Miyun Mountain.
"Have the Evergreen Immortal Sect and the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect already started fighting?"
When the two neighbors to the north and west had officially started fighting on the Tianmen River, Lu Yuan and Yidan City, who were also in a hurry, learned the news.
Yi Dancheng nodded: "Yes, this is the news from the Giant Spirit Sect. Just an hour ago, these two immortal sects started a war."
Although Yidancheng has returned to Miyun Mountain from Qingyang Kingdom in order to send a signal of peace to the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect, this does not mean that his connection with that side has been severed.
The communication channel between Taiping Dao and Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, or in other words, the Giant Spirit Sect, has always existed.
Although He Yang left, the two junior brothers he left behind were still in Qingyu Country.
The news this time was relayed by Sun Yuecai, the Qingyu Kingdom guard left behind by the Giant Spirit Sect.
The purpose of the other party telling this news is also obvious.
It is to let Taiping Dao know about this, and then understand that the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect at this time, when the war has begun, no longer has the ability to mobilize manpower to launch an attack on Yunan.
In other words, the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect no longer poses any threat to Yu Nan and Taiping Dao.
This is also an act by the other party to express their goodwill.
While the two were talking, Lu Yuan's expression suddenly changed. In his mind, he also received the news spread by Qing Guanzi, who was patrolling the Jiuchuan Kingdom, through the spiritual connection between the clone and the original body.
"Qing Guanzi also received a message from the Evergreen Immortal Sect. The other party has started a war with the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect."
Lu Yuan received the news and then informed Yidan City next to him.
The latter heard the words and said: "Both sides have informed us, so it seems that the fight has really started in the north. Now that these two immortal sects can't take action, the south of our region should be safe before the war ends."
What do we do in the meantime? "
Generally speaking, when two powerful neighbors can't keep their hands away, it's naturally a good opportunity for you to show off your skills.
Many forces will take advantage of this moment to do things that were restricted and difficult to do in the past.
For example, external expansion, or internal cleanup.
These two things are the best way to accumulate strength when no one disturbs you.
“You don’t have to do anything, just develop with peace of mind.”
Lu Yuan said directly: "The interests we occupy at Taiping Dao are now big enough, so big that we have become bloated and about to suffer from indigestion.
If you covet more now, even if you can get more benefits when the Evergreen Immortal Sect and Jiuzhou Immortal Sect are unable to take care of them, it will only be temporary.
When the two sects are finished fighting and the winner is decided, no matter what the result is, they will turn back and continue to focus on Yu Nan.
At that time, once they are dissatisfied with us, sooner or later they will force us to vomit out what we eat now.
Taiping Road, which has occupied half of the southern part of the territory, has aroused the fear and attention of these two sects.
If it continues to expand its power, it will not be fear and attention, but suppression and hostility. "
How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
There is an Earth Immortal whose Taiping Dao has now threatened the Evergreen Immortal Sect and the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, causing fear and uneasiness in the other parties.
But because there is only one Earth Immortal, Taiping Dao is still too weak compared to the opponent's three or four Earth Immortals, and it is difficult to pose much of a threat to the opponent.
Even if you join a certain camp, it will be difficult to completely eliminate the other side.
It is precisely because of this weak strength that it cannot have a subversive impact on the entire overall situation, but it is a enough threat that no one can easily eliminate it, and it can serve as a balance and buffer between the two camps.
Based on these factors, the two major immortal sects will tolerate the existence of Taiping Dao and choose to acquiesce.
But if Taiping Dao still doesn't know how to restrain itself and continues to expand outwards, the attitudes of the two immortal sects will not be as friendly as they are now.
Taipingdao, which occupies five small countries and integrates other small immortal sects in the southern region, is a weak neighbor that is somewhat threatening.
But Taipingdao, which unified the entire southern region, was a southern overlord who had already spread his fangs.
Just look at the strength and threat that the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect that unified the entire western region can unleash.
The Evergreen Immortal Sect, which had already suffered a loss, and the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, which had proven its potential, would naturally not allow the second example to be copied again.
They are so desperate now that they don't hesitate to start a war and make a fool of themselves.
What I want is to re-determine the next owner of the Evergreen Domain between my two families, the new owner and the old owner.
It’s not like you fight to the death of both sides and then take advantage of the outsiders watching the show.
Therefore, in the situation where neither the Evergreen Immortal Sect nor the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect can do anything to anyone, Taiping Dao can survive in the Evergreen Domain.
Because both families need a buffer and an outside force as a mediator between the two parties.
This is the fundamental factor for the existence of Taipingdao.
But this buffer and outside force cannot be too strong, so strong that it threatens the survival of the two families, or so strong that it can defeat them.
Otherwise, we will face suppression and destruction.
This is a bottom line issue and is not negotiable at all.
Although the other two immortal sects did not express this clearly, Lu Yuan had more or less sensed this bottom line during the hundreds of years of getting along with them.
Therefore, when we behave and deal with things, we follow this point and do not try to exceed it.
So for the past hundreds of years, the other two immortal sects and Taiping Dao have been at peace with each other.
Even in this war, the two immortal sects did not discuss that they would destroy Taiping Dao first and then fight again.
This is because the two immortal sects realize that even after this battle, they each suffered heavy losses.
But the remaining power will still be stronger than Taipingdao.
Taipingdao still cannot challenge their post-war status, so naturally it cannot pose any threat. Naturally, there is no need to pay too much attention to those who are not a threat.
It can be said that it was because Taipingdao was weak enough that it escaped this war and was able to be acquiesced by the two families to stay out of the matter this time.
Of course, in addition to being weak, there is also Taipingdao. Over the past hundred years, it has been extremely stable and honest, and has not caused trouble everywhere, giving people a friendly impression.
This impression is also very important.
Now that he has reaped the dividends of being weak and honest, before his true strength is not enough to break all this, before his true strength is enough to challenge the status of the other two immortal sects and deal with their threats.
Naturally, Lu Yuan would not take the initiative to break this stable situation that was relatively beneficial to him, take himself out of his comfort zone, and take the initiative to meet the real challenges from the outside.
That's not brave, just stupid.
"The Jiuzhou Immortal Sect is in the west of the territory. There are two Earth Immortal formations. After we let Ding Wanxuan go, the Evergreen Immortal Sect no longer has the overwhelming power against the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect.
With a large formation, even if the victory was decided between them at the level of earth immortals and human immortals, it would be difficult to win the war.
This war will not end quickly until all the formations are completely destroyed.
Even if the formation is destroyed, the defender can still find ways to repair it or set up a new formation after the formation.
With such layer upon layer of defenses and one country competing for defense, I don't think this battle will be able to produce results within decades, or even hundreds of years. "
After expressing his attitude, Lu Yuan continued his analysis: "So for us, we need to take advantage of this buffer period of the war to accumulate our own strength as soon as possible and improve our foundation.
After the war, the new pattern in the Evergreen Territory will be divided. "
In this battle, although the two sides were not evenly matched, they were roughly on the same level.
And in a war like this where each other's strength is almost the same, each other's casualties are also the heaviest.
Lu Yuan, who has commanded countless battles in the Kyushu Realm, has long understood the normal conditions of these wars.
Therefore, after this battle, no matter who wins or loses, the two immortal sects will suffer heavy casualties, that is absolutely certain.
Because I have never experienced an immortal war before, and I have never even seen a true immortal war twice.
Therefore, it was difficult for Lu Yuan to directly judge how many people on both sides would die?
But conservative estimates suggest that each of the two immortal sects would have killed or injured one earthly immortal, five or six human immortals, and several thousand ordinary immortal sect disciples. This was definitely the case.
The reason is simple.
Because the last time, that is, three thousand years ago, in the decisive battle between the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect and the Evergreen Region, which completely determined the ownership of the Nine Kingdoms in the West and the current pattern of the Evergreen Region, the two immortal sects were the two Earth Immortals who died in each battle.
On the other side of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, those who died were the Earth Immortals of the Tianhe Sect and the Danding Sect.
At that time, there were only four earthly immortals in the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, including the Tianhe Sect, and half of them died in one fell swoop.
This heavy loss was not finally recovered until now, three thousand years later, with Wang Chengfeng of Canglong and Huang Yuanxiu of Tianhe Sect becoming Earth Immortals one after another.
As for the Evergreen Immortal Sect, there were five Earth Immortals before the decisive battle three thousand years ago.
After the decisive battle, two people died on the spot.
There was another Earth Immortal behind him. He was injured in that decisive battle, and because he was older, he also exhausted his lifespan early and passed away early.
So in total, the Evergreen Immortal Sect actually lost three Earth Immortals, which was worse than the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect.
It is precisely because of this that in the first half of the past three thousand years, there were only two earth immortals on both sides between the Evergreen Immortal Sect and the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect.
At the highest combat level, the strength is at a level.
As for the human immortals below, although there are more Evergreen Immortal Sects, they are unable to do anything against the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, which is in a defensive state and protected by the Earth Immortal Formation.
After a while, the Evergreen Immortal Sect recovered its strength, and two Earth Immortals were reborn in the sect. However, the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect opposite had also recovered its strength.
They even recovered faster.
Because they already have four Earth Immortals, all the manpower lost in the decisive battle has been recovered.
Even the human immortals at the middle and high levels, because after that decisive battle, the Nine Provinces Immortals annexed the entire nine countries in the west of the region, and even slightly expanded to the south of the region, and their resources were greatly abundant.
There are several more immortals than there were three thousand years ago, and their strength has increased.
On the other hand, look at the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
Although three thousand years have passed, the top-level combat power has been lost too much, and it has not been fully recovered even now.
Compared to the previous five Earth Immortals, there are now only four, which is one less.
Moreover, the territory controlled by his men was smaller than that of three thousand years ago. During this long period of weakness, the entire southern region was completely lost.
Compared with Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, Evergreen Immortal Sect is always in decline.
Now that the family is big and the business is strong, the impact of this recession period is not big. The Evergreen Immortal Sect can still control the situation and save most of the Evergreen Territory.
But if the time is longer, for example, Yao Baojuan will die at the end of his life in a few hundred years.
The Earth Immortal of the Evergreen Immortal Sect will lose another one, and he is also the strongest one.
Without Yao Baojuan, the Evergreen Immortal Sect has only three Earth Immortals, one less than the four of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect opposite.
This is the first time in tens of thousands of years that the two families have fought for such a long time.
This is unimaginably bad news for the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
Because this represents the imbalance of power between the two sides, and it means that the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect has officially surpassed the Evergreen Immortal Sect in terms of strength.
When I was strong, it was difficult to stop the aggressive expansion of the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect.
Now that I am weaker than the other party, doesn't it mean that the other party will destroy me in a short time?
This is unacceptable to the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
And the current Jiuzhou Immortal Sect has actually shown this.
During the three thousand years of peace, the opponent took the lead in regaining its pre-war strength, while the opponent was still weak.
As a result, the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect began to penetrate towards the south of the territory and began to expand throughout the Evergreen Territory, showing extremely aggressive and threatening nature.
If it is not contained, the other party will gain more territory and resources.
With the opponent's growth rate, it is difficult to imagine how powerful the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect will be in the end.
In this new round of decisive battle between the two sides, many real people from Yao Baojuan and Evergreen Immortal Sect have seen this.
I know that if I don't do anything, I will be at an absolute disadvantage in the future and will eventually be destroyed by the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect.
That's why he made a counterattack in advance before Yao Baojuan died when his own strength still had some advantages.
In this war, they don't actually want to completely wipe out the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect. They just want to replicate the decisive battle of three thousand years. That is enough for the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect.
As long as he can kill two more Earth Immortals from Kyushu, even if two Earth Immortals die on his side, he will still make a profit.
Because Yao Baojuan, who has decided to die in this battle, will not live long. It is certainly profitable to use a dying person to take away those young Jiuzhou Earth Immortals and cut off their future. .
Moreover, many of the new generation of the Evergreen Immortal Sect have been re-trained and grown up, and there are many good seedlings among them.
None of these people participated in this decisive battle, and were placed in the rear by the Evergreen Immortal Sect as the core force to guard their hometown.
After the decisive battle, these old guys are dead.
In a thousand years, one or two Earth Immortals will reappear in the new generation, carrying the new banner of the sect.
The next generation of earth immortals has grown up.
Then there will be no problem with the survival of the Evergreen Immortal Sect's orthodoxy for thousands of years in the future.
Before Yao Baojuan died, he had put an end to his biggest worries and wishes. After his death, he could have some dignity and go see his ancestor and master.
Before the power is imbalanced, interrupt the rising trend of the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect again, and imitate the decisive battle three thousand years ago, and the balance will be restored between the two sides.
This is the greatest motivation for the Evergreen Immortal Sect to launch this war.
However, the other party's actions actually indirectly helped Taiping Dao.
If the result is really as desired by the Evergreen Immortal Sect, then two Earth Immortals will die from each of the other side and the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, and the ones who die may also be Yao Baojuan and Meng Jianshan, veterans of the late Earth Immortal period. Strong.
Most of these two immortal sects' biggest threats to Taiping Dao disappeared in an instant.
Within the same realm, late-stage monks can usually easily compete with several early-stage monks.
Somewhat outrageous, even beating more than a dozen early-stage monks is not impossible.
For Lu Yuan.
Even the two clones of Yi Dancheng and Che Shidao, and even his true self, have become earth immortals.
In addition, Qing Guanzi is already an Earth Immortal, and Taiping Dao has four Earth Immortals, which certainly quadruples the strength.
But even with this level of strength, the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect and Evergreen Immortal Sect, together with a great monk in the late Earth Immortal stage, can still easily overwhelm Taiping Dao.
One person can suppress a case.
This absolute disparity in strength is also the reason why Lu Yuan has never dared to stab the two major immortal sects.
There is no way, the gap is too big.
If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. If you dare to stir up trouble, you will be beaten to death.
He wasn't looking for death, so he wouldn't do such an unwise thing.
"After this battle, I estimate that Yao Baojuan and Meng Jianshan, who have been famous for a long time and have only a few hundred or even thousand years of life left, will probably lose too much vitality due to this battle and will be seriously injured early on. Fall.
Even among the newly born earth immortals from the two families, one or two will probably die.
Of the last two immortal sects, the better one can have three earthly immortals left, but the worst one may have only two, or both.
And most of the human immortals under their command will be killed or injured each.
The two original overlords of the Evergreen Domain would lose more than half of their strength in one battle.
The strength gap between us at Taipingdao and them was originally six or seven times, but it would only be reduced to two or three times in an instant.
The strongest people in the Evergreen Domain will also change from the late Earth Immortal stage of Yao Baojuan and others to the middle stage Earth Immortal stage of the middle generation like Song Xiren.
Although a monk in the middle stage of the Earth Immortal is still powerful, his suppression of us is far less than that of the late Earth Immortal.
They originally thought that even if their strength was greatly reduced after the war, there would still be two or three Earth Immortals in the sect, and among them there were still middle-stage ones whose strength would still be several times that of my Taiping Dao.
We still can't pose a threat to them.
After a thousand years, we may be able to accumulate some strength, but they have also regained their strength as early as two or three thousand years ago.
In comparison, they still have the advantage.
At the same time, they can rely on these advantages to suppress us, but it is still difficult for us to threaten them.
It is with this thought that they can fight without worrying about the future.
But they don’t know that the true foundation of my Taiping Dao is the quick method of luck.
Now that we have the land of the Five Kingdoms and even the name of Yunan, the speed at which we collect luck is much faster than before.
Originally there were only three kingdoms, and it may take thousands of years for us to become immortals through luck.
But now that there are five countries and one region, it only takes three hundred years for one of the three of us to become an earthly immortal.
Within a thousand years, all three of them can become Earth Immortals.
If we can seize this window period, we can train you, Che Shidao, and even me to become Earth Immortals within a thousand years after the war.
Then our Taiping Dao might be able to take this opportunity to become the sect with the largest number of earthly immortals in the entire Evergreen Domain.
In this way, even among the four of us, there is not a single mid-term monk.
But relying on the numerical advantage, they can compete with the other two immortal sects that have not yet recovered and not fall behind.
At that time, we can truly unify the entire southern region and even expand further.
The pattern of the Evergreen Domain will also change from the original two powers competing for hegemony, with an additional one to make up the numbers.
It became a true three-legged alliance to conquer the Central Plains. "
Lu Yuan looked at Yidan City and talked about the new strategy he had thought up in the atmosphere of the war between the two sects over the years.
As the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things arise.
Now the two major immortal sects in the domain have declined due to the struggle for hegemony, leaving Taiping Dao and others waiting for opportunities to peek, waiting for the opportunity for the weak to rise.
Lu Yuan was waiting.
