Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

``` Above the island, the frost left by the Ten-winged Frost Cicada remained, covering the ground with chilling ice, just like Lin Shiming's heart at this moment. Xu Ri True Person had arrived, and it was a covert attack! Lin Shiming felt a tremor within, as it was the first time he faced an assassination attempt by a Golden Core True Person. That unease, even though he had faced Golden Core Cultivators numerous times before, still made him feel as if he were hovering on the edge of life and death, suffocated. Facing such cultivators, had he not had the system's prompt, he probably would feel at ease only by holding on to the Flame Yang Sword. And the reason he hadn't released the Flaming Sword was because... he was also waiting, if Xu Ri True Person made an all-out covert attack, how could he not wish to counterattack? With the true strength of such a True Person, even the Flame Yang Sword couldn't guarantee a one-hit kill. Should the assassination fail, the Lin Family's hardly won territory would have to be handed over again. And in using the Cave Heaven World for a covert attack, he had only one chance; once the Golden Core True Person sensed it, his Cave Heaven World would be exposed, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Inside the Cave Heaven World, the Flame Yang Sword had made comprehensive preparations. It had absorbed two five-thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines completely, its blade glowing red as if it were the blazing sun. The tremendous power of the medicine was all infused into the sword. Ready to strike out at any moment. And Wang Jiao, the Red-haired Demon Monkey, and the Golden Wing, even the wooden demon, were all prepared; they were all emanating Spirit Light, and their Spiritual Flame and breath were ready. In a critical moment, even if it was just to hold off Xu Ri True Person for a brief moment, it could potentially influence the outcome. The lion must use all its strength to hunt a rabbit, much less Lin Shiming now. ... Outside, Lin Shiming was pacing forward, letting out a long breath as usual after slaying a Great Demon, filled with joy as he collected the carcass of the Ten-winged Frost Cicada. "Finally killed it!" Lin Shiming sighed with emotion as his Divine Sense normally covered the surroundings, just as he expected, not a trace was found. Just as he took out a Superior Grade Spirit Stone, about to deploy a new Formation, suddenly... a beam of golden light shot towards him; it was so fast, so much so that as Lin Shiming reached for the new Array Plate, the hidden Leaping Void Disk also activated. But even with the Leaping Void Disk, he still got half his shoulder pierced through. He reacted, but his speed was no match for that of a Golden Core Cultivator. The gap between the Purple Mansion and Golden Core was simply too vast. The Starlight Physique Technique and the Seven Stars Battle Garment coupled with the Five-Light Spirit Crocodile Armor didn't even slightly hinder it. Under the golden light, they were practically non-existent. Luckily, under the condition of vaulting via the Leaping Void Disk, he narrowly avoided a fatal hit. The burning pain spread throughout his body as that golden light was clearly still scorching his flesh, apparently a very powerful Spiritual Fire. Lin Shiming's face turned ugly, but before he had time to recover, Xu Ri True Person had already located his position. Almost in an instant, he was upon Lin Shiming, with a sword thrusted towards him! Under that sword strike, Lin Shiming only felt an incomparable Spirit Might bearing down on him, rendering him unable to perform any action. It felt just as a mortal would in the face of cultivators—completely powerless! That was the Golden Core spiritual pressure. Xu Ri True Person's strength was definitely impressive, even among those in the Golden Core Middle Stage. A look of disdain appeared on Xu Ri True Person's face. An insignificant Purple Mansion cultivator dared to plot against him! But in the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and his golden pupils seemed to lose focus as he saw a treasured sword, red as the scorching sun, attacking him. It tore his Spirit Might to shreds and countless Sword Intents were upon him! His body finally experienced the struggle of movements Lin Shiming felt. The blinding brilliance of the sword light was terrifyingly fierce. Lin Shiming's body was instantly marked by endless bloodstains from the sword intents—a strike of the Flame Yang Sword with no reservations. Luckily, Lin Shiming was prepared; a Boundary-breaking Talisman in his hand already tore through the void, and he was gone! In haste, Xu Ri True Person also took out eighteen bead-shaped Magical Treasures, like a Star Chart. For a moment, Lin Shiming was somewhat dazed; perhaps Xu Ri True Person had mastered the power of starlight. But soon he realized these eighteen beads were all Fifth Rank Magical Treasures, and also what Xu Ri True Person had his subordinates on affiliated islands forge. Although similar to the Star Chart, it was only a battle Formation—form without substance. Undeniably, however, the eighteen beads were very powerful, setting off layer upon layer of blue ripples, forming eighteen layers of Barrier. The sword light raged on, cutting through one layer of Barrier after another! This sword was undeniably terrifying; in the next moment, all eighteen layers of Barriers shattered. But it bought time for Xu Ri True Person. Once again, Xu Ri True Person's eyes opened wide, rich flames like two Crimson Crows flew out toward the Flame Yang Sword. Only to be once again churned into nothingness by the massive sword light, causing not the slightest disturbance. "Golden Core Late Stage Spirit Cultivation!" Xu Ri True Person's face dramatically changed. He was ready to escape, taking out a Spirit Talisman in his hand. That Spirit Talisman was a Boundary-breaking Talisman, but before he could activate it, Lin Shiming exploded the surrounding Formation in an instant! Boom! The dazzling Spirit Light covered the whole island; Xu Ri True Person's Spirit Talisman didn't have time to be activated, caught in a pincer attack! In an instant, Xu Ri True Person was both angry and frustrated. By opting for a covert attack, he hadn't destroyed Lin Shiming's Formation, but little did he expect Lin Shiming's Formation would serve such a purpose. Normally, a Fourth Rank Formation wouldn't be too impactful even if it exploded right in front of him, but now with the Flame Yang Sword at his back, it left him in a dire state! Rich Sword Intent enveloped the entire island. Frenzied, domineering! Such was the strike of the Flame Yang Sword, not to mention the seemingly endless Spiritual Flame—all fueled by the five-thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines! ```
