The Devourer (1)

The Qing Empire was a desolate area of the main world, and it didn't have access to purer, dense Qi due to the Hollow Mountains.

Not to mention, because of such an enormous barrier between them and the outside world, they also had fewer resources, which ultimately resulted in a low ceiling for cultivation.
