I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 392: Attempting to Break Through the Infant Stage

His cultivation has now reached the peak of the Gold Core stage, and there is no point in secluding himself anymore as his cultivation will not increase. As for his Goldfinger, it has also improved rapidly over the years.

【Primordial Spirit: 2418.2】

【Heavenly Water Body: Excellent (234/150000)】

【Seal Master: Advanced (39804/50000)】

However, these only increase the chances of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, but it does not guarantee a direct breakthrough. At this point, Lin Qing needs to consider what to do next.

If he were to attempt a direct breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage now, he is confident that he has a 30% chance of success. This chance is already quite high, but what makes him hesitate is the information in the jade slip. It states that if the breakthrough fails, it usually takes about twenty to thirty years of recuperation before attempting another breakthrough. If the second attempt fails, the time needed for recuperation would likely double.

Calculating this, Lin Qing realizes that he has at most three chances in his lifetime, which makes him feel uncertain.

He remembers that when he broke through to the Gold Core stage, he had a 100% chance of success. The reason he participated in the Five Nations Conference at that time was to ensure that he would break through to the Gold Core stage. Otherwise, he would not have gone. Now, the Nascent Soul stage has no distinction between true and false, but his chances are only 30%, which is too low.

What's more, what makes him even more hesitant is that Yue's chances are less than 15%, even worse than his own. Her chances of breaking through are even more remote.

It is normal for the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it becomes to break through. When it comes to the Gold Core stage, there are still many cultivators in Yunzhou who can break through. But over the years, there hasn't been a single person who has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Those who have reached the peak of the Gold Core stage are extremely rare. As for the breakthrough achieved by Senior Mu Bai, it can only be considered a fluke and not a true breakthrough.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing recalls the ancient ruins he encountered in the past.

At that time, he had seen the remnant soul of Master Shan Shui, who said that he had only reached the peak of the Gold Core stage and failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. This shows how difficult it is.

Speaking of which, there is also a hidden danger in Lin Qing's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, which is the Shan Shui Divine Art he obtained from Master Shan Shui.

Undeniably, the Shan Shui Divine Art was very helpful to him in the early stages, allowing him to almost bypass any bottlenecks. But now, this cultivation technique is obviously not enough. If Lin Qing successfully breaks through, he will probably have to switch to another cultivation technique. However, in Yunzhou, he cannot find a cultivation technique better than the Shan Shui Divine Art in a short period of time.

At this moment, considering the benefits of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and the difficulties involved, Lin Qing is faced with a difficult decision.

In fact, he has already discussed with Yue that they should go to other states. It is because Yunzhou is too barren. There are several Nascent Soul cultivators in Lanzhou alone, not to mention other states. In Zhongzhou, Nascent Soul cultivators are very common, and there are even Soul Formation cultivators.

In other states, many problems can be solved, and there are also more resources. Perhaps they can even obtain treasures that can help them break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

But when going to other states, the first thing to consider is safety. It would be a waste to gain benefits but lose their lives.

Lin Qing's cultivation at the peak of the Gold Core stage is undoubtedly unmatched in Yunzhou, but it may not be the case in other states.

For a while, Lin Qing has been thinking about it, unable to make up his mind.

He is not alone; he has the entire Lin Family Mountain behind him. Such a major decision requires careful consideration.

"Since that's the case, I'll try to break through once and see. If it doesn't work, then I'll consider other matters." Lin Qing thought to himself, and immediately made a decision. He could try to break through once, and if it succeeded, everything would be fine. If it failed, he would decide on the next step in the future.

With this thought in mind, Lin Qing did not go to Purple Mountain, but instead stayed in the Lin family's mountain to adjust.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Qing had adjusted in all aspects to the best condition. Then he began to attempt the breakthrough.

With the jade slip he had obtained before, Lin Qing kept in mind the techniques and precautions for breaking through the Nascent Soul stage. He didn't appear overly worried, but rather had a fair amount of confidence.

Three days later, the cultivators in the Lin family's mountain were suddenly startled. The spiritual energy in the surroundings suddenly became several times denser, as if the spiritual veins of the Lin family's mountain had suddenly risen several levels. Not only that, in the sky above the entire Lin family's mountain, these dense spiritual energies actually formed vortexes, which made people even more astonished.

This celestial omen made everyone suspicious, but before they could guess the result, the dense spiritual energy in the Lin family's mountain suddenly loosened and dissipated into the heavens and earth.

The vortexes that had formed in the sky also disappeared in an instant.

"Phew!"

In the secret chamber of the Lin family's mountain, Lin Qing, whose spiritual consciousness had been damaged, unexpectedly spewed out a mouthful of blood.

He quickly operated his cultivation technique to suppress the restlessness within his body, and then revealed a hint of disappointment. Breaking through the Nascent Soul stage was much more difficult than he had imagined. He had undoubtedly failed this time.

"But it's not without gains. At least my spiritual power has improved again." Lin Qing thought to himself. Although the breakthrough had failed, his spiritual power had increased by twenty percent, making him even stronger.

After adjusting in the secret chamber for a whole day, Lin Qing finally walked out.

Looking at the restored tranquility and prosperity of the Lin family's mountain, he thought of his previous idea.

Now that he had failed to break through, he only needed to adjust for another twenty or thirty years to attempt another breakthrough. However, Lin Qing didn't dare to wait like this.

This time, he had adjusted in all aspects to the best condition. Even if his spiritual power would be more abundant next time, he still had little confidence in the Nascent Soul stage. At most, the success rate would increase from thirty percent to thirty-five percent. How could Lin Qing continue to wait with such a small difference?

And even if he continued to wait, if the next breakthrough failed, the time he needed to adjust would double. In that case, time would not wait for him.

"It seems that I have to take this step and go to other states to find opportunities for breakthroughs. Otherwise, staying in Yunzhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through even in old age. It's truly sad."

Lin Qing thought to himself, and immediately made up his mind. After a period of recuperation, he would leave Yunzhou and seek his own opportunity for a breakthrough.

Half a year later, a figure suddenly flashed across the endless sea. The speed of this figure was so fast that many demonic beasts couldn't catch up.

And this figure didn't stop at all, constantly flying forward as if it had a target.

This was Lin Qing. After half a year of recuperation, he immediately left the Lin family's mountain and flew towards Zhongzhou. The affairs of his family had already been arranged, and with several Gold Core cultivators at home, he didn't need to worry about their safety. As for Yue, she stayed at home, and he didn't even bring the Purple Golden Toad, leaving it on Purple Mountain.

It wasn't that Lin Qing was overestimating himself, but his current strength was indeed outstanding. Moreover, when it came to seeking opportunities for a breakthrough, having too many people around might not necessarily be a good thing. That's why he left alone.
