The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

162: Chapter 162 Arrival at the Ancestral Court of the Human RaceTwo months passed in the blink of an eye. At Qingyun Mountain, the Myriad Spirits Dragon Convergence Array’s spiritual light still soared to the sky, and the entire Jiang Family was immersed in intense closed-door cultivation.

As Jiang Chen’s clear command echoed through the mountains.

”All Clan Members, end your seclusion!”

In an instant, hundreds of closed-door Immortal Caves opened together. A majestic Aura erupted like a volcano, piercing the Nine Heavens, causing the Spiritual Qi of the entire Qingyun Mountain to surge and ten thousand streaks of auspicious light to appear.

Jiang Chen stood at the Peak of the main summit, his Aura long since transformed.

Under the continuous supply of a massive amount of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, he broke through the Void Refining barrier all the way and firmly stepped into the Integration Realm. His pressure was as vast as a sea of stars; with a single thought, he could shake heaven and earth, making the entire Great Wilderness tremble.

Following closely behind, the eighteen Nascent Souls of the Jiang Family all stepped out. Their bodies no longer emitted Nascent Soul spiritual light, but the thick Dao charm of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Eighteen Soul Transformation Auras joined together, turning into a pillar of light reaching the sky, with terrifying power.

The nearly one hundred Golden Core Cultivators had now all condensed their Nascent Souls. Golden light crowned their heads, their Nascent Souls were smooth and translucent, and they stepped into the ranks of high-level Human Race Cultivators in one step.

Over two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators broke through their Realms together. The Golden Cores in their Dantians were brilliant, and the entire group promoted to the Golden Core Realm; not a single person fell behind.

Most shocking were the twelve-year-olds, Jiang Feng and Jiang Xueqin.

The two children slowly walked out of their Immortal Caves. A complete Nascent Soul spiritual light had actually condensed around them, as they directly broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm. At such a young age, they stood at the Peak of Great Wilderness Cultivators, their Heaven-Defying talent taking one’s breath away.

Auras of Soul Transformation, Nascent Soul, and Golden Core intertwined and rose. Qingyun Mountain seemed to have turned into a cradle of powerhouses, its momentum more flourishing than ever before.

And this majestic Opportunity did not stop within the Jiang Family.

Within a thousand-mile radius of Qingyun Mountain, all Loose Cultivators and subordinate forces in the markets and stations also welcomed a collective leap under the blessing of the Myriad Spirits Dragon Convergence Array and the Luck of the Jiang Family’s Breakthrough.

Every Qi Refining Cultivator reached Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment Cultivators formed Golden Cores one after another, and Golden Core Cultivators’ Bottlenecks were all broken. Countless Loose Cultivators looked up to the sky and cried out in joy.

”I’ve broken through! I’ve actually reached Foundation Establishment!”

”Golden Core! My Realm, which hadn’t moved for a hundred years, has actually broken through directly!”

”Thanks to Clan Leader Jiang and the Jiang Family, we have such a fortune in this life!”

For a time, sounds of cheering and awe spread in all directions, and the entire territory shook for the rise of the Jiang Family.

Everyone looked toward Qingyun Mountain, their eyes filled only with extreme respect and admiration—today’s Jiang Family was no longer a simple small Family, but a top-tier force truly renowned in the Great Wilderness with unfathomable foundations.

Jiang Chen stood atop Qingyun Mountain, his gaze sweeping over the Jiang Family elites ready to go, and said loudly:

”Today we end our seclusion. Follow me to the Imperial Capital of the Yuan Kingdom to meet with the Yuan Kingdom’s Cultivators and head to the Ancestral Court together!”

”We obey the Clan Chief’s command!”

The voice shook the mountains. This time, the Jiang Family selected thirty to fifty people to participate.

Everyone wore uniform Qingyun Brocade Robes with the Family emblem on their waists, their spirit far exceeding that of Cultivators from ordinary forces.

Three days later, Jiang Chen and his group arrived at the Yan Kingdom Imperial Capital.

At this moment, Cultivators from various kingdoms had already gathered on the Cloud Soaring Platform of the capital. The Ruler of Yuan Kingdom personally led the royal elites to wait, accompanied by twenty Genius Cultivators selected by the Yan Kingdom, all young leaders in the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Realms.

Seeing the Jiang Family team arriving through the air, with the Auras of Void Refining and Soul Transformation faintly spreading, the Emperor of Yuan Kingdom hurriedly bowed in greeting.

”Clan Leader Jiang’s presence brings great honor to the Yuan Kingdom!”

The Cultivators from the surrounding kingdoms were all shocked at the sight. So this was the legendary Clan Leader of the Qingyun Mountain Jiang Family, Jiang Chen; he was actually so young.

Looking behind him, there was more than one Soul Transformation Cultivator; they had already joined the ranks of the top forces within a ten-thousand-mile radius.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, his tone peaceful yet carrying natural majesty.

”No need for such formality, Ruler. Are the departure arrangements ready?”

The Emperor of Yuan Kingdom quickly responded.

”Everything is at Clan Leader Jiang’s disposal! Previously, my Old Ancestor made an agreement with the Clan Leader. For this trip to the Ancestral Court Grand Competition, all participating Cultivators of the Yan Kingdom will be under your command. All actions will follow your deployment. Regardless of safety or movement, everything will be based on your orders, and no one will dare to disobey in the slightest!”

After saying this, the Emperor of Yuan Kingdom turned around, his expression becoming solemn as he looked at the twenty-plus young talents of the Yan Kingdom behind him. His voice was stern and reached the whole field:

”Listen up! From today until the end of the Ancestral Court Grand Competition, you will only obey one person—the Clan Leader of the Qingyun Mountain Jiang Family before you, Jiang Chen!”

”His orders are equivalent to my decrees and the laws of the Yuan Kingdom! Orders must be strictly followed, no mistakes allowed, and absolutely no unauthorized actions or contradicting Clan Leader Jiang. Violators will be immediately expelled from the team and dealt with according to military law upon returning!”

The group of Yuan Kingdom Cultivators was shaken upon hearing this and quickly bowed together, saying:

”We obey! We will certainly follow Clan Leader Jiang’s orders!”

When they looked at Jiang Chen, the initial scrutiny and testing were long gone, replaced only by awe.

This excessively young Clan Leader before them was followed by a group of Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul powerhouses. This strength already surpassed that of the Yan Kingdom. Having him lead was undoubtedly the safest and most reliable choice.

Jiang Chen’s gaze indifferently swept over the Yan Kingdom group, his tone calm but unquestionable.

”In that case, organize the team immediately. In fifteen minutes, board the flying boat and depart. Throughout the journey, all actions will prioritize my Jiang Family team. Fight when encountering demons, avoid when encountering danger; there is no need to show off unnecessarily.”

”Yes!”

The Yuan Kingdom people responded in unison, not daring to be even slightly negligent.

Seeing this, the heavy stone in the Emperor of Yuan Kingdom’s heart finally dropped, and he cupped his hands to Jiang Chen once more.

”I entrust the safety of the juniors to Clan Leader Jiang. May Clan Leader Jiang and the Jiang Family disciples shine brilliantly at the Ancestral Court Grand Competition and bring glory to our Yuan Kingdom!”

”Rest assured.”

Jiang Chen gave a light response and turned to signal the Jiang Family disciples to form up.

Not long after, a Nine Heavens flying boat, forged entirely from Deep-sea profound iron and inscribed with a hundred defense and flight arrays, descended from the clouds. The hull was a hundred zhang long, and Spiritual Qi surrounded it like mist. It was a top-tier flying boat specially approved by the Human Ancestral Court for Cultivators from peripheral kingdoms to travel to the ancestral land.

”Everyone, please board the boat!”

Jiang Chen took Jiang Feng and Jiang Xueqin and stepped onto the flying boat first, followed closely by the Jiang Family disciples, and then the Yuan Kingdom Cultivators boarded in order.

Inside the flying boat, palaces stood in numbers, spiritual springs surrounded them, and the scent of pills filled the air, comparable to a mobile Holy Land. Many Cultivators from small border families had never seen such a treasure, and their eyes were full of wonder.

The flying boat set sail, cutting through the sky and speeding toward the Human Ancestral Court in the center of the Great Wilderness.

The flight was fairly stable at first, but after going deep into the heart of the Great Wilderness, the malevolent Qi between heaven and earth suddenly became thick, miasma blotted out the sun, and the roars of desolate beasts rose one after another.

As the Ancestral Court Grand Competition approached, the desolate beasts in the Deep part of the Great Wilderness seemed to sense the surging Luck of the Human Race and became increasingly violent.

On the third day, a thousand miles ahead of the flying boat, black clouds suddenly surged, and a terrifying pressure comparable to the Peak of Soul Transformation crashed down!

”Roar—!”

A thousand-zhang-long Ink-Scaled Giant Flood Dragon soared out. Its scales were as black as ink, its eyes blood-red, and it spat out poisonous mist. It was actually a desolate beast overlord that had occupied this place for ten thousand years. Sensing the abundant Spiritual Qi of the flying boat, it boldly moved to intercept.

”A Peak Soul Transformation desolate beast!”

The faces of the Yuan Kingdom Cultivators turned pale. The strongest among them was only at the Late Stage of Golden Core and had no power to resist.

Jiang Chen’s expression was indifferent. Standing at the bow of the flying boat, he struck out with a palm.

Integration Realm Dao charm condensed into a golden giant palm that blotted out the sun, striking directly at the Ink-Scaled Giant Flood Dragon.

The giant flood dragon hissed and swung its claws. The poisonous mist and spiritual light collided but were crushed to powder in an instant.

As the giant palm fell, the giant flood dragon’s massive body directly exploded, its Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. Its demon core and essence blood were casually collected by Jiang Chen; the whole process took less than a breath.

Such a scene left all the surrounding Cultivators dumbfounded, looking at Jiang Chen as if looking up at a god.

”Clan Leader Jiang... is actually strong to this extent!”

After that, they encountered several waves of powerful desolate beasts, including some at the Peak of Soul Transformation and even an Early Stage Integration Realm desolate beast blocking the way, all of which were easily killed by Jiang Chen.

The Jiang Family disciples also took this Opportunity to practice, killing groups of Golden Core and Foundation Establishment desolate beasts. Their combat experience improved rapidly. Wherever the flying boat passed, fierce demons fled and ten thousand beasts submitted.

After a full month of sailing, the Nine Heavens flying boat finally arrived at the core of the Great Wilderness—the Human Ancestral Court.
