Chapter 1952 Role Of Clans And Sects

Lin Mu thought over Head Elder Heng's words and realized that the method that the Chang'an Clan used was tried and tested.

'I suppose even in the Xiaofan World it was the same. Though the clans did not grow to this level, but I guess that was mostly due to the limitation of resources and lifespan.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

In an immortal world where the people could easily live for thousands of years, even with the most basic kind of cultivation talent and techniques meant that a clan had a longer time to grow. More of their members would live and continue to reproduce, thereby increasing the power of a clan or family.

Of course, this also meant that the strain on resources would be higher. But it also provided a more stable and consistent method of growing the power. After all, the power of many often triumphed the power of a single human.

'And in the long term, a clan with many members has a collectively higher chance of producing an extremely talented individual that can become the backbone for them all, taking them to a new height.' Lin Mu felt a different kind of enlightenment today.

It was an enlightenment on the existence of cultivation clan. This was something very obvious, but until someone thought about it in depth, it would evade them. Most simply took their existence for granted and didn't think much about them.

But once thought about it further, they would realize the deep potential that was hidden behind the simple and mundane existence of a clan. An existence so common, that it was seen almost everywhere in the universe.

And as Lin Mu thought further about this topic, he understood more about the cultivation sects too.

'They are similar to the Cultivation clans where they aim to gain strength through numbers, but the sects focus more on nurturing talented individual regardless of where they come from. One doesn't have to belong to the same clan to join them, as such, there can be higher chances of talented people joining.

Of course, this also means that they have lesser need to have loyalty. Blood runs deep and the loyalty to ones clan comes naturally to most.' Lin Mu pondered deeply.

He silently thought about it and Head Elder Heng didn't disturb him either. The old man continued to sip on the Pixie leaf tea and enjoyed it.

He also glanced at Lin Mu from time to time, appropriating the thoughtfulness of the youth.

"Indeed. I'll be cultivating there." Lin Mu nodded his head.

"Well, if you need a place to cultivate, I'm sure we can accommodate you here in the Serene Glass Valley." Head Elder Heng offered.

"I'm grateful for the offer, but I have a specific reason as to why I am going to the Evergreen Pillars Forest." Lin Mu replied. "I am going there to cultivate a specific kind of cultivation technique along with practicing a couple of skills that are too destructive to be used here." He added.

"Hmm... is that so." Head Elder Heng wondered what kind of technique it might be that Lin Mu needed to practice it in the Evergreen Pillars Forest away from all others.

But he didn't question him further. After all, things like cultivation techniques were often very personal, and it was best not to ask about them unless one knew it was acceptable.

Since it was a new technique that Lin Mu was going to be cultivating, Head Elder Heng did not think it would be right.

"Very well. If you need anything, know that you are always welcome to come to the Serene Glass Valley." The Head Elder stated.

"I'll keep that in mind, Head Elder." Lin Mu said. "I think I'll head out in a couple days." He gave an estimate.

"We should enjoy our time till then." Head Elder chuckled. "And don't leave before meeting me, I'll have few things for you." He added.

"Alright." Lin Mu didn't know what the Head Elder wanted to give him, but reckoned they might be some gifts.

With that said, Lin Mu left for the library of the Shuijing Clan and went scouring for anything that he might have missed. While he had already consolidated a lot of information from the library, there was always a chance something might have been missed by it.

As such, Lin Mu wanted to do some final checks before he left.
