Chapter 7

"Clan... Clan Leader, let us set aside the matter of seeking justice for now. The Qianshan Sect is immensely powerful, while I am merely a cripple. There is truly no need for you to take such a risk. If anything were to happen to you, I could not bear it..."

"A cripple? Ridiculous! Who says a shattered dantian makes one a cripple?"

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Chen was completely stunned.

Immediately after, Jiang Daoxuan's voice rang out again. "A shattered dantian is not necessarily the end for a person; it may also be a new beginning."

"What is called breaking to rebuild; as long as the burning passion in one's heart does not extinguish, misfortune can turn to fortune."

"This Clan Leader will offer you a saying, and one for all the Jiang family members as well."

Upon hearing this, all the Jiang family members present immediately perked up their ears to listen.

"What truly defeats you is never others' criticism or mockery, but your own self-denial."

"Great wisdom stands alone; great goodness needs no faction. Why fear walking alone? Why fear slander? Have you awakened?"

Hearing this, everyone felt a surge of warmth in their hearts, their blood boiling with passion.

Jiang Chen stood there blankly, muttering repeatedly: "A new beginning... break to rebuild... after the extreme of misfortune comes good fortune..."

"What defeats you is self-denial... why fear walking alone... why fear slander..."

In that moment, Jiang Chen's previously dim gaze gradually brightened, as if a blazing fire had ignited within.

He clenched his fists, his heartbeat surging with power.

Indeed, my dantian is shattered, but I am not dead. How can I give up on myself because of this?

The Clan Head is right. I should live according to my true heart, doubt myself no more, care not for the world's opinions, and choose to remain true to myself!

"Clan Head! I understand!"

Seeing Jiang Chen's will reignited, Jiang Daoxuan wore a look of satisfaction.

Truly the Child of Destiny; given just a little guidance, he naturally sees the light.

[Ding~ Detected that the Child of Destiny, Jiang Chen, has regained his fighting spirit. Family Fortune +100]

Jiang Daoxuan had not expected such an unexpected gain.

Smiling, he took out two books from his robes and held them out to Jiang Chen.

"Take the Thunderclap Palm and the Qi-Guiding Art for cultivation. Others may not believe you, thinking you are a waste who falls and never rises, but this Clan Head believes you are not."

"This Clan Head awaits you to become a fine son who shields the family from wind and rain, just like your father, and absolutely not a waste as others claim!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's heart grew hot again, wishing he could start cultivating immediately.

However, upon realizing the names of the two techniques, his pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes filled with disbelief.

As a member of the Jiang family, how could he not have heard of the renowned Thunderclap Palm and Qi-Guiding Art?

It is said these two techniques were passed down by the family's first Purple Mansion Realm ancestor several hundred years ago.

Profound and mysterious, they were treated as the family's guardian techniques, cultivable only by the clan heads and elders of each generation.

Yet such precious techniques were placed before him so easily?

This truly made Jiang Chen feel overwhelmed with gratitude.

One must know that Yellow Grade techniques are generally accessible only to Purple Mansion cultivators.

Even during his time studying at Qianshan Sect as an inner sect disciple, the techniques he encountered were basically Yellow Grade at best.

Techniques above Yellow Grade were completely beyond his qualification to touch.

Only exceptionally outstanding inner sect disciples or true transmission disciples had the qualification to touch them.

Thinking of the various wonders of Yellow Grade techniques, Jiang Chen's heart surged. Trembling, he extended his hands and accepted the techniques: "Thank you, Clan Head, for your grace! Jiang Chen will strive forward in the future and not fail your expectations!"

Jiang Daoxuan nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

[Ding~ Investment successful. Congratulations, Host, on receiving ten bottles of Diamond Elixir]

[Diamond Elixir: Earth Grade Supreme Elixir. Upon consumption, it enhances physical constitution]

[Ding~ Investment successful. Congratulations, Host, on receiving the Earth Grade Supreme Martial Art, Purple Thunder Palm]

[Ding~ Investment successful. Congratulations, Host, on receiving the Earth Grade Supreme Technique, Pure Yang Art]

As the rewards arrived.

To avoid the risk of capsizing in a gutter by visiting the Tang family,

he immediately took out two techniques from the system warehouse and transmitted them into his mind through infusion.

Within a few breaths, Jiang Daoxuan successfully mastered the Purple Thunder Palm at the Perfection level.

If unleashed, it could condense a highly penetrating purple thunder in the palm; once struck, even an ordinary Purple Mansion cultivator forced to block it would explode, turning into a cloud of blood mist!

As for the Pure Yang Art he mastered, it caused a transformation in his primordial energy, making it supremely yang and righteous, causing all evil to retreat, forming Pure Yang Primordial Energy!

Although his cultivation realm had not broken through, the quality of his Pure Yang Primordial Energy had long since crushed ordinary primordial energy by several times.

In battle, if encountering an enemy of the same realm, a casual strike of Pure Yang Primordial Energy would be enough to shatter the enemy's energy defense!

Feeling the surging power flowing within his body, a trace of joy appeared in Jiang Daoxuan's eyes.

Now, without exaggeration, he could completely dominate ten versions of his former self.

Afterwards, Jiang Daoxuan gradually calmed his mind and turned to look at the Jiang family members gathered at the door.

Since he had already made an exception to teach Jiang Chen the family's guardian techniques, to avoid causing jealousy among other Jiang family members and creating unnecessary misunderstandings or conflicts,

Jiang Daoxuan decided to treat everyone equally: "After this battle, all Jiang family members, whether direct or collateral branches, may cultivate the Thunderclap Palm and the Qi-Guiding Art!"

Having obtained the Purple Thunder Palm and Pure Yang Art, he naturally no longer valued these two early-stage Yellow Grade techniques. Adhering to the principle of making use of waste, they were perfect for the clan members to cultivate.

As for the two Earth Grade techniques he now mastered, until his strength reached a certain level, he would not be foolish enough to leak them on a large scale.

After all, Earth Grade techniques are powerful arts even Star Wheel Realm True Persons long for.

If leaked carelessly, it would be like a child carrying gold through the market; once it aroused the greed of Star Wheel True Persons, the Jiang family's current small stature could not withstand the trouble.

At this moment, as Jiang Daoxuan's words fell.

All Jiang family members shouted in unison: "Thank you, Clan Head! Long live the Clan Head!"

Originally, seeing Jiang Chen receive two Yellow Grade techniques made them feel somewhat uncomfortable, but now they were at peace.

Two Yellow Grade techniques for everyone; what is there to envy?

Noisy sounds rose one after another.

Only then did Jiang Chen notice that a crowd of clan members was gathered at the door.

Seeing this, he felt somewhat puzzled and looked at Jiang Daoxuan, asking softly: "Clan Head, what is this?"

"This journey: the annihilation of the Tang family."

Jiang Daoxuan said casually.

His tone was so calm, as if he were discussing the most ordinary little matter.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen could not remain calm at all.

As a member of the Jiang family, he was naturally no stranger to the Tang family.

Setting aside the Tang family ancestor at the Purple Mansion realm, even the four Tigers of the Tang family were no simple folk.

The eldest, Tang Zhengyang, had reached the peak of the ninth layer of the Innate realm; the second brother was at the sixth layer of the Innate realm; the remaining two brothers were also powerful figures at the fourth layer of the Innate realm.

With such a lineup, how could the Jiang family possibly handle it?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen could not help but show concern on his face.

Just as he was about to ask further, he suddenly noticed that every clan member present wore an expression of strong confidence, with not a trace of worry!

Noticing this, Jiang Chen immediately realized that the situation was developing differently from what he had imagined.

At that moment, Jiang Daoxuan's voice came: "Your cultivation base is currently nonexistent. Going with us to the Tang family would be far too dangerous. Return for now and wait until we come back."

Although Jiang Chen possessed golden fortune and would most likely not die in such a small place as the Tang family,

considering all factors, it was best for Jiang Chen to remain at the Jiang family's main base for now.

"Yes!"

Jiang Chen did not insist on following them.

He knew well that his cultivation was completely lost and that he had become an ordinary person.

If he went to the Tang family, he would be unable to contribute, could only hinder, and in the face of danger, would easily cause clan members to be distracted protecting him.

This made the once proud and arrogant him find it truly unbearable, so he simply decided not to go.
