Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 198: Officially Crossing the Threshold

After Liu Fengbo spewed out a mouthful of natal vitality, his whole body immediately became weak. Meng Zhang seized the opportunity and used the killing move of the Lifeless Killing Sword, stabbing him several times. Liu Fengbo was unable to dodge and ended up with two more wounds on his body.

The venomous teeth of the flying sword were made from the fangs of a poisonous python. During the refining process, many poisonous flowers and herbs were added, greatly increasing its toxicity. Shortly after being hit, the poison immediately spread throughout Liu Fengbo's body, attacking his heart and lungs.

Normally, he would have had enough time to slowly expel the toxins, but in a life-and-death battle, he did not have that luxury. He could only barely suppress the spread of the poison, greatly affecting his strength.

During the fierce battle, Liu Fengbo tried several times to escape. However, once Meng Zhang got close, he tightly entangled him, making it impossible for him to escape and forcing him to fight in place. After a fierce battle, Meng Zhang finally killed Liu Fengbo on the spot.

Although he inevitably suffered some injuries, the results of the battle were still good. Meng Zhang had only been in the Foundation Building stage for a few years, but he had already killed several Foundation Building cultivators in a row. This kind of record was rare.

Meng Zhang waved his hand and took Liu Fengbo's storage bag, which did not contain anything too valuable. There were some spirit stones, commonly used pills, talismans, and about ten cold poison yin thunders.

The famous cold poison yin thunder was very precious to Refining Qi stage cultivators. Meng Zhang had used it to kill a seriously injured Foundation Building elder of Twin Success Valley in the past. After reaching the Foundation Building stage, he did not think much of the power of the cold poison yin thunder. It was just the power of a normal Foundation Building stage cultivator's attack, and it was not very useful to him. However, he could give it to the Refining Qi stage disciples of his sect for self-defense.

For Liu Family Foundation Building cultivators, the cold poison yin thunder was also not easy to refine. It would not be easily given to anyone who was not a highly regarded junior of the family. Liu Fengbo had not been in the Foundation Building stage for long, and it was unclear where he had obtained so many cold poison yin thunders.

In fact, what Meng Zhang was really interested in was the ancestral technique of the Liu Family. Cultivators with Liu Family bloodline who practiced the ancestral technique could reach the Foundation Building stage in the ice cave of the Liu Family's treasure trove without the need for auxiliary items such as Foundation Building Pills.

It was said that the Liu Family technique had a major flaw after reaching the Foundation Building stage. However, from Meng Zhang's several encounters with Liu Family Foundation Building cultivators, the flaw was not obvious. If possible, Meng Zhang would like to get his hands on the Liu Family ancestral technique and study it carefully.

After entering the Foundation Building stage, a cultivator's cultivation base and lifespan greatly increased. They could not be confined to their own practiced techniques and needed to broaden their knowledge, learn from others, and absorb the strengths of various schools to lay the foundation for advancing to the Gold Core stage.

Although Meng Zhang had only been in the Foundation Building stage for a few years, he was confident in his cultivation and believed that advancing to the Gold Core stage was only a matter of time.

After dealing with the battlefield, Meng Zhang recalled his great contributor, Zhui Dian (Chasing Lightning), and returned to Date Spice Oasis. When Shi Weida heard the news of Liu Fengbo's death from Meng Zhang, he breathed a sigh of relief and also became more respectful of Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang's combat power did not seem like that of someone who had only been in the Foundation Building stage for a few years. It seemed that he must have had a high-level mentor behind him. From then on, Shi Weida's attitude towards Meng Zhang and the disciples of Taiyi Sect became much better.

A few days later, the Second Rank flying boat of Taiyi Sect arrived as scheduled. Meng Zhang's eldest disciple Niu Dawei and his family, including several dozen relatives, reluctantly boarded the flying boat.

After leaving this time, Meng Zhang would not return here for a long time. After handing over to the Taiyi Sect disciples stationed here and loading the cargo onto the flying boat, he returned to Taiyi Sect. The airspace around the four major sects and Singing Sand City was relatively peaceful, thanks to the efforts of the five major forces. Loose cultivators from outside did not dare to cause trouble here.The Second Rank flying boat returned safely to the Taiyi Sect mountain gate without incident. After the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate was moved to Fuzhao Valley, the area became quite large. Not only did Taiyi Sect cultivators live here, but most of their mortal relatives also lived on the outskirts of the valley. After settling everything, Meng Zhang brought Niu Dawei to the Sect Master's hall and carefully measured his spiritual root aptitude with a measuring spirit plate. As Meng Zhang expected, Niu Dawei's spiritual root aptitude was extraordinary. It was a middle-grade spiritual root, and it was in the upper range of middle-grade spiritual roots.

Previously, Taiyi Sect only had two upper-range middle-grade spiritual roots. One was Wen Qiansun, who awakened his spiritual root when he was over thirty years old. Because of his age, many people in the sect did not think highly of him. Later, his cultivation progress was good, and he showed outstanding talent in the formation path, which caught Meng Zhang's attention and he was given special attention.

The other was Yang Xueyi, who came from a cultivation family and joined Taiyi Sect after her family was exterminated. Yang Xueyi not only had excellent cultivation aptitude, but also had high talent in making talismans and cooking with spiritual energy. She was highly valued in the sect and was regarded as the star of tomorrow.

Now, Taiyi Sect had one more Niu Dawei, and it seemed that Taiyi Sect was showing signs of revival. As long as these disciples were given enough time to grow, Meng Zhang believed that the future of Taiyi Sect would not be limited to the edge of the Cultivation World.

After measuring his spiritual root, Meng Zhang carefully measured Niu Dawei's physique. Niu Dawei's physique was quite special. It was not a common five-element attribute, but a wind attribute and a thunder attribute.

If it were the previous Taiyi Sect, they might not have had a suitable technique for cultivating special attributes. However, after serving as Sect Master for many years, Taiyi Sect had accumulated some knowledge in this area. After some selection, Meng Zhang chose the "Wind and Thunder True Solution" for Niu Dawei to practice.

For Taiyi Sect, having Meng Zhang as the Sect Master and accepting Niu Dawei as the first disciple was a big event. Upon the suggestion of General Affairs Elder Tian Zhen, Meng Zhang decided to hold a grand initiation ceremony to formally accept Niu Dawei into the sect. They chose an auspicious day, and Tian Zhen made all the necessary arrangements.

Although Meng Zhang did not invite outsiders due to his own intentions, Taiyi Sect disciples who received the news tried to return to the sect to attend the ceremony. In recent years, Taiyi Sect had expanded greatly and recruited many disciples. There were also many mortals who awakened their spiritual roots and joined Taiyi Sect.

Taking advantage of this initiation ceremony, most Taiyi Sect disciples gathered together. Standing above the sect's main hall and looking down at the crowded crowd below, Meng Zhang was filled with emotion. When he first took over the sect, there were only two or three disciples. But after more than twenty years, the sect had more than a hundred disciples, and their cultivation base and overall quality far exceeded that of the past. From a Refining Qi sect, Taiyi Sect had barely qualified to participate in the Cultivation World game as a Foundation Building sect.
