41: Chapter 41 The Secret Realm of Time and Space, The Ancestor Returns

"As an Imperial Family, even though we have declined, our foundation is still not something those ordinary families can compare to!" Jiang Haoyan continued.

"Among the legacies left by our Jiang Family ancestors, there is a method for Supernatural Ability infusion!"

"This method allows us, when the Family rises in the future, to select the one with the highest talent within the Family, perform a Supernatural Ability infusion, and raise their Supernatural Ability one, or even two Ranks above their original level!"

"Your Supernatural Ability is the SS-Rank Archangels Sword. After the Supernatural Ability infusion, you could reach at least SSS-Rank, or perhaps even SSSS-Rank!"

...

"What?"

Jiang Ting was instantly stunned.

Could he possibly reach an SSSS-Rank Supernatural Ability?

Isn't the highest Rank of Supernatural Ability in this world SSS-Rank?

Is this the power of an Imperial Family?

Can it surpass SSS-Rank?

If he truly reached SSSS-Rank, he would definitely be able to trample Jiang Ling under his feet!

Hahaha...

Thinking of this, Jiang Ting could not help but feel extremely exhilarated.

So what if you have high talent?

An illegitimate son is an illegitimate son after all. The Family's inheritance must still go to me!

"Ting'er, after today's infusion, you must strive even harder to shoulder the burden of revitalizing the Jiang Family!" Grandfather Jiang Wei also said to Jiang Ting.

"I understand, Grandfather!"

Jiang Ting's gaze was firm, "I will definitely restore the Jiang Family to its Peak in my hands!"

"I want the entire Great Xia to know that I am the heir of the Jiang Family!"

...

"Hahaha... Good..."

Grandfather Jiang Wei nodded as he watched Jiang Ting's ambitious demeanor.

"Now, get ready. We will begin the infusion ceremony for you!"

"Understood!"

Jiang Ting, under Jiang Haoyan's guidance, came to the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall and knelt down, his eyes filled with determination.

"Jiang Ling, let's see how you can act arrogantly in front of me now!"

"I will defeat you with my own hands and let you know that an illegitimate son is just an illegitimate son; I am the true heir of the Jiang Family!"

"I will become the strongest in Great Xia in the future!"

...

Jiang Haoyan took out a piece of ancient jade, placed it on top of Jiang Ting's head, and told him not to move. Then, Grandfather Jiang Wei and the various Elders began to channel their own Supernatural Abilities to guide the ancestral tablets in the hall.

These tablets were all made of jade, crystal clear, and seemed to be filled with energy.

Hum!

Suddenly, with a soft sound, all the tablets began to vibrate gently. Then, rays of light shot out from the tablets and converged above Jiang Ting's head.

A powerful energy began to manifest, and Jiang Ting's Soul shook violently, as if it were about to leave his body.

Clang!

A massive ancient sword appeared above the ancestral hall; it was Jiang Ting's Supernatural Ability, the Archangels Sword.

Countless energies converged, and the Archangels Sword began to undergo a transformation. Inscriptions began to appear on the originally plain blade.

These inscriptions emitted a dazzling light that made people afraid to look directly at it.

This energy infusion lasted for a full half-hour, and the process was not easy.

Jiang Ting felt as if his Soul were being torn apart, filled with endless pain.

However, in order to upgrade his Supernatural Ability and surpass Jiang Ling, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Boom!

Suddenly, a powerful light erupted from the Archangels Sword, piercing through the roof of the ancestral hall and shooting straight into the sky, splitting the clouds in two.

A light drizzle fell from the sky, with every droplet appearing crystal clear and glowing.

The residents of Yue City saw this scene and shouted about a miracle.

Jiang Ting in the ancestral hall slowly opened his eyes. Feeling the brand-new Archangels Sword, he was ecstatic.

The current Archangels Sword had definitely reached, or even surpassed, SSS-Rank.

"Ting'er, how do you feel?" Jiang Haoyan came over to ask.

"Great!"

Jiang Ting grasped the Archangels Sword and said proudly: "Now, I can definitely kill that illegitimate son with a single sword strike!"

"Good!" Jiang Haoyan also laughed out loud.

"Dad, I noticed that a large chunk is missing from the middle of these ancestral tablets!" Jiang Ting asked about his confusion.

"This is because one of our powerful ancestors, along with some strong members of the clan, went to a mysterious Space-Time Secret Realm and disappeared without returning," Jiang Haoyan explained.

"It was precisely because of their departure that the Jiang Family declined."

"According to the calculations of the Jiang Family's descendants, they should not be dead yet and will return in a certain era!"

"The ancestors will return?" Jiang Ting could not help but be stunned.

"There is a lot about this world that you don't know," Jiang Haoyan said with his hands behind his back. "Once you enter a Space-Time Secret Realm, even if only a day passes inside, a thousand years may have already passed outside."

"Our Jiang Family has been waiting for the return of our ancestors."

"At that time, our Jiang Family will return to its Peak and once again become a noble Imperial Family."

...

"Jiang Ting has truly succeeded in the infusion!"

In a courtyard of the Jiang Family, Jiang Churan looked at the crystal-clear raindrops falling from the sky, her face filled with gratification.

"The future rise of our Jiang Family depends on him."

"That Jiang Ling is so rebellious, daring to betray the Jiang Family!"

"If he could return to assist Jiang Ting, our Jiang Family would take a step closer to returning to its Peak."

"I must make this rebellious son return to me!"

"What does he think the Jiang Family is?"

"Does he think he can just betray us whenever he wants?"

Jiang Churan was Jiang Haoyan's third daughter, also possessing an SS-Rank Supernatural Ability, and was studying at Magic Capital University.

She had just returned to the Family for the holidays when she learned the news that Jiang Ling had defected from the Family.

She was extremely angry at the time.

An illegitimate son who doesn't conduct himself properly and contribute to the Family, but instead dares to betray it—it was simply intolerable.

She opened her phone and checked the school forum, where she was shocked to discover a post about Jiang Ling completing the Tiangang Step Imprint.

"What?"

"Someone walked the full Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps?"

"His name is also Jiang Ling, and he is a freshman?"

"Could it be that rebellious son?"

"Is his talent really that high?"

...

Jiang Churan could not help but be somewhat shocked.

As a student of Magic Capital University, she naturally knew what the Tiangang Step Imprint was.

She had personally attempted it but had only walked seventeen steps!

For Jiang Ling to be able to complete all Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps, he was truly a bit of a Prodigy!

"Hmph!"

"Isn't this all talent brought to you by the Jiang Family Bloodline?"

"You don't think about repaying the Jiang Family, yet you dare to betray us. This is absolutely intolerable!"

"You are a person of the Jiang Family in life, and you must be a ghost of the Jiang Family in death!"

...

After Jiang Ting's infusion and his talent surpassing SSS-Rank, the Family held a banquet to celebrate.

At the banquet, everyone congratulated Jiang Ting on his advancement and urged him not to become arrogant, to continue working hard, and to shoulder the burden of revitalizing the Jiang Family.

After a few rounds of drinks, Grandfather Jiang Wei spoke to Jiang Churan.

"Churan, when you return to Magic Capital University this time, remember that your first priority is to persuade Jiang Ling to return to the Jiang Family!"

"Since he is of our Jiang Family Bloodline, he cannot be left wandering outside. What kind of behavior is that?"

"It is simply a disgrace to my Jiang Family's reputation!"
