NOVPUBChapter 738: Chapter 401: The Arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation_1 Chapter 738: Chapter 401: The Arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation_1 Two months later.
In a valley behind the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain, Ye Pinghai was sitting cross-legged on a mountain top.
This was the very place where Lin Shikang was in retreat, and at the request of the Lin Family, he was here to act as Lin Shikang’s protector.
He wouldn’t naturally refuse a request from the Lin Family. Having just broken through to the Golden Core Stage a few years ago, he also needed time to cultivate in retreat to solidify his cultivation at this stage.
Therefore, he readily accepted the Lin Family’s request and had been protecting Lin Shikang for almost three years.
At this moment, Ye Pinghai seemed to sense something.
He immediately opened his eyes and stared ahead, then felt the slight wind flowing towards the depths of the valley, accompanied by a large amount of spiritual energy converging inside.
...
Although the change was still not obvious, as a genuine Golden Core Cultivator, he still perceived this fluctuation.
Once he confirmed these changes, Ye Pinghai’s expression gradually became solemn.
While he was lost in thought, the sky, which was clear just moments ago, slowly began to fill with dark clouds, and the world gradually darkened.
At the same time, the range of the dark clouds continued to expand, quickly enveloping a large area.
Such changes in heaven and earth were clearly out of the ordinary. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
Based on his own experience of breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, Ye Pinghai immediately realized what was happening.
Counting from the beginning of Lin Shikang’s retreat, nearly three years had passed, and he was finally taking that step.
And this disturbance was clearly the rhythm of attracting a Heavenly Tribulation!
Realizing this, Ye Pinghai’s expression turned excited in an instant.
“Boom…”
A loud thunderclap echoed through heaven and earth.
In an instant, a bolt of silver lightning split the void, briefly illuminating the darkened sky.
This commotion was not small and quickly spread throughout most of the Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory.
At this time, inside the Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory, outside the structures of various major families, many clan members who were still busy immediately sensed this change.
One by one, they put down their work, or stopped their hurried pace, landing on the ground.
By now, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the center of the dark clouds, their faces showing puzzled expressions.
This kind of disturbance had actually been experienced once a few years ago.
However, when the commotion first erupted, the clan’s higher-ups responded quickly, dispersing them and making them leave the Lin Family Clan Grounds for a while.
After everything returned to normal, the family did not disclose the reason and even issued repeated strict orders to forbid discussion of the matter.
It was unexpected that in just a few years, such a disturbance would once again resonate through the Lin Family Clan Grounds.
It was really quite unusual.
The matter of Lin Shikang’s retreat for the Impact of Golden Core Stage was a top-secret event within the Lin Family, known to fewer than ten people out of several hundred in the clan.
However, as this disturbance emerged once again, some clan members with broader horizons seemed to understand something.
They couldn’t help but secretly speculate that this disturbance was too great; it was either someone cultivating some powerful Divine Skills or refining some formidable magic artifacts.
But there was also a possibility that a clan member was impacting the Golden Core Stage.
If it was indeed the latter, then it was no wonder the family placed such great importance on it.
While the clan members were lost in thought, the figures of Lin Shihua and Lin Shigong suddenly appeared on the summit of the main peak.
“Hear the command of this old man, all clan members must immediately follow Ninth Brother and retreat fifty li outside the mountain gate. Do not step into the clan grounds without my order to return!”
After he spoke, Lin Shihua looked at Lin Shigong next to him, and they nodded to each other.
Immediately afterward, Lin Shihua leaped up and quickly disappeared from view.
Lin Shigong, on the other hand, looked down at the large group of clan members below. He then waved his hand and shouted, leading them towards the mountain gate.
Soon, the previously bustling clan grounds were empty.
Behind the main peak in the valley, the figures of Lin Shihua and Lin Shilu appeared.
Just a few breaths later, the figures of Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan also appeared.
“Grandson pays respects to Grandpa Sea and to Elders Shi Lu and Fifteenth Grandfather!”
Lin Tianming bowed to Ye Pinghai and the others immediately, his expression extremely excited.
Apart from him, Lin Shilu and Lin Shihua were likewise beaming with wide smiles, clearly in a very good mood.
They waved their hands, then greeted Ye Pinghai, the two sides appearing quite close, like they shared a deep relationship.
At their side, Hu Yuan’s face presently showed shock.
In fact, when the changes in heaven and earth began, he had already sensed the disturbance and immediately made a judgment: the Lin Family was actually facing a Golden Core Tribulation.
Then, outside his cultivation cave, he saw Lin Tianming, whom he hadn’t seen for several months.
Invited by Lin Tianming, he followed in his footsteps to this valley.
Only when he witnessed with his own eyes the lightning clouds slowly gathering overhead did he confirm his suspicion. It was unthinkable that the usually low-profile Lin Family actually had someone who had reached this step.
At this moment, Hu Yuan’s face was full of shock.
However, before he could catch his breath, seeing Ye Pinghai himself, Hu Yuan’s expression froze, and he looked even more astonished.
The impact of this scene on him was enormous.
If learning that someone from the Lin Family had attracted a Golden Core Tribulation was shocking enough,
