His modest words immediately drew praise from other martial artists.
Named Zuo Anxin, his status was about equivalent to Feng Wu from two hundred years ago, having already broken through the Heavenly Person Domain, no longer among the younger generation.
A power like the Nine Palaces, with a complete cultivation and promotion system for the younger generation and a focus on "roots," disciples like Zuo Anxin with pure lineage from the Nine Palaces have an easier path upward compared to the majority of peripheral martial artists and hold real power in their hands.
The Nine Palaces is too vast, incomparable to the Federation; even among Heavenly Human Martial Artists within, there's a distinction between real and nominal authority.
And for one like Zuo Anxin, with pure lineage, breaking through the Heavenly Human Boundary grants him great power.
True seats of power, like holes for carrots, are one less for every one taken.
