Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 77: Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra

As the thunderous snoring suddenly disappeared, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence, where one could almost hear a pin drop.

Meng Zhang, realizing the perilous situation, didn't hesitate. He immediately activated the spirit tool "Concealment Gauze Cloth" and swiftly distanced himself from the ghost beast.

The massive ghost beast must have been in a deep slumber because even when it was suddenly disturbed, it couldn't wake up immediately and took a moment to react.

This moment was precisely Meng Zhang's chance of survival.

Before the ghost beast fully awakened, Meng Zhang had already begun his escape. By the time the beast regained its consciousness, Meng Zhang was about to leave the mysterious force field surrounding its body.

As soon as he left that area of mysterious force, Meng Zhang's speed surged to its limit. Ripples akin to water waves appeared in the air, spreading rapidly towards the distance.

Sprinting at full speed and fully utilizing the acceleration function of the Concealment Gauze Cloth, Meng Zhang unavoidably broke its invisibility feature.

However, he didn't have time to worry about being visible or not. His only goal was to escape as fast as possible, for he knew that mere invisibility wouldn't be enough to evade such a terrifying creature.

Indeed, Meng Zhang made the right decision.

As the ghost beast woke up, probably realizing that the precious bead on its head was missing, it immediately let out a deafening roar.

Whether it was the ghost beasts frolicking in the ruins of the palace or those roaming outside on the small plain, upon hearing the earth-shattering roar, they all trembled in fear, collapsing to the ground, shivering with terror.

This roar even caused Meng Zhang's Soul to tremble momentarily, nearly making him fall to the ground.

Exerting all his willpower, Meng Zhang managed to steady himself and continued floating away.

Oddly enough, that roar inadvertently helped Meng Zhang. With all the ghost beasts scared and lying on the ground, there were no obstacles in his path, and he no longer needed to detour.

After the roar subsided, Meng Zhang's speed slowed slightly but he kept moving forward at a high speed.

Angered by the roar, the ghost beast struggled to rise from the underground.

The entire small plain seemed to experience a massive earthquake, and the ground trembled violently.

As the beast's body emerged from the ground, the few remaining structures in the ruins of the palace were almost completely overturned.

Seemingly not the brightest creature, the ghost beast let out another earth-shaking roar.

Meng Zhang thought it would be the same as the previous one, but he quickly realized he was wrong.

Accompanying this earth-shaking roar was a shockwave spreading in all directions. A powerful shockwave approached rapidly and soon caught up to Meng Zhang.

The force of the shockwave cracked the Concealment Gauze Cloth in several deep fissures. Meng Zhang's Soul also shook, blurring his perception slightly.

Aware that his chance of survival was diminishing, Meng Zhang didn't slow down. Instead, enduring the discomfort, he used the force of the shockwave to accelerate further.

Within a short time from the moment the monster fully woke up, Meng Zhang had not only escaped far from the ruins of the palace but had reached the edge of the small plain, about to enter the passage leading to the gorge.

This time, the ghost beast seemed to have learned a bit and no longer roared randomly or unleashed indiscriminate attacks.

After gathering strength for a moment, the beast opened its enormous mouth like a small mountain and fiercely sucked in Meng Zhang's direction.

A powerful suction force came from behind Meng Zhang, anchoring his body in place and dragging him backward.

Meng Zhang's body jerked, and his figure seemed to lose all resistance, being sucked in by the ghost beast.

At the same time, another figure separated from the one just sucked in and floated rapidly forward. At this critical moment, Meng Zhang abandoned the spirit tool "Concealment Gauze Cloth" and performed a golden cicada shedding its shell technique, letting the assimilated spirit tool take his place and be sucked in by the ghost beast.

Seizing this opportunity, Meng Zhang's Soul broke free from the powerful suction.

The "Concealment Gauze Cloth" was drawn to the beast's mouth, and by the time it realized something was wrong, Meng Zhang had already escaped into the entrance passage of the gorge.

Even the widest section of the gorge's entrance passage couldn't accommodate the massive ghost beast.

Meng Zhang continued moving forward within the passage, and he could still hear the reluctant roar of the ghost beast from behind.

Meng Zhang knew he was temporarily safe.

After traveling a distance within the passage, several ghost beasts approached him.

Without the Concealment Gauze Cloth, Meng Zhang lost his ability to remain unseen and couldn't avoid these beasts.

He stopped and prepared to engage in a battle with them.

But an unstoppable force came, forcibly carrying Meng Zhang's Soul out of the Trial Ground.

This time, Meng Zhang's time in the Trial Ground had come to an end.

Back outside, after his Divine Soul returned to his physical body, Meng Zhang held the precious bead in his hand and examined it carefully.

He couldn't fathom how the bead was crafted; it was weightless and seemingly ethereal, something that even his Soul could pick up. With a slight squeeze, the bead shattered like a bubble.

A refreshing aura flowed into his body, flooding his mind with a vast amount of information.

After the bead disappeared, a pitch-black book appeared in his hand.

Meng Zhang sat cross-legged on the ground, absorbing and digesting the refreshing aura.

It took a long time, but he finally finished absorbing it and started sorting through the vast amount of information in his mind.

The content of this information was exceedingly rich, containing many aspects of cultivation.

After a simple organization, Meng Zhang obtained the greatest reward from this adventure.

Hidden within the information was a cultivation technique called the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra," a rare Yin-Yang attribute technique.

When Taiyi Sect's old Sect Master, Daoist Profound Spirit, divined Meng Zhang's spiritual root, he found it to be of the highest quality. Meng Zhang's constitution was best suited for cultivating Yin-Yang attributes.

Yin-Yang attributes were rather rare, and obtaining a suitable cultivation technique was extremely challenging. In this region known as the Endless Sea of Sand, there were scarcely any renowned Yin-Yang techniques.

Even the fallen Taiyi Sect lacked the resources to gather a substantial collection of them.

In the end, they only possessed a partially incomplete Yang attribute technique, the "Lesser Yang Qi Art," which barely suited Meng Zhang's body constitution. However, with his exceptional talent and understanding, Meng Zhang progressed rapidly in his cultivation using the incomplete technique.

Since the Taiyi Sect's relocation and reconstruction in this place, Meng Zhang became the most outstanding disciple in the sect's history, possessing the highest talent and fastest progress in cultivation.

Given his aptitude, if he were to cultivate a technique that matched his body's Yin-Yang attributes like the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra," his future would be limitless.
