Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Eastern Domain, Qingxuan Mountain, Qingxuan Sect.

Profound Sword True Person sat within the courtyard on the mountain peak as several middle-aged sword cultivators hurried in.

"Uncle-Master Profound Sword, something terrible has happened! Many cultivators from the Corpse Refining Gate are heading toward Chu Country."

"Has the Lin Family returned?" Profound Sword True Person lifted his gaze.

He appeared slightly perplexed.

"Yes, they returned a few days ago and even humiliated the Spirit Beast Sect in the Qingyun Mountain range."

"Leave it be. What matters most now is waiting for the Heavenly Sword to attain Dao. Only by achieving Dao can our Qingxuan Sect hope to rise. For now, we merely survive under the Spirit Beast Sect and Spirit Talisman Sect." Profound Sword True Person shook his head.

Years of turmoil had left him rarely affected by emotions anymore.

Currently, the Eastern Domain was in utter chaos.

The Corpse Refining Gate had a Nascent Soul True Monarch; the Spirit Beast Sect and Spirit Talisman Sect had one as well. It was said that even the Myriad Swords Sect possessed one.

As for Demonic Beasts, there was no need to elaborate—they certainly had more than one.

Even cultivators who previously frequented Yunzhong Palace had become fewer.

That place had become akin to hell; hardly anyone returned with treasures.

Even those who managed to obtain them were forced to relinquish them.

Without Nascent Soul strength, one dared not approach the Yunzhong Realm.

"All we can do is wait!" Profound Sword True Person spoke again.

The two cultivators nodded in agreement, still puzzled as to why their sect assigned Chu Country to the Lin Family.

They were equally baffled as to why the sect wouldn't assist the Lin Family.

But as Profound Sword True Person stated, their sect currently couldn't measure up to any other sect.

"Focus on cultivation!" Profound Sword True Person sighed deeply and gestured for them to leave.

The few cultivators nodded repeatedly and withdrew from the courtyard.

...

Iron Cavern, the Lin Family's War Treasure Ship, continued hovering high in the air, systematically clearing any potential threats nearby.

At the valley mouth, numerous new structures had risen again.

These buildings were arranged in specific formations, forming a pattern of formations within formations.

This design ensured that no cultivators could use concealment magical treasures to infiltrate the Lin Family's Iron Cavern.

The sky today was also an unblemished blue, pristine and devoid of white clouds.

Suddenly, in the distance, a colossal coffin appeared.

The coffin seemed like a small mountain, its length and height immeasurable.

Majestic and towering, it gradually came into view, becoming increasingly distinct.

Simultaneously, massive dark clouds unfurled behind the coffin.

"Enemy attack, activate the formation!" Lin Shijie ascended first, followed by Jiuxiao True Person and the nearby Xu Ye True Person.

At this moment, Xu Ye True Person looked at Lin Shijie.

"Daoist Lin, where is Daoist Qian Mu?" Xu Ye True Person's eyes showed a hint of unease, mixed with a flicker of anger.

It appeared that Lin Shiming had departed from the island.

This was fatal to an explorer.

Of course, the flash of anger swiftly passed, and she concealed it once more.

She knew she wasn't in a position to speak at the moment.

If something truly happened, her best option was to preserve herself.

After all, she had little acquaintance with Lin Shiming. Even with Red Leaf True Person backing him, staying wouldn't solve anything.

She sensed the Spirit Might of the True Monarch.

While Xu Ye True Person's thoughts raced incessantly, Lin Shijie, on the other side, repeatedly used the Lin Family's Myriad Thousand Jade to send out messages.

Fortunately, at that moment, the transmission formation near the valley mouth lit up, and Lin Shiming's figure appeared above it.

Meanwhile, the distant coffin came closer, its size rivaling the Lin Family's Fifth Rank War Treasure Ship.

Moreover, atop the coffin stood countless cultivators wearing corpse refinement robes.

The leading cultivator was someone Lin Shiming was not unfamiliar with—it was Thousand Corpses True Person.

Years ago, Corpse Refining Gate's most formidable was Nine Corpses True Person, though the latter was taken by Shen Ji True Person during Shen Ji's final breakthrough.

Now, Thousand Corpses True Person had ascended to Thousand Corpses True Monarch.

Beside Thousand Corpses True Monarch stood another figure familiar to Lin Shiming—Heavenly Corpse True Person, who controlled the Flood Dragon corpse.

At present, Heavenly Corpse True Person was also at the Golden Core Late Stage.

Lin Shiming estimated that the Corpse Refining Gate, Spirit Beast Sect, and other such sects had likely obtained substantial treasures from Yunzhong Realm.

Otherwise, the sheer number of Nascent Soul cultivators and True Persons emerging from these immortal cultivation factions wouldn't be possible.

Now it seemed the Eastern Domain's strength was not far behind the Southern Sea.

"Young one from the Lin Family, you've truly grown into a force to be reckoned with!" For True Monarchs and True Persons, their memories were naturally sharp.

Upon seeing Lin Shiming, they couldn't help but sigh.

The leading Thousand Corpses True Monarch was particularly arrogant.

Standing atop the coffin, looking down at Lin Shiming with a condescending glare.

"Hand over the traitor Demon Corpse True Person's storage bag and all treasures. I'll give you three breaths to end your life voluntarily, or today I'll turn you into my first headless corpse!"

"Oh? After all these years, has the Corpse Refining Gate learned nothing but arrogance?" Lin Shiming laughed heartily as he ascended into the sky, surpassing Thousand Corpses True Monarch's height.

He swiftly exited the Iron Cavern's formation.

In his hand, the Taiyi Grass Sword swung, unleashing boundless waves of sword light.

A Sword Domain unfurled around him, gathering into a vast field of ethereal sword energy.

"Good, you possess some skill. But today, I'll show you what it means for a True Monarch to be unassailable!" Thousand Corpses True Monarch summoned a pitch-black claw, swiping it directly at Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming responded by slashing out a Heaven-Slaying strike.

The terrifying Sword Intent clashed with the black claw.

But it was evident that Lin Shiming's attack fell short, and the claw shattered his strike.

Thousand Corpses True Monarch curved his lips into a smile.

Yet the next moment, his eyes narrowed sharply.

From within the void, a streak of crimson blood-colored sword light emerged unnoticed.

It instantly tore apart his claw and surged toward him.

The attack was unimaginably fierce.

Thousand Corpses True Monarch hastily stomped on the coffin, causing hundreds of flying corpses to erupt from within.

Among these flying corpses were eighty Fourth Rank flying corpses, twenty Fifth Rank flying corpses.

There were Yin-Yang Spirit Corpses and Five Elements Heavenly Armor Corpses, each ferocious and formidable.

They rushed toward the Qiu Xue Sword.

However, no matter the number of spirit corpses, they were all swept away in the Qiu Xue Sword's Blood Sword Lake domain.

Soon, every last one of them was annihilated.

The Qiu Xue Sword once again charged toward Thousand Corpses True Monarch.

Feeling immensely frustrated, Thousand Corpses True Monarch summoned a pitch-black hook magical treasure.

He slashed at the Qiu Xue Sword, managing to hold it off, albeit at a disadvantage.

Clearly, Thousand Corpses True Monarch had only recently broken through.

His offensive techniques as a cultivator were still those of a True Person.

He could only barely defend himself, and at this moment, Heavenly Corpse True Person flew out, his gaze fixed on the sword.

He seemed to be pondering: if they killed Lin Shiming, would this Sixth Rank treasure sword become theirs?

At the thought, Heavenly Corpse True Person's eyes gleamed with determination.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed five Flood Dragon corpses, four Serpent Corpses, all alongside Heavenly Corpse True Person himself, charging at Lin Shiming.

Each of these spirit corpses exuded overpowering force.

Faced with the incoming spirit corpses, Lin Shiming displayed no fear but instead a fiery anticipation.

He had tested the waters against a Nascent Soul cultivator earlier and felt momentarily deflated.

But now, with his breakthroughs in Divine Sense and Sword Domain, this was the perfect opportunity to sharpen his blade.
