“The Dragon Spirit Utopia was a world transformed from a wisp of the Ancestral Dragon’s remnant spirit, but the most mysterious thing was that the Genesis Qi within the Dragon Spirit Utopia has a huge refining effect on one’s flesh and blood. In other words, it is a sacred cultivation land for Genesis beasts. 

“Additionally, there is a well-known object in the Dragon Spirit Utopia called the Ancestral Spirit Fruit, which is born from the combination of the Ancestral Dragon’s remnant spirit and Genesis Qi. The fruit can greatly strengthen one’s Spirit.

“But the most important thing is the mountain called the Ancestral Spirit Mountain in the depths of Dragon Spirit Utopia. The mountain is incredibly mysterious and seems to possess spiritual intellect. There is an ancient beast platform divided into levels built on the Ancestral Spirit Mountain, and the person who can occupy the top of the battle platform and defend it will receive the Ancestral Spirit Mountain’s gift, which is a great opportunity.”  

Yaoyao softly explained the Dragon Spirit Utopia’s origin in front of a secluded bamboo building in the depths of a lush green mountain.

Zhou Yuan and Tuntun sat cross-legged in front of her like two good students, though Tuntun already knew about its origin.

Yaoyao glanced at Tuntun and said, “Tuntun needs the gift from the Ancestral Spirit Mountain, which will allow him to advance his cultivation and reach grade 8. It might even shorten the time he needs to reach grade 9.”  

Zhou Yuan couldn’t help smacking his lips. Grade 8 was equivalent to the Law Domain stage, and grade 9 was the Saint stage.

“I don’t know why it is taking you so long. I thought Alpha sacred beasts should reach grade 8 directly, but you’re only around the same level as me,” teased Zhou Yuan as he glanced at Tuntun.

Tuntun simply grinned when he heard Zhou Yuan’s ridicule.

Yaoyao explained, “Alpha sacred beasts can’t be measured using conventional reasoning. You gradually cultivate your strength by absorbing Genesis Qi, but an Alpha sacred beast’s power comes from their bloodline. Their power is not dependent on Genesis Qi but on themselves.

“This means Tuntun doesn’t need to painstakingly cultivate for years, but he only needs the key to unlock his bloodline. Once he gets the key, he can even soar to become a Saint in one leap.”

Zhou Yuan’s mouth fell open, somewhat resentful. As he had thought, the so-called Alpha sacred beast was abnormal because, for cultivators like him, it was a fairytale to become a Saint in one step.

Tuntun stretched out its claws and pointed at Zhou Yuan while laughing.

Zhou Yuan smiled and sat down next to Yaoyao. He held her small delicate hand and raised his brows at Tuntun.

Tuntun’s mouth twitched. It took out a stone slab and wrote a large word: “Pervert!”

Then, he wrote again: “Boss, ignore him!” and added a drawing of itself with a tearful expression.

Yaoyao was both amused and annoyed as she watched them fooling around, but she could feel a faint warmth filling her heart. She was always disinterested in everything in the world, and only they could make her feel warm emotions in her heart. 

So, she didn’t stop the two. She let Zhou Yuan hold her hand while she took out a jade gourd with the other and elegantly took a sip.

Clang!   

It was at that moment that a clamor of bells resounded from the Golden Monkey Clan’s ancestral land.

Zhou Yuan trembled a little as he said, “What’s going on?”

While Zhou Yuan was bewildered, space rippled before him, and a voice resounded toward him.

“Your Excellency Yaoyao, little friend Zhou Yuan, and Your Excellency Little Ancestor, please come to the conference pavilion.”

Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed because he recognized the voice belonging to clan leader Jin Yanghuang.

As he turned to Yaoyao, who was putting away the jade gourd, she urged, “Let’s go and see.”

After all, they were guests in the Golden Monkey Clan and should give the clan leader face.

As Yaoyao’s voice faded, she flicked her sleeve, and a stretch of brilliant light rolled up Zhou Yuan and Tuntun. Space around them suddenly twisted and directly consumed them.

The world in front of Zhou Yuan blurred, and by the time he regained consciousness, he was already situated inside a spacious hall. The hall was noisy and crowded with many cultivators from the Golden Monkey Clan.

Sitting on a platform in the conference pavilion, Jin Yanghuang wore a solemn expression. He immediately nodded at Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan when they appeared.

Yaoyao seated herself, and Zhou Yuan quickly followed her with Tuntun on his head.

Their appearance undoubtedly attracted many gazes. After all, Zhou Yuan’s name had stirred many waves within the Golden Monkey Clan. Of course, there were many more people curious about Yaoyao’s identity. After all, it was obvious that their clan leader was incredibly respectful and polite to the astonishingly beautiful girl. 

Once Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan arrived, Jin Yanghuang ran his gaze across the audience, and the hall fell silent.  

Jin Yanghuang’s expression was somewhat grave when he said, “I gathered everyone here because something major has happened.”

Everyone’s hearts froze for a moment. What happened? Even Jin Yanghuang said it was a major event.

“Several Saints of our Wanshou Heaven noticed strange spatial undulations, and after investigating, we found that the Sacred Race has located the Dragon Spirit Utopia.” When Jin Yanghuang spoke, it was as though he threw a bomb down at everyone and left everyone aghast.

Boom!  

The entire conference pavilion broke into an uproar. 

The Dragon Spirit Utopia was a treasure location unique to Wanshou Heaven. The domain was attached to Wanshou Heaven, and the Saints of Wanshou Heaven had set up several boundaries to protect it. 

But the Sacred Race suddenly locked onto the Dragon Spirit Utopia’s location! What was their intention?

“Clan leader, the Dragon Spirit Utopia has the mark of our Wanshou Heaven, so no foreign races other than Genesis beast clans can enter from other heavens,” said first elder Jin Jie in a deep voice.

Jin Yanghuang nodded. “That’s correct, so the Sacred Race did not dispatch Sacred Race members to enter the Dragon Spirit Utopia…but the evil beast clan.”

The clamor-filled hall suddenly fell silent, but Zhou Yuan noticed that many people’s eyes had turned a little red. An intense murderous intent was surging within the hall.

Moreover, it wasn’t just them. Even Tuntun, who was lying on Zhou Yuan’s head, was digging into his scalp with its claws.

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Yuan asked in puzzlement. He couldn’t understand why they would react in such a way to the so-called evil beast clan.

After Tuntun was silent for a good while, a wisp of thought penetrated Zhou Yuan’s mind. 

Zhou Yuan soon scrunched his brows in a frown.  

It was said that when the Sacred Race started the world-ending war and wanted to wipe out all other races in ancient times, the Genesis beast race fought back with all their strength. This was considered the Genesis beast race’s most pinnacle moment in history and they had greatly pressured the Sacred Race, which was invading them.  

But traitors appeared among the Genesis beasts at the most critical moment.

Some Genesis beasts betrayed their race and turned to the Sacred Race, weakening the Genesis beast race’s strength.

Moreover, the Genesis beasts that joined the Sacred Race also brought the corpses of many ancestors of various beast clans. In the end, the Sacred God of the Sacred Race used the flesh and blood of many Genesis beasts and Genesis beast ancestors to cleanse the Genesis beasts that joined them. 

As a result, a new clan was born.    

It was the so-called evil beast clan that Jin Yanghuang was speaking about.

The new clan, built on the flesh, blood, and corpses of the Genesis beast race, possessed a unique characteristic—they had an intense hunger for Genesis beasts, and whenever the two met, there was no doubt that one would die. 

The clan was a product that the Sacred Race specially created to target the Genesis beast race.

The two sides had clashed several times over the years, and the feud between them was too deep and complicated to describe.

Only when the Sacred Race withdrew back to their five heavens after the world-ending war did the killings gradually become less frequent. However, the deep hatred the Genesis beast race felt towards the evil beast clan was recorded in the ancient records. 

It was the hatred towards the traitors for betraying them and for tarnishing their ancestors’ corpses.

Zhou Yuan was silent for a good while. It was no wonder that there was such an uproar.

But there was something he was more concerned about…     

He realized there were more and more movements from the Sacred Race these years.

Zhou Yuan turned his head slightly, looking at Yaoyao’s beautiful side profile. He somehow felt a little uneasy about the changes, as if a storm was gradually brewing.

And when the storm erupted, when it raged, it would likely overturn the all-heavens.
