Lu Yuan silently cursed in his heart.
He was very dissatisfied with Ziyun Dao's intervention in worldly power struggles, deeply feeling that they were sabotaging his plans.
Without their interference, with his current accumulation, it would take at most ten years to unify the entirety of Yangzhou.
But now, there was Ziyun Dao.
Even if many people in Ziyun Dao were going to attain Ascension, their strength would greatly decline.
However, with their remaining foundation, a Ten Thousand Year Sect, it would still be enough to double Ning Country's strength.
Not to mention, they would just need to take out all the Divine Blood Elixir accumulated within Ziyun Dao, and creating three or five Inborn Grandmasters would not be difficult at all.
Moreover, with their top-tier Cave World, they could still provide cultivators with Spiritual Energy for now, so they could probably raise even more Divine Blood Variants.
