After all the masters left, Taiping Dao Master Yi Dancheng also went to Qingyang Kingdom. The departure of these people made Miyun Mountain quickly quiet down.
And as good news from all parties continued to come back from several clones.
The Kingdom of Xia Ye was captured, the underworld was pacified, and the ghost exorcism ceremony initiated by Taiping Dao was almost a perfect success.
Even over at Yidan City, good news came back not long after arriving.
After he arrived in the Qingyang Kingdom, the headmaster of the Golden Fetus Sect personally went out to accompany the headmaster of the Shangzong on a trip to this country.
With the cooperation of the local power Jin Timen, Qingshan Pavilion and Fenglei Castle in Qingyang wisely chose to surrender and surrendered control of their respective territories.
The remaining Beidou League was directly attacked by two real men. Under the thunderous sweep of the hole, all the main personnel were killed.
The remaining remnants were pursued and recovered by the disciples of Qingshan Pavilion and Fenglei Castle.
Beidoumen, which was originally one of the three giants, was destroyed without any resistance under the attack of the two true immortals.
Another real case once again proved how fragile mortals are when facing true immortals.
However, Taipingdao's sudden move also quickly attracted the attention of the giant spirit sect of Qingyu Kingdom surrounding Qingyang Kingdom.
The real person guarding Qingyu Kingdom in this sect, after noticing Taiping Dao's actions, immediately rushed to Qingyang Kingdom, trying to stop Taiping Dao's actions and save the Beidou Alliance.
When the two parties disagreed, they started fighting.
But this person is only in the early stage of human immortality. Facing Yidan City, who is equivalent to the late human immortal stage, and another leader of the Golden Embryo Sect in the early stage of human immortality, who is his opponent?
After a final fight, the real person from the Giant Spirit Sect was seriously injured and fled, hiding back to his residence in Qingyu Country.
Hiding in the mountain-protecting formation, he never dared to come out again.
However, in such a conflict, Yidan City took advantage and captured the Qingyang Kingdom.
But it also exposed Taipingdao's ambition.
The real person from the Juling Sect who escaped back has sent a message back to the sect headquarters to inform him of the matter and request emergency support.
Now, the envoy from the Giant Spirit Sect who had come to attend the opening ceremony of Taiping Dao earlier and left Julingmen one step ahead of schedule has returned urgently after receiving the message.
They joined the Qingyu Kingdom guarding the real person, and stationed together at the border between the two countries, guarding against the invasion of Taiping Dao.
As for the Giant Spirit Sect, they also urgently mobilized their disciples and sent them to Qingyu Country.
A war between the two sects could break out at any time.
The Jiuzhou Immortal Sect behind the Giant Spirit Sect has almost received the news at this time, and it is unknown whether they will send anyone over.
The situation in Qingyang Kingdom had become so tense that Yidan City was naturally unable to come back, and Lu Yuan was not prepared to let him come back.
At this time, this clone was urgently expanding the mountain-protecting formation at the True Immortal level based on the mountain-protecting formation of Qingshan Pavilion.
It is planned to use this as a basis to establish Taipingdao's stronghold in Qingyang Kingdom.
In the future, Taiping Dao's other courtyard in Qingyang Kingdom has also been determined to be the sect of Qingshan Pavilion.
As for the Qingshan Pavilion, it is not based on the agreement with the Golden Titus Sect.
The disciples of this sect will continue to stay in Qingshan Pavilion at this time to assist Taiping Dao in finishing this war with the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect.
After the war is over, these people will have two choices.
One is to return to the main line, that is, return to the golden womb gate.
Or join the Qingyang Villa of Taiping Dao and become a disciple of Taiping Dao.
Another clan disciple from Fenglei Castle will also choose between these two options.
In short, in order to take over the Qingyang Kingdom as smoothly as possible, Taipingdao and Jintaimen have provided extremely favorable conditions.
Two local monks in a small country suddenly had the opportunity to become monks of the Great Immortal Sect, and their ranks jumped up.
Could it be that he was preparing for the war with the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect? How could he receive such treatment?
Over in Qingyang Kingdom, preparations for war are in full swing.
And here in Miyun Mountain, Lu Yuan also had to start thinking about a problem, that is, after taking over the Youxin Kingdom, Damu Kingdom, Xiaye Kingdom, Qingyang Kingdom, and the Jiuchuan Kingdom was about to be obtained.
How will Taiping Road develop in the future?
In other words, Taipingdao, which sect model should we follow?
Although Taiping Dao has been open for three years, the number of new disciples is still small, only about 200 so far.
The reason why it is so rare is mainly because Lu Yuan changed his mind.
Because after investigation, it was found that the rules operating in the Immortal Realm are different from those in the Kyushu Realm.
What matters is not that the more people, the better, but that the stronger the people, the better.
The number of people cannot achieve absolute advantage in this extraordinary world, or even have no advantage.
For an immortal, no matter how many mortals there are, or no matter how many monks there are under the immortals, it is completely meaningless.
One hundred Five Qi Chaoyuan can't kill a true immortal.
But a true immortal can kill a hundred Five Qi Chaoyuan.
The gap is so huge that it leads to a strong sense of powerlessness among low-level monks when facing high-level monks.
After Lu Yuan experienced this personally, he quickly adjusted the inertia he had formed since he was in the Kyushu Realm, that is, overwhelming others with numbers.
It was converted into merit-based admissions here in the fairy world.
In other words, it is the conditions for recruiting disciples of the great immortal sects here. They only recruit elites, not mediocre ones.
After communicating with the real people participating in the celebration ceremony through the clones, Lu Yuan gradually understood the habits of various immortal sects in recruiting disciples.
Except for a few individual immortal sects, the gates are kept wide open, and anyone who comes can enter as long as they are not too bad.
Most immortal sects only accept disciples with superior qualifications, and even superior qualifications are not enough. Some strict character requirements must be added before one can enter the sect.
For many immortal sects, superior qualifications are the ticket.
Whether more conditions need to be added depends on the resources of this fairy gate and whether it is strong or not.
The more resources and the stronger the Immortal Sect, the more stringent the requirements for recruiting disciples, and the smaller the number of disciples.
Just like the Evergreen Immortal Sect, which suppressed the entire Evergreen Territory, even if it has declined now, it still occupies the full hegemony of the twenty-one countries in the territory.
But even for such a great immortal sect, the number of disciples is still only three hundred true disciples and five thousand disciples.
The overall number of people is not comparable to the three small immortal sects of Qingyang Kingdom.
Although the Immortal Sect over there does not have a single true Immortal, the number of disciples does not exceed 10,000?
But who would think that these small immortal sects are stronger than the Evergreen Immortal Sect?
No one would think so.
Therefore, the weaker the immortal sect, in order to make itself look strong and gain momentum, it will recruit more disciples and make the sect larger.
The stronger the immortal sect, the fewer disciples it has. There is no need to engage in such frivolous things, and the sect's size should always be maintained within a limited range.
The reason is simple: concentrate resources to do big things.
It is precisely because there are enough resources that we must pool them for the use of a few truly talented people, so as to cultivate real talents in the best interests of the world.
Otherwise, if the resources are dispersed and evenly distributed to each disciple, the resources obtained by everyone will become extremely limited.
In an environment that emphasizes the need for resources to cultivate immortality, each disciple will become lacking in resources, which will lead to difficulties in cultivation. In the end, even if he has good qualifications, it will be difficult to become a talent.
A disciple who cannot become a talented person means that he cannot break through the realm; being unable to break through the realm means that he cannot master higher power.
Unable to grasp a higher power.
For high-level disciples, these low-level disciples are just like ants, they can be killed with just a wave of hands, and they are completely meaningless to the sect.
Just like what was said before.
The real core of a sect is firstly the immortal, and secondly the five-qi chaoyuan who has the possibility of becoming an immortal.
In addition, even if you are in the realm of condensing the four qi, it is meaningless to a sect.
Those who do not become immortals are all ants.
This side of the fairy world is so cruel.
Because of this, Lu Yuan changed his strategy.
The idea of recruiting disciples changed from the original ten thousand immortals coming to the court to three hundred true immortals sitting under the disciples.
It seems that the number of people has decreased, but the quality has improved.
Originally, the tens of thousands of immortal cultivators were just mortals.
But the three hundred true immortals are real immortals.
No matter how loud the former is, outsiders will not take a second look, but will think you are noisy.
No matter how low-key the latter is, as long as others know the details, the thoughts of reverence and fear will arise spontaneously.
The gap between the two is unknown.
Adhering to this idea, as Lu Yuan was determined to rename the Evergreen Territory to the Taiping Territory in the future and become a new generation of great masters, he naturally chose to rely on the development path of the current overlord, the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
That is to say, the requirements for recruiting disciples are to start with high qualifications, coupled with strict xinxing requirements, to ensure that future achievements are at least the Five Qi Chaoyuan, and there is a good chance of becoming a true immortal.
Only this kind of disciple is qualified to enter the gate of Taiping Dao.
The reason is simple.
That is, Lu Yuan will need many thugs in the future, strong enough thugs to maintain his hegemony in the Evergreen Domain.
You ask, if you don’t have clones, why do you still rely on these disciples?
Naturally, if you want to create a clone, the cost requirements are also very high.
If you want to refine a Qi Luck Dao Fruit, you must at least have enough immortal materials that can produce the weight of an immortal weapon, and only then can you create a prototype of the Dao Fruit.
Then if you want the Dao Fruit to take its prototype and become a real Dao Fruit, it requires at least hundreds of years of luck and energy support from a country to transform into an immortal.
After all this investment, the cost of refining a Dao Fruit is several times or even twice as high as cultivating a true immortal.
This is because true immortals often exist, but weapon-refining materials whose quality reaches the level of immortals do not often exist.
During this ceremony, more than a dozen true immortals came to Miyun Mountain, but among these immortals, only a few, no more than 80%, had immortal weapons.
Most of these eight people are immortal weapons passed down by the sect and belong to the sect rather than private property.
The remaining 20%, and even the entire sect, did not have a single immortal weapon.
It can be seen how scarce immortal weapons are in the immortal world.
Think about it too.
Within the entire fairy world, there are countless resources.
With the continuous exploitation by previous generations, resources are generally in a trend of continuous depletion.
Even though many resources can still be regenerated, the rate of regeneration cannot match the speed of extraction.
As the Immortal Path becomes more and more prosperous, the number of Immortals increases, and the demand for resources increases.
Limited resources are allocated to unlimited immortals, and eventually the resources obtained by each immortal will become increasingly scarce.
The Immortal Way was born in the Immortal World, and I don’t know how many years have passed since then.
After such a long time, no matter how strong the foundation of the fairy world is, it cannot withstand constant excavation.
By now, the resources accumulated in the past have basically been exhausted.
The remaining resources that are newly born every year are also controlled by powerful sects. As soon as they are born, they are directly divided up by the immortals in the big sects, and they cannot escape at all.
Some immortal sects that are relatively poor at it don't have any immortal weapons at hand, so it's normal.
Because I can't find a way to collect that resource.
Even if there are immortal sects with immortal weapons now, it is difficult to say how long they can hold the immortal weapons.
True immortals have a limited lifespan and cannot last forever.
Immortal weapons naturally have a useful life.
After this period of time is exceeded, the immortal weapon will also decay.
Or if you are unlucky, before it decays, the fairy weapon may be damaged in the fight and scrapped early because the owner uses it to fight with others.
Based on these practical considerations, we can know that it is not that easy to refine an immortal weapon in the immortal world.
Even saying that it is very difficult.
Yidan City was able to obtain the Emperor's Golden Blade from Lord Liumu before. In a sense, it was actually a stroke of luck.
Under normal circumstances, the immortals of the Immortal Sect do not have immortal weapons, and it is even less likely that some demons and monsters with little inheritance will have them.
Mr. Liumu, I can only say that the other party is indeed very lucky to have such an opportunity to create the prototype of an immortal weapon.
This means you are born with good luck, and others will not envy you.
Otherwise, how could this demon become an immortal and dominate a country?
Being able to do this is not just a matter of ability, luck also plays a key role.
In the fairy world, to measure a person's strength, mana cultivation is part of it, and deep blessings are also part of it, but there is never any theory of strength alone.
No matter how strong you are, if a meteorite falls from the sky, God will kill you. Are you afraid?
This is God's help.
Cultivation of immortals pays attention to obeying nature and responding to people. Naturally, they will not confront people who God likes, but will maintain a certain degree of respect.
Otherwise, God will blame you, and not everyone can bear it.
From this point of view, today's mainstream monks who can possess immortal weapons are either rich or lucky, neither of which are universal.
This current situation undoubtedly caused great restrictions on Lu Yuan Guang's plan to establish a clone.
He also wants to create clones as much as possible, but he also needs to have so many immortal weapons.
Without the immortal weapon as the prototype of Dao Fruit, where would the clone come from?
Even if you have an immortal weapon, it only guarantees that you can create a human-immortal clone.
If you want to create an Earth Immortal clone, you must be at the level of an Immortal Weapon or above.
This is another limitation.
Lu Yuan's three clones were barely able to reach the potential of medium-level immortal weapons after exhausting the last resources of the entire Kyushu Realm.
This is not replicable.
Like the later Emperor's Golden Blade, it only has the foundation of an inferior immortal weapon. If it is not further cultivated, more immortal materials are added, and it is upgraded once.
Throughout his life, he will only be able to circulate at the level of human immortality.
It is precisely because of these material limitations that Lu Yuan will not be able to create too many clones in the future.
Otherwise, if there were really no restrictions on this path, in the ancient times of the Kyushu Realm, the path of immortal weapons, Dao and fruits would have been popular a long time ago.
It may just be that they live in southern Xinjiang, and the strongest person only has the title of personal emperor.
It is unsustainable and consumes too many resources. It is destined that this road cannot be promoted on a large scale.
And it will gradually decline as resources are depleted.
With the expansion of Taiping Dao's power in the southern part of the territory, manpower has become scarce. Lu Yuan has been trying to collect some immortal materials for the past two years, but in the end he found nothing.
Gradually, I realized the difficulty and returned to reality.
That is the road of avatar, and it can only be done on a small scale.
Just concentrate resources and create a few core Earth Immortal clones to serve as the leaders of the sect.
The remaining ordinary high-level people, that is, ordinary human immortals, can train some ordinary disciples to come up as regular thugs.
This is the optimal solution to maximize resource utilization.
You don't need to control everything, you just need to control the core of the sect and control the highest force.
As long as the Earthly Immortals are all our own, even if some of the Human Immortal disciples have alien intentions, they will not be able to cause any trouble in the face of a power that has crossed a great realm.
In the end, if Lu Yuan becomes an immortal and masters the highest level of martial arts, he will be even more stable given the huge gap between the two realms.
Not to mention.
These disciples who have been carefully cultivated by the sect finally become immortals. With the previous master-disciple relationship still there, what are the chances of betraying the master?
Not everyone is heartless.
These disciples grew up in the sect, received education from the sect, and obtained the resources of the sect. They were surrounded by familiar brothers and above them were respected teachers. In this atmosphere, the sect was their home.
Who can betray his own home?
Even if such a person exists, it is highly unlikely.
If you really do it, you will have to face the contempt of the world.
The cost of betrayal is too high, and coupled with the emotional bond, there is basically no need to worry about betrayal.
certainly.
Lu Yuan doesn't just want quality, not quantity.
It's about quality, but also about quantity.
Specifically speaking, it is Miyun Mountain, the sect headquarters of Taiping Dao. The disciples here will follow the quality route.
If you are not a true immortal seed, you are not qualified to enter.
However, in the other courtyards under the sect's jurisdiction, quantity will be the main priority.
Recruit as many qualified disciples as possible to expand the number of disciples in the sect.
Then from these qualified disciples, elite disciples, that is, true immortal seeds, are selected and sent to Miyun Mountain for key training.
Through such layer-by-layer screening, a promotion system is constructed.
Taipingdao not only has enough manpower available, but also does not have difficulty in finding true immortals due to scattered resources. It suddenly becomes the best of both worlds.
As for whether there will be any disadvantages in the future, we can only take it one step at a time.
Anyway, as long as Lu Yuan can grasp the power at the top of the sect, even if there are any mistakes in the development process, he can directly correct them.
With absolute power to suppress it, there is no need to worry about losing control.
In a world where great power belongs to one person, having power is so convenient and practical.
