Like all forms of cultivation, climbing in power or level was never easy. It only got harder. Green to yellow was the easiest. And if a person had reached blue or red, they were considered to be successful... But purple... Was on another league of power on its own.
After all, after purple was gold. It is said that not even those little gods of 'The Mountain' were of gold rank Gold rank was the qualification that pushed a person on the path of power in the realm of stars.
Meaning that one needed to have a gold realm soul for them to be able to enter the Star realm. And the closest thing to the Gold was purple.
Just seeing that Scholar Zobo had achieved such a realm brought praises from the audience all around. Even the guards and the priests all had an acknowledging look in their eyes. The reason for this was because high soul levels were respected everywhere in the world, but this city more than most.
