Chapter 926: Cooperation |
Meng Zhang's support for True Monarch He Luo is significant, with all aspects of manpower and resources tilted in favor.
With the power of Taiyi Sect, when fully invested in something, significant achievements can be quickly attained.
Originally, the desolate mountains and wild ridges with no one were built with houses and farmlands...
A large number of ordinary people migrated here from other places.
In the Cultivation World, ordinary people are a precious wealth. They form the foundation of the Cultivation World. With a certain number of ordinary people, it becomes possible for cultivators with awakened spiritual roots to emerge.
Over the years, Taiyi Sect and its affiliated powers have been striving to improve the living environment of the Endless Sea of Sand and Demon Wind Gobi, making them more suitable for ordinary people to live in.
After hundreds of years of reproduction, there are millions of ordinary people under the rule of Taiyi Sect.
Both Demon Wind Gobi and Endless Sea of Sand originally had environments that were not suitable for ordinary people to survive in.
Although they have been modified later, the number of ordinary people they can accommodate is still limited.
Due to limited conditions, it is difficult to achieve significant results in the transformation of Endless Sea of Sand no matter how much effort is put in.
On the other hand, Demon Wind Gobi, as long as sufficient resources are invested, can be transformed into several settlements suitable for ordinary people to live in.
Moreover, Demon Wind Gobi has various resources such as spirit veins and mineral deposits far exceeding those in Endless Sea of Sand.
With Taiyi Sect's complete control over Demon Wind Gobi, many cultivation forces from Endless Sea of Sand are willing to relocate their sects and territories to Endless Sea of Sand.
Currently, in Endless Sea of Sand, except for a few places like Feihong Mountain, most of the oases are used to settle some insignificant affiliated sects or families.
The places with slightly better conditions are all directly controlled by Taiyi Sect.
Establishing a sect from scratch involves many complex tasks.
True Monarch He Luo cannot meddle in these affairs and is also unwilling to be bothered by them.
Most of the time, he stays in Hundred Grass Slope, the main gate of Taiyi Sect.
Meng Zhang and Yang Xueyi often communicate and spar with him.When the establishment of the sect under True Monarch He Luo was going smoothly, Cult Master Xu Mengying of Yellow Lotus Sect came to the main gate of Taiyi Sect to discuss matters with Meng Zhang.
After meeting each other, Meng Zhang noticed that Xu Mengying's face was beaming with joy, not hiding her good mood.
As far as Meng Zhang knew, ever since Yellow Lotus Sect was forced into a difficult situation by those external big merchant families, she couldn't conceal her worries every time they met. But now, it seemed that she had been doing well during this period.
Xu Mengying didn't hide anything from Meng Zhang and took the initiative to share her recent gains.
After obtaining the talisman to enter and exit the Heavenly Palace from Meng Zhang, Xu Mengying didn't wait long before heading there on her own. With the help of the booklet written by Meng Zhang, she avoided many detours and quickly integrated into the Heavenly Palace.
Not only did she make acquaintances with fellow daoists in the Heavenly Palace, but she actively participated in various tasks. Starting from the lowest-level tasks in the main hall, she slowly completed them and took on new ones, steadily accumulating her strength.
Just like Meng Zhang's initial idea, she chose to focus on those lower-level tasks as her starting point.
During the process of completing tasks, her outstanding performance caught the attention of a great power at the Return to Emptiness realm. This Return to Emptiness great power was a loose cultivator without any sect to rely on.
Even after achieving the Return to Emptiness realm, many cultivators, including Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, wanted to join her. However, she found it difficult to trust those who actively sought to join her.
This Return to Emptiness great power discovered the coordinates of some small worlds within the boundless void. She needed some low-level cultivators to infiltrate these small worlds, control them from within, while she exerted force from outside.
Through a combination of inside and outside forces, she aimed to completely control these small worlds and drag them close to Grand Dust World to be assimilated and merged by it.
Since she didn't have enough low-level cultivators at her disposal, she issued tasks in the main hall of the Heavenly Palace.
Seeing an opportunity, Xu Mengying took on these tasks.
With a large number of disciples in Yellow Lotus Sect, especially a considerable number of low-level disciples, they were among the best in the entire Jiuqu Province.
After paying a heavy price of disciple casualties, Xu Mengying helped this Return to Emptiness great power settle two small worlds, gaining her initial trust.
Now, this Return to Emptiness great power wants to intensify her efforts to control more small worlds.This requires Xu Mengying to dispatch more low-level disciples to serve this Return to Emptiness great power.
Although Yellow Lotus Sect has many disciples, the number of truly capable cultivators is limited. Moreover, Xu Mengying is reluctant to send her most outstanding disciples on such high-risk missions.
So, she thought of Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang's ability to enter and establish himself in the Heavenly Palace was a great help. Both Taiyi Sect and the Alliance of the Vast Sea have a considerable number of cultivators, some of whom can be employed.
If Meng Zhang is willing to cooperate with her and complete these tasks together, sharing the benefits, it would be a win-win situation for everyone.
After hearing Xu Mengying's proposal, Meng Zhang did not hastily agree but instead carefully inquired about various details.
He asked about the reliability of this Return to Emptiness great power, the casualties of the low-level disciples, and whether they have sufficient safety measures in place.
Meng Zhang asked many questions, and Xu Mengying provided detailed answers.
If Xu Mengying's words are true, participating in these tasks indeed comes with significant benefits.
Although Meng Zhang has inherited the assets left by Taiyi Sect's ancestors in the Heavenly Palace and some pure jade inspiration, he cannot solely rely on that and must have a source of income.
With Taiyi Sect's current strength, they are not qualified to participate in the battles in the void.
Taking on these low-level tasks and serving those Return to Emptiness great powers in exchange for merit points is already part of his plan. He just hadn't rushed into it before and intended to deal with matters in Jiuqu Province first.
He was surprised that Xu Mengying acted so swiftly and efficiently, putting everything on track so quickly.
Aside from Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying's personal relationship, Taiyi Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect are currently allies, and cooperating to complete tasks doesn't pose any obstacles.
Moreover, according to Meng Zhang's vision, if the cooperation between Taiyi Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect goes smoothly, they can gradually bring in other sects and families from the alliance to work together in the future.
There are countless small worlds in the void, and for Return to Emptiness great powers to capture them entirely, they need the assistance of many low-level cultivators.
While those Return to Emptiness great powers from major sects may have some options, loose cultivators or Return to Emptiness great powers from smaller sects have no choice but to seek help from others.
In fact, even those Return to Emptiness great powers from major sects sometimes hire low-level cultivators from other sects to reduce casualties within their own sects.
