Morning Prosperity Star Domain, Mount Jiuhua territory.
This place was called a mountain, but in truth, it was the core of a vast and boundless star domain.
Mount Jiuhua's Dao Lineage spanned five grand life planets.
On its ancestral planet, where its headquarters stood, the concentration of laws was so dense that ordinary life planets could hardly compare.
Not to mention breathing in and cultivating here—even mortals living in this place's secular world could prolong their lives and remain free of all illness!
Cultivators benefited even more.
Looking into the distance, Immortal Palaces and divine halls stood like a forest of swords, suspended amid cloud-veiled mountains and misty seas.
Rainbow bridges arched through the air, while traffic flowed in endless streams.
All manner of flying Magic Treasures passed constantly through the skies, and dedicated starports received and dispatched visiting starships!
It was a scene of flourishing prosperity!
Yet such a scale seemed only natural for Mount Jiuhua.
As the acknowledged strongest force across several surrounding star domains, it had more than one Melding Dao Realm venerable lord seated within its ranks.
With such a foundation, Mount Jiuhua naturally became the most desirable patron in the eyes of those second-rate factions struggling in the Dao Holder Realm.
However.
Just as there was no fairy in the world unaware of her own beauty.
Mount Jiuhua knew its own transcendent status perfectly well.
When accepting vassals, they were equally selective. Only factions with plenty of money, few troubles, and considerable potential could earn their favor.
Within the peril-ridden Chaos Star Sea, the allure of such a protective talisman was terrifyingly immense.
Some who had been driven into a corner even spent their entire fortunes merely for a chance to seek an audience, hoping to win their battered factions a single breath of respite.
