Shenwu's Sky

## Introduction

The Shenwu's Sky was one of the four ruling forces, located in the Higher Realm of the Perennial World. The Shenwu's Sky was overseen by the Primeval Surname Xia. The Shenwu's Sky was in charge of the Bifrost.

## History

The Xia family were part of the Fifth Mainland and were below the Lu family alongside the four other powers. Back then, the Xia family stood at the very top, and it was beneath only the Lu family. The Nine Clones Secret Technique is exceptional, and if not for the fact that the Lu family was simply invincible, the Xia family probably would have ruled over the Fifth Mainland. The Xia family valued the main family line above the branch family line above all and with the belief that the branch families could never stand up to the main family, with all members of the Xia family ultimately served the main family. The Xia family was willing to do just about anything to the members of their own branch families, and they regarded anyone who was not part of the direct family line as pawns to be used. This was why they had made it a point to execute Progenitor Chen’s parents, and it was also why he had not been acknowledged by the family for so long, despite his peerless talent.

The Xia family achieved amazing success, but the rise of Xia Shang (Progenitor Chen) who was part of a branch family member had resulted in the Xia family removing him from the family genealogy and targeted him to be killed. It was only due to the protection of Lu Tianyi's decree of only those of the same generation could target Xia Shang that allowed him to grow to how he is. Xia Shang not only robbed the Xia family of the Mountains and Seas they wanted to inherit, but he also stole the one that the Xia family controlled, leaving them with nothing at all. It was only after he became a Progenitor and took control of one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas that the Xia family decided to return his name to the family records without his consent. Even more ridiculous is that after the incident with Progenitor Nan, the Xia family tried to remove his name again, but if not for the Lu family’s interference, the Xia family really would have done it.

In fact, the entire reason why Progenitor Chen had seized control of two Mountains and one Sea had been because he wanted to remove the Xia family's path forward and prevent anyone from the Xia family from controlling one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. The Xia family had given birth to some truly outstanding individuals in that generation, and they did not fall behind the geniuses from the Wang or Bai families at all, but because of Xia Shang, everyone from the Xia family had failed to receive any of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas’ inheritances. In fact, they had all failed to become Progenitors due to the emotional scars that Xia Shang had inflicted upon them. These events eventually led to the Xia family to fall until they were merely comparable with the White Dragon Clan.

It was only because the Lu family stepped up to protect Xia Shang that the Xia family weren’t able to remove his name from the family records. After that, to protect his reputation, the XIa family did their best in the war against the Sixth Mainland. Later on, to prevent younger members of the Xia family from learning about any of this, the Xia family did its best to keep everything hidden with the Xia family descendants still believe that Xia Shang was one of their ancestors, and one of the greatest which the Xia family produced. Due to this humiliation, Xia Shang's name was forbidden within the Xia family, and none of their members dared to mention the name.

After the Fifth Mainland's defeat to the Sixth Mainland, the Lu family alongside many of the families and powers, migrated to the Mother Tree, now the Perennial World. The Lu family had lived in the Higher Realm, while the other powers had been all at the Middle Realm.

Progenitor Xia Chan, who was one of their early ancestors, had left behind a broken saber that’s used to suppress the imprisoned jiao so that it could protect the Xia family. Even the Lu family spoke of the Xia family’s Progenitor Xia Chan with high levels of respect. It’s only because of that saber that there can be any safety when approaching the jiao.

During the celebratory occasion of the Lu family, Shenwu Sky, Celestial Frost Sect, Wang Family, and White Dragon Clan used the White Dragon Rolls Over to exile the Lu family and taken control of the Perennial World.

## Information

There was a massive region of the Higher Realm that had a unique terrain. There were mountains and rivers, and the rivers looked like thorns that poked up into the sky. There was no light in the sky in this place, though there was a hideous monster that seemed to have the form of a dragon bound here. This place was Shenwu's Sky.

There were nine incomparably huge chain links between the ground and the sky that surrounded Shenwu's Sky. Directly above Shenwu’s sky was a ferocious dragon that was bound by chains and its tail was pierced to the ground by a broken blade.

The Shenwu's Sky housed the Nest, which was the Middle Realm's largest prison.
