Clear Sky Clan was one of the three upper sect clans. It later became an ancient Great Clan renown in the Federation. The clan has deep ties with Tang Sect and Shrek Academy after Tang San's rise to a God. This clan is secretly notable for producing several generations of Gods, through Tang Hao's lineage. Its strongest generational powerhouse and representative is usually named the Clear Sky Douluo.

Description

Among the three upper sects of ancient Soul Land 1, Clear Sky Clan is a mysterious existence and is the strongest clan of the three upper sect clans. Their spirit is Clear Sky Hammer, said to be the greatest in burst power and the strongest tool spirit at the current time. In Soul Land 1, the clan has over seven Titled Douluos (average to quasi-demigod); Tang Xiao and Tang Hao to name a few.

Before Tang Hao's banishment around the time of Tang San's birth, the Clear Sky Clan had four notable subordinate clans: Strength, Defense, Speed and Breaking clans. With the creation of Tang Sect, the Clear Sky Clan had an independent intermediary with the outside world.

Because two famous ancestors of the clan, Tang Hao and Tang San, fell in love with then married Human turned spirit beasts, the Clear Sky Clan advocates the practice of protecting and guiding spirit beasts (beast or human). However, the clan's influence and powerhouse influence by SL2 has fallen to the level of being unable to prevent the decline in spirit beasts' worldwide population.

Soul Land 2

Before SL2, the ancestral princess Tang Wutong left the Divine Realm and Tang San requested Da Ming (Niu Tian) and Er Ming (Tai Tian) to become her guardians in the mortal realm as the temporary co-Heads of the Clear Sky Clan during her tenure. The co-clan heads also begin the recultivation as Humans and act as the representatives of Tang San in the mortal realm. During her stay, Tang Wutong was the Clan's Young Mistress.

 In Shrek Academy’s collection of information regarding sects, the Clear Sky Sect was ranked at the forefront, along with the Body Sect. It was clear that they were a powerful sect.

According to the archives’ introduction, the Clear Sky Sect had been around even before Shrek Academy. It was an ancient sect that had existed for at least ten thousand years, with a history even longer than the Body Sect. Ten thousand years ago, the Clear Sky Sect was touted as the number-one tool soul sect, and even the reputable Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was inferior to them.

However, Shrek Academy’s archives also recorded that the Clear Sky Sect had gradually disappeared about a thousand years ago. It was said that people from the sect were no longer seen on the Continent, and were thought to be gradually approaching extinction. However, not only was the Clear Sky Sect still around, but they also possessed this miraculous castle deep in the clouds.

After Wutong returned with her spouse Huo Yuhao to the Divine Realm, the two temporary Heads retired and stayed on the Douluo Continent. The ancestors 2^nd Class Gods Tang Hao and Ah Yin lived in the mortal realm, the Douluo Plane, before the disappearance of the Divine Realm.

Soul Land 3

In SL3, the Clear Sky Clan's unknown ancestral prince Tang Wulin was sent to the Douluo Continent before the Divine Realm was displaced to the far side of the universe. 10,000 years ago before his arrival, ancestor Tang San secretly had his father Tang Hao become the Douluo Plane's Planar Lord and his mother Ah Yin become the Planet's Life Core in Shrek Academy to ensure his failsafe plan for the Abyssal Plane would be completed and to look out for his only son, Tang Wulin. Years later, with the international gathering of many organizations to fight a war against the Abyssal Plane creatures' invasion and their allies, the Holy Spirit Cult, the current Clear Sky Clan Head participated. At the time, Tang Wulin had the chance to see the Head.

At Tang Sect, one can exchange contribution points for the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique that improved one's forging. Supposedly, the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique was developed by a great clan from an era long gone. It was the clan of the Tang Sect’s revered founder, Tang San—the Clear Sky Clan. As time progressed, the Clear Sky Clan faded into oblivion, leaving behind the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique as its sole legacy. The technique could be used both in battle and for blacksmithing.

Since 20,000 years ago, the Clear Sky Clan with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan have become the oldest trio and deepest inheritance clans on Douluo Planet. However, they faced the problem of not being able to produce any Limit Douluo-ranked (Rank 99) powerhouse which resulted in the gradual decline of the clan.

During the war against the Abyssal Plane, the current participating generations of the Clear Sky Clan learned of their ancestral prince's existence. They also had the chance to see their pride, their 20,000+ year ago ancestor true God Tang Hao use his Clear Sky Hammer to resurrect many fallen meritable humans. His Clear Sky Hammer's power even resonated with theirs to confirm Tang Hao's existence.

Soul Land 4

The clan's next God is Tang San's eldest grandson, Tang Xuanyu. He is destined to be the next Dragon God, a God King of God Kings.

Location

Soul Land

Tang San initially received a map detailing the location of the clan's hidden lands from his aunt.

Soul Land II

Tang Wutong (male) guided Huo Yuhao to the hidden location of the Clear Sky Clan. It is located in a very tall mountain range a distance away from Heaven Dou City.

An enormous mountain appeared in the distance. This peak was majestic, and the mountain’s topography seemed steep and perilous. From a distance, the mountain appeared to have three sides that stretched upward vertically, as if they had been carved by a knife. Only one side was relatively flatter, but that was only relative to the other three sides. Normal people would have a very difficult time climbing this mountain. Only the relatively gentler slope had layers of vegetation growing along its surface.

The surrounding mountains meandered around this steeply sloped peak. However, even the tallest of the surrounding mountains only reached halfway up this kingly summit. An ocean of clouds drifted above the range of mountains, but an onlooker could only see the part of this peak that was below the sea of clouds; one would have to rise above the clouds to see what was above.

They unleashed their soul power into their flying-type soul tools and surged straight towards the steepest peak in the mountains. The distance was truly hard to gauge; it seemed from a distance that they were quite near, but it took them fifteen minutes just to reach it. Huo Yuhao could feel the immense pressure from the towering peak becoming stronger as they got closer. Its majesty and how tall it was made it seem like a sky pillar connecting the heavens to the earth.

Even this place was probably two thousand meters above sea level, and he still had no idea how high this peak actually was above the ocean of clouds.

There is an external defense mechanism the Clear Sky Sect’s mountain-guarding formation, a cloud fog that disrupts and nullifies visual and spiritual perception (even Huo Yuhao's Eye of Destiny) ---one misstep and you’ll plummet from the mountain. In fact, only the clouds around the main peak have this special effect. However, a special bird-type soul beast known as the Killer in the Clouds inhabits these clouds. Many of them are ten thousand year soul beasts, and they travel in groups. As such, it’s not that easy to fly across. The road to the top of the Clear Sky Peak was precipitous. People had to use their hands and legs in order to reach the top.

The path in front of them finally cleared up, and the surrounding clouds that had constantly hovered over their heads were now beneath their feet. Standing atop a sea of clouds brought about a completely new feeling, and a strange light continuously sparkled in Huo Yuhao’s eyes. He then looked up, only to find himself looking at a castle.

Indeed, roughly three hundred meters above his head stood a majestic castle. It was nestled atop the mountain summit’s, high above the ocean of clouds. The greyish castle felt ancient, and gave of a feeling of standing on top of the world. Huo Yuhao couldn’t fathom how a castle such as this had been constructed amongst the rolling clouds and on a peak as steep as this. The tremendous castle on the mountaintop could only be described as a miracle. Soul tools had been developed to a point where they could change an entire nation, but constructing a castle such as this one on a such a steep mountain was nearly impossible.

Several hundred meters wasn’t much to them, so it didn’t take long before they reached the summit Clear Sky Peak 昊天峰 and stood before the mystical castle. The mountain winds were stronger and sharper on the mountaintop, and carried a dense amount of moisture. However, no matter how powerful the winds were, the castle stood proudly atop the summit with ease. The castle’s gate was shaped like an arch, and had three words embedded on it: Clear Sky Castle 昊天堡.

It couldn’t be felt in Clear Sky Castle, but the moist, chilly wind was immediately obvious once someone stepped outside. Clear Sky Castle was constructed from some unknown material that warded away the chill and the damp, both of which were evident and uncomfortable after leaving the comfort of those walls. Conservative estimates put the Clear Sky Peak at three thousand meters high! The top of Clear Sky Peak was made of extremely hard granite.

Clear Sky Castle 昊天堡 Soul Land II

There weren’t many extravagant decorations or ornaments inside the castle. Everything was mainly black or grey in color, with occasional traces of green. There were two flights of stairs on each side, and leading to higher levels. The castle’s structure wasn’t complicated, having only three levels, but every level covered a great deal of space.

The people from the sect reside in the Clear Sky Castle. The second level is for hosting guests, and is also where the sect’s elders stay. The Co-Heads and Wutong stay on the third level. 

Guest Room: The room couldn’t be considered big or spacious. The bed frame, tables, chairs, and even the wardrobes were made of stone. The furniture was extremely simple. There was no bedsheet or blanket. The room was about twenty square meters, and had only one window. The window frame was shaped in an arch, and there was a layer of crystal-like glass covering it. The rolling clouds outside that fell into the eyes made one feel like he or she was in a sage paradise. 

The room had its own bathroom the Ice Jade Chamber, with a water basin filled with clear water. Huo Yuhao reached out to scoop out some water to wash his face, but he got a shock when placed his hands in the water. 

The water was freezing. Even with his Ultimate Ice, he still shivered from the cold, and a lot of the water spilled out of his hands. It’s so cold! What kind of water is this? Huo Yuhao hesitated, but splashed the clear water on his face anyway. A clean coldness that seemed to reach into his bones instantly coursed through his entire body, and his entire being was energized and invigorated.

The water that just used to wash the face is a kind of spring water should be a Frozen Spring. It is born from absorbing the cold between heaven and earth, so even though it’s water, its coldness can rival the Manifold Mysterious Ice in the core regions of the Extreme North. However, it contains much more energy of heaven and earth—it must have felt invigorated when one washed the face just now. However, this isn’t a luxury that anyone can have—if someone else did not have Ice, he or she would’ve been frozen solid from a single touch. The chill from this bed made of Frigid Jade essence was more akin to a delicacy made from the origin energy of heaven and earth—except this delicious food’s temperature was a little on the low side.

The stone bed beneath should be made from the jade essence of a piece of Frigid Jade, and that is rarely seen even in the core regions of the Extreme North. With this bed made of Frigid Jade essence, no ice-type force would rebel, and it can calm the fires in your heart. You will never run the risk of going mad.

Forbidden Ground: A secret area located near Tang Wutong's Clear Sky Clan's house that houses a source soul rings.

Soul Land III

The clan location is still in the same hidden place as SL2, however, only the current unnamed clan head and several clansmen appeared as part of the war, with no appearance of the location.

Common Clan Member Appearances & Power

Soul Land II

After another moment, gray figures emerged soundlessly from within the clouds, and they formed a circle around Huo Yuhao at a distance when Wang Dong signaled to them. Every one of them looked high-spirited, and were between twenty-five to thirty-five years old. All of their eyes sparkled, and over twenty of them quickly formed a strict and orderly formation.

The grey-cloaked individuals finally spoke, their voices were organized and uniform. Nobody asked any questions, and it was obvious that they were extremely respectful toward Wang Dong. They leapt into the sky and vanished among the clouds. Huo Yuhao was astonished by their speed and realized that they were all probably at least Soul Kings (Rank 50+). Their movements were elegant, and their figures were agile, which meant that they probably had relatively high cultivation levels. Furthermore, they hadn’t flown using formless soul power, which was essentially the trademark of a soul engineer.

In the castle Huo Yuhao saw several clansmen. People clad in grey cloaks occasionally walked past them as they walked through the castle. Huo Yuhao could tell from their auras and their soul power fluctuations that the grey-cloaked individuals that he had encountered earlier were at the lowest level. Several grey-cloaked individuals possessed power that was unimaginably great; they were at least Soul Sages (Rank 70+). The Clear Sky Sect truly has many hidden greats and mighty beings! However, how can they live in such a steep and perilous mountain range?

At least ten middle-aged or elderly men (Elders) were with them in the hallway on the second floor.

Outside the peak, there were suddenly seven disciples in the Clear Sky Sect’s uniform, one who was middle-aged man around thirty years old. This burly middle-aged man from the Clear Sky Sect glared, and a strong aura was released from his body. Two yellow, three purple and three black soul rings rose from his body. The other six soul masters also released their soul rings. They were all five-ringed Soul Kings, and they all held a pitch-black hammer in their hands. The burly man shouted and lifted his Clear Sky Hammer. His first and third soul rings shone brightly. His Clear Sky Hammer rapidly increased in size as he lifted it up, and instantly turned into a huge hammer more than ten meters in length. The cross-section of the hammer’s head was already more than two meters in diameter.

Food

The food in Clear Sky Castle was much simpler than Huo Yuhao had expected. There weren’t any delicacies or particularly valuable food items. There was only an aromatic and tasty bowl of mushroom soup which left a deep impression in Huo Yuhao’s mind. Wang Dong said that the mushrooms had been boiled in chicken soup, after which they were ground up and mixed with the soup. He also said that they drank this soup every day. The co-heads drink wine.
