Chapter 1478 Dire Situation

• Ever since the emergence of cultivators—those gifted with immense, unnatural powers—it had been clear that if they ever set foot into the world of ordinary people, their presence alone would shake society to its core.
• That's why the cultivation community had always followed an unspoken rule: they would stay in their realm, cultivate their strength in silence, and never interfere with the development of the outside world—nor reveal their powers in front of ordinary people.
• For centuries, this silent agreement had held firm, reinforced by the delicate balance of power between various factions. No single sect had enough control to challenge the consensus.
