"Jun Xiaoyao, you've performed very well."
Cloud Battle sat cross-legged on a futon, bathed in shimmering light.
Powerful divine rays, like a waterfall, cascaded down.
It was as if phantom images of various worlds and the chanting of all beings rose and circulated around Cloud Battle.
As one of the two Ancient Ancestors of Jun Xiaoyao's lineage, Cloud Battle's strength was even greater than that of the Giant-level Cloud Ink, appearing unfathomable.
Of course, Jun Xiaoyao was now the Young Lord of the Yun Clan Emperor Clan.
Even the Ancient Ancestors of the other direct lineages were quite satisfied with Jun Xiaoyao, unable to find any flaws.
"Ancient Ancestor, you flatter me," Jun Xiaoyao said, his tone humble and appropriate.
"However, many things have happened this time."
"Whether it's the Fighting Heaven War Emperor or the Doomsday Divine Sect, they both brought great chaos to the Boundary Sea World in the past."
"This time, the Three Teachings are probably going to be in a frantic state."
"But our Eight Great Emperor Clans cannot stand idly by; we will eventually have to help."
"Especially the Doomsday Divine Sect, that is a huge threat to the entire Boundary Sea World."
Jun Xiaoyao heard this and said, "But for now, it's not necessary to directly intervene, is it?"
"That's natural, because we have something even more important to do."
"This matter may even concern the Family's fortune."
When Cloud Battle said this, his tone became much more serious.
Jun Xiaoyao also looked solemn.
Logically, ordinary matters would not require someone of Cloud Battle's level to personally speak with Jun Xiaoyao.
And since it was Cloud Battle speaking personally, and it concerned a major event related to the Family's fortune, it made Jun Xiaoyao pay close attention.
"Jun Xiaoyao, have you ever heard of the Xuanhuang Universe?" Cloud Battle asked.
"I haven't," Jun Xiaoyao replied truthfully.
"That's normal, after all, the Xuanhuang Universe is extremely ancient; it might not appear even once in an entire epoch."
"And what I want to tell you this time is that the Xuanhuang Universe might be about to appear."
Upon hearing this, a contemplative look flashed in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
Then, he spoke, "Is that Xuanhuang Universe a vast Multiverse?"
"Clever."
Cloud Battle chuckled, then continued, "That's right, the Xuanhuang Universe can be said to be the most ancient Multiverse in the Boundary Sea World, with a vast scope and rich resources."
Jun Xiaoyao sighed inwardly, feeling a bit strange.
One must know that even powerful entities like the Eight Great Emperor Clans only occupied a single Monoverse each.
And a single Monoverse was already extremely rich in resources, easily able to support billions upon billions of living beings.
Yet, that Xuanhuang Universe was actually a Multiverse.
It could be said that such Universes were rare in the entire Boundary Sea World.
Even powerful Emperor Clans could not fully occupy them.
Immediately, Cloud Battle also roughly explained the origins of the Xuanhuang Universe to Jun Xiaoyao.
The Xuanhuang Universe was an extremely ancient Multiverse.
Its first discovery could be traced back to ancient times.
It was an extremely mysterious and rich Universe that would periodically reveal its entrance based on the spatial tides of the Boundary Sea World.
Of course, the timing was completely uncertain; it might not appear even once in an epoch.
But once it appeared, it was definitely a super great Opportunity.
The rich resources and Opportunities within the Multiverse were absolutely unimaginable.
In the eyes of the various forces in the Boundary Sea World, the Xuanhuang Universe was definitely a prime target.
However, the Eight Great Emperor Clans, with their powerful ruling strength, monopolized the Xuanhuang Universe.
This meant that other forces could at most gain some benefits in the Xuanhuang Universe but could not truly divide up territory.
In fact, the Eight Great Emperor Clans all dreamed of controlling the Xuanhuang Universe.
Whichever Emperor Clan could completely control the Xuanhuang Universe would undoubtedly possess an absolute advantage and become the ultimate hegemon.
Of course, a vast Multiverse could not be so easily controlled.
Even powerful Emperor Clans found it difficult to completely occupy it by force.
What's more, within the Xuanhuang Universe, there were also so-called indigenous beings who formed numerous forces.
Some of the most top-tier forces among them were not much weaker in strength than the Eight Great Emperor Clans.
This was also why the Eight Great Emperor Clans found it difficult to conquer the Xuanhuang Universe.
After Cloud Battle's explanation, Jun Xiaoyao roughly understood the whole story.
The Xuanhuang Universe could be described as a coveted prize.
All Eight Great Emperor Clans wanted to monopolize it, but it was very difficult.
At this point, Cloud Ink said, "Actually, if our Yun Clan Emperor Clan wished, we could forcefully occupy the Xuanhuang Universe with military might."
"Although the indigenous forces within the Xuanhuang Universe are not weak, our Yun Clan Emperor Clan wouldn't be so wary of them."
"It's just that we're afraid the other seven Great Emperor Clans would take the Opportunity to cause trouble."
"Furthermore, the Boundary Sea World is likely to be turbulent in the future, and unprecedented changes may occur."
"If we start a major war at this time, consuming some of the Family's foundation, it would not be beneficial to our Yun Clan Emperor Clan then."
"So, unless absolutely necessary, the Family does not want to occupy it by force."
"In addition, the other Emperor Clans also do not want to start an Emperor Clan war; it would not benefit anyone."
"Therefore, this time, if the Xuanhuang Universe opens, the Eight Great Emperor Clans have agreed to mainly compete among the younger generation."
"This will be used to delineate the territory within the Xuanhuang Universe."
Cloud Ink's explanation made Jun Xiaoyao fully understand why he was specifically called.
Because Jun Xiaoyao was now the leader and pillar of the Yun Clan Emperor Clan's younger generation.
He could help the Yun Clan Emperor Clan gain an absolute advantage within the Xuanhuang Universe.
And Jun Xiaoyao also had the desire to help the Yun Clan Emperor Clan.
So he naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Two Ancient Ancestors, as a Junior, I am duty-bound to do things for the Family."
"Good!"
Seeing that Jun Xiaoyao did not hesitate in the slightest, Cloud Battle and the others were extremely pleased.
The competition within the Xuanhuang Universe was actually extremely dangerous, not to mention the presence of some powerful indigenous Prodigies.
Their strength was not much weaker than that of the Boundary Sea World's Prodigies.
Jun Xiaoyao's unhesitating agreement was enough to prove that he truly cared for the Yun Clan Emperor Clan.
"By the way, how did the two Ancient Ancestors know that the Xuanhuang Universe would open?"
Jun Xiaoyao asked.
Cloud Battle smiled slightly and flicked his hand.
Something fell towards Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao took it.
He found that it was an ancient bronze key.
The key looked unremarkable, at most a bit ancient, and nothing special could be discerned from it.
However, Jun Xiaoyao looked closely.
He could then perceive that on this ancient bronze key, some hidden patterns were faintly lit up.
"This item was found by someone from the Family in the Xuanhuang Universe before."
"It seems to have a great Karma with the entire Xuanhuang Universe."
"If this item shows anomalies, it means that the Xuanhuang Universe is about to open."
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly upon hearing this.
And if Chu Xiao were here, he would definitely be astonished.
Because the ancient bronze key in Jun Xiaoyao's hand was exactly the same as the key Chu Xiao had found in the Chu Clan Emperor Clan's hidden treasure in the Xuan Yang World before!
