But if the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage had hundreds of millions of cultivators, then even if its Great Firmament Golden Immortals stopped cultivating, they might not be able to investigate them all. Recruitment itself meant relaxed restrictions, and many might have questionable temperaments and character. Without investigation, supervision, and the removal of bad apples, problems were bound to arise.
Over time, the lower ranks of the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage might degenerate, gradually committing boundless slaughter and accumulating Murderous Karmic Force, ruining the lineage's Fortune and ultimately destroying it.
Therefore, Yuan Yan rejected Fuxi's proposal.

"Then why do you still...?" Yuan Jie did not finish, but his meaning was obvious.
Fuxi explained unhurriedly, "Your concerns amount to no more than two points. First, insufficient resources. Second, the fear that a mixed crowd will ruin the Fortune of our Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage. If we loosened restrictions and recruited hundreds of millions of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals, serious problems might indeed arise. But if we only recruited several hundred million Taiyi Golden Immortals, there should be no issue."

Granted, recruiting several hundred million Taiyi Golden Immortals without lowering the treatment of Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage cultivators would still require an enormous amount of resources and treasures.
But after joining the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage, these Taiyi Golden Immortals would not
