54: Chu Tianqiong, a disciple of the Chu family!

In the Chu Family Forbidden Ground, Chu Changge brought his 'benefactor' to meet several Old Ancestors of the Chu Family.

Chu Hao feigned nervousness, cautiously following behind Chu Changge.

"Is this the young hero who infiltrated the Xiao Family and burned down their Scripture Pavilion? So young, yet he already possesses Peak King Realm cultivation. Truly impressive!"

A Chu Family Ancestors instantly discerned Chu Hao's true cultivation, exclaiming in admiration.

"This Little Fellow even possesses a Divine Body! However, what kind of Divine Body is it?"

Another Chu Family Ancestors discovered Chu Hao's extraordinary nature, but after Chu Hao employed a secret technique, he couldn't determine which Divine Body Chu Hao possessed.

After a few exclamations of admiration, an Old Ancestor finally began to inquire about the main matter.

"Little Fellow, what is your name? Besides you, are there any other Chu Family members in your Family?"

Chu Hao cupped his fists and respectfully replied, "To the Old Ancestors, this Little Fellow's name is Chu Haos alias, and besides myself, there are no other members in my Family!"

Hearing these words, the Chu Family Ancestorss showed expressions of heartache.

A Chu Family Disciple with such talent, yet he was left to wander outside. This was a disgrace to their Chu Family.

Allowing such an excellent clansman to wander outside—if this were to spread, wouldn't it make other families laugh at them?

A Chu Family Ancestors then spoke.

"Little Fellow, you have done well. Is there anything you desire? As long as this Old Ancestor can achieve it, I will grant it to you!"

Chu Hao's interest was piqued upon hearing this. He raised an eyebrow and tentatively asked,

"Old Ancestor, what if I said I wanted to become the Divine Son of the Chu Family? Would the Old Ancestor accept?"

Chu Hao was so bold as to openly state his desire to take Chu Changge's position as Divine Son, right beside him.

This was something Chu Changge had not expected.

Nor was it something these several Chu Family Ancestorss had expected.

Their expressions stiffened, and their smiles became a bit subdued as they said, "Little Fellow, the position of Divine Son in our Chu Family has already been decided. If you wish to contend for the Divine Son position, you may challenge the current Divine Son at the Family Grand Competition one year from now. If you can win, you will be the new Divine Son of our Chu Family!"

Chu Hao smiled upon hearing this: "To the Old Ancestor, this Disciple was merely speaking, and does not truly have this idea. What this Disciple actually desires is only one thing: to return to the Chu Family, to have a place to live within the Family.

And then to enjoy the same Cultivation treatment as other Chu Family Disciples!"

Listening to Chu Hao's words, the smiles of these Old Ancestors finally returned to their original warmth.

"This request is not excessive; this Old Ancestor can grant it to you!"

"In that case, Little Ritian, you are a meritorious official of our Chu Family, so your Cultivation treatment naturally cannot be ordinary. Your treatment will be the same as that of our Chu Family's True Disciples! How about it?"

Chu Hao nodded: "Thank you, Old Ancestor!"

After making arrangements for Chu Hao, Chu Changge then led him out of the Family Forbidden Ground.

Chu Changge was currently leading Chu Hao to the Immortal Cave arranged for his Cultivation by the Family.

That the Old Ancestors personally ordered him, the Divine Son, to lead the way showed that they were quite fond of Chu Hao.

On the way, Chu Hao asked with a somewhat mischievous air,

"Divine Son, did what I said just now offend you?"

Chu Changge was momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting Chu Hao to ask him that.

He shook his head and said, "No, it's just a trivial matter. This Divine Son is not so petty as to remember such minor things for so long!"

"Moreover, there is an unwritten rule in our Chu Family: every Chu Family Disciple aspires to become the Divine Son of the Chu Family. Anyone who doesn't want to be the Divine Son is not a good Chu Family Disciple."

"Therefore, at the beginning of each year, a Family Grand Competition is held. Only by winning can you continue to serve as the Divine Son; if you lose, you must yield the Divine Son position!"

"Brother Ritian, if you wish to become the Divine Son of the Chu Family, then you must work hard, as the competition each year is very fierce!"

Listening to this information, a smile appeared on Chu Hao's face.

"Rest assured, Divine Son, I will definitely work hard and not disappoint you!"

Chu Changge also smiled and said, "Good! This Divine Son looks forward to your performance next year."

In the hearts of both Chu Changge and Chu Hao, a silent thought echoed: 'I hope you can still be alive next year!'

With smiles on their faces, the two arrived at a Cultivation Immortal Cave.

Chu Changge pointed to the Cultivation Immortal Cave and said, "Little Fellow, this is the Cultivation Immortal Cave the Old Ancestors arranged for you. This will be your home. Although you are not a True Disciple of our Chu Family, the Cultivation Immortal Cave you live in is no worse than those of the True Disciples!"

"I hope you don't do anything foolish in the future, understand?"

Chu Hao nodded, then walked alone into his Cultivation Immortal Cave.

After seeing him off, Chu Changge turned and left.

He was not returning to his Divine Sons Residence, but instead heading to another place... the First True Disciple, Chu Tianqiong.

This True Disciple was the one who had absorbed the Origin of Chu Hao's Supreme Divine Body back then.

Due to limitations in his innate talent, he only absorbed and refined a portion of the Supreme Divine Body's Origin, and thus did not fully inherit Chu Hao's Supreme Divine Body.

He only possessed a Supreme Saint-Grade Physique.

Although its overall efficacy and power were far inferior to the Supreme Divine Body, he still became the strongest person in the Chu Family, apart from Chu Changge, by virtue of this Saint-Grade Physique.

"Tianqiong, are you there?"

Arriving at his Immortal Cave, Chu Changge called out.

"Divine Son Changge, why have you come to my place?"

A young man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, dressed in a blue and white robe, walked out of the Immortal Cave.

Upon seeing the visitor, his face was full of joy.

He had not forgotten that his achievements today were all thanks to Chu Changge; without him, there would be no Chu Tianqiong today.

At this moment, as Chu Changge looked at the young man before him, a panel appeared in his mind.

[Name: Chu Tianqiong]

[Cultivation: King Realm (First Layer)]

[Physique: Supreme Saint-Grade Physique, Azure Wood Spirit Physique]

[Cultivation Technique: Immovable King Cultivation Technique (Saint-Grade Sixth Rank), Heaven-Shrouding Divine Palm (Spirit Rank Seventh Rank), Mountain-Splitting Seal (Heaven-Grade Sixth Rank)...]

[Fate: Chu Family True Disciple (Blue)]

[Recent Events: Due to seizing Chu Hao's Supreme Divine Body Origin years ago, Chu Hao was severely injured. After Chu Hao infiltrated the Chu Family for a period of time and gained the trust of everyone in the Chu Family.

One month later, while on an outdoor training excursion, he was ambushed by Chu Hao. Chu Hao dug out the former Supreme Divine Body Origin, causing his own Supreme Saint-Grade Physique to disappear, his Cultivation talent to cease, and ultimately leading to him losing his True Disciple status and becoming an expendable cannon fodder in the Chu Family!]

Looking at Chu Tianqiong's tragic future,

Chu Changge said with a calm expression, "Tianqiong, there's bad news. Chu Hao, he's back!"
