In these years, there has been one thing that gave ng Zhang, a powerful expert at the Gold Corelate stage and a Sect Master, a bit of a headache. It happened after True Monarch Azure Mist put in a lot of effort and, as a result, not only received substantial resources from the Taiyi Sect but also occupied a large territory in the western region of Demon Wind Gobi.
As a Primordial Spirit True Monarch and the Elder of Azure Origin Sect, he naturally didn't have the ti and energy to manage such a vast territory. Therefore, he arranged for so small sects and clans to gradually move to this area and establish their gates, engaging in extensive developnt.
These sects and clans were all part of the vassals of Azure Origin Sect, attached to the faction led by True Monarch Azure Mist. In the past, the main family of Taiyi Sect, Twin Success Valley, a re Foundation Building sect, could have a large number of vassal forces. Gold Core sects like Flying Swan Sect had even more nurous vassals.
Azure Origin Sect, being a Primordial Spirit sect, also had many vassals, and it even had vassals of its vassals. While presenting a united front to the outside world, it was not without internal conflicts and factional struggles.
True Monarch Azure Mist had a large group of followers, including disciples, descendants of his family bloodline, and many others, forming a vast network that wielded significant influence. Although it was not his original intention, a considerable number of cultivators attached themselves to him, seeking his protection and offering him offerings.
As the undisputed leader of this force, he naturally had to consider the well-being of the sect when enjoying the benefits and offerings brought by its influence. The newly acquired territory was ant to be a good place to settle his followers.
The sects and clans that attached themselves to True Monarch Azure Mist either moved directly to this territory or established branches there. In less than twenty years, many cultivators had migrated, leading to prosperous developnt.
Initially, these sects and clans were relatively well-behaved and focused on peaceful developnt. However, over ti, so of them started causing trouble, especially the indulgent and troublemaking mbers within these sects and clans. They would often rely on their backing to stir up troubles, even using the na of True Monarch Azure Mist, causing disturbances and turmoil in the once peaceful Demon Wind Gobi.
While it might have been tolerable if these people caused trouble only in their own territory, the problem was that they also caused incidents in the surrounding territories, primarily those controlled by the various powers of the Hanhai Alliance. As the largest force in Demon Wind Gobi, Taiyi Sect was the leader of the Hanhai Alliance. If they ignored such matters, it would severely impact their reputation and credibility.
However, dealing with these troublemakers and their backers, who might be connected to True Monarch Azure Mist, was also a troubleso task. In reality, as Demon Wind Gobi beca more prosperous and attracted more foreign cultivators, the public order in the area gradually deteriorated. ng Zhang had long intended to rectify the situation but was hindered by various entanglents, making it difficult to take action.
The developnt and prosperity of Demon Wind Gobi were a millennium-long plan of Taiyi Sect, critical to their future. ng Zhang was determined to clean up and reorganize the area, even if it ant offending so people, in order to restore order in Demon Wind Gobi.
Before taking action, ng Zhang sought the opinions of the elders in Taiyi Sect. The female elder, Hu Jing, ca up with an idea that could alleviate much of the external pressure and avoid offending too many people. After so hesitation, ng Zhang decided to adopt her suggestion.
Within the Hanhai Alliance, besides Taiyi Sect cultivators, the only Gold Core Daoist Master was Jin Qiao'er from the Qiaoshou Sect. ng Zhang appointed Jin Qiao'er as the enforcer elder of the Hanhai Alliance, giving her full authority over law enforcent within the sect. Additionally, she was entrusted with maintaining the discipline and order of the Hanhai Alliance.
ng Zhang's appointnt of Jin Qiao'er was not solely based on her Cultivation Base; it was primarily due to her status as the beloved direct disciple of Jin Li True Monarch. True Monarch Azure Mist had nurous descendants and people associated with him, but not all of them had the privilege to et him personally. Jin Qiao'er, being a direct disciple, could enforce punishnt if necessary, and even if any rumors reached True Monarch Azure Mist, he would not likely intervene.
Although ng Zhang might be accused of exploiting Jin Qiao'er, it was a win-win solution. Over the years, Jin Qiao'er and Qiaoshou Sect had received many benefits from Taiyi Sect and were always treated with special care. Now, it was their turn to contribute when needed.
Jin Qiao'er readily accepted ng Zhang's appointnt and took on the responsibility without hesitation. Despite her usual seclusion and disinterest in external affairs, she was well aware of the recent developnts in Demon Wind Gobi. She had long been dissatisfied with the unruly behavior of these foreign cultivators.
With ng Zhang's appointnt, Jin Qiao'er could now lawfully restore order in Demon Wind Gobi. She selected a group of cultivators from Qiaoshou Sect and Taiyi Sect to serve under her command. Although she was a female cultivator, she showed no rcy when dealing with the troublemakers and soon had them under control.
In addition to Jin Qiao'er's actions, ng Zhang also made significant efforts to ensure the smooth developnt of Demon Wind Gobi. After years of developnt, Demon Wind Gobi had grown increasingly prosperous, surpassing Endless Sea of Sand in both cultivation forces and the number of cultivators.
Although Taiyi Sect appeared to be at odds with Endless Sea of Sand on the surface, many cultivation forces, including Fire Cloud Sect, had various secret dealings with Taiyi Sect. Cultivators from Endless Sea of Sand also showed a growing interest in visiting and gaining experience in Demon Wind Gobi.
ng Zhang had ambitious plans and intended to build Grand Lion Ridge into a large trading city similar to Great Wind City. Grand Lion Ridge sat on a Third Rank spirit vein, located in the southwest direction of Demon Wind Gobi, not too far from Great Wind City and Endless Sea of Sand. This location had imnse potential and attracted more and more cultivators.
The construction of the grand city was not an overnight task. Apart from building the city itself, attracting various Shang Families to settle in and drawing a steady stream of cultivators required considerable effort. ng Zhang saw this as a crucial objective for Taiyi Sect's future developnt and invested significant resources to gradually start the construction.
Regardless of the manpower, resources, or ti required, if Grand Lion Ridge were to beco a thriving trading city, it would bring enormous benefits and opportunities to Taiyi Sect.
