TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1254: Chapter 498 Changqing Situation_3 Chapter 1254: Chapter 498 Changqing Situation_3 But Jintai Gate, already on the brink of life and death, would never think this way; rather, they felt fortunate.

Because compared with the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, it was clear that my Taiping Dao was at a disadvantage, and Jintai Gate was also a weaker group.

After the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate destroyed Jintai Gate, the next force to border them would be my Taiping Dao.

Under the principle of ‘when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,’ Taiping Dao had no reason not to help Jintai Gate.

This was about forming an alliance that benefits both parties, where the weaker join forces against the stronger.

It was just like the Sun-Liu alliance.

To let Liu Bei be at the forefront, fighting Cao Cao to the death, Dong Wu was willing to cede Jingzhou.

To have Taiping Dao face the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate head-on, Jintai Gate should also be willing to cede Qingyang Country.

Let us border the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, confront the threat together, and fight side by side.

You can go and meet with the True Person from Jintai Gate who has come to our place later,

and have a good talk with him about cooperation.

If possible, make sure to have them stand with us, maintaining a united front when facing the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, to amplify our influence.

Also, you could try to contact the Changqing Immortal Sect and see if it’s possible to gather their support as well.”

Although they were all originally from the Jiuzhou realm, in a sense, Lu Yuan should be in the same camp as the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.

But origin does not dictate everything; interests dictate allegiances.

Now, his Taiping Dao wanted the lands of the Southern Domain, having set their sights on Qingyang Country and considering it their own territory.

And the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate was looking to infiltrate the Southern Domain, also eying Qingyang Country.

Both sides had direct conflicts of interest.

By comparison,

Jintai Gate was more likely to cede this territory in exchange for the support and protection of Taiping Dao.

Because even if Taiping Dao did not step in, they most likely wouldn’t be able to seize control of Qingyang Country.

Rather than letting Qingyang Country fall into the hands of Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, strengthening the enemy’s strength, it was better to hand it over to a potential ally to bolster their own camp’s strength.

It was the same case with the Changqing Immortal Sect.

The fact that they readily ceded Youxin Country was not only because they genuinely couldn’t hold onto the territory,

but also because they had the idea of supporting a rising new force to block the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate’s infiltration into the Southern Domain, while also helping to distract the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate in the south, thereby sharing their pressures on other fronts.

The Changqing Immortal Sect must have also realized that their decline was inevitable and were already starting to plan for the future.

Those territories which they could not control, they would rather hand over to others than benefit their rivals.

The Chu and Han contended and unified the world in four years.

At the end of Han, the Three Nations fought for a whole sixty years before reunifying.

A tripartite structure is far more stable than a duel for power.

The more factions involved, the more checks and balances, and the more entanglements.

The immortals of the Immortal Realm, having lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years, understand this principle well.

And Taiping Dao is the third force that Changqing Immortal Sect, is planning to support.

The Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, perhaps seeing this, therefore at this celebration, five Immortal Gates came together.

Their purpose, naturally, was to exert pressure.

However, their plans were undoubtedly doomed to fail.

Lu Yuan’s strategy had long been set in stone.

First, he would take Youxin Country, then Qingyang Country, and thereafter support the Earth Flower Avatars of Yi Dancheng and Che Shidao in becoming Earth Immortals, slowly cultivating more avatars.

Step by step, he would accumulate strength and eventually sweep through the entire Changqing Domain, preparing to ascend to the status of a Great True Person.

Now, several years down the line, the plan was progressing very smoothly.

Youxin Country had already been taken, and with Jintai Gate actively fostering good relations, the chances of taking over Qingyang Country, with the help of this local Immortal Sect, were also quite high.

Even the Great Eye Kingdom, which had been constantly purged and suppressed by Taiping Dao over the years, was facing increasing pressure, and the Six-eyed Lord had already shown some intention of relocating.

This long-term purge might just need a few more years of persistence before the adversary would give up on the Great Eye Kingdom and move elsewhere.

Then, Taiping Dao could also seize control of this nation.

With Qingyang Country, Great Eye Kingdom, and Youxin Country linked together,

Taiping Dao would leap to take control of three nations and rank among the Grand Fairy Doors.

With such a vast prospect, a future within easy grasp, just because of a threat from the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect and a camaraderie with a fellow countryman, did you think Lu Yuan would back down?

That would be far too optimistic.

This is a battle for the path, and no one would give in.

“Moreover, how much strength can the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect currently spare to deploy to this Southern Domain area?”

Lu Yuan was truly skeptical about the strength Jiuzhou Immortal Sect could spare.

Even the Changqing Immortal Sect, due to prolonged war pressure, could no longer control the Southern Domain area.

How much better could the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, being the weaker party, be?

So what if Taiping Dao didn’t give them face?

No matter how furious the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect was, at most they could dispatch one, perhaps two Immortals, who were merely at the Human Immortal Realm.

This level of strength wouldn’t even bother Jintai Gate, let alone Taiping Dao.

“Now I have also broken through the Human Immortal Realm and have become an Immortal.

The Earth Flower Avatar can also be dispatched to serve as a foundation for Taiping Dao.

A force with an Earth Immortal can completely serve as the third powerhouse of the Changqing Domain, bearing the responsibility of protecting the entire Southern Domain of the Nine Provinces and maintaining local stability.

As long as we can integrate the entire Southern Domain area, even if the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect loses its senses and truly declares war on Taiping Dao, I have absolutely no fear.”

Lu Yuan was ready for a major battle with the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect over the control of the Southern Domain area.

Initially, he wasn’t clear about the situation in the Changqing Domain, so his actions were much more cautious and conservative.

But now that he had seen the details and knew that the Changqing Immortal Sect actually supported his rise,

and that within the Southern Domain area, there were also many local Immortal Sects that similarly wanted to see Taiping Dao rise,

there was naturally no need to be so conservative; his actions could be slightly more aggressive.

If it really became necessary, the second layer of hidden cards, the Earth Immortal Avatar, could step forward as a deterrent.

As long as the true self remained hidden, it would suffice to stay secretive.

After all, the worst scenario

would merely involve the loss of three avatars, which he, the true self, was not prepared to present.

If this side lost, he could simply flee elsewhere, accumulate strength again, and return another day.

With an endless lifespan, Lu Yuan could afford this price and had time to spare.
