Chapter 180

The mobilization of various Immortal Sects was naturally all under the surveillance of the Guyou Immortal Dynasty and the Tianfang Immortal Sect.

After learning the news that the Lu Family Immortal Clan actually wanted to participate with the whole clan, Li Yue, an Immortal of the Guyou Immortal Dynasty, spoke:

"The Lu Family Immortal Clan has four Land Immortals in one family, and countless elites within the clan. If they participate, I fear this campaign of ours will be very difficult to fight, plus so many Immortal Sects sending people together, the final number of cultivators sent might be at least two million. This is not something our dynasty can withstand."

The Five-Complete Daoist of the Tianfang Immortal Sect heard this and replied:

"The Lu Family Immortal Clan is indeed powerful, but as long as we don't send Land Immortals to take the field directly, those people won't actively incur karma. This campaign is a contest of the strength of cultivators below the Land Immortal level, and in this aspect, the twelve Immortal Dynasties have the advantage.

The Lu Family Immortal Clan is moving out with the whole clan; I didn't expect this point, but it doesn't matter. At most, it is just the strength of three sects combined. The Fanli Immortal Dynasty is already prepared to enter, and subsequently, I will continue to launch other Immortal Dynasties to join. You don't need to worry; just ensure the momentum of moving forward without retreat."

Li Yue knew that the Five-Complete Daoist wanted to borrow the momentum of the war to obtain cultivation improvement, so he certainly would not allow the war to fail, so he did not doubt his words.

The Lu Family Immortal Clan, from top to bottom, learned of the mobilization order for the whole clan to fight, and for a time, there was some public resentment.

Eight hundred years of running rampant had indeed made them accustomed to this life of being above others; they didn't need to kill and fight like those small sect cultivators or rogue cultivators, and they didn't even need to have sect contribution points like other large sects. They could continuously obtain resources just by relying on their status as blood descendants of the Lu Family Immortal Clan.

Such a comfortable cultivation environment was suddenly broken.

Everyone had to participate in the war, and at least kill two enemies of the same realm before they could return to the clan.

After such an order was issued, voices of opposition rose one after another.

But Lu Guanfei was not some delicate queen, but a ruthless and domineering empress!

Any clansman who clamored to resist was directly punished until they were willing to participate in the war.

On this day, the whole clan assembly, over a million people gathered here.

Lu Guanfei stood in the air with a hundred-zhang Dharma image, looking down at the many clansmen, and spoke:

"The ancestors of my Lu Family Immortal Clan, through brambles and thorns, spent countless efforts to have the prosperity of the Lu Family Immortal Clan today. However, eight hundred years of ease and enjoyment have made you lose your bloodiness and the ability to strive and fight, which is wrong.

Therefore, in this great battle, the Ancestor has instructed that everyone must participate and must not be slack! Anyone who slacks in the war will be killed!"

The Lu family today is no longer that small family in Chanyun Mountain with only a few hundred members. At that time, every clansman with a spirit root was very precious, so they were all very tolerant toward them; as long as there were no principled major problems, they tried their best to let them survive.

But now, the Lu clan, those with spirit roots who have stepped into the path of cultivation, already number in the millions.

With so many people, it is time to eliminate a batch of stubborn and incompetent ones, leave better bloodlines, and carry out survival of the fittest.

A large family that wants to pass down for ten thousand, or even one hundred thousand or one million years, needs a complete elimination mechanism, just like the human body needs to deal with necrotic tissue and diseased parts in time; the bad parts within the clan also need to be dealt with.

Lu Runping had originally planned to come up with a set of reasonable rules so that the people of the Lu Family Immortal Clan would undergo survival of the fittest every once in a while.

But he didn't expect the Immortal Dynasty invasion to break out.

It was just as well to use this war to carry out an elimination.

In fact, the million Lu clansmen had already carved up the resources within this area of the Lianze Domain, and they were also facing a problem of internal struggle or external expansion.

Lu Runping was of course planning for external expansion; his vision was to let the brilliance of the Lu Family Immortal Clan shine on the Nine Provinces, but he just hadn't had enough strength and a reasonable way to intervene. The Immortal Dynasty invasion was a very good way.

He had already given instructions that the result of this war required not only resisting the invasion but also counter-invading.

The Lu Family Immortal Clan wants to land on Beizheng Sizhou and establish branch clans.

Investing so much manpower and material resources, it is impossible to just fight a counter-attack war; Lu Runping would never let himself suffer a loss.

He doesn't like to owe others karma, and he doesn't like others to owe him karma.

Many clansmen had resistance to the war, but there were also some who were very excited.

That is the young and vigorous faction of the Lu Family Immortal Clan.

The so-called "young and vigorous faction" refers to a group of genius cultivators under three hundred years old whose cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul realm or above.

They have high talent and possess the top resources of the Lu Family Immortal Clan, so their strength is also very strong.

However, also because of such an identity, no one dared to provoke them, so they had no chance to fight a great battle.

Although the people of the Lu Family Immortal Clan are usually arrogant, on the whole, their family upbringing is very strict, so they didn't say they would actively provoke trouble; at most, they would arrange a duel with people from other sects.

That kind of battle really couldn't let them let go.

War is a very good way to vent; their strength finally had a place to be exerted.

The "old and outdated faction" is a group of people whose cultivation is not very high, whose age is already very old, and who only want to enjoy the various privileges brought by their current status as Lu clansmen and no longer continue to pursue the Great Dao or manage the family.

These people have superior living conditions and naturally do not want to take the risk of participating in the war.

But Lu Guanfei's majesty is not something anyone can touch; they could only complain in private, and after the war started, they could only bite the bullet and go up.

The location of the battle was on the border of the Beihuang Yu, and the precise location was in the Yan Long Shan Mai area.

This is located in a wilderness, with few living things and rare human footprints, which is a good place for cultivators to fight.

The melee of cultivators is terrifying, especially cultivators above the Dao Integration realm, who can cause the earth to crack and the sky to collapse, overturning rivers and seas, and are very destructive.

This destructive power was very obvious, once causing the entire wilderness terrain to sink.

After the great battle lasted for two months, the Yan Long Shan Mai was gone.

Replacing it was a huge basin, in which there were gullies, cracks, protruding mountain peaks, and even glaciers and volcanoes; all kinds of strange terrains appeared within this area.

All were caused by different spells.

If a Qi Refining realm cultivator crossed here alone, they might die directly inside.

Because in some unknown places, there remained the sword intent of sword cultivators, the array formations of array cultivators, and the Dao pressure of great powerful experts.

As long as one unfortunately encountered them and the cultivation was not enough, one would die very miserably.

The Fanli Immortal Dynasty joined the battlefield in the middle of the second month of the great battle, directly investing 800,000 cultivators, and then continued to increase troops.

The cultivators of the Tianfang Immortal Sect were divided into two parts at this time: one part influenced the war situation in the Beihuang Yu, and the other part entered the twelve Immortal Dynasties to spread and promote war rhetoric.

Continuously lobbying other Immortal Dynasties to join the invasion war against Donghua Zhenzhou.

In the fourth month of the war, the Dazhi Immortal Dynasty and the Chongri Immortal Dynasty joined, each increasing troops by one million.

The number of one million, compared to the hundreds of billions of population of each continent, looks like it is not much.

But these are all cultivators, and the lowest cultivation is the late Qi Refining realm; those with cultivation below the late Qi Refining realm have no qualifications to participate in the war.

A million-scale is already a destructive force.

If it weren't for the fact that the land of the Nine Provinces is very vast, if it were changed to a smaller continent, such as a land with a population of only seven billion, perhaps the entire continent would have been beaten to pieces in half a month.

In the eighth month of the war, the Shidi Immortal Dynasty, the Jiuyu Immortal Dynasty, the Linghua Immortal Dynasty, and the Baisheng Immortal Dynasty joined the war one after another.

From the moment the Lu Family Immortal Clan actively joined the war, at the war level, Donghua Zhenzhou had always maintained an advantage, and the ratio of the invading enemy to the number of deaths on one's own side was maintained between two to one.

That is to say, for cultivators of the same level, it takes two people from Beizheng Sizhou to trade for one person on the Donghua Zhenzhou side.

The addition of four new Immortal Dynasties meant that eight of the twelve Immortal Dynasties of Beizheng Sizhou had joined the war, and the addition of four new Immortal Dynasties represented that the entire Beizheng Sizhou and Donghua Zhenzhou had launched a campaign.

Although the bottom-level cultivators all knew that this was just a game of chess between the high-level officials of both sides, they, as chess pieces, had no choice.

They could of course choose to find a place to hide, but how many are really willing to do so?

War means huge risks, but it also means huge opportunities.

Picking up a Dharma treasure at random might be something that couldn't be earned after decades of struggle; picking up a storage ring is equivalent to opening a blind box, and basically, they are all big gift packages.

Many people joined the war with the idea of making a fortune and leaving, but once they really made their first fortune and became rich overnight, they would want more.

The richer people are, the more they want to be richer.

Because they have lived that kind of poor life and know what it feels like, they don't want to return to that state.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality; that is the truth.

Put it among cultivators, and it is the same.

After getting rich once through war wealth, they will think about doing it again.

Then it's another time, time and time again, until the war ends, or their own war ends.

The eight great Immortal Dynasties of Beizheng Sizhou joined the war, and the power of the teleportation array was turned to the maximum.

And from the addition of the four great Immortal Dynasties afterward, some people estimated that at least 100,000 cultivators died every day, and more than three million in a month.

The war entered a white-hot state, and the demon clans in the Beihuang Yu all ran away; even in the coastal area, there were no demonic beasts, and they all fled far away from the battlefield to take refuge.

Human cultivators are too ruthless, killing even their own people so fiercely; how could they dare to continue staying here.

If they were accidentally affected, they would be wiped out directly.

Under this state of war, the population of the Lu Family Immortal Clan was also decreasing rapidly, but Lu Runping discovered that the luck of the Lu Family Immortal Clan was steadily increasing.

Besides the effect of elite-ization, it was more of a feedback from heaven and earth.

In a sense, the mass death of cultivators is good for the world.

Cultivators seize the creation of heaven and earth to condense themselves, and after death, they turn into various energies to feed back into the world.

The Lu Family Immortal Clan is both a promoter and a participant, and obtaining the feedback of the world's power is also a matter of course.
