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

Chapter 44 Dao Sect
Li Yanmo didn't listen much to what Feng Shouyun said afterwards, nor did he dare to listen, and he didn't even dare to open the interface of the management system.

Anyway, it's just praise.

The governor of Risheng City, who was at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, called him "Brother Li" all the time in a very cordial manner.

But Li Yanmo liked the prefect's previous attitude more.

However, Feng Shouyun was a prefect after all, and he did not really abuse his power for personal gain. After praising him, he started to talk about business.

"The appearance of the Xiang Mo Zun this time is probably not a coincidence."

When Venerable Xiangmo was mentioned, everyone present, even Mei Chai Shao, became serious.

If they had not taken action because of Li Yanmo's infatuation, they would probably have become part of the ghost world of Xiangmo Zun last night.

"According to the records of the Great Yu Dynasty, the Xiangmo Venerable had long since perished. Unexpectedly, his spirit survived and even borrowed the power of the Demon Immortal Cult to break through the Fusion Stage and achieve a body capable of overcoming tribulations," Feng Shouyun said with a serious expression. "I suspect that other demons, like the Xiangmo Venerable, may also exist in the world as spirits."

Feng Shouyun paused and spoke slowly.

"I'm afraid there's a Taoist sect behind them helping them."

The elders of Qingshan Sect fell silent.

The unknown cultivator who appeared last night was also at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. There were very few people of this strength in Qianzhou, but looking at the entire universe, there were countless of them. That unknown cultivator was obviously here to slay demons and break through realms, otherwise he would not have asked Mei Chai Shao to take action on the condition of slaying demons and breaking through realms.

The unknown monk directly revealed the identity of Venerable Xiangmo, which meant that those monks were not deceived by Venerable Xiangmo, but were cooperating with Venerable Xiangmo in a transaction.

Cooperating with the devil is no small matter, and ordinary sects simply cannot bear such a responsibility.

Then the answer is obvious.

"When the Confucian School was first established, demons rampaged and attempted to destroy the sacred pillar. Emperor Yu convened a grand demon-slaying ceremony, and Venerable Xiangmo was one of the demons who took action. The only ones who could have protected Venerable Xiangmo's soul at that time were the Taoists who also participated in this incident," Feng Shouyun sighed, holding his forehead. "If there had been another demon who transcended tribulations in his own realm in this world... I'm afraid the Yu Dynasty would have been in chaos."

The elders of Qingshan Sect were feeling uneasy. Although Qingshan Sect was inconspicuous, it was also a member of the Alliance of Millions of Sects.

The unidentified Divine Transformation cultivator had already escaped last night. If the mastermind behind this incident was indeed some super sect in Taoism, then the other party must have known that their Qingshan Sect had stepped in to help Feng Shouyun.

Mei Chai Shao, the ancestor of Qingshan, was not only fearless but also blunt, "I'm afraid it's to interfere with your Dayu Dynasty's sect registration system."

"Registration with the sect?" Li Yanmo was a little curious.

Feng Shouyun and Leng Ningshuang looked at each other, still struggling with what to say.

After all, they had already discussed with someone in the military sect to persuade Li Yanmo to register with the sect, and the existence of that infatuated swordsman also increased Li Yanmo's power. If they did not persuade him well, Li Yanmo would most likely resist registering with the sect.

But Mei Chai Shao had already started talking.

"In order to connect the three thousand great ways and increase the success rate of cultivators achieving enlightenment and becoming immortals, Emperor Yu refined the Dao Pillar and used it to establish the Dao Sect."

"The original purpose of the Dao Sect was to break the decadent era at the end of the Great Wilderness, allowing the sect to rise and strengthen the power of the Dayu Dynasty itself."

"It was fine at first, but some ancient sects used the power of the Dao Sect to deceive others and gradually wooed other sects."

"The final result was that the Dao Sect became an alliance of millions of sects and secretly diluted the ruling power of the Dayu Dynasty, attempting to destroy the Dayu Dynasty and return to the Great Wilderness."

The leader of the Qingshan Sect was horrified and said quickly, "Ancestor, you can't say that!"

Mei Chai Shao glanced at the Sect Leader and asked, "Do you think I'm wrong?"

“…Not really.”

The leader of the Qingshan Sect fell silent. Li Yanmo hadn't expected so many things to be involved, and his head suddenly became heavy. Seeing this, Feng Shouyun also knew that he had said too much.

"Brother Li, you don't have to worry about this, but... I do want to talk to you about the registration."

Feng Shouyun looked embarrassed and even found it difficult to speak. Yesterday, he would never have imagined that he would be like this.

"I wonder if you are willing to accept the laws of the Dayu Dynasty and register your sect. Of course, we will not make this public, and we will provide you with certain assistance and protection in secret."

The first reaction of the elders of Qingshan Sect was to persuade Li Yanmo to refuse.

The sect registration system will subvert the existence of Taoism. Any sect that accepts the sect registration system may be ostracized by millions of sects. The most terrifying are those sects from the Great Wilderness period that disguised themselves by stealing the show.

But they soon thought of the unknown monk who had escaped.

The Dao Sect would definitely make some moves. If they could get the secret help and protection from the Military Sect, they would at least be able to hold on to the Qingshan Sect. As for the Fairy Sister that Li Yanmo mentioned...

Li Yanmo was right. If they were too persistent, they might make the other party unhappy.

After exchanging glances, the elders of Qingshan Sect chose to remain silent. After all, their ancestor had already given Qingshan Sect to Li Yanmo.

Li Yanmo crossed his fingers. He was not interested in security, but he was curious about what the Dayu Dynasty wanted.

"Then what do I have to pay?"

Seeing that Li Yanmo was not confused by the help and protection of the military sect, and directly pointed out the crux of the problem, Feng Shouyun was a little surprised and could not help but praise him, "You are worthy of being favored by the infatuated sword immortal."

Li Yanmo immediately waved his hands in shame, while Jian Xin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"The military sect will not restrict the freedom of the people in the sect, but it will take inventory of the sect's property and, ahem - collect taxes," Feng Shouyun's eyes couldn't help but wander when he mentioned the word "taxation".

This is the most fundamental reason why millions of sects are united.

Once the registration system is accepted, the sect must be unilaterally transparent to the Dayu Dynasty, and the Dayu Dynasty also has the right to send troops.

"Okay, I accept. When will the tax be collected? And how will it be collected?"

"I know this is hard for you to accept, but...ah?"

Feng Shouyun wanted to give some advice and tell him the conditions for opening the military gate, but Li Yanmo's overly straightforward answer made Feng Shouyun unable to react for a while, and even Leng Ningshuang was dumbfounded.

"This... your spiritual fields and animals... no—"

Feng Shouyun glanced at the raccoon and corrected his words.

"The Spirit Beast Garden and its affiliated sects are considered your sect's assets. The Military Gate will take 30% of the profits based on actual profits. Of course, this also includes certain security guarantees. If the sect's business affects the order of mortals or even causes large-scale deaths, the Dayu Dynasty will collect a fine."

Li Yanmo felt a little regretful.

When he heard about taxes, he thought it could be cut in half, but 30% would be good too.

The Qingshan Sect would provide one million low-grade spirit stones every year, and the Dayu Dynasty could cut off 300,000 spirit stones at once.

"Of course, the Dayu Dynasty would not collect taxes for no reason."

"The Military Gate will guarantee your sect's assets and provide convenient channels, intelligence, spiritual treasures, and elixirs. Of course, these areas are still under construction because the registration system has not yet been implemented..."
