ng Zhang, a new Gold Core Daoist Master, warmly welcod 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, ng Zhang also gained sothing valuable. So of them expressed their willingness to join him.
Rather than hastily accepting or outright refusing, ng Zhang tactfully shifted the topic. After receiving the Foundation Building cultivators, ng 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 ford the core on soone 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 soone from afar wouldn't be surprising.
However, to ng Zhang's surprise, the Jade Sword Sect not only agreed to his visit but also sent a Gold Core elder to receive him. They t 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 so advice to ng Zhang. Grateful for the guidance, ng Zhang expressed his admiration and longing for the Jade Sword Sect.
The elder didn't respond to ng Zhang's words and didn't say much further. After a casual chat, ng 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 ford his core, ng Zhang consolidated his Cultivation Base while observing the loose cultivators who expressed their desire to join him. Additionally, the Qian Family brothers whom ng 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 ng Zhang's life-saving grace, the Qian Family brothers expressed their wish to serve and follow him. With ng 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, ng Zhang welcod them into his ranks.
After entering the Gold Core stage, ng 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.
Once his Cultivation Base was completely stable, ng Zhang led his newly acquired Foundation Building subordinates and set out to return to Taiyi Sect. After forming his core, Jue Ying had left on her own accord, but before departing, she made it clear that she might seek ng Zhang's help in the future and hoped he wouldn't refuse.
ng Zhang was not the kind of person to forget old friends just because his Cultivation Base had grown stronger. He made a promise that if Jue Ying needed his help, she should inform him, and he would be there to assist her.
Leaving the territory of the Jade Sword Sect, ng Zhang and his group made their way to Great Wind City. After settling his subordinates, he paid a visit to Gu Yue Huaidie. However, she happened to be away, and it was Gu Yue Youlan who received ng Zhang. She was quite surprised that ng Zhang had managed to form his Gold Core without using the Gu Yue Family's Third Rank spirit vein.
When ng Zhang shared the story of how he had endured countless hardships to obtain the spirit essence from the Deadly Sea of Sand, Gu Yue Youlan couldn't help but be deeply impressed. As a highly regarded young mber of the Gu Yue Family, she had heard many stories about the Deadly Sea of Sand. ng Zhang's experiences were truly extraordinary.
Now that ng Zhang had advanced to the Gold Core stage, their statuses were different, and Gu Yue Youlan showed him even more respect, treating him with utmost deference. Of course, ng Zhang didn't display any arrogance as a Gold Core Daoist Master in front of his old friend. Moreover, the Gu Yue Family, being a cultivation family, was never short of Gold Core Daoist Masters.
Under Gu Yue Youlan's recomndation, ng Zhang visited a Gold Core elder who oversaw external affairs in the Gu Yue Family. The two had a pleasant conversation and reached many agreents for cooperation.
With ng Zhang becoming a Gold Core Daoist Master, Taiyi Sect naturally rose in prominence and beca a Gold Core sect. Now, Taiyi Sect had gained the qualification to interact on an equal footing with the Gu Yue Family.
After visiting the Gu Yue Family, ng Zhang returned to Taiyi Sect with his subordinates. This ti, he didn't conceal his presence but openly returned to the sect. Nearly ten years had passed since he left the sect as a Foundation Building cultivator, and now he had returned as a Gold Core Daoist Master.
ng Zhang's return brought excitent to the entire Taiyi Sect. The sect was abuzz, and all affiliated families and nearby cultivation forces were stirred up. After Guang ZhiDaoist Master from Forest Spring Watch and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze from Earthfire Sect, ng Zhang was the third Gold Core Daoist Master not affiliated with Flying Swan Sect.
After the initial shock, many people started to anticipate how Flying Swan Sect would react to this newly promoted Gold Core Daoist Master, ng Zhang. They wondered what attitude the sect would take and how they would treat him.
So individuals who held ill intentions towards Taiyi Sect secretly hoped for ng 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 claid 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 rembered how Flying Swan Sect had dealt with the cultivation forces attempting to cultivate Gold Core Daoist Masters in the Endless Sea of Sand.
