The cultivators under the heavens each had their circles. This was true when Shenxu Heaven was still called Jiawu Realm, and it remained so among the cultivators of the Land of the Four Pillars.
Speaking solely of the spiritual domain of the South Gate Pillar, there were five top powers, not only formidable in strength but also boasting a vast number of vassals.
And these five top powers and their vassals formed one such circle.
Within this circle, even if one did not know who the other person was, merely mentioning the power they belonged to would reveal their likely origins and background.
However, such circles were often closed loops; unless one joined that power or came from an extraordinary background, it was difficult to merge into them.
Yet, to join such a power, the first consideration was one's background.
The disciples of these powers could not avoid interacting with other cultivators, thus naturally forming other circles.
For example, Alchemy, Artifact Refining.
