TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 916: Chapter 385 Subjugation of the Southwest_2 Chapter 916: Chapter 385 Subjugation of the Southwest_2 “`

Moreover, once someone enters the Immortal Realm, just by the name, one can tell that this superior realm must be teeming with countless Immortals and Cultivators everywhere.

In such a place, Lu Yuan’s mere cultivation of Gathering Two Qi would likely place him at the very bottom, cannon fodder.

If the Immortal Realm were even more perilous, resembling a mafia-run Immortal Cultivation World that emphasizes the merciless principles of killing for loot and the survival of the fittest, it would be even more terrifying.

Wherever Lu Yuan went, his life would be at risk.

In the world of the Nine Provinces, he was the high and mighty King of Chu, the unrivaled number one martial artist, with glory, wealth, and an unlimited lifespan in his grasp, and no one could threaten his life.

Essentially, as long as Lu Yuan did not seek death himself, no one could kill him.

With such a divine existence at hand, only a fool would go to the Immortal Realm in search of the eternal Immortal Method.

Not to mention, whether the so-called Northern Dark City could still connect to the Immortal Realm – that was something no one could ascertain.

It was also highly possible that the other end of this Ascension Array could lead directly into the chaotic Void where one might get lost and meet their death.

“However, although my cultivation is unimpeded, the loss of the Spiritual Energy from Tianluo Mountain means that the Heavenly Qi I can draw upon with my current Qi Luck is insufficient to meet my cultivation needs.”

Lu Yuan sighed with a mix of relief and frustration.

Previously, with the blessing of the Cave World of Tianluo Mountain, he could cultivate with a full load of Spiritual Energy consumption.

But now, without the Cave World’s Spiritual Energy and with his current state of Gathering Two Qi, the Heavenly Qi he could draw upon with his present Qi Luck could only supply about eighty percent of his full capacity for the consumption of Spiritual Energy.

Although this amount was still significant, for Lu Yuan, who had gotten used to the abundance of the past, it always felt like he hadn’t eaten his fill, a hunger that was very uncomfortable.

“It seems I need to speed up the expansion and gather enough Qi Luck by strengthening the Chu State to fill these vacancies.”

Lu Yuan mused privately, then looked to the west, thinking, “It’s time for Huang Xin and Qing Hezi over there to pick up the pace, too.”

…

As Lu Yuan was troubled by the dissipation of the Cave World’s Spiritual Energy, far away in the Lingnan Region, others were also in the midst of their own troubles.

In Song Country, the capital city of Songping.

Today, the Grand Ministers of Song, along with King Xie Ning of Song, were all gathered together, each with a grave and worried expression.

“Your Majesty, the Chu envoy has urged us again.

We must respond soon.”

In the heavy atmosphere, the Minister of Clan Affairs, Xie Yong, broke the silence.

With this statement, it was as if the floodgates had opened, and the Group of Ministers below began to speak out.

“Indeed, Your Majesty, the Chu have already gathered a hundred thousand troops, all elite from the Forbidden Army, in the Through Sea and Yulin counties.

The Chu’s southwestern general, Qing Hezi, has personally arrived at the Front line to supervise the military.

With him there, the Chu have amassed three Inborn masters at the border.

Besides, large numbers of troops are gathering in the military states such as Qianzhong, Kunhai, Chilih, and Jianchuan.

If we don’t make plans soon, the Chu forces will invade.”

“Now, the Chu have swept through Jiangdong and Lingnan.

Su Country and Southsea Country have already been destroyed, the Ning Dynasty has been defeated and is in Tortoise Retreat in half of Jiangdong, having lost the momentum.

Yangzhou now has only this southwestern corner left unsettled.

With Chu possessing the territory of eleven counties and three Nations flanking to the southwest, it is difficult to resist with just this corner of the southwest.

Your Majesty really needs to make plans early.”

“Whether to fight or to make peace, Your Majesty, please make a decision early.”

The Group of Ministers each expressed their opinions.

Xie Ning looked at the people below, listening to the cacophony, a hint of bitterness rising in his heart.

Although all the ministers were telling him to make a decision, and none said outright to surrender, wasn’t the underlying message that the Chu were unstoppable and that it was time to capitulate?

But contemplating the current state of Chu, Xie Ning couldn’t help but feel despair.

The gap between Chu and Song was simply too vast.

An eight or nine-fold gap in territory, over ten-fold gaps in population and military force, and more than twenty-fold disparity in the number of Inborn Grandmasters…

Between Chu and Song, it was comparable to a baby and a giant, not at all on the same scale.

For the current Chu, destroying Song wouldn’t even require a special military deployment; just the border troops adjacent to Song would suffice.

Like now, where Chu had only amassed the garrisoned Forbidden army from the Through Sea and Yulin counties and sent one overlord, it posed an existential threat to Song.

The entire nation was terrified, shaken to its core.

But the terms of surrender offered by Chu were indeed challenging for Xie Ning to decide on, which is why he had been hesitant to commit.

“How are things in the Nations of Nanzhao and Dali?

How have they responded to Chu’s terms?”

After a long hesitation, Xie Ning looked toward the Group of Ministers below and suddenly asked.

This time Chu’s military campaign was not only directed at Song but also at the entire regions of Lingnan and the southwest, the remaining three countries outside the Chu system.

Among the three nations, Song was undoubtedly the weakest.

Whether in terms of territory, population, or the number of Grandmasters, it was the least powerful.

Thus, Song’s decision could not influence the entire situation among the Three Nations.

Nanzhao and Dali, the two Yi countries, were the true key players in deciding whether this southwestern region could peacefully change flags.

“Your Majesty, like our own country, Dali has yet to respond to Chu.

But in Nanzhao, recent messages indicate that their entire nation seems to have agreed to Chu’s terms.

They are currently negotiating with Chu’s Envoy, discussing tribute and the establishment of a fiefdom.”
