Great Li, Heaven Pillar Mountain, Dan Yang Peak.
At the foot of the mountain were several manors. Their Manor Masters were all Core Formation True Men, famous far and wide, who received Cultivators from all over drawn by their reputation.
Dan Yang Peak is part of the Five Phoenix Sword Sect's Outer Mountain, and its past Manor Masters were all once True Disciples of the Sword Sect.
The Five Phoenix Sword Sect followed an elite path and did not recklessly expand its ranks. Even True Disciples, if they failed to reach Core Formation within the stipulated time, had to leave the main mountain and fend for themselves.
Aside from a few Fundamental Great Methods, which were placed under Forbidden restrictions and could not be passed on, there were no other limitations.
Whether it was to propagate a Clan or create a new power, anything was permitted. In the Great Li, many minor and mid-sized Sects could trace their origins back to the Five Phoenix Sword Sect.
