Additionally, there are slight differences between the positions of Hall Master and Peak Master. Above core disciples, the ranks are primarily Hall Masters. Yuan Chengshan was confirmed to have perished, leaving the Hall Master position in the Immortal Welcoming Hall vacant. This vacancy is to be filled by a core disciple. Typically, Yang Xuan's opinion would be sought to see if he was interested in the Hall Master position. If he refused, the offer would pass to the second-ranked core disciple, Jiang Lingfeng, then to the third-ranked Shen Mo, the fourth-ranked Yu Yan, and so on.
However, the position of Peak Master of a Main Peak can be pursued by both core disciples and Hall Masters. In this case, the choice isn't necessarily restricted to the top-ranking core disciple. A candidate's seniority, strength, reputation, Sect Merits, and achievements are all considered.
