To be ranked among the top 500 on the Hidden Dragon List, one had to be at least at the Early Soul Condensing Realm.
These people were generally either the true disciples of major Holy Lands or some highly skilled loose cultivators, meticulously nurtured and honed like precious jades.
Such individuals usually possessed high-grade Immortal Techniques and secret techniques, capable of defeating enemies from higher realms. Ordinary monks in the Mid-Stage Soul Condensing Realm would be swiftly swept aside by them.
With Chu Zheng being in the Early Entry Dao Realm, ranking among the top 500 meant that he possessed the strength to defeat enemies from significantly higher realms.
This was something unprecedented.
Soul Condensing Realm would already qualify one as a Great Cultivator, with a Divine Soul formed. Their capabilities were not comparable to that of an Entry Dao Realm cultivator; moving against the current in such a manner was exceedingly unbelievable.
