The most common guess was that Fang Qingyuan had control of a Blessed Land Grotto Heaven. This would explain why the Qingyuan Sect had risen so quickly. No one considered an Immortal Mansion, because that would be simply too heaven-defying.
Blessed Land Grotto Heavens were various small pocket dimensions that had been transformed into cultivation grounds. They could be divided into five tiers based on their size.
The smallest were the size of a single cave residence, while the largest could rival an entire realm.
For example, back when Lechuan was still the master of the Southern Border Beast Taming Sect, there was a Black River Secret Mansion within the Black River. It was rumored to be the place where a Nascent Soul Cultivator named Daoist Guangwei had passed away four thousand years ago, and this Black River Secret Mansion was a typical small-scale Blessed Land Grotto Heaven.
