Notes -
I presume you overlooked the fact thatnot just anybody can even begin the tribulation to become a Venerable. Normally, it takes the support of Heaven's Will and Supreme Grandmaster status in a path. The latter is incredibly rare, remember there were only 3 SGs in Refinement path over 3 million years! The former is a deal-breaker for most, if Heaven/Fate doesn't want you to become a Venerable, you can cross as many Myriad Tribulations as you like without attaining it. If you do, then you keep becoming stronger due to Dao Marks, but even then it's not the same. I think it was some combination of the destruction of fate and the availability of Primordial Domain that let FY, who wasn't supposed to become a Venerable, still manage in the end. Also, the actual final tribulation involves battle against Chaos, which is so difficult that even actual Venerables struggle and survive by a thread each time. Even the normal Myriad Tribulation is shit hard even for the strongest Rank 8s!
At the point I'm at, I think the only thing that was mentioned was thatevery Venerable was a supreme grandmaster - not that it was a hard requirement to cross into the ninth rank, although in retrospect it would be a reasonable assumption. In particular, I saw the scene of Red Lotus immediately after ascending and I do not recall anything other than the tribulation being mentioned.
Oh dear, my bad, I had thought you had finished the novel entirely. I'm sorry about the spoilers, but they're not that big, and you raised a valid question about why we don't see more Venerables!
