Chapter 957: Xu Daohai
Meng Zhang and Niu Dawei returned to the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate, Hundred Grass Slope, while Yang Xueyi naturally headed to Heavenly Palace. During this period, Xu Mengying had been staying at the Yellow Lotus Sacred Mountain, and many matters in Heavenly Palace had fallen onto Yang Xueyi's shoulders. This joint search for resource points with Meng Zhang and others delayed her, accumulating a considerable amount of work that urgently needed her attention upon her return to Heavenly Palace.
After Meng Zhang and Niu Dawei returned to the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate, it wasn't long before Meng Zhang set out again and headed to the Yellow Lotus Sacred Mountain. Not long ago, a junior disciple of Yellow Lotus Sect's Cult Master Xu Mengying, named Xu Daohai, successfully broke through to the Primordial Spirit stage. With Xu Daohai's achievement as a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, the strength of Yellow Lotus Sect greatly increased, and with a capable successor, Xu Mengying no longer had to shoulder the entire sect's burden alone.
Seizing this opportunity of Xu Daohai's attainment of Primordial Spirit, Xu Mengying held a grand Primordial Spirit celebration in the Yellow Lotus Sacred Mountain. After so many years of decline, Xu Mengying had endured many frustrations. If it weren't for her chance to enter Heavenly Palace, under the suppression from the Grand Commerce Alliance and other external big merchant families, Yellow Lotus Sect might have collapsed.
Now that Xu Daohai had achieved Primordial Spirit, Xu Mengying not only had significantly reduced pressure but also felt a sense of pride and relief. To celebrate Xu Daohai's Primordial Spirit attainment, Xu Mengying organized a grand ceremony in the Yellow Lotus Sacred Mountain. As an ally, Taiyi Sect naturally had to send representatives to participate, with the Sect Master himself attending.
Over the years, the Yellow Lotus Sacred Mountain had served as the headquarters of the alliance formed by Meng Zhang, and many cultivators from the alliance frequently visited, making it a lively place. As the date of the Primordial Spirit ceremony approached, the area around the Yellow Lotus Sacred Mountain became even more bustling, with people coming and going like clouds.
Due to the time spent on dealing with resource points, Meng Zhang arrived relatively late. When he entered the Yellow Lotus Sacred Mountain, the representatives of other cultivation forces in the alliance had already arrived. Xu Mengying personally led Meng Zhang to the sect's main hall.
A large group of long-lost Primordial Spirit True Monarchs warmly welcomed Meng Zhang at the entrance of the main hall. Although Meng Zhang was not very involved in the affairs, he was still the leader of this alliance. As a member of the alliance, everyone had to maintain enough respect for him on the surface. Moreover, with Meng Zhang's current strength and reputation, he was worthy of such respect.
Changchun True Monarch, True Monarch Clever Machine, Huo Lie True Monarch... Meng Zhang greeted each old friend with a smile, exchanging pleasantries with them.The crowd ushered Meng Zhang into the sect's main hall, and a group of Primordial Spirit True Monarchs warmly engaged in conversation. Those cultivators qualified to enter the hall at this time were all Primordial Spirit True Monarchs from local cultivation forces. Through the establishment of a small alliance, Meng Zhang had already organized them to some extent over the years.
In this period, the small alliance formed by Meng Zhang had gradually started to play a role. They established a relatively closed market within, facilitating exchanges and sharing of resources among its members. Taiyi Sect, in particular, heavily purchased various products from other cultivation forces and secretly sold them to the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle, creating new markets.
