After spending nearly half a day gathering information in the tavern, Fang Ping learned quite a bit about the Forbidden Zone. The Forbidden Zone had four great Royal Courts. The Demon Race had the Guardian Royal Court and the Myriad Demons Royal Court, while there were also the Heavenly Plant Royal Court and the Heavenly Fate Royal Court.
Below the Royal Courts, the Forbidden Zone had thirty-six imperial dynasties. Only those with a True King overseeing them qualified as imperial dynasties. On the same level as imperial dynasties were the Divine Sects.
There were countless sects in the Forbidden Zone. Divine Sects were likewise overseen by True Kings. Within the Heavenly Plant Royal Court, there were eight Divine Sect branches and twelve major affiliated imperial dynasties. Within the Royal Court stood the True King Hall, which housed forty-nine True Kings. Divine Sects and imperial dynasties were founded by True Kings. Some other True Kings cultivated in seclusion, while others explored the Earth Cave. The True King Hall did not concern itself with mundane affairs.
The Royal Courts were governed by Royal Lords and commanded countless cities.
Within a Royal Court, there was only one imperial city: Heavenly Plant City. Below the imperial city came royal cities. Every royal city lord was a Divine General-level powerhouse, and only cities with populations exceeding ten million qualified as true royal cities!
The Royal Court commanded three hundred and sixty royal cities—
After receiving this information, Fang Ping gained a rough understanding of the Forbidden Zone's hierarchy of power. The True King Hall stood high above all else and ignored worldly matters. Below it was the imperial city, which commanded the other royal cities. That was just one Royal Court, yet it had forty-nine True Kings and over three or four hundred Rank Nines.
