Meng Zhang knew that the foundations of large merchants such as Datong Merchant Alliance were within the Dali Dynasty.

Those in Jiuqu Province are just branches.

There seems to be no change in these branches, and they have always obeyed the rule of Taiyi Sect honestly.

But secretly, they must have a way to maintain contact with the mainland of the Dali Dynasty.

They obey their respective headquarters and will never truly surrender to Taiyi Sect.

If the time comes, they will become the vanguard of the Dali Dynasty's counterattack against Jiuqu Province.

However, Meng Zhang tolerated this situation out of fear of the Dali Dynasty in the past and only secretly strengthened his vigilance.

Now that Meng Zhang has become Yangshen, he must of course find a way to solve this hidden danger.

After Meng Zhang showed his cultivation and shocked Zhenjun Shang Han, he left on his own initiative.

Not long after he returned to Taiyimen Mountain Gate, Zhenjun Shanghan led a group of people from the south of Jiuqu Province and rushed to Taiyimen Mountain Gate to visit Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang personally received them.

This group of people, headed by Zhenjun Shanghan, are mainly the heads of major merchants in Jiuqu Province, as well as some high-level family members such as the Guyue family.

After meeting, Zhenjun Shanghan and others took the initiative to express their surrender to Meng Zhang and were willing to submit to the rule of Taiyi Sect.

Next, Zhenjun Shanghan and the others got to the point.

It turned out that on the territory of the Datong Merchant Alliance, in addition to being able to communicate with the senior officials of the Dali Dynasty, they also had a secret small long-distance teleportation circle that could directly lead to the mainland of the Dali Dynasty.

Although the Jiuqu Province has fallen, the Datong Merchant Alliance and others can still maintain limited communication with the mainland of the Dali Dynasty.

However, in the past, they strictly kept this secret and even used various means to paralyze the Taiyi Sect.

Since Meng Zhang's last visit, Lord Shang Han promptly contacted the mainland of the Dali Dynasty and obtained the latest instructions from Emperor Bawu.

The Dali Dynasty can forget about the past betrayal of Taiyi Sect.

The two families can maintain an equal relationship and normal business exchanges.

Datong Merchant Alliance and other branches in Jiuqu Province will become loyal ministers of Taiyi Sect in the future.

In addition, Zhenjun Shanghan also sent an invitation to Meng Zhang on behalf of Emperor Bawu, asking Meng Zhang to go to the capital of the Dali Dynasty for a gathering.

After the two parties meet in person, they can have a frank conversation and jointly decide the direction of their relationship.

Meng Zhang respectfully thanked Emperor Bawu for his invitation.

He lacks enough trust in Emperor Bawu.

If Emperor Bawu planned a killing plan, he would not be sure of escaping unscathed.

Don't look at it, Emperor Bawu has a good attitude now, and he actively expresses goodwill through business letters to Zhenjun.

That's because Meng Zhang became the Yangshen and had the strength to threaten the Dali Dynasty.

This is definitely not that Emperor Bawu has become soft-hearted, or that he is really that generous.

Neither Emperor Bawu nor Meng Zhang have too high requirements for each other.

None of them wanted to start a meaningless struggle and lose strength for no reason.

Now that both parties understand each other's meaning, it is enough.

There was also the Purple Sun Sect above him, and Meng Zhang was not willing to get too close to the Dali Dynasty.

The real king in the business letter took the initiative to reveal his contact with the mainland of the Dali Dynasty in order to express his sincerity.

Meng Zhang would not embarrass them, but would also maintain contact with the senior officials of the Dali Dynasty through them.

After this meeting, Meng Zhang did not stay at the mountain gate for too long before heading to the Tiangong.

Although Meng Zhang did not hold a celebration ceremony, and the Taiyi Sect did not make a big deal about it. But after so long, the news that Meng Zhang was promoted to Yangshen should have spread.

There are two treasures left by the ancestors of Taiyi Sect.

One is located in the underworld, and Meng Zhang obtained it with the help of Tai Miao.

The other place is located in the void outside the territory, and Meng Zhang still has no clue.

If it were in the Middle-earth continent, the Yuanshen sect with some strength would send the Yuanshen Lord to organize a team, or join other teams to go to the outer void to explore.

Tiangong and the major holy land sects actively support and encourage such behavior.

They will provide help and support in all aspects.

Those sects and individuals who have done well in exploring the outer void will also receive many rewards.

Many times, Tiangong will personally organize, led by the Void Returning Power, to conduct large-scale exploration and development of the outer void.

In the vast expanse of outer space, Junchen Realm is just a drop in the ocean, extremely insignificant.

By exploring the outer void, you can obtain valuable resources, especially those that are not available in the Junchen Realm. You can discover new worlds and open up new living spaces...

In short, in Middle-earth, where the cultivation civilization is the most prosperous and developed, exploring the outer void is a very popular, very beautiful, and hugely profitable thing.

Any sect or individual with some ability will actively participate in it.

Of course, exploring the extraterrestrial void is also a hugely dangerous thing.

There are countless dangers in the outer void.

All kinds of naturally occurring traps, all kinds of powerful and ferocious alien races...

Junchen Realm is in the void and has many enemies, and it has a mortal enemy relationship with some big worlds.

Once the exploratory team in Junchen Realm encounters an enemy team, a big battle is inevitable.

In fact, as far as Meng Zhang knows, in the void outside Junchen Realm, there are some hostile races from time to time, sending strong men to specifically pursue and hunt down the team of monks sent by Junchen Realm.

People like True Lord Yuanshen are nothing more than pawns in the outer void, who cannot even control their own destiny.

Monks in the later stages of Yuanshen can barely serve as high-level cannon fodder.

Yangshen Zhenjun is a somewhat capable fighter.

If you want to be able to truly protect yourself, you must at least have the power to return to the virtual realm.

Even though there are so many dangers in the outer void, they still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the monks in Junchen Realm to explore.

The reason is simple, the benefits are too great.

In the Middle-earth continent of Junchen Realm, similar stories often circulate.

A certain True Lord of the Soul, whose potential was exhausted and had no way forward, got some kind of opportunity while exploring the void outside the territory, regained a new life, and reached a higher level.

An ordinary Yuanshen sect accidentally discovered some high-level resources in the void. The entire sect benefited from this and was able to rise rapidly and dominate the world ever since.

…

If Taiyi Sect were in Middle-earth, they might have had the opportunity to participate in void exploration.

However, Taiyi Sect is located in the remote north of Junchen Realm, and has almost no communication with Middle-earth.

During the rise of Taiyi Sect, they faced life and death battles with few interruptions.

The True Monarchs of the Yuanshen in the sect are all caught up in various struggles in the Junchen Realm and cannot escape at all. They cannot leave the Junchen Realm on a large scale for a long time.
