Visiting someone to debate the Dao was an extremely rude act in the Divine Realm.
In plain terms, it meant [issuing a challenge at their door].
It meant using one's martial strength to overpower others.

"They don't know whether they're courting life or death!"
"Ah..." the patriarch said. "That won't do, that won't do... Seventeenth, for a lineage like ours, rooted in Celestial Phoenix City, we can't solve problems through violence alone!"
"We must also
