To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

```

What do mortals have to do with him?

But if he offended Brother Wu, his own little life might not be guaranteed.

On the surface, Qingyang Country had three major Immortal Sect powers, still under the control of the Immortal Sect, seemingly ordered.

But that was only on the surface.

Behind the scenes, one of the three major Immortal Sect powers was Qing Mountain Pavilion, which could be considered a pure Immortal Sect.

This pavilion widely opened its Mountain Gate, recruiting disciples from outside, primarily following a master-disciple lineage.

Another, the Wind Thunder Fortress’s Yang Family, was a Cultivation Family, managing power mainly by cultivating pure-blooded family members, with core clansmen as the backbone.

Then they held the Immortal Selection Conferences, where if they encountered mortals with outstanding qualifications, females were directly taken as wives, and males married into the family as sons-in-law, absorbing fresh blood through such means.

The remaining one, the Beidou Alliance, claimed to be an alliance of independent cultivators, but in fact, it was an alliance of various powers besides Qing Mountain Pavilion and the Yang Family.

Some sects were so fragmented that they did not even have cultivators of the Five Qi Towards Primordial level, small sects and clans, or rogue cultivators who by sheer luck, had found Immortal Method Inheritance lost to the outside world.

These original Ragtag Armies were insignificant, always suppressed by Qing Mountain Pavilion and the Yang Family, unable to cause any trouble.

However, from a few hundred years ago, an unknown external force began meddling, integrating these Ragtag Armies and building up the Beidou Alliance with connections and support among them.

It wasn’t clear whether they specifically nurtured, or dispatched messengers, but the Beidou Alliance unprecedentedly got its Five Qi Towards Primordial cultivators.

And it wasn’t just one, suddenly there were four or five of them.

With this, the lack of top-tier combat power that the Beidou Alliance once suffered compared to the other two powers was immediately compensated for.

A new power emerged in your own territory, founded by your own subordinates rebelling, to compete for food? How could one endure this!

Therefore, upon discovering the Beidou Alliance, Wind Thunder Fortress’s Yang Family and Qing Mountain Pavilion immediately joined hands to encircle and suppress these independent cultivators.

But by that time, the Beidou Alliance had already become a significant force, not so easily eradicated. After several battles, with both sides suffering heavy losses and casualties, the two powers finally realized that they could no longer handle the Beidou Alliance.

Continuing the fight would only drag them down to mutual destruction, benefitting others. In the end, they had no choice but to acknowledge the rise of this new power.

Qingyang Country shifted from a hegemony of two powers to a tripartite stand-off, making the situation increasingly chaotic.

After the establishment of the Beidou Alliance, although Qing Mountain Pavilion and the Yang Family did not continue to wage large-scale wars, they still engaged in petty battles annually and major ones every decade. Every dispute resulted in the death of dozens to hundreds of disciples.

Merely these petty clashes had already caused significant losses to the three powers.

On average, each one lost hundreds of people every year.

This was a rather terrifying number.

Even though each of the three powers had more than ten thousand disciples, they could not bear such losses and had to replenish with a large amount of fresh blood.

Therefore, the Immortal Selection Conference held every ten years, recruiting thousands of people per event, became the primary channel for the powers to replenish their disciples.

Similarly.

In such a brutal war of attrition, ordinary Disciples of Immortal Sect like Brother Wu and Junior Brother Wang, selected from the Immortal Selection Conference with no particular background.

Even though they had entered the Immortal Sect, learned the Immortal Technique, and wielded powerful forces they could once only dream of.

Inside the Immortal Sect, they were still insignificant ants, cannon fodder.

Not only did they have to handle a vast array of tedious tasks, but every two or three years, they also had to participate in a minor conflict, shedding blood and sacrificing their lives for the sect.

This was also the purpose of the sect’s cultivation of them.

Otherwise, why would the sect teach you Immortal Technique and use vast resources to cultivate you if not to spread the Tao Inheritance and act out of selfless benevolence? If it were truly to spread the Tao Inheritance, then with so many elders and high-rankers in the sect, and their families having plenty of people wishing to join, when would it be your turn?

It was precisely because they needed people to sacrifice their lives that they recruited ordinary folks.

Of course, the three powers did not force disciples to march to their deaths. If they did that, they wouldn’t be cultivating disciples but rather cultivating enemies.

To give the disciples some hope, Qing Mountain Pavilion and others still provided some paths for promotion.

If a disciple survived five sect conflicts, those ordinary disciples selected could then be converted to inner sect disciples.

Once becoming inner sect disciples, they only needed to handle some internal affairs of the sect. Though still cumbersome, they no longer had to risk their lives out there.

This was one way out.

Alternatively, if you pursued diligent cultivation and broke through Gathering Three Qi, then with profound Cultivation, you could automatically become a true disciple of the sect and even choose one of the Five Qi Towards Primordial elders as your master, becoming part of the inner circle.

This was yet another path to the heavens. Once a true disciple, they needed only focus on Cultivation without having to deal with mundane sect affairs.

It was also the path most longed for by many ordinary disciples.

Unfortunately.

To breakthrough Gathering Three Qi on one’s own required Superior qualifications, which were impossible without them.

And those with Superior qualifications were one in ten thousand.

Each Immortal Selection Conference, the number of those with such qualifications among the Immortal Species, could be counted on one hand.

This was the path of geniuses, completely unattainable for the average person.

Therefore, for most ordinary disciples, the most realistic path was to engage in the conflicts, survive five times, and become inner sect disciples.

The Brother Wu before him had already participated in four such conflicts.

It was said that he had slain no fewer than ten enemy cultivators and was indeed a formidable presence among the ordinary disciples.
