Chapter 856: Caretakers |
Meng Zhang's friends, Luo YeDaoist Master and Jue YingDaoist Master, are both members of the Red Pig True Monarch faction.
Naturally, they have to follow the organization and leave the Jiuqu League together.
Before leaving, the two of them specifically went to the front-line camp of the Taiyi Sect to bid farewell to Meng Zhang.
The troops of the Jiuqu League's Dark Alliance branch left here, led by two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs. However, it is not easy to establish a new foundation in the fiercely competitive Cultivation World.
Fortunately, both the master and disciples are still young and have great prospects ahead.
Their attitudes are also good, and they are not anxious or worried about their uncertain future.
Meng Zhang is already a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, while these two friends are only Gold Core Daoist Masters, so there is a significant difference in their levels. From a purely selfish perspective, their help to him will only diminish over time.
However, Meng Zhang does not distance himself from his old friends just because of the disparity in their Cultivation Bases and status changes.
Meng Zhang had a long conversation with them and solemnly promised that if they ever need help in the future, they should not hesitate to let him know.
Luo YeDaoist Master and Jue YingDaoist Master are both exceptional talents with the potential to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage.
In this Taoist scripture, Meng Zhang recorded some insights and experiences on how to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage. These were personal understandings and experiences and did not involve specific cultivation techniques or Taiyi Sect's heritage.
The Dark Alliance, being an ancient and influential force, undoubtedly has numerous similar records within the organization.
Although, given Dark Alliance's modus operandi, they wouldn't just give Luo YeDaoist Master and the others access to these records for no reason.
But with their identities and connections, they still have the opportunity to exchange for these records within the organization or even receive guidance from senior Primordial Spirit experts.
However, that doesn't mean Meng Zhang's handwritten scripture is meaningless.
With Meng Zhang's Cultivation Base and insights, his handwritten scripture can be considered a precious treasure in the Cultivation World.
After carefully reading it, Luo YeDaoist Master and Jue YingDaoist Master must have found it helpful for their future breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit stage.
They didn't say much in gratitude, as a thousand words were conveyed without saying anything.
When Luo YeDaoist Master and her disciple left, Meng Zhang felt a bit melancholic.
However, he quickly set aside these emotions.
With the imminent collapse of the Jiuqu League, everyone is looking for their own path and making various preparations.
Taiyi Sect cannot miss the opportunity at hand; they must seize this rare chance to gain the greatest benefits for themselves.
As the Jiuqu League's Dark Alliance branch starts to withdraw, Book Mountain True Monarch also executes his own plans.
Book Mountain True Monarch has always kept a low profile and isn't well-known. Nevertheless, he is a genuine Primordial Spirit True Monarch with a group of followers.
Being able to become the leader of a faction within the original Jiuqu League's Dark Alliance branch, standing on equal footing with other factions, proves that he is not to be underestimated.
Book Mountain True Monarch easily gained control of the original Dark Alliance branch in the Endless Sea of Sand.
As Book Mountain True Monarch's subordinates continue to enter the Endless Sea of Sand, reaching Demon Wind Gobi, a new Dark Alliance branch gradually takes shape.
Dark Alliance has a presence in most parts of the Cultivation World. Especially those cultivation forces aware of Dark Alliance do not wish to antagonize it.Meng Zhang knew that avoiding this situation was unavoidable, so he let Book Mountain True Monarch, whom he was familiar with, take control of the Dark Alliance branch on Taiyi Sect's territory.
According to Dark Alliance's tradition, the Dark Alliance branch on Taiyi Sect's territory would not openly align itself with Taiyi Sect but would maintain a completely independent status.
Of course, in secret, the Dark Alliance branch would provide various assistance to Taiyi Sect, helping them manage the dark side of their territory.
Book Mountain True Monarch himself would also help Meng Zhang against their enemies.
Before Red Pig True Monarch and Jade Rabbit True Monarch left the Jiuqu League, they had one more thing to ask for Meng Zhang's help.
ChangchunTrue Monarch of the Changchun Outlook, formerly known as Wooden Head, had helped Red Pig True Monarch and others with many things.
Later, due to the betrayal of True Monarch Crossing Blade, also known as Old Blade, Changchun True Monarch's physical body was destroyed, and only his Primordial Spirit escaped.
Generally, when a Primordial Spirit True Monarch's physical body is destroyed and they don't want to be reincarnated, they usually have three options.
The first is to directly enter the Netherworld and pursue the path of becoming a Ghost Deity.
The second is to choose a new physical body to possess and start again. However, it's not easy to find a suitable and satisfying physical body for a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.
The third option is to use external forces and heavenly materials to reshape a new body.
Changchun True Monarch chose the third method.
Many years ago, he planted a spirit tree in the Changchun Outlook. Using a secret method, he temporarily placed his Primordial Spirit in this spirit tree.
As the spirit tree grows, his Primordial Spirit will gradually merge with it.
When the spirit tree matures, he will have a new physical body.
Of course, this process is time-consuming and requires a lot of focus, as any disturbance during the process could harm the spirit tree and even injure Changchun Daoist Master's Primordial Spirit.
Due to the events from back then, Red Pig True Monarch and the others felt indebted to Changchun Daoist Master and have always taken care of him.
Aside from secretly taking care of the Changchun Outlook, they also focused on protecting the spirit tree where Changchun Daoist Master's Primordial Spirit was placed.
With the protection of the Dark Alliance branch in the Changchun Outlook, its survival is not an issue, and its status will not be shaken.
The spirit tree is hidden deep within the Changchun Outlook and guarded by the forces of the region, so there shouldn't be any problems.
However, now that Red Pig True Monarch and the others have left with the Dark Alliance, Book Mountain True Monarch finds it difficult to handle everything on his own, and it would be challenging to continue taking care of the Changchun Outlook.
As a dark organization, the Dark Alliance is involved in many dirty and unsavory matters, and most of its members have their hands stained with blood.
While Red Pig True Monarch and Jade Rabbit True Monarch cannot be considered good people and may have committed many evil deeds, they still have principles and a sense of responsibility.
They feel responsible for Changchun Daoist Master's current predicament, and naturally, they cannot ignore it; they must take full responsibility until he regains his physical body.
Therefore, before leaving, they entrusted Meng Zhang to take care of the Changchun Outlook and look after Changchun Daoist Master until he regains his physical body.
They also understood the principle that a generous emperor does not lack hungry soldiers and gave Meng Zhang many benefits.
Since they were about to leave, they didn't want to leave behind things they couldn't take with them, so they decided to give Meng Zhang some items from the Dark Alliance branch's treasury as a reward for his help.
