"Our predecessors established the discussions and sword trials to unite disciples, to consolidate their hearts and strength, and to improve their cultivation and Taoist skills!"
"But now, what has it become?"
"What discussions, what sword trials? They've degenerated into a means of comparisons and profiteering!"
"Noble Clans, to make noise for their so-called 'Pride of Heaven', engage in deceit, empty displays, and grand posturing..."
"Even Sects add fuel to the flames, allowing the effort of one to be touted as the achievement of all!"
"If this continues, the disciples taught will all be selfish, arrogant, and look down on others!"
"They may have cultivation, but they lack the Taoist Heart!"
"And the Cultivators from other, less prominent Noble Clans? They will become nothing more than the Noble Clans' Hawk Dogs, the claws and teeth of the powerful!"
"Is this considered proper transmission of the Taoist Way?"
