Chapter 439: Cooperation
Gu Yue Huaidie had a feeling of helplessness mixed with laughter. After all the effort, they still needed to enter the Mirage Secret Realm first. Jin Li, the Daoist Master, provided detailed instructions on how to pass through the Mirage Secret Realm and ultimately enter that small world. In comparison, the method Gu Yue Huaidie had prepared to enter the Mirage Secret Realm seemed too crude and rough.
Due to the restrictions set by the Primordial Spirit True Monarch, the Mirage Secret Realm only opens approximately once every hundred years, and only small cultivators with a Refining Qi cultivation base can enter. Cultivators in the Foundation Building stage can enter the Mirage Desert but are absolutely unable to enter the Mirage Secret Realm. If a Gold Core cultivator approaches the Mirage Desert recklessly, they may be attacked by the power of the restrictions.
Originally, Gu Yue Huaidie's plan was to borrow a treasure from a senior member of the Jiuqu League, set up a formation, gather the power of multiple Gold Core Daoist Masters, mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and forcefully open a portal to the Mirage Secret Realm. Borrowing the senior's treasure would come at a great cost, and gathering enough Gold Core Daoist Masters was not easy. Furthermore, Gu Yue Huaidie couldn't guarantee the success of this method.
On the other hand, the method provided by Jin Li, the Daoist Master, was clearly much more brilliant. First, everyone followed her instructions to activate the various nodes of the Great Void Restriction spread throughout the Endless Sea of Sand. Then, she would lend the Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Li Chart to Gu Yue Huaidie and others to control this treasure. Together, they would activate the power of the treasure and open the Mirage Secret Realm ahead of time.
Once the Mirage Secret Realm opened, a group of elite Refining Qi disciples would be selected to enter. These disciples would carry the talismans provided by Jin Li, the Daoist Master, and activate them at crucial nodes within the Mirage Secret Realm. The activation of the talismans would trigger the power of the restrictions, allowing them to communicate with the small world in that void. At that time, Meng Zhang and the others could seize the opportunity to enter the passage to the small world.
This method may sound simple, but many details still need careful handling. Jin Li, the Daoist Master, explicitly stated that this method was not her own idea but a feasible one devised by the Primordial Spirit True Monarch Tian Zhu after careful study of the arrangements left by the Purple Gold Sect's Primordial Spirit True Monarch. Since it was devised by the Primordial Spirit True Monarch, its feasibility was undoubtedly much stronger than Gu Yue Huaidie's shallow method.
Without much hesitation, everyone decided to follow Jin Li, the Daoist Master's, method. However, before taking action, there was one issue to address: how to handle the relationship with the Flying Swan Sect. According to Jin Li, the Flying Swan Sect is an important pawn of True Monarch Tian Zhu. Over the years, although True Monarch Tian Zhu has not directly intervened, they have provided a lot of assistance to the Flying Swan Sect through various means. The Flying Swan Sect has been able to maintain its position as the ruler of the Endless Sea of Sand, thanks to the covert support of True Monarch Tian Zhu.
In recent years, True Monarch Tian Zhu has become increasingly difficult to manage, and the situation of the Flying Swan Sect has been deteriorating. However, no matter what, the Flying Swan Sect has deep roots and a powerful influence in the Endless Sea of Sand. If Meng Zhang and the others start to take action, it will be difficult to hide from the watchful eyes of the Flying Swan Sect.Furthermore, even if Meng Zhang and the others did not inform the Flying Swan Sect, Jin Li, the Daoist Master, would definitely notify them due to the relationship between the Flying Swan Sect and True Monarch Tian Zhu. Out of respect for True Monarch Tian Zhu and Jin Li, Meng Zhang and the others did not want to make enemies with the Flying Swan Sect. After discussing the matter, especially after Jin Li gave them some advice, they decided to include the Flying Swan Sect in their plan. At least when facing strong enemies like the Fire Cloud Sect, the Flying Swan Sect could be considered an ally. However, how to compete once they entered the small world was another matter.
After the decision was made, Jin Li, the Daoist Master, contacted the Flying Swan Sect. During this time, Meng Zhang and the others met with several Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Flying Swan Sect, and both sides made some rough agreements. During the meeting, Meng Zhang could clearly feel that the Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect had complex feelings.
This was not surprising. Originally, the Flying Swan Sect had ruled the Endless Sea of Sand for many years and had long regarded the small world of the Purple Gold Sect as their own. For so many years, True Monarch Tian Zhu had always refused to help the Flying Swan Sect enter that small world, citing that the timing was not yet right. Although they had known about the existence of that small world for a long time and had been coveting it, they could only watch helplessly due to True Monarch Tian Zhu's wishes.
This situation of seeing something they desperately wanted but being unable to reach it had tormented several generations of the Flying Swan Sect. If it had continued like this, it would have been fine. However, the Flying Swan Sect could never have imagined that outsiders like Meng Zhang and the others would have the opportunity to enter that small world. The Flying Swan Sect had served True Monarch Tian Zhu for many years, sacrificing countless lives in various wars. Several generations had given their lives, but Meng Zhang and the others had taken advantage of it.
How could the cultivators of the Flying Swan Sect be willing to accept this? However, all of this was True Monarch Tian Zhu's decision, and the Flying Swan Sect could not resist it. Even a single Jin Li, the Daoist Master, was enough to defeat the entire Flying Swan Sect. Although the cultivators of the Flying Swan Sect were unwilling, they could only endure it silently.
Meng Zhang sensed the unwillingness of the Flying Swan Sect cultivators but was disdainful of it. The Flying Swan Sect was just an ordinary Gold Core sect with average strength. They had been oppressed by the Purple Gold Sect for many years and used as a pawn. If it were not for True Monarch Tian Zhu's help, how could the Flying Swan Sect have its current position? Although the Flying Swan Sect had tried to hide its embarrassing history before its rise, Meng Zhang had learned a lot about the Flying Swan Sect's dark history from Gu Yue Huaidie, Luo Ye, and even Jin Li, the Daoist Master, who did not conceal it in front of Meng Zhang and the others.
Since the Flying Swan Sect had relied on True Monarch Tian Zhu to rise to power, they naturally had to serve him. The Primordial Spirit True Monarch would not help them for no reason. It was because they had some use value that they had invested in them. If one was willing to accept the benefits, they should also be willing to accept the consequences. Of course, Meng Zhang concealed his disdain in front of the Flying Swan Sect cultivators. They were still allies, and it was necessary to maintain a good relationship for the time being. At least the attitude of the Flying Swan Sect cultivators on the surface was still very positive.
After discussing with Meng Zhang and the others, the Flying Swan Sect began to take action actively. They withdrew a group of elite Refining Qi cultivators from the front line and prepared them to enter the Mirage Secret Realm. The Flying Swan Sect had done this many times before, and this time, it was just that the time to enter the Mirage Secret Realm had been moved up. Moreover, withdrawing a group of Refining Qi cultivators would not have a significant impact on the front line.
In addition to mobilizing Refining Qi cultivators from Taiyi Sect and its affiliates, Meng Zhang also announced with the Flying Swan Sect to the entire Endless Sea of Sand that the Mirage Secret Realm would open ahead of schedule and invited Refining Qi cultivators from all over to come.
