The rightful heir of the Dao Clan encountered a physical anomaly in infancy, leading Dao Xiaotian’s couple to send the child to the Martial Hall. However, the Martial King of the Hall, upon discovering the child possessed the Primordial Holy Body, intended to kill him. Later, the Martial King found an ancient technique that could fuse the Primordial Qi from the child’s body into the Martial Emperor’s own. Dao Ling, after slaying the Martial Emperor, reclaimed the Primordial Qi.
The Dao Clan traces its lineage back to the Supreme Dao Emperor, the ancestor of the human race who safeguarded an era free from racial conflicts. As part of the Imperial Clan, the Dao Clan followed the Supreme Dao Emperor’s footsteps in a lifetime of battles, even at the cost of depleting their cultivation and bloodline to seal away creatures from other realms. As the years passed, the strain on their bloodline grew, resulting in a period of bloodline weakness.
