Chapter 766: Chapter 335: Cultivating the True Teaching
After reaching an agreement of intent to cooperate with Feishuang Tao, the elder Daoist monk didn’t rush to leave.
Several details about cooperation with Feishuang Tao had yet to be discussed in detail by both sides.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
For example, when could the three guardian deities of Feishuang Tao, who would help Chu State, arrive?
Lu Yuan was in dire need of innate experts, so naturally, the sooner the three deities arrived, the better.
In response to this, Jinyun hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
He promised that within a month, he would ensure the arrival of the three guardian deities in the Chu State to serve.
However, as a result…
The identities of these three deities should not be disclosed for the time being.
After all, Feishuang Tao was still located in Miluo Mountain, within the Guangling County of Ning Country.
Although this Immortal Sect claimed to be transcendent, in reality, it was still somewhat restricted by Ning Country.
Now that Ning Country had established a partnership with Ziyun Tao, if they found out about Feishuang Tao’s disloyalty, it was uncertain what measures they might take.
Of course.
Under the current global ascension backdrop, cultivators from Feishuang Tao and Ziyun Tao had reached a consensus to move forward together.
For a common ascension goal, it was improbable for both sides to fall out.
However, while there wouldn’t be a fallout, secret schemes and joining forces with Ning Country to undermine Feishuang Tao were inevitable.
Therefore, to avoid these troubles, Feishuang Tao did not wish to disclose its alliance with Chu State just yet, and naturally, the identities of the guardian deities had to be concealed.
Lu Yuan naturally had no issues with this and agreed readily.
He desperately required Inborn Grandmasters to fill the defense void in his territories.
As for his avatar Huang Xuan, it was confirmed that he would station in Hanzhong, taking charge of the northwest defense of the Chu State.
Once Huang Xuan left, Xichuan and Hegu counties would lack an Inborn Grandmaster to guard them.
To ensure the stability of the two counties, at least one Inborn Grandmaster would need to be stationed in Xichuan.
However, in the Chu State…
Of the existing six Inborn Grandmasters, Sun Siwen, as the prime minister, oversaw the entire political affairs and could not leave the capital.
Lan Cai’er, being the queen and ruler of the kingdom, could not station elsewhere for a long period.
Zhou Qing was in Xiangyang County, Qingyunzi in Qianzhong County, and Huang Xuan in Hanzhong County.
After learning about the alliance between Ning Country and Ziyun Tao, Lu Yuan realized that with just Sun Siwen and Lan Cai’er, they could not guarantee the security of Baling.
Only if he himself personally guarded it, could he feel completely secure and ensure no lapses in the rear
So, it was a challenge to find the right person among the six Inborn Grandmasters of Chu State to fill in the gap in Xichuan’s defenses.
As for the spiritual woman of the Great Mohism, who was hurrying over for the royal marriage?
By the same logic, as a wife of the King of Chu, it would be absurd for her to station elsewhere for a long period.
She could solve the immediate needs, but it was impossible to use her as a stationed general for a long period.
Rapidly recruiting and training new masters for Chu State had become a pressing matter.
If they could get the three Inborn Grandmasters from Feishuang Tao at this time, it would not only fill the defense gap in Xichuan County but the spare two could also be allocated to the next round of expansion.
For example, Lingnan.
With the spare two guardian deities around, Lu Yuan could conquer Su and Southsea, swiftly filling the defense gap in the newly occupied territories and stabilizing the local situation.
All the above instances showed the dire need of Chu State for Inborn Grandmasters.
However, after agreeing to allow the guardian deities to arrive in Chu State as soon as possible, Jinyun made another request: to provide a new Mountain Gate home for Feishuang Tao within Chu State as soon as possible.
If they planned to align with Chu State, they would thoroughly commit to the cause of Feishuang Tao.
Once they decided to align, they didn’t plan to remain within Ning Country’s territory and were prepared to move the entire sect to Chu State.
Since it was a complete sect relocation, it was bound to be a considerable event.
Though Feishuang Tao had few core disciples within their Mountain Gate, there were also a hundred or so disciples.
If devout core followers, peripheral elite disciples, and guardian Dao soldiers were included, the number would easily exceed three to five thousand.
And, if you included their families, even a number over ten thousand was not far-fetched.
Accommodating all these people when they migrated to Chu State would indeed require a good place to settle them.
So, finding a new home for Feishuang Tao’s Mountain Gate became a top priority.
Lu Yuan naturally couldn’t object to this. As soon as Jinyun proposed it, he agreed immediately.
Feishuang Tao’s migration to Chu State brought numerous benefits to foster the relationship between both parties.
With the sect situated within Chu State, it would be easier for Chu State to influence Feishuang Tao. Their decision to do so demonstrated their sincere attitude.
Regardless of the above.
The migration of over ten thousand people, or more accurately, over ten thousand affluent people, to Chu State would not only help increase Chu State’s population, but also significantly stimulate the local economy. The benefits were immense.
Just for this reason, Lu Yuan had no reason to refuse.
So he agreed to Jinyun’s proposal, took a map, and started looking for suitable locations within Chu State’s territory.
In the end, a high mountain located between Baling City and Changsha City, southeast of Dongting Lake, was chosen.
The mountain was called Mount Tianshu, in a strategically important location that controlled the waterway, making it a key military site.
Similarly, Mount Tianshu was a beautiful place with green mountains and clear waters. Many Cultivators and Dao Seekers had entered the mountain for cultivation, making it one of the world’s seventy-two blessed lands.
