To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 929: Chapter 389 Ziyun’s Internal Troubles_3 Chapter 929: Chapter 389 Ziyun’s Internal Troubles_3 “Not only is our kingdom destined for ruin, but all of us, disciples of Purple Cloud Dao who wield the great power of a nation, will also not survive.”

“Should we perish, can Purple Cloud Dao, as the remnant, still be preserved?”

“I fear that by then, the enemies we once offended, such as Chu State, will follow suit, beating the dog in the water to avenge their grudge against us for obstructing their unification in Jiangnan.”

“At that time, the Dao inheritance of Purple Cloud Dao will truly be severed, and you and I will both be sinners of our sect.”

“On the contrary.”

“If Purple Cloud Dao were to take refuge under Chu State, sheltering under the banner of Chu State, then even if Chu State were to be defeated in the struggle for Central State and fall to conquest in the future,”

“I mean, Purple Cloud Dao and Feishuang Tao could distance ourselves from the affairs, removing ourselves from them in the name of Daoist Path.”

“At most, we would simply have to sever ties with those disciples in our sect who served Chu State and expel them.”

“Then Purple Cloud Dao could still be cleansed and preserved.”

“After all, though Chu State may fall, our Daoist Path still has Inborn Grandmasters, and on this point, the interests of the world’s Daoist Paths also align.”

“Those mortal dynasties would never dare to push things to extremities if they do not wish to incur the wrath of an Inborn from the Daoist Path, as well as the animosity of Daoist Paths across the world.”

“Xuan Chengzi seemed to remember something here, so he looked at Xuan Yu with a meaningful expression and said, “Moreover, you want to lead Ning Country to hold out to the bitter end.”

“But have you considered that even if we ally with Liang Country and have the support of Purple Cloud Dao, it’s still impossible to be a match for Chu State?”

“Don’t forget.”

“The six Qinghuang True Persons that Chu State has successively brought forth in recent times.”

“With all of the Nine Provinces’ cultivators having ascended, the emergence of six True Persons, who bear the same Dao names as the previously known Qingyunzi and Huang Xuan of Chu State.”

“Upon hearing the School Leader mention this, Xuan Yu’s expression turned unpleasant.”

“To ordinary mortals and those Inborn Grandmasters of the secular world, the appearance of the Qing and Huang lineages of True Persons might only signify that Chu State has gained six powerful innate forces of combat, all deeply associated with the King of Chu.”

“But for the disciples of Immortal Sects, Xuan Chengzi and Xuan Yu were deeply shocked by the crucial significance of this matter.”

“Because as more and more Qinghuang True Persons appeared, how could they not understand that these so-called True Persons were nothing but the avatars or puppets of the King of Chu?”

“This is the technique of Immortal Sects, deriving from some sort of Divine Powers.”

“And in this current Age of Extinct Spirit, to be able to conjure up eight avatars or puppets all at once and manipulate them freely, implies an exceedingly great interest.”

“This means that the King of Chu can continue cultivation and constantly enhance his Cultivation even in this Age of Extinct Spirit without Spiritual Energy.”

“This is evident from the fact that the King of Chu only had two avatars initially, but after the conquest of Tianluo Mountain, four more suddenly appeared.”

“Before and after, the King of Chu’s Cultivation must have soared.”

“Then the question arises.”

“Before defeating Ning Country, the King of Chu’s strength was, among all the Immortal Dao Sect Lords and the people, recognized as equivalent to that of Immortal Dao Sect Lords, which is to say, the cultivation of Gathering One Qi.”

“So what extent has his cultivation reached after such a breakthrough in advancement?”

“The King of Chu has already gathered two levels of energy (Qi)…”

“Despite how absurd it seemed, the reality was inescapable.

Having accepted it after a hard swallow, Xuan Yu was forced to acknowledge this fact which he was most reluctant to believe.”

“Yes, the Gathering of Two Qi.”

Xuan Chengzi’s expression was also complex.

The future interests of the Great Sect laid before him, forcing him to seriously consider, “The might and terror of a cultivator who has gathered the Two Qi, you and I should both be clear, right?

If everything is like what’s recorded in the ancient texts, then cultivators like you and I, before the King of Chu, are like martial artists below the Innate level before us, utterly incapable of withstanding a single blow.

Even if we could gather thirteen, or even more Innates, as long as the King of Chu personally makes a move, it would merely be sending ourselves to our deaths.

Even without the King of Chu lifting a finger, just relying on his avatars who possess cultivation comparable to the second realm of Innate, eight avatars acting together, eight second-realm Innates, would be enough to sweep across Jiangdong.

The gap above Innate is just too vast.

Resisting stubbornly will only result in a needless sacrifice, dragging our sect and those coastal aristocratic families to their collective demise.

You and I carry heavy responsibilities, bearing the expectations of the previous Dao masters, and must not commit such folly.”

Upon the mention of the previous Dao master, Xuan Yu’s face twitched, as he recalled that towering and elegant figure, and with the last trace of resistance dissolving in his heart, he sighed helplessly, “I understand.

I will personally persuade the others in our sect, and will not delay in taking action or fail to keep our promise to Chu State.”

“If my disciple thinks this way, then I am relieved,” Xuan Chengzi nodded in satisfaction.

Nowadays, the main proponents within Purple Cloud Dao for controlling Ning Country and establishing a Dao Country on earth were basically led by Xuan Yu.

If Xuan Yu changed his mind, under his leadership, it would undoubtedly influence a large portion, if not all, of the Dao Country faction’s disciples.

This was the reason Xuan Chengzi wished to speak with Xuan Yu.

By persuading him, he would have persuaded the entire Dao Country faction, and could bring Purple Cloud Dao back from the wrong path.

“Everything is for the sake of the sect,” Xuan Yu stood up, gestured with his hand, and spoke despondently, “The King of Chu can still cultivate in this Age of Extinct Spirit, I really don’t know what method he is using.

If the previous Dao masters were still here, and knew this method, they might not have been forced to leave.

Now ascending to the Immortal Realm, the path ahead is uncertain, and it’s hard to tell if the Great Dao can truly be found.”

Xuan Chengzi stood up as well and responded indifferently to the words, “Who knows?

However, even if the King of Chu can cultivate, presumably the method is extremely harsh and perhaps entirely unusable by others.

Otherwise, why is it that within Chu State, aside from him, no one else has been heard of cultivating Immortal Techniques?

Moreover, in this Age of Extinct Spirit, even if one can cultivate, the journey is undoubtedly full of hardships, and the path to immortality is hard to find.

At best, one can only prolong their suffering for a while longer.

The previous Dao masters had a chance for Ascension, at least there was a slim possibility of becoming immortal, and it might not necessarily be worse than the King of Chu hiding here in the mortal realm of Nine Provinces.

But with the King of Chu’s cultivation of Gathering Two Qi, his lifespan is a full three hundred years, twice that of us Innates, and with a kingship to hold, he can indeed be called carefree.

With such a mighty ruler in Chu State, not to mention anything else, at least a foundation for three hundred years is guaranteed.

Compared to the other Immortal Sects in Nine Provinces and the common dynasties they serve, it is already much stronger.”

“Yes, by allying with him, we at least have one cultivator who has gathered the Two Qi on our side, which is already stronger than many,” Xuan Yu sighed.

“Enough, let’s not talk about this.”

Xuan Chengzi shook his head and looked at his fellow disciple, “This time, the King of Chu wants us to cause an uprising, and he’s also offered the coastal aristocratic families the reward of their own fiefdoms to win them over.

I’ve already arranged to meet with Marquis Wuming to gauge his intentions.

You should hurry and persuade our fellow sect members as well, time is of the essence, we cannot afford to delay.”

“Yes.”

Xuan Yu bowed to take his leave.
