Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

As the team leader, he was a direct beneficiary and could further improve the team's points on the leaderboard.

In doing so, he would also receive generous clan rewards, but more importantly, he would gain access to an entry spot for the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm.

Thinking of these imminent rewards, Li Xiuyuan felt thrilled inside, his face always wearing a smile, his joy indescribable.

Influenced by his mood, the members of the team also burst into laughter, congratulating each other and chatting leisurely.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at Lin Tianming, cupped his hands in a salute, and then said in an amiable tone, "Lin, you've really shocked me time and time again!"

"Hehe... Li is right, Lin's strength is formidable, enviable indeed!" Hu Yuan added with a laugh.

In fact, what he said was indeed what he thought in his heart.

He had already been shocked by Lin Tianming time and again, but he hadn't expected that Lin Tianming wasn't done yet, continuously surpassing their understanding and leaving them even more astounded.

Especially in this battle, Lin Tianming's unmatched stance and his figure entwined in the act of slaying left many cultivators unable to forget for a long time.

It was precisely Lin Tianming, with his family cultivator identity, who possessed such strength at such a young age—it was truly dazzling.

He knew all too well that, as a loose cultivator himself, every minor breakthrough required enormous effort and precious resources.

Compared to Lin Tianming, there was simply no competition.

Realizing this, beholding Lin Tianming's natural talent and strength filled him with immense envy and admiration.

At this time, hearing the flattering and admiring words of others, Lin Tianming simply smiled faintly, without any insincere politeness.

After all, in the Cultivation World, strength was the highest authority, and since one could cultivate to the Medium Stage or beyond, nobody was there by being foolish.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming merely responded with a smile, "It's all thanks to everyone's help that I can fight without worries!"

After speaking, Lin Tianming smoothly changed the topic, "Now it's not the time for everyone to celebrate!"

Before his words fell, Li Xiuyuan took over the conversation.

"Exactly, Brother Long has messaged me to have everyone clear the battlefield, and once the clearing is done, to gather all the Late Foundation Establishment cultivators together!"

Hearing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivators present, including Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan, began to speculate about Long Qingshui's purpose.

After some thought, Lin Tianming guessed that it was very likely a pursuit of the hundred plus fleeing demonic beasts.

Although cleaning the battlefield would delay them and they'd need some time to recover their spiritual power, the demonic beasts, moving as a group, would be much slower.

Furthermore, the Tianluan Mountain Range was not small, certainly much larger than the Luoyun Mountain Range. For Second Order Demonic Beasts, reaching the safe area to the west would take at least several days.

Besides, Chen Jingtian, the strongest among them, was in the direction to the west.

If these wounded beasts were unlucky enough to encounter him, they would likely meet a total annihilation.

In such a scenario, as long as they didn't delay too long, there was still a good chance they could catch up.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Tianming didn't spell it out, and everyone tacitly followed Li Xiuyuan's lead to begin cleaning up the battlefield.

An hour passed.

By this time, the battlefield had been largely cleared, with the bodies of all the Second Order Demonic Beasts collected, and various Artifact Refining Materials filling their storage bags.

The remaining First Order Demon Beasts were numerous, but their materials were no longer very attractive to Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Then, Li Xiuyuan gathered together a few of the strongest Late Foundation Establishment Cultivators, including Lin Tianming.

He glanced over the group. Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan were notably present, as were Tang Liusheng and others.

Following this battle, their team's ranks were rather intact. Although several had fallen, all the Late Foundation Establishment Cultivators had survived.

Still, the original group, prior to the massive battle, numbered in the dozens. Now, only half remained alive here, with more than twenty having perished on this battlefield.

As for the other teams, the losses varied.

Teams like Long Qingshui's, comprised of True Disciples from the Zhenyang Sect, had lost only about a dozen, all of them at the Initial-Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, so their losses were indeed not significant.

Some teams suffered great losses, with the better ones keeping a dozen or so members, and the weakest teams facing complete annihilation.

This demonstrated just how devastating the beast tide attack was and how ferocious the battle had been.

But on reflection, the Cultivation World was a place where the strong preyed upon the weak, and with the uneven strength levels of different teams, varying outcomes were to be expected.

Just like Long Qingshui, a genius cultivator who is a disciple under Chen Jingtian, whether in terms of strength or influence, naturally had to be stronger than him.

Having such favorable conditions naturally attracted more formidable people to join, resulting in a stronger overall team strength.

After all, it's always nice to be in the shade under a big tree; having a good platform also makes it easier to achieve better team results, and personal achievements become easier too.

Understanding this, Li Xiuyuan felt relieved.

Beyond this, he was quite satisfied with the achievements his team had made.

Regathering his focus, Li Xiuyuan said a few words to his Foundation Establishment Fifth Level teammates, tasking them with staying behind to continue harvesting artifact refining materials from the demonic beast carcasses.

Having arranged this, he then took Lin Tianming with him and left to hurry in the direction where Long Qingshui was.

...

Soon, everyone arrived at the western part of the scene.

By now, over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators had gathered here, nearly every one of them at or above the Foundation Establishment Seventh Level.

A glance around revealed only a very few, like Lin Tianming, who were at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Level.

Clearly, these Foundation Establishment Sixth Level cultivators also possessed formidable combat capabilities, otherwise they would not have entered such a circle.

Li Xiuyuan, with Lin Tianming and a few others, greeted some familiar cultivators and then waited to the side.

In a short while, more Late Foundation Establishment cultivators hurried over, with the number of Late Foundation Establishment cultivators nearly reaching two hundred.

At this moment, Long Qingshui, who had been sitting in the middle of the crowd, stood up, surveyed the gathered cultivators, and found that nearly everyone had arrived.

He nodded in satisfaction, and then his loud voice rang out.

"Fellow daoists, after enduring for more than a year, the beast tide that attacked the Southern Wei Kingdom has finally been vanquished by us."

"Hehe, this is a victory for us all!"

Hearing these indifferent words, some cultivators began speaking, their language full of complimentary and polite phrases.

Lin Tianming, on the other hand, did not speak, quietly waiting for the main issue to be addressed.

Soon, Long Qingshui seemed to feel it was about enough, and he continued, "The battlefield here has been cleared of Second Order demonic beast corpses, and the First Order ones are almost dealt with as well."

"Besides that, everyone has recovered some of their spiritual power by now. Those escaping Second Order demonic beasts shouldn't have gotten far. I wish to lead a group of us to pursue those beasts. I wonder if you would be willing to follow?"

After he spoke, Long Qingshui looked at the many cultivators with an expectant expression, smiling.

"Under Long Daoist's leadership, I naturally will follow!" replied a Loose Cultivator with a smile from behind Long Qingshui.

"If Brother Long is leading, Junior Brother naturally has no objections!"

...

After a while, over a hundred people had indicated their willingness to follow, almost all being Zhenyang Sect disciples, or from Long Qingshui's team.

At this time, seeing that those agreeing were Sect disciples or from his team, with Loose Cultivators and family-affiliated cultivators seemingly hesitant,

He laughed, appearing quite easygoing, and then said, "Hehe... it's all voluntary, I absolutely do not insist!"

"However, one thing to note, if we kill demonic beasts during the pursuit, those will also count towards the points."

Hearing these words, the cultivators who had been reticent to commit themselves no longer held reservations and began to voice their agreement to be dispatched.

Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming naturally wouldn't refuse, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After all, he practiced Dual Cultivation of Body and Law, not too reliant on spiritual power, and this seemed a not very dangerous task that would also not be unrewarded. Working a bit more did not seem too bad.

Shortly after, over ninety percent of the cultivators present agreed to participate, and the remaining few, feeling the pressure even though they were reluctant, had no choice but to agree to the matter.

Seeing this, Long Qingshui nodded in satisfaction. His confidence in accomplishing the task Zhu Yun gave him greatly increased.

Once the situation calmed down, Long Qingshui gave a few instructions to his Sectmates nearby and then took out the Spirit-Connecting Flying Boat that Zhu Yun had left behind. He then led everyone aboard.

An hour went by.

The Spirit-Connecting Flying Boat turned into a lingering shadow, chasing after the traces left by the fleeing demonic beasts toward the west.
