Chapter 423: Return

Meng Zhang, a new Gold Core Daoist Master, warmly welcomed the Foundation Building cultivators. It was rare to encounter such an approachable Gold Core Daoist Master, and everyone was excited. During the interaction with these Foundation Building cultivators, Meng Zhang also gained something valuable. Some of them expressed their willingness to join him.

Rather than hastily accepting or outright refusing, Meng Zhang tactfully shifted the topic. After receiving the Foundation Building cultivators, Meng Zhang sought out the Jade Sword Sect cultivator responsible for this area and requested a visit. Although he hadn't received any help from the Jade Sword Sect, since he had quietly formed the core on someone else's territory, it was proper to pay a visit and have a friendly chat.

The request was relayed back to the Jade Sword Sect, a Primordial Spirit sect that didn't typically pay much attention to a newly promoted Gold Core cultivator. Moreover, being a Sword Cultivator sect, they were known for their pride and seclusion, so rejecting someone from afar wouldn't be surprising.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

However, to Meng Zhang's surprise, the Jade Sword Sect not only agreed to his visit but also sent a Gold Core elder to receive him. They met not at the Jade Sword Sect's main gate but at an estate not far from there.

During their conversation, though mostly polite, the Jade Sword Sect's Gold Core elder offered some advice to Meng Zhang. Grateful for the guidance, Meng Zhang expressed his admiration and longing for the Jade Sword Sect.

The elder didn't respond to Meng Zhang's words and didn't say much further. After a casual chat, Meng Zhang took his leave. With plenty of spiritual essence remaining, he didn't urgently need a Third Rank spirit vein.

Back in the courtyard where he had formed his core, Meng Zhang consolidated his Cultivation Base while observing the loose cultivators who expressed their desire to join him. Additionally, the Qian Family brothers whom Meng Zhang had saved and brought back to recover were now in decent shape. Though their prospects were dim, and they could only reach the mid-stage of Foundation Building in their Cultivation Base, they no longer had the heart to wander aimlessly.

Grateful for Meng Zhang's life-saving grace, the Qian Family brothers expressed their wish to serve and follow him. With Meng Zhang becoming a Gold Core Daoist Master, his Divine Abilities, Mind Reading, and Deception Breaking Eye had made significant progress. Satisfied that the brothers were sincerely joining him without any hidden intentions, Meng Zhang welcomed them into his ranks.

After entering the Gold Core stage, Meng Zhang needed to cultivate new secret techniques unique to Gold Core Daoist Masters. Only then could he truly possess the combat power of a Gold Core cultivator befitting his new status. He stayed in this place for a few more years, during which four more Foundation Building cultivators joined him.

After the initial shock, many people started to anticipate how Flying Swan Sect would react to this newly promoted Gold Core Daoist Master, Meng Zhang. They wondered what attitude the sect would take and how they would treat him.

Some individuals who held ill intentions towards Taiyi Sect secretly hoped for Meng Zhang's misfortune. Ever since the official war between Fire Cloud Sect and Flying Swan Sect, the fate of Guang ZhiDaoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze had spread throughout the Endless Sea of Sand.

According to Fire Cloud Sect, Flying Swan Sect used the pretext of defending against monster invasions to secretly harm the two Daoist Masters. The purpose was to eliminate all Gold Core Daoist Masters in the Endless Sea of Sand who didn't belong to Flying Swan Sect, ensuring their dominance.

Flying Swan Sect, on the other hand, had a different version of events. They claimed that Guang ZhiDaoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze had conspired with Fire Cloud Sect during the monster invasion to create chaos in the Endless Sea of Sand.

Thus, Flying Swan Sect took decisive action and killed Guang ZhiDaoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze. As for which version was the truth, only the two sides themselves knew for sure.

At least on the surface, all the cultivation forces in the Endless Sea of Sand staunchly believed Flying Swan Sect's account, remaining loyal to them and refusing to believe the malicious rumors spread by Fire Cloud Sect.

Regardless of the reasons, the fact that the two Gold Core Daoist Masters not belonging to Flying Swan Sect had died at the sect's hands was indisputable.

Everyone still remembered how Flying Swan Sect had dealt with the cultivation forces attempting to cultivate Gold Core Daoist Masters in the Endless Sea of Sand.
