"A simplified version?" Chu Qi Tian was a little puzzled.
"Father, what do you mean?"
"Are you saying that the Cloud Dao Heavenly Duel that we cultivate is all simplified?"
Chu Qi Tian stared in disbelief and asked his father in some disbelief.
Chu Zhengliang nodded, "Back when I first entered the martial arts dao, your grandfather had told me."
"Nowadays, the Cloud Dao Heavenly Duel that the people of our Chu family cultivate is all after the reduction."
"At that time, your grandfather told me to cultivate hard so that I could find the complete version of the Cloud Dao Heavenly Duel as soon as possible."
"At that time, I had thought that the true Cloud Dao Heavenly Duel was something that only the Chu Family Head could cultivate."
"But to my disappointment, even after I later succeeded to the position of family head, and after asking some of the Chu family elders, I discovered that even the Chu family head was still not exposed to the true Cloud Dao Heavenly Duel."
"How is that possible?"
"Even the one you cultivate is a fake?"
"What about the real one?"
"Where exactly is the true and complete Cloud Dao Heavenly Duel technique?"
These words from Chu Zhengliang were undoubtedly extremely alarming to Chu Qi Tian.
Even the Chu Family, at the highest level of control, was unable to access the family's top-tier gongfa.
Such a thing was unthinkable to think about.
Chu Zhengliang shook his head, "I also asked your grandfather about this issue."
"He told me that back then, my Chu Family's first ancestor had written all of his lifelong insights as well as what he had learned into a book."
"That book was called the Cloud Dao Heavenly Book!"
"But unfortunately, after the ancestor, the descendants of my Chu Family were not as talented. There was always a book full of riches, and then it was simply difficult to comprehend."
"In desperation, the first family head only had to select a few gong methods and secret arts from the book, and after simplifying them, pass them on to his descendants."
"Nowadays, the secret arts techniques we practice are basically the simplified versions."
As he listened to his father's narration, Chu Qi Tian was already stunned.
A pair of eyes that could not stop dilating.
Because of his shock, his mouth was so open that he could almost stuff an apple into it.
"Father, you... Are you saying that for so many years, what our Chu family has been cultivating for generations is a simplified version?"
Chu Qi Tian was truly shaken to his core.
One had to know that for so many years, the Chu Family had been known as the world's number one martial arts family.
The greatest reliance was on the secret techniques of martial arts passed down from their ancestors.
But now, Chu Qi Tian learned that what the Chu family had relied on for generations was only a simplified version.
Chu Qi Tian no longer dared to imagine how strong the complete version of the Cloud Dao Heavenly Dictation Technique would be.
If they were able to cultivate it, their Chu family would be able to dominate the world.
Horrified, Chu Qi Tian could not help but lament, "The first... The first generation family head is also... That's too strong."
"I'm afraid it's, like, the closest thing to a god."
Chu Qi Tian opened his mouth, trying hard to imagine his family's Primogenitor, like a god, being worshipped with faith and kneeling.
However, in the face of Chu Qi Tian's words, Chu Zhengliang shook his head and said, "If it is only close, then you are underestimating our Chu family's patriarch."
"In other words, he is already a god."
These words of Chu Zhengliang were spoken firmly and forcefully.
There was an endless amount of yearning and awe in his deep eyes.
Although he had seldom heard the older generation of the Chu family, telling about the first generation of the family head.
However, as the saying goes, a glimpse of a spot reveals the whole picture.
Just from the Cloud Dao Heavenly Duel Technique and the Cloud Dao Heavenly Absolute Secret Technique, Chu Zhengliang could see that even the simplified version was beyond human reach.
What's more, the complete version was even more profound.
It would not be too much to say that it was the art of the immortals.
The only person who could create such a masterpiece would be a god!
Chu Qi Tian was completely bewildered, and his heart was tossing and turning, almost raising waves of shock.
At this moment, Chu Qi Tian felt that he had never been more amazed in his life than he had been today.
He stared at him, almost forgetting to breathe, and simply mumbled to Chu Zhengliang, "Father, you... Are you saying that I... Our Chu family, are the descendants of the gods?"
"I... Within us, we retain immortal bone and blood?"
Chu Qi Tian had always thought of himself as a powerful aristocrat.
He had always felt that he was one of the most noble group of people in the world today.
But now, it seemed that he had still underestimated his own nobility.
For, it was highly likely that their family was, not human, but, rather, the descendants of immortals.
"I don't know."
"All of this, too, is just my guess based on some clues, all of it."
"The Chu family has a long history after all, so how many people can know about the affairs of their ancestors?"
"Moreover, I always had a doubt, after the immortals, shouldn't they also be immortal?"
"But our Chu family, why are we still just mortals."
"Of course, I have pondered about the answer to this question."
"Perhaps back then, the first family head had many children, and we were only the most untalented of those many children."
"Therefore, we were left behind here and stationed on Earth."
Chu Zhengliang spoke in a deep voice, and Chu Qi Tian, who was on the side, was already completely dumbfounded.
It only felt like his brain was not enough.
All this he had heard today only felt too metaphysical, just like reading a novel.
After the Immortals?
The Cloud Dao Heavenly Book?
Mudd, that was too far-fetched, right?
Not even a novel would dare to write like that.
Anyway, it was a little hard for Chu Qi Tian to accept.
After all, for so many years, in Chu Qi Tian's worldview, there was no belief in the existence of immortals beyond human beings.
But now, his own father's words were contrary to Chu Qi Tian's worldview.
Naturally, it made him somewhat unbelievable.
"Father... Father, do you have a scientific basis for these words?"
"Or is it just your wishful thinking and speculation?"
"In this world, there can't... There could really be a god, right?"
Chu Qi Tian asked with a trembling voice.
"What, you don't believe?" Chu Zhengliang frowned and looked at his own son.
Being questioned by his own son, Chu Zhengliang, who was a father, was naturally a little displeased.
Immediately, he said in a cold voice, "After all, you are a frog at the bottom of the well, sitting in a well and watching the sky, a rat's eye."
"These words of my father are mostly speculations, but they are by no means empty."
"Let me ask you, who do you think is the strongest person in the world? The highest realm, and what is it?"
"The strongest, should be... It should be my teacher Tang Yun. The number one in the Heavenly Ranking, should be counted... The strongest person in the Seal Realm at the time of counting."
Hearing his old father's slightly angry tone, Chu Qi Tian was somewhat terrified and spoke in a low voice.
When Chu Zhengliang smiled, he hummed and laughed, "Tang Yun? Seal?"
"That's all you have seen."
"The so-called number one in the Heavenly Ranking, the strongest person in the world, this is just a ranking on the surface."
"In this world, those who are truly powerful are often unknown to others."
"I can tell you without hesitation that in today's world, people whose strength is above your teacher's are by no means non-existent."
"Moreover, the Realm of Sealing is by no means the ultimate realm of the martial dao."
"Above that, there is the realm of "Beyond the Seal", also known as the "God Realm"!"
"Back then, why your grandfather retired so quickly was to pursue the Realm of Beyond the Seal."
Chu Zhengliang slowly spoke, but Chu Qi Tian had already frozen in place, as if he was a wooden chicken.
"God... God realm?"
"Really... Is there really... There is a God Realm?"
Since he had come from the world of martial arts since he was a child, Chu Qi Tian felt that he already knew enough about the martial dao.
But now, he only realized that the martial dao world in his eyes was only the tip of the iceberg.
Higher up, in a place he could not yet reach, there was a strange and bizarre world.
At this moment, it was as if Chu Qi Tian was learning about the martial dao for the first time.
It only felt, unimaginable.
