Chapter 1527: Chapters 1474-1475 Shen Xiao Taboo, Another Approach_2 Chapter 1527: Chapters 1474-1475 Shen Xiao Taboo, Another Approach_2 But plans could never keep up with changes; the situation changed too fast, and such a fierce storm this ti couldn’t be extended, and even he wasn’t confident he could erge unscathed.

Therefore, to prevent his offspring from being too ignorant and lacking the understanding of information that could lead to disaster, he decided it was better to inform the other party early.

“My son, listen carefully!” the cultivator’s eyes lit up, his heart filled with so anticipation.

You see, he had long wanted to know those things, but his father had always been unwilling to tell him, even though he had begged fervently.

“Let tell you one thing,” the Supre Strong said coldly. “The position of Sect Leader can be held by any supre strong from any background, but it must absolutely not be ascended to by strong ones like us, born of family powers.”

Not to ntion that his strength wasn’t enough to compete for the position, even if his power ensured he was qualified to compete, the final victor would be anyone but him.

His identity dood him from ever achieving ultimate victory, because he was part of a cultivator’s family, representing the family cultivators, whose strengthening would be feared.

“Why so? Isn’t our family doing very well now? We haven’t suffered the slightest suppression or containnt, so why are there such restrictions?” his son was puzzled.

As a mber of the family, his movents within the Shenxiao Sect had never been restricted, even if there were conflicts with disciples of other lineages, it never escalated to anything serious.

So he thought his father’s idea might be sowhat exaggerated, considering that the overall atmosphere in the Shenxiao Sect was very open-minded, with ancestral rules that created an environnt where background was irrelevant, where the capable rose and the diocre fell. Could there still be anyone who would defy the will of the Ancestral Master!

“This is an unspoken rule, but it’s well understood by many strong ones,” the Supre Strong said somberly.

Indeed, their family’s developnt within the Shenxiao Sect hadn’t faced any constraints, with the presence of the Ancestral Master, all disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, as long as they displayed their talents, could expect a relatively fair environnt and were not suppressed.

However, that was regarding individual cultivators within the Shenxiao Sect, as long as they were disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, they were not suppressed. But for those in power of the Shenxiao Sect, the cultivators of the Shenxiao Sect and family powers could not be considered on the sa level; they were entirely independent entities.

They didn’t constrain the cultivation and rise of these disciples, but that didn’t an they would allow the continued expansion of these family-inherited bloodline powers.

Although at this point in cultivation, whatever heritage they belonged to was actually unimportant.

But fundantally, the lineage within the Shenxiao Sect was one of master and disciple, and as family powers expanded, they naturally encroached upon the interests of other Shenxiao Sect disciples, inciting dissatisfaction among many strong ones who would then tacitly start to suppress them.

While this issue hovered only among the top layer of strong ones and hadn’t spread to the many strong ones at the bottom, it was nonetheless an intangible ceiling that constrained the rise of these family powers.

They could develop and expand, and family mbers with sufficient talents could access the resources they deserved, enabling fair competition.

But the many strong ones of the Shenxiao Sect would absolutely not allow the waste of resources; they couldn’t allow those without any qualifications or understanding, because of their family background, to recklessly squander resources, hoarding their own cultivation levels, especially when these should be used on other disciples of the Shenxiao Sect.

Cultivation certainly wasn’t just reliant on oneself but also depended on one’s background; if the family had powerful benefactors blessing their descendants, this was inherently not a problem.

However, these resources should co from external sources, belonging to oneself, not obtained through exploiting authority and power to encroach on the resources of fellow sect disciples.

The inheritance of family bloodlines was inherently a different path from disciple-to-master inheritance. Initially, they might coexist, but as the power of family inheritance grew stronger, it inevitably eroded the interests of other inheritances, sothing even the leaders of the families could not control.

As the main figures of family inheritance, they held the greatest authority within the family and garnered everyone’s support, but they were also equally bound by everyone, losing their freedom.

Thus, once soone took up that position, even if the Sect Leader initially resolved to do well, as ti passed, he would inevitably be more and more restricted and eroded.

No one could truly cut off all emotions and love, that was the thod of the Demonic Way, not the path of Cultivation for the Taoist School.

A person, forcefully elevated to the position of Sect Leader by many, who could then ruthlessly act against those who put him there, such decisive and ruthless character was not what the Shenxiao Sect needed in a Sect Leader.

Thus, when considering from any aspect, the power of family inheritance might exist within the Shenxiao Sect, but it was inappropriate for them to expand too much or cultivate a Sect Leader.

Such circumstances were not only disadvantageous for them but also greatly impacted the developnt of Shenxiao Sect. Thus, from the beginning, the top powerhouses of the Sect had a tacit agreent not to allow such an occurrence.

Therefore, family bloodline inheritance could happen, but it should not be too conspicuous. Once it stood out, it would inevitably be targeted and even suppressed – a net loss.

“So it is!” exclaid a Cultivator from the Spirit Realm Eightfold, acknowledging this hidden truth.

He even agreed with the reasoning, as from the standpoint of Shenxiao Sect, this explanation had no flaws. He could imagine that if he himself were in a position of power and authority, he might unconsciously consider his own people during the division of interests, a basic human instinct.

“So for this change in the Sect Leader position, we should just sit by and not get involved?” he asked reluctantly.

In the end, the leadership change in the Shenxiao Sect was a rare spectacle. Considering that the prior Shenxiao Head Teacher would inevitably certify as True Immortal and live for nurous years, a Cultivator of the eighth layer Spirit Realm like him, if not certifying as a True Immortal, might only witness this once. Missing it would truly be a pity.

“No matter, though we can’t be a part of the faction competing for the Sect Leader’s position, it doesn’t an we’ll miss this opportunity entirely. If planned properly, we can surely gain sufficient benefits.”

“Hm?”

“The struggle for the Imperial Throne among mortals involves many princes, and while all the civil and military officials can neither seize the Imperial Throne, they can still participate, backing the princes they favor, and gaining substantial rewards.”

Although they couldn’t join themselves, they could completely choose a strong contender likely to ascend to the Sect Leader’s position. Whether through cooperation or allegiance, as long as it brought them sufficient benefits, they didn’t mind at all.

Moreover, this would actually avoid many risks. As long as the person they supported was powerful enough, even if he failed to seize the position, there was no need to fear retribution and they could ensure their interests remained unhard.

Given the wide selection of candidates for the Sect Leader’s position, the competition was bound to be fierce. As long as they didn’t encounter those who overestimated their capabilities, those daring to participate in the competition were no weaklings.

“Then I wonder if Father has already considered suitable candidates?”

“I have a few potential candidates in mind, but ultimately, we need to see if they require our support. After all, even though it’s cooperation, it’s never decided unilaterally.”
