His only option was to leave, both to silence doubts and to pave the way for his Dao heart.
Most within the Li clan were content with their place in life, serving as workers for the Azure Bamboo Sword Sect. While he saw nothing wrong with that, especially given how well the sect treated his family and how hands-off they were with almost everything, it wasn't the life he envisioned for himself.
He yearned for more.
It wasn't that he wanted to usurp the Azure Bamboo Sword Sect's position or elevate his clan to join the other founding sects. He simply wanted the chance to be like them, and break the mold and be a pioneer in something, like how those fourteen sects ended up creating the Yue State, and developed it into what it was today.
He wanted something similar, though not as exact. He didn't want to create a nation, but he did hope to achieve something that was just as grand
For him, that "something" was reaching the Domain Realm.
