Daoist title-Starflame True Lord!

In an instant, a three-colored barrier rose up in front of Zhang Xuanchen!

Boom boom boom!

Thunderbolts gathered and descended in streaks, forming Thunder Dragon.

The power of thunder surged across the surface of the barrier.

Lei Li was transformed into pure energy through the barrier and injected into Zhang Xuanchen's body.

Click!

Click!

The three-colored barrier suddenly shattered!

Boom!

All the lightning was poured into Zhang Xuanchen's body.

"Ah!"

"Refine it for me!"

The terrifying lightning force tore his robes to shreds, leaving his skin covered in hideous tear stains.

The Dragon Scale scales on its body rolled up, and its flesh tore apart!

Zhang Xuanchen gritted his teeth, trying his best to stay clear-headed.

In the distance, Zhang Deling, standing beside Luo Lingshuang, watched Zhang Xuanchen surrounded by lightning.

He tugged at Luo Lingshuang's skirt.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked up, saying:

"Mom, Dad will be alright, right?"

Before Luo Lingshuang could reply, Zhang Dexiao, who was standing next to her, patted Zhang Deling on the shoulder.

He laughed heartlessly:

"Haha, little sister, don't worry, with Dad's physique, he'll be fine."

Who knows, he might actually be enjoying it right now.

Moreover, Senior Shuoxing hasn't even made a move yet.

Don't worry about it.

If Dad's in trouble, my brother will eat a whole pound of it...

"Get out of my way!"

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Lingshuang slapped him on the head.

Then move it aside.

Four years have passed, Zhang Dexiao's personality has not only not mellowed at all, but has even become more unconventional.

They wouldn't break any clan rules, but their actions were incredibly infuriating.

Over the years, even the usually good-tempered Luo Lingshuang would unconsciously swear when facing Zhang Dexiao.

Now at the age of twelve, his cultivation has reached the Qi Refining Peak, and he is only one step away from Foundation Establishment.

Zhang Deling completed the Heavenly Dao Foundation half a year ago, and his cultivation level reached the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Only a handful of people, including Zhang Chongxian, Luo Lingshuang, Xuanjing, Shuoxing, and Little Peach, knew their exact cultivation levels.

Even the elders and hall masters only knew the general outline.

After pushing Zhang Dexiao aside, Luo Lingshuang bent down and gently rubbed Zhang Deling's head, whispering:

"Your dad will definitely be alright."

"Peace of mind is..."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Beneath the distant thunderclouds, a dragon's roar resounded through the heavens.

Zhang Xuanchen's entire body shimmered with blood-gold light, and a blood-gold dragon, a thousand feet long, coiled motionless behind him.

The overwhelming dragon's might caused all the Demon Beast on the Penglai Islands to tremble in fear.

It emitted a low, whimpering sound, indicating submission.

The scales that had been fluttering on its body surface returned to normal at this moment.

"Early Stage of Fourth Transformation!"

Finally, I broke through!

As Zhang Xuanchen felt the surge of power within his body, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Looking up, I saw the last bolt of lightning gathering in the thunderclouds.

There was not a trace of fear in his eyes.

"Stars pacify the world, Burning Wind shatter calamities, and all things return to one!"

In an instant, the remaining Stellar Force, Wind Power, and Fire Power within his body perfectly merged under the control of the Star River Burning Wind Myriad Transformations Art.

All of it was concentrated within the Nascent Soul.

Boom!

After a deafening roar, the final bolt of lightning crashed down!

A thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image also manifested behind Zhang Xuanchen, wielding the Meteor Sword and slashing towards the sky!

Boom!

The intense lightning completely engulfed Zhang Xuanchen, and the area within a radius of several miles was covered by lightning.

Three breaths later.

The lightning faded, and the thunder ceased.

The dark thunderclouds in the sky quickly dissipated.

The next moment.

The sun broke through the clouds, casting countless golden rays across the heavens.

Zhang Xuanchen condensed a layer of spiritual energy into a robe and sat cross-legged in mid-air.

Receive the seven-colored glow bestowed upon us by Heavenly Dao.

The wounds on his body healed rapidly under the glow of the sunset.

With a deafening roar, a thousand-foot- Nascent Soul Dharma Image manifested behind him.

The Dharma image is adorned with Stellar Jade Crown and Burning Wind Flowing Flame Dao Robe.

He can grasp the Milky Way, his sleeves can unleash fierce winds, his divine power is boundless!

An overwhelming pressure swept across an area of tens of thousands of miles, drawing all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to this place.

Zhang Xuanchen looked up at the sky.

The voice was deep and solemn, echoing through the mountains.

"I Zhang Xuanchen, today, shatter my elixir and condense my infant spirit, thus advancing to the ranks of True Lord."

His Daoist title is "Starflame True Lord!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavens and earth roared in response.

The glow of the sunset faded.

Behind him, the Nascent Soul dharma image slightly lowered its head, and then dissipated into the world.

Zhang Xuanchen lowered his hands, feeling the power of the Nascent Soul within his body.

"Finally... we've come this far."

"Although the Golden Core is powerful, it is still fundamentally based on the physical body as a vessel and the Golden Core as a core. Its own Law Power is limited by the constraints of the flesh and blood body."

"Upon entering the Nascent Soul and passing through the life-or-death hurdle of Shattering the Core and Condensing the Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul condensed in the dantian becomes like a second life."

If the Nascent Soul remains intact, one can be reborn through another's body.

His lifespan increased dramatically, he gained a preliminary understanding of the Principle of heaven and earth, and could teleport short distances instantly; it was as if he had been reborn.

The saying "Those below the Nascent Soul are all ants" is not without merit.

Zhang Xuanchen looked emotional.

The Xuanjing manifested on his shoulder and laughed:

"That's for sure. Only when you reach the Nascent Soul does it mean you've truly embarked on the path to immortality."

Also, congratulations to Brother Chen on breaking through his Inner Demon and advancing to the Nascent Soul!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Luo Lingshuang, Great Sage, Zhang Detian, and a group of Lineage Elder Hall appeared in front of Zhang Xuanchen.

They clasped their hands and said in unison:

Congratulations, Clan Leader, on your advancement to the Nascent Soul!

Before the words had even faded, dozens of high-ranking members from the Su Family, Xuandan Sect, Liu Family, Thousand Sword Sect, and other affiliated forces, including the Su Family, floated in the air and bowed deeply to Zhang Xuanchen.

We congratulate Clan Leader Zhang on his ascension to the ranks of True Lord!

May Clan Leader Zhang's Daoist arts flourish forever, and may he live a long and prosperous life!

At this moment, these forces were completely convinced. The Nascent Soul, who were not even fifty years old, could not even muster the thought of resisting.

They had absolutely no idea how to overthrow the Zhang Family.

The only thing to do is to submit!

Utter surrender!

Zhang Chongxian stepped forward and patted Zhang Xuanchen on the shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction, "Xuan Chen, well done."

He truly deserves to be called the Kirin Son of the Zhang Family!

With you here, my Zhang Family will surely reach the pinnacle of this world!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen laughed and said, "Immortal Ancestor, without your protection, there would be no Zhang Xuanchen today."

I'll need your guidance in the future.

Don't even think about retiring.

Zhang Chongxian shook his head with a smile, "You rascal."

He then stepped aside.

Zhang Xuanchen stepped forward, took Luo Lingshuang's hand, looked at the crowd, and said loudly:

"Please, everyone, no need for formalities!"

"Now that our Clan Leader has attained the Nascent Soul, the strength of our Zhang Clan Alliance has been elevated once again."

This Clan Leader can tell you this clearly.

Neither I nor any future Clan Leader of the Zhang Family will curb the development of Affiliated Force.

You are capable of breaking through to the Golden Core stage; you are at the Nascent Soul.

That's your destiny.

My Zhang Family will not intervene.

The Clan Leader's original intention was that while the Zhang Family was developing and growing stronger, and gaining benefits, the Affiliated Force could also benefit.

Rather than stagnate or even decline!

I hope that our Zhang Family Alliance can grow stronger and achieve even greater success!

"Of course, if any of you choose to betray the Zhang Family and sell out the Zhang Family's interests."

This Clan Leader will annihilate them without mercy!

Here in the Clan Leader,

Those who perform meritorious service should be rewarded! Those who commit wrongdoing should be punished!

I'm telling you this in Clan Leader.

So that you won't have to use personal favors or past achievements as excuses when you're on your deathbed!

Do you all understand?!
