The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

38: Zhang broke through to the Golden Core stageAt this time, the vibrations coming from the Immortal Cave became increasingly violent, as if a powerful force was about to burst out of its cocoon.

Inside the Immortal Cave, the spiritual energy fluctuations within Jiang Chen’s body grew stronger and stronger.

Amidst these waves of impact, each higher than the last, the final barrier finally shattered with a bang.

Boom!

Suddenly, a brilliant light soared into the sky, illuminating the entire Qingyun Mountain.

A Golden Core pressure radiated from Jiang Chen’s body, spreading across all of Qingyun Mountain.

Under this pressure, all the Jiang Family Clansmen showed looks of fear; this pressure was too terrifying, feeling as if they were facing an invincible Wild Beast.

However, the pressure soon receded like a tide. Not long after, while they were still in awe of that pressure, Jiang Chen appeared before everyone.

“Greetings, Clan Chief.”

“Greetings, Clan Chief.”

...“Chener.”

...Seeing Jiang Chen appear, everyone stepped forward excitedly and called out respectfully.

“Mm, everyone can disperse. Father, Mother, you two head back first. Elders, follow me.”

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he led the way into the main hall.

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, the Clan Members left one after another. Jiang Chenghe took Qin XiangWan and Jiang Siyao back to their courtyard.

Jiang Suhai ignored the several Elders and followed Jiang Chen into the main hall. The Elders exchanged glances and all followed into the hall as well.

Before long, Clan Chief Jiang Chen, Grand Elder Jiang Suhai, and the other five Elders had all arrived.

“Clan Chief, just now that...”

Jiang Liejun, the first who couldn’t sit still, stood up and asked. This question had been weighing on his heart, and he felt he had to speak out.

Jiang Chen glanced at everyone with a smile and stood up. A Golden Core pressure bloomed from his body. Feeling this pressure, which was exactly the same as before, all the Elders seemed to hit a pause button at this moment, staring at Jiang Chen in stunned silence.

Although they had already guessed that the previous commotion was caused by Jiang Chen, seeing it with their own eyes was another matter entirely.

Soon, Jiang Chen withdrew the pressure he had emitted, as if the scene from before had never happened.

“Clan Chief, you’ve had a Breakthrough?”

Grand Elder Jiang Xuanting asked excitedly.

“Yes, I’ve broken through to the first layer of the Golden Core.”

Looking at everyone’s expectant eyes, Jiang Chen did not hide it; there was no need to.

Now that he was at the Golden Core stage, it could be said that in this vicinity, there was almost no one he needed to fear, unless a Nascent Soul Ancestor appeared.

One could say that returning to the Yuan Kingdom now, except for the capital city, he could walk tall in any other city.

At this moment, Jiang Chen scanned everyone in the hall and discovered that his grandfather had actually broken through to the Fifth Level of Foundation Establishment. In just a few short days, he had broken through consecutively to the Fifth Level of Foundation Establishment; it seemed his grandfather’s talent was indeed terrifyingly strong.

As for the Grand Elder and the Second Elder, they had not broken through and still remained at the first level of Foundation Establishment. This was actually understandable; for one, Jiang Chen hadn’t given them many Foundation Establishment Realm resources, and secondly, both Elders had been busy with their own affairs during this time and had no time to Cultivate.

As for Fifth Elder Jiang Beiyuan, although he was still at the Tenth Level of Qi Refining, he was already at the Peak of the Tenth Level of Qi Refining. The next step would be to charge towards the Eleventh Level of Qi Refining.

Meanwhile, Third Elder Jiang Lielong and Fourth Elder Jiang Haitao had also broken through to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining. As long as they obtained two more foundation establishment pills, they would be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

“Alright, Grand Elder, how is the construction of the Market Town coming along?”

Jiang Chen first looked toward Grand Elder Jiang Xuanting and asked.

“Clan Chief, all the shops have been built now, leaving only two areas vacant. I wonder how the Clan Chief wishes to handle these two areas next?”

Jiang Xuanting said. These two areas were ones Jiang Chen had specifically instructed him to leave empty until everything else was built.

Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction and then took out two blueprints.

“I have two blueprints here: one is for a Restaurant, and the other is for the Qingyun Pavilion. Construct the last two vacant plots according to these two blueprints.”

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he handed the two blueprints to the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder took them and opened them to look.

The moment he saw the blueprints, he was instantly shocked.

These two blueprints were drawn by Jiang Chen according to the ancient architectural styles of his previous life.

Among them, the Restaurant was a five-story Chinese-style building. The front part consisted of a row of twelve large glazed windows and a five-story wooden structure with blue brick joints, featuring carved beams and painted rafters, ancient and elegant.

The blueprint for the Qingyun Pavilion was nearly five or six times larger than the Restaurant. The entire Qingyun Pavilion was a three-story building, yet it was nearly half again as tall as the five-story Restaurant.

The entire Qingyun Pavilion utilized gray sculpture techniques. The corridors and canopies were all made of glazed tiles, with colorful flower and bird reliefs on the eaves, and various exquisite patterns carved all around.

This was the first time the Grand Elder had seen such complex architectural blueprints. Seeing these two blueprints, the look the Grand Elder gave Jiang Chen was as if he were looking at a Divine Being.

“Second Elder, tell me to what extent you have reclaimed the wasteland.”

Ignoring the Grand Elder, Jiang Chen looked at the Second Elder and asked.

“Reporting to the Clan Chief, our War Hall has pushed outward five li with Qingyun Mountain as the center. Now, the area within a five-li radius of Qingyun Mountain is a safe zone.”

Second Elder Jiang Liejun reported loudly, for fear that others wouldn’t know of his contribution.

【Ding, congratulations to the host, the Family has successfully reclaimed wasteland. Scope: five-li radius of Qingyun Mountain. Reward: one Elementary Gift Pack.】

Just as Jiang Chen was about to say something, the System’s voice came through.

“System, what’s going on? Why is there another Elementary Gift Pack?”

Jiang Chen asked in confusion. Why hadn’t the System mentioned these things before?

【This System is a Wasteland Reclamation System. This System’s mission is to help the host reclaim wasteland. As long as the host’s Family successfully reclaims wasteland, there will be gift pack rewards of different Ranks.】

The System slowly spoke to explain.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Jiang Chen had a face full of black lines. If he had known to start reclaiming wasteland from the beginning, how much time would have been saved by now?

【host, you didn’t ask. This System has no obligation to explain.】

The System’s cold voice rang out again.

“You...”

Jiang Chen was speechless; he couldn’t believe it was like this.

“Ding, now issuing a mission: reclaim wasteland to a fifty-li radius of Qingyun Mountain as soon as possible. Success will reward an Intermediate Gift Pack.”

Just then, a System mission was issued before Jiang Chen could even process what was happening.

“You can even issue missions.”

Jiang Chen felt that he had never truly understood this System.

“Of course. This System is dedicated to discovering wasteland reclamation families. The larger the reclaimed territory, the more generous the rewards will be.”

The System’s cold, enticing voice came through, and Jiang Chen couldn’t help but shiver.

“Open the Elementary Gift Pack.”

Jiang Chen then looked at the newly rewarded Elementary Gift Pack, wondering what was inside.

“Ding, opening the Elementary Gift Pack. Successfully opened. Obtained ten High Grade foundation establishment pills.”

High Grade foundation establishment pills. Not bad. Although they didn’t guarantee a 100% Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment like a supreme grade foundation establishment pill, they still had a 70% chance.

For them, 70% and 100% made no difference.

“Good, you have all done very well. However, Second Elder, next you must expand the range to a fifty-li radius as quickly as possible. Can you do it?”

Jiang Chen looked seriously at Second Elder Jiang Liejun and asked.

“I can. I guarantee the mission will be completed.”

Jiang Liejun promised.

“Good, I believe in you. When you complete the mission, I will prepare a gift for you.”

Jiang Chen said happily to Jiang Liejun.
