Chapter 77 Your family is the soil in which you grow, and also your solid support!
The moment Zhang Xuanchen sat on the throne of the family head, his mind went blank.
Then two words came to mind.
responsibility!
Once he succeeds as clan leader, he can no longer only think of himself. Every decision he makes can be said to affect the direction of the clan's development, or even its life and death.
He will bear the primary responsibility for the future of the family.
Zhang Chongxian looked at Zhang Xuanchen, who was sitting silently beside him, and a hint of relief flashed across his face.
It seems he has realized what he has to take on.
At less than seventeen years old, faced with this sudden surge of power, he was not blinded by it, but instead began to seriously consider the future of his family.
To have such a reaction at this age shows a maturity that far surpasses that of most people.
He performed even better than Zhang Hongzhan, who was nearly forty years old at the time.
Smiling, he asked, "Little Chen, how are you feeling?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen glanced around at the Zhang family executives sitting on both sides; they were all looking at him with smiles on their faces.
His eyes were full of encouragement and trust.
They all believed that the young man sitting on the throne of the family head would surely bring a better future to the Zhang family.
Making mistakes isn't a big deal; these old guys aren't dead yet.
As long as it's not terribly wrong, there's always a backup plan.
His gaze fixed on Zhang Chongxian, and he slowly said, "I feel a lot of pressure. I don't know if I can do it well."
Zhang Chongxian was not surprised to hear this reply.
No matter how composed he is, he is still just a boy who is not yet seventeen years old.
He raised his hand and gently placed it on Zhang Xuanchen's shoulder, speaking in a calm voice:
"Xiao Chen, your Dao heart knows no age, and your talent is not limited by age. Although you are young, your excellence has been seen by all your clansmen."
We believe in you, and you should believe in yourself too.
We old folks are still around, so let's give it our all. Even if there are deviations, they are necessary experiences on the path.
Remember, the position of clan leader is not a shackle, but just a small episode on your path to growth.
The family is the soil from which you grew up, and it is also your solid support. We don't trust the title of patriarch, but we trust you, Zhang Xuanchen, as a person.
As he spoke, Zhang Chongxian formed a Mind-Clearing Seal with his right hand, and specks of spiritual light entered Zhang Xuanchen's brow.
Let his heart gradually calm down.
After a moment, he stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhang Chongxian.
He then bowed to his father and the others in the hall.
He raised his head and smiled, "Gentlemen, I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."
At this moment, his mindset changed. Since his people had chosen him, he would accept it.
As long as he does his best, the outcome will not be bad.
"Haha, I must say, I feel that Xiao Chen is born to be the clan leader." Zhang Guangli looked at Zhang Xuanchen standing in front of the main seat, his eyes full of admiration.
Zhang Xuanchen's demeanor had changed considerably at this moment.
Zhang Guangyao joked, "Who says otherwise? While we can still call Xiao Chen in the family hall, let's hurry up and call him a few more times."
Otherwise, after he succeeds as clan leader in three days, he won't be able to call out here anymore.
"Haha, that's for sure."
Zhang Xuanchen was taken aback upon hearing their words.
three days?
So urgent?
He thought that the elders were sending him here to get used to things beforehand.
Zhang Hongzhan patted Zhang Xuanchen on the shoulder with a smile: "Haha, of course, the sooner the better for this kind of thing."
Don't worry, family affairs won't affect your cultivation. I and the elders will handle it.
Your job is to coordinate everything and issue the clan decree.
If it weren't for the fact that some families live quite far from Xuanxiao Mountain, we would have held an succession ceremony for you tomorrow.
However, given the threat posed by the Soul Devouring Cult, you cannot hold a grand ceremony three days from now; instead, you should opt for a smooth transition.
Only some families and affiliated forces with whom they have cooperation will be invited.
The key is to inform and maintain the relationship, what do you think?
Zhang Xuanchen naturally had no objection to this matter.
Extravagant celebrations and sending out numerous invitations are not his style.
The situation is currently turbulent, and we cannot afford to be in the eye of the storm.
It's better to play it safe.
"I have no objection; the smaller the ceremony, the better."
"You brat, we are a Golden Core family after all. Too small won't do. Since you agree, I will send people to deliver the invitations to the various forces."
Let those families prepare in advance.
"it is good."
Zhang Xuanchen nodded in agreement, then smiled mysteriously and said:
"I've brought a lot of good stuff with me today, enough to make the Zhang family stand at the top of the South China Sea Immortal Continent."
Upon hearing this, the sounds in the hall ceased abruptly, and a solemn expression appeared on everyone's face.
They knew that the good stuff Zhang Xuanchen mentioned was very likely the inheritance within the secret realm.
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Hongzhan created two more arrays on top of the two arrays already activated in the main hall.
The lowest grade has reached the second-tier top grade, and the highest grade has reached the third-tier middle grade.
After all, important family decisions and business matters are discussed in the family hall, so having more protective measures is necessary.
Of course, this was added at Zhang Xuanchen's suggestion.
Zhang Hongqing looked at Zhang Xuanchen expectantly and said:
"Xiao Chen, hurry, Uncle Qing is ready to swear a blood oath."
His naturalness stemmed from the nature of his own cultivation technique.
Because of a fortuitous encounter in his early years, he cultivated a dark attribute technique that he had obtained by chance.
However, this cultivation technique has a major drawback: it can only be cultivated up to the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Over the years, he has frequently traveled to inquire about dark attribute cultivation techniques, but unfortunately, such techniques are extremely rare.
Moreover, no faction is foolish enough to sell third-tier cultivation techniques.
Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of contribution points. If Zhang Xuanchen obtains a third-tier dark attribute technique from the inheritance, he will do anything to exchange for it, even if it means going bankrupt!
Seeing the looks in everyone's eyes, Zhang Xuanchen didn't hesitate and directly shared his cultivation techniques, spells, secret methods, alchemy techniques, weapon crafting techniques, and pill formulas.
They also took out that terrifyingly thick book, as well as the almost spiritually degraded fourth-tier spiritual artifact and third-tier magic weapon.
The Mirror of Three Lives is still dormant and has not been retrieved.
"Fifth-tier Crimson Sun Heaven-Burning Technique! Am I dreaming? Sister Han, quick, slap me!"
Zhang Guanghan didn't hesitate, because she also wanted to verify whether she was dreaming.
He slapped Zhang Guangyao across the face.
Several hairs of his beard were pulled out.
"Ouch! This isn't a dream! Hahaha!"
Zhang Guangyao jumped up with joy, a man of his age, yet he was as happy as a child!
Zhang Zujun's eyes were fixed on the prescription and the thick book.
Zhang Hongqing was frantically sifting through a large pile of cultivation techniques, trying to find a high-level dark attribute cultivation technique.
Zhang Xuanchen smiled, took the Great Evolution Gengjin Scripture, and placed it in Zhang Chongxian's hands.
After reading it, his tall, straight body trembled with excitement.
However, having lived for over three hundred years, he quickly regained control of his emotions.
Looking at Zhang Xuanchen, he asked, "What are your plans for these cultivation techniques and spells?"
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped what they were doing.
They all looked at Zhang Xuanchen.
"My idea is to divide these techniques into Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and Golden Core chapters, and place them on the first to third floors of the Transmission Building respectively."
As for the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation chapters, we won't reveal them yet. We can bring them out later when a Nascent Soul True Monarch appears in the family.
Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Zhang Chongxian nodded.
"Okay, we'll do as you say. As for the remaining cultivation techniques and spells, you can keep them. How to deal with them in the future is still up to you."
No one else may interfere.
He then looked at the people in the hall, unleashing his full Golden Core aura, and said calmly:
"Swear a blood oath."
