If one were to describe Liangzhou Province with an idiom, it would be "surrounded by mountains, with interlocking ridges and peaks, deep valleys and high mountains," and within lay a great river, like a belt, with perilous barriers throughout.
Even when Great Zhou had established its dynasty, clearing mountains and fragmenting rocks to create several official roads and plank roads, the paths leading to Liangzhou remained difficult to traverse.
Moreover, with the Great Venerable establishing his teachings in the Wushan of Liangzhou and declaring that any demon, ghost, and monster that chanted his name could join his ranks, it led to an abundance of devil cultivators, ghost cultivators, and demon cultivators in Liangzhou. Even the rarest Monster Clan cultivators made frequent appearances—so one can imagine the state of affairs in Liangzhou.
Yong and Liangzhou were the two most unsettled regions in Great Zhou.
