Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 400

Jue Ying's attitude was very serious as she slowly narrated some past events of the Fifth Rank great power to Meng Zhang. No one knew when this Fifth Rank great power appeared in the Deadly Sea of Sand. Of course, back then, the Deadly Sea of Sand wasn't called by that name, nor was it a forbidden area for living beings, and it certainly didn't have the barren landscape it has now.

After the arrival of the Fifth Rank great power, it extracted a large number of spirit veins from the surrounding area, causing devastating destruction to the environment.

The neighboring Endless Sea of Sand became even more desolate, with harsher living conditions. The Purple Gold Sect, which once ruled over the Endless Sea of Sand, seemed to have fallen due to this great power, losing its Primordial Spirit True Monarch and several Gold Core Daoist Masters.

The Fire Cloud Sect and the Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch invaded the Endless Sea of Sand, only to be expelled by the Flying Swan Sect. The Middle-Earth Continent cultivation clans, like the Qi Family, also had several Primordial Spirit True Monarchs. One of their branches, because of a grave mistake, was sent near the Jiuqu League.

This branch of the Qi Family later moved into the Endless Sea of Sand and became the renowned Northern Desert Qi Family.

Hearing this, Meng Zhang couldn't help but be amazed.

However, one was sent there, and the other sought refuge. After the situation in the Endless Sea of Sand's Cultivation World stabilized, sand monster disasters would occasionally erupt.

According to Jue Ying, the so-called sand monster disaster was entirely caused by the hand of that Fifth Rank great power. As for why the great power created the sand monster disaster in the Endless Sea of Sand, the reason remains unknown.

Meng Zhang had speculated about the cause of the sand monster disaster before. Especially since he had witnessed the nests of sand monsters and saw heavy traces of human intervention.

Now, confirmation from Jue Ying revealed that the sand monster disaster was indeed caused by the great power. This left Meng Zhang feeling somewhat despondent.

The sand monster disaster had been a nightmare for the Human Clan in the Endless Sea of Sand for hundreds of years. Countless cultivators lost their lives to sand monsters, and the creatures had destroyed numerous oases and slaughtered countless living beings.

Even the Taiyi Sect, which was rebuilt once, fell due to the sand monster disaster. Meng Zhang's own small cultivation clan, the Meng Family, was also destroyed by sand monsters. He had personally experienced many battles with them.

A great power was truly great, able to create such a species as the sand monsters. Meng Zhang's heart was filled with hatred for this great power.

He regretted his currently low Cultivation Base; otherwise, he would have rushed into the Deadly Sea of Sand and confronted this great power.

Luo Ye had mentioned the opportunity to form the core that she would point out to Meng Zhang. It was related to the sand monsters.

Luo Ye had spent a considerable amount of time in the Endless Sea of Sand and was very familiar with the situation there. She anticipated that when Meng Zhang reached the Foundation Building stage and was ready to form the core, he would face the problem of needing a Third Rank spirit vein.

With the conditions of Taiyi Sect and the situation in the Endless Sea of Sand, it was impossible for Meng Zhang to obtain a chance to use a Third Rank spirit vein.

Furthermore, finding another Third Rank spirit vein outside of the Endless Sea of Sand would also be extremely difficult.

Without a Third Rank spirit vein, he would need to find another solution, an alternative method. The alternative method that Luo Ye pointed out was to search for Spirit Cores.

Spirit Cores were a very rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object containing extremely pure and special spiritual energy.

Meng Zhang only needed a small piece of Spirit Core, and he wouldn't need a Third Rank spirit vein. Instead, he could directly absorb the spiritual energy within the Spirit Core to assist him in forming the core.

Normally, Spirit Cores were hard to come by. Obtaining them was even more difficult than borrowing a Third Rank spirit vein.

However, Luo Ye had shown Meng Zhang a clear path. There were Spirit Cores in the Deadly Sea of Sand.

No one knew exactly how that Fifth Rank great power created sand monsters or what specific process was involved. However, during that process, it was clear that a considerable amount of Spirit Cores was consumed. In certain special locations within the Deadly Sea of Sand, the Spirit Cores were stimulated in a unique way, giving birth to seeds that grew into sand monster nests.

Once these seeds matured, they would cross the Deadly Sea of Sand and enter the Endless Sea of Sand, seeking hidden places to settle.

After a long period of growth, these seeds would become complete sand monster nests, constantly producing various grades of sand monsters.

Luo Ye somehow acquired information about some of these special locations. As long as Meng Zhang went to these specific places, he might obtain Spirit Cores.

Hearing that he needed to go to the Deadly Sea of Sand, Meng Zhang showed a wry smile as he realized that he would have to seize the Spirit Cores right under the eyes of that Fifth Rank great power.

No wonder the Cultivators of the Endless Sea of Sand considered the Deadly Sea of Sand a forbidden area, and even Gold Core Daoist Masters didn't dare to enter.

Seeing Meng Zhang's expression, Jue Ying understood his concerns. She quickly explained that it was impossible for her and Meng Zhang's relationship to let him go and court death.

The Deadly Sea of Sand seemed extremely dangerous, but as long as one grasped the tricks, it was possible to enter and leave safely.

Firstly, the Fifth Rank great power was not in a good state and was often restrained by the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, making it difficult for them to personally take action.

The Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Endless Sea of Sand didn't dare to enter because they were too conspicuous targets. The Fifth Rank great power would prioritize dealing with them.

However, if Foundation Building stage cultivators entered the Deadly Sea of Sand, even if the Fifth Rank great power noticed, they would probably not bother with them.

It was like a mouse entering a tiger's territorythe tiger would generally ignore it. But if a wolf intruded, the tiger wouldn't sit idly by.

Of course, this didn't mean that Foundation Building stage cultivators were completely safe when entering the Deadly Sea of Sand. In fact, they faced great dangers all the time.

The environment in the Deadly Sea of Sand was harsh, and even cultivators found it difficult to survive there. Many natural traps could even kill Foundation Building stage cultivators.

The most frightening part was the countless sand monsters roaming around. Once they detected human cultivators, they would swarm over and never relent.

Moreover, there were occasionally Ghost Path cultivators and even demonic cultivators lurking in the Deadly Sea of Sand.

These demonic cultivators and evildoers who were unwelcome in the Cultivation World entered that area for various reasons. If they found cultivators like Meng Zhang from the righteous path, they would never let them go easily.

Ghost Path cultivators and demonic cultivators were treacherous and possessed many unpredictable and sinister methods. Except for the talented cultivators from major sects and clans, ordinary cultivators from the righteous path were often no match for them.
