Chapter 163 – 136: Minor Achievent in Divine Skills_1
Behind Green Bamboo Peak.
In a quiet valley, Lin Tianming sat cross-legged on the ground. Above his head, the Earth Evil Sword emitted a piercing whine before shooting out like lightning, striking the rocky wall.
“Boom…”
At that mont, a loud explosion was heard, and the ground began to shake.
A stone mountain several hundred feet high directly collapsed over a large area, and nurous rocks tumbled down, eventually coalescing to form a new small hill.
After the shaking had stopped and the dust had cleared, Lin Tianming’s figure was revealed.
At this mont, he was drenched in sweat, his complexion slightly pale, evidently greatly exhausted.
For the past month, he had dedicated his days to rigorous practice, sitting in ditation to recover his spiritual power only after it was completely drained, repeatedly attempting, after over a thousand castings, each ti pushed to the point of exhaustion before stopping.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off. The Tiangang Ninth Sword, a divine skill, was finally within his grasp, and he had reached the Minor Achievent Realm.
His casting speed had now attained instantaneity, and the power had further increased, enough to handle ordinary battles.
Having reached the Minor Achievent Realm with practice alone, any further progress had beco difficult; to attain the Great Achievent Realm, he needed to go through nurous real combats to advance further.
Managing to reach the Minor Achievent Realm with a month of hard work was already quite remarkable, and for this result, he was very satisfied.
His goal had been achieved, and the Purple Gold Eagle had ingested another Dragon Horned Lizard Demon Core and was still in deep slumber.
Three days prior, Lin Shihua had sent a ssage, instructing him to head to Lin Shikang’s cave dwelling for a gathering the next day, so it was ti to leave.
He rose and tidied up the disheveled scene, glanced at the cave of the Purple Gold Eagle, and then left the valley.
The next morning, Lin Tianming left his own small courtyard, accompanied by his father as they flew toward the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain.
In no ti at all, the two arrived in front of Lin Shikang’s cave dwelling.
After sending a ssage, the prohibition in front of the cave dwelling was lifted, and both of them walked straight in.
In the courtyard, Lin Shikang and Lin Shigong, among a few other Xing Clan mbers, were sitting on stone chairs, drinking tea and chatting leisurely.
Lin Tianming and his father walked straight up to the elders and bowed.
“Tianming pays respect to the elders!”
“No need for such formalities, co and sit with us!”
Lin Shikang chuckled and waved them over to sit down.
Lin Tianming and his father did not decline, stepping forward to sit by their grandfather’s side, one on the left and one on the right.
It didn’t take long for Lin Xingping to enter the courtyard, exchanging greetings with other clan mbers present before taking a seat next to Lin Tianming.
Lin Tianming had co out of seclusion half a month earlier than him and went straight to cultivate divine skills, without having had the chance to congratulate him; now that they had t, the two chatted briefly.
Lin Shikang, seeing everyone had gathered, said with a smile:
“Today is truly rare; aside from Xing Yuan holding down Luoyun Market, all seven Foundation Establishnt cultivators of our family are gathered here, plus Xingping and Tianming successfully reaching Foundation Establishnt, our family has gained two more Foundation Establishnt mbers, truly a cause for celebration!”
Upon finishing, Lin Shihua also added with a sense of marvel.
“Third brother is right. They both have been out of seclusion for half a month, each busy with their own tasks, and only today have we all managed to get together; this indeed isn’t easy.”
The others nodded and echoed a few words, after which Lin Shikang spoke about the matter at hand.
“I’ve asked you all to co today for several purposes. First, to strengthen our bonds and celebrate Tian Ming and Xing Ping’s successful Foundation Establishnt. Second, Shi Lu has returned from Qianchuan Market, having completed the Lin Family task perfectly and brought back two Hun Tian Pills. With a Hun Tian Pill, I can finally make further progress without accidents!”
After Lin Shikang finished speaking, everyone was overjoyed.
It should be noted that Lin Shikang was at the Foundation Establishnt Eighth Level Realm during the family war six years ago. Now, in the late stage of Foundation Establishnt, each step forward is difficult. Having finally obtained a Hun Tian Pill, it was natural for him to seek a breakthrough as soon as possible.
In the midst of laughter, Lin Shihua spoke,
“Third brother, rest assured and focus on your breakthrough. Now that our family is growing stronger each day, we few can manage the clan affairs, and you can concentrate on your cultivation!”
Tian Ming and the others also spoke up, encouraging Lin Shikang to focus on his seclusion.
In the current state of Luoyun Mountain, the Lin Family is incomparable, its formidable strength leaving other clans in the dust. Unless faced with the threat of external forces, there would be no danger.
“Hmm…”
Lin Shikang smiled knowingly and gave his instructions,
“Then, it’s settled. I cannot be certain how long this seclusion will take, short as three months, long up to a year. As for the clan’s affairs, you all can discuss and handle them. If there is a major decision that can’t be made, then pass the ssage to !”
“Yes…”
After the unanimous response, they began to discuss so of the clan affairs.
The gathering lasted for over an hour, only dispersing around noon.
When it was ti to leave, Lin Shihua called Lin Shikang, his father, and Lin Xingping aside,
“Xing Rong, the three of you have established your Foundation, so you may choose a cave dwelling at the peak of the main mountain. Since you’ve been in charge of the affairs at Golden Horn Mountain and haven’t had the chance to choose, now that you’re back, why not settle on a dwelling before you leave? What do you think?”
Lin Shihua’s words excited them.
The spiritual energy of the peak was far stronger than that of the mid-mountain courtyards. Though the difference might not be noticeable over a short period of cultivation, over a prolonged seclusion, the improvent in cultivation speed could be significant.
Lin Xingrong spoke, “The younger generation has no objections, we will follow the Clan Leader’s arrangents!”
Naturally, Tian Ming and the others had no objections, and since many of them were at the peak, Lin Shihua decided to select the cave dwellings imdiately.
After leaving Lin Shikang’s courtyard, Lin Shihua led the three of them around the entire peak.
Along the way, Lin Shihua also described the situation of so vacant courtyards to them.
In reality, the layout of the peak’s courtyards was divided into four areas: east, south, west, and north, and they were not too far apart from each other. The few of them had long had an idea of what to expect.
As the number of Foundation Establishnt Cultivators grew, the original dozen or so courtyards gradually beca occupied by new clan mbers, leaving not many choices for them to select from.
After half an hour, Tian Ming and the others each chose a cave dwelling.
Lin Xingrong and Lin Xingping chose to be on the east side of the courtyards, where Lin Xingyuan’s dwelling was. This way, the Xing Clan mbers would be together.
In the north, where there are several courtyards, only one was still vacant, and all four Foundation Establishnt Clan mbers of the Lin family gathered there.
Tian Ming naturally would not choose the north side. It also wouldn’t be quite right to join the senior mbers of the Xing lineage on the east.
After so thought, he decided to choose a courtyard on the west side for his dwelling.
As for the western area, besides him, no other clan mbers lived there.
It was perfect, as he preferred a quiet environnt. Additionally, the west side offered beautiful scenery near the mountains and was closer to the small valley where he cultivated his Divine Skills—truly an ideal location.
After greeting Lin Shihua and securing the courtyard by completing the registration process, Tian Ming and the others received the Formation Token for the courtyard’s protective formation. With the selection of the courtyard concluded, Tian Ming and the others took their leave.
