Of course, aside from serving as alternate identities for the big shots of an era, the Divine Race era...
There were still plenty of noteworthy figures.
For instance, the White Emperor of the Western Lands, Bai Zhaoju.
He was not an avatar of any of the three races' Patriarchs.
Instead, he was the genuine article, appearing as himself.
And tens of thousands of years later, he personally adopted another identity.
Called Great Sage Western White Tiger Jianbing!
That was roughly the ramshackle lineup of the Five Elders: either someone's alternate identity, or someone's true self who would adopt another identity in the future.
A gathering place for sneaky bastards.
But back then, besides the Holy Spirit Race and the Divine Race's Heavenly Court...
There was another faction involved in surrounding and slaughtering the inhabitants of Penglai's island of wandering immortals.
The North Sea Alliance!
In truth, the North Sea Alliance could hardly be called a major power.
It merely met the most important criterion for becoming one.
Back then, it had a first-tier Primordial Origin Golden Immortal holding the fort!
As luck would have it.
The North Sea happened to have a mighty cultivator who had just reached that level.
Old Ancestor Kunpeng.
During the siege against the King Father of the East...
Ever since the two brothers were born, they had roamed the Primordial World with cultivation at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.
They had not properly met face-to-face for tens of thousands of years, leaving Di Jun and Taiyi filled with emotion.
Both conceived the idea of joining forces.
And so, over the course of several conversations between the brothers...
The establishment of the Demon Tribe Heavenly Court was finally settled.
At the time, he had merely wanted to give the King Father of the East a beating.
