“First and foremost, the Starfield Master Realm is the undisputed hegemon of the Ancestral Martial Starfield—a fact known to all.
Beyond the Starfield Master Realm, the Ten Celestial Clans cannot be overlooked.
The Ten Celestial Clans, ranked from strongest to weakest, are as follows:
1. Linghu Celestial Clan
2. Tantai Celestial Clan
3. Jiaoli Celestial Clan
4. Moyi Celestial Clan
5. Shangfang Celestial Clan
6. Zuoqiu Celestial Clan
7. Wuma Celestial Clan
8. Puyang Celestial Clan
9. Tang Celestial Clan
10. Li Celestial Clan
Among the Ten Celestial Clans, the Linghu, Tantai, and Jiaoli Celestial Clans stand out as the strongest.
They’re singled out because each of these three clans has Supreme Realm experts guarding them.
This highlights the status of the Supreme Realm in the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
It also explains why, back at the ancient ruins, people were so terrified of Chu Feng once they learned Yuexian was a Supreme Realm expert.
Aside from the Ten Celestial Clans, there are three other formidable clans in the Ancestral Martial Starfield:
1. Wanzhou Ancient Clan
2. Nightmare Ghost Clan
3. Tongtian Beast Clan
Though these three clans lack heavenly bloodlines, they possess their own unique bloodline powers, making them exceptionally strong.
‘Little friend Chu Feng, you should know something about the Wanzhou Ancient Clan, right? After all, your clan’s Chu Xuanzhengfa had a daughter with the Wanzhou Ancient Clan’s princess, Gu Mingyuan. That girl’s name is Chu Lingxi, if I recall correctly.’
‘Speaking of which, that Chu Xuanzhengfa has some skill. Though Gu Mingyuan later refused to marry him, she still acknowledged the child as theirs,'” the Wuma Celestial Clan leader said, naturally bringing up the affair between Chu Xuanzhengfa and Gu Mingyuan when mentioning the Wanzhou Ancient Clan.
“I’ve heard of Senior Chu Xuanzhengfa and the Wanzhou Ancient Clan princess, but I always assumed they were married,” Chu Feng replied.
“Married? Impossible. That’s Gu Mingyuan we’re talking about.
You should know, back in the day, there was a saying in the Ancestral Martial Starfield:
‘For men, there’s Chu Xuanyuan; for women, there’s Gu Mingyuan.’ That girl’s talent was extraordinary. The Wanzhou Ancient Clan’s current standing doesn’t rest on their clan leader—it’s because of her,” the Wuma Celestial Clan leader explained.
“No wonder there seems to be no connection between my Chu Celestial Clan and the Wanzhou Ancient Clan,” Chu Feng mused inwardly.
With the Wanzhou Ancient Clan so powerful and Gu Mingyuan not recognizing Chu Xuanzhengfa as her husband, it made sense they had little to do with the Chu Celestial Clan.
“I’ve heard that Chu Lingxi’s talent is remarkable too. Little friend Chu Feng, do you know how strong she is now?” the Wuma Celestial Clan leader asked, drawing Wuma Shengjie’s curious gaze as well.
Chu Lingxi was Gu Mingyuan’s daughter, after all, so they were keen to know her strength.
“Lingxi?
I only know she was taken away by her mother. I have no idea how she’s doing now.
But with her mother guiding her, she’s probably made great strides,” Chu Feng said, a trace of fondness stirring in his heart at the mention of Chu Lingxi.
Among the entire Chu Celestial Clan, Chu Feng’s bond with Chu Lingxi was likely the closest.
After all, she had stood by his side when the clan refused to acknowledge him.
Her place in his heart was unmatched by other clan members.
“Taken by Gu Mingyuan? Then the Ancestral Martial Starfield might soon see another extraordinary genius rise,” the Wuma Celestial Clan leader said, his anticipation growing at the thought of Chu Lingxi being personally trained by Gu Mingyuan.
“Without a doubt,” Chu Feng said, brimming with confidence in Chu Lingxi.
“Oh, right, Chu Feng, besides these clans, there are also three cities in the Ancestral Martial Starfield:
1. Demon Clan Holy City
2. Divine Body Royal City
3. Ancestral Martial Dragon City
The strength of these three cities is, frankly, not inferior to the Linghu, Tantai, or Jiaoli Celestial Clans.
That’s because they too have Supreme Realm experts guarding them.
By the way, the Insect Mark Saint-cloak World Spiritist Lord Wuming Fenghuo mentioned earlier, Master Longxuan, hails from the Ancestral Martial Dragon City,” the Wuma Celestial Clan leader added.
“I never imagined the Ancestral Martial Starfield had so many powerful forces.
Senior, since the Wanzhou Ancient Clan and those three clans are so strong, why don’t their juniors participate in the Ancestral Martial Ten Stars selection?” Chu Feng asked.
From the Wuma Celestial Clan leader’s earlier explanation, Chu Feng had learned the current Ancestral Martial Ten Stars rankings:
From strongest to weakest:
1. Linghu Hongfei
2. Linghu Yueyue
3. Linghu Tiemian
4. Tantai Xing’er
5. Linghu Mingye
6. Linghu Lun
7. Mengyan Wushuang
8. Tongtian Yuanming
9. Tang Zhenghao
10. Li Anzhi
The Linghu Celestial Clan dominated with five spots, a testament to their overwhelming strength.
Beyond them, the Tantai Celestial Clan, Nightmare Ghost Clan, Tongtian Beast Clan, Tang Celestial Clan, and Li Celestial Clan each claimed one spot.
“The Wanzhou Ancient Clan does participate, but since Gu Mingyuan, no one has managed to break into the Ancestral Martial Ten Stars.
That’s understandable, though. A strong clan doesn’t guarantee strong juniors. Many factions lack successors, and it’s not rare for someone to show no promise within their first hundred years, only to rise suddenly after. It doesn’t define everything.
As for the three cities, they’ve always stayed out of the Ancestral Martial Starfield’s affairs. Unless provoked, they don’t interfere.
Though their fame shakes the starfield and even the Starfield Master Realm can’t ignore them, they live in a state of semi-reclusion, uninterested in fame or power,” the Wuma Celestial Clan leader explained.
“I see. Thank you for the guidance, Senior,” Chu Feng said.
“Chu Feng, if you can break the seal on this girl early and join the Ancestral Martial Ten Stars selection, with your strength, you don’t need to worry too much about most of them.
But you can’t underestimate Linghu Yueyue, Linghu Tiemian, and Tantai Xing’er—especially Linghu Yueyue. She’s the Linghu Celestial Clan’s top junior after Linghu Hongfei, and her strength is exceptional,” the Wuma Celestial Clan leader cautioned.
“I don’t think any of them are worth fearing. I only need to watch out for one person,” Chu Feng said.
“Who’s that?” the Wuma Celestial Clan leader asked, intrigued.
Chu Feng didn’t answer directly. Instead, he turned with a playful smile toward Wuma Shengjie beside him.
