Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate Chapter 2155: 1102: Tian Yun Returns (Part 2)

With the crisis largely over upon reaching this point,

he then journeyed without stop, carefully avoiding detection and taking no breaks, managing to get back to the clan without issues.

In total, Lin Tianyun spent almost two months on the road, crossing lands of various nations and making stops in a few major and mid-sized cities, before at last arriving at the Lin Family Clan Grounds after being away for a full year.

Hearing this news, Lin Tianming and Lin Shilu both nodded approvingly.

From their perspective, Lin Tianyun's trip looked straightforward, mainly involving travel and time on the move.

Even though it dragged on for a while, the trip stayed pretty routine overall, free from any intense fights at least.

On the other hand, Lin Tianming and Qin Xi faced one or more assaults right after leaving the Ancient Demon Secret Realm.

Notably for Lin Tianming, he even clashed with Song Chufeng, an expert at the Nascent Soul Stage, near the edge of Yuxu Country.

Ultimately, Lin Tianming drove off Song Chufeng without trouble and made it back safely to the Qingyun Mountain Clan Land.

While Lin Tianyun's path was the longest by far, it proved to be the most secure in comparison.

As a result, having gone through dangers himself, Lin Tianming felt pleased with how Lin Tianyun handled his return.

Furthermore, Lin Tianming believed Lin Tianyun's method deserved praise.

Returning without trouble or dangers was always the ideal outcome.

Unless there was no other option, he wouldn't pick a battle himself, and he certainly didn't want to deal with a direct challenge from a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse like Song Chufeng.

Luckily, even with the risky paths they took, all three made it home unharmed.

With that in mind, a pleased grin spread across Lin Tianming's face.

Lin Shilu, serving as an elder, kept a wide smile, overflowing with delight.

Once he settled a little, Lin Tianyun grew eager to hear about what Lin Tianming and his companion had faced since coming back to the clan.

So, Lin Tianyun quickly asked Lin Tianming about it.

With no secrets to keep, Lin Tianming promptly told Lin Tianyun all about his own adventures and what Qin Xi had endured.

Before long, after hearing their stories, Lin Tianyun felt deeply astonished.

He was especially floored learning that Lin Tianming had to battle Song Chufeng, nearly gaping in shock.

This wasn't due to a lack of composure on his part; he simply understood that Song Chufeng outclassed the Fourth Order Demonic Beasts from the Ancient Demon Secret Realm and wasn't on the same level as foes like Situ Jian.

Keep in mind, Song Chufeng was a true Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse with over a millennium of experience in that realm.

The battle-hardened strength of this Nascent Soul Stage expert surpassed that of typical Fourth Order Demonic Beasts by a wide margin.

So, discovering that Lin Tianming had squared off against Song Chufeng and even wounded him,

in the end, Song Chufeng, pressured by Lin Tianming's might and the Yulan Sect's influence, had to pull back for the time being.

This result left Lin Tianyun completely awestruck.

He fully recognized the fearsome power Lin Tianming possessed.

For starters, Lin Tianming had shown impressive fighting prowess inside the Ancient Demon Secret Realm, effortlessly taking down the Fourth Order Ancient Demonic Beast known as the Sky-reaching Spirit Monkey.

With that kind of ability, he could certainly hold his own against a standard Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

But holding his own was all it amounted to.

Expecting to actually harm a veteran Nascent Soul Stage expert seemed like an impossible challenge.

Still, Lin Tianming pulled off this tough achievement.

From what Lin Tianming described, the ordeal wasn't quite as tough as one might think.

Consequently, Lin Tianyun found himself totally floored.

Regaining some composure at last, Lin Tianyun developed real respect and thrill toward Lin Tianming.

He realized clearly that Lin Tianming's growing power would elevate the entire Lin Family.

And as part of the Lin Family, he stood to gain from it too.

The same held true for every member of the Lin Family.

Because of this, Lin Tianyun's feelings shifted from initial dread to overwhelming happiness once he knew the full story.

With his emotions in check, Lin Tianyun started to act normally again.

Seizing the moment, Lin Tianming shared his future intentions with Lin Tianyun.

This included Lin Tianming's insights on the Cultivation World's direction and his forecasts about the Blood Red Alliance, all passed along to Lin Tianyun.

Finding out that Lin Tianming planned to enter seclusion for a shot at the Nascent Soul Realm didn't catch Lin Tianyun off guard.

Lin Tianming had thoroughly broken down the state of the Cultivation World and the Blood Red Alliance, after all.

Based on Lin Tianming's predictions, the Blood Red Alliance was bound to strike at the Jinfeng Nation.

That said, the exact timing remained uncertain and could span a wide range.

Should the Blood Red Alliance move, they'd unleash a massive offensive, leaving the Lin Family no chance to catch its breath.

Building on that, the Lin Family now dealt with heavy outside threats.

These came from external powers.

Apart from those, the Lin Family had gained several Nascent Soul Spiritual Items from the Ancient Demon Secret Realm, satisfying the core needs for attempting the Nascent Soul Stage.

On top of that, a number of clan members had hit Golden Core Great Perfection, opening doors for their next breakthroughs.

In this setup, with everything in place and intense pressure from without, the Lin Family needed to push forward to protect its future.

Should a single Lin Family member break into the Nascent Soul Stage, it could turn around their looming crisis.

Failing to progress, however,

would mean doom for the Lin Family when the Blood Red Alliance finally attacked.

On the flip side, as Lin Tianming pointed out, the Lin Family had to grab this fleeting calm to achieve big leaps.

That alone would give them the groundwork to face the Blood Red Alliance directly.

To make it happen, Lin Tianming remained the prime candidate in the Lin Family for reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, with the highest odds of success.

Even the gifted Lin Tianyun had to agree.

Therefore, hearing Lin Tianming's blueprint, Lin Tianyun backed his ideas and setups completely, raising no complaints.

He endorsed Lin Tianming's key changes to handle the Lin Family's present challenges.

To him, depending just on Lin Tianming's rise could only set the Lin Family's peak potential.

But boosting the clan's main power would lock in its baseline safety.

In tough times, the Lin Family could still weather the storm to some extent.

His thoughts aligned perfectly with Lin Tianming's on this.

Lin Shilu felt the same way.

So, once Lin Tianming laid out his strategies and preparations, Lin Tianyun eagerly voiced his full agreement.

This extended to Lin Tianming's seclusion for cultivation, where Lin Tianyun would pause his own training to pour more effort into helping Lin Shilu manage clan duties and stresses.

His goal was to let Lin Tianming concentrate entirely on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, free from concerns.

Success for Lin Tianming would remake the Lin Family and send it skyrocketing.

Then, the Blood Red Alliance's danger would fade away.

For that, Lin Tianyun pressed Lin Tianming to start his seclusion right away and make that vital breakthrough.

He assured him that clan issues wouldn't be a problem during the retreat.

Next, considering Lin Tianyun's stance and seeing his serious but assured look, Lin Tianming's inner concerns eased a great deal.
