For instance, if Demon Cultivators discovered a cultivation treasure ground, their skills involved exploiting it exhaustively, leaving nothing behind. If they found a Spirit Vein, they would directly devour it to rapidly increase their cultivation. Should they discover Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Rare Divine Ores, Ancient Spirit Beasts, or the like—then apologies, but everything in their wake would be left in complete disarray.
To Righteous Cultivators, the thought that the Nine Provinces could be destroyed in this manner was dire, as they feared it would not endure for long. They treated the gifts from the lands of the Nine Provinces with greater harmony. Although they acquired fewer resources this way, future generations could benefit, creating a virtuous cycle.
Following the great changes in heaven and earth, this initial philosophy of cultivation naturally led to the conflict between the Righteous Path and the Demon Path.
