In the past, Saint Awakenings were rare. Due to sectarianism, the limited knowledge of the times, and many other restrictions, most of them knew what they could do, but not how or why.
In the modern era, the Martial Dao declined with the advent of firearms. It was only with the resurgence of the Celestial Demon, which demonstrated terrifying individual power, that the strength of Saint Awakening was once again taken seriously. However, even now, nearly all of Donghua Country's Saint Awakenings are from the older generation. They inevitably bear the marks of their era, and their ways of thinking are somewhat rigid.
As for other scholars and experts, since they were not Saint Awakenings, they could not begin to comprehend the mysteries of the Saint Awakening Realm. Even Saint Awakenings themselves struggled to explain their condition, often resorting to abstruse and mystical terms, which has kept systematic research in this area progressing at a snail's pace.
