There are no mortals in the immortal realm, and therefore no mortal kingdoms, though villages and small towns do exist, inhabited by small groups of immortals.
Sects are the best sanctuaries for immortals, yet many choose to pursue freedom, refusing to join any sect. These individuals are known as rogue immortals. Rogue cultivators need a cultivation environment, a place of sanctuary, and a way to trade pills and cultivation resources. What are those who leave the sects to do?
Neutral factions like the Xiaoyao Pavilion are the best choice. They do not restrict anyone's freedom; as long as you have money, they provide sanctuary and resources. There is a saying: money makes the ghost push the mill. With money, one can hire powerful experts, carve out territory, and expand one's sphere of influence.
