Chapter 537: Jiang Chen

"Truly, the ways of the world are unpredictable—but thanks to heaven's protection, we've welcomed our Clan Lord, and now we have this situation."

"Three marquises in one family! This power, even across all of Da Qin, is exceedingly rare!"

In that moment, many clan members, recalling the events of the past several months, could not help but sigh in awe.

After their sighs, only joy remained.

Influenced by the family's ethos, they naturally placed clan interests above all, hoping the clan would grow ever stronger!

The Yuheng lineage's residence.

Jiang Ming held a long spear, swinging it continuously, contemplating the way of the spear.

Upon sensing this aura,

he halted his movements, and a battle spirit surged in his eyes!

"The aura of Sword Heart—has someone else ascended to Sword Marquis?"

Thinking of the three Sword Marquises who had now awakened Sword Heart atop Cangwu Mountain,

a sense of urgency stirred deep within him—he wanted to comprehend Spear Heart faster, reach the Spear Marquis realm, and become the fourth being on Cangwu Mountain to awaken an essence-heart!

To achieve this, he violently resumed swinging his spear, each strike and motion growing fiercer.

Simultaneously, his Perfect Spear Intent plunged into deeper contemplation!

Perfect Spear Intent?

Yes—after participating in the Beidou Tournament, he made another small breakthrough.

He had advanced from Great Completion Spear Intent to Perfect Spear Intent!

He himself was greatly surprised by this.

After all, his original estimate had been that reaching this realm would require at least several more months.

Yet, in just a few short days, the breakthrough was complete.

And all of this stemmed from the mysterious six-sided stone.

Since a few days ago, he had discovered he could use his spiritual sense to stir the six-sided stone, drawing forth fragments of insight into the essence-hearts.

It was precisely through these fragments of insight that he had progressed so rapidly, achieving another breakthrough in such a short time and reaching his current realm!

Thinking of the six-sided stone's mystery, Jiang Ming's gaze grew even brighter.

The Spear Marquis realm? Not far off!

On the other side.

Affected by this aura,

Jiang Chen, who had been immersed in cultivation in a small courtyard, suddenly stopped his movements.

He slowly opened his eyes, a glint of brilliance shining within.

"That's Elder Xingjian's aura… has he cultivated Sword Heart?"

He had dueled Jiang Xingjian many times before and knew his aura intimately.

Thus, in an instant, he effortlessly identified the source by this aura!

Realizing this, Jiang Chen's lips curled into a faint smile—he was genuinely delighted by the clan's growing strength!

As one who had silently sworn to dedicate his entire life to the clan, he naturally wished for as many powerful members as possible.

Not only to protect the many clan members with shallow cultivation bases and safeguard them,

but also to serve as teachers, passing on cultivation experience so everyone could progress faster.

"After all, I don't want you all to fall too far behind…"

Jiang Chen tilted his head slightly, gazing at the blue sky, his eyes filled with hope.

Rather than becoming powerful alone, ascending to the peak by himself,

he wished far more that every member of the clan would be like a dragon!

He hoped these brothers and sisters would grow swiftly.

So they could catch up to his pace and climb the peak together, gazing down at the exquisite, unparalleled scenery below!

Then, Jiang Chen lowered his gaze slightly, looking at the wordless sword scroll hanging before him, his face filled with deep thought.
