The gap between an Eighth-Rate Sect and a Ninth-Rate Sect is clearly visible, as seen by the Cold Cloud Sect.
After ascending to an Eighth-Rate Sect, the territory Cold Cloud Sect had occupied expanded several times over, and the resources received by all disciples also increased manyfold.
Put simply, they used to get one bottle of low-grade pills per month from Cold Cloud Sect, but now, they could get at least two or even three bottles.
Moreover, when Cold Cloud Sect was still a Ninth-Rate Sect, its disciples sometimes encountered disciples from other Ninth-Rate Sects. Those from other sects might pay them lip service, but it was just that.
When they met disciples from Eighth-Rate Sects, they wouldn't even glance at them, their noses turned up to the sky, completely disregarding them as if they were invisible.
