Chapter 3

His realm skyrocketed, until the innate true essence gathered within his dantian began to undergo a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation!

Strand after strand of true essence compressed, transforming into Yuan force!

With a thunderous explosion, a massive amount of Yuan force coalesced, and in an instant, carved out a void within the dantian!

Purple qi swirled through the void, nourishing the divine soul and manifesting spiritual sense!

Innate Realm, perfected!

Purple Mansion Realm, First Layer!

Purple Mansion Realm, Second Layer!

Purple Mansion Realm, Third Layer!

Jiang Daoxuan's eyes snapped open, his gaze like lightning, soul-stealing!

Hah.

A breath of turbid qi was expelled, shooting forth like an arrow, instantly piercing the ground and leaving a small crater!

Is this the spectacle of the Purple Mansion Realm? If placed in his previous life, wouldn't it be like being a little Superman?

Jiang Daoxuan felt quite emotional in his heart.

In this world, realms are divided into Body Tempering, Blood Condensation, Bone Forging, Postnatal, Innate, Purple Mansion, Yuan Sea, Star Wheel, Moon Wheel, Sun Wheel, Ten Thousand Phenomena, Primordial Spirit, Heaven-Human, Saint, Saint King, Great Saint, Quasi-Emperor, and Great Emperor.

Now, having successfully broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm.

Not only had he opened up a Purple Mansion space capable of storing external objects.

The true essence within his body had completely transformed into Yuan force!

Once he deployed Yuan force, he could directly achieve flight through the air!

In the eyes of mortals, such a realm was already no different from an immortal on land!

【Ding~ Host's status detected as returned to normal, Investment Rebate function now activated】

【Investment Rebate: When the host invests in clan members, different levels of critical-hit rebates can be triggered, yielding rewards!】

【Investment levels are divided into nine grades: Black, Gray, White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold, Red, and Rainbow. The higher the grade, the more generous the rewards provided!】

Invest in clan members?

Jiang Daoxuan was first stunned, then a strange expression crossed his face.

It seems the system wants him to walk further and further down the path of helping others and delivering coal in the snow.

Still, this feeling of feeding grass to the sheep and then plucking their wool seemed rather nice?

At this moment, an illusory panel quietly appeared before his eyes.

【Name: Jiang Daoxuan】

【Cultivation Base: Purple Mansion Realm, Third Layer】

【Root Bone: Immortal Grade (Original: Superior)】

【Comprehension: Immortal Grade (Original: Superior)】

【Talent: Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus】

【Family Fortune: 444】

【Detected that the host's family has fallen into dire straits; please resolve it promptly.】

Hm? The family has fallen into dire straits?

Jiang Daoxuan was stunned, then a flash of cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

At the same time, in the Jiang family great hall.

A group of Jiang clan members had gathered here, the atmosphere tense and solemn.

Everyone knew that today's matter was no trivial affair, so they all remained silent, able only to hear each other's heavy breathing.

And in the position facing the doorway, a group of uninvited guests who had suddenly arrived stood.

This group was all dressed in gray tight-fitting clothes, wielding long knives gleaming with cold light—they were the men of the rival Tang family.

The leader was none other than the Tang family patriarch "Tang Zhengyang," whose cultivation base had already reached the perfection of Innate Ninth Layer.

At this moment, Tang Zhengyang's expression was calm. After casually sweeping his gaze over the hall's layout, he shook his head: "So this is your Jiang family's council hall? How is it so cramped? It's not even as big as my Tang family's latrine."

"I was originally wondering what kind of extraordinary place could give birth to a talent like Jiang Daoxuan, but now that I see it, I'm truly greatly disappointed—better not to have come."

"However, as fellow members of the Four Great Families, to be this impoverished—if word got out, it would simply be a disgrace to all of us. How about this: on behalf of the Tang family, I graciously bestow upon your Jiang family ten taels of silver to help you renovate?"

Hearing Tang Zhengyang's shameless words, the veins on the Jiang family Grand Elder's forehead twitched.

If it weren't for your constant pressure, how would my Jiang family have fallen to such a state?

Furious within, but to avoid causing trouble, the Grand Elder still forcefully suppressed his inner rage and said in a deep voice: "This is our Jiang family's own affair; we won't trouble the Tang patriarch with it."

"Your own affair? That statement isn't quite right. After all, your Jiang family once attached itself to our Tang family seeking shelter. With such a bond between us, how has it become so distant?"

"Or is it that your Jiang family, having risen to the Four Great Families, has already forgotten this former connection, believing you have completely broken free from our Tang family's control? And thus you treat us as outsiders, not taking us to heart?"

Tang Zhengyang raised his head, his gaze icy, a hint of mockery seeping into his voice.

Seeing the other side suddenly make things difficult, the Grand Elder immediately understood—they had come specifically to cause trouble.

His face suddenly darkened: "Tang patriarch! My Jiang family ceased to be your Tang family's vassal hundreds of years ago. Now you bring up old matters—what is your intent? Is it merely to humiliate my Jiang family?!"

Tang Zhengyang crossed his arms, his face contemptuous, his tone full of mockery: "Hahaha, you may take it as humiliation if you wish."

The moment these words were spoken, the Jiang family members immediately glared with fury.

"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—clearly disliking me, yet unable to do anything about me."

Tang Zhengyang shrugged.

In the past, when Jiang Daoxuan was still around, he wouldn't have dared be so brazen, but now those worries were gone.

Facing Tang Zhengyang's arrogant, contemptuous display, the fury in the hearts of all Jiang family members rapidly surged, the rage burning hotter and hotter, so angry that their whole bodies began to tremble!

For a moment, the crowd's fury boiled over, and everyone loudly berated 【them】.

The Grand Elder also clenched his fists, beside himself with rage.

Beyond the inner fury, a touch of bleak sorrow welled up unbidden.

Clan Head, if only you were still here... how wonderful it would be.....

If our own Clan Head Jiang Daoxuan were still here, how would a mere Tang family dare act so brazenly!

But now, the Clan Head entrusted the clan to him and went into closed-door cultivation six years ago—his life or death unknown.

And as the clan's strongest, he himself had only a cultivation base of the Seventh Layer of the Innate Realm.

How could he possibly withstand the Tang family bearing down with such overwhelming force?
