Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

After the reconstruction of the Taiyi Sect, the interior of the Void Cauldron has always been considered the most reliable secret treasury, where the most important items of the sect are stored, including inheritance scriptures and the like. Before the sect's mountain gate was breached, they had put all sorts of valuable resources into it, knowing that they wouldn't be able to take them away.

Currently, within the Void Cauldron, everything Meng Zhang needs is stored. However, without the permission of the Void Cauldron's tool spirit, no one can take anything out of it.

The four Guardian Spirit Generals have tried various methods to communicate with the tool spirit of the Void Cauldron, but it remains indifferent, providing no response whatsoever. Faced with no other option, the Extreme Sword Spirit General had Meng Zhang come and try it personally.

As the contemporary Sect Master of Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang holds a high position in the sect, and even if the elders have a bad temper or a significant presence, they should still give him some face. However, to his embarrassment, the tool spirit of the Void Cauldron completely ignores him, despite his attempts to communicate.

If it were not for the previous encounters when the Extreme Sword Spirit General and the Deep Earth Spirit General sensed the presence of the tool spirit during the collection of the Void Cauldron, Meng Zhang would have suspected that the tool spirit had already dissipated long ago.

It puzzles everyone why the tool spirit of the Void Cauldron refuses to acknowledge even the face of the Sect Master.

After discussions among the four Guardian Spirit Generals, they speculate that the Void Cauldron might not recognize Meng Zhang as the Taiyi Sect Sect Master due to his identity not being formally recognized by the Void Cauldron.

Meng Zhang did not appoint himself as the Taiyi Sect Sect Master; he was the successor chosen by the previous Sect Master. Despite Taiyi Sect's turbulent history and being devastated three times, the lineage has remained unbroken and orderly. The mountain gate of Taiyi Sect, after multiple relocations, still houses the tablets of the past ancestors.

Meng Zhang's legitimacy as the Taiyi Sect Sect Master is unquestionable and respected, yet the Void Cauldron seems to disregard him completely, suggesting a lack of recognition for his position.

Feeling powerless and unsure of what to do, Meng Zhang recalls a memory from the past when he first took over Taiyi Sect. He discovered a record in the Sect Master's journal, which led him to establish a covenant with a Ghost Deity connected to the ancestral Trial Grounds of the Taiyi Sect.

Meng Zhang isn't the type to conceal much from people he trusts, and being a person of trust, he confided in the four Guardian Spirit Generals, who have always been loyal and devoted to the sect. They were privy to most of the sect's secrets.

As the four Guardian Spirit Generals fell into contemplation, Meng Zhang hesitated for a moment and shared an old story with them.However, to enter the Trial Ground, one needs to be a Refining Qi stage cultivator with a powerful Soul. As a time traveler, Meng Zhang possesses a significantly stronger Soul compared to an ordinary person.

Being a time traveler is Meng Zhang's biggest secret, and he has always been careful to keep related matters strictly confidential, never revealing them.

Of course, this secret doesn't hinder him from attending to his duties. After Meng Zhang's own Soul power and Cultivation Base greatly advanced, he became unable to enter the Trial Ground again. However, he continued to pay attention to the Refining Qi stage disciples within the sect to see if any of them could meet the requirements for entry. Yet, individuals with such exceptional talents and a powerful Soul like Meng Zhang's were exceedingly rare, almost one in a million.

Over the years, Taiyi Sect had accepted several thousand disciples, but not a single one met the necessary criteria. As a result, the secret of the Trial Ground remained preserved in Meng Zhang's mind.

Now, hearing the four Guardian Spirit Generals speak about Taiyi Sect's past, Meng Zhang suddenly recalled this particular incident. Hesitating for a moment, he decided to share this past event with them, withholding very little information except for his identity as a time traveler.

After listening to Meng Zhang's account, the four Guardian Spirit Generals exchanged glances. The others had no clue, but Extreme Sword Spirit General spoke up after inquiring carefully about the details of Meng Zhang's worship of the Ghost Deity, ensuring Meng Zhang's respectful and cautious approach before he breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the Sect Master's journal, the Ghost Deity Meng Zhang worshiped had established an agreement with the ancestors of Taiyi Sect during its flourishing period to aid young disciples in entering the Trial Ground.

In reality, if it weren't for the firm assurance of this Ghost Deity's reliability in the Sect Master's journal, Meng Zhang would not have dared to worship an unknown deity. Although he was just a Refining Qi stage cultivator at the time, he had received proper training in Taiyi Sect and possessed enough common sense not to casually worship unfamiliar deities, especially those residing in the netherworld like Ghost Deities, as they were often capricious and merciless.

Countless predecessors in the Cultivation World had paid with their lives and blood to teach this lesson. When a Ghost Deity abided by an agreement, it acted like an emotionless contractual machine. However, when the terms were exceeded, it could turn into a malevolent god of death, taking lives without hesitation.

Out of caution, besides worshiping the Ghost Deity before entering the Trial Ground, Meng Zhang had never done so at any other time. Even after becoming a Gold Core Daoist Master, he was still reluctant to easily interact with Ghost Deities of the netherworld.

By bringing up this past event now, Meng Zhang felt a sense of urgency and desperation, as well as an intuitive connection in his heart. He wanted to know if this Ghost Deity had any connection with Taiyi Sect's ancestors. ȐᴀNȯＢĘŝ

Upon hearing Meng Zhang's words, Extreme Sword Spirit General praised his cautiousness and carefulness. Then he proceeded to speculate on the origin of this Ghost Deity.
