Ao Zhan said in a deep voice, “Primordial Bird.”
“Primordial Bird?”
What is that?
Sun Wukong wondered.
It wasn’t just Sun Wukong who was clueless; aside from Ao Zhan and Great Immortal Zhenyuan, none of those present knew who the Primordial Bird was.
After all, the Primordial Bird was far too remote a notion for them.
It was from the Primordial Era, and many were born in the late period of Emperor Jun.
Even some immortals were born during the reign of the Jade Emperor over the Divine Dynasty.
Such an era was one of limited understanding of the Primordial times.
Add to that the chaos of the final period of Emperor Jun when ancient gods waged wars and turmoil abounded.
Even some of the ancient gods who are now well-known were in seclusion during that era.
Latterly, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi ruled Heaven and Earth, but his reign was even more domineering.
In that era, even great gods like the Queen Mother of the West sealed off their mountain gates and were even forced to leave Kunlun several times.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was too powerful, far surpassing Emperor Jun.
This led to even less understanding of the events from the Primordial times.
It was not until the era of the Jade Emperor that the atmosphere of the Three Realms became somewhat better, without the previous tension.
“The Primordial Bird, also known as the Ancestral Bird, is said to be the first bird between Heaven and Earth.
It once fought with the Phoenix for the title of the sovereign of the birds and, failing to prevail over the Phoenix, disappeared without a trace after its defeat,” explained Ao Zhan.
That there was such a story astounded all the immortals.
The Three Realms could be divided into several epochs: the Primordial Epoch, which followed the creation of Heaven and Earth and where the ancient gods and devils waged great wars, then came the Primordial Era ruled by Haotian God.
Following the reign of Haotian God came the Ancient Times, the period governed by Emperor Jun.
After Emperor Jun, there was the Ancient Era, which was the dominion of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
Then came the time when the Jade Emperor reigned, termed as the later generations.
The Primordial epoch was the time of tumultuous battles among the ancient gods and demons.
During Haotian God’s era, The Three Pure Ones cemented their supreme status, Haotian God unified the Three Realms, established the order of the Three Realms, and solidified the concept of the Heavenly Court controlling the Three Realms.
Subsequent to Haotian God was the Emperor Jun Era, the Middle Ages.
During this period, the Human Race began to grow in strength and make a name for itself, meanwhile, some powerful immortal gods of later generations, including the Queen Mother of the West, emerged during this time, striking awe throughout the world.
After the Emperor Jun Era, the Human Race burgeoned and entered a prosperous age.
More and more immortals from the Human Race emerged, and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi ruled Heaven and Earth.
During that time, some ancient immortals from the Human Race appeared.
Subsequently came the Jade Emperor’s era.
The Human Race thoroughly became the central protagonist between Heaven and Earth, bringing about a more orderly world and a flourishing period for all living beings.
At the same time, later generations of living beings almost completely replaced the ancient gods as the principal figures between Heaven and Earth.
The ancient gods retreated into seclusion and typically did not meddle in worldly matters.
More stringent divine regulations took shape, favoring the protection of ordinary living beings.
Fast forward to the present, Great Emperor Ziwei took over the reins, and the Jade Emperor’s Divine Dynasty came to an end.
But regarding the time before Emperor Jun’s era, the later generations of immortals truly lacked understanding and were oblivious to what had happened.
Not to mention the Primordial Epoch; only beings like Ao Zhan who had lived through that era knew some truths.
Great Immortal Zhenyuan, too, had lived from that time to the present, and it was exactly because he kept a low profile that he could achieve the fame of the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Great Immortal Zhenyuan.
“Why would the Primordial Bird do such a thing?
My Heavenly Court never made an enemy of him,” Great Emperor Ziwei said with a frown.
If it was really that Primordial Bird’s doing, he would not let him off the hook.
If the Primordial Phoenix were to return and lead the Phoenix Clan, it would undoubtedly be a formidable power within the realms,
The current might of the Dragon Clan vividly illustrates the strength of the Phoenix Lineage.
Moreover, the Primordial Phoenix is likely a Supreme Level power.
Such actions by the Primordial Bird amount to provoking a formidable enemy for the Heavenly Court, naturally, Great Emperor Ziwei would not be pleased.
If he knew the whereabouts of the Primordial Bird, he would have already gone on a killing spree.
“This guy is perverse, exceptionally cunning, and likes to commit acts that harm others without benefiting himself.
Above all, the Primordial Bird is probably trying to stir up enmity between the Heavenly Court and the Primordial Phoenix so that it can profit from their conflict.
By using the Heavenly Court to kill the Primordial Phoenix, or waiting for both to be grievously wounded, then he can strike at the Primordial Phoenix,” explained Ao Zhan.
Hearing Ao Zhan’s analysis, Great Emperor Ziwei sneered and said, “He sure does have schemes.”
Nodding, Ao Zhan continued, “That’s exactly the kind of creature the Primordial Bird is, overly self-assured.
There’s a nine out of ten chance that this incident is his doing.”
“It’s possible that the Ancestral Dragon will return as well,” Sun Wukong suddenly interjected.
Ao Zhan was visibly shaken.
He looked at Sun Wukong, his eyes flickering with elation.
But Ao Zhan remained polite as he asked with a smile, “Great Saint, why do you say that?”
In a grave tone, Sun Wukong said, “When I returned to Huaguo Mountain, I noticed something strange about the East Sea.
But I couldn’t put my finger on what had changed.
When I asked Ao Guang, he said there was nothing amiss.
If I’m not mistaken, the Ancestral Dragon must be about to return.”
All the immortals inhaled sharply.
Compared to the Primordial Phoenix and Primordial Bird, the Ancestral Dragon’s reputation was definitively greater.
And now, the Dragon Clan had pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Court, effectively becoming one of its members.
If the Ancestral Dragon were to return, what would be his choice?
Would the Dragon Clan still accept the dominion of the Heavenly Court?
Or would they choose independence?
No one could be sure, and everyone’s expressions turned odd.
Ao Zhan sensed everyone’s thoughts and said with a faint smile, “My dear fellows need not worry.
Even if my father returns, my Dragon Clan will still serve the Heavenly Court.
I will persuade my own father.”
