After the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate chose to retreat, these cannon fodder, originally planned to be consud in the war, managed to escape disaster and successfully survived.
Lu Yuan was also helpless about this situation.
Fortunately, sustaining so lower-level cultivators only consud a small amount of Spiritual Energy and a large amount of mundane food, which wasn’t a great pressure for the Taiping Dao, which controlled the entire Southern Domain.
Moreover, most of the lower-tier disciples had poor innate talent, and in their lifeti, if they could reach Gathering Two Qi, they would have basically reached their limit.
A cultivator at Gathering Two Qi could at most live for three hundred years.
To the Taiping Dao, this period of ti was rely a blink of an eye.
As it turned out.
Just a century had passed, and the initially gathered over twenty thousand lower-tier recorded disciples had already reduced by half.
A large number of cultivators at Gathering One or Two Qi, unable to Breakthrough Realm and in despair, unwillingly succumbed to ditation and passed away.
The burden on the Taiping Dao instantly halved.
And the remaining half, without having made any breakthroughs in realm, were also getting along in years.
Estimating that a little over a hundred years would clear out all the recorded disciples.
By then, the Taiping Dao would also be able to rid itself of these burdens and return to the status of a normal Immortal Sect.
Although a large number of lower-tier disciples were eliminated, among these people, quite a few heroes had erged.
Anyway, there were more than twenty thousand cultivators, and although most had low innate talent, there were always so with acceptable talent and remarkable comprehension.
So were extrely lucky, stumbling upon opportunities right after leaving ho, obtaining relics left by predecessors, or finding Heaven and Earth Spirit Materials, truly transforming themselves and soaring to the skies.
Under the number of twenty thousand, the probability of such types of disciples appearing was still quite high.
Those who stood out from the bottom-tier recorded disciples, in this past century, including every possible category, the Taiping Dao had roughly gathered around four hundred people.
These were all accepted as inner disciples by the Taiping Dao and could be considered to have finally made it through.
The remaining ten thousand or so, although basically the leftovers, could potentially surge once more, possibly adding another hundred inner disciples.
These were grassroots heroes who had fought their way out from the bottom-tier recorded disciples.
As for those who already had a Cultivation of Gathering Three Qi or above, who were given the status of inner disciples and even true inheritance disciples upon joining, there was no need to ntion them.
After joining the broader platform of the Taiping Dao and gaining access to more abundant resources.
These elite disciples had, more or less, improved one or two Cultivation realms within this century.
The ones at Gathering Three Qi had upgraded to Gathering Four Qi or even Five Qi Towards Primordial.
Those at Gathering Four Qi utilized the hundred years to accumulate depth, striving to refine their Divine Souls towards turning into Immortal Souls, a large number becoming Five Qi Towards Primordial.
As for those who were already at Five Qi Towards Primordial, so had sat in ditation and passed away due to reaching the end of their Lifespan.
But more of them were preparing to beco immortal.
Five Qi Towards Primordial cultivators, in order to beco immortal and form the Dao Fruit, had to surmount three challenges.
That is, their Magic Power had to reach the requirents of the Immortal Realm, their Divine Powers had to reach the requirents of the Immortal Realm, and their Enlightennt of the Great Tao had to reach the Immortal Realm requirents.
Only by transforming one’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit into that befitting an Immortal, could they form the Dao Fruit.
Here, Essence represents Magic Power, Qi represents Divine Powers, and Spirit represents Enlightennt of the Great Tao.
If a cultivator satisfies any one of these three, they can attempt becoming immortal.
However, the success rate of cultivators who only et one requirent for the Immortal Realm when attempting to beco immortal, will be very low.
They essentially have a one or two percent chance of forming the Dao Fruit.
If they want to increase their chances, they can only take the route of balanced developnt.
eting one criterion provides a ten to twenty percent chance of success; satisfying two criteria, there is over a fifty percent chance; satisfying all three, there is a ninety percent chance or more.
However, for most cultivators, after they reach Five Qi Towards Primordial, they are generally around three hundred years old.
With the Eight hundred years lifespan at Five Qi Towards Primordial, they only have about five hundred years left to accumulate and reach the Immortal Realm requirents for their Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
And five hundred years, for most ordinary geniuses, is just about enough to reach the Immortal qualifications in one aspect of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Of course, there are cultivators who manage to fulfill more than two criteria.
For example, among the three requirents of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, the Qi aspect, which is Divine Powers, tends to be less challenging to develop into Immortal Realm ability.
It’s rely a Divine Power that can compete with that of an Immortal.
Cultivators who strive to achieve Five Qi Towards Primordial, if they are willing to put in the hard work and study diligently, still have a very high success rate.
If all goes well, they might be able to cultivate a Divine Power of the Immortal Realm within a couple of hundred years.
Then naturally, they would use most of the remaining ti to tackle the other two aspects.
However, Essence, which represents Magic Power, and Spirit, which represents Enlightennt of the Great Tao, are much more difficult to attain.
One transforms your body into that of a True Immortal, while the other turns your Divine Soul into the soul of a True Immortal.
Laying a full foundation for these two aspects requires an unimaginable amount of effort and resources.
Without sufficient family background, most people simply cannot et these conditions.
If Lu Yuan were willing to sponsor a disciple and provide them with an enormous amount of resources, indeed, they could accomplish these things.
But the problem is,
with so many resources, why wouldn’t he use them to refine a new Avatar for himself? Isn’t that more attractive?
Why should he help those ordinary disciples?
So, apart from those true disciples who have all the hopes of a sect pinned on them, other ordinary true disciples generally don’t receive such treatnt.
And in Taiping Dao, with the option of using Avatars, it’s even less likely that such treatnt would be available.
Those true disciples who wish to beco Immortals can only rely on themselves to fight and put in the effort.
Apart from basic entitlents, Lu Yuan is not going to offer much help.
However, human potential is imnse.
Even without much assistance from the sect, so disciples, who originally had considerable family resources or had accumulated quite a bit,
such as forr school leaders, clan leaders, and elders from Qing Mountain Pavilion and Wind Thunder Fortress, or so disciples who have traveled abroad and are incredibly fortunate,
have, over the course of a hundred years, managed to fulfill the requirents for one aspect of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, reaching the basic criteria for Gathering Dao Fruit.
Lu Yuan has granted seven such individuals the status of true disciple in total.
These seven satisfied disciples are now striving hard to complete sect missions, accumulating contributions in order to exchange for an opportunity provided internally by the sect to Breakthrough into the Immortal Realm.
Indeed,
to motivate disciples and cultivate talent, Lu Yuan has long made available in the sect the chance to obtain a national fate, with provisions for a hundred years.
Given a hundred years, disciples with great potential and talent can typically break through to beco an Earth Immortal.
Those who cannot achieve this breakthrough can only bla their own lack of destiny, not others.
The requirent for obtaining this opportunity is to complete enough contributions and then use those contributions to submit an exchange request to the sect.
Of course, Lu Yuan is not running a charity.
Even though all his disciples are his own people, clear accounts need to be kept between brothers, and he will not be taken advantage of.
For those Five Qi Towards Primordial disciples wanting to exchange for such an opportunity, they would generally need to serve the sect diligently for more than two hundred years before they could et the requirents for exchange.
Two hundred years to et the minimum requirents for Qi Divine Powers, two hundred years of dedicated service, followed by a hundred years to breakthrough, so for those disciples, they must achieve Five Qi Towards Primordial by the age of three hundred at the latest in order to have a chance at a single shot at the Immortal Realm.
This criterion itself has already weeded out many disciples.
In the ranks of Five Qi Towards Primordial disciples, perhaps only two or three out of ten can et these conditions.
This is also a asure Lu Yuan has taken to prevent a future where there are too many disciples striving for Five Qi Towards Primordial, all coming to him to exchange for a chance at Immortality,
and subsequently leading to an overuse of the national fate of small countries under his control, which would in turn affect his own Cultivation. He has set a restriction in advance.
With this limitation in place, it can be roughly ensured that only one or two small countries are exchanged by those qualified disciples over a long period,
while the majority of small countries remain under his control for the Cultivation of himself and his Avatars.
If those disciples turn out to be disappointnts, then all the more so can he enjoy all of the national fate to himself,
Of course, that is not what Lu Yuan wants to see.
After all, he also wishes to cultivate more successors to add more strength to his subordinates.
Otherwise, he would not have opened up such a path to advancent.
In terms of cultivating talent, he is serious.
And the heritage of Taiping Dao’s sect, along with the accumulation at the Mountain Gate and the growth of the disciples, is slowly being established.
