As Void Cauldron couldn't utilize the Mother-Child Transmission Disc for transportation, it had to remain within Maple Leaf Mountain City. Apart from arranging sufficient defensive forces here, ng Zhang himself also stayed in this place.
With the existence of the Mother-Child Transmission Disc, instant transmission between Maple Leaf Mountain City and Taiyi Sect's Hundred Grass Slope was possible, making things quite convenient.
However, due to the dwindling stock of Void Nether Stone, they needed to control the number of transfers and reduce unnecessary teleportations. Originally, ng Zhang thought that the number of Gold Core Daoist Masters from Taiyi Sect would be sufficient, but after obtaining Maple Leaf Mountain City, he realized that their numbers were still insufficient.
Maple Leaf Mountain City was Taiyi Sect's extension into the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle, representing the first expansion in such a distant location and also serving as Taiyi Sect's retreat route. Given its importance, it required careful managent.
So far, the cultivators from Taiyi Sect's Hundred Grass Slope who had been sent to Maple Leaf Mountain City were either at the Foundation Building stage or Gold Core Daoist Masters. They not only had to fully control this territory but also thoroughly integrate into the local Cultivation World.
There were nurous affairs to handle in Maple Leaf Mountain City, and many instances where Gold Core Daoist Masters were needed. Even ng Zhang, as the Sect Master, often had to set aside his own cultivation to deal with various sudden issues.
Fortunately, on the other side of Taiyi Sect's Hundred Grass Slope, there were now a steady stream of cultivators at the Foundation Building stage preparing to break through to the Gold Core stage.
Currently, Taiyi Sect had the ability to provide various assistance to outstanding disciples in their attempt to reach the Gold Core stage, which should significantly improve their success rate.
Perhaps with the appearance of a new group of Gold Core cultivators, the current shortage of manpower in Taiyi Sect could be alleviated.
Of course, amidst the busy schedule, ng Zhang did not neglect his own cultivation. He carefully read various newly acquired classics, supplented his main cultivation techniques, and diligently pondered various ways to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage.
Yellow Lotus Sect's Saintess Xu ngying returned to Maple Leaf Mountain City not long after taking away the captured Daoist Master Smiling Lotus. A part of Yellow Lotus Sect's forces remained in Maple Leaf Mountain City, making it convenient for Xu ngying to contact ng Zhang.
This ti, she ca here to fulfill her promise. She inford ng Zhang that she couldn't return to Jiuqu League temporarily due to so matters in the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle. Nevertheless, she gave ng Zhang a jade pendant and provided him with a way to contact her.
Using this thod of contact, ng Zhang could secretly communicate with one of Xu ngying's trusted confidants in Yellow Lotus Sect and obtain the classics and Nine Heavens Refined Essence that Xu ngying had promised him. After conveying this matter, Xu ngying hurriedly left.
With a lot on his plate and being the Sect Master, ng Zhang couldn't personally handle every matter. Therefore, he entrusted this task to his senior disciple, Niu Dawei, and asked him to arrange for the Gold Core Daoist Masters in the sect to deal with it.
Not long after, Niu Dawei arrived in front of ng Zhang with two jade bottles and a pile of jade slips. The two jade bottles contained Nine Heavens Refined Essence, specially stored using a unique technique. In terms of quantity, even if used by two to three Gold Core Daoist Masters, it would be more than enough.
The pile of jade slips contained the classics that Xu ngying had promised ng Zhang. They were mainly about cultivation hundred arts rather than cultivation techniques.Actually, several Guardian Spirit Generals cleared out many heritage classics from the space within Void Cauldron. Besides Taiyi Sect's various heritage cultivation techniques, the majority of the content was related to cultivation hundred arts.
For Taiyi Sect, this pile of classics from Yellow Lotus Sect wasn't particularly necessary at the mont. However, one can never have too many classics. Each additional one adds to the foundation of the sect. Moreover, so seemingly unnecessary classics might prove to be of great use soday.
During the struggle with True Monarch Mountain Peak, Yellow Lotus Sect's Saintess Xu ngying ended up on the losing side. She was not only betrayed by her trusted followers but also pursued by Daoist Master Mountain Garden and others, nearly captured.
ng Zhang had previously underestimated her, thinking that her situation within Yellow Lotus Sect must be unfavorable. However, looking at the things before him, Xu ngying didn't even need to handle them personally; she could obtain these items through remote control of her trusted subordinates. It seed that she held significant power within Yellow Lotus Sect.
During the confrontation with True Monarch Mountain Peak, Xu ngying should be able to play a substantial role.
After carefully inspecting the Nine Heavens Refined Essence in the two jade bottles, ng Zhang confird that there were no issues, and they could be used normally.
For a Primordial Spirit True Monarch to obtain Nine Heavens Refined Essence from the Nine Heavens, luck often played a significant role. Being able to gather so much Nine Heavens Refined Essence indicated that the senior Primordial Spirit cultivators in Yellow Lotus Sect had expended considerable effort. This was the heritage of a Primordial Spirit sect that had lasted for thousands of years.
Primordial Spirit True Monarchs within the sect could provide various conditions to help their junior disciples overco various obstacles. The accumulation of these various aspects made it easier for the Gold Core Daoist Masters of a major sect to successfully advance to the Primordial Spirit stage.
Having obtained the Nine Heavens Refined Essence, ng Zhang temporarily set aside all sect matters and began to concentrate on closed-door cultivation. As he slowly absorbed and refined the Nine Heavens Refined Essence, his Cultivation Base beca purer and more refined.
Since he had previously consud many Golden Firm Nuts and strengthened his physical body, his absorption and refinent speed of the Nine Heavens Refined Essence far surpassed that of an ordinary Gold Core late-stage cultivator.
After Taiyi Sect gained control of Maple Leaf Mountain City, they gradually obtained quite a bit of information from the original intelligence channels in the city, which provided so general information about the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle. Though not particularly confidential, it was barely sufficient for Taiyi Sect's needs.
ng Zhang's most concerning news was whether the major sects in the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle had any significant reactions to the disturbance caused by their intrusion into the region inhabited by the demonic creatures. He felt a bit uneasy when thinking about leading many Gold Core Daoist Masters to forcefully enter that area and create such a commotion.
Although ng Zhang and his group had concealed their tracks well, leaving no clues, given the level of attention the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle paid to that particular region, he assud the various major forces wouldn't let it slide easily.
However, the actual situation turned out to be completely unexpected for ng Zhang. According to the intelligence received in Maple Leaf Mountain City, the major forces of the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle showed complete indifference to the incident. They only dispatched a team of Gold Core Daoist Masters to investigate the area occupied by the demonic creatures, and after a cursory examination, they took no further action.
Their arrival and departure were hasty, and they didn't bother to conduct a detailed investigation; it seed like they were just going through the motions, rely handling official business.
Although ng Zhang didn't know what the major forces in the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle were thinking or why they exhibited such behavior, the fact that they didn't cling to the matter or conduct a large-scale pursuit allowed him to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
