Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 77 Supernatural Power! Fist is Power

"Our ancestor is powerful and the highest-ranking member of the family. Your fist is the hardest, so what you say is correct. I am not strong enough, so what I say is unreasonable..."

"Therefore, fist is power!"

Suddenly, Xu Changjun slowly stood up, straightening his posture little by little. His voice echoed softly around him as he stood against the wind, his voice ethereal yet steady and firm.

"What if my fists were hard enough?! Wouldn't that make you think, Ancestor, that some things are just not worth arguing about..."

A burst of light erupted behind him, and a terrifying aura exploded instantly. Suddenly, the Nine-Headed Serpent Demon Diagram floated in the void behind him, radiating unimaginable brilliance.

Beneath a dazzling radiance, a massive network of golden lightning surged like a spiderweb, spreading across the void. Even the solid rocks beneath their feet began to crack and tremble.

In an instant, the Hydra appeared in mid-air, towering like a pillar, its massive, bucket-like head drooping, its eighteen pairs of golden pupils standing upright with cold, sinister lines.

The terrifying aura directly broke through the Purple Mansion aura that was suppressing him. Xu Changjun looked indifferently at the Xu family patriarch with a deep gaze. Behind him, the nine-headed serpent demon continued to dance wildly, emitting deafening roars.

"The aura of the Purple Mansion?! This is... a seed of divine power?!"

Xu Weichao turned around, his expression unchanged.

But as he looked at the nine enormous snake demons swaying behind Xu Changjun, and the lightning arcs spreading across the sky, a golden light suddenly flashed in his pupils, and his white hair danced in the wind.

He could disregard a genius junior in the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, he couldn't help but care about a junior who already possessed minor supernatural abilities at the Foundation Establishment level.

This indicates that Xu Changjun's talent is astonishing, just like the news he heard from the legends of those major cultivation sects during his travels of hundreds of thousands of miles.

This is the seed of true enlightenment that will inevitably lead to breakthrough to the Purple Mansion realm.

There was even a glimmer of hope that they could glimpse the lofty Golden Core level.

This is a seed of the Golden Core, a true successor that all the top cultivation sects would treat with utmost care.

He dedicated his entire life to the rise of the Xu family, so with his keen insight, he had already made his choice. In comparison, whether it was right or wrong was no longer important.

Before the lofty and supreme patriarch of the Xu family, all the younger generations, regardless of their cultivation level, were essentially the same.

Now, it seems that the Third Elder is the one who can be abandoned!

"You now have the right to resist?!"

Faced with Xu Changjun's somewhat confrontational tone, Xu Weichao was not angry at all, but rather quite happy, his eyes revealing a joyful look. He became quite indulgent towards his junior.

"Xu Yuanqing violated the clan rules and was sent to the Cold Wind Cave to meditate for three years. The Third Elder, Xu Lingwu, failed to discipline him properly and was fined half a year's salary and sent to guard another region. He is not allowed to return to the clan without being summoned!"

"Xu Changjun is exceptionally gifted and is the true seed of the Xu family in this generation. He will be promoted to the tenth elder of the family, and his duties will be arranged separately."

These two sentences directly characterize the previous series of events, completely favoring Xu Changjun's verdict.

Xu Changjun quickly decided to stop while he was ahead. He naturally had no complaints, but he was secretly amazed.

High-level battles are often described in such a seemingly casual way.

His previous confrontation with the patriarch was only half-true and half-false; both of them were putting on an act, and there was also a hint of probing in their minds.

Xu Laozu was examining whether he was worth investing in, while he was also testing his ancestor's true mindset and how far he could back down.

Now everyone is happy. The ancestor's judgment was undeniably harsh, and his actions undeniably decisive.

Xu Yuanqing was punished by being sent to the Cold Wind Cave for three years of seclusion. The constant cold wind there would have taken its toll on him. Even if he didn't die, he would probably be severely injured.

If you're unlucky and can't withstand the trials, your life might be ruined.

As for the Third Elder Xu Lingwu, he only had the fault of not disciplining his grandson properly. Xu Yuanqing was just one of his grandsons, and he had many such grandsons, so it was impossible for him to personally take charge of everything.

Now he has been directly exiled by his own ancestor, which can be considered a reduction of his power. In particular, he is not allowed to return to the clan without being summoned, which is especially ruthless and has almost severed his foundation in the family.

In the short term, this is a huge blow to the three-bedroom family, and many people will probably have a tough time in the coming days.

Undoubtedly, this was a compromise by Xu Weichao, and Xu Changjun naturally had to reciprocate by appropriately showing the demeanor expected of a younger member of the family.

Knowing when to stop, Xu Changjun was also adept at coaxing the old man.

Then, Xu Weichao, the patriarch of the Xu family, continued.

"Do you know why I didn't pursue this matter? If you were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, you wouldn't have been able to escape this punishment, and this outcome wouldn't have been possible. But since you have the rudiments of a minor supernatural power and a portion of the Purple Mansion battle strength, you can have this privilege."

"The family's growth is not due to mediocre talents, but to true elites like us... I'm about to break through to the Golden Core realm, and the family is facing a shortage of successors. A new Purple Mansion clansman is the pillar of heaven, the Purple Gold Beam. You've really come out on top this time..."

"I hope you won't let me down!"

……

Xu Changjun gazed at the pillar of the Xu family, the Purple Mansion Ancestor who had supported the entire Xu family for 150 years, and secretly marveled.

As expected, the Xu family, who became the overlords of Yundong Lake, were no saints; they were wicked to the core.

From top to bottom, the Xu family, including the patriarch and elders, are all ruthless and vicious. This Purple Mansion Ancestor is the real culprit.

However, only a family like this could rise to prominence in the chaotic world of cultivation, starting from humble beginnings and now dominating the entire Yunlu Mountain Range, becoming the overlord of Yundong Lake.

He was a possessor and didn't have much affection for the Xu family, but because of their blood ties, the Xu family was naturally his strongest ally.

Family ties are unimportant, blood relations are unimportant, the binding of interests is the most crucial.

In fact, the old ancestor's performance did not surprise him. After all, he was a Purple Mansion cultivator who had lived for two hundred years. How could he be a naive old man?!

In the long process of cultivation, only a cunning and ruthless mind can control the vast power of a family. With so many descendants, he has gradually lost the so-called kinship with most of them, and his only concern is whether the family is strong.

As for all the seemingly "rebellious" actions that Xu Changjun had previously taken, Xu Weichao chose to ignore them all and directly appointed Xu Changjun as the "tenth" elder of the family.

In an instant, Xu Changjun's status skyrocketed, transforming him from a junior who could be exploited by his elders into someone on par with Xu Lingwu.

In the world of cultivation, strength is the only standard that determines status.
