ALL NOVELS’ LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master’s Immortal Journey
The Taiyi Sect’s increasingly developed livestock industry brought great benefits to the sect.
After all, demon beasts were demon beasts. Even the lowest level demon beasts had some value for their blood, flesh, and fur. And the demon beasts that the Taiyi Sect raised were carefully selected. They were easy to raise, had a wide range of uses, and had high cost-effectiveness.
Meng Zhang’s decision to hold a grand feast and entertain the guests was not because he had too many spirit stones and nowhere to burn them. It was made after careful consideration.

In the past, the Taiyi Sect had a low profile and Meng Zhang was not a flamboyant person.
When one’s personal strength and the sect’s overall strength were not good, one could only bide their time and not act recklessly.
But now, such a style of conduct was no longer suitable for the Taiyi Sect.
After several bloody battles, the Taiyi Sect had established its reputation and its current status. If it were to remain as low-key as before, it would only be looked down upon.
This time, the black market sent people to kidnap An Xiaoran. Although a large part of it was White Dove’s personal reasons, the Taiyi Sect’s lack of deterrence was also a major factor.
If it were the Twin Success Valley of the past, or the Earthfire Sect of today, the black market would probably have given it a second thought before acting.
The Taiyi Sect’s reputation was far-reaching, but its conduct was too introverted and low-key. It did not match its reputation.
Of course, this was just Meng Zhang’s own opinion. It was unknown whether it was true or not.
Meng Zhang wanted to use this opportunity of the Hu Jing Foundation Buildingdharma meeting to make a grand show of the Taiyi Sect’s strength and show off its muscles to the outside world.
Showing off muscles was not only about showing off the Taiyi Sect’s fighting strength. The sect’s management skills, financial resources, and even its connections were important aspects.
In fact, Meng Zhang’s actions this time had a quick effect.
The Land Walk Sect sent a messenger to visit, which was a good example.
The Land Walk Sect and the Earthfire Sect were always at odds with each other. After the last dispute, their relationship was extremely tense. They were only a step away from open war.
The Land Walk Sect was much weaker than the Earthfire Sect, but it dared to confront the Earthfire Sect head-on. It must have been instructed by the Flying Swan Sect.
Of course, the Flying Swan Sect, as the ruler of the Endless Sea of Sand, would not openly intervene in this kind of conflict, lest it damage its image of neutrality and fairness.
The Taiyi Sect, Qiaoshou Sect, and Earthfire Sect were also not on good terms. When the Forest Spring Watch was destroyed, they almost went to war.
This time, the Land Walk Sect sent a messenger to attend the Foundation Buildingdharma meeting. It wanted to take the opportunity to meet with the Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect’s top leaders. Even if they could not form an alliance, they should have some tacit understanding in dealing with the Earthfire Sect.
Meng Zhang and Aunt Jin both met with the Land Walk Sect’s messenger. They reached an agreement on many things. Meng Zhang even made it clear that if the Earthfire Sect and the Land Walk Sect went to war, the Taiyi Sect would definitely not sit idly by.
Aunt Jin expressed the same meaning as Meng Zhang and also encouraged the Land Walk Sect. They must not retreat when facing the Earthfire Sect.
Although it was just some worthless verbal promises, the first contact had such a result. It was already very good. The Land Walk Sect’s messenger was very satisfied with it.
The Land Walk Sect, the Taiyi Sect, and the Qiaoshou Sect gradually formed an invisible encirclement around the Earthfire Sect.Meng Zhang originally worried that Taiyi Sect would be wary or even oppressed by Flying Swan Sect after it rose to prominence.
But after a series of recent events, he has come to understand many things.
Twin Success Valley was once known for having ten Foundation Building cultivators, including some in the late stage of Foundation Building.

The current Taiyi Sect has a larger territory than Twin Success Valley, but only six Foundation Building cultivators. The number of Qi Refining cultivators is even more disparate.
Taiyi Sect is far from being a threat to Flying Swan Sect with its current strength.
In addition, Meng Zhang even felt that Flying Swan Sect seemed to be planning something big. Taiyi Sect still has some value to Flying Swan Sect.
At least for now, the stronger Taiyi Sect is, the more valuable it is to Flying Swan Sect. Anyway, no matter how powerful Taiyi Sect is,
As long as it does not have a Golden Core Daoist Master, it will not be able to escape Flying Swan Sect’s grasp. At the Foundation Building Dharma Assembly in Hu Jing, Meng Zhang also announced that three more small families had joined Taiyi Sect as its vassals.
There are many spirit veins in Taiyi Sect’s territory, but the territory is too large and the manpower is too limited. Some places that are too remote are simply too difficult to manage.
Especially some of the more barren spirit veins that do not produce much, they are even more useless to Taiyi Sect.
This time, Meng Zhang chose three spirit veins to house the vassal families.
These three small families were either families that had moved from other places or recently established families by loose cultivators.
These three small families had few members and were of average strength. Having a First Rank spirit vein as the foundation of their family was enough for them.
Meng Zhang also formulated laws for these vassal families to govern them.
The relationship between Taiyi Sect and these small families is similar to that between Flying Swan Sect and its vassal families.
These vassal families regularly pay a certain amount of tribute to Taiyi Sect for the management of their territory. At the same time, they also receive Taiyi Sect’s protection.
These vassal families can only recruit cultivators of the same surname and cannot arbitrarily recruit cultivators of other surnames. Of course, special cases such as marriage and adoption are not subject to this restriction.
The family’s outstanding disciples are first to join Taiyi Sect and become Taiyi Sect disciples.
In front of the many guests, after a brief but solemn ceremony, the three small families officially became Taiyi Sect’s vassals.
In addition to the original vassal family, Shi Family, Taiyi Sect now has four vassal families.
With its own strong strength, an ally in Qiaoshou Sect, and four vassal families, Taiyi Sect finally looks like a regional hegemon.
As long as Taiyi Sect continues to develop in this way, it will not be difficult to become another Twin Success Valley sect.
Of course, for Meng Zhang, becoming another Twin Success Valley is not his goal.
The grand Foundation Building Dharma Assembly in Hu Jing ended in a flurry of excitement. The flowing banquet in Singing Sand City also ended with many cultivators reluctant to leave.
The one who felt the most uncomfortable after Taiyi Sect’s display of strength was its neighbor, Earthfire Sect.
The news of the Land Walk Sect envoys visiting Taiyi Sect was no secret. Although it is not known what agreement the Land Walk Sect and Taiyi Sect reached, based on the relationship between these surrounding sects, this is definitely not a good thing for Earthfire Sect.
After Shangguan Longyan was assassinated, the person who took over as the Sect Master of Earthfire Sect was a Foundation Building mid-stage cultivator named Liang Feng.
Speaking of which, Liang Feng was Shangguan Longyan’s senior brother, and his personal strength and prestige in the sect were actually stronger than Shangguan Longyan’s.
Back then, Shangguan Longyan had the strong support of the Elder of the Fiery Flames, which allowed him to surpass Liang Feng and become the Sect Master of Earthfire Sect.
