Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Although he didn't understand the profound depths, for him, it was sufficient to record everything; when his cultivation reached the required level, he would be able to comprehend the mysteries within.

The Kuimu Sword Canon was a superior grade, Earth-level cultivation technique, and it was indeed the distinguished foundational method of the Taibai Sword Palace.

Lin Shiming read it thoroughly seven times; two days had already passed.

Once he confirmed that the recorded technique was free of abnormalities, Lin Shiming bowed deeply, concluding his study of the technique for the time being.

As if it understood, the light and shadow conjured a sliver of light upon Lin Shiming's forehead; the Sword Command simultaneously emitted a glow.

The scenes disappeared one by one, and following that, the inheritance token appeared. Just when he wondered if he could continue to inspect the techniques, his figure changed once more, and he found himself standing in a genuine tower space.

Lin Xianzhi was also seated in meditation across from him.

Seeing Lin Shiming come in, Lin Xianzhi also spoke excitedly.

"Shiming, did you acquire any cultivation techniques?"

"Seventh Great-Uncle, I've obtained a technique that can be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul stage!" Lin Shiming also spoke without any attempt to hide.

He then asked anxiously,

"Seventh Great-Uncle, how about you?"

At this moment, he was worried that his seventh great-uncle had chosen a Wood Attribute technique for him.

Knowing Lin Xianzhi's character, it was very much possible that he had done just that.

"I could only reach the fourth layer and selected a Water Attribute Golden Lotus Dao Scripture!" Hearing that Lin Shiming had obtained a technique that could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, Lin Xianzhi instantly knew Shiming's encounter was extraordinary, indicating he must have reached the sixth layer, which also relieved him.

In the fourth layer, he was indeed prepared to choose a Wood Attribute Technique, but thinking of Lin Shiming's talent and certain capability to reach a higher layer, he abandoned that thought.

Of course, having acquired the technique, Lin Shiming could not ignore another reality—he was still trapped within the Taibai Sword Palace.

At this time, going out would make him a target for both the Qingxuan Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect; they would probably think only of killing him.

He must wait; the avatar of the Heavenly Sword True Person surely had a contingency plan.

A Sword Cultivator without worries or contingencies would not remain this calm.

Just as the Grass Sword said, he wasn't a true Sword Cultivator, but to the Heavenly Sword True Person, he was indeed a genuine Sword Cultivator.

Furthermore, it was an avatar at stake, and if it had to burst forth, it would certainly be a do-or-die battle.

And that Thousand Corpses True Person likely had his own contingency, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to block the Heavenly Sword True Person's avatar at the Taibai Sword Palace's mountain gate without calling the Heavenly Demon Sect for backup.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, please go to the Cave Heaven World to consume a Fuling Fiery Mulberry Fruit and enhance your lifespan by a hundred years. We might need your assistance later!" Lin Shiming told Lin Xianzhi.

Although Lin Xianzhi was feigning death, if a real crisis emerged, he would not resign himself to fate!

Lin Xianzhi nodded.

Lin Shiming then looked towards the tower's exit; inside the Scripture Pavilion's tower, the occupants did not see each other, but once outside, everyone would be visible to one another.

Standing outside the door, he too was waiting for the system's prompt to appear.

However, with no system prompt forthcoming, Lin Shiming turned and signaled to Lin Xianzhi.

The principle of Wu Xie, equally applicable while exiting the tower.

Therefore, Lin Shiming had to be ready for the possibility of encountering someone outside; he had to slay them before they could send out a message!

Lin Shiming drew the Laiyun Sword, and having learned the second form of the Three Lifetimes Sword Technique—Tribulation Transcending—he felt confident that, unless he faced top disciples from The Great Sects or Nascent Soul avatars, he could vanquish his opponents in an instant!

Sword Intent filled the air, and the Grass Sword sprang up.

Lin Shiming strode out boldly.

Outside, all was silent, bereft of the anticipated Qingxuan Sect Cultivators.

Since the Corpse Refining Sect had dispatched people to the Alchemy Pavilion, likely all six passages were manned, and the Qingxuan Sect was no longer surprised by the presence of Corpse Refining Sect Cultivators!

Of course, there could be other reasons, but for him, the absence of people currently was the best outcome.

On the other side, Lin Xianzhi also breathed a sigh of relief and thereafter was brought by Lin Shiming into the Cave Heaven World.

Subsequently, with a swish, the scroll unfurled, and Lin Shiming vanished into it, simultaneously entering the Five-colored Silkworm Coffin.

His figure didn't linger in the Scripture Pavilion.

The ambition of the Qingxuan Sect is not small; within the Scripture Pavilion, there might still be cultivators who are memorizing even higher-level cultivation techniques.

He arrived at the mountain pass smoothly, where the Qingxuan Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect were still in a standoff.

But at this moment, behind the Heavenly Sword True Person's avatar, only the plaque of the Taibai Sword Palace could be seen flying behind him, reinforcing an endless Sword Intent.

For a time, the Heavenly Sword True Person's avatar was like a divine child, with sword radiance that was dazzling to the extreme.

The strong Sword Intent of the masses made Lin Shiming somewhat confused; had he known the plaque was so powerful, he would have taken it at the first opportunity!

On the other side, in front of the Thousand Corpses True Person, two Yin-Yang demon corpses, one white and one black, were also extremely fierce, crazily lunging towards the Qingxuan Sect.

The clash between the two, once again dimmed the skies and darkened the earth, as the Corpse Refining battle formation and the Sword Path battle formation were still colliding violently.

The cultivators supporting the battle formation, whether they were from the Qingxuan Sect or the Corpse Refining Sect, now all had pale faces, with a massive depletion of their True Yuan.

Lin Shiming went on his way again, silent as before.

His destination was still the Alchemy Pavilion.

Only the top of the Alchemy Pavilion was the safest place to hide. As for slipping away, he hadn't even considered it.

The intensity of the battle had reached the Purple Mansion level; let alone his Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, even if he were at the late Foundation Establishment stage, it would be impossible to slip past the two avatars with the strength of the Purple Mansion.

He was waiting, either for the Qingxuan Sect to break the situation or for the Corpse Refining Sect to do it!

Once hidden again on the cliffside of the Alchemy Pavilion, Lin Shiming didn't release his Divine Sense but instead looked outside with his eyes.

As for the Flame Yang within him, it was somewhat at a loss for words at the moment.

It had not expected Lin Shiming to be so capable of biding his time; of course, it was also interested in what cultivation technique Lin Shiming had acquired just now.

In the Scripture Pavilion, it had been separated by the formation and couldn't see what cultivation inheritance Lin Shiming had obtained, and it wasn't even clear which floor he had reached.

"Kid, what cultivation technique did you get?"

Flame Yang eventually asked, as the Senior Grass held some regard for Lin Shiming.

But right now, it felt as if Senior Grass might have misjudged; a Sword Cultivator's Sword Heart is usually crystal clear, but it seemed this Sword Heart was somewhat dull!

"This junior's talent is dull, and the cultivation technique obtained is not worth mentioning!" Lin Shiming also calmly responded with his Divine Sense.

"You're teasing me, aren't you? Just state your condition!" Flame Yang said, somewhat frustrated.

It guessed that Lin Shiming was deliberately concealing it from him because of the previous implications that they were even in their dealings.

"Senior speaks too modestly. Senior has helped this junior so much along the way; this junior ought to agree to any request from senior. But senior must understand, this junior is just a cultivator from a small family, and now in front of senior, I hardly have any secrets..."

"Rest assured, even if I were to pursue the Immortal Path alone, I would not divulge your secrets to a second person. I can swear on the Heavenly Dao. Besides, there's no way I'm going to stick with a family that doesn't even have a Nascent Soul cultivator, so save any next attempts to convince me to stay!"

Before Lin Shiming could finish speaking, Flame Yang interrupted him.

In his heart, all the various benefits he had thought to offer to persuade Flame Yang to stay had to be swallowed back.

He did indeed want to retain Flame Yang; these Soul Summoning Swords, although they had lived for who knows how long, were unusually straightforward.

"Then thank you, senior!" Lin Shiming felt relieved upon hearing the other party swear by the Heavenly Dao to keep secrets.

It wasn't a total loss, after all.

"This junior did indeed obtain the Kuimu Sword Canon!"

Following Lin Shiming's answer, Flame Yang, the Soul Summoning Sword, also came to regard Lin Shiming with respect but didn't say anything.

Just as the two were communicating, the small tower at the Scripture Pavilion suddenly enlarged countless times.

Even from the Alchemy Pavilion, Lin Shiming could see it very clearly.

This tower was clearly different from the tower of the Scripture Pavilion; its color sparkled with Spirit Light and even its prohibitive formations were different.

The next moment, Lin Shiming suddenly realized that this tower was the very one from the auction, the one brought out by the Qingxuan Sect.

He watched as the tower aimed directly at the Scripture Pavilion, apparently intending to incorporate the entire pavilion within itself.

The goal of the Qingxuan Sect was not just the cultivation techniques but the entire legacy of the Taibai Sword Palace!
