Even Nascent Soul Major Sects could not avoid periods when they lacked a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Take the Holy Lotus Sect, for example. During their darkest period, they went nearly a thousand years without a Nascent Soul True Monarch presiding over them.
By relying on their Tier Four Array, legacy Spiritual Treasure, and Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast, the Holy Lotus Sect was still able to dominate the Liang Country and avoid falling into ruin.
However, it was far more difficult to maintain their previous glorious state, where their every call was answered and no sect in the Liang Country dared to disobey.
Besides, a sect with a ten-thousand-year history like the Holy Lotus Sect was bound to have enemies of the same caliber.
They would strike when you were down. A Nascent Soul Major Sect without a True Monarch was like a piece of fresh meat in the wilderness, circled by a pack of hungry wolves.
