After the great battle concluded, the Qingyang World also returned to tranquility.
The Chu Family, behind Chu Xiao, undoubtedly became the number one Family in the Qingyang World.
However, everyone knew.
No matter how strong the Chu Family was in the Qingyang World.
There was still an insurmountable distance between them and the Tantai Imperial Clan, one of the Eight Great Emperor Clans of ancient times.
Or rather, there was simply no comparability between the two.
At this moment, within a blessed land in the Chu Family.
Chu Xiao sat cross-legged, absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
There was a look of determination in his eyes.
He absolutely had to catch up to Tantai Qingxuan's pace.
At the same time, he also wanted to let that arrogant Tantai Imperial Clan know.
He, Chu Xiao, was definitely not some ant.
Instead, he was a True Dragon destined to ascend to the Nine Heavens.
In Chu Xiao's hand, the Qiankun Gourd, carved like jade, floated erratically.
Faintly, a very special Qi surged.
Just as Chu Xiao was about to Cultivate with the help of the Qiankun Gourd.
A voice came from outside this blessed land.
"Xiao'er..."
"Father."
Chu Xiao looked over, and a middle-aged man walked in.
It was Chu Xiao's father.
"Father, what is it?" Chu Xiao asked.
Chu Xiao's father pondered for a moment, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
But in the end, he still spoke.
"Xiao'er, do you like Qingxuan very much?"
"That is natural," Chu Xiao said.
"Actually, there's something I've never told you."
Chu Xiao's father sighed, his tone hesitant.
"Father, what exactly is it?"
Chu Xiao frowned.
"Xiao'er, you are indeed excellent."
"Our Chu Family was originally just an ordinary Family in a small country."
"And now, it has become a major Family in the entire Qingyang World."
"But, Xiao'er, our Chu Family is actually not that simple," Chu Xiao's father said.
"Father, what exactly are you trying to say?" Chu Xiao's brows furrowed.
Faintly, he felt that his father was about to reveal something monumental.
"What if I told you that your background shouldn't be weaker than Qingxuan's?" Chu Xiao's father suddenly said.
"What?" Chu Xiao's mind shook.
His gaze, filled with surprise, turned to his father.
"Actually, according to the records in our Chu Family's ancestral texts, our current Chu Family is a branch of the ancient Chu Family from a long time ago."
"And that ancient Chu Family had another name, which was..."
"The Chu Clan Emperor Clan!"
Chu Xiao's father's words left Chu Xiao completely stunned, frozen in place.
It was as if thunder rumbled in his mind.
Their Chu Family was a branch of the Chu Clan Emperor Clan from a long time ago?
"Father, what exactly is going on?"
"The Chu Clan Emperor Clan, but... there's no Chu Clan Emperor Clan among the current Eight Great Emperor Clans?"
Chu Xiao was truly confused.
After Tantai Qingxuan left, he had deliberately investigated the so-called Eight Great Emperor Clans.
The more he investigated, the more despair he felt.
The Eight Great Emperor Clans were almost hegemonic existences in the Boundary Sea World.
Yet now, his father was telling him that they were actually born from the Chu Clan Emperor Clan.
"Indeed, there is no Chu Clan Emperor Clan among the current Eight Great Emperor Clans, and that is because..."
"Our Chu Clan Emperor Clan disintegrated a long time ago."
"As for the reason for its disintegration, the records are unclear; there might be multiple reasons."
"But among them, a very important reason is that our Chu Clan Emperor Clan's ancestors seemed to have participated in a vast war against the Black Calamity Race."
"It was during that battle that the strongest group of our Chu Clan Emperor Clan's ancestors perished."
"That might be one of the root causes of our Chu Clan Emperor Clan's decline."
As Chu Xiao's father spoke, a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.
"Then... was it the Black Calamity Race that caused the ancestors to perish?" Chu Xiao asked.
"No..."
As Chu Xiao's father said this, his gaze fixed on Chu Xiao.
"According to records, the reason for the ancestors' demise is inextricably linked to an Emperor Clan."
"Which Emperor Clan?" Chu Xiao asked.
"The Yun Clan Emperor Clan!"
Chu Xiao's father enunciated each word.
"The Yun Clan Emperor Clan..."
Chu Xiao's lips trembled slightly.
He had previously investigated news about the Eight Great Emperor Clans.
And according to the news.
The Eight Great Emperor Clans all possessed boundless and powerful foundations, with no fundamental difference in strength between them.
However, there was still some distinction in strength among the Emperor Clans.
And the Yun Clan Emperor Clan, according to rumors, was one of the top two existences among the Eight Great Emperor Clans.
Even...
It was subtly considered by some forces to be the head of the Eight Great Emperor Clans, the most prosperous Emperor Clan.
And the one that held sway.
Of course, these were just some views from other forces.
But from this, it could be seen that the Yun Clan Emperor Clan was an absolute top-tier existence, even among the Eight Great Emperor Clans.
And the reason for their Chu Clan Emperor Clan's destruction was actually related to the Yun Clan Emperor Clan.
This was absolutely beyond Chu Xiao's expectations.
"But why would the Yun Clan Emperor Clan attack our Chu Clan Emperor Clan?" Chu Xiao still had questions.
Chu Xiao's father said gravely,
"Why do you even need to ask? According to records, back then, among the Eight Great Emperor Clans, no... it should be among the Nine Great Emperor Clans of ancient times."
"Our Chu Clan Emperor Clan was among the top, one of the best."
"That Yun Clan Emperor Clan was extremely ambitious, wanting to become the strongest among the Nine Great Emperor Clans, and thus secretly plotted against our Chu Clan Emperor Clan's ancestors."
"After our Chu Clan Emperor Clan's ancestors perished, our Family's Luck declined day by day."
"On the contrary, the Yun Clan Emperor Clan took advantage of the opportunity to rise, and you already know of the Yun Clan Emperor Clan's current prosperity."
Chu Xiao's father's tone carried coldness.
Although their Chu Family could only be considered an inconspicuous collateral branch of the original Chu Clan Emperor Clan.
Their bodies, after all, still flowed with the Bloodline of the Chu Clan Emperor Clan.
"So that's how it is..." Chu Xiao murmured to himself.
He didn't try to discern whether his father's words were right or wrong.
Since it was recorded, it should be accurate.
Moreover, Chu Xiao couldn't verify such ancient events.
"I didn't tell you before because our Chu Family didn't have the capability yet."
"And I didn't want to put too much pressure on you."
"But now, you have become the master of the Qingyang World, and you are qualified to know these secrets," Chu Xiao's father said.
"Originally, my background should have been the same as Qingxuan's..."
Chu Xiao's fists slowly clenched.
He also finally understood why he possessed such Luck.
Aside from the Qiankun Gourd, that supreme treasure.
He himself originally had an Emperor Clan Bloodline.
"So, Xiao'er, in terms of Bloodline and origin, you are actually no worse than Qingxuan."
"It's just that our Chu Clan Emperor Clan has declined," Chu Xiao's father sighed.
Chu Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Father, your son understands."
"Qingxuan is the wife I have chosen; even if the Tantai Imperial Clan obstructs me, I will bring her back."
"And the Yun Clan Emperor Clan..." Chu Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a hint of coldness.
"Xiao'er, don't be impulsive. The Yun Clan Emperor Clan is definitely not something you can deal with." Chu Xiao's father's heart tightened.
Let alone Chu Xiao alone.
Even if the once prosperous Chu Clan Emperor Clan reappeared, they wouldn't dare say they could contend with the Yun Clan Emperor Clan.
After all, the Yun Clan Emperor Clan was too deeply hidden, with unfathomable foundations.
"Father, your son understands. Your son won't be that impulsive." Chu Xiao smiled slightly.
After some conversation, Chu Xiao's father also left.
Only Chu Xiao remained in the entire blessed land.
He raised his hand, and the Qiankun Gourd radiated a peculiar glow.
"Without this treasure, I might truly be unable to bring Qingxuan back, and avenge the Chu Clan Emperor Clan."
"But with it, I definitely have hope!"
