The Hongde Blessed Land was Geng-rank, one of the ten Heavenly Stems—placing it in the lower-middle tier. Its Spiritual Energy and natural resources were hardly abundant, and the number of Cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer it could support was quite limited.
It couldn't compare to the top Four Class lands—Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding—which were suitable as domains for a Foundation Establishment True Master.
The Cultivators who had rushed to the Five Thunder Daoist Altar and managed to secure a spot were mostly local "High Merit" priests, responsible for governing millions of common people in the prefectural cities and Daoist offices.
The portly Daoist was named Qingfeng. He was the Master of Xuyun Temple, an expert in wind and thunder Daoist Skills with the ability to summon clouds, bring rain, and command ghosts and spirits.
He was considered one of the most powerful "Men of the Dao" in the Hongde Blessed Land.
