All xianxia, cultivator, etc. stories have 'heavenly dao' or '天道', as the 'rules of the world' or 'the will of the world', as some stupid rule of thumb because authors of this genre do not have any creativity, but if you look closely, this means that 天道 なびき, or Obey the Heavenly Dao, or Tendo Nabiki of Ranma 1/2, is actually the will of the world of all cultivators! That's why those authors are all greedy shits!
