Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

After finally calming down a bit, he burst into hearty laughter, as if driven to madness.

"Haha... good lad, I just knew it, our Hidden Dragon from the Lin Family will shine brilliantly wherever he is!"

Seeing Lin Shikang's appearance, Lin Shihua couldn't help but be influenced, and what's more, when he received the accurate news, his own expression was not in the least bit worse than Lin Shikang's.

At this time, he too laughed out loud, and the two of them continued laughing for a long time before returning to normal.

As they calmed down, Lin Shihua then shifted the topic, inquiring about Ye Pinghai's breakthrough.

Speaking of which, it had been two years since Ye Pinghai entered the valley to adjust his state.

During this period, they paid close attention, and some even guarded the place day and night.

But even so, including Lin Shikang, they knew nothing about the progress of Ye Pinghai's Golden Core breakthrough.

The Threefold Golden Elixir Thunder Tribulation showed no signs of happening, and it was very calm within the clan territory, with no signs of a breakthrough nor of failure.

However, it wasn't without changes.

At the very least, the Spiritual Energy converging in the Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory became increasingly dense, reaching an abnormally intense state.

At this moment, after much consideration, Lin Shikang, recalling many insights left behind by the ancestors, also had some speculations.

Regaining his focus, he then began to voice his thoughts.

"Shihua, Daoist Ye has been in seclusion for more than two years now, and the Spiritual Energy in this area has reached its pinnacle."

"From my estimation, whether Daoist Ye succeeds or not, there will definitely be some clear movements within a short time span of ten days to a half month, or at most within a year."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shihua nodded.

Taking into account the rumors in the Cultivation World and the insights left by the ancestors, indeed, whether Ye Pinghai succeeds or not, there should be some movements by this point in time.

Regaining his composure, Lin Shihua said with a light smile:

"Third brother, we are at a critical juncture now. I'll leave this place in your hands; I will go take care of clan affairs."

"Hmm..."

"You've taken good care of the family affairs, if there's any major news, especially regarding Tian Ming, inform me immediately!"

"Go!"

Lin Shikang nodded, giving a serious and earnest instruction, his demeanor extremely serious.

"Third brother, rest assured, I understand the priorities!"

Lin Shihua responded, then cupped his hands in salute and left the valley without looking back.

...

In Yuyao City.

Inside Lin Tianming's cave dwelling, he sat cross-legged with his hands forming seals, clearly engaged in deep cultivation.

Time flew by; it had been over a year since the beast tides erupted in the Wei Kingdom.

And it had been nearly a year since he came to Yuyao City to take part in the great battle.

As the war continued, he had experienced several major battles, appearing in every one of them.

The latest major battle between both sides had ended just a few days ago.

As expected, after several battles, the overall strength of the Demon Beast Army had further weakened, and the Human Cultivators had firmly gained the upper hand.

Furthermore, after the great battle that ended two days prior, the attacking force of the Demon Beast Army seemed extremely fatigued, nearly collapsing.

If the combat endurance of the Human Cultivators had been sufficient, Chen Jingtian even contemplated unleashing the full force in a decisive battle to end the war.

However, the cautious Chen Jingtian did not act rashly; he further suppressed the restlessness in his heart, stopping the frenzied cultivator army.

In his mind, he planned to wait until there was a near certainty before launching a final decisive battle, to crush this group of demonic beasts thoroughly, and even leave most of their lives behind.

In such a situation, although the army of cultivators was as mighty as a rainbow, they dared not defy Chen Jingtian's command.

```

After all, Chen Jingtian's strength as a Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator had been fierce in this year of resisting the Demonic Beasts, and his reputation had long been established.

Therefore, even if the army of cultivators had any objections, they had no choice but to retreat to Yuyao City to rest and recuperate before making any further plans.

Of course, Lin Tianming wouldn't dare offend a Golden Core Cultivator, so he obediently took Qin Xi and returned to Yuyao City as well.

In the practice room.

After resting for two days and feeling his condition return to its peak, Lin Tianming let out a slight sigh and immediately fell into deep thought.

At present, the combat power of the Demon Beast Army had sharply declined, and if nothing unexpected happened, perhaps after one or two more battles, the human cultivators would be able to annihilate them.

During this past year, he had experienced numerous skirmishes, and his points on the Demon Hunter Leaderboard had steadily increased.

Up to now, not counting the large battle from two days ago, he had accumulated 1,850 points, ranking twelfth overall, surpassing both Yang Tongshun and Hu Yuan, and was only twenty points behind Deng Guanghua, who was in the previous position.

Although this result was slightly below his expectations, it was not unacceptable.

As the great battle continued, the surviving Demonic Beasts grew stronger through the baptism of prolonged combat.

As a result, it became significantly more difficult for cultivators to earn points.

Thus, earning 300 points from one tough battle in the later stages of the war was considered quite an achievement for Lin Tianming.

If luck was not on their side and they encountered a Demon Beast Tribe that was too strong, they might not even secure 200 points.

Under such circumstances, having participated in seven large battles and totaling 1,850 points, thus advancing two places forward, was indeed noteworthy.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianming decided not to dwell on his achievements and leaderboard points.

"The Demon Hunter Leaderboard is updated today; I should go check the specifics before making any plans!"

Lin Tianming murmured to himself, then stood up, tidied up the practice room, and left the cave dwelling headed towards the Zhenyang Hall.

...

Before long, Lin Tianming arrived at the familiar square.

At this time, the square was bustling with noise as a large number of cultivators gathered, discussing the various feats of the genius cultivators listed on the Demon Hunter Leaderboard.

From a distance, Lin Tianming could clearly hear a few men discussing amongst themselves with great admiration in their tone and expression.

"Daoist Long Qingshui truly deserves to be a True Disciple of Chen; his points lead the way by a large margin, leaving the second and third places far behind!"

"That goes without saying... Daoist Long is a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection level."

"Indeed... both Daoist Long's cultivation strength and magic artifacts, as well as his combat experience, are among the strongest in his class. To achieve such results is completely within expectations."

...

Elsewhere, a few other cultivators were discussing something different, their topic revolving around Loose Cultivators and family cultivators instead of Zhenyang Sect disciples.

Soon, their topic attracted the attention of many cultivators, drawing a large crowd and making the scene even livelier.

Lin Tianming became interested, and he blended into the crowd while waiting for the Zhenyang Sect cultivators to update the Demon Hunter Leaderboard.

At that moment, a Foundation Building Fourth Level cultivator looked at the crowd and then spoke to his companion, "It looks like the Demon Beast Army won't last much longer, which means the great battle is nearing its end. What do you all think about how our family cultivators and Loose Cultivators will fare in competing for the Demon Hunter Leaderboard?"

This topic indeed sparked a lively debate among many cultivators.

After all, it was expected for Zhenyang Sect cultivators to occupy the top spots; for Loose Cultivators and family cultivators to climb to the high ranks was quite challenging.

Under these circumstances, these cultivators spoke their minds freely, without the caution shown when discussing Zhenyang Sect cultivators.

In the midst of the boisterous atmosphere, an excited cultivator suddenly spoke up, "Speaking of which, Daoist Zheng Xiao is truly a role model for our peers. As a mere Loose Cultivator, it's incredible that he could rank seventh among thousands of peers!"

No sooner had these words been uttered when another cultivator seemed to recall something and, with a look of envy, said, "Daoist Deng and Daoist Lin are no less formidable.

"In particular, Daoist Lin, so young yet so powerful, given another twenty or so years of cultivation, he might even surpass Daoist Long Qingshui!"

These words immediately ignited a flurry of comments from the many cultivators, making the noisy scene even more enthusiastic.
