Chapter 353 This is more than just a case of shocking the master

Yanzhou, Yan Valley.

As a first-class sect in Yanzhou, Yan Valley was built on the largest volcanic group in Yanzhou.

This group of volcanoes is already in a state of eruption at any time due to the rich fire spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Yan Valley is entrenched on this group of volcanoes. In order to use this huge and violent fire spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve its cultivation, Yan Valley will deliberately detonate the group of volcanoes, so that the sky of Yan Valley is covered by volcanic ash all day long, and there is no sunlight, making it a veritable forbidden area for mortals.

However, since the volcanoes there often erupted and no mortals lived there, Dayu could only turn a blind eye to Yan Gu's behavior. In addition, Yan Valley itself is a first-rate righteous sect. Although it does not frequently slay demons and eliminate evil, it does not cause any trouble either, just like the Yuehan Sect.

So although the disciples of Yan Valley were puzzled about Yanzhou becoming the target of the expedition, they were not worried at all. They just continued to do what they were supposed to do and were even a little happy, as if they wanted to see how Dayu would find fault with them. You know, they, Yan Gu, didn't even participate in provoking the nobles and the commoners.

But the upper echelons of Yan Valley were in a panic. Yesterday, they strictly prohibited the disciples from going out, but today they asked the disciples to run around to see if Dayu's expeditionary army had encountered any difficulties and to help if they could.

Many Yan Valley disciples were confused by this and wanted to help if possible.

The conflict between Dayu and the Taoist sect has been going on for a long time. They are well aware of the attitude of the sect towards Dayu. They, Yan Valley, have not done anything illegal, so what is there to be afraid of?

But since the elders had spoken, they naturally could not pretend to obey and they also wanted to see how Dayu's expeditionary force would find trouble.

Dayu's expeditionary force was quite leisurely. They came in a mighty force, picked a place to set up camp, and then allowed everyone to move freely to gain military merit. It seems that there is no difference between Yanzhou, a central province, and small provinces like Meizhou. The only difference is probably that the princes will not be stationed in the base camp like before.

In the main general's camp, Ji Fa called Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun thought Ji Fa wanted to discuss official business, so he bowed respectfully, but Ji Fa just waved his hand.

"Xiao Yun, your master has recently allocated funds to Dayu again."

"Funding?" Xiao Yun was stunned, his face blank.

In his memory, it seemed that Tianxu Tower always owed Dayu money and needed Dayu to allocate funds for its construction. How come it suddenly became Li Yanmo who allocated funds to Dayu?

"Brother Li is amazing. Recently, Master Tuomo sent 900 billion pieces of top-grade spiritual stones to Baidi City. The Ministry of Revenue went bankrupt. I heard that Your Majesty..."

Ji Fa hesitated for a moment and then had a strange expression on his face. "I have already gone to dig up the graves of my aunts and uncles to see if I can gather enough heads."

"Get enough... heads?" Xiao Yun had more question marks on his head.

Ji Fa began to explain, "What Brother Li sent was not a high-grade spirit stone worth 900 billion top-grade spirit stones, but 900 billion pieces of top-grade spirit stones. One billion top-grade spirit stones can add a real top-grade spirit vein to the state."

"As for the meaning of a supreme spiritual vein..."

"Xiao Yun, you should have been to the Pingyao Mountains. How did you feel about it?"

Xiao Yun nodded immediately, his expression serious, "It's extremely bad."

"The Imperial State is the place where Dayu's national destiny is. As the saying goes, a man with a destiny from heaven will live long and prosper. Xiao Yun, do you know why the nobles of Dayu in the Imperial State are not only young but also powerful?"

Xiao Yun shook his head, "I have always been curious about this matter."

Although Xiao Yun was born a refugee, he has seen a lot of things in the past eight years. What he finds most bizarre is the huge difference between the core cultivators of the Dayu Dynasty and the cultivators of the sects.

Among the millions of Taoist sects, it is not a strange thing to achieve the Golden Elixir after hundreds of years. Even in super sects it is normal.

But among Dayu's core team, it is not uncommon to reach the fusion stage after hundreds of years.

For example, Zhao Qian, the daughter of the Minister of War, who is currently slacking off in Ganzhou.

With a fusion stage of less than 200 years old, he would be a monster among monsters in any super sect, but among Dayu's core team, he is only the top one, not the only one.

"The methods of cultivation and the levels of realms are only to allow cultivators to get closer to the Tao. The more one understands the Tao, the faster one will cultivate. If the Tao actively opens its doors to cultivators, the cultivators' realms will soar at an extremely fast speed."

Xiao Yun was startled, and thought of a possibility, "Could it be that the Dao of this world is the team of Dayu..."

"Yes and no. The Dao is ruthless and will not favor anyone."

"So the first Emperor Yu refined the Dao Pillar."

“First, it is to suppress the chaotic Daoism in the Great Wilderness, and second, it is to communicate with the Great Dao, so that the cultivators of Dayu’s team can grow at a very fast speed and quell the chaos.”

"Everything has a price. The Dao Pillar will continue to consume the power of the first Emperor Yu."

"The first Emperor Yu has long since fallen, so the one that bears the consumption of the Dao Pillar is the Emperor State, the big world that was formed from the small world nurtured by the first Emperor Yu."

"The more cultivators Dayu trains, the more Dao Pillars will be consumed. But the world is too big and there are too many people. Dayu must train enough cultivators to suppress millions of sects, so as to prevent the Great Desolation Era from returning."

"The Imperial State was hollowed out as early as the first ten thousand years of Dayu. The Dao Sect was supposed to share the consumption with the Imperial State, but it became disloyal because of some ancient sects that stole the throne. Dayu had no choice but to launch an expedition to prolong the life of the Imperial State."

"But if we take too much, it will cause the Great Yu Daoist lineage to collapse, and give those ancient sects who are trying to steal the world an opportunity."

"And the evil stars in the sky are constantly eroding the Imperial State, the place where the country's destiny lies."

“That’s why there are places like the Pingyao Mountains.”

Ji Fa sighed deeply, "This expedition is not only to warn the sects, but also to extend the life of the Imperial State and prevent the Imperial State from seeing places like the Pingyao Mountains again. But in fact, we all know that we must surrender more than three super sects to prevent the Imperial State from further deteriorating."

"And in this case, your master gave Dayu 900 billion genuine top-grade spirit stones. Even if he copied seven or eight super sects, he might not be able to collect 900 billion top-grade spirit stones."

"It only takes fifty top-grade spiritual ores to turn a dangerous place like the Pingyao Mountains into a holy place for cultivation. Now Dayu has at least nine hundred top-grade spiritual ores in his hands—"

Xiao Yun's expression gradually became strange.

As the ancients said, a man of great achievements will frighten his ruler. Li Yanmo's actions are more than just a threat to his ruler. They will even make Emperor Yu go to the sky.

"That's just the beginning. Your master has seriously implemented the sect registration system. It's already been done in Meizhou. This is something that Dayu has been worried about for hundreds of thousands of years but has not yet implemented."

"If your master opens his mouth, His Majesty will have to move down."

"But Dayu will definitely not do such a thing as turning the tables."
