Such situations are actually not particularly uncommon.
In some Great Teachings, they have their own inheritances, and if a person has excellent cultivation talent, for example, if their Great Teaching is the Fire Sect and the person has a top-notch flame body, then she would have ample resources, receive significant attention, and even have a True Immortal Realm master guiding her all the way. Thus, she could also have the potential to become a True Immortal Realm.
However, flames are passionate and fiery. If a cultivator's personality is extremely cold and aloof, even if he achieves True Immortal status, he won't be able to fully exert his power in battle.
Actually, a different cultivation path might suit him better, but that Great Teaching lacks such an inheritance, so they can only pass on their own teachings.
Thus, such situations are not rare.
The current Hall Master Guang Yao is facing such a situation.
