For the True Yang Sect, the Liangjiang Region and parts of central Zhongzhou were what Shang'an Prefecture was to Qianmu Temple—their own private domain.
From afar, True Yang Mountain looked like the spine of the earth, as if it propped up the heavens over Zhongzhou. Its highest peak was impossible to observe, as it was perennially shrouded in a thick, gray-black fog, similar to the summit of an active volcano.
The main body of the mountain range stretched all the way to the Northwest, so even from where Wang Ping stood in the Liangjiang Region, he could not see its end. The range itself was a fiery red expanse, constantly maintaining a high temperature. At the foot of the mountains, the Fire Candle Trees absorbed the majority of this heat from the ground.
