After breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage as a Gold Core completion cultivator, it didn't take much ti for ng Zhang to consolidate his Cultivation Base. Though he had just achieved the Primordial Spirit stage, his foundation was profound and his accumulation sufficient, allowing him to quickly stabilize his Cultivation Base and begin practicing at the Primordial Spirit stage.
With hidden killer moves up his sleeve, he had no fear of engaging with cultivators at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit stage. The commotion caused by his achievent of the Primordial Spirit stage was substantial, and practically all the cultivators in Demon Wind Gobi could sense it unless they were blind.
New Beast King Mountain currently boasted two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, so their disciples should be familiar with the celestial phenona that occurred when reaching the Primordial Spirit stage. Even if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they must have heard about it from their sect seniors nurous tis.
ng Zhang intentionally spread the news of his achievent to all corners of the Taiyi Sect, making sure he exuded confidence and readiness to face the challenges ahead.
However, he didn't rush to leave seclusion. Being newly at the Primordial Spirit stage, he had much work to do. Fortunately, he had obtained nurous scriptures from the independent space of the Void Cauldron, which saved him from the struggles that loose cultivators faced when exploring new realms.
Regarding what to do after entering the Primordial Spirit stage, the sequence of cultivation, and how to strengthen different aspects of his abilities, ng Zhang could find satisfactory answers in the records left by Taiyi Sect seniors who had achieved the Primordial Spirit stage.
Originally, his main cultivation technique was the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra," which deeply elaborated on the Yin Yang Grand Dao and suited his physique. However, the true core of this technique was the "Sun-Moon Avenue." When he achieved the Primordial Spirit True Monarch stage, he chose the Yin Yang Grand Dao as his fundantal Grand Dao.
Thus, his future cultivation in the Primordial Spirit stage would focus on the Yin Yang Grand Dao. Before the Primordial Spirit stage, cultivators mainly strengthened their physical bodies and refined the True Essence within their bodies. In the Primordial Spirit stage, the main cultivation task was to comprehend the Grand Dao of heaven and earth and master the power of Grand Dao.
After entering the Primordial Spirit stage, cultivators adjusted their main cultivation techniques. As long as they didn't choose techniques that were completely opposite, it wouldn't require much effort. ng Zhang selected a new cultivation technique from Taiyi Sect's inheritance called the "Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Transformation" as his new main cultivation technique. He didn't completely abandon the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra" but used it as an auxiliary cultivation technique.
Now that he had reached the Primordial Spirit stage, he could upgrade his previously learned Divine Abilities to Great Divine Abilities. ng Zhang had several Divine Abilities from Taiyi Sect's inheritance, and after completing the inheritance, he could find appropriate thods to upgrade them.
Among these abilities, the "Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword" and the "Sun-Moon Radiance" were the first to be upgraded to Great Divine Abilities. Shortly after he started cultivating the "Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Transformation," he also mastered another Great Divine Ability, the "Yin-Yang Escape." The Yin-Yang Escape was not only a thod for travel and escape but also a technique to defeat enemies.
With three Great Divine Abilities at his disposal, ng Zhang had a certain level of combat power even though he hadn't learned any Dao Techniques yet. However, he was still lacking a Fourth Rank magic tool, which was the main weakness in his current arsenal.
Most Fourth Rank magic tools in the Cultivation World evolved from Third Rank magic tools over ti, but ng Zhang's cultivation ti was relatively short, so his magic tools hadn't had enough ti to grow and evolve. His Yin Yang Spirit Gourd, for example, was still only a Third Rank magic tool.
Despite the excitent among his disciples due to his advancent to the Primordial Spirit stage, ng Zhang remained calm and focused on cultivating in seclusion.
The news of ng Zhang becoming a Primordial Spirit True Monarch quickly spread like a storm, and the surrounding forces of Taiyi Sect reacted differently. The major mbers of the Hanhai Dao League imdiately beca loyal to Taiyi Sect, severing their connections with the outside world.
The Yellow Lotus Sect's East River Branch and Fire Cloud Sect in the Endless Sea of Sand quickly reacted as well, shrinking their territories and returning them to Taiyi Sect without resistance. Facing a newly promoted Primordial Spirit True Monarch, these two forces had no power to resist.
So considered ng Zhang's advancent to the Primordial Spirit stage as a natural progression, given that he had already been a Gold Core late stage cultivator many years ago. However, those who understood the difficulty of achieving the Primordial Spirit stage knew how exceptional his feat was.
In Demon Wind Gobi, it was exceedingly rare to have a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, and many talented Gold Core Daoist Masters had fallen before reaching this stage. Even the Endless Sea of Sand, except for the ti during the Purple Gold Sect's rule, had not produced a Primordial Spirit True Monarch. During the Flying Swan Sect's rule, there was no Primordial Spirit True Monarch born in the surrounding vast areas.
ng Zhang's rise from leading a weak sect to breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage was truly unexpected. However, those who thought it was natural were mostly low-level cultivators or ignorant individuals who didn't comprehend the imnse difficulty of achieving the Primordial Spirit stage.
Nevertheless, those with insight knew that with ng Zhang becoming a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, the situation in Demon Wind Gobi was about to change drastically.
Many cultivation forces in the vicinity quickly reacted to the news. The major mbers of the Hanhai Dao League imdiately beca loyal to Taiyi Sect, severing their connections with the outside world. The Yellow Lotus Sect's East River Branch and Fire Cloud Sect in the Endless Sea of Sand also quickly shrunk their territories and returned them to Taiyi Sect without resistance.
ng Zhang's achievent of the Primordial Spirit stage was already known far and wide, and its impact was akin to a storm, sweeping across all directions.
Fire Cloud Sect is backed by True Monarch Profound Wind. However, True Monarch Profound Wind is an outsider and has many hidden motives when it cos to using Fire Cloud Sect. He doesn't wholeheartedly consider Fire Cloud Sect's interests. Since Fire Cloud Sect lacks the ability to control True Monarch Profound Wind, they naturally try to avoid conflicts with other Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
Both the East River Branch and Fire Cloud Sect voluntarily retreated and returned everything they had taken, which made Taiyi Sect stop pressuring them. Taiyi Sect had bigger enemies to deal with, and these two sects had powerful backers, making it challenging to completely crush them.
The other forces causing trouble in Demon Wind Gobi also beca quiet. They closed their doors and passively observed the changes in the situation.
New Beast King Mountain, Taiyi Sect's biggest enemy, also paused all actions and awaited decisions from their high-ranking mbers. Shortly after, all cultivators associated with New Beast King Mountain in Demon Wind Gobi received instructions from the sect. They stopped encroaching on Taiyi Sect's territory and maintained the status quo.
In addition, the cultivators from New Beast King Mountain who were operating in Jiuqu City also abandoned their plans due to ng Zhang's achievent of the Primordial Spirit stage. ng Zhang, as a new Primordial Spirit True Monarch, now belonged to Jiuqu League and automatically beca a Jiuqu League Senator.
Every Primordial Spirit True Monarch in Jiuqu League naturally becos a Senator, and the Senate is the highest authority governing all affairs within Jiuqu League. Even those Senators who are uninterested in Jiuqu League affairs have certain basic rights.
ng Zhang, as a new Senator, would naturally have people seeking his allegiance and passing information to him. Any proposal from the Jiuqu League high-ranking mbers concerning Taiyi Sect required prior communication with ng Zhang.
ng Zhang's Primordial Spirit achievent elevated his status significantly. His pure background and history made him soone that the Jiuqu League high-ranking mbers could trust. So of the Senators even considered trying to recruit ng Zhang.
However, mature and cautious cultivators would not act rashly; they would first observe ng Zhang's actions. If he beca arrogant and acted without restraint after becoming a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, he wouldn't be deed trustworthy.
The actions of New Beast King Mountain against Taiyi Sect over the years had already been noticed by the Jiuqu League high-ranking mbers. Both sides were watching each other carefully, and the situation had attracted significant attention.
ng Zhang was not in a hurry. He had patience and would wait for the right ti. Even if New Beast King Mountain pretended to be unresponsive, ng Zhang would patiently continue to wait.
In the anti, ng Zhang needed ti to practice new secret techniques and master more unique thods of the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs. He focused on cultivation during his seclusion, and he could clearly feel himself getting stronger every minute.
Visitors kept coming to the Taiyi Sect gate. Most of them were coming to inquire about the latest news and confirm ng Zhang's successful breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit stage. So guests arrived with valuable gifts, hoping to establish a relationship with Taiyi Sect.
However, at this mont, the visitors were mostly minor figures and not worthy of ng Zhang's personal reception. Taiyi Sect had arranged clever disciples to receive these visitors.
The important figures were still observing from afar and hadn't made their move yet.
Despite being in seclusion, ng Zhang was not idle and made several subtle moves. He knew his own limits and didn't let the Primordial Spirit stage get to his head. He understood that New Beast King Mountain's strength and foundation were still superior to Taiyi Sect's. Becoming a Primordial Spirit True Monarch only improved the situation but didn't fundantally change the problem.
Facing such a formidable enemy, Taiyi Sect needed careful consideration and perhaps even new allies who could participate in the struggle among Primordial Spirit sects.
