Lu Yuan secretly hated it in his heart.
He was very dissatisfied with Ziyundao's interference in the secular struggle for hegemony, and felt deeply that the other party was ruining his good deeds.
If there is no other party, relying on his current accumulation, he can unify the entire Yangzhou in up to ten years.
Now there is an additional Ziyundao.
Even within Ziyun Dao, many people will be promoted and their strength will be greatly reduced.
But with the remaining foundation, a Ten Thousand Years Sect is enough to double Ning Guo's strength.
Not to mention anything else, it would be no problem to use all the divine blood elixirs accumulated in Ziyun Dao to create three or five innate masters.
Even with the high-quality cave owned by the other party, it can now provide monks with spiritual energy, and it is estimated that the number of divine blood mutants that can be supported is even greater.
Even if you said that the other party could cultivate ten innates, Lu Yuan would not be surprised at all.
If all these information were used on Ning Guo.
This will undoubtedly make the great cause of unification of Chu State in the future create countless branches and add many difficulties.
What made him even more troubled was that Ziyundao chose Ningguo, but what about the other nine states?
There are more or less immortal sects in every state and region.
Have those immortal sects who are about to ascend made the same choice, intending to support a secular dynasty in order to safeguard the interests of their sects after their ascension?
"I never thought that Ziyun Dao would ignore the differences between immortals and mortals and blatantly intervene in the world's fight for dragons. He didn't care at all about the dignity of the Immortal Sect."
Lu Yuan's expression changed for a while, and finally he sighed, but his face soon turned into determination: "But even so, for the sake of the common people in the world, and for the common people of Yangzhou, I still want to defeat Ning State.
If Ziyundao wants to collude with Ning Guo, he is on Gu's road.
Then he must raise his sword and destroy the mountains and temples, completely annihilating the Tianluo orthodoxy. "
Lu Yuan's words were fierce and murderous intent was evident in his body.
Although he was afraid of Ziyundao, he was just worried that the other party's Wanzai sect might not have any heritage left by the ancient immortals.
But in this age of Dharma-ending, even if there is any heritage left, you must have enough spiritual energy to use it all.
Nowadays, all the cultivators in Kyushu are preparing to achieve a world-wide ascension. If nothing unexpected happens, when the Northern Underworld Capital is activated, the last trace of active spiritual energy in the Kyushu world will be completely drained.
At that time, this world will be a truly soulless place, completely insulated from the extraordinary.
Unless, like Lu Yuan, he could use the Heavenly Pillar of Luck to stir up the remaining spiritual energy of death at the deepest level of the world to maintain his cultivation.
Otherwise, any monk will lose the source of spiritual energy.
Not to mention being unable to practice, even if there are any inherited magic weapons in the door, they will be completely unusable due to the loss of spiritual energy.
Not right either.
The magic weapon is natural and extraordinary.
Perhaps due to its strong and sharp nature, it can also be used as a magical weapon, and it can also be chased by mortals after the end of the law.
But if it stopped there, it would naturally not be able to threaten Lu Yuan.
For it.
As long as he waits a little longer and survives for more than ten years to make further breakthroughs in his own Taoism, and after the Chu State's foundation is further strengthened, and with a little effort, the alliance between Ziyun Dao and Ning Country can still be resolved.
But in that case, there would be more fighting and sacrifices within Yangzhou than originally expected.
The war will be more violent and the chaos will last longer, which will further damage Yangzhou's heritage.
This is undoubtedly unfavorable to Lu Yuan's rudimentary strategy of accumulating strength after unifying Yangzhou and moving towards Zhongzhou, the only pure land in the future.
After all, the future Zhongzhou will involve the entire Nine Provinces and Ten Regions, with hundreds of millions of people competing for survival resources.
In the future, all survivors in Kyushu will spontaneously migrate there.
This migration battle is a matter of life and death.
Whoever can obtain the qualification to survive in Zhongzhou will be able to continue.
On the contrary, this can only lead to sinking and death along with boundless disasters.
Under this situation.
Even if Lu Yuan becomes the number one person in the world a hundred years later, he may not be able to stop hundreds of millions of people's desire to survive with just one person.
When the entire ethnic group and the entire country are faced with the situation of death if they don't advance, the so-called immortals and gods are not so important.
As for Lu Yuan himself, if he were really asked to massacre tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people, he might not be able to do it.
'So the only thing I can do is to unify Yangzhou as soon as possible and then move towards Zhongzhou.
After seizing this land, we will develop the remaining two states in Zhongzhou as much as possible.
By that time, the cold disaster in the north should have reduced part of the population. Coupled with the losses caused by the war in various states, Zhongzhou plus Yangzhou should be enough to accommodate the remaining victims of the disaster in the three states and three regions in the north.
At that time, I will implement family planning, cultivate high-yielding varieties, and reform agricultural technology. With such a multi-pronged approach, I may be able to feed the entire migrant population from Kyushu with the land of the two states.
By then, I will be able to live up to Kyushu and the people of the world. '
Lu Yuan sighed in his heart.
The above plan was the best plan he could think of during this catastrophe.
Perhaps during the implementation of the plan, many difficulties will be encountered and many tragedies will occur, but for the sake of the entire Kyushu and for the sake of the human race in the world, this is the only way.
The only thing that worried him was.
Is the destruction of all four poles the final step in this catastrophe?
If after the collapse of the four poles, the disaster spreads further to Zhongzhou, then what should I do when faced with the disaster of destroying the world?
Although this possibility may not happen, it is still necessary to prepare for a rainy day as early as possible.
'Just in case, the practice of immortality should not be left behind.
After the Jiuzhou monks leave, the remaining spiritual energy in the world must be absorbed as soon as possible.
If you can cultivate the Five Qi Chaoyuan by then, you will be able to protect yourself even if you really face the disaster of the collapse of heaven and earth.
There is also the Northern Underworld Capital. If I have a chance in the future, I will go there to see it.
If Kyushu is really irreversible, that is my only retreat. '
Lu Yuan thought to himself.
Although he is immortal, the latter part of immortality only refers to being able to live forever without being exposed to external forces.
If there is really an external influence, such as the destruction of the world, you deserve to die, you still have to die.
So when the day comes when Jiuzhou collapses, he can only choose the path chosen by the Jiuzhou monks now, and ascend to the immortal world through Beimingyoudu.
Therefore, this retreat must be maintained no matter what.
Just to activate the formation, according to Jinyun, it requires a lot of spiritual energy support.
And if you wait until the day when Kyushu collapses, it goes without saying that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth must have been exhausted long ago, and there will be no extra to activate the formation.
'However, without spiritual energy, the formation can still be activated by relying on the mana purified and transformed by spiritual energy.
After I absorb the remaining spiritual energy from Kyushu, the mana I have cultivated in my body should be enough to support the opening of Beiming Youdu.
In this regard, there is no need to worry too much. '
When Lu Yuan thought of this, he felt relieved again.
And when his thoughts were racing, Jinyun next to him didn't know that the King of Chu in front of him suddenly thought of a way to deal with the collapse of Kyushu from Ziyun Dao and Ning Guo's cooperation in the future.
After seeing Lu Yuan's murderous attitude, the old Taoist showed joy in his heart, and he immediately applauded: "Your Majesty is right. The Linhai family is in decay, and the Ning Dynasty that was born on the basis of these families is just a rotten tree sprouting. , difficult to last long.
How selfish it is to entrust the fate of Yangzhou and the people of the world to the emperor of Jinling.
Ziyun Dao doesn't understand destiny and changes, so he forces himself to be an enemy of the king, which is just asking for his own death.
With the heroic appearance of a great king, which is rarely seen in the world, he should sweep across the south of the Yangtze River and conquer all the nine states.
Gather the destiny of the world to cope with the calamity of eternity.
Such a great cause has benefited all the people of the nine states.
I, Feishuang Dao, am willing to serve Allah and help the king to unify the world and clarify the world. "
At the end of Jinyun's words, he stood up and saluted Lu Yuan, completely letting go of the arrogance of the Immortal Sect and showing Feishuang Dao's surrender.
This is not because he does not want dignity, but just to leave a way out for his own moral integrity.
After the Jiuzhou monks ascended the world, without these monks, the orthodoxy left by each immortal sect also lost the power of protection.
Without the decisive strength to support, even if each immortal sect still has some foundation, the sect can cultivate some innate masters based on its past accumulation.
But which one of the innate masters and hegemons in the world has been missing?
Without the power of monks to dominate warriors, there has been an imbalance in the power between various immortal sects and secular dynasties.
A dynasty that can gather the power of a state and a country has already gained an advantage over those immortal sects based on the balance of power.
At that time, as a force independent of the country, if it cannot be integrated into the country as a whole, it is not difficult to guess what fate will eventually usher in.
That's why.
Therefore, before the immortal sects in Kyushu ascended, they began to look for a way out for their own righteousness.
That is, to support a country, integrate one's sect into that country's system, and become a status similar to the state religion, in order to maintain the status of the immortal sect after the monks ascend.
In Yangzhou, Ziyundao has always been on good terms with the Linhai family, and there are many children from those families in the sect, so it is natural that the other party chooses Ning Guo.
Although Feishuang Dao has some connections with Linhai Family, their relationship is not as close as Ziyun Dao.
Therefore, even if Feishuang Dao gets involved and wants to obtain the status of the state religion, it is probably unrealistic.
After all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
Ningguo already has a Ziyun Dao, so how can there be any extra benefits to share with the remaining Feishuang Dao?
If you really want to integrate into Ningguo and meet the fate of Feishuang Dao in the future, you will either be divided up by Ningguo and Ziyun Dao, and no bones will be left.
Either they will be suppressed and weakened, and they will always succumb to Ziyun Dao.
Later, perhaps because Ning Guo was wary of Ziyundao's power, he would be pushed into a fight with Ziyundao and fall into endless power disputes.
Regardless of the above, it is not the result Feishuang Dao wants to see.
It's just that the original situation was like this. Yangzhou Ningguo's family was the dominant one. No matter how unwilling Feishuang Dao was, he could only accept his fate.
But things are different now.
In addition to Ning State, Yangzhou also had another Chu State.
Moreover, the strength of the Chu State has also reached the point of domination, and its rising momentum is far better than that of the Ning State, which is aging and the rotten trees are sprouting.
Judging from the probability of unifying Yangzhou alone, Chu State is obviously greater than Ning State.
Even in Zhongzhou, which is competing for the future, Chu State seems to have a good chance.
After all, Yangzhou’s geographical location lies here.
There are many mountains and the Yangtze River blocking it from the other countries in the north. During the chaos in the north, Chu had a lot of time to recuperate and accumulate strength.
By then, when the battle in the north is exhausted and its strength is greatly reduced, the Chu State will only need to send its troops to the north to easily reap the fruits of victory.
At the worst, with the power of the entire Yangzhou, Chu State can also seize a piece of foundation in Zhongzhou and get the ticket to the end of the world.
It can be said that no matter what, Chu State is in an invincible position.
At that time, Feishuang Dao, who supports the Chu State, can of course follow the Chu State to escape this apocalyptic disaster and pass on the Taoist tradition in Zhongzhou.
There is such a broad prospect.
For the sake of the continuation of the orthodoxy, what does it mean to bow your head and surrender to Lu Yuan at this time?
Jinyun came to Baling today to cooperate with Chu State and to help Feishuang Dao integrate into Chu State.
The ascension catastrophe mentioned earlier is just a foreshadowing for this topic.
After all, as a person who wants to ascend, what does the future of Kyushu have to do with him?
The catastrophe and so on are just things that the remaining people in Kyushu should consider.
The only thing that Jinyun really cares about, and that Feishuang Dao cares about, is his own Immortal Sect's orthodoxy.
The only thing that worried him was how much Feishuang Dao could be sold for in Chu State?
And this is the next round of negotiations and bargaining chips.
At the moment...
After Lu Yuan heard Jin Yun's words, he was immediately "overjoyed" and stepped forward to help him up. He said with a face of joy and emotion: "Feishuang Dao is willing to help Gu. I, the great Chu, will be like a tiger with wings. I will sweep across Yangzhou and wipe out Xiaoxiao. It’s just around the corner.”
Lu Yuan expressed his attitude, then restrained his joy, and then asked: "It's just that Ziyundao and Ning Guo are really powerful enemies. Although our Chu State is not afraid of them, it is not easy to defeat them. .
Feishuang Road has been passed down for thousands of years and is known as Ziyun Road. It is also located in Guangling, in the hinterland of Ning State.
I wonder if fellow Taoist Jinyun can give me any advice to defeat this powerful enemy? "
When Lu Yuan said this, he stared at Jinyun with burning eyes.
The other party wants to board the Chu State's ship and use the Chu State to continue the Taoist tradition. Just empty words and white teeth are not enough.
If you don't give enough benefits and don't show your value, you won't get enough status.
This is an exchange of interests.
Jinyun understood instantly, so he said cheerfully: "Don't worry, my king. Although Ningguo and Ziyun Dao are strong, they are not invincible. In recent years, Feishuang Dao has trained three divine generals to protect the law.
These divine generals have all practiced martial arts in their sects, and their strength has reached the innate realm, enough to rank among the best in the world.
In addition, there are many tamed spirit beasts in our sect, and we have also accumulated some spirit pills refined with the spirit blood of spirit beasts over the years.
Now you can offer a thousand elixirs to the king to help the Chu Kingdom cultivate more masters.
At the same time, there are five hundred Dharma-protecting Taoist soldiers in our sect, all of whom can reach the third-rate level in martial arts.
These Taoist soldiers, together with my Feishuang Taoist sect, can all move to the Chu Kingdom to serve the king.
In addition, in the land of Guangling, there are millions of Taoist people on Feishuang Road. These people, after thousands of years of hard work, all believe in my Taoism.
If the king in the future sends troops to Ningguo, we only need to send some disciples to mobilize the believers to start an uprising in Guangling County to support the king.
With all the above help, and with the help of the Chu State, it will be just around the corner to annihilate the Ning State. "
Jinyun said confidently.
For this cooperation, he Fei Shuangdao can be said to have suffered a lot of bleeding.
The three guardian generals and a thousand spiritual pills, combined, are equivalent to five innate masters.
There are five hundred Dao soldiers and one million Dao civilians. Together, these can be equivalent to one hundred thousand soldiers.
Finally, there is Feishuang Dao, which is bound to Chu State and can continuously provide assistance to Chu State in the future.
At such a high price, one can obtain the status of a state religion no matter what.
really.
After listening to Jinyun's many conditions, Lu Yuan was surprised by the profound knowledge of those immortal sects, and at the same time he couldn't help but be extremely happy and excited.
There is no way, the other party gave too much.
Let’s not talk about those elixirs and Tao soldiers. Chu State has no shortage of elixirs and ordinary masters for the time being.
Similarly, those millions of Taoist people did not have much effect before Chu State decided to take action against Ning State.
But the three guardian generals are completely different.
What is the biggest shortcoming of Chu State now?
It’s just that the innate master is not enough.
Over there in the snowy field, there is already a spirit girl who is getting married and will soon come to the Chu Kingdom.
But a spiritual girl still has some shortcomings in dealing with the current situation, and she will inevitably be overwhelmed.
If we can get the help of Feishuang Dao and suddenly have three more divine generals protecting the law, then the tense situation among the innate masters of Chu State will be relieved.
Even including Hanzhong County, which is under attack, Chu State only has six counties.
At the same time, if the spirit girl and the three guardian generals are included, plus the original six innates, the innate combat power of Chu State will officially break the even figure, reaching as many as ten people.
With ten innates, not to mention stabilizing the current six counties.
Lu Yuan's original plan was to go directly south to wipe out the Nanhai Kingdom and the Su Kingdom. After conquering Hanzhong County, he could immediately put it on the agenda.
Even the Song Kingdom further south can try to win together.
Once these territories are secured, the Chu State's territorial population will almost double what it is today.
For Lu Yuan, doubling the territory's population also meant doubling his luck.
This was enough to speed up his Taiping Dao practice a lot.
Nowadays, Lu Yuan's cultivation level has soared rapidly after the Qi Luck Technique. He has already reached the state of condensing Qi and has gone very far, reaching the later stage of this state.
The distance to condense the second Five Elements Qi is not far away. It can be achieved in four or five years at most.
But if he can win Hanzhong, defeat the three kingdoms of Shaoping and Lingnan, and get the support of Feishuang Dao, then Lu Yuan is confident that he can cultivate the second path of Five Elements Qi in two or three years.
Even while cultivating the second Five Elements Qi, he could also refine a Yellow Turban Warrior clone.
By then, relying on this power that surpasses all nine states, as well as the accumulated strength of Chu State, even if Ning State has the help of Ziyun Dao, it will still have great potential to defeat Yangzhou within ten years.
And this premise is the support of Feishuang Dao.
The other party is so important, how could Lu Yuan neglect him, so he took Jinyun's hand again and said eagerly: "Our Da Chu has a vast territory, and there are many various beliefs, including Taoism, Buddhism, Yi, and witchcraft, and chaos is frequent. Life leads to nowhere.
I have been worried for a long time.
Now that Feishuang Dao is willing to surrender, it is really a blessing for me, the Great Chu.
I would like to set up the post of national advisor, which is comparable to the prime minister and general of the country, and is of the highest rank. Oversee all the domestic beliefs, sort out the world's views on immortals and temples, and determine Yin and Yang.
I wonder if your Taoist master is willing to take up this position? "
Lu Yuan expressed his sincerity.
After hearing the conditions given, Jinyun was quite satisfied, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I dare not resign. Feishuang Dao is willing to take up this position."
After the words fell, the two people who each wanted what they wanted looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Snowflakes are flying outside and the fragrance of plum blossoms is faint. The tea stove in the pavilion is boiling and the heat is spreading.
The atmosphere during this snow viewing was even stronger.
