After resolving the crisis, the Lin Family restored order in Jinfeng Nation, accepting territory from the Liang Family as they sought shelter under the rising Nascent Soul force amid Blood Red Alliance threats. Cultivators debated the Liang's decisive alliance, with most viewing it as wise given the Lin Family's battle-proven strength and Lin Tianming's boundless potential. High-level clan members, including Lin Tianming, Lin Shilu, and others, gathered joyfully at the Qingyun Mountain Ancestral Land.

Among the Xing Generation clansmen were Lin Xingrong, Lin Xingping, and various other family members.

Right now, the clansmen engaged in relaxed conversations, making the atmosphere buzz with energy.

The Chang Generation juniors, including Lin Changge, Lin Changjin, and Lin Changqing, gathered closely, their faces beaming with thrill as they exchanged tales of their latest adventures.

This vibrant gathering persisted for an entire quarter-hour.

When Lin Shilu rose to his feet, the clansmen ceased their talks, directing all eyes toward this esteemed Lin Family elder.

Then, Lin Shilu began speaking first, detailing the Lin Family's key developments from recent years.

Lin Shilu's account allowed these external clansmen to grasp the Lin Family's myriad trials and triumphs over that period.

He covered the dangers encountered and major shifts inside the family, like breakthroughs to the Golden Core Stage by certain members, recounting them all anew.

Formal gatherings like this hadn't graced the Qingyun Mountain Lin Family Ancestral Land in ages.

The reason this one happened now was the Lin Family's massive transformation.

Above all, Lin Tianming's triumphant advance to the Nascent Soul Stage had crushed the dire menace of Song Chufeng, marking a revolutionary milestone for the whole Lin Family.

Now, with every Lin Family member united in effort, their century-old ambition stood fulfilled at last.

One could declare that the Lin Family had risen to prominence across Qingzhou, securing a solid foothold for good.

In such a pivotal moment, the Lin Family truly deserved a grand festivity.

Lin Shilu's briefing made the attending Lin Family members profoundly appreciate the trials of bygone years, recognizing how hard-won their progress had been.

Thus, the clansmen sensed that the current glory of the Lin Family came at great cost.

Truth be told, those years tested the Lin Family harshly; despite swift growth and general smoothness, endless perils loomed.

Thankfully, they surmounted each obstacle gradually, emerging with formidable power and vast potential for expansion.

As the Lin Family members reflected on those bygone events, emotions swelled within them, a stark reminder that the road forward remains arduous.

Sensing the heavy mood settling over the clansmen, Lin Shilu shifted topics smoothly.

"Everyone, Tianming has already broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, which is a blessing for our Lin Family and very good news."

"Nowadays, this news is almost known by everyone in the Cultivation World."

"Given this, I believe we should take the opportunity to hold a Nascent Soul Ceremony to announce the Lin Family's influence in the Qingzhou Cultivation World and expand further."

"After all, the breakthrough of Tianming can no longer be concealed."

"Therefore, it would be better to take this opportunity to hold a Nascent Soul Ceremony, to strengthen communication and cooperation with some major forces."

"If the timing and conditions are favorable, we might even be able to garner several allies to confront the Blood Red Alliance together."

Lin Shilu's words brimmed with enthusiasm, as if he had anticipated this moment for years.

He wasn't alone; the rest of the Lin Family felt the same fervor.

After all, a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage represented a colossal milestone for the Lin Family, carrying era-defining weight.

Naturally, the Lin Family yearned for the spectacle of throngs of guests filling their halls, bearing lavish gifts and showering them with acclaim.

The clansmen could already envision that magnificent display.

That's why Lin Shilu's proposal for the Nascent Soul Ceremony ignited wild excitement among everyone, their eagerness palpable.

No sooner had Lin Shilu finished than Lin Tianyun spoke up in agreement.

"Fifteenth Grandfather's suggestion echoes the desires of all Lin Family members. We naturally look forward to it and will do our utmost to make this event successful."

"Indeed..."

"We all have been waiting for this day, and it has finally come."

"Haha...I can't wait any longer..."

A wave of echoing approvals rose from the clansmen, prompting Lin Shilu to look toward Lin Tianming, awaiting his verdict.

Lin Tianming offered a faint smile just then.

Truthfully, the Nascent Soul Ceremony held little personal appeal for Lin Tianming, who scorned mere vanity.

Yet, for the family's benefit, staging it would amplify the Lin Family's prestige even more.

Besides, congratulatory delegations from powerful sects would arrive in force, their offerings far from ordinary.

This event would bolster the Lin Family's core resources and forge vital ties with other factions.

Lin Tianming had weighed these advantages too.

Deep down, he harbored no resistance to the Lin Family hosting the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

Thus, once Lin Shilu floated the idea, Lin Tianming mulled it over briefly before voicing his approval.

Lin Shilu lit up with joy at Lin Tianming's assent.

Next, Lin Shilu inquired of Lin Tianming regarding the ideal date for the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

Lin Tianming saw no need to hasten the ceremony's timing.

For starters, the Lin Family had barely weathered a major crisis and needed time to consolidate.

Currently, vigilance remained high, territory swaps with the Liang Family ongoing, and numerous spirit lands still recovering production.

During this delicate phase, hosting swarms of Qingzhou cultivators would prove unwise.

Only after finalizing the two-tenths territory handover from the Liang Family, normalizing operations there, and integrating the Yang Clan's domains fully could the Lin Family advance unhindered.

Moreover, the Blood Red Alliance posed a pressing worry.

The alliance had endured a devastating blow, with even their Nascent Soul Stage expert Song Chufeng slain at the Lin Family's mountain gates.

Learning this, the Blood Red Alliance could lash out at the Lin Family without delay.

Admittedly, the Lin Family's might might deter them into temporary dormancy.

But that pause didn't signal abandonment of vengeance; they lurked for the perfect strike to eradicate the Lin Family utterly.

Should that chance emerge, the Blood Red Alliance would unleash a torrent of fury.

Their history showed they never swallowed insults meekly.

Hence, pulling off the Nascent Soul Ceremony demanded accounting for threats like the Blood Red Alliance's looming danger.

Lin Tianming had pondered this deeply, discussing the Lin Family's affairs with Lin Shilu in detail.

In the end, Lin Tianming fixed the Nascent Soul Ceremony for exactly one year hence.

The venue would be the northwestern edge of Qingyun Mountain Clan Land, right by the Lin Family Mountain Protection Array.

Those peaks already featured courtyards near the Ancestral Land, perfect for housing guests and doubling as Lin Tianming's preaching venue.

Time and place settled, preparations could commence.

Lin Shilu planned to entrust Lin Xingrong with oversight; his constant travels acquainted him with countless cultivators, ideal for greeting envoys from top powers.

Lin Xingrong's unique position as Lin Tianming's birth father, coupled with his robust power in the family and savvy in dealings, lent him immense clout.

Hence, Lin Xingrong stood as the ideal pick to orchestrate the Nascent Soul Ceremony, blending prowess and prestige.
