Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 446: Dispersion

Golden Tiger Demon General, who hails from the Purple Gold Sect, is not the kind of wild beast without a backing. Both his experience and strength are extraordinary.

Dark Crow Demon General also comes from an extraordinary background and possesses profound inheritance, making him a formidable force in battle.

Earth Fox Demon General is the weakest of the three and holds no position before the two stronger beings. It is often used as a servant.

In the world of demonic beasts, it is natural for the weak to submit unconditionally to the strong. Earth Fox had no interest in meddling with Purple Gold Sect's affairs, and if not for the coercion from Golden Tiger Demon General and Dark Crow Demon General, it would have avoided this troublesome situation.

If these three had cooperated fully with Lion Demon General from the beginning, Flying Swan Sect would probably have been unable to resist, and the demonic army might have conquered the Endless Sea of Sand.

However, the internal strife among the demonic beasts within the Demon Wind Gobi was too intense to concentrate their forces, thus making them unable to pose a fatal threat to Flying Swan Sect.

True Monarch Tian Zhu and that Fifth Rank great power engaged in a gambling battle that spanned hundreds of years, using the Endless Sea of Sand as the chessboard and all the creatures inside as pieces. The Fifth Rank great power unleashed a secret technique, creating the sand monsters with the intention of overthrowing the Human Cultivation World in the Endless Sea of Sand.

The recurring disaster of the sand monsters became the greatest calamity in the Endless Sea of Sand, plaguing the lives of its inhabitants for many years.

In order to quell the disaster caused by the sand monsters, Flying Swan Sect expended a great deal of effort.

Though the Endless Sea of Sand is barren, it is the birthplace of sects like Purple Gold Sect, which follows the Primordial Spirit cultivation path. Flying Swan Sect, possessing almost all the resources of the Endless Sea of Sand, has seen limited development over the centuries. Not only has it failed to cultivate Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, but even the quantity and quality of Gold Core Daoist Masters are lacking.

Especially in recent centuries, Flying Swan Sect has been on a declining path, and its strength is far from its prime.

The primary reason for this decline is the constant attacks of the sand monsters, which greatly diminished Flying Swan Sect's elite members and eroded its potential.

True Monarch Tian Zhu could have accepted this outcome if it were only that. His purpose in supporting Flying Swan Sect was for his own gambling battle, not to make Flying Swan Sect become a Primordial Spirit sect like Purple Gold Sect.

However, the Fifth Rank great power from the Deadly Sea of Sand saw that merely relying on the sand monsters wouldn't be enough to overthrow Flying Swan Sect, so he turned his attention to Demon Wind Gobi.

This Fifth Rank great power is neither human nor demonic, and he harbors hostility towards both the Human Clan and the demonic race. When his sand monsters slaughter demonic beasts, he shows no mercy.

However, when he needs to use these demonic beasts, the Fifth Rank great power can abandon his prejudices.

According to Daoist Master Jin Li's knowledge, some demonic beasts from Demon Wind Gobi once went to the Deadly Sea of Sand and came into contact with that Fifth Rank great power. Subsequently, a large army of demonic beasts from Demon Wind Gobi invaded the Endless Sea of Sand.

Under the instruction of True Monarch Tian Zhu, Daoist Master Jin Li secretly made considerable efforts to help Flying Swan Sect deal with most of the pressure from Demon Wind Gobi.

Due to the complexity of the situation in Demon Wind Gobi, even Daoist Master Jin Li found it challenging to completely resolve this trouble.

Seeing these three individuals, Golden Tiger Demon General, Dark Crow Demon General, and Earth Fox Demon General, Daoist Master Jin Li stood up immediately, with a palpable murderous intent on her face.

Ignorant demonic beasts, daring to appear before me.

After Golden Tiger Demon General and the others approached, they felt Daoist Master Jin Li's unreserved murderous intent. Golden Tiger Demon General hurriedly shouted, "Daoist Master, we and that lion fellow are not allies. We have no connection with that evil being from the Deadly Sea of Sand."

The usually taciturn Dark Crow Demon General also added, "Daoist Master Jin Li, I am an old servant of the Great King, and I swear not to be associated with that evil being."

Having been in the Endless Sea of Sand for so many years, Daoist Master Jin Li was well aware of the history of Demon Wind Gobi. When Purple Gold Sect was still present, there was a Fourth Rank demonic beast ruling over Demon Wind Gobi, known as the Monster King. In the Cultivation World, a Fourth Rank Monster King had enough power to establish his dominance and rule.

However, due to the strong suppression by Purple Gold Sect, the Monster King found it difficult to expand his influence and could only remain confined within Demon Wind Gobi. Of course, Purple Gold Sect could not conquer Demon Wind Gobi, so they acknowledged it as the territory of the Monster King.

Later, the Fifth Rank great power descended from the heavens and somehow clashed with the Monster King. The result of the conflict was the fall of the Monster King and the severe injury of the Fifth Rank great power.

Without the rule of the Monster King, chaos erupted in Demon Wind Gobi, and various groups of demonic beasts started infighting and killing each other.

As a cultivator on the righteous path, it was Jin Li's belief that all demonic beasts deserved to die. However, as Golden Tiger and the others pointed out, they have always been enemies with Lion Demon General and had no intention of serving the Fifth Rank great power. If Jin Li were to attack them, it would only benefit that Lion Demon General.

More importantly, during the gambling battle between True Monarch Tian Zhu and the Fifth Rank great power, Jin Li was restricted in her actions within the Endless Sea of Sand, making it difficult for her to fully unleash her strength.

Having considered all this, Jin Li fell silent for a moment, then sat cross-legged, paying no attention to them.

Golden Tiger Demon General and the others breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to delay any further. They immediately flew into the black hole.

Once they entered, no one else came out.

It seemed that they were the last group to go in.

Jin Li didn't leave but sat with her legs crossed in mid-air, waiting silently.

The disciples of the two sects rested nearby.

A few days later, Mirage Secret Realm began to close again.

After confirming that no one else was coming out, the Refining Qi stage cultivators boarded their flying boats and set off on their journey back home.

Although Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect had lost many Refining Qi stage disciples, some of the hired cultivators proved their worth and earned the qualifications to join the two sects, which somewhat made up for the losses.

As for those cultivators who entered the black hole...

Meng Zhang, Gu Yue Huaidie, and Daoist Master Luo Ye followed behind Fei Jiang Daoist Master and Fei Yu Daoist Master, constituting the second group to enter.

When passing through the black hole, Meng Zhang felt a sense of dizziness and disorientation. When he recovered, he found himself alone in an endless void. It was pitch black all around, without even the faintest glimmer of light. An eerie silence prevailed, without any sound whatsoever.

Based on the description he had heard from Daoist Master Jin Li, Meng Zhang knew that he had entered the void.
