Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 360: Chapter 221 Precautionary Measures_1

Half a month passed.

In the Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory, Lin Tianming and another flew on their swords and landed outside the Protective Clan Formation.

One after the other, they entered the formation, looked at the familiar family scenes, and immediately let out a sigh of relief.

After nearly three months of living on the wing and being constantly on edge, even fighting a fierce battle with a Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beast, the high-intensity journey of exploration left them utterly exhausted.

It wasn’t until they entered the clan gate that the crisis from the outside world was completely lifted, allowing them to finally relax.

After sending out several messages, Lin Shikang led Lin Tianming to fly towards the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain.

In a short while, the two of them returned to Lin Shikang’s cave dwelling.

Soon after receiving the message, Lin Shilu, Lin Shihua, and Lin Shigong arrived one after another. After exchanging greetings, the group of five sat in the courtyard and started to chat casually.

Lin Tianming and Lin Shikang immediately inquired about Lin Xingluan and the deceased clan members.

According to Lin Shihua, Lin Xingluan’s injuries had stabilized.

However, as he had previously speculated, due to the severity of the injuries, even if he recovered, the hope for advancing far on his cultivation path was still very slim.

The more than twenty deceased clan members had been buried, and their compensation had been distributed to their descendants according to the clan rules; those without direct descendants with Spiritual Roots had their portion temporarily held by the clan. If a descendant with Spiritual Roots appeared within a hundred years, the full compensation would be given to them.

Hearing the Clan Leader’s arrangements, which seemed quite appropriate, it was just a pity that the Lin Family had lost a Foundation Establishment seed. However, that Lin Xingluan managed to survive was a piece of fortunate news amidst the misfortune.

At that moment, Lin Shikang nodded with a look of regret and then sent a message to Lin Tianfeng.

Soon after, Lin Tianfeng arrived, greeted everyone, and sat aside waiting.

As for being summoned, Lin Tianfeng was well-prepared, certainly to inquire about the incident where they were attacked by the Ice Flame Lion Tribe in the Hanbing Mountain Range and then to discuss it with the clan members.

As expected.@@novelbin@@

Once everyone had arrived, Lin Shilu was the first to inquire about the attack on Lin Tianfeng and the others.

Although Lin Tianfeng had reported the incident to his family as soon as he returned, he himself was quite baffled by the Ice Flame Lions’ attack and had no idea why it had happened.

In this way, since Lin Tianming and another had entered the mountain range to investigate, with their cultivation and strength, they might uncover some clues.

Listening to Lin Shilu’s tone, which also revealed some unusual undertones, Lin Shikang immediately said, “I and Tianming also find this matter quite strange!”

“After more than two months of investigation by me and Tianming, we did discover some peculiarities.”

“Based on some ancient records in the Cultivation World, we found that the number of Demonic Beasts in the entire Luoyun Mountain Range has clearly increased compared to before, and their strength has also improved somewhat.”

Hearing this, Lin Shilu’s brows furrowed, sensing the matter to be even more unusual.

Lin Shikang chuckled and continued, “However, we did not go to the center of the Luoyun Mountain Range, so the situation inside remains unknown, and we cannot confirm it!”

“These changes could be the natural patterns of Demonic Beasts, but it does not rule out the possibility that the higher-ups of the Demonic Beasts Race might be planning something!”

This remark from Lin Shikang caused Lin Shilu and the other older clan members to tremble inwardly, leading them to think of the dreaded beast tides in the cultivation world.

Beast tides, almost universally known in the cultivation world, are irregular and incomprehensible in their patterns. Sometimes, there is a beast tide every century, but their scale varies; a minor beast tide might involve only some Third Order Demonic Beasts while during a major one, even Fifth Order Demonic Beasts have emerged.

Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, there was a major beast tide with as many as three Fifth Order Demonic Beasts involved.

At that time, the territory of Qingzhou was not even a third of what it is now; that one major beast tide directly took over part of the adjacent Yunzhou, with the lives of Golden Core Stage cultivators being as dispensable as grass. A large number of high-order cultivators perished at the maws of the Demonic Beasts.

In the critical moment, several Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Human Race came forth, leading powerful beings from several continents to engage in a fierce battle with the Demon Beast Army. After a brutal fight, the Human Cultivators emerged victorious.

That battle was earth-shattering, with two of the Fifth Order Demonic Beasts being slain and one Nascent Soul Cultivator gravely wounded.

Finally, the Demonic Beast Race withdrew of their own volition, giving up a large expanse of territory. Much of the current Qingzhou’s land was gained during that time, and after thousands of years of struggle and evolution, it eventually formed several nations.

These rumors are recorded in the annals, although there might be some discrepancies due to the long passage of time.

However, in the treasure vaults of the ancient Sect Families, there must be more detailed historical documents.

Beyond that, there are no patterns to the outbreak of beast tides; the records in the cultivation world indicate that there have been many places where beast tides have erupted.

The vast areas of Qingzhou and Jizhou bordering the Demonic Lands have the highest probability of experiencing beast tides and have done so most frequently.

Wei Kingdom has not experienced a beast tide in hundreds of years, causing many newer generations of cultivators to nearly forget about it; only those who are Golden Core Stage cultivators might have the chance to have lived through one.

Coming back to the moment, upon seeing everyone’s serious expressions, Lin Shikang started to offer reassurances.

“This is only speculation, because the number of Demonic Beasts in the Luoyun Mountain Range has not doubled, it’s just a bit abnormal.”
