TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1428: Chapter 559 Severing Ties and Quiet Cultivation_3 Chapter 1428: Chapter 559 Severing Ties and Quiet Cultivation_3 Then, as the School Leader, he had to stay at the sect and wouldn’t leave easily.

This meant there were always two people who could not move.

Following the previous instance at Yi Dancheng, after resigning, he secluded himself at the Mountain Gate, and another True Immortal was wasted.

Now, Lu Yuan was doing the same, making Taiping Dao lose another usable True Immortal.

Currently, Taiping Dao had a total of eight True Immortals, and suddenly four of them were unavailable, leaving only four to be sent on missions.

You must know, Taiping Dao now possessed territories of seven nations.

Even if those four were all sent out, one to guard each nation, they couldn’t cover their own domains.

In such a situation, with Taiping Dao already short-handed, to cut off another arm—what kind of thought process was this?

He just couldn’t understand it, really couldn’t.

To Yang Jihua, a Taiping Dao making such a decision must be truly insane.

And to try to ally with such madmen, he himself seemed to have gone mad.

How could he possibly think of allying with these madmen?

With this thought in mind, after talking to Lu Yuan for a few moments and confirming that the other party really intended to resign and never come out again,

Yang Jihua completely gave up.

He also confirmed that there was indeed a madness running through all of Taiping Dao.

Otherwise, it was hard to understand why they would do such things.

So he left, disappointed.

Here, he hadn’t achieved his goal, and most likely Taiping Dao couldn’t be won over either.

His mission was a direct failure; how could he not be disappointed?

Lu Yuan watched him leave, seeing the dejected figure and smiling coldly to himself.

The conversation had been an intentional blow to the other’s confidence while also severing ties cleanly with Qing Immortal Sect.

By now, with his breakthrough to Earth Immortal, Lu Yuan finally had the power to defend himself in these troubled times.

And with his breakthrough, Taiping Dao now had four Earth Immortals, and soon there would be five, six.

Speaking a bit more aggressively, he now even had the strength to start a war with Qing Immortal Sect and even held some chances of winning.

He didn’t act now mainly because he wanted to wait for his cultivation to improve a bit more, to reach mid-stage Earth Immortal, to grow strong enough to defeat Song Xiren.

He would wait for Jin Qingyue and Jade Brocade to become Earth Immortals, further strengthening the top combat power, turning all potential into strength.

He would wait for the disciples under him to further expand, making the war machine of Taiping Dao even more substantial.

It was for these reasons that Lu Yuan hadn’t immediately moved against Qing Immortal Sect.

But not acting now didn’t mean doing nothing at all.

Now, making some strategic preparations for the future war was necessary.

Lu Yuan first brought up the misconduct Qing Immortal Sect had inflicted on Taiping Dao, explicitly stating the other party initiated the dishonor, and the fault was theirs.

Then using these faults, he directly erased the years of help that the other party had provided to Taiping Dao, thus eliminating any obligations.

Otherwise, if Taiping Dao acted against a benefactor, it would sound terrible once spread.

Outsiders might even rank Taiping Dao, together with Jiuzhou and Changqing as the third sect.

How bad was the reputation of those two sects in the outside world now?

Lu Yuan saw it very clearly.

He certainly didn’t want his Taiping Dao to end up like those sects, despised by the world.

Therefore, it was very necessary to establish the moral high ground first, to sever the relationship.

Firstly let the world know, it was Qing Immortal Sect that acted unjustly first, and then Taiping Dao, pressured by past kindness, chose to endure and swallowed the loss.

But by doing this, the favor was completely written off.

Having taken this step, if Taiping Dao fought against Qing Immortal Sect in the future, there would be no more psychological or moral burdens.

This seemed troublesome and old-fashioned.

But in an era where Immortal Sects in the outer Changqing Domain still cared about reputation, it was necessary.

As long as one did not want to sever ties with the world, these efforts for appearances were essential.

Lu Yuan hadn’t reached the point where he was invincible in the world; he wasn’t even a Heavenly Immortal, so of course, he wouldn’t rashly break these rules.

There was no benefit in doing so.

Fortunately, the Qing Immortal Sect wasn’t any good either; in recent years, they hadn’t acted decently and had actively reached out to Taiping Dao.

They also caused turmoil in Taiping Dao, making surrounding Immortal Sects aware of the situation.

They themselves provided Taiping Dao with an excuse, allowing Lu Yuan to easily make a separation.

I’m crying, what a good person he is.

As for beyond the separation, Lu Yuan voluntarily revealed that he wanted to go into seclusion, which meant keeping a low profile.

Now, Taiping Dao harbored many secrets; Earth Immortals were emerging one after another within it, and if this were exposed, it would definitely shock the entire Changqing Domain.

Even the entire Donghua Continent would be astounded.

After all, these were not one or two Earth Immortals but suddenly four, soon even six.

If this news spread, Lu Yuan didn’t know how the Immortal Sects outside the domain would react.

But the two Immortal Sects within the Changqing Domain would definitely be extremely shocked and then do everything to suppress and guard against Taiping Dao.

At that time, even if Lu Yuan wasn’t afraid, it would severely slow down the progress of his plans.

To avoid these troubles, it was necessary to hide before the formal start of the plan.

He and Yi Dancheng, as the School Leaders who were usually reluctant to, had to often interact with the outside world.

With the status of Taiping Dao, they might sometimes have to meet with other Earth Immortals.

For Lu Yuan with his Earth Immortal cultivation, concealing his status from Human Immortals who were a Great Realm below him wasn’t difficult and could be easily done.

But hiding from those of the same level, the same category of Earth Immortals, wasn’t so easy.

A slight carelessness would lead to exposure.

Therefore, to avoid this, he and Yi Dancheng both chose to enter Closing Door Cultivation after breaking through to Earth Immortal, hiding deep in the mountains and avoiding meeting people.

I’ve hidden myself away and don’t meet with people, so of course, there’s no possibility of exposure.

Handily, Yi Dancheng’s succession and abdication provided Lu Yuan with an excellent excuse.

Now following his abdication, he adopted the same practice directly, turning it into a system, creating a precedent.

This way, it directly masked the past, making outsiders unable to guess the reason and could only watch Taiping Dao going mad.

How perfect is that.

Even not just he and Yi Dancheng, but also Che Shidao, who had been stationed in Jiuchuan Country for years, had been hiding in the Water Mansion Dragon Palace, performing Closing Door Cultivation inside.

Beside showing up every few decades to make an appearance, there were no other actions, contentedly becoming a cultivator of hardships.

This was also to hide the fact that they had broken through to Earth Immortal.

For the sake of keeping a low profile and hiding their strength, Lu Yuan forcefully turned himself and many avatars into a bunch of homebodies.

All hiding at home, unwilling to show their faces.

Luckily, their stance succeeded in keeping them hidden, and even earned praise from the outside world.

Many people believed that each and every True Immortal of Taiping Dao was a true cultivator dedicated to the Dao, enduring solitude, enduring hardships, truly deserving of being called seeds of True Immortals, destined for greatness.

This non-contentious, single-minded cultivation, stable development stance, also allowed Taiping Dao’s reputation to grow rapidly in recent years.

This was something Lu Yuan hadn’t anticipated before and counted as an unexpected pleasure.
