The Lu Family is currently unwilling to completely break ties with Jin Li, the Daoist Master, especially with the existence of True Monarch Tian Zhu, so they are leaving some room in their actions. The cultivators sent by the Lu Family to besiege Jin Li have been instructed to hold back and avoid provoking anger. Similarly, Jin Li doesn't want to form a strong enmity with the powerful Gold Core family like the Lu Family, so she also acts with restraint to avoid harming them.

However, as long as both sides don't compromise, the conflict won't stop. If Jin Li accidentally injures a cultivator from the Lu Family, they will surely retaliate, and the situation could escalate into a life-and-death struggle.

Moreover, with the constant harassment from the Lu Family cultivators, Jin Li can't focus on her main tasks and finds it extremely annoying. Meng Zhang quickly became aware of Jin Li's situation but feels helpless and unable to intervene.

Great Wind City is currently an essential trading partner for the Taiyi Sect, and Meng Zhang naturally doesn't want to offend the Lu Family. However, his influence is not sufficient to mediate this matter.

Jin Li has a fiery temper and is unlikely to back down easily, even if Meng Zhang tries to persuade her.

To make matters more complicated, both sides have avoided causing casualties so far, but it's uncertain how this will be resolved.

After more than a year passed, Jin Li suddenly arrived at Grand Lion Ridge, specifically asking to visit Meng Zhang. At present, Meng Zhang is the only Gold Core Daoist Master in Grand Lion Ridge, so he personally received Jin Li.

Initially, Meng Zhang thought Jin Li came to seek the help of Taiyi Sect in dealing with the Lu Family. He wondered how Taiyi Sect could assist without completely breaking ties with the Lu Family.

However, when they met, Jin Li did not discuss the matter with the Lu Family but had another important matter to discuss.

Before True Monarch Tian Zhu fell, he gave Jin Li many pointers. Jin Li, currently at the Gold Core completion stage, is aiming to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage in her cultivation.

After achieving the Primordial Spirit stage, one's Spiritual Awareness becomes acute, making it ideal for divination cultivation. However, despite years of experience in the Cultivation World, Jin Li has not found a suitable divination inheritance to complement her Spiritual Awareness.

True Monarch Tian Zhu mentioned to Jin Li several times that if she could get the help of a diviner who could use her Spiritual Awareness, she might have discovered the weaknesses of the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit and ended the battle early.

Unfortunately, diviners are rare, and even high-level Primordial Spirit cultivators find it difficult to find a suitable divination master.

True Monarch Tian Zhu, before his death, was exceptionally clear-minded due to his Spiritual Awareness and extraordinary insight. He told Jin Li that her chance to achieve Primordial Spirit lies in a small world in Purple Gold Sect.

Jin Li had previously attempted to open the small world of Purple Gold Sect and sent many Gold Core Daoist Masters inside to explore it. Although they gained some benefits, they encountered the wisp of soul of True Monarch Vermilion, which relentlessly attacked all Gold Core Daoist Masters present.

Even just a wisp of soul from a Primordial Spirit True Monarch was not something a group of Gold Core Daoist Masters could directly confront. Meng Zhang and other Gold Core Daoist Masters hurriedly fled the small world.

After that, the connection to the small world's Great Void Restriction was closed.

Now, Jin Li faces difficulties in entering the small world of Purple Gold Sect, as the wisp of soul of True Monarch Vermilion still resides there. Even with her Gold Core completion level, she may not be able to come out unscathed.

However, Jin Li believes that the wisp of soul of True Monarch Vermilion has weakened significantly since its last awakening several decades ago. If she can get the cooperation of other Gold Core Daoist Masters, she believes there's a good chance they can kill the wisp of soul.

Jin Li aims to fully control the small world after getting rid of the wisp of soul, which will allow her to search for the opportunity to achieve the Primordial Spirit stage.

Despite having a complete sect's inheritance and the guidance of True Monarch Tian Zhu, Jin Li knows that reaching the Primordial Spirit stage is still extremely challenging.

Over the years, she has followed True Monarch Tian Zhu's instructions before his death, working hard to improve in all aspects in preparation for achieving Primordial Spirit.

However, with Lu Family causing trouble, her cultivation has been greatly delayed, and she is fed up with it. She had planned to wait for a while until the wisp of soul of True Monarch Vermilion weakened further before taking advantage of the small world. But with the interference from the Lu Family, she had to advance her plan.

She wants to see if the Lu Family will still dare to trouble her once she becomes a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.

Perhaps fearing that Meng Zhang might refuse, Jin Li offered many benefits without waiting for him to ask. The most important one being that she promised to reside in the Deadly Sea of Sand and protect Taiyi Sect for a hundred years after becoming a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.

Jin Li explained to Meng Zhang in detail the importance of having a Primordial Spirit True Monarch's protection. In the Cultivation World, for a Gold Core sect to have an independent and secure position, it needs to have a Primordial Spirit sect.

The previous ruler of Endless Sea of Sand was the Primordial Spirit sect, Purple Gold Sect. Flying Swan Sect later became able to rule Endless Sea of Sand because of the existence of True Monarch Tian Zhu.

For Taiyi Sect to hold such a vast territory like Demon Wind Gobi, it needs the protection of a Primordial Spirit True Monarch. Otherwise, it would not be able to maintain this foundation. Not to mention the covetous gazes from other sects like True Monarch Profound Wind and True Monarch Mountain Peak.

According to the customs of the Cultivation World, Taiyi Sect needs the presence of a Primordial Spirit True Monarch to have the qualifications to solely occupy Demon Wind Gobi.

Jin Li said all this to persuade Meng Zhang to enter the small world of Purple Gold Sect with her. Even though they have a good relationship, asking Meng Zhang to face the wisp of soul of True Monarch Vermilion is still a difficult request.

In reality, even if Jin Li didn't say much, Meng Zhang would still help her. Meng Zhang understands clearly that they are in the same boat. Their fates are intertwined - if one suffers, the other will too, and if one prospers, so will the other.

If Jin Li achieves Primordial Spirit, many of Taiyi Sect's problems will be resolved, and Meng Zhang will benefit as well.
