It doesn't sound like a big deal.
But in reality, it's extremely terrifying.
The Spirit Land of the Bright Mirror Sect is created by those martial artists who die within the Mountain Gate, or their core Spirit Land is reclaimed by the sect and cultivated anew after their death.
And those martial artists who die outside have their Fate Patterns dissolved and redistributed by the Heavenly Dao.
This requires sects to settle in one place to grow, but individual martial artists must venture out to cultivate their Fate Patterns. This contradiction of staying and going is a severe issue all sects face.
Many sects weaken beyond recovery due to disciples perishing during trials or True Lords falling in wars, with most resources seized by others.
