To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Thus, to ensure the strength of the high ranks within the sect, a sect can often only select one disciple for focused training.

Once this disciple reached the level of a Human Immortal, the sect would have a high-level power in place, and once this objective was achieved, they would withdraw resources and let the Immortal find their own opportunities.

The sect would then turn its attention to selecting another Immortal candidate and start training the second Immortal to ensure a continuous line of Immortals within the sect, flourishing indefinitely.

There was a benefit to this approach.

Generally, a Human Immortal only has a lifespan of three thousand years.

By the time they become Immortals, most are already seven to eight hundred years old, and the time they have left to live is merely two to two thousand three hundred years.

Thus, taking into account a training cycle of eight hundred years for fostering a Human Immortal.

After becoming an Immortal, a Human Immortal can at most train three generations, giving them three chances to make mistakes.

However, for a Cultivator to become an Immortal, the difficulty is immense.

Their innate comprehension, accumulated foundation, various external calamities encountered along the path of cultivation, and even the Thunder Tribulation when becoming an Immortal could easily destroy those seeking Immortality.

To successfully cultivate an Immortal on the first try, using all the resources of the sect, the chances of success are only twenty to thirty percent.

Only by attempting two or three more times is there a higher chance to successfully cultivate an Immortal.

Even three chances to correct mistakes do not entirely guarantee that there will definitely be an Immortal among the descendants.

This happened after the fall of the True Person of the previous generation in Youxin Country.

Zhang Yunlei, Yao Chaoyun, and others governed this country for three hundred years, enjoying the Qi Luck of the country for three hundred years, yet they too failed to become Immortals.

This was the case even for disciples of the Great Immortal Sect.

Not to mention the inheritors of smaller Immortal Sects.

After cultivating an Immortal, letting them fend for themselves seems inhumane and shortsighted.

In reality, this is the survival strategy of those smaller Immortal Sects.

Because most small Immortal Sects typically only occupy the Qi Luck of one country, at most two or three countries is the limit.

Relying on the support of one, or at most two or three countries, to cultivate an Earth Immortal is not impossible, but it is incredibly slim.

Looking back through history, out of a hundred Human Immortals, maybe only one or two could succeed in becoming Earth Immortals.

Even in the Nine Provinces during the ancient times, those who became Earth Immortals were either the Three Emperors who dominated the Central State and commanded the respect of the entire world,

the Human Emperors who occupied the vast north and south domains and whose influence extended into several adjacent states,

or were Immortal Sects that had a heritage spanning tens of thousands of years, controlling numerous Cave Worlds and possessing profound foundations.

From above, it can be seen that in the Nine Provinces during the ancient times, to nurture an Earth Immortal, one would need control over five or six states along with several Great Domains, exhausting almost half of the resources of the realm to stand a chance at succeeding.

But even so, over seventy thousand years in the ancient era, the renowned Earth Immortals, totalling no more than ten.

Included among them were the Three Emperors and the Human Emperors who exploited loopholes using the Way of Control Pneuma to achieve Earth Immortality.

This demonstrates the difficulty.

The realm of Earth Immortals is vast; this side of the Changqing Domain roughly covers one to two hundred thousand li, just about equivalent to two or three provinces of the Nine Provinces.

If one also considers those Great Domains, the resources for becoming an Immortal in the Nine Provinces are just about equal to the minimum of three countries’ worth of resources needed in Immortal Realm to support the cultivation of an Earth Immortal.

In conclusion, cultivation requires resources.

The birth of an Immortal also needs a foundation; it cannot occur out of thin air.

Relying on the power of one or two to three countries to nurture a supreme Earth Immortal.

The chances are too slim.

So slim, it’s almost impossible to achieve.

And once you lose that gamble, with sect members failing to break through to Earth Immortal before their lifespan runs out.

After your own demise, the sect would no longer have Immortals; at the very least, the Tao inheritance would fade, losing the Qi Luck of a country, with no chance of rising again.

At worst, they might be directly eradicated, their paths completely destroyed.

The cost is too great, and very few Immortal Sects dare to take that gamble.

Passing down orderly, ensuring there are Immortals in every generation, hoping that future generations might encounter a heavenly change and seize a defiant opportunity, this is what most Immortal Sects choose to do.

This is indeed the common choice made by most sects that only occupy a small country and have the Qi Luck of only one country.

Thus, according to this philosophy, a typical Immortal Sect, accounting only for one country’s influence, can at most have two Human Immortals.

And these two Human Immortals, generally, are only in the early stages, with at most one elder having outstanding talent able to cultivate to the mid-level, but this is the limit.

But what was he seeing now?

’The aura of this person, he discerns, is actually at the late-stage Human Immortal level!’

When Yang Jihua saw Che Shidao’s aura, he was frightened.

The late-stage Human Immortal; this was not something any random Immortal Sect could cultivate.

In most smaller Immortal Sects, where they only have early-stage and at most mid-level Human Immortals, suddenly a late-stage Human Immortal appears.

This was truly too prominent, attracting attention.

What was more alarming was, according to reports, this Che Shidao was merely an elder of Taiping Dao.

Above Taiping Dao, there was still a School Leader.

Traditionally, the cultivation level of the School Leaders of various Immortal Sects is often the strongest.

Thus for Taiping Dao, that School Leader, even if not more advanced than Che Shidao, must be at least at the same level.

One sect with two late-stage Human Immortals.

’Such an aura, is certainly not comparable to ordinary Immortal Sects, and with even minor successes, they could produce a Wanlongevity Immortal, ah!’

Thinking of this, Yang Jihua was apprehensive and immensely wary.

Wanlongevity Immortal; that was a title exclusive to Earth Immortals.

Earth Immortals have a lifespan reaching ten thousand years, truly achieving eternal youth and longevity, far surpassing Human Immortals by far.

Currently, Changqing Domain was experiencing frequent disturbances; their Qing Immortal Sect was already stressed dealing with rebels everywhere.
