The number was astonishing, and among them, there were not many strong figures at the Late Stage Heavenly Monarch. Such individuals were mostly searching for famous mountains and rivers or in secluded cultivation, aiming to become a Heavenly Emperor.
Don't be fooled by the one-character difference between a Heavenly Monarch and a Heavenly Emperor, it's just a single realm apart.

Heavenly Emperor powerhouses are the true power holders of a sect, the absolute core figures.
As long as the taboo beings do not appear, their status within the sect is the highest, unshakable by anyone.
In the sect, they are the absolute rulers.
Heavenly Monarchs, on the other hand, are different; some are core members, but others are quite marginalized.
