Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

What delighted him was that, after the experience in the secret realm, he found that the concentration level of his True Yuan had increased by another tier. Although he hadn't made a breakthrough, this meant he could now launch an assault on the next realm.

Become a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

For Cultivators, reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage often led to frequent encounters with bottlenecks, and it was even possible for some Cultivators to remain stuck at a certain realm within the Foundation Establishment Stage forever.

His father, for example, couldn't even sense the existence of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment before consuming the Fourth Rank Spiritual Tea.

In that case, no matter how much one cultivated, it would just be marking time.

Lin Shiming previously had no confidence in when he could break through the late-stage Foundation Establishment.

But now, he felt confident that he could make the breakthrough within the next three to ten years.

And to think, it had only been five years since he broke through to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment!

After a brief moment of joy, Lin Shiming once again fell into deep thought.

The inescapable issue at hand was the Zi Xuan Hermit.

Shen Ji True Person had avoided him because Shen Ji True Person's concern for him wouldn't be too great, but the Purple Mansion Hermit was different.

He was Lin Shiming's master.

Moreover, out of the eleven who truly came out of the secret realm, only he and Xie An remained!

Of course, for him, everything also needed to go smoothly on Xie An's end.

As Lin Shiming was contemplating, he suddenly saw endless firelight appear on the summit of Heavenly Sword Peak, and a terrifying Sword Intent descended upon the entire Heavenly Sword Peak.

For a moment, the Spirit Swords in his Storage Bag began to stir, as if they had been summoned.

What was even more terrifying was that Lin Shiming felt his Sword Path Grass Seeds also showed signs of activity at this moment.

His body, like the hum of a sword, began to tremble, ready to transform into a Spirit Sword and soar into the sky for a battle.

Lin Shiming stepped outside his room, only to see the Mountain Protection Array still suppressing a Fire Sword, while countless Spirit Swords flew towards the summit of Heavenly Sword Peak from all directions.

Clearly, the others felt the same call.

And there were those who couldn't control their Spirit Swords, which flew into the sky.

The next moment, a thousand Flaming Swords hung upside down from Heavenly Sword Peak, and a figure in a Taoist robe, holding a Flaming Sword, fought alone against many from the Purple Mansion.

It was none other than Xie An's clone and the Soul Summoning Flaming Sword!

Amidst ten thousand sword shadows, one after another Purple Mansion figure was slashed down the mountain.

The stars in the sky twinkled fiercely, and the river of stars fell again in the daytime, but this time, the power of the falling stars was obviously unstoppable, unlike the vast grandeur of the daytime.

And the Flaming Sword was charging against the colossal starlight giant in the sky, and behind the Fire Sword, the figures of Heavenly Sword True Person and Profound Sword True Person appeared in succession.

Only now, it seemed as if they had expended much of their might during the day, and at this moment, they were momentarily unable to handle the Flaming Sword.

Lin Shiming knew that Flame Yang was not like other Cultivators, inside him was a drop of millennium spiritual milk.

That was something Flame Yang had coaxed out of him.

It was also the condition under which Flame Yang had agreed to help Xie An and him.

That single drop of millennium spiritual milk could at least allow Flame Yang to fully unleash the might of his magical treasure.

Just like Chen Daoyuan had caused to explode within the small world.

Underneath the extended night, the fiery red Flaming Sword was like a crimson sun.

The starlight fell from the sky, and countless other Sword Intents emerged.

However, Lin Shiming still saw the Star Shifting Great Formation being breached with a large hole, and the Flaming Sword, from that gap, had already vanished without a trace.

The fiery glow disappeared, along with the starlight across the sky and the True Persons standing tall in the void.

Flame Yang had succeeded, as a Fifth Rank Superior Grade magical treasure, it was far beyond the might of the other five Soul Summoning Swords.

And Heavenly Sword True Person and Profound Sword True Person had clearly also significantly depleted themselves during the day; such beings could not recover in a short half-day.

Flame Yang had precisely taken advantage of this opportunity to break through the Star Shifting Great Formation.

Of course, one reason was that the Star Shifting Great Formation did not have the might it had during the day.

The current array seemed to be just the Mountain Protection Array of Heavenly Sword Peak, not prepared like during the day when it was the entire Sect's Mountain Protection Array.

Under the night sky, many Purple Mansion Cultivators from Shen Ji Peak, Dan Qi Peak, and Haoran Peak came to inquire about the situation at Heavenly Sword Peak.

However, all that had nothing to do with Lin Shiming at the moment.

Perhaps the Zi Xuan Hermit was very frustrated now, perhaps Xie An was also very frustrated.

But it had nothing to do with him.

Xie An had made a vow of the Heavenly Dao, and their transaction could not possibly go awry.

Lin Shiming hoped that the Zi Xuan Hermit was gravely injured.

At least in the short term, he would be unable to leave seclusion, and Lin Shiming, as a nominal disciple, naturally couldn't stay within the sect for long either.

Moreover, he truly needed to mourn.

Lin Shiming took out a Third Rank Spirit Jade and sat down on the cushion, beginning to carve it meticulously.

For cultivators, engraving simple spirit coffins or jade boxes was extremely straightforward.

Of course, to deceive the cultivators of the Qingxuan Sect, he had to carve it with great care.

It took almost half a day; time turned to daylight again, and just as he expected, the Purple Mansion Loose did not show up.

He looked at the jade box in his hands, where a Sword Lotus floated above it, seeming vividly lifelike.

No system prompt appeared; Lin Shiming hung white cloth in the room and then took out two candles.

After that, he took out a Concealment Formation and entered the Cave Heaven World.

"I implore you, Seventh Uncle Ancestor, for guidance!" Lin Shiming repeated the origin and potential course of events to Lin Xianzhi once again.

Upon hearing Lin Shiming's strategy and its execution, the latter nodded in approval.

Clearly, in the current situation, Lin Shiming's response was indeed the best possible strategy to choose.

And Flame Yang's escape had also created a great opportunity for Lin Shiming.

Subsequently, Lin Xianzhi also shared his supplementary plan for the family clan with Lin Shiming.

During his time in the Cave Heaven World, his primary concern was how to ensure the Lin Family could thrive.

The present Lin Family had undoubtedly become an indispensable Foundation Establishment clan in Yunzhou.

In the future, the suspicions once directed at the Li Family would inevitably also fall upon their Lin Family.

Especially now that Shen Ji True Person would probably be preparing for his Nascent Soul breakthrough, the sect was bound to begin a major purge soon.

And the outer sect disciples would certainly begin to infiltrate in large numbers.

Lin Xianzhi by no means suited to appear in the Lin Family region of Yunzhou anymore, and not just Lin Xianzhi, Lin Shiming also had to keep a low profile.

In Lin Xianzhi's vision, Lin Shiming must remain in secluded cultivation within the Lin Family compound and break through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, whether capable or not.

Of course, what Lin Xianzhi didn't know was that Lin Shiming had truly reached the point where he could break through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Otherwise, his reaction at that time would have been quite amusing to see.

After discussing the future direction of the Lin Family with Lin Xianzhi, Lin Shiming felt even more confident in his plans.

As the departure neared, Lin Xianzhi called out to Lin Shiming.

"Shiming, let this old man take a look at the craftsmanship of his own spirit coffin!" Lin Xianzhi said with a smile.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Lin Shiming took out the spirit coffin and then returned to his room.

It was the third day.

Lin Shiming, carrying the spirit coffin jade box and clad in simple mourning attire, walked out of his room.

The next moment, a cultivator stepped out from beside him, but upon seeing Lin Shiming holding the spirit coffin and dressed in mourning clothes, was clearly taken aback.

The scolding that was about to erupt was momentarily halted.

"Senior Brother, I hope you can report to Master that I must send the ancestor's remains back; we cannot let the ancestor's soul wander beyond our realm!"

Lin Xianzhi's death was for the Zi Xuan Hermit, and at this moment, that Senior Brother was evidently hesitating.

"Lin Junior Brother, Master seems to have important matters to attend to, please wait a moment, and I will report this for you!"

Lin Shiming wasn't surprised, thinking if they let him leave just like that, he might be more suspicious that they intended to silence him. Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire

Lin Shiming walked back, with his room door wide open.

The cultivator glanced into the room where Lin Shiming was, saw the mostly burned white candles and some mourning white cloth, and then disappeared from the spot.

After the time it takes for one joss stick to burn, the cultivator returned.

"Lin Junior Brother, the Master invites you!"

Lin Shiming followed to the dwelling of the Purple Mansion Loose.

This was not his first visit, but this time, he could distinctly feel that all the for array protections of Purple Mansion Loose's dwelling were activated.

And the Purple Mansion Loose in front of him, though still in a purple robe, seemed much weaker in aura.

Lin Shiming instantly understood that this Purple Mansion Loose was a clone.
