To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck-Chapter 1488 - 579 Depleted Forces_2

"Senior Brother, Lu Yuan’s sword skills have become increasingly formidable in recent days. I’m afraid he’s treating us as whetstones for honing his own swordsmanship, with all of us serving merely as his foils."

"I have noticed this as well, but given the current situation, the fact that the enemy is willing to treat us as whetstones is already good news.

Haven’t you realized that every time we face off against him, Lu Yuan always holds back and never gives his all, leaving a sense of unfinished business.

If he truly gave it his all, I fear that even with the aid of formations, we wouldn’t be able to withstand him.

Now he wants to use us to sharpen his sword skills, which is why he hasn’t immediately broken through the great formation, allowing us to hold out a bit longer on the front line without suffering an immediate defeat.

Although it is somewhat frustrating for us, this is a favorable situation."

"I’m afraid that Lu Yuan not only wants to use us as whetstones but also wishes to wear down the Nine Spirits remnants using our Qing Immortal Sect.

After all, compared to our sect and those Nine Spirits remnants, Taiping Dao may have three Earth Immortals, but they still fall short compared to us, hmph.

Both our sect and the Nine Spirits remnants have Mid-stage Earth Immortals among us, while the three Earth Immortals of Taiping Dao are only at the early stage.

Among the Earthly Immortal Combat Power, Taiping Dao is the weakest.

Without addressing this weakness, even if those traitors win this battle, they would have to yield most of the spoils to the two Earth Immortals of the Nine Spirits remnants.

Without weakening us and the Nine Spirits remnants, even if Taiping Dao were to break through our defensive line,

what other benefits would there be aside from drawing our sect’s main force over and engaging in a fight to the death with them?

They are probably waiting for the School Leader on that side to decide the fate of those Nine Spirits remnants.

As long as the School Leader can take down one Mid-stage Earth Immortal from the Nine Spirits remnants, an immediate power balance could be achieved between Taiping Dao and the Nine Spirits remnants.

If they manage to take down two Earth Immortals from the Nine Spirits remnants, then Taiping Dao would lead the alliance in the future.

With such an opportunity before them, it’s no surprise that Taiping Dao is tempted."

Among the three, the eldest True Person coldly snorted.

Now, it has been the tenth year since the three sects began the war.

Over these years, each Immortal Sect has deployed substantial forces to the front-line battlefields, with all fighting fiercely.

Take, for example, this Eastern Territory’s battle zone.

Over the course of ten years, Taiping Dao has deployed fifteen thousand disciples to the front line, with a direct casualty count of five thousand.

And not just ordinary disciples.

Even two Human Immortals from Taiping Dao have died here in the past two years.

It’s unclear whether it was intentional targeting or mere coincidence; the two Human Immortals who died from Taiping Dao happened to be Yu Shipei and another True Person with a Changqing background.

Those two True Persons from Changqing Immortal Sect, whom we cultivated with great effort and at a considerable cost, weren’t able to contribute much in return before they were consumed by the cruel war.

Why did Lu Yuan not care about these spies back then?

Simply because he knew that once the war broke out, life and death would not be in one’s own hands.

A Military Order issued, and those who dared to disobey would be executed on the spot.

Those who didn’t dare defy would obediently follow orders and then continuously rush to the most bitter, tiresome, and dangerous battlefields.

Treating these people as beasts of burden and using them a few times would nearly finish them off.

Spies like Yu Shipei were slowly eradicated by such means.

Not only did they fail to cause significant damage to Taiping Dao, but they also used their own lives to fight for the sect and established outstanding military achievements.

Over ten years, Taiping Dao in the Eastern Territory suffered not only the loss of five thousand disciples and two True Persons but also secured the land of a nation, further expanding their territory to the north.

Now in the Eastern Territory, Taiping Dao has occupied the lands of three nations, with a third of the Eastern Territory under Lu Yuan’s control.

As a result of this,

The Earth Immortal Array Method of Taiping Dao was directly constructed within the Eastern Territory, completely separating from the rear Southern Domain and moving the entire battlefield to the front line.

These were the gains from ten years of fierce struggle.

Not just in the Eastern Territory but also on the central battlefield, avatars like Qing Guanzi reaped immense rewards.

Without accounting for the casualties of vassals, Qing Guanzi and Yi Dancheng treated disciples from Jintai Gate, Bihu Palace, and Xuan Turtle Mountain as mere cannon fodder.

At any sign of danger, they would drive the disciples from the three sects to the front.

With the Human Immortals being True Persons of the three sects, the commanding generals could only be Ouyang Yuan, Zhu Zhenghe, and others.

Every time they stormed the great formation in the central region, Qing Guanzi and Yi Dancheng, as Earth Immortals and both avatars of Lu Yuan with a tacit understanding, worked seamlessly together, naturally facing little risk.

Facing Zhang Xiuzhu, who had amplified his Strength to Mid-stage Earth Immortal with the Formation Method, even if they were not a match, they could retreat unscathed after a fight.

But for people from the three sects like Ouyang Yuan, when confronted with the furious Changqing disciples full of hatred, luck wasn’t on their side.

Over ten years, they fought in the central region more than a hundred times.

Nearly every month, they would launch an attack on the opponent’s defensive array.

After numerous battles, almost all of the Cultivators from the three vassal sects of Taiping Dao were wiped out.

From the initial five thousand vassal disciples sent to the front line, less than three hundred remained alive.

Only two True Persons from the three sects survived to this day.

Ouyang Yuan and a young True Person from Bihu Palace, Qiu Mingzheng.

As for another newly ascended True Person from Jintai Gate, and the School Leader of Xuan Turtle Mountain, Zhu Zhenghe, as well as the old School Leader from Bihu Palace—all had died on the battlefield.
