Primordial Three Clans

As Yuan Tian cultivated in tense concentration, the Primordial Continent was bustling with activity. Just moments ago, all living beings of the Primordial Wilderness had heard three vows conveyed by the Great Dao—vows made by the leaders of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes. "Let the Great Dao bear witness. I, Ancestral Dragon, hereby swear in the Eastern Sea: my Dragon Clan shall guard the peace of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness and govern the Four Seas. From this day forth, we shall be the foremost among all scaled and armored creatures of the Primordial Wilderness."

"Let the Great Dao bear witness. I, Phoenix Ancestor, hereby swear at the Southern Radiance Undying Volcano: my Phoenix Clan shall guard the peace of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness and stand watch over the Southern Radiance Undying Volcano. From this day forth, we shall be the foremost among all feathered creatures of the Primordial Wilderness."

"Let the Great Dao bear witness. I, Qilin Ancestor, hereby swear in the Central Land: my Qilin Clan shall guard the peace of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness and govern the Central Land. From this day forth, we shall be the foremost among all beasts of the Primordial Wilderness."

At this time, Hongjun had yet to undergo Dao Integration, so the Heavenly Dao remained hidden and the Great Dao governed temporarily. That was why the three clans swore their oaths to the Great Dao.

After more than three hundred kalpas and over forty million years of development, the Primordial World had seen its population of living beings steadily increase. Countless clans gradually emerged, and the Primordial Wilderness entered its glorious age of contention among the Hundred Clans. Of these hundred clans, six were the strongest: the Dragon Clan and Black Tortoise Clan, overlords of the seas; the Qilin Clan and White Tiger Clan, masters of the land; and the Phoenix Clan and Vermilion Bird Clan, supreme rulers of the skies. Not only were these six clans overwhelmingly powerful as a whole, but their individual members were formidable as well. They were the six strongest clans of sea, land, and sky.

Among the six clans, the Black Tortoise Clan, White Tiger Clan, and Vermilion Bird Clan had the fewest members. In terms of overall strength, they were weaker than the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes. Thus, the Black Tortoise Clan supported the Dragon Clan, granting it the qualifications to become the foremost among scaled and armored creatures; the White Tiger Clan supported the Qilin Clan, giving it the strength to become the foremost among beasts of the Primordial Wilderness; while the Vermilion Bird Clan supported the Phoenix Clan, allowing it to become one of the Primordial Three Clans capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan—the foremost among feathered creatures of the Primordial Wilderness.

Once the three clan leaders had finished their vows, the Great Dao bestowed boundless Merit as a reward, signifying its acceptance of their oaths. From then on, the three clans respectively became the supreme rulers of scaled and armored creatures, feathered creatures, and beasts, occupying more than half the Fortune of the Primordial Wilderness. After absorbing the Merit bestowed by the Great Dao, the fortune and strength of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes soared, giving them the true power to contend for supremacy over the Primordial Wilderness and making them the three strongest clans upon the Primordial Continent. After Ancestral Dragon, Phoenix Ancestor, and Qilin Ancestor absorbed their respective Merits, their cultivation leaped to the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm in one bound, placing all three among the foremost experts of the Primordial Wilderness. Of the three clans, the Dragon Clan was the strongest. Yet the Phoenix Clan and Qilin Clan, as two of the three great clans, were not far inferior to it. Thus began the prelude to the struggle for supremacy among the three clans.

Both the Dragon Clan and Black Tortoise Clan dwelled in the seas of the Primordial Wilderness and focused on cultivating their physical bodies, making their flesh incomparably powerful. The Dragon Clan was born with the divine ability to summon clouds and spread rain. Its leader, Ancestral Dragon, was an Innate Demon God who commanded the Dragon Clan and occupied the Fortune of the entire sea domain of the Primordial Wilderness, flourishing for a time.

The Phoenix Clan dwelled at the Undying Volcano in the southern heavens. Its leaders, Phoenix Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor, were also Innate Demon Gods and sovereigns of fire. The Qilin Clan dwelled in the center of the Primordial Continent, and its physical defenses surpassed even those of the Dragon Clan. Skilled in wielding Central Wu Earth, they were the beloved children of the land. Their leader, Qilin Ancestor, was likewise an Innate Demon God.

It was also said that Primordial Chaos had birthed not only the great god Pangu, but also three thousand Primordial Chaos Demon Gods. The Primordial Chaos Demon Gods were violent by nature, delighted in slaughter, and possessed powerful Chaos True Bodies. With a wave of their hands, they could destroy heaven and earth. When Pangu opened the heavens, he had also kept a card up his sleeve. Considering that the three thousand Primordial Chaos Demon Gods might destroy Pangu's Primordial World, Pangu slew the Primordial Chaos Demon Gods as he opened the heavens—thus, the opening of heaven itself became a calamity. The three thousand Primordial Chaos Demon Gods fell one after another. Only a small number saw through Pangu's intentions and decisively abandoned their powerful Chaos True Bodies, reincarnating into the Primordial Wilderness and attaining the bodies of Innate Demon Gods. In the end, they narrowly escaped with their lives. Among them were the leaders of the three clans: Ancestral Dragon, Phoenix Ancestor, Phoenix Ancestor, and Qilin Ancestor.

Although these Primordial Chaos Demon Gods had abandoned their Chaos True Bodies, they were proud by nature and had existed before the opening of heaven. Though they had lost their immense magical power,

they were unwilling to rank beneath the heaven and earth of the Primordial Wilderness. Thus, they called themselves Innate Demon Gods to demonstrate their status as beings born before all else. These Innate Demon Gods were the first batch of living beings born in the Primordial World after Pangu opened the heavens. Every one of them possessed an innate spirit body and was born with great divine abilities. Their magical power reached the heavens, and their divine arts were boundless. At this time, although the three clans each harbored ambitions to dominate the Primordial Wilderness, their leaders were evenly matched, as were the overall strengths of their clans. Therefore, the three clans generally remained independent of one another. Though minor disputes occasionally arose, there was no great enmity between them, and they could still be considered harmonious.

The three vows spread throughout the Primordial World, creating an enormous impact across the Primordial Wilderness. The Hundred Tribes of the Primordial Wilderness reacted differently to the vows made by the leaders of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes.

"Why should the Dragon Clan become the leader of us scaled and armored creatures? Did they ever ask for our agreement? I firmly oppose this! We demand fair treatment!" This came from those dissatisfied with the Dragon Clan, still hoping for fair treatment. Boss, did you just transmigrate into the Primordial Wilderness too? Fair treatment in this Primordial Wilderness? Give me a break. Here, strength is supreme. Without strength, what are you even protesting? Go do what you should be doing, or be careful that the Dragon Clan does not wipe you out. The Primordial Wilderness is dangerous, little one.

Where there was opposition, there was naturally support. This was the voice of agreement. The Dragon Clan's diehard lackey, the Black Tortoise Clan, supported the Dragon Clan becoming the supreme ruler of scaled and armored creatures. After all, when the boss grew stronger, his underlings also basked in glory. "The Dragon Clan is powerful, and its leader Ancestral Dragon and Candle Dragon are both rare experts in the Primordial Wilderness. We support the Dragon Clan becoming the supreme ruler of scaled and armored creatures." After all, everything in the Primordial Wilderness was decided by strength. The Dragon Clan's power was known to all. When one was powerful, one naturally had many "friends." Never mind what those "friends" truly intended—at the very least, they currently supported the Dragon Clan becoming the supreme ruler of scaled and armored creatures.

Of course, the Dragon Clan was not the only one to encounter voices of both opposition and support. The Phoenix Clan and Qilin Clan faced the same situation, and overall it was much the same. Yet regardless of whether the Hundred Tribes of the Primordial Wilderness approved or objected, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes becoming the supreme rulers of scaled and armored creatures, feathered creatures, and beasts was an unchangeable fact. Approval was better, of course. But if they did not approve—sorry, it was useless anyway. Go do whatever you were supposed to do.

Thus, the three clans stood in a three-legged balance within the Primordial Wilderness, becoming the supreme rulers of scaled and armored creatures, feathered creatures, and beasts, and the three strongest clans upon the Primordial Continent.

In truth, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes becoming the supreme rulers of scaled and armored creatures, feathered creatures, and beasts affected not only the Hundred Tribes of the Primordial Wilderness, but also the Primordial Rogue Cultivators.

The Primordial Rogue Cultivators were either individually powerful or individually weak; some sought quiet inaction, while others devoted themselves wholly to seeking the Dao. In short, the Primordial Rogue Cultivators all had different purposes, but that could not change one fact: they were usually alone. Perhaps they had a few attendants or friends, but unless they were truly overwhelmingly powerful, an individual was still comparatively weak before an entire clan. The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes becoming the supreme rulers of scaled and armored creatures, feathered creatures, and beasts had an enormous impact on the Primordial Rogue Cultivators, determining the direction their future lives would take.
