Chapter 922: Adding an Extra Arm to Assist |
Gu Yue Huaidie indeed had nothing to hide. Regarding Meng Zhang's various questions, she basically spoke candidly, leaving nothing unsaid.
If she truly didn't know something, she didn't make things up and would at most offer some relevant conjectures.
Meng Zhang stumbled upon a secret technique manual called "Grand Evolving Fortune" by chance, which led him onto the path of a Diviner.
Without any guidance from a master, he was completely ignorant of the various aspects of being a Diviner and became one in a haphazard manner, making him a self-taught practitioner.
It was only later, after obtaining the heritage scripture from the Taiyi Sect, that he gained a deeper understanding of the Diviner community.
However, when it came to the practice of the secret technique, no one was able to give him guidance.
In contrast to Meng Zhang's situation, Gu Yue Huaidie had a clear inheritance.
Within the Gu Yue Family of Great Wind City, the tradition of Diviners had been passed down for generations, and it had never been interrupted.
Due to her innate talent, Gu Yue Huaidie was chosen from among many clan members at a young age and received the guidance of the senior Diviners in the clan.
The secret technique practiced by the clan's Diviners was limited to the Gold Core level.
In reality, even the highest level of the Gu Yue Family's secret technique would only reach this stage.
Gu Yue Huaidie was considered quite good, as she was able to cultivate to this level.
In the family's history, there were times when the clan's Diviners were only at the Foundation Building stage.
Gu Yue Huaidie's proficiency in the secret technique was similar to Meng Zhang's, both being grandmasters in the art.
If they wanted to reach a higher level and become a master of the secret technique, both Gu Yue Huaidie and Meng Zhang were equally clueless.
To prove that she was not lying, Gu Yue Huaidie even recited the family's secret technique that had been passed down for generations to let Meng Zhang know about it.
Naturally, Gu Yue Huaidie was unwilling to reveal the clan's highest secrets. But she had no choice; she couldn't let Meng Zhang suspect anything.
Though she had known Meng Zhang for many years and understood his character, knowing that he wasn't the kind of wicked and evil person.
But people could change, and as their Cultivation Base advanced, their behavior could become completely different.
Meng Zhang had a fearsome reputation and had even achieved the feat of killing a Primordial Spirit True Monarch. Deep inside, Gu Yue Huaidie harbored a profound sense of fear towards him.
Gu Yue Huaidie took the initiative to recite the family's secret technique, and Meng Zhang did not stop her.He didn't force the other party; everything was voluntary.
Even before listening to the end, Meng Zhang knew that the secret technique passed down in the Gu Yue Family was far inferior to his own cultivation of the "Grand Evolving Fortune."
Each deduction required a considerable price, and the accuracy of the deductions was generally average.
However, learning about another secret technique provided an additional reference.
Patiently, Meng Zhang listened to Gu Yue Huaidie's recitation and nodded in satisfaction.
Cultivators like Gu Yue Huaidie, who had an inheritance, generally practiced a special mind-locking secret technique.
Meng Zhang's innate Divine Ability, Mind Reading, couldn't read her specific thoughts; it could only sense some emotions and thoughts briefly.
Meng Zhang could roughly determine that Gu Yue Huaidie was not lying.
Even if she held back some information, there was no malicious intent.
Meng Zhang didn't achieve his objective; he didn't obtain any clues about breaking through in the art of the secret technique from Gu Yue Huaidie.
However, the things Gu Yue Huaidie mentioned regarding Diviners broadened Meng Zhang's horizons.
These things that couldn't be found in books were helpful in increasing his knowledge.
Meng Zhang had a long conversation with Gu Yue Huaidie and learned a lot about matters related to Diviners. However, when it came to breaking through his current level of the secret technique, he gained nothing.
Meng Zhang didn't go back on his word and didn't make things difficult for Gu Yue Huaidie.
After the conversation concluded, Meng Zhang asked Gu Yue Huaidie to leave. He assured her that he would keep her identity as a Diviner confidential and wouldn't casually reveal it.
With profound gratitude, Gu Yue Huaidie left and quickly departed from the Taiyi Sect's gate.
It seemed that the destined opportunity hadn't arrived yet, and he hadn't encountered the key to breaking through the secret technique. Meng Zhang thought to himself.
In such matters, there was no use in being anxious. He decided to relax and no longer dwell on this issue.
As a Diviner, he held a certain respect for the opportunities that came from fate.
The only thing Meng Zhang could do was to recite the scriptures, comprehend the Dao teachings, and gradually accumulate his Dao achievements.
The higher his Cultivation Base, the more he could comprehend the principles within the scriptures.
He also knew that insufficient accumulation of Dao achievements could impede the breakthrough of his Cultivation Base.
Since the visit of Shang Han True Monarch, which resulted in an unsuccessful outcome, Meng Zhang made sure that everyone in Taiyi Sect remained vigilant.However, after a considerable period of time, there had been no significant actions from the Great Prosperity Trading Alliance. The Tool and Talisman League, the Wonderful Pill Union, and other forces were also operating as usual. Even Taiyi Sect's purchases from the Great Prosperity Trading Alliance were smooth, without any difficulties.
Meng Zhang couldn't grasp the intentions of the Great Prosperity Trading Alliance, so he couldn't make targeted arrangements.
Just when he felt a bit anxious, some good news finally arrived within the sect.
Elder Yang Xueyi, who was in seclusion attempting to break through to the Primordial Spirit realm, had successfully advanced to the Primordial Spirit stage.
When a cultivator advanced to the Gold Core stage, there would be various heaven and earth anomalies around them. However, during the breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit stage, although there were still many anomalies, they could be controlled.
Yang Xueyi was not one to draw attention to herself, so she didn't make a big fuss during her breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit stage.
However, Meng Zhang was within Taiyi Sect's gates, and with his perception ability, Yang Xueyi's breakthrough didn't escape his notice.
The place where Yang Xueyi was in seclusion was filled with surging spiritual energy, and five-colored lights flickered, while the power of the Five Elements Grand Dao trembled slightly.
Yang Xueyi's spiritual roots were of the Five Elements attribute, her cultivation technique was also of the Five Elements attribute, and she comprehended the Grand Dao of the Five Elements.
The Grand Dao of the Five Elements was among the top-ranked Grand Dao among the three thousand Grand Daos. It not only had tremendous power but also offered a variety of Divine Ability transformations.
With Yang Xueyi's successful advancement to the Primordial Spirit stage, Meng Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With another Primordial Spirit stage cultivator in Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang had an additional helping hand. It would relieve him of many burdens and free up his time.
Now that Yang Xueyi had achieved the Primordial Spirit stage, Meng Zhang wondered about Niu Dawei, who had been in seclusion around the same time. He was concerned about his personally nurtured direct disciple, but he knew better than to disturb him during a critical moment of his seclusion.
Meng Zhang had to suppress his worries and temporarily set this matter aside.
Though Yang Xueyi had successfully advanced to the Primordial Spirit stage, she still needed some time to consolidate her Cultivation Base and adapt to her newfound strength.
Meng Zhang didn't disturb her and allowed her to continue her seclusion.
He also refrained from publicizing Yang Xueyi's advancement to the Primordial Spirit stage. As a newly advanced cultivator, she needed to master the techniques and cultivate some Dao Techniques and Divine Abilities. Moreover, within Taiyi Sect, there were no spare Fourth Rank magic tools available for her, except for the obviously incompatible Beast Controlling Plate.
