This is why, although Loose Immortals are well-known in the Cultivation World, they rarely make an appearance.
Yu Hong and the others didn't quite understand these rules, so they were somewhat puzzled by the actions of the old Ancestor from Guslope.
Others might not understand, but Wu Yazhi did. The reason he didn't kill to establish his power was exactly this principle. When Loose Immortals clash with Cultivators, they are naturally at a disadvantage.
