The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

163: Chapter 163 Immortal LegendLooking up, hundreds of palaces floated above the clouds, surrounded by stars, with Spiritual Qi so dense it turned into liquid rivers, and the Heaven and Earth Dao rhythm clearly visible.

In the center, the Ten Thousand Immortal Platform towered majestically, piercing the clouds. Thirty-six main Fighting Platforms and one hundred and eight secondary Fighting Platforms were neatly arranged, with Formation patterns flowing and a heaven-shaking pressure.

From all directions, countless streaks of light converged. Cultivators from ancient Holy Lands, Legacy clans, and top Sects arrived in an endless stream, their robes fluttering and Spiritual Qi soaring to the heavens, marking the grandest event for the Human Race in a hundred thousand years.

”This is... the Human Ancestral Court!”

Jiang Xueqin, Jiang Feng, and other young disciples were full of shock, their hearts and minds surging.

Jiang Chen restrained his Aura and led everyone to the post house arranged by the Ancestral Court for the Yuan Kingdom Cultivators to rest.

The post houses were all built of white jade, with Spiritual Veins leading directly underground. The Cultivate speed far exceeded the outside world. The Jiang Family members made some adjustments to recover from the exhaustion of the journey.

Two days of rest passed in an instant, and the Human Ancestral Court Grand Competition officially began!

Ancestral Court Grand Elder Great Elder, with hair as white as snow, stood upon the high platform of the Ten Thousand Immortal Platform, his Divine Soul covering the entire field, and his voice reaching every corner.

”Today, the Human Ancestral Court Grand Competition begins! The Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul groups will compete on the same stage. The outer Fighting Platforms will determine the rankings, and the inner Starry Secret Realm will decide the winners. Based on the total points ranking, the victors will obtain a supreme Opportunity!”

As the words fell, the entire crowd erupted in excitement!

The first to begin was the outer Fighting Platform battles.

The Foundation Establishment group’s Fighting Platform battles started first.

The Jiang Family’s younger generation was even more unstoppable. In the Foundation Establishment group, twelve Jiang Family members were in the top one thousand; in the Golden Core group, thirty-two made it into the top one thousand; and in the Nascent Soul group, twenty-eight entered the top one thousand.

The Fighting Platform battles lasted for ten full days. The fighting was fierce but orderly. The Ancestral Court law enforcement team stood guard throughout, prohibiting lethal blows. Countless Geniuses stood out, and the Qingyun Mountain Jiang Family was undoubtedly the most dazzling dark horse.

After the Fighting Platform battles ended, the top one thousand from each group gained the qualification to enter the Starry Secret Realm. The Jiang Family’s performance this time shocked everyone.

The Secret Realm opened with ten thousand rays of rosy light. The gates of the Starry Secret Realm swung wide, and the power of the stars poured out.

The Jiang Family members stepped into the Secret Realm one by one. Inside the Secret Realm, the starry sky was vast, and the remnant souls of ancient desolate beasts wandered. Ancient Legacies and Spiritual Vein mines could be seen everywhere, yet danger lurked at every turn.

Inside the Secret Realm, Jiang Feng and Jiang Xueqin had Heaven-Defying Opportunities. They accidentally entered the Starry Spiritual Spring, and their cultivation directly broke through the Nascent Soul and entered the Out of Body Stage.

Ling Xuanye found an ancient Pill Furnace Legacy, and his pill Dao attainment skyrocketed.

The Jiang Family Golden Core Cultivators killed a large number of desolate beast remnant souls, and their points climbed rapidly.

Sun Yanchen found Soul Transformation-rank Spiritual Materials in the depths of the Secret Realm, and his strength improved further.

The three-day Secret Realm trial ended, and all Cultivators were forcibly teleported out. The rankings on the points monument were finalized.

Foundation Establishment group: A total of eight Jiang Family members broke into the top twenty!

Golden Core group: Five Jiang Family members entered the top twenty!

Nascent Soul group: Four Jiang Family members entered the top twenty!

Finally, the top three, top ten, and top one hundred for all three groups were decided.

Ancestral Court Grand Elder Great Elder loudly announced the final results.

”The top ten of each group are granted entry to the Star Cliff Secret Realm to Cultivate and receive nourishment from the Star Origin; the top one hundred shall enter the Ancestral Court’s Spiritual Spring Pavilion for one month of secluded meditation!”

Although the crowd was excited, most people were very unfamiliar with the Star Cliff Secret Realm and had never heard of it.

However, for some top-tier forces, this was no secret. They began to explain to those around them: The Star Cliff Secret Realm was a Secret Realm created by the Human Race powerhouse Xie Wuchen, a place dreamed of by countless Cultivators.

This time, the Jiang Family had eight people in the Foundation Establishment group, five in the Golden Core group, and four in the Nascent Soul group—a total of seventeen people broke into the top ten of their respective groups, gaining the qualification to enter the Star Cliff Secret Realm. They occupied one-seventh of the total slots, making them the biggest winner of this Grand Competition!

Great Elder’s gaze fell upon the Jiang Family members, especially Jiang Feng, Jiang Xueqin, Ling Xuanye, and Sun Yanchen, his eyes full of appreciation.

He had already secretly screened Cultivators with top-tier talent, Luck, and Heart-Nature. The Jiang Family disciples occupied seven spots, all of whom were core candidates he had selected for cultivation.

”This Jiang Family is not simple.”

Great Elder thought to himself.

Three days later, Great Elder led the top ten of each group and the 90 talented and lucky individuals selected during this period to the Star Cliff Secret Realm.

The master of the Secret Realm, Xie Wuchen, dressed in white, stood in the center of the Starry Formation. He raised his hand and performed hand seals. The vast and boundless power of the stars poured down from the Nine Heavens. At the same time, he used a Divine Ability to draw the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the entire Great Desolate Human Race, funneling it all into the Starry Formation!

”Today, I shall use the power of the array to help you juniors break through your shackles!”

Xie Wuchen’s voice was clear. With the Formation fully activated, a massive amount of Spiritual Qi and Star Origin surged into the Secret Realm like a tsunami, frantically washing through the Meridians and Dantians of every Cultivator.

The Jiang Family disciples, situated at the core of the Formation, felt the extreme surge of energy and frantically circulated their Saint-Grade Cultivation Techniques.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Xueqin had just entered the Soul Emergence stage. Under the nourishment of the starry power, their cultivation began to stabilize. Three days later, they even broke through to the Soul Emergence Great Perfection, reaching the half-step Soul Transformation!

Ling Xuanye even skipped Soul Emergence and reached the Soul Transformation Realm, with the purity of his pill fire increasing tenfold.

The remaining Jiang Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators all broke through to the Golden Core stage. The Golden Core Cultivators one after another touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul, and the Nascent Soul Elders’ cultivation skyrocketed, approaching the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Everyone’s cultivation skyrocketed like a rising rocket, yet their Realms remained as stable as Mount Tai, without any signs of a shaky Foundation.

Xie Wuchen watched the transformation of the Jiang Family members and nodded slightly.

”This clan’s Luck is flourishing, and their descendants possess extraordinary talent. They will surely be the pillars of the Human Race in the future.”

Great Elder stood outside the Secret Realm, watching the spiritual light soaring to the heavens within, and smiled with satisfaction.

This Ancestral Court Grand Competition not only selected the Prodigies of the Human Race’s younger generation but also brought the Qingyun Mountain Jiang Family completely into the core vision of the Human Race.

And the Jiang Family members, with the enhancement of the Starry Formation, had undergone a complete transformation and were now qualified to stand among the top-tier forces of the Human Race.

The day the Secret Realm seclusion ended would be the time for the Human Race to integrate its strength and jointly resist the Great Desolate catastrophe. The Qingyun Mountain Jiang Family was destined to write the most brilliant chapter in this Human Race catastrophe.

The Secret Realm seclusion came to a successful Perfection. The brilliant light of the stars slowly receded. The Jiang Family disciples and a group of Prodigies were surrounded by spiritual light, their Auras increasing a hundredfold as they stepped out of the Star Cliff Secret Realm one by one.

At a young age, Jiang Feng and Jiang Xueqin had already reached the half-step Soul Transformation. Ling Xuanye and Sun Yanchen stood firmly in the Soul Transformation Realm. All the Jiang Family Elders broke through to the Soul Transformation Peak. Jiang Chen’s own Body Integration Realm cultivation was unfathomable. The entire team had undergone a complete transformation, their Aura surpassing everyone else.

Great Elder and Xie Wuchen smiled at each other. They publicly praised the Qingyun Mountain Jiang Family as the number one clan of the Human Race’s new generation, including them in the Human Race’s core combat sequence to jointly discuss the grand plan for resisting the Great Desolate catastrophe.

The Ancestral Court immediately bestowed top-tier Spiritual Veins, ancient Legacies, and clan-guarding Magical Artifacts to help the Jiang Family consolidate its position as the hegemon of the eastern Great Desolate.

After returning to Qingyun Mountain, the Jiang Family stood tall in the Great Desolate as a top-tier force. The Myriad Spirits Dragon Convergence Array was upgraded again, the Ancestral Land expanded by ten thousand miles, and Cultivators from all directions flocked to join. Loose Cultivators pledged their loyalty, and various kingdoms submitted.

Jiang Chen sat in the center, with Lu Xin and Jiang Suhai guarding him on either side. Jiang Family disciples were spread across all key locations of the Human Race, becoming the mainstay protecting the Human Race’s territory.

As time passed, the name of the Qingyun Mountain Jiang Family resounded throughout the entire Human Race territory. With flourishing incense and a continuous stream of experts, they finally became an eternally immortal top-tier sacred clan. They emerged during the Great Desolate catastrophe, protecting the prosperity of the Human Race for ten thousand years, writing an immortal legend of a small border clan’s rise.
