Chapter 964: Sea Spirit Sect |
Once Meng Zhang realized that Lu Tianshu True Monarch might be a Primordial Spirit late stage "great cultivator," his attitude became more respectful. Xu Mengying, being a clever individual herself, also showed enough respect towards Lu Tianshu True Monarch.
After some casual chatting, when both parties became somewhat acquainted, Grandma Qiansi interjected and brought up the main matter. She explained that Lu Tianshu True Monarch had discovered an area in the extraterritorial void with abundant pure jade inspiration, but he couldn't collect it all by himself. Due to certain reasons, the Sea Spirit Sect was currently unable to provide support to him.
Worrying about potential complications and seeking swift action, Lu Tianshu True Monarch came to Grandma Qiansi for help in gathering the pure jade inspiration from that area.
Having a close relationship with the Sea Spirit Sect and being indebted to Lu Tianshu True Monarch's mentor, Grandma Qiansi naturally wouldn't ignore his request for assistance. However, she also wouldn't help for free; some benefits would be expected in return.
As a Return to Emptiness great power, even though Grandma Qiansi might not lack pure jade inspiration, she wouldn't turn away any advantages that came her way. In Heavenly Palace, pure jade inspiration was a universal currency, and no one would reject having more wealth.
Meng Zhang had previously known that pure jade inspiration originated from the vast void, and one could only obtain it by venturing into the extraterritorial void. After getting to know Grandma Qiansi, she generously shared some common knowledge that proved valuable to Meng Zhang. These insights not only expanded his knowledge but also guided him in future actions.
Pure jade inspiration was a convergence of spiritual essence in the universe and possessed a unique spirituality. In the highest echelons of Grand Dust World, within the Nine Heavens and Heavenly Palace, the great powers had special means to accelerate the birth of pure jade inspiration. These rare pure jade inspirations belonged to Heavenly Palace and were beyond the reach of even the Holy Land Sects.
Apart from this, there were many places in the void outside Grand Dust World where pure jade inspiration emerged. Cultivation forces in Grand Dust World would often send teams of Primordial Spirit True Monarchs to search for them. Sometimes, even Return to Emptiness great powers would join these teams.In the void where pure jade inspiration is born, the environment is often harsh and dangerous. Moreover, the vast void contains not only Grand Dust World but also other large worlds where cultivators from different realms search for pure jade inspiration as well. As a result, conflicts and even large-scale battles between teams searching for pure jade inspiration are not uncommon.
Grand Dust World is in a unique situation with many enemies in the void. The teams of cultivators from Grand Dust World that venture into the void to search for pure jade inspiration face even greater dangers. It is not uncommon for Primordial Spirit True Monarchs to fall, and entire teams to be wiped out in the process.
Both Lu Tianshu and his sect trust Grandma Qiansi due to their special relationship with her. Otherwise, seeking assistance from others might lead to a situation where they are betrayed or ambushed for their treasures. Such acts are not exclusive to lower-level cultivators. Even respected senior cultivators can set aside their principles if the benefits are significant enough.
Grandma Qiansi called upon Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying because Lu Tianshu found the location of the pure jade inspiration to be extremely unique. With her status and cultivation base, she couldn't openly approach the area. At best, she could provide support from the periphery, helping them defend against enemies of much higher cultivation levels.
To successfully collect the pure jade inspiration, Lu Tianshu needs to enter the location personally. However, even with his Primordial Spirit late stage cultivation, he cannot accomplish it alone. He requires more help to significantly increase the efficiency of gathering the pure jade inspiration.
Considering their recent experience of being deceived by Nine Profound Pavilions, Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying hesitated. They were cautious and didn't want to rashly agree to Grandma Qiansi's request. Understanding their concerns, Grandma Qiansi shared the general situation with them.As for the specific details, they naturally had to be kept strictly confidential. Grandma Qiansi didn't force them and agreed to let them go back and think it over. If they agreed to participate in this operation, it would be best to give their response within three days. If they were unwilling to join, that was also fine. People have their own aspirations, and Grandma Qiansi wouldn't blame them. After three days, Grandma Qiansi and Lu Tianshu True Monarch would find someone else for the task. Grandma Qiansi's open and generous attitude made Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying feel somewhat guilty. However, as mature and steady lords of their sects, they didn't give an immediate answer, saying they needed to go back and consider it.
After leaving Grandma Qiansi's residence, both of them gathered information about the Sea Spirit Sect through their respective channels. To their surprise, the Sea Spirit Sect was not an ordinary Primordial Spirit sect but one of the top sects in the Cultivation World. It ranked just below the Holy Land Sects in terms of strength and prestige.
The Sea Spirit Sect was located to the south of the Middle-Earth Continent, far away from it, in the South Sea, where it established itself. In the South Sea, the Sea Spirit Sect held a high status and was the leader of the Human Clan's cultivation forces in the region. Previously, the Sea Clan dominated the South Sea, but after years of fierce battles with the Sea Clan, the Sea Spirit Sect drove them deep into the South Sea, expanding the vast living space for the Human Clan in the region.
The True Dragon clan deep in the South Sea had attacked the Sea Spirit Sect multiple times but failed to defeat them, making it impossible for the True Dragon clan to do anything to the Sea Spirit Sect. In the Cultivation World, the Sea Spirit Sect was acknowledged as a sect eligible to challenge the Holy Land Sects and even had the potential to replace weaker Holy Land Sects.
However, due to this, the Sea Spirit Sect was also viewed with hostility by the Holy Land Sects and faced various forms of suppression, whether overt or covert. In recent years, as the Sea Spirit Sect continued to grow and gained the power to challenge the Holy Land Sects, some Holy Land Sects intensified their suppression, almost doing it openly.
Whether the Sea Spirit Sect could withstand the pressure from the Holy Land Sects and seize more opportunities to advance further was a matter of concern to many people. At least up to now, the Sea Spirit Sect had not surrendered or failed under the pressure but remained lively and full of vitality.
Upon learning this information, Meng Zhang immediately became highly interested in the Sea Spirit Sect.
