Chapter 152: Sword Dao Realms: Jiang Dao Yun, Who Left Many Years Ago!

Jiang Chen continuously improved his physique and accelerated his cultivation using Immortal Fire.

Under his fanatical, almost possessed cultivation, his cultivation base has now broken through to Purple Mansion Realm Level 4!

As for sword Dao, due to spending most of his time immersed in cultivation, he has only reached the Late Stage of Sword Qi Realm.

【Sword Dao Realms: Sword Technique, Sword Qi, Sword Yuan, Sword Intent (Sword Lord), Sword Heart (Sword Marquis), Sword Spirit (Sword King), Sword Soul (Sword Saint), Sword Dao (Sword Emperor), Sword Realm (Sword Emperor)】

Although he has not yet comprehended Sword Intent, with his Purple Mansion Realm Level 4 cultivation base, he has become the fourth strongest in the Jiang Clan after Jiang Daoxuan, the Grand Elder, and Gu Xingjian!

With Jiang Chen and Jiang Yan both reaching the Purple Mansion Realm, the entire Cangwu Mountain was thrown into uproar.

This news rapidly spread throughout the surrounding regions via the market at the mountain's base.

Numerous sects and clans learned that the Cangwu Jiang Clan had produced two teenage prodigies.

To break through to the Purple Mansion Realm before the age of twenty—such talent is simply astonishing!

It filled the hearts of all sect leaders and clan heads with intense envy and bitter resentment.

Every one of them simultaneously thought the same thing.

How could the Jiang Clan be so lucky? They already had one monster in Jiang Daoxuan, and now two more monsters emerge to torment them!

The leaders of all major powers wore expressions of bitter envy.

Yet no one expected that the Jiang Clan's prodigies were not just two.

Jiang Han followed the principle of stealthy development and remained unknown.

But secretly, through intense cultivation, he has now reached Foundation Establishment Realm Level 8, becoming one of the top ten strongest in the Jiang Clan!

Even this rate of progress was not the fastest for him.

If he activated the Huang Quan Devil Art to absorb others' essence, energy, and spirit to aid his cultivation, he might already have reached the Purple Mansion Realm.

Yet cultivating steadily within Cangwu Mountain, though slower, is far safer.

Jiang Han had already decided in his heart: once he breaks through to the Purple Mansion Realm and gains self-preservation strength, he will leave Cangwu Mountain to train in the outside world—no rush.

Meanwhile, although clan members had made tremendous progress, Jiang Daoxuan's advancement was even greater.

Leveraging the combined cultivation base of the entire clan as a reverse nourishment, plus his own two months of cultivation results.

He shattered barriers as easily as drinking water—his cultivation base has now reached Star Wheel Realm Level 6!

Beyond cultivation, Jiang Daoxuan also achieved remarkable progress in sword Dao.

Not only did he enter the Sword Heart Realm, but he also cultivated it to a Minor Success level!

Now, once news of his Sword Heart comprehension spreads, his title of Sword Lord will inevitably become history, swiftly replaced by Sword Marquis!

After mastering Sword Heart, Jiang Daoxuan cultivated the Saint-Class Upper Grade Killing Heaven Sword Art, greatly enhancing his killing techniques and successfully replacing Ten Thousand Swords Pay Homage as his current strongest sword technique!

After two months of consolidation, with his own strength combined with the collective power of the clan members,

In this region, the Cangwu Jiang Clan now has no weaknesses whatsoever—far surpassing its former weak foundations, becoming a true dominant power!

On this day, Jiang Daoxuan, having just finished cultivation, suddenly received a system prompt.

【Ding~ Influenced by clan fortune nourishment, the Hong Meng Tree has advanced to Level Two, unlocking new effects】

【Unlocking effects:

Level Two Awakening: Slightly increases the comprehension of clan members within the clan's territory.

Level One Resolve: Slightly increases the fighting spirit of clan members within the clan's territory.

Level One Epiphany: Low probability of causing clan members within the clan's territory to enter a state of sudden enlightenment.

Level One Blessing: All newborns born within the clan's territory receive a slight enhancement to their physical constitution.】

Seeing that after ascending to Level Two, the Hong Meng Tree not only upgraded its Awakening effect but also added three new Level One effects,

Jiang Daoxuan's face broke into a satisfied smile.

Through this period of development, he had come to understand the role of clan fortune more deeply.

Recently, many clan members had gone out to train and returned with absurdly lucky stories—avoiding disaster, stumbling upon spirit herbs, and more.

Seeing each report, Jiang Daoxuan realized these events were surely influenced by clan fortune.

What troubled him was: if clan fortune continued to grow, could it one day lead to clan members stumbling upon Immortal Artifacts just by walking, finding Divine Scripture Manuals after falling off cliffs, receiving the legacies of powerful cultivators, and everyone becoming a Fortune-Endowed Child, the destined protagonist?

Imagining that scene, Jiang Daoxuan felt immense interest.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

In a certain mountain range,

A burly, bearded middle-aged man walked through the forest, carrying a massive bow and a precious saber at his waist.

Behind him followed two teenage boys.

A pale-skinned, resolute boy reached out, pulling the hand of a black-clad boy as they advanced together.

The black-clad boy's eyes were wrapped in black cloth; he stumbled as he walked, entirely dependent on his companion to guide him.

After walking dozens of steps, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped.

He looked around and murmured: "I heard someone once found Qingxuan Grass here—I hope we find some this time..."

Noticing the stop, the black-clad boy asked, confused: "Uncle Yun, do you think we can ever return to our clan?"

The middle-aged man turned to face the two boys behind him and said gravely: "Yi'er, I promised your father I would safely bring you both home. Now that I've reached the Ocean Realm, as long as I keep searching, I will find the way back!"

The middle-aged man was Jiang Yan's father—Jiang Dao Yun, who had left Xuancheng Jiang Clan for many years.

Hearing this, Jiang Yi let out a faint sigh and said no more.

Noticing Jiang Yi's despair, the younger Jiang Hao gripped his brother's hand, eyes bright and speaking with intense seriousness: "Don't worry! Uncle Yun is now an Ocean Realm cultivator—he'll definitely take us home!"

As Jiang Hao's childish voice faded,

Jiang Dao Yun's face darkened with sorrow; he slowly turned his gaze forward, his pupils filled with uncertainty about the future.

Several years ago, for reasons unknown, his fortune had plummeted, and he had narrowly escaped death multiple times.

Though he had been lucky enough to survive, his clan brother Jiang Daoqi, who had come with him, had not been so fortunate.

Because their family was weak, in search of protection, Jiang Daoqi spent a great price to secure connections, intending to send the young Jiang Yi and Jiang Hao to a sect guarded by an Ocean Realm expert for training.

Originally, Jiang Daoyun was to take Jiang Yi and Jiang Hao along on his journey.

But because Jiang Daoqi had lost his wife early in life and had only these two sons, he could not bear to let them leave alone, so he volunteered to join Jiang Daoyun's party.

The four traveled together.

Then, in the midst of an accident,

Jiang Daoqi died tragically, and before his death, he entrusted these two children to him.

During this time, Jiang Yi was stabbed in the eyes while protecting Jiang Hao, losing his sight.
