Chapter 1657: The Chu Family's Secret, the Former Chu I

on empty air, arms akimbo, his crystal hair shimmering with divine light, blowing in the wind.His appearance was peerless, sculpted by the heavens themselves, a handsome face as serene and placid as a...After the war ended, the Qingyang world also returned to peace.

And the Chu family behind Chu Xiao, without a doubt, became the first family in the Qingyang world.

However, everyone knows.

Even if the Chu family were the most powerful in the Qingyang world.

And the distant Tai Emperor Clan, one of the Eight Ancient Clans, remains out of reach.

or rather, there is no comparison between the two.

And at this moment, within a blessed paradise nestled within the Chu family.

Chu Xiao sat cross-legged, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.

His eyes held a resolute gleam.

You must catch up with Dàntái Qīngxuán's pace.

He also wants to let that arrogant Dantai Imperial Clan know.

He Chu Xiao, is definitely not some ant.

but is destined to soar through the heavens like a true dragon.

In Chu Xiao's hand, the Universe Gourd, sculpted like jade, floated and sank.

< There seemed to be an extremely special aura pervading the air. >

Just as Chu Xiao was about to cultivate using the Qiankun gourd,

Outside this blessed haven, a voice echoed.

"Xiao'er…"

"Father."

At a glance, Chu Xiao saw a middle-aged man walk in.

It was Chu Xiao's father.

"Father, what is the matter" Chu Xiao asked.

Chu Xiao's father pondered for a while, his eyes seeming to hold a hint of hesitation.

But in the end, he finally spoke.

"Xiao'er, do you like Qingxuan"

"That goes without saying." Chu Xiao said.

"Actually, there's one thing I've always wanted to tell you as your father."

Chu Xiao's father hesitated, sighed.

"Father, what on earth is going on"

Chu Xiao frowned.

"Xiao'er, you are indeed very excellent."

"Our Chu family, originally, was just an ordinary family in a small country."

"and now, it has become a prominent family in the entire Qingyang world."

"But, Xiao'er, our Chu family is actually not that simple," Chu Xiao's father said.

"Father, what are you trying to say" Chu Xiao's brows furrowed.

Vaguely, he felt his father seemed about to say something earth-shattering.

"If you were to tell anyone, actually, your background should have been stronger than Qingxuan's." Chu Xiao's father suddenly said.

"What" Chu Xiao was startled.

His gaze, filled with a hint of surprise, fell upon his own father.

"Actually, according to the records of our Chu family's ancestral home, our current Chu family is a branch of the ancient Chu family."

"And that Chu family from long ago, had another name, namely…”

"The Chu Imperial Clan!"

Chu Xiao's father's one sentence left Chu Xiao completely stunned, speechless.

My mind was thundering.

They, the Chu family, are a branch descended from the ancient Chu Imperial Clan

"Father, what is going on"

"The Chu Imperial Clan, but...now there is no Chu Imperial Clan among the Eight Great Imperial Clans"

Chu Xiao was truly baffled.

After Dantai Qingxuan left, he deliberately investigated the so-called Eight Great Imperial Clans.

The more I investigate, the more desperate I feel.

In the world of the Kai Sea, the Eight Ancient Tribes were almost like overlords.

Now, his father actually told him that they were actually born into the Chu Imperial Clan.

“Indeed, in the current Eight Great Imperial Clans, there is no Chu Clan because…”

"I, the Chu Imperial Clan, fragmented long ago."

As for the reasons behind its disintegration, the records are not very clear, and it could be due to multiple factors.

But one very important reason is that my Chu clan's ancestors seem to have participated in a vast war against the Black Calamity.

“That is to say, in that battle, the strongest group of ancestors from the Chu imperial clan fell.”

"That may be one of the reasons why my Chu Imperial Clan fell."

Chu Xiao's father's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of hatred as he spoke here.

"That...was the Black Plague Clan that caused the ancestors' fall" Chu Xiao asked.

"No..."

Chu Xiao's father said this, his eyes fixed on Chu Xiao.

According to records, the reason for the fall of the ancients is inextricably linked to a lineage of imperial clans.

"Which branch of the imperial clan" Chu Xiao asked.

"Yun Clan Imperial Family!"

Chu Xiao's father said, word by word.

"The Cloud Clan Imperial Family…"

Chu Xiao's lips trembled slightly.

He had previously investigated information about the Eight Great Clans.

...according to the message. ...

The Eight Great Divine Clans, each with boundless foundations, have no fundamental difference in strength.

But among the Imperial Clans, there are still some differences in strength.

And the Yun clan imperial family, it is rumored, was one of the top few among the Eight Great Imperial Clans.

Even...

It is secretly thought by some powers to be the first and most prosperous of the Eight Great Imperial Clans.

is also a dominant force.

Of course, this is just the opinion of some other factions.

However, from this alone, one can see that the Yun Clan Emperor Family, even among the Eight Great Emperor Families, is an absolute top-tier existence.

And the reason for the Chu clan's imperial family's demise was, surprisingly, linked to the Yun clan's imperial family.

This was definitely beyond Chu Xiao's expectations.

"But why would the Yun Clan Imperial Family attack my Chu Clan Imperial Family" Chu Xiao still had doubts.

Chu Xiao's father then spoke in a grave voice.

"Need we ask further According to records, the eight ancient tribes originally... should have been among the nine ancient tribes."

"I, Chu Shi Emperor Clan, am among the best, second to none."

"That Yun Clan Imperial Family was extremely ambitious, wanting to become the strongest among the Nine Great Imperial Families. Therefore, they secretly framed my Chu Clan Imperial Family's ancestors."

"After the fall of my ancestors from the Chu imperial clan, the fortunes of our family have declined steadily."

"On the contrary, it was the Yun Clan Imperial Family who seized the opportunity to ascend to power. Now, you know how prosperous the Yun Clan Imperial Family is."

Chu Xiao's father spoke, his tone laced with iciness.

Although they are from the Chu family, they can only be considered a rather insignificant branch of the former Chu Imperial Clan.

But within, it is still flowing with the bloodline of the Chu Imperial Clan.

"I see," Chu Xiao murmured to himself.

He didn't bother to discern whether his father was right or wrong.

Since it's recorded, it should be accurate.

And such a distant story, Chu Xiao could not possibly go to verify.

"I never told you before because my Chu family hasn't had the ability yet."

"And I don't want to put too much pressure on you either."

But now, you have become the Lord of the Azure Sun World, and are therefore qualified to know these secrets.” Chu Xiao’s father said.

"Originally, my background was supposed to be the same as Qingxuan's..."

Chu Xiao's fists clenched slowly.

He also somewhat understood why he had such good fortune.

Apart from this treasure, the Qiankun gourd.

He himself, originally also had the bloodline of the imperial clan.

"So, Xiao'er, in terms of bloodline and ancestry, you are not actually inferior to that Qingxuan girl."

"It's just that our Chu clan, the imperial family, has fallen into decline." Chu Xiao's father sighed.

Chu Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Father, I understand."

"Qingxuan, she is the woman I have chosen as my wife. Even if the Dantang Imperial Clan opposes us, I will bring her back."

"There's still the Yun Emperor Clan…" Chu Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a hint of coldness.

"Xiao'er, don't be impulsive. The Yun Clan is not someone you can handle." Chu Xiao's father's heart skipped a beat.

Let alone Chu Xiao alone.

Even if the once-mighty Chu imperial clan were to rise again, they would not dare to stand against the Yun imperial clan.

After all, the Yun Clan's Imperial Family is too well-hidden, with an unfathomable foundation.

"Father, my son understands. I will not be so impulsive." Chu Xiao smiled faintly.

After a while of conversation, Chu Xiao's father also left.

The entire blessed land was left with only Chu Xiao.

He raised his hand, the Universe Cauldron revolving with a peculiar aura.

"Without this treasure, I might not have been able to bring Qingxuan back, nor could I have avenged the Chu Imperial Clan."

But with it, I would absolutely have hope! Reincarnation Fist surged forth, a torrent threatening to drag one into the cycle of rebirth, crushing them into dust.The surrounding space was torn to shreds by six vortexes of reincarnation.And the...
