Background & History
The Fang Family is a longevity clan whose inheritance spans tens of thousands of years. It was among the families that founded the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, giving it exceptional standing within the organization. 512 537
Its ancestral territory is Fangcun Mountain, a blessed land allegedly left behind by an ancient immortal. At the mountain’s foot, the family constructed Four Directions City, a vast settlement capable of housing several million people. 711
