The Independent Thirteen People's Council:
The thirteen followers of the Legendary King Anlon Lie Feng were all powerful Crystal Bone Masters who helped him unify the Lansit Kingdom.
After the Kingdom was founded, the thirteen followers beca the independent Thirteen People's Council. In the original council, every mber held a status equal to that of the King. The King was only superior in position, holding a double vote, but did not rule over the council mbers. Due to their political and economic independence, the thirteen mbers each expressed their own unique views and philosophies rather than being vassals, sycophants, or subordinates to others. Hence, they were known as the 'independent thirteen'.
However, two hundred years later, the system of the independent Thirteen People's Council has changed drastically. New power dynamics have erged within it, and the families of the original thirteen followers of Anlon Lie Feng have also undergone major shifts in power.

Objective 2: Defeat or kill the Forbidden Realm Gatekeeper.
Objective 3: Uncover the mystery of Anlon Lie Feng's origin from two hundred years ago and the truth behind his seclusion."
Fang Zhen read through all the unlocked instance information without blinking, then reflexively stroked his chin.
'That's a lot of information to unlock.'
'So it's an instance with selectable factions.'
'It's hard to say how many factions are actually in the Land of Rest. I'm guessing it's either external forces plus the descendants of the Thirteen People's Council families, or it could be several factions that have split off from within the Thirteen People's Council itself.'
'The unlocked info didn't specify. I'll have to go in and investigate slowly.'
'Besides that, the boss, the Forbidden Realm Gatekeeper... from the looks of it, it probably has so strange abilities.'
'Being able to travel between the Netherworld and the Land of Rest... does that an it can summon so ghosts?'
However, he wasn't particularly worried.
When he was searching for this instance, he had filtered out ones with "bizarre" abilities, so he wasn't worried about being cursed to death by so Magical Artifact like the Nail-Head Seven-Inch Book.
'And since this world has things like Serene Specters, there are probably ways to deal with them.'
The third instance objective, the mystery of Anlon Lie Feng's origin and his seclusion, was also quite intriguing.
'Judging by the instance info, is there so hidden story here?'
Fang Zhen didn't dwell on it.
'There are too many points to understand. Thinking about it now is useless. I'll just have to enter the instance and figure things out as I go.'
Fang Zhen clicked to activate his peripherals, and a Light Gate instantly materialized in his living room.
He stood up and began to arm himself.
「Ten minutes later.」
Fang Zhen had finished putting on his full plate armor.
There's a saying that it takes twenty to thirty minutes to don a full suit of armor, and that dieval European Knights needed a wooden crane to be hoisted onto their horses.
The crane is a myth, and it doesn't take that long to put on full armor, especially since his "Feathered Iron Wall" was a suit of Alchemy Armor.
Once you're used to it, you can get it on in five minutes.
Fang Zhen was in full plate armor, carrying a longspear. He packed his other supplies, including a paraglider and other gear, into the Holy Garnt Box. After closing it, the Feather of the Light Spirit reduced the box's weight by eighty percent.
He was fully geared up, his longspear slung over his shoulder, and the Holy Garnt Box on his back.
Fully ard, Fang Zhen pushed his Jue Ying motorcycle into the Light Gate.
He stepped into the Light Gate.
Fang Zhen was eager to see for himself just what these Crystal Bones in the Crystal Bone Realm truly were.
