Typically, a thousand-year-old family clan is divided into the Nei Clan and the outer sect. The outer sect is located in the secular world, expanding territories, while the Nei Clan resides within the resource-rich ancestral land, quietly cultivating. It is where the true foundation of a millennium-old family lies. Even if the family declines or offends a formidable enemy, they can retreat into their ancestral land to recuperate and reproduce, emerging back into the world after some years.
The ancestral land of the Shi Family is the Stubborn Stone Mountain. Although it hasn't reached the level of a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, it is still a spiritual place transformed and occupied by the ancestors of the Shi Family's Martial Saint.
