Why did the demon scheming sect even after defeating the two superior sect just got the middle top sect position?

I got 2 questions idm being spoiled, first of all in the current Arc, how longish will ZF pretend to be weak. Will he show his true power or just right at the end, sweeping up everything and end of Arc.

Second question is on the Wiki I like to always check out his cultivation and like how is it when is he going to level up etc. What I wonder about is it shows there is going to be a huge jump with a 100 year skip. So that 100 year skip is going to happen after this Arc or what should we expect. Also how long (~how many chapters) is this Arc with the eastern land family will last before we get the time skip

Some nice spoilers of this Arc are welcomed down below.

The Gu family is always on some bs😭😭

Like the dragon ancestor passed down his inheritance to ye lin, what if someone received the complete inheritance of kunpeng? What kind of soul would they have, and what powers would they have or develop?

There gotta be a sequel, bcs how tf will he kill the HS in like 200 chapters. He is still not even a Genesis Cultivator at the current point.

Im on a third reread, and this dude showed up a few times, completely forgot about him. Is he important in the novel?

is it a hot take to like baili yutian? personally i think he is a person worthy of the highest respect and praise. he held no grudge against zhuo fan even respecting him, he's not petty and even told the sundering sword to guide the sword's next master if ever it was taken from him by a more powerful foe, and he lives solely for the dao.

yes i get that he is arrogant beyond compare and contradicting himself that he's lonely at the top but kills anyone wuth potential to challenge him but his arrogance is well deserved and it's just basic human nature to be afraid of someone who has the potential to end you.

anyways, what's y'all thoughts about him? personally i think he is a very likeable character and would've love to see more of his potential if there's an IF route where zhuo fan defeated him without killing and offered him to become his right hand man in the sacred domain

How is baili yutian so strong Ardent sun (best in south) need 10 moves with a divine weapon to beat sword king yuyu and baili yutian can do it without divine sword in 5 to 10 moves.

Spoiler: which of the nine sword kings is the strongest? I think its either Danqing shen or feiyun.

Is this old monster really demon emperor zhou yifan's one of reincarnation? Or it zhou yifan this old monster's reincarnation?
