It's just my opinion, but I think it's quite likely that MC would still be able to reach the top of the world even without becoming a cultivator. The guy is literally the most talented from the start, even taking into account that Mortal Talent is the canonical one. Things like powerful Arts can be obtained over time and even created. Ruo would still be an invincible rival until the end, perhaps even worse, but he could still be beaten.
But of course, that's all. The strongest in a world of weaklings.
Just to be clear, I'm considering that in a scenario where MC isn't a cultivator, Ruo isn't a Dao child and the rogues don't have the support of an Immortal. And honestly, I think that was Nicky's original intention, but that's just theory.
