In the inheritance room, the old man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his white hair fluttering in the breeze. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes when he saw the girl coming towards him.

"You're here?"

The old man's voice was indifferent and ethereal, with a hint of a sigh.

“Yes, I’m here,” Mu Ruyue looked up at the old man and said calmly, “Old Xiao, I have now broken through to the innate realm, and I’m here to receive the inheritance…”

"No hurry," the old man chuckled twice, "Before you accept the inheritance, I want to tell you about the history of the Xiao family. The world only knows that the Xiao family came from the Holy Land, but they don't know their true origins."

What is the true origin of the Xiao family?

Mu Ruyue was startled and looked at Mr. Xiao with a puzzled look.

Old Xiao sighed softly, as if lost in memories: "The ancestor is not from the Shenwu Continent. He is from the Zhongzhou Continent. The ancestor used to be a genius of the Xiao family in Zhongzhou. He reached the realm of innate great perfection at a young age and dominated the world. However, geniuses always attract jealousy. The ancestor was framed at that time, which resulted in his strength no longer being able to improve, and his vitality was lost... To be honest, in a power like the Xiao family, a young innate great perfection will be fully cultivated, but an innate great perfection who has lost his progress will no longer be of any use."

A genius of his generation, but because of the jealousy of others, his talent fell. Even if his strength did not decline, he would no longer be of any use to the Xiao family...

"Without the ability to make progress, our ancestor could not make any progress in the Xiao family. The Xiao family has a rule that any warrior at or below the innate level must make a breakthrough within 20 years at the latest. Because of that incident, our ancestor was unable to make any progress at his original level within 20 years, so he was expelled from the Xiao family. He was disillusioned with the place and did not want to stay in Zhongzhou, so he came to the Shenwu Continent and founded another Xiao family. I had received the kindness of our ancestor in the past, so I left the Xiao family with him."

Thinking of the difficult life of his ancestors, Old Man Xiao closed his eyes gently.

That place is the eternal pain of our ancestors...

"Miss, Zhongzhou is an extremely complex place. A Xiantian who is strong enough in the Shenwu Continent is only in the middle or lower level there. Above the Xiantian, there are even stronger people. That is where the real strong people come from. With the amazing talent of our ancestor, we could have thrived there, but our talent declined at a young age, and we even lost our life due to the unstoppable loss of vitality."

After that incident, the Xiao family asked all the alchemists to treat the ancestor, but no alchemist could cure the ancestor's injury. Gradually, the Xiao family gave up on their former genius...

"The Xiao family of Zhongzhou?" Mu Ruyue raised her eyebrows and whispered softly.

Old Xiao smiled faintly: "Miss, the old ancestor had a wish before he died, which was to let a genius with talent surpassing his own appear among his descendants. I have waited for so many years, and finally you have arrived. If you want to accept the inheritance left by the old ancestor, you need to do something for him. If you have the opportunity in the future, go to the Xiao family and let those blind people see that there is another amazing genius among the descendants of the ancestor!"

Zhongzhou is a land of talented people, so strong people are born in large numbers. It is not uncommon for a seventeen-year-old to reach the level of innateness there. However, the Shenwu Continent does not have such favorable conditions. In such a rubbish environment, one can reach the level of innateness at such a young age. What else can this be but genius?
