Chapter 666: Entering

Chapter 666: Entering

Meng Zhang and Extreme Sword Spirit General flew forward for several hundred miles, smoothly crossing the buffer zone and entering the core area infested by monsters.

This core area is not small, with a diameter of three to four thousand miles, and monsters frequently appear.

Upon reaching this point, they truly entered a dangerous territory.

Meng Zhang and Extreme Sword Spirit General hadn't ventured even ten miles when numerous monsters appeared ahead.

They were flying at a moderate altitude, only about a hundred yards or so.

Apart from occasional demonized birds colliding with them, there were also monsters leaping from the ground, charging towards them.

Without Meng Zhang needing to take action, Extreme Sword Spirit General casually released a few sword qi, annihilating all these low-level monsters.

Low-level monsters lack intelligence, driven purely by instinct. Once they sense living beings, they recklessly rush forward, ignoring their own lives. They won't cease until they tear apart and devour the living.

Meng Zhang and Extreme Sword Spirit General hadn't flown much farther, and they had already eliminated many low-level monsters.

The core area infested by monsters was filled with a strange vitality.

Various creatures existed here, but there were no normal beings.

All living beings had been completely demonized, turning into monsters of varying levels.

Among monsters, peaceful scenes were rare; they were almost constantly fighting and engaging in bloody battles.

This was also a means of growth for monsters. Low-level monsters grow into high-level ones mainly by fighting and devouring each other.

As they gradually delved deeper into this area, witnessing various scenes and combining the information obtained from the black market, Meng Zhang began to have some doubts.

Monsters don't spontaneously generate. The Grand Dust World is not a demonic realm; monsters are not easily born here.

Apart from summoned monsters from the demonic realm, the demonization of local beings is a major source of monsters.

All living beings in this area had long been demonized. While high-level monsters could be considered evolved from low-level ones, the origin of these low-level monsters remained a mystery.

Demonization is not immortal; monsters also have their own lifespan.

The rebuilt Taiyi Sect was only a Gold Core sect and, being newcomers, naturally faced exclusion and potential suppression from local powers.

Although the rebuilt Taiyi Sect might be more formidable than the current Taiyi Sect, its influence, direct territories, and the number of vassals were far inferior to today's Taiyi Sect.

Even the surroundings of Taiyi Sect's mountain gate couldn't be thoroughly cleared; they could only control an area within a few hundred miles.

Near the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate, other factions had established their own gates. Some forces openly hostile to Taiyi Sect might set up strongholds even if their gates weren't nearby, forming a siege posture and gradually squeezing Taiyi Sect's living space.

Meng Zhang had heard about these events from a few Guardian Spirit Generals before.

The rebuilt Taiyi Sect had indeed faced many challenges, subject to various restrictions, and had to be cautious in many matters.

At the time, with Taiyi Sect's strength, they could have easily swept the surrounding area, eliminated hostile sects, and uprooted the strongholds of opposing forces.

However, the Taiyi Sect's leadership chose a different path, opting for restraint.

Taiyi Sect endured, navigating through conflicts with opposing forces and striving to expand its living space.

Reflecting on these past events, Meng Zhang couldn't help but sigh. The rebuilt Taiyi Sect had a tough journey, facing limitations and having to carefully consider its every move.

The Sect Master of Taiyi Sect at that time must have lived a more difficult life than Meng Zhang himself.

Meng Zhang could understand the decisions made by the Taiyi Sect's leadership at that time.

Taiyi Sect was originally a group of survivors who had fled from the Middle-Earth Continent and had rebuilt themselves in the Great Transverse Mountain Range.

Even if not all the sect's leaders were overly cautious, it was unavoidable in a place where every sound and movement could be a potential threat.

If they had used force against local powers at that time, it might have stirred public resentment, making them enemies of major cultivation forces in the vicinity and possibly leading to a joint siege.

The leaders of Taiyi Sect at that time were striving for survival in a difficult situation, managing to pass down the sect's traditions despite the odds. It was truly admirable.

Thinking of these Taiyi Sect predecessors and the fact that he was about to enter the rebuilt Taiyi Sect's mountain gate, Meng Zhang couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

Along the way, they encountered various difficulties, and Meng Zhang and Extreme Sword Spirit General narrowly avoided being surrounded by large numbers of monsters several times.
