TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Not just those vassals.

Even the direct disciples of Taiping Dao, over these years, had lost two thousand in the Central Territory battlefield.

Even Qing Guanzi and Yi Dancheng, due to constant combat, had suffered some minor injuries and were not at their peak.

It can be said.

On the two battlefields of the Eastern and Central Territories, Taiping Dao had truly exerted its fullest efforts, and they were not slothful.

The death of twelve thousand cultivators, along with five True Persons, served as the best evidence.

Such casualties, even in the previous grand battle between the Nine Provinces Immortal Gate and the Qing Immortal Sect, were no less severe.

Bear in mind, it had only been ten years since the fighting started.

To have such heavy casualties in just ten years, it was hard to imagine what the scene would look like if the war were to drag on for several more decades, or even a century, until the final stages of battle.

It seems that all three fighting parties would not be able to withstand it.

In truth, Taiping Dao was already beginning to struggle to cope.

Originally, Lu Yuan only had ten Human Immortals at his disposal.

Now, with half of them dead, only five Human Immortals remained on the front lines, making the True Persons leading the troops increasingly scarce.

The scarcity of True Person commanders reflected on the battlefield, with Taiping Dao’s assaults becoming weaker and weaker.

Each breakthrough on the battlefield grew smaller and smaller.

Gradually, it became somewhat unmanageable.

Therefore, after capturing one country in the Eastern Territory and another in the Central Territory, Lu Yuan slowly had to slow down the pace of his attacks.

He could no longer attack as aggressively as in the early stage.

And for this move by Taiping Dao, even if it was seen by the Nine Provinces side, they couldn’t really comment.

After all, Taiping Dao was still a newly established sect, and their foundational strength was indeed weaker.

Now that so many had died, it was too inconsiderate not to allow them some time to recuperate.

Precisely because of this point, there had been the previously mentioned scene, where Lu Yuan and the three Formation Master holders of the Qing Immortal Sect sparred peacefully, each holding back in their strikes.

It wasn’t that neither side wanted to fight, but rather that both were struggling to do so.

Taiping Dao had suffered heavy casualties, and as the defending side, Qing Immortal Sect had also suffered significant losses.

Over these years, during their confrontations with Taiping Dao, they had lost five thousand disciples and two Human Immortals.

In their battles against the Nine Provinces Immortal Gate, they had also lost six thousand disciples and three Human Immortals.

The Nine Provinces Immortal Gate had suffered a total loss of ten thousand cultivators and five Human Immortals.

It can be said, all three sides were somewhat unable to continue fighting.

Now, on the various battlefields, all three sides consciously relaxed their offensive pace and began a brief period of recuperation.

The Nine Provinces Immortal Gate had already started urgently rallying disciples from the rear, with a new batch of five thousand reinforcements hurrying towards the front lines.

However, even with this new batch of reinforcements arriving, the forces of the Nine Provinces on the front lines would only number fifteen thousand.

A fair bit reduced compared to the peak of twenty thousand when the war began.

Simultaneously, the number of Human Immortals remained only at ten.

While there were no losses among the Earth Immortals, after fighting for ten years, facing off against the desperately fighting Song Xiren, the weakest cultivator of Heavenly River Sect, Huang Yuanxiu, was gravely injured in one battle.

He was currently severely wounded, his strength merely forty or fifty percent of his full capability, and he had to retire to closed-door cultivation at the rear, temporarily unable to participate in the battle.

Facing such circumstances, the eight Immortal Sects of the Nine Provinces had no choice but to urgently recruit disciples across their territories.

According to the messages passed down, they were expected, within three years, to urgently recruit ten thousand newcomers to the sect.

And in every subsequent year, they would maintain the pace of recruiting three thousand new disciples.

Besides this.

They also selected fifteen direct disciples with sufficient cultivation and exceptional contributions from the front lines, arranging for them to return to the rear, to begin their breakthrough to the True Immortal realm.

For Zhen Xuan, an Earth Immortal Seed, special arrangements were made within the Nine Provinces, assigning five countries’ resources to him, to aid in his achievement of Earth Immortal.

Out of the Twenty-one countries of the Nine Provinces Immortal Gate, aside from the recently conquered territory on the front lines which couldn’t provide resources during the war period.

Each of the remaining original countries was filled with people, almost all resources being exploited.

Clearly, the dire state of losing five Human Immortals on the front lines in ten years had alarmed the Nine Provinces Immortal Gate.

Whether for the sake of heritage or to replenish the high-level military strength on the front line, they were forced to find ways to compensate for their loss of strength.

To grow while at war was the reluctant choice they made.

Not just them, the Qing Immortal Sect was also desperately recovering its strength.

The Qing Immortal Sect originally had thirty thousand veteran disciples, but now, eleven thousand of them had perished, with five Human Immortals lost, just like the other two sects.

Such a loss, even with the size of the Qing Immortal Sect, was gradually becoming too much to bear.

Fortunately, before the war began, Song Xiren had urgently ordered the sect to recruit ten thousand new young disciples to replenish the front line losses.

Now, ten years later, these ten thousand newcomers had entered cultivation, reaching the realm of Gathering One Qi.

Though this realm was merely the entry to the Immortal Path and not very useful,

That was only for now.

Given another hundred years, under no-cost-spared growth acceleration, most could reach Gathering Three Qi, and by then, they could be used on the front line.

Even at the extreme, they didn’t need to reach Gathering Three Qi—if they achieved the cultivation of Gathering Two Qi and were stacked in numbers, they could still be put to use.

At the very least, they could maintain the operation of the great formations.

And as long as they could manage this, it was enough for the Qing Immortal Sect.

Thus, facing the current shortage of troops, after taking a breath, Song Xiren once again issued a decree, ordering the twenty countries still under their control to immediately begin recruiting new disciples.

In the future, they planned to consistently add new forces to the sect at the budget of five thousand new disciples each year.

He no longer wished for the ability to fully nurture these new disciples.

He just sought to cultivate as many usable individuals as possible in the shortest time.

Even if it was merely reaching Gathering Two Qi.

The attrition of this war was far greater than imagined.

The demand for cannon fodder was also increasing day by day.

For this reason, the Qing Immortal Sect, in order to survive, had no choice but to adapt and lower their recruitment standards for new disciples repeatedly.
