Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate Chapter 2158: 1104: Greatest Reliance

Examples like these are plentiful across the cultivation realm.

Consider rogue cultivators at the Golden Core Stage with no backing; they pursue superior seclusion spots to elevate their odds of ascending to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Typically, they approach mighty powers, offering substantial resources and treasures for assistance, or they pledge major commitments to secure robust support from these organizations.

Minimally, a retreat location rich in spiritual energy and reasonably secure is required.

In pursuit of this, independent cultivators squander vast resources and accumulate countless favors, establishing partnerships that benefit both sides with powerful entities.

Lacking such arrangements, loose cultivators hesitate to place faith in outsiders, far less to ally with dominant forces.

This wariness arises because, during seclusion—especially in the perilous bid for Nascent Soul advancement—an uninterrupted environment proves essential.

Any break in the flow could merely doom the breakthrough at worst, or it might claim the cultivator's life.

Hence, every cultivator treats the core setting with utmost seriousness amid grand advancements.

In the present cultivation world, apart from enlisting outside aid—which might entangle them in karmic ties—loose cultivators hunt for innate cave heavens or blessed lands to furnish prime retreat fundamentals.

After all, though scarce, natural cave heavens and blessed lands do dot the broad expanses of Qingzhou.

Furthermore, standard treasured lands fail to satisfy Nascent Soul breakthrough basics and invite unpredictable interruptions.

Once interrupted, all efforts could crumble into ruin.

Thus, foundational conditions and ambient influences carry profound weight for those striving toward the Nascent Soul Realm.

Yet these encompass only the external elements.

Far more pivotal are the cultivators' personal qualifications.

Fundamentally, one demands a firm base, paired with the vital Nascent Soul spiritual treasure.

Besides, a measure of fortune remains essential to triumph in reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

Such core factors prove utterly irreplaceable in a cultivator's advancement.

This reveals the immense resources and efforts demanded from a cultivator merely to challenge the Nascent Soul Realm.

Were it otherwise, Qingzhou's lands would boast far beyond just five Nascent Soul sects and a mere dozen-plus Nascent Soul masters.

As an elder, Lin Shilu commits fully to Lin Tianming's breakthrough, explaining his lavish spending on preparations.

To his mind, even a minor boost to success odds renders the family's investment worthwhile.

Besides, the Lin Family bears no trace of its poor, waning state from a century prior.

Now, it stands as a grand clan approaching ten thousand members strong, overseeing over thirty Golden Core Stage experts, with several at the Great Perfection stage.

As for heritage, the Lin Family's spiritual estates and ventures in Jinfeng Nation, coupled with tributes from allied powers, generate twenty to thirty million low-grade Spirit Stones yearly.

That said, this tally reflects solely industrial gains, excluding proceeds from the Luoyun Commerce Alliance or treasures gathered by family members on their own.

Including those individual yields, the Lin Family's annual revenue in Jinfeng Nation readily surpasses fifty million low-grade Spirit Stones.

This embodies the Lin Family's present foundation.

In truth, regarding total power and deep heritage, the Lin Family matches or exceeds Qingzhou's elite Golden Core forces.

The foundations of most such top Golden Core powers simply align with the Lin Family's current caliber at best.

In this context, Lin Shilu views it as fully justified to deploy every resource and person for the Lin Family's foremost priority, one that charts its long-term path.

Thus, since Lin Tianming's return from the Ancient Demon Secret Realm and safe arrival at the Qingyun Mountain ancestral grounds, Lin Shilu has orchestrated arrangements for his seclusion and breakthrough.

Through over a month's enhancements, the spiritual energy density in the clan's innermost region now reaches impressive heights, rivaling the cores of Nascent Soul sects' strongholds.

Lin Tianming sensed this shift the instant he entered the depths of the clan territory.

This development left him deeply gratified and touched.

Steadying his thoughts, Lin Tianming settled into a cross-legged posture within a concealed chamber.

He then proceeded to regulate his energies and repose, elevating himself to peak readiness.

Half a day passed before Lin Tianming's eyes opened, his inner condition at its utmost.

Next, a light tap at his waist summoned six distinct defensive treasures into view.

Two among these protective items served as his personal defenses.

These pair, borne by Lin Tianming himself, surely rank as top-tier within their categories.

The other four stemmed from prizes won in years of intense clashes, where he overcame numerous Golden Core Stage adversaries.

In that lot were defensive artifacts claimed from Situ Jian, Holy Son of the Blood Red Alliance.

Moreover, he preserved the protective treasures of Zhao Yang, the Blood Red Alliance's chief guardian despite lacking a Golden Core.
