To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Traversing the Nine Provinces in the Immortal Cultivation World, Lu Yuan possessed the Dao Fruit of longevity, an eternal lifespan. If he were careful, he could anticipate the Immortal Method. This was indeed a beautiful thing. However, he was born during the Age of Dharma Decline, with spiritual energy depleted and the Immortal Method difficult. The great path was elusive. Even worse, the Immortal Cultivation World of the Nine Provinces was on the verge of collapse, and the four poles were about to fall, marking the end of an era. If that was the case, why shouldn't a man take up his sword and conquer fifty states across the mountains? To survive in the Age of Dharma Decline, Lu Yuan cultivated the ancient Way of Control Pneuma, established an Immortal Dynasty, and gathered Qi Luck. He brought order to the Nine Provinces and peace to the four seas. Gathering strength from across the world, he ascended to immortality step by step. In ancient times, there were three Human Emperors: Hua Guang, Xia Xi, and Hao Tian. Who is the Human Emperor now? It is Emperor Chu Luyuan.

Chapter 434 Warfare and Pros and Cons

"Hand over Haiyang Prefecture…"

Upon hearing the conditions of the Zheng Kingdom's Messenger, Lu Yuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The so-called abdication and hostages mentioned earlier were essentially meaningless.

Even if Zheng Kingdom followed through, it would provide Chu State with nothing more than superficial benefits.

If it were a time of peace and prosperity, when appearances needed to be maintained, such superficial measures could be acceptable.

But in an era of chaos and great strife, where nations either fought or perished, who wasn't reforming and striving for strength?

In such times, who would have the mind for mere facades, when everyone was putting all their effort into gaining benefits and shoring up their substance?

Therefore, terms like abdication and hostages were fundamentally pointless.

Moreover, these two conditions, while meant as reparations to Chu State, might not be so bad for Zheng Kingdom, perhaps even beneficial.
