On the Secular Continent, you can live a life without martial training. However, in the Immortal Realm Continent, without martial training, you will be eliminated in a mere three thousand years. Those with weak cultivation are executed, while those with strong cultivation are exiled to remote mining continents to become miners.
Although direct execution seems cruel, it has become a rule. Not only on the Open Heaven Continent but also on other continents of the Ninth Realm. The weak are destined to be eliminated, and only those who cultivate to the Immortal Position Realm can be considered as having passed through this elimination phase.
Due to this, many Loose Cultivators are discarded Martial Artists who fled to avoid execution. Someone like Ye Mo, who is without any background, can only find protection and acknowledgment by joining an academy.
