Otherwise, Leonard Carter absolutely wouldn’t care whether he lived or died. The clan rules are only used to restrain the weak.

Leonard Carter nodded, his words full of meaning: “Don’t let me down. Otherwise, if this happens again, perhaps the clan rules will be used to restrain you.”

Andrew Carter nodded stiffly. “But please rest assured!”

With his hands behind his back, Leonard Carter walked away, while Andrew Carter returned to his own residence in the ancestral land.

Competition is encouraged within the ancestral land, and this is evident everywhere.

Take the residences, for example. Andrew Carter used to rank at the bottom, so the courtyard he lived in was the smallest and most dilapidated in the entire ancestral land.

The two wooden doors were already badly damaged, all kicked in by Jason Carter and his followers when they came to cause trouble for him in the past.

But today, just as he reached the entrance, four disciples hurried over and respectfully said to him, “Young Master Ang, Uncle Lin asked us to inform you that Courtyard No. 9 in the Yellow Section has been vacated. You can move in right away, and we’re here to help you move.”

Andrew Carter was momentarily stunned, not expecting such a quick response from the ancestral land.

But this was also within expectations. Among the human race, the strong rise and many nations compete; externally, there is the powerful pressure of the demon race. Martial cultivation has become the sole standard by which a person is judged.

In this regard, it’s similar to the previous life of Andrew Carter in a commodity society, where income was the only measure of a person.

Now, he already possessed the cultivation of Six Meridians Power, making him a very powerful presence among the ordinary disciples in the ancestral land. So Leonard Carter had no hesitation in assigning him a Yellow Section courtyard.

Within the ancestral land, aside from the ordinary courtyards, there are four higher grades: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. The Yellow Section courtyards are specially prepared for outstanding ordinary disciples, while the three higher grades are all inhabited by True Martial disciples.

His strength now firmly placed him in the top five among the ordinary disciples.

Chapter 8: The Dining Hall Dispute (Part 1)

Andrew Carter didn’t have much to move, but those disciples were extremely attentive, packing up all sorts of miscellaneous items and carrying them on their backs.

So when they walked out, each of them was loaded down with big and small bags, looking quite burdened, which Andrew Carter found secretly amusing.

The Yellow Section courtyard was located at the foot of the mountain, with a small river flowing in front of the gate. The water was clear, and the surrounding spiritual energy was very dense, which greatly satisfied Andrew Carter.

He thanked the disciples, who were flattered and repeatedly said they didn’t dare accept his thanks, asking Andrew Carter to look after them in the future. Andrew Carter, however, did not promise lightly.

If he gave his word, he would definitely keep it. If anyone came to him for help in the future, he would do his utmost to assist.

After the others left, Andrew Carter sat down in his room and fell into thought.

According to what was said, as soon as Jason Carter finished his seclusion, he would definitely reach the realm of Seven Meridians Power—Andrew Carter believed this.

Jason Carter himself had excellent talent; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been valued by the ancestral land, making continuous breakthroughs in just half a year of cultivation there.

Moreover, Jason Carter was the son of Samuel Carter. Over the years that Samuel Carter had been clan leader, he had unscrupulously enriched himself, encroaching on the interests of other branches. The resources Jason Carter could obtain were several times that of others, and even dozens of times more than Andrew Carter!

Since he went into seclusion, he must be fully confident.

However, Andrew Carter was not afraid. He was very confident that, with the help of the Immortal Emperor’s Heart Demon, even if Jason Carter had already reached the realm of Seven Meridians Power, as long as he could reach the peak of Six Meridians Power, he would be able to fight him!

And as long as he advanced to Seven Meridians Power, Jason Carter would be utterly defeated!

Courtyard No. 9 in the Yellow Section was fully equipped, with all kinds of martial arts training equipment in the yard. Even if something was damaged, as soon as he mentioned it, someone would immediately come to replace it with a brand new one.

There was also an underground chamber sealed with a first-grade Grand Completion talisman, specially used for closed-door cultivation.

Jason Carter lived in Courtyard No. 5 in the Yellow Section, and he was likely cultivating in the underground chamber as well.

Andrew Carter now continued to improve his realm, so he didn’t waste any time and entered the underground chamber to begin cultivating.

Although it was only a first-grade Grand Completion talisman, it still had the dual effect of defense and gathering spiritual energy. Andrew Carter sat cross-legged in the chamber and began to circulate the “Xuanhuang Qi-Gathering Technique.”

After advancing to Six Meridians Power, the vortex of his cultivation method had expanded to a diameter of five zhang. As it operated, it swept up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, drawing in clusters of energy bubbles.

The ancestral land itself was located at the foot of a mountain where the spiritual energy was extremely dense. Coupled with the gathering effect of the first-grade Grand Completion talisman, Andrew Carter cultivated here with half the effort for twice the result.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Andrew Carter’s Six Meridians Power realm was further consolidated. He was now ready to attempt a breakthrough from the mid-stage to the high-stage of Six Meridians Power.

During the subsequent cultivation, Andrew Carter gradually noticed something strange: from a certain direction, the amount of spiritual energy coming in was somewhat greater.

Because of the effect of the first-grade Grand Completion talisman outside, this “difference” was concealed to the greatest extent, so Andrew Carter didn’t notice it at first.

After a while, he became more certain. From that direction, not only was the quantity of spiritual energy bubbles greater, but their quality was also purer. So he consciously searched for the specific source of these energy bubbles.

When he was finally able to confirm it, he slowly stopped his cultivation, opened his eyes, and was slightly surprised.
