The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

62: Chapter 62 SurvivalWhen the last Desolate Beast fell, everyone showed a look of relief.

Victory.

The feeling of surviving the disaster felt like a dream to them.

”Boom.”

After the calm came the outburst of victory, with cheers echoing endlessly.

They had survived; it was as if they had experienced a Rebirth, and with this experience, countless people were like a phoenix undergoing a Rebirth through fire.

At this moment, a sudden outburst occurred. Under the shocked gazes of some, others naturally achieved a Breakthrough in their Realm after experiencing this battle.

For a time, surges of Breakthrough Aura continuously erupted.

”Hahaha, I broke through! I broke through!”

”Me too! Hahaha! Where are more Desolate Beasts? I can take on ten more!”

”It’s been ten years, and I can actually still achieve a Breakthrough. Heaven has been kind to me.”

For a time, the sounds of joy were endless.

”I broke through?”

A young man in his twenties felt the Aura emanating from himself with a dazed look, finding it somewhat hard to believe.

One must know he had been stuck at the Sixth Level of Qi Refining for three or four years. Coming to the Qingyun Market this time, he had also wanted to see if there were any Opportunity for him to achieve a Breakthrough in his Realm.

But he never expected that instead of seeing an Opportunity, he would first have to face the crisis of a Desolate Beast Tide.

In despair, he could only join the other cultivators to resist this Desolate Beast Tide.

But what he never expected was that after experiencing this crisis, his Realm actually achieved a Breakthrough.

Jiang Family Village.

The commotion from the battle that broke out earlier had left them trembling with fear, terrified that a Desolate Beast would suddenly emerge and devour them.

However, amidst their trembling and fear, not a single Desolate Beast appeared.

Until finally, when no more movement came from that direction, the sudden silence immediately set their imaginations running wild.

”Clan Elder, how is it going over there?”

A Clan Member looked at the Clan Elder and asked cautiously.

In their hearts, the Clan Elder’s knowledge was the greatest; as long as there was a question they didn’t know, asking the Clan Elder would surely provide an answer.

But this time, the Clan Elder did not answer immediately. Instead, his eyes looked ahead, as if he could pierce through the forest before him and see the battlefield.

After a long while, the Clan Elder slowly spoke, his aged voice carrying firmness.

”The Clan Chief and the others have won.”

”How do you know, Elder?”

The Clan Member named Jiang Erhu asked, unconvinced.

Although the Clan Elder’s answers had been perfect in the past, this time it involved cultivators and Desolate Beasts. Could an ordinary person like them know about the affairs of cultivators?

However, facing Jiang Erhu’s doubt, the Clan Elder only smiled without saying a word.

”Alright, it’s late. Everyone, go back and rest early.”

The Clan Elder waved his hand and walked toward his home, leaning on his cane.

Soon, many people also left one after another, heading toward their own homes.

”Clan Elder, Clan Elder, you haven’t answered me yet!”

Seeing everyone preparing to leave, Jiang Erhu hurriedly tried to step forward and stop the Clan Elder.

Soon, another Clan Member stopped Jiang Erhu, preventing him from disturbing the Clan Elder.

”Why are you stopping me?”

Jiang Erhu asked.

”What are you asking for? Everyone can see it. Now that there’s no movement at all, it means the Desolate Beasts have been dealt with. What else is there to ask?”

This Clan Member looked at Jiang Erhu and said helplessly.

”Oh, that’s true.”

Hearing this explanation, Jiang Erhu slapped his head and suddenly understood.

On the other side, Jiang Chen saw the last Desolate Beast fall, but his eyes were sharp as he looked toward the Deep part of the Great Wilderness ahead.

However, he still sent a Sound Transmission to the Grand Elder.

Hearing the Clan Chief’s Sound Transmission, the Grand Elder immediately became serious.

”The Desolate Beast Tide has been resolved. Everyone can go back.”

The Grand Elder’s voice rang out across the entire field.

”Let’s go back!”

Soon, they all headed toward Qingyun Mountain, but as they set off, they all scavenged their own spoils of war.

One must know these were Desolate Beasts, each with a massive body. Taking them back to sell at the market would earn them a good amount of Spirit Stone.

Seeing their own spoils, many people suddenly felt that it wouldn’t be so bad if this Desolate Beast Tide happened a few more times.

Once everyone left, the place became quiet.

Jiang Chen stared intently at the pitch-black Deep part of the Great Wilderness ahead.

He felt danger—a hair-raising sense of danger.

One must know that during this time, although trivial matters had delayed his cultivation, he had still achieved a Breakthrough to the Fourth Level of Golden Core. Now, as long as he didn’t face a Nascent Soul Ancestor, he had the confidence to kill his opponent.

Yet now, this feeling of danger made his hair stand on end, forcing him to treat it with gravity.

Just then.

In the Deep part of the Great Wilderness, a pair of eyes emerged, gazing at Jiang Chen.

Being gazed at by this pair of eyes, Jiang Chen felt as if he were in a ten-thousand-year-old ice pond, as if he would be frozen into an ice sculpture in the next moment.

Jiang Chen did not move. He didn’t know what the consequences of moving would be. Not knowing what would happen next, he could only maintain the strategy of not moving if the enemy didn’t move.

After an unknown amount of time, those eyes finally slowly disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

”Whew—”

Jiang Chen let out a long breath, and his tense body and mind immediately relaxed.

A trace of cold sweat unknowingly appeared on his cheeks.

”System, are you there?”

Jiang Chen called out to the System in his mind.

Earlier, under the gaze of those terrifying eyes, he had called the System, but it hadn’t responded then.

Now that the terrifying eyes had disappeared, he called the System again.

At this moment, the slight sense of accomplishment he felt after achieving a Breakthrough to the Golden Core was immediately reined in. He had thought that as long as he didn’t encounter a Nascent Soul Ancestor, he could be reckless, but now he had been harshly slapped in the face.

He had thought that even if a Golden Core Stage Desolate Beast appeared in this Desolate Beast Tide, he would have no worries.

As it turned out, he didn’t encounter a Golden Core Stage Desolate Beast, but instead met a pair of terrifying eyes.

Those eyes were too terrifying; they didn’t seem like a Desolate Beast. If it were a Desolate Beast, Jiang Chen felt that a city like Tianlin City could never have been built.

However, no matter how Jiang Chen called, the System gave no response.

After a long while, Jiang Chen sped toward Qingyun Mountain.

Now he felt a sense of urgency; his cultivation Realm was still too low. After returning this time, he had to achieve a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul as soon as possible.

His current Golden Core strength was still too weak; he felt his life was in danger just from a pair of eyes.

Returning to the Jiang Clans ancestral land, he spoke with several Elders. Without even going home, he went straight to a vacant Immortal Cave and began his closed-door cultivation.

For a time, after experiencing this Desolate Beast Tide, the Jiang Family’s Clan Members also began to Cultivate desperately.

They had all felt the cruelty of this Desolate Beast Tide. Those who went from the market to provide support lost nearly one-fifth of their numbers. If it weren’t for the Clan Chief looking after them, perhaps more than half of the Clan Members would not have returned.

For a time, the atmosphere of the Jiang Family suddenly became different. Even in the Qingyun Market, the Jiang Family Clansmen who could usually be seen suddenly seemed to have vanished.

In the market, those who had initially planned to leave suddenly stayed behind. Although the losses from this Desolate Beast Tide were great, and some people’s friends and relatives remained on that battlefield forever.

But similarly, the gains for those who returned were far greater than before.

With these resources, many people were confident that their cultivation would see a Breakthrough in the coming period.

(Merry Christmas)
