The situation in the mayfly world was indeed quite special. There were many sects here, but they couldn't be called sects at all. Instead of calling them sects, it was more appropriate to call them research institutes. Here, one's status was not only determined by one's strength, but also by one's practical experience. One would indeed be respected by some people. However, if one made a certain contribution in puppetry, one would be more respected than those who were stronger.
If a cultivator made a certain breakthrough in puppetry, then he could establish his own sect. Those who wanted to learn puppetry would have to join his sect. Even some experts would join his sect and become his disciples. It was the same if they were stronger than him.
