Toast to the bright moon

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.

To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Lu Yuan prepared to recruit another 100,000 people in the country and train five new Forbidden Armies.


Now, Chu State's various standing armies only amount to 490,000, just barely meeting the basic defensive needs in this age of great contention.


It's a situation of having enough for defense but not enough for offense.


Like this expedition to Hanzhong, besides the local garrison troops in Xichuan and Xiangyang counties, the Chu Central Government could only deploy 60,000 troops for the war, including 20,000 naval forces.


This strength naturally left Lu Yuan feeling unsatisfied.


However, due to financial constraints, Chu State could not afford to maintain a large army before.


Even if the army was insufficient, there was no way around it.


But now, with the 100 million taels of silver backed by the Snow Plains Nomads, military expenses are no longer a problem.


Recruiting 100,000 new soldiers is nothing, even recruiting 500,000 would be affordable for Chu State.
