Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 560. The Human Sovereign’s Foundation, the Mysterious Great Sun

Lu Yuan could tell that Jiang Taiyu attached great importance to this matter. That was why he wanted to know what that so-called foundation was, so he could make some preparations for what came next.

After hearing this, Jiang Ningxian shook her head. ”Actually, I am not clear on what is the foundation left behind by our ancestor. But according to the clan elders, that foundation is extremely important and concerns my entire Jiang Clan.

”Even core figures do not know much about it. Only some clan elders and Father understand what it is.”

If she knew, she would definitely tell him directly. Unfortunately, she was not sure, so she could not explain much. But Jiang Ningxian did know one thing—this foundation was extremely important.

Otherwise, she and her brother would not have shown such expressions back then.

So after thinking for a moment, she spoke again. ”In short, the fact that Father is willing to bring out that foundation already proves that he thinks very highly of you. He is also trying to make preparations for what comes afterward.”

This was all Jiang Ningxian could say for now. Lu Yuan would still have to explore the specifics himself.

Or perhaps he would only understand after seeing it with his own eyes.

”Is that so?” Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded.

But he was not very disappointed. He could sense that Jiang Taiyu truly wanted to do something for him. Otherwise, Jiang Taiyu would not have specially brought him to the Desolate Flame Starfield.

Lu Yuan had never considered whether there would be any harm in it. After all, they still had trust between each other.

After that, the two did not continue talking and simply waited in silence.

Just like that, another day passed.

Finally, Jiang Taiyu sent word, telling them they could go to the Jiang Clan now. The two did not hesitate and immediately set off.

The Flame Star was not very large. With their cultivation, the journey did not take long.

Soon, Lu Yuan arrived at the Jiang Clan, the core land of the entire Desolate Flame Starfield.

He had thought previously that as one of the top ten races in the cosmos, the Jiang Clan’s land would definitely be different from any ordinary place.

The ancestral land of the Celestials had been immensely grand, giving off an entirely extraordinary feeling.

But after seeing the place, a hint of surprise crossed his face.

Before him stood a vast complex of buildings. It did not occupy some mountain range, nor did it have enormous halls towering into the clouds. Instead, it resembled a series of ancient gardens.

It blended completely with the surrounding scenery, and beyond that, there seemed to be no special power.

If Lu Yuan had not clearly sensed that some special force was contained within these garden-like buildings, he would have suspected that he had come to the wrong place.

”Come to the Flame Hall.” Just then, Jiang Taiyu’s voice rang in both of their minds.

Jiang Ningxian said nothing more and led the way. After all, Lu Yuan was not familiar with this place.

Before long, the two arrived before a great hall. Some people had already gathered here, all of them elders. Although they did not have especially powerful cultivation, they were all very old. Clearly, they were elders of the Jiang Clan.

”Greetings, clan elders.” Jiang Ningxian also put away her usual casualness and greeted at once.

In her impression, each of these elders was extremely stern. Under such circumstances, she also became serious.

Beside her, Lu Yuan also bowed slightly. ”Greetings, Seniors.”

Many of those present did not have cultivation as high as his, but so what? They were all elders. He still had to show the proper respect.

”You are Lu Yuan?” one Jiang Clan elder asked then, his gaze scrutinizing him. ”You are indeed very young.”

”So what if he is young? It remains to be said if he can open that foundation,” another person said, his words cold.

In fact, none of the Jiang Clan elders present smiled. They all looked very solemn, and a closer look would even reveal displeasure on their faces.

Jiang Ningxian naturally sensed this emotion right away.

She quietly leaned close to Lu Yuan’s ear and said, ”Don’t mind them. The clan elders are all like this.”

Of course, despite her words, Jiang Ningxian still did not quite understand.

Usually, the clan elders were indeed rather stern, but not to the point of treating outsiders like this.

However, Lu Yuan understood. He could roughly guess what was going on. It was probably because he was an outsider and was now getting involved with one of the Jiang Clan’s foundations.

Even if it had never been opened before, they still had some opinions about it.

Clearly, during these two or three days, Jiang Taiyu had done a great deal of work persuading these clan elders.

”Let’s go,” one clan elder said. Then he reminded them, ”Xian’er, if you have nothing else to do, go see your mother. She has not seen you for some time.”

His words implied that Jiang Ningxian had best not come into contact with or participate in what came next.

If this were Jiang Haokong, he would definitely be dissatisfied and argue. No matter what, this was his own home. What could there be that he was not allowed to know?

But Jiang Ningxian was different. She immediately nodded, gave Lu Yuan an encouraging look, then left.

Lu Yuan followed the Jiang Clan elders into the great hall. The moment he entered, he saw that Jiang Taiyu had long been waiting inside.

However, Jiang Taiyu was currently sitting cross-legged within the hall, a formidable aura continuously surging from him.

At the very top of the hall hung a great sun, emitting scorching light. A terrifying aura surged from it, rumbling layer upon layer.

The clan elders beside Lu Yuan all took a deep breath when they saw this. They did not speak and instead sat down cross-legged one after another.

Powerful auras surged from them as well, rippling outward layer by layer.

This power did not come from cultivation, but from bloodline. Through a special method, they awakened it and merged it into that great sun.

As time passed, the great sun grew hotter and more blazing, as though it contained a tremendous force.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan could tell at a glance that this great sun was likely the foundation left behind by the Jiang Clan’s ancestor, the Human Sovereign Celestial Emperor. However, if one wanted to use it, it seemed a powerful bloodline had to open it.

Of course, this was only his guess. He naturally did not know the specifics.

Knowing he could not disturb them, Lu Yuan stood quietly where he was and waited.

Time continued to pass. Finally, at a certain moment, the power accumulated within the great sun reached its limit.
