Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

The Sabretooth Tiger was slashed into pieces, and behind the Pentagram Light Formation appeared a set of stairs.

Lin Shiming climbed the stairs to the second level of the World Tower.

The second level featured a Split Wind Wolf, whose strength was obviously a notch above that of the Sabretooth Tiger.

But it was still within the category of a Third Rank mid-stage Demonic Beast and was also dispatched with a single sword strike by Lin Shiming.

The third level had two Third Rank mid-stage Demonic Beasts, the fourth level had two stronger ones.

The fifth level had three!

And so on!

This did differ somewhat from what Xie An had said. It seemed that depending on one's age and cultivation level, the number and strength of the Spirit Beasts would vary.

However, fortunately for Lin Shiming, he had reached the point where he could instantly slay Third Rank mid-stage Demonic Beasts with his Flying Sword without even needing to use vines.

After breaking through eight consecutive levels, Lin Shiming arrived at the ninth level.

Unlike the previous eight levels, the layout inside the ninth-level tower was clearly more profound. The wall scrolls had turned into murals, and the Moonlight Stones had transformed into the Spirit Light Formation embedded within the tower.

Most importantly, the Pentagram Light Formation before his eyes had turned into a Hexagram Formation.

The next moment, as the Hexagram Formation lit up, a Three-Headed Flame Wolf, as large as a water buffalo, stormed out.

The fur of the Three-Headed Flame Wolf burned continuously like flames, and within its three pairs of diamond-shaped pupils flickered a thick bloodthirst!

To Lin Shiming's great surprise, this Three-Headed Flame Wolf was a real Demonic Beast, not the mere phantoms from before.

Its strength had also evolved from a Third Rank mid-stage Demonic Beast to a late-stage one.

As soon as the Three-Headed Flame Wolf appeared, its three fiery-red heads let out a howl, which was so powerful that the echo lingered in the tower for a long time.

Immediately afterward, the beast opened its huge mouth, revealing its fierce fangs. Spirit Light converged, and the next moment, it spewed out a massive amount of flames.

Lin Shiming quickly took out the Rolling Divine Plate, and the sizable artifact blocked all the flames. Following that, the Divine Plate started spinning rapidly.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The attack of Divine Sense struck directly at the soul of the Three-Headed Flame Wolf.

This caused the beast to roar incessantly, its three huge heads spewing fire like crazy, and the temperature inside the entire tower soared to an extremely frightening level in an instant.

Meanwhile, a streak of sword light, unbeknownst to when, broke through the flames and directly decapitated two of the Three-Headed Flame Wolf's heads, leaving only the middle one.

The entire Three-Headed Flame Wolf yelped in pain.

And the Rolling Divine Plate forcefully crashed down onto the Three-Headed Flame Wolf, pinning it flat to the ground.

Lin Shiming's Flying Sword stood proudly in the air, and instead of striking again, his hands began to form one Spirit Art after another.

The Spirit Light of the Art was immensely dense and had been compressed countless times.

Finally, with a cold shout from Lin Shiming, a palm-sized imprint of Spirit Light appeared in his hand.

It was the Spirit Controlling Seal.

This Spirit Controlling Seal was, just like the Soul Binding Forbidden, a Secret Technique. In the Profound Grade Secret Realm, Lin Shiming had not seen any Third Rank late-stage Demonic Beasts, and he felt that common Third Rank mid-stage ones did not warrant the use of the Spirit Controlling Seal.

However, this Three-Headed Flame Wolf was the perfect candidate.

Imbued with a formidable might, the Seal flew towards the last head of the Three-Headed Flame Wolf. Under the beast's indignant and raging fury, the Seal entered the forehead of the only remaining head.

The next moment, Lin Shiming felt a connection in his mind as a tinier imprint of the Seal formed in his sea of consciousness, taking the very form of the Three-Headed Flame Wolf.

And the light from the Seal gradually faded.

Lin Shiming knew from the start that the Spirit Controlling Seal had a limited duration.

And he presumed that once the Seal in his mind faded away, the Three-Headed Flame Wolf would completely break free from his control.

"Get up!" Lin Shiming put away the Rolling Divine Plate and issued a command to the Three-Headed Flame Wolf.

Although the beast was extremely unwilling and furious, it obediently complied, sitting like a watchful mountain dog.

This was the domineering power of the Spirit Controlling Seal.

Lin Shiming then controlled the Three-Headed Flame Wolf to perform other actions, which it did without fault.

This put his mind at ease.

With the Spirit Controlling Seal, he could continue to control Spirit Beasts within the tower. At critical moments, unleashing them together would be incredibly potent.

Lin Shiming was always clear about his own strengths; his greatest fighting ability was not his Sword technique.

While the Grass Sword Art combined with his Sword Intent could deliver terrifying attacks, it was just too draining. Even with his three Spirit Platforms, it was not sustainable.

But it was his Wood Attribute vines, especially the Poisonous Dragon Vine!

When controlled and combined with these Demonic Beasts, as well as his Sword Array and Sword Intent, it became his most powerful tactic.

As the Three-Headed Flame Wolf was put away,

a staircase re-emerged behind the Hexagram Formation.

Lin Shiming consumed an Elixir to restore his True Yuan, but rather than proceeding directly, he sat in meditation for a while before heading towards the tenth level.

Upon reaching the tenth floor of the tower, as expected, the Hexagram Formation turned into a Pentagram, and once again, Spirit Beast phantoms appeared instead of Demonic Beasts.

Only this time, the strength of the Demonic Beasts indeed reached the late phase of the Third Rank.

Lin Shiming couldn't just wield his sword to slay them like he did on the previous floors; instead, he needed to use the Rolling Divine Plate and the Laiyun Sword, two Supreme Grade Magic Artifacts, together.

As he advanced floor by floor, Lin Shiming reached the eighteenth level.

The walls were thick, covered with Spirit Light Formations emitting a faint luminescence.

And on the floor of the tower level, a Demonic Beast appeared within the Hexagram Formation once again; this time, it was a late Third Rank Green-red Python.

The python's body was covered with green and red scales, and it had a long forked tongue and cold, triangular pupils!

Upon its arrival, it fiercely swung its massive head to strike Lin Shiming.

The speed was terrifying!

Lin Shiming had only managed to throw out the Rolling Divine Plate, but the head of the Green-red Python, as large as a mountain, simply smashed through the Rolling Divine Plate.

Lin Shiming had no choice but to release four sets of the Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Formation.

As the purple wood sword light rampaged, the python's armor-like huge head was violently thrashed around.

With terrifying speed, along with its armor-like head, the four sword arrays began shaking uncontrollably.

However, in the next moment, numerous Purple Gold Vine seeds, unbeknownst to when, crawled out from the bottom of the tower, entangling the Green-red Python thoroughly.

The golden spears from the Spirit Root shot continuously onto the scales of the Green-red Python, bouncing off a myriad of golden, spark-like flakes!

Meanwhile, the Rolling Divine Plate expanded to its maximum size and furiously smashed onto the head of the Green-red Python.

Lin Shiming then wielded the Laiyun Sword, infusing it with the Grass Sword Art, and immediately a vicious scar was left on the head of the Green-red Python, from which blood spurted profusely.

The Split Spirit Decision and the Shocking God Drum rang out at the same time, causing the Green-red Python's mouth to open as wide as possible, emitting a furious and begrudged roar.

In the next moment, Lin Shiming's Spirit Controlling Seal also landed on the head of the Green-red Python.

With a new seal appearing in Lin Shiming's sea of consciousness, it signified that he had taken control of his second late Third Rank Demonic Beast.

And this one was even stronger than the Three-Headed Flame Wolf, with fewer injuries.

Lin Shiming, with his Spirit Beast Bag, put away the Green-red Python once more.

The Hexagram Formation flickered again, yet what appeared this time was a red wooden table.

There was an incense burner, as well as a piece of Spirit Armor Magic Artifact.

The Spirit Armor Magic Artifact was merely of Superior Grade Third Rank, which to Lin Shiming was only average, leaving him somewhat disappointed.

It couldn't compare to his Star Wood Shield, but since he feared being monitored, he didn't dare to take out the Star Wood Shield. Instead, this Superior Grade Spirit Shield was still good for protection; otherwise, he had to use the Rolling Divine Plate as a defense Magic Artifact during critical moments.

Lin Shiming picked up the Spirit Armor, glanced at the incense burner, which seemed somewhat empty in front of it. Supposedly, there should have been a wooden plaque or a scroll behind it.

When Lin Shiming touched the incense burner, he found that it was fixed to the table, and the table itself was fixed to the tower. As he attempted to use the Flying Sword, the table also vanished.

Lin Shiming had no choice but to continue upwards towards the nineteenth level.

The nineteenth level still had late Third Rank Demonic Beast phantoms, but their strength had increased significantly.

Yet under Lin Shiming's Purple Gold Vine, Rolling Divine Plate, and Laiyun Sword, they still couldn't hold their ground.
Your journey continues with empire

However, he had to consume more and more Elixirs to restore his True Yuan.

Fortunately, the tower did not prohibit the restoration of True Yuan inside, and given that his True Yuan capacity was not the least bit inferior to the late Foundation Establishment phase,

he was able to charge up to the twenty-seventh level again, where he used the Spirit Controlling Seal to take command of a Golden Rhino.

This Golden Rhino's strength was very formidable among the late Third Rank Demonic Beasts.

Lin Shiming deployed the Poisonous Dragon Vine this time and took out the Primordial Magnet Seal with the help of the Red-haired Demon Monkey, successfully subduing the tough and resilient Golden Rhino and then taming it with the Spirit Controlling Seal.

However, the reward for this level was still a Superior Grade Third Rank Magic Artifact, yet another offensive artifact, which was somewhat inferior to the Spirit Armor from the eighteenth level.
