Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 588: Favorable turn

Everyone is a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, at the same realm, and Jin Li, the True Monarch, is truly not empty at all at the True Monarch Mountain Peak.

Jin Li, the True Monarch, achieved the Primordial Spirit without anyone knowing when and appeared promptly outside the Hundred Grass Slope. The people of Taiyi Sect, who had already been in despair, looked at Jin Li, the True Monarch, in the sky, filled with joy in the face of adversity.

Many cultivators relaxed immediately, even sitting on the ground.

Even Meng Zhang, who was already unable to move, struggled to sit up and looked at the scene in the distance.

This Jin Li, the True Monarch, really achieved the Primordial Spirit True Monarch without notifying anyone, causing so many people to worry and be afraid. If they had known that Jin Li, the True Monarch, had broken through to the Primordial Spirit cultivation base, they would not have been so desperate.

Of course, now Meng Zhang and the others are still far from being worry-free.

Jin Li, the True Monarch, showing up, may not necessarily make the True Monarch Mountain Peak retreat.

The specific outcome depends on how the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs resolve the situation.

We can only hope that Jin Li, the True Monarch, can make the True Monarch Mountain Peak wary and not continue to press forward but instead accept a favorable turn. After all, among the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, as long as there is no deep hatred or significant interests at stake, they usually won't fight to the death.

"I thought your master, Tian Zhu, was dead, and you became a bereaved dog. If you were smart, you should have fled from here early and gone as far away as possible."

"Unexpectedly, you still have the courage to stay here. How could it be that you think breaking through to the Primordial Spirit realm gives you the qualifications to challenge me?" said the True Monarch Mountain Peak disdainfully.

He seems to look down on Jin Li, the True Monarch, but in reality, he feels quite complex.

He knew Jin Li, the True Monarch, to some extent. Initially, both of them were subordinates of True Monarch Tian Zhu, but one was in the open, and the other operated secretly.

At that time, Jin Li, as a Gold Core Daoist Master, openly served under True Monarch Tian Zhu and worked around the Endless Sea of Sand and Deadly Sea of Sand.

Yue Feng, as a cultivator of the Yellow Lotus Sect Mountain Branch, was noticed by True Monarch Tian Zhu due to some fortuitous events and had been supported wholeheartedly by him.

After achieving the Primordial Spirit, True Monarch Mountain Peak seemed loyal to True Monarch Tian Zhu on the surface, but he had other thoughts in his heart. This was one of the reasons for his eventual betrayal.

True Monarch Mountain Peak seemed to be dismissive of the matter of betraying True Monarch Tian Zhu, but deep inside, he was still haunted by it.

Now, seeing Jin Li, another confidant of True Monarch Tian Zhu, he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

Facing True Monarch Mountain Peak, Jin Li, the True Monarch, was not feeling at ease either.

The fact that True Monarch Tian Zhu secretly nurtured Yue Feng as his pawn had been highly confidential, and Jin Li was initially unaware of it until later.

Regardless of the relationship with the sect or her contributions to True Monarch Tian Zhu, Jin Li felt that he should have been more devoted to her. However, she never expected that True Monarch Tian Zhu would secretly support Yue Feng to become a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.

When Jin Li was ordered by True Monarch Tian Zhu to contact True Monarch Mountain Peak, she, as a Gold Core Daoist Master, suffered a lot of grievances and was underestimated by the latter.

True Monarch Mountain Peak, whom True Monarch Tian Zhu had highly nurtured, betrayed him at a critical moment. At that time, Jin Li was not only shocked but also felt a strange sense of pleasure.

However, no matter what, Jin Li had been well taken care of by True Monarch Tian Zhu for many years. Achieving the Primordial Spirit True Monarch was also due to his guidance. Regarding Yue Feng, the traitor, there was no room for reconciliation, let alone any goodwill.

Now, True Monarch Mountain Peak's insolence further fueled her anger.

"The famous True Monarch Mountain Peak, is all you can do just talk?"

"If you have any ability, then show it."

"Enough of the nonsense, I'll be waiting for you above the Nine Heavens."

With her words still echoing, Jin Li, the True Monarch, soared into the sky, heading straight for the Nine Heavens.

When Primordial Spirit True Monarchs clash, if they don't deliberately control their power, it can cause great disturbances and spread devastating aftermaths, easily creating terrifying calamities in the surroundings. In the Cultivation World, such destruction is known as the 'Heaven-tilting calamity.'

Therefore, when many Primordial Spirit True Monarchs fight, they prefer to go above the Nine Heavens, where they can be unrestricted and freely engage in combat without worrying about collateral damage.

Seeing Jin Li, the True Monarch, actively challenging and flying up to the Nine Heavens, there is no way True Monarch Mountain Peak would back down in any aspect.

True Monarch Mountain Peak is relatively new among the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs of the Jiuqu League, having achieved the Primordial Spirit not too long ago. Compared to Jin Li, the True Monarch, who also recently achieved the Primordial Spirit, he is considered relatively inexperienced.

Without saying a word, True Monarch Mountain Peak followed Jin Li, the True Monarch, and flew up to the Nine Heavens.

Jin Li, the True Monarch, and True Monarch Mountain Peak were going to fight above the Nine Heavens. In theory, Daoist Master Smiling Lotus should have led the joint forces of the two sects and launched a fierce attack on the Hundred Grass Slope during this time.

Now, the Third Rank mountain protection great formation of the Hundred Grass Slope has been completely destroyed, and Taiyi Sect has lost its greatest reliance, making it the weakest moment.

However, Daoist Master Smiling Lotus seemed lost in thought, just standing there staring blankly at the sky.

The appearance of True Monarch Mountain Peak was shocking enough, and then another Primordial Spirit True Monarch showed up, engaging in a battle with True Monarch Mountain Peak above the Nine Heavens, leaving everyone stunned.

Before achieving the Primordial Spirit, Jin Li, the True Monarch, had interacted with many cultivators here, and Daoist Master Smiling Lotus was once defeated by her. He believed that after reaching the Gold Core stage, he would have a chance to defeat Jin Li, the Daoist Master, and erase his previous shame. However, to his surprise, Jin Li, the True Monarch, achieved the Primordial Spirit.

Feeling dejected and losing interest in everything, Daoist Master Smiling Lotus didn't know what to do. At this moment, a supervising cultivator from the Mountain Branch couldn't bear it anymore and flew in front of Daoist Master Smiling Lotus, quietly reminding him of the situation.

The battle was not over yet. True Monarch Mountain Peak and Jin Li, the True Monarch, were still fighting, and they could not stand idle and do nothing while their leaders were engaged.

Daoist Master Smiling Lotus should lead the joint forces of the two sects and seize the opportunity to attack the Hundred Grass Slope, completely annihilating Taiyi Sect. Perhaps, this would distract Jin Li, the True Monarch, and affect her actions.

Although Daoist Master Smiling Lotus also believed that Jin Li, the True Monarch, who had recently achieved the Primordial Spirit, was probably not a match for True Monarch Mountain Peak, one should not be overconfident. Anything could happen.

Reluctantly accepting the reminder, Daoist Master Smiling Lotus responded repeatedly, though inwardly, he cursed at the cultivators from the Mountain Branch for having ulterior motives and ill intentions.

Jin Li, the True Monarch, and True Monarch Mountain Peak were still locked in battle, with the outcome yet to be determined.

True Monarch Mountain Peak might be manageable, but if Jin Li, the True Monarch, were to win, it wouldn't be good for them to stay here. Although Daoist Master Smiling Lotus thought that Jin Li, the True Monarch, who had recently achieved the Primordial Spirit, was probably not a match for True Monarch Mountain Peak, one should not take any chances.

However, no matter how unwilling he was, the supervising cultivator had made it clear that they could not remain idle.

Moreover, the joint forces of the two sects and Taiyi Sect had been in a bitter battle for several days, and deep animosities had been formed. Seizing this opportunity to end it once and for all and completely destroy the enemy might not be a bad thing.

Under Daoist Master Smiling Lotus's command, the joint forces of the two sects began to form up, preparing for a new round of attack.

The cultivators on the Hundred Grass Slope immediately noticed the enemy's movements. They initially thought that with the appearance of Jin Li, the True Monarch, their side had a chance of survival. Unexpectedly, the enemy was still continuing their attack.

The mountain protection great formation had been completely destroyed, and the remaining cultivators inside the mountain gate were all heavily injured and had little combat power left.

Especially Meng Zhang and other top combatants in the sect, they could barely stand, let alone face the enemy.

Seeing the cultivators inside the mountain gate lacking fighting spirit, Meng Zhang struggled to take a pill, barely suppressing his injuries. He then stood up from the ground, flew into the air, and encouraged everyone, boosting their morale.

Wen Qiansun and Deep Earth Spirit General also took action, preparing to use talismans and the remaining formation flags to set up a temporary formation, providing some support for everyone.

The cultivators on the Hundred Grass Slope, despite their injuries, began preparing for battle.

Just as Daoist Master Smiling Lotus was about to lead the joint forces of the two sects in launching a new attack, an interfering party appeared.

In the sky, several figures quickly flew to the front of the joint army formation, loudly calling for Daoist Master Smiling Lotus.

Among these figures, the one in the front was Gu Yue Huaidie from the Gu Yue Family. Behind her, besides the Gold Core Daoist Master of the Gu Yue Family, there was also a Gold Core Daoist Master from the Lu Family of Great Wind City.

As members of the Jiuqu League, they knew each other and were neighbors. Daoist Master Smiling Lotus couldn't ignore them entirely.

With a few Gold Core Daoist Masters by his side, Daoist Master Smiling Lotus flew to the front of the formation and met with Gu Yue Huaidie and her group. The two groups of Gold Core Daoist Masters faced each other at a short distance in the air, sizing each other up.

Considering the close relationship between the Gu Yue Family and Taiyi Sect, they often interacted with each other. In recent years, there had been intense battles between Great Wind City and Taiyi Sect.

Daoist Master Smiling Lotus was well aware of the reason for Gu Yue Huaidie's visit.

In fact, Gu Yue Huaidie and her group had arrived here earlier and had been watching the battle from nearby. Initially, they had no intention of intervening, especially after the appearance of True Monarch Mountain Peak, they believed that Taiyi Sect was doomed.

Although they felt very regretful and unwilling, they could do nothing about it.

However, things changed when Jin Li, the True Monarch, showed up and engaged in a battle with True Monarch Mountain Peak above the Nine Heavens. This brought a new opportunity.

Gu Yue Huaidie was well aware that with Jin Li achieving the Primordial Spirit True Monarch, the situation had completely changed. After a simple discussion with her companions, they made a decision to help Taiyi Sect at this critical moment.

This decision was not only due to the interests between Taiyi Sect and Great Wind City but also a gesture of goodwill toward Jin Li, the newly-promoted Primordial Spirit True Monarch.

So, they appeared together in front of the joint army formation, preventing the two sects from launching an attack.
