For the likes of Chi Yu Zi, belonging to the elites of their generation, the strength hierarchy among their peers had generally been established.
Apart from Yu Hua, the strongest in the world was none other than the Three Pure Daoist, followed closely by the top three in each of the three rankings who all had their dissenters, then came the top six, top ten, top twenty.
The division of strength was presented in a tiered system, it wasn't as if being higher by one rank guaranteed strength; everyone was exceptionally gifted, mastering top Magic Skills and possessing a dharma form, all with equal foundational depth.
Under these circumstances, what was compared more was the rate of cultivation, as well as the strength and weakness of cultivators from different schools at different stages. The former had a larger influence and had already become the specific division of the elites into tiers.
