After the Crimson Flame Sect relocated in its entirety to Five Dragons Mountain, it retained the same arrangement it had at Jade Spring Mountain: two mountain gates, one inner and one outer!
The inner mountain gate lay within the Mountain River Domain of the Grotto-Heaven. Since the Grotto-Heaven was immensely vast, the Mountain River Domain, Jade Pool Domain, Demon Domain, Ancient Spring Domain, Myriad Swords Domain, Heart-Refining Domain, Ascension Sea Domain, and other such regions were enough to support low-level cultivators' cultivation and training. They were also sufficiently safe, so the vast majority of Body Tempering Realm disciples cultivated at the inner mountain gate.
Only after breaking through to the Qi Gathering Realm and gaining the ability to fly upon artifacts were they permitted to leave Azurecloud Grotto-Heaven and head to the outer mountain gate.
However, most Body Tempering Realm disciples might never break through to the Qi Gathering Realm in their entire lives. Like the countless ordinary mortals dwelling within the Grotto-Heaven, they would remain in the Blessed Land until they died of old age.
The outer mountain gate stood adjacent to the Blessed Land and was covered by a grand yin-yang five elements formation. It served as the Crimson Flame Sect's gateway for interacting with the outside world. Most disciples responsible for external trade, liaising with other mountain factions, overseeing mining laborers, gathering rare resources, and various other affairs chose to remain at the outer mountain gate.
When True Immortal Xuanyuan Song of the Xuanyuan Aristocratic Clan came to visit the Crimson Flame Sect, the Immortal Welcoming Hall received him at the outer mountain gate.
"Forgive me for keeping you waiting, Immortal!"
A faint flash of spiritual light appeared, and Shen Mo's figure emerged within the great hall. Smiling, he cupped his hands and bowed to Xuanyuan Song.
