Chapter 1581: Chapter 818: Progress (Part 2)

In the next moment, numerous clan members began to speak, asking the clan member who had spoken earlier for any basis for his assertions.

Amidst such circumstances, the sect entrance plaza was rather lively.

Just when the clan members were feeling helpless, several members of the Lin Family flew in from the depths of the mountain gate, landing in the center of the sect entrance plaza.

Leading these clan members was Lin Xingyao, who was at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm.

At this moment, Lin Xingyao’s expression was calm, his demeanor seemed unperturbed, as if he was not worried at all about the upheaval at Qingyun Mountain Clan Land today.

And indeed, he was not worried about this matter.

Because half a year ago, when Lin Tianming first ventured into the underground depths, he had already summoned several core members of the Lin Family.

At that time, Lin Tianming seemed to foresee the reaction of the Earth Fire Vein and had contemplated many possibilities.

Thus, Lin Tianming had personally informed these few members about his whereabouts and what they should do in response to the upheaval at Qingyun Mountain.

For this reason, from the very start of the changes at Qingyun Mountain, these few had stepped forward to placate the emotions of the clan members.

However, at that time, in order to keep Lin Tianming’s plans secret, they did not inform the clan members of the specific reasons.

Simultaneously, they took these actions to ensure secrecy, lest Lin Tianming’s prolonged absence incites panic among the clan members.

After all, during this period, the Lin Family, along with the Liang and Yang Clans, were constantly facing the potential retaliatory moves from the Blood Red Alliance.

Therefore, in these turbulent times, if Lin Tianming, the Stabilizing Sea Needle of the Lin Family, was not present in the clan land, it would surely render the clan members uneasy.

Moreover, combined with the sudden upheaval in the clan land, it might trigger panic among some clan members.

On this basis, Lin Xingyao and others merely placated the clan members’ emotions without revealing too much information.

Thanks to their reassurance, over the past half-year, the clan members have maintained a normal mindset.

Through their efforts, most of the missions assigned by Lin Tianming have now been completed.

However, today, the upheaval in Qingyun Mountain Clan Land was indeed too evident, its disturbance far exceeded any prior occurrence.

Faced with this disruption, even Lin Xingyao and the others, who had been forewarned, inevitably felt some concern internally.

In their hearts, although Lin Tianming had given them prior warnings.

They all knew well how ancient the existence of the Earth Fire Vein beneath Qingyun Mountain was.

For thousands of years, the Earth Fire Vein had always been the key to survival for the various Golden Elixir Forces relying on this location.

According to their speculations, the Earth Fire Vein beneath this ground was certainly not as simple as a regular Earth Fire Vein.

Within it, while there may be hidden great opportunities, there could also be tremendous dangers.

At this critical juncture, Lin Tianming entered the Earth Fire Vein to seek treasures and undergo training. For those informed clan members, it was impossible to say they weren’t concerned.

After all, Lin Tianming was exceedingly important to the Lin Family.

Especially in this period, Lin Tianming was akin to the Stabilizing Sea Needle of the Lin Family.

If anything were to happen to Lin Tianming in the future, the Lin Family might find it difficult to overcome the crises from the Blood Red Alliance.

In their eyes, even if Lin Family narrowly escapes a disaster, the losses the family would suffer would definitely not be small, and its overall strength would significantly diminish.

Not only that, but the Lin Family’s promising development momentum would be interrupted.

If it truly comes to that, the Lin Family, after painstakingly reaching this point, might possibly regress a century.

It might even be worse than the situation a century ago.

For this reason, Lin Xingyao is deeply worried within.

However, to appease the clan members here, Lin Xingyao and the others maintain a calm expression, forcibly displaying a nonchalant yet confident demeanor.

At this moment, with Lin Xingyao’s arrival, those previously heavy-hearted clan members seemed to have found their anchor.

In the next moment, these clan members greeted them.

Immediately afterward, after exchanging greetings with Lin Xingyao and the others, these clan members spoke up at the earliest opportunity.

“Clan Uncle, surely you have noticed the changes within Qingyun Mountain today.”

“Could it be that something major has happened recently?”

“Was it an attack from the remnants of Yuanchen Sect?”

“Or perhaps, has the retaliation from the Blood Red Alliance arrived at last?”

“…”

Amidst intense questioning, Lin Family members inquired Lin Xingyao about the specific reasons for the upheaval at Qingyun Mountain.

To such reactions, Lin Xingyao and the others were well-prepared.

Consequently, Lin Xingyao maintained his usual expression and began explaining: “Fellow clan members, today’s upheaval in the clan land is something we clearly perceived.”

“However, fellow clan members, do not panic!”

“In my view, if all goes as expected, it should be Tian Ming’s cultivation during seclusion, where the power of his Divine Skills was too formidable, causing such disturbances.”

“It shouldn’t be long now before Tian Ming completes his cultivation.”

“At that time, everything on Qingyun Mountain will be restored to its original state.”

“I hope in the coming days, fellow clan members continue repairing the clan land according to the prior plans, without worrying too much about these upheavals.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xingyao smiled slightly, displaying a hint of excitement in his demeanor.

Upon hearing these words and seeing Lin Xingyao’s confident appearance, the clan members finally calmed down.

Following this, the clan members present began smiling again, and during their casual conversations with other clan members, their words were filled with anticipation.

At this very moment, deep beneath Qingyun Mountain Clan.

In the deep space of the Earth Fire Vein, Lin Tianming was suspended within a sea of flames.

At this moment, Lin Tianming was bare-chested, his eyes tightly closed, and his face alternated between red and white.

A moment later, flames began to emerge from Lin Tianming’s body.

Instantly, every inch of Lin Tianming’s skin, even his eyes and the top of his head, was ablaze with red, blue, and gold flames.

After burning for a while, these flames quickly retracted back into his body.

Subsequently, Lin Tianming appeared pale, large beads of sweat continuously dripped from his forehead, eventually evaporating in the scorching heat and vanishing.

After a while, Lin Tianming’s complexion began to improve, with some color finally returning to his face.

Then, Lin Tianming’s breathing started to normalize, and everything seemed to revert to its original state.

Nonetheless, it wouldn’t take an hour before Lin Tianming would undergo the same procedure once more.

Because of this, Lin Tianming was set to endure the pain he had just experienced once again.

In fact, the state he was in today has persisted for three long months.

During this period, he had to undergo this process multiple times daily.

His ordeal was due to the fact that three months ago, he successfully refined the Earth Core Source Fire at this location, making it his third Exotic Flame.

In the three months following the refinement of the Earth Core Source Fire, Lin Tianming was consistently in seclusion here, attempting to merge the altered Blue Heart True Flame with the Earth Core Source Fire.

In doing so, he was indeed taking enormous risks.

Yet, to induce another change in the Exotic Flames, maximizing their power and endowing them with greater growth potential, Lin Tianming resolutely decided to proceed, willing to take any risks necessary to attempt this.

Because he knew and firmly believed in one idea: only by taking greater risks could he achieve greater rewards.

On this point, he had deeply understood over the years.

Therefore, during the recent three months, Lin Tianming has been continuously trying to fuse the two Exotic Flames.

Through his relentless attempts, accumulated fusion experiences, and recent unwavering efforts.

Finally, today, he has attained substantial progress.
