A single legend can surprise an Exalted One, making him take notice.
Four legends are enough to stir an Exalted One's heart, and he would accept them as personal disciples.

What kind of concept is that?
The gathered Exalted Ones had no clue.
They had never seen an ancient god who could contemplate and discover 21 legendary level god observation methods in a row.
21 of these contemplative techniques, theoretically, given sufficient resources and time, could create 21 Exalted Ones.
Of course, becoming an Exalted One is difficult, but it wouldn't be a problem to reach the third step of Heaven.
"God of Thunder, where is my brother-in-law? I'll go and bring him over now!"
"I don't have twenty supreme treasures, but I have twenty daughters. As long as they are truly in love with your apprentice, they can marry him!"
"God of Thunder, you didn't take him as your disciple before because you looked down on him. Now, he probably looks down on you."
