North of the desert.
It was said that the founder of the Pure Land Sect founded the White Lotus Cult. In the early days, it called on believers to worship their ancestors. It was a secret group of half-monks and half-celestials. Its doctrine was relatively simple, and its scriptures were easy to understand. The people of the lower class happily accepted it, so it was often used to organize people to resist oppression.
There were two forces in the world of the White Lotus Cult that were fighting with each other. They were called the light and dark sects.
Light represented kindness and truth, while dark represented sin and irrationality.
At first, this idea was good, but the White Lotus Cult called on the people to start a rebellion when the Great Zhou Dynasty was getting weaker.
After being suppressed, they had no choice but to leave the Central Plains. They accepted ignorant believers in the outer realms and continued to strengthen themselves.
