Cultivation Online novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 - The Importance Of Having A Strong Backing

"You wish to learn more about the cultivation world, right? Well, the first thing you need to know about the cultivation world is its brutal and unforgiving nature." Long Yijun continued.

"There are many selfish and coldhearted Cultivators out there who are without reason and will do everything in their power to bully those weaker than themselves and try to destroy those above them if they get the chance."

"This is why it’s extremely important to have a powerful backer or an influential background, especially if you are talented, as they will be able to protect you to a certain extent, and the more powerful your backing the safer you’ll be in the cultivation world. This is another reason why many Cultivators aim for the most prestigious sects, as that will make them feel safer."

"If you don’t have a strong backing or come from a powerful family, other Cultivators will be able to bully you without needing to worry about the repercussions. If you have a powerful background, on the other hand, people will have to think twice before they want to mess with you."

"Do you now understand why it’s so important to have a backing and connections in the cultivation world? Cultivators... they can be heartless and selfish creatures that will do anything to achieve their own goals, even if they have to drag down others in order to do so."

’I see... The dragon also said the same thing, but it didn’t go into too much depth...’ Yuan thought to himself after hearing Long Yijun’s long explanation on why it was important for him to have a strong backing.

"I understand," Yuan nodded afterward.

Long Yijun continued to speak a moment later, "Now back to our situation. You have immense talent— talents that will make many, many Cultivators jealous, yet you do not come from a powerful family that can protect you, hence why it’s a problem."

"While the Dragon Essence Temple can protect you to a certain extent, and we will do everything in our power to protect you as long as you are a disciple here, there are no guarantees, as there are powerful factions and Cultivators out there in this vast world that even we cannot deal with."

"Therefore, I suggest hiding your real talent from the world until you have sufficient backings. Of course, that is not to say you shouldn’t show off your talents— just overdo it... like what you did during the third and final exam..."

Yuan nodded.

"Now onto the second matter... Elder Xuan, do you want to take over?" Long Yijun asked him. _{freёwebnovel.com}

Elder Xuan nodded before looking at Yuan and speaking, "You said that you came to the Dragon Essence Temple for experience, right? I have heard from my granddaughter about how you do not want to be restricted like normal disciples and wish to travel freely. Normally, only Core Disciples will have such luxury, but we will make it an exception for you since you are already at the Core Disciples’ level."
