In such a situation, blindly expanding the area of the sect's territory could inversely lower the concentration of spiritual energy within the sect, affecting the cultivation of the clan members.
Therefore, this method is fundamentally unfeasible.
Another solution would be to find another location rich in spiritual energy and establish a branch of the family clan there to divert some clan members, in order to reduce the burden on the main sect.
But this method is not so easy to implement either.
Almost all the places in Lanzhou with relatively dense spiritual energy have already been occupied, leaving no space for the Zhou Family to establish a branch.
If they were to repeat their old tricks and forcefully occupy territory, it would ruin the reputation they had painstakingly built over the decades.
Clearly, this isn't a worthwhile move either.
