TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1308: Chapter 516 Development Path_3 Chapter 1308: Chapter 516 Development Path_3 By now, the resources accumulated in the past were essentially exhausted.

The remaining resources born each year were also controlled by powerful sects, divided directly by the Immortals within those sects as soon as they appeared, never finding their way out.

It became normal for some lesser sects, which fared worse, to possess not even a single Immortal Artifact.

This was because they couldn’t find a way to collect those resources.

Even now, a sect possessing Immortal Artifacts could hardly say they would own them for long.

True Immortals all have lifespan limits, and it’s impossible for them to exist forever.

Immortal Artifacts naturally have usage lifespans as well.

Once these lifespans are exceeded, the Immortal Artifacts decay.

Or, if fate is less kind, and they don’t reach decay, the Immortal Artifacts could get damaged during fights their owners engage in, becoming prematurely scrapped.

Taking these realities into account, it is evident that crafting an Immortal Artifact in the Immortal Realm is not an easy feat at all.

It’s very, very difficult.

When Yi Dancheng had previously taken the Emperor’s Gold Blade from the Six-eyed Lord, in a sense, it was indeed a stroke of great fortune.

Under normal circumstances, if the Immortals of a sect do not possess Immortal Artifacts, those Demons with little heritage are even less likely to own any.

The fact that the Six-eyed Lord had one just shows that he truly had considerable fortune to come across such an opportunity to create a nascent form of an Immortal Artifact.

This is innate good luck, unattainable by envy.

Otherwise, how could this Demon become Immortal and monopolize a kingdom?

Achieving this is not merely a matter of ability, but fortune plays a crucial role as well.

In the Immortal Realm, the measure of a person’s strength partly lies in their Mana Cultivation and partly in their fortune, but there has never been a doctrine of strength alone.

Your power may be formidable, but what if a meteor falls from the sky?

If Heaven intends to strike you down, wouldn’t you be afraid?

This assistance, then, comes from Heaven.

Cultivation demands compliance with Heaven and response to humanity.

For those favored by Heaven, one naturally wouldn’t oppose them directly, maintaining a certain respect instead.

Otherwise, should Heaven place the blame on them, not everyone could bear it.

From this viewpoint, the mainstream cultivators today who possess Immortal Artifacts either have a rich heritage or are simply fortunate, neither of which is universally applicable.

This situation undoubtedly imposed considerable restrictions on Lu Yuan’s plan to extensively create Avatars.

He too wished to create as many Avatars as possible, but that requires a multitude of Immortal Artifacts.

Without Immortal Artifacts to serve as the Dao Fruit nascent form, how could there be any Avatars?

Even if Immortal Artifacts are available, they only ensure the creation of Human Immortal Avatars.

To create Earth Immortal Avatars, one would need Middle Grade Immortal Artifacts or higher.

This presents another limitation.

Lu Yuan’s three Avatars were barely capable of achieving Middle Grade Immortal Artifact potential, using up the last of the entire Nine Provinces Realm’s foundation.

This kind of method is not replicable.

Like the latter Emperor’s Gold Blade, it only had the foundation of a Lower Grade Immortal Artifact unless it received more cultivation, enhancement with more immortal-grade materials, undergoing an upgrade afterward.

For the rest of its life, it could only revolve around the Human Immortal level.

Considering these material limitations, the Avatars that Lu Yuan could create in the future were destined not to be numerous.

Otherwise, if this path truly had no restrictions, in the ancient ages of the Nine Provinces realm, the paths of Immortal Artifacts as Dao Fruits would have flourished long ago.

It might just be relegated to the Southern Border, where the strongest could at best claim the title of Human Emperor.

That’s unsustainable, consuming too much resource, was destined not to be widely promoted.

And with the depletion of resources, it would gradually weaken.

As Taiping Dao’s influence in the Southern Domain expanded, manpower also became scarce, and Lu Yuan had spent the last two years trying to collect some Immortal-grade materials but ultimately failed to find any.

He gradually realized the difficulties and returned to reality.

That is, the path of creating Avatars could only be conducted on a small scale.

Concentrate resources to create a few core Earth Immortal Avatars to lead the sect.

The remaining high-ranking ordinary roles, the usual Human Immortals, could raise some ordinary disciples to serve as regular fighters.

This would be the optimal solution for maximizing resource utilization.

It wasn’t necessary for him to control everything, just to control those few at the core of the sect handling the highest military power.

As long as the Earth Immortals were his people, some Human Immortal disciples, even if some harbored different intentions, faced with a power spanning a Great Realm, could not stir any trouble.

In the end, should Lu Yuan become a Heavenly Immortal and take control of the ultimate military power, the gap of two Great Realms would make his position as stable as Mount Tai.

No need to mention further.

Those disciples painstakingly trained by these sects, who eventually become Immortals and have the bond of previous mentorship, what are the chances they would betray their sect?

Not everyone is heartless.

These disciples, raised within the sect, educated by the sect, accessing the sect’s resources, surrounded by familiar fellow disciples and respected mentors, find the sect their home.

Who could betray their own home?

Even if there are such individuals, they would be a small minority.

If they really did, they would also have to face the world’s contempt.

The cost of betrayal is too high; with emotional bonds added, there is hardly any need to worry about betrayal.

Of course.

Lu Yuan wasn’t purely focused on quality over quantity.

He needed both quality and quantity.

Specifically speaking, at Mi Yun Mountain, the headquarters of Taiping Dao, the disciples here would follow a quality-based approach.

If not a True Immortal seed, they wouldn’t qualify to enter.

But in the various branch offices under the sect’s jurisdiction, the focus would be on quantity.

Recruit as many qualified disciples as possible to expand the number of sect disciples.

Then, from these qualified disciples, select the elite, the True Immortal seeds, to be sent to Mi Yun Mountain for focused cultivation.

Through this layered selection, a promotion system is built.

Taiping Dao would then have enough manpower available and wouldn’t suffer from resource dilution that impedes producing True Immortals, effectively killing two birds with one stone.

As for the potential downsides of this approach later on, that would have to be addressed as they come.

As long as Lu Yuan could control the topmost forces of the sect, even if mistakes occurred during development, corrections could be made directly.

With absolute power to suppress, there was no worry about loss of control.

In a world where great power is concentrated in an individual, having power is just so straightforward and practical.
