Chapter 11: The Ji Clan Rises
The Ji Clan had barely been founded, yet its presence was already felt across the cultivation world. Fang Yuan's name carried weight, and the addition of his newborn daughter, Jessica, made the clan's influence undeniable.
Even at only a few months old, Jessica displayed signs of extraordinary potential. Subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy radiated from her tiny form, attracting the attention of cultivators who came to pay their respects.
Fang Yuan watched her calmly, a confident glint in his eyes. The system had already granted him a lottery chance when Jessica was born. [Lottery Chance Recorded: 1/10] It was a treasure that could change the Ji Clan's destiny—but for now, he chose patience. The child's natural talent had to be observed first.
"Grand Elder," Fang Yuan said, turning to his sister with quiet authority, "you will manage the Ji Clan's affairs and guide our people. Protect Jessica, and ensure the clan grows stronger with each passing day."
His sister bowed deeply. "Yes, brother. I will dedicate myself to the Ji Clan."
Outside the clan's hall, powerful cultivators whispered among themselves. They had come expecting to see an infant, yet they could sense Jessica's aura—subtle, yet extraordinary. Even seasoned cultivators felt an unshakable certainty: this child was no ordinary heir.
Fang Yuan observed silently, considering the clan's structure and strategy. Every move had to be precise. The Ji Clan could not simply exist—it had to dominate. Resources would be carefully allocated, alliances strategically formed, and every cultivator's talent maximized.
That night, in the quiet of his study, Fang Yuan examined the clan's current position. The system's lottery chance glimmered in his mind. "This first chance will be the foundation of the Ji Clan's future," he murmured. "Jessica's potential must be cultivated, and our clan's position must be unassailable. Only then will the Ji Clan truly rise."
Jessica slept peacefully in her cradle, her tiny body radiating a faint spiritual light. Fang Yuan's lips curved into a confident smile. The seed had been sown, the Ji Clan had its roots, and the first move in a long game of power had already been made.
From this day forward, the Ji Clan would rise swiftly, guided by strategy, talent, and the unseen hand of the system. And at its center would be Jessica, the first child of Fang Yuan, destined to surpass all expectations and carve a legacy that would shake the cultivation world.
