In the Celestial Phoenix Order of the Jade Dominion, the focus of the economy was primarily in the upper town, where the wealthiest mbers of the celestial Phoenix Order resided.
Their assets and hos were scattered across separate lands, covering an expansive area of over 1,000,000 square miles.
This vast territory was filled with mountain ranges sitting atop the flattened mountain peaks, showcasing the extravagant estates of these affluent families.
The upper town was mostly surrounded by towering mountains, where families owned vast estates perched high above the cloud-covered peaks, granting them a view appearing as if immortal world.
The Celestial Phoenix Order is structured in a way that as you travel from the lower town to the upper town, the number of mountains and their height increases significantly.
This results in the upper town being surrounded by mountain ranges that divide various families and offer land for their estates.
Each of these families has their own independent state, each with a minimum area of 54,555 square miles.
Upper town, thanks to its strategic location, was ho to the most powerful and prestigious families within the entire Celestial Phoenix order, while the middle town housed families of slightly lesser influence. The lower town, on the other hand, was primarily occupied by families of lower status and strength, mostly poor individuals.
In the upper town, there were only 18 families that boasted rich histories and strength, standing out from all the others in the middle town.
This created a distinct hierarchy when it ca to producing heirs or individuals who could secure positions in the main city.
The main city served as the location of the grand palace of the celestial Phoenix order, situated atop the tallest mountain in the entire land.
In the Upper town, the hierarchy determined the Top 3 families among the 18 based on their influence in the main city, with so having elders or Core disciples affiliated with the Phoenix order themselves.
The higher the position a mber of these 18 families held in the main city, the higher those families were in the hierarchy.
The Wei family, ranked as the third strongest family among the 18 existing families, boasts 4 elders who hold the prestigious position of chief instructors in the main city. Their state is well-organized with a unique system, and their town is perched on the highest peak in the northern part, enveloped in clouds at a breathtaking altitude.
As the moonlight grazed through the clouds and fell on the mountain ranges, it bathed the whole town in a soothing glow, revealing nurous well-maintained traditional-style architectures constructed on wooden foundations.
These structures were adorned with intricate inscriptions of dragons and other symbols, reflecting the cultural preferences of the common people.
Mostly, the Wei family and other noble families belonging to the Upper Town operated a feudal system resembling their own mini-states with citizens and a governance system similar to but slightly different from the traditional Noble Estate.
Commoner was not a term that was used and the design favored a traditional wooden style. All the residents were cultivators who served the family and were used as soldiers when necessary, or else they were simply discarded to the middle town.
Inside one of the houses belonging to a mber of the Wei family, a sudden light flashed near the bed of a young man who appeared to have been in a half-dead state for several years.
"Haaah....Haaah...How this happened", Suddenly, the young man's body snapped forward as he realized that the connection established to escape inside a body in the lower town had just been severed, aning that the body was killed.
'No, what about Zhen'er', Liu Wei instantly tried to lift himself from the bed, but halfway through, his body fell to the floor due to his weakened state. This made him realize that he was back in his real body. "N-no."
A few years ago, when Liu Wei was just 16 years old, he discovered a unique ability within himself. It seed that his soul was actually a fragnt of soone else's body, leading him to realize that he was not truly himself, but perhaps part of soone else's life.
He also realized that there were seven other fragnts similar to him, all thanks to his master who inford him about this.
'Master, help , tell what happened with ?!', In a voice filled with urgency, he called out to his master. When he didn't receive a response, he cried out again,'Master! Please, this is urgent!'
(Shut up disciple, Don't call everytim—what happened to your body?) A sudden voice bood, which initially cautioned against summoning it frequently. However, upon noticing the changes in Liu Wei's body, it inquired about the reason behind these changes.
'Master, that's what I want to know. Thanks to your help, I was able to escape after being betrayed by that bitch but this?', Liu Wei rembered the day when, after being betrayed by his fiancée, he felt the need to seek revenge on her. This led him to take over the body of a young man from a lower town, but at the cost of rging all of that young man's mories with his own.
Technically, the young man's body was already dead due to poisoning. Taking over it, Liu Wei learned about the secret of that body's childhood friend who was blind.
Aware of her background, he portrayed himself as her childhood friend and, in doing so, developed feelings for her.
'No, my Zhen'er', Liu Wei couldn't believe that he was once again trapped in his own body, which was nothing but a wreck with disabilities. He had nothing except for a fiancée who was arrogant and manipulative, marrying him only to gain the status of being the third young mistress of the Wei family.
Even now, it is clear that his condition inside this room was dire. He was nothing but a puppet of a husband lying in a coma, while that woman must have been increasing her influence and strength.
He wanted to beco strong and assert himself in front of that woman, making her regret not choosing him, but everything fell apart.
( Calm down, disciple. Why didn't you call when you fought soone like a monster, like that guy?), The voice called out again when it saw an image of a strong black man with orange eyes wearing a mask in Liu Wei's mories, instantly realizing the man's imnse strength.
'Master, I wanted to protect Zhen'er myself', Gritting his teeth, Liu Wei lay on the floor in a kneeling position. He couldn't believe that everything had shattered in a mont without him realizing that he had been killed.
"Hmm, It's seems your luck saved you today once again, pfft"
Suddenly, a sultry voice echoed inside the room. Liu Wei, kneeling, turned his eyes towards the woman who had just arrived.
The moonlight revealed her milky white skin. She had a heart-shaped face, long black hair, large almond-shaped eyes, high cheekbones, full pink lips, a slender neck, and graceful shoulders.
Her body was lithe and perfectly proportioned, draped in a flowing gown that highlighted her willowy fra. Her curves were dangerously enticing, leaving Liu Wei breathless by just her presence.
"Yao Lian!" Liu's teeth clamped together the mont he realized that the woman was none other than his fiancée.
"Liu wei, even after being crippled, you're still as pathetic as ever, Fufu."
