Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

The blossoming of flowers heralded the arrival of the rainy season.

The entire Demon-suppression Valley was soon enveloped in an unending downpour.

These slender rains were relentless, cleansing the valley into an unprecedented ethereal purity. The emerald leaves, the crimson blossoms—everywhere one looked—a sea of peach blossoms cultivated by the Lin Family flourished in abundance.

Lin Shiming thought of Lin Zeying. The latter was currently training in the Eastern Domain. However, with a phoenix bird accompanying him, Lin Zeying's safety was no longer a concern, bringing Lin Shiming considerable relief.

The cave of Jiuxiao True Person, where he had been in seclusion, stirred slightly amidst a wave of dust. It had been a month since Lin Shiming assisted Jiuxiao True Person by deducing a glimmer of Spirit Light for him.

Finally, the cave moved.

"Shiming, thank you for guarding my Dao. This Enlightenment Pill is truly extraordinary; I now feel confident I can refine even superior-grade Fifth-Rank magical treasures!" Jiuxiao True Person exclaimed with excitement, retrieving the Melting Furnace and igniting his Spiritual Fire.

He immediately began the process of artifact refining.

At this point, Lin Shiming let out a long breath of relief.

Now that Jiuxiao True Person had completed his Dao Enlightenment, Lin Shiming was free to focus elsewhere. Otherwise, if someone had disturbed Jiuxiao True Person and broken that profound and mysterious state,

the effects of the deduced Spirit Light would have been greatly diminished—a disastrous outcome.

"Then I look forward to hearing good news from Elder Jiuxiao!" Lin Shiming refrained from further interruption.

With artifact refining underway, Lin Shiming's role as a protector was no longer needed.

He left the Red-haired Demon Monkey in his stead.

The defenses in the Eastern Domain were relatively weak. Although there was a Transmission Formation, it could sometimes be sabotaged by adversaries. Deploying additional combat forces here was a safer choice.

Moreover, the Red-haired Demon Monkey had been cultivating its own Demon Codex. Having now evolved into a Dragon Ape, its continued presence by Lin Shiming's side was less significant. Remaining in the Eastern Domain might even yield new opportunities for it.

"Master, Shiyan will safeguard this area." The Red-haired Demon Monkey now spoke with clear articulation, its Spirit Intelligence surpassing its former self.

In its current form, it bore the semblance of a half-ape, a single dragon pattern coursing across its body, emanating an unmatched aura of dominance.

"Very well!" Lin Shiming nodded, casting one final glance toward the Yunzhong Realm before resolutely heading toward the Southern Sea via the Transmission Formation.

The situation in the Southern Sea was dire. The Taiqian Shark Clan had begun their offensive half a month ago.

Currently, most of the True Monarchs had already gathered on Yunyue Island. Lin Shiming, however, was absent because he lacked Nascent Soul-level combat power, and his Qiu Xue Sword had long since been sent to Yunyue Island.

As a brilliant white light flashed, Lin Shiming appeared on Shuangmu Island.

Extending his Divine Sense outward, he caught sight of Lin Yanjiao rallying forces on the plaza.

Another round of recruitment was underway for Yunyue Island.

Among the assembled cultivators, Lin Shiming recognized many familiar names.

Leading the group was Lin Yanxing, who had recently entered the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, alongside several Lin Family descendants who had comprehended Sword Intent.

Lin Shiming landed on the plaza and turned his gaze toward the Sword Pavilion.

"All Sword Intent cultivators in the Sword Pavilion, step forward. The Taiqian Shark Clan belongs to the Sword Demon Clan. Rather than seclude yourselves in sword training, use the sharks to hone your blades!" Lin Shiming spoke, his eyes glinting sharply.

The plaza held only just over a hundred cultivators, most at the Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion stages.

As for Qi Cultivators, they were unnecessary at this point, though smaller families often sent their Qi Cultivators as expendable forces.

Larger families, however, preserved their Qi Cultivators, knowing that Nascent Soul combatants were the definitive factor in victory.

For the Lin Family, however, cultivators trained in the Sword Pavilion were required to undergo such trials.

Should the Taiqian Shark Clan be repelled, they would lose their opportunity. Conversely, should the sharks triumph, remaining on the islands would serve no purpose.

Participating, on the other hand, might enable them to comprehend higher realms of Sword Intent—a true Sword Cultivator's calling.

Upon hearing Lin Shiming's command, hesitant cultivators from the Sword Pavilion finally stepped forward.

Lin Shiming's influence was undeniable; even those on the cusp of comprehending Sword Intent joined the assembly.

Among them was a young Wind Spirit Root Sword Cultivator.

This individual, Lin Changfeng, was the second Wind Spirit Root descendant of the Lin Family after Lin Shiyuan.

Additionally, Lin Changxue was also present—a cultivator who had specifically requested to transfer from the Eastern Domain to the Southern Sea. Her exceptional talent was undeniable.

She had recently progressed to the early stage of Foundation Establishment,

demonstrating remarkable aptitude in Frost Sword Intent.

The one-hundred-strong team had swelled significantly.

Nearly forty percent of the cultivators in the group practiced sword cultivation.

Lin Shiming unsheathed an Iron Forest Sword, the Lin Family's signature magical sword, and strode toward the Transmission Formation.

The formation flared with spiritual light. Spiritual Energy from several Spirit Platforms converged to form intricate Spirit Patterns, enveloping the group.

The next moment, they vanished entirely,

reappearing on Yuntie Island.

On Yuntie Island, there were now more Transmission Formations than before, with cultivators directing operations amidst the flurry of activity.

"Senior Qian Mu, you've come in person today?" A Purple Mansion cultivator emerged from the distance, offering words of flattery.

"Defending the Southern Sea is everyone's duty. How could I shirk my responsibilities?" Lin Shiming replied with a smile.

The Purple Mansion Hermit, named Chen Yun Hermit, was a disciple of Yuntie True Person.

Currently, he was the strongest combatant on Yuntie Island, as both Yuntie True Person and his subordinate Blue Ox Demon King had gone to Yunyue Island.

"Senior Qian Mu, you should proceed. The situation there is indeed critical. There are now over a hundred Demon Kings, and the number of Demon Emperors has risen to seven or eight. If this continues, breaking through ten Demon Emperors seems inevitable." Chen Yun Hermit noted grimly.

Lin Shiming nodded, and Chen Yun Hermit began preparing the Transmission Formation for him. None of the others raised any objections.

For them, delaying the journey seemed more prudent, as they were uncertain whether going to Yunyue Island was a blessing or a curse. They were well aware of Lin Shiming's affiliation with Nascent Soul powers and dared not question him.

The Transmission Formation activated once more.

After repeated transfers, the Lin Family cultivators, especially the Qi and Foundation Establishment ones, appeared somewhat unsteady, though the Purple Mansion cultivators fared better.

The next moment, as they beheld the thousand-foot-tall city walls and the vast expanse of the island before them, the sheer scale of the South Sea Alliance and Southern Border Alliance's mobilization became apparent.

Their adversaries this time would be the deadliest beast tide to date!

The thunderous sounds of battle echoed from afar, the terrifying commotion threatening to overturn the entire sea.

At the edge of the sky, dread-inducing storms of Sword Qi raged, leaving every Lin Family member awestruck.

Among them, Lin Yanxing's eyes gleamed sharply.

Previously hindered by his Four Spirit Roots, which left him stuck at the late stage of Foundation Establishment for years, he finally broke through to the Purple Mansion realm. Now was his moment to shine.

"Senior Qian Mu, you've finally arrived?" Several Purple Mansion cultivators called out from the distance.

Seeing Lin Shiming arrive, their hearts lifted with joy.
