Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Meng Zhang had hidden worries in his heart, but he was helpless. The battle between Primordial Spirit True Monarch and Fifth Rank great power was at a level that was too high for him to intervene. He could only wait for the outcome.

Experiencing this sense of powerlessness once again made Meng Zhang feel frustrated, and it took a long time for him to calm down. He really wanted to lead the team and leave immediately, away from this conflict. However, if he were to do so, not only would he not pass True Monarch Tian Zhu's test, but even Jin Li Daoist Master, who was supervising the battle from behind, would not allow it.

Meng Zhang could only be more cautious and specifically instructed a few trusted individuals in the team. If the situation was not favorable, everyone should retreat immediately.

The situation encountered after entering the Deadly Sea of Sand seemed to be a bit exaggerated in Meng Zhang's mind. Along the way, the four armies encountered many sand monsters, but their levels were not high, and they could be easily eliminated.

Without the influence of the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit in the Deadly Sea of Sand, many spells and divine abilities could be freely used without obstruction. Although the nests of the sand monsters were buried deep underground, the Gold Core Daoist Masters had various means to slowly locate them. Especially Meng Zhang, who secretly used the Grand Evolving Fortune, could easily deduce the whereabouts of these sand monster nests.

As a master of divination, although he did not have the ability to deduce the battle between the Fifth Rank great power and True Monarch Tian Zhu, it was relatively easy for him to deduce the locations of these low-level sand monster nests.

These sand monster nests were not of high level and could only breed First Rank and Second Rank sand monsters. After completely destroying them, they could still harvest some spirit source beads.

Unconsciously, the cultivator team from Taiyi Sect had actually destroyed the most sand monster nests and achieved the most glorious results.

Speaking of divine abilities, Meng Zhang's other divine ability, Mind Reading, also advanced after he reached the Gold Core stage, but he used it less frequently. After entering the Gold Core stage, cultivators developed Divine Sense, which naturally restrained their thoughts and made it difficult to probe. Moreover, many Gold Core Daoist Masters had their own methods of concealing their thoughts.

Even though Meng Zhang, as a mid-stage Gold Core cultivator, would normally find it difficult to read the thoughts of early-stage Gold Core cultivators, the Mind Reading divine ability still had its uses. It allowed Meng Zhang to roughly sense whether others had goodwill or ill intentions towards him.

Meng Zhang had not tried it in front of Primordial Spirit True Monarch, but he could clearly feel that Jin Li Daoist Master had no ill intentions towards him, which was why he had always been sincere in his friendship with Jin Li Daoist Master.

For the other Gold Core Daoist Masters who joined this expedition, when Meng Zhang interacted with them, he used Mind Reading to sense their thoughts. Although he was not able to successfully read their thoughts, Meng Zhang could clearly sense that Fei Shi Daoist Master and Wu Mingwei Daoist Master from Flying Swan Sect had ill intentions towards him. Qi Nanfei from the Northern Desert Qi Family seemed to be deliberately friendly on the surface, but he also had no goodwill towards Meng Zhang. Only Huang Tannian from the Huang Family had no ulterior motives and was completely unrelated.

Meng Zhang could roughly guess the thoughts of these temporary allies. Flying Swan Sect's attitude towards Taiyi Sect was not a secret. The Northern Desert Qi Family also did not treat Taiyi Sect as a friend.

The Mind Reading divine ability made Meng Zhang more certain of his situation and made him more vigilant. Meng Zhang's divine ability, Deception Breaking Eye, combined with the divination technique Grand Evolving Fortune, allowed him to find and completely destroy many sand monster nests.

When Deep Earth Spirit General was repairing the Third Rank spirit vein, it was the time when spirit source beads were needed. Meng Zhang did not deliberately hide his abilities. In addition to spirit source beads, the Taiyi Sect cultivators would also gain some other resources.

However, due to the responsibility of clearing the Deadly Sea of Sand, the Taiyi Sect cultivators did not have time to plunder resources. Instead, it was the small teams that followed the army that benefited.

After the four armies entered the Deadly Sea of Sand, their journey was quite smooth. They encountered many sand monsters along the way, but they were not strong and could be easily eliminated. They found and destroyed many sand monster nests along the way, gaining some rewards.

Jin Li Daoist Master had previously mentioned that the Fifth Rank great power had many Third Rank sand monsters as guards. With the invasion of the Deadly Sea of Sand, those Third Rank sand monsters would definitely join the battle. However, after the four armies had been in the Deadly Sea of Sand for so long, they had not encountered any Third Rank sandmonsters, let alone the ghost cultivators and demonic cultivators lurking in the Deadly Sea of Sand.

Everyone's spirits were high, thinking that the main force of the sand monsters in the Deadly Sea of Sand had likely been drawn away by the army from True Monarch Mountain Peak.

The battles along the way were easy, and everyone did not feel burdened by the task.

If the expedition to the Deadly Sea of Sand could continue like this, it would be great. However, because they had not encountered a large army of powerful sand monsters, the four armies had divided into several small teams to search for the sand monster nests and destroy them, in order to increase efficiency.

Although Meng Zhang was not as optimistic as the others, he still dispatched several small teams to search for the sand monster nests and guided them on how to find and destroy them. The progress was slow, and it took the four armies more than a month to advance thousands of miles into the Deadly Sea of Sand.

It was at this time that an anomaly occurred. First, a small team sent by Flying Swan Sect to search for sand monster nests did not return to the main army for a long time. Then, teams from all four armies exceeded the agreed-upon time and did not come back.

The Gold Core Daoist Masters who were in charge of each army gradually felt that something was wrong. After receiving reports, Meng Zhang used the Grand Evolving Fortune to deduce the situation. After obtaining the results, he immediately ordered the use of communication talismans to recall all the Taiyi Sect cultivator teams that were outside.

Then, he instructed Yang Xueyi to continue leading the main army while he hurriedly flew out. Meng Zhang encountered two demonic cultivators attacking a team of Taiyi Sect cultivators about 600 miles north of the main army. The two demonic cultivators were only at the Foundation Building stage and were easily eliminated by Meng Zhang, who then rescued the attacked Taiyi Sect cultivators.

After giving them a brief instruction to quickly return and join the main army, Meng Zhang flew away again. This time, about 500 miles south of the main army of Taiyi Sect cultivators, he encountered a Third Rank sand monster.

When he arrived, the Third Rank sand monster was creating a sandstorm, trapping a team of Taiyi Sect cultivators. It seemed like they were about to be overwhelmed.
