Chapter 753: Fengxi’s Origins (2)
Then... then there’s nothing more.
Han Jing was perplexed: "What does this mean? Is the Feng Clan also a Divine Clan? What’s going on? Wasn’t it said that the only one left from the Ancient Divine Clan was the Xia Clan?"
Su Yu, seeing that Han Jing had no intention of reading any further patiently, explained: "Indeed, only the Xia Clan remains because the other three Divine Clans have all been wiped out."
"Ah?"
Su Yu took the book back and tossed it aside: "In fact, the Ancient Divine Clan wasn’t just made up of these four clans but consisted of many races."
"Races?" Han Jing was a bit confused.
Su Yu nodded: "There’s very little written about that era of the Divine Clans, but piecing it together suggests that during a certain period in ancient times, on the continent, countless races possessing Divine Power emerged. Humans, Spiritual Beasts, and spiritual entities all cultivated to become gods, transforming into human form and possessing Divine Power that completely surpassed any limits. The recorded four great races only represent different types of clans. As for exactly how many such Divine Clans existed in that era, it’s unknown."
Han Jing exclaimed in surprise: "So according to you... the four Divine Clans are just a general term? Or, a categorization?"
"That’s roughly it. The Xia Clan is human, the Long and Feng clans are Divine Beasts. Actually, among the recorded Divine Beasts, there’s not just the Divine Dragon and Phoenix, but others like the Qilin as well. The Ming Clan is a general term for spiritual entities. After that period was completely destroyed, no relevant records were left. Only through the oral tradition of survivors was a unified classification made, referring to them as the four Ancient Divine Clans."
Han Jing was still somewhat puzzled: "Does that mean the Feng Clan is considered Divine Beasts?"
"Pretty much," Su Yu explained. "After that era’s complete downfall, the only thing left of the Divine Clans was the Xia Clan that vanished from the world. Later, it was called the Great Xia Divine Clan, while the other Divine Clans perished. Even though they perished, their bloodline still exists. Whether Divine Beasts or spiritual entities, once they cultivate into human form, they’re no different from humans. Their descendants, born from unions with humans, will also carry their bloodline. Of course, this bloodline’s strength gradually weakens. Unlike the Xia Clan, who were originally human, so even when they combined with humans, the impact on their bloodline was weaker. This might be why the Xia Clan survived while the other Divine Clans were destroyed. However, I reckon that the current Great Xia Divine Clan likely no longer has anyone with Divine Power. Otherwise, this continent wouldn’t be so calm, and the Xia Clan wouldn’t have retreated."
Han Jing nodded: "I see what you mean. So, you’re saying that Fengxi should be a descendant of the Feng Clan?"
"Yes, Little Junior Uncle was born into the Feng Family of Western Qi Country, but his background is somewhat special. He should be considered the closest to the Feng Clan’s bloodline... the ancestor of the Feng Family," Su Yu thought for a moment and described to Han Jing.
This left Han Jing utterly confused: "Ancestor?"
Su Yu chuckled: "More or less, he wasn’t born from the later generations of the Feng Family but was born from a Crystal Coffin sealed in the Feng Family’s Ancient Tomb."
