Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Moreover, this time, the Lin Family has to worry about their headquarters.

After all, on Yunyue Island, even if it's breached, the first to suffer losses would be the Tianzhao Sect and Yuntie Island.

But now, it's different; the Lin Family's Shuangmu Island is close to the Outer Sea.

"Additionally, the Tianliu True Person of Tianliu Island has achieved enlightenment; three years ago, they successfully attained enlightenment and are likely to hold a True Monarch ceremony in ten years," Lin Yanjiao spoke.

As these words were spoken, Lin Shiming nodded as well.

There was finally some good news.

The Lin Family and Tianliu Island are allies; both being strong is beneficial to the Lin Family's strength.

"Qian Ji True Person has failed," Lin Yanjiao added.

Lin Shiming sighed slightly but also shook his head.

Although Qian Ji True Person had a good relationship with him, no other cultivators can help when facing the True Monarch's Heavenly Tribulation.

Especially for those loose cultivators and family clan cultivators who are weak; even if they are about to break through to the Nascent Soul.

They may not necessarily pass the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.

Because the aid that sects and families can provide is too limited.

Faced with such tribulations, if one is not prepared, it's not ascension in daylight but catastrophic death on the spot.

The Qian Ji Island where Qian Ji True Person resided is definitely not weak; it is well-known across the entire Southern Sea along with Tianliu Island.

That the breakthrough failed was unexpected for Lin Shiming.

"At Myriad Buddhas Island and the Blood Cultivation Sect, some True Persons have begun seclusion to attempt breaking through to True Monarch."

"The Blood Coral Alliance Hierarch also suggested stopping another Demon Slaying Alliance right at the forefront of Jiuyue Island!" Lin Yanjiao finished and took out a Jade Slip, which recorded the current plans of the Coral Alliance.

This so-called defensive plan precisely falls on the Scarlet Flood Dragon Island that Lin Shiming previously attacked.

Yet many years have passed; it's uncertain if a new True Person has occupied the Scarlet Flood Dragon Island.

"Let's proceed according to normal situations; our Lin Family fully supports,"

Lin Shiming was naturally willing to oppose the Anti-Demon Alliance.

After all, it's the Lin Family that stands at the door to the Demonic Beasts, constantly at risk of being attacked by the Sea Demon King's Court.

If joined by the Thunder Roc Clan, the Lin Family might not have much resistance.

"Furthermore, Seventh Great-Uncle, in the Eastern Domain, the Heavenly Sword True Person from the Qingxuan Sect successfully broke through and is now a Nascent Soul True Monarch." Lin Yanjiao seemed to remember something and added again.

The Lin Family's feelings towards the Qingxuan Sect are somewhat complex.

After all, the Lin Family was once a subordinate family of the Qingxuan Sect.

The Lin Family's ancestor was also once a sect cultivator of the Qingxuan Sect.

The Heavenly Sword True Monarch had even cooperated with Lin Shiming in the past.

Lin Shiming estimated that the main treasures of the Taibai Sword Palace ended up in the Qingxuan Sect's hands back in the day.

Back then, Shen Ji True Person turned into the Shen Ji Tower, falling at the entrance of the Secret Realm, with numerous Golden Core incarnations all perishing by his hand.

The treasures there were naturally thoroughly scavenged.

Only later did Lin Shiming take away many treasures and legacies through Cave Heaven.

Otherwise, the benefits to the Qingxuan Sect could have been greater; judging from this, Shen Ji True Monarch had a plan back then, otherwise, the Heavenly Sword True Person wouldn't have succeeded so smoothly, considering the Heavenly Sword True Person back then broke through to Golden Core Middle Stage by merging with the Soul Summoning Sword.

"When will they hold the True Monarch ceremony there?" Lin Shiming asked.

"That will be fifteen years later, staggered with the Tianliu True Monarch senior!" Lin Yanjiao replied honestly.

Lin Shiming nodded in acknowledgment.

Now, with numerous True Monarchs, Lin Shiming still wants to unite with a few more; the matters of the Taigian Shark Tribe certainly aren't over, and in the future, the most serious threat remains the Dark Spirit Clan within the Taibai Sword Palace.

As well as the Ancient Demon Race behind the Yin Yang Secret Realm.

If these two races invade the Dayu Realm, the likelihood of being breached is high.

This is also what Lin Shiming is most concerned about.

Moreover, apart from these two races, there are quite a few Nascent Souls drawn over by Innate Spiritual Treasures.

However, due to numerous existing space barriers, many cross-realm Nascent Souls can't make it through.

This is good news for the Lin Family, and also a good message.

At least he has some time to continue strengthening his power.

Otherwise, when the day of white-blade combat truly arrives, it won't be as harmonious.

Then Lin Shiming looked towards Lin Yanjiao and Lin Zewen.

"Let's talk about the family matters; currently, the main and branch lines are still just Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment cultivators. The accumulation of resources isn't that fast, and the gap between the main and branch lines isn't significant," Lin Shiming asked, diving straight into the main topic.

The Lin Family's main and branch lines are only in regard to levels below Purple Mansion, meaning once one advances to a Purple Mansion cultivator, they automatically become a main line cultivator, and in the family tree, there's a dedicated golden pen inscription for this.

Below Purple Mansion, they are divided into the main line and various sub-branches.

The main line corresponds to all resources, whereas the sub-branches are different. Generally speaking, the main line is naturally better, but entering the main line now has conditions.

So the Lin Family's competition is focused on Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment.

Lin Yanjiao and Lin Zewen, who originally breathed a sigh of relief, now also felt an unusual sensation, both frowning.

"Reporting to Seventh Great-Uncle, the distinction between the main and branch lines might indeed have been a bit cursory," Lin Yanjiao nodded.

Admittedly, there are indeed issues within the entire family now.

"But going forward, we wish to subdivide each branch further."

"For example, the cultivators of the Redwood Archipelago are more involved in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Spirit Talismans, while those of the Soarwood Archipelago should focus on improving cultivation levels and Ice Spirit Root cultivators."

"In the Eastern Domain, there's more of Corpse Cultivators and Blood Cultivators, and naturally, Buddha Cultivators as well. We strive for those who can cultivate Demonic Path techniques to also engage in Buddha Path Body Cultivation."

"This isn't bad, but what's most important isn't fairness, but relative fairness," Lin Shiming nodded, agreeing with their viewpoint.

The emergence of the main and branch lines was originally for conflict and opposition, to promote progress, which is crucial for the Lin Family.

Otherwise, a stagnant situation is unacceptable.

Lin Shiming's words made the two of them suddenly enlightened.

"Do you have candidates for the Family Head and Deputy Patriarch?" Lin Shiming spoke.

Lin Yanjiao would not be suitable to continue as Family Head in the future, and Lin Zewen could also step down.

It would give the young cultivators in the Lin Family a chance.

"Currently, there are three candidates for Family Head, which have been shown to Seventh Ancestor before," Lin Yanjiao brought out a Jade Slip.

Inside the Jade Slip were the identities and profiles of three individuals.

Unexpectedly, one was Lin Zeying, and the other two were Lin Yanqing and Lin Changxing.

Lin Changxing currently held significant prestige within the Lin Family, and crucially, Lin Changxing is now already a Purple Mansion cultivator.

Without hesitation, Lin Shiming chose Lin Yanqing and Lin Changxing.

As for his son, he was clear; his son Lin Zeying is almost oblivious to worldly matters and only started to practice in the Eastern Domain recently, making him unsuitable.

If not for Lin Zeying's identity as a Heavenly Spirit Root and Spiritual Body, he wouldn't even appear here.

"Let's have two candidates then; Yanqing as Family Head, Changxing as Deputy Patriarch, but their status is pending and requires assessment!"

"At the same time, each branch must also select a branch leader to be responsible for their sub-branch," Lin Shiming made the decision.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yanjiao and Lin Zewen both nodded.

Neither of them had any objections.

"Then let's proceed this way. All matters will be addressed at the family meeting two years later; meanwhile, a family-internal True Monarch ceremony and Sword Testing Tournament will be held, competing amongst the family's Sword Cultivators."

"The winner will receive my guidance once!"

"Additionally, during this grand ceremony, there will be a family Soul Summoning Sword interpreting Sword Intent!"

"Only Sword Cultivators can participate in the Sword Testing Tournament, and the criterion for Sword Cultivators is to withstand the Sword Testing Stone in front of my Sword Pavilion for three breaths." Lin Shiming continued.

This Sword Testing Tournament was something he had long intended to organize; after all, the Lin Family had many Sword Cultivators, especially after the war with the Tai Qian Shark Tribe when the Lin Family gained quite a few Sword Cultivators; in the past five years, the progress of Sword Cultivators was also the greatest.

"Besides, there will also be an Expedition Spirit Beast Tournament for Spirit Beast Cultivators with spiritual serpent or spiritual flood dragon-type spirit beasts, only allowing Spirit Beast Cultivators to participate, and the spirit beasts must preferably be related to snakes, pythons, or flood dragons.

"Anyone who successfully enters the top ten, I will help them advance their spirit beasts!"

"
