What the Chengying Spire Master mentioned is exactly what they were worried about—the Arcane Pathway will completely shatter the inheritance hierarchy of the Bloodline True Form.
Indeed, the order of the Bloodline True Form is also a rigid and dead hierarchy, where any genius that appears will be absorbed and assimilated, but if the Arcane Pathway emerges, a 'genius powerhouse' will truly appear who doesn't need any resources, just needs to isolate and meditate for decades, and then comes out to shake the world.
Uncontrollable, authority challenged… even if the Arcane Pathway has a thousand benefits, if it really threatens their position, its promotional effect will be greatly reduced.
That's why Ian had long been prepared with a countermeasure.
Because the Arcane Pathway also requires resources.
Computational resources.
