In the southern regions of the immortal realms, the three ancient clans were still the hegemon of this boundlessly vast stretch of land. This point wasn't something that could be changed so easily within a short time.
The tyrannical Ying Clan, the Southern Phoenix Clan governed by the Southern Phoenix Matriarch, as well as the mysterious and powerful Jiang Clan. These three great clans were all extremely powerful, their influence affecting the entire southern regions. Although there are still some other emperor-ranked powers existing in the southern regions, they had no way to shake the position of the three great clans.
In the past, when Qin Wentian came to the Southern Phoenix Immortal City, he was still a weakling. The him then was invited by Nanfeng Yunxi and came here to aid her to obtain the position as the holy successor. In the end, he did succeed as well.
TL Note:
The title of the chapter is in reference to a poem by an extremely famous poet in ancient china. A rough translation of the poem can be found below:
The great roc borrows the power of the wind to soar to the nine heavens.
When one day the wind ceased, the great roc descended back to earth, but it is still capable enough to carry up all the water in the oceans.
When people hear my speech, they assumed I only know how to speak of lofty-sounding things and mocked me for my bold, visionary words.
Confucius once said that the youngsters are fearsome for they are the future and would surpass the elder generations. A true man should never underestimate those who are more junior.
