Until the very end, the Nine Yang Sect even directly ceased all resource support to the Yi Yang Faction.
And subsequently, the two powers gradually severed their ties.
The Yi Yang Faction eventually became a truly independent and autonomous Nascent Soul Sect.
And those Ancestor Yuanyings who governed the Yi Yang Faction
thus became figures of real significance, whose words carried immense weight.
The Yi Yang Faction,
although not as powerful as the Nine Yang Sect,
held to the idea that it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix – an idea that everyone harbors.
Moreover, for Nascent Soul cultivators, advancing further is extremely difficult.
In the face of a path to advancement that has already been cut off,
wanting to live a carefree life of one's own naturally makes sense.
As for the Nine Yang Sect, they would no longer continuously provide various resources to the Yi Yang Faction.
It could be said that they had shed a burden.
