For the "Modern Heretics," the feelings that the Ancient Method Practitioners on Spirit Phoenix Island harbor are different.
Low Level cultivators always hold a mixed emotion of disdain and fear towards the heretics. These Low Level cultivators stay in the underground city as soon as they enter the Immortal Sect and have little chance of seeing sunlight without becoming a Golden Core; their impression of the heretics mostly comes from "senior recounts."
In the eyes of Low Level cultivators, Righteous Skill is the true path to Immortal Ascension, while the heretical path is a crooked way that cannot achieve immortality and longevity. As the saying goes, "Of all the spells and the three thousand Dao, only one question: can it achieve longevity?" To pursue everlasting life, it's better to keep a distance from those heretic cultivators.
