Ancestral Land

Ancestral Land is the origin and home of all Divine Spirits. Located in the Outer Universe, the very air of this place holds an **Ancestral Strength** that significantly helps Divine Spirits in increasing the strength of their bloodlines. However, this strength is very dangerous to humans, as it can turn them into mindless beasts over time. Most Divine Spirit Clans are represented here, with the notable exception of the Dragon Clan and the true Phoenix Clan, who are both major participants in the War against the Ink Clan.

It is eventually revealed that purer Divine Spirits are even stronger within Ancestral Land than outside of it. This is of course due to its Heavenly Way favoring Divine Spirits, allowing its most favored ones to take advantage of the World's Strength. Later, it is also revealed that Ancestral Land and Divine Spirits were born from the remnant of the Primordial Light, which had already respectively lost Sun's Burning Light and Moon's Serene Glimmer as its Yang and Yin components by that point.

## History

### Sealing Ink Giant Spirit God

Several tens of thousands of years ago, the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan engaged in battle with a Black Giant Spirit God in Ancestral Land. This mighty being slaughtered countless powerful High Rank Open Heaven Realm-equivalent Divine Spirits like they were nothing. The 3rd generation Dragon Emperor and Ice Phoenix Empress sacrificed themselves and their greatest Sacred Treasures, the Crystal Palace and Indestructible Chinese Parasol Tree respectively, along with the treasures of 14 other major Divine Spirit Clans in order to seal this nigh-invincible enemy. A result of this battle was the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Empress, along with their Sources, were lost in the Void. The remaining Dragon and Phoenix placed a seal on this part of Ancestral Land. The entire Dragon Clan and a large part of Phoenix Clan would later leave Ancestral Land to stand guard at No-Return Pass on Ink Clan Battlefield.

### Breaking the Seal

Countless millennia later, Yang Kai ends up in Ancestral Land with the 3rd Generation Dragon Emperor's Ancestral Dragon Source. The Kun Clan, lead by Kun Ao, has great enmity with the Dragon Clan, and seeks to use Yang Kai’s Dragon Clan power along with the Phoenix Clan's to break the seal on the gate. This would release the locked away Ancestral Strength, which had unfortunately grown very thin throughout the rest of Ancestral Land over the countless millennia since the seal was placed. The Phoenix Clan, being very close with the Dragon Clan, take Yang Kai into their protection. After discussing with Yang Kai the benefits of opening the Seal, Yang Kai agrees to help them. Together they break the seal and investigate with all the Divine Spirit Clans of Ancestral Land watching.

Upon entering the Clans find their long lost Sacred Treasures are being used to seal a dead Black Giant Spirit God. After making sure it is really dead, they find that all the Sacred Treasures must be removed at the same time. They then give Yang Kai many benefits to rapidly improve his Dragon Bloodline so that he would eventually achieve the Big Dragon Transformation. This would allow Yang Kai to successfully refine the Dragon Clan's Sacred Treasure, the Dragon Crystal Palace. Before leaving, Yang Kai agrees to take Hong Hu with him to Void Land to collect Su Yan, who carries the Ancestral Phoenix Source of the lost Ice Phoenix Empress, along with Zhu Qing, Shan Qing Luo, and all the other Divine Spirits of Void Land to rapidly improve their Bloodlines under the protection of the Four Phoenix Pavilion.

### Revived Ink Clone

During the Spatial Territory War, some of **Ancestral Land's** major forces make their way to defend the 3,000 Worlds from Ink, leaving it mostly empty of its top powerhouses. Kun Ao and Hong Hu stay behind to protect the young Divine Spirits. However, Ancestral Land is infiltrated by two 8th Rank Ink Disciples, who ambush and injure Kun Ao before one of them heads to the Sealing Demon Land to revive the Ink GSG. Yang Kai arrives to help Hong Hu defeat Lu An, an 8th Rank Ancestor of Yin-Yang Heaven who had assisted Yang Kai greatly in the early stages of his time on Ink Battlefield. However, Yang Kai and Hong Hu would be too late to stop the awakening of the Ink GSG, now learned to be one of multiple clones of the indestructible Ink.

### Favored Son

Almost 2,000 years later, Yang Kai would again arrive in Ancestral Land while looking for clues about the Primordial Light of the Outer Universe. After clearing it of numerous suppressed Ink Clan forces and Nests, Yang Kai begins to draw the increasing favor of Ancestral Land's Heavenly Way. Soon, Ancestral Strength begins to pour tremendously into Yang Kai, the new favored son of Ancestral Land. This greatly stimulates his Dragon Bloodline, causing Yang Kai to then spend over 100 years in Ancestral Land as he experiences its history through the effects of his growing attainments on the Dragon Clan's natural talent, the **Dao of Time**. Learning that the Ancestral Land and Ancient Divine Spirits both originated from the remnant of the Primordial Light, Yang Kai subsequently uses his new found strength to fend off a Ink Clan ambush, including a Pseudo Royal Lord, before eventually departing from a somewhat depleted Ancestral Land.
