Ji Yichuan looked at his wife “Snow, Ji Ning’s strength can be considered at the absolute top for all below the Zifu Disciple level The S Mountain region is unable to contain him any further”

Snow nodded as well She understood what her

“Huh?” Ji Ning looked at his parents, somewhat puzzled

Yichuan said, “Ji Ning, you should know about the six great powers here at S Mountain”

“I know” Ning nodded “S Mountain has six local hegemons They are our Ji clan, the Riverbank clan, the Kou clan, the Blackfire Cult, the Ironwood clan, and Snowdragon Mountain Of the six hegemons, our Ji clan, the Riverbank clan, the Kou clan, and the Blackfire Cult are allies, while the Ironwood clan and the Snowdragon Mountain are allied!”

The six emons of S Mountain were arrayed into two alliances, and the battles between the

Yichuan continued, “But are you aware of the reason as to why the alliance between the Ironwood clan and Snowdragon Mountain is capable of forcing us other four hegeether?”

“I a shook his head

These secrets were not recorded in any books

“The six great powers are all guarded by Zifu Disciples” Yichuan looked at his son “Your power is ainst anyone below the Zifu Disciple level In a few more years, you will most likely becos now!”

“That Ironwood clan is not worth !” Yichuan said seriously, his eyes filled with a on Mountain is a truly for In our S Mountain region, Snowdragon Mountain is on Mountain Sect”

“A branch?” Ning was stunned

Of the six hegeon Mountain was the on Mountain was merely a branch?

Yichuan looked at his son and said soleon Mountain Sect is thousands of tion Mountain Branch, and thousands of tireater than our Ji clan! This is a colossal, top-tier clan which is not inferior than your mother’s Yuchi clan!”

Yuchi Snow looked at her son as well “The [Windwing Evasion] includes the history of my Yuchi clan My Yuchi clan is an extree clan Clans like the Ji clan…are completely incomparable to the likes of my Yuchi clan But of course, that was all in the past

————————

Ning, hearing his parents speak of these things, instantly had a desire to learn on Mountain, and those legendary, distant top-tier clans They were all so far away from S Mountain

“Ning, do you kno large the Grand Xia Dynasty is, exactly?” Snow looked at her son

“I do not” Ning shook his head

The Grand Xia Dynasty had been founded in the FiendGod Era, and had destroyed other ancient dynasties to unify this vast world It had existed for trillions of years! The books which described the territory of the Grand Xia Dynasty all used the same word: Boundless!

How enormous would such a dynasty be? How deep would its roots be?

“When the Grand Xia Dynasty unified the world, it divided the world into 3600 coned 800 Marquises!” Snow said slowly “Because the world is simply too vast, even Iovern it Thus, they divided it into 3600 coe ones and small ones, but even the smallest are extremely vast”

“S Mountain is under the governance of the Stillwater Commandery, which is the territory ruled over by the Marquis of Stillwater” Snow said “The commandery city of Stillwater is nearly a million kilometers away from us”

“The commandery city of Stillwater? A ine how in that distant, distant region, there was an inco city In that place, I this entire enorion

Snow continued, “The commandery city of Stillwater is the seat of power for the entire Stillwater Commandery, a place where Immortals and Fiends reside However, Stillwater Commandery is siions within it like our S Mountain…thus, some of the most top tier clans, schools, and sects are all scattered throughout the area!”

“As large as that?” Ning held his breath

“As the saying goes, the heavens are high and the ruler is far away With the world divided into 3600 commanderies, the power of those Marquises in the territory they rule is absolutely hed “The imperial city of the Grand Xia Dynasty is simply too far away In history, there have even been some Marquises who rebelled Those wars truly are here Ihter each other and countless experts fall Truly terrifying”

Ning nodded

The flaw of having an enor it Even the high and overn his vast territory, and so he allowed the various tribes to slaughter and battle each other

“After some of the Marquises revolted, the Grand Xia Dynasty, so as to better govern the various regions, began to frantically build one commandery city after another in the various commanderies, and even S Mountain has over ten of these cole city has a‘official writ’!”

“Official writ?” Ning listened carefully
