The territory of the Tianxing Sect attracted many other Sects, with numerous powers vying for a piece. In the absence of any first-rate Sects, it became a free-for-all for the smaller Sects, all scrambling to occupy territory and fighting fiercely over resources.
As for Jia Ren's own ambitions?
Two Sects!
Four Sects!
Eight Sects!
Failure. Still failure!
Since when had Golden Core Cultivators become so worthless that not a single Sect dared to accept one to lead them? Jia Ren had approached several Sects on par with Luoyun Villa, but without exception, each attempt to become their Sect Master had ended in failure. Sects only accepted disciples and Guest Elders, not... Sect Masters. Historically, there had never been a case of a Sect recruiting a Sect Master. While Golden Core Cultivators were desirable, no one wanted an additional Supreme Emperor lording over their Sect, leaving its rise and fall to the mercy of an outsider.
