Chapter 216: Probably a Fool

In the world of Martial Dao, inheritance is a matter as grave as life and death.

It is akin to the prevalent maxim in the secular world: of all the unfilial acts, failing to produce descendants is the worst. This holds true for the Sects and Branches, regardless of alignment—neither good nor evil factions can afford any negligence in the continuation of their lineage.

Yet, the stronger an individual in this world is, the harder it becomes for them to have offspring. It's as if by some cruel twist of fate, they are being punished by the heavens. As a result, those mighty beings, sparse in kin or entirely without heirs, often turn to the mortal realm to select disciples with exceptional innate bones to pass on their mantle.
