Pursuing the Great Dao, is considered a lifelong goal for the Mystic Sect, but for us, Daoist Skills are merely tools to achieve our goals.
As for the Divine Lord, cultivation is purely for the sake of avenging the Immortal Palace. Even if he doesn't take this path, with his family heritage, he would still aim for the path of an Immortal Official, thinking of being conferred a rank of nobility and becoming a minister.
That is indeed the case.
Chen Xuantian also noticed that these foundational Primordial Spirit Methods of the Divine Sect are completely different from how the Mystic Sect guides disciples.
In the Mystic Sect's discourse on Dao, one must not only understand the 'what' but also the 'why'. The Qi Technique Sword Scripture is a large volume, difficult to start with, involving various formulas and derivations, making learning progressively harder. Even keeping up with the introductory level is difficult, and applying it in deadly sword fights feels like a trial.
