11: Zhang Batian Sect, destroyed

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission. You are awarded 5,000 limit points and the Soul-Devouring Great Art."

"Soul-Devouring Great Art: This is a modified version by this System. It can devour Souls to strengthen one's Divine Sense, and it can also control a trace of another person's Soul. Their life and death are at the Host's whim."

"It can also completely erase the original owner's Divine Soul and infuse it with the Host's will, making them an existence like the Host's slave, with 100% loyalty. Note: This method can only be used on those with a lower Realm than the Host."

"Finally, I'm not so poor anymore." With these 5,000 limit points, he could immediately step into the Spirit Infant Realm. However, this was not a good place for a Breakthrough. To avoid accidents, he would find a quiet place to make the Breakthrough later.

Jiang Xuan then looked at the other reward. "This Soul-Devouring Great Art is a bit useless to me. The chaos stone tablet within his body is already the best Cultivation Technique for Divine Soul in the world."

"This one now is useless even if I keep it. As for controlling the life and death of others, he directly kills his enemies."

"Forget it, I'll keep it for now. It might be useful if I establish a force in the future."

After checking the rewards, Jiang Xuan raised his eyes and scanned the remaining Hegemon Sect Elders and numerous Disciples. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. The use for the Soul-Devouring Great Art had just appeared.

"System, Fusion Soul-Devouring Great Art." Jiang Xuan closed his eyes and silently chanted in his mind. Instantly, Jiang Xuan completely mastered this Cultivation Technique.

Operating the Cultivation Technique, Jiang Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Black whirlpools swirled within his pupils, as if a single glance would cause one to completely lose themselves.

His eerie eyes suddenly fixed on the eight Hegemon Sect Elders in front of him. The originally panicked Elders quickly became still, standing rigidly in place.

Not long after, the divine spark in their eyes vanished, replaced only by loyalty to the Jiang Family and Jiang Xuan.

From now on, these individuals were no longer the awe-inspiring Hegemon Sect Elders. Instead, they were the Jiang Family's battle slaves.

His pupils returned to normal, and Jiang Xuan nodded in satisfaction, smiling as he said, "Done. This way, after I leave, the Jiang Family will have an additional layer of security."

"Eight Qi Sea Realm cultivators; within the nearby cities, there will be no existence that can threaten the Jiang Family."

Jiang Xuan then looked at the Hegemon Sect Disciples present, Killing Intent surging. "As for you, in your next life, be reincarnated into a good Sect!"

Through the Chaos Contemplation Method, his Soul power was much stronger than ordinary people. He could sense that these Disciples carried a trace of malice, more or less.

"They must have committed many evils, relying on being Hegemon Sect Disciples. Killing them won't be a burden."

Many Disciples felt the Killing Intent emanating from Jiang Xuan. One by one, they knelt down, crying and begging for mercy. Some even lost control of their bladder and bowels.

"Don't... don't kill me, I'm willing to surrender, please, don't kill..."

"Bang!" Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly seemed to see something terrifying. His pupils widened, and he died with blood flowing from his seven orifices, collapsing to the ground. The others also followed suit.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission: annihilating the Hegemon Sect. You are awarded 6,000 limit points."

"Awesome!" Another 6,000 in hand. Coupled with the previous 5,000, he now had a total of over 10,000 limit points. Compared to before, it was simply a sudden fortune.

"System, open the panel."

"Host: Jiang Xuan"

"Realm: Qi Sea Limit Realm"

"limit points: 11000 | 5000, upgradable"

"Items: chaos stone tablet, Spiritual Plant, Spirit Stone (some)"

"Cultivation Technique: Soul-Devouring Great Art"

"Bloodline: Chaos Ancestral Dragon Bloodline (First Layer: Red Rock Imperial Heaven Dragon) Realm Points: 1000 | 10000"

"Oh? There are some additional numerical columns. Bloodline Realm points are clearly marked. The System is still very thoughtful. This way, I won't have to estimate how many Realm points are needed in the future."

"Before, all the treasures of the Three Great Families combined were only 1,000 Realm points. In the future, there will definitely be more and more. It's truly a gold-swallowing beast, but it's really strong."

He wondered how much this Hegemon Sect would allow him to grow. Jiang Xuan was somewhat expectant. He flashed to the side of the Elders. "Take me to the treasure vault."

"Yes, Master."

In the Hegemon Sect's underground chamber, within a room built of profound iron, Jiang Xuan looked at the Low-Grade Spirit Stones piled all over the floor.

There were also Spiritual Plants and Medicinal Pills emitting light on the table, as well as Magic Treasures scattered across the floor. He was practically drooling.

He had never seen so many treasures before. Looking around, most of them were of the second to third tier, many times better than the garbage from the Three Great Families.

"I'm rich, I'm rich! These are all Bloodline Realm points!" Jiang Xuan muttered, his hands not stopping for a moment, quickly collecting the treasures. Before long, the entire secret chamber was spotless.

Outside the secret chamber door, Jiang Xuan looked back at the empty room and grinned, "This is how to get rich quickly. It seems I'll have to stir up more trouble when I go out in the future, otherwise, there's no reason to act." Jiang Xuan stroked his chin thoughtfully.

At the foot of Hegemon Sect Mountain, a group of youths stood in place, occasionally looking up at the mountaintop. The commotion that had just occurred had scared them into hiding at the foot of the mountain, where they felt a little safer.

No one spoke, all silently looking up, their eyes filled with anticipation. Perhaps it was the youths' admiration for the strong, their yearning for power; they all chose not to leave, but to wait from afar, waiting for the birth of a legend.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a figure appeared in the air, forming a faint current of Qi along the way. Immediately after, eight more figures followed closely behind.

"They're here, they're here! It's Jiang Xuan, he won!" One of the youths shouted excitedly.

"It's really him. He actually annihilated the Hegemon Sect by himself. And look at those behind him, aren't they the Hegemon Sect Elders? Why do they look like slaves following him?"

"He is the legend. A young man should be like this!" The youth who had previously argued with Liu Yong flushed, looking at Jiang Xuan with worship in his eyes, muttering.

Then, he clenched his fists. "From now on, I will no longer avoid or compromise. I will face difficulties head-on and not abandon my lofty aspirations!" Finally, he turned and left. From then on, Jiang Xuan would be his lifelong goal.

Looking at the group of still-immature youths, Jiang Xuan smiled. He turned to look at the surrounding mountain range, pondered for a moment, then spoke, "From now on, this place will be named Xuan Mountain, and the Hegemon Sect will no longer exist. There will only be the Xuan Mountain Jiang Family. If you are willing, you can pass an assessment to enter the Jiang Family for Cultivation." After speaking, he soared away, leaving behind a group of cheering youths.

For the entire Xuan Mountain, the Jiang Family's population was still too small. Although there were enough strong cultivators, many places also needed people to manage them.

This group of youths came from different places, and it would be best for them to spread the news. By then, he believed that many people would come to the Jiang Family for the assessment.

At that time, those who passed the assessment and entered could become Jiang Family guards or collateral members. This way, the population would naturally increase.

Once he returned and made a Breakthrough to the Spirit Infant Realm, it would be time for him to leave. Before that, he had to arrange everything for the Jiang Family to alleviate his worries.

Thinking of this, his desire to return home became more urgent. He wanted to go back immediately and make a Breakthrough. Suddenly, his gaze flickered upwards, as if he sensed something. A slight smile played on his lips as he said lightly, "Senior, you've been following me all this way. Aren't you tired?"
