Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

``` He then stabilized his condition for ten more days before rising again. During these days, the system alerts were all coming from Xu Ri True Person's scrutiny, and they were becoming increasingly urgent, much to his satisfaction. As soon as he left his room, the divine sense that had been surveilling him reappeared. Lin Shiming's gaze remained calm as he walked down the street, browsing shops as usual, purchasing Spirit Talismans, Spiritual Medicine, and even bought two Artifact Refining Furnaces. He put on the airs of someone engaged in artifact refining. Afterward, he suddenly picked up speed in a certain corner and stealthily moved towards the outskirts of the island! After leaving Xu Ri Island, he circled around the surrounding islands a few times with his Spirit Shield active, then landed back on the island. A simple spell for concealing one's cultivation level was also cast upon him, but this time the concealment wasn't as flawless as those from the Sword Storing Book—if other Purple Mansion Cultivators were determined to investigate, they would easily discover him. However, that was exactly the effect he wanted! He straightened his clothes, took out a few Spirit Stones, and then headed towards the Transmission Formation. Xu Ri Island's Transmission Formation belonged to the inner island network, the teleportation site was luxuriously extravagant, and it was well-connected, capable of reaching other large sea regions, even though such long-distance transmission required a considerable amount of Spirit Stones. Of course, Lin Shiming went directly to Bing Zhi Island. As the Transmission Formation's light flickered, Lin Shiming once again opened his eyes, now seeing a vast island cloudless for miles, although the cultivators responsible for the Transmission Formation looked extremely serious. Lin Shiming, with his Spirit Shield and concealed cultivation level, was still questioned. Obviously, the death of the island's master and the inauguration of a new one made Bing Zhi Island extremely tense and cautious. Lin Shiming entered a shop on Bing Zhi Island, spending ten Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones to purchase a simple map. He then set off directly for the sea region where the Shiyi Frost Mantis was located. Once on Bing Zhi Island, Xu Ri True Person might make his move, since in his eyes, Lin Shiming was just a Purple Mansion Cultivator who could be easily suppressed. And if the Flaming Sword clashed with Xu Ri True Person and the news leaked, it would be just as detrimental to him. He needed Xu Ri True Person to die without a sound! Lin Shiming took out the Zifeng Boat. Its speed was unmatched in the ocean, quickly dashing forward and leaving a faint trail of spiritual marks. … Not long after Lin Shiming had departed, a cultivator in a red robe and a Spirit Shield stepped into the air. His eyes emitted a golden light, which soon revealed Lin Shiming's figure. Seeing Lin Shiming take out the Zifeng Boat didn't surprise him. Able to slay Zi Yu Loose and gain plenty in the Purple Sun Secret Realm, he naturally didn't believe Lin Shiming was merely poaching Spiritual Medicine. He knew that the Spiritual Medicine had passed through the hands of the Blood Cultivation Sect's cultivators. These Spiritual Medicines had been handled by the Blood Cultivation Sect's cultivators! The Spiritual Medicines were taken out from the Blood Cultivation Sect cultivator's Storage Bag by Lin Shiming, specially tempered to attract Xu Ri True Person. But Xu Ri True Person also happened to find the clue. He even suspected that the cultivators from Myriad Buddhas Island and Blood Cultivation Sect had all died at the hands of Lin Shiming. His gaze became even more dreadful, presuming Lin Shiming might possess means beyond those of a Purple Mansion Peak. Although Lin Shiming had employed numerous tactics along the way, he still had this feeling. Moreover, Lin Shiming's failure to sort through the treasures of the Purple Sun Secret Realm was, in his eyes, the most unusual aspect! In his hands, sixteen beads appeared, his gaze settling somewhat as a strand of silver silk robe appeared on his left. "To kill a mere Purple Mansion Cultivator in such a manner, it's been a long time since I've done this..." Xu Ri True Person muttered, the silver silk robe draping over him, and then he vanished into thin air. Not a trace of his presence remained. … A nameless island at dusk, the setting sun cast a fiery glow over the sea, extending from the depths of the sea all the way to the horizon. A Spirit Boat quickly emerged at the edge of the sea, on which Lin Shiming stood facing the fierce sea breeze. The faint starlight made him appear even more divine. The speed of the Zifeng Boat surpassed any Spirit Boat he had used before, and the strong sea breezes were superior to those in the Eastern Domain, which actually allowed his Starlight Tempering Body Technique to be honed to near perfection. However, since the Star Spirit Fluff was of even greater significance, Lin Shiming did not take out the Star Spirit Fluff for cultivation. Lin Shiming looked towards the island, where he saw a mountain that soared into the clouds. Aside from the small size of the island, the height of the mountain was truly extraordinary. The peak of the mountain was capped with snow, evidently so tall that it had become frosted over. ``` Lin Shiming fell from the sky onto the island, starting to set up the formation, no system prompt appeared, so Xu Ri True Person naturally did not take any action either. He also understood in his heart that Xu Ri True Person was cautious enough to want to make a move after he finished dealing with the Ten-winged Frost Mantis. Or maybe he wanted to force out his techniques. But a Great Demon at the late stage of Purple Mansion couldn't really press him much. Especially since he came out from the Secret Realm, his strength was even greater than before. One after another, formation flags flew into the surroundings of the island, and with the last Spirit Art cast, the Array Plate connected all the formation bases, enveloping the entire island! This formation was merely an Inferior Grade Fourth Rank Formation, named Eight Directions Solid Earth Formation; it drew the power of the spiritual earth from all directions, not only its defense was astonishing, it also blocked Divine Sense. For Lin Shiming, although it wasn't the best formation for the current situation, it was indeed the most appropriate one. The Spiritual Power of the Ten-winged Frost Mantis was all concentrated in frost and speed. "Arise!" As the final Spirit Art was cast, countless yellow Spirit Lights began to spread, forming a huge Spirit Shield, covering the entire island. Just at that moment, Lin Shiming suddenly felt the temperature around him dropping rapidly. And it changed drastically fast, his gaze turned towards the mountain. He saw the white of the icy snow-covered landscape starting to surge down like a tide. All the greenery began to freeze, and one after another, extremely cold storms also flew out. The temperament of mantis-like Demonic Beasts are all similar; unlike other Great Demons that would howl a bit, they attacked directly. His eyes narrowed, and his Divine Sense was highly concentrated; only in this way could he clearly see the speed of the Ten-winged Frost Mantis. It was a huge mantis the size of an ox, its snow-white scythe-like arms giving off a chilling coldness, and with four pairs of transparent white wings, plus one pair of hidden Spirit Wings, its speed was several times faster than Lin Shiming's Zifeng Boat. Its fangs were also elongated and sharp, and its claws were covered with terrifying serrations. Taking to the air, it brought with it the whoosh of a frost storm. Lin Shiming released two Soul-Suppressing Pagodas in front of him, initiating soul attraction, which made the Ten-winged Frost Mantis stop momentarily. This Frost Mantis Great Demon's Divine Soul was not particularly strong. He waved again, and as the two Soul-Suppressing Pagodas pressed down on the Frost Mantis, from his hands, the newly refined Illusionary Spirit Gourd also released illusionary fog toward the Ten-winged Frost Mantis. But the Ten-winged Frost Mantis was simply too fast, a streak of white light flashed by, avoiding both the Soul-Suppressing Pagodas and the illusionary fog. It quickly reached Lin Shiming. Lin Shiming also stretched out his Crescent Moon Guard Blade to clash with the Ten-winged Frost Mantis; he was a Body Cultivator at the middle stage of Purple Mansion as well. Whoosh! The piercing sound of the blade cutting through the air spread, and Lin Shiming only felt a shock on his hand, even the Crescent Moon Guard Blade started to show a fine nick. That indicated how sharp the Frost Mantis's scythes were. Lin Shiming shook his hand forcefully to dispel the frost. He swung out the Soul Locking Whip again, but it was still too slow. Seeing this, Lin Shiming couldn't help but frown, he used the Leaping Void Disk twice to dodge the Frost Mantis's attack, trying to counterattack from behind, but he couldn't manage it at all. Eventually, he had no choice but to activate the Soul-Suppressing Pagodas again, and send out the soul attraction. This time the Ten-winged Frost Mantis obviously had a greater resistance and paused only briefly. However, Lin Shiming just needed that pause, as his hands sped up the casting of the Spirit Art, and from the Soul-Suppressing Pagodas, countless thick vines grew out. These vines were extremely thick and covered with Spirit Patterns, quickly binding the Ten-winged Frost Mantis. Furthermore, an Illusionary Spirit Gourd took shape, and together with the one he activated, they released illusionary fog. This time, although the Ten-winged Frost Mantis continuously swung its scythes, cutting many vines, it couldn't escape the illusionary fog. The whole Demonic Beast went mad attacking everywhere, while Lin Shiming cast a Jin Ye Sword technique, executing the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art, beheading the Ten-winged Frost Mantis. As he beheaded it, he also felt a slight regret; if it weren't for the need of the Golden Winged Mantis, he would have liked to control the opponent with the Spirit Controlling Seal. Lin Shiming collected all the Magical Treasures, and then flew towards the Ten-winged Frost Mantis. Just at that moment, a system prompt also rang out: "Please release the Flaming Sword, otherwise you will be killed in one strike by Xu Ri True Person!"
