Thousand Caves Door, then, had a thousand grottos and a thousand Cave Masters.
However, many of these grottos were significantly weaker than the peaks of Hundred Peaks Sect; otherwise, with such numbers alone, they would have already overpowered Hundred Peaks Sect tenfold.
Indeed, many within the Hundred Peaks Sect believed that the fundamental approach of Thousand Caves Door was deeply flawed.
True, both Hundred Peaks Sect and Thousand Caves Door were Mixed Clans, with sect members practicing various Zen, Taoist, Scholar, Sword cultivations...
Initiating a number of new peaks and grottos wasn't wrong.
The problem was, Thousand Caves Door established too many.
A thousand grottos—how could a single Sect possibly manage them all well?
And with so many grottos, the focus was simply too scattered.
The resources of a sect were finite; spread across so many grottos, how much could each one receive?
