The Medallion

Finally, after waiting for so long, the day that the Ethereal Valley would open drew near.

The valley was at the bottom of the Ethereal Mountain, which was the holy land of the spiritual race. Since it was very important and sacred, it was being guarded by the parliament.

The parliament was comprised of the patriarch of the spiritual race and twelve other elders. It was considered the highest authority in the entire spiritual race. Compared to the Shura Race that was heavily submissive to the royal family—as well as the human race that had several conflicting sects and clans—the spiritual race was seen to be the most unified one. In fact, all major decisions that would likely affect the future of the race would be voted upon by the parliament. Even the patriarch did not have the power to overturn what the parliament had decided.

At this moment, the teams formed by the five largest clans of the spiritual race were already prepared to set out and enter the Ethereal Valley.

Aside from the Wankong Clan, the other four greatest clans included the Lingji Clan, the Xiayu Clan, the Bilong Clan, and the Hongling Clan.

They were actually the five greatest tribes of the spiritual race that had existed since ancient times. The most powerful one among them was the Lingji Clan, who originated from a famous and powerful matriarchal tribe. Although the disparity in terms of gender was mitigated upon the establishment of the clan, they still kept its matriarchal system. All their previous leaders were women, and most of their warriors were female.

The Hongling Clan was second to the Lingji Clan in terms of overall power. However, compared to the other four great clans, it possessed the longest history. It also had abundant resources and several talented disciples.

On the other hand, the Xiayu Clan and the Bilong Clan were about equal in strength.

Lastly, was the weakest among the five—the Wankong Clan.

Nonetheless, they still deserved to be a part of the five greatest clans due to their superb medical skills that no one in the spiritual race could match. If it wasn't for this, the parliament might have already expelled them from the five greatest clans, especially because of its recent decline.

However, if the Wankong Clan could not find a way to stop their decline, the parliament might eventually consider removing their status and looking for a more deserving clan.
