Chapter 944: Achievement: Primordial Spirit |
After experiencing this close observation, Meng Zhang entrusted the heavy responsibility to Yang Xueyi. From now on, she would be stationed in the Heavenly Palace, specifically responsible for taking on similar tasks and selecting disciples from the Taiyi Sect to carry them out.
The Bamboo Rhyme Chart that could hold living beings was temporarily lent to Yang Xueyi by Meng Zhang, allowing her to transport Taiyi Sect disciples to and from the Heavenly Palace.
Simultaneously, the Taiyi Sect would also issue tasks and offer high rewards to encourage disciples to actively participate in such missions.
As for the inevitable losses during the mission, Meng Zhang and Yang Xueyi had anticipated and accepted them.
The next step was to provide outstanding low-level cultivators from various cultivation forces in the vast ocean of the alliance with opportunities to participate in these missions.
When the time was ripe, Meng Zhang would incorporate all the local cultivation forces from the small alliance he formed into this task system.
Pure jade inspiration obtained through task rewards could be used for the operation of the Taiyi Sect in the Heavenly Palace or to purchase items needed by Primordial Spirit stage cultivators in the sect.
The merit points accumulated from the Heavenly Palace could be exchanged for various required items when reaching a certain amount.
Meng Zhang explained everything clearly, leaving Yang Xueyi in full charge of everything related to the Taiyi Sect in the Heavenly Palace.
Xu Mengying, on the other hand, stayed in the Heavenly Palace for a long time, and Yang Xueyi now had a reliable companion.
Shortly after Meng Zhang returned to the sect's gate, his senior disciple Niu Dawei finally succeeded in entering the Primordial Spirit stage.
After consolidating his Cultivation Base, Niu Dawei took the initiative to pay his respects to his master, Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang looked at Niu Dawei standing before him, feeling very excited.
With Niu Dawei entering the Primordial Spirit stage, Taiyi Sect gained a powerful combat force, and Meng Zhang now had someone to carry on his legacy.
As a newly rising Primordial Spirit sect, Taiyi Sect had relied solely on Meng Zhang, a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, in the past.
Even someone as extraordinary as Meng Zhang found it extremely tough to support the sect on his own.
Jin Li True Monarch and the others were always outsiders and not Taiyi Sect's direct line. Meng Zhang couldn't completely trust them, let alone entrust them with significant matters concerning the sect's future.
Fortunately, Yang Xueyi had successfully entered the Primordial Spirit stage first, and now Niu Dawei also achieved Primordial Spirit.Meng Zhang finally had a reliable assistant, no longer needing to support everything alone.
Niu Dawei was someone Meng Zhang had watched grow up since he was young, and he had devoted much effort to nurturing him as his successor.
Niu Dawei didn't disappoint Meng Zhang and consistently impressed him with his steady progress and solid foundation in cultivation. Moreover, he displayed exceptional abilities in handling sect affairs, easing Meng Zhang's burdens.
With this Sect Master's senior disciple frequently acting on behalf of the Sect Master and managing various sect matters, Meng Zhang was able to free himself from the complexities of administrative tasks and devote more time and energy to his own cultivation.
Niu Dawei took full responsibility for all aspects of the sect and did not allow the heavy sect affairs to distract him; instead, he saw them as opportunities for growth.
His character was already excellent, and after years of tempering, he had cultivated a unique temperament.
If Meng Zhang were to pass on the Sect Master position to him at this moment, he would be fully qualified to take on the role and lead the sect to greater heights.
Meng Zhang's reluctance to relinquish the Sect Master's position wasn't due to attachment to power. If possible, he would have loved to cast aside all sect affairs and focus solely on his cultivation, channeling all his thoughts and energy into his own path.
Firstly, even though Taiyi Sect was now a Primordial Spirit sect and thriving, it still faced threats from enemies like Holy Land Sect Viewing Heaven Pavilion from afar and potential challenges from powerful external forces like the Grand Unity Merchant Alliance nearby. Meng Zhang couldn't afford to be absent from the helm of the sect.
Secondly, Meng Zhang's Diviner's Spiritual Awareness subtly reminded him that continuing to hold the position of Taiyi Sect's Sect Master was highly beneficial, not only for him but for the entire sect.
As the Sect Master who had led Taiyi Sect's rise to prominence, Meng Zhang held unrivaled authority within the sect, and no one dared to challenge him, including Niu Dawei and others qualified for the Sect Master position.
Meng Zhang didn't waste time with unnecessary words and simply praised Niu Dawei before engaging in an exchange of cultivation experiences and insights.
At this point, they were not just master and disciple but also fellow cultivators who honed each other's skills.
This exchange of insights lasted for more than a month, and when it concluded, both of them felt like they still wanted more.
As a senior Primordial Spirit cultivator and a pioneer on the path of cultivation, Meng Zhang had a wealth of experience for Niu Dawei to draw from and learn.And Niu Dawei, as a junior, also had his own insights and many valuable and ingenious ideas.
If it weren't for pressing matters, Meng Zhang would have been willing to continue exchanging insights for some more time.
After all, they were master and disciple, and they would have plenty of opportunities for mutual exchanges in the future.
Meng Zhang presented the spoils of war from the last battle, the pair of Fourth Rank magic tools, the Wind Thunder Hammer, to Niu Dawei as a gift to congratulate him on breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage.
Next, after familiarizing himself with various techniques of the Primordial Spirit stage, Taiyi Sect was about to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate Niu Dawei's breakthrough and to showcase their strength to outsiders.
Niu Dawei's situation was different from Yang Xueyi's. Yang Xueyi could remain low-key and act as Taiyi Sect's secret weapon when the need arose.
As the Sect Master's senior disciple, Niu Dawei would inevitably have dealings with other cultivation forces in the future. It would be impossible to keep his advancement to the Primordial Spirit stage a secret, so they might as well show it openly.
Under Meng Zhang's personal arrangements, invitations were soon sent out in all directions, inviting various local cultivation forces in Jiuqu Province, including all members of the small alliance formed by Meng Zhang, and even the Governor's Mansion in Jiuqu City.
The three big merchant families led by the Grand Unity Merchant Alliance were ignored and not given invitations.
However, the smaller Shang Family members from the Dali Dynasty, including the Dali Dynasty's Gu Yue Family, all received invitations from Taiyi Sect.
On the day of the Primordial Spirit ceremony, the entire Hundred Grass Slope at Taiyi Sect's mountain gate was adorned with colorful decorations and filled with an atmosphere of joy.
Not to mention the Hanhai Dao Alliance under Taiyi Sect's control, all cultivation forces attended the ceremony without exception. They were led by the most prominent figures from each faction, bearing generous gifts and showing utmost respect as they came to offer their congratulations.
Meng Zhang's old friends, Jin Li True Monarch, He Luo True Monarch, and Book Mountain True Monarch, had already arrived early at Hundred Grass Slope.
Jin Li True Monarch was a guest of Taiyi Sect, and He Luo True Monarch was now Taiyi Sect's vassal.
Both of them, in the capacity of hosts, helped Meng Zhang receive guests from all directions.
The members of the small alliance formed by Meng Zhang showed great respect to him and Taiyi Sect. Each Primordial Spirit True Monarch came forward personally to offer their congratulations.
