True Monarch Changrong's gaze sharpened, "Does the Taoist Master mean..."
Xu Yang said with a light chuckle, "Although I cannot see its trace, I can guess its identity."
"How could you guess?"
True Monarch Changrong was somewhat startled and doubtful.
"Simple!"
Xu Yang smiled and said, "Once cultivation reaches such a level and develops to such an extent, there must be traces. It's impossible for it to be quietly cultivating somewhere, unnoticed, and become an ancient monstrosity over ten thousand years."
A cultivator needs resources for cultivation.
But resources don't come without reason; one must fight for them, snatch them!
Therefore, a world of cultivation is inevitably a world of great contention.
This is the case for the current world of cultivation, and it's no exception in the world of Taoism, even with "moral" constraints. There are still struggles over fate and incense offerings between the great sects of Taoism.
