"Among the Ancient Clans, if there is someone even stronger than Huangfu Shengyu, what realm would that person be at?" Chu Feng asked.
"I've heard that Huangfu Shengyu once challenged all the top juniors from the Ancient Clans."
"He won almost every time, but he was defeated by Tuoba Yijian of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace," Zhao Gongyi said.
"Tuoba Yijian?" Chu Feng's heart skipped a beat. He had heard this name before.
Back in the Nine Realms Immortal Domain, not only had he encountered Zhang Yingxiong, but he had also met two powerful young men.
One was named Tuoba Tianxue, and the other was Tuoba Yijian.
Thinking of this, Chu Feng waved his sleeve, and the power of his formation condensed into the silhouette of a person.
It was the likeness of Tuoba Yijian.
"Is it him?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes, that's him. How do you know what he looks like? Do you know him?" Zhao Gongyi asked.
"He's a junior?" Chu Feng pressed.
"Of course he's a junior. He's even younger than I am," Zhao Gongyi said.
But Chu Feng clearly remembered that Tuoba Yijian had told him he was not a junior.
Then again, that was hardly strange. After all, they had simply crossed paths by chance at the time.
And since they hailed from the Ancient Clans, not revealing the truth to Chu Feng made perfect sense.
After all, with an eighth-grade Half God cultivation base, he was stronger than any current junior. If they didn't want to expose their identities, it was only natural to keep quiet about it.
So Chu Feng shifted his formation and condensed another silhouette.
This one depicted Tuoba Tianxue.
"Do you recognize him?" Chu Feng asked.
"That… I haven't seen him before," Zhao Gongyi said after studying the image carefully.
"Tell the truth," Chu Feng said. With a thought, the chains of martial force began to tighten.
Instantly, agonized screams rang out.
But it wasn't just Zhao Gongyi screaming — the other five geniuses cried out in pain as well.
"I recognize him, I recognize him!"
At that moment, the woman from the Blood Phoenix Royal Clan twisted her face in pain and raised her hand.
"Speak," Chu Feng said.
"It's Tuoba Tianxue. He's also a junior of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace. Rumor has it that his strength surpasses even Tuoba Yijian's," the woman from the Blood Phoenix Royal Clan said.
"Did the two of them come as well?" Chu Feng asked.
"No. The Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace did not participate in this operation," the woman said.
"So Tuoba Tianxue is the strongest junior among your Ancient Clans?" Chu Feng asked.
He needed to confirm this.
The hostility the Ancient Clans' juniors held toward the current generation could not have happened without the encouragement of the Ancient Clans themselves. So the hostility that Huangfu Shengyu and the others had displayed was not merely their own — it reflected the will of the powers standing behind them.
Sooner or later, the Ancient Clans and the modern world would go to war again, and Chu Feng needed to gauge the strength of his opponents.
"He's the one I know of, but I can't be certain. The people of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace rarely show their faces, and I don't know the full extent of their strength."
"Moreover, not all of the Ancient Clans can be contacted," the Blood Phoenix Royal Clan woman said.
"Then do you know the exact cultivation levels of Tuoba Yijian and Tuoba Tianxue?" Chu Feng asked.
"No, I don't," the woman said.
"Which Ancient Clans are you aware of?" Chu Feng asked.
"What I know is probably about the same as yours."
"Besides the six Ancient Clans that came here, the only others I know of are the Huangfu Heavenly Clan and the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace," the woman said.
"Then who among your group has the highest cultivation?" Chu Feng asked.
"I… I'm not entirely sure," the Blood Phoenix Royal Clan woman said, lowering her head.
She didn't dare meet Chu Feng's gaze, and this small gesture told Chu Feng she was lying.
But before Chu Feng could act, Zhao Gongyi spoke up immediately.
"I know, Chu Feng, I know."
"My grandfather is a Heavenly God, and he is also the master of the Seven Realms Immortal Pavilion. He is currently outside the Ancestral Martial Star River."
"Besides my grandfather, the clan master of the Tuoba Heavenly Clan, the sect master of the Wanye Ancient Sect, the temple lord of the Nine Directions Divine Temple, the clan master of the Blood Phoenix Royal Clan, and the clan master of the Rock Hammer Demonic Clan are all at the Heavenly God realm — they've all come."
