Chapter 1: Patriarch of the Long Family

Battle Continent, Eastern Region, Dragon Kingdom, Star City

Main Hall of the Long Family

A handsome man sat wearing a blood-stained white robe, his pale face reflecting pain and exhaustion.

"What is this place?" he wondered in astonishment as he looked at the unfamiliar scene before him.

Before he could comprehend the situation, a massive amount of memories suddenly flooded his mind.

"Did I really travel through time?" Long Chen thought as he rubbed his swollen head with his hands.

In an instant, he traveled through time and became the patriarch of the "Long Family," one of the minor families in Star City under the Great Feng Family.

According to his memories, his ancestors remained in the Body Tempering Realm for a long time and reached perfection. To break through the Spirit Purification Realm, he began to regress for penetration. Despite his success, his foundation was damaged due to the penetration of force. Now, due to this semi-successful breakthrough, he lost everything and became useless and powerless!

"This is quite bad..." Long Chen muttered quietly.

"This world is an exceptional world that gathers countless great powers! It is a paradise for the strong and a hell for the weak. In such a mad world, according to my current state without cultivation, my personal safety is not guaranteed at all! What's worse, the small families under the three major families are always fighting among themselves. The reason why the Long Family has survived is due to my cultivation level at the peak of Body Tempering. I don't know how much time I've spent in seclusion. What is the current situation of the Long Family today?"

Long Chen frowned, his eyes filled with concern.

At that moment, a cold voice suddenly appeared in his mind:

"[Ding ~ The strongest family system has been activated! An anomaly in the host's condition has been detected, and the beginner's gift package has been automatically opened.]"

"[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill', 'Chaos Art', ten Soul Purification Pills, and ten Body Tempering Pills.]"

"[Chaos Art: Chaos was born when heaven and earth were not yet separated and chaos was the purest form of energy at that time. This technique is inspired by it.]"

"[Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill: It can wash the entire body from longitude and latitude lines, as well as bones and blood... to form the innate body.]"

"[Soul Purification Pill: You can raise a small world from the Soul Purification Realm with a solid foundation.]"

"[Body Tempering Pill: You can raise a small world from the Body Tempering Realm with a solid foundation.]"

Long Chen was initially stunned, then felt immense happiness. "This package contains exactly what I need!"

Without hesitation, he consumed the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

In the next moment, a layer of pale golden halo began to appear on the surface of his skin. Echoes of his powerful body constitution resonated with the great path. Thousands of threads of Taoist rhyme fell from the void and surrounded him, helping him enter a state of enlightenment.

Between heaven and earth, faint waves of Taoist sounds were heard, colorful clouds appeared, and a golden lotus flower appeared on the ground. Tremendous power flooded his body, making his once dull body glow with majestic vitality again.

His skin shone like divine jade, and his whole body exuded the scent of miraculous medicine, filling the air.

After a while, Long Chen slowly opened his eyes. His body was already filled with increasing vitality. He raised his palm and found it clear as the sun, without a single flaw.

After taking the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill and completing the reconstruction of his physical body, this physical body became more harmonious with his spirit, realizing the unity of self and body.

Although his appearance hadn't changed at all, the inside had undergone a tremendous transformation! In a sense, this body now fully belonged to him, equivalent to time travel in the physical body, not just soul time travel.

"But this is good too. After all, using someone else's body is somewhat uncomfortable."

Long Chen shook his head, then lifted his spirits and dispersed the Taoist phenomena around him, taking Body Tempering Pills.

Instantly, spiritual energy surged around him, rushing into his body. A large amount of spiritual energy flowed through his limbs and bones, washing muscles, bones, skin, and flesh all over his body.

The world went crazy until it reached the peak of Body Tempering!

Long Chen continued and took the Soul Purification Pills. Strands of true energy were compressed and transformed into his soul! There was a loud explosion, and a large amount of primal yuan energy gathered together. In an instant, a void opened up in his consciousness!

Purple air lingered in the void, nourishing the soul and revealing divine consciousness! The Soul Purification Realm was perfect!

First level of the Innate Realm!

Long Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were as bright as lightning, stunning! He exhaled a breath of turbid air like an arrow, which immediately pierced the ground, leaving a small pit!

"Is this the scene in the Innate Realm? If so, in my previous life, I was probably like a little Superman, wasn't I?" Long Chen was very excited.

In this world, the realms are divided into the Body Tempering Realm, the Spirit Purification Realm, the innate Realm, the Soul Expansion Realm, the Spiritual Essence Realm, the Drama Realm, the Heaven Realm, the King Realm, the Venerable Realm, the Quasi-Emperor Realm and the Emperor Realm. Each world is divided into nine small worlds.

Now, having successfully penetrated into the Innate Realm, not only did he open up his consciousness space, but he could also store alien bodies. All the true energy in his body had turned into innate energy! By using his innate power, he could fly directly in the air! In human terms, this condition was no different from the state of earth gods!

"[Ding ~ Host's condition has been detected returning to normal, and the store function has been activated.]"

"[Store: The host can buy anything for clan members (techniques, pills, inheritances, formations, weapons, systems, golden fingers, worlds, ... etc)! As long as you have the luck to buy.]"

Long Chen was amazed for a moment, then a strange look appeared on his face. "This system is so powerful that it even sells golden fingers?"

"Nevertheless, this is good. At this time, a virtual panel appeared quietly before him:"

[Name: Long Chen]

[Cultivation: First level of the Innate Realm]

[Bone Root: Eternal Qualification]

[Understanding: Eternal Qualification]

[Talent: Innate Body]

[Family Luck: 100]

"[A problem has been detected with the host's family. Please urge the host to make progress and solve the problem as soon as possible.]"

"Huh? The family is in trouble?" Long Chen was stunned for a moment, then a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
