Qianling Mountain
Tianlan Star was a High-Level Cultivation Star in the Tianlan Star Domain. It was rich in resources and demonic beasts, and its trade flourished.
The Qu family was unquestionably powerful on Tianlan Star. A single stomp of their foot could make the entire star tremble three times.

It was nothing strange for the Qu family's old ancestor to celebrate his birthday with a banquet and invite relatives by marriage and friends. Naturally, allied forces would send representatives. But after word spread that Shi Yue would attend the Qu family's old ancestor's birthday celebration, things changed.
The forces that received invitations from the Qu family sent Void Refining Cultivators to lead their groups, bringing along their promising juniors to pave the way for them.
Those who hadn't received invitations tried every way to curry favor with the Qu family, hoping to attend the old ancestor's birthday banquet. Some even showed up uninvited. During this period, large numbers of high-level cultivators hurried to the Tianlan Mountain Range from all over, just for a chance to see Shi Yue at the Qu family's birthday celebration.
Some hoped to discuss cooperation with Shi Yue, some wanted to befriend him,
