The competition for the position of the region's representative occurred once every hundred years, and it was not certain that these individuals would come forward in the next one. If they broke through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, they naturally would not concern themselves with taking disciples anymore; and if they failed to achieve the Divine Transformation, after one or two more cycles their lifespans would also come to an end.
As for the concern that newcomers might be given a hard time, Chu Ning was clear in his mind about that; a sect would not go so far as to target an individual disciple. If their talent was lacking, at most they would just be left to fend for themselves.
