Immortal Dao inheritance.
This was the foundation upon which any Immortal Dao sect or Immortal Cultivation Family could endure.
Some ordinary Immortal Cultivation Families did not possess a complete Immortal Dao inheritance at all.
A so-called complete Immortal Dao inheritance was an entire cultivation system.
From the Qi Refining Realm all the way to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, every realm had dedicated cultivation techniques to support it.
It was like a complete method for solving a problem.
If even one step in the middle was missing, the final answer could not be reached.

Take the Longyuan Imperial Family, for another example.
They appeared to dominate an entire region, ruling over thousands of miles of territory.
Yet they likewise lacked a complete cultivation inheritance.
In the eyes of a Longevity Aristocratic Family like the Fang Family, the Longyuan Imperial Family was merely a local tyrant, utterly unworthy of comparison with the Fang Family.

Sects and families without complete Immortal Dao inheritances would never have any chance of surpassing them.
