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 ng 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 thods to communicate with the tool spirit of the Void Cauldron, but it remains indifferent, providing no response whatsoever. Faced with no other option, the Extre Sword Spirit General had ng Zhang co and try it personally.
As the contemporary Sect Master of Taiyi Sect, ng 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 so face. However, to his embarrassnt, 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 Extre Sword Spirit General and the Deep Earth Spirit General sensed the presence of the tool spirit during the collection of the Void Cauldron, ng 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 ng Zhang as the Taiyi Sect Sect Master due to his identity not being formally recognized by the Void Cauldron.
ng 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 tis, the lineage has remained unbroken and orderly. The mountain gate of Taiyi Sect, after multiple relocations, still houses the tablets of the past ancestors.
ng 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, ng Zhang recalls a mory 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.
ng 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, ng Zhang hesitated for a mont 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 ti traveler, ng Zhang possesses a significantly stronger Soul compared to an ordinary person.
Being a ti traveler is ng 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 ng Zhang's own Soul power and Cultivation Base greatly advanced, he beca 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 et the requirents for entry. Yet, individuals with such exceptional talents and a powerful Soul like ng 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 t the necessary criteria. As a result, the secret of the Trial Ground remained preserved in ng Zhang's mind.
Now, hearing the four Guardian Spirit Generals speak about Taiyi Sect's past, ng Zhang suddenly recalled this particular incident. Hesitating for a mont, he decided to share this past event with them, withholding very little information except for his identity as a ti traveler.
After listening to ng Zhang's account, the four Guardian Spirit Generals exchanged glances. The others had no clue, but Extre Sword Spirit General spoke up after inquiring carefully about the details of ng Zhang's worship of the Ghost Deity, ensuring ng Zhang's respectful and cautious approach before he breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the Sect Master's journal, the Ghost Deity ng Zhang worshiped had established an agreent 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, ng Zhang would not have dared to worship an unknown deity. Although he was just a Refining Qi stage cultivator at the ti, 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 rciless.
Countless predecessors in the Cultivation World had paid with their lives and blood to teach this lesson. When a Ghost Deity abided by an agreent, 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, ng Zhang had never done so at any other ti. 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, ng 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.
Upon hearing ng Zhang's words, Extre Sword Spirit General praised his cautiousness and carefulness. Then he proceeded to speculate on the origin of this Ghost Deity.
