To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 763: Chapter 334: Cooperation between Dao Country

Lu Yuan silently cursed in his heart.

He was very dissatisfied with Ziyun Dao’s intervention in worldly power struggles, deeply feeling that they were sabotaging his plans.

Without their interference, with his current accumulation, it would take at most ten years to unify the entirety of Yangzhou.

But now, there was Ziyun Dao.

Even if many people in Ziyun Dao were going to attain Ascension, their strength would greatly decline.

However, with their remaining foundation, a Ten Thousand Year Sect, it would still be enough to double Ning Country’s strength.

Not to mention, they would just need to take out all the Divine Blood Elixir accumulated within Ziyun Dao, and creating three or five Inborn Grandmasters would not be difficult at all.

Moreover, with their top-tier Cave World, they could still provide cultivators with Spiritual Energy for now, so they could probably raise even more Divine Blood Variants.

Even if Lu Yuan said that they could train ten Inborn Grandmasters, he would not be surprised at all.

If all these resources were used on Ning Country…

No doubt, it would cause Chu State’s unification process to be hindered by countless obstacles, making it even more difficult.

What was even more troubling for him was the fact that Ziyun Dao had chosen Ning Country – what about the others in the Nine Provinces?

More or less, there were some Immortal Sects in each province and domain.

Would those Immortal Sects that were about to attain Ascension make the same choice, attempting to support a worldly dynasty to protect their interests after Ascension?

“I did not expect Ziyun Dao to blatantly intervene in worldly affairs despite the distinction between mortals and immortals, without any regard for the dignity of the Ten Thousand Year Immortal Sect.”

Lu Yuan’s expression changed for a moment, and he finally sighed, but his face soon turned resolute: “However, even so, for the sake of the people of the world, for the common people of Yangzhou, I still have to conquer Ning Country.

If Ziyun Dao insists on colluding with Ning Country, they will stand in my way.

Then, I might have to raise my sword, break the mountains, and completely eradicate the Heavenly Dao Lineage.”

Lu Yuan’s words were cold, and his murderous intent was obvious.

Although he was wary of Ziyun Dao, he was only worried that their Ten Thousand Year Sect might have some hidden inheritance left by ancient immortals.

But in the current Age of Dharma Decline, even if there were any hidden resources, they would need to have enough Spiritual Energy to use them.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now, the cultivators of Nine Provinces were preparing for their collective Ascension, and it was predicted that after the activation of Beiming Youdu, the last bit of active Spiritual Energy in the Nine Provinces would be completely drained.

By that time, this world would truly become a barren, spiritless land, completely cut off from transcendence.

Only someone like Lu Yuan could maintain his cultivation by utilizing the Luck Heavenly Pillar to pry out the deepest remnants of Heavenly and Earthly spiritual energy.

Otherwise, any cultivator would lose their source of Spiritual Energy.

Let alone cultivation, even any inherited treasures within the Sects would become unusable due to the lack of Spiritual Energy.

No, that’s not quite right.

Celestial treasures are extraordinary.

Perhaps due to their inherent toughness and sharpness, they could still be used as divine weapons, pursued by ordinary people even after the Age of Dharma Decline.

However, that’s all they could do, and naturally, they would not pose a threat to Lu Yuan.

As for him…

He just needed to wait a little longer, endure for another decade or so, for his Dao Law to break through further and Chu State’s foundation to become even stronger. Then, with some effort, he could still resolve the alliance between Ziyun Dao and Ning Country.

However, in that case, the infighting and sacrifices within Yangzhou would be even greater than originally planned.

The battles would be more intense, the chaos would last longer, and Yangzhou’s foundation would be further eroded.

This was undoubtedly unfavorable for Lu Yuan’s already planned strategy of unifying Yangzhou, accumulating strength, and heading toward the only remaining pure land of Central State in the future.

After all, the future Central State would involve the struggle for survival resources of billions of people in the entire Nine Provinces and Ten Realms.

All the surviving inhabitants of the Nine Provinces would naturally migrate and converge there.

This migration struggle was a matter of life and death.

Whoever could secure a place to survive in Central State would be able to prolong their existence.

On the other hand, they would only face annihilation as the boundless calamity descended.

Under these circumstances.

Even if Lu Yuan could become the number one person in the world a hundred years later, he might still be unable to stop the overwhelming desire of billions of people to survive, relying solely on his own strength.

When an entire race and an entire country are faced with the situation of either advancing or dying, so-called immortals become less important.

As for Lu Yuan himself, he truly did not think he could commit to slaughtering tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people.

‘So the only thing I can do is to unify Yangzhou as quickly as possible, and then advance towards Central State.

Once I seize this land as my base, I can try to develop the remaining Two Provinces of Central State as much as possible.

By that time, the disaster in the north should have reduced some of the population, combined with the losses from the wars in other provinces, Central State and Yangzhou should be able to accommodate the remaining disaster victims from the three northern provinces and realms.

At that point, I will promote the Plan: Birth and Fertility, cultivate high-yielding crops, reform agricultural technology, and perhaps be able to support the entire migrating population of the Nine Provinces with the resources of those two provinces.

By then, I will have done what I can for the Nine Provinces and the people of the world.’

Lu Yuan sighed in his heart.

The above plan was already the best solution he could think of in the face of this catastrophe.

Perhaps during the implementation of the plan, there would be many difficulties, tragedies would occur, but for the sake of the entire Nine Provinces and the Human Race, it would have to be this way.

The only thing he was worried about was whether or not the collapse of the Four Poles was the final step in this great heavenly and earthly catastrophe.

If the disaster continued to spread after the Four Poles collapsed and reached Central State, then what should he do in the face of the world-ending catastrophe?
