Chapter 925: Fire-Water Sect |
The Azure Origin Sect has always used He Luo True Monarch without trust or even any sense of loyalty.
Unlike others, True Monarch Azure Mist once shared life and death with He Luo True Monarch.
Back then, He Luo True Monarch almost risked his life to save True Monarch Azure Mist.
If it weren't for the fortuitous encounter with Meng Zhang and the assistance he received, He Luo True Monarch would have perished long ago under the pursuit of the Dali Dynasty.
However, True Monarch Azure Mist shows no basic trust in He Luo True Monarch.
True Monarch Azure Mist clearly went to reshape his physical body, yet he deceives He Luo True Monarch, displaying clear wariness towards him.
This behavior deeply disappoints He Luo True Monarch.
Large sects like the Azure Origin Sect have never regarded He Luo True Monarch as one of their own but merely as a tool to be used.
He Luo True Monarch is not foolish; after understanding this, he naturally distances himself from the Azure Origin Sect.
He has done both right and wrong deeds, offended numerous cultivators, and created countless enmities.
All that he has done to repay the kindness of the Azure Origin Sect has already far exceeded what was necessary.
He Luo True Monarch now realizes that he owes nothing to the Azure Origin Sect.
Unwilling to stay any longer, He Luo True Monarch leaves the Azure Origin Sect, ignoring True Monarch Azure Mist's attempts to keep him.
After leaving the Azure Origin Sect, He Luo True Monarch spends several years wandering outside.
He Luo True Monarch knows that he is no longer young among Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
His cultivation base is only at the early stage of Primordial Spirit, and even breaking through to the mid-stage seems distant and uncertain with little hope.
He understands that this is partly due to his loose cultivator background, and Azure Origin Sect never fully supported and helped him.
He Luo True Monarch doesn't have high hopes for his own path now.
His only wish is to pass down his knowledge and skills, ensuring they do not disappear into history.
He Luo True Monarch does not want to stay in the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle, nor does he wish to join the Dali Dynasty.
The Jiuqu League has long become part of Dali Dynasty's Jiuqu Province, and there seems to be no other suitable place around.After much contemplation, He Luo True Monarch decided to seek refuge with his benefactor, Meng Zhang. Though their time together was not long, Meng Zhang's demeanor and conduct deeply impressed him.
He Luo True Monarch arrived at the Hundred Grass Slope, the mountain gate of Taiyi Sect, and received a warm welcome from Meng Zhang. After catching up on old times, He Luo True Monarch openly shared his experiences over the years and his thoughts with Meng Zhang, also making a request.
His request was modest: he asked Meng Zhang to allocate a piece of land within Taiyi Sect's territory for him to establish a sect and continue his own legacy. Being a lone individual with no experience in managing a sect, He Luo True Monarch sought Meng Zhang's assistance in choosing the mountain gate location, assigning the sect's territory, and recruiting disciples.
In return, the sect he established would become a vassal force under Taiyi Sect, and he himself would serve Meng Zhang. During his service, Meng Zhang would provide the necessary resources for He Luo True Monarch's cultivation.
Feeling the sincerity of He Luo True Monarch, Meng Zhang saw no reason to reject the offer of a Primordial Spirit cultivator willingly coming to join them. He Luo True Monarch's modest requests were barely worth mentioning, and for Meng Zhang, they were easily fulfilled.
In the past, Meng Zhang might not have readily accepted He Luo True Monarch. At that time, Taiyi Sect only had Meng Zhang as a early-stage Primordial Spirit cultivator, while they already had Jin Li True Monarch as a guest elder. Accepting He Luo True Monarch would have upset the internal balance and could have put Taiyi Sect in danger if anything happened to Meng Zhang.
However, now that Meng Zhang had advanced to the mid-stage of Primordial Spirit, and Yang Xueyi had also achieved Primordial Spirit, they were capable of handling various unforeseen circumstances. Even if there were more mid-stage Primordial Spirit guest elders in the sect, it would not affect the power structure or pose a threat to the sect.
Thus, accepting He Luo True Monarch at this time would bring only benefits and no harm. Meng Zhang readily agreed to He Luo True Monarch's request, which greatly pleased him.
After reaching an agreement, Meng Zhang personally led He Luo True Monarch on a tour of Taiyi Sect's territory, covering everything from the Endless Sea of Sand to Demon Wind Gobi, and not even skipping the Deadly Sea of Sand.Meng Zhang generously expressed that within all of Taiyi Sect's territories, except for a few places like the mountain gate, He Luo True Monarch could choose any location he desired to establish his sect.
As they flew to the western part of Demon Wind Gobi, Meng Zhang mentioned that Taiyi Sect had engaged in a major battle with the Sea Clan here, repelling their invasion of Demon Wind Gobi.
He Luo True Monarch volunteered to choose a spot on the western coast of Demon Wind Gobi as the location for his sect's mountain gate. By establishing his sect there, he could guard Taiyi Sect's western gate. If the Sea Clan invaded again, he would be Taiyi Sect's first line of defense.
Meng Zhang was deeply moved by He Luo True Monarch's dedication and resolute attitude, so he didn't try to dissuade him. In any case, if the Sea Clan invaded Demon Wind Gobi again, Taiyi Sect would not stand idle and would undoubtedly step onto the battlefield.
In the western coastal area of Demon Wind Gobi, He Luo True Monarch chose a location with a Third Rank spirit vein as the mountain gate for his sect. Meng Zhang also allocated a large piece of land outside the mountain gate as his territory.
Of course, for now, the territory remained uninhabited and undeveloped. They would need to relocate mortals to the area and send cultivators to carry out various construction projects.
These specific tasks were sure to be handled properly by Taiyi Sect's elders.
Although the establishment of the sect was still in its early stages, He Luo True Monarch had already decided on the name of the sect.
His main cultivation technique was the "Harmonious Union of Fire and Water," and his main Grand Dao was the Fire-Water Grand Dao. Thus, he named the sect-to-be "Fire-Water Sect."
Once Fire-Water Sect was established, it would become a vassal of Taiyi Sect and a member of the Hanhai Alliance.
It would fulfill all its obligations to Taiyi Sect without exception.
Of course, during the initial phase of Fire-Water Sect's establishment, Taiyi Sect would offer full assistance and help alleviate various burdens.
With Taiyi Sect's full support, the task of establishing the sect became much simpler for He Luo True Monarch.
The time of a Primordial Spirit True Monarch is extremely valuable, and they cannot be entangled in trivial matters.
During the initial phase of Fire-Water Sect's establishment, most tasks would be handled by Taiyi Sect disciples or cultivators from the Hanhai Alliance.
Once Fire-Water Sect had a solid foundation, it would naturally become self-sufficient.
