If one were to fly to an extreme height and look down, they would see an immensely vast planet! A great ocean divided the Canglan Continent into two landmasses: the East and West Continents! In terms of area, the Eastern Continent was much smaller than the Western Continent. If one were to travel by ship across the ocean between the continents, it would be impossible to reach the other side in under a year. As for attempting to fly across, it was feared that not even a Sword Saint would have the strength to make the journey in one go!
Therefore, the best way to cross to the west was by ship.
On the edge of the Eastern Continent lay a nation called the Great Zhou Kingdom. The kingdom was a long, narrow strip of land, like a jeweled belt inlaid along the coastline. Due to its abundant marine resources, the nation was exceptionally wealthy, attracting a great number of adventurers who came to seek their fortunes.
