Scarlet Peng Young Lord, Luwu Scheme

To the east of Jurong World lay a land of emerald green and jade radiance—the Hill of Foxes.

Thus, it was called Qingqiu.

Qingqiu had a sage known as the Eastern Splendor Honored Lord, bearing the venerable title of the Bewitching Heart Illusory Wheel Nine-Tailed Great Sage. He was the ancestor of the Yousu Clan, blessed with longevity and fortune, and in his day had been a Great Sage whose might shook the heavens and myriad worlds.

By now, this Nine-Tailed Great Sage rarely showed himself. He spent all year in secluded cultivation at First Hill, while Qingqiu's development was decided through deliberation between successive clan heads and the many clan elders.

The Yousu Clan's elders were usually Upper Three Realms cultivators of great virtue and prestige whose paths forward had been completely cut off. No longer needing to cultivate, they could devote themselves wholly to clan affairs.

The Upper Three Realms' immense lifespan ensured that the elders possessed sufficiently rich experience and worldly knowledge to handle all manner of matters, while their connections also allowed them to better assist the clan head.

These Yousu Clan Upper Three Realms cultivators, whose paths had been severed, had lost all desire for personal advancement. Their hearts held only the Yousu Clan's development and future. For the clan's prosperity, they had poured out their hearts' blood and bent themselves to the utmost.

As for every successive Yousu Clan head, none could hold the position without reaching the Great Vehicle realm.

A sacred land renowned across the heavens and myriad worlds needed a few figures worthy of its name: Great Vehicle cultivators to command the overall situation, Upper Three Realms cultivators to support it, and promising young talents with clear paths and futures, capable of carrying the sacred land's banner in the days ahead.
