CHAPTER 290: CHAPTER 290: MEETING ANOTHER ANCESTOR

"Lead the way, you can catch rabbits on your way back." Father Chu said as he, just like everyone else surveyed the forest.

The forest was dense, but not scary. However, they assumed that it was because this was still the outside part of the forest. Maybe going deeper would be different.

The family walked for almost an hour before they found the cave they were looking for.

Chu Hao went inside and everyone followed behind.

When they reached the place where the statue was placed, he followed Chu Miao’s example and bowed.

The others followed behind and bowed as well.

It was only after the last person had paid their respect that the door on the floor leading to the stairwell opened.

It was as if someone was observing them.

Just as Chu Hao was about to lead the others down, suddenly a voice was heard. It sounded as if it had come from the void.

"Someone not of the Chu bloodline is here." The voice didn’t say much, but everyone knew that it was talking about Ye Xuan.

Even though Butler Cheng was also not of the Chu bloodline, it seemed that his oath to serve grandpa Chu connected the two. So, he was not regarded as an outsider.

When the group heard that voice, they didn’t bother looking where it came from since they couldn’t figure it out.

They all knelt down and kowtowed.

"Greetings to the ancestor." They said in unison.

Although Ye Xuan didn’t say anything, he followed the others in showing respect to the ancestor.

" Ancestor, his name is Ye Xuan. He is a son-in-law of the Chu family." Grandpa Chu took the lead and explained the situation.

As the elder among the few people, he was the most qualified to converse with the invisible ancestor.

"He has not consummated with anyone with the bloodline of the Chu family. He has not consummated with anyone." The voice came again, and just like that, it announced Ye Xuan’s virgin status to everyone.

This actually made the other members of the Chu family extremely happy.

Their daughter/granddaughter/sister had picked up a bargain. Where would you find such a clean man nowadays?

"It is because they have not held the wedding ceremony yet. My granddaughter, Chu Miao, is still young." Grandpa Chu continued to explain.

"Is your granddaughter the chosen one?" the voice came again.

"Yes, she is." Grandpa Chu replied again respectfully.

"Good find. Little one, once you are ready to consummate, the two of you should use the dual cultivation technique left behind by Chu Batian.

It can guarantee fast improvement and easier advancement for your light and his darkness elements." The voice advice.

"Thank you, ancestor." Chu Miao replied this time.

She had been wondering about the dual cultivation technique she had found in the cave. Now she knew that it was probably designed for people who had awakened the light and darkness elements.

No wonder authentic dual cultivation techniques were so rare. It seemed that they were tailored for specific people.

"Alright, you may proceed to seek your own fortune." The voice said as if giving them blessings.

As they were about to stand up, a gentle light covered them all. They felt as if they were in a warm and comfortable spring and almost instinctively, they started to circulate their cultivation.

Then they realized that they had indeed been blessed. The spiritual energy in their meridians was circulating faster than before.

This meant that during cultivation, they will also absorb spiritual energy faster than before and their advancements would also come sooner than expected.

Once the light disappeared, they proceeded down the stairwell that led underground.

"Do you think there are some family ancestors still alive somewhere? The presence of this ancestor doesn’t seem to be that of a divine sense left behind." Chu Hao commented thoughtfully.

"Indeed, it’s different from the last time we met ancestor Chu Batian’s divine soul. This one is more powerful too." Chu Miao agreed with her brother.

They were the only people who had encountered something like this before, so they had experience.

While the two were discussing the ancestor in a carefree manner, the elders were wondering how to explain to Ye Xuan about the conversation about Chu Miao being the chosen one.

Truth was, Ye Xuan was indeed curious about this but he also understood that every family had their secrets.

The Chu family being willing to share most of those secrets was already a blessing. Moreover, he looked at his girlfriend who seemed like she didn’t think that what was said was a big deal and signed.

She was still young after all. He had to understand that she thought of things differently from a mature grown up.

When the others saw that Ye Xuan didn’t seem to mind and that all his attention was on Chu Miao, they relaxed. In fact, they hoped that it was Chu Miao herself who would tell her partner about all these things. Thus, they stopped overworking their brains to think of a solution.

The tunnel Chu Miao and Chu Hao used the last time was still the same. They arrived at the open hall after walking for sometime.

The hall was brightly lit like the last time and the spiritual energy pool was still the same as they left it.

"There’s the pool. We will cultivate the I side for now. But the spiritual energy in the pool is too dense, if your body can’t take it, it’s better to leave and cultivate outside in the hall. Don’t overdo it and end up exploding." Chu Miao explained as she pointed at the pool that looked like it was filled with milky water but in reality that was spiritual energy that had been accumulating for thousands of years.

"Alright, everyone can cultivate at their own pace. The spiritual energy in the hall is also a lot more compared to outside the cave, so it can also help us advance faster." Grandpa Chu also added because he didn’t want anyone to risk their lives for cultivation.
