"Profiteering and exploitation, the Great Families and Great Sects will sooner or later monopolize all benefits and legacies, becoming colossal entities, causing the ties of the Cultivation World to be severed, leaving the people in despair."
"This is a sign of the Heavenly Dao's decay; it appears prosperous, but the grand edifice is about to collapse. It's just a matter of time."
"Here it comes again, here it comes again, what's this about the grand edifice collapsing? Alarmist nonsense..." Elder Shen said impatiently, shaking his arms with pride:
"Look at this Qian Learning State Boundary, look at my Qian Taoist Sect, palatial pavilions soaring into the clouds, when has it not exuded the aura of celestial beings? Where could there be decay?"
Elder Zheng responded indifferently: "The facade is merely superficial, the clouds and fog hover in midair. The external splendor cannot conceal the rot of the human heart."
