Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 597: Enters the city

With Jin Li True Monarch's strength, many forces want to win her over. She could easily capitalize on this and strive for the greatest benefit. Though doing so might be a bit unscrupulous and even betray the True Monarch Azure Mist, who once helped her out of a predicament, such behavior is the norm in the Cultivation World.

No matter how high one's Cultivation Base is, to survive for long, they must learn to weigh the pros and cons and adapt to changing circumstances. Of course, no matter how long the road, there will be an end to it. Even if one intentionally delays, by early March, everyone still arrives at Jiuqu City.

Standing at the bow of the flying boat, looking at the forward Jiuqu City, the members of Taiyi Sect, who are here for the first time, are all shocked. Some of the lower-level disciples are even stunned. Jiuqu City appears like an endless mountain, towering on the northern bank of Jiuqu River.

The entire city rises and falls, with its highest point exceeding a thousand zhang. In the sky above the city, flying boats are almost constantly taking off or descending from high altitudes. Great Wind City, a bustling commercial city, is already prosperous enough. However, compared to Jiuqu City, it seems like a small rural town.

As they approach Jiuqu City, all flying boats must slow down and proceed carefully according to regulations. The Taiyi Sect's flying boat, following behind the Lu Family and Gu Yue Family Cloud Boat, approaches Jiuqu City slowly. The cultivators on the flying boat have enough time to admire the magnificent scenery surrounding Jiuqu City.

In the nearby sky of Jiuqu City, teams of patrol flying boats occasionally pass by, carefully inspecting the incoming and outgoing boats. Within Jiuqu City, there is a Primordial Spirit True Monarch who usually resides, and the city is also concentrated with the elite cultivators of the entire Jiuqu League.

For many years, there have been very few cultivators daring to cause trouble in the vicinity of Jiuqu City. These patrol cultivators mainly maintain order and security, and they don't intentionally trouble the normal incoming and outgoing flying boats.

Great Wind City is a well-known commercial city within the entire Jiuqu League, and the Lu Family and Gu Yue Family that hold power in Great Wind City are even more renowned. After all, there are only a limited number of Primordial Spirit True Monarchs in the Jiuqu League, and the Gold Core families and sects are the backbone of the league.

The patrol cultivators around recognize the banners of Great Wind City's Lu Family and Gu Yue Family, and they signal from afar without coming to inspect.

The two Cloud Boats of Great Wind City, with Taiyi Sect's flying boats, slowly fly into Jiuqu City and land in a mansion within the city. This mansion serves as Great Wind City's residence in Jiuqu City, where official cultivators of Great Wind City usually stay when they come to Jiuqu City.

The mansion is vast, and from the sky, it looks like an enormous square. For Jin Li True Monarch, Great Wind City spares no effort to receive her hospitably, making her feel the warmth and thoughtfulness of Great Wind City.

The members of Taiyi Sect also receive a warm welcome, and cultivators from Gu Yue Family are specifically responsible for their reception. Meng Zhang and others are here for the first time in Jiuqu City, with no other place to go, so they naturally accept Gu Yue Family's kindness and hospitality.

After everyone settled down, Great Wind City arranged various activities. They planned to invite some guests and hold gatherings to take the opportunity to present Jin Li True Monarch to the outsiders and showcase the friendship with another Primordial Spirit True Monarch.

However, True Monarch Azure Mist had instructed his subordinates to keep a close eye on the movements at the residence in Great Wind City. Shortly after Jin Li True Monarch's arrival, he received the news. Although True Monarch Azure Mist didn't personally extend the invitation, he dispatched trusted disciples to invite Jin Li True Monarch to Azure Origin Sect's residence for a gathering.

Regardless of Jin Li True Monarch's intentions, she wouldn't refuse True Monarch Azure Mist's invitation. She readily accepted and bid farewell to the people from Great Wind City, then accompanied the envoys to Azure Origin Sect's residence.

As for the members of Taiyi Sect, True Monarch Azure Mist didn't pay much attention to them. In his eyes, Taiyi Sect was probably just an accessory to Jin Li True Monarch and lacked independence. Being underestimated by True Monarch Azure Mist wasn't necessarily a bad thing, as it meant the Taiyi Sect members had the freedom to act as they pleased.

Taiyi Sect brought a considerable number of cultivators with Sect Master Meng Zhang on their journey to Jiuqu City. The situation in Demon Wind Gobi had been peaceful for a long time, and the surrounding circumstances weren't as tense as before. With the high-ranking cultivators temporarily leaving the sect, it didn't have a significant impact.

In addition to bringing the esteemed Gold Core Daoist Master, Yang Xueyi, Meng Zhang also brought a group of low-level cultivators. Before setting off, Taiyi Sect had spent a considerable sum to purchase a Third Rank flying boat from Clever Machine Sect. Besides carrying the group, the flying boat was also loaded with many spirit materials.

This trip to attend Jin Li True Monarch's grand ceremony was not just for sightseeing; there were also important matters to attend to. With Jiuqu City being so bustling and with a rare opportunity to visit, it was inevitable to conduct some business.

Meng Zhang didn't expect Taiyi Sect, an outsider, to make a big impact in Jiuqu City. His plan was to secure a storefront to serve as a base for Taiyi Sect, which would be satisfactory.

The members of Taiyi Sect were well-received and arranged in a separate courtyard by Gu Yue Family. Additionally, Gu Yue Huaidie assigned some of the tribe members familiar with Jiuqu City to act as their guides.

Over a year ago, Azure Origin Sect had actively spread news of the upcoming grand ceremony and invited various influential forces to attend. To be qualified to participate in the Primordial Spirit True Monarch's grand ceremony, cultivators had to be either prominent figures within their factions or loose cultivators with formidable cultivation bases. These cultivators often lived scattered across different regions, and it wasn't always possible for them to gather together.

Jiuqu City was already a bustling metropolis, and this event brought together numerous visiting cultivators, including many high-ranking ones. The various Shang Families from Great Wind City seized this rare opportunity to conduct numerous commercial activities. Especially the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, a top-notch business guild within the Jiuqu League, prepared many events, including high-level auctions.

Under the guidance of certain individuals, countless private trading events were held among the cultivators from different regions.

As a secluded sect in Demon Wind Gobi, Taiyi Sect would naturally not miss this opportunity. Before sending a message to Jin Li True Monarch in Great Wind City regarding the details of the grand ceremony, Gu Yue Huaidie had also warned Meng Zhang about the upcoming trading extravaganza.

Meng Zhang had prepared a large number of spirit stones in advance for shopping in Great Wind City. On the flying boat, they had also loaded plenty of spirit materials, including some unique ones from Demon Wind Gobi and Endless Sea of Sand, to participate in the barter-based trading events.

Shortly after settling down, Meng Zhang and the other cultivators from Taiyi Sect left the mansion in Great Wind City and began strolling around Jiuqu City.
