After all, across the entire Lingxi State, there are sixteen dynasties in total, and even accounting for the Southern Wilderness Forest, the number of Golden Core Cultivators is still less than one hundred.
This doesn't include the Dubhe Institute itself, which already houses over ten Golden Core Cultivators.
Nascent Soul True Monarchs are even rarer and each one is extremely precious, akin to a rare phoenix feather or a qilin's horn. The fall of even one would cause ripples across various regions, representing a significant loss to Lingxi State.
One could say that every cultivator above the Crystallization stage can be considered a powerhouse within Lingxi State.
While the Dubhe Institute keeps track of their numbers, they also work to win them over, aligning them with their camp. This ensures that in times of crisis, when resources are stretched thin, these powerhouses can be called upon for assistance.
