According to the information provided, Fan Xian's final strength had reached the peak of the ninth-level. However, there was no indication that he had become a Great Grandmaster, so Fan Xian did not become a Great Grandmaster in the end.

In the end, Fan Xian did not become a Great Grandmaster. Even though his martial arts realm had surpassed the upper ninth-grade and reached Hong Siyang's realm, he was still far from being a great grandmaster. In Joy of Life, the grandmaster was the most powerful master in the world. Only four people could reach this level. Although Fan Xian had wisdom and rich resources that far exceeded this era, he ultimately failed to reach the Great Grandmaster realm. Thus, Fan Xian did not become a Great Grandmaster.

Fan Xian did not become a Great Grandmaster in Joy of Life. Even though his martial arts realm had surpassed the upper ninth-level and was acknowledged by the Qing Emperor to have reached Hong Siyang's realm, he was still far from being a Great Grandmaster. A great grandmaster was the most powerful expert in the world. Only four people had reached this realm. In his one-on-one battle with the Qing Emperor, despite using all his methods, Fan Xian was unable to touch the Qing Emperor and was ultimately defeated by him. Fan Xian did not become a Great Grandmaster at the end of the novel because he had too many things on his mind. He could not ask questions without distracting thoughts. This was one of the requirements to become a Great Grandmaster. Thus, although Fan Xian was a ninth-level ace, he had not become a Great Grandmaster.
The reason Fan Xian did not become a Great Grandmaster in the end was because his dream was not to become a Great Grandmaster, but to live a comfortable and happy life. Although his martial arts realm had surpassed the ninth-grade, there was still a huge gap between him and the realm of a great grandmaster. In the novel " Joy of Life," Fan Xian had a chance to become a Great Grandmaster, but because of all kinds of fetters and personal emotional entanglements, he missed this opportunity. Fan Xian's heart was filled with too many things, including family grudges, emotional disputes, and so on. The Great Grandmaster needed to ask with no distracting thoughts. In addition, Fan Xian's talent and training methods were not very compatible with becoming a Great Grandmaster. Although he had practiced the top martial art, Tyrannical True Qi, his talent was not the best. Moreover, his cultivation method was different from that of the Great Grandmasters. Thus, even though Fan Xian was a ninth-level ace, he did not become a Great Grandmaster.

In the end, Fan Xian did not become a Great Grandmaster. Although he had the chance to advance to the martial grandmaster realm, he was unable to pursue it wholeheartedly because he carried too many emotions and responsibilities in his heart. Fan Xian's dream was not to become a Great Grandmaster, but to live a comfortable and happy life. A great grandmaster needed to have a fanatical pursuit of martial arts, possess super talent, and work hard. Fan Xian's talent was not outstanding, and he had been drawn into the disputes of the martial world and the court. It was only when he discovered the truth of Ye Qingmei's death that he decided to take revenge. Although Fan Xian had trained hard in martial arts, the Great Grandmaster was not something that could be achieved through hard work alone. The Four Great Grandmasters were all extraordinary existences. Thus, Fan Xian did not become a Great Grandmaster in the end.

Yes, it was. At the end of the novel Joy of Life, Fan Xian became a Great Grandmaster. Grandmaster was the highest realm of martial arts in the novel. There were four grandmasters in the novel: - [Ku He: Teacher of Beiqi Kingdom. He met Ye Qingmei in the desert when he was searching for the temple with Xiao En. He obtained the secret manual given by Ye Qingmei and became a Great Grandmaster after cultivating it.] - [Sigu Jian: Protector of Dongyi. His swordsmanship is fierce. With Ye Qingmei's help, he became a Great Grandmaster.] - Ye Liuyun, the owner of the Sword Hut. He was a swordsman. He later combined swordsmanship and Qinggong to become a Great Grandmaster. - The Qing Emperor, Fan Xian's father, became a Great Grandmaster with Ye Qingmei's help.
As for whether Fan Xian has reached the Great Grandmaster level, I can't give a definite answer. In the novel " Celebrating Years," Fan Xian was a transmigrator. His soul came from the modern world. His martial arts in the novel did not reach the level of a Great Grandmaster. However, in the TV series " Celebrating Years," Fan Xian became a Great Grandmaster at the end. It should be noted that the plot and ending of the novel and the TV series may be different. It is recommended that you follow the original novel.
According to reference 2, in the original work, Fan Xian did not advance to the Great Grandmaster level. In the drama version, the author made some changes to the original work, changing Fan Xian to the only Great Grandmaster. At the end of the second season, Fan Xian recovered his zhenqi because of Ye Liuyun's sword. After talking to Ye Liuyun, Fan Xian expressed that the Great Grandmaster was also a human. He asked the Shadow beside him if the two of them could successfully advance to the Great Grandmaster. The Shadow replied that he could, but he needed to recover his zhenqi first. This meant that Fan Xian's zhenqi had recovered, and his strength should have also recovered to the ninth-level. In the story that followed, Fan Xian would definitely learn Tianyi Dao's heart technique to perfect his Tyrannical zhenqi, so it was very likely that Fan Xian had already advanced to the Great Grandmaster level, or was about to advance to the Great Grandmaster level.
