Li Tianming turned back and saw that Yu Ziqian was referring to the "White Dragon Emperor."
"The Seven Dragon Emperors' status is considered sixth rank, I suppose—a level above even my master and the sect leader."
"In Xuanyuan Dragon Sect, cultivators over a hundred years old are divided into six status ranks. The Seven Dragon Emperors are all at the highest rank."
"There are at least close to a hundred cultivators in Xuanyuan Dragon Sect with fifth-rank status."
