Chapter 458: Past Events of Taiyi Sect
While Taiyi Sect was busy preparing for war, Deep Earth Spirit General, Shocking Thunder Spirit General, and Delicate Water Spirit General returned to Taiyi Sect together. After returning to the sect, the three of them went to see Sect Master Meng Zhang. With the impending war, these three individuals finally returned. Although the number of Foundation Building cultivators in Taiyi Sect is already considerable, cultivators with strong combat power are always welcome. Not long ago, Delicate Water Spirit General was still at the Refining Qi stage of Cultivation Base, but after going out for a trip, she returned with a Foundation Building stage of Cultivation Base.
After meeting with Meng Zhang, Deep Earth Spirit General got straight to the point without any nonsense. He had promised Meng Zhang that he would reveal all of Taiyi Sect's past events that he knew of, as long as Meng Zhang returned alive from the small world of Purple Gold Sect. Deep Earth Spirit General did not break his promise and slowly began to tell the story. Of course, because Deep Earth Spirit General was born in Taiyi Sect after its reconstruction in Grand Crossing Mountain Range, he was not very clear about Taiyi Sect's past events on Middle-Earth Continent, and many of them were just hearsay.
Over a thousand years ago, Taiyi Sect was once the top sect on Middle-Earth Continent, with many Primordial Spirit True Monarchs in the sect, located very close to the core of Middle-Earth Continent. Later, Taiyi Sect had some unknown disputes with Holy Land Sect Viewing Heaven Pavilion.
Among all the forces in the Cultivation World, only a few can be called Holy Land. These few Holy Lands, which are at the top of the Cultivation World, are the true masters of the Cultivation World, controlling almost half of it. Even large sects like Taiyi Sect have almost no ability to fight back when facing the major Holy Lands.
In an instant, the entire Taiyi Sect gate, along with many cultivators, including powerful Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, were silently wiped out. At the time of Taiyi Sect's destruction, those cultivators who were lucky enough not to be in the sect received the news and fled far away from Middle-Earth Continent.
In fact, what happened when Taiyi Sect was destroyed and whether Viewing Heaven Pavilion was involved is not very clear to the survivors of Taiyi Sect. However, because Taiyi Sect had disputes with Viewing Heaven Pavilion before, and only the major Holy Lands had the strength to silently wipe out Taiyi Sect, the survivors of Taiyi Sect regarded Viewing Heaven Pavilion as the culprit of the destruction.
Viewing Heaven Pavilion is an anomaly among the major Holy Land Sects. Their motto is "observe the way of heaven and act according to it," and this is also their code of conduct. Viewing Heaven Pavilion, who claims to be the spokesperson of the way of heaven, is extremely arrogant and looks down on other Holy Land Sects. They always act alone and do as they please.
In the eyes of many cultivators, Viewing Heaven Pavilion is like a high and mighty immortal, with a transcendent position and rarely involved in the various grievances of the Cultivation World. However, when a force or cultivator in the Cultivation World becomes an obstacle to the operation of the way of heaven in the eyes of Viewing Heaven Pavilion, they will face their merciless attack.
With the usual arrogance of Viewing Heaven Pavilion, they did not bother to pursue and kill the remnants of Taiyi Sect after its destruction.Of course, it is also possible that after the destruction of Taiyi Sect, those small fry who managed to escape are no longer seen as obstacles to the operation of the way of heaven in the eyes of Viewing Heaven Pavilion, and therefore not worth pursuing and killing. Some cultivators who successfully fled from the central region of Middle-Earth Continent went through numerous hardships and traveled millions of miles. Finally, in the northernmost edge of Middle-Earth Continent, within the Grand Crossing Mountain Range, they joined forces and rebuilt Taiyi Sect.
After the reconstruction, Taiyi Sect experienced a period of stable development. Although there were no Primordial Spirit True Monarchs in the sect, they managed to establish a foundation within the Grand Crossing Mountain Range with the combined efforts of several Gold Core Daoist Masters. Deep Earth Spirit General and the other Guardian Spirit Generals joined Taiyi Sect during this time. Originally disciples of Taiyi Sect, they reached the Gold Core stage but, due to various reasons, were unable to advance to the Primordial Spirit stage. As a result, they used the secret techniques of Taiyi Sect's heritage and consumed a large amount of resources to transform themselves into Guardian Spirit Generals, a special existence. Guardian Spirit Generals have long lifespans, comparable to Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, and possess formidable combat power far surpassing ordinary Gold Core Daoist Masters.
Everyone initially believed that Taiyi Sect could develop steadily and gradually accumulate strength. However, the good times didn't last long as a demonic calamity swept through the entire Grand Crossing Mountain Range.
As for what happened next, that is the history of Taiyi Sect that Meng Zhang knows. Taiyi Sect was once again annihilated, and the survivors fled far away from Middle-Earth Continent, constantly escaping towards the north until they reached the Endless Sea of Sand.
To be honest, when Meng Zhang read in the Sect Master's chronicles that Taiyi Sect had been annihilated three times in a row and the survivors had fled in a panic, he couldn't help but marvel at the resilience of the predecessors of Taiyi Sect. At the same time, he had some doubts and felt that Taiyi Sect had been extremely unlucky.
Deep Earth Spirit General's subsequent words answered some of Meng Zhang's doubts. Since Viewing Heaven Pavilion dares to consider itself the spokesperson of the way of heaven, it naturally has its own confidence. According to legends, the powerful individuals of Viewing Heaven Pavilion are proficient in the way of manipulating qi fortune and can diminish the fortune of their opponents. Deep Earth Spirit General and the others had far more knowledge and experience than Meng Zhang. After they recovered, they also discussed this issue and speculated that Viewing Heaven Pavilion must have used some method to diminish Taiyi Sect's fortune, leading to the successive disasters of annihilation.
After Taiyi Sect relocated to the Endless Sea of Sand, for reasons unknown, perhaps due to extreme adversity, it experienced a resurgence. Taiyi Sect, as a long-standing sect, must have left behind some hidden cards for the sect's heritage. However, in the face of the major Holy Lands, these hidden cards hardly had any effect. Taiyi Sect's ability to establish a foothold in the Endless Sea of Sand and experience a revival occurred after Meng Zhang became the Sect Master of Taiyi Sect.
Therefore, Deep Earth Spirit General and the others speculated that Meng Zhang must possess great fortune. Upon hearing Deep Earth Spirit General's speculation, Meng Zhang smiled but remained silent. As a transmigrator who crossed over from another world to the Grand Dust World, he wondered if he could be considered as having profound fortune.
Deep Earth Spirit General's account was not very detailed, and there were many speculative words. However, after listening to it, Meng Zhang finally resolved some of his doubts and understood what kind of enemy Taiyi Sect would face in the future. Viewing Heaven Pavilion, a powerful sect that even the flourishing Taiyi Sect could easily be wiped out by, was truly a formidable opponent. Just the thought of such a powerful enemy made one feel despair.
Even someone as resolute as Meng Zhang could only temporarily set aside this issue and refrain from dwelling on how to face it in the future. The only thing he could do was to take good care of the present. Those Holy Land Sects were far away in Middle-Earth Continent and distant from the Endless Sea of Sand, so they shouldn't be casting their gaze here. Meng Zhang comforted himself with these thoughts.
