True cultivators do not demand loyalty, filial piety, or love from others. The virtues of morality, rites, integrity, and shame are meant to refine oneself, not to hold others hostage.
Those who have seen the Dao can borrow momentum. Those who have attained the Dao can create momentum. With the great momentum on my side, everything and everyone naturally falls within the sphere of influence I have created, and, naturally, they are loyal, filial, and loving towards me.

He had been plotting for a hundred years, and now the Emei Sect could only seal its mountain and defend itself, not daring to leave easily.
