What is called scheming.
Calculating that the Sword Sect faces the calamity of a millennium destruction, its fall is inevitable. Finding the person who betrayed the sect, cleverly managed cause and effect, secretly nurtured, and at a crucial moment, gave him the strength of a single sword to flatten the Nine Luminaries Sword Pavilion and divide the ten-thousand-year Daoist Collection of Cloud Platform Immortal Peak.
This is not called scheming; this is known as the background story known to all, the agreed-upon hidden mainline, the unspoken division of interests.
True scheming isn't just calculating that this kid has the right background and ability but also estimating how many trials he can overcome by himself, how many people he can challenge with a single sword, and how many Heavenly Materials Treasures must be taken out to supplement his lacking cultivation.
