Apart from countries like the Great Zhou Kingdom, where powerful figures gather, in the majority of the Cultivation World, there's only one ruling entity.
Since the Dragon Transformation Sect's demise, Jingguo Country has had only one authority, which is the Moon Wheel Sect.
Although the Zhou Family currently appears to have surpassed the Moon Wheel Sect in surface strength, aspiring to be Jingguo's ruling power still requires overcoming many challenges.
Among them, gaining recognition from other local forces poses the biggest obstacle.
Since the Zhou Family has longstanding enmities with the Moon Wheel Sect and the Sunflame Sect, it is nearly impossible for these two forces to acknowledge them as Jingguo's ruling power.
If neither acknowledges them, then Zhou Chun would need to become a Great Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator to qualify for that position.
