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

"The day we reforge the 'Burning Sky Phoenix Feather Spear' will mark the beginning of our Divine Phoenix Clan's revival of might and power!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone responded: "Yes, sir!"

Zi Ling nodded slightly.

Then, he turned his gaze to his daughter, a look of unconcealable relief flashing across his eyes:

"Li'er, you have really given your father a great surprise this time."

"Such achievements should be commended."

Several elders with white hair and beards beside him nodded and laughed continuously:

"Hahaha, Qingli is indeed worthy of being the most outstanding goddess of our clan in a million years."

"She has pure bloodline, unparalleled talent, and now she has made great contributions. The more I see her, the more I feel that she is the one destined to lead our clan to the pinnacle!"

"Indeed, if our clan can produce another peak Quasi-Emperor in the future, it will undoubtedly be you, Feng Qingli!"

For a moment, there was discussion everywhere and praise was heard everywhere.

Although Feng Qingli's face looked normal, her ears were still slightly red, and she was obviously a little embarrassed.

But she quickly calmed down and spoke seriously:

"Father, there's actually one more thing... If you tell me, please don't blame Qingli for taking the initiative."

Zi Ling was slightly stunned when he heard this.

But he soon smiled and said, "It's okay to say it."

"You were the first to do such a great deed in finding the Mystic Crystal fragments. I was too busy rewarding you, so how could I blame you?"

However, the next moment, Feng Qingli said:

"This fragment of the Mysterious Fortune Crystal was not a quest reward I received, but... I exchanged it from someone else."

"In order to obtain it, I made a promise and allowed that person to go to my clan's treasure house and choose eight treasures as a reward."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent!

Immediately afterwards, there was an uproar!

"What? Eight items?! And you can choose them yourself?! Qingli, you... this is too hasty!"

"Yes, even though our clan has a deep heritage, eight treasures is by no means a small number, and you are allowed to 'choose your own'... Do you know what this means?"

"Qingli, you are too reckless this time."

Even the elders who had been praising him just now had their expressions slightly changed and shook their heads.

One of the elders couldn't help but ask, "Do you think that such conditions can be easily supported by our clan's foundation?!"

Everyone was talking at once, and the tone was getting more and more intense.

Seeing this, Zi Ling frowned and his expression turned a little colder: "Li'er, you promised eight treasures, you should at least give an explanation, right?"

"Could it be... that this is really just to exchange for a fragment?"

Feng Qingli did not flinch, and nodded calmly: "Of course."

"But among these eight items, only five can be exchanged for Xuan Crystals. The remaining three..."

She paused, her eyes clear as water as she looked at her father: "It is to make friends with that person."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the room!

The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.

Several elders looked grim, almost shouting:

"What?! Promising three treasures just to make friends with someone?!"

"Qingli, what do you think our clan is? Is it a place where you can freely bestow favors and wealth?!"

"How can this be! It's absolutely ridiculous!"

"What a joke! You can choose three treasures from our clan's treasury just to invest in one person?!"

"Based on the level of the Spacetime Secret Realm that Qingli participated in, the other contestants should be at a similar level to her, at most no more than a peak Saint."

"Hehe, even if he is Li Wujiang, who ranks second on the Dayu Ranking, he is not qualified for our clan to use three treasures to form a bond with him, right?"

"That's right! Not to mention the Great Universe Ranking, even those people with destiny on the Great Universe Ranking have never enjoyed such treatment!"

"What's more... even the quasi-emperors of the ancient clans have never had the precedent of 'selecting three items' from our clan's treasure house. Qingli, you are really too foolish this time!"

A group of senior executives were angry at him for not fighting back and started to scold him.

Some people have even secretly considered withdrawing their promises.

But at this moment, Zi Ling did not say anything.

He just looked at his daughter quietly, with no anger between his brows, but instead a hint of deep meaning.

He understood Feng Qingli.

This daughter has never been someone who would do business at a loss.

as predicted--

Feng Qingli spoke slowly:

"My fellow elders, what if I say that person's talent is far superior to mine?"

"If I say... that he could, without any external aid, relying solely on his own strength, and with the body of a mere saint, head-on kill a great saint in his prime..."

The words fell!

boom!

It was like a loud thunderclap, causing everyone in the hall to change their expressions drastically!

"What did you say?!"

"Saint...kill the Great Sage?!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Even the supreme geniuses in this world who possess the blood and bones of an emperor have never achieved such a feat, right?!"

"No... You just said that he didn't use any external aid?"

"Relying solely on my own strength? This is impossible! Absolutely not possible!"

The scene exploded instantly.

All the elders opened their eyes wide, with absurdity and disbelief written all over their faces.

Saint...Kill the Great Sage!

This is more than just an outstanding talent!

This is against the will of heaven!

It completely breaks the "common sense" of spiritual practice!

At this moment, an elder of the clan with rich experience could not help but stand up and said in a deep voice: "Qingli, I know that you are upright and honest, and you will not boast empty words."

"But do you know what this means?"

"Now, I just want to hear the truth from you, not these vague myths and legends!"

Feng Qingli's face was calm as she slowly spoke:

"It's not a myth or legend, but something Qingli saw with her own eyes!"

"In this secret realm of time and space, I went back three million years to the time of the demon invasion."

"There, a demon king at the peak of his power was killed directly by Jiang Chen, who was only at the ninth level of the Saint Realm!"

"Head on, hard fight."

“No one is helping.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent.

The expressions of the senior executives changed instantly, and their faces became so solemn that they could hardly be relaxed.

After all, if you say that a saint kills the saint king, well, everyone can understand it.

But the saint killing the great sage is really too exaggerated.

It was so exaggerated that it was like a young emperor appearing in the world. It completely went against common sense and shattered everyone's cognition!

At this moment, even the quasi-emperor Zi Ling couldn't help but show some suspicion in his eyes.

It is no exaggeration to say that in his memory, although there are many geniuses in the world, there is a limit after all.

There are certainly examples of saints who killed great saints with external force, but there has never been a single example of someone killing a great saint with his own strength!

Then, he looked at his daughter and asked in a deep voice, "You said that man's name is... Jiang Chen?"

Feng Qingli nodded gently: "Not bad."

"The path he follows is unconventional. He cultivates his holy power, physical body, and spirit, and his heart is as strong as iron."

"Achieve a Heavenly Armor rating in all seven stages of the mission!"

"Until the final scoring, it will also end with the Tianjia score!"

boom!

Ruiguaner!

Zi Ling's eyes suddenly froze.

The elders on the side all looked horrified:

"Heavenly Armor?!"

"A supreme evaluation so rare in such a long time?!"

"Then Jiang Chen... actually received such an evaluation?"

"What's even more incredible is that this person was able to obtain the Heavenly Armor eight times in a row!"

"What kind of talent is this? Could it be that... this Jiang Chen is the leader of this era?"

At this moment, no one questioned Feng Qingli anymore.

Everyone's shock turned into silence.

In silence, Zi Ling suddenly chuckled: "So that's how it is..."

"For a person like this...even as his father, I would be willing to give him three treasures as a gift."

"Qingli, you did the right thing."

"very good."

This is because he has ventured into the secret realm of time and space many times.

As a result, no matter how hard I tried, I still only managed to reach the "Class A" level.

Therefore, he knew best what kind of evaluation criteria were represented by the two words "Tianjia".

That is - using eternity as a yardstick to measure the peerless evildoer.

It is a "forbidden evildoer" recognized by the will of the entire space-time secret realm system!

Thinking of this, Zi Ling's eyes instantly became deeper.

"Jiang Chen, to be granted the 'Heavenly Armor' by the Will of the Secret Realm, demonstrates that his comprehensive potential, combat record, and character... are all beyond the limit."

"This kind of person, even if there is only a chance that he will reach the end, is worth betting on."

At this point, most of the senior officials in the hall fell silent.

But at this moment, a twitching voice sounded:

"But... no matter how talented he is, if he dies midway, wouldn't our tribe's investment be wasted?"

The person who spoke was the master of the Divine Phoenix Clan's treasure house, the great elder Duan Cangyan, who was responsible for managing resource allocation.

He pinched his beard, looking distressed: "It's really not appropriate to concentrate so many resources on one person and gamble on that illusory future."

"I'm not against making friends with him, but I think it shouldn't be so exaggerated..."

This statement did not fail to resonate with others.

After all, from ancient times to the present, countless monsters have appeared, but most of them have failed and died before they could grow.

Temporary glory does not mean stability after all.

"Although that man has now defeated the Great Sage, no matter how much he defies the will of Heaven, he has not yet become an emperor."

"We have been planning for our clan for a hundred generations. How can we risk everything just because of a momentary surprise?"

Several elders looked at each other and nodded slowly.

The atmosphere seems a little subtle.

And at this moment——

An elderly man walked slowly forward and stood beside Feng Qingli, with his hands behind his back, smiling calmly:

"Haha...you guys are really good at calculating."

"Wanting to take all the benefits without even taking the slightest risk? How can such a good thing be possible?"

This person is none other than the quasi-emperor of the Divine Phoenix Clan—Lie Yu.

Although he has no official title, he is of a very high generation and even the clan leader needs to show him some courtesy.

He continued, "Who is Jiang Chen? He's the Great Saint who defeated the Saint, the holder of the Heavenly Armor rating, and the one Qingli personally approved of and vouched for."

"Yet you question this matter because of the 'three treasures'."

"But have you ever thought about this—if he truly becomes an emperor in the future, or even aspires to a higher position... then these three treasures today probably wouldn't even be enough to earn him a nod or a glance."

“Investing is gambling.”

"But in this world, is there any major event that isn't gambling?"

"What's more, Qingli has already made a promise."

"If our clan doesn't honor its promise today, what will outsiders think? What will our allies think? And what will Jiang Chen think?"

"If that happens, not only will we miss out on a genius, but we'll also ruin the reputation of our clan!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone fell silent.

The treasure house owner Duan Cangyan opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He could only smile bitterly and take a step back.

Feng Qingli nodded slightly, then spoke:

"Qingli knows that this goes against common practice, and she also understands the clan's concerns."

"But Qingli dares to say this—this person is worthy."

Having said this, she shifted her gaze to the elder in charge of the treasury, her tone calm yet sharp:

"Didn't you just say that you felt concentrating so many resources on one person was too hasty and inappropriate?"

"But what if I say—not 'one'?"

When these words came out, Cang Yan raised his eyebrows, looking suspicious: "What do you mean?"

Zi Ling also became interested, with an interested smile on his face: "Li'er, what else do you know?"

Feng Qingli replied calmly, cupping her hands:

"My Lord Father, Jiang Chen is not only extremely talented, but also dominates his generation."

"The forces behind it are definitely not ordinary."

As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

Everyone's expression changed slightly, and they thought to themselves, could it be that Jiang Chen is the descendant of some important figure?

Zi Ling's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance: "Tell me about it."

Feng Qingli looked around and suddenly asked:

"Everyone, have you ever heard of...Jiang Yan, Jiang Yi, Jiang Ming, and Jiang Zhiwei?"

Everyone was stunned at first, then they reacted and nodded:

"Of course I've heard of it."

"Recently, these few people have been spreading rumors the most on the Daluotian Internet!"

"Each of them is a peerless monster with astonishing skills. In almost every battle, they crush their peers. They are extremely popular!"

"And..." an elderly elder murmured, "They seem to have some connection with each other."

"Li'er, why do you suddenly mention these four people?"

Feng Qingli smiled lightly and said clearly:

"because--"

"That Jiang Chen is none other than the...brother of these four people!"

"These four evildoers are all the brothers and sisters of the clan he mentioned."

boom! ! !

It was like a muffled thunder exploding in everyone's heart!

The whole hall was in an uproar!

"what?!"

"Those four evildoers who shook the Five Directions Realm all came from the same family?"

"What kind of force is this?"

"If it's true, the Jiang family is too terrifying!"

"Five beings of the Son of God and Goddess level suddenly appeared?!"

Zi Ling's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, and shock appeared in his eyes.

Cang Yan, who was in great pain earlier, now had a very subtle expression on his face:

"I see... No wonder Qingli, you made such a condition."

“Haha, if these three treasures can form such a powerful alliance, then… it really is nothing.”

"I...I was just too worried and said something out of place. I hope you will forgive me, please forgive me."

Seeing that he had changed his stance, the other elders also nodded:

"This deal is not a loss."

"To befriend Jiang Chen is to befriend the entire Jiang family... Qingli's foresight is truly brilliant!"

"Our clan is blessed to have a goddess like you. It is truly blessed by God!"
