(Someone actually told me... writing books can easily get you killed... what kind of reaction am I supposed to have?...)
Royal Island City was mainly divided into two parts...
One was the urban area outside the Guardian Divine Tree's canopy, which made up roughly sixty percent of the city...
That was where the ordinary people and low-level cultivators of the Guardian Clan lived...
The other was the area beneath the Guardian Divine Tree's canopy, accounting for roughly forty percent of Royal Island City...
This was where the members of the Guardian Clan who carried out the mission passed down through generations and possessed a certain degree of power lived...
Using the Guardian Divine Tree's canopy as a dividing line, the Guardian Clan had erected a wall as high as a cliff within Royal Island City, serving as the true boundary between the two regions!
Outside the wall lay the urban district, while inside was where the true members of the Guardian Clan lived!
The Guardian Clan had explicit rules stating that only clan members qualified to carry out the mission could enter and live within the area covered by the Guardian Divine Tree's canopy...
Ordinary people and low-level cultivators without the qualifications to carry out the mission were forbidden from entering the area within the wall!
Clearly, the Guardian Clan's hierarchy was extremely strict, and the difference in status between its members was correspondingly vast!
Within the Guardian Clan, only those qualified to carry out the mission could call themselves members of the Guardian Clan...
Even if ordinary people and low-level cultivators had Guardian Clan blood flowing through their veins, no one regarded them as true members of the Guardian Clan...
