As the date of the new School Leader’s ascension approached, Immortal Sect ssengers from the north and south of Tiannan and all corners of the regions began to arrive at Mi Yun Mountain one after another.
For a mont, Mi Yun Mountain beca bustling with gathered Immortals.
Among the ssengers, so True Persons who hadn’t been seen for a long ti also took the opportunity to et and discuss the Tao, drink and play rrily.
And so of those with intentions also took the opportunity to walk around the Mountain.
In the Cave Mansion of the Taiping Dao School Leader.
Lu Yuan looked at Yang Jihua who had co to pay a visit and, to preempt the other party’s speech, he said, "Friend Yang, I know what you want to say, but I’m about to no longer be the School Leader of the Taiping Dao. Without this position, even if I wanted to help you, I would be powerless."
"School Leader Lu, why do you say so?"
Yang Jihua, looking at the sowhat cold Lu Yuan, couldn’t help but smile bitterly with helplessness.
He ca to the Southern Domain with a heavy responsibility, and the first thing he did after arriving at Mi Yun Mountain was to visit Lu Yuan.
Although this School Leader Lu was about to step down soon, he had been in the position for four hundred years and still held the position, with all the power in his hands not a bit lacking.
Moreover, even after stepping down, with his strength and experience, his status within Taiping Dao wouldn’t be poor.
It could not be ruled out that he could still control a lot of power and exert influence behind the scenes.
The School Leader was rely stepping down, not losing power; in the Immortal Realm, as long as one’s cultivation remains, everything else remains.
It’s not like mundane Dynasties where losing an official position ans losing everything.
So, if he could persuade him, even if it was just to open a small opportunity, it could bring great benefits to Changqing Immortal Sect.
This was also the reason Yang Jihua sought Lu Yuan imdiately after arriving.
He believed that the other party would definitely not be willing to step down easily and give up the vast power at hand.
As long as there’s a hint of reluctance, facing the olive branch extended by Changqing Immortal Sect, there might be a chance to grasp it.
And once he took the bait, his own purpose would be achieved.
But looking at it now, this route seed to be impassable.
"I know what you’ve been doing within my Taiping Dao over the years; people like Yu Shipei have countless ties with Changqing Immortal Sect behind the scenes.
Yet I know about these and still do not interfere, why is that?"
Lu Yuan looked at the slightly flustered Yang Jihua, and spoke indifferently, "Because this School Leader wants to develop Taiping Dao, to grow Taiping Dao. Forr School Leader Yi’s governance was too biased towards one side, even to the point of harming the interests of Taiping Dao, and had been close with Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
It caused Taiping Dao to develop for three hundred years, yet still marking ti, without much progress.
Thus, when I took over, I opened our doors wider, allowed more people to join, allowed more people to be valued, let more people have a broader Heaven and Earth for developnt.
Therefore, I took a moderate and balanced approach, made friends with all parties, allowed the disciples to develop on their own, and interact with outsiders.
This was to leverage the strength of the external world to help the disciples grow, to enhance the strength of our Taiping Dao.
As a result, in four hundred years, the strength of Taiping Dao rapidly flourished, branches spread across the Southern Domain, with four thousand inner disciples and no less than eighty direct disciples.
Among those disciples, even two True Immortals erged.
These are the achievents of my governance.
Likewise, such developnt couldn’t have co without the help of your sects and others.
For this, I’ve always been grateful, and I would like to offer my thanks here."
Lu Yuan gave a bow to Yang Jihua to express his gratitude.
If it weren’t for the opponent’s desperate corruption of Taiping Dao’s disciples, offering a large number of benefits, various heavenly treasures, elixirs, and fortuitous adventures sent wave after wave.
How could the growth of those young disciples of the Taiping Dao have been so rapid?
In just a re seven hundred years, they raised two True Immortals.
Although with the heritage of Taiping Dao, occupying the territory of seven nations, raising two True Immortals in seven hundred years is only the norm.
But one must know.
Taiping Dao held seven nations, of which more than ninety percent of the heritage was occupied by Lu Yuan and his Avatars.
For seven hundred years, the resources of five nations were continuously enjoyed by them.
Occasionally, they would release one nation to their disciples for a re hundred years before taking it back.
The real heritage that Taiping Dao invested in cultivating disciples was actually only equivalent to that of an ordinary Immortal Sect occupying one nation.
And how hard is it for those ordinary Immortal Sects to raise a True Immortal?
Often a thousand years would pass without producing a True Immortal.
Yet, with the sa resources, Taiping Dao only took a short seven hundred years to raise two True Immortals.
Such efficiency is simply astonishing.
How did this achievent co about?
Lu Yuan didn’t put heart into cultivating disciples; it couldn’t be that the disciples cultivated themselves, right? There must have been soone who made sacrifices.
Who made the sacrifices?
Naturally, it was Jiuzhou Immortal Gate and Changqing Immortal Sect.
They spent their own wealth to help his sect raise disciples; such selfless dedication moved people to tears.
Now Taiping Dao has four thousand disciples and two True Immortals, all thanks to those two neighbors, all good people indeed.
As for those who helped, naturally, Lu Yuan was grateful.
They are the heroes in the revival of Taiping Dao.
However, after expressing gratitude, his expression turned cold again, "While I’m grateful to you in my heart, I’m also equally indignant at your actions. You helped the revival of Taiping Dao, and I rember this help deeply.
But the original intention of your help was to corrupt Taiping Dao, to buy over our disciples, to have them serve as your insiders, betraying the interests of Taiping Dao.
