Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1221 - 636: Leaving the Pass _2

Acutely aware of this, Lin Tianming adjusted his mentality and immediately tidied up the Cultivation Room.

Afterwards, he left the Cultivation Room and appeared in the courtyard.

Not long after, Lin Tianhu and Lin Tianfeng, having received the message, also arrived in the courtyard.

The moment they saw Lin Tianming, Lin Tianfeng’s excited laughter could be heard from a distance away.

"Tianming, how were the results of this closed-door cultivation?"

No sooner had the question been asked than Lin Tianhu also spoke with concern.

"Sixth Brother, I feel your aura has become more restrained. Could it be that you’ve made a breakthrough to the Late Stage Golden Core in this retreat?"

Hearing this barrage of questions, Lin Tianming chuckled and then joked, "Big Brother, Tianhu seems to have stronger perception than you!"

Hearing this, Lin Tianfeng was not the slightest bit concerned; instead, he was ecstatic.

Because from Lin Tianming’s words, even though he didn’t directly admit to the breakthrough to Late Stage Golden Core, the implication was quite clear.

Therefore, with Lin Tianming’s previous strength, after breaking through to the realm of Late Stage Golden Core, his strength would surely double.

According to their estimation, if Lin Tianming were to take action with all his strength now, it would be difficult for an ordinary Late Stage Golden Core expert to last a few rounds against him.

Even for some veteran Late Stage Golden Core strongmen to battle Lin Tianming, it was estimated that they wouldn’t necessarily gain any advantage.

In this situation, with Lin Tianming’s newfound strength, it was crucial for any Lin Family member.

It’s always nice to have shade under a large tree!

The stronger Lin Tianming is, the more confidence the Lin Family Members have, having a powerful backing no matter what they do.

It’s like Lin Tianhu and the others on the battlefield at Liang Family Territory, regardless of whether Lin Tianming fights or not, they all have a support to lean on, which in turn affects their strength to a certain degree.

Thinking of these things, Lin Tianhu and the others were all brimming with excitement, their faces constantly alight with a thick smile.

At this time, Lin Tianming glanced at Lin Tianhu and the others, and then asked a question.

"Big Brother, Tianhu, how have things been for you in this half a year?"

"And what about the situation of the Liang Family?"

Upon hearing the inquiry, Lin Tianhu’s expression became much more somber, with a hint of pallor on his face.

"Sixth Brother, during these six months, Big Brother and I have participated in two major battles, all outside the Liang Family Territory."

"For this, the Liang Family mobilized more than a dozen Golden Core Stage cultivators, while the Yang Clan also had eight Golden Core Stage Qi cultivators to support them."

"Apart from these two local forces, the Liang Family also gathered some Golden Core Stage Independent Cultivators to join us in the battle against the enemy."

"As for the Yuanchen Sect and several other forces, they similarly deployed an army of over thirty people."

Hearing Lin Tianhu’s words, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but frown.

He really hadn’t expected the Liang Family to muster such a large contingent, gathering allies as well as Independent Cultivators to clash head-on with the Yuanchen Sect and several other forces twice.

Bear in mind, before this, the Liang Family mainly relied on the power of their Mountain Protection Array to hold their ground and await aid, and few large-scale battles had taken place.

But now, the Liang Family mobilizing such a massive force to take the offensive was quite unexpected.

However, after a bit of thought, Lin Tianming understood that the Liang Family had previously been biding their time to preserve strength and build up power for this period.

The reason for their offensive now, aside from having amassed a certain level of strength, could also be another possibility.

That is, the Liang Family’s wartime resources were depleting too greatly, and the Defensive Great Formation, under the enemy’s frenzied attacks and the study of Third Order Formation Masters, might not be able to hold out much longer.

If they continued to hold out, the Great Formation would not be able to protect the Liang Family Territory for much longer.

At that time, they would eventually still have to face the assault of the Yuanchen Sect and several major powers.

Once they are forced to strike back, the situation of the Liang Family would likely become even more difficult.

Instead of that, it would be better to plan ahead and create some opportunities so that they would not be so passive in the future.

In this situation, it could be said that the Liang Family was being forced into offensive action.

But regardless, such moves by the Liang Family somewhat relieved Lin Tianming.

After all, if the Liang Family keeps hunkering down, it will only show that the Liang Family lacks confidence.

Now that they are capable of these actions, it actually makes Lin Tianming more optimistic about the Liang Family’s prospects.

Otherwise, if there was not a glimmer of hope for the Liang Family’s victory, they would have needed to make early preparations for different outcomes.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming nodded and then asked Lin Tianhu about the general outcomes of the factional conflicts in these past few years.

Following that, Lin Tianhu began to recount some of the events that had transpired over the past six months.

According to his account, from an overall perspective, neither side has gained an absolute advantage in the two major conflicts, with the outcomes being roughly equal.

As for casualties, both sides had their losses.

Among them, an Early Stage Golden Core Independent Cultivator fell, and both the Liang and Yang families lost a Golden Core Stage Combatant each.

In comparison, in these two confrontations, the Yuanchen Sect and other major forces also lost four Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

Including a Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator who died at the hands of Liang Qingyu.

Content with these results, Lin Tianming nodded in satisfaction and let out a sigh of relief.

He was well aware that it was not easy for the Liang Family to achieve the current outcomes.

It must be known that each of the Yuanchen Sect’s major forces is more than just a common Golden Core power; each one has a long lineage and overall strength not much weaker than the Liang Family.

Meanwhile, for the Liang Family to have held on for more than a year, nearly two, without falling into an obvious disadvantage against the combined attack of such forces, was already beyond belief.

The following confrontations between the two sides are likely to escalate even further.

It’s estimated that it won’t be long before they enter a full-blown intensive phase.

At that time, the scale of the battles is likely to increase, as well as the determination to annihilate each other, which will intensify with the escalation of the battlefield.

And what he needs to do is to be mentally prepared in advance.

Fortunately, the results of his recent retreat were quick and exceedingly ideal.

Now his cultivation has improved by one level, and his overall strength has doubled.

Next, even if he faces a large-scale magical duel, he is confident that he can emerge unscathed.

Moreover, with his look after Lin Tianhu and the others, there’s at least some assurance for their lives.

Considering this, Lin Tianming began to ponder various countermeasures.

A short while later, Lin Tianming and Lin Tianhu chatted idly for a bit.

During this time, Lin Tianming instructed them to be fully alert.

Moreover, during the future magical fights, the clan members should look out for each other and prioritize their safety.

As for the Liang Family side, it would be best if they could achieve victory.

But if they are unable to contend with the major forces of the Yuanchen Sect, there’s no need for them to fight to the death.

Once the situation stabilizes and it’s confirmed that the Liang Family can no longer resist, that will be the time for them, the brothers, to leave.

Understanding these points, Lin Tianming’s expression became grave.

Next, they exchanged updates on their current states.

Lin Tianhu had a close call due to a surprise attack by a Mid Stage Golden Core Strongman in the last major battle, nearly suffering severe injuries.

Luckily, his vigilance was high, and his own strength was not weak; despite being ambushed by the Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator, Lin Tianhu only sustained some injuries without any serious impact.

As for Lin Tianfeng and Sun Ling’er on the other side, both are in good condition without any injuries.

In view of such outcomes, the past half year for Lin Tianhu and his group can be considered smooth, having at least not suffered any grave injuries.

Apart from them, Lin Tianming gained the most, as his cultivation increased and, consequently, his strength grew significantly.

Indirectly, Lin Tianming’s breakthrough in realm also benefited them.

However, Qin Xi is still in seclusion and cultivating, and the specific results are currently unknown.
