In the nineteen countries of the Eastern Wilderness, the Divine Wood Sect had taken control over the territories of four countries after splitting from the Five Elements Sect.
Although these four countries were originally under the influence of the Five Elements Sect, many cultivator clans still maintained ties with the Five Elements Sect, given that it had been less than a hundred years since the separation. Thus, while the Divine Wood Sect was nominally seen as the ruling sect over these four countries, their control was not absolute.
In Jian Country, there was a Foundation Establishment clan named Yuan.
The founder of the Yuan clan, a cultivator named Yuan Hongyuan, initially had no Significant affiliation. However, thanks to his exceptional talent and deep set of opportunities, he managed to pass the threshold of life and death without a Foundation Building Pill and succeeded in foundation establishment a hundred years ago.
