Ziyun True Person, after revealing these secrets, turned his gaze to the people gathered around.
The other True Persons from various Dao Veins also cast their gazes over.
Those from the six families and seven clans, as well as Lu Yuan, all lowered their heads to avoid the gaze.
Indeed, as Ziyun Daoist said, the top ten Cave Worlds are all occupied. And their owners are these True Persons standing here.
If an outsider wants to cultivate and seek the Dao, they must snatch a Cave World from these True Persons first.
As vested interests, how could these True Persons give up their own path of cultivation to make way for outsiders?
A life-and-death struggle is inevitable.
However, to compete with these Dao Veins for the Cave Worlds, led by True Persons with strength comparable to the Innate Realm, the chances of success…
It can only be said that even if the Da Yue court exhausts all its strength and risks its national fortune, it may not necessarily succeed.
After all, Ziyun Daoist said it.
His strength alone could rival an Innate Great Grandmaster in martial arts.
Such figures, known as Earthly Gods and Immortals, are nearly indistinguishable from gods.
Speaking of such beings, not to mention the Da Yue court, no one in the world has ever heard of even one.
In other words, these Immortal Sect Dao Veins possess an absolute advantage on top combat power.
In an Immortal Martial World where all great powers converge together, a single top-tier fighter can be enough to determine the overall situation of the world.
Therefore, unless the owners of the top ten Cave Worlds fight each other, the current arrangement of the Immortal Cultivation World is fixed and is unlikely to change.
However, judging by the synchronized movements, unity, and coordination of the six True Persons, it’s evident that they’re mostly on the same side.
If the ten major Cave Worlds are united, then the later generations’ chances of embarking on the path of immortality are indeed gone, and it will be impossible to enter the Immortal Method again.
‘So, is my path to immortality severed before I even begin cultivating?’
Lu Yuan had this thought, and then immediately denied it: ‘No, that’s impossible. I still have the jade token of Immortal Fate. According to what Ziyun Dao Master said, the force that transformed my Inner Strength inside the jade token should be the now rare Immortal Spirit energy.
That is to say, my jade token should contain a considerable amount of Immortal Spirit energy, which makes it equivalent to a Spiritual Stone in the cultivation novels.
With this jade token, I still have a chance to practice Immortal Techniques.
The most challenging part now is figuring out how to activate the jade token.
According to my previous speculation, the reason I can’t activate the token is that I lack something similar to Divine Sense, which prevents me from breaking the seals within the jade token and unlocking its power.
When one’s Martial Arts reach the Innate Realm, they will gradually touch upon their spirit. By then, I may be able to develop something similar to the Divine Sense in the Immortal Method, which should allow me to activate the jade token.
Once the jade token is activated, I may be able to obtain the Immortal Technique and use the Immortal Spirit energy within the jade token to begin my path of cultivation.’
Lu Yuan quickly comforted himself and, as he did so, thought of another plan.
‘Even if I cannot rely on the jade token to cultivate, it doesn’t mean it is the end of the road. Didn’t the Zhen Xuan Elder Daoist say that his strength is equivalent to a Martial Arts Grandmaster?
So, as long as I can cultivate to the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster and cultivate several Inborn Grandmasters, I will then have the strength to seize a Dao Vein’s Cave World.
Although I am not sure why, in the words of Elder Zhen Xuan, it is difficult for
a Martial Arts Grandmaster to arise in this world where it is easier to practice martial arts and harder to cultivate immortality.
But with my infinite lifespan, I could very possibly breakthrough to the Martial Arts Grandmaster level in just a hundred or two hundred years.
By then, there should still be some Immortal Spirit energy left in the top ten Cave Worlds, which should allow me to practice Immortal Techniques.
This is a safe plan, albeit a time-consuming one.
However, waiting too long might lead to the depletion of all Immortal Spirit energy, with all the spiritual energies being consumed. The world would then enter the Age of Dharma Decline, which carries great risks.
So, unless necessary, this plan can only be the last resort.’
Lu Yuan’s mind raced, and in an instant, he thought of two escape routes. Thus, his heart, which had wavered slightly due to Ziyun Daoist’s revelation, became determined once again.
Unlike others, he truly has a way out.
Since he has an escape route, he has nothing to fear.
Even if he cannot become immortal, just being a Martial Arts Grandmaster in such an Age of Dharma Decline would be enough to be unrivaled in the world.
If he cannot be like Li Xiaoyao, then being Emperor Shitian is also not bad at all.
Seeing that Lu Yuan and the others tactfully stepped back, the likes of Zhen Xuan and other True Persons were quite satisfied in their hearts.
It is not that they deliberately want to show off, but the representatives of the biggest challengers to their Dao Veins are here – namely Lu Yuan and the others.
Not to mention Lu Yuan, who’s about to break through to the Innate Realm, his strength alone could rival any of the True Persons here, apart from Zhen Xuan.
Furthermore, the combined strength of the six families and seven clans could also create several Innate experts, not to mention countless first-rate and second-rate ones.
Such combined power indeed poses a threat to any Dao Veins.
If they don’t suppress and intimidate these people, the likes of Zhen Xuan and other True Persons would inevitably be restless at night.
Therefore, demonstrating their power and unity, maintaining a coordinated stance before outsiders, and confirming their own position and influence in the Dao through the assembly are all necessary means to consolidate their status and safety in the Dao Veins..
