Ancient Wild Lands

The **Ancient Wild Lands** are a mysterious collection of lands in the Eastern Territory of Star Boundary. They are ruled by 4 Divine Spirit Divine Venerables and 32 Monster Kings when Yang Kai first came to Star Boundary. It is famous for being one of the most powerful collections of Monster Beasts within Star Boundary, along with Spirit Beast Island and Dragon Island.

The Ancient Wild Lands have a mysterious Wild Qi that runs through its air, and also has a powerful natural barrier that prevents humans from easily entering the domain of its Monster Kings. When humans do make it to the inside, they are met with great hostility. However, many still risk these dangers due to the possibility of enjoying the bountiful herbs and treasures that reside within the Ancient Wild Lands. The Ancient Wild Lands are also the home of the legendary Mountains and Rivers Bell used by the Yuan Ding Great Emperor, and later Yang Kai.

## Influences

### Divine Venerable

As stated earlier, these rulers each possess a Divine Spirit Source, giving them power comparable to a strong Pseudo-Great Emperor. They are listed as follows:

* Fan Wu - Eastern Divine Venerable
* Luan Feng - Southern Divine Venerable
* Cang Gou - Western Divine Venerable
* Shi Huo - Northern Divine Venerable (deceased, killed by Zhang Ruo Xi)

### 32 Monster Kings

These Monster Race rule within the four regions of the Ancient Wild Lands and are evenly split among the domains of the Divine Venerables. Under the Monster Kings are countless Monster Race of varying levels of strength and status. Except for one, each of the Monster Kings is comparable to the peak of the 3rd Order Emperor Realm, and have no way to get stronger unless they receive their respective Divine Spirit Sources. The known Monster Kings are listed below:

* Ying Fei
* Xie Wu Wei
* Xi Lei
* Du Mi'er
* Hu Fei
* Chi Lian
* Xiong Kai Shan
* Hu Li (only one comparable to the 2nd Order Emperor Realm)

### Stone Puppet/Wood Spirit Village

These two races have their own independent corner of Ancient Wild Lands and live together in a mutually beneficial relationship. The Wood Spirits are not suited for fighting but are unparalleled in growing and nurturing while also providing a strong support role to the powerful but low population Stone Puppet Clan in combat. Xiao Xiao came here after he was separated from Yang Kai when the Starlight Corridor collapsed on the way to Star Boundary.

## Blood Gate

### Heaven's Order

In the middle of the Ancient Wild Lands lies the Ancient Blood Gate of Heaven's Order, where the Sources of countless Divine Spirits are trapped. This gate is held with great reverence by the inhabitants of Ancient Wild Lands, who hope to re-inherit the lost Divine Spirit Sources of their Ancestors. These Ancestors foolishly opposed Heaven's Order in the Antiquity, and fell under her sword.

During the events of the story, the Blood Gate awakens in response to Zhang Ruo Xi, the descendant of Heaven's Order, entering the Ancient Wild Lands with Yang Kai. Ruo Xi eventually enters the Blood Gate with Xiao Xiao to receive her full legacy and the memories of Heaven's Order.

### Post Demon War

Zhang Ruo Xi received her full legacy after entering the Blood Gate. After the Ancient Wild Lands redeemed themselves by serving Star Boundary valiantly in the War against the Demon Race, she, by Yang kai’s blessing, returns Divine Spirit sources to all Monster Race who had lineage in Ancient Wild Lands. About half the Monster Kings received a Divine Spirit Source during this time.

## Void Land

The entirety of the Ancient Wild Lands’s members with Divine Spirit Sources followed Yang Kai to join Void Land. They trained in their own area of Void Land that was dedicated to the training of Divine Spirits. Eventually, Yang Kai would have them all sent to Ancestral Land so that they could quickly improve their bloodlines under protection of the Ancestral Land Phoenix Clan.
