Fusang Wood

The energy disturbance ahead might well be caused by the Fire Origin Essence he needed. Xuan Qing followed the source of the Energy Tide.

At last, one day, flames soaring into the sky illuminated the entire star. A colossal crimson tree stood within the fire, as though the flames had grown from the tree itself.

Dense Innate wood spiritual qi and fire spiritual qi rushed toward him. Having finally found his target, Xuan Qing wept tears of joy.

Fusang Wood, a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root. His Primordial Fire Source Essence was finally within reach, and the cultivation he had suppressed for countless years could at last break through.

Xuan Qing circled the Fusang Wood, examining it closely. Its Origin was far more abundant than that of the Innate Gui Water Spirit Apricot, and streams of Innate Fire Essence continuously emerged from it.

He had originally thought he could only absorb a few strands of Primordial Fire Source Essence, but now it seemed that absorbing dozens would be no problem and would not damage its Origin.

Yet such an abundant Origin could give birth to intelligence, with a Root Origin even greater than Hongjun's. No wonder Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Roots could not develop intelligence and take form; at most, they could produce Companion Spirits.

So being too heaven-defying was not permitted by the Great Dao!

After carefully examining the Fusang Wood, he found that its vitality was indeed abundant. However, because it was on the Solar Star, it could not develop intelligence. He could safely collect its Fire Origin Essence.

Xuan Qing used the Green Lotus of Creation to protect himself, then spent tens of thousands of years setting up a Guardian Formation to prevent others from entering and interrupting his cultivation, while also warding off the surging Energy Tide.

Xuan Qing took a strand of Primordial Fire Source Essence and began cultivating in seclusion.

Before long, the Five Qi within his body began to tremble. His Wood Qi started transforming into faint traces of pale-red Fire Qi. When the Primordial Fire Source Essence merged into the newly born Fire Qi, the red rapidly spread throughout it.

And so, an unknown number of years passed.

With a crack, countless streams of energy spread in every direction. Yet the moment the energy touched the Fusang Wood, it was directly absorbed, not causing the slightest ripple.

The Wood Qi within his body could finally smoothly transform into Fire Qi. Xuan Qing broke through to the Later Stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, then spent some more time stabilizing his cultivation.

After sensing the passage of time, he found that more than five hundred Kalpas had passed. However, since he had the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, should he take this opportunity to break through to the Peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal?

His realm was still only at the peak of Grand Unity. He had to make another breakthrough, reaching the utmost limit of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. His physical body also needed to improve, and the terrifying flames of the Solar Star were perfect for tempering it.

With that thought, Xuan Qing entered seclusion once more, using the Heaven and Earth Fruit Position to comprehend the Great Dao while using Solar True Fire to temper his physical body.

Because the Primordial Starry Sky brought immense Star Power, the Prehistoric Era also began to grow lively.

When Zu Long took form, he was accompanied by the Ancestor Dragon Pearl, a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with forty-eight Innate Restrictions. Now that he had also broken through to the perfected Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, he had become one of the foremost great powers of the Prehistoric Era.

Zu Long had nine claws, making him the noblest dragon of the Dragon Clan. His cultivation was also the highest, so he became the Dragon Clan's leader.

That day, at the Eye of the East Sea, countless members of the Dragon Clan gathered. Zu Long stood looking skyward, with Candle Dragon at his side.

Roar!

A world-shaking roar rang out, resounding across the entire Primordial Land. Countless living beings sensed that a powerful race had emerged in the Prehistoric Era.

"Heaven and Earth above, all beings of the Prehistoric Era, hear me. I, Zu Long—"

"I, Candle Dragon—"

"Today, we unite the Four Seas. All those belonging to dragons, as well as all Water Clan beings, shall be part of the Dragon Clan. The Four Seas of the Prehistoric Era shall be our clan territory. With the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Ancestor Dragon Pearl, we shall suppress our Auspicious Qi. Let Heaven and Earth bear witness."

Zu Long proclaimed this to the Prehistoric Era, announcing the establishment of the Dragon Clan. From then on, the Dragon Clan began its path of hegemony.

At the Immortal Volcano on the Southern Continent, Ancestor Phoenix and Ancestor Phoenix also took form as innate great powers. Because their Origin had divided into two, they formed as two beings: the female was Feng, and the male was Huang.

On the outskirts of Zhou Mountain in the center, Ancestor Kirin was likewise formed from an innate great power. The Origins and cultivations of the leaders of the Three Tribes were roughly equal, and the Kirin Clan had also produced kirin of several different attributes, such as Jin, Mu, and Shui.

The Companion Spiritual Treasure of Ancestor Phoenix and Ancestor Phoenix was the Southern Earth-Leaving Flame Light Banner, while Ancestor Kirin's Companion Spiritual Treasure was the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner. Both were Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures evolved from fragments of the Chaos Green Lotus.

Three hundred years after Zu Long announced the founding of his clan, a phoenix cry spread throughout the Prehistoric Era from the Immortal Volcano in the south.

"Heaven and Earth above, all beings of the Prehistoric Era, hear me. I, Ancestor Phoenix, and I, Ancestor Phoenix,

today establish the Phoenix Clan at the Immortal Volcano. All flying birds shall belong to the Phoenix Clan. The Southern Continent shall be our clan territory. With the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Southern Earth-Leaving Flame Light Banner, we shall suppress our Auspicious Qi. Let Heaven and Earth bear witness."

Just as the Phoenix Clan was established, another voice rang out.

"Heaven and Earth above, I, Ancestor Kirin—

Let Heaven and Earth bear witness."

From then on, the Three Tribes established themselves in the Four Seas, the Southern Continent, and the Central Continent respectively, beginning to gather the various races under their banners.

Although Ancestor Kirin established the Kirin Clan on the Central Continent, he did not dare occupy Zhou Mountain. Ever since Fire Kirin Ancestor's son had died there last time, Ancestor Kirin had kept the Kirin Clan under strict restraint.

Otherwise, they might one day provoke someone they should not provoke and be casually killed. Even now, Fire Kirin Ancestor was still in seclusion, licking his wounds.

On Azure Nether Island, Qing Ling and Qing Ya had already broken through to the perfected Golden Immortal realm. The Heavenly Horse Clan had also begun to thrive in the Dao Field, and as time passed, more than ten thousand Clan Members had been born.

With such an excellent cultivation environment, and with the Heavenly Horse Clan being naturally peace-loving and disliking conflict, they quickly adapted to life here.

Qing Ling had also become good friends with Bai Yu, and they often ran outside the Dao Field together to play.

After so many Kalpas, the surrounding islands had long become a blessed land, and their Innate Spiritual Qi had grown denser than that of the surrounding seas.

That day, Qing Ling and Bai Yu had once again slipped out to catch fish and shrimp.

Ever since Xuan Qing had taught them how to eat, Qing Ling had become completely uncontrollable. She was always trying all kinds of food, driving Qing Ya to distraction.

That day, a Flood Dragon discovered this place. However, he lacked the strength to hold it himself, so he had no choice but to report it to the Dragon Clan.

Before long, a group of dragons arrived at the island chain.

Upon seeing the vast blessed land before them, every dragon became excited.

"Elder, there is another great Formation ahead. I cannot get close to it. It must protect the best island here. If we occupy it, perhaps our Dragon Clan can truly soar."

The Flood Dragon's words deeply pleased the Dragon Clan Elder. The group of dragons flew straight toward Azure Nether Island, only to encounter the two girls catching seafood.

Seeing two Golden Immortals, the elder did not waste a word before launching a divine ability at them. Neither had ever faced such a situation. They had no time to defend themselves and could only watch helplessly as the attack came rushing toward them.

At that moment, another divine ability met the attack head-on. A beam of white light suddenly flew out from within the Formation and swept the two girls inside.

"The Dragon Clan is truly overbearing, attacking juniors without warning. You are bringing shame upon a great clan." The Heavenly Horse Patriarch glared angrily at the group of dragons.

"A mere Primordial Unity Golden Immortal dares occupy the territory of our Dragon Clan? You have occupied it long enough. It is time to return it to us."

Only Grand Luo Golden Immortals could serve as Dragon Clan Elders, and the one leading this group was a Mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal, a Great Divine Ability User.

Qing Ling had only just recovered from the shock of the attack. Hearing this, she immediately flew into a rage.

"We were born here. How did this become Dragon Clan territory? How shameless."

The Dragon Clan had only just been established, yet they were already so domineering. If this continued, how could anyone else survive in the future? Perhaps everyone would be killed. The Heavenly Horse Patriarch understood this as well.

With Xuan Qing absent and his clan settled here, he had to protect their Dao Field.

"The Four Seas belong to our Dragon Clan. If you persist in your delusion, we will kill every last one of you ants."

Having said that, the Dragon Clan Elder took out a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and blasted it toward the Formation.

"Miss Qing Ling, what should we do? The Dragon Clan has a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. How can we resist him?" The Heavenly Horse Patriarch paced about anxiously.

Before he could finish speaking, however, the Dragon Clan Elder's attack was like a pebble thrown into the sea, unable to stir even the slightest splash.

"Heavenly Horse Patriarch, look! That big loach's attack is useless. Master said that unless it is a Primordial Golden Immortal, no one should come knocking against this Guardian Formation."

Qing Ling smugly watched the dragons attack the Formation. She had nearly died just now, so she was determined to mock them properly. After speaking, she wildly stuck out her tongue at the group of dragons.

After attacking for a long time without any result, the dragons instantly understood that the Formation truly was not something they could break. They could only return to their clan and seek Zu Long. Surely Zu Long would not abandon such a place.

The Dragon Clan had only recently been established and had not yet built its authority in the Prehistoric Era. Since this matter had arisen at the perfect time, Zu Long led Candle Dragon and a group of Grand Luo Golden Immortals toward Azure Nether Island.

Just as Qing Ling and Bai Yu were preparing to report this matter to Qing Ya, they heard Zu Long's voice from outside.

"Little friends, several hundred years ago, the Dragon Clan announced that the Four Seas were Dragon Clan territory. The place where you are located happens to lie within our clan's territory. Why not leave? We guarantee that we will not harm you."

Zu Long still explained rather politely. After all, they were now a great clan and could not act rashly. Otherwise, how could they gather the entire Water Clan in the future? At this time, Zu Long still needed to establish the bearing of a supreme great power.
