Four Sacred Beast Clans

The **Sacred Beast Clan** is the ruling faction of the remaining daemons from the Daemons’ World. They are a colossus of an organization within the Immortals' World, only beneath Grand Exalts.

## Overview

**The Four Divine Beasts** (四神兽 sì shénshòu) (四大神兽) – also known as the Four Symbols (四象). They hold great significance in Chinese cosmology, with each beast representing a Cardinal Direction, a Season, and an Element.

* **Azure Dragon** (青龙 qīnglóng) – represents the East, Spring, and the Wood element.
* **White Tiger** (白虎 báihǔ) – represents the West, Autumn, and the Metal element.
* **Black Tortoise** (玄武 xuánwǔ) – represents the North, Winter, and the Water element. It’s also known as the Turtle-Snake (龟蛇), and it looks like a tortoise entwined with a snake. The Black Tortoise is closely connected to the warrior god Xuanwu.
* **Vermilion Bird** (朱雀 zhūquè) – represents the South, Summer, and the Fire element. It looks like a red pheasant, although sometimes it’s depicted with multi-colored plumage. It shouldn’t be confused with the Chinese Phoenix.

Similar to the Spiritsages, the four imperial clans of the Daemons’ World as well as many fragments of other races and clans went to the Immortals’ World. Though, their luck was a little better than the Spiritsages for the latter had to pay an extremely heavy price to gain footing in the Saints’ World. While the four imperial clans assimilated into the Immortals’ World much easier.

Many remaining races from the Daemons’ World settled down on the thirty-three heavens of the Immortals’ World after migrating over. But right now, they no longer call themselves imperial clans. They’ve merged into the Sacred Beast clan of the Immortals’ World. They were a tremendous organisation formed from the union of the four imperial clans of the Daemons’ World.

### **Bloodlines**

Amongst these clans were second-order bloodlines, only below the successors of the warring god:

* Sacredfeathered Tiger Emperor
* Violetgolden Black Tortoise
* Eternallife Vermillion Bird
* Nineclawed Golden Dragon

However, ever since the Daemons’ World shattered, basically no more Sacredfeathered Tiger Emperors, Violetgolden Black Tortoises, Eternallife Vermillion Birds, and Nineclawed Golden Dragons were born, as any rumors regarding these four bloodlines have fallen silent in both ancient records and the various worlds. It is like these four bloodlines have completely vanished from the world.

## Members

Each of the Four Sacred Beast Clans has one 9th Layer Immortal Exalt, making them a mighty organization truly deserving of their fame. However, their bloodline has been diluted and most of the true representatives of the sacred beasts no longer exist, such as the four imperial beasts.

### **Supreme Ancestor**

They are the four foremost ancestors of each clan who are all 9th Heavenly Layer, Immortal Exalt. Possessing the bloodline of a Grand Exalt, powerful legacies, and secret techniques, each one was a terrifying existence that could rival the heavenly emperors of the twelve courts of heaven.

### **Ancestors**

* **Vermillion Bird Clan:** Nanming Yunyan

## Trivia

The clan leader is considered the strongest beneath Grand Exalt, even against a half-step Grand Exalt Wind Venerable.
