TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1423: Chapter 558: The Hidden Vein Divide Chapter 1423: Chapter 558: The Hidden Vein Divide Among the many disciples of Taiping Dao, the Inner and Outer Sect disciples, who were at the bottom, might not have noticed anything.

However, the true disciples and even more so the True Immortals could sense, to a greater or lesser extent, that there was an invisible barrier separating them from a closer relationship with the sect.

And this barrier was the hidden lineage disciples.

Indeed, with the successive emergence of Jin Qingyue, Lu Yuan, and the recently appointed School Leader Jade Brocade, who were all True Immortals, it had become known to the world that within the Taiping Tao Sect there was a hidden lineage unknown to others.

These hidden lineage disciples all possessed exceptional innate talent and extraordinary strength.

If they did not come forth, they remained unnoticed, but once they did, they were regarded as True Immortals.

And the higher-ups within the Taiping Tao Sect only trusted these secretive disciples.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have appointed these previously unknown hidden lineage disciples as School Leaders for two consecutive terms.

In fact, it might not have just been the last two School Leaders.

Given the wretched state of Taiping Dao when they first arrived in the Changqing Domain, without a single disciple below them, only a few True Immortals provided support.

It was hard not to suspect that the original sect of Taiping Dao had suffered some kind of catastrophe and had been destroyed.

And if the sect had been destroyed, then these disciples who had fled to the Changqing Domain probably did not wield identities that were entirely legitimate.

Most likely, they were Immortal Sect disciples specifically hidden in the shadows, responsible for reestablishing the Tao inheritance in the event of great disaster.

Such hidden lineage disciples were established by almost every Immortal Sect of any significant scale.

They aimed for the strategy of “a crafty rabbit has three burrows,” always keeping an ace up their sleeve.

Just like the Taiping Dao now, which quickly reestablished itself after the destruction of its original sect and laid down a significant foundation in the Southern Domain.

From this perspective, the likes of Yi Dancheng, Che Shidao, and Qing Guanzi were probably hidden lineage disciples as well.

Like Jin Qingyue, Lu Yuan, and Jade Brocade, they were from the hidden lineage and part of the same group.

As for the sect established by these hidden lineage disciples in the Southern Domain, it was nothing more than a shell constructed for the purpose of listing on the market.

Think about it.

Those hidden lineage disciples hailed from the Outer Territory, and they might even come from another Region Continent.

Indeed, after the rise of Taiping Dao, many were curious about this sect that suddenly appeared, especially the two major Daoist sects of the Nine Provinces and the Changqing Domain, who paid even more attention to this neighbor.

However, years of investigation by various forces didn’t reveal any major sects with Earth Immortals in East China Continent that had been destroyed.

Within a continent or a domain, the demise of any major Earth Immortal sect would be known to all, and its destruction would be enough to shake an entire continent.

If such a thing had happened, the Immortal Sects of East China Continent would have certainly heard about it.

Since they hadn’t heard anything about it, there could only be one answer: Taiping Dao was not an Immortal Sect native to this continent but had fled from another continent to seek refuge here.

Only this could explain why nobody had ever heard of Taiping Dao before.

Similarly.

Following this logic, one could also clearly explain why there was such an invisible barrier within the Taiping Tao Sect.

Those hidden lineage disciples who came from the same continent and were fellow countrymen naturally felt closer to each other.

They were the true “own people.”

And the Taiping Dao that was established in the Southern Domain was to those hidden lineage disciples merely an assembly of strangers from a foreign land.

Even if these strangers were disciples they had recruited themselves, they ultimately lacked that certain closeness compared to their countrymen.

And maybe even less so.

In the eyes of those hidden lineage disciples, were the people of Taiping Dao now truly considered part of their sect?

Let’s not forget, Taiping Dao was established by a group of hidden lineage disciples who had fled catastrophe.

They had not hesitated to leave their own continent, traveling to the far-off Donghua Continent, where they changed their names and forged a new identity, reestablishing a Taiping Dao.

Their purpose, was it not to evade their former enemies?

Since they were evading enemies, those enemies would certainly be searching for them.

Although Taiping Dao has escaped to Donghua Continent and even reestablished its Mountain Gate here, who can guarantee that those enemies would not find them?

It goes without saying the strength of an enemy capable of threatening a sect with such a powerful hidden lineage.

If those enemies were to come seeking them out, the current strength of Taiping Dao would stand no chance.

So, for these lost dogs.

The present was nothing more than a temporary rest.

If a formidable enemy were to come chasing, they’d likely once again abandon their current foundations and continue their escape.

In this way, Taiping Dao was nothing more than a disposable tool.

Its only function now was to use Taiping Dao to control the Southern Domain, and to use this territory as leverage to help the hidden lineage disciples who had managed to escape rebuild their strength and accumulate resources.

This was a tool to aid in cultivation.

For such a tool, the owner could not possibly invest any real emotion; at best, they would maintain it well when it was of use, and perhaps upgrade it in due time.

Nothing more than that was wishful thinking.

Thus, considering all this, the existence of an invisible barrier within Taiping Dao actually made a lot of sense.

The four thousand disciples within the sect, including Yang Xiuan and Yu Shipei, were also just tools, easily disposable when necessary.

So when Taiping Dao decided it was time for a change of School Leader, those from the hidden lineage would simply discuss it among themselves and make the decision.
