The legend of a fish in the Northern Darkness had existed since ancient times.
The legend of a turtle in the North Sea seemed to be even older.
The Primordial World Chronicles compiled by Daoist Wende recorded the legend of the fish of Northern Darkness transforming into Kunpeng. Later, Ancestor Kunpeng became one of the Three Thousand Guests of Purple Cloud, listening to the Dao Ancestor preach at Purple Cloud Palace alongside Daoist Wende, Benevolent Virtue Daoist, and the others.
Afterward, the Demon Clan was founded. Its two great emperors established the Heavenly Court and ruled over all races, while Ancestor Kunpeng became the commander of the Heavenly Court's Northern Legion.
Later still, the two great emperors of the Demon Clan attained sainthood, and the current Heavenly Emperor took control of the Heavenly Court. Ancestor Kunpeng also took on the role of a righteous god of the Thunder Department.
Of course, nothing was written about how Ancestor Kunpeng joined forces with Minghe Ancestor to strike at those two brothers of the West, causing them to lose a strand of Grandmist Purple Qi.
To Ancestor Kunpeng and Minghe Ancestor, that might have been an achievement worth boasting about, but to the two Western Saints, it was hardly a glorious matter.
Saints needed to save face too. Wu Chu could not deny them even that much face.

This Black Tortoise had remained an obscure figure in the North Sea as well.
But because he had appeared so early, no one dared underestimate him.
