The vast expanse of Jianyang Prefecture seemed much smaller beneath the hoofs of the Immortal Chariot of the Land Temple.
A clean carriage, by the art of Shrinking Ground to Inches, quickly entered a narrow path heading towards the remote lush green mountains.
The White Cloud Cave's ability to occupy the treasured land between three prefectures itself indicated a noble status.
And the one who granted them such status had served in the Immortal Court as a seventh-rank Immortal Official.
Seventh-rank might not sound very high, but in reality, it denoted the position akin to a parent of the land, fundamentally different from Earth Spirits like the Land God.
Such Immortal Officials typically held some real power or could mobilize the life force of a region, unlike the Earth Spirit who only assisted court officials in managing local people.
When they played their roles well, forming alliances was natural, thereby increasing their influence.
