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

Chapter 434 Play hard to get
“How vicious!”

Hong Muer couldn't help but curse.

"Some super sects are ancient sects that have been disguised as such. Although they originated from the Great Desolation Sect, they have long been assimilated by the Great Yu Sect. However, this Great Desolation Alliance is a genuine Great Desolation Sect. Moreover, they are not just a Great Desolation Sect, but..." Zhong Sanyuan's eyes twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Nearly a hundred."

"These nearly one hundred aren't just ordinary Great Wilderness disciples; they're genuine ancient prodigies from the Great Wilderness era! If they could gain access to resources from the Dao Sect Competition, they could establish their own Great Wilderness sect within a hundred years."

Hong Muer was startled by Zhong Sanyuan's serious expression. After thinking seriously for a while, she became puzzled again. "It's not that serious, is it? The Dao Pillar is right there. If the Great Wilderness Dao Sect could so easily take root in the universe under the Dao Pillar's nose, there wouldn't be an ancient sect that used trickery to transform into the Dayu Dao Sect."

Zhong Sanyuan shook his head, his tone becoming heavier. "Miss Hong, the problem isn't that they established the Great Desolate Sect, but the impact they will have!"

"Even if they are suppressed by the Dao Pillar, the cultivation methods of the Great Wilderness's geniuses are still far superior to those of ordinary sects."

"It is indeed difficult for the Great Wilderness geniuses to establish a Great Wilderness sect, but those sects with weaker traditions will certainly befriend them and covet the Great Wilderness cultivation methods."

Hong Muer frowned. "How could a sect with such a weak tradition possibly master the Great Desolate cultivation method? What's there to worry about?"

Zhong Sanyuan shook his head and sighed helplessly, "This is the most terrifying part. They can't do it, so they become obsessed with it. Their lack of understanding should have cut off their contact with the Great Wilderness Dao, but instead it has given them the courage to not know what taboos are."

Li Yanmo remembered what Nuyao and Jiang Baili had said about the origin of the Great Wilderness Taoist tradition.

The cultivators before the Great Wilderness blindly imitated Nv Yao in obtaining elixirs. Not only did they not realize the consequences of doing so, they even devoted themselves to it.

What is scary is not that those sects with weak Taoist traditions learned the Great Wilderness Taoist tradition, but that they became madly obsessed with it, researched it non-stop, and finally became a unified existence like the Great Wilderness Taoist tradition in the form of Dayu's Taoist tradition.

Hong Muer scratched her head, still confused, but Li Yanmo was frowning, so the potential problem must be very serious, so she should not ask too many questions.

"Then...is it really better to just kill them off at this Dao Sect Competition?"

Zhong Sanyuan thought about it for a while, then nodded and shook his head.

Because it wasn't Li Yanmo, Hong Muer slapped him directly, "Speak human language."

"The prodigies of the Great Wilderness Daoist sect have revived and have appeared openly before the millions of Daoist sects. This has already happened," Zhong Sanyuan rubbed his red forehead. "The Daoist sect competition is nothing more than a formality to allow the Great Wilderness Alliance to legitimately enter the Daoist sect."

Hong Muer suddenly realized, "Millions of Daoist sects already know about the existence of the Great Wilderness Alliance. Those Great Wilderness geniuses can still take root in some lesser-known sects."

"Rather than letting them thrive in an unknown place, it's better to bring them out into the open and deal with them," Shen Ziqing said with a smile after his eyes flickered. "Master, I have a plan."

"Oh? Tell me about it," Li Yanmo raised his eyebrows.

"It's an unchangeable fact that sects with weaker traditions will try to emulate stronger ones, and there's no need for us to deny it," Shen Ziqing said, holding up a finger and smiling. "Since they're bound to emulate a certain sect, why not let them emulate us?"

Zhong Sanyuan was stunned, then suddenly realized and clapped his hands repeatedly.

Hong Mu'er didn't quite understand, but she clapped her hands anyway. Shen Ziqing continued, "I could also disguise myself as a Great Wilderness Daoist, leveraging the momentum of the Great Wilderness Alliance to legitimately appear at the Daoist Competition. As long as we demonstrate a sufficiently strong Daoist lineage, those sects with weaker traditions will naturally follow our lead. As long as we provide proper guidance, not only can we prevent those weaker sects from considering the Great Wilderness Daoist lineage, but we can also strengthen the Dayu Daoist lineage itself."

Li Yanmo nodded and raised his hand to make a move. "Second Brother, guidance alone is not enough. We will also need to borrow your business acumen to deliver supplies to those small sects so that they have enough time and energy to study the Dao."

Shen Ziqing was slightly startled, then immediately bowed and said, "Disciple, I understand. However, there is one more thing, and that is the manpower required to participate in the Dao Sect Competition."

Zhong Sanyuan's eyes flashed, and he smiled and tapped the table with his fingers, "Hahahaha - Brother Shen, look at what you said, don't we have a lot of idle people here?"

Shen Ziqing pretended to hesitate, "This... isn't good."

"Wouldn't it be better to ask?"

Several people slowly came to the training ground under Tianxu Tower. During this period of time, most of the geniuses were here refining spiritual energy and preparing to form pills.

"What?! I don't have to fight for the Sin Territory! Thank you, Lord Li, for giving me this opportunity! I will definitely perform well!"

Cui Yuer widened her eyes and bowed repeatedly. Her eager look made Shen Ziqing a little confused. It was Zhong Sanyuan who gave the explanation.

"This Cui Yu'er is the granddaughter of the Sin Domain Sect Master. She wants to leave her own sect and go out on her own all the time," Zhong Sanyuan accepted.

"Why...?" Li Yanmo was a little curious.

Cui Yu'er put her hands on her hips, her eyes clear, "Because I want to take the civil service exam and work in the Ministry of Justice!"

Li Yanmo immediately retreated tactically, and even Shen Ziqing opened his squinting eyes.

Zhong Sanyuan rubbed his forehead. "That's right... there have been examples of disciples from super sects who managed to gain official positions in the Great Yu Dynasty, but this is subject to a prerequisite, that is, they have a clean background and have never committed any acts of harming innocent lives. The cultivation methods of the Sin Realm... are a little bit borderline."

"What do you mean by subtle?"

"They don't harm innocent lives. They specifically harm those who harm innocent lives, including but not limited to demonic cultivators and monsters," Zhong Sanyuan paused and added, "The key is the word 'harm'. They will constantly torment those monsters and demonic cultivators. Their methods are extremely cruel, even to the point of being inhumane. Under Dayu law, this is considered lynching. However, the Crime Domain has a clear understanding of the bottom line, and their reputation in the local area is surprisingly good."

"Even uh... he has the reputation of being a great judge."

Li Yanmo was speechless and looked at Cui Yuer, "So what's your reason for wanting to leave the sect and take a position in the Ministry of Justice?"

"Of course, it's about changing the criminal code so that the crime zone doesn't count as lynching."

"...You have ambition, I believe in you," Li Yanmo patted Cui Yuer's shoulder and gave her encouragement.
