The Refinement Sect was the weakest, but the Mountain Protection Arrays of the other five major sects were not so easily breached, and perhaps they each had their own trump cards. The threat of the four Demon Sects had not yet reached the point where everyone in the five major sects felt imperiled.

So you aren’t disregarding hidden dangers after all. Though still think you should accumulate more goodies in the lower realm, I guess it is more responsible to not take in disciples you don’t intend to nurture to void refinement. After all, that would probably be a 1,000 year commitment at most. Plus one would have to consider what the big shot above will do if the hitmen are killed. Staying below would mean that the disciples would be in more danger due to more hitmen. Not to mention the big shot possibly choosing to spread a network on the lookout for MC when he ascends. Considering that, killing the hidden dangers, leaving legacy (techniques) and speed running ascension seems best. Can even make a game of how long it takes first disiples to ascend and if they will be outdone by those MC takes above.
"Hmm," Lu Changsheng had nothing to hide from the Taiyuan True Person, "But before ascending to the Immortal Realm, I want to set a trap to completely eradicate the heretic cultivators from the Immortal Realm and potential enemies coveting Mount Shu's cultivation techniques, to eliminate future troubles once and for all, so that after my ascension, Mount Shu will not be left unguarded."

Lots of places to hide from a bigshot but probably not as many as you want

Gonna rifle through their cultivation manuals and find some to teach your disciples and future ones? Gotta keep a full library for any type of genius you find.
After the Zhong Zhou grand meeting ended, Lu Changsheng and the cultivators from Xia State made a brief stop at the Star Pavilion.

I mean you can totally linger in peak unity if you just give power infusion to people who aren’t your disciples. It can even serve to add more bodies to look for and kill that immortal. Like that doggo is a good choice.
"My disciples won't be able to keep up with my cultivation in a short time. When I'm in the Immortal Realm, I'll need to find a few more disciples in order to continue teaching."

You know you have made it in life when some bigshot tries to kill you from a higher realm and it isn’t something to do with your ancestors.
According to what Xuanyin Elder had said, there was a Supreme Being in the Immortal Realm who wanted to kill him, suggesting that the Immortal Realm was far from a peaceful haven.

Plus you need to deal with that guy or he will come up later and brag about destroying Mount Shu and such.
It wouldn't be long before he could ascend to the Immortal Realm.
