There are many strong individuals at the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Ranks, or even those at the peak of the Martial Venerable Realm. Disciples who reach these cultivation levels are generally regarded as Elite Disciples within their sects.
To speak of those who can break through the Martial Venerable Realm and ascend to the unfathomable Martial Monarch realm—such martial practitioners are as rare as precious gems, truly one in a million. Throughout this vast landscape of the martial arts world, any sect that possesses such extraordinary talent will treat them as their highest priority; they are either the Holy Children of the sect or highly respected, high-ranking elders.
The reason is simple: once a disciple is fortunate enough to be ranked among the Elite Disciples, the generous treatment they receive from their sect undergoes a complete transformation. An endless stream of rare cultivation resources and mysterious, powerful techniques are provided, making it hard to keep up. Beyond that, even rarer opportunities await these favored children of heaven. Among these, the most tempting is the chance to be entrusted with the significant responsibility of governing and controlling a prosperous city.
