Some Golden Core True Men, particularly those who were reclusive or lived in remote areas, would gradually become indifferent, short-tempered, ruthless, or debaucherous over the long years. They would come to see mortals and even Low-tier Cultivators as nothing more than livestock or weeds.
By comparison, such situations were less common in places like the Eastern Domain, where Golden Core Cultivators were more numerous.
Furthermore, rumors claimed it was extremely difficult for a Golden Core Cultivator to have children with a Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
One Golden Core True Man was said to have kept several hundred concubines, spending his days and nights in debauchery.
Yet in three hundred years, he only managed to sire a few dozen children.
To put that in perspective, a mortal or Qi Refining family could have expanded to several thousand, or even tens of thousands, of clan members in that same three-hundred-year span.
