"The rules over at the Mount of Tao have been in place for thousands of years. Who dares to change them?"
"Indeed... The ancestral rules cannot be changed."
"At least remove the Spiritual Ink from the miscellaneous items, then?"
"What nonsense are you talking? This Spiritual Ink was personally designated by the founder of Mount of Tao to be in the 'miscellaneous items.' The founder had his reasons for doing so."
"The founder of Mount of Tao is no ordinary ancestor."
"He not only included the Spiritual Ink, even if he put a pile of crap in there, it would have a profound meaning. You can't change that!"
"With so many elders present, shouldn't you speak more elegantly?"
"Harsh words indeed, but they are grounded in truth."
Someone nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed."
"The ancestral rules cannot be changed..."
"Besides, even if we wanted to change them now, it's a bit too late. The tournament has already reached this stage."
