Which of the four True Sages present here hasn't lived for several thousand years?
They were very clear that the difficulty of developing the Insect World really exceeded their initial expectations.
First of all, this world was large enough that it might not be fully explored even in a thousand years. No matter what kind of power you were, an oversized territory was always a headache; to achieve effective administration, you needed an enormous population to fill it.
The population of the Tianqin World was not small, but the bad news was that the rules of this world were extremely unfriendly to Cultivators; they couldn't absorb Spiritual Energy in the usual ways. So Cultivators who came here were only here to explore and hunt for treasure, and there was no way they could reside long-term.
More importantly, this side of the world also had overlord-level forces present, forces capable of standing on equal footing with Tianqin Cultivators.
