Surpassing the "Witch" is also unlikely, as it is one of the nine oldest Tangkou.
But could they at least rank just behind those two Tangkou, firmly holding the third in Mingjiang Prefecture?
For now, it looks rather challenging, but if there were a Great Buddha supporting the "Divine Stealer" Tangkou from behind, the situation would be different.
The standing of the Great Buddha is even slightly higher than that of Gods and Alien Ghosts, but the Great Buddha does not establish Tangkou or carry on any direct inheritance.
Should a Tangkou have the Great Buddha as its backing, it would ascend instantly, and its position would advance securely.
"The position of a Tangkou concerns interests—huge interests."
With a higher position, the Tangkou could grasp more "order," which, from a secular perspective, translates into having more territory and bigger business.
This also forms a positive feedback loop.
More territory and bigger business mean more disciples in the Tangkou.
