My whole clan is a master, I have become invincible by investing in my clan members

Xuan Ge stopped talking after this.

He just stared at the rising morning light, lost in thought.

Jiang Chen stood behind him, listening quietly for a long time without saying a word.

I don’t know how long it has been.

Xuan Ge slowly turned his head and looked at Jiang Chen with his tired eyes:

"Boy, do you think that in the future, the demons can be completely expelled, the five realms return to peace, and the human race no longer sheds rivers of blood?"

Before Jiang Chen could respond, he shook his head and said to himself, "What a pity... I'm afraid I won't be able to see it in this lifetime."

Although he was helped by Tongtian Taoist in this battle, he saved his life.

But the hidden injuries left behind meant that he only had a few years left to live.

However, he did not feel too sad or unwilling about this.

Just lamenting the fickleness of fate.

I lament that I don’t have the chance to witness with my own eyes the future of a bright and peaceful world where all people live in peace and contentment.

"Senior..." Jiang Chen looked at Xuan Ge's back quietly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Then, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something.

But at this moment——

"boom--"

An invisible force is coming from all directions!

"Shh!"

The wind stopped.

The flag on the city wall froze in mid-air.

Everyone's movements, expressions, and gazes were all frozen at this moment.

The world seemed to have pressed the pause button!

"this......"

Jiang Chen's heart trembled slightly.

Then he subconsciously looked around.

At the same time, Ling Junze and Feng Qingli, who were not far away, also looked over.

The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw something in each other's eyes.

"The secret realm of time and space... is about to end." Feng Qingli whispered.

"Yes." Ling Junze crossed his arms and said with a smile: "We have finally secured Luoyan City."

"But, strangely enough, it was only seven days, but it felt like seven years."

"This four-star secret space-time realm... I'll never come here again if I can avoid it."

As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Jiang Chen didn't say anything, but just looked at everything familiar in front of him quietly.

Xuan Ge, Luoyan City, ruins, blood-stained ground...

He knew that all this was just a shadow in history.

But the blood and tears contained in this phantom are real.

Finally, he leaned over gently and bowed solemnly towards Xuan Ge's back.

Then, he slowly uttered a word in his heart:

"Senior, your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled after three million years."

"The Five Realms of the World will finally usher in a new era of great harmony."

"I have... seen that future for you."

The words fell.

"Click——"

The surrounding sky and earth were like shattered mirrors.

Cracks spread across space, and the entire world suddenly collapsed!

The figures of Jiang Chen, Feng Qingli and Ling Junze were swallowed up in an instant and disappeared into thin air.

..........

And just before the secret realm completely collapsed.

In the distant void, a figure in white quietly appeared.

He stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the three people disappearing from the scene, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a relieved smile:

"This kid... did a good job."

Her white clothes are whiter than snow, and her expression is peaceful.

This person is none other than the Eastern Region Chief Guardian who had just left Luoyan City not long ago - Taoist Tongtian!

However, this scene is destined to be seen by no one.

... .......

at the same time.

the other side.

"Shh!"

Three figures appeared simultaneously in a spotless white world.

This is the "buffer layer" after completing the Space-Time Secret Realm mission.

It is also a temporary area for sorting and settlement before returning to reality.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes and looked back with a complicated expression.

The same is true for Feng Qingli and Ling Junze.

They all knew—

The history called "Falling Goose City" has ended.

At this moment, lines of golden characters suddenly appeared in front of the three people:

[The defense battle of Luoyan City in the Secret Realm of Time and Space has concluded successfully.]

[Final scoring and reward calculation will now be conducted based on the performance of all stages——]

"coming......"

Ling Junze's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked at his settlement results:

[Contestant: Ling Junze]

[Final evaluation: Grade A, Superior]

[Rating Analysis: He was successful in killing the enemy, but unfortunately his combat power was slightly insufficient, lacking the ability to finish off the enemy, so his rating was slightly reduced.]

[The final rewards are as follows——]

[Reward 1: Quasi-Emperor-level Magical Treasure - Nine-Light Locking Heaven Ring]

[Reward 80000: Skynet Points*3, Intermediate All-Attribute Law Crystals*]

"Alas..." Ling Junze shook his head, looking a little helpless: "It's still a little short of the mark."

"However, being able to obtain such a treasure is not in vain."

As he spoke, he thought about collecting all the rewards.

And in front of the second light curtain.

Feng Qingli quietly watched her settlement results:

[Contestant: Feng Qingli]

[Final evaluation: Grade A, Excellent]

[Rating Analysis: His combat power is outstanding, and he can be called the core of the Tianjiao. However, he was ultimately unable to defeat the Demon King, so his rating was slightly reduced.]

[The final rewards are as follows——]

[Reward 1: Quasi-Emperor-level Magical Treasure: Azure Sky Phoenix Robe]

[Reward 2: Quasi-Emperor-level Magical Weapon: Phoenix Shadow Divine Flame Order]

[Reward 90000: Skynet Points*5, Intermediate-Level All-Attribute Law Crystals*]

Feng Qingli lowered her eyes.

Although his expression was calm, his eyes were slightly disturbed.

"As expected, the Fortune Crystal Fragments are not that easy to obtain. Even if the final evaluation reaches the A-level, there is no chance of obtaining them..."

As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, he couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Jiang Chen not far away.

And in front of the third light curtain.

Lines of text slowly appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

[Contestant: Jiang Chen]

【Final evaluation: Tianjia】

[Rating Analysis: He commanded the army's morale, held out for seven days, turned the tide of defeat many times, single-handedly slew the Demon King, and ultimately secured victory]

[The final rewards are as follows——]

[Reward 1: Quasi-Emperor-level Magical Weapon - Sky-Breaking Shuttle]

[Reward 2: Quasi-Emperor-level Magical Treasure - Xuan Yao Mirror]

[Reward 3: Imperial-grade mid-grade treasure: Star Ruins Flame Marrow]

[Reward 100000: Skynet Points*1, Advanced All-Attribute Law Crystal*]

Jiang Chen looked at the two quasi-imperial weapons in the reward list and couldn't help but smile.

Although for me now, the help of the quasi-imperial weapon is extremely limited.

However, if it is kept within the clan and given to outstanding clan members in the future to use as their natal magic weapon, it would be an excellent choice.

"The Sky-Breaking Shuttle has an extremely fast escape speed, making it suitable for assassinations and surprise attacks."

"Although the Xuan Yao Mirror is a defensive magic weapon, once it accumulates to a critical point, it can counterattack the enemy's attack. It can also be considered a rare life-saving item."

"As for this high-level all-attribute law crystal, I can keep it for myself and use it to comprehend the laws..."

Jiang Chen nodded secretly.

Then, his gaze shifted and landed on the third row of rewards.

[Emperor-grade mid-level treasure: Star Ruins Flame Marrow]

As the thought came to mind.

A detailed description instantly appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

【Xingxu Flame Marrow】

Grade: Imperial Grade Mid-Grade

Origin: The Land of Meteorites at the Junction of the Starry Sky Abyss and the Ancient Realm of Destruction

Note: Contains a ray of the essence of the true flame of the falling stars. It is the main material for forging high-level imperial weapons and also has various mysterious effects.

"..."

Jiang Chen looked at the introduction above and his eyes flashed.

He remembered what 'Chen' had said.

There are seven levels of seals on the immortal fire in his body.

Back then, when he was at the first level of the Heavenly Man Realm, he used his own blood and energy to activate the first seal, multiplying the effect of the immortal fire on tempering his body, which allowed him to have such a strong body today.

Later, he cultivated to the Saint Realm, and under his guidance, used a secret technique to unlock the second seal, and thus tempered his soul with the energy of immortal fire, making it far superior to those of the same realm.

"Chen also said that if the first and second seals only enhance the basic capabilities of the Immortal Fire, then—"

"Once this third seal is broken, it will be a true qualitative change!"

"By then, this fire will have the embryonic form of a spirit, and will be able to condense fire magic on its own, as well as awaken many magical powers..."

Jiang Chen clenched his fists slightly, his mind slightly moved.

"But—in order to open the third seal, two conditions are required."

"First, one's cultivation must reach the Saint King realm."

"This isn't difficult. Once I return to reality, I only need to make a little preparation and I'll be able to break through in one fell swoop."

"The second condition is the real difficulty..."

His eyes fell on the introduction of Xingxu Mingyan Sui:

"The essence of the True Flame is needed to stimulate the power of the Immortal Fire and unlock the third seal!"

"Originally, my goal was the Netherworld True Flame Essence, which is only of the Saint Rank, and although it is equally difficult to find in the Daluo Skynet, it is naturally easier to obtain than other True Flame Essences..."

"But I didn't expect that before I even found the Netherworld True Flame Essence, I'd already obtained the higher-grade Starfall True Flame Essence in this secret space-time realm."

"Not only can it be used to unlock the third seal of the Immortal Fire, but the remaining power will also be of great benefit to me..."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

"Oh, this is really like sending a pillow when you are sleepy."

"Now, everything we need is ready."

"Only when I leave the secret realm and become a Saint King will I be able to unlock the third seal of this fire!"

"I don't know what the scene will be like at that moment..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but look forward to it with burning eyes.

And just at this moment, Feng Qingli suddenly came over.

"Jiang Chen, you..."

She suddenly stopped talking midway.

There was a rare hint of hesitation in those cold eyes.

She lowered her eyes, as if she was considering her words, and her ears were slightly red.

This was a rare moment of embarrassment in Feng Qingli's life.

As the daughter of the Divine Phoenix, she is usually cold and arrogant. How could she have ever shown such a "little girl's behavior" in front of others?

Ling Junze, who was standing by, folded his arms and exclaimed in amazement:

"Oh, that's rare."

"Even the dignified Qingli Goddess has blushes sometimes?"

"This Brother Jiang...I'm afraid he has broken the record."

He really didn't expect that the genius of the Divine Phoenix Clan, who was always decisive and ruthless in killing, would be humiliated in front of Jiang Chen.

As for Jiang Chen, his expression remained normal.

Just looking at the unnatural gaze that turned away and the increasingly red ears, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"I generally understand."

After saying that, he spread out his five fingers.

Swah——

A sudden light appeared.

The fragments of the Creation Crystal slowly emerged in his palm.

Feng Qingli looked at the coveted fragment, and her eyes instantly became hot.

She took a deep breath and was about to speak, but Jiang Chen asked first:

"You—do you want this?"

Feng Qingli nodded without hesitation.

"good."

"This item is extremely important to my clan. If we can gather three of them, then... Qingli has no choice but to—"

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Chen raised his hand to interrupt him.

At that moment, her heart skipped a beat.

I instinctively thought that the other party would just say "sorry" like last time and then shut me out.

However, the next moment, Jiang Chen spoke lightly:

"I can give this to you."

Feng Qingli was slightly stunned, with disbelief in her eyes.

But soon, Jiang Chen changed the subject:

"However, I have to mention the conditions."

"Didn't you originally say that you would give me three treasures?"

"Now, I think... let's change it to - choose five."

Although we have this seven-day friendship, it would be fine to just exchange it with the other party according to the previous conditions.

But if there is an opportunity to seek benefits for his people, he will naturally not give it up.

As Jiang Chen's voice fell.

Ling Junze took a breath of cold air instantly.

"Hiss—Brother Jiang...you're still so cruel."

"Choosing five treasures from the Divine Phoenix Clan's treasury? That's simply... cutting off one's flesh!"

"I'm afraid you're taking advantage of me."

As he said this, he looked at Feng Qingli, thinking that she must be very angry and might even take action.

But to his surprise——

Feng Qingli just looked at Jiang Chen quietly.

His expression was calm, his eyes were open, he didn't show any dissatisfaction, even his breath didn't fluctuate at all.

"what?"

Ling Junze was stunned and was about to speak.

But Feng Qingli slowly shook her head and said:

"No, it's eight treasures."

As soon as these words came out——

Ling Junze was stunned for a moment, his mouth opened wide enough to fit a spiritual fruit.

He looked at Feng Qingli, then at Jiang Chen, his face full of an expression of "Are you crazy?"

"Did I... hear wrongly?"

"Eight items?! And 'any' you want?!"

Jiang Chen himself couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, Feng Qingli continued:

"If it was before, it wouldn't be worth eight pieces."

"But now——"

She raised her eyes and looked directly at Jiang Chen, her tone calm but extremely serious:

"Qingli has seen Brother Jiang's style and knows that you have an extraordinary future. If you can achieve enlightenment and reach the pinnacle in the future, there will be nothing left to exchange for it."

"So, out of these eight treasures, five are worth the price of the Creation Crystal Fragment."

"And the remaining three items are gifts from my Divine Phoenix Clan, and also a token of my sincerity in wanting to establish a good relationship with Brother Jiang."

The words fell.

Ling Junze, who was originally preparing to make a few jokes, was now speechless.

After hearing this, Jiang Chen was stunned at first, and then he smiled softly.

"This courage... is worthy of being the goddess of the Divine Phoenix Clan."

As he spoke, he flicked his fingertips and lightly flicked the fragment of the Creation Crystal in his palm, and it floated into Feng Qingli's palm.

"make a deal."

"One day, I will personally visit the Divine Phoenix Treasury and select these 'eight' gifts myself."

As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Qingli's eyes lit up slightly, and a smile seemed to appear in her eyes.

"Qingli is waiting for you."

She nodded slowly, carefully put away the fragment, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

No matter what the cost, he finally got this fragment of the Creation Crystal.
