Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

331: Clone, Dayan (two-in-one thanks to the reward from Mount Fuji)Within the Grotto-heaven World, in a stone chamber beneath a mountain Peak.

All was silent, with countless spell formations isolating it.

He was performing the Extracorporeal Incarnation Technique, and not the slightest disturbance was allowed!

Before Lin Shiming lay a spirit corpse, upon which several spirit talismans had been placed.

Beneath the spirit corpse, a blood-colored spell formation emitted a rich Spirit Light, appearing exceedingly eerie.

Lin Shiming completed his final cycle, exhaling a breath of turbid Qi, his mental state already adjusted to its Peak.

At the same time, he had already reviewed the secret method of the Extracorporeal Incarnation Technique in his mind several times.

The transformation hand seals, guided by the System, had also approached perfection.

In his mind, the Spirit Splitting Art circulated once more, and his Divine Soul completely manifested in his Purple Mansion.

The next moment, Lin Shiming frowned, gritted his teeth, and the Soul Splitting Blade fiercely struck, severing an entire half of the arm of that Divine Soul.

The arm quickly transformed into Spirit Light and began to condense into a ball above the Purple Mansion, finally drilling towards the refined corpse.

The ball of light flew extremely slowly, and with each passing second, more cold sweat appeared on Lin Shiming’s forehead, his expression becoming even more ferocious.

This was different from severing a small portion during the cultivation of the Spirit Splitting Art; the tearing of even a small part of the Divine Soul was enough to make an ordinary Cultivator lose consciousness.

Moreover, he now had to control the severed Divine Sense, operate a special method, transform it into a ball of light similar to Possession, and then invade the spirit corpse.

Around Lin Shiming’s neck, a Soul Nurturing Pendant began to emit a rich green light, and simultaneously, at his feet, an auxiliary spell formation configured with various spirit waters also surged with Spirit Light, entering his body.

The ball of light finally entered the spirit corpse, and he immediately sat down, beginning to form spirit hand seals, striking out One by one spirit imprints that landed on the spirit corpse’s spell formation, causing countless blood-colored lights to surge forth.

The blood-colored lights transformed into various spirit runes and drilled into the spirit corpse, while the spirit corpse, originally controlled by the spirit talismans, instantly began to roar madly, and several spirit talismans directly spontaneously combusted and vanished.

The spirit corpse began to lose control, about to charge towards Lin Shiming.

However, from within the blood-colored light, countless blood-colored tentacles instantly appeared, pulling the spirit corpse back.

A massive amount of spirit runes continued to surge in, and the spirit hand seals in Lin Shiming’s hands became faster and faster.

At the same time, if one looked closely, a green speck of light within the spirit corpse began to circulate continuously, slowly invading every part of the spirit corpse’s body, finally settling in the spirit corpse’s head.

It covered the original consciousness of the spirit corpse.

Violent, bloodthirsty, mad—countless negative emotions surged towards Lin Shiming’s mind.

But before his Purple Mansion Divine Soul, and with special methods, that resisting consciousness was utterly ineffective, instead being gradually worn away by Lin Shiming.

After an unknown amount of time, the spirit corpse’s struggles grew smaller and smaller, until the last few blood-colored spirit runes entered its body.

The spirit corpse completely stopped, sitting cross-legged just like Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming stopped his spirit hand seals; though his eyes were weary, they were also filled with joy.

Because the spirit corpse before him was looking at him, just as he was looking at it.

The feeling at this moment was quite peculiar, as if he were looking at himself.

It also signified that the Extracorporeal Incarnation Technique had completely succeeded.

Under Lin Shiming’s spirit hand seals, the spirit corpse began to shift its form, and the next moment, it completely transformed into an identical likeness.

The Spiritual Root was the same, the appearance was the same, the eyes were the same, and the Divine Soul fluctuations were also the same.

The only difference was that the Clone was at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, while the main body was at the Purple Mansion Realm.

Besides that, the secret methods and Minor Divine Abilities he possessed, the Clone did not.

However, the Book of Hidden Paths could also be placed within the Clone’s body.

Lin Shiming began to experiment again, and the next moment, he suddenly thought of having the Clone go outside while the main body remained within the Grotto-heaven World.

But then, he was disappointed; the Grotto-heaven World was within his first spirit platform and could not move with the Clone.

Moreover, the Clone could not be too far from the main body, as it would also cause the Clone to lose control.

Of course, he also discovered that the spatial separation of the Grotto-heaven World did not affect his control over the Clone; overall, it completely met his expectations.

It was just that a Clone refined in this way would no longer have any possibility of further advancement.

Lin Shiming then controlled the Clone to begin Cultivating the Purple Wood Heart Sutra; to deceive the several Immortal Masters of the Qingxuan Sect, the Purple Wood Heart Sutra was essential.

His main body, meanwhile, began to recover his Divine Sense; he took out a large number of Three-Essence Spirit Refining Pills and began to recover in quiet meditation.

Ten days later, Lin Shiming, dressed in a blue robe, appeared outside his seclusion chamber; the Red-haired Demon Monkey immediately scurried over, and Wang Jiao also continuously transmitted Divine Soul fluctuations.

”Stone, Stone!”

The two beasts clearly detected no anomaly.

What the two beasts didn’t know was that, at this moment, beneath the stone chamber, Lin Shiming’s main body was also smiling lightly, watching this scene.

Immediately, he looked at Jin Chi, then at the Wood Demon, and then at the Star Spirit Shell.

Everything was extremely natural and extremely personal!

Lin Shiming then controlled the Clone to leave the Grotto-heaven World and began to move around the entire Fangmu Mountain, from the Hall of Teachings, to the Alchemy Pavilion, then to the Treasure Pavilion, the Peach Blossom Grove, finally stopping at Green Lotus Lake.

During this time, he encountered many Lin family Cultivators, including the current Lin family patriarch, Lin Houyong, and the head of the Weapon Crafting Hall, Lin Houfei.

But there were no surprises; no one noticed anything unusual, their eyes were all extremely calm.

Finally, Lin Shiming even personally caught a few Red Spirit Fish before re-entering the Grotto-heaven World.

He returned to the secluded stone chamber to continue Cultivating the Purple Wood Heart Sutra.

Countless Mianyang Pills and High-Grade Spirit Stones were given to the Clone.

Meanwhile, Lin Shiming’s main body stood atop the high platform of the mountain Peak, holding a green leaf in his hand.

This leaf was none other than the final style of the Three Slash of Heaven given to him by the Taiyi Sword Grass!

Back then, the Taiyi Sword Grass had told him that he could comprehend it when he could unleash a hundred Heavenly Severing Sword Arts during his tribulation; now that he had reached that point, it was the best time to deepen his Sword Intent.

His Divine Sense was clear, and the surrounding Sword Intent was released at will; around him, streaks of green light spread, and terrifying Sword Intent enveloped a hundred-foot radius.

He lightly exhaled a turbid breath, Cultivating the Kui Wood Sword Scripture again and again, filling the sword dao seed within his body with Sword Yuan, and also activating the Sword Nurturing Art.

He sat cross-legged until sunset, waiting until deep into the night.

He wanted to trigger the System’s prompt.

When the time was almost right, he finally placed the spirit leaf on his forehead.

As soon as the spirit leaf touched his forehead, it entered the sword dao seed.

The next moment, his vision suddenly changed.

He felt as if he had returned to a barren land, overgrown with weeds.

A gentle breeze blew the grass seeds, which landed and took root.

Lin Shiming was somewhat surprised, yet also somewhat familiar.

He had experienced this scene before, but this time, strangely, there was no Sword Intent whatsoever.

It was as if he were in a corner of the wilderness, witnessing the world’s cycles like a Mortal.

Sunrises and sunsets, time passed extremely quickly, but still, there was no Sword Intent.

Barren and silent, only the refreshing breeze blew in and out!

After an unknown period, he suddenly felt a seed, a faint Sword Intent began to permeate, and that Sword Grass began to sprout, quickly enduring countless cycles, the Sword Grass sprouted.

It stood in the wind, it faced the sky!

As if complaining of injustice, it drew its sword and struck at the heavens.

First Style, Severing Heaven!

Boom!

Lightning struck, and the firmament shifted!

However, the Sword Grass ultimately failed!

Severing Heaven failed, but under that Sword Intent, countless seeds fell into the Void Realm, rooting in the soil.

It fell into the Reincarnation of the Sword Grass again, and after countless years, countless Sword Grasses sprouted, releasing Sword Intent, Severing Heaven!

Second Style, Transcending Tribulation!

Terrifying Sword Intent completely filled the entire world; that dense sword light became the dominant tone of the Void Realm.

The terrifying strike even created one crack after another in the Void Realm!

However, this time, Severing Heaven still failed.

The firmament quickly repaired itself!

Along with it, the scene of the Sword Grass releasing its power also repaired itself.

Lin Shiming sat cross-legged, his eyes once again observing everything in the Grotto-heaven World, his mind comprehending the Sword Intent, and a bitter smile on his lips; he had gained something, but not much.

He had seen Severing Heaven, he had seen Transcending Tribulation, but he still hadn’t seen the third sword, Great Evolution.

At this moment, he even suspected that there was no third sword within the spirit leaf.

But the Taiyi Sword Grass had no reason to deceive him, which also indicated that this third style was far more complex than the second!

His comprehension of the Dao of the Sword could not be considered exceptionally talented.

Back then, he had comprehended the Heavenly Severing Sword Art also by relying on the System’s prompts.

And at this moment, the System’s prompt appeared again.

A scene reappeared in his mind, but this time, the scene seemed to have slowed down dozens of times.

His eyes grew even brighter, allowing him to see things he couldn’t see before.

It was still a barren scene devoid of Sword Intent, with weeds growing wildly.

How did Sword Intent come about?

Still unknown!

But at this moment, he discovered the rhythm of the wind, saw the dance of the grass with the sword; where did the Sword Intent come from?

From the heart!

Lin Shiming seemed to perceive something, like grasping a ray of dawn in the darkness.

The scene continued, and Lin Shiming forgot the passage of time; the System’s prompt slowly disappeared, and Lin Shiming’s body began to stand.

[To be honest, I’ve been using Wild Fruit Reading to read and follow updates recently, with source switching and multiple reading voices.

Available on Android and Apple.]

He was like a blade of Sword Grass, standing atop the mountain Peak, beneath the firmament!

A flash of insight settled in his heart!

Every blade of grass in that scene possessed Sword Intent; breaking through the soil was Sword Intent, whether great or small, abundant or scarce, manifest or hidden.

This third sword was the process from nothing to something, just like a Cultivator giving birth to Sword Intent.

Only this time, it was the birth of Sword Grass seeds.

Sword Intent transforming into seeds, Sword Seeds transforming into Sword Grass, Sword Grass severing the heavens!

At this moment, the sword style also achieved a perfect closed loop!

He raised his hand, still performing the previous Severing Heaven Sword Style!

A single blade of Sword Grass severed the heavens and split the earth, yet along the path of sword light, after one blade of Sword Grass, countless Sword Grasses permeated from within the Sword Intent.

Like wildly growing weeds!

One sword seemed like ten swords!

The sky rumbled, as if a black hole was opening.

The power of this one sword was truly terrifying compared to before.

His heart also became clearer; this third sword, Great Evolution, was not some standard sword style!

Or rather, the Three Slash of Heaven, in fact, only had one sword!

The second sword was the budding and accumulating of Sword Intent, forming a sword array.

By this third sword, it was clearly meant for him to grasp the profound mystery of Sword Genesis Myriad Laws.

Sword Genesis Myriad Laws was a higher Realm than Sword Qi Coagulation, which Lin Shiming naturally could not reach, but at this moment, when he executed Severing Heaven, he could barely achieve it.

Moreover, wherever his Sword Intent covered, it was his sword.

All could sever the heavens, unlike before, where it had to be around his body and propelled by true essence.

Furthermore, even when executing Transcending Tribulation with this Great Evolution Sword Style, its power was even more terrifying; Sword Intent generated Sword Intent, and Sword Grass generated Sword Grass!

If given the opportunity to accumulate power, and with sufficient Sword Intent, a hundred blades of Sword Grass could transform into a thousand, or even ten thousand!

This was Great Evolution!

With a thought, Sword Grass appeared on the Spirit Lake!

Beside the Red-haired Demon Monkey, Sword Grass appeared!

Beside Wang Jiao, Sword Grass appeared!

For a moment, the several beasts trembled, while Lin Shiming’s body remained completely still on the mountain Peak.

He looked at the Sword Grass, which emitted endless sword light, his face full of joy.

The Wood Demon, at some unknown point, also looked at him, but then, after a congratulatory remark, it suddenly turned away.

After a brief display, Lin Shiming sat down cross-legged again; the complexity of the third move, Great Evolution, was extremely high, and he had to calm his mind once more to summarize the sword move... Inside the Grotto-heaven World, the third-tier Spirit Peach Tree bore fruit again.

The large third-tier Spirit Peach emitted a fragrant aroma.

Lin Shiming took a step, his sharp Sword Intent making him appear like an unparalleled fierce sword.

His gaze fell upon the area beneath the fu ling fire mulberry fruit tree.

The Three-legged Alchemy Cauldron was wide open, but the spirit fire within was already gone.

Lin Shiming looked to the side with some surprise, only to see the Red-haired Demon Monkey currently bathed in spirit fire, like a fire monkey, its entire body’s spirit runes pulsating.

It was as if it had come alive, making the temperature of the flames grow higher and higher.

And within the flames, one could faintly see a spirit fox darting around the spirit monkey’s body!

Lin Shiming sensed again, and he suddenly discovered that the Red-haired Demon Monkey’s aura had actually reached the Peak of the third tier!

It even had the potential to become Lin Shiming’s first fourth-tier Purple Mansion Yao Beast!

He had purple profound treasure jade, and could also have Lin Shitao refine Purple Mansion Jade Liquid; moreover, for Yao Beasts, a Purple Mansion Yao Beast’s inner core was an even greater tonic.

If it had a Purple Mansion Yao Beast’s inner core, coupled with purple profound treasure jade, the Red-haired Demon Monkey’s chance of breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm would definitely exceed fifty percent!

As if seeing Lin Shiming arrive, the Red-haired Demon Monkey also began to howl.

Quite frantically!

Lin Shiming also nodded, indicating his affirmation!

The latter then continued to howl, even more urgently.

Lin Shiming chuckled, retrieved a Storage Pouch, and in front of the Red-haired Demon Monkey, placed a large amount of Beast Nurturing Pills, monkey wine, as well as spirit water, spirit beast meat, Mianyang Pills, and Black Spirit Fish!

Sure enough, as soon as the Storage Pouch was thrown over, the latter’s cries significantly diminished.

Of course, at this moment, Wang Jiao also began to transmit messages to him; Lin Shiming then rewarded Wang Jiao, Jin Chi, Star Spirit Shell, and others with spirit food one by one within the Grotto-heaven World.

After doing all this, he left the Grotto-heaven World; at the entrance of his Immortal Cave, there were already many transmission talismans.

Lin Shiming took the spirit talismans and checked them one by one.

Most of the spirit talismans were sent by Lin Houyong.

The messages also shocked Lin Shiming; Shuangmu Island had sent word that treasure-hunting Loose Cultivators had been discovered not far from Spirit Turtle Island!

And after Divine Sense soul-searching, a sea map was obtained, and that Cultivation World was not in the Eastern Region’s waters, nor was it adjacent to the Heavenly Demon Sect of Chu State, but rather the South Sea, where it was also called the South Sea Cultivation World!

The writing was also quite different.

Although Lin Shiming had been mentally prepared, after all, the Teleportation Array map they found must have been drawn by a Cultivation World within the South Sea region.

But the most important thing was the sphere of influence of the South Sea Cultivation World, and its distribution of power!

Also, what kind of treasure were those Loose Cultivators looking for?

The Lin family had not yet figured these things out.

Another piece of information was that the Golden Core Ceremony was about to begin, and furthermore, before the ceremony, there would be an Auction far exceeding any in the past!

The main item was a Profound Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique, the Nine Nether Profound Wind Scripture.
