The major sects could ignore the mortals living in the Mortal World.
The simple saying, "Immortals and mortals walk different paths," was enough to soothe their consciences.
What's more… most Cultivators simply didn't care what happened in the Mortal World.
Du Youqian would bet that at least two-thirds of Cultivators didn't even know that a massive plague, the likes of which hadn't been seen in millennia, had appeared in the Mortal World.
But the Blessed Lands—those were the very foundation of the Major Sects.
Most of the new blood recruited by each Sect came from the Blessed Lands.
This was because the mortals in the Blessed Lands were mostly descendants of Cultivators.
Plus, with the abundance of Spiritual Qi in the Blessed Lands, the mortals there were healthier, and the probability of their descendants developing Spirit Roots was far higher than in the Mortal World outside.
