Joining the Wind and Thunder Pavilion

Thunder Venerable's meaning was very clear.

He simply wanted to alter the nature of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

At present, all cultivation factions on the Dou Qi Continent could be divided into three types based on their organizational models. There might be differences in the details, but broadly speaking, they all fell under these three categories.

The first type was clan-based.

The Xiao Family of Wutan City, the Nalan Family of Gama City.

The Han Clan of the Central Plains, the Cao Family of the Central Plains.

The eight families represented by the Eight Great Ancient Clans.

Of course, there were only seven now. Although the Xiao Family had not been completely wiped out, it definitely could not return to the ranks of the Eight Great Ancient Clans anytime soon. By the standard that the Eight Great Ancient Clans generally had at least two Dou Sheng overseeing them, the Xiao Family did not qualify, so there could only be seven.

In short, this was the first type.

Within such factions, "bloodline" was the bond.

If the scope were expanded further, then bluntly speaking, the Void Ancient Dragon Clan was also a clan-based cultivation faction, because the same dragon blood flowed through all of them. It was merely because of the dragons' inherently... troublesome nature that quite a few Dragon Blood Breed magical beasts possessed the Void Ancient Dragon Clan's bloodline but were not acknowledged by the clan. That was why the scope had to be broadened for them to qualify.

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

The Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

They were actually based on the same principle as the Void Ancient Dragon Clan.

The second type was sect-based.

The Yun Lan Sect of the Gama Empire.

The Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect of the Chu Yun Empire.

The Blood
