Once, the largely circulated map of the Nine States was quite rudimentary, and contained many errors. People often relied on it to traverse the Nine States, inadvertently walking into deadly zones, losing their paths, and barely escaping with their lives. Traveling Monks in the Nine States, often relied not on maps, but on their cultivation skills.
A hundred years after ascending to the throne as the Human Emperor, Jiang Li decided to redraw the map of the Nine States. This should have been a good thing but it was obstructed by the Sky Mechanism Tower.
The reason was simple; the Sky Mechanism Tower held a detailed map of the Nine States, which they sold to monks in fragmented pieces at obscene prices.
There were once great powers who tried to redraw the map of the Nine States, but they were all thwarted by the Sky Mechanism Tower.
