The Way of the Immortal Master

As long as a full-scale war does not break out, Taiyimen and Feihongzong can still persist.

Without Daoist Jinli and Daoist Feishi, Taiyimen and Feihongzong are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of Jindan's combat power, but in the battle of low-level disciples, they can be both offensive and defensive, and they can fight the enemy with vigor .

This battle, which is destined to last for a long time, is a tempering of blood and fire for Taiyimen disciples.

A large number of disciples were lost in bloody battles, and many outstanding disciples stood out.

Meng Zhang and several Jindan monks in the sect took turns to supervise the battle on the front line, always paying attention to the changes in the battle situation.

Teams of low-level disciples from the four sects stepped onto the battlefield, struggling to survive in the bloody meat grinder.

At this time, no one has a way out, and everyone must persevere to the end.

Although we know that sacrifices cannot be avoided in wars, death is inevitable in wars. However, Meng Zhang couldn't help but see that a disciple of the Taiyi sect who had been carefully cultivated for many years was quickly consumed on the battlefield like a consumable.

As the instigators of the war, the Huoyun Sect and the Huanglian Sect's Hedong branch were also unwilling to see this scene.

Especially the Huoyun faction suffered heavy losses when they invaded the Endless Sand Sea several times before, and they have not recovered their vitality so far.

Leaving aside the Jindan real person in the sect, in terms of the low-level disciples in the sect alone, the Fire Cloud Sect is not much better than Fei Hongzong.

On the contrary, as a new force, the Huanglian Sect's Hedong sub-altar is not only powerful in itself, but also recruits many vassals to join the war.

Before the split, the Yellow Lotus Sect was a powerful force in the forefront of the entire Jiuqu League. Even after the split, the strength of each sub-altar is stronger than most of the Jindan sects of the Jiuqu League.

The Yellow Lotus Sect's Hedong branch took on the main offensive task this time, and sent a steady stream of monks to join the battle.

Of course, even the Hedong branch, which has a big family and a big business, still feels pain in the face of heavy losses.

Even if high-level monks don't treat low-level disciples as human beings, they don't want the sect's disciples to lose too much, which will affect all aspects of the sect.

It's a pity that the Huoyun faction and the Hedong branch don't have much choice.

They had no choice but to choose this way to fight Taiyimen and Feihongzong.

They looked for all kinds of excuses to perfunctory, and they refused to start a full-scale war for a long time, just trying to reduce their own losses.

They took the initiative to provoke the battle this time, which was also part of the test mission.

If it is too late to find out the reality of Tianzhu Zhenjun, the two Yuanshen Zhenjun behind him will definitely force them to launch a full-scale war.

I just don't know how long the two Yuanshen Zhenjun can endure.

It is one thing to let the sect disciples be tempered, and it is another thing to let them die in meaningless battles. After Meng Zhang stayed on the front line for a while, he felt that he could not sit idly by.

The initiative of the war is not in Meng Zhang's hands, and he is even less willing to escalate the war.

Although the casualties are a bit heavy now, the battle situation can still be maintained. If all the Jindan masters of the enemy end, Taiyimen and Feihongzong may not be able to resist.

In order to deal with this kind of battle, Taiyimen invested a lot of money to buy a large amount of war materials from Dafeng City and distribute them to the disciples who participated in the battle.

Regardless of cost, the Taiyi Sect increased the combat effectiveness of its disciples, at most reducing casualties, but it could not solve the fundamental problem.

Meng Zhang thought about it for a long time, and felt that the best way was to have other forces to participate in the battle, instead of the disciples to wear down.

At the beginning of the war, the Taiyi Gate had already offered a high reward to hire monks from the Jiuqu League to join the war.

The Fire Cloud Sect and the Hedong Branch Altar have been passed down for thousands of years, and their heritage is far richer than that of Taiyi Sect. If you really take out your family's wealth, your financial resources are only stronger than Taiyimen's.

Taiyimen can hire cannon fodder, they can also hire cannon fodder, and even offer better conditions to hire more cannon fodder.

Taiyi Sect has many comprehension forces in the Hanhai Dao League to drive, and the Hedong Fentan and Huoyun faction also have many vassals.

As the war continued and a large number of hired monks were wasted on the battlefield, it became increasingly difficult for both sides to hire new cannon fodder.

No matter how high the reward offered is, you have to spend it with your life.

The monks of the vassal forces have limited combat effectiveness, so they need to send direct disciples as the backbone to undertake the main combat tasks.

Seeing that he couldn't think of a better way for the time being, Meng Zhang put his mind on Tianji Technique.

As the attainment of the secret art became deeper, it became more and more difficult for Meng Zhang to perform the secret art once.

The more you come into contact with the way of heaven, the more guarded and fear will arise in your heart, and you will become more cautious.

Using the secret technique to peek at the changes of the heavens and deduce the past and the future, sooner or later, the heavens will backfire.

Regardless of the fact that Meng Zhang hasn't suffered backlash yet, it is because his accumulated backlash power is not enough.

If you continue to use the secret art without any scruples, the accumulated backlash will only become stronger and stronger, and one day it will explode.

The second reason is that the last time he killed Moxiu Ye Feifan, he gained the merits of heaven, which can offset the backlash to a certain extent.

Meng Zhang is now becoming more and more cautious about the issue of using the secret technique. If it is not really necessary, he will generally not display it easily. Moreover, he will not take the initiative to touch problems that are too difficult to calculate.

It's like the dangerous situation Taiyimen is currently facing, because it involves Yuanshen Zhenjun. If he hastily calculated the solution, the consequences of getting nothing would be light. Once it is backlashed by heaven, it might cost your life.

Therefore, facing problems, Meng Zhang can only see the tricks and solve them bit by bit.

After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, Meng Zhang felt that his calculation would not lead to bad consequences and could solve the problem, so he was ready to use it.

Because none of the Jindan stage monks on both sides directly participated in the battle, the Taiyimen side is relatively well-managed. Meng Zhang left the front line and returned to the gate.

After returning to Baicaopo, Meng Zhang retreated to cast spells and performed Dayan magic calculation. After some deduction, he had the answer in his heart.

After he confessed to his disciples, he left Baicao Slope and flew towards the death sand sea.

Meng Zhang didn't delay on the road, and flew directly to the center of the death sand sea, not far from the battlefield where Tianzhu Zhenjun and the fifth-order earth spirit died together.

Originally because of their war, the space was torn apart like the end of the world, and countless space cracks appeared and disappeared in it.

Storms from different dimensions whizzed past, and the earth often shook violently. The ground is covered with bottomless gullies, and the magma flowing from the ground flows in all directions. The sky was full of black smoke and poisonous fire, and thick black clouds blocked the sun.

The most frightening thing is that because the two warring parties wantonly stimulated the power of the Dao, they distorted the surrounding rules of heaven and earth. The rules here are a mess.

The magma is like a waterfall flowing backwards, actually flowing towards the sky. The flames and the rain are intertwined, but they don't affect each other.

If an ordinary cultivator enters this place, up, down, left, and right are completely upside down, and the basic sense of space will soon be lost.

If you take a random step, you may fall into another space. If you are unlucky, you will be directly shredded by the space crack.

When Daoist Jindan came here, he only dared to wander around the periphery, and never dared to go deep easily.

The closer you get to the center of the battlefield, the stronger the remaining Dao power will be, and it will easily hurt Jindan Daoist.

Meng Zhang stood in the distance, looking at the direction of the battlefield, his face was very ugly.

Since the Great War that year, Meng Zhang would come to this place every once in a while to investigate the changes here.

Compared to when True Lord Tianzhu and the fifth-order earth spirit died together, the situation here is much better. If you sense it carefully, you can clearly feel that the power of the Great Dao remaining around becomes weaker and weaker as time goes by.

The traces left by the great war may not disappear for thousands of years, but after the power of the great way fades, there is no power to prevent outsiders from entering the center of the battlefield.

After the Yuanshen Zhenjun falls, there will usually be a vision of Dao disappearing. Such a vision can last for hundreds of years.

Without the cover of the remaining Dao power in the periphery, as long as a cultivator gets a little closer, he can find the vision of Dao disappearing, knowing that Zhenjun Tianzhu must have fallen.

Without Zhenjun Tianzhu's deterrence, and without Zhenjun Yuefeng and Xuanfeng's actions, their subordinates alone could easily destroy Taiyi Sect.

Meng Zhang estimated the speed at which the power of the Great Dao would disappear, and Taiyimen still had thirty years at most.

If by that time, Daoist Jin Li has not succeeded in becoming a Yuanshen, then the Taiyi Sect will have to make another plan.

Meng Zhang put aside these troubles for the time being, and took care of his eyes before talking.

He circled the battlefield, followed the results he derived, and searched carefully.

After searching around for several days, Meng Zhang finally found his target when he passed a sand dune.

Under the observation of his delusion-breaking eyes, through the yellow sand hundreds of feet deep. A strange crystal the size of a human head and shaped like a honeycomb was quietly buried in the ground.

With a flick of his hand, the entire sand dune was blown away by an invisible force. Countless yellow sand rose from the ground, and then was thrown heavily into the distance, revealing the crystal.

Meng Zhang used his magic eye again, but he couldn't see through the crystal. He checked repeatedly with his divine sense, but he didn't find anything wrong.

There was no warning from his spiritual sense, which meant that this crystal was not a dangerous item.

With a light stroke of his right hand, Meng Zhang held the crystal in his hand.

After some repeated observations, he even used Dayan's divine calculation to make calculations. Meng Zhang finally figured out the details of this crystal.

This crystal is not a magic weapon, nor a spiritual object, but a rare treasure.

The so-called rare treasures in the cultivation world are often treasures with special functions.

Rare treasures are either refined by great powers, or born of heaven and earth.

Rare treasures contain magical powers, and they cannot be classified according to the grades commonly used in the cultivation world.

Meng Zhang has not figured out the function of this rare treasure for the time being, and this place is not a quiet place where he can calm down and study it.

Meng Zhang flew high into the sky, took this newly acquired treasure, and returned directly to Baicao Slope, the mountain gate of Taiyi Gate.

After returning to the mountain gate, Meng Zhang first contacted the Jindan monks who were on duty at the front line to confirm that there was no new change in the battle situation, then he calmed down and slowly studied this rare treasure.

It took more than three months for Meng Zhang's research to barely figure out the general details of this rare treasure.

This rare treasure is not a product of the Junchen Realm, but comes from another world in the void outside the Territory.

This rare treasure is not produced naturally by heaven and earth, but refined by the day after tomorrow.

As for its origin and the specific refining process, Meng Zhang is not very clear.

Many of his knowledge of this rare treasure are his own guesses.

Dayan God is not omnipotent, even if Meng Zhang put aside his scruples and tried his best, he could only deduce part of the information.

According to Meng Zhang's guess based on various information, this rare treasure fell into the hands of the fifth-order earth spirit somehow, and was brought to Junchen Realm by it.

This rare treasure has the magical ability of derivation and reproduction, and can create various creatures according to various templates.

The fifth-order earth spirit probably designed a set of templates with reference to many characteristics of the earth spirit family, creating a brand new species of sand monster.

The earliest sand monster was born from this rare treasure.

The ability of the fifth-order earth spirit is certainly not comparable to that of a golden core monk like Meng Zhang. Not only can it give full play to the role of this rare treasure, but after finding out its details, it also imitates it to create a sand monster lair.

With this rare treasure alone, the speed of creating sand monsters is too slow, and it can't meet the requirements of the fifth-order earth spirit at all.

Although the sand monster lair it created after imitating this rare treasure has many flaws, it is far from as complete as this rare treasure, but it is barely enough.

The fifth-order earth spirit came to this world alone, facing repeated crusades.

When it was fighting with Zhenjun Tianzhu, Zhenjun Tianzhu thought that it would be able to win soon even if he saw that it had no help and was alone.

But the fifth-order earth spirit has this rare treasure, and can create a large number of sand monsters as his helpers. In the gambling fight, he confronted Zhenjun Tianzhu's subordinates.

Later, I felt that the speed of making sand monsters from this rare treasure was too slow, so the fifth-order earth spirit imitated that rare treasure, and first produced the seeds of the sand monster's lair. These seeds were spread throughout the death sand sea by various means, and grew into sand monster lairs all over the death sand sea, giving birth to countless sand monsters.

There are also many sand monster nest seeds, which are scattered in the endless sand sea and grow into sand monster nests. In the history of the endless sand sea, disasters of sand monsters have been set off again and again, causing catastrophes one after another, bringing huge losses to the world of endless sand sea cultivation.

If it wasn't for Feihongzong's ability to deal with it, and with the secret help of Jin Li, the entire endless sand sea might be subverted by the endless group of sand monsters.

It is precisely because the sand monster disasters have involved a lot of Feihongzong's energy and consumed a lot of Feihongzong's resources. As the ruler of the endless sand sea, Feihongzong was still unable to make a breakthrough and could only guard the endless sand sea.

This rare treasure is probably carried by the fifth-order earth spirit. After it was blown up by Zhenjun Tianzhu, this rare treasure was thrown out for some reason, and fell to the periphery of the battlefield.
