To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 764: Chapter 334: Cooperation between Dao Country_2

Although this possibility may not necessarily happen, it’s better to be prepared for a rainy day and take precautions as soon as possible.

‘In order to be prepared, I must not neglect the cultivation of Immortal Techniques.

After the cultivators from the Nine Provinces depart, I must hasten to absorb the remaining Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth in time.

By then, if I can cultivate the Five Qi Towards Primordial, even if I truly face the catastrophe of the collapse of Heaven and Earth, I will still have the power to protect myself.

Also, I must visit the Beiming Youdu in the future if I have the chance.

If the Nine Provinces are truly beyond saving, then that place will be my only way out.’

Lu Yuan thought to himself.

Although he has achieved longevity, the “immortality” he achieved only means that he can live forever without the interference of external forces.

If external forces occur, such as the destruction of the world, he will still die when he should.

So when the day comes when the Nine Provinces collapse, he can only choose the path that the cultivators of the Nine Provinces are choosing now – ascending to the Immortal Realm through Beiming Youdu.

Therefore, for this backup plan, he must maintain it in any case.

Starting the array formation, as Jinyun said, it requires a massive amount of Spiritual Energy to support it.

If it is to be used on the day of the collapse of the Nine Provinces, it is inevitable that the Spiritual Energy between Heaven and Earth will have already been exhausted, and there will be no excess energy left to start the array formation.

‘However, even without Spiritual Energy, my mana, purified and transformed from Spiritual Energy, should be enough to start the array as well.’

Once I have absorbed the remaining Spiritual Energy of the Nine Provinces, the mana I cultivate in my body should be enough to support the opening of Beiming Youdu once.

In this regard, there is no need for excessive worry.’

Lu Yuan felt relieved as he thought about this.

When he was lost in thought, Jinyun beside him did not know that the King of Chu in front of him had thought far beyond cooperating with Ziyun Dao and Ning Country to the emergency strategy for dealing with the future collapse of the Nine Provinces.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan’s fierce attitude and determination, this old Daoist felt joy and immediately praised him: “Your Majesty is right. The Coastal Aristocratic Family is decayed and weak, and the Ning Dynasty that relies on their support is just a withered tree sprouting new shoots, unable to last long.

Entrusting the fate of Yangzhou and the people of the world to the selfish Heavenly Son of Jinling is despicable.

Ziyun Dao doesn’t know the Heavenly Mandate, nor does it adapt to changes. Forcing themselves to be the enemy of Your Majesty is just seeking their own destruction.

With Your Majesty’s unparalleled heroism, you should sweep Jiangnan and unify the Nine Provinces.

Assume the mandate of Heaven, withstanding the tribulations of countless generations.

This great cause will benefit the people of the Nine Provinces.

We, Feishuang Tao, pledge our loyalty to the true Lord, to assist Your Majesty in unifying the world and purifying the universe.”

In the end, Jinyun stood up and bowed to Lu Yuan, completely putting aside the arrogance of the Immortal Sect, expressing his submission on behalf of Feishuang Tao.

This was not because he had no dignity, but simply to leave a way out for his own Dao inheritance.

After the cultivators of the Nine Provinces collectively ascend, the power that protects the remaining Dao inheritances of each sect will be lost.

Without decisive powers to support them, even if the various immortal sects still have some foundation and their sects can cultivate some Inborn Grandmasters based on their past accumulations.

But then again, which of the dominant countries in the world has ever lacked Inborn Grandmasters?

Without the cultivators who transcend martial artists, there will be an imbalance of power between the various immortal sects and the worldly dynasties.

Any dynasty that can gather the power of an entire province or country has already gained the advantage against those immortal sects.

By then, any independent power outside of the national system, if it cannot be integrated into the nation as a whole, will inevitably face an uncertain future.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It is precisely for this reason.

So before the cultivators of the Nine Provinces ascend, they begin to find a way out for their own Dao inheritances.

That is, supporting a country and integrating their sect into the country’s system, becoming something like a state religion to maintain their sect’s position after the ascension of the cultivators to the Immortal Realm.

In Yangzhou, Ziyun Dao has always been on good terms with the Coastal Aristocratic Family, and many disciples from their sect come from the aristocratic families. So it is natural for them to choose Ning Country.

Although Feishuang Tao also has some connections with the Coastal Aristocratic Family, their relationship is far from being as close as that of Ziyun Dao.

Therefore, even if Feishuang Tao tries to gain the position of state religion, it’ll be quite unrealistic.

After all, there cannot be two tigers on the same mountain.

With Ziyun Dao already in Ning Country, there would hardly be any extra benefits for the remaining Feishuang Tao.

If they were to truly merge into Ning Country, the fate awaiting Feishuang Tao in the future would either be swallowed up by the alliance of Ning Country and Ziyun Dao, or be forcibly suppressed and weakened to live forever under the shadow of Ziyun Dao.

Later on, they may even be pushed to compete with Ziyun Dao because Ning Country fears the power of Ziyun Dao and becomes entangled in a never-ending power struggle.

None of these outcomes are what Feishuang Tao wants to see.

However, the original circumstances were such that Yangzhou Ning Nation was dominant, and no matter how unwilling Feishuang Tao was, they had no choice but to accept their fate.

But things are different now.

Apart from Ning Country, there is also Chu State in Yangzhou now.

Moreover, the strength of Chu State has also reached the level of hegemony, and its rising momentum far exceeds that of the decaying Ning Country, which is sprouting from dead wood.

From the perspective of the chances of unifying Yangzhou alone, Chu State is evidently much more likely than Ning Country.

Even in competing for the future Central State, it seems that Chu State has a good chance.

After all, the geographical location of Yangzhou is right here.

Separated from the countries in the north by numerous mountain ridges and the Yangtze River, Chu State has ample time to recuperate and accumulate strength when there is chaos in the north.
