Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 493: Extreme Sword

Taiyi Sect, such a small and insignificant sect, would never have gained any prominence if it weren't for the stroke of luck in having Meng Zhang, a Gold Core Daoist Master, among its ranks. Without her, the sect would have remained inconspicuous.

Her decision to become a guest elder of Taiyi Sect was solely influenced by her desire to establish a good relationship with Luo Ye, a Daoist Master from the Dark Alliance. She came all the way to the remote Demon Wind Gobi to assist Taiyi Sect in fending off the demons. Taiyi Sect owes her a great debt of gratitude.

Qin Family, a prominent cultivation clan within the Jiuqu League, is far superior to Taiyi Sect in many aspects. Not to mention the various resources possessed by the family, their Third Rank Spirit Vein alone surpasses anything Taiyi Sect has to offer in quality and quantity.

Qin Hongying had always held these thoughts in her mind, looking down on Taiyi Sect with a condescending attitude. Despite Meng Zhang being unable to read her mind, he could still sense her disdain through her words and actions. Over the years, Meng Zhang had developed a deep understanding of people's emotions and kept his discontent hidden beneath a composed fa?ade.

For now, Taiyi Sect still relies on Qin Hongying's support, so Meng Zhang can only tolerate the situation for the time being.

Meanwhile, the Deep Earth Spirit General and Delicate Water Spirit General managed to obtain the necessary spirit medicine after spending a substantial amount of spirit stones from the sect. Delicate Water Spirit General spent nearly half a year refining the spirit pills that could restore soul power.

Though these pills couldn't compare to the Jade Soul Fluid that was once used to strengthen the souls of Twin Success Valley's Foundation Building late-stage cultivators in their attempt to break through to the Gold Core stage, they were cost-effective and easier to acquire.

Meng Zhang found the pills intriguing. While they were of no use to him at the moment, they could be invaluable for Taiyi Sect's disciples in the future, especially those attempting to advance to the Gold Core stage.

Delicate Water Spirit General readily agreed when Meng Zhang proposed the idea. She not only recorded the pill recipe and submitted it to Taiyi Sect's Hidden Scripture Pavilion but also promised to manufacture these pills for the sect as long as the supply of spirit medicine was secured.

Despite the occasional clashes with Meng Zhang, Delicate Water Spirit General knew when to prioritize the sect's interests. This was one aspect of her that Meng Zhang appreciated.

The precious pearl remained nestled within the spirit vein of Taiyi Sect's old mountain gate, where its soul was gradually nourished by a special power. However, the Guardian Spirit General who slept inside had suffered severe injuries, and even after years of nourishment, the soul had not fully recovered.

Delicate Water Spirit General personally infused the power of the pills into the pearl, allowing the dormant Guardian Spirit General to absorb it. Over a year passed, and the Guardian Spirit General's soul gradually awakened, but it was still far from complete recovery, let alone forming a new divine body.

Meng Zhang was curious about this Guardian Spirit General, whom even Delicate Water Spirit General feared and respected. He took the opportunity when Shocking Thunder Spirit General visited Grand Lion Ridge to inquire about it.

Shocking Thunder Spirit General was forthcoming, revealing the Guardian Spirit General's identity: Extreme Sword Spirit General, a rare Sword Cultivator, as Meng Zhang had suspected.

Compared to the other three Spirit Generals, Extreme Sword Spirit General was a true senior, born during Taiyi Sect's heyday. He displayed extraordinary talent in swordsmanship from a young age and aspired to become a Sword Cultivator. In addition to cultivating Taiyi Sect's less remarkable sword techniques, he had also acquired a more profound Sword Cultivator inheritance during his travels outside.

When Taiyi Sect was annihilated, Extreme Sword Spirit General happened to be away from the sect and narrowly escaped. His efforts were crucial in ensuring that some survivors of Taiyi Sect made it to Grand Crossing Mountain Range, where they later rebuilt the sect.

Extreme Sword Spirit General also willingly transformed into a Guardian Spirit General and continued to serve the sect. Unlike the other three, his origins were different, being from Taiyi Sect's prime era.

Shocking Thunder Spirit General mentioned that after Extreme Sword Spirit General fully recovered, Meng Zhang could inquire about the events of Taiyi Sect's prime era. As the only surviving elder from that time, Extreme Sword Spirit General held valuable knowledge about Taiyi Sect's history.

Especially the heyday of Taiyi Sect, Extreme Sword Spirit General experienced it firsthand, while Deep Earth Spirit General and the others only heard about it from others.

In addition to recounting Extreme Sword Spirit General's origins, Shocking Thunder Spirit General also praised his abilities endlessly. Legend has it that during Taiyi Sect's prime era, Extreme Sword Spirit General was considered the strongest below the Primordial Spirit stage. Even the true disciples who cultivated the core inheritance of the sect couldn't match his prowess with his three-foot green peak sword.

Sword Cultivators were renowned for their formidable combat abilities, and Extreme Sword Spirit General's exceptional strength surprised Meng Zhang. Despite being a Gold Core Daoist Master himself, he had never witnessed a true Sword Cultivator in action.

There were no true Sword Cultivators in the Endless Sea of Sand. Only a group of mediocre practitioners whose sword skills couldn't compare to Meng Zhang's. In the Jiuqu League, Jade Sword Sect was a pure Sword Cultivator sect.

During his early cultivation days, Meng Zhang formed his core within Jade Sword Sect's territory. Though he had some interactions with the sect's members, he never saw them engage in battle.

Extreme Sword Spirit General's talents were awe-inspiring, and Shocking Thunder Spirit General, a rather arrogant individual, spoke highly of him, which meant that Extreme Sword Spirit General was genuinely powerful.

As time was of the essence, Meng Zhang couldn't stay away from Demon Wind Gobi for too long. After briefly chatting with Extreme Sword Spirit General, he got straight to the point. Extreme Sword Spirit General's soul had awakened but hadn't formed a new divine body yet. He remained within the precious pearl.

Meng Zhang knew that forming the divine body required precious Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, and each Spirit General required different ones based on their attributes and cultivation techniques. Meng Zhang arrived at the spirit vein's eye, where Delicate Water Spirit General was guarding.

Extreme Sword Spirit General's soul remained inside the pearl, and although he could communicate with the outside world, his memory was incomplete due to the soul's partial recovery.

Approaching the pearl, Meng Zhang introduced himself to the sleeping soul of Extreme Sword Spirit General. Meng Zhang anticipated a rebellious and unruly temperament from a Sword Cultivator, but to his surprise, the voice that emerged from the pearl was gentle and respectful, carrying the demeanor of an elder. Meng Zhang was taken aback. This was not the unruly Sword Cultivator or the "sword maniac" Delicate Water Spirit General had mentioned. Extreme Sword Spirit General's attitude and temperament were completely different from what he had expected.

Meng Zhang had little time and couldn't stay for long. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he delved into the main topic. Extreme Sword Spirit General tried his best to answer Meng Zhang's questions, but his memory was still incomplete, and he couldn't provide answers to everything.

However, Extreme Sword Spirit General disclosed many unheard-of things, making Meng Zhang realize that there was much he didn't know about Taiyi Sect's history.

Though he couldn't get answers to some critical questions, Meng Zhang gained valuable insights. Extreme Sword Spirit General offered a possible solution to Meng Zhang's inquiry about Taiyi Sect's inheritance. He revealed that though Taiyi Sect was destroyed during the demonic calamity, many legacies were still preserved in the mountain gate.

These legacies were of no interest to the demonic beasts, and if Meng Zhang managed to enter, he would undoubtedly find numerous treasures. However, it wouldn't be easy, as the area was completely sealed off by powerful cultivation sects due to the demonic calamity.

As a mere Gold Core Daoist Master, entering the mountain gate of Taiyi Sect in the current Grand Crossing Mountain Range would be risking his life. Nonetheless, Extreme Sword Spirit General's advice gave Meng Zhang some direction, even though he wasn't currently capable of entering the place.

With Taiyi Sect's continuous growth under his leadership, more and more Gold Core Daoist Masters would emerge in the sect. Meng Zhang thought that he could wait until he became stronger and had the support of fellow sect members before attempting to enter the mountain gate.

Extreme Sword Spirit General also revealed that even though he was a Sword Cultivator, his cultivation base focused solely on the path of the sword. Nevertheless, he had some knowledge about the superior inheritances of Taiyi Sect.

When his memories fully recovered, he could provide guidance to Meng Zhang's cultivation. Although some key questions remained unanswered, Meng Zhang had no choice but to accept the situation.

Extreme Sword Spirit General's advice and knowledge were invaluable, and Meng Zhang felt a deep sense of gratitude. Even if he couldn't get all the answers he sought, the encounter with Extreme Sword Spirit General had been a rewarding experience.
