Divine Infant Cultivators could not make a move, thus the situation changed drastically.
Most notably, the number of Soul Condensation Realm Cultivators began to increase.
To strengthen the control of the sects, some Soul Condensation Realm Elders who had been in seclusion were released by their sects to patrol the world.
The Divine Infants were described as powerful precisely because they possessed a destructive power far beyond that of the Soul Condensation Realm Cultivators.
Some sects, which have lasted for thousands of years, depended on one or two Divine Infant Cultivators within their ranks.
For instance, Qionglou, the current overlord of Giant Marsh, had a significant influence in the region precisely because of a late-stage Divine Infant Supreme Elder within its main lineage.
The edict from the Holy Land now essentially nullified Qionglou's biggest trump card.
