Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

At the top of the tower was a dazzling Spiritual Pearl, shining like the sun itself.

In front of World Tower, numerous cultivators were meditating and cultivating.

These cultivators were divided into six factions.

The Qingxuan Sect cultivators in their blue Daoist robes, the Spirit Beast Sect cultivators in their brocade beast robes, the Spirit Talisman Sect cultivators in their Heavenly Talisman Daoist robes, the Wanjian Sect cultivators with heavy swords on their backs, the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators in black robes, brandishing their Heavenly Demon banners, and the cultivators from the Corpse Refining Sect with coffins placed before them.

Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi arrived at the Qingxuan Sect's area unobtrusively.

They soon caught sight of Xie An.

The latter, as a direct disciple of the Qingxuan Sect and with the strength at the peak of Foundation Establishment, was organizing the sect's cultivators along with a few other peak Foundation Establishment disciples.

As soon as Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi appeared, a great many gazes fell upon them, especially on Shiming, whose mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level made him stand out markedly.

There were even quite a few cultivators who sent him secret messages, blatantly threatening him.

Asking if he had the sword diagram from Taibai Sword Palace.

Telling him to hand it over.

Lin Shiming naturally ignored them, with the cultivators of Qingxuan Sect present, he truly did not believe they would make a move.

Now the six major factions, it could be said, were simply without sight of any substantive treasures; otherwise, they would have already started a fight to the death!

Add to this the fact that no one was confident, which was why things were calm, but the atmosphere was fraught with significant tension.

"Senior Brother Xie!" Lin Shiming called out to Xie An as soon as he finally had a moment to spare.

"Shiming, Xianzhi, you've arrived at last. I'm just about to enter the small world. Why don't you join me!" Xie An, too, spoke with some pleasure.

Scanning the area, Lin Shiming noticed that the other disciples who had accompanied Zi Xuan Hermit that day had seemingly already entered the small world. Xie An's invitation for him to come along was therefore quite normal.

Perhaps the latter also knew that this journey into the secret realm was far from simple.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Xie!" Lin Shiming immediately gestured with respectful hands.

For both of them, Xie An was the most familiar.

They had also fought together against demon cultivators before, and naturally preferred the company of an ally.

"Brother, we're new to World Tower and still unclear about it. Could you perhaps enlighten us?" Lin Shiming looked at the World Tower and noticed that the cultivators entering the tower seemed to be fully armed and well-prepared, so he asked Xie An.

"Shiming, this World Tower is essentially a Magical Treasure that seals the barrier of the small world; it was even accidentally discovered by a senior brother from Shen Ji Peak the last time, which triggered the appearance of the World Tower!"

"Acting as the barrier Magical Treasure, World Tower has become the entrance to the small world and also blocks the demonic beasts of the small world from entering this Profound Grade Secret Realm; it's a dual-seal doorway!"

"According to the sect's elder, this small world opens only once every thirty years!"

"In addition, World Tower will also screen the cultivators entering the small world, focusing on soul age and the quality of the Spirit Root, as well as strength!"

"Therefore, to enter the small world, cultivators must pass through the tower; passing through nine levels grants entry, while passing through eighteen layers will earn an additional Magic Artifact. For every nine layers passed, another treasure can be obtained, all the way up to the entire eighty-one layers!"

With Xie An's introduction, Lin Shiming was once again shocked; World Tower actually seemed like a selection process for true disciples!

This indeed greatly aroused the interest of both Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi,

especially Lin Xianzhi, who looked at Lin Shiming, extremely confident in the latter.

Lin Shiming, not yet fifty years old, had reached mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and had also developed Sword Intent. His Body Refinement cultivation was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment as well, making his overall strength comparable to that of peak Foundation Establishment, naturally making the tower challenges easier.

And this was also Lin Shiming's significant advantage.

Although there were no lack of cultivators with double or exotic Spirit Roots amongst all the cultivators, not many of those were present.

"It is said that reaching the eighty-first floor might even grant the Token of Inheritance from Taibai Sword Palace!" Xie An mentioned, a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Most cultivators lingering here either want to prepare well to challenge the tower, or because the tower only admits three people at a time!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming took a deep breath.

It was only natural to be moved by the Token of Inheritance from Taibai Sword Palace, but at the same time, he knew it wouldn't be easy.

"How safe is the tower challenge?" Lin Shiming asked again, this question being most crucial.

If his life was at risk in the tower challenge, he would not arrogantly disregard everything for treasure.

"Naturally, there's nothing to worry about!" Xie An declared.

"After all, we've watched for so long and haven't seen anyone in danger; they've all entered the respective floor of the tower!"

"And some cultivators have already returned from the tower!" Xie An spoke freely, sharing all the information he knew.

This information was no secret, as anyone who stayed here for a moment would naturally understand that the tower posed no danger to cultivators.

There was nothing about it that violated any sect rules.

Besides, he and Lin Shiming were both under the orders of the Zi Xuan Hermit.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming also nodded, finally feeling relieved.

With this in mind, he could indeed give it a try.

However, the only thing that puzzled him was the use of a tower to guard the entrance to the mini-world; he found it perplexing.

Under normal circumstances, inheritance steps or inheritance palaces were the usual methods!

Of course, he didn't think too much of it since inside the mini-world, there was a Taibai Sword Palace and a Myriad Swords Tomb, so adding a World Tower seemed reasonable enough.

While Lin Shiming pondered, three cultivators from the Spirit Beast Sect made their way toward the World Tower.

All three were young, and their cultivation levels were all at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Each of them carried three or four bulging Spirit Beast Bags and held Supreme Grade magic artifacts and Spirit Talismans as they walked toward the World Tower.

As the three entered,

the first floor of the World Tower suddenly lit up.

It was as if the trial had begun.

And in the direction of the Spirit Beast Sect cultivators, several other cultivators looked on in anticipation.

"Given their age, the first floor should be a Third Rank mid-stage Spirit Beast!"

"The second floor would be two!"

...

"And so on!"

Xie An continued to explain to Lin Shiming.

As expected, three streams of Spirit Light quickly ascended floor by floor up the tower.

Clearly, the Spirit Beasts they encountered were not very strong.

They soon reached the ninth floor of the World Tower.

"Shiming, you've been cultivating for less than fifty years, haven't you?" Xie An suddenly asked.

Lin Shiming nodded, as this was no secret within the Lin Family and there was nothing for him to hide.

"Then the first floor you'll face should be a Third Rank early-stage Demonic Beast. You might try to be the second one to reach the ninety-ninth floor!" Xie An said, somewhat excitedly.

He was well aware of Lin Shiming's strength and knew Lin Shiming had several rather impressive Spirit Beasts.

For the tower he would face, even at the ninety-ninth floor, he would only need to confront nine Third Rank late-stage Demonic Beasts!

"Senior Brother flatters me too much. It's not that easy. If I can reach the forty-fifth floor, that would already be an achievement," Lin Shiming humbly replied, not seriously considering the ninety-ninth floor.

"You really should give it a try. Speaking of which, the previous cultivator who made it to the eighty-first floor was from the Spirit Talisman Sect, and he exchanged for the Shen Ji Tower's replica magical artifact!" Xie An continued to speak, a hint of envy in his eyes.

He was also looking forward to seeing such a cultivator emerge from the Qingxuan Sect.

Because of that cultivator reaching the top floor, the disciples of the Spirit Talisman Sect had a bit of swagger.

And given his own age, the first floor might face him with a Third Rank late-stage Demonic Beast. By the eighty-first floor, he might even encounter a Purple Mansion Demonic Beast.

Among the three cultivators from the Spirit Beast Sect, one triggered a white light on the thirty-second floor, while the other two activated dazzling white light on the thirty-sixth floor.

The appearance of the white light also meant that the three of them had entered the mini-world.

As the three concluded their trial, three cultivators from the Corpse Refining Sect stepped forward, heading toward the World Tower.

A new round of tower challenges was about to begin!

"Shiming, Xianzhi, meditate for a while to recover. Once you're both ready, let's attempt the tower together," Xie An said.

Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi both nodded in agreement, especially Lin Shiming, whose system prompts for the day had been used up, and adjusting his state suited him perfectly!
