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

Chapter 519: Hybrid Dragon
Li Yanmo didn't have much impression of Longmen, he only knew that it was very expensive.

When Ao Tian mentioned Longmen for the first time, Li Yanmo wanted to invest in its construction immediately. Unfortunately, Ao Tian's Longmen plan had only reached the stage of creating a new folder, and it would take another hundred years to come up with a serious plan. Ao Tian was unexpectedly very principled and was determined not to invest until the obstacles were revealed.

So there was no follow-up to this matter.

Now that Ao Tian has come here in a hurry, he should have a plan.

"Ao... Xiao Ao, have you finished the plan for building the Dragon Gate?"

Li Yanmo really didn't want to see an old senior like Ao Tian kneeling down to listen to him, so he had to suppress the subtlety and entanglement in his heart and asked softly like an old senior.

"Uh, Lord Li, I'm working on the Dragon Gate...plan."

"Where have you been?"

"Let me tell you about this part."

Li Yanmo looked at Ao Tian with mixed feelings.

The dragon race is a long-lived species. Unlike cultivators who become long-lived through cultivation, dragons have almost no real sense of time. Sometimes they take a nap and wake up only to find that more than ten years have passed.

Fortunately, he just wanted to find a reason to call the dragon clan here, and didn't really want to build a dragon gate, otherwise he would be angry to death.

"...Xiao Ao, there are some things I don't want to hide from you. Actually, I didn't ask you to come here just for Dragon Gate, but mainly because of the matter at the Immortal Palace."

Ao Tian blinked and covered his mouth in astonishment, "Master Li, you——"

"Regarding this matter, I actually..."

"You are actually willing to become the dragon clan's backer!?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Li Yanmo nodded subconsciously, but after tasting it, Li Yanmo suddenly felt something was wrong.

Are you actually willing to become the dragon clan's backer?

Ao Tian's face was filled with emotion. "Master Li, I understand. You must be planning to use the construction of the Dragon Gate as an excuse to protect our dragon clan, right?"

This is, right, right?

Li Yanmo suspected that he had come to the wrong world line.

When did a clan as powerful as the dragon clan need others to support them?

However, seeing how moved Ao Tian was, asking directly was definitely not an option. Li Yanmo pinched his chin and thought for a while before asking in a deep voice, "Is the situation very bad?"

Ao Tian, already certain that Li Yanmo was trying to protect the Dragon Clan, nodded and, imitating Li Yanmo, lowered his voice. "It's terrible. The void left by the Eight Wastelands after they were uprooted is too large. The terrain there is flat, and it doesn't have the topographical advantages of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain. We're barely suppressing the attack of the Naraku Demon Clan thanks to our numbers, but that's only temporary."

"This incident has caused quite a bit of unrest among the demon clans. Coupled with the fact that the Daoist Million Alliance is now in name only, there have been calls among the demon clans to form a demon clan alliance and elect a demon emperor!"

Li Yanmo frowned and subconsciously thought of the Immortal Palace.

The Immortal Palace suffered a great loss in the matter of the Eight Desolations, and the Immortal Palace will definitely not give up. However, the Immortal Palace can no longer use the Taoist sect. Taking advantage of the Taoist sect's Million Alliance's demise to use the demon clan seems to be the best option for the Immortal Palace at present.

"What does this have to do with the Dragon Clan?"

"The dragon clan is not a demon, but it occupies the ecological niche of commanding all demons. If the dragon clan is not eliminated, the demon clan will not be able to become a whole, and there will be no true demon emperor in this world," Ao Tian explained.

Li Yanmo didn't quite understand the so-called ecological niche, but given the status of the dragon clan in the universe, if the demon clan wanted to form a demon alliance, there was definitely no way to bypass the dragon clan.

"The demon tribe, could it be that they have obtained some secret weapon?"

Li Yanmo understood the cause and effect, but he still didn't quite understand why the dragons needed the Tianxu Tower as a backer. The dragons weren't able to occupy their so-called ecological niche by relying on human relationships, and the demons were never good people.

If there was anyone among the demon clan who had the ability to kick the dragon clan out of its ecological niche, the dragon clan would have been kicked out long ago, and would not have waited until the Eight Desolations incident.

"It's not really a secret weapon, but..."

Ao Tian hesitated for a moment and then lowered his voice.

"They're creating dragons through hybridization."

Many question marks popped up in Li Yanmo's mind in an instant.

He thought of many reasons why the demons could defeat the dragons.

For example, he took out a still warm dragon sealing pot from his crotch, which could seal all the dragons.

For example, secretly developing a type of soldier specifically designed to kill dragons.

But Li Yanmo never expected that the demon clan actually intended to rely on hybridization to seize the ecological niche of the dragon clan in the world, and their strange postures became more and more.

"Uh... aren't they really just looking for a plausible excuse to have orgy?" Li Yanmo asked tentatively after hesitating for a moment.

Although the demon race is collectively referred to as the demon race and all appear in human form, they are actually divided into very fine categories, including those with horns, those without horns, those with scales or without scales, those with constant body temperature, those with cold blood, those with hair or without hair.

This distinction makes it difficult for the demon tribe to unite, and they even strongly repel each other. However, after being exposed to human appearance for a long time, their aesthetic tastes will involuntarily follow those of humans. No matter if they have horns and hair, as long as the human form looks good, it is good-looking.

Then the demon clan was divided into the old-school demon clan and the new-school demon clan.

The philosophy of the old-school demon clan is very simple: cows should act like cows, and tigers should act like tigers. The new school is even simpler.

As long as it looks good.

But the old-school demons are often very strong, and they believe in the law of the jungle. When facing the new school, they will talk for a few words and then use their fists.

After being beaten too many times, the new-school people will find all kinds of high-sounding excuses, such as the reappearance of ferocious beasts.

"I heard that it was like this at the beginning. When they found that their offspring were really becoming more and more like dragons, they approved it," Ao Tian scratched his head and sighed in distress.

"This...is it so easy to make a dragon?" Li Yanmo was a little confused.

"The point isn't whether they've created real dragons through hybridization, but rather that they've already created a large number of demons that look like dragons, and these demons are numerous," Ao Tian shook his head. "Only when they're numerous can they be called a tribe. Dragons are powerful and have long lifespans, but the problem is that those with poor fertility are as good as having none at all."

"If this continues, the dragons cultivated by the demon race will be the real dragon race. We, the true dragon race, will sooner or later be classified as special dragon species, not the dragon race."

"If that happens, the demon race will have ample reason to establish a demon race alliance centered around the Dragon Race. By then... I'm afraid we, the Dragon Race, will be unable to defend ourselves."

After saying that, Ao Tian stroked his beard, lamenting the passage of time.

Although he didn't quite understand, Li Yanmo still realized the seriousness of the problem. However, thinking that the demons had a long lifespan and no real sense of time, Li Yanmo breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "Will it take them several hundred years to succeed?"

"Come to think of it, the last time I heard about it, they seemed to be almost successful, but it probably won't be that fast."

"Last time?" Li Yanmo felt something was wrong. "When was it?"

"About six hundred years ago."
