Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate Chapter 2235 1142: Successful Cultivation (Part 2)

In truth, if fortune favored him or if the opponent grew too complacent, it wasn't beyond the realm of possibility for him to directly eliminate a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Upon grasping this, Lin Tianming found himself content with the might of the Heavenly Sword Qi and the fruit of his year and a half of dedicated effort.

After a brief period of regaining his composure, Lin Tianming's state of mind gradually settled back to normal.

At this juncture, he was contemplating whether it would be more beneficial to continue his cultivation of the Sun and Moon Light Shadow divine skill or to emerge from his seclusion to ascertain the family's current circumstances.

Should there be no significant developments in Qingzhou and no major internal shifts within the clan, he could opt to seek out a tranquil locale to put the potency of the Heavenly Sword Qi to the test.

After all, merely catalyzing the Qi of the Heavenly Sword is merely the introductory phase toward complete mastery of this formidable technique.

To truly unlock the zenith of this mystical technique's power, persistent practice and profound comprehension are indispensable for accumulating the requisite experience.

Only upon ascending to the Minor Achievement Realm could one be considered to have even breached the preliminary stages.

Attaining the Great Achievement Realm would signify reaching the absolute apex.

Achieving such a monumental feat necessitates countless real-world combat scenarios and meticulous strategic planning, coupled with unending introspection and understanding, in order to possibly reach the Great Achievement Realm.

Consequently, though he has, in essence, subdued the divine skill at this present moment,

to marshal its complete capabilities, a considerable duration of diligent accumulation remains essential.

This very reason was the source of Lin Tianming's slight indecision regarding whether to persist with cultivating another divine skill or to break his seclusion and assess the prevailing conditions.

If no critical events have transpired, he could then entertain the notion of further refining the cultivation of the Heavenly Sword Qi.

Should he succeed in advancing the Heavenly Sword Qi to the Minor Achievement Realm prior to the advent of further calamities, his offensive capabilities would experience another substantial surge.

At that point, even when confronting a formidable expert in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, he would possess the wherewithal to contend effectively.

With this understanding firmly in place, Lin Tianming considered the lingering menace posed by the Blood Red Alliance. After a brief spell of contemplation, he resolved to terminate his seclusion temporarily and investigate the current situation.

According to his strategic assessment, the Lin Family continued to face the latent threat emanating from the Blood Red Alliance.

Under these circumstances, it was deemed inadvisable for him to remain immersed in protracted secluded cultivation.

Furthermore, over the preceding decades, the Lin Family had been striving toward a paramount objective demanding swift completion: successfully nurturing a second clan member to ascend to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Only with the emergence of a second cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage would the family's precarious situation be definitively stabilized.

Presently, a number of individuals within the Lin Family were poised to undertake the formidable challenge of breaching the Nascent Soul Stage.

Now, several years had elapsed since their return from the Ancient Demon Secret Realm.

With the steady accumulation of resources and experience over these intervening years, Lin Tianyun had likely forged adequate preparations.

Given Lin Tianyun's extraordinary innate talent, he had already attained the Golden Core Great Perfection Realm considerably earlier, during the period when Lin Tianming himself was striving for the Nascent Soul Stage.

And it had been close to several years since Lin Tianming had successfully entered the Nascent Soul Stage.

Throughout this extended interval, Lin Tianyun had not remained idle.

Apart from a singular necessary excursion for the Lin Family's Nascent Soul Ceremony, Lin Tianyun had dedicated the entirety of his remaining time to intensive secluded cultivation.

Through the diligent accumulation achieved over these past years, his foundational strength was exceptionally robust, with virtually all prerequisite conditions having been meticulously met.

Considering his exceptional talent and promising potential, provided he was sufficiently prepared and received the boon of a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item, a substantial probability existed for him to seamlessly advance to the Nascent Soul Stage.

At the very least, in Lin Tianming's considered estimation, Lin Tianyun's prospects for success were unlikely to fall below the fifty percent threshold.

However, when embarking on the perilous journey of attempting to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, regardless of one's inherent talent or the completeness of one's preparations, absolute certainty remains an elusive phantom.

Nevertheless, when contrasted with the average cultivator, possessing a probability exceeding fifty percent is a truly uncommon occurrence.

Given that Lin Tianyun had dedicated such a prolonged period to steadfast accumulation, the opportune moment had undoubtedly arrived for him to take that pivotal, world-altering stride.

And this only pertains to Lin Tianyun's individual circumstances.

Regarding the broader family, substantial efforts had likely been invested over the past few years in meticulous preparations for Lin Tianyun's impending ascension to the Nascent Soul Stage.

At the very least, Lin Shilu had remained virtually unseen for the majority of these past few years, most probably engaged in intense secluded refinement.

And Lin Shilu's dedicated endeavors were unequivocally directed toward facilitating Lin Tianyun's advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage.

From this strategic viewpoint, it is highly probable that Lin Shilu had painstakingly forged several potent defensive treasures throughout these years.

In addition, the Lin Family had been vigorously amassing a diverse array of resources and precious items during the last few years, serving as the final crucial accumulation phase in anticipation of Lin Tianyun's critical attempt at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Years have now transpired, and the Lin Family, having dedicated substantial effort and energy, must surely have achieved tangible results. Consequently, with sufficient preparations made by Lin Tianyun, the Lin Family can soon advance this crucial matter. Under these circumstances, Lin Tianming finally finds himself with a moments respite, and he wishes to ascertain the Lin Family's readiness and Lin Tianyun's subsequent strategies. Should Lin Tianyun intend to enter seclusion soon to attempt the Nascent Soul Stage, Lin Tianming anticipates dedicating a significant portion of his time to acting as his protector for the duration of this endeavor.

With these thoughts occupying his mind, Lin Tianming contemplated for a period before resolving to emerge from his seclusion to assess the current situation. If Lin Tianyun were indeed preparing to attempt the Nascent Soul Stage, Lin Tianming would continue his refinement of the Heavenly Sword Qi while fulfilling his role as protector. During this intervening period, he would endeavor to elevate this mystical technique to the Minor Achievement Realm. Attaining this objective would instill him with a measure of confidence to contend even with the Great Elder of the Blood Red Alliance, should the latter choose to appear personally.

Having reached this understanding, Lin Tianming finalized his decision. Thus, without further ado, Lin Tianming opened his mouth and drew in a deep breath, drawing all the dispersed sword Qi within the cultivation chamber into his Dantian. Subsequently, Lin Tianming rose to his feet and made his way towards the exit.

A short while later, Lin Tianming presented himself at one of the cave mansions situated atop Qingyun Mountain. This particular cave mansion was none other than the abode of Lin Tianyun. Upon being informed of Lin Tianming's emergence from seclusion, Lin Tianyun promptly exited his own cultivation room to offer a welcoming reception. After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Tianming and Lin Tianyun settled into a small courtyard, where they engaged in leisurely conversation over cups of tea.

At this juncture, Lin Tianming took a sip of his tea before initiating the conversation with a direct inquiry: "Tianyun, how have your preparations for the Nascent Soul Stage been progressing?"

Responding to Lin Tianming's question, Lin Tianyun adjusted his demeanor and replied, "Sixth Brother, I believe my current cultivation realm has reached its utmost stability." "At this juncture, I am prepared to enter seclusion and attempt the Nascent Soul Stage at any opportune moment." "However, Fifteenth Grandfather had previously instructed me to await his own emergence from seclusion before embarking on this critical attempt." "It appears that Fifteenth Grandfather has been in seclusion throughout these years, undoubtedly dedicating his efforts to refining defensive treasures for my benefit."

As he conveyed this, Lin Tianyun's expression shifted to one of gratitude, projecting an aura of profound sincerity. Hearing Lin Tianyun's explanation, Lin Tianming offered a nod of affirmation. "Tianyun, your assessment is accurate!" "Fifteenth Grandfather has indeed poured his utmost into supporting us juniors over these years." "And his counsel for you to wait is indeed wise."

At this point, Lin Tianming's expression turned noticeably more serious. He then solemnly cautioned, "Tianyun, the endeavor of attempting the Nascent Soul Stage is inherently fraught with immense difficulty, and the perils involved are surely within your comprehension, even without my explicit elaboration." "Therefore, we must ensure we are absolutely prepared before taking that significant step." "Especially now, with the Lin Family united and the clan flourishing in prosperity."

"With me personally guarding the Lin Family at this time, even if the Blood Red Alliance were to launch another assault, even if Old Ghost Chen himself were to arrive, they would be incapable of destabilizing our foundations." "It can be confidently stated that the Lin Family faces no existential threat, thus negating any imperative for you or others to rush the attempt at the Nascent Soul Stage."

"At the very least, we must be fully equipped, possess unwavering confidence, and attain absolute assurance before undertaking that pivotal step." "After all, we have already endured years of waiting, so what is the significance of a few additional months or a year?"

Lin Tianming imparted these words with heartfelt sincerity, his gaze reflecting a distinctive luminescence, as though reliving the diverse dangers and formidable challenges he himself had encountered during his own attempt at the Nascent Soul Stage in the past.
