Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

On the square, as the mortals left, Lin Yanjiao looked towards Lin Shiming, and with his nod, she raised her hand.

With a spirit art cast, countless tall platforms instantly appeared on the square.

Each of these platforms was three zhang high and a hundred zhang wide,

all crafted by the Lin Family's Fourth Rank artifact refiners, specifically for the Lin Family Grand Tournament.

These platforms were made from the Rhino Cloud Iron of Yuntie Island, not only sturdy but also capable of inscribing numerous formations.

With these formations, they could compete without interference, achieving the true effect of the tournament.

Lin Shiming, seeing the twenty platforms before him, was immensely satisfied. The Green Lotus Peak's construction was truly painstaking.

"Proceed as discussed earlier!" Lin Shiming waved his hand.

Lin Yanjiao also nodded repeatedly.

"Since this is the first Sword Trial Gathering, it will be held below the Purple Mansion level. During the competition, those with higher cultivation will suppress their realm to match those with lower cultivation levels, competing solely through sword dao skill!"

"During the event, everyone will use the Lin Family's Golden Iron Sword. Those who comprehend sword intent will be top five, and those who haven't will be top two!"

"These seven will receive guidance from the Seventh Great-Uncle once, and the family will tailor a magic artifact for each!" Lin Yanjiao's words brought great joy to the cultivators of the Lin Family Sword Hall below the Purple Mansion.

They were most concerned about Lin Zeli and Lin Yanxing, whose sword dao realms had reached the Sword Qi Condensing Thread level, and even surpassed it.

Comparing themselves to these two, they believed they had no chance.

But if they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the realms were suppressed, no cultivator would give up.

They all practiced in the Sword Pavilion, believing they weren't far behind.

This rule is very favorable both for those with sword intent and those without.

Even after so many years, only twenty-eight in the Lin Family have comprehended sword intent, not even thirty.

And subtracting Lin Shiming, Lin Xianzhi, Lin Shijie, Lin Zeli, Lin Yanxing, and others, it becomes even fewer.

Almost twenty vying for five spots.

While those who haven't comprehended sword intent are many, there are as many as three hundred and eighty cultivators in the Lin Family Sword Hall.

Among so many people, only two are chosen.

It shows the rigor of the Lin Family's Sword Trial Gathering.

And the rewards are indeed generous for them.

Getting a tailored magic artifact from the family's artifact refiner, along with guidance from Lin Shiming.

It's rare even for those cultivators with variant spirit roots in the Lin Family to get such an opportunity for guidance from Lin Shiming.

"If there's no objection, the Miscellaneous Hall will begin the drawing!" Lin Yanjiao announced.

The Miscellaneous Hall is also a newly established branch of the Lin Family.

Unlike other branches, it's filled with young, energetic, and aggressive cultivators; this branch mainly comprises elderly ones, and, amusingly, its head is Lin Shiming's father.

Regarding family errands and branch appointments, Lin Shiming hasn't managed them in a long time.

Yet, he didn't say much even seeing this.

Lin Houyuan evidently reached the Purple Mansion, but his cultivation progress slowed to the extreme.

His talent as a Third Spirit Root, combined with slow progress in his youth, means it's difficult to catch up now.

Nearly half-abandoning, he began guiding the family.

This scenario is very common in the Lin Family, and most in the Miscellaneous Hall are those with the "Shi" generation nearing their lifespan, and a few from the "Ze" generation.

Lin Shiming didn't stop them, only secretly noting to send Lin Houyuan more things.

He couldn't ensure every cultivator in the family continuously advanced on the immortal cultivation path, but he could let his close kin accompany him a bit longer on the path.

"Once the draw is completed, five platforms are for those with sword intent, and fifteen for those without. The numbers pair randomly for trials; sword dropped or leaving the platform counts as a loss!" Lin Houyuan announced loudly.

Soon, twenty people stepped out, simultaneously beginning their sword trials.

Lin Shiming, upon a high platform, slightly pondered as he observed the no sword intent group. The participants were two hundred, quite a number, including Lin Zeying and Lin Changjian.

The former was his son, and surprisingly, he didn't inform him this time, seemingly avoiding rumors.

Lin Shiming naturally did not mind, feeling gratified upon seeing his confident gaze.

About Lin Changjian, it goes without saying, he was nearly a top-two candidate.

His sword intent differed from others', instead of independent intent, his sword intent almost followed the Flaming Sword's intent.

Lin Shiming didn't know if this was good or bad.

After all, definitive sword intent has form, while non-definitive intent is formless.

But ultimately, it's a kind of sword dao, Lin Shiming was pleased to see Lin Family flourishing with diversity.

Only in such diversity can exceptional figures emerge generation after generation.

Among the sword intent cultivators, Lin Shiming also saw many familiar faces.

And the trials soon began, all twenty platforms starting simultaneously.

Ten types of sword intent and forty Golden Iron Swords showcased in the air ignited passion.

All the Sword Hall's cultivators were extremely excited at this moment.

After all, it was the first Sword Trial Gathering.

Opening Water Sword Intent, Autumn Wind Sword Intent, Blazing Fire Sword Intent...

A total of ten distinct sword intents clashed on the platforms.

At a glance, among those without sword intent, Lin Shiming noticed nothing outstanding.

But among those with sword intent, one intrigued him.

It was the Heavenly Pillar Sword Intent.

The sword intent seemed like a towering Sword Tree emerging through the sky.

This sword intent bore some resemblance to his Grass Sword Intent, yet was somewhat different.

The Grass Sword Intent focuses on multiplicity, while the Heavenly Pillar Sword Intent resembles the Qingxuan Sect True Monarch's Heavenly Sword Intent, focusing on breaking through.
