TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1326: Chapter 524: Earth Dragon of Ten Thousand Auras Chapter 1326: Chapter 524: Earth Dragon of Ten Thousand Auras Another venerable guest arrived at the Dao Law Conference, immediately bringing glory to the entire Mi Yun Mountain; the anticipation among the many True Persons for the Immortal of Dongyang Mountain to lecture on Dao was palpable.

Wang ShiZhou, surrounded by a crowd of people, truly experienced the feeling of being a welcomed guest.

However, at the same time that Mi Yun Mountain bustled with excitement, thousands of miles away in Qingyang Country, the atmosphere had gradually become solemn.

Qing Mountain.

This mountain was originally Qingyang Country’s most prestigious, occupied by the largest Immortal Sect in the country, Qing Mountain Pavilion, as their sect residence.

But all this changed by the break of day today.

In the eyes of the ordinary disciples of Qing Mountain Pavilion, a True Immortal from Taiping Dao unexpectedly took over their dwelling, declaring the annexation of the entire Qing Mountain Pavilion.

And their own School Leader and many elders seemed to offer no resistance whatsoever; they complied and accepted this change quite docilely.

The reason was simple.

Apart from the Taiping Dao’s True Immortal that arrived, the School Leader True Person of Jintai Gate had also come along, expressing support for Taiping Dao.

It was common knowledge that Qing Mountain Pavilion, though nominally an independent Immortal Sect, in reality, was a branch derived from Jintai Gate, akin to a satellite division unrecognized formally.

Jintai Gate and Qing Mountain Pavilion were essentially one and the same.

Now, as Jintai Gate, their parental sect, did not oppose or prevent this, what could Qing Mountain Pavilion do as a dependent branch with its main support taken away?

Under the immense pressure of both Taiping Dao and Jintai Gate, a mere Immortal Sect that shrank within one nation had no room for resistance.

Unable to resist, the only option left was to accept.

However, in truth, many disciples of Qing Mountain Pavilion, even the elders and the School Leader, harbored little to no reluctance toward the takeover by Taiping Dao; some were even pleased with this development.

Think about it.

To be the School Leader or elder of a small regional sect seemed majestic, with hundreds of disciples clustering around you, seemingly invincible.

It looked good on the surface, but that was just an illusion.

In reality, Qing Mountain Pavilion was overshadowed by Jintai Gate.

Any external actions and diplomacy could not be decided autonomously; they had to be cleared with their superiors.

Essentially, Qing Mountain Pavilion was merely a puppet.

But that was not the end of it.

If Jintai Gate sent disciples over, no matter the cultivation level, even an inner sect disciple could outrank the disciples of Qing Mountain Pavilion.

If a direct disciple came, even the School Leaders and elders of Qing Mountain Pavilion had to bow their heads to them.

Given such a state of affairs, how meaningful could the role of their School Leaders and elders be?

The only real advantage may have been that, as local influentials, they could exploit their territory to gather numerous cultivation supplies.

But as disciples of the Immortal Sect, with their fixed monthly quota of cultivation supplies, the quantity might be less compared to what they could scavenge on their own.

However, Immortal Sect disciples, in addition to regular supplies, also had access to the powerful teachings of the sect, guidance from True Immortals, higher quality Cave Worlds, and the status of Immortal Sect disciples when abroad.

Taking all these into account, it may well be that the lot of a marginal sect’s School Leaders and elders was no better.

And this only compared to ordinary Immortal Sects with one or two Human Immortals.

Should it be a Grand Fairy Door with Earth Immortals, the disparity in treatment would be even more astonishing.

An inner sect disciple of a Grand Fairy Door, when outside, held a stature more prestigious than the School Leader or elder of a sect like Qing Mountain Pavilion.

And now, by pledging allegiance to Taiping Dao, every cultivator in Qing Mountain Pavilion, from the School Leaders to the common disciples, had the chance to switch alliances and join a great sect.

For these sects that had thrown in their lot with them, Taiping Dao offered rather generous terms.

School Leaders and elders of the level of Five Qi Towards Primordial, were all granted the status of direct disciples.

Those with Gathering Three Qi or above in cultivation were given the status of inner sect disciples.

Those with lower cultivation levels could become affiliated disciples.

In summary, Taiping Dao provided a place for the tens of thousands of disciples from Qing Mountain Pavilion, which could be described as extremely generous.

With such conditions, it was no wonder that everyone from Qing Mountain Pavilion was so eager and receptive to the idea of joining Taiping Dao without any resistance.

Even though, at a glance, for the peaceful annexation of Qingyang Country, Taiping Dao seemed to have paid a hefty price by incorporating 20,000 cultivators from both Qing Mountain Pavilion and Wind Thunder Fortress.

But for Taiping Dao, the cost wasn’t substantial.

Firstly, the majority of the newcomers, accounting for over 99% of the personnel, those affiliated disciples, were not really a burden to Taiping Dao.

For these individuals, the terms of treatment remained largely as they were originally, equivalent to the benefits they enjoyed as disciples of Qing Mountain Pavilion and Wind Thunder Fortress.

At most, since they had just joined and it was wartime, Taiping Dao distributed a couple of extra bonuses.

But for Taiping Dao, which had already occupied five countries and possessed vast resources, this was virtually insignificant.

A mere drop in the bucket.

Furthermore, these affiliated disciples were destined to be cannon fodder in the looming great battle.

They might die by the hundreds or thousands from a single shockwave during combat with True Immortals.

Even if they did not encounter True Immortals, in large-scale conflicts involving cultivators with Gathering Three Qi or even Five Qi Towards Primordial, those with one or two levels of energy would not make much of a difference.

Their main utility would be to draw enemy fire, drain opponent’s Divine Powers, and serve purely as a means of weakening and disruption.
