Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Since everyone believes that the Ghost Deity named Shou Zheng, whom Meng Zhang encountered, should be reliable as he is a senior fellow disciple in the sect and worth trusting. Next, with the help of this senior, they will try to suppress the tool spirit of the Void Cauldron.

In the ideas Shou Zheng transmitted to Meng Zhang, there was a ritual to summon his projection to the mortal realm.

With Shou Zheng's full cooperation, the ritual to summon his projection is relatively simple and easy to perform. There is no need for complicated procedures or many steps; just a few simple ones are enough to complete the ritual and bring forth his projection to the mortal realm.

The key to the ritual lies in offering some sacrifices, mostly items with spiritual essence. The higher the level of the offerings, the stronger the projection's power will be.

When Meng Zhang worshipped Shou Zheng in the past, he only used some ordinary and low-quality offerings, which were more symbolic and did not provide much power. Shou Zheng accepted this level of consumption, as he merely opened the passage to the Trial Ground according to the agreement.

However, the current situation is vastly different as they want to summon Shou Zheng's projection to the mortal realm. It is not easy to send a projection through the barriers between the two realms, and maintaining the projection's existence is also a challenge. Shou Zheng has emphasized that he also has significant enemies in the Netherworld and cannot expend too much power on this.

Therefore, if Meng Zhang plans to summon Shou Zheng's projection, he needs to prepare high-quality offerings. As the Gold Core sect, Maple Leaf Mountain City still possesses some accumulation in its treasury. Since this time, they are not summoning Shou Zheng's projection for combat purposes but only to prove Meng Zhang's identity as the Taiyi Sect Master, slightly lower-level offerings and a slightly weaker projection should suffice.

Meng Zhang personally went to search the treasury of Maple Leaf Mountain City and found several suitable offerings. Then, he and four Guardian Spirit Generals came to the chamber where the Void Cauldron was placed.

Standing in a corner of the chamber, Meng Zhang began performing the secret techniques taught by Shou Zheng, using hand gestures and chanting incantations.

After a moment, the offerings placed on the ground in front of him shook, and then they disappeared into thin air.

A black vortex appeared above Meng Zhang's head, and a faint human-shaped shadow leaped out of the vortex and appeared in the chamber.

The human-shaped shadow nodded to Meng Zhang as a sign of acknowledgment and then jumped into the Void Cauldron in front of them.

Both Shou Zheng and the Void Cauldron's tool spirit are senior figures in the sect, and Meng Zhang is unaware of what exchange took place between them inside the cauldron.

After a while, the human-shaped shadow leaped out of the cauldron again and took the initiative to speak to Meng Zhang.

"Alright, the space within the cauldron has been opened to you. You can freely access the items inside."

"Remember, you need to achieve Primordial Spirit as soon as possible to gradually refine this Void Cauldron and thoroughly master it."

The tone of Shou Zheng's projection conveyed an indescribable sense of exhaustion. Those few sentences seemed to have drained all his energy.

After speaking, without waiting for Meng Zhang to express his gratitude, the human-shaped shadow jumped back into the black vortex and disappeared along with it.

Meng Zhang and the four Guardian Spirit Generals glanced at each other and then stepped forward to carefully sense the changes in the Void Cauldron.

...

The tool spirit of the Void Cauldron still didn't pay any attention to Meng Zhang, but he could clearly sense that there was an independent space within the Void Cauldron that had opened up to him, and he could enter it anytime he wanted.

Meng Zhang called the four Guardian Spirit Generals, and one by one, they jumped into the giant cauldron.

Meng Zhang jumped into the cauldron first, and after a familiar feeling of dizziness, he arrived in an unfamiliar space.

It was a vast storeroom filled with numerous shelves, each holding jade slips and jade boxes. The floor was piled with many boxes, giving it a disorderly appearance.

Meng Zhang was surveying the surroundings when the four Guardian Spirit Generals arrived.

Seeing this storage room, the four Guardian Spirit Generals couldn't hide their melancholic expressions. On the eve of Taiyi Sect's main gate being breached, amidst the chaos, the remaining high-level members of the sect stored many items here that were difficult to take away.

The Void Cauldron, being a Fourth Rank magic tool, is a rare treasure, and its tool spirit is an astute and cunning individual. Unless the tool spirit is willing, even an ordinary Primordial Spirit True Monarch would find it challenging to collect this magic tool.

The items stored by Taiyi Sect are well protected, ensuring their safety. It will take a considerable amount of time to clear out this chaotic storage room and sort through the numerous items.

Meng Zhang approached the shelves and carefully searched through them. The scrolls were not too disorderly and had a certain order. It didn't take him too long to find what he needed the most.

In a specially crafted jade box, there was a scripture made of warm jade. It was the complete set of the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra," which recorded the entire set of cultivation methods from the Refining Qi stage to the completion of the Primordial Spirit stage.

In the corners of the jade box, there were also two jade slips. Meng Zhang casually picked them up and gently read them using his Divine Sense. These jade slips contained the cultivation experiences and insights left behind by senior fellow disciples who practiced the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra," including annotations and explanations from those who achieved Primordial Spirit through this cultivation method.

With this harvest from the jade box, Meng Zhang not only could complement his main cultivation method but also had the wisdom and experiences of his predecessors as references.

Although every cultivator will eventually walk different paths, and the higher the cultivation level, the greater the differences in individual paths, one should not blindly follow the experiences and lessons of predecessors. However, with these cultivation insights from predecessors, Meng Zhang could avoid many detours and hidden dangers.

To walk a unique cultivation path of his own, he needed to be well-informed and broadly absorb the experiences of his predecessors. Even if all other items in this storage room were abandoned, just the contents of this jade box would solve Meng Zhang's major problem and clear the biggest obstacle to reaching the Primordial Spirit stage.

Besides the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra" in this jade box, many precious heritage scrolls were stored here, some of which contained secret techniques to break through the Primordial Spirit stage left by senior Primordial Spirit True Monarchs. These were true invaluable treasures that only circulated among major forces and a few powerful individuals in the Cultivation World. Even if an ordinary cultivator spent an enormous amount of resources and paid a significant price, it would be difficult to obtain such teachings.

The four Guardian Spirit Generals were very familiar with this storage room and knew most of its contents. In the following days, Meng Zhang stayed in Maple Leaf Mountain City, reading the newly acquired scrolls, reevaluating his cultivation process, and, with the help of the four Guardian Spirit Generals, categorizing and transferring various items from the storage room into Taiyi Sect's treasury.
