Jing Province, Imperial Capital.
Since the upheaval of heaven and earth, the Great Xia Dynasty had lost substantial control over vast swathes of land, leaving only three provinces.
And Jing Province, with its incomplete Mortal Path Array, was the core hinterland of the Great Xia Dynasty, as well as its greatest reliance to maintain rule.
The Female Emperor, Xia Yunqiu, stationed within the Imperial Capital, leveraging the Mortal Emperor position to govern the fate of humanity, could activate the incomplete Mortal Path Array enveloping Jing Province, powerful enough to suppress all cultivators below the Void Refining Stage.
This was once considered an insurmountable moat, even for ambitious great powers facing the Jing Province Array, retreat was the only choice.
However, as the world of the Primal Chaos Realm further revived, now capable of accommodating Void Refining powerful experts in the present world, the incomplete Mortal Path Array had become virtually ineffective.
