Dan Ding Sect occupied the Spirit Veins of Cloud Continent, likened to a giant monopoly group, while the cultivation families were like small companies attached to the conglomerate.

The beauty of the Cultivation World was relative to that of the common mortals, as cultivators never lacked Gold or Silver for food and drink and could easily live beyond a hundred years.

The only fairness, paradoxically, lay in the most unfair Spirit Root.
Zhou Yi searched many ancient texts but never heard of a method to increase the chances of offspring inheriting a Spirit Root; perhaps high-level cultivators could achieve it, but the cost was not something a cultivation family could afford.
