As for the matter of righteous paths and demonic paths.

As long as you don't provoke the wrath of heaven and earth, no one will care.

Even if you truly do provoke the wrath of heaven and earth! As long as you are certain that there is a way forward on this path, and it benefits the family more than harms, the family will still be your most steadfast supporter!

For this, they wouldn't care even if they became the enemies of the world...

This is the survival way of the Noble Family.

In contrast, the Holy Land appears more gentle and more rule-abiding.

Hmm.

Because the rules themselves are set by the Three Great Sacred Lands.

Crafting rules, hoarding resources, abiding by rules, benefiting oneself and others.

For the Holy Land, the greatest benefit is gained when everyone adheres to the rules they set. Thus, even if disciples break the rules, prioritizing the rules is a must!

The Holy Land is not a Noble Family.

This is not difficult to understand.

Although there is an ancient saying that punishment does not extend to the aristocracy, the meaning of the three words 'aristocracy' can be discussed.

Then the question arises; in this world where Longevity Masters live for three thousand years and can single-handedly bring peace, who is the aristocracy?

The descendants of the Longevity Masters?

Yes, but they must be direct descendants with sufficient cultivation talent and perseverance.

Disciples?

Yes, but they must be direct disciples who also have the potential to achieve longevity.

As for the rest...

Not important!

Because they are not important, these people must also abide by certain rules. If they exceed the scope of rules, they will be punished!

Precisely because they are not important, the current Profound Celestial Realm and East State are depicted as a shared governance by the Three Great Sacred Lands and Hundred Schools, and they can coexist relatively peacefully!

After all, it's because the number of vested interests at the top is small enough for the general populace to accept.

In other words, the Three Sacred Lands act as the government, while Noble Families are the landlords and the elite. With the top level indifferent and delegating power, the Three Sacred Lands and Hundred Schools collaborate to suppress and exploit the common people below.

This model sounds somewhat thorough.

But in practice, this is indeed a highly skilled method of 'rule by men,' very fitting for the Celestial Profound Realm, and can be implemented for a long time.

After all, the resources needed by cultivators are completely different from those needed by ordinary people, so exploiting those who struggle hard isn't necessary.

Furthermore, when cultivators can shift mountains and oceans through their own power, even building roads, farming, mining, and constructing cemeteries don't require ordinary people to do it.

Therefore, the coexistence between ordinary people and cultivators seems very peaceful.

Even if upward mobility channels are basically locked, there's rarely any so-called turmoil.

Why not chaos?

Because it's locked.

If you don't even have cultivation, what can you use to create chaos!

As for those bottom-level cultivators unwilling to remain ordinary for a lifetime, they are the truly unfortunate ones!

Struggling all their lives, they might at most reach the Divine Travel Realm. If they have extraordinary talent and fortunately join some so-called Sect, cultivation... stops at Nirvana!

As to progressing further?

Either align with the Three Great Sacred Lands, spending a thousand years to hone, finally returning to be a Sect leader.

Or...

No other path!

Joining a Noble Family, you'd only be a dog. Regardless of what others say, even with two squanderers like Chen Zhixing and Chen Zhaosheng in the Ziwei Chen Family, how much opposition would there be when seeking resources for reaching absolute peaks in this life?

If it weren't for Chen Zhixing and his elder cousin being traitors by celestial mandate, then even someone as peak Nirvana as Lii Shuang and Snow Soul, who embodies Nirvana Cultivation Technique, wouldn't gain any real benefits from the Chen Family!

This is the way Noble Families work; they are inherently self-contained, with no room for outsiders to rise.

Specific reference to Sword Demon Dugu!

As for the Holy Land?

If you compare the Holy Land to the Noble Family, it's more lenient in resources and upward channels, but only in comparison!

Joining the Holy Land and becoming a Holy Land disciple, gradually integrated over time, finally becoming a part of the Holy Land.

What, you say someone is resolute in their will, unmoved by external things, solely intending to return and build their Sect?

Not to mention those truly able to establish themselves in the Holy Land, how many don't bring their own family to the Holy Land but are willing to return to their own little Sect? If you really wish to return, then go back.

After working for the Holy Land for hundreds or even thousands of years, you're delegated back to your original Sect, becoming a minor local tyrant. Then you spread the half-baked things you learned from the Holy Land within your Sect, making other disciples yearn even more for the Holy Land.

Then after you spread the word, do you wish to break away from the Three Sacred Lands to work on your own?

Don't even think about it.

On one hand, resources are monopolized by the Three Sacred Lands and Noble Families, keeping talented disciples around would be useless, without resources, advancement is hopeless, so why would someone forsake their future?

On the other hand, if indeed there is a promising disciple, the Three Sacred Lands wouldn't be as easygoing as they are to Noble Families but would directly come to take them!

Noble Families don't force it because their cultivation foundation is fundamentally different from the Holy Land. Forcibly bringing them back would still require them to retrain, with much cost and it's not worth it, and it's easy to cause collective disputes with these landlords, making it rather counterproductive.

But those small Sects.

Your cultivation technique inheritance comes from the Holy Land, there's no Longevity Master among your ancestors, and you share lineage with the Holy Land, essentially part of the Three Sacred Lands' subordinate Sects, thus it's only natural to move you!

No one would even speak up for you!

Specific reference, it can be to when Chen Zhixing's beautiful master was taken away by the Immortal Ascension Sect, where Sect members visiting said they wanted her, and not even the Sect Leader had any reason or position to refuse!

Having used someone else's, you owe them, and Three Sacred Lands taking her is not a bad thing for her personally. Why would you stop it?

People move upwards, water flows downwards, this is an incredibly simple concept.

Otherwise, when Chen Zhixing's beautiful master was taken by the Immortal Ascension Sect, with Chen Zhixing's irritable temper, how could he endure without taking action for so long?

No reason.

No position.

And no necessity.

The key is that people who sound like they're having a hard time with these Sects so bad are so favored by the Three Sacred Lands, and can be taken away, are just one in a hundred thousand cultivators!

Among an ordinary billion people, can ten thousand bottom-level cultivators emerge?

Then converting this, what is the chance of an ordinary person joining the Three Sacred Lands?

This is the rule of Profound Celestial Realm - East State, and a kind of order composed of these bottom-level rules.

Holy Land, Noble Family, Sect, Loose Cultivator, Ordinary People!

Simple, effective, and very suitable for the Celestial Profound Realm.

If without external forces, this order will last until the next ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or even longer periods, until a strong figure who can genuinely break and — no, should say is willing, and must change these rules emerges, in order for a bit of change to occur.

Otherwise.

Chen Zhixing now can use spiritual power to create cars, planes, and ships, even making the Internet isn't impossible.

Under such miraculous power as Spiritual Power, doing these isn't difficult!!!

Furthermore, similar replacements and similar technology reserves exist within the Three Sacred Lands, they can be popularized anytime there's a need.

But.

Why popularize? What benefits would popularization bring? What would be the corresponding disadvantages and how is the gain and loss? Would it touch many people's interests? Would these vested interests fight hard against you?

The most important thing is whether the Longevity True Monarchs at the longest top levels will want this kind of change. Even if they wish for a bit of novelty, when development exceeds their expectations and makes them uncomfortable, do these new things still have a basis to exist?

The answer is clear.

So, the East Profound Realm won't change.

Unless not changing means death, until the day where a must-have transformation arises, that'll be the day when an overwhelming, complete, bloody transformation emerges from top to bottom.

As for what immense force is necessary to drive such change, and what cost the Celestial Profound Realm would pay for such a transformation?

The answer was once given by Shi Hao in a previous life.

Sweeping across the domain.

Invincible in this era.

Slaying until none dare claim supremacy between heaven and earth!

Single-handedly overwhelming the Five Great States.

Destroying forty-six noble families.

Holy Land mourns in lament!
