Chapter 487: The Younger Generation of the Gu Clan: Fists are Clenched!
"By the way, you should have the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Tomb this time," Elder Gu Lan said to Xiao Ze. "The Heavenly Tomb is located at the border between the Ancient Realm and the Xiao Realm. According to agreements among the ancient clans, it is a shared training ground for the eight clans. Although the Xiao Clan has fallen, as long as you possess the Xiao Clan's bloodline, you have the right to enter."
"Thank you, Elder Gu Lan," Xiao Ze responded, bowing slightly.
"Alright, you can go rest for now. The Ancient Realm is vast, and even with the speed of the warship, it will take half a day to reach the core area, the Ancient Holy Mountain," Gu Lan said before disappearing. He didn't elaborate on the origins of the Heavenly Tomb, assuming that Xun'er had already informed Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze stood there for a moment, pondering, before heading back to the location sensed by his Origin Tree. Shortly after, he reached the cabin where Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were resting.
"Young Master Xiao Ze, what did that Gu Clan elder want?" Qing Lin asked.
"He told me some secrets about the Xiao Clan. The Xiao Clan was once one of the most powerful Dou Emperor families on the continent," Xiao Ze explained, not hiding much and sharing what he had learned with Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin.
Both Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were surprised to hear that Xiao Ze's ancestors were top-tier powerhouses on the continent. They both knew the humble beginnings of the Xiao Clan. Before Xiao Ze showcased his talent, the Xiao Clan wasn't even the dominant family in Wutan City of the Jia Ma Empire, competing with two other families, and the clan leader was merely a Great Fighter.
Given such circumstances, learning that the Xiao Clan had once been a mighty family with a Dou Emperor ancestor was shocking. The contrast was enormous. What kind of cataclysmic event could cause such a fall from grace?
They both listened with deep interest as Xiao Ze recounted how the Xiao Clan's ancestor gathered the clan's bloodline power to attempt a breakthrough to Dou Emperor, only to fail and lead to the clan's downfall. This gave them a deeper understanding of the unpredictability of life and the true nature of the Dou Emperor bloodline.
Not long after, the warship shook slightly, and the surrounding spatial fluctuations gradually subsided. People began to leave their cabins. The vast expanse of mountains came into view.
Stepping out of the cabin, Xiao Ze looked towards the distant Ancient Holy Mountain and felt something, turning his gaze towards a particular peak. There, amidst the misty mountains, stood a serene, ethereal figure in blue.
"That girl, she's out of seclusion but didn't even tell me," Xiao Ze thought, sensing the hidden power in Xun'er's presence. She had reached the high level of Half-Saint, just a step away from becoming a One-Star Dou Saint. It seemed that she left her seclusion early for the Ancient Clan's coming-of-age ceremony and his arrival.
Xun'er's appearance also caught the attention of many young members of the Ancient Clan on the ten warships. The Black Armor Guards, whether ordinary soldiers or commanders, all had a touch of admiration in their eyes when they looked at her. Some knew they were far beneath her and could only admire from a distance, while others were confident in their own abilities and thought they were worthy of her.
However, the young members of the Ancient Clan couldn't help but wonder why this rarely seen, illustrious girl had suddenly appeared here.
"Welcome, honored guests of the Ancient Clan, to the Ancient Holy Mountain. Please proceed," Gu Lan's voice echoed around.
People began moving towards the Ancient Holy Mountain, where there were specially prepared accommodations for the guests. Xun'er, ethereal and graceful, walked on air, her skirt fluttering like an immortal descending from the clouds. Under countless gazes, she approached the warships and stopped outside.
The appearance of the blue-clad girl drew everyone's attention. Her ethereal beauty made everything else pale in comparison. Her exquisite features were enough to enchant the world, and her deep, star-like eyes were unforgettable.
"A beauty that can topple kingdoms and cities!" people thought in unison.
Even the most perfect man would feel inferior before such a girl. Xiao Ze and Xun'er exchanged smiles before he leaped to her side.
"When did you leave seclusion?" he asked.
"Just a day ago. I wanted to surprise you, Brother Xiao Ze," Xun'er replied. After a brief exchange, she threw herself into his arms like a bird returning to its nest, holding him tightly. Being reunited in the Ancient Realm, Xun'er wanted to declare to everyone that Xiao Ze was her chosen one.
Instantly, countless astonished gazes turned to Xiao Ze. The visiting guests were merely surprised, but the Black Armor Guards reacted differently. If looks could kill, Xiao Ze would have been riddled with holes. The elite guards, with their tight grips on their spears, felt their fists clench involuntarily.
She was the pride of the Ancient Clan, the most revered existence, admired by countless young talents of the clan. She was a distant dream, now in the arms of a stranger. The commanders wore varied expressions, some narrowing their eyes, others breathing heavily, fixating on Xiao Ze.
Feeling the intense emotions in those gazes, Xiao Ze didn't reject Xun'er's embrace. He understood she was making a statement about their relationship. Realizing this, he knew Xun'er hadn't revealed his identity and strength to the clan. Their relationship was only known among the elders.
Xiao Ze didn't mind. With his current strength as a Two-Star Dou Saint, he wouldn't be bothered by challenges from the young generation of the Ancient Clan. If they let their emotions cloud their judgment, Xiao Ze wouldn't hesitate to show them the vast difference between Dou Zong and Dou Sheng.
