Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Inside the cave heaven, the Fire Phoenix finished consuming the Spirit Pill and then tilted its head, heading toward the place where it had hatched.

It pecked at the pieces of molten rock, one by one.

It picked up these fragments and swallowed them, which, upon closer inspection, were pieces of its eggshell.

The flames within the cave heaven began extinguishing one after another.

Lin Zeying was overjoyed, but in the next moment, an intense sense of urgency arose.

He hadn't yet broken through to the Purple Mansion stage, while his Spirit Beast had already reached it.

For a cultivator, this was not good news.

"Father!" After setting up the Soul Binding Forbidden, Lin Shiming appeared within the cave heaven.

As soon as Lin Shiming arrived, the Fire Phoenix spread its wings once more, with flames surging in its eyes.

It looked ready to attack Lin Shiming.

Lin Zeying immediately reprimanded the phoenix and swiftly put it away.

"Zeying, this Fire Phoenix is of great significance. It's still just a young bird, so you mustn't let others find out about it!" Lin Shiming warned.

The bloodline of the Fire Phoenix could rival the Lin Family's Flood Dragon Bloodline, and the phoenix was known for its ability to undergo nirvana and rebirth.

It may have already undergone a rebirth; after all, it had survived countless years in freezing and extreme cold.

Its successful hatching now was already proof of its extraordinary nature.

"Thank you for the warning, Father. I understand," Lin Zeying replied with a nod.

"Father, may I go to the Eastern Domain for a trial?" After a pause, Lin Zeying suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming frowned deeply.

It wasn't that he was against Lin Zeying undergoing a trial; after all, his son possessed both a Heavenly Spirit Root and a Spiritual Body.

Having reached Foundation Establishment Late Stage, it was indeed time for him to face trials.

However, the Cultivation World was in turmoil now.

The Tai Qian Shark Clan from the Southern Sea was advancing aggressively.

The situation in the Eastern Domain's Cultivation World was uncertain.

Moreover, the Eastern Domain had attracted the Ancient Demon Race and the Dark Spirit Clan due to an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The unrest in the Northern Plains Cultivation World and the Western Desert Cultivation World added to the instability.

"You can go to the Chu State in the Eastern Domain to assist there, but wait until your mother exits seclusion; it should be just a few more days!" Lin Shiming finally said.

Lin Zeying nodded and left the cave heaven, returning to his cultivation.

Lin Shiming sighed deeply, finally understanding the feelings Lin Houyuan once had toward him.

Sometimes, you know a trial is the right path, yet you can't help but worry.

Soon, Lin Shiming shook his head—Lin Zeying was no longer a mere child of ten.

He was destined to carry a heavier burden than Lin Shiming himself.

Lin Shiming also left the cave heaven and landed atop Thousand Wood Peak, where Lin Shitao's abode exhibited increasingly strong energy fluctuations.

Seeing that a breakthrough was imminent, Lin Shiming chose not to continue his seclusion.

His Divine Sense swept across the island and detected many cultivators who were undergoing breakthroughs.

Among them, the strongest were Lin Shitao and Lei Xuan, breaking through to the Golden Core stage, and another familiar figure—Lin Zehong.

After so many years, Lin Zehong was now advancing to the Purple Mansion stage.

Given her superior talent in Talisman Crafting, higher than even Lin Shijin and Yu Jing, if she could craft the Gathering Immortal Talisman, Lin Shiming would offer her a Spirit Light deduction opportunity.

Lin Shiming entered the Lin Family's Council Hall, finally preparing to understand the family's situation in recent years.

Inside the grand hall, the faces of the Lin Family's council elders had changed compared to the previous generation.

Lin Yanjiao stood further back, accompanied by a young girl who was diligently recording.

"Seventh Great-Uncle!"

"Seventh Ancestor!"

...

The repeated calls of "Seventh Great-Uncle" and "Seventh Ancestor" left Lin Shiming with an emotional sense of nostalgia.

But he quickly spoke:

"Yanjiao, summarize the family's situation over the years!"

"Yes, Seventh Great-Uncle!" Lin Yanjiao replied with a nod.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, the Lin Family currently has four Golden Core cultivators and seventy-eight Purple Mansion cultivators, of which the Late Purple Mansion stage includes Ancestor Xianzhi; Uncle Shilei; Uncles Zekong and Zecheng; Uncle Hou Shou; Uncle Hou Xuan; Uncle Zelu; Uncle Houwei; Uncle Shiyi; Aunt Yu Jing; and Uncle Lei Xuan, among others. The Foundation Establishment cultivators currently number four hundred eighty, while the Qi Cultivation members total eighteen thousand three hundred, and the mortals tally to fourteen million," Lin Yanjiao began.

Even though Lin Shiming had mentally prepared for the numbers, he was still astonished.

On the other hand, given the Lin Family's vast territory, it was unsurprising.

With sufficient land, the rapid reproduction of mortals, coupled with the family's birth incentives, naturally led to such figures.

In the coming decades or centuries, growth would likely become exponential.

"Regarding Spiritual Bodies, the family still has three individuals. For Spirit Roots, there are currently two Heavenly Spirit Root holders and six Unique Spirit Root holders, including Uncle Lei Xuan, Uncle Shilei, Uncle Shiyuan, as well as Lin Changxue, Lin Changhao, Lin Qifu, and Lin Qishui. As for Dual Spirit Roots, there are fifty-two members in the family, listed as follows..."

"In terms of cultivation skills, the family has one Fifth Rank Array Master, five Fourth Rank Array Masters, one Fifth Rank Alchemist, seven Fourth Rank Alchemists, one Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner, and nine Fourth Rank Artifact Refiners. Additionally, although there are only four Fourth Rank Spirit Talisman Masters, the family boasts one hundred twenty Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Talisman Masters, making it the most abundant among the four major cultivation skills!"

"Regarding Sword Cultivation, nineteen family members have comprehended Sword Intent!"

Lin Yanjiao continued listing the family's accomplishments.

The Lin Family's robust development in these years had brought many new cultivators.

Even in cultivation skills, the progress was remarkable, and Lin Shiming nodded repeatedly.

"Furthermore, regarding the branch families, five years ago, a grand competition was held. The Cold Turtle Island branch claimed first place, followed by the Red Wood branch and Teng Wood branch, with the Thunder branch and Iron Cavern branch ranking last..." Lin Yanjiao continued.

The branch family system was initiated over twenty years ago, and its implementation had yielded good results, which greatly satisfied Lin Shiming.

"However, Seventh Great-Uncle, the family is also facing significant challenges."

"On Yunyue Island, fifteen Purple Mansion cultivators, one Golden Core cultivator, and Qiu Xue Sword—a Nascent Soul expert—were dispatched. Additionally, eighty Foundation Establishment cultivators were mobilized."

"In the Eastern Domain's Chu State, beast tides are emerging along the coast. Fortunately, Uncle Shimo single-handedly fended off several Demon Kings. As there has been no appearance of a Demon Emperor so far, they've managed to hold the line."

"Moreover, the Southern Sea's Demonic Race seems poised to launch a new round of beast tides!" Lin Yanjiao said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming narrowed his eyes.

A sense of dread weighed heavily on him.

The Cultivation World was in chaos, riddled with danger everywhere.

"By the way, what's the status of the Thousand Year Cold Jade and Top-grade Spirit Stone excavation?" Lin Shiming asked again.

"In fifteen years, eight blocks of Thousand Year Cold Jade and fifteen Top-grade Spirit Stones have been excavated. To ensure sustainable development, the family has slowed down the excavation rate," Lin Yanjiao answered while producing a Jade Slip, which contained Spirit Shadow images of the cold jade and spirit stones.

At that moment, the sky lit up with radiant spiritual light.

Lin Shiming's eyes gleamed with joy.

It was Lin Shitao and Lei Xuan advancing to the Golden Core stage...
