Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1499: Nine-tailed Clan

"What? The Nine-tailed Clan is actually a large clan, and the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon is just a branch of it?"

Upon hearing the Shaman Sect Master’s words, Ye Yun was shocked and a bit stunned.

Originally, he thought the Nine-tailed Clan specifically referred to the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon Clan.

Unexpectedly, the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon was just one of the tribes.

Ye Yun looked at the Shaman Sect Master, quietly waiting for him to continue.

On the Celestial Boat.

Yu Lingfei suppressed the shock in her heart, also widened her eyes, and listened intently to these extremely ancient secrets of the Ancient Realm.

She had never heard of such secrets.

The Nine-tailed Clan and the Giant Demon Clan had seemingly never appeared in the Ancient Realm.

Shamanism, with its long-standing heritage and close ties to the Dragon Dao, also belonged to the Immortal’s Heritage, so Yu Lingfei believed that what the Shaman Sect Master said was true.

However, the events of that year were too far back, involving earth-shattering secrets, and certain records were erased by powerful forces, leading to the present-day gap in the Ancient Realm.

...

"Sir, it’s actually like this..."

The Shaman Sect Master composed his emotions and slowly said, "The Nine-tailed Clan has two major divisions: the Nine-headed Division and the Nine-tailed Division. The Nine-headed Division has five branches: the Nine-headed Insect, Nine-headed Snake, Nine-headed Bird, Nine-headed Beast, and Nine-headed Lion, while the Nine-tailed Division has four branches: the Nine-tailed Dragon, Nine-tailed Phoenix, Nine-tailed Tiger, and Nine-tailed Fox..."

"Goodness, the Nine-tailed Clan has such classifications!"

Ye Yun sighed lightly.

Coming to the Ancient Realm this time, he indeed broadened his horizons.

The Nine-tailed Clan was divided into the Nine-headed Division and the Nine-tailed Division, which indeed felt exceedingly novel.

"The Nine-headed Division has five branches, and the Nine-tailed Division has four branches. Does that mean the Nine-headed Division is stronger?"

Ye Yun asked with a smile.

"Yes, sir. In the oldest times, the Nine-tailed Clan was also known as the Nine-headed Clan, as the Nine-headed Division was indeed more powerful in that era..."

The Shaman Sect Master said with a bitter smile.

Ye Yun blinked, murmuring to himself, "The Nine-tailed Division has the Dragon and Phoenix tribes; don’t they support the flag?"

"Sir, the Nine-tailed Division was indeed weaker in that era,"

the Shaman Sect Master nodded.

"Then why was it later changed to the Nine-tailed Clan?"

Ye Yun asked.

"After the Nine-headed Division was strong for some time, one day, a mysterious large tomb appeared in the Ancient Realm. It was said to be an Immortal Tomb, sparking a contest among all clans, all wanting to obtain the Immortal’s legacy. Ultimately, only a few forces were capable of entering the tomb. Apart from the then Nine-headed Clan, they included the Giant Demon Clan and a few other races..."

The Shaman Sect Master paused slightly here and then continued, "At that time, the Human Race was still relatively weak, so no Human cultivator entered the tomb."

"Mm, please continue..."

Ye Yun nodded.

An expression of great interest reappeared on his face.

"Entering the depths of the tomb, the powerhouses of each race did not find the Immortal’s corpse but discovered seven large silver stars. Everyone was extremely surprised, not expecting that an Immortal Tomb would house seven large silver stars..."

The Shaman Sect Master said.

"Seven large silver stars were buried in the tomb?"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, glancing upward.

In the void, the Seven-Star Azure Dragon Phantom still hovered as if some answers were about to emerge.

The Shaman Sect Master said, "At that time, the powerhouses of each race speculated that these seven large stars might be a legacy left by the Immortal. They tried every means to acquire this legacy, but ultimately it was obtained by the Nine-tailed Dragon Clan!"

"How did they obtain it?"

Ye Yun asked.

"It is said that only the Nine-tailed Dragon Clan could approach these seven large silver stars. After approaching and dropping their blood, the seven stars transformed into a Seven-Star Azure Dragon, which was completely brought under the Nine-tailed Dragon Clan’s control..."

The Shaman Sect Master explained.

"So that’s the origin of the Seven-Star Azure Dragon Phantom..."

Ye Yun nodded thoughtfully.

This Seven-Star Azure Dragon Phantom did not appear to originate from the Ancient Realm but from a higher world, such as—

the Immortal Realm.

Of course, this was just Ye Yun’s guess.

The Seven Stars as the puppeteer might even be of a level higher than the Immortal Realm; it was uncertain.

Once in the Immortal Realm, Ye Yun naturally planned to investigate further, unraveling all the secrets layer by layer.

"With the Seven-Star Azure Dragon’s legacy, the Nine-tailed Dragon Clan advanced rapidly, unifying the Nine-headed Division, officially renaming the Nine-headed Clan to the Nine-tailed Clan, and then launched a campaign against the Giant Demon Clan, defeating and confining them in this small world of the Demon Imprisonment Well. Having done all this, the Nine-tailed Dragon left the Nine-tailed Clan and founded the Dragon Dao, establishing its own sect."

The Shaman Sect Master said slowly.

"You’re talking nonsense, Shaman Sect Master, what are you babbling about? How could the weak Nine-tailed Clan possibly defeat our Giant Demon Clan?"

Just as the Shaman Sect Master finished, a Giant Demon at the half-step Divine Emperor Realm on one of the seven-color tentacles roared in fury.

Ye Yun turned his head and smiled at the Giant Demon.

"After all, the Shaman Sect Master was not personally involved in those events; he’s only recounting what he heard. As firsthand witnesses, you of the Giant Demon Clan should know more, right?"

Ye Yun said.

"That’s correct!"

The Giant Demon gazed at Ye Yun, his eyes flickering, and spoke in a deep voice.

Ye Yun smiled slightly, "Then go on, please."

"Sir, your skills are incredibly high, your identity mysterious, even the Shaman Sect Master doesn’t know you, I fear you might not be from the Ancient Realm, right?"

The Giant Demon asked solemnly.

"More or less, I am merely a passerby in this Ancient Realm, intrigued by matters of the Dragon Dao..."

Ye Yun thought for a moment and said with a smile.

The Giant Demon relaxed inwardly and asked, "Then, may I speak without worry, but could you spare our lives? After all, there’s no enmity between us."

"Don’t worry. If I wanted to take your lives, I would have done it long ago. Would you still be alive now?"

Ye Yun spread his hands with a calm smile, "To be honest with you, I’m not exactly fond of the Dragon Dao either."

The Giant Demon heard Ye Yun speak such words, felt a sense of camaraderie, and couldn’t help laughing heartily, cupping his hands, "Hahaha, sir, allow me to bow to you!"

Seeing this big black figure embody such chivalrous loyalty, Ye Yun nodded appreciatively.

"Sir, to be honest, after the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon unified the Nine-headed Clan, they purposefully cozied up to my Giant Demon Clan, setting a trap to swindle away our Sacred Artifact, Mount Xumi, which led to our decline in power and our subsequent defeat by the Nine-tailed Clan..."

The Giant Demon said solemnly, with endless resentment in his tone.

The other Giant Demons’ blood-red eyes also showed a glow of hatred, clearly understanding the events of that year.

"So your Giant Demon Clan also had a Sacred Artifact?"

The Shaman Sect Master said in surprise.

For these extremely ancient events, he was merely recounting hearsay, having never heard of the Giant Demon Clan’s secret.

He initially thought it was the Seven-Star Azure Dragon’s legacy that strengthened the Nine-tailed Dragon Clan, enabling them to conquer the Giant Demon Clan.

Unexpectedly, there was a hidden truth within.

"Nonsense!

If this Sumeru Demon Mountain were with our clan, no matter how powerful the Seven-Star Azure Dragon’s legacy might be, it couldn’t have defeated our Giant Demon Clan so easily!"

The Giant Demon snorted coldly, displeased.
