Qiu Wuji did not know that Chu Ge had arranged for the top Orthodox and Demonic cultivators to ascend one after another. She had thought Chu Tiange would be the second to ascend.
Being the second to ascend might not signify anything, but it carried considerable prestige in the eyes of the world. Even the stories and fame passed down in the mortal world would rise a notch.
