Chapter 581 Thirty Years Later
As I said before, Taiping Dao is much weaker than the other two participating in the war.
In this case, even if Lu Yuan wanted to expand his army, he couldn't compare to them.
Previously, the number of disciples in the Great Peace Dao was expanded to 20,000 in just a few hundred years.
It was because he relied on his many friends to collect many outstanding disciples from other foreign regions such as the Dongyang Domain, which satisfied his own needs.
But this kind of thing is indispensable.
If someone sells you a favor once, it's impossible to sell it a second time.
Therefore, if Taiping Dao wants to continue to recruit disciples, it can only dig from its own territory.
With his own territory, even if he counts the newly conquered two countries and the land of eleven countries, it is difficult to select enough good disciples.
As for lowering the requirements, Lu Yuan had recruited five thousand cannon fodder before, and among these people, they were basically middle-qualified disciples.
This is already lowering the requirements.
After such a search, even if he wants to scrape again and relax the conditions to medium qualifications, it will be difficult to find enough cannon fodder.
Besides, there is no shortage of cannon fodder in Taiping Dao now, and there is no need to select some disciples with poor qualifications to fill the number.
The existing 20,000 disciples are enough to meet Lu Yuan's needs, support Taiping Dao, and finish this war.
What he wants to do now is not to blindly expand the army, but to restore the normal system, slowly recruit qualified disciples, and gradually restore the balance of the sect's dazzling financial deficit.
Therefore, Lu Yuan only ordered that he gradually recruit qualified disciples with superior qualifications, and returned to the elite line.
With the existing territory of Taiping Dao, even if it is only to recruit high-grade qualified disciples, in the land of the eleven countries, in a year, almost five hundred qualified disciples can be selected.
Although the number of people is a little less, it has accumulated year by year, and it only takes ten years, which is 5,000 disciples.
One hundred years, that's 50,000 disciples.
Fine water pays attention to the long stream, so it accumulates slowly, and when the war is over, the number of disciples in the rear of the Taiping Dao is afraid that it will recover to 30,000.
There are 30,000 disciples here, even if the Evergreen Domain is defeated, Taiping Dao will not worry about being unused.
In the case that there is enough cannon fodder for war, Lu Yuan is really not in a hurry to ask the disciple question.
The question of disciples, after all, is just a trivial matter.
At present, in terms of human immortals, it is actually the most important problem in Taiping Dao today.
On the bright side, Taiping Dao is on the front line, with only five immortals, but to maintain two fronts, manpower is already very stretched.
But behind the Taiping Dao, there are four hidden vein immortals such as Huang Xuan and Huang Yun, that is, Lu Yuan's clone.
These people, none of them are weak, and they can all be transferred to the battlefield.
As long as these people go to the front line, the dilemma of the lack of manpower in Taiping Dao will naturally be solved.
But that's just an outsider's opinion.
Lu Yuan's clones were deliberately pressed to the rear by him and did not let them go to the front line, of course, this is not what outsiders think, he is eliminating dissidents and preserving the strength of the hidden vein disciples.
His real idea was to hide the strength of these clones, and then play these cards when the time he had waited for came.
Think about it.
Waiting for the Kyushu Immortal Sect and the Evergreen Immortal Sect on the front line, several earth immortals fell in one go, and both sides suffered a great loss of strength and vitality.
At this time, Taiping Dao suddenly transferred four earth immortals from the rear and threw them all into the battlefield.
How big will this impact be on the battlefield?
The four earth immortals were used intensively, and in the later stage of the battlefield, it was completely invincible and unstoppable.
This is the trump card in Lu Yuan's hand, how can it be used until the moment when the winner is decided?
As for letting them hide their strength, after committing some violations, they will go to the battlefield to mess around?
It's also unrealistic.
On the battlefield now, the enemy's human immortals who are presiding over the big array, after the strength has been increased, can be comparable to the earth immortals.
Even if you can only exert the power of the earth immortal, and you don't have the vision and heritage of the earth immortal, this can't be changed, this is the essence of the power of the earth immortal level.
Although these earth immortals are all blocked by Lu Yuan, occasionally some earth immortals will target those human immortals and make a few sneak attacks, which is an act of both sides.
Among the immortals who died in Taiping Dao before, one of them died in this situation.
At that time, in the face of the earth immortal sneaking up on you, you are an immortal, do you hide or not?
If you dodge, if you can escape from the hands of an earth immortal, you can only use your true skills, and then your strength will be exposed.
If you don't hide, even if you are a master of the same level, in the face of someone else's blow, if you are not careful, you will die.
If you don't die, you can survive the blow of the earth immortal, which is also problematic, and it is still exposed.
Those clones have deceived some immortals, and there is no problem.
But if you really encounter an earth immortal, even if it is a water immortal who can no longer water, it is still risky.
It is about Lu Yuan's future plans.
If at this time, when the other two sects have not been weakened, and expose their hole cards, then the situation faced by Taiping Dao may not be to join forces with Kyushu to attack the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
Instead, the other two sects sensed the sinister intentions of Taiping Dao, and a pair of mortal enemies temporarily stopped and turned against Taiping Dao.
Don't look at the Taiping Road has returned to Kyushu, the two sides are already a family.
But even if you are a family, you will also be angry when you are clearly calculating yourself.
Not to mention, this so-called family is still a "family" who has been away from home for tens of thousands of years and has only returned now.
Taiping Dao and Kyushu, at this time, joined forces to fight the Evergreen Immortal Sect, they were all fighting each other, and they didn't trust each other, which shows how the feelings are.
So from this aspect alone, these clones can't move.
Regardless of how the outside world is boiling and the inside is talking about it, Lu Yuan has to stick to his own opinions, place them in the rear, and take care of his hometown in the back.
But these remaining surplus combat forces, for the sake of the big plan, cannot go to the battlefield.
With only the five immortals on the front line, even with the help of Lu Yuan and Qingguanzi, it is difficult to provoke the main beam.
It is imperative to increase troops on the frontline battlefield.
To solve this problem.
Lu Yuan also had to follow the example of the other two sects, and from among the elite disciples on the front line, select the people with the highest combat merits and at the same time contribute enough, and arrange them to the rear battlefield, so that they can concentrate on breaking through the True Immortals.
Except for the two small countries that have just been occupied and have not yet been sorted out, counting the vassals, Daping Dao has ten countries in the rear, and a total of ten disciples can be arranged.
After picking out these people, let everyone make a heavenly oath and a demon oath, and swear that they will never betray the Taiping Dao, and then arrange to go to the rear.
Before the breakthrough, arranging this kind of restraint seemed quite impersonal, but this was actually very normal, and it belonged to the customs of the Evergreen Domain.
No way.
Whoever made the Evergreen Domain in front of him is a pure pit goods.
The major immortal sects all sent spies to each other, making each other completely insecure.
Even the latecomer of Taiping Dao has been infiltrated into a sieve internally, which is shocking.
In the face of this grim situation, in order to ensure its own internal purity, in order to ensure the reliability of the high-level, in order to ensure that it consumes resources, it is not a white-eyed wolf that has been cultivated.
Some necessary means of restraint and guarantee are inevitable.
Before subsidizing a disciple to become an immortal, let the other party make a great oath of heavenly dao that is bound by the heavenly way, and make a great oath of inner demons who are bound by their own inner demons, which is only the most basic means.
There are also means of sustenance of the soul of the sect, the implication of the fate and the sect, the binding of interests and the sect, and so on.
In a word.
Below the True Immortal, perhaps an Immortal Sect cannot guarantee that among those disciples, there is no problem at all.
But after reaching the True Immortal, those disciples, even if they had problems in the first place, would eventually become fine under the constraints of layer after layer.
These restraints are not impossible to circumvent and crack.
In fact, as long as you are willing to pay the price, in the fairy world, any constraint can be circumvented and broken.
I don't see the greatest constraint in the world, and the backlash of the heavenly immortals against the Heavenly Dao was not circumvented by those great real people in the way of enclosure and self-imprisonment?
So, everything is unbreakable, just find the right way and pay a sufficient price.
But it is this price that has stumped countless people.
The constraints on a person's immortal's body, if you want to help him avoid it, the price paid is enough to support one, or even more immortals.
Let's ask, just one immortal, no matter how valuable it is, can it be compared to an earth immortal, or even more immortals?
There is no doubt that nature is incomparable.
No one would pay such a big price for one person.
If there were, then his enemies would be going crazy with laughter.
Using one immortal, directly taking away so many resources from the other party, three times five divided by two, is about equivalent to killing one or two earth immortals on your own side.
What?
The enemy is willing to pay such a big price, it must be that person has so much value.
If these words are put in the Heavenly Immortal Sect, they may be useful.
After all, the size of the person is there, and a valued human immortal may really bring greater benefits.
But here in the Evergreen Domain, who still doesn't know who, among which immortal sects, a person can have so much value, there is no such thing.
So these theoretically, the constraints that can be avoided are actually not much different from those that cannot be avoided for those immortals.
Since they can't avoid it, they can only obediently accept their fate.
Therefore, on the side of the Evergreen Domain, anyone who wants to become an immortal must first come to the restraint package before accepting the funding from the sect.
After becoming an immortal, there is a deeper level of binding.
These constraints are enough to make an immortal unable to betray the sect and resist the sect.
So like Yu Shipeng, there is a real immortal with a problem at a glance.
Faced with the order of the sect, let him go to retreat and be punished, this can only go to retreat and be punished.
Let him charge into battle and go to the front line to fight to the death, then he can only go.
It is impossible to resist.
It is still possible to live if you obey orders, but resist, all kinds of backlash down, and he is the first to die.
Similarly.
For other vassal immortal sects, those disciples who have not yet become true immortals are fine, and the constraints on their bodies are not too much.
But a person who has become a true immortal, even if he is in charge, the restraints on his body will not disappear with the change of identity.
On the contrary, he became the head of the sect, and his own binding with the sect was even deeper.
So as long as Lu Yuan holds on to their sect, then for the survival of the sect and for the interests of the sect. Knowing that what they are doing is contrary to what they are maintaining, these true immortals of the vassal immortal sect have to obediently obey orders.
Even if they are sent to death, they can only go.
As for saying this, wouldn't it be too rigid and stupid, and wouldn't those vassals be too stupid?
Of course, this is rigid and stupid, but if it is not so rigid and stupid, these vassals will die first.
You don't be rigid, you have more restraint methods, others send a spy over, support him to become the highest level of the sect, and then turn his head and directly lead the sect to take refuge in those great immortal sects, and sell the entire sect.
That's even more to lose.
Opposite.
A little more restrictive, despite this, it is easy to be deceived by a gentleman.
But in the absence of war, the entire sect can still continue to operate and pass on according to this rigid rule.
According to the previous practice of the Evergreen Domain.
There is only one major war in three to five thousand years.
To enforce this kind of rule, just be careful, the big war that comes every three or five thousand years, and the rest of the time, the sect is still fine.
For Xiaoxianmen, it seems short-sighted to gamble on the future in three or five thousand years with the stability of the present.
But it is the best way they can choose after the lesser of the two powers.
Using all kinds of door rules to restrain the true immortals in the door, and using other people's Dao inheritance to restrain those vassal true immortals, this is the popular method after the 10,000-year war in the Evergreen Domain.
From a practical point of view, these means have all played a big role.
Last time, the Evergreen Immortal Sect used this method to trap the nine vassals under its command.
Now Lu Yuan also used this method to control the three major vassals under his command.
As for whether to trap these vassals to death, he has not yet made a decision, and intends to leave it all to Providence.
Don't deliberately target, don't deliberately suppress, let them fight on the battlefield.
As long as these vassals survive, what about keeping them with them after the war?
If you can't survive, don't blame yourself for being ruthless.
Therefore, Lu Yuan, who has all kinds of restraint methods, is actually not very afraid of how many spies there are under his command.
Give one person a package process, and after going through, even if the other party wants to betray, they can't help it.
If the Evergreen Immortal Sect is really willing to help them unlock the cage, it will not be a big deal for Taiping Dao.
However, the loss of a marginal immortal can deal a heavy blow to the enemy, and it is a big profit.
And if you don't unravel.
Even if the person you pick and the person you cultivate, you are a spy.
Under the constraints of various rules, it is not necessary to work hard for yourself.
got on the boat of Taiping Road and accepted the benefits of yourself, but it doesn't mean that you can run if you want to run after you eat and wipe clean.
If it's really so simple, wouldn't the various immortal sects become wronged and be grandfathers for nothing?
Oath, fate, qi number......
In the fairy world, there are countless mystical and mysterious means.
Everything delicious is priced before you eat it.
When you eat it, it's fragrant, and when you pay off your debts, you don't know how bitter it is.
Even so.
There are also a lot of people who want to suffer this kind of hardship, but they don't have that life.
If you want to be a dog, you have to be able to see you.
The ten disciples selected by the Taiping Dao withdrew from the front line to the rear with this complicated feeling.
And with their departure, the intensity of the battles on the battlefields on the front line has also dropped from the original darkness to the shattering of mountains and rivers, which is a whole grade lower.
The three parties involved in the war all coincidentally chose a low-intensity war.
began to be behind himself, slowly accumulating strength, and secretly licking his wounds.
That's it.
This kind of unhurried war slowly continued for another 30 years.
In the midst of the torment of countless monks on the front line, the time came to the fortieth year after the start of the Great War.
Inspired by the war, under the crisis of life and death, among the disciples of various sects, countless talents poured out like bamboo shoots after the rain.
Thirty years.
Of the fifteen disciples who were arranged by Kyushu at the beginning, seven of them broke through the barrier and cultivated the Dao Fruit.
Among the eleven disciples of the Evergreen Immortal Sect, five of them also became human immortals.
Among the ten disciples of the Taiping Dao, four of them have also achieved true immortals.
In troubled times, there must be heroes, and under the tempering of the war of life and death, countless people have been forced out of their potential and shown their own elegance.
Talents that used to take hundreds or thousands of years to emerge have been surging in just a few decades.
And with the birth of these people, the various sects of the Evergreen Domain, after being supplemented by new powers, rushed to the front line with batches of human immortals and new disciples.
The front-line battlefield, which had been stable for 30 years, quickly became fierce in an instant.
After 30 years of precipitation, the climax of a new round of this war has come again.
In the forty years of the Great War of the Three Sects, three earth immortals in Kyushu, personally led tens of thousands of monks and ten human immortals, and stormed the northwest line of the domain.
Hearing the news, Song Xiren of the Evergreen Immortal Sect led 3,000 reinforcements and rushed to the front line to resist.
The battle of the Earth Immortals was suspended at the front for thirty years.
With that, there was a resurgence of the outbreak.
