The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

159: Chapter 159 The Great Array of Ten Thousand Spirits Gathering Dragons”Everyone, hear my command! Kill all Wild Beasts below the Nascent Soul Realm to hone your combat experience!”

Jiang Chen stood atop the clouds, his voice calm yet carrying an unquestionable command.

Before his voice had even faded, a several-zhang-long Armored Rhinoceros roared and charged from the mountain forest below, its horn glinting with a pitch-black cold light, carrying the ferocious power of the Peak Golden Core Realm.

”I’ll do it!”

A Jiang Family Golden Core Cultivator leaped forward, his longsword unsheathed as spiritual light surged. In just three moves, he struck down the Armored Rhinoceros.

Immediately after, packs of wolf-shaped Wild Beasts and giant pythons surged out, ranging from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Core Realm. The Jiang Family Clansmen performed their respective duties: the Nascent Soul Elders held the rear to oversee the situation, the Golden Core Cultivators charged the front lines, and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators cooperated to eliminate the remaining enemies. The sounds of slaughter, clashing weapons, and the wails of Wild Beasts echoed through the mountains.

Whenever a Peak Nascent Soul Realm Wild Beast attempted to counterattack, Jiang Chen needed only a casual wave of his hand for an invisible Dao Charm to crush down. No matter how monstrous the beast’s ferocity, its body would instantly shatter, its Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

His actions were effortless, yet they fully displayed the supreme power of the Void Refining Realm to control heaven and earth. Before him, all below Void Refining were like ants.

Sweeping through the area, wherever the Jiang Family team passed, the Wild Beasts were annihilated, leaving not a blade of grass standing.

However, Jiang Chen’s gaze never rested solely on the slaughter of Wild Beasts.

He spread his Divine Thought, covering a thousand miles, searching for the fluctuations of Spiritual Veins deep underground.

In just half a day, he accurately captured the pure aura of a fifth-tier spirit vein.

”There is a fifth-tier spirit vein here. Clansmen, take action! Uproot the spirit vein and bring it back to Qingyun Mountain!”

At his command, three Nascent Soul Elders acted simultaneously. Their palm winds shook the earth, forcibly tearing open the ground for a hundred miles around. A pure white fifth-tier spirit vein, with Spiritual Qi as thick as mist, was forcibly uprooted from the depths.

As the spirit vein rose into the air, Jiang Chen flicked his finger, and a spatial Dao Charm descended, firmly sealing the spirit vein and storing it into a pre-prepared Spirit Vein Jade Plate.

Continuing deeper, within just one day, Jiang Chen found two more fifth-tier spirit veins and one sixth-tier spirit vein.

When that sixth-tier spirit vein burst from the earth, the entire vein resembled a dragon or a python, its Spiritual Qi so dense it had turned liquid, resonating with the aura of the main spirit vein on Qingyun Mountain.

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up as he whispered to himself:

”The quality of this sixth-tier spirit vein is excellent. Connected to the main vein of Qingyun Mountain, it can serve as another Ancestral Land!”

The main issue was that this place was too far from Qingyun Mountain and surrounded by too many Wild Beasts. Establishing a base here was clearly unrealistic; it would be better to move it to a location that faced Qingyun Mountain from a distance.

At that time, it could be designated as the second Qingyun Ancestral Land. A market could be opened, a Teleportation Array set up, and a connection made with the main vein of Qingyun Mountain, serving as the Jiang Family’s Foundation in the Deep part of the Great Wilderness!

Meanwhile, the Cultivators of Qingyun Market and several newly established Loose Cultivator markets nearby heard the news that the Clan Leader of the Jiang Family was personally leading an army to sweep through the Great Wilderness, seize spirit veins, and open up Ancestral Lands. They all flocked to watch.

When they saw the Jiang Family team effortlessly slaying Nascent Soul Wild Beasts, uprooting fifth and sixth-tier spirit veins, and with a Void Refining Realm powerhouse like Jiang Chen overseeing everything, they were all dumbfounded, waves of shock surging in their hearts.

”This is the current Qingyun Mountain Jiang Family? So strong! Three Nascent Soul Ancestors, dozens of Golden Cores, and hundreds of Foundation Establishments—this level of strength is already that of a solid first-rate power!”

”Following the Jiang Family is not only safe, but there are also spirit veins and resources to be shared. It’s much better than living a precarious life alone in the Great Wilderness!”

The Loose Cultivators watched from a distance, not daring to breathe loudly. It wasn’t until the Jiang Family team had slain all the Golden Core and Nascent Soul-level Wild Beasts and collected high-level Materials like core Demon Dans, Beast Bones, and hides, that the remains of the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment-level beasts—along with low-value blood, meat, and scraps—were left behind.

Jiang Chen didn’t care about this at all.

With the Jiang Family’s current Foundation and two Void Refining powerhouses overseeing them, these low-level resources no longer caught his eye. Rather than wasting his clansmen’s energy to clean them up, it was better to do a small favor.

Seeing that the Jiang Family members had no intention of stopping them, the watching Loose Cultivators’ eyes lit up. No longer able to contain their excitement, they swarmed toward the beast remains.

Some scrambled to cut the meat, some carefully collected the teeth, and others squatted to scrape the hides; in just a short moment, they had harvested plenty.

These Loose Cultivators, who lived precarious lives in the Great Wilderness and struggled to earn even a single Spirit Stone on a regular day, had managed to make a fortune just by scavenging behind the Jiang Family. Many even broke through small Realms on the spot.

”The masters of the Jiang Family are truly benevolent!”

”Following the Jiang Family is not only safe but also allows for free resources. You won’t find such a good thing anywhere else in the world!”

”I am willing to follow Clan Leader Jiang to the death and serve the Jiang Family like an ox or a horse!”

Gratitude spread through the hearts of the Loose Cultivators like a tide. Those who were merely watching earlier now all knelt on the ground, bowing respectfully to Jiang Chen atop the clouds.

Many leaders among the Loose Cultivators even stepped forward, earnestly requesting to join the Jiang Family. They were willing to become Outer Disciples to guard markets, scout roads, and handle chores for the family.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and spoke calmly:

”Those with upright Heart-Natures and no record of evil deeds may enter my Jiang Family’s Outer Sect to enjoy our protection and share in cultivation resources.”

As soon as he spoke, tens of thousands of Loose Cultivators cheered thunderously, their loyalty to the Jiang Family instantly solidifying.

With the addition of these Loose Cultivators, the markets under the Jiang Family’s banner instantly became bustling. People crowded the streets, Spiritual Qi gathered, and their Luck surged once more.

Jiang Chen continued to lead the team deeper, his Divine Thought sweeping across a thousand miles, clearing out all the ferocious Wild Beasts in the area along the way.

Anyone below the Void Refining Realm—be it at the Peak Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation Great Perfection—was utterly crushed by the Dao Charm he casually dropped, none able to withstand even a single blow.

Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul Elders and the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment clansmen continuously honed their cultivation through the slaughter. Their combat experience skyrocketed; many Foundation Establishment Cultivators broke through their Realms one after another, and the auras of the Golden Core Cultivators grew increasingly profound.

Sweeping through, the Jiang Family captured a total of four fifth-tier spirit veins, but only one sixth-tier spirit vein.

This sixth-tier spirit vein was the one obtained earlier; its Spiritual Qi was as concentrated as pulp, and its dragon vein energy surged endlessly, its quality second only to the main vein of Qingyun Mountain.

Jiang Chen understood that a sixth-tier spirit vein was comparable to a Void Refining powerhouse and was naturally rare in the world. Taking just this one had already damaged the Great Wilderness’s earth pulse, but it didn’t matter; after all, they were the ones benefiting, and the Wild Beasts were the ones suffering.

Afterward, Jiang Chen led his clansmen back to Qingyun Mountain and distributed all the resources they had acquired. The clansmen once again entered seclusion to Cultivate collectively.

Jiang Chen then took the sixth-tier spirit vein to Wangyun Peak on the eastern side of Qingyun Mountain. Though separated from the main vein by a thousand miles, they could still resonate with each other.

He then placed the four fifth-tier spirit veins in the south, west, north, and central positions of Qingyun Mountain, forming a defensive formation.

Then, Jiang Chen stepped onto the mountain Peak, his hands forming supreme dharma Seals.

The Dao Charm of the Void Refining Realm swept in all directions, channeling the power of the six spirit veins. They intertwined and spread underground, constructing the Myriad Spirits Dragon Convergence Array.

Once the array was complete, the Spiritual Qi within a thousand miles of Qingyun Mountain instantly became ten times denser!

The sixth-tier main vein and the sixth-tier secondary vein were like two giant dragons coiled together, while the fifth-tier spirit veins were like stars surrounding the moon. All the spirit vein auras were connected and endless, not only making the Jiang Family base as solid as a fortress but also causing cultivation speeds to skyrocket. Even Outer Sect Disciples could feel their Bottlenecks constantly loosening.
