Along the way, listening to their explanations, Li Dai learned that the two youths were named Hanshan and Zuoyuan. Hanshan was the quiet boy, while Zuoyuan was the one who had been complaining the whole journey.
According to Zuoyuan, they had been guarding the Immortal-Greeting Terrace for quite some time, yet Li Dai was the very first ascender they had ever received. The area they belonged to was the Luofu Mountain cultivation post in the Tai'e Domain of Qixian Star, located in the remote Mangyun Immortal System of the Lower Immortal Realm.
As the most remote domain of Qixian Star—itself the most remote star in the already most remote Mangyun Immortal System—Tai'e Domain could be said to be the poorest place in the entire Lower Immortal Realm, utterly lacking in resources. And within Tai'e Domain, the weakest and most impoverished faction of all was Luofu Mountain, governed by the secluded Immortal Monarch Changyun. Because the Immortal Monarch had been in seclusion for far too long and there was no powerful immortal presiding over them, among the three major factions of Tai'e Domain, they were the most looked down upon and marginalized. Whenever they went out on experiential training and encountered people from the other two factions, they would invariably face ostracization or robbery.
