Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

By the time it realized what happened, the Wind Dusk Beast had already dashed a thousand zhang away, leaving only its silhouette and the traces under its feet.

Seeing this, the Tyrant Spirit Ape became even angrier.

It had assumed that the Wind Dusk Beast, already injured and seemingly out of strength to fight back, would not escape its pursuit.

Yet, to its surprise, the Wind Dusk Beast in its dire situation managed to unleash a divine skill attack, buying itself some time.

At this moment, the Tyrant Spirit Ape thumped its chest and stomped its feet a few times, as if to vent its emotions.

Then, not bothering with its own injuries, the Tyrant Spirit Ape took the first step and hurried after the Wind Dusk Beast in the direction it had fled.

...

Green Bamboo Mountain.

In a valley behind the main peak, Ye Pinghai sat on the ground in meditation, as still as an old monk.

At this time, his breathing was steady and the paleness on his face had faded, revealing a hint of color.

Beyond that, his previously chaotic body seemed to have stabilized, with a hidden strength in his formidable aura that involuntarily made others feel a sense of dread.

Time passed quickly; three months had gone by since he began channeling Spiritual Energy into his body to form the Golden Core.

Throughout this period, Ye Pinghai had not stopped for a moment, refining all the gathering Spiritual Energy for the creation of the Golden Core.

After such a long time of refinement, he was quite pleased with the progress.

Now, as Ye Pinghai looked down at the illusory Golden Core within him, he saw that it had drastically changed in appearance.

Initially, the Golden Core was only in its rudimentary form, looking extremely ethereal, as if it could shatter at any moment.

But now, the Golden Core appeared much more stable; it had taken on a golden luster, with indescribable patterns upon it.

Moreover, the biggest change was the Spiritual Power within the Golden Core.

Though the Spiritual Power inside looked far from abundant, even the slightest bit contained energy far surpassing what it held before.

Looking at this potent Spiritual Power and the nearly complete patterns on the Golden Core, Ye Pinghai's face lit up with joy, and he began to feel a surge of excitement.

"At this rate, I might reach completion in just a few days and thus invite the Threefold Lightning Tribulation!" Ye Pinghai thought to himself.

Having calmed down, he immediately gathered his focus and swiftly entered a deeper phase of the refinement process.

...

At the entrance of the valley.

Lin Shikang was sitting on a rock, and as he opened his eyes, his sharp gaze fell upon the diminishing Spiritual Energy above him, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Over the months, he had distinctly felt a change in the Spiritual Energy in the air; the Spiritual Power here was still rich, but there was a noticeable decrease compared to before.

"With such a large amount of Spiritual Energy refined, the Golden Core Tribulation is likely imminent!" Lin Shikang muttered to himself.

As he was lost in thought, several Lin Family Members approached the valley.

They dispersed to different locations and began to place a vast number of Spirit Stones around the edges of the valley.

Simultaneously, one among them arranged the scattered Spirit Stones into a basic Spirit Gathering Array.

Soon, the Spirit Gathering Array activated, refining the placed Spirit Stones into Spiritual Power, which was then channeled into a Spirit Group in the air, locking it in this area.

After completing these tasks, several individuals passed by Lin Shikang, saluting him with a bow, and then left towards different directions inside the clan grounds.

Lin Shikang nodded and watched as his clan members left the valley, disappearing from sight.

Subsequently, he sent several messages to Lin Shihua and Lin Shigong, informing them of the changes here and instructing them to prepare for the approaching Golden Core Tribulation.

Once that was arranged, Lin Shikang turned his gaze to the interior of the valley, perking up and staying focused on the surroundings and the sky above, ready for any sudden developments.

...

Three days later.

At noon, when the sun was blazing high in the sky, searing rays illuminated every corner of the Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory.

Above the valley, a large mass of Spiritual Energy gathered together; some were condensed by the Protective Clan Formation, and others were refined from Spirit Stones by the Lin Family Members through their formation.

Looking over, this large group of Spiritual Energy seemed peaceful, steadily flowing into the center of the valley.

Suddenly, the vast Spiritual Energy started to churn, and then it rapidly accelerated into the valley.

Upon witnessing this unusual change, Lin Shikang's expression drastically shifted, filled with concern.

Meanwhile, inside the valley, Ye Pinghai was sitting cross-legged, his face flushed with an exceedingly complex expression, as if he was feeling a sensation of being on the cusp of emergence.

At the same time, his body was radiating brilliantly, with a tumultuous upheaval occurring within.

Just then, he looked within his body and discovered a Golden Core radiating golden light and brimming with intricate patterns.

"This... could this truly be the formed Golden Core?"

Ye Pinghai was somewhat uncertain and even somewhat incredulous.

After calming down with some difficulty, he promptly circulated his cultivation technique to give it a try, and immediately felt an overwhelming surge of spiritual power.

At this moment, his whole body seemed filled with strength, inducing a feeling of comfortable ecstasy.

Unsure how much time had passed, he recalled the Patriarch of the Lin Family's breakthrough insights combined with this exhilarating sensation, and this affirmation settled in him.

"Ha... hahaha... the Golden Core has been successfully formed!"

Unable to contain himself, Ye Pinghai laughed heartily, his expression exceptionally excited as he could not help but exclaim aloud.

After an entire two and a half years in closed-door cultivation, at this moment, he finally succeeded in forming his Golden Core, taking a significant step forward.

As long as he could peacefully overcome the Threefold Golden Elixir Thunder Tribulation, he would become a Golden Core Cultivator, looked up to with admiration and awe.

And he, a mere Loose Cultivator who had stumbled upon the cultivation path by chance, had cultivated for a hundred years and faced countless life-or-death crises, of which only he himself was truly aware.

Thinking of these things, tears streamed down Ye Pinghai's face, an indescribable feeling welling up inside him.

However, before he could regain his composure, a clap of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, followed by a raging wind.

"Rumble..."

Subsequently, the previously clear and azure sky suddenly darkened with the rapid gathering of thunderclouds.

In an instant, the sky flashed with thunder and howled with fierce winds.

Yet these thunderclouds refrained from descending, as if still brewing for what was to come.

At this time, Ye Pinghai snapped out of his excitement, his face immediately taking on a gravely serious expression.

He had been too thrilled before, nearly forgetting the most crucial matter: the successful formation of the Golden Core would immediately attract the Golden Core Tribulation.

One is not truly considered a Golden Core Cultivator until they safely weather the Threefold Lightning Tribulation.

Though he had never experienced nor witnessed it firsthand,

the records in various texts, as well as the rumors circulating in the Cultivation World, had given him a clear understanding of the sheer terror of the Heavenly Tribulation.

In that instant, not daring to be careless, he quickly got up to check all the items he had prepared to cope with the tribulation and made all preparations to deal with it.

...

Outside the valley.

When the Spiritual Energy suddenly shifted, followed by a thunderous clap that arose from nowhere, Lin Shikang was jolted awake, as were the rest of the Lin Family Members on the Lin Family Clan Grounds.

At this time, with a serious expression, Lin Shikang looked up at the thunderclouds brewing in the sky, his face showing a look of horror.

This was clearly a precursor to the imminent arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation!

Having been through his share of storms and life-or-death crises, he typically faced them with unflappable calm.

But this was the first time he had witnessed the Golden Core Tribulation with his own eyes.

Thinking that he might face such a day himself, Lin Shikang wore a complex expression, filled with surging heroic passion as if ready to charge forward, yet tinged with a hint of fear at the same time.

"Rumble..."

The sound of thunder continued, and the long-brewing thunderclouds seemed to signal their impending descent.

In a hurry, Lin Shikang quickly retreated, reaching the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain in the blink of an eye.

At that point, Lin Shihua and Lin Shigong were already waiting there.

Upon seeing Lin Shikang's arrival, Lin Shihua and the other immediately approached, their expressions brimming with excitement.

From afar, Lin Shihua's urgent voice carried over, seemingly quite agitated.

"Third Brother... Ye has successfully formed his Golden Core, he's about to undergo the tribulation, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Shikang smiled faintly, nodding his head to confirm the truth of the matter.

Seeing Lin Shikang's nod, Lin Shihua and the other became certain of their guess, their expressions filled with indescribable excitement.
