Take Jintai Gate for instance.
After witnessing the fate of their once-familiar neighbor, Phoenix High Mountain,
how could Jintai Gate not panic in the face of Giant Spirit Sect invading the Southern Domain, occupying Qingyu Country, and becoming their new neighbor?
The lesson was right in front of them; the bones of Phoenix High Mountain hadn’t even gone cold yet.
Wouldn’t Jintai Gate fear becoming the next Phoenix High Mountain?
And the answer is, of course, they were afraid.
So, when Taiping Dao erged in the Southern Domain, Jintai Gate, feeling threatened by Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, imdiately gravitated towards them, volunteering to be the pawn in Taiping Dao’s struggle against Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
Such submissive behavior was not without reason.
Because if they didn’t cling to Taiping Dao now, once Jiuzhou Immortal Gate repelled Taiping Dao, Jintai Gate would be the next to suffer.
This was about survival, not rely a case of one’s lips being cold when their teeth fall out. They had no choice but to be earnest.
But as Jintai Gate put their heart into it, it was Giant Spirit Sect’s turn to suffer.
With such a local snake on their side, Taiping Dao effortlessly took over the entire Qingyang Country before their rivals could react.
The forces of Taiping Dao swiftly established a new branch in this territory.
Qingyang and Anyu, these two neighboring countries, thus beca interlocked like the sides of an angle, forming an iron barrier, staunchly blocking Jiuzhou Immortal Gate from further infiltrating the Southern Domain.
If they didn’t take advantage of Taiping Dao’s current unstable foothold to drive them out of Qingyang Country,
they feared that once Taiping Dao beca firmly established, they would have to abandon any hope of ever claiming an inch of land in the Southern Domain.
As such, when the news of Taiping Dao seizing Qingyang Country reached them, Giant Spirit Sect responded swiftly, imdiately dispatching the recently returned Xiao Yizhi from Mi Yun Mountain to provide support and strengthen local defenses.
"Fellow disciple, cough cough… What does Purple Cloud Sect have to say?"
The head of the Phoenix High Mountain branch of the Giant Spirit Sect, Sun Yuecai, asked his fellow disciple with a pale face.
"School Leader has already notified Master ng about the changes here and requested aid. Now, Master ng is aware and urgently mobilizing reinforcents to support us.
If everything goes well, once Master Huang of the Heavenly River Sect arrives to take over for Master Ding at Haiyun Pavilion in the Western Domain, Master Ding will personally lead the reinforcents here to help us counter Taiping Dao.
With Master Ding’s intervention, Taiping Dao will surely have to regurgitate everything they’ve swallowed today.
Daring to snatch from the bowl of Jiuzhou Immortal Gate – do they really think they have the teeth for it?"
Xiao Yizhi snorted coldly, his anger towards Taiping Dao unconcealed. He then turned to his junior brother with concern, "Junior brother, you were just injured by the scoundrels of Taiping Dao. You should go back and rest now, ditate and heal.
It’s still so ti before Master Ding’s arrival.
We have to wait for Master Huang to settle the affairs of the Heavenly River Sect and arrive in the Western Domain.
At best, the whole process might take two to three days; there’s still ti before the big battle begins.
During this interval, junior brother, you should focus on recovering from your injuries to prepare for the battle in a few days.
Here at Phoenix High Mountain, your senior brother is watching over things. I won’t let those Taiping Dao scoundrels take advantage of any gaps."
Although Giant Spirit Sect was barely regarded as a major Immortal Sect, what enabled them to maintain this status was their possession of three countries and the only three True Persons in the sect.
If any of the three fellow disciples t with misfortune, the rising montum of Giant Spirit Sect would instantly plumt.
Falling from the status of a major sect to that of an ordinary one.
With Jiuzhou Immortal Gate as a backer, Giant Spirit Sect needn’t worry about their Tao Inheritance being extinguished by outsiders during their vulnerable tis.
But if this period of montum was disrupted, to recover their vitality would require trendous effort and ti.
In an era when Jiuzhou Immortal Gate is on the rise and actively expanding, Giant Spirit Sect was adamant not to fall behind.
Thus, protecting the sect’s only three True Persons was their utmost priority.
This task even took precedence over Qingyu Country.
Because without a True Person, they wouldn’t have the strength to defend, and losing Qingyu Country was inevitable – Giant Spirit Sect would still be destined to lose this place.
But if Qingyu Country was lost and the three True Persons remained,
with their strength, they could slowly wait for opportunities to try and reclaim it or carve out new territory elsewhere.
This is the principle that "if you lose the land but keep the people, both can be restored; if you lose the people, the land is irretrievable."
Hearing his fellow disciple’s concern, Sun Yuecai nodded. "Don’t worry, elder brother, I understand the priorities and won’t risk myself unnecessarily. Now that you’re here, I’ll leave Phoenix High Mountain in your care and go into seclusion to heal.
In a few days when Master Ding arrives, you and I, side by side with other fellow disciples from various sects, will give those Taiping scoundrels a good fight.
I’m determined to avenge today’s humiliation."
Sun Yuecai was particularly dissatisfied with being cowardly beaten by those of Taiping Dao with higher Cultivation and the aid of Immortal Artifacts, causing him to retreat injured.
What skill is there in bullying the weak? What skill is there in exploiting external tools?
Have the guts to send soone with equal Cultivation, without relying on external tools, to fight one-on-one and see who wins!
Oh, of the re two Human Immortals in Taiping Dao, both have late-stage Cultivation, and none match his early-stage state, so forget it, never mind.
