Immortal splendor in the chaotic Eastern Region; the great Dao's Qiankun beneath Jiuzhou skies.
Jiuzhou Great Thousand World, Cangzhou Continent.
Though all were lands of the Qiankun Dao Sect, Cangzhou, Mingzhou, and Yanzhou each differed.
Of them, Yanzhou had long been designated by the Qiankun Dao Sect as a battlefield. It had therefore been divided into five regions and furnished with numerous Daoist palaces, with the intent of turning all Yanzhou into a festering mire and delaying the Eastern Heaven Daoist Sect's advance.
Thus, Yanzhou contained many cultivation clans and sects, though their upper limit had been restricted to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Mingzhou, meanwhile, was where the Qiankun Dao Sect's mountain gate stood. Everything throughout Mingzhou lay under the Qiankun Dao Sect's control. There were no cultivation sects beyond the Qiankun Dao Sect itself, only cultivation clans established by its disciples.
As for Cangzhou, it had been intended as the Qiankun Dao Sect's great rear base, a place to stockpile talent and cultivate every kind of resource. In terms of prosperity, Cangzhou did not lag far behind Mingzhou.
The entirety of Cangzhou was not divided into regions, but into nations, prefectures, and commanderies. Every small nation oversaw one type of resource, every prefecture and commandery was responsible for one kind of production. As for Immortal Lord Wanxian, he sat high above the heavens, dividing the nations and maintaining their balance.
Yet the balanced situation that had barely endured until now could no longer be maintained.
Within Azure Kingdom of Cangzhou, cries of battle echoed ceaselessly through every prefecture and commandery. Dharma Boats dozens or even hundreds of miles long crisscrossed the skies, while all manner of spells and divine abilities intertwined, dyeing the firmament in dazzling colors.
At this moment, a chaotic battle was underway in Azure Stone Commandery
