Chapter 1035 Actively Engaging

After returning to Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang's life gradually settled back into its daily routine.

His primary focus during this period of cultivation was to strengthen and refine his Primordial Spirit.

Furthermore, he periodically dedicated time to oversee sect matters.

In the event of significant events within the sect, he would convene with the high-ranking members to address them.

This time, after his journey to the native land of the Dali Dynasty, Meng Zhang gained a comprehensive understanding of the Dynasty's strength.

Setting aside the Dali Dynasty's foundation within the Netherworld, the mere power they exhibited in the Imperial City could induce an irresistible sensation.

Not to mention the abundance of Primordial Spirits and high-level cultivators roaming the streets. At the very least, in the realm of Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, the Dali Dynasty had an abundance.

Despite its considerable strength, the Dali Dynasty was suppressed by the Purple Yang Holy Sect. The strength of those Holy Land Sects was genuinely terrifying to contemplate.

Upon returning to Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang enjoyed a considerable period without major disturbances, allowing him to enjoy a period of relative tranquility.

Meng Zhang consulted with the high-ranking members of the sect and compiled various valuable texts unrelated to Taiyi Sect's core inheritance.

These texts included cultivation manuals from major Primordial Spirit sects like the Purple Gold Sect and Chongxuan Sect. If released, they would undoubtedly create significant waves within the Cultivation World, even inciting countless cultivators to vie for them.

Copies of these texts were made, and Meng Zhang personally carried them to the Heavenly Palace.

Although the Sea Spirit Sect had been severely suppressed by the Guarding Sea Temple, it still maintained a foothold within the Heavenly Palace.

Meng Zhang first visited Taiyi Sect's residence there, the small courtyard passed down from the founding ancestor. He met with Niu Dawei.

Niu Dawei was delighted to see Meng Zhang and had something to report to him.

It turned out that Grandma Qiansi, along with two other Return to Emptiness great powers, had set their sights on a small world within the void.

While the power level of this small world wasn't high, it could accommodate at most Gold Core level cultivators. However, the small world possessed a profound background, and its indigenous inhabitants had considerable strength.

The three Return to Emptiness great powers had decided to collaborate to capture this small world.

To achieve this goal, they needed to dispatch a large number of low-level cultivators, just as they had done before, to infiltrate and coordinate within this small world.

Among the indigenous inhabitants of this small world were a substantial number of powerhouses, along with well-organized superhuman armies.

Even if Taiyi Sect joined forces with three to five other Primordial Spirit sects, it would be difficult to send out enough low-level cultivators with sufficient strength to conquer this small world.

Therefore, including Grandma Qiansi, the three Return to Emptiness great powers decided to offer substantial rewards and recruit a large number of low-level cultivators to participate in this battle.

After being misled by the Nine Profound Pavilions in their previous endeavor, Niu Dawei approached this large-scale operation with ample caution.

He conducted an in-depth investigation into the matter.

Due to the overwhelming strength of the indigenous forces within this small world, even if multiple sects joined together and deployed numerous low-level cultivators, victory within a short time frame was unlikely.

There was a high possibility that this expedition could evolve into a protracted and enduring war.

If Taiyi Sect participated, a significant portion of its low-level cultivators would be tied down for an extended period, not to mention the potential casualties. Additionally, providing logistical support would be a substantial burden.

Inside the small world, the entire heaven and earth would repel invading forces.

Once cultivators infiltrated the small world, they would be unable to recover their true qi through meditation and breathing exercises, absorbing the world's spiritual energy.

Even the spiritual energy gathered by a spirit stone array couldn't be directly absorbed by cultivators.

When cultivators depleted their true qi, they would need to consume Qi-replenishing pills or spirit grains.

Since most pills contained some level of pill toxins, making prolonged consumption inadvisable, cultivators primarily relied on consuming spirit foods.Upon returning to the Heavenly Palace, Niu Dawei found himself somewhat hesitant in deciding whether or not to participate in the upcoming operation. Seeking Meng Zhang's opinion, he presented the situation to him.

After carefully examining the details and specifically inquiring about the rewards for participating in the operation, Meng Zhang made the decision on Niu Dawei's behalf. He chose to have Taiyi Sect join the effort.

Meng Zhang felt that there were many aspects in which Taiyi Sect was lacking after their recent journey to the Dali Dynasty's homeland. One crucial ability that he desired for Taiyi Sect, and one that was extremely important, was the capability to establish long-distance teleportation formations.

Major sects within the Middle-Earth Continent held these long-distance teleportation formation secrets in high regard, closely guarding and restricting access to them.

The Dali Dynasty, on the other hand, obtained the knowledge and materials for constructing long-distance teleportation formations through their accumulated achievements in the Heavenly Palace.

Furthermore, the materials required to build such formations were both precious and rare. Even the Dali Dynasty often faced shortages and had to exchange these materials for achievements in the Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Palace was an all-encompassing realm, seemingly capable of providing everything the Cultivation World required, from precious knowledge to scarce materials.

Achievement points were the currency within the Heavenly Palace, effectively exchangeable for almost anything the palace had to offer.

Thanks to the legacy of Taiyi Sect's predecessors, the current generation of Taiyi Sect had secured an opportunity to establish themselves within the Heavenly Palace.

Taiyi Sect needed to seize this chance and utilize the Heavenly Palace's resources to acquire all they needed.

To exchange everything they required from the Heavenly Palace, a significant number of achievement points were needed.

Participating in this operation would undoubtedly come at a considerable cost for Taiyi Sect, with the potential loss of many cultivators.

Speaking bluntly, cultivators within a sect were often expected to sacrifice themselves for the greater good of the sect.

If a sect were unwilling to sacrifice its cultivators at critical moments, how could it weather the trials and tribulations of the Cultivation World?

Participating in the assault on the small world also served as a means to test and train the sect's cultivators, identifying the most exceptional talents among them.

Given the extensive number of cultivators being mobilized, beyond Taiyi Sect's direct line, Meng Zhang planned to involve all of the cultivators within the entire Hanhai Dao Alliance. He intended to select capable individuals from this pool to participate in the operation.

Meng Zhang provided Niu Dawei with a general direction while entrusting him with the specific execution of the plan.

After lengthy discussions with Niu Dawei at Taiyi Sect's Heavenly Palace residence, a rough plan was formulated.

Following this, Meng Zhang, accompanied by Niu Dawei, visited the Sea Spirit Sect's Heavenly Palace residence.

The Sea Spirit Sect's presence in the Heavenly Palace was substantial, comprising independent shops and residential quarters for cultivators.

Within the Sea Spirit Sect's residence, Meng Zhang encountered an acquaintance, You Mingde.

You Mingde warmly received Meng Zhang and led him into the heart of the Sea Spirit Sect's residence.

You Mingde had been instructed by Lu TianshuTrue Monarch to oversee the transaction between him and Meng Zhang, involving the exchange of respective sect texts.
