Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate Chapter 2192: 1121: Fury

Right now, Lin Tianming unleashed his formidable divine sense, enveloping the vast majority of the Lin Family Clan Grounds.
Nothing escaped his perception within that divine sense's reach, aside from areas shielded by formation barriers.
The intense disturbance at the Mountain Protection Array was, of course, something he couldn't possibly overlook.
This realization caused Lin Tianming's countenance to turn stormy in an instant, with blazing fury surging uncontrollably in his gaze.
The very next instant, he shot into the air and raced outward.
Within moments, Lin Tianming materialized at the Sect Entrance Plaza in the clan grounds, hands clasped behind his back as he stood directly behind Lin Shi Lu.
Lin Shi Lu remained fixated on the scene outside, his face plainly showing deep concern.
Lin Tianming's unexpected arrival completely evaded Lin Shi Lu's notice.
All his focus was locked on Song Chufeng beyond the formation, and he never imagined Lin Tianming would emerge from seclusion during this dire moment.
As a result, Lin Shi Lu stayed utterly unaware of Lin Tianming's sudden presence.
Not just him—several other senior Lin Family figures were also gathered in the plaza, their attention glued to the invader outside, oblivious to Lin Tianming's approach.
Lin Xingyuan, rushing over from the inner clan grounds, was the first to catch sight of Lin Tianming's form.
Joy lit up Lin Xingyuan's features at first, quickly shifting to puzzlement, as if he struggled to accept Lin Tianming exiting seclusion right then.
Deep down, he truly found it unbelievable.
From his perspective, barely more than a year had elapsed since Lin Tianming endured the heavenly tribulation.
For Nascent Soul stage cultivators, the immediate priority after surviving the heavenly tribulation is always to solidify their cultivation realm.
Cultivation world rumors held that this process demanded considerable time—anywhere from one or two years at minimum, to over a decade in some cases.
Yet Lin Tianming had already achieved that stabilization in such a brief period.
At present, Lin Tianming's aura showed no outward leak.
A careful probe revealed him resembling an everyday mortal, profoundly subdued, as though he had attained the realm of returning to the natural state.
Nevertheless, the extraordinary vibe emanating from his bearing and eyes stood out even more strikingly.
This distinctive sensation had appeared in the past, though never with such clarity as now.
Drawing from these signs, Lin Xingyuan felt certain he wasn't wrong; Lin Tianming's cultivation realm was fully consolidated.
He had become a bona fide Nascent Soul stage powerhouse.
Grasping this truth, Lin Xingyuan at last accepted it fully.
Thus, overwhelming excitement gripped him in that instant.
He hurtled from afar toward Lin Shi Lu and Lin Tianming, his voice ringing out in exhilaration.
“Tianming… you’ve come out of seclusion…”
That shout finally jolted the assembled clan members into awareness, their gazes snapping toward Lin Tianming.
Lin Shi Lu whirled around too, discovering Lin Tianming had quietly positioned himself at his rear, with no idea how long he had lingered there unnoticed.
Should it have been a foe instead, Lin Shi Lu shuddered to think—he'd have perished repeatedly by now.
But it was exactly this that made everything click for Lin Shi Lu upon beholding Lin Tianming.
Sure enough, Lin Tianming had solidified his cultivation realm, his power now at its zenith.
This epiphany filled Lin Shi Lu with elation, prompting a heavy sigh of relief he couldn't suppress.
Suddenly, a radiant, deeply contented smile spread across Lin Shi Lu's face.
Not only him—the entire group of Lin Family members present shared the same reaction.
Excitement exploded among all the clan members, their strung-out nerves at last able to unwind.
Lin Shi Lu cast a quiet glance at Lin Tianming, then scolded him with mock severity.
“You brat, emerging from seclusion without a word to this old man, and bold enough to lurk behind me for so long.”
“Do you figure the old man can't thrash you anymore, so no worry about getting punished?”
Even after the rebuke, Lin Shi Lu's face bore a grin, his spirits visibly high.
Then, turning solemn, Lin Shi Lu inquired: “Tianming, has your cultivation realm been fully consolidated?”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded affirmatively: “Fifteenth Grandfather, your grandson has consolidated the cultivation realm and is now at peak strength.”
“But these days have burdened you greatly, sir.”
These words instantly brought tears to Lin Shi Lu's eyes, stirring profound emotion within him.
All along, to buy Lin Tianming extra time in seclusion, he had stationed himself almost constantly at the sect entrance plaza, grabbing scant moments of rest.
He acted out of dread that Song Chufeng might shatter the Mountain Protection Array, plunging the Lin Family into disaster.
Even more critically, he worried that their precious Nascent Soul stage cultivator—earned through great hardship—would be forced into a desperate battle before fully consolidating his realm, in his most vulnerable condition.
Should that dire situation arise, no matter how heaven-defying Lin Tianming's talent, downfall remained a real peril.
To avert such a catastrophe, Lin Shi Lu pushed past fatigue and ignored the staggering resource drain on the Mountain Protection Array.
To him, the Lin Family's utmost priority was ensuring Lin Tianming safely navigated this vital transitional phase.
