135: Chapter 135 Various Schools and Sects, Immortals Spreading the Dao

After the discussion among the immortals at Tianduan Mountain concluded, Emperor Xuan returned to the Xuan Kingdom. In addition to expanding the army, he also constructed sect dojos and arranged for the immortal soul ancestors of the Xuan Kingdom to preside over them.

Yes, immortal souls.

In the past, after the people of the Xuan Kingdom died, their immortal souls would generally enter the nation-guarding seal to suppress the national destiny.

However, ever since Young Ancestor Xuan awakened and the nation-guarding seal had this 'artifact spirit' to control it, the pressure on these immortal souls was greatly reduced, their consciousness was awakened, and they were resurrected once more.

Although only their souls remained and they no longer possessed their original official ranks or immortal positions in the Xuan Kingdom, their immortal-level knowledge and insight remained. This was a rare treasure, and there were over a hundred of them.

The pressure was immense, so how could Emperor Xuan watch these ancestors stay 'idle'? Consequently, he built individual dojos for these immortal souls to help recruit disciples, thereby relieving some of the pressure on himself.

It is worth mentioning that Dragon Kun and Rongxiao also put aside their desire to roam, joined the Xuan Kingdom, and became guardian sacred beasts. Each found a place with abundant spiritual veins to establish a dojo and cultivate their own forces.

For a time, dojos sprang up one after another. In truth, ever since Li Jiao reformed education and added new scientific knowledge, the craze for martial arts had declined significantly.

If one had good talent and could become a Grandmaster to extend their lifespan, that would be one thing.

But unfortunately, most people would toil their entire lives, training through the coldest winters and hottest summers, only to reach the level of second-rate or first-rate at best.

That level of strength was not even as good as practicing shooting for a few days; holding a sniper rifle could take down a whole crowd.

One would fail to master martial arts while accumulating a body full of hidden injuries; it was simply not worth it. Thus, the phenomenon arose where, as living conditions improved, fewer people practiced martial arts.

After all, once people were well-fed, laziness set in. Compared to practicing martial arts, attending classes at school was more comfortable, and many were no longer willing to endure the hardships of martial arts training.

But this time it was different; the masters in the dojos were genuine immortals.

If an immortal opens a dojo, could what they teach be ordinary?

If one were lucky enough to become an immortal's disciple, heh heh...

They would wake up laughing even in their dreams.

Driven by such expectations, countless young talents broke their heads fighting to join the immortal dojos.

The immortals also listened to Emperor Xuan, earnestly teaching the Dao and selecting disciples.

However, not all immortals agreed with this approach. Some immortals from the time of Qingxuan, as well as those who had just regained consciousness and only possessed immortal souls, could not understand this practice of recruiting disciples on such a large scale.

"Fellow Daoist Emperor Xuan, this move is not very appropriate. In front of an immortal, a Grandmaster is nothing more than an ant that can be extinguished with a wave of the hand, let alone martial artists below the Grandmaster level. Even if you cultivate millions of them, they would just be cannon fodder on an immortal-level battlefield and could not influence the outcome of the war at all. Instead of wasting resources on these ants, it would be better to carefully select one or two individuals with peerless talent and gather the strength of the entire clan to cultivate them into immortals. That is the correct path to resist the demons."

Some immortals could not help but voice their opinions, and many immortals who had just entered the world nodded secretly in agreement. In their understanding, the path of the Immortal Dao was inherently a contest at the pinnacle of the pyramid; only immortals could be considered combat power. No matter how many low-level martial artists there were, they were nothing more than a rabble, and ants could never shake a dragon.

With a wave of an immortal's hand, swathes of martial artists would perish.

As this viewpoint grew over time, it also influenced others, and the immortals who had been teaching diligently on a daily basis gradually began to slack off.

Emperor Xuan noticed this situation. He thought about it carefully, investigated which immortals agreed with this viewpoint, and then sought out Lu Hu to discuss a strategy.

"Let's hold a meeting."

Lu Hu cast a spell, transmitting his voice across space to these immortals, forming a chat room where they could all hear each other speak.

Lu Hu understood the doubts of these immortals, but he couldn't be bothered to explain. He directly invited everyone to visit Xuan Capital City.

Who would dare to refuse an invitation from Lu Hu?

Although these immortals obeyed Lu Hu's words and set off for Xuan Capital City, they were still unconvinced in their hearts. However, after they saw the scenes along the way, their dissatisfaction faded, and they already had faint suspicions.

Upon arriving at Xuan Capital City, the immortals displayed expressions of shock.

Seeing their expressions, Lu Hu and Emperor Xuan smiled.

Are you convinced now!
