TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1465: Chapter 571 Reveal the Hidden Cards_3 Chapter 1465: Chapter 571 Reveal the Hidden Cards_3 There’s no way around it, the Changqing Immortal Sect is afraid too.

Now that the relations between the two sects are so poor, if they were to send Yang Jihua over again, and Taiping Dao shamelessly took the opportunity to kill Yang Jihua…

Then the Changqing Immortal Sect’s successor, painstakingly cultivated over a thousand years, would be lost.

The Changqing Immortal Sect would also be facing the issue of discontinuity in succession.

Even if they won the upcoming decisive battle, without a qualified successor, it’s feared that the hard-earned victory might slowly fade away due to a lack of successors.

If it really came to that, Song Xiren probably wouldn’t rest in peace even in death.

Therefore, although doing so would exacerbate the relations between the two sects and make the situation within the domain even tenser,

The Changqing Immortal Sect didn’t send Yang Jihua out, but casually appointed a messenger to come and probe for information.

After all, war had already become inevitable.

They only needed to confirm when Taiping Dao would take action, what kind of personality the next School Leader had, and then bring back this intelligence for the sect to respond accordingly.

They needn’t worry too much about anything else.

On Taiping Dao’s side, they were well aware of this and thus treated the opposing messenger as a common one, not bothering to warmly chase the cold tail.

However, apart from the common messengers, Lu Yuan alone gave a grand reception to the messenger from the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, Zhen Xuan.

Upon his arrival, he was immediately invited to Lu Yuan’s Cave Mansion for a personal reception.

Inside the Cave Mansion.

Lu Yuan’s Cave Mansion, located on a scenic green mountain in Mi Yun Mountain, has many beautiful sights.

He chose a bamboo grove and entertained the guest with tea brewing in the courtyard.

Once the fragrant tea was ready and they had each been served,

Zhen Xuan, who had been absorbed in thought and silent since he came in, finally couldn’t hold back and spoke, “Taoist Lu, you’ve been in seclusion in these mountains all these years with no word escaping; I honestly thought you might emulate Venerable Yi and completely disengage from worldly affairs.

I was surprised that you invited me for the succession ceremony.

What matter prompted this exception?”

As Zhen Xuan finished speaking, his gaze was keenly fixed on Lu Yuan, waiting for a reply.

Lu Yuan knew what Elder Daoist was thinking and had no intention of being mysterious.

He simply smiled and said, “My Taiping Dao’s School Leader, having retired into seclusion, while has set regulations in recent years, never stated that after the School Leader enters seclusion, one mustn’t go out.

Previously, Brother Yi and I were unwilling to go out, solely focusing on the Tao, not wanting external matters to disturb our inner peace.

This does not mean that we can’t have contact with the outside world.

Moreover, when we retired into seclusion at that time, we said that unless we became Earth Immortals, we would not leave seclusion.

While this is a shackle, it is also motivation.

As long as this is achieved, the barrier can be broken through.”

Upon hearing this, Zhen Xuan caught the meaning in the other’s words, his pupils contracted, and he exclaimed, “Taoist Lu, have you reached the threshold and cultivated the Earth Flower Dao Fruit?”

The corners of Lu Yuan’s mouth slightly curved, as he released a bit of the restrained aura on his body.

The Earth Flower, which had been concealed above his head, bloomed open, startling onlookers.

The extraordinary aura of the Earth Immortal Realm couldn’t be faked at all.

Zhen Xuan had already seen this manifestation numerous times among many Jiuzhou Earth Immortals.

Now with a simple recognition, he knew it to be true.

Ɲονǥο.сօ

However, upon confirmation, he couldn’t help but feel bitter, “Indeed, with Taoist Lu’s innate talent, it would be unreasonable for you to have no progress in these four hundred years.

It’s only logical for you to have achieved the status of Earth Immortal now.

In the future, I must respectfully address Taoist Lu as a senior.

Since you have become an Earth Immortal, then Venerable Yi, who has been in seclusion for eight hundred years, must have also achieved Earth Immortal status by now, right?”

Over the recent years, Zhen Xuan and Yang Jihua’s reputations rose in the Changqing Domain.

Both had cultivated to the late stages of Human Immortal and were just one step away from the realm of Earth Immortal.

That was why there were rumors spreading about their impending breakthrough to Earth Immortal.

Under external adulation, they even garnered a nickname, the ‘Twin Truths of Changqing’, far outshining the past renown of Yi Dancheng and Lu Yuan.

They were seen as the next leaders of the Changqing Domain for the upcoming five thousand years.

And Zhen Xuan himself, influenced by this, while still able to maintain his core, inevitably developed some conceit,

Believing that even if he wasn’t as good as Lu Yuan, the difference was marginal.

But now, upon seeing the other’s true cultivation, he understood just how far his thoughts were from reality.

While he was still basking in the glory of the ‘Twin Truths of Changqing’ title,

The other had already become an Earth Immortal.

His title’s ultimate goal had now become Lu Yuan’s current starting point; the gap was so large that they were no longer on the same level.

And even more striking for him was that the first-generation School Leader of Taiping Dao, together with Qing Guanzi, an Earth Immortal, had built the present Taiping Dao’s Yi Dancheng.

Back then, the School Leader’s reputation and limelight even exceeded that of Lu Yuan.

Now that Lu Yuan had become an Earth Immortal, where could Yi Dancheng possibly fall short?

Indeed.

After he asked with mixed feelings, Lu Yuan nodded affirmatively, “Taoist friend guessed right; not just me, Brother Yi has now also achieved Earth Immortal status.”

Hearing this confirmed response left Zhen Xuan at a loss for words.

Lu Yuan had become an Earth Immortal, Yi Dancheng as well, and now coupled with Qing Guanzi, Taiping had three Earth Immortals.

Underneath them were nine Human Immortals.

Looking at this strength, compared to a thousand years ago, before the decisive battle of Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, Taiping Dao now holds no less power.

Their only disadvantage might be the lack of a transcendental powerhouse, without cultivators like Yao Baojuan and Meng Jianshan, who were in the late stages of Earth Immortal.

They fall short ever so slightly at the top of the power hierarchy.

However, likewise,

After that decisive battle, both Yao Baojuan and Meng Jianshan perished; in the current Changqing Domain, among the three Immortal Sects, there are no longer such grand cultivators who have the power to determine the outcome of a battle.

The strongest is only Changqing Immortal Sect’s Song Xiren.

But even Song Xiren, only a mid-stage Earth Immortal, at most, can contend with Taiping Dao’s three Earth Immortals and doesn’t have an overwhelming advantage.

In this regard, after offsetting Song Xiren, the Changqing Immortal Sect is stronger than Taiping Dao only by an additional Earth Immortal and a few Human Immortals.

This situation is not much different from that of the initial battle between Changqing Immortal Sect and Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.

Merely, the roles have been reversed.

Taiping Dao, after years of development, has successfully risen to power.

Meanwhile, Jiuzhou has declined after the war, becoming what Taiping Dao was back then.

‘So the current Taiping Dao, showing off their foundation, aims to ally with Jiuzhou to jointly confront Changqing Immortal Sect?’

At this thought, Zhen Xuan couldn’t help the idea from emerging in his mind.
