Chapter 453

With formidable cultivation base.

Jiang Ming soon arrived before the clan's grand hall.

The clan members guarding the entrance, upon seeing Jiang Ming approach, all bowed respectfully: "We pay our respects to Elder Brother Jiang Ming!"

As the details of the Grand Competition were revealed.

An increasing number of clan members have begun to revere the young prodigies who achieved high rankings!

Especially Jiang Ming, who ranked second, just below Jiang Chen.

His reputation surged dramatically!

He became an idol admired by countless young clan members!

Hence, when they saw Jiang Ming appear, they could hardly suppress their excitement!

At this moment, Jiang Ming halted his steps.

Though eager to enter and pay homage to the clan chief as soon as possible.

Yet before the bows of the crowd, Jiang Ming did not grow arrogant due to his current achievements—he instead returned their bows with solemn sincerity!

Then, under the worshipful gazes of the crowd, he pushed open the door and stepped into the hall!

The moment he entered, the door behind him closed automatically.

Jiang Ming looked up nervously.

He saw, before him, not only their clan chief, but two other figures.

Upon recognizing their faces, Jiang Ming immediately identified their identities.

It was Jiang Beiyě and Jiang Xian, who had achieved remarkable results in the Grand Competition!

Seeing this, Jiang Ming was greatly surprised.

He had not expected that these two clan prodigies, besides himself, had also come.

Yet, for this, Jiang Ming couldn't help but exhale in relief.

The psychological pressure of facing the clan chief alone was immense.

If two more clan members shared the burden, it would be ideal.

On the other side.

Seeing all three arrive,

Jiang Daoxuan nodded.

Simultaneously, within his vision, system messages began scrolling at incredible speed!

Jiang Daoxuan swiftly scanned all the investment rewards before him.

After all, he was a man who had seen great things—these items alone were not enough to move him.

He immediately withdrew his gaze and turned to face the three before him.

Under their intensely nervous stares, Jiang Daoxuan suddenly let out a light laugh.

"I've been in seclusion for many days, yet I never expected that upon emerging, the clan would have produced three more young prodigies."

"With you three, Jiang Clan's future is promising. Now, I can finally rest easy..."

Hearing Jiang Daoxuan's sigh, the three were startled and quickly replied: "My lord, that is not true!"

"Indeed, the clan can survive without us, but it cannot survive without you!"

"You are the clan's future! We have achieved only because of your blessings—how could we possibly compare to you even slightly?"

Jiang Daoxuan shook his head: "Though true, the world is ever-changing. Unless one transcends one's own fate, who can guarantee they will remain strong forever?"

"Moreover, my path is already fixed, cannot be easily altered; past oversights and neglects now hinder my progress and block my breakthroughs."

"But you are different—you are still young, your cultivation paths not yet set, all malleable material."

"If you cultivate diligently, forge solid foundations, and remain true to your hearts, your future achievements will surely not fall short of mine—indeed, surpassing me is not impossible!"

"The future of this world belongs to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if thunder cracked open their minds!

As Jiang Ming, Jiang Xian, and Jiang Beiyě reeled from the shock, an intense sense of mission surged within them!

The clan chief has done so much for the clan, causing his own cultivation to stagnate and his breakthroughs to be blocked.

We, who have received his grace, must cultivate diligently, strive to grow strong as soon as possible, repay the clan chief, ease his burdens, and together lead the clan to new heights!

At this moment, Jiang Daoxuan looked around and saw that the emotions of the crowd had been fully stirred.

He seized the moment, placing three vials of divine fluid and three Earth-grade supreme magic treasures into three space rings respectively.
