Nine Seals Tongtian

1. Core setting: Nine Seals and Nine Divine Beasts There are nine traditional mythical beasts: Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu, Qilin (five auspicious things) + Taotie, Qiongqi, Taotao, and Chaos (four evils). Yinglong is not included in this list. It is the ancestor of dragons, the source of all dragons, and the ancestor of all beasts. In the ancient war, Yinglong was completely killed by the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty at a tragic price. His remains disintegrated and turned into nine dragon veins that ran through the world. The nine jade seals seal the nine divine beasts, not Yinglong. Tongtian Xi is a special jade seal. It does not seal any divine beasts, but is the royal seal that governs the Nine Seals. Its power comes from the source of the dragon's veins after Yinglong's death. Those who hold the Tongtian Seal can sense, mobilize, and even cut off any dragon vein. Nine seals are equal to nine seals plus one royal seal. There are only nine sealing locations, and the Tongtian Seal is the key, not the seal. 2. The connection logic between Jiuxi and the Eight Great Families After the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor gave eight jade seals to the eight princes, not as rewards but as shackles. The logical chain is as follows: Whoever defeats will guard. The eight princes each led their troops to defeat a divine beast. After the war, they were sealed in the place where the divine beast was sealed, and they could never leave without permission. The jade seal binds blood. Each jade seal is deeply bound to the bloodline of the guardian family. The jade seal is there, and the power is there. If the jade seal is lost, the seal is broken, the blood is broken, and the jade seal collapses. If there is no bloodline heir within three generations, the seal will automatically break down. Each of the eight major families became kings and divided their kingdoms. The Emperor Zhou was nominally the co-owner, but in fact the eight kings were not subordinate to each other. The ownership of the eighth jade seal: the nine sacred beasts, eight were given to the princes, and one is left. This jade seal has never been entrusted from the beginning.
