But even if he could only regain a thousand years of lifespan, for a Grand cultivator, having an extra thousand years was an unimaginable opportunity.
Taking into account Lu Yuan’s remaining lifespan, outsiders estimated that this Taiping Dao School Leader should still have three to four thousand years to strive for Heavenly Immortal status.
The three barriers to becoming a Heavenly Immortal, in the nearby Donghua Continent, take a thousand years each to break through at the quickest.
Of course, such speed was undoubtedly reserved for the Chosen ones.
The problem was, in the eyes of outsiders, even if by using so cunning thods, Lu Yuan becoming a Grand cultivator in three thousand years was a defiance of the heavens.
Throughout ancient and modern tis, those who achieved such a feat were none other than the Chosen ones.
And each Chosen one who managed to reach the step of Grand cultivator, in the end, nearly all achieved Heavenly Immortal status.
Therefore, Lu Yuan = Chosen one = Heavenly Immortal; such an equation was easily concluded in most people’s hearts.
A character like a Chosen one, who had also reached the step of Grand cultivator and had the support of an Immortal Sect that dominated a region, along with countless allies to provide assistance,
All these conditions combined, it looked like the standard template for a great being’s rise.
If he couldn’t beco a Heavenly Immortal, then that truly defied all reason, baffling everyone.
Bathed in endless auras and the focus of outsiders, Lu Yuan was already equivalent to a Heavenly Immortal.
Naturally, no one dared to offend a Heavenly Immortal.
Although the other party had not yet achieved that status, it was only a matter of ti; perhaps in another three thousand years, the Donghua Continent would gain another Great True Person.
By then, facing this Taiping Immortal Venerate, if one had offended him at this ti, and he sought retribution later, even if one had a Great True Person as a backing, most likely one would not survive.
To a Great True Person, disciples and followers were rely hopes.
When they secluded themselves for tens of thousands of years, their disciples below would die off in many generations.
To such beings, the so-called disciples and successors were no different from mayflies in human eyes, lives that were to die within a single day.
And peers of the sa level as Great True People were those who could compete in longevity with oneself, who could truly be called "people" in the sa sense as oneself.
When a person approached you, and that person was also your neighbor, then made a request saying, "I want to crush a bug in your house because it bit ."
Would anyone refuse?
Upon weighing the pros and cons for just a mont, no Great True Person would refuse.
Therefore, even with the support of an Immortal Sect that has achieved Heavenly Immortal, when facing a Great True Person, one must consider the consequences carefully.
You have to think whether your own Great True Person would be willing to make an enemy of a peer for you,
For a re bug that existed for only a mont in your own life, to offend a potential lifelong enemy.
Just this point alone, the so-called Great True Person backing becos utterly aningless.
And without a backing, bereft of support, how many would dare to provoke a Great True Person?
Once Lu Yuan released the news of his breakthrough as a Grand cultivator, the deterrent effect was undoubtedly like that of a nuclear bomb.
Everybody knew that even if the other party had a nuclear bomb, they currently couldn’t reach them directly; at best, they could only be invincible within their own territory, impenetrable to outsiders.
But no one dared to wager that in three to five thousand years, the other party wouldn’t develop missile technology, and that nuclear bomb wouldn’t be dropped at their own doorstep alongside a missile.
Lu Yuan’s breakthrough as a Grand cultivator was like having a nuclear bomb.
Before his success, or failure in the breakthrough, no one wanted to co knocking to test the might of the nuclear bomb.
Neither did anyone want to offend him during this period and invite a formidable enemy they could not contend with.
Thus, in an instant.
When the celebration was successfully held, and Lu Yuan, in the presence of many ssengers from the Immortal Sects, exhibited his Cultivation as a Grand cultivator, there was even a long silence on the spot for a ti.
Even though they had known about the news in advance and had prepared their hearts,
The shock brought by hearing and seeing firsthand was completely different.
For the many ssengers, experiencing Lu Yuan’s suffocating montum and seeing his excessively young face, along with his vitality-filled breath,
All served to constantly remind them that he was an extrely young, yet terrifyingly powerful being.
Witnessing such a Chosen one before their very eyes, whether as seniors, peers, or juniors, the pressure in the hearts of the many ssengers was self-evident.
On that day’s celebration, countless people, regardless of their true feelings, put on smiles and respectfully offered their congratulations.
Then they pulled out all the stops, beginning to ingratiate themselves with Lu Yuan.
Those who had past grudges spared no effort to resolve them, even if it ant paying a steep price.
Those without past grievances offered up valuable gifts, which could not be refused; they ca fawning over him as if their lives depended on it.
Those who had always been on good terms also presented costly gifts, all the while reminiscing about old tis to reinforce their bonds.
Those great personages who had seed untouchable to the lowest-level cultivators,
were now prostrating before Lu Yuan, becoming the ones they once overlooked, eagerly groveling to soone who would soon beco an unreachable and exalted Great True Person.
There was no helping it.
Now everyone was a True Immortal, an Earth Immortal, or a grand cultivator, and it was still possible for them, in front of Lu Yuan, who was also still a grand cultivator, to barely manage a conversation with a fellow Daoist.
But wait three to five thousand years, when he will have risen high and achieved the status of a Great True Person,
then among the gathering today, who among them would dare to seek rapport with a Heavenly Immortal?
Do you think you’re worthy?
An insignificant existence akin to a worm, using your fleeting one-day lifespan to relate to a
human being who could live a hundred years?
It’s laughable to even think about it.
In a single day, even the most sentintal person, who might treat a worm as a pet, would hardly have ti to build a connection, would they?
Why not take advantage now, while everyone is on the sa level, before thoughts and perspectives shift, to strengthen relationships?
Once soone undergoes a life-altering leap, there won’t even be an opportunity to forge those ties.
Thus, this strange scene unfolded.
After having witnessed Lu Yuan’s strength firsthand, the Taiping Dao, once universally reviled over the past three hundred years, everyone’s enemy, suddenly beca everyone’s source of praise and camaraderie.
One Immortal Sect after another hustled to curry favor with Lu Yuan.
In front of these people, Lu Yuan rely hinted at his annoyance with the troublemaking demons and evil cultivators.
The many envoys of the Immortal Sects imdiately beat their chests in solidarity.
Such demonic heretics are a great evil in the Immortal Realm. How could they let them run rampant and tarnish the righteous path?
Once they returned, they swiftly mobilized their sect’s forces and manpower to join forces with Taiping Dao to exterminate those heretics.
The change in strength and status brought with it benefits that, during the celebration, ca knocking on their door.
This is why, in the Immortal Realm, countless cultivators exhaust every effort and even if they know they cannot break through, still strive to enhance their cultivation.
Because all cultivators understand that even the slightest improvent in cultivation will imdiately bring them benefits within the Immortal Realm, perhaps even more than they expect.
The allure of cultivation was evident at this mont.
The celebration lasted only three short days, and Lu Yuan, citing the need to stabilize his cultivation after a recent breakthrough, took leave and did not appear again.
But no one took issue with that.
The powerful always have their privileges, and every action, even those that defy the rules, tends to be interpreted favorably.
They just regretted not being able to get closer to School Leader Lu, even if just for a bit longer, even if only to speak a few more words.
To be rembered by him, to gain so familiarity, could prove useful later on and would bring them great fortune.
With the protagonist gone, this grand cultivator celebration did not continue for much longer.
After a seven-day stay, completing a ten-day visit, the envoys began to leave one after another.
And once the celebration ended, and everyone had gone back, all the Immortal Sects started to act on their promises to Lu Yuan.
Throughout the Donghua Continent, thousands of Immortal Sects banded together and promptly launched a vigorous campaign to eradicate demons and uphold the Dao Law.
Lu Yuan’s impressive display of Divine Powers, making its debut, gave the cultivators of the Donghua Continent a minor shock within the Immortal Realm.
