The Jiang Family's back mountain.
A handsome man in a blood-stained white robe, his face deathly pale, sat on a prayer mat.
Where is this?
He looked at the unfamiliar scene before him, falling into a state of confusion.
Before he could figure out the situation, a massive amount of memories suddenly flooded into his mind.
I actually transmigrated?
Jiang Daoxuan rubbed his aching head.
In just the blink of an eye, he had transmigrated as the Patriarch of the Jiang Family, one of the four great families in Wudan City.
According to his memories, his predecessor had remained at the Innate Realm Perfection for a long time. To achieve a Breakthrough in his Realm, he had resolutely come to the Forbidden Land in the back mountain to begin secluded cultivation.
However, on the first day of his seclusion, because someone had tampered with his Breakthrough Medicinal Pill beforehand, the Breakthrough failed, and he unfortunately perished.
But all of that was secondary.
Most importantly, because the Breakthrough failed, he had now lost all his Realm and become a useless person without even the strength to truss a chicken!
This is a bit bad...
Jiang Daoxuan's expression was solemn.
This world was an extraordinary world where thousands of great powers were concentrated in one's self!
This was a paradise for the strong; the supreme experts could move mountains and fill seas, pluck stars and seize the moon, and be the Dominator of everything!
Yet it was a Hell for the weak; the weak were like weeds, and with the slightest carelessness, they would be shaken to death by the aftershocks of a battle between the strong!
In such a crazy world, given his current state of having no cultivation at all.
His personal safety simply could not be guaranteed!
And that wasn't even the worst part.
In his memories, the other three great families had long been eyeing the Jiang Family like tigers watching their prey.
He didn't even know how long he had been in seclusion. What was the current situation of the Jiang Family?
Jiang Daoxuan's brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with worry.
Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
[Ding~ The Strongest Family System has been activated! Abnormal host status detected; the Newbie Gift Pack has been automatically opened.]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining "Chaotic Dao Pupils", "Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo", and "Clan Total Sum".]
[Chaotic Dao Pupils: Pupils of the Great Dao born before heaven and earth were divided and Chaos was opened. They will gradually unseal as the host's strength increases. The Eye of Insight is now unsealed, capable of seeing through the information of living beings whose Realm does not exceed the host's by more than two major Realms.]
[Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo: A supreme Physique formed by the Fusion of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body and the Innate Dao Fetus! It is impervious to all evils, suppresses anomalies, and possesses an invincible Physical Body and power close to the Dao. Once fused, the System will reshape this Physical Body, transforming it into the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo Physique that best fits the host's Soul.]
[Clan Total Sum: Permanently obtain the sum of all "clansmen's" cultivation. The stronger the clansmen, the stronger the effect of the Clan Total Sum.]
[Note: If a clansman dies, it will not affect the host's cultivation. Furthermore, the Clan Total Sum has no conflict with the host's own cultivation; it is in a state of perfect stacking, and the host can still continue to Cultivate.]
Jiang Daoxuan was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
It truly was a case of "when the mountains and rivers seem to end and there's no way out, a bright village appears amidst the willows and flowers"!
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately fused the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo.
In the next moment.
A faint golden halo began to appear on the surface of Jiang Daoxuan's skin.
The powerful Physique close to the Dao resonated with the Great Dao.
Thousands of strands of Dao Rhyme fell from the Void Realm, surrounding his body and helping him enter a state of realization!
From between heaven and earth, faint sounds of the Dao echoed, five-colored auspicious signs emerged, and golden lotuses sprang up from the earth!
A massive amount of Great Dao power washed over his body, causing his withered-wood-like body to radiate boundless vitality once again!
His skin was as brilliant as divine jade, and his entire body emitted strands of fragrance like divine medicine, filling the air.
After a long while.
When Jiang Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes.
His body was already filled with surging vitality.
He raised his palm and found it had become as translucent as jade, pure and flawless.
After successfully fusing the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo and completing the Physical Body reshaping.
This Physical Body became more compatible with his Soul, achieving the union of Soul and body.
Although his appearance hadn't changed at all, he had already undergone a massive transformation internally!
In a sense, this Physical Body completely belonged to him, equivalent to a physical Transmigration rather than just a Soul Transmigration.
But this was fine too.
After all, using someone else's Physical Body was inevitably a bit uncomfortable.
Fortunately, after completing the Physical Body reshaping, all these problems no longer existed.
Jiang Daoxuan shook his head.
Then, he pulled himself together, dispersed the Dao Rhyme anomalies around him, and used "Clan Total Sum".
In an instant, the surrounding spiritual power rioted, scrambling to drill into his body.
A massive amount of Spiritual Qi flowed through his limbs and bones, frantically washing over his entire body's muscles and bones.
His Realm soared frantically until the Innate true essence gathered in his Dantian began to cause a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation!
Strands of true essence were compressed, transforming into Yuan Power!
With a loud boom, a large amount of Yuan Power condensed, and in an instant, a space in the Void Realm was opened within his Dantian!
Purple Qi lingered in the Void Realm, nourishing the Divine Soul and manifesting Divine Sense!
Innate Realm Perfection!
First Level of the Purple Mansion Realm!
Second Level of the Purple Mansion Realm!
Third Level of the Purple Mansion Realm!
Jiang Daoxuan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like lightning, Soul-stirring!
Phew.
A mouthful of turbid Qi was exhaled like an arrow, instantly piercing the ground and leaving a small pit!
Is this what the Purple Mansion Realm is like? If this were in my past life, I would probably be like a little Superman, right?
Jiang Daoxuan felt quite emotional in his heart.
In this world, the Realms are divided into Body Refining, Blood Condensation, Bone Forging, Acquired, Innate, Purple Mansion, Profund sea, Star Wheel, Moon Wheel, Sun Wheel, Myriad Phenomena, Primordial Spirit, Deva, Saint, Saint King, Great Saint, Quasi-Emperor, and Great Emperor.
Now, after successfully breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm.
Not only had he opened a Purple Mansion space to store external objects.
But the true essence in his body had also completely transformed into Yuan Power!
Once he used Yuan Power, he could directly achieve flight through the air!
In the eyes of Mortals, this Realm was already no different from an Earth Immortal!
[Ding~ Detected that the host's status has returned to normal; the Investment Rebate function has been activated.]
[Investment Rebate: The host invests in clansmen, which can trigger different levels of critical rebates to obtain rewards!]
[Investment levels are divided into nine Ranks: Black, Gray, White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold, Red, and Seven-Colored. The higher the Rank, the more generous the reward!]
Invest in clansmen?
Jiang Daoxuan was stunned at first, then his face took on a strange expression.
It seems the System wants me to go further and further on the path of being helpful and providing timely assistance.
However, this feeling of feeding the sheep grass and then shearing the wool seems quite good?
At this moment, an illusory panel quietly appeared before his eyes.
[Name: Jiang Daoxuan]
[Cultivation: Third Level of the Purple Mansion Realm]
[Bone Structure: Immortal Talent (Original: Superior)]
[Comprehension Ability: Immortal Talent (Original: Superior)]
[Talent: Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo]
[Family Luck: 444]
[Detected that the host's Family is in trouble; please come forward to resolve it as soon as possible.]
Hmm? The Family is in trouble?
Jiang Daoxuan was taken aback, then a cold light flashed in his eyes.
...
At the same time, in the Jiang Family hall.
A group of Jiang Family members gathered here, the atmosphere tense and heavy.
Everyone knew that today's matter was no small thing, so they all remained silent, only the sound of their heavy breathing could be heard.
Standing in the position facing the door was a group of uninvited guests who had suddenly visited.
These people were all dressed in gray martial attire, holding long sabers that gleamed with cold light; they were the forces of the rival Tang Family.
The leader was the Tang Family Patriarch, "Tang Zhengyang," whose cultivation had reached the Ninth Level of the Innate Realm Perfection.
At this moment, Tang Zhengyang had a calm expression. After casually scanning the layout of the hall, he shook his head: "Is this your Jiang Family's Council Hall? Why is it so small? It's not even as big as my Tang Family's latrine."
"I was originally thinking about how extraordinary the place that could give birth to a talent like Jiang Daoxuan must be. Now that I see it, I'm truly disappointed. It would have been better not to see it."
"However, for one of the four great families to be so impoverished, it's simply a disgrace to all of us. How about this? On behalf of the Tang Family, I'll bestow ten taels of silver upon your Jiang Family to help you renovate it?"
Hearing Tang Zhengyang's shameless words, the veins on the Jiang Family Grand Elder's forehead throbbed.
If it weren't for you pressing us at every step, how could my Jiang Family have fallen to such a state?
Feeling indignant but wanting to avoid trouble, the Grand Elder suppressed his inner anger and said in a deep voice, "This is our Jiang Family's own business. There's no need for Patriarch Tang to worry about it."
"Own business? That's not quite right. After all, your Jiang Family was once a vassal of our Tang Family seeking protection. With such a connection, why have you become so distant?"
"Or is it that you, having been promoted to one of the four great families, have forgotten this past origin and believe your Jiang Family has completely broken free from our Tang Family's control? Is that why you treat us as outsiders and don't take us seriously?"
Tang Zhengyang looked up, his gaze cold, his voice carrying a hint of mockery.
Seeing the other party suddenly making things difficult, the Grand Elder immediately realized that they had come specifically to look for trouble.
His face suddenly darkened: "Patriarch Tang! My Jiang Family ceased to be a vassal of your Tang Family hundreds of years ago. What is your intention in bringing up old matters now? Is it merely to humiliate my Jiang Family?!"
Tang Zhengyang folded his arms, a look of contempt on his face, his tone full of mockery: "Hahaha, then just take it as humiliation."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately drew glares from the Jiang Family members.
"That's not right. How can a pack of house dogs bare their teeth at their former master?"
"However, I don't dislike seeing this pitiful look of yours where you clearly can't stand me but can't get rid of me either."
Tang Zhengyang shrugged his shoulders.
In the past, when Jiang Daoxuan was still around, he wouldn't have dared to be so insolent, but now those worries were gone.
Faced with Tang Zhengyang's arrogant and supercilious behavior, the anger in the hearts of all the Jiang Family members rose rapidly, the fire of rage burning brighter and brighter, making them tremble all over with rage!
For a moment, public indignation was aroused, and everyone shouted rebukes.
The Grand Elder also clenched his fists, beyond furious.
Amidst his resentment, a bit of sorrow couldn't help but rise in his heart.
Patriarch, if only you were still here, how good it would be...
If their own Patriarch Jiang Daoxuan were still here, how would the mere Tang Family dare to be so insolent!
But now, the Patriarch had entrusted the Family to him and had been in seclusion for six years, his life or death unknown.
And as the strongest member of the Family, he only had a cultivation at the Seventh Level of the Innate Realm.
How could he withstand this menacing Tang Family?
