Dew doesn't nourish grass without roots; the Dao does not ferry those without destiny.
Although today's Sub-Device Sect has changed significantly from seven thousand years ago, it still retains some traditions of the Taoist teachings.
Amid endless incense smoke and haze, a narrow path can be seen.
This path is called "Path of Self-Reflection."
In ancient times, disciples entering the Sub-Device Sect would traverse the Path of Self-Reflection to determine which outer branch they would join, primarily testing their heart and character.
The Sub-Device Sect of later generations, however, became completely different.
On the exposed green stone path, plant-like roots and stems are visible, occasionally writhing as if alive.
If carefully observed, you'd find they are metallic veins.
The Path of Self-Reflection resembles a twisted, deformed tongue, exuding an indescribable aura, clearly a part of the Mother Furnace.
