Chapter 13: Reminder, Social Death
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, as if entering winter.
In the Cultivation Realm, only one in a thousand has a Spirit Root, but among a hundred cultivators, only one can establish Foundation.
Even if one at the peak of Qi Cultivation takes a Foundation Establishment Pill, there’s only a thirty percent chance of becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Whenever a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is born in a clan, they must hold a grand banquet, celebrating and declaring their prestige.
Even in the Lu Family, Foundation Establishment Cultivators hold high positions and great authority.
But now, three Foundation Establishment Cultivators lay on the ground, turned into corpses.
In the conference hall, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, everyone inexplicably fearful and uneasy.
"Some people have broken the rules, I won’t say much more, go to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive your punishment." Lu Fuming said coldly, "In this world of chaos and rampant demons, for a Cultivator Clan to survive, unity comes first, followed by doing things with principles. Those who have contributed must not be denied reward, even if they are displeasing to the eye, they must be rewarded; those who have erred must be punished severely, even if they are one’s own son, if they must be killed, they shall be killed. Compassion cannot lead troops, righteousness cannot gain wealth, as a clan leader, the first rule is clear rewards and punishments, adhering to rules oneself. If one does not observe the rules, how can one expect others to?"
"If everyone fails to adhere to rules, the clan will inevitably descend into chaos, and in the face of external invasion, it will collapse instantly, everyone being slaughtered, reduced to Loose Cultivators."
"Life as a Loose Cultivator is tough, unable to eat well, wear warmly, and constantly hunted. Without the clan’s protection, even a Purple Mansion Cultivator wouldn’t last long. In the Cultivation Realm, to get along with others, one must uphold rules, rely on connections, and social networks. Those who don’t adhere to rules, their very bones have rotted away."
