Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate Chapter 2169: 1109: Heavenly Tribulation Approaches (Part 2)

According to the records compiled by Lin Xingyuan, the vast majority of Foundation Establishment Cultivators have managed to advance through one or two minor realms in their cultivation journey.

While this progress might appear modest at first glance, the cumulative effect represents a significant boost to the Lin Family’s overall combat prowess.

For Lin Shilu, this level of development has fully met his expectations.

Upon receiving this report, Lin Shilu promptly directed Lin Xingyuan to maintain their current momentum, expressing his hope that the clan members could push even further in the coming years.

Regarding the external situation, Lin Shilu stressed repeatedly that the family must exercise extreme caution.

Maintaining absolute vigilance is vital at this juncture to ensure that the process of Lin Tianming’s breakthrough remains undisturbed.

With these internal affairs settled, Lin Shilu pushed aside all stray thoughts and resumed his vigil atop the mountain peak, serving as the guardian for Lin Tianming’s breakthrough.

Throughout this period, he would periodically halt his own cultivation to monitor the status of Lin Tianming’s secluded chamber.

Yet, for several years, the area remained deathly silent, showing no signs of activity whatsoever.

Nevertheless, the density of the Qi within the inner reaches of the clan territory continued to climb, reaching levels that Lin Shilu had never witnessed in his entire life.

Even the conditions found within various Secret Realms could hardly compare to the sheer concentration of Qi gathered in the heart of the clan’s grounds.

This serves as a testament to the immense effectiveness of the investments the Lin Family has made over these years.

Attaining such results required a massive reservoir of Spirit Stones to serve as the foundation.

It is worth noting that to achieve this level of Qi density, the Lin Family has expended more than a billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones over the past few years.

Such an astronomical sum is far beyond the reach of ordinary Golden Elixir forces, making it impossible for them to ever replicate this feat.

The Lin Family, however, chose to exhaust resources that had been meticulously gathered over dozens of years in one single endeavor.

By leveraging these formidable resources, they ensured the ambient Qi in the vicinity of the seclusion chamber achieved this peak density.

Feeling the current concentration of Qi, Lin Shilu felt deeply satisfied, his confidence in a successful Nascent Soul breakthrough for Lin Tianming growing stronger by the day.

Nearly three years have slipped by since Lin Tianming began his secluded training.

At this moment, Lin Shilu opened his eyes once more, peering toward the distant cave mansion with a look of visible concern etched upon his face.

“It has been three years without me even realizing it!”

“I wonder how everything is faring for Tianming…”

Lin Shilu muttered to himself before letting out a weary sigh.

Just then, following his gaze, the vast sea of Qi deep within the clan territory began to swirl violently.

The previously dense Qi started converging rapidly, with Lin Tianming’s cave mansion serving as the nexus point, as a massive torrent of energy poured out from within the chamber.

In the blink of an eye, this sudden shift in the Qi formed a colossal tornado, standing vertical against the sky.

Seeing this, Lin Shilu was overcome with joy.

He understood clearly that this long-awaited disturbance meant Lin Tianming had successfully completed the transformation from Breaking Core into Infant and had safely navigated the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Currently, the subject must be undergoing the process of having his body infused with Qi, effectively consolidating the Nascent Soul.

Only at this precise stage would the Qi between heaven and earth gather in such a manner.

Based on the rate at which Lin Tianming was devouring the Qi, the process seemed to be unfolding seamlessly.

For this reason, Lin Shilu felt immense satisfaction.

In his estimation, having reached this milestone, the arduous task of impacting the Nascent Soul Realm was already more than half accomplished.

What remained was the infusion of Qi into the physical vessel, which would inevitably attract the Sixfold Thunder Tribulation.

Once the trials of the Sixfold Thunder Tribulation were conquered, Lin Tianming would stand as a true cultivator of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Typically, this stage follows in rapid succession.

Realizing this truth, Lin Shilu felt a surge of eager impatience, waiting intently for the arrival of the Sixfold Thunder Tribulation.

By this time, the volatile changes in the Qi deep within the clan domain had caused quite a commotion.

Although the rank-and-file members were forbidden from entering the inner sanctum, many felt the tremors from a distance.

After all, a massive tornado of Qi is impossible to miss.

Observing the declining density of the spiritual atmosphere, the disciples began to grasp the significance of the event.

Consequently, many gathered along the periphery, watching the gathering storm in anticipation.

Groups of clan members stood together, every single one of them discussing the strange phenomenon with great excitement.

Time drifted on slowly.

Before long, half a day had vanished.

At this juncture, thanks to Lin Tianming’s voracious absorption, the concentration of Qi in the depths of the domain had plummeted by more than half.

The intensity of the phenomenon finally began to taper off significantly.

Although energy was still flowing into the cave, the rate of consumption had noticeably slowed down.

At this current pace, it would not be long before this phase was finished entirely.

Once that occurred, the Sixfold Thunder Tribulation would descend upon the peak.

As expected by many, just as the rate of consumption began to wane, the clear heavens suddenly turned dark and ominous.

Simultaneously, the expansive area around the clan center was whipped by gale-force winds and a storm of churning sand and debris.

Within mere moments, the sky had plummeted into darkness.

Lin Shilu watched the distant horizon with an expression brimming with emotion.

Regaining his composure, Lin Shilu leaped back ten miles in a single swift motion.

After stabilizing himself, he turned toward the gathered clan members and hollered at the top of his lungs.

“All Lin Family members, take heed! Fall back twenty miles immediately.”

“Furthermore, from this moment forth, no one is permitted to cross this boundary; those who violate this order will be punished by the full weight of family law…”

Having delivered his decree, Lin Shilu turned back around, his eyes locked firmly on the direction of Lin Tianming’s seclusion.

Behind him, the clan members obeyed his orders without hesitation, scrambling to withdraw into the designated safe zone.

Even though they had never personally witnessed a Nascent Soul Stage Sixfold Thunder Tribulation, most of the members recalled how horrific the Threefold Lightning Tribulation of the Golden Core Stage had been.

Yet now, Lin Tianming was facing a Sixfold Thunder Tribulation.

The destructive potential of such a tribulation was undoubtedly apocalyptic.

The Golden Core Stage clansmen might survive if they kept their distance, relying on their internal strength, but for those at the Foundation Establishment level, even a stray spark from the Sixfold Thunder Tribulation could cost them their lives.

Understanding this clearly, the observers followed Lin Shilu’s instructions to the letter, retreating twenty miles as commanded.

Reaching a relatively secure location, they reformed their ranks, each waiting with bated breath for something to happen at the site of the seclusion.

Moments later, the sound of rolling thunder began to echo across the heavens, while bolts of lightning danced within the blackened clouds.

“Boom…”

The deafening sound of an explosion rang out as countless dark clouds gathered, merging into one massive thunderhead hovering directly above Lin Tianming’s cave.

It was clear that these massing clouds were rapidly fermenting a terrifying amount of lightning energy.

At this rate, once the energy density hits its peak, the First Layer of Thunder Tribulation will strike.

By then, there would be nowhere for Lin Tianming to run; he would be forced to meet the lightning head-on.

Regardless of whether he desired to face such immense power, he would have no choice but to confront it when it finally descended upon him.

It had become a battle of life and death, entirely in Lin Tianming’s hands.

Should he succeed in weathering the storm, he would step into the ranks of the Nascent Soul Realm.

If he failed to survive the Sixfold Thunder Tribulation, his journey would simply come to a permanent end.
