At that time, the Sunfire Heavenly Spirit Emperor ranked rather low among all the Heavenly Spirit Emperors. However, after the Tianyang Spirit King's bloodline mutated and he became the Emperor, his strength indeed surpassed all his peers, making him the most top-tier existence.
After becoming the Emperor, the Tianyang Spirit King had always hoped to cultivate another inheritor of the Tianyang Flower bloodline from his maternal race, but he had never succeeded. This, however, did not affect his care for his maternal race. Thus, the Sunflower Spirit Clan was one of the most powerful races in the entire Rihchen Empire. Anyone sent by the Sunflower Spirit Clan to participate in the Ancestral Court Elite Competition was undoubtedly among the best of their clan. It would not be an exaggeration to call them seed players.
