On the one hand, the nascent soul patriarchs from upstream are proud of themselves for living upstream, where mana is abundant, and look down on the people of the Five Veins region, including the disciples of the Blood Skull sect, as backward people living in an impoverished corner of the world.
But, on the other hand, they are jealous of the disciples of the Blood Skull sect because the disciples of the Blood Skull sect are the true disciples of their lineage in possession of armaments and who have been carefully raised as opposed to them, the fake disciples of their lineage, who were accepted as disciples of the three ancestors without much screening and were raised without much care.
If the people from upstream are being honest with themselves, they feel inferior to the disciples of the Blood Skull sect because of the lack of armament and their weaker strength.
