The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

67: Chapter 67 Emerging from SeclusionQingyun Mountain.

In a courtyard, the Grand Elder looked at Sun Yanchen leaning against the bed and asked.

”You’re awake, how do you feel?”

Two days ago, Sun Yanchen fainted and was brought back to the Jiang Family by Jiang Liejun.

But as the head of the War Hall, he couldn’t stay here to look after a patient, so he dumped him on the Grand Elder and left.

Sun Yanchen had already regained consciousness yesterday, but yesterday, no matter what the Grand Elder said, Sun Yanchen looked dazed and ignored him.

Today, the Grand Elder came again and spoke once more as he looked at the vacant-eyed Sun Yanchen.

Finally, Sun Yanchen’s eyes moved; it seemed that only now had he truly come to his senses.

”Thank you.”

After a long time, a dry and raspy voice came from Sun Yanchen’s mouth.

Not eating or drinking for several days made his throat very uncomfortable.

”No need for thanks, just focus on recovering. But what on earth did you experience? Why are you the only one left?”

Looking at Sun Yanchen, who was once a dashing young man but had now become like this, the Grand Elder felt that he truly needed to be viewed in a new light.

”They’re all dead.”

Sun Yanchen murmured in a low voice, so quiet it was barely audible; even the current Grand Elder couldn’t hear what he was saying for a moment.

”What?”

The Grand Elder asked again.

”They’re all dead.”

This time Sun Yanchen’s voice was a bit louder, and the Grand Elder heard him clearly. To think that the entire Sun Family was gone except for Sun Yanchen before him made him feel how much things had changed.

”What happened?”

The Grand Elder inquired.

”A Desolate Beast Tide. Countless desolate beasts suddenly appeared, and we couldn’t defend in time.”

Sun Yanchen said slowly.

”A Desolate Beast Tide? You also encountered a Desolate Beast Tide?”

Hearing Sun Yanchen’s words, the Grand Elder blurted out the question.

On the other side, inside the Immortal Cave, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged in the center, the Aura emanating from him many times stronger than before.

In just a few days, he had forcefully made a Breakthrough from the fourth layer of the Golden Core to the current Ninth Layer of Golden Core.

Breaking through Realms was as simple as eating or drinking for him.

Unfortunately, after signing in for so long, he hadn’t obtained a Cultivation Technique better than the Heaven and Earth Profound Origin Art; otherwise, his Cultivation speed would be even faster.

”Ninth Layer of Golden Core, just one step away from Nascent Soul.”

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes and felt the changes within his body. He murmured to himself as his Golden Core Aura surged out like crashing waves.

As he stopped Cultivating, the previous Spiritual Energy vortex slowly vanished. His Aura retracted, and he returned to his former appearance.

He had intended to break through directly to Nascent Soul, but for some reason, he woke up from his trance upon reaching the Ninth Layer of Golden Core.

However, Jiang Chen was naturally easygoing. Since he was awake, perhaps the time for a Breakthrough hadn’t arrived yet. Although he had the confidence to force a Breakthrough, he felt it was unnecessary and decided to let nature take its course.

Afterward, Jiang Chen left his Immortal Cave and saw the Qingyun Market below at a glance.

Jiang Chen noticed that the foot traffic in the market was increasing, nearly two to three times more than during the Desolate Beast Tide.

His Divine Sense swept out, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from the spot.

He reappeared right in front of the Grand Elder.

”Clan Chief.”

Seeing Jiang Chen’s sudden appearance, Grand Elder Jiang Xuanting hurriedly bowed.

”Grand Elder, who is this?”

Jiang Chen asked, looking at Sun Yanchen lying on the bed.

Then, the Grand Elder began to explain what had happened while Jiang Chen was in seclusion.

Only then did Jiang Chen look at Sun Yanchen. He hadn’t expected so much to have happened to him during this time.

However, hearing that the Sun Family had also been destroyed due to a Desolate Beast Tide gave him a bad premonition, feeling as if some unstoppable major event was about to occur.

(I’m really sorry, I’ve had a cold, fever, and headache these past two days. For now, I can only post one chapter a day. Once I’m better, I’ll resume normal updates.)
