Qin Fengming was not very old, but he had experienced quite a lot and had already visited several realms.
Along the way, he had witnessed far too much blood and turmoil. He understood that for a sect to stand firm, immortal cultivation arts could establish it, but mere skill alone could not let it stand forever in the Three Realms immortal cultivation world.
In the Cultivation World, strength was revered.
For a sect to endure, it absolutely needed powerful cultivators stationed within it. No matter how many powerful external beings it relied on for deterrence, that would only be a superficial show of force and could never bring true peace of mind.
The Manghuang Sect was something Qin Fengming had poured his heart and blood into establishing.

These formations were very simple for Qin Fengming, because Crane Xuan had been cultivated in precisely this way
