Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Adding the remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refining Gate, there are indeed many things that need attention.

"Daoist Lin, may I ask how do we address these fellow Daoists?" Shen Fu True Person asked further.

Clearly, this was an attempt to probe their background.

"This is my clansman, and these two are Guest Elders of the Lin Family!" Lin Shiming introduced.

Jiuxiao True Person, Lin Shiming estimated that Shen Fu True Person might know of him, as well as Lin Shijie.

Even Xu Ye True Person might have some vague understanding.

Shen Fu True Person feigned ignorance, intentionally inquiring, evidently reminding Lin Shiming not to bring Southern Sea forces into the mix.

"This is Shen Fu True Person from the Spirit Talisman Sect!" Lin Shiming also introduced him to Xu Ye True Person.

"Daoist Shen Fu must be aware that our Lin Family, forced by the pressures of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refining Gate, left the Eastern Domain and went into hiding. Today, we intend to visit our ancestral grounds in Yunzhou, Zhao Kingdom, to rebuild the ancestral shrine!" Lin Shiming explained.

Upon hearing this, Shen Fu True Person showed a troubled expression.

"Daoist Lin's actions are indeed righteous, but Qingyun Market has already fallen, and most of Yunzhou, where your Lin Family is based, has been overrun by Demonic Beasts!"

"No matter, I will handle this personally!" Lin Shiming nodded resolutely.

Lin Shiming had heard of the strength of the Cloud Flood Dragon Emperor, allegedly far surpassing even Jiuye True Monarch. In recent years, the Spirit Beast Sect and Spirit Talisman Sect have been in constant retreat.

Currently, the situation in Yunzhou is dire, with most of the territory in the hands of demonic beasts.

Moreover, due to Yunzhong Palace, which previously existed within Youzhou's borders,

The demonic beasts will not abandon the neighboring Yunzhou.

"No problem, it's merely ancestral worship. This time, we're here to retrieve the clansmen on that side and move them to Chu Country!" Lin Shiming didn't hold back.

For now, Yunzhou's Shuangmu Peak remains uninhabitable, as it's near Yunzhong Palace and Yunzhong Realm.

The Lin Family's mortals and cultivators would undoubtedly suffer.

Most importantly, Zhao Kingdom can no longer accommodate the Lin Family.

Two Nascent Soul powers and one Golden Core power.

Lin Shiming also suspected that the Qingxuan Sect might be on the verge of elevating to Nascent Soul status given its ample inheritance.

Thus, relocating to Chu Country was the best choice for the Lin Family.

But even so, a return to Shuangmu Island remains necessary.

Previously, they retaliated against the Chu Family and took away many of the family's mortals. However, that operation was hasty.

In Yunzhou, there are still many Lin Family mortals, whose numbers have significantly grown over the years of propagation.

While exchanging polite conversation with Shen Fu True Person, Lin Shiming learned from the latter about notable treasures recently discovered within Yunzhong Realm, including Five Thousand Year Spirit Medicine and Thousand Year Spirit Medicine.

This news left Lin Shiming somewhat restless, as he also yearned to try his luck in Yunzhong Realm.

But at the moment, it was clearly impractical.

"By the way, Daoist Lin, if you're heading to Chu Country, be cautious recently. The Corpse Refining Gate and certain cultivators from the Northern Plains and Western Desert seem to be exhibiting unusual movements!" Shen Fu True Person advised before departing.

After bidding farewell to Shen Fu True Person, Lin Shiming commanded the War Treasure Ship to sail into the distance.

Soon, it turned into a mere shadow.

Eventually, even the shadow disappeared.

On White Fu True Person's face, the courteous demeanor quickly transformed into gloominess.

Shen Fu True Person's expression grew increasingly cold.

"Senior Brother Shen Fu, why must we be so deferential to him? Thunder Fu Elder has clearly already come out of seclusion!" White Fu True Person asked with a mix of puzzlement and anger.

"Do you think the Heavenly Demon True Person and Liu He True Person are so easy to deal with?"

"Those two are already dead!"

"Moreover, the War Treasure Ship, which even Jiuye True Monarch couldn't extract from the Qingxuan Sect's Secret Techniques, has now appeared in the Lin Family. You should understand its significance!" Shen Fu True Person coldly replied.

These words caused White Fu True Person's hesitation and eventually forced him to bite his teeth and leave.

...

Aboard the Fifth Rank War Treasure Ship, Lin Shiming took out Ice Crystal Spirit Fruits and directly shared them with everyone.

The reason Lin Shiming was so generous was largely due to these Ice Crystal Spirit Fruits.

These Spirit Fruits only existed in the Eastern Domain; at least, Lin Shiming had not seen them in the Southern Sea.

As they ate the Spirit Fruits, many were in low spirits.

They all wished to visit Yunzhou and Fangmu Mountain, even though they knew the place might have been reduced to ruins. Still, their hearts lingered there.

This time was different from the last; the Lin Family was previously seeking revenge while evading the Heavenly Demon Sect, proceeding cautiously.

This time, they were truly returning in triumph.

The feeling was naturally different.

The Fifth Rank War Treasure Ship sped quickly, soon soaring through the clouds. The mountain silhouettes in the distant horizon grew increasingly familiar.

The familiarity felt strangely eerie, given the changing landscapes over the years. Logically, the terrain should have been significantly altered. Yet everyone felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.

Even the clouds in the sky, the shadow of a distant bird, the towering trees, and the wide rivers.

At this moment, everything seemed strikingly familiar.

Soon, they finally arrived before a low hill.

Before the hill stood a massive county town. Its city walls were constructed of colossal dark green stones, inscribed with Spirit Patterns.

Meanwhile, not far from the city walls, numerous cultivators were engaged in battle.

The cultivators' highest level was Foundation Establishment. The lowest level was Qi Cultivation, cautiously fending off the beast tide!

This sight deeply moved Lin Shiming.

Because those cultivators were clad in the Lin Family's ceremonial robes.

The Lin Family, since its inception five or six centuries ago, had never changed its tradition.

Evidently, mortal descendants of the Lin Family had emerged as cultivators again.

They had taken up the torch of the Lin Family, continuing to protect its mortal members.

"Seventh Uncle!" Behind Lin Shiming, Lin Zelu could no longer suppress his excitement.

"Go now, eliminate these Spirit Beasts!" Lin Shiming commanded decisively.

All the Lin Family members charged forward. At that moment, everyone's eyes turned red, slaughtering every demonic beast on sight.

The strongest of those demonic beasts was only Third Rank.

For the Lin Family, they posed no threat, and were quickly wiped out.

In the forest, the leading Foundation Establishment cultivator gazed at hundreds of new cultivators clad in the same robes as theirs and the colossal Spirit Boat in the sky.

To them, the Spirit Boat was like an island, a divine miracle.

The largest Spirit Boat they had ever seen in Qingzhou was nowhere near its size.

"Fifteenth Uncle, how could there be such coincidence in this world, people wearing identical robes as us?" Beside the elder was a clever and spirited young girl.

She looked at Lin Yanyu, her heart brimming with joy.

Due to Yunzhou's abandonment, the demonic beasts had grown increasingly rampant. It was said that near the borders of Youzhou and Yunzhou, even the Spirit Beast Sect, Qingxuan Sect, and Spirit Talisman Sect struggled against the beast tide emanating from Qingyun Mountain Range.

Mortals, unable to flee, had no access to large Spirit Boats and could only establish city settlements, hoping for the beast tide to recede.

However, in truth, the tide had only worsened.

Today, as many as three Third Rank demonic beasts appeared.

Now, witnessing the arrival of saviors, the locals were naturally overjoyed. At this moment, the younger cultivators even presumed these reinforcements to be from the Qingxuan Sect or the Myriad Swords Sect.

"Are you people of the Lin Family?" At this time, Lin Houshou spoke.

The elder instantly burst into tears.

"I am Lin Yanyu of the 'Yan' generation, an unworthy descendant, temporarily serving as Deputy Patriarch of the Lin Family. I beg the main family not to abandon us any further!" Lin Yanyu cried emotionally.

He was not from the first generation of remaining cultivators.

But rather a descendant of the remaining cultivators, possessing Spirit Roots, dual Spirit Roots to be precise.

His cultivation progressed swiftly, quickly breaking through Foundation Establishment. From his father, he learned about the Lin Family's existence and its history.

Decades ago, he personally witnessed Fangmu Mountain being seized and destroyed by the Chu Family.

He returned to this place, secretly gathering Lin Family mortals and cultivators, leveraging his Foundation Establishment status to form a small family unit.

He often contemplated abandoning this pursuit, but his father steadfastly assured him that the Lin Family would return.

So, he held unwavering faith.

"Are you Houshou Ancestor and Seventh Uncle Shiming?" Lin Yanyu asked.

"Indeed!" Both Lin Shiming and Lin Houshou nodded simultaneously.

"Changxue, quickly pay respects to the esteemed ancestors. You have a chance to achieve Golden Core in the future!" Lin Yanyu said excitedly to the young girl beside him.
