Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"Now the Jiaochi tribe seems to want to exterminate Tianyun. I wonder what choice the Jing tribe will make?"

After the two chatted about Guanghan Realm for a while, Lu Tiandu asked.

Now that the Jiaochi tribe has occupied one third of Tianyun's territory, and his strength has greatly increased, it is time to directly contact the top leaders of the Jing tribe to express his intention to form an alliance.

Cai Liuping naturally understood what Lu Tiandu meant, and said thoughtfully:
"Although my status in the clan is now among the top few, the clan's major events are usually voted on collectively by the elders. In addition, on certain major events, the opinion of the chief elder is also very important."

"Before the Jiaochi tribe captured more than ten cities in Tianyun and marched to Yuncheng, I had mentioned to the tribe members about finding a way out for the Jing tribe. Some elders agreed to leave Leiming at the critical moment and find another place for the tribe to survive. Some elders disagreed and held some hope that Tianyun would eventually withstand the attack of the Jiaochi tribe..."

"If Lu Lang really wants the Crystal Clan to go with you to Fengyuan Continent and contribute to the development of the human race, I'm afraid you should not only show the potential of the human race, but also come up with something that will attract the Crystal Clan's top leaders."

"Moreover, at this critical moment when the Tianyun tribe is joining forces to resist the Jiaochi tribe, we must also consider the attitudes of other tribes in Tianyun towards the Jing tribe's escape."

"In that case, I saw Brother Luo was also in Fujiao City at the banquet. Why don't we meet Brother Luo later?"

Lu Tiandu smiled.

This fellow Daoist Luo is naturally Luo Qingzhu, the great elder of the Crystal Clan.

Whether it was the initial trade of the portable cave residence to the Crystal Clan or this celebration banquet, the two had contact.

But this time, it was clear that they wanted to talk in depth about something.

Moreover, he was confident that as long as the conditions were right, it would not be difficult for the Crystal Clan to break away from the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun.

In particular, he heard from Cai Liupeng's words that some high-level members of the Crystal Clan had apparently decided to use spatial treasures such as portable caves to take their people away from Leiming and escape from the war in view of the current situation of the Tianyun Clan.

Obviously, if the Crystal Clan cultivators really fell into the hands of the Jiaochi Clan, given the Jiaochi Clan's way of doing things, the Crystal Clan's fate would probably not be very good.

In addition, from the nature of the Crystal Clan monks, although they are extremely intelligent and talented, they neither like to fight for power nor fight. Seeing that the Jiao Chi Clan provoked the Thunder War, it is obviously normal for them to leave Thunder and find another place to survive.

In this situation, he was more confident in persuading the Crystal Clan.

Furthermore, the most important point is that as a tiny ethnic group that is precarious and can only rely on other ethnic groups for survival, the top leaders of the Crystal Clan must have a strong desire to change this status quo.

The most direct thing is to allow a Mahayana monk to be born within the clan.

Only if there is a Mahayana cultivator in charge, will the Crystal Clan have the possibility of truly independent development.

Unfortunately, although the members of the Crystal Clan are extremely talented and seem to be favored by heaven and earth judging from the original power contained in the crystal stone between their eyebrows, it is difficult for their members to be born and their number is limited. This defect has greatly restricted the development of the Crystal Clan.

This can be seen from the fact that since the death of the last great elder of the Crystal Clan, there has not been even one late-stage fusion cultivator, let alone a Mahayana cultivator.

But with his help, this matter would become much simpler.

After Lu Tiandu and Cai Liuping briefly discussed the Crystal Clan's affairs, he smiled and said:
"Didn't Sister Cai say before that she didn't know me well enough? This time I will take Sister to get to know me better, okay?"

"Everything is up to Lu Lang!"

When Cai Liuping heard this, her beautiful eyes lit up and she readily agreed.

With her intelligence, she had actually guessed something from some of the information Lu Tiandu had revealed before.

And it was obvious that her man was going to reveal more secrets to her next.

Sure enough, when the two of them went to the Nine Dragon Chariot and met Ming Luo and Chu Hui, two female cultivators in the Mahayana stage, Cai Liuping was stunned.

Since they knew that Cai Liuping was Lu Tiandu's woman, Mingluo and the other girl naturally behaved very kindly.

After the three women had a long chat, Lu Tiandu took Cai Liupeng away from the Nine Dragon Chariot and entered the Stone Bead World.

When he saw the huge cloud city floating quietly in the void, surrounded by three warships of the Jiaochi tribe, Cai Liuping showed an expression of "as expected".

Obviously, since she knew that Lu Tiandu's two clones were both in the Mahayana stage, she already had a hunch that Yun Cheng's disappearance might be related to her man.

After learning about Ming Luo's cultivation level at the peak of the middle stage of the Mahayana period and the existence of Chu Hui, Madam Xueliu, she became more certain of her guess.

After all, during the more than ten years of getting along with each other, she already knew that her man was no ordinary person.

This is also the reason why Lu Tian sometimes does not explain certain things and she does not ask too many questions.

At this moment, the corpses of the Jiaochi monks in Yuncheng and the three warships had already been cleared away by the puppets commanded by Shura's clone, so this place looked quite clean.

With the emergence of Yuncheng and the refining method obtained by Lu Tiandu, Cai Liuping naturally understood that it might be very likely that her man could refine a replica of the Yunxiao Fairy Palace.

After Lu Tiandu explained the existence of the internal space, Cai Liuping was even more shocked.

Obviously, she seemed to have thought of the true spirits such as Rāhu and Pixiu that naturally contained space in their bodies.

And when Lu Tiandu later mentioned the existence of Youluo, the real true spirit Rāhu, Cai Liuping was shocked, and finally understood why Lu Tiandu was plotting against the Crystal Clan.

Obviously, now without counting the trump cards such as Ming Luo and Lu Tiandu's Mahayana clones, the human race's three Mahayana cultivators, Mo Jianli, Lu Tiandu and Chu Hui who agreed to join the human race, have already made the human race's strength initially enter the middle-level group.

Of course, this only represents the threshold of entering the middle-level ethnic group in terms of top combat power and core ethnic foundation.

However, in terms of high-end combat power and other comprehensive levels, the human race is still a small race, and these aspects cannot be quickly changed by adding a few more Mahayana monks.

The addition of the Crystal Clan will obviously be able to make up for the human race's considerable shortcomings in alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and magic array making, and shorten the time it takes for the human race to become a truly middle-class ethnic group.

In addition, since Lu Tian had told her before that he could continue to lead people into the Guanghan Realm, she understood that as long as the arrangements were proper, it would not be difficult for the human race to produce a large number of high-end combat forces at the Refining Void and Fusion levels in a short period of time.

And when all this is ready, there is no doubt that it is time for the human race to expand its territory.

Obviously, Cai Liuping, who understood all this, also knew that by joining the wave of the rise of the human race, with Lu Tiandu's structure, the Crystal Clan would also benefit greatly in the future.

As for why Lu Tiandu revealed these secrets to Cai Liuping at this moment, it was not entirely for the Crystal Clan. After all, when Cai Liuping followed him back to the human race in a few years, he would know these things sooner or later.

In this case, since they are both his own women, he doesn't need to favor one over the other or be secretive.

The two left the stone bead world, and not long after, Cai Liuping brought a female cultivator from the Crystal Clan into the hall again.

This woman also looks to be in her thirties, and from the purple crystal between her eyebrows one can tell at a glance that she is a cultivator of the Crystal Clan.

She is of medium build, with a voluptuous body wrapped in an emerald green palace dress, with towering breasts, plump buttocks, and graceful curves, which makes people unforgettable at first sight.

On the snow-white oval face, a pair of bright eyes just look at each other, giving people an unusually gentle feeling. Before they speak, they unconsciously give people a comfortable feeling like a spring breeze and meeting old friends.

This woman is none other than Luo Qingzhu, the great elder of the Crystal Clan, and one of the most beautiful women among the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun.

"Fellow Daoist Luo is here, please take a seat!"

Lu Tiandu took a few steps forward and said with a slight smile, "I dare not. How can I dare to ask you to condescend to me?"

Seeing Lu Tiandu's respectful attitude, Luo Qingzhu was quite flattered, but also a little confused in his heart. He glanced at Cai Liuping who was smiling at the side.

Is it because of Sister Cai or is there something else?

"Since Sister Cai is my Taoist partner, I am also half a member of the Crystal Clan. It would be a bit awkward for us to address each other as seniors. We can just address each other as fellow Taoists!"

Lu Tiandu smiled as he sat down.

In fact, before he killed Taoist Shi Xin, he addressed himself as a fellow Taoist to the combined cultivators like Qianjizi, and these people didn't think much of it.

However, ever since the news that he was able to kill a Mahayana cultivator spread, although they still called each other fellow Taoists, Lu Tian clearly felt that these people had become a little more cautious and restrained.

Obviously, there is a huge difference between being able to kill a Mahayana cultivator of the same level and just entering the Mahayana stage.

These are some subtle changes brought about by strength, which is normal.

In fact, after he killed the Black Owl King in Tianyuan City that year, not only Ao Xiao and Mo Jianli, but all the combined cultivators he had come into contact with before basically had some changes in their mentality.

Hearing Lu Tian say this, Luo Qingzhu also responded with a smile:

"I was shocked to hear that Fellow Daoist Lu had killed Taoist Shi Xin! Although I know that Fellow Daoist Lu had other reasons for taking action, this incident has benefited cultivators like me, Tianyun. I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Lu!"

"In addition, our clan can have three more Saint Clan monks on this trip to Guanghan Realm, all thanks to the help of Fellow Daoist Lu. I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Lu here!"

"There is no need to be polite when it comes to fighting. It's just a deal."

Lu Tiandu smiled and shook his head. "As for the three fellows of the Crystal Clan being able to advance smoothly, I am also quite pleased. It is also a blessing for the Crystal Clan to have people like Sister Cai and Fellow Daoist Luo who plan for the clan!"

After a few more pleasantries, Lu Tian guessed that Luo Qingzhu might be a little confused about his invitation, so he didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

"The current situation of the Tianyun Clan doesn't seem to be very good. I heard from Sister Cai that the Jing Clan seems to have some disagreements about future decisions. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Luo thinks?"

"Ok?"

Hearing what Lu Tiandu said, Luo Qingzhu looked at Cai Liuping with a little surprise, but he quickly came to his senses and didn't seem to be too surprised. Instead, he thought of something. He stared at Lu Tiandu with his deep eyes and said softly:
"My clan is just an insignificant clan in the wilderness. The strongest person in my clan is only a Saint Clan Second Stage cultivator. We cannot participate in a war like this that could lead to genocide. Moreover, my clan's cultivators do not like such a war that could lead to genocide."

"Therefore, now that the war seems to be spreading to the entire Tianyun area, we have to plan a way out for the sake of our clan's inheritance. However, we are shallow-minded and cannot see the way forward. Now that we have not reached a consensus, I wonder if you can teach me?"

The gentle, sincere and graceful voice echoed in his ears, and Lu Tian had to admit that the Crystal Clan cultivators were not only extremely intelligent, but also had a good sense of situation.

Obviously, it was just a simple test. Luo Qingzhu was quick-witted and guessed something, so he threw the question back to him.

In this case, no matter what his thoughts are later, Luo Qingzhu will always have room to maneuver between advancing and retreating.

"I have a deep friendship with Sister Cai, and I am also close friends with the noble Xianxian. The Crystal Clan is facing a major decision, and as a half-Crystal Clan member, I have some ideas that I can share with you for reference."

Lu Tiandu said.

"You are too modest, my friend. I was thinking about when to visit you and listen to your opinions!"

Luo Qingzhu leaned forward slightly with her elegant figure, as if she was listening attentively.

"Lu's suggestion is that the Crystal Clan should temporarily avoid Lei Ming." Lu Tiandu said in a deep voice:
"Tianyun and the Jiaochi tribe have been at odds for a long time. This battle is just an outburst of the long-standing grudge. Judging from the strength of the Jiaochi tribe this time, it is obvious that they have been planning for a long time and have been prepared in advance. In this case, with some deliberate and unintentional actions, and given the difference in strength between the two sides, Tianyun's ending may not be good."

“Even if Jiao Chi’s annexation of its neighbors has caused the other tribes to suffer, I’m afraid these foreign tribes will not really help unless the Tianyun tribe is at the end of its rope.”

"By that time, the medium-sized tribes may still be able to hold on for a while, but the Crystal Clan may not be able to withstand such a heavy blow!"

Sure enough, upon hearing Lu Tiandu say that this battle would be greatly disadvantageous to the Crystal Clan with a weak foundation in the subsequent war of attrition, Luo Qingzhu frowned slightly.

"Furthermore, if the outcome is so bad that the alliance of the Thirteen Tianyun Clans goes bankrupt, the Crystal Clan's only way out is to rely on another major force, which will not be of much benefit to the development of the Crystal Clan as a whole."

"After all, Lei Ming's power is highly concentrated, and there are only about twenty large and medium-sized forces in total. There are no external factors that allow the Crystal Clan to develop and rise independently."

This can actually be seen from the fact that the thirteen tribes, including the Crystal Tribe, are developing together. The living environment of small tribes on the Thunder Continent is not good.

"The Blood Sky Continent is mainly based on the Blood Dao technique, and its area is small, so it is not suitable for the Crystal Clan to move and seek a way out. The Wind Origin Continent, where there are hundreds of races and not many large races, is a good choice."

"What do you think, Brother Luo?"

"Friend Lu's analysis is indeed very insightful and I quite agree with it. If my clan wants to seek a way out, Feng Yuan is indeed the right choice."

Luo Qingzhu nodded with a smile.

Moreover, at this time, she became more and more certain of the guesses in her mind.

Sure enough, I heard Lu Tiandu continue:
"If the Crystal Clan is willing to go to Fengyuan to seek development, why not partner with our human race, develop together, help each other, and plan for a common future?"

"Fellow Daoist, do you mean that the Crystal Clan will join the Human Clan or form an alliance with the Human Clan?"

Luo Qingzhu's eyes flashed and he asked with a smile.

"If Brother Luo is willing to join the human race, I will naturally welcome you with open arms."

Lu Tiandu laughed and said, "However, the Crystal Clan has been able to maintain its own characteristics for hundreds of thousands of years while forming alliances with other clans. There is no need to say more about joining."

In fact, if they abandon their own tribe and join another tribe, the Crystal Tribe will naturally choose a truly large tribe. Why bother planning other ways of survival at this moment?

Therefore, even though Luo Qingzhu raised this sensitive issue with a smile, Lu Tiandu also spoke frankly and gave his promise.

The two sides formed an alliance rather than annexation.

In fact, after the human race uses the power of the Crystal Clan to get through the weak period of initial strength expansion and completes the transformation, with the potential of human cultivators, it will not be difficult for them to swallow up the wind element and dominate the spiritual world with their own strength in the future.

"I heard Sister Cai mention that the human race seems to be very different in recent years. Could you please ask Brother Lu to introduce it to us?"

Luo Qingzhu pondered for a moment and then smiled.

Obviously, now is the time for Lu Tiandu to demonstrate the strength and potential of the human race.

Of course, this display also requires great discretion.

If they are too strong, the Crystal Clan will worry about being swallowed up and assimilated, and will easily retreat.

Too weak. Although the two sides can help each other develop better, it will also cause some high-level cultivators of the Crystal Clan to feel disappointed and hesitate to travel to Fengyuan to form an alliance with the human race.

Lu Tian had already thought about the differences and explained them slowly... (End of this chapter)
