To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck-Chapter 1490 - 580: Waiting for the Enemy to Die

"Mindlessly recruiting new disciples is just a temporary solution to the basic troop shortage,"

"Even that relief isn’t immediate; it requires a process."

"Even for training the most basic fodder troops who gather two levels of energy, it takes a process to elevate their cultivation with a massive infusion of resources and various secret methods after a new disciple is initiated."

"At the fastest speed, from start to finish, it also takes thirty to forty years to see any effect."

"So no matter if it’s the ten thousand new disciples recruited before or the five thousand new disciples recruited every year now, to make them useful, we still have to wait at least another twenty years."

"For the Changqing Immortal Sect, twenty years is a long time indeed."

"In times of war, every minute and second are worth fighting for."

"One slow step could very well mean a crushing defeat."

"That’s why Song Xiren can only hope that the nineteen thousand veteran disciples remaining under his command can hold on for another twenty years until the next batch of new disciples are ready to be of use."

"In this way, with a continuous stream of newcomers, the Changqing Immortal Sect could just barely ensure a supply of troops, avoiding a shortage of available soldiers."

"In order to overcome this difficult shortage of troops, Song Xiren had no choice but to desperately find new strength from other areas, to fill the gap left by the lack of basic troop strength."

"The only solution was naturally to consider the Human Immortals."

"To be frank, although the Changqing Immortal Sect lacked in various ways among the lower and middle-level cultivators as well as among the top Earth Immortals,"

"It led to many serious losses after the war began."

"But in the higher echelons of Human Immortals, the Changqing Immortal Sect was the most confident among the three Immortal Sects."

"It couldn’t be helped, who asked their number of Human Immortals, even before the war started, to have already reached twenty-two?"

"Such a number was directly the first among the three."

"This also meant that every time a Human Immortal perished on the front line, the Changqing Immortal Sect was able to fill the vacancy immediately, ensuring the front lines never faced a scarcity of Human Immortals."

"Having fought for ten years, facing fierce attacks from two sects, the Changqing Immortal Sect only lost territory in three countries but still managed to maintain the overall stability of its defense lines."

"The valiant struggles of these high-ranking Human Immortals are undoubtedly contributions that cannot be ignored."

"However, no matter how many Human Immortals there are, there will always be a shortage after continuous losses."

"As of today, the Changqing Immortal Sect has already lost five Human Immortals, and the number within the sect has decreased to seventeen."

"And among these seventeen, three--such as Yang Jihua--who stayed behind and are fully committed to striving for the Earth Immortal Realm, must be subtracted."

"So the Changqing Immortal Sect on the front line, in reality, only has fourteen Human Immortals left."

"And these fourteen have to take care of four battlefronts in the Eastern Territory, Central Territory, Northwestern Western Domain, and Eastern Western Domain."

"According to the standard of one Earth Immortal formation per battlefront, with three Human Immortals per formation, just the four formations alone would require twelve Human Immortals."

"Leaving only two to spare."

"Because of the scarcity of Human Immortals, in recent years, on the battlefield in some less critical zones, the Changqing Immortal Sect has already given up on the rigid stipulation of having two Human Immortals per country."

"Places such as the Eastern Territory and Central Territory, managed by Taiping Dao, have already reduced their formations to three Human Immortals each."

"Only the Northwestern Western Domain frontline, which Song Xiren is responsible for and faces fierce attacks from three Earth Immortals from the Nine Provinces, does one insist on two Human Immortals per country, six Human Immortals per formation."

"It’s strictly by stacking human lives that have blocked the three Earth Immortals."

"And precisely because the Changqing Immortal Sect has gathered the most strength here, with all formations operating at full capacity, their strength is far greater than in the other areas."

"So although the Nine Provinces launched the most violent offensives on the Northwestern Western Domain battlefield and gathered the greatest force,"

"Faced with the steadfast defense of the Changqing Immortal Sect and Song Xiren’s continuous desperate efforts, the gains here were lesser than Taiping Dao’s."

"For the entire duration of the war, they’ve only taken over one country’s land, which can be seen as Changqing Immortal Sect’s retaliation against their archnemesis."

"I’d rather cede territory to Taiping Dao than to you, my mortal enemy."

"But now, even if the Changqing Immortal Sect wanted to stack up lives, it’s somewhat difficult to do so at this point."

"After all, without people, even if you want to stack them, you can’t find anyone."

"So increasing the number of Human Immortals is already a matter of utmost urgency."

"Regarding this, just like the Nine Provinces, aside from Zhen Xuan and a few others who didn’t touch the nine countries they needed to break through to Earth Immortal,"

"The Changqing Immortal Sect also selected eleven disciples and arranged for them in the remaining eleven countries, letting them aim for the Human Immortal Realm."

"When these people break through successfully, even if only half succeed, it will greatly alleviate the current scarcity of Human Immortals that the Changqing Immortal Sect faces."

"The Jiuzhou Immortal Gate and the Changqing Immortal Sect, both are using this intermission to vigorously restore their strength."

"Taiping Dao isn’t idle either, of course."

"Lu Yuan also arranged to begin restoring power within his sect."

"However, unlike the other two sects, he didn’t make a big show of expanding the recruitment of disciples among the lower levels."

"Thanks to the accumulation of the past few centuries, Taiping Dao’s number of lower-level disciples have become exceedingly rich."

"A total of twenty thousand veteran disciples, five thousand new disciples, plus six thousand cultivators from affiliated Immortal Sects are available."

"All together, that makes up thirty-one thousand cultivators."

"By now, on the front lines of Taiping Dao, including the affiliates, the dead and wounded amount to only eleven thousand."

"Up to this point, there are still twenty thousand troops available."

"Even with the reduction of those five thousand new disciples who are not ready for use, there are still fifteen thousand people left."
