Chapter 1638: Jiang Feifei

More than ten minutes later.

Zhang Xuan stopped, his face full of helplessness.

"I knew it wouldn't be that easy to cultivate..." The massive soul body rubbed its brow.

He had thought that the many treasures obtained from the Luo family could directly allow his soul body to break through the Golden Body realm and reach the Great Saint Second Layer Great Perfection, but he never dreamed that before he could fully break through, the purity would be insufficient!

These treasures were enough for others to cultivate to the Great Saint Fourth Layer Immortal realm, but Zhang Xuan's true qi and soul were both cultivated with Heavenly Dao techniques, and after being tempered by thunder, his entire body was almost free of impurities. Although the level of spiritual energy in the treasures was not low, it was still a notch below.

They could no longer provide the power to let him break through.

Having finally gathered the techniques, only to be stopped again by the purity of spiritual energy, Zhang Xuan sighed.

"Luo Qianzhen was following me, so I couldn't take too much. The Jiang family doesn't have that concern... Since they've betrayed humanity, the more I take, the less harm to humanity!"

His eyes suddenly lit up.

Back at the Luo family, although he was the family head and had the authority, he couldn't take too much. Now at the Jiang family, he had no such scruples.

Since they had betrayed humanity, leaving them more would only harm humanity more. With that in mind, there was no need to be polite.

Thinking this, without much hesitation, his soul body returned to his physical body and stepped out of the folded space.

Outside was still very quiet, clearly no one had thought that an outsider had infiltrated the library and read all the books.

"When I came earlier, I saw clearly that the treasure vault is in that direction. Let's go check it out."

Using his understanding of space, he quietly walked out of the library, confirmed the direction, and flew straight ahead.

Soon he arrived at the spot.

The seals here were clearly stronger than those at the library, layered one after another, making it hard to fathom at a glance.

Just as he planned to use the library to find a flaw and slip in silently, he heard footsteps coming from not far away.

He flickered to a corner, pointed a finger, and sealed the surrounding space. Just as he finished, he saw two figures enter the courtyard.

Both were acquaintances.

The middle-aged man on the left was the clan leader Jiang Fangyou he had seen before; the one on the right was a tall girl with an air of heroism in her brows, none other than the Heavenly Artisan Saint Son, Jiang Feifei, whom he had seen at the Saint Son Hall.

"Father..."

Brought here, the girl seemed somewhat displeased, furrowed her brows, and couldn't help speaking.

"I let you spend all your energy on the Heavenly Artisan profession before, but things are different now. The situation on the continent is about to change drastically; chaos may break out. As the genius with the highest bloodline purity in our Jiang family, you must shoulder the responsibility!"

Frowning, Jiang Fangyou said.

"Father knows my current strength. I'm still far from the Saint Domain Eighth Layer. Even if I want to shoulder responsibility, what can I do..."

Jiang Feifei looked reluctant.

"Our Jiang family's greatest strength is not physical cultivation, but the soul! Your bloodline is strong, and your soul body has surpassed ordinary people since childhood. If you can comprehend the ancestor's Soul True Solution, you can immediately receive the ancestor's inheritance and greatly increase your strength!"

After explaining, Jiang Fangyou's eyes were filled with intense expectation: "This is no joke. It concerns not only the rise and fall of our Jiang family but possibly even our lives... You can't be willful anymore!"

"I understand..."

Seeing her father speak so seriously, Jiang Feifei looked helpless: "I'll do my best, okay? But the Soul True Solution is hard to comprehend. Countless ancestors have struggled with it, and I may not succeed either!"

"Do your best. News just came that Zhang Xuan of the Zhang family is suspected to have comprehended the Time True Solution, and Luo Tianya of the Luo family has confirmed the Space Sealing True Solution... Among the three great families, only our Jiang family is the slowest!" Jiang Fangyou sighed.

"Zhang Xuan of the Zhang family is a monstrous figure and the Saint Son Hall master. It's not surprising he comprehended the Time True Solution... But who is this Luo Tianya you mentioned?" Jiang Feifei looked at him in confusion.

The news of the Luo family establishing a family head had not spread widely; only a few powerful figures within the clan knew.

She had been studying at the Saint Son Hall all year, not at home, and had no power of her own, so she didn't know much.

"Luo Tianya is said to be a collateral branch of the Luo family. He was previously unknown, but suddenly comprehended the Space True Solution, and his bloodline purity reached 'nine.' He even defeated the descendant of the ancient sage Zi Rong from the Hundred Schools of Thought!" Jiang Fangyou explained.

Even as he spoke, he still found it hard to believe.

He had to admit, the Luo family was really lucky.

The Zhang family had just found their young genius, shaking the continent, and then the Luo family produced a Luo Tianya who comprehended the Space True Solution... Among the three great families, their Jiang family was currently the weakest; it was impossible not to worry.

"Collateral branch? Father, why don't you also search to see if our Jiang family has a collateral branch that comprehended the Soul True Solution... Make him the family head, wouldn't that work?"

Hearing his daughter's words, Jiang Fangyou couldn't help tapping her head, looking speechless: "What a thought! Even you, the most core disciple, can't comprehend the True Solution, and you expect a collateral branch... Isn't that daydreaming? It's already rare enough that a Luo Tianya appeared. Do you really think such powerful figures are as common as cabbages?"

"Other families have such impressive collateral branches; maybe ours does too..." Jiang Feifei muttered.

To be honest, although she had an unparalleled soul and the highest bloodline in the Jiang family, she didn't really like cultivation but excelled in the Heavenly Artisan profession. That was why she became the Heavenly Artisan Saint Son, famous even in the Saint Son Hall.

But... clearly, the clan would no longer let her pursue her favorite profession.

"If there really were one, I would immediately invite him and make him the family head!"

Hearing his daughter's voice, Jiang Fangyou snorted: "Alright, stop daydreaming. Hurry up and go in. Your task now is to go before the Jiang family jade wall to meditate and cultivate, striving to comprehend the True Solution as soon as possible! Don't think about anything else, or else... for the clan's stability and to help the clan members face the coming turmoil... we'll have to arrange a marriage, marrying you off to a stronger power to preserve the family's legacy!"

"Father, I don't want to marry..." Hearing that failing to comprehend would lead to marriage, Jiang Feifei was startled and quickly shook her head.

"That's not up to you. This crisis is enormous. Without a marriage alliance, our Jiang family alone cannot survive..."

Sighing, Jiang Fangyou showed helplessness in his eyes: "But don't worry. Even if we arrange a marriage, it will either be with Zhang Xuan of the Zhang family or Luo Tianya of the Luo family... In any case, I won't let you suffer!"
