The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

17: Chapter Breakthrough Foundation BuildingThis is also the difference between cultivators and ordinary people.

Mortals do not live past a hundred, but as long as a cultivator is successful, a hundred-year Lifespan is easily achieved.

Their constant thought was not to invest too much affection; otherwise, if their descendants lacked Aptitude and talent and didn’t live past a hundred, how many times would they have to experience the heartbreak of the elderly burying the young?

Cutting off these Family ties from the start and throwing oneself into Cultivation was what they, as cultivators, should do.

”Grandfather, I’m going to Cultivate.”

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he turned and left.

The courtyard had already collapsed, but fortunately, the Second Elder had dug out a stone chamber; he decided to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment in the stone chamber tonight.

To have everything go as one wishes, one must become stronger; the strong are the truth.

As long as he is powerful, no matter what decision he makes, there will naturally be people to justify it for him.

Arriving at the stone chamber, Jiang Chen did not hesitate. He took out a Top-Grade Spirit Stone and circulated the Heaven and Earth Profound Origin Art. In an instant, it was like a whale sucking in the sky, drawing the rising tide into his belly.

With the combination of a powerful Cultivation Technique and the Top-Grade Spirit Stone, his Aura continued to rise.

”Focus the mind on the Dantian, return the Qi to the Purple Mansion, condense and compress, transform Qi into liquid...”

The Heaven and Earth Profound Origin Art technique flowed through his mind as Jiang Chen guided the surging spiritual energy within his body toward the final barrier.

Already possessing the powerful spiritual energy of the Qi Refining Twelfth Layer, coupled with the assistance of a Profound Rank technique, the final barrier was like paper, shattering immediately upon the arrival of the spiritual energy.

The majestic spiritual energy broke through the final barrier like a Dragon entering the sea, and a powerful Aura of the Foundation Establishment Realm erupted from him.

”Boom.”

The powerful spiritual energy fluctuations directly expanded the stone chamber by more than double its original size, and the stones on the walls turned into rubble and lime, falling down.

However, Jiang Chen continued; although he had broken through to Foundation Establishment, he still needed to stabilize.

The Spiritual Qi pouring out of the Top-Grade Spirit Stone continuously flowed into Jiang Chen’s body, and the majestic Aura radiating from him was steadily withdrawn.

Above.

Among the Clan Members who had taken the yellow dragon pill, some had already broken through their Realms—one, two, three... people continued to Breakthrough one after another. Jiang Feng and Jiang Xueqin also lived up to expectations, directly breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining with the help of a yellow dragon pill.

A twelve-year-old at the fourth level of Qi Refining—if a Sect found out, they might come directly to the door to forcibly take them as disciples.

Time passed slowly.

The next day.

All the Clan Members who took the yellow dragon pill had broken through a Realm; the three Elders directly stepped into the seventh level of Qi Refining, and over a dozen Clan Members reached the Sixth Level of Qi Refining.

Thinking back to a few days ago, the fifth level of Qi Refining was enough to become a Family Elder, but now, the Sixth Level of Qi Refining was everywhere. All of this was brought to them by the Clan Chief.

Thinking of this, they couldn’t help but think: how wonderful it would have been if Jiang Chen had become their Clan Chief sooner.

At this moment, Second Elder Jiang Liejun’s Aura continued to climb. Seeing this, the Clan Members retreated one after another, looking at the Second Elder with expressions of envy.

Looking at the situation, the Second Elder was about to Breakthrough to the eighth level of Qi Refining; their Jiang Family was truly becoming stronger and stronger.

Just as the Aura radiating from the Second Elder reached its critical point.

”Boom.”

It sounded as if something had shattered. Jiang Liejun’s Aura climbed again; the Breakthrough to the eighth level of Qi Refining was successful.

Slowly opening his eyes, Jiang Liejun felt the powerful spiritual energy in his body, and a smile immediately appeared on the corners of his mouth.

”Congratulations to the Second Elder on his Breakthrough.”

”Congratulations to the Second Elder on his Breakthrough.”

...Seeing Jiang Liejun wake up, the Clan Members stepped forward one by one to bow and offer their congratulations.

”Hahaha, congratulations to us all, congratulations to us all.”

Hearing everyone’s congratulations, the Second Elder was even happier. The eighth level of Qi Refining! In the past, even if I had the thought, I felt it would be something many years in the future.

Only a few days had passed, and he had directly broken through from the Sixth Level of Qi Refining to the eighth level of Qi Refining—two whole Realms. In the past, this was something he wouldn’t have dared to imagine.

These past few days of spiritual energy had been like a dream, so Xuanhuan.

”Boom.”

Just then, in one of the courtyards, a powerful Aura erupted again. Everyone looked toward that courtyard.

It turned out the Grand Elder had broken through. After taking the mirror-breaking pill, the Grand Elder had also broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

At this moment, in the stone chamber.

Jiang Chen finished his work and slowly woke up. At this moment, his Aura was incredibly stable.

Seeing that the sign-in had refreshed, Jiang Chen did not hesitate and signed in directly.

”System, sign in.”

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for a successful sign-in. You have obtained 10 heaven-grade aptitude pills.]

Seeing the items from the sign-in, Jiang Chen was immediately overjoyed.

However, he did not take them out immediately, deciding to wait a few days.

Walking out of the stone chamber, he soon appeared before everyone.

”Clan Chief.”

”Clan Chief.”

...Seeing Jiang Chen appear, everyone greeted him one after another.

”Alright, I’m going out for a bit. I’ll leave this place to you. We’ll talk about any issues later.”

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he flew toward the foot of the mountain.

As Jiang Chen left, the Grand Elder quickly instructed everyone to continue construction, this time using azure wood for everything.

”Grand Elder, I’ve come to help too.”

At this time, Ling Xuanye appeared and spoke respectfully to the Grand Elder.

If he wanted to integrate into the Jiang Clan as soon as possible, he had to take action. Otherwise, even if he was an Alchemist, others would only respect him but would not treat him as one of their own.

”This...”

The Grand Elder hesitated. This was an Alchemist, and although he was only a first-grade Alchemist, to their Jiang Family, he was a noble existence.

”Grand Elder, whatever you need me to do, I can do anything!”

Ling Xuanye continued.

”Alright, then go along with them.”

The Grand Elder pointed to a group of over a dozen Clan Members nearby and said.

”Okay.”

After Ling Xuanye finished speaking, he walked toward those dozen or so Jiang Family Clansmen.

”Hello, everyone. My name is Ling Xuanye. What do you need me to do?”

Walking up to them, Ling Xuanye asked politely.

”Then let’s do it together. First, help move these azure woods to that position.”

...Jiang Chen’s flight was once again obstructed, so he had no choice but to land and continue walking.

”System, what’s going on? Why can’t I fly out?”

[This is the natural Formation that comes with the System reward newbie gift pack to prevent others from entering. Otherwise, if you were discovered by others, how could you be so peaceful?]

”Then I should thank you.”

[No need to thank me, just remember it.]

Jiang Chen’s face was covered in black lines; this System.

”Can it be removed?”

[Yes, it can be removed once the Jiang Family territory is built.]

Once out of the range of the natural Formation, Jiang Chen took to the air again and headed toward Tianfeng City.

With his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, when he appeared at the gates of Tianfeng City this time, the gates had only been open for a short while.

Walking into the city, he soon appeared at the Tianfeng City market.

He had noticed on his last visit that the largest shop in this market was the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower in the very center.

If the things he needed this time weren’t here, he would have to go to other larger cities, but that would take several days.

Because almost all the cities near the Great Wilderness were small, and large cities could only be found further inland.

This was because the larger the city, the higher the Cultivation of the person needed to guard it, and the higher the Cultivation, the higher the grade of Spiritual Vein required.

If a Golden Core expert were to guard a city with only a First-Order Spiritual Vein, not only would the Spiritual Qi emitted by the Spiritual Vein be unable to support his Cultivation, but it would also result in the city’s cultivators having no Spiritual Qi to use.

As for Spirit Stones, a Qi Refining Family couldn’t possibly take out Spirit Stones for Cultivation; they all used Spirit Stones to buy Medicinal Pills, as the effects were better.

Jiang Chen walked to the front of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and stepped inside.
