The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

64: Chapter 64 Xie WuchenThe Second Elder was able to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment because he is the Second Elder; Family resources are naturally allocated to him first.

As for these Clan Members, how many of them actually had good talent? If it weren’t for the Family’s unlimited supply of Medicinal Pills, they might still be struggling to Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer.

As for Foundation Establishment, with their Aptitude, it would be impossible to Breakthrough without a foundation establishment pill.

Even in the current Jiang Family, foundation establishment pills aren’t just available whenever they want. In their minds, although the Clan Chief was omnipotent, he must have exhausted everything to provide so many foundation establishment pills for the Elders to Breakthrough.

As for Jiang Feng, they all believed he could Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment sooner or later. However, hearing such words from him at his young age made them unable to suppress their laughter.

”You guys...”

Seeing this, Jiang Feng’s face turned beet red. After experiencing the Desolate Beast Tide that day, he didn’t immediately go into seclusion, but instead went to the War Hall to temper himself for a while.

His grandfather told him that the strength of a powerful Cultivator lies not only in his cultivation level but also in his combat style.

And this powerful combat capability can only be formed through repeated battles. Otherwise, having cultivation without knowing how to use it, only relying on raw power to suppress others without understanding how to deflect a thousand pounds with four ounces, would lead to a major setback sooner or later.

Today was his first time out with the War Hall. The atmosphere had been quite good, and he felt that these Clan Members in the War Hall were all very nice.

But after this experience, he felt he needed to re-evaluate his perception of these people.

”Who’s there? Show yourself.”

Just then, Jiang Liejun suddenly shouted, his sharp gaze fixed in a certain direction.

Hearing Jiang Liejun’s shout, all the Jiang Family Clansmen present followed the Second Elder’s gaze.

At that moment, Sun Yanchen appeared before everyone.

”Are you... Sun Yanchen?”

The Second Elder looked at the disheveled and dejected young man, asking with a mix of uncertainty and certainty.

Back in Tianlin City, he had seen Sun Yanchen. At that time, Sun Yanchen was a graceful young man, as gentle as jade. But seeing him in this state now left him deeply shocked.

Hearing Jiang Liejun’s question, Sun Yanchen finally looked forward.

Before his eyes were a group of Jiang Family Clansmen. He recognized some of them. Tianlin City wasn’t particularly large or small; the important members of the various cultivation families all knew each other.

”You are the Jiang Family Clansmen.”

Sun Yanchen asked hesitantly. Although he recognized these Jiang Family Clansmen, he wasn’t entirely sure.

Because the aura emanating from Jiang Liejun at this moment was clearly at the Foundation Establishment level, and it didn’t seem like he had just entered it.

One must know, how long had it been since they left Tianlin City? Back then, although the Jiang Family was stronger than the Sun Family, it was only by a small margin.

But meeting again, the gap between them was actually this vast. His Sun Family had been destroyed, leaving only him, while a Second Elder of the Jiang Family had already broken through to Foundation Establishment.

If the Jiang Family’s Second Elder had such strength, what about their Old Patriarch? What about the Grand Elder? And what about the other Elders?

Thinking of this, Sun Yanchen felt incredibly bitter. Indeed, the gap between people could sometimes be greater than the gap between humans and dogs.

”Why are you here?”

Seeing that Sun Yanchen didn’t answer, Jiang Liejun asked again. Seeing Sun Yanchen in such a state, Jiang Liejun wasn’t overbearing; he could see that something must have happened to the other man.

”Heh—”

However, just as Sun Yanchen was about to speak, he suddenly lost his breath and fell straight backward.

After experiencing that incident, Sun Yanchen had been in a daze without food or water. Upon seeing acquaintances, he could no longer hold on; his physical strength was exhausted, and he collapsed.

”Hey, hey, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing Sun Yanchen fall straight down, the Jiang Family group was momentarily stunned, but they quickly ran to his side.

”Two of you, carry him back to the Family.”

Jiang Liejun said to the Clan Members. Standing by and doing nothing was not his style.

Soon, two strong Clan Members stepped forward. The current War Hall Disciples were each at least at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer. For such a small matter, let alone two people, one person could have carried him back to the Family.

Because of this, Jiang Liejun lost interest in exploring other regions of the Great Desolation and led the Clan Members back toward Qingyun Mountain.

Star Cliff.

The steep and rugged grey rocks shimmered like a dream under the starry sky, with the cliff top piercing the heavens, its end invisible.

This was Star Cliff, a place unheard of by ordinary people and a source of awe for those who knew of it.

At this moment, at the end of Star Cliff amidst the endless sea of stars, there was a stone platform emerging from the starlight. On the platform sat a white-haired, white-robed man with a transcendent, immortal air.

Just as those terrifying eyes looked toward Jiang Chen, the entire sea of stars suddenly trembled, and countless stars began to rotate and shift incessantly.

This commotion quickly startled the person sitting on the stone platform.

His narrowed eyes slowly opened, revealing a gaze that contained endless starlight.

Within that endless starlight, there seemed to be secrets submerged in the Long River of Time. When one tried to see clearly, they seemed to vanish like a dream or a bubble.

He watched the random changes of the surrounding stars, his brow furrowing slightly as his fingers formed a seal, a Profound Aura swirling at his fingertips.

However, the process that was going smoothly suddenly halted, and the Profound Aura swirling at his fingertips abruptly collapsed and dissipated.

This scene finally caused the normally calm man to turn his head and look at the palm of his hand used for the seal.

His pale palm was covered in dense lines, but now, a piece was missing from the middle of these lines, like a treasure map with a hole in the center.

”Alas, the world is about to change. Is my Human Race really so disliked?”

The old man muttered to himself, his voice echoing in the endless sea of stars, but no one responded.

As the old man finished speaking, the shifting stars around him immediately returned to their previous state, as if nothing had ever happened.

The old man glanced at the surrounding sea of stars, and his figure vanished like smoke and dust.

Human Ancestral Court.

This was the seat of the Human Race’s faith. The Human Ancestral Court deserved much credit for the Human Race’s ability to have a corner to survive in this Great Desolation.

At this time, a white-robed old man arrived through the air, landing at the bottom of the ninety-nine steps and looking up at the Ancestral Court above.

”Halt! This is the Human Ancestral Court. No unauthorized persons allowed.”

Just then, guards on both sides of the steps drew their swords to block the old man’s path, not letting him advance a single step.

This old man was the same one who had been sitting in the sea of stars atop Star Cliff. Seeing the guards’ actions, he remained as calm as ever; these guards couldn’t affect him in the slightest.

”All of you, stand down.”

Just then, a voice came from within the Ancestral Court.

Hearing this voice, the guards sheathed their longswords and retreated to their previous positions.

Seeing this, the old man smiled slightly and took a light step. In the next instant, he disappeared from the steps and reappeared at the main gate of the Ancestral Court. With another light step, he walked directly inside.

”Xie Wuchen, what are you doing here?”
