Chapter 1684: Chu Xiao

Across the Boundary Sea, Jun Xiaoyao's name was spreading.

It could be said that Jun Xiaoyao was the heaven-defying talent who rose the fastest and made a name for himself in the Boundary Sea.

From the God-Sealing Stele to the birthday banquet of the Tantai Ancient Ancestor,

everyone was very curious about this new Young Master of the Yun Imperial Clan, the son of Emperor Tianya.

Would he be like the shining sun, eternally in the sky?

Or would he be like a comet, flashing and disappearing?

Everyone was curious about Jun Xiaoyao's next performance.

Just when news of Jun Xiaoyao was spreading like wildfire,

the appearance of another piece of news once again detonated the entire Boundary Sea world.

That was, the Jixia Academy, one of the Three Teachings, was about to open its mountain gates and recruit students widely.

This was absolutely huge news.

The Jixia Academy was the Confucian teaching among the Three Teachings.

It was also the top institution of the Boundary Sea.

And what was most commendable was that

the Jixia Academy had no harsh requirements for status or position for the students it recruited; it treated everyone equally.

Whether you were a disciple of an immortal force or came from the grassroots,

as long as you were not an extremely evil person or had any connection with the Black Calamity clans, you were qualified to participate in the entrance assessment.

And the rules of the Jixia Academy were famously strict.

It treated every student equally.

This avoided the situation where disciples with status and power in the academy would bully those loose cultivator disciples without any sect or faction.

Plus, the Jixia Academy housed the scriptures of ten thousand paths, which also had a huge attraction for those loose cultivators or heaven-defying talents of small sects.

So every time the Jixia Academy opened, the entire Boundary Sea would be stirred up.

Let alone those loose cultivator and small sect heaven-defying talents,

even some heaven-defying talents of major immortal forces, and even the Eight Great Imperial Clans, would go to study.

Because within the Jixia Academy, some classic scriptures and divine moves were unique and could not be found in the outside world.

Plus the movements of the Black Calamity clans,

heroes emerge in troubled times.

Many young heaven-defying talents had ambitions and wanted to study at the Jixia Academy, and then resist the Black Calamity clans.

If they could become the supreme gatekeeper in the future, their status would be completely different, and they would leave their names in history.

And just when news of the Jixia Academy was spreading like wildfire,

Jun Xiaoyao was cultivating peacefully in the Yun Imperial Clan, continuing to comprehend and refine the reward he obtained from the God-Sealing Stele: World Fragments.

To him, the attraction of the Jixia Academy was only the sign-in and the aura of vast righteousness.

As for the so-called classic scriptures and divine martial arts,

Jun Xiaoyao possessed the foundations of both the Jun Clan and the Yun Imperial Clan.

He could read and cultivate any technique of the Yun Imperial Clan at will.

And it would absolutely not be less than the collection of the Jixia Academy.

So for others, the Jixia Academy was a supreme institution,

but to Jun Xiaoyao, it was just so-so.

"If I'm not mistaken, that Chu Xiao should go to the Jixia Academy."

"After all, the academy is the inevitable place for the Son of Luck to grow," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

At this time, Yun Yusheng's respectful voice came from outside.

"Young Master, the news you ordered to be investigated has been brought back."

Yun Yusheng entered the Young Emperor Palace and handed a jade slip to Jun Xiaoyao.

"Did you find out?" Jun Xiaoyao took the jade slip.

Before, he had ordered Yun Yusheng to go to the Qingyang World to investigate the news behind Chu Xiao.

His divine sense moved, and his soul power permeated the jade slip, obtaining the intelligence within.

At first, the people investigating the intelligence indeed did not find any clues from the Chu family in the Qingyang World.

That Chu family was very plain and ordinary, originally a small family in a dynasty.

Later, under the leadership of Chu Xiao's rise,

it had now become the ruling power of the entire Qingyang World.

Although the ruling power of a small world was like dust in the eyes of the Yun Imperial Clan,

being able to develop from a small family into a ruling power was obviously not simple.

Later, the people investigating the intelligence began to gradually infiltrate the Chu family,

making friends, giving gifts, and climbing relationships with the high-level officials of the Chu family.

Finally, after completely infiltrating, they found a very key clue.

That was:

The ancestors of the Chu family in the Qingyang World seemed to have a background that was not simple.

It seemed to be related to a legendary, declined Imperial Clan.

"Chu Imperial Clan..."

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes showed a look of contemplation.

Now in the Boundary Sea, only the Eight Great Imperial Clans were known to everyone.

And the so-called Chu Imperial Clan had long disappeared from history for a long time.

That Chu Xiao and the Chu family were actually descendants of a branch of the Chu Imperial Clan, which was somewhat surprising.

However, Jun Xiaoyao was not too surprised.

After all, this fit the routine too well.

The family where the Son of Luck was located was a branch of a once-declined Imperial Clan.

Then the Son of Luck could restore the glory of the family again.

"This Chu Xiao, besides being the controller of the Time Book, is also a person of the declined Chu Imperial Clan."

Jun Xiaoyao had felt before that Chu Xiao's identity did not seem that simple.

Now it seemed, it was indeed so.

However, at that time, there was a trace of hatred for him hidden in the depths of Chu Xiao's eyes.

"Could it be that the Chu Imperial Clan was secretly destroyed by the Yun Imperial Clan?" Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

Only in this way could Chu Xiao's hatred for him be explained.

"It seems this matter needs to be asked of the predecessors."

Jun Xiaoyao made up his mind and went to find Elder Mo.

To Jun Xiaoyao, whether the Chu Imperial Clan was destroyed by the Yun Imperial Clan was actually not important.

Even if it were true, it didn't matter.

Jun Xiaoyao himself was not the kind of holy mother type of character who was righteous and upright.

This world was originally so cruel, survival of the fittest.

Even for the Jun Clan, the number of forces they had destroyed was countless.

There was no such thing as true justice and evil in this world; everything was just interest.

After finding Elder Mo, Jun Xiaoyao stated his question.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be interested in this ancient history."

Although Yun Mo did not know how Jun Xiaoyao became interested in this,

he told the truth.

"That relates to the once ancient Black Calamity."

"That was a terrifying calamity that affected the entire Boundary Sea world."

"Many worlds perished in that Black Calamity, and countless racial forces turned into the dust of history."

"The Chu Imperial Clan was indeed flourishing once, but in that key battle, important figures fell."

"Whether it was because of the Black Calamity clans or an internal traitor, it is actually hard to say clearly even now," Yun Mo said.

"So, my Yun Imperial Clan did not secretly take action against the Chu Imperial Clan at that time?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

Yun Mo laughed suddenly upon hearing this.

"Hehe, if my Yun Imperial Clan really wanted to take action against the Chu Imperial Clan, why would we need to use such low-class means to take action in secret?"

"Directly and openly starting an immortal war to destroy the Chu Imperial Clan is the style of my Yun Imperial Clan."

Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.

Put this way, the destruction of the Chu Imperial Clan should have nothing to do with the Yun Imperial Clan.

Elder Mo could not lie to him about such things; there was simply no need.

And this meant that the Chu Imperial Clan had misunderstood.

Then, in that ancient Black Calamity battle, who was the real internal traitor? ===== CHAPTER 1685 =====
