At this point, the reasoning was clear.
The Righteous Path represented an order that fostered goodness, and its rites, laws, and rules were the means by which it safeguarded everyone's interests.
Anyone with sense ought to recognize the purpose of its existence.
The Righteous Path benefited the vast majority of people, and that was the greatest good.
Fang Qianyuan continued, "Most Aristocratic Clans originated with mighty experts. Each survived and developed by relying on the legacy of its ancestors, but they cannot advance at every moment. On the contrary, more often than not, they decline, regress, and are steadily weeded out."
"Although Aristocratic Clans appear to have Earth Rank Experts protecting them, there are no few ordinary Lineages without anyone at Earth Rank. Or this generation might have an Earth Rank expert, only for the next generation, or the one after that, to suffer a break in succession. Gaps between the old crop and the new are always inevitable."
"At such times, they must rely on marriage ties and alliances between households, as well as the arrangement by which they form the Righteous Path together with the great sects, to sustain their survival and development."
"These are the benefits the Righteous Path's system brings everyone. If competition followed nothing but the law of the strong devouring the weak, then the vast majority of the powers represented by our fellow cultivators here would have been destroyed long ago!"

The Dao Path of Demonized Warriors benefited a small number of Aristocratic Clans, but harmed the interests of the whole.
It could even plunge the entire world into an age
