As the ancients said: when one attains enlightenment, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
But in the actual cultivation realm, by the time you truly attain enlightenment, those who follow you, either have changed countless times or themselves have the potential to ascend, able to keep pace with your cultivation progress!
Take the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators at the top of the cultivation realm as an example, for a cultivator to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage, even those with an innate spirit body, it inevitably takes four to five hundred years.
By the time that person cultivates to the Nascent Soul Stage and is able to support clan members, disciples, and old friends, how many related to him can still be alive? And those who live to that time, would they be mediocrities?
Impossible!
