TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1327: Chapter 524: Ten Thousand Furious Earth Dragons_2 Chapter 1327: Chapter 524: Ten Thousand Furious Earth Dragons_2 The battle had just begun when these individuals became the fastest to be consumed.

According to estimates from Yi Dancheng, if a war truly broke out with the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, it would not take two or three months for more than twenty thousand registered disciples to die off by over ninety percent.

In the end, probably only about one or two thousand would remain.

Or perhaps none at all.

Toward such cannon fodder destined to be expended, he was still very lenient.

Thus, after taking over Qing Mountain Pavilion and Wind Thunder Fortress, he immediately issued an order to increase the supply quota for these disciples.

He raised their treatment to more than three times the original.

Since these individuals wouldn’t survive longer than two months anyway, distributing what was originally six months’ worth of their quota in these two months gave him no loss or additional expenses.

These cultivators, originally meant to be cannon fodder in the internal struggles within Qingyang Country, could not escape their fate as cannon fodder, even after taking on the identity of registered disciples in a grand sect.

The logic is very simple: if small immortal sects looked down on them, how could a grand sect possibly regard them highly?

Even if they were accepted now, it was only out of courtesy and necessity for manpower.

Once they were used up, these consumables would naturally disappear.

As Lu Yuan’s avatar, Yi Dancheng naturally inherited the cruelty of the past Chu Emperor, viewing the loss of lives during wars with indifference.

Just numbers, not worth fussing over.

The fate of those registered disciples was thus settled.

The next echelon, Gathering Three Qi, also known as the inner disciples, had different treatment.

Currently, Taiping Dao was in dire need of usable manpower; the expendables with one or two levels of energy were useless, so they could be freely consumed.

But ascendants who had reached Gathering Three Qi represented a leap in strength and were somewhat usable; naturally, their treatment was different.

Yi Dancheng treated them as if they were his own disciples.

In Anyu and Great Eye Kingdoms, there was no shortage of people, but in the realms governed by Che Shidao like Xiaye and Jiuchuan, manpower was severely lacking.

Che Shidao had already contacted him, requesting Yi Dancheng to retain some competent disciples for deployment after the war to help establish systems in the two countries.

Over there, they were desperate for manpower; as long as someone had reached Gathering Three Qi, he was not picky—they were all needed.

Being avatars with the same origin sent by their original selves to carry out the hard and fatigue-laden tasks,

Yi Dancheng and Che Shidao shared a common enemy and assisted each other.

He naturally valued the requests from his old brother.

Therefore, in this war, Yi Dancheng had no intention of using these inner disciples as cannon fodder but wanted to save as many as possible for later use.

To put it quite frankly, if in this battle, too many inner disciples died,

even if Qingyang Country could be saved in the end, not having enough inner disciples would pose a problem for Yi Dancheng wishing to establish systems in Qingyang and Great Eye Kingdoms.

Hence, even if not for his brother, for his own future peace of mind, he could not allow too many to die.

Therefore, regarding the deployment of these inner disciples, Yi Dancheng only had them stationed within Qingyang Country, tucked within key strongholds, sheltering inside the protective mountain formations, and simply holding their ground using the formations.

After all, these ordinary inner disciples couldn’t play much of a key role in this grand war.

Hiding within formations, relying on the power of formations, a group comprising five or six Gathering Three or Four Qi inner disciples, leading a few hundred registered disciples, might be able to match the strength of a Five Qi Towards Primordial cultivator.

If they were deployed, then without hundreds of Gathering Three Qi or several Gathering Four Qi, they wouldn’t be able to confront a Five Qi Towards Primordial cultivator.

As cultivation progresses, the disparity between each great realm becomes increasingly vast.

In such a massive war, the role of these ordinary disciples is limited, making it meaningless to waste them needlessly.

It would be better to save them for maintaining public order in the future.

Letting them defend based on formations allows them to exert a greater effect.

Therefore, regarding this matter, Yi Dancheng specifically selected over one hundred key nodes of spiritual veins within Qingyang Country, configuring squads based on one Gathering Four Qi cultivator, five Gathering Three Qi cultivators, and two hundred Gathering One or Two Qi disciples for each group.

He dispatched one hundred squads to various selected nodes, setting up ritual platforms on-site, constructing formations, and establishing defense posts.

These one hundred groups of ritual platforms, once connected, would form a grand formation enveloping the entire Qingyang Country, known as the Ten Thousand Aura Earth Dragon Formation, capable of mobilizing the country’s earth energies to transform into dragon veins and defend against enemies.

This was a formation method Lu Yuan collected from ancient texts across the Jiuzhou realm, passed down and organized by him, still usable.

According to the texts, once deployed, this formation could transform the earth energies into a celestial dragon spanning three provinces; spanning nine provinces, it could transform into the king among dragons.

The celestial dragon is easy to understand—it’s simply the dragon vein embodiment with Human Immortal strength.

And the king among dragons can also be called the king among immortals.

In the Nine Provinces realm, during the ancient times, only the Three Emperors who practiced the Fortune Dao and several Human Emperors were able to be called kings among the group of immortals.

Without exception, they all possessed the strength of Earth Immortals.

In the Nine Provinces realm, the land of three provinces covered an area equivalent to a small country in the Immortal Realm.

The territory of the Nine Provinces was the size of three small countries.

This meant that a Ten Thousand Aura Earth Dragon Formation laid out by a small country could reach the level of an immortal formation and fend off general Human Immortals.

A Ten Thousand Aura Earth Dragon Formation created by three small countries could resist Earth Immortals.

The power of this formation was naturally extraordinary.

For Lu Yuan, he was planning to use this as his trump card and as the foundation of his confidence in confronting the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.

After all, the arrangement of formations by the three countries could give the Taiping Dao side another Earth Immortal-level dragon vein formation spirit.

However, due to the limitations of the formation, this formation spirit could not leave the range of the formation and could only move within the area covered by the formation, which was a significant restriction.

Yet, for the Taiping Dao, they did not need to take the initiative to strike; they only needed to defend their current territories and block the invasion of the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.

They simply had defensive needs, not offensive ones.

Thus, the defects of the formation spirit were not considered defects at all.

By comparison, having an additional Earth Immortal combat power could even influence the outcome of the battle for the Taiping Dao.

The importance of this formation thus need not be mentioned further.

Lu Yuan had already instructed Yi Dancheng to begin setting up the Ten Thousand Aura Earth Dragon Formation in the three countries west of Taiping Dao-controlled Southern Domain, namely Qingyang, Damu directly under the rule, and Anyu Country where Jintai Gate is located.

He planned to use these three countries as a base to link into one large formation and manifest a king among dragons.

However, setting up this formation required a lot of manpower.

Based on one hundred foundational points per country, three countries would require three hundred foundational points.

This formation foundational point, that is, a magic altar, the minimum requirement to maintain activation is at least five cultivators who have gathered Three Qi, along with one cultivator who gathers morale, to be sustainable.

This is the current configuration of small teams that Yi Dancheng has sent out.

However, he has added an additional two hundred nominal disciples who have gathered one or two levels of energy over this standard.

These disciples actually wouldn’t be much help.

But at least they possess some magic power and basic spells, and sending them to various magic altars to assist would still be viable.

Even somewhat darkly, at critical moments, they could be used to bear the brunt of formation backlash, serving as excellent buffering material.

This is the purpose of Yi Dancheng’s inclusion of nominal disciples in the teams.

When the formation operates at its peak, the burden on the cultivators maintaining each magic altar node is also very heavy.

Having more people to share this burden decreases the pressure they face.

As for whether those who come to share are capable of enduring this, that is no longer considered.

But even calculating based on the minimum configuration, to completely set up three hundred magic altars, Taiping Dao would need at least three hundred cultivators who have gathered Four Qi and one thousand five hundred cultivators who have gathered Three Qi.

Yi Dancheng, having incorporated cultivators from Qing Mountain Pavilion and Wind Thunder Fortress, urged them to consolidate; currently, they were barely enough to maintain the formation for Qingyang Country alone.

Although they could still muster an additional two hundred Three Qi and Four Qi disciples, it was not enough to complete the setup for Damu country.

For Jintai Gate in Anyu Country, there was no need to worry, as they had enough disciples to cover all the magic altars within the country.

But beyond that, there wasn’t much extra capacity to support elsewhere.

The magic altars in Damu country were still vacant.

Regarding this, Lu Yuan could only let Yi Dancheng first dispatch the surplus manpower to go to Damu country to construct whatever magic altars they could.

Then from his side, he would issue a conscription order to Bihu Palace and Xuan Turtle Mountain, the two vassal sects.

To draw sufficient manpower from these two immortal gates.

This is a war that affects the entire Southern Domain, and it’s unreasonable to expect all battles to be fought only by Taiping Dao and Jintai Gate.

Bihu Palace and Xuan Turtle Mountain must also take up their responsibilities and help share the burden.

That is the only reasonable way.
