TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1337: Chapter 528 Switching from War to Peace_2 Chapter 1337: Chapter 528 Switching from War to Peace_2 “For the current plan, perhaps it would be advisable to ask Master Huang for help and request him to rush more reinforcements here; there might be a chance to break through this formation,” he said.

Upon hearing this, the other True Persons also began to speak up.

Listening to the commotion around him, Ding Wanxuan’s expression turned stern as he exclaimed, “Has the mere emergence of a formation from Taiping Dao scared you all witless?

Why is everyone in such a panic?”

“We are frightened, True Person; please forgive us.”

Seeing Master Ding’s anger, everyone promptly ceased speaking and bowed, not daring to say more.

“Hmph.”

Ding Wanxuan snorted coldly.

Seeing that no one else spoke, he then said, “Master Huang must stay in the Western Territory to protect our rear and ensure our security.

This matter is crucial to the foundation of Nine Provinces and his duty is significant; we must not arbitrarily request his intervention, so do not bring this up again.”

He emphasized that point before continuing, “However, the establishment of the Earth Immortal formation by Taiping Dao is indeed a significant influence, already affecting the balance of power between us and them in the Southern Domain, and it must be addressed seriously.

I will seek counsel with Master Meng of the Purple Cloud Sect regarding this unexpected turn of events.

We, several Earth Flower True Men, will come up with a solution together.

You all need not concern yourselves with these matters…”

As he spoke, Ding Wanxuan glanced at the crowd and added, “Your immediate task now is to seize this opportunity and assist the Giant Spirit Sect in constructing an Earth Immortal formation on their territory too.

Taiping Dao has already taken a step ahead in terms of their own defense.

We cannot afford to fall behind at every step.

Taiping Dao has already secured their western defenses.

We must also preemptively secure the safety of our eastern entrance.

Do you understand?”

“Yes, we are aware,” they responded in chorus.

Master Ding nodded, then waved his hand and said, “Since you are aware, then proceed to act.

Now, I must go find Master Meng.”

“We shall take our leave,” said the True Persons, who quickly bowed and withdrew.

In a flash, as everyone withdrew, only he remained.

Ding Wanxuan pondered for a long time and eventually let out a deep sigh.

He then took a Jade Symbol from his sleeve, infused it with magic power, and activated it.

A beam of light shot from the Jade Symbol and shortly thereafter, a figure materialized before him.

In the apparition was a handsome middle-aged man—none other than the current School Leader of the Purple Cloud Sect, Meng Jianshan, one of the two Great Immortals of the Changqing Domain.

Once Meng Jianshan materialized, he looked at Ding Wanxuan and puzzled, asked, “Junior Brother Ding, why have you summoned me?

What has happened?”

“Brother Meng,”

Ding Wanxuan gave a bow before explaining, “The situation is thus…”

He then relayed the recent developments in the Southern Domain truthfully.

He concluded, “With the strength currently at my disposal, there is no possibility of urgently challenging Taiping Dao’s grand formation.

Next, whether to fight or to negotiate, I need guidance from you, Brother Meng.”

After listening to Ding Wanxuan, Meng Jianshan fell silent, not answering immediately.

Furrowing his brows in thought for a while, he finally sighed, “The situation in the Southern Domain has changed so rapidly, it’s truly unpredictable.

Previously, when Taiping Dao announced they had Earth Flower True Men, we really should have realized it then.

How could a Grand Fairy Door with an Earth Immortal be so easily dealt with?

In the end, it was because all of us were reluctant to give up the prosperous Southern Domain; we were blinded by interests, leading you to bring people here and create this deadlock.

Pure-hearted and unmovable like a mountain—our cultivation is still not enough.”

Hearing his elder brother say so, Ding Wanxuan hesitated and asked, “Brother, do you mean…

we should give up on continuing to vie for the Southern Domain?”

Meng Jianshan nodded, “Indeed, I do think that.

Since we can no longer take down Southern Domain, continuing to fight stubbornly against Taiping Dao will only bring needless deaths and no benefits.

Rather than persisting, it would be better to withdraw early.

After all, if we truly delve into it, we and Taiping Dao don’t really have much animosity.

It’s only in the past few days, due to the issue of ownership over the Southern Domain, that this conflict arose.

But this is merely a minor disagreement, not even amounting to a conflict.

Besides standing against each other, our members and those of Taiping Dao have never even had a small skirmish; we truly have not formed any deep grudges.”

“If we stop here and send someone to negotiate peace with Taiping Dao to alleviate relations, we might also avoid a war.”

“Brother, I’ve thought it through.”

“The Qing Immortal Sect can use the Southern Domain to cozy up to Taiping Dao.

Why shouldn’t we do the same and draw them to our side?”

“You must understand that as of now, the Qing Immortal Sect still dominates the Changqing Domain.”

“Even for the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, facing this sect, we can only just ensure our own survival.”

“Now, with us standing firm here, the Qing Immortal Sect, under pressure, has yielded the Southern Domain to Taiping Dao with the intent to use them to balance against us.”

“From this perspective, Taiping Dao’s quick establishment in the Southern Domain is partly due to our efforts.”

“Should they be sensible, they would understand that without us, Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, the Qing Immortal Sect would have regained control over the entire Western Territory.”

“At that time, could they still tolerate the existence of such a colossal entity as Taiping Dao in the Southern Domain?”

“Even without considering these long-term strategies, just focusing on the current benefits.”

“Giving up the Southern Domain was already the limit for the Qing Immortal Sect; they couldn’t possibly offer Taiping Dao more advantages.”

“But if they were to join hands with us, it would be different.”

“As long as Taiping Dao unites with us to destroy the Qing Immortal Sect, we could offer them more.”

“In the hands of the Qing Immortal Sect are the Northern, Central, and Eastern Domains; we could share these territories with Taiping Dao.”

“Even a split would be possible.”

“These benefits are foreseeable.”

“Together with Taiping Dao, we both find ourselves at a disadvantage against the Qing Immortal Sect.”

“When facing a strong neighbor, it’s a wise choice for two weaker parties to unite for self-preservation.”

“From this perspective, there’s also a need for us to cooperate.”

“So, regarding Taiping Dao, no matter how you look at it, their emergence—though it robbed us of the Southern Domain and blocked our path of expansion, much to our resentment—”

“Once you disregard that, their emergence also represents a great opportunity to break the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate and Qing Immortal Sect’s stalemate that has lasted thousands of years.”

“Without external influence and relying solely on us, even with the support of other Taoist sects, it would be difficult to defeat the Qing Immortal Sect.”

“Enduring this struggle, it might take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to determine a victor.”

“But now, with Taiping Dao involved, if we can win them over, our combined strength would at least balance, and we would no longer be at a disadvantage when facing the Qing Immortal Sect.”

“After allowing Taiping Dao to develop in the Southern Domain for two to three thousand years, and once one or two more Earth Immortals emerge from their ranks, the balance of power between us and the Qing Immortal Sect will be in our favor.”

“Then, when we battle the Qing Immortal Sect again and destroy it, fulfilling the long-standing desire to restore the great enterprise of the Nine Spirits Tao Inheritance, perhaps this generation might accomplish what our ancestors wished for.”

Meng Jianshan slowly articulated his thoughts, becoming noticeably excited when he spoke of reviving the Nine Spirits Tao Inheritance.”

“Ever since our ancestors ascended to the Immortal Realm, with the Nine Spirits Sect Tao Inheritance obliterated and the Nine Spirits Domain usurped by the Qing Immortal Sect.”

“Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, considering itself the main branch of the Nine Spirits Sect, has made its life’s work to destroy the Qing Immortal Sect, reclaim the Changqing Domain, and rebuild the Nine Spirits Sect.”

“This desire has been passed down from generation to generation and has now become almost like a faith, a kind of obsession.”

“And this age-old obsession has finally seen a glimmer of hope in the hands of Meng Jianshan’s generation.”

“Since we’ve already been unable to seize the Southern Domain, if we turn hostile against Taiping Dao now, forcing them to side with the Qing Immortal Sect, that barely visible hope might be completely shattered.”

“This is something Meng Jianshan cannot accept.”

“Therefore, to avoid such a scenario, and also for the sake of fulfilling the generational aspiration, making some temporary compromises and concessions, and using half of the control over the Changqing Domain in exchange for an alliance with Taiping Dao, are acceptable.”

Having heard Meng Jianshan’s reasoning, Ding Wanxuan was moved: “Brother, you make a solid point.

If Taiping Dao was wooed by the Qing Immortal Sect, we, the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, naturally can woo them as well.”

“Since we can’t defeat the opposition now, it might be good to try this path.”

“So, should we cease hostilities and then dispatch a messenger to negotiate peace with Taiping Dao?”

Meng Jianshan shook his head: “There’s no hurry for that.

Negotiating peace and joining forces with Taiping Dao are matters of great importance.

Let’s first consult with Friend Huang and discuss it with him.

Asking for their opinions and making a decision afterwards won’t be too late.”

Ding Wanxuan said, “Indeed, we should ask the other Taoist friends too; I was too hasty.

I’ll contact them right away.”

Meng Jianshan nodded, “That would be best.”
