Unlimited Investment in the Destined Protagonist: Forging an Eternal Immortal Clan - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Choosing the Strongest Family System, Merging with the Tyrannical Heavenly Physique, and Ascending to the Throne of the Lu Royal Mansion!

When you’re out there working hard and suddenly receive news from your family telling you that you can return home to inherit the throne, what kind of experience is that?

He, Lu Qingxuan, was now facing this very situation.

“Qingxuan, it’s been three years since you joined the Qingyun Dao Sect. Is everything alright …? A few days ago, your older brother tragically perished while vying for an opportunity on an island. This triggered a beast tide, and your father unfortunately died while fending it off! Your mother hopes you’ll return as soon as possible to inherit the family throne!”

“…”

After reading the message from his family, Lu Qingxuan fell into deep thought. He hadn’t expected that just after awakening memories of his past life, he’d encounter such a situation.

As the second son of the Lu Royal Mansion, he originally had no hope of inheriting the family throne, so three years ago, he came to the Qingyun Dao Sect to cultivate. But now, he had unexpectedly gained the right to inherit. Should he return home to take the throne?

[Ding! Detecting that the host has awakened memories of a past life, the system is now being matched!].

A mechanical voice suddenly sounded, startling Lu Qingxuan.

The system had arrived?

Lu Qingxuan’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

[Ding! Loading successful. Please make your choice, host.].

[Option 1: Do not return home to inherit the throne, stay at the Qingyun Dao Sect as a disciple, and receive max-level comprehension and the Purple Yang Dao Physique!].

[Option 2: Return to the family to inherit the throne, lead the family to rise, activate the Strongest Family System, and receive the Tyrannical Heavenly Physique!].

After reviewing the two options, Lu Qingxuan didn’t hesitate and immediately chose Option 2.

To hesitate even for a second would be disrespectful to the system and the Tyrannical Heavenly Physique!

[Ding! The Strongest Family System is loading…].

Immediately, a transparent panel appeared before Lu Qingxuan’s eyes.

[Name: Lu Qingxuan].

[Cultivation: Foundation Realm, Second Layer].

[Aptitude: Genius (Dull, Low, Medium, High, Genius, Prodigy, Supreme, Emperor, Immortal)].

[Comprehension: High (same as above)].

[Talent: Mortal Physique (Mortal Physique, Spirit Physique, King Physique, Divine Physique, Holy Physique, Immortal Physique)].

[Module Functions: Please inherit the position of family head as soon as possible to officially unlock various module functions!].

[System Space: Tyrannical Heavenly Physique].

“It seems that after merging with the Tyrannical Heavenly Physique, I need to hurry back home to inherit the throne!”

After glancing over the information on the panel, Lu Qingxuan made up his mind.

Otherwise, this system would be useless!

Without delay, he immediately extracted the Tyrannical Heavenly Physique and began the fusion process.

In the next instant, Lu Qingxuan’s entire body shimmered with a precious glow as countless streams of spiritual energy poured into his dantian. A vast amount of innate life essence washed over his physical body.

Every inch of Lu Qingxuan’s flesh and bones underwent a mysterious transformation, his skin glowing like radiant purple jade. When Lu Qingxuan opened his eyes, his gaze was like lightning, captivating and awe-inspiring.

Sensing his reborn self and his cultivation breakthrough to the sixth layer of the Purple Mansion Realm, Lu Qingxuan’s face was filled with joy.

Moreover, his aptitude and comprehension had both risen to the Emperor level.

This was incredibly satisfying—an all-around improvement.

As long as he didn’t court death, his future achievements would surely be limitless.

“Next, I’ll go through the sect withdrawal procedures and return to the family to inherit the throne as soon as possible!”

With his decision made, he left his cave dwelling and headed toward the sect’s administration hall.

As an inner disciple, withdrawing from the sect wasn’t exactly easy. But Lu Qingxuan had money, which made things much simpler. After all, as the second son of the Lu Royal Mansion, he was quite wealthy.

Half an hour later, after spending half his fortune, Lu Qingxuan finally completed the withdrawal process. Without delay, he packed up, activated a flying boat treasure, and set off toward the Lu Royal Mansion.

The Lu Royal Mansion was a prestigious foreign prince’s estate in the Lingyun Dynasty of Beihan Prefecture. Adorned with gold and purple, its title was hereditary and eternal!

The Lu Royal Mansion was located in Beiyuan County, the northernmost region of the Lingyun Dynasty, with its clan territory situated in Zhenhai City. The northern gate of the city bordered the entire Northern Sea.

The Qingyun Dao Sect was quite far from Beiyuan County, and even at Lu Qingxuan’s speed, it would take several days to return home.

Three days later.

As soon as Lu Qingxuan entered Zhenhai City, he was greeted by a scene of devastation. Collapsed buildings were everywhere, and the streets were desolate. Lu Qingxuan knew this was the aftermath of Zhenhai City resisting the sea beast tide, yet to be cleaned up or rebuilt.

Soon, Lu Qingxuan reached the center of Zhenhai City. When he saw the still-intact Sky-Supporting Island floating in the void, undamaged, he finally felt a wave of relief.

Sky-Supporting Island was the clan territory of the Lu Royal Mansion. Though it didn’t look large, the treasure island spanned dozens of miles.

“Oh, the second young master is back! Quick … go report this!”

Before Lu Qingxuan could reach Sky-Supporting Island, members of the Lu family immediately recognized him, their expressions filled with joy.

Shortly after, Lu Qingxuan’s mother, Jiang Xuanya, emerged from Sky-Supporting Island with a group of clan elders.

“Greetings, Mother. Greetings, Elders!” Lu Qingxuan bowed to Jiang Xuanya and the group of elders.

“Good, Qingxuan, you’re back. Come … let’s head inside first!” Seeing her son after so long, Jiang Xuanya’s face lit up with a rare smile. She quickly pulled Lu Qingxuan into Sky-Supporting Island.

In the following time, Jiang Xuanya took Lu Qingxuan to pay respects to his father and older brother. Then, under the witness of all the Lu family members, he smoothly ascended to the throne of the Lu Royal Mansion.

Afterward, guided by a few core elders, Lu Qingxuan took over a series of miscellaneous affairs within the mansion. It wasn’t until half a day later that Lu Qingxuan finally returned to his room.

[Ding! Detecting that the host has inherited the family leadership of the Lu Royal Mansion, the Strongest Family System’s functional modules are now loading …].

The system functions are finally here? Lu Qingxuan’s eyes brightened.

In the next moment, the system panel reloaded.

[Name: Lu Qingxuan, Cultivation: Purple Mansion Sixth Layer]

[Aptitude: Emperor].

[Comprehension: Emperor].

[Talent: Tyrannical Heavenly Physique].

[Investment Returns: Based on system-triggered investment prompts, investing in clan members can yield critical returns of varying levels!].

[Investment Levels, from lowest to highest: White, Blue, Green, Purple, Gold!].

[More Children More Blessings: The more wives and concubines the host takes, and the more offspring born, the greater the rewards. The higher the offspring’s aptitude, the richer the rewards!].

[Note 1: The female partner’s overall rating must not be below 90, with aptitude no less than Emperor, physique no less than Holy Physique, or luck no less than Gold!].

[Warm Reminder: The family’s luck is extremely important and closely tied to the family’s rise and fall. If it runs out, the family will face ruin. If the family’s luck grows higher, the luck of its members will improve as well!].

The system’s functions were clear at a glance, and Lu Qingxuan felt this system had a lot of potential.

However, the “More Children More Blessings” function gave him a bit of a headache.

Emperor-level aptitude, Holy Physique, Golden luck?

Lu Qingxuan was a bit speechless. Where could he easily find a woman who met even one of those criteria? For now, he didn’t hold much hope for that function.

Right now, the family was in ruins and needed him to lead it back to prosperity. The “Investment Returns” function was what he was most excited about. With that in mind, he stepped out of his room, planning to wander around the Lu Royal Mansion to see if he could trigger an investment prompt.

[Ding! A golden-level investment candidate has been detected. The host may initiate an investment!].

As Lu Qingxuan passed by the back mountain, the system’s notification finally sounded in his mind.

Golden?

Lu Qingxuan was slightly surprised, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he followed the system’s guidance toward the investment candidate.
