Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Lin Shiming did not stay long on Shuangmu Island; he merely left a jade slip for Lin Shimo, instructing him to consolidate his cultivation and then head to the Eastern Domain.

The Heavy Iron Cavern remained quite significant to the Lin Family, as its Yin energy could nurture many Yin-attribute spiritual medicines.

For the Lin Family, such secret realms might not be abundant, but they were still essential.

After all, the Lin Family was now a prominent clan spanning across two cultivation worlds.

As for Lin Shimo, being a corpse cultivator, the Five Elements Heavenly Corpse in that location would be beneficial for him, as would his cultivation progress.

Moreover, the key issue was how the Lin Family's corpse refinement techniques and blood-related cultivation methods would be developed in the future.

The Lin Family did not restrict its members from practicing any cultivation techniques, but it had clear boundaries: no slaughtering mortals, no blood sacrifices involving mortals—even someone like Lin Shimo.

His corpse refinement relied either on the corpses of demonic beasts or on the remains of rival clans.

As for mortals and indiscriminate killings, he had never engaged in them.

This was also why his Dao Heart had always remained resolute.

After heading to Five Flame Mountain, Lin Shiming proceeded to the family council hall to understand the current situation of the family. After doing so, he nodded slightly.

In his hand, several pieces of cold jade appeared once again.

Among them was a piece of Thousand Year Cold Jade.

This Thousand Year Cold Jade was recently collected by the Lin Family and was considered quite a large piece.

Surely, Lin Shiming could not visit Myriad Buddhas Island empty-handed; otherwise, even if Golden Light True Buddha showed favor for the sake of the Qiu Xue Sword, it would leave Lin Shiming with an immense personal debt of gratitude.

After all, a Fifth-Rank Superior Grade Buddha Formation was no trivial treasure, as it contained matters of inheritance.

A smaller piece of Thousand Year Cold Jade might not suffice.

In addition, he also prepared several top-grade Spirit Stones.

The top-grade Spirit Stones collected by the Lin Family were almost exclusively reserved for him.

Unlike the Thousand Year Cold Jade, which could be utilized even by cultivators in the Purple Mansion or Golden Core stages, top-grade Spirit Stones could only be absorbed by Lin Shiming, Lin Shijie, and Lin Shimo.

Their spiritual energy was beyond the absorption capacity of others.

However, to Lin Shiming's surprise, Lei Xuan had also begun his breakthrough.

As one of the cultivators stationed in the Heavenly Thunder Secret Realm, he had been cultivating there for a long time—and had actually reached this opportunity before Lin Shilei.

He started his breakthrough.

Lin Shiming naturally felt elated about this; if the Lin Family could gain another Golden Core True Person with a Thunder Spirit Root, its future suppressive power would be even greater.

Lin Shiming exited the council hall and proceeded towards the peak of Five Flame Mountain, where the Lin Family's Northern Sword Pavilion was located, along with several Soul Summoning Swords.

Having placed a Fifth-Order Top-Grade Spirit Vein in the Northern Sword Pavilion, the spiritual energy there had reached its pinnacle, even showing faint signs of becoming a Sixth-Order Spirit Vein.

This made Lin Shiming deeply pleased.

Though the transition from Fifth Order to Sixth Order would still require a long time and further investment in spirit veins, the mere hope was promising.

Such is the nature of immortal cultivation.

"Senior Qiu Xue, I fear I must trouble you once more!" Lin Shiming spoke.

Walking into the Northern Sword Pavilion, Lin Shiming found crimson spiritual energy surging throughout the pavilion. On the Sword Ladder, it was as though a volcano was ready to erupt at any moment.

The commotion spread across the entire pavilion.

Even the Qiu Xue Sword was positioned at the entrance of the pavilion this time, seemingly guarding the Flaming Sword, with the Feifu Sword and Minglun Sword standing vigil beside it.

"No need for concern!" Qiu Xue Sword replied with a nod. At that moment, Qiu Xue Sword was embedded in a slab of Thousand Year Cold Jade.

As a water-attribute Flying Sword, Lin Shiming naturally ensured fairness; currently, Qiu Xue Sword represented the Lin Family's strongest combat capability.

After bringing along the Qiu Xue Sword, Lin Shiming glanced at the Flaming Sword in the sky, then exited the Northern Sword Pavilion and took a seat on the Transmission Formation.

The Transmission Formation directly led to the Redwood Archipelago.

As the radiance of the formation lit up, a completely new archipelago appeared before him.

The layout of the mountains had changed; the markets had shifted as well.

The number of cultivators on the islands had also dwindled.

Lin Shiming scanned the entire island with his Divine Sense; then, he shook his head.

But he said nothing.

He understood that this was not due to poor management by the family, but rather because the Ye Family had relocated to Golden Thunder Island, taking away a large number of affiliated cultivators.

As well as several spirit veins.

Currently, the most valuable aspect of the Red Leaf Archipelago was the countless large-scale transmission formation networks he had left behind.

The transmission formations here could connect to Myriad Buddhas Island, Qian Ji Island, Tianliu Island, Coral Island, and other places.

These transmission formations did not appear on Shuangmu Island. Of course, this was not because the Lin Family lacked the capability.

Rather, it was that the Lin Family did not wish for transmission formations to interweave across their Shuangmu Island.

In fact, having intermediate transmission formation islands was more suitable for the Lin Family.

And sometimes, more convenient.

Lin Shiming did not linger on the Red Leaf Archipelago and directly boarded another transmission formation, heading toward Myriad Buddhas Island.

To access Myriad Buddhas Island, one must first transmit to Golden Jade Island.

This island served as the intermediary between Myriad Buddhas Island and the Coral Alliance—just as Yuntie Island connected the Heavenly Illumination Sea Domain, Golden Jade Island connected the Coral Sea Domain.

Golden Jade Island was said to have been the starting point of Golden Jade True Buddha's path of enlightenment.

Golden Jade True Buddha had painstakingly cultivated from an ordinary novice monk to a True Buddha comparable to a Nascent Soul True Monarch, achieving everything through sheer effort.

For this reason, many cultivators of Myriad Buddhas Island regarded Golden Jade Island as a place of pilgrimage.

Only when they made their way to Myriad Buddhas Island would they consider it a path to ascension.

Upon disembarking from the transmission formation, Lin Shiming saw countless novice monks moving to and fro atop the formation.

He observed many dome-shaped buildings adorned with circular beads and golden spires.

Numerous Buddha Pagodas had been erected across the island, alongside streets lined with Buddha Scrolls and Sutras.

In contrast, there were far fewer other cultivators; even those from different sea domains wore monastic robes.

It seemed they had fully integrated into this place.

Some novice monks were even prostrating with each step, heading toward Golden Jade Mountain.

Lin Shiming did not comprehend such fanaticism, but he could not deny its formidable influence.

After all, among the six great sea domains, the two most powerful undeniably remained Myriad Buddhas Island and the Blood Cultivation Sect.

Even though the other sea domains differed marginally, the disparity was still significant.

Lin Shiming left the transmission formation and donned a guest's monastic robe as he approached the island's central region.

For cultivators of uncertain origin, gaining access to Myriad Buddhas Island was not simple.

Since it was the heart of the Myriad Buddhas Sea Domain, legend had it that the island was cradled in a colossal Buddha's palm.

To meet Golden Light True Buddha, Lin Shiming needed to first communicate with Laiyu True Person.

Laiyu True Person, the current island master of Golden Jade Island, was a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator reportedly close to breaking through to Nascent Soul.

However, he ascended from being a common novice monk of Myriad Buddhas Island and held great reverence for Golden Jade True Buddha, refusing excessive gifts from the island.

"Friend Qian Mu, long time no see!" Laiyu Palace's Laiyu True Person walked out of the palace, holding a Buddhist staff.

"Friend Laiyu, your reputation precedes you. I must apologize for my intrusion!" Lin Shiming replied.

"Friend Qian Mu, you jest. Fickle fame is the least of concerns for those of us who have renounced worldly ties!" Laiyu True Person responded.
