If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 425 The Inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperor

Seeing that Lily Jiang didn't look very surprised, Li Yanmo raised his eyebrows.

"You don't seem surprised at all. Could it be that you know some details?"

"I'm surprised, can't you see?"

Lily Jiang blew out a smoke ring as she spoke.

"Maybe it's because of my facial paralysis. I've always been like this, never panicking."

"Oh--"

Li Yanmo could see that Lily Jiang simply didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask any further questions, patted his butt and went back.

In the yard, Dai Qianqiu and others were still comprehending the golden elixir, Zhong Sanyuan was guarding the law, Hong Muer was lying on the roof basking in the sun, Jian Xin was drinking tea, and Feng Ling was walking back and forth with a bamboo stick, looking extremely peaceful.

Seeing Li Yanmo coming back, Zhong Sanyuan did not ask anything, but shouted to Dai Qianqiu and others, "Don't hold it in."

Dai Qianqiu and others broke through to the Golden Elixir stage on the spot, and it was a top-grade Golden Elixir, but the quality was much higher than before.

Li Yanmo raised his hand and pulled out all their golden cores. This time, Dai Qianqiu and others did not rush to form cores, but began to compete with each other based on their foundation-building skills, and thought about their sect's Taoism from a low-level perspective.

Seeing this, Zhong Sanyuan also joined in very seriously. He said that he would suppress his cultivation level to the foundation-building stage, and he really did suppress his cultivation level to the foundation-building stage.

Hong Muer wanted to join in with great enthusiasm, but was rejected.

Hong Muer is a physical cultivator who is purer than Fan Malang. No realm can affect her tempered body.

There would be no gain from competing with Hong Muer, not to mention that Hong Muer was not here to discuss with them, but to beat them up.

Li Yanmo was enjoying the rare peace, but the Immortal Palace people were extremely anxious. Of course, they were worried about Xiao Yun and Li Lin.

"Damn it! How come Xiao Yun always finds Li Lin's location? Li Lin is almost beaten to death by him!"

In order to facilitate the allocation of resources, the members of the Immortal Palace were divided into two groups, one responsible for supporting Xiao Yun and the other for supporting Li Lin.

Taking advantage of Xiao Yun's self-esteem and hatred towards Li Lin, they continuously provided Xiao Yun with cultivation resources and guided Xiao Yun to a state that would be convenient for them to take over his body. However, in order to do this, they had to strengthen Li Lin.

Li Lin has the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art, so it’s not a problem.

But the problem was that Xiao Yun and Li Lin seemed to have telepathy. Wherever Li Lin went, Xiao Yun would follow him. Many times, just when they had finally handed the supplies to Li Lin, Xiao Yun came to kill him. Li Lin was beaten half to death before he could even strengthen himself. He barely escaped, and they had to send him the healing artifact.

This back and forth had happened several times, and there was even one time when, if they had not taken the risk, Li Lin would have really been chopped to pieces by Xiao Yun.

"I'm afraid it's because of the Saint Bone in Li Lin's hand," the black shadow tapped his forehead with his fingers. "After all, it's a part of Xiao Yun's body. Xiao Yun doesn't even need to use any special tracking methods; he can easily find Li Lin."

As soon as these words came out, the demons were all stunned. "This, this, this—how are we going to play this? Xiao Yun keeps chasing Li Lin and biting him. We have no chance of making Li Lin stronger!"

"We must find someone to surround Xiao Yun and slow down his pursuit!"

The other person rolled his eyes. "It's not as simple as you say. Even if Xiao Yun lost a rib, he still has another set of saint bones close to perfection. No one in his realm can defeat him. No one in the Spiritual Transformation Stage can be his opponent. But if he uses the Fusion Stage, being killed by a higher-level opponent is the least of his worries. The only thing he's afraid of is attracting the attention of Dayu and Tianxu Tower."

At the mention of Dayu and Tianxu Tower, everyone in the Immortal Hall tensed, and Black Shadow's head ached. It was indeed possible for a Fusion Stage cultivator to stop Xiao Yun, but Xiao Yun's identity was no ordinary one.

On the surface, Xiao Yun is Dayu's future national guardian god of war, the strongest key barrier used by Emperor Yu to resist Tianxu Tower's infiltration of the royal power. Sending a fusion stage cultivator to attack Xiao Yun will inevitably cause Emperor Yu's wrath.

Secretly, Xiao Yun is Li Yanmo's disciple, and is the sure-kill chess piece that Tianxu Tower uses to completely destroy the power of Dayu King and take control of the entire Dayu Taoist lineage. If Xiao Yun is touched, it will inevitably cause complete hostility from Tianxu Tower.

Of these two points, the latter is more difficult. You have to know that if the Immortal Palace had not intervened, Xiao Yun would have been made a marquis by now, and had achieved the Saint Bone through the power of the Dao Pillar.

If something happened to Xiao Yun at this time, Tianxulou might not have been so lenient as to "forgive the villain's faults".

"How about... using Xiao Yun to balance the power of Dayu and Tianxu Tower?" someone suggested quietly. "If Emperor Yu knew that Xiao Yun was actually a pawn planted by Tianxu Tower in Dayu to undermine their power, they would surely be overwhelmed. With Emperor Yu's strength, he could definitely cause considerable damage to Tianxu Tower."

The shadow's heart was moved, but he shook his head. "Xiao Yun can indeed be the final blow that forces Emperor Yu and Tianxu Tower to fight to the death, but now is not the right time. Emperor Yu still has some time left, and there is a possibility that he will hold back and not take action. We must reveal this matter at the last moment when his luck is about to end, so as to force Emperor Yu to go crazy and take action desperately!"

The black shadow spoke in a very imposing manner, but the people present looked at each other in bewilderment.

"So... if we don't attack Xiao Yun, what else can we do? Even if we give Li Lin a wake-up call, it won't be enough..."

The shadow's eyes flickered. After a moment's hesitation, he let out a long breath and made up his mind. "There's a way. Let Li Lin go to the Eight Desolations! Obtain the inheritance of those eight people. If Li Lin can obtain... the inheritance of the Eight Desolations Emperor! His strength will surpass Xiao Yun in one fell swoop!"

"The inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperor? That... the Eight Desolate Emperor?" Tian Mo subconsciously clenched the armrests of the rattan chair as if remembering something terrible, cold sweat oozing from his forehead. "Is it really possible... to obtain that person's inheritance?"

That was when Dayu had just ended the Great Famine, and Dayu's Taoist tradition had not yet been fully formed.

By then, the Immortal Palace had already witnessed the power of the Dao Pillar and realized what would happen if Dayu's Daoist tradition continued to develop. However, they were not stupid enough to watch Dayu's Daoist tradition grow.

Therefore, their first reaction was to nip everything in the bud while the Dayu Dynasty was still in ruins and had not yet become established.

But by then, the Great Wilderness Immortals had already been suppressed and killed by the Dao Pillar. Even if there were still surviving Great Wilderness Immortals, they would never show up. However, the Dao Pillar was not deeply rooted at that time, and the Great Wilderness Immortals in the Tribulation Period were still able to move.

Therefore, the Immortal Palace mobilized eight people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage to take forceful action, intending to use the eight small worlds that were about to take shape to forcibly disrupt the terrain of the Great Thousand World and destroy the Dao Pillar.

The plan was perfect, but no one expected that an Eight Desolate Emperor would suddenly appear and defeat all eight Tribulation Crossing cultivators. He even refined the small worlds of the eight Tribulation Crossing cultivators and broke through to the realm of immortals.

Although no one knew how the eight people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage had offended the Eight Desolate Emperor, his anger was too terrifying. The Immortal Palace did not want to expose itself, so it had to turn behind the scenes and change its strategy.

"Of course you can—"

"The Eight Desolate Emperor's immortal soul has long since disappeared, but the thoughts of those eight people still remain. The Eight Desolate Land is almost under their control," the black shadow sneered, "otherwise, the Eight Desolate Marquis would not have defended the Eight Desolate Land to the death."

“This would be a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.”

Tian Mo quickly reacted and laughed coldly, "Even if the Marquis of Bahuang was a foolish loyalist, he wouldn't watch his son being killed by Xiao Yun. What's more, the Marquis of Bahuang is..."

Everyone in the Immortal Palace started laughing.

"The show is about to begin."
