Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 399: Startled Day Secret

The Jade Sword Sect is located upstream of the Jiuqu River, possessing a Fourth Rank spirit vein and having an extensive mountain gate area. This small town is just an inconspicuous town near the Jade Sword Sect, seemingly unremarkable. The Sword Cultivators have always dominated the Jade Sword Sect, which has remained secluded and had minimal interaction with the outside world. In terms of prosperity and liveliness, it can't compare to Great Wind City, let alone many other sects that are far superior to the Jade Sword Sect.

Not only does it connect with the Endless Sea of Sand, but it also reaches the great grasslands, thriving as a major trading city with the support of the Jiuqu League. Sects like the Fire Cloud Sect are relatively marginalized within the Jiuqu League.

Meng Zhang has long wanted to witness the bustling scene on both sides of the Jiuqu River. However, the mountain gate of the Jade Sword Sect is one of the rare quiet places in the core region of the Jiuqu League. The majority of the inhabitants in this town are ordinary people, with few cultivators passing through.

Upon arriving in the town, Jue Ying rented a mortal's small courtyard and brought Meng Zhang there. She closed the courtyard door and set up a simple restriction outside to isolate the place from the outside world. "Among the several Primordial Spirit True Monarchs of the Jiuqu League, the one from the Jade Sword Sect has been staying within the mountain gate for these recent years. That's why I brought you here, to make use of the Primordial Spirit True Monarch's domain," Jue Ying said, taking out a jade pendant identical to Meng Zhang's.

"Although there seem to be no strong figures in the Endless Sea of Sand, the entire region is under the scrutiny of several Primordial Spirit True Monarchs."

"The information I'm about to share with you involves a Fifth Rank great power. If we casually discuss matters related to this great power in the Endless Sea of Sand and its surrounding areas, we might be detected by that great power."

Hearing Jue Ying's words, Meng Zhang became somewhat nervous. According to the general classification in the Cultivation World, Primordial Spirit True Monarchs are only Fourth Rank cultivators. A Fifth Rank great power surpasses the Primordial Spirit True Monarch and enters the Return to Emptiness realm if they are a cultivator. Even in Taiyi Sect's heyday, with numerous Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, there seemed to be no experts in the Return to Emptiness realm.

Since Jue Ying only mentioned a Fifth Rank great power without specifying a cultivator in the Return to Emptiness realm, it is likely that this Fifth Rank great power is not a human cultivator. The Endless Sea of Sand has always been known for its remote and desolate nature, and it has never had any notable figures. Gold Core Daoist Masters could dominate and tyrannize there, unopposed.

However, Jue Ying claimed that the Endless Sea of Sand is not only observed by Primordial Spirit True Monarchs but also involves a Fifth Rank great power, which indeed shocked Meng Zhang.

After pausing for a moment, Jue Ying continued, "As for the specific details of this Fifth Rank existence, my master is not entirely sure. We only know that this existence is not a human cultivator, but whether it's a ghost, demon, monster, or something else remains unknown."

"It seems this existence is in a troubled state, trapped within the Deadly Sea of Sand."

"Several Primordial Spirit True Monarchs are eyeing him."

If it were a normal Fifth Rank existence in its prime, it could easily overwhelm Fourth Rank Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, who wouldn't dare provoke it lightly. The fact that Primordial Spirit True Monarchs are considering making a move indicates that something must be wrong with this Fifth Rank existence.

Meng Zhang understood Jue Ying's implications. Although these matters are far beyond his reach as a Foundation Building cultivator, even if he successfully forms the core, he wouldn't have the qualifications to get involved.

But due to his intense curiosity, Meng Zhang found Jue Ying's words highly intriguing, almost forgetting the main purpose of their conversation.

"For hundreds of years, these Primordial Spirit True Monarchs have been secretly influencing the situation in the Endless Sea of Sand. From the annihilation of Purple Gold Sect to the rise of the Flying Swan Sect, becoming the rulers of the Endless Sea of Sand. In between, the invasions of Fire Cloud Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect, and the appearance of the Northern Desert Qi Family. The changes in the Endless Sea of Sand over the centuries have all been influenced by these Primordial Spirit True Monarchs' hands."

"The recent actions of the Fire Cloud Sect are just a continuation of these manipulations. Regardless of the Flying Swan Sect, Northern Desert Qi Family, or Fire Cloud Sect, they are all helpless pawns in the hands of these Primordial Spirit True Monarchs."

Jue Ying's words made Meng Zhang feel uneasy. For hundreds of years, the winds of change in the Endless Sea of Sand were actually orchestrated by Primordial Spirit True Monarchs behind the scenes.

The Flying Swan Sect was considered the dominant force in the Endless Sea of Sand, an insurmountable mountain in the eyes of Taiyi Sect and other sects. However, they were merely pawns in the hands of Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.

Primordial Spirit True Monarchs were truly remarkable great powers, capable of manipulating events with ease, stirring up storms, and causing awe in people's hearts.

"Within the domain of the Primordial Spirit True Monarch, they can easily perceive everything that happens inside. However, the True Monarch of the Jade Sword Sect is usually aloof and indifferent, not caring about what we little insects say."

"With the isolation of the Primordial Spirit True Monarch's domain in the Jade Sword Sect, other experts, even a Fifth Rank great power, would find it difficult to sense what's happening inside."

"Of course, even in other places, if that Fifth Rank great power were to sense what we're discussing, being so high above us, they probably wouldn't bother with us little cultivators."

"However, my master has instructed us to be cautious and avoid casually mentioning matters related to that Fifth Rank great power in other locations."

"Such great powers often have unpredictable tempers, and nobody knows what they might do."

Meng Zhang fully agreed with Jue Ying's caution. Not all great powers would possess a noble temperament and overlook minor cultivators.

Meng Zhang had seen many children and even adults, having idle fun by flooding ant nests, burning ants with fire, and stepping on various insects.

In the eyes of such great powers, Meng Zhang, Jue Ying, and even Luo Ye Daoist Master were nothing more than bigger insects. If they took an interest, they could easily trample a few insects for amusement. Who would dare to stop them?

"Moreover, our actions this time will harm the interests of this great power. If we reveal our intentions beforehand, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Jue Ying stated that discussing matters related to the Fifth Rank great power in the Endless Sea of Sand and its surrounding areas might be detected by the great power.

Meng Zhang was deeply aware of such abilities. As a Diviner, he sometimes experienced insights when facing life-threatening situations. With the vast Divine Ability of a Fifth Rank great power, if it weren't for the protection of the Primordial Spirit True Monarch of the Jade Sword Sect blocking their sensing, Jue Ying would never casually discuss actions that could harm the great power's interests.
