Chapter 238: The Stunned Jiang Chen, Sima Nan's Guess

Seeing this, Jiang Daoxuan's face showed understanding.

He had been wondering why, as clan head, he had never heard any news about the treasure box.

But now, he finally had a lead.

According to the records of the Jiang clan annals.

The Jiang clan of that year had once erupted in a great upheaval.

All because Ancestor Hongxuan had suddenly died a violent death.

The clan head candidate chosen in advance was not the clansman with the strongest strength or ability, but the junior the other party doted on most.

This caused great dissatisfaction among many clansmen, who then attacked and killed the clan head of that time.

Subsequently, an internal strife broke out, causing the Jiang clan to suffer heavy losses.

Once the internal strife subsided.

Those who had taken part in the internal strife were all demoted to develop in other cities.

Gradually forming the various branch clans that came later.

It was precisely because of having gone through this matter.

That the new clan head of that time later focused on setting things right, rectifying the clan's discipline, and ultimately built up the present-day solidarity of shared roots and branches.

Linking this matter with the matter of the treasure box, Jiang Daoxuan instantly had a guess.

Presumably it was precisely because that pitiable clan head chosen by Ancestor Hongxuan died in this internal strife.

That caused everyone who knew the news of the treasure box to die.

This alone kept the treasure box from being passed down to the successive clan heads who came later.

It could only be left behind in the ancestral shrine, unknown to anyone.

It was not until Ding Xuan sent people to repair and refurbish the ancestral residence that the treasure box finally saw the light of day again.

Having thought through the connections within, Jiang Daoxuan did not know what to say.

At this moment, seeing the clan head remain silent, Jiang Chen lowered his head and did not choose to interrupt.

Until Jiang Daoxuan put away the fierce beast hide and slowly said, "Regarding the origins of this object, I have already traced them clearly. However, it was not left behind by Ancestor Hongxuan, but by Ancestor Zheren......."

As the words fell, Jiang Chen could not help but be greatly shocked.

He had never expected that this iron box could actually be connected to Ancestor Zheren.

But even though his heart was filled with astonishment, he still did not ask more.

After all, if the clan head wanted to tell him, he would naturally do so.

If not, it merely meant the timing was not yet ripe.

At this moment, seeing Jiang Chen's well-behaved appearance, Jiang Daoxuan could not help but nod.

He did not continue to go deeper into the topic of the treasure box, but shifted the subject, speaking of other matters: "How has your cultivation been lately? If you have any doubts, you may seek me to resolve them."

After advancing to the Moon Wheel realm, guiding a Yuan Sea realm Jiang Chen was truly the easiest thing in the world.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's gaze shifted slightly, suddenly thinking of something.

During these past days, although he had no confusion regarding cultivation.

The special physique he had suddenly awakened not long ago, however, was a big problem.

Thus, he raised his head and began to tell everything about his awakening of the special physique, in full detail.

The moment he finished speaking, he immediately looked toward his own clan head, wanting to see what the other's reaction would be.

However, something beyond his expectations happened.

He saw that the clan head's face did not show any emotion or delight, only endless calmness.

So calm that it was as if he had long known about this matter, with no surprise to speak of!

But, how could this be possible?

I have never told anyone about awakening the physique!

Jiang Chen's eyes widened, his lips slightly parted, unable to close for a long time, falling into a dazed state.

However, what truly left him utterly shocked was still the scene that followed.

Jiang Daoxuan stroked his chin with his hand and said softly, "Calculating the time, it's about right. Very well, I shall resolve part of the doubts in your heart for you. The special physique you have now awakened is called: Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. The characteristic of this physique is that it possesses near-invincible physical strength among those of the same rank, and it possesses multiple Sacred Body anomalies, with all sorts of mysteries......"

Along with Jiang Daoxuan's narration.

Jiang Chen's mind was greatly shaken, his mouth open, as if an egg could be stuffed into it.

He had never expected that the physique he had awakened would actually be this powerful.

As long as one cultivated it to great completion, one could be called a Great Completion Sacred Body, and the strength of one's whole body could rival a Great Emperor!

What made him feel even more terrifying upon reflection was.

Judging from the clan head's tone, it was as if he had long known that he would awaken the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body!

Combined with the other's performance just now, Jiang Chen grew increasingly certain of this guess.

Even in the depths of his mind, an even bolder, even more inconceivable possibility sprang forth!

Perhaps, my awakening of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body... is related to the clan head?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen could not help but think again of the matter of the Great Elder suddenly awakening the Lei Lingti.

Could the Great Elder's awakening of his physique also be related to the clan head?

Jiang Chen took a deep look at his own clan head, the depths of his pupils full of awe.

Possessing such a terrifying method capable of causing others to awaken special physiques, comparable to a divine miracle.

The clan head is truly becoming more and more mysterious, unfathomable ah.......

Jiang Chen first sighed with emotion.

Then he could not help but feel a bit dejected.

Sigh, when will I ever truly catch up to the clan lord's pace?

If things continue like this, I feel I won't even be able to see his silhouette anymore.

No, I absolutely cannot let this happen!
