“It’s decided.”
Facing Gu Mingyuan’s question, Chu Lingxi’s face was resolute.
“Good, excellent, my dear daughter, you should’ve decided long ago.”
Hearing Chu Lingxi’s reply, Gu Mingyuan’s joy deepened, her face blooming with a smile. In her excitement, she even lifted Chu Lingxi and spun her around.
Normally, Gu Mingyuan was composed, even somewhat cold.
One could imagine how shocking her excited reaction was to Chu Xuanzhengfa and the others.
“Lingxi, what exactly did you promise your mother?”
Chu Xuanzhengfa asked curiously.
“Mother, put me down.”
Chu Lingxi said to Gu Mingyuan.
Surprisingly, Gu Mingyuan complied, setting Chu Lingxi down.
Then, Chu Lingxi walked to Chu Xuanzhengfa, showing an expression of hesitation, as if struggling to speak.
Thud—
Suddenly, Chu Lingxi knelt, bowing deeply to Chu Xuanzhengfa and the Chu Heavenly Clan’s leader.
“Lingxi, what’s wrong?”
Seeing this, the Chu Heavenly Clan leader hurried forward, helping Chu Lingxi up.
“Clan Leader, I’ve let the Chu Heavenly Clan down. I’m not worthy of being one of you.”
As she was helped up, Chu Lingxi trembled, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Lingxi, what’s going on?”
Seeing her like this, Chu Xuanzhengfa grew anxious.
In his panic, he looked to Gu Mingyuan for answers.
Unlike the nervous Chu Xuanzhengfa, Gu Mingyuan remained calm.
“Lingxi, just tell the truth. I believe the Clan Leader and the others will understand.”
Gu Mingyuan said to Chu Lingxi.
Hearing this, Chu Lingxi began wiping her tears, composing herself.
She then explained the situation to Chu Xuanzhengfa and the Clan Leader.
Chu Lingxi possessed both the Chu Heavenly Clan’s and the Wanzhou Ancient Clan’s bloodline powers.
To ensure Chu Lingxi could surpass her, when she was born, Gu Mingyuan used a secret technique to seal her Wanzhou Ancient Clan bloodline.
It wasn’t just sealing but refining it for enhancement.
Thanks to Gu Mingyuan’s efforts, Chu Lingxi could now wield both bloodline powers effectively.
Now, the Wanzhou Ancient Clan bloodline in Chu Lingxi was far stronger than Gu Mingyuan’s.
However, Chu Lingxi couldn’t fully control this power.
She could only harness a limited portion of it.
She even needed a treasure to boost her cultivation by one rank.
For her potent bloodline, this was a tremendous waste.
The issue stemmed from her Heavenly Bloodline.
Focusing more on her Heavenly Bloodline while managing both caused her to struggle with the stronger Wanzhou Ancient Clan bloodline.
So, Gu Mingyuan suggested Chu Lingxi abandon her Heavenly Bloodline’s power.
She proposed suppressing the Heavenly Bloodline to focus entirely on cultivating the Wanzhou Ancient Clan’s bloodline.
This would accelerate Chu Lingxi’s cultivation.
Initially, Chu Lingxi refused.
She’d rather progress slowly than suppress her Heavenly Bloodline, which she saw as her true essence.
But to catch up with Chu Feng, Chu Lingxi decided to suppress her Heavenly Bloodline and focus on the Wanzhou Ancient Clan’s bloodline.
Thus, the earlier scene unfolded.
“Silly girl, it’s only temporary suppression, not a permanent seal. Why make such a fuss?”
“Even if you permanently suppressed your Heavenly Bloodline, if it helps your cultivation, I’d support you as your father.”
“As long as your surname is Chu, you’re my daughter and a member of the Chu Heavenly Clan.”
Learning the truth, Chu Xuanzhengfa breathed a sigh of relief.
To him, it was a minor matter.
“Lingxi, your father’s right. Focus on your cultivation.”
“Family and friendship matter, but you’ve seen how dangerous the martial world is. To live securely, you need strong cultivation.”
“So, improving your cultivation is more important than anything.”
“As for bloodline powers, that’s trivial.”
The Chu Heavenly Clan leader also smiled reassuringly.
Hearing her father and the Clan Leader, Chu Lingxi’s burden lifted.
“Mother, when do we set off?” Chu Lingxi asked Gu Mingyuan.
“When do you want to leave?” Gu Mingyuan countered.
“Now,” Chu Lingxi replied.
…
Even neighboring starfields are separated by vast distances.
Chu Feng’s journey from the Great Thousand Upper Realm in the Ancestral Martial Starfield to the Reincarnation Upper Realm in the All Heavens Starfield was a long one.
Even with Master Liangqiu’s treasure, it took over ten days to arrive.
The moment he stepped out of the ancient teleportation array.
A new starfield’s world appeared before Chu Feng.
This was the Reincarnation Upper Realm of the All Heavens Starfield.
“This feeling, it’s been a while.”
Chu Feng’s face lit up with long-missed excitement.
Everything here was fresh—the flora, the air—full of novelty yet unfamiliarity.
Every new land promised an unknown journey.
It was all so foreign, yet waiting for Chu Feng to explore.
This was a feeling Chu Feng relished.
After all, he was never one for a quiet life.
Moreover, the All Heavens Starfield was the All Heavens Sect’s territory.
The All Heavens Sect had dared to try annexing the Ancestral Martial Starfield and nearly succeeded.
As someone from the Ancestral Martial Starfield, this infuriated Chu Feng.
Thus, when he decided to come here, he had no intention of leaving quietly.
Chu Feng resolved to cause a stir in the All Heavens Starfield.
Otherwise, his resentment wouldn’t be quelled.
