Some people believe that the purpose of cultivating to a powerful realm is to enjoy freedom without constraints.
What they aim to do is to have the ability to level any displeasing matter and preserve their true nature.
Others think that no matter the stage of cultivation, it is necessary to pick sides.
With the right alliance, both cultivation resources and power can greatly increase.
Even sacrificing some freedom is of no consequence.
Both approaches have their pros and cons; they're merely two different methods of cultivation.
There's no right or wrong in this.
However... generally speaking, those who are free and powerful tend to disdain those who attach themselves to other forces.
This makes them feel that such a person is nothing but a lapdog...
Of course, it's a different story if it's the helmsman of a faction.
But the likes of the Purple Fire Domain God definitely don't fall into this category.
Therefore.
