Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

But the Heart Demon Tribulation did not give Lin Shijie a chance.

It quickly dissipated.

At this moment, Lin Shijie felt a heaviness in his heart and tilted his head upward.

Above him, a cluster of dark clouds had already formed.

He stood and headed toward the nearby island prepared for Heavenly Tribulation breakthroughs.

The next moment, he was somewhat surprised, as he realized the formation had recently been used.

He saw Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi among others and knew that the entire family had come to protect him.

His heart warmed with gratitude.

The Nine Tribulations Thunder Tower Formation was activated again, manifesting a massive thunder tower.

Lin Shijie sat at the center of the tower, as the thunderclouds in the sky grew larger and heavier.

"Shijie, take this Thunder Tribulation Pill!" Lin Shiming tossed out a pill bottle, knowing Lin Shijie's tribulation would be no minor matter.

Unlike the Star Spirit Clam with its powerful physical body and natural resistance,

Lin Shijie's physique was far less effective in resisting a Heavenly Tribulation.

At this critical moment, Lin Shijie did not feign humility. Additional preparation was always better.

As for owing Lin Shiming a Spirit Pill, there was no helping it.

He could repay it after advancing to the Golden Core realm.

Within the family, such distinctions were unnecessary at times like this.

As he received the pill bottle, the Heavenly Thunder finally began to descend.

The power of this thunderbolt exceeded even the Star Spirit Clam's tribulation by a significant margin.

However, Lin Shijie retrieved five magical swords.

These were five superior-grade fourth-rank lifebound treasures crafted by Jiuxiao True Person upon his request.

Due to the refinement process, even after his Golden Core breakthrough, he could use further refinement and special materials to elevate them to fifth-rank treasures.

Additionally, he could utilize the Lin Family's fifth-rank Pure Spirit Vein to nurture these treasures.

The family had once obtained the Treasure-Nurturing Technique and had now fully implemented it across all Spirit Veins. Yet, the scarcity of Spirit Veins limited the nurturing process.

With recent rapid advancements, Lin Shiming had refrained from nurturing other treasures excessively.

He was only using the fifth-rank Spirit Vein to nurture the Myriad Beasts Banner.

The thunderbolt struck the Thunder Tower, scattering layer upon layer of energy before reaching the bottom, significantly weakened.

The Thunder Tower formation had drawn inspiration from a secret Heavenly Tribulation realm discovered by Lin Houshou.

Yet even weakened, the tribulation retained annihilating force!

Lin Shijie raised the five magical swords, slashing at the remaining Heavenly Tribulation.

Boom!

The sword light from the Five Flame Sword intertwined with thunderous lightning.

In the end, the lightning prevailed, continuing downward. Lin Shijie activated his Spirit Shield to endure part of the impact.

For Golden Core cultivators, tribulations are resented, yet indispensable.

These trials temper the cultivator's body and refine their True Yuan.

Soon, the second wave of the tribulation descended, striking the Thunder Tower and erupting in unmatched brilliance, causing the entire tower to shake.

This sight brought unease to everyone present.

During the Star Spirit Clam's tribulation, the shaking began with the third wave.

For Lin Shijie, even the second wave caused tremors.

This demonstrated the greater intensity of his tribulation.

Fortunately, he still had the Thunder Tribulation Pill and numerous tribulation-related treasures at hand.

The Thunder Tribulation Pill was discovered by Lin Shiming in the Tianzhao Sect's Secret Realm—a treasure of immense value.

It could even assist in overcoming the tribulation between Golden Core and Nascent Soul, meant for emergencies.

The second wave and the third wave of the tribulation swiftly followed.

At this moment, dazzling Spiritual Fire coalesced before Lin Shijie—five strands of Heavenly Spiritual Fire descended, transforming into five spirit shadows and merging into his lifebound treasures.

This immediately elevated the power of his swords to a new level, easily repelling the tribulation.

Soon, the final wave arrived. Lin Shijie's tribulation was the Seven-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, surpassing the Star Spirit Clam's, yet inferior to Lin Shiming's.

The thunderclouds depleted entirely, condensing into a single, bucket-thick bolt of lightning that roared downward.

The Thunder Tower was reduced to fragments of Spirit Light and vanished.

At this moment, Lin Shijie hesitated briefly over consuming the Thunder Tribulation Pill but ultimately refrained.

Instead, his five swords suddenly converged.

It seemed they were merging into one!

Even Lin Shiming was somewhat shaken by this display.

Evidently, Lin Shijie had gained some insight during the tribulation.

The combined sword struck the tribulation, splitting it into two waves that descended.

He activated the Heavenly Thunder Shield before the two waves, blocking much of the impact.

Lastly, the residual energy cascaded onto his body.

A surge of Golden Core True Person aura radiated outward.

The Lin Family had gained another True Person.

A Thunder Tribulation Pool appeared in the sky as Lin Shijie was the first to enter it.

Meanwhile, the surrounding beast tide no longer required Lin Shiming's intervention.

Due to measures like scorched-earth tactics, no fifth-rank Demon King remained in the area—only fourth-rank Great Demons.

These fourth-rank Great Demons struggled against even the weaker Lin Family cultivators.

Let alone the numerous protective formations.

And the myriad Lin Family Spirit Beasts.

These converging demonic beasts would only serve as opportunities for the Lin Family's younger generation to gain experience.

Thus, Lin Xianzhi and the others did not take action.

"Thanks, Shiming. Let this pill be saved for Shitao instead!" Lin Shijie tossed the Thunder Tribulation Pill back to Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming nodded, his face alight with joy.

He was naturally pleased that his elder brother had overcome the tribulation without needing the pill.

Moreover, Lin Shiming felt that Lin Shijie had refined not just a Sword Pill but also a superior-grade Golden Core—far surpassing Zi Xuan True Person.

Comparable even to Heavenly Sword True Person and Profound Sword True Person.

Lin Shiming's thoughts turned to Eastern Domain matters.

His recent emergence from seclusion was timely for considerations regarding the Eastern Domain, including returning there for ancestral rites.

This was a major event for the Lin Family, especially as the area contained the Yunzhong Palace Secret Realm and Chu Country's territory waiting for development.

Additionally, he had promised Red Leaf True Person to bring along some Ye Family members on the journey.

Lin Shiming planned to take some Lin Family members to the Eastern Domain as well—it was their ancestral land, after all.

Many Lin Family cultivators eagerly anticipated this journey.

Not to mention Chu Country's untouched territories and the potential opportunities in the Eastern Sea.

Though the Eastern Sea had fewer islands, its opportunities for cultivators remained abundant. Some were unusable by Spirit Beasts but invaluable to cultivators.

However, meticulous planning was required, as the Lin Family lacked sufficient capable cultivators.

With only three Golden Core cultivators in the family, Lin Shiming also pinned his hopes on Lin Shimo reaching a breakthrough.

Lin Shimo's chances of advancing seemed promising, followed by Lin Shilei, Lin Shitao, and Lin Xianzhi among others.

With these thoughts, Lin Shiming decided to nurture the Minor Divine Ability Fruit trees.

Years ago during the Golden Core trading conference, he had acquired a jade slip containing augmenting techniques for Minor Divine Ability.

Unfortunately, this technique only applied to abilities derived from the Minor Divine Ability Fruit.

It couldn't enhance abilities like Revival Wind or Light of Fate.

The tribulation soon disappeared, and breakthroughs to the Purple Mansion realm increased within the family, flourishing across Shuangmu Island.

The festive atmosphere brought joy to the elders.

Leading the breakthroughs was Lin Changxing.

Lin Changxing had reaped immense rewards from the Taihan Secret Realm, surpassing the Foundation Establishment Late Stage and now attempting a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion realm.

It was a testament to the immense advantage of the Heavenly Spirit Root!

Lin Shiming also turned his attention to his son, Lin Zeying, noticing that Zeying had now reached the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Moreover, his cultivation was steady, seemingly nearing a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

This brought some emotion to Lin Shiming.

The Lin Family's younger generation seemed poised to surpass the elders, driving him to strive harder.

With the Star Spirit Clam's breakthrough, Lin Shiming might struggle to improve his own cultivation further, but advancing his Body Refining cultivation was now an attainable goal.

After exchanging pleasantries following the breakthroughs, Lin Shiming entered the Cave Heaven.

Inside, the Star Spirit Clam lounged atop a pavilion, its shell open and exuding a sense of profound leisure.

Additionally, it was scattering abundant Star Spirit Fluff.

In the past, it would only release this fluff at night, but today, it spread it even in broad daylight, seemingly in delight!

A true display of generosity.
