TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1461: Chapter 570 Arms Race_3 Chapter 1461: Chapter 570 Arms Race_3 At that moment, he was contemplating revenge.

Otherwise, why would he suddenly expand by twelve thousand disciples?

How could a small Taiping Dao afford to support so many people?

Both Immortal Sects, anxious and flustered, sent their Messengers to inquire about the reasons at Taiping Dao.

However, faced with their inquiries, Taiping Dao naturally denied everything.

The reason given was simply that the opportunity was too rare to pass up.

The disciples within the Changqing Domain could not be trusted, so they took this opportunity to recruit more disciples, to avoid future troubles.

At the same time, in recent years, there had been a significant loss of disciples due to expeditions, making it necessary to recruit more people to compensate for these losses.

Regardless of whether others believed it or not, once these reasons were given, Jade Brocade no longer met with the Messengers from the two sects and busied himself with administrative affairs.

Suddenly recruiting twelve thousand new people required arranging accommodations, assigning teachers, teaching appropriate techniques, allocating various resources, issuing tasks, and so on.

There was simply too much to do; he had no time to consider the opinions of outsiders.

What did it matter if the others did not believe?

Would they dare to start a war with Taiping Dao?

Currently, Taiping Dao was only recruiting disciples; this was an internal affair, and outsiders had no right to intervene.

As long as Taiping Dao did not initiate war, the other two families would certainly not strike first.

However, this action could easily cause unease in the other two families, prompting them also to react.

But speaking of which,

Even if Taiping Dao did not actively expand, wouldn’t the other two Immortal Sects expand their own influence?

Now, after seven hundred years of peace, the power of the Evergreen Immortal Sect had swollen to surpass that of both Taiping Dao and the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.

If the opposition’s growth was left unchecked, it would only be a few years before Taiping Dao and the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, even if they joined forces, would not be able to contend against it.

Under these circumstances, taking advantage of the fact that they still had the strength to fight, engaging in a decisive battle with the Evergreen Immortal Sect to curb their expansion was an inevitable outcome.

Considering the speed of the Evergreen Immortal Sect’s growth in strength, this decisive battle should occur within five to six hundred years and was a consensus among the three parties.

At this time, Taiping Dao’s expansion by recruiting more disciples could be seen as a result of the aforementioned reasons and also as preparation for the war five or six hundred years later.

The other two sects, in fact, did not need stimulation from Taiping Dao; they had probably already secretly prepared for expanding their sect’s strength.

Taiping Dao stepping forward now merely stripped everyone’s pretense and brought the matter into the open.

Thus, after seeing the attitude of Taiping Dao, the other two Immortal Sects immediately realized what Taiping Dao was concerned about.

Therefore, apart from leaving behind Messengers to continue trying to appease Taiping Dao,

Upon receiving the news, Evergreen Immortal Sect and Jiuzhou Immortal Gate followed Taiping Dao’s lead and immediately began recruiting disciples within their own territories.

Although by this time, the qualified disciples within the territories of the surrounding Immortal Sects had already been swept up by Taiping Dao.

However, those outsiders had always had poor relations with the two sects, and they did not expect to recruit from outside.

After all, with the large scale of the Evergreen Immortal Sect, spanning twenty-three nations, a single sweep could gather two to three thousand disciples.

Continuing to expand recruitment over a few hundred years, by the time the war started, they could muster up to thirty thousand disciples.

As for the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, although they had a very small territory, just six nations, they had the support from various factions outside the domain, giving them a considerable base for recruiting disciples.

However, given their capacity, they genuinely could not afford too many disciples; reaching ten thousand disciples before the war would be their limit.

By the time of the decisive battle, the situation would likely be ten thousand from Jiuzhou, twenty thousand from Taiping Dao, and then facing thirty thousand from Evergreen Immortal Sect.

On both sides, the number of lower-level disciples maintained a state of equally matched powers.

As for the high-level combat power, each would depend on their own methods.

Taiping Dao was confident in this regard.

And throughout the entire Changqing Domain, following the outbreak of the spy chaos in Taiping Dao and the subsequent recruitment and cleansing of disciples, an arms race had commenced among the three sects.

Everyone knew war was coming.

Everyone was anticipating that war.

Everyone was preparing for that war.

In this common understanding, the formerly friendly atmosphere among Taiping Dao, Evergreen Immortal Sect, and Jiuzhou Immortal Gate quickly faded.

Tensions between the sects grew gradually, a hostile and tense aura spreading throughout the domain.

The short-lived peace was already tolling its departure bell.

An atmosphere of an approaching storm weighed on everyone’s hearts.

And in this environment, above the Inner Sea of the Eastern Wilderness, the tumultuous Black Abyss Secret Mansion completely disappeared from Heaven and Earth ten years later.

Those who had gone exploring began to return one after another.

Of the two thousand six hundred plus disciples that Taiping Dao had been tricked into sending, or had sent voluntarily, only three hundred returned.

These three hundred all returned laden with treasures, and upon arriving at the sect, immediately five of them presented a large amount of treasures in exchange for contributions, applying for a breakthrough to True Immortal.

Facing these wealth-bringing disciples, even though he knew their gains were somewhat unnatural, far exceeding the norm,

Jade Brocade still chose to agree with a smiling face, and Lu Yuan even took out the qi fortunes of three nations he had cultivated, arranging to fulfill the needs of these individuals.

The main thing was to uphold honesty and trust.
