The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

155: Preparations for the Ancestral Temple of the Zhang ClanWith Jiang Suhai’s Breakthrough and the formation of Nascent Soul combat power, the Jiang Family’s Land Reclamation speed suddenly accelerated.

Previously, limited by the lack of high-tier combat power, the Jiang Family’s Land Reclamation scope always hovered within a hundred-mile radius of Qingyun Mountain, being constrained by the powerful Yao Beasts and complex terrain in the Deep part of the Great Wilderness.

Now, with six Nascent Souls in the entire Jiang Family, Jiang Chen decided to continue Land Reclamation, searching for Spiritual Veins in the Deep part of the Great Wilderness, with Nascent Souls assigned to guard the Spiritual Veins.

For a time, the entire Jiang Family mobilized. The Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had just joined were divided into six groups, each led by one of the six Nascent Souls.

Under Jiang Chen’s leadership, they blazed a trail, killing any desolate beasts they encountered and breaking through any dangerous areas. The six Nascent Souls then led the Clan Members closely behind, setting up Spirit Gathering Formations, Spirit Guiding Formations, and defensive formations in the newly opened dry-tier Spiritual Vein areas, establishing strongholds, opening markets, and planting spiritual fields. Jiang Chen, sitting at the center, covered the entire Land Reclamation area with his Divine Soul power, ready to respond to any emergencies.

The Clan Members of the Jiang Family experienced an explosive growth in their Cultivation during this grand Land Reclamation movement.

The Spiritual Vein of Qingyun Mountain became even richer after Jiang Chen integrated the sixth-tier spirit vein. Coupled with the continuous discovery and integration of low-tier Spiritual Veins and natural spiritual springs during Land Reclamation, the Spiritual Qi concentration within the entire Qingyun Mountain territory increased several times compared to before.

More importantly, the Jiang Family obtained a continuous supply of Cultivation resources through deep cooperation with the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.

Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills needed by low-tier Cultivators, Heaven And Earth Treasures required for Middle Stage Cultivators to Break Through, and Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals for high-tier Cultivators were continuously transported to Qingyun Mountain through Steward Wen Yiluo’s channels.

Under such exceptionally favorable conditions, the Breakthroughs of the Jiang Family Clansmen emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Xueqin, only twelve years old, were the elites of the Jiang Family’s younger generation. They had already achieved Foundation Establishment and, benefiting from the Medicinal Pills distributed by the Family and the rich Spiritual Qi, successfully achieved Golden Core in just three months, becoming the youngest Golden Core Cultivators in the Jiang Family.

Other Disciples of the Jiang Family, despite their ordinary Aptitude, managed to Break Through their Bottlenecks and advance to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and Late Stage by assisting their Cultivation with the Yao Cores obtained from killing Yao Beasts during Land Reclamation.

Even Jiang Fu, who was over fifty years old and originally just an ordinary Clan Member of the Family, successfully achieved Foundation Establishment with ample resource supply, realizing a transformation from an ordinary Qi Refining Cultivator to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

According to Jiang Family statistics, in just a few months, the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Clan increased from over thirty to more than a hundred, an increase of over three times.

Currently, the Jiang Family, excluding Guest Elders and the five Elders in seclusion, has fifteen Golden Core Cultivators, and Foundation Establishment Cultivators are spread throughout various strongholds, forming a stable Cultivator echelon.

The cooperation between the Jiang Family and the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, driven by Steward Wen Yiluo, had long surpassed mere resource transactions.

This person in charge of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower on Qingyun Mountain, dressed in a water-green long dress, with a beautiful and intelligent appearance, had achieved astonishing profits since cooperating with the Jiang Family.

She not only provided the Jiang Family with the most favorable resource prices but also actively shared key information such as maps of the Deep part of the Great Wilderness, Yao Beast distribution, and ancient ruins. She even utilized the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower’s intelligence network to help the Jiang Family avoid several plots by other forces.

The rapid development of the Jiang Family in Qingyun Mountain during this period not only made the surrounding nations envious but also some powerful Sects and Cultivators.

In return, the Jiang Family prioritized supplying exclusive resources such as rare Ores, ancient spiritual plants, and Yao Beast inner cores discovered during Land Reclamation to the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, forming a deeply bound, mutually beneficial partnership.

On this day, on Welcoming Peak of Qingyun Mountain, Steward Wen Yiluo visited again.

This time, she brought a new batch of foundation establishment pills refined by the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and ten ’barrier-breaking pills’ needed by Golden Core Realm Cultivators for Breakthrough, as well as important news.

”Clan Leader Jiang.”

Steward Wen Yiluo played with a luminous white jade pendant, her smile gentle.

”My Ten Thousand Treasures Tower has discovered an ancient Cultivator’s medicinal garden in the central part of the Great Wilderness, where ’Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Grass’ grows. This grass can help people Break Through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, which is a supreme treasure for several Nascent Soul Elders of the Jiang Family. However, the periphery of the medicinal garden is guarded by Soul Transformation Stage Yao Beasts. Although my Ten Thousand Treasures Tower has the strength to take it, we are unwilling to suffer losses. Is the Jiang Family interested in cooperating?”

Jiang Suhai and the other Nascent Soul Ancestors exchanged glances, their eyes filled with eagerness.

Although the Jiang Family has six Nascent Souls, they are all in the Early Stage or Middle Stage. If they could Break Through to the Late Stage with the help of the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Grass, their strength would undoubtedly reach a new level.

”Is what Steward Wen said true?”

Jiang Suhai couldn’t help but ask first, his voice deep.

”Naturally, it’s true.”

Steward Wen Yiluo handed over a Jade Slip.

”This is the approximate location of the medicinal garden and information about the Yao Beasts. The Jiang Family only needs to send three Nascent Soul Elders to cooperate with two Nascent Souls from my Ten Thousand Treasures Tower to ensure success. The Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Grass obtained will be split 30/70 between the Jiang Family and the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, with the Jiang Family getting seven. How about it?”

With such generous conditions, the Nascent Soul Ancestors were all greatly moved, and they all looked at Jiang Chen, who was at the head, waiting for his decision.

Jiang Chen did not hesitate and immediately made a decision.

”Good! Then, three days from now, I will personally go, accompanied by Elder Lin, Elder Zhao, and Elder Chen.”

”Yes, Clan Chief,” the three Elders, Lin Feng, responded in unison.

Steward Wen Yiluo smiled charmingly.

”That’s excellent. Also, news recently came from the Ancestral Court that they will be holding the Ancestral Court Grand Competition of the Human Race. All major forces must send people to participate. The Jiang Family’s strength has greatly increased, so you must have received an invitation, right?”

When the Ancestral Court Grand Competition was mentioned, a glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes.

”Indeed, we have received it. This is a good opportunity for my Jiang Family to showcase itself in the Human Ancestral Court.”

At the same time, far away in the Ancestral Court, the core of the Human Race territory, in a majestic palace suspended in the clouds, Cang Xuan, the Human Ancestor of the Human Race, sat on his throne.

Human Ancestor Cang Xuan wore a golden dragon-patterned Daoist robe, his face ancient, exuding an unfathomable pressure that seemed to merge with heaven and earth. His gaze swept over the Elders standing below, and he said in a deep voice:

”My Human Race has been here for a hundred thousand years, but in recent years, there have been unusual movements of desolate beasts in the Great Wilderness. If we do not rectify internally and gather our strength, there may be a catastrophe. This Ancestral Court Grand Competition is not only to select the outstanding talents of the younger generation but also to use this opportunity to integrate the major forces and resist foreign aggression together.”

Great Elder Ji Chang Geng, who stood at the forefront below theYour Highness, with hair as white as snow, dressed in a green Elder’s robe and holding a whisk, bowed and said:

”Human Ancestor, rest assured. Your subordinate has already begun preparations for the Grand Competition. This Grand Competition will be divided into three groups: Youth Group, Middle-aged Group, and Elderly Group. Participants in the Youth Group must not exceed thirty years of age and must be at Foundation Establishment or above; the Middle-aged Group must not exceed one hundred years of age and must be at Golden Core or above; the Elderly Group has no age limit and must be at Nascent Soul or above.”
