First to Arrive, Yet No Gains

Jade Pool Blessed Land was the Eastern Tribe's headquarters, Dongfang Changfan's lair. Its history was quite ancient, having been managed for several thousand years.

This kind of blessed land differed greatly from ordinary blessed lands.

Ordinary blessed lands were Gu Immortals' immortal apertures, owned by a single person. Once a Gu Immortal's cultivation rose to Rank 8, their Immortal Aperture Blessed Land would ascend into a grotto-heaven.

But a blessed land like Jade Pool Blessed Land was not the exclusive possession of any one Gu Immortal. It had been formed when numerous Gu Immortals each cut away a portion of their own blessed lands, then pieced them together.

Blessed lands could devour one another to begin with. Back when Fang Yuan underwent tribulation on Ladder Mountain and encountered the Primeval Beast Muddy Marsh Crab, he had no choice but to cut away part of his blessed land. That portion was immediately seized by the demonic path Gu Immortals on Ladder Mountain and absorbed into their own blessed lands.

Devouring blessed lands required meeting exceedingly harsh conditions. Piecing blessed lands together, however, had comparatively low requirements.

Most Super Forces across the five regions had been formed this way, with their Gu Immortals contributing portions and piecing them together into a headquarters.

The Eastern Tribe's Jade Pool Blessed Land, the Murong Family's Yin-Yang Blessed Land, the Guan Family's Ten Desolations Blessed Land, and the Tie Clan's Iron Eagle Blessed Land were all like this.

Even Great Snow Mountain Blessed Land, the number one demonic path force in Northern Plains, was no exception.

The demonic path Gu Immortals contributed portions of their blessed lands, eventually piecing them into Great Snow Mountain Blessed Land before moving in. The snow mountain peak each occupied was the region they had contributed.
