At first, the elders in the sect looked down on the "new method" as a shortcut, a lesser way, unworthy of their attention.
But as some disciples began to secretly practice it, their progress sped up dramatically.
Instances of disciples surpassing their masters in cultivation in an incredibly short time started to occur.
Thus, the situation began to change.
Witnessing the surge in the cultivation level of their disciples, the elders of the Great Taoist Sect began to feel uneasy.
Although the present Great Taoist Sect still values hierarchies and seniority,
the eternal law of the Immortal Cultivation World - the law of the jungle, is difficult to change.
In the past, the elders retained their control over the sect's power through their own cultivation and status.
But they are not yet old, and yet their own cultivation levels are being caught up and even surpassed by their disciples.
Seeing their ruling position being challenged, how could they remain indifferent?
