White Mountain was not a peaceful place. Over the past two decades, the backbones of a few unlucky sects and Cultivation Clans had died during expeditions or in duels, whether due to accidents or their own greed.
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator was the pillar supporting a Cultivation Clan. Once they died, it was impossible to stop outsiders from coveting the clan's territory. As a result, over the past two decades, territorial boundaries had been in constant flux.
The territories originally designated during the Great Zhou Academy's enfeoffment had already undergone some minor adjustments. This was a natural evolution that the Far East Alliance was powerless to prevent. In fact, in recent years, the Dongming Sect's territory and influence had expanded the fastest; their domain was already a fifth larger than when it was first established.
