But if Time were to pass for even longer, for instance, several hundred years more, Yao Baojuan would reach the end of his lifespan and perish.
Then, the Qing Immortal Sect would suffer the loss of yet another Earth Immortal, and the strongest one at that.
Without Yao Baojuan, the Qing Immortal Sect would have only three Earth Immortals left, compared to the four at the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, one less.
This had never happened before in the tens of thousands of years of conflict between the two.
For the Qing Immortal Sect, it was an unimaginable disaster.
Because this signified an imbalance of power between them, indicating that the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate had officially surpassed the Qing Immortal Sect in strength.
When we were stronger, it was already difficult to halt the aggressive expansion of the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
Now weaker than our opponent, wouldn’t they be able to annihilate us soon?
For the Qing Immortal Sect, this was hard to accept.
And the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate had indeed already demonstrated this point.
During these three thousand years of peace, they were the first to recover their pre-war strength, while their opponents were still weakened.
Therefore, the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate began to infiltrate the Southern Domain and started expanding within the Changqing Domain, displaying a strong aggressiveness and threat.
If not contained, letting the opposition acquire more territory and resources…

Given their rate of growth, it was hard to imagine just how powerful the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate would become.ονǤ0.сᴑ
This new round of decisive battle between the two was not least because Yao Baojuan and the many True Persons of the Qing Immortal Sect saw this coming.
They realized that if they didn’t do something, they would be at a significant disadvantage in the future and would ultimately be destroyed by the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
That’s why they made an early counterattack before Yao Baojuan’s death, while their own side still held some advantage.
In this great war, they actually did not seek to completely eliminate the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, but only to replicate the decisive battle of three thousand years ago, which would be enough for them.
As long as they could once again take down two Earth Immortals from Jiuzhou, even if they themselves lost two Earth Immortals, it would still be a gain.
Because Yao Baojuan, who was already determined to die in this battle, would not live much longer anyway.
To take with him the young Jiuzhou Earth Immortals, severing their future, was certainly a win.
Furthermore, the new generation of the Qing Immortal Sect had already been retrained and was growing up, many of whom were promising talents.
These individuals did not participate in this decisive battle, but rather were arranged by the Qing Immortal Sect to stay in the rear as the core force, defending their homeland.
After this generation died in the battle…
Within a millennium, a new generation would rise up and become Earth Immortals, carrying the sect’s new banner.
The new generation of Earth Immortals is growing up.
Then, the preservation of the Qing Immortal Sect’s Tao Inheritance for the next few thousand years wouldn’t be an issue.
Yao Baojuan, in dying, would also fulfill his greatest concerns and wishes and could face the ancestors and his Master after death.
By disrupting the rising trend of the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate before the imbalance of power, and replicating the decisive battle from three thousand years ago, they would restore the balance between the two sides.
this was the primary motivation for the Qing Immortal Sect to initiate this great war.
However, this move by the Qing Immortal Sect inadvertently also helped Taiping Dao.
If the outcome was as the Qing Immortal Sect hoped, then both they and the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate would lose two Earth Immortals each, and the ones to die might well be old powerhouses such as Yao Baojuan and Meng Jianshan, late-stage Earth Immortals.
Then the greatest threat that these two Daoist sects posed to Taiping Dao would instantly diminish by a great deal.
Within the same Great Realm, cultivators in the later stages could usually easily resist several initial-stage cultivators.
In more outrageous cases, they might even dominate over a dozen initiates.
Regarding Lu Yuan,
even if both the avatars of Yi Dancheng and Che Shidao, as well as his true self, all became Earth Immortals,
and with Qing Guanzi already at the Earth Immortal stage, Taiping Dao might have four Earth Immortals, essentially quadrupling its strength.

But even with such strength, if the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate or the Qing Immortal Sect were to send a late-stage Earth Immortal Grand cultivator, they would still easily overpower the Taiping Dao in a fight.
One person could suppress an entire sect.
This absolute disparity in strength was also the reason why Lu Yuan dared not provoke these two major Daoist sects.
There was no way around it— the gap was too large.
If you can’t win, you just can’t.
If you provoke them, you would just get killed.
He wasn’t looking to die, so naturally, he wouldn’t do such unwise things.
“After this battle, I estimate that Yao Baojuan, Meng Jianshan, and other longstanding powerful figures who only have a few hundred to a thousand years of lifespan left, will most likely sustain heavy injuries and fall prematurely due to the excessive loss of vitality in this battle.
Even among the newly promoted Earth Immortals of the two families, I expect one or two will perish.
In the end, the better-off sect may retain three Earth Immortals, while the unfortunate ones might have only two; or both might be left with only two.
And their respective Human Immortals would likely suffer casualties over half.
The two dominant powers of the Changqing Domain will see their strength halved after a single battle.
Our Taiping Dao, which initially had a gap of six to seven times their strength, would suddenly see the gap shrink to only two or three times.
And the strongest amongst the Changqing Domain would shift from being late-stage Earth Immortals like Yao Baojuan to mid-stage Earth Immortals from the intergenerational figures like Song Xiren.
Although a mid-stage Earth Immortal cultivator is still strong, their oppression over us is far less than that of a late-stage Earth Immortal.
They originally thought that even if their strength greatly diminished after the battle, having two or three Earth Immortals left in their sect, including a mid-stage, would still make their power several times greater than that of our Taiping Dao,
and we would still struggle to pose a threat to them.
And in a thousand years, we might have accumulated some strength, but they would have already restored their power in these two or three thousand years.
By comparison, they would still hold the advantage.
They would also be able to use this advantage to suppress us, and we would still find it difficult to threaten them.
It was with this mindset that they felt confident to engage in a great war without worry for the future.
But what they don’t realize is that the true foundation of our Taiping Dao lies in the expedited method of the Fortune Dao.
Now that we have the territories of five nations and even the name of the Southern Domain, our speed of gathering Qi Luck has increased exponentially compared to before.
When we only had three nations, it might have taken a thousand years for us to reach immortality through the Fortune Dao.
But now, with five nations and a domain, it would only take three hundred years for one of the three of us to become an Earth Immortal.
Within a thousand years, all three of us could achieve Earth Immortal status.
If we can seize this window of opportunity and, within the thousand years after this war, cultivate you, Che Shidao, and even myself to become Earth Immortals,
then the Taiping Dao may be able to take this chance to leap to become the Immortal Sect with the most Earth Immortals in the entire Changqing Domain.
Even though none of us four are mid-stage cultivators,
with the advantage of numbers, we could still hold our own without falling behind in contention with the other two sects that have yet to recover.
By then, we would truly unify the entire Southern Domain, and even advance to further expand our territory.
The power dynamics of the Changqing Domain would shift from the original struggle for supremacy between two powers, with one merely making up the numbers,
to a genuine tripartite balance of power, all competing for the Central Plains.”
Lu Yuan looked at Yi Dancheng as he spoke of the new strategy that he had formulated over the years, amidst the atmosphere of warfare between the two sects.
As the saying goes, the fall of one mighty whale gives rise to myriad beings.
The two major immortal gates within the domain are declining due to their battle for dominance, presenting a perfect opportunity for the Taiping Dao and others lying in wait, seeking a chance to grow stronger.
Lu Yuan was waiting for that moment.
