However, things were not so simple.
The nine Inborn experts of Zhou Country only represented the strength of Zhou Country itself.
The power of the Jade Toad Tao, an Immortal Sect outside Zhou Country, was not included.
Jade Toad Tao could support Zhou Country with several Inborn experts at any time, helping them sustain the Southern Expedition Army.
In this case, even if Zhou Country could not summon Inborn Grandmasters to lead the army, with Jade Toad Tao's help, they could still launch the Southern Expedition.
The threat posed by an Immortal Sect could be seen from Ziyun Tao's case.
A single sect had easily dispatched four Inborn experts, a truly domineering display of power.
Ziyun Tao, however, had to share Yangzhou with Feishuang Tao, not completely controlling the resources of the State.
On the other hand, Jade Toad Tao was the only Immortal Sect in Yong State, directly unifying the entirety of the Immortal Cultivation World in Yong State.
