"Greetings, Lord!"
Ji Yu, Mo Jiaxiang, Mo Hao, and others all came to Lu Tao's side to pay their respects, with Ji Yu bowing at a ninety-degree angle.
It was as if he held Lu Tao in the utmost reverence in his heart.
Lu Tao glanced at him indifferently, understanding Ji Yu's thoughts but not caring.
Ji Yu's desire to escape his control was undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Lu Tao said, "Alright, you have all recovered. Now, I have some tasks for you to perform."
"Yes, my lord, please give your orders!"
The six god emperors readily accepted the order.
"Demon Armor Elephant, Tao Ying, Demon Rabbit... the four of you, in the time to come, will return to your respective places and continue to instigate internal strife among the three races. You must cause an uprising among the three races in the shortest possible time."
"Even if it means sacrificing the disciples of the God Kings and God Emperors of the Demon Desire Sect, we will not hesitate."
"However, when sacrificing them, their dantian and soul sea must be preserved, allowing their souls to self-destruct."
Lu Tao gave orders that terrified the several God Emperors.
They now understood that even if the Demon Desire Sect were enslaved, its ultimate fate would likely be destruction.
Not to mention the disciples of the Demon Desire Sect, even the fate of these God Emperors is still unknown.
This filled them with a sense of sorrow.
But with the mark of enslavement in them, they are powerless to resist such commands.
Lu Tao ignored their speculations and continued to instruct, "As for Ji Yu... your current strength is already at the peak of the God Emperor realm. You will remain in charge of the Demon Desire Sect, but do not reveal your strength for the time being. Wait for other God Emperors to provoke conflict between the Demon Desire Sect and other forces."
"A God Emperor at the Perfected Stage?!"
"Has he truly grasped the ultimate essence of the Way of Desire? That's too exaggerated!"
"How envious I am! I wish I could also receive the Lord's guidance..."
...
Ji Yu's tremendous increase in strength aroused the madness of other God Emperors, but they could only envy him.
"Yes, my lord!"
Even as the gods envied him, he did not forget to obey orders.
They knew that the days to come would not be easy for them; in fact, they would be quite dangerous.
If you're not careful, you could perish.
certainly.
The moment they became servants and learned of Lu Tao's true identity, they were already prepared to be abandoned and sacrificed.
They had already resigned themselves to their fate!
Lu Tao suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "By the way, hand over all your valuables to me."
"Yes, my lord!"
The God Emperors did not hesitate and opened their own worlds, taking out all sorts of treasures, which almost filled the entire planet.
They not only took out precious items, but also all the treasures that were not considered precious in the eyes of these god-emperors.
She practically handed over all her possessions to Lu Tao.
Lu Tao didn't care much about the other things, but he was very satisfied with some of the rule-related items and some refining materials.
With just six God Emperors, Lu Tao gained dozens more rule-related items that he had never encountered before.
This brings him one step closer to his plan of collecting three thousand different rule-based objects.
Lu Tao nodded in satisfaction: "Go!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Lu Tao released Ji Yu and the other God Emperors from the Second Great Thousand World.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The four God Emperors—Demon Armor Elephant, Tao Ying, Demon Rabbit, and others—left the Demon Desire Gate the moment they appeared in the outside world, and quietly flew back to their original locations.
Lu Tao ignored them and instructed Ji Yu, "Have the rest of your Demon Desire Sect disciples assemble!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Ji Yu accepted the order and quickly summoned all the other disciples of the Demon Desire Sect in his capacity as sect leader.
The disciples within the Demon Desire Sect are all at least at the Heavenly God Realm.
Lu Tao certainly wouldn't let these disciples go.
When Ji Yu summoned them, Lu Tao ordered the Immortal Sect disciples to come out of seclusion and enslave all the Demon Desire Sect disciples.
even.
They didn't even spare the creatures in their own little world.
Of course, Lu Tao did not overlook the beings within the small worlds of the God Emperor, such as Mo Hao, the Demon Armor Elephant, Tao Ying, and Ji Yu.
He couldn't allow these seemingly insignificant and weak creatures to reveal his presence.
Lu Tao didn't bother with the ascendants in Ji Yu's array world, letting everything proceed as usual.
That's how it is.
In just a short while, all the disciples within the Demon Desire Sect submitted to the Immortal Sect and became its servants.
After dealing with all this, Lu Tao instructed Ji Yu: "You continue to be in charge of the Demon Desire Sect. No matter how Elder Fu of the Heavenly Universe Sect summons you, you don't need to go to see him. Just wait for him to come to you."
"Remember, when Elder Fu arrives, do not show any unusual behavior. Treat him like you would any other God Emperor. Once he enters the Demon Desire Gate, simply close the protective array."
Lu Tao said seriously, "After that... follow my plan."
"Yes, my lord!"
Ji Yu accepted the order and dared not disobey in the slightest.
Lu Tao nodded, then asked, "By the way, in Jade Dragon Heaven, which other major powers treat ascendants the same way as your Demon Desire Sect?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are the Holy Soul Hall, the Crossing Karma Palace, and the Shadow Demon Temple..."
Ji Yu mentioned more than ten forces in a row.
These forces, like the Demon Desire Sect, treat ascendants with extreme hostility and possess formidable strength, each boasting a God Emperor-level expert within their ranks.
but.
Most of these sects are not as strong as the Demon Desire Sect.
Most of them possessed at most mid-stage or early-stage God Emperor level experts, with only two sects possessing late-stage God Emperor level experts, making them comparable in strength to the Demon Desire Sect.
"Thirteen God-Emperor forces..."
Lu Tao nodded silently, then entered the Second Great Thousand World and left the Demon Desire Gate directly.
After leaving the Demon Desire Sect, Lu Tao found a secluded spot and sent a message to Di Qing: "Sect Master Di, I need to purchase detailed information on these thirteen forces, the sooner the better."
——
"This... thirteen God Emperor-level forces."
Inside Qingyou Pavilion, Di Qing fell into deep thought after receiving Lu Tao's message.
After selling the information about the Demon Desire Sect, he thought something might happen to them and was prepared to leave, but nothing happened.
certainly.
The time was too short, so he didn't think there was any problem.
But now they are going to buy thirteen other God Emperor-level forces, two of which are as powerful as the Demon Desire Sect. Di Qing felt that something big was going to happen.
More importantly, Di Qing was very clear about what kind of forces these thirteen forces were.
"It seems that this Fellow Daoist Xu must be a powerful figure in our Heavenly Court camp."
Di Qing stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and transmitted all the intelligence on the thirteen forces to Lu Tao.
——
"Thank you very much, Pavilion Master Di!"
Lu Tao put away the intelligence with satisfaction, and at the same time, he sent countless divine stones to Di Qing.
"Then let's use these forces to completely incite a rebellion in Yulongtian."
Lu Tao stroked the jade slip, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
but.
Lu Tao did not act immediately.
For these powerful forces at the God Emperor level, we must plan carefully and ensure that everything goes smoothly before taking action.
Lu Tao returned to the Immortal Sect, glanced at the cultivation progress of the Immortal Sect disciples, and seemed to remember something, his brows furrowing slightly.
"There aren't enough disciples for the Immortal Sect these days!"
In the previous battle against Ji Yu, although the disciples of the Immortal Sect contributed a lot, they seemed somewhat lacking compared to before, and the key lies in... the rules!
The Immortal Sect has over 13,000 disciples, all of whom are at the Divine Emperor level, but they have very few rules for cultivation.
In total, excluding He Yuanshuang, Wu Ming, Lu Ling, and others, there are only a few dozen varieties.
It's less than one-tenth of the three thousand rules.
This also resulted in them having very few Dao Chicks when launching an offensive using formations, and their power was far inferior to Lu Tao's Chaos Dao Chicks; they were simply stronger in terms of sheer force.
This is far less helpful to Lu Tao compared to when he was at the God-King level.
If they could gather three thousand rules, then the rules they would use in their formations would be chaotic rules, just like Lu Tao's.
The one created at the God Emperor realm is the Chaos Dao Embryo.
even--
Because it consisted of thousands or even tens of thousands of perfected God Emperors, their power was even stronger than Lu Tao's.
This will undoubtedly be of greater help to Lu Tao.
therefore--
Lu Tao plans to expand the number of his disciples, especially those with different martial arts talents.
Thinking this, Lu Tao suddenly asked, "Number 2, have all three thousand different talents appeared in your world now?"
Number 2 immediately replied, "Reporting to the sect master, not all of them have appeared yet. A considerable number of talents have not yet been acquired by any living being."
Lu Tao frowned and continued to ask, "How many vacancies are there?"
There are more than 2,600 other varieties.
Number 2's answer plunged Lu Tao into a long silence.
There are three thousand kinds of talents, but only three hundred or so have emerged. That's far too many missing.
But Lu Tao was also very understanding.
The No. 2 was refined, and the internal time appeared to have passed for hundreds of years, which seemed like a long time. In fact, in the context of martial arts, hundreds of years is really short.
It is quite remarkable that more than three hundred different talents could emerge in such a short period of time.
It could even be said to be very fast.
but--
With over 2,600 vacancies, Lu Tao's plan to select a large number of disciples in a short period of time seems somewhat unrealistic.
Lu Tao thought for a moment and then asked, "How many beings are about to be born inside Number 2?"
Number 2 said, "Reporting to the sect master, in the next month, twelve billion sentient beings will be born."
"1.2 billion..."
Lu Tao nodded silently; the number was indeed enormous.
It's astonishing that so many lives are about to be born in just one month.
This would be an enormous burden for other powerful individuals.
Fortunately, Lu Tao did not have this concern.
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Tao spoke again: "Number 2, have Number 1 wrap you up."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Number 2 seemed to have guessed what would happen next, and it did not refuse, as did Number 1.
Buzz!
Without a sound or notice, and without any other creatures being aware, Number 1 and Number 2 switched places.
Previously, number 1 was inside number 2, but now it's the other way around, with number 2 inside number 1.
After exchanging positions, Lu Tao continued to give instructions: "Number 2, open your world barrier so that Number 1's world Dao rhythm can affect your world."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
After the second world barrier opened, Lu Tao continued to instruct: "Number 1, for the next month, do your best to bestow the 2,600 vacant talents upon these unborn beings. Remember to select them carefully, choosing those whose fathers have the best faith in me."
"By the way, also screen the other three hundred beings with talents. If they are not suitable, assign them other talents."
Although all living beings in this world are followers of Lu Tao, they live in a peaceful era and lead very comfortable lives, so their faith in Lu Tao fluctuates.
Unlike the disciples they initially accepted, who were orphans with no one to rely on.
After joining the Immortal Sect, the Immortal Sect became their home.
Therefore, their loyalty to Lu Tao and the Immortal Sect is extremely high, and it has been increasing over the years.
However, the disciples to be accepted next need to be carefully screened.
He didn't want any trouble to arise.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
After accepting the mission, Number 1 asked, "Sect Master, how many living beings should be given?"
Lu Tao pondered and said, "Eighty-seven thousand, that'll just add up to one hundred thousand with the Immortal Sect disciples!"
In his previous life, there was a saying about 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. Now, Lu Tao also wants to create 100,000 god emperors and god kings.
Those heavenly soldiers and generals were just ordinary immortals, but Lu Tao's Immortal Sect disciples could become God Emperors or Saints in the future, even more powerful than the heavenly soldiers and generals.
certainly.
In terms of quantity, it is actually inferior.
But that's not a problem. As long as Lu Tao wants, he can continue to mass-produce them.
"Eighty-seven thousand..."
Upon hearing this, Number 1 seemed somewhat bitter and couldn't help but complain: "Sect Master, you've bestowed so many special talents upon a total of 87,000 beings. I'm afraid my Cycle of Reincarnation won't be able to withstand it and will collapse. I might even collapse myself."
"It's okay, you'll recover after the upgrade."
Lu Tao seemed unconcerned, since as long as the items were upgraded, all previous damage would be restored to their original state.
Of course, even though that's what he said, Lu Tao added, "Also, Number 2, you should help out too. You two should discuss and handle it together. This matter must be resolved within a month."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Both the wills of heaven and earth accepted the order in unison and began to carry it out.
at last.
In order to keep Number 2 in good condition, Number 1 put in more effort, granting it two thousand talents and sixty thousand living beings.
The rest are left for number 2 to do.
that's all.
For the next month, both of them devoted themselves entirely to this task.
Buzzing—
As they bestow talents, the more types and quantities they bestow, the more Lu Tao can sense their changes within the world.
As No. 1 said, such a big move could easily cause problems for them.
Fortunately, when they are given talents, they are only at the lowest level of first-grade spiritual quality.
therefore.
Although this event has had a significant impact on them, it has not yet reached the point of causing the cycle of reincarnation or their own collapse.
final--
A month later, as the actions that bestowed their talents came to an end, 87,000 creatures with special talents were born.
Among these beings are humans, demons, and monsters.
Without exception, their parents were among those who had the strongest faith in Lu Tao.
therefore……
In the years that followed, influenced by their parents, these beings also developed a very strong faith in Lu Tao.
When they were about to advance to the Innate Realm, Lu Tao dispatched disciples of the Immortal Sect to bring them all to the Immortal Sect.
Lu Tao then placed divine soul restrictions on them, improved their aptitude, talent, and comprehension, and also imparted his teachings to them.
After improvements in all aspects, their cultivation speed experienced a qualitative leap.
In just a few years, without taking any elixirs, they all raised their cultivation to the level of Heavenly God and then to Divine Lord.
Those who possess Emperor-level comprehension and talent also progress extremely rapidly in their cultivation domains and realms.
Lu Tao did not interfere with the cultivation of these disciples, letting them cultivate on their own, nor did he give them any experience pills.
To prevent them from becoming god-kings too quickly.
Mainly because...
Lu Tao only possesses over 2,200 kinds of divine medicines based on rules, or rather, divine medicines based on the Great Dao. He is still short of 800 kinds. Even if they advance rapidly, it will be difficult for the disciples who lack divine medicines based on rules to advance to the God Emperor level in a short period of time.
in this way--
Having recruited 100,000 disciples, Lu Tao stopped interfering and began working on the next step of his plan.
Lu Tao, carrying the No. 2 Great Thousand World, arrived at the Crimson Sun Society in the blink of an eye, planning to participate in the auction.
P.S.: Tomorrow is the last day of the month, so I'm taking a day off. I'm currently preparing for a new book, so please forgive me, brothers. This book will still be finished as scheduled. Thank you all for your support.
