Then what about Mountain Heng? Aside from pioneering the inheritance of female cultivators and courting loose cultivators, what substantive measures do they have that could change their overall strength?
Li Fan's current estimate, he fears, made it very difficult. The incident he had just come across, with Mountain Heng disciples stealing things and trading with the Divine Teachings, was probably not isolated. Mountain Heng's alliance with the Divine Teachings and the Eight Immortal Army's cavalry was certainly not just for the so-called 'ambition of unifying the world.'
More importantly, Mountain Heng urgently needed to trade with the Divine Teachings Immortal Palace, to obtain various scarce cultivation resources. If they did not join hands with these former adversaries to exchange what was needed, it would definitely be hard to sustain the scale of such an ancient sect with their current financial and physical resources.
