Of course, the intensity of the ten-year struggle was too great, and it was impossible for the two great immortal sects not to feel irritable and tired, and there were times when they wanted to take a break.
Since everyone belongs to a celestial sect, fierce infighting among them will inevitably damage the unity of the Heavenly Pivot Organization, thereby affecting the collective interests of the nine celestial sects.
To put it bluntly: even if the nine major immortal sects were happy to become eight or even seven, the immortal sects at the heart of the struggle would not want that.
Everyone's smart enough, and there's a limit to how much we all agree.
In the past, these struggles would stop when they reached a critical point, with both sides tacitly agreeing to cease hostilities and take a break.
But the problem is that within ten years, it won't just be Tianya Mountain and Changshen Palace fighting for it!
The other seven major immortal sects also had members involved!
This third force is the Longevity Pavilion!
Yes, it was in the Longevity Pavilion where Chu Mo was. No one knew what methods Chu Mo used to establish a small faction within the Longevity Pavilion by taking advantage of his status as the son of an elder.
The newly established faction also wanted to gain benefits and make some achievements to improve their status within the sect and obtain more resources.
But if he were to compete with the Immortal Sect rivals of the Longevity Pavilion, Chu Mo might have the courage, but he lacked the strength.
Just then, Xiao Linlin came to Chu Mo's door and, taking advantage of the exchange between the disciples of Changshen Palace and Changsheng Pavilion, finalized a new "Muddy Waters Plan".
To put it bluntly, it's about having Chu Mo, this third force, repeatedly jump between Tianya Mountain and Changshen Palace, doing things like stirring up trouble and framing others.
This kind of trick is very easy for scammers to pull off.
There's no need to worry about the enemy being too powerful, nor about being caught red-handed after the matter is exposed.
After all, he had his own people among the two important figures he framed, and he could handle the aftermath of their crimes.
What Chu Mo needs to do is to keep the two great immortal sects, Tianya Mountain and Changshen Palace, from stopping and keep fighting!
As long as they keep fighting, Xiaoyun Temple can reap a continuous stream of resources from the losses caused by the constant struggle between the two factions, thereby supporting the undercover team, enabling internal personnel to occupy more high positions, and achieving deeper infiltration work.
Of course, Xiao Linlin wouldn't let Chu Mo work for nothing. She promised to use the internal personnel and power of the two major immortal sects as external forces to help Chu Mo gain a firm foothold in the Longevity Pavilion.
When a small faction's internal power structure is stable, it's naturally difficult for it to interfere and gain control. However, with the help of an external faction, things become much easier.
To put it simply, even if the two great immortal sects occasionally sent some merit points to Chu Mo, it would be enough for him to enjoy.
Chu Mo was also sensible. He roughly guessed what Xiao Linlin was going to do, and patted his chest, promising to be Xiao Linlin's outside agent and to help her gain control of the Changsheng Pavilion Immortal Sect.
Xiao Linlin remained noncommittal. It wasn't that she didn't believe in Chu Mo's abilities, but rather that controlling a celestial sect was too troublesome and would take too long.
Even if Xiao Linlin had an extremely excellent team, personnel, resources, wisdom, and military support, and had the powerful weapon of the mimic, the time span of this plan would still be almost several hundred years, let alone Chu Mo alone.
However, since Chu Mo had this intention, Xiao Linlin did not refuse, but only watched from the sidelines. At the same time, she canceled the undercover plan for Changsheng Pavilion in the subsequent plan in order to observe Chu Mo's development.
Yes, Xiao Linlin wasn't just eyeing Changshen Palace and Tianya Mountain.
She also had designs on the other seven major immortal sects, aiming to infiltrate more of their influence.
Over the past decade, Xiao Linlin has been trying to do this, and although the results have been minimal, at least she has made some progress.
Although no undercover agents have yet infiltrated the other major immortal sects, the mimics have completed preliminary data collection on the other sects over the past ten years by taking advantage of occasional meetings between the high-ranking members of the nine major immortal sects.
When needed, the mimic can impersonate high-ranking members of other sects at any time.
Of course, such simulations still carry risks. If possible, it is best to clean up and erase the original host while replacing the simulation.
However, achieving this is extremely difficult and requires exceptional opportunity and capability.
In conclusion, during these ten years, the nine major immortal sects focused their attention on the open and covert struggles between Tianya Mountain and Changshen Palace, either sowing discord or remaining on the sidelines, and paid little attention to the newly emerging sect, Xiaoyun Temple.
To further avert suspicion from Xiaoyun Temple, Lu Zhouming also dispatched some of his sect's disciples over the past ten years to be transported to the outer outposts of Tianya Mountain through the Tian Shu organization, in order to cooperate in carrying out some almost certain-death battle plans.
In total, tens of thousands of disciples of Xiaoyun Temple died in the past ten years. They have made great contributions to Tianya Mountain and, from the perspective of Changshen Palace, they have effectively weakened Xiaoyun Temple, a subordinate force of Tianya Mountain.
But these are all superficial. Lu Zhouming and Xiao Linlin have one thing in common: they will not suffer losses if they can avoid them, even if it seems like they are suffering losses on the surface, because there must be some benefit to them in the end.
The tens of thousands of disciples lost by Xiaoyun Temple in the past ten years were basically those who were not up to par in terms of cultural and ideological understanding within the sect, and those who were lagging behind in terms of aptitude and cultivation.
To put it bluntly, sending these people out and absorbing them under a reasonable pretext would be extremely beneficial for Xiaoyun Temple.
This not only deeply refined the high level of concentration of thought within Xiaoyun Temple, but also ensured the uniformity of disciples with high aptitude and talent, while also freeing up positions to recruit more new mortal geniuses.
Admittedly, this approach has provided an explanation to the outside world, but it is a thorny issue internally. No matter how good the excuse is, it is still a matter of sending people to their deaths.
But this didn't stump Lu Zhouming. He could just shift the blame onto Tianya Mountain. After all, in Xiao Linlin's final battle plan, immortal sects like Tianya Mountain were all competitors of Xiaoyun Temple.
