Chapter 940: Meeting Gift
If it were up to Meng Zhang's original intention, he wouldn't want to have anything to do with Grandma Qiansi. However, Xu Mengying had previously informed Meng Zhang that she had recommended him to Grandma Qiansi.
Under these circumstances, if Meng Zhang doesn't come to pay his respects to Grandma Qiansi, it would seem very impolite. Facing the great power of Return to Emptiness, no matter how cautious and respectful one is, it's never excessive.
Upon careful consideration, Meng Zhang realized that despite Grandma Qiansi's fierce reputation, she is not an unreasonable person. Among the cultivators who had served her before, her reputation was relatively good.
If Taiyi Sect wants to establish a foothold in the Heavenly Palace, they need to expand their connections. Taking on these low-level tasks was Meng Zhang's plan from the beginning. Instead of cooperating with Return to Emptiness great power, whose intentions are unclear, it's better to meet Grandma Qiansi first and see if there's a basis for cooperation.
Led by Xu Mengying, Meng Zhang and Yang Xueyi arrived before Grandma Qiansi. Contrary to expectations, Grandma Qiansi showed no arrogance or aloofness. She humbled herself and had a friendly conversation with Meng Zhang and the others.
Having roamed the Cultivation World for many years, Grandma Qiansi had extensive knowledge and rich experiences. She had even interacted with some prominent figures from Taiyi Sect during its heyday.
A True Monarch in their Primordial Spirit stage typically lived between 1,800 to 2,800 years, with an absolute maximum of 3,000 years. However, great powers in the Return to Emptiness stage usually lived for at least 5,000 to 6,000 years, and living to 7,000 or 8,000 years was not uncommon.
Considering Grandma Qiansi's age and her past interactions with Taiyi Sect during its prime, her knowledge wasn't mere hearsay.
Back then, when Taiyi Sect was flourishing and poised to achieve great things, it was annihilated by Viewing Heaven Pavilion. Whenever she spoke about this matter, Grandma Qiansi couldn't help but feel sorrowful.
