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

Chapter 437 I’m just rich, not strong!

"But speaking of which, Master, are you planning to lead the team to Bahuang yourself?"

Seeing Zhuge Moer's eyes rolling around, Li Yanmo knew that Zhuge Moer wanted to go to Bahuang to join in the fun. Just as he was about to speak, Zhuge Moer suddenly interrupted and said, "Master, I will definitely convince you. How about we save some time and just get your consent?"

"Hey, what you said seems to make some sense," Li Yanmo scratched the back of his head. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. After thinking for a while, he nodded blankly.

This matter was decided inexplicably.

"Great—I'll go tell Senior Sister right away!"

"Ah? Isn't Jian Xin's cultivation too..."

Li Yanmo hesitated. Although the Eight Wastelands was not as dangerous as the ancient battlefield, it was not a place to play. You know, Jian Xin was only at the first level of Qi training!
As a master, he had no way to ensure Jian Xin's safety, so he could only bring along thirty half-immortals to escort him.

"..."

"Cultivation is not a problem, but the question is why should we, master and disciple, go to the Eight Desolate Taoist Competition to join in the fun?" Li Yanmo sighed helplessly.

The one with the highest cultivation level in their Taixu Sect is Shen Ziqing, followed by Shen Ziqing's parents. With this configuration, they don't even know what to compete for in the Taoist competition.

"Of course, it's to let the millions of Taoist sects see our strength!" Zhuge Moer put his hands on his hips and blew his hair in front of his forehead proudly.

"Insight... huh? That makes sense!"

Li Yanmo originally wanted to complain about the strength of their Taixu Sect, but then he thought, this might be a good opportunity!

What was he most afraid of? That a super sect would discover their true identity? No, what he feared most was that Emperor Yu would be fooled by his performance, truly believing that with Tianxu Tower around, the Immortal Palace, the eternal black hand, was just a roadside obstacle, easily killed with a single kick, and then making no further arrangements.

So this competition is indeed a good opportunity.

Since Emperor Yu himself arranged the geniuses of the Great Wilderness to induce the Immortal Palace to arrange the Taoist competition in the Eight Wildernesses, he would definitely pay attention to the development of the Taoist competition throughout the whole process. This is a very good fact for Emperor Yu to realize.

That’s him. Although Li Yanmo is generous, his real strength is really not good enough!
A lot of things... those are just coincidences! Just treat us like rich guys!

"Okay - then let's go to the Taoist competition and show our faces!" Li Yanmo waved his hand and decided the matter.

When the geniuses heard that Li Yanmo was going to go to the Eight Wastelands in person to participate in the Taoist competition, they were so excited that they started to compete even more desperately. Three of them formed the Supreme Golden Elixir that day.

This news soon reached the ears of Kong Pu and other super sect leaders headed by Tianxu Tower and the Dayu Dynasty.

"Master Li is actually going to take action personally... Could it be that the mastermind behind the Immortal Palace is about to take action?" Kong Pu's face was solemn. "This matter is serious."

Xia Tian and the others nodded repeatedly, but Hong Menglian sneered, "What's so great about this? The mastermind behind this was simply lured into action by Master Li's scheme."

Kong Pu thought this made sense and suggested, "How about taking two magical weapons? I haven't had the chance to use the magical weapon that is the guardian of my Xinghe Third Transformation Sect since I refined it. I've wanted to use it for a long time, but the ancestor has always refused."

"Hey - hearing what you said, my Six Paths Sect refined a Wheel of Reverse Path 60,000 years ago. Because it doesn't look like something from the Six Paths Sect's orthodox tradition, it has been kept in the treasury gathering dust. I've wanted to play with it for a long time," Xia Tian chuckled.

With Kong Pu and Xia Tian leading the charge, the other sect leaders also began to chuckle, remembering the immortal artifacts they had refined but refused to use. At this point, Xiantian Taoist raised his hand and said, "My Xianyue Tower has an immortal artifact that can conceal one's cultivation level and appearance. Only those with a higher cultivation level than the user can see through the disguise. I wonder if you would like to use it."

"Use it! Of course!"

In Baidi City, Dizhou, ministers were discussing the matter in the court.

"Is it unwise for Lord Li to personally take action this time?" Ye Shen, the Minister of Revenue, frowned. "Should we assign him some bodyguards?"

"His eldest disciple is a true immortal," Leng Shanhe reminded.

"...Whether or not to have bodyguards is secondary. The important thing is that we must let Lord Li see our sincerity. We cannot let Lord Li think that he is fighting alone!" Ye Shen was not discouraged, but became more positive.

"Don't worry, we're ready," Leng Shanhe said, his hands on his hips. "We put a lot of effort into catching her!"

The Minister of War also added, "Xiao Yun is almost ready. The Immortal Palace is really generous. They give Xiao Yun whatever he asks for."

Ye Shen sneered, "They've been eroding our Dayu Dynasty for hundreds of thousands of years. How could they not have a lot hidden in their belly? This time, it's time to make them vomit it all out."

Leng Shanhe sighed, "Thanks to Lord Li's help, all twenty-nine super sects, including the Xinghe Three Transformations Sect, have been registered. They are also following the example of Zhuozhou and implementing reforms, which has saved us a lot of time and energy. The only problem is..."

Leng Shanhe looked at the Minister of Revenue and kicked the powerful ball over.

"Mr. Minister of Revenue, how do you think we should reward them?"

The Minister of Revenue hung up the phone on the spot, pretending not to hear.

……

Immortal Hall.

The black shadow raised his hand and waved, and coffins emitting a cold and gloomy aura rose from the ground.

"You're going to use them?" The demon poked his head in curiosity, and shuddered when he saw the symbols on the coffin. "They were all extremely vicious and evil at the end of the Great Wilderness."

"We want to show those third-rate sects the power of the Great Wilderness Dao Sect."

The shadowy figure raised his hand and waved it. As the coffin lid gradually opened, a chilling atmosphere filled the air, thick with the smell of decay and death. At first, the corpses within the coffins lay motionless, their skin shrunken and their bones rigid, as if they were merely ordinary, withered bones. However, gradually, their bodies began to tremble slightly, and a faint green light flickered in their empty eye sockets, as if some mysterious force had breathed new life into them.

The corpse's fingers slowly bent, making a clicking sound, and then their bodies sat up from the coffin in an unnatural posture, their joints moving stiffly. Their movements were slow and clumsy at first, but over time, they gradually became smoother, as if they had re-adapted to this long-dead body.

The first one to resuscitate was a young man with green eyes. As soon as he woke up, he raised his hand and pressed down. Several corpses that were resuscitating froze on the spot and swayed like puppets.

"It's a good material for the séance—"
