==History==
There were some ancient beasts who possessed pure bloodlines. They were not called Magical Beasts. Instead, they called themselves Xuan Beasts, and they were able to transform into a full human form.
In ancient times, there had been a period of peace when human experts had intermarried with Xuan Beasts, birthing children that had inherited a portion of both their strengths.
Later, for some unknown reason, there had been an immense battle between the Xuan Beasts and the human cultivators. Their relationships had also fractured.
That caused an awkward consequence. The descendants of the two sides had ended up being abandoned. Neither side accepted them.
Then for some other unknown reason, the Xuan Beasts had declined. Many of them had disappeared. As for the human race, they had also been greatly weakened. The ones possessing both their bloodlines ended up becoming the greatest force back then. They had called themselves the ancient races. It was said that they had led the Martial Heaven Continent for quite a long time.
Ouyang Qiuyu guessed that the only reason that had occurred was because an immense war had been fought between the humans and the Xuan Beasts. Their inheritances were severed as their elites fell. As for the ancient races, they had become the greatest benefactors.
===Ancient Races: Intermating===
The ancient races were the descendants of the human race and the Xuan Beasts. Back in that era, the human race was very powerful, and they possessed a Sovereign who blinded the world with their radiance.
In that era, the Xuan Beasts were merely the human race's subordinates. They were the ones who had taken the initiative to marry into the human race. Some of the Xuan Beasts had even treated marrying members of the human race as an absolute honor.
However, when the final Sovereign vanished, the human race declined to the point that the Xuan Beasts viewed their inter-marrying with the human race as a mistake, a humiliation. They not only split ties with the human race, but they also kicked out the results of the intermating.
Back then, the human race had accepted those that had been kicked out. However, those people also saw that the human race had declined, so they decided to form their own name, calling themselves the ancient races.
The ancient races worshipped the strong, and so they worshipped the Xuan Beasts. They said that they were the descendants of the Xuan Beasts, while refusing to accept that they also came from the human race. They had once started large wars against the human race, resulting in much blood. The ties between the two were fully severed.
Perhaps the ancient races were truly good loyal dogs. In the end, while the Xuan Beasts did not acknowledge them, they also did not kick them away. They still had some relations between them.
That made the ancient races feel an even greater sense of belonging amongst the Xuan Beasts, so they felt that the human blood flowing in their veins was a disgrace. They were full of hatred toward the human race. 
As for Long Chen, he didn't care about their reasoning. He directly talked to them as if he was their ancestor. That refreshed quite a few human experts present.
"The ancient races have the blood of the human race and the Xuan Beasts. The Xuan Beasts ignore you like slaves, while the human race dislikes you for your beast nature. To suck up to the Xuan Beasts, you try to act like a tyrannical ruler in your own right instead of acting like a slave, but let me tell you, a dog will always be a dog in the end. No matter how fierce it acts, it can't become a lion."
Each of Long Chen's words was like an arrow stabbing into Xiang Yunfei's heart, making him almost go crazy with rage. Long Chen's words were also very satisfying to the experts present.
His words were right on the mark. The human race was the most complicated race. It was a mix of good and evil, and there were people with all kinds of natures. Even a single person would have their character constantly change in different environments.
For profit, a good person could become a devil, and sometimes to protect their family, a coward could become a fearless warrior.
This kind of complicated nature was inherited by the ancient races, along with the Xuan Beasts' domineering wildness. So the ancient races were also a complicated race, and the Xuan Beasts viewed them as too cowardly, so they didn't want them.
Of course, saying such things in front of members of the ancient races was taboo. Many people knew it inside but didn't dare to say it. That was why the experts from the various regions almost cheered from having their thoughts put into words.
==Story==
===Capturing Cloud===
The Xuan Beasts captured Cloud.
Rumor is that the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow race is a traitor of the Xuan Beasts and have been hunted down by them the entire time. Just yesterday, news came that the Xuan Beasts had captured one of their surviving members. I didn't pay much attention to that at the time, but then the situation changed. People are saying that the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow is the one that's always with you, Cloud," said Zheng Wenlong. 
"Practically, all the continent's powers are related to Pill Valley. The Xuan Beasts don't interfere in the outside world's matters, but they do pay attention to what happens. In particular, the ancient races are their descendants. The ancient races look down on humans and always express their loyalty to the Xuan Beasts. As for you, you've repeatedly challenged the ancient races and killed their experts. The possibility exists that the ancient races would ask for help from the Xuan Beasts. So there's no way to confirm whether the Xuan Beasts have joined in because of Pill Valley or the ancient races," said Zheng Wenlong.
===Devil Abyss===
“Their souls are being controlled by someone. Someone has gathered them to attack us.” Meng Qi immediately recognized some clues.
These Magical Beasts were in formation and working together. That wasn’t something normal Magical Beasts did. They had to be controlled by an expert.
The elder’s expression suddenly changed. He dispelled his Spiritual Strength, but it was too late.
The elder’s head instantly exploded. His soul, including his Yuan Spirit, was wiped out of existence.
“This blood... It was someone from the Xuan Beasts.”
Through Meng Qi’s soul, Long Chen saw the scene of the elder’s head exploding. His expression grew uglier.
It was no wonder this person had possessed the ability to control so many Magical Beasts. Perhaps only the Xuan Beasts, the top of the beast races, could do such a thing.
===Cultivation===
The Xuan Beasts were the ancestors of the ancient races. They had once mated with the human race, resulting in the ancient races.
However, later the human race had declined, and the Xuan Beasts had stopped having relations with them. They also rarely interacted with the ancient races, but the ancient races always said that they were the descendants of the Xuan Beasts while rejecting their human ancestry. That resulted in rumors saying that they had a certain relationship.
As for this time, the rumors said that it was the Xuan Beasts that had captured Cloud. It was only thanks to Peng Wansheng's connection to them that the Xuan Beasts had moved to capture Cloud and force out Long Chen.
Now that this large man appeared, everyone's heart shook. Did this mean the Xuan Beasts were about to join in on this matter? If that was really the case, then Long Chen's death was even more assured.
This expert was a true Xuan Beast. After reaching the tenth rank, Xuan Beasts were able to transform into human form at will. They could also return to their original form whenever they wanted to, such as in battle.
The most powerful aspect of the Xuan Beasts was their terrifyingly powerful physical bodies, as well as their great longevity.
After reaching the tenth rank, they would spend most of their time in human form. After all, humans were the most spiritual of all creatures. In human bodies, they were able to feel a closer connection to the Heavenly Daos.
Before reaching the tenth rank, the Xuan Beasts would cultivate their innate divine abilities. After reaching the tenth rank, they began cultivating the Heavenly Daos, which made their divine abilities even more terrifying. The tenth rank was a dividing line amongst Xuan Beasts.
All the Xuan Beasts of each race had one surname. So the tiger races were all surnamed Hu, and the eagle races were all surnamed Ying.
The ancient races followed the same tradition. Only by acting the same as the Xuan Beasts could they feel a sense of belonging.
==Human form ==
"I've heard rumors that the Xuan Beasts transform into their human form in order to sense the Heavenly Daos, merge their divine abilities with the Heavenly Daos, and create their foundation for ascension. However, their human form also limits their power. Only once they returned to their true forms can they unleash their full power. When Hu Xiaolin said that he was using only fifty percent of his power, it seems he wasn't lying," said the Empyrean from the neutral camp.
Although he was also an Empyrean, now he found out just how lacking he was compared to Hu Xiaolin. The power that Hu Xiaolin had revealed before wasn't something he could defeat, but at least he'd be able to flee. However, now Hu Xiaolin was as quick as lightning, and thus he'd definitely die before getting away. His only option would be to patiently wait for his death.
==Trivia==
* Xuan Beasts, the number one race in power. The Xuan Beasts were proud and arrogant, while their power was their proudest talent. They were unable to accept that a human's power could surpass theirs.
