Chapter 569 Remove the old and recruit the new
After confirming the matter of the Black Abyss expedition, Cheshidao quickly took action.
After converging and getting the summons, Qingguanzi and Yidan City, who rushed to the city, Lu Yuan gave the Taiping Three Immortal Weapons again, and gave the Taiping Sword, the Heavenly Mandate Staff, and the Wanmin Seal to the three clones temporarily.
This trip to the Black Abyss, although the three Earth Immortal clones joined forces, there would be no risk to their lives.
But just with the three doppelgangers of the early stage of the Earth Immortals, if they want to shine in the secret mansion that has attracted countless surrounding powerhouses, suppress the heroes, and achieve any major gains, it is definitely too much.
This time, the Black Abyss Secret Mansion appeared, and the monks from the nearby continents and regions heard the wind, and those demons and monsters were not willing to be lonely, and the explorers who came from it were afraid that there were no less than dozens, and there were probably not a few strong people in the late stage of the Earth Immortals.
Among the three doppelgangers who are now so many competitors, it is not so simple to grab food and get benefits.
Therefore, in order for them to have more chances of winning and reaping more benefits when fighting with people in the treasure hunt in the secret mansion, it is necessary to strengthen the strength of several clones.
Lu Yuan's Taiping Three Immortal Vessels, over the years, have been cultivated by Qi Luck, and the quality of the foundation has been improved a lot, and now, they have all reached the upper grade level of the inferior immortal vessels, which is equivalent to the late stage of the monk's human immortals.
Although this grade is not as good as the middle immortal weapon, it is barely enough for an earth immortal, and it is better than bare-handed.
With three immortal weapons in hand, the driver said that they can also increase their combat power by several percent, and the bonus to their strength is still considerable.
Anyway, now that Lu Yuan is sitting in Miyun Mountain, shrinking in his lair, no one dares to provoke Taiping Dao at this time.
There is no need to fight, and it is a waste to keep the three immortal weapons, so it is better to give them away, and it will not make the immortal weapons dusty.
And the three of them are naturally happier when they get the immortal weapon, their own strength has been improved, and their safety is further guaranteed, which is a good thing.
I don't have to say, I am grateful for finally becoming a human deity this time, and then happily go on an adventure to find treasures.
After sending away the three of them, Lu Yuan was fine, so he continued to retreat in the cave in the mountain to cultivate.
Now the world is peaceful, and the Evergreen Domain is peaceful, even between the Evergreen Immortal Sect and the Kyushu Immortal Sect, over the years, they have lived in peace and have not made trouble on the bright side.
When the disciples of the two sects met, although they still didn't have a good face, they would not immediately draw their swords and face each other.
In seven hundred years, even among the mortal cultivators, in terms of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm, it has changed a generation.
If the realm is lower, it will be more than two or three generations.
This person changed in waves, and when he experienced two bloody battles, the sky was dark and the blood flowed like a river in the west of the domain, either a few lucky people became immortals, or they were all ancient, not between heaven and earth.
The disciples of the new generation did not personally experience this, but relied on the descriptions and propaganda of the teachers and the masters, and preached by words, even if they had the magical power of taking pictures, recording the cruelty of the battlefield at that time and recording the two blood feuds.
But apart from the shock when I watched it at the time, what else was left behind?
If you can't empathize with each other, and you don't have a deep hatred, it's hard to expect these disciples to hate each other's people to what extent.
Of course, thanks to these educations, there are two cases that do have huge contradictions in terms of interests.
Therefore, between the disciples of the two sects, it is difficult to say how much hatred there is for each other.
But if it doesn't please each other, it's for sure.
Although they won't fight directly when they meet each other, they don't have a good face, scold each other, or ignore each other, which is a common thing.
But that's about it.
Normally, unless there is a huge benefit, such as discovering some treasure benefits together, they will fight for profit.
Otherwise, you won't do it.
And if the two largest powder kegs in the domain don't explode, the rest of the place can't be messed up.
In terms of the overall atmosphere of the Evergreen Domain, it is still a peaceful scene of prosperity and singing and dancing.
The three sects are all working hard to accumulate strength, desperately tapping their own potential, and their own territory has not yet been digested, and no one has the effort to pay attention to the outside.
Even if you really can't bear the loneliness and want to make trouble, it is like the spy turmoil in Taiping Dao and Kyushu Xianmen, and you will work hard in this regard.
It is not in everyone's interest to provoke a fight on the surface.
In this kind of atmosphere, after throwing the position of the head of the sect to Yu Peijin, Lu Yuan would naturally be able to enjoy peace and concentrate on cultivation without worry.
No one wants to do things, no one can do things, and some of the trivial chores of the sect are also handled by doppelgangers, so you just need to rule by hanging down and be a comfortable saint.
Just like now, even if the three of Che Shidao leave, Taiping will lose most of its high-end combat power, but the outside world will still not notice it.
No one noticed this, and even if they did, after seeing the direction of a few people, they could guess that they were going to the Black Abyss to hunt for treasure.
And then what?
And then there was no more.
One earth immortal with two late-stage human immortals, this kind of strength, even if Song Xiren personally took action, he couldn't take it, at most he could only beat people away.
If you can't kill the other party, but you offend the other party to death, then the Evergreen Immortal Sect will have to suffer the crazy revenge of the Taiping Dao.
Now the strength of the Evergreen Immortal Sect has not yet developed to its own limit, and although it has a strong background, it has not been able to transform it into combat power.
It can be said that there is no volume, but no mass, fat and big.
At this time, in the face of the Taiping Dao and the Kyushu Immortal Sect joining forces, the Evergreen Immortal Sect did not have a substantial advantage, and the two sides were just equal.
When it comes to a real fight, there are too many variables, and the outcome is unpredictable.
Now that he has an advantage in development and has strong potential to tap compared to the other two, Song Xiren is the person who does not want to provoke a war and wants to maintain peace and stability the most.
Because the longer the time drags on, the more favorable the situation will be for him.
Occupying two-thirds of the Evergreen Domain, if it only takes time, the Evergreen Immortal Sect is not afraid of the other two at all.
In this case, even if it is found that Qingguanzi and the others are out, the main force of Taiping Dao is not there, and the door is empty, the Evergreen Immortal Sect will not attack Miyun Mountain.
Because that doesn't make sense.
The core of Taiping Road, in the eyes of the outside world, is Qingguanzi, Yidancheng, and Cheshidao.
At the beginning, they had nothing, and when they came to the south of this domain, they only took 700 years to establish the current Taiping Dao in the situation of being poor and white.
Since the three people in that situation at the beginning all started from scratch and made their current achievements.
At this time, seven hundred years have passed, and the strength of the three of them has further advanced, and it is naturally not much difficult to build another Taiping Dao.
These three people don't die, they only destroy one Taiping Dao and break through a Miyun Mountain, which has no meaning.
They can be rebuilt at any time.
Not to mention, even without these three people, the current Taiping Dao and Miyun Mountain are guarded by the Earth Immortal Great Array, as well as five True Immortals and thousands of disciples.
Relying on these backgrounds, even in the face of the all-out attack of the Evergreen Immortal Sect, he could rely on the formation to hold on for several months, which was enough to hold on until Qingguanzi and the others came to help.
As soon as these three people came back, the Evergreen Immortal Sect naturally had no possibility of attacking and destroying the southern part of the domain.
So no matter how you calculate it, attacking Taiping Dao at this time is a thankless thing and there will be endless troubles.
Unless Song Xiren is stupid, it is impossible for him to conflict with Taiping Dao.
In the same way, it is also common to put it in Kyushu Xianmen.
It is impossible for the Kyushu Immortal Gate to have a bad relationship with the Taiping Dao at this time.
Some time ago, in order to resolve the misunderstanding, he also gave a big gift to Che Shidao.
Evergreen and Kyushu don't want to mess up, and Taiping Road will naturally be worry-free.
Taiping Road is worry-free, Lu Yuan is naturally worry-free, and he can enjoy his free life with peace of mind.
However, he, the deity, can enjoy himself in peace and be his own shopkeeper.
Yu Peijin, who was pressed for all affairs, was not so good.
As the three main combat forces of the three doppelgangers go out, although outsiders don't know, even if they do, they won't come to take Taiping Dao.
But what outsiders think is an outsider's business.
As the head of the sect, Yu Peijin can't think like this.
When Taiping Dao was at its most empty, he had to do everything he could to ensure that nothing happened inside the door during this empty period.
Therefore, after going back, after thinking about it again and again, Yu Peijin issued another edict.
That is, to continue to expand the number of disciples.
On the existing basis, another 4,000 disciples will be accepted.
The number of disciples of Taiping Road was expanded to more than 12,000 in one go.
This big deal directly shocked the outside world.
You must know that the original number of disciples of the Taiping Dao was only 4,000.
However, not long ago, an order was issued to recruit 4,000 disciples, which is a difficult thing just to select qualified candidates.
According to the standard of Taiping Dao to include disciples, how can you also have the highest qualifications before you can enter the door.
Although Taiping Road has a southern territory, it has a population of more than one billion.
But people with superior qualifications are also one in a million.
It is necessary to select from these more than a billion mortals with superior qualifications, even if they are all selected, at most one or two thousand people.
If some of the old ones, or those with bad hearts, or other defects are removed, then the number of disciples who can be admitted to the sect will be even smaller.
There may be only five or six hundred people.
In the past, Taiping Dao was able to receive 4,000 disciples, and it was because of the seven hundred years of selecting qualified candidates year after year, which accumulated to such a scale.
Now, in a short period of time, it is not an easy task to gather four thousand qualified disciples.
With the current volume of Taiping Road, no matter how fast the speed is, it will take a hundred years.
Of course, if the requirements are lowered and the qualifications are not strong, then it will not take a hundred years, and these people will be able to be gathered within a year or two.
But this kind of disciple is basically hopeless to become an immortal, and it is even difficult for the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan.
If you send it to the battlefield as cannon fodder, you can't consume a few spells from the enemy.
It was useless for Lu Yuan to come.
It is impossible to lower the requirements, but it is also a problem that it is difficult to gather so many people at once.
Taiping Dao has seven kingdoms and a vast territory, and it requires at least 1,500 disciples just to maintain local basic law and order.
If you want to fill the sect headquarters and the six separate courtyards, and arrange all the positions, you need 4,000 disciples.
Yes, four thousand.
In the past, Taiping Dao sought stability, and in order to reduce its own threat, no outsiders were allowed to be vigilant, but after meeting the basic manpower needs, it did not continue to expand the number of disciples.
The number of disciples was maintained at about 4,000, and he took the initiative to show weakness in order to confuse outsiders.
However, now, with Lu Yuan and a few clones, they have successively achieved earth immortals, and Jin Qingyue and Yu Peijin, who are lagging behind, have also quickly followed.
There are only a few hundred years left before Taiping Dao launches the battle to unify the Evergreen Domain.
The original disciples were not trustworthy and could not be of great use.
At this time, it will take four or five hundred years to recruit disciples and cultivate these people.
In order to have enough manpower available when the war starts in the future, it is naturally necessary to recruit more people at this time and train them from now on.
Therefore, the 4,000 disciples must be recruited.
Not only these 4,000 people must be recruited, but also the 4,000 people who have now been newly ordered must be recruited.
The disciples in the gate who were infiltrated by outsiders had all been sent to the Black Abyss Secret Mansion by the spies of the Evergreen Immortal Sect in the Kyushu Immortal Sect at this time.
These people thought very well, and there was no chance in the sect, so they went to the East Wilderness Inland Sea to try their luck.
But they don't want to think about it, is the East Wilderness Inland Sea a good place to go?
It is the territory of the Sea Clan, and there are countless monsters growing in the sea, and these Krakens are not easy to meet.
Even in the Eastern Wilderness Sea, among the countless islands, there are a large number of scattered cultivators, or overseas side doors.
These scattered cultivators, coexisting with demons, are not like the immortal disciples on the Donghua Continent, they have the most basic moral constraints, and there is a lower limit to doing things.
The monks on the Eastern Wilderness Sea, just like the monks in Lu Yuan's previous life, who saw the underworld cultivators, killed people one by one, touched the corpse and searched for treasures, for the sake of profit, no different from evil cultivators.
Running to such a place, those true immortals are okay, their own strength is extremely strong, even if they encounter demons and evil cultivators, they can protect themselves.
But those ordinary monks don't have that strength.
Running to the East China Sea, not only to guard against demons, but also to guard against evil cultivators, people's hearts are separated from the belly, who knows if the last one greeted you with a smile, the next moment will be directly stabbed at you, to kill people and seize treasures.
Those Taiping Dao disciples who were fooled away grew up in the peaceful and stable years of the Evergreen Domain, and enjoyed seven hundred years of peace.
Even if he is vigilant in his heart, he can see that his experience is undoubtedly like the little white rabbit compared to the monks of the East China Sea.
Fighting with these people is really unpredictable.
The above are just the difficulties that will be encountered on the way to the Black Abyss Secret Mansion.
When you arrive in the Black Abyss Secret Mansion, the interests are current, who cares if you are the right way of the Immortal Gate?
The monks even competed with each other, fighting each other, and fighting for their lives.
In this atmosphere of fierce competition, the death and injury rate is even more terrifying.
More than 2,000 monks were fooled, afraid that half of them would die on the way to the black kite, and most of them would die when they arrived in the black abyss, and none of them would come back alive in the end.
It doesn't matter if these people die, but after they die, the vacant positions must be filled.
For this alone, Tai Ping Dao must expand its manpower as soon as possible.
The world is changing too fast.
The birth of a Black Abyss Secret Mansion interrupted Taiping Dao's plan to gradually replace disciples.
In this expedition, if more than 2,000 people died at once, the grassroots disciples of Taiping Dao would lose most of them.
The remaining half of the people can't support the entire sect structure.
Even if the newly recruited disciples are unusable, and they still need a lot of time to cultivate, they can't take care of much at this time.
Even if you make up the number of people, you have to make up that person and maintain the basic façade.
As for the jurisdiction, there are not enough qualified candidates, and it is difficult to pick out enough disciples, which is not a big problem.
The area ruled by Taiping Dao can't get together so many people, this is a fact, there is no way.
But in the whole world, there is not only the Taiping Dao jurisdiction, such a little place.
In the world, outside the Taiping Road, there is also the entire Evergreen Domain, the entire Donghua Continent, which can be selected.
Even if there is the influence of the Kyushu Immortal Sect and the Evergreen Immortal Sect in the Evergreen Domain, if you don't want to appear again, now that this kind of disciple is infiltrated on a large scale, you can't choose a disciple.
But outside the Changqing Domain, there are more than a dozen large domains in the Donghua Continent.
These places, the Evergreen Immortal Sect and the Kyushu Immortal Sect, have no influence.
There is no way to play any infiltration influence among the mortals in those places, and it can directly eliminate the possibility of them inserting gaps.
With such a large territory, if you want to make up 4,000, no, 8,000 qualified disciples, isn't it easy?
It's just that there are so many qualified candidates in the world, but these candidates are not what you want to accept.
According to the practice of the immortal world, all mortals with the qualification of cultivating immortals in the jurisdiction of each immortal sect, regardless of their qualifications, belong to the property of each immortal sect.
It is the potential heritage of the immortal gate, and outsiders cannot interfere.
You occasionally secretly recruit one or two disciples who meet your wishes, and the number is not many, so the immortal sects can still turn a blind eye, and it is all regarded as a personal favor.
But if you recruit disciples in a root-digging style, it will be a naked digging and provocation.
If you dare to do this, it is basically tantamount to going to war.
Of course, what has been mentioned above is just the consequence of you running to recruit disciples without the consent of others.
If you can get the consent of the local immortal sect, then it is actually nothing to go to him to recruit some disciples.
After all, even if all the disciples who met the requirements in their own jurisdiction were recruited empty.
And that's just a short period of time.
At the speed of mortal reproduction, in twenty years, or even ten years, a new generation of people will be born, and a new generation of immortals will be born.
The window period of ten or twenty years is nothing for the immortal sects, which is also a closed time.
Paying this price is not very heart-wrenching.
It's just that it's not a parent, even if the price is not big, why should others give it to you?
If you don't have a good relationship, people won't sell your face, what can you do?
At this time, Taiping Dao has painstakingly managed a good reputation for seven hundred years, and the benefits of long-term continuous contact with the outside world and sending disciples to communicate with various immortal sects are reflected at this time.
Among the surrounding domains, there are countless immortal gates that are good friends with Taiping Dao.
Only Yu Peijin can statistically confirm that there are more than 30 immortal sects, and there is a high probability that they will agree to Taiping Dao's request to go over there to recruit disciples.
And among these immortal gates, Dongyang Mountain is the head.
has the friendship with the real person of Wang Shizhou in Dongyang Mountain, such a small request, the other party will not refuse at all.
If you get Dongyang Mountain, you will also be able to get the Dongyang Domain.
With a large domain as a talent base, from here alone, Taiping Dao may be able to gather four thousand disciples at a time.
Counting some other good friends with the Immortal Sect, it is only 8,000 disciples, and it is not a problem at all.
