    Looking for any good cultivation novels where two more more nations, groups, or races with different values are in conflict.

    For example. One side has sects who don't promote cultivation to the general public, only teaching their members. And spreading their techniques could even be a crime.
    The other side is more modern and share all, or most of their teachings to the citizens. Basically it's very easy for a normal person to embark on the path of martial arts and cultivation.

    Another example is humans or different races practice Qi/Ki/Chi or whatever, but they have their own systems or paths of martial artist and are in conflict due to one or all sides believing their path is superior and disdain all other forms of cultivation.

    You missed your chance to change conflict into problem and then you can find out who is the real reader for all works in China.

    Warhammer 40k... Nah, it is Cultivation 40K, they do tackle the issue of "weak should fear strong" vs "strong should defend the weak" philosophy.

    Like I mentioned, it’s the central premise of the piece, and there’s a confrontation between two or more sides in pretty much all arcs
    1st arc: humans vs demons. Imo this is the worst arc, since at the start the MC is basically just a hot blooded MC with a lucky break, and some memories of Earth
    2nd arc: a new seperate civilisation of humans elsewhere in space, with a separation between cultivators and their descendant who left the planet before a disaster and those ‘mortals’ left behind. (There’s more to the situation in the past and present)
    3rd arc: humans vs demons V2-what actually are demons, and humans for that matter? Explores differences/similarities and in-universe origins, by going to visit the demons
    4th arc: visit an isolated ancient cultivation world in space that just so happens to send signals in space. On the surface it’s a pretty simple case of rebelling forces against an incumbent dynasty
    5th arc: return to homeland, now merged with multiple other worlds in a larger nation. There’s a conflict of interest between ‘old’ worlds the MC brought together with his ‘diplomacy’ (lol), and the newer and poorer worlds that joined in the century+ since (space travel takes time, even while in cryptic freeze). But wait, invaders are at the door, from a hyperexpansionist fascist human regime, that arose from the ashes of the former intergalactic human space empire
    6th: infiltrate said fascist empire, and get involved in conflict centred around ‘revolutionaries’ and incumbent aristocracy. Mainly done to stymie the fascist nation, hide news of the home nation, and buy time while home nation develops. But eventually involve doing something to change this nation that effectively enslaved most of its populace for the better
    7th: infiltrate the major enemy of the fascist nation, which has something to do with an ancient civilisation
    8th: explore the ‘true’ origins of humanity, and what happened to previous civilisations
    9th: ‘Earth’ arc
    Wow, that’s a wall of text. I’ve basically outlined the entire damn novel.
