Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

381: Improve your consciousness and kill the frost mantisAt Laifeng Inn, Lin Shiming requested a High Grade room. In his hand, he held a Jade Slip.

The information within the Jade Slip was none other than the details of the island where the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis resided.

He had exchanged for the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis’s information at the Purple Mansion trade fair. Now, he intended to give Real Person Xuri a chance, so it was naturally impossible for him to go to Tianxiang Island.

In his estimation, Real Person Xuri would not spread this matter. If he handled it well, he could still return to Tianxiang Island safely, only with a different Rising Sun Island Master.

Moreover, in his opinion, Real Person Hongye would not be so greedy.

The Ice Ganoderma Island, where the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis was located, was the place Lin Shiming had prepared.

Ice Ganoderma Island, like Tianxiang Island, was an outer affiliated island, famous for its abundant Ice Ganoderma Flowers, and it belonged to Rain Copper Island.

Speaking of which, True Person Yutong was the unfortunate Immortal Master who had been framed by the Leech Demon King and lost five quota spots.

The Island Master of Ice Ganoderma Island had also perished during this Secret Realm trip, which made things even more convenient for him.

Lin Shiming looked at this information, partly for himself and partly for Real Person Xuri to see.

As soon as the System notification updated, he realized that Real Person Xuri was monitoring him again.

This prevented him from taking out and assimilating the treasures he had obtained in the Ziyang Secret Realm, including the Ziyang Pagoda, ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine, and even the corpse of an Ice Flood Dragon... This made him secretly resentful.

However, Lin Shiming did take out the Hidden Sky Net, Jinye Sword, and Soul Suppressing Tower one by one to nurture them.

He did not leave immediately.

Firstly, his own injuries had not healed. If he left at this time, Real Person Xuri might become suspicious.

Secondly, Real Person Xuri had also experienced a great battle. He didn’t know the extent of his injuries, but it was definitely when he was most vigilant. An injured Cultivator’s cunning was far several times that of an uninjured Cultivator.

What’s more, for a Golden Core True Person, once he reached his Peak state, facing Lin Shiming, the other party would naturally feel that everything was under control.

However, with injuries, he would surely be hesitant and perhaps have countless contingency plans. If Lin Shiming failed, he could escape, but he could also easily be condemned by Real Person Xuri.

If the entire Coral Alliance were to blame, the Lin family would be in trouble.

Lin Shiming stayed at Laifeng Inn for a month. Although he had no other gains during that month, Lin Shiming’s sword dao seed sword essence became extremely vigorous again, and his entire body’s true essence became even more profound. When circulated, it surged like clouds. Compared to when he first broke through to the Mid Purple Mansion Realm, he had undoubtedly progressed greatly.

And this was the benefit of countless narrow escapes from death and battles.

At the same time, he had also refined the illusory spirit gourd. The greatest power of this Magic Treasure was to release Illusory Spirit Mist. However, the gourd used to craft this illusory spirit gourd had not reached its highest age, which was why this Magic Treasure only had the power of a High Grade Magic Treasure.

The illusory spirit vine seed Magic Treasure, after being catalyzed by true essence, could grow into a complete Illusory Spirit Vine and bear several illusory spirit gourds, releasing Illusory Spirit Mist to achieve illusionary effects.

Generally, Body Cultivators with weak Divine Sense, if caught in the Illusory Spirit Mist, would absolutely be unable to break free in a short time.

However, the disadvantage was still the same: the illusory spirit vine seed was a top-grade Magic Treasure. Although he had the Thousand Wood Spirit Body, which provided a boost in this aspect, the Illusory Spirit Vine could only grow to about a foot thick, and only one spirit gourd could be formed.

He couldn’t fully activate it unless he reached the Purple Mansion Late Stage or his true essence increased significantly again.

But the good news was that the illusory spirit vine seed Magic Treasure, after being catalyzed, could be removed from the illusory spirit gourd.

And it could be attached to any Magic Treasure.

Lin Shiming was naturally extremely satisfied with this, as it opened up many possibilities.

Unpredictable Magic Treasures could only achieve miraculous effects in life-and-death battles.

He looked out the window and finally got up, walking out of the room.

His Divine Sense sensed a faint, almost imperceptible Divine Sense monitoring him.

Lin Shiming hadn’t expected Real Person Xuri to arrange for Cultivators, but he still pretended not to care.

He bought some Spirit Talismans and Formation Plates from the surrounding talisman and Formation shops.

Then he returned to Laifeng Inn.

He didn’t know how fast a Golden Core True Person recovered, but he assumed it was much slower than a Purple Mansion Cultivator, and he also wanted to test the other party’s patience.

He entered seclusion once more, this time using a purple zenith sandalwood.

The wisps of sandalwood smoke slowly rose, like the incense smoke of an immortal palace, transforming into a smoke Dragon and entering Lin Shiming’s body.

Unlike the ten people sharing it in Xuri Palace, Lin Shiming absorbed it alone, and the feeling of his Divine Soul strengthening was even more intense, causing his Divine Soul to fall into a comfortable state of intoxication.

He dared not be careless. The preciousness of purple zenith sandalwood was not that of ordinary incense, so he quickly activated the Spirit Splitting Art.

The Soul Splitting Blade continuously slashed out, and the Spirit Splitting Art continuously repaired, causing his Divine Soul to grow bit by bit.

Ten days passed, and the purple zenith sandalwood burned for a full ten days.

He opened his eyes, his Divine Sense involuntarily spreading outwards.

He gazed into the distance, then retracted his Divine Sense. His Divine Sense had finally broken through to the Purple Mansion Late Stage.

His Divine Sense was already extraordinary; when he first entered the Early Violet Palace Stage, his Divine Sense was not far from the Mid Purple Mansion Realm, and it had become much stronger in Xuri Palace.

And this one purple zenith sandalwood had allowed him to completely break through.

The Breakthrough in Divine Sense meant that he could control Magic Treasures and explore his surroundings with greater ease.

It also made it easier to deal with the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis. Real Person Xuri would deal with it using the Yan Yang Sword, so Lin Shiming naturally felt it would be rude to also have the Yan Yang Sword attack this Purple Mansion Late Stage Yao Beast.

Next, he stabilized for another ten days before getting up again.

The System notifications these past few days were all about Real Person Xuri checking on him, clearly growing more anxious, which greatly pleased him.

As soon as he stepped out of his room, the Divine Sense monitoring him reappeared.

Lin Shiming remained calm, walking down the street, browsing shops, buying Spirit Talismans and Spirit Medicine as usual, and even purchasing two Artifact Refining furnaces.

He put on a show of being engaged in Artifact Refining.

Then, in a certain corner, he suddenly accelerated and stealthily headed out of the island!

After leaving Rising Sun Island, he circled the island a few times, then, wearing the spirit isolation gauze, he landed back on the island.

A simple cultivation concealing Spell also fell upon him, but this time, the cultivation concealment was not done by the Book of Hidden Paths. If other Purple Mansion Cultivators were to investigate carefully, they could easily discover it.

However, that was precisely the effect he wanted!

He straightened his clothes, took out a few Spirit Stones, and then walked towards the Teleportation Array.

The Teleportation Array on Rising Sun Island belonged to the inner island Teleportation Array. The teleportation grounds were extremely luxurious and even more interconnected, allowing travel to other large sea areas. However, such long-distance Teleportation Arrays required a huge sum of Spirit Stones.

Lin Shiming naturally went directly to Ice Ganoderma Island.

As the Teleportation Array’s light flickered, Lin Shiming opened his eyes again and saw a vast, cloudless island. However, the Cultivators responsible for the Teleportation Array around him were all extremely serious.

Lin Shiming, wearing the spirit isolation gauze and having concealed his cultivation, was still questioned.

Clearly, the death of the Island Master and the appointment of the new Island Master had made Ice Ganoderma Island extremely wary.

Lin Shiming went to a shop on Ice Ganoderma Island, spent ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and bought a simple map.

Then he directly headed towards the sea area where the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis was located.

Once he reached Ice Ganoderma Island, Real Person Xuri might make his move. After all, in his eyes, it was just a Purple Mansion Cultivator, easily dealt with.

And if the Yan Yang Sword were to fight Real Person Xuri and leak the news, it would also be disadvantageous to him.

He needed Real Person Xuri to die silently!

Lin Shiming took out the purple wind boat. The speed of the purple wind boat, in the vast sea, quickly galloped away, leaving a faint spiritual trace... Not long after Lin Shiming left, a Cultivator in a red robe with a spirit isolation gauze also stood in the air.

His eyes shot out golden light, and Lin Shiming’s figure quickly appeared within the golden light.

Seeing Lin Shiming take out the purple wind boat, he was not surprised. Being able to kill Purple Jade Sanren and gain much in the Ziyang Secret Realm, he naturally didn’t believe Lin Shiming was merely poaching Spirit Medicine.

One should know that on two of those Spirit Medicines, he had also sensed some traces of Blood Cultivation Sect Cultivators.

These Spirit Medicines had passed through the hands of Blood Cultivation Sect Cultivators!

These two Spirit Medicines were taken by Lin Shiming from the Storage Pouch of a Blood Cultivation Sect Cultivator, specifically added to attract Real Person Xuri.

It just so happened that Real Person Xuri also found clues.

He even suspected that the Cultivators from Ten Thousand Buddha Island and the Blood Cultivation Sect had died by Lin Shiming’s hand.

His gaze became even more terrifying. Lin Shiming likely possessed means beyond the Purple Mansion Peak.

Although Lin Shiming had employed many tactics along the way, he still had this feeling.

Moreover, Lin Shiming hadn’t organized the treasures from the Ziyang Secret Realm, which, in his opinion, was the most unusual thing!

In his hand, sixteen beads appeared, and his eyes finally settled a little. A wisp of silver silk robe also appeared on his left side.

”To kill a Purple Mansion Cultivator is like this, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way...” Real Person Xuri murmured, and the silver silk robe fell upon him, then his figure disappeared into thin air.

Not a trace of Qi remained... On an unnamed island, the evening sea was bathed in the fiery red afterglow of the setting sun, extending from the depths of the horizon.

A spirit boat soon emerged from the end of the sea. On the spirit boat, Lin Shiming stood against the strong winds.

The faint starlight made him appear even more sacred.

The purple wind boat’s speed was faster than any spirit boat he had before, and the strong winds at sea far surpassed those in the Eastern Domain, which made his Starlight Body Tempering Art even more perfectly tempered.

It’s just that the star spirit floss was of greater importance, so Lin Shiming did not take out the star spirit floss to Cultivate.

Lin Shiming’s gaze extended to the island, where he saw a tall mountain piercing the clouds. Aside from the island not being large, the height of that mountain was truly the tallest he had ever seen.

The Peak of the mountain was covered in a pristine white, clearly frozen into ice and frost due to its extreme height.

Lin Shiming descended from the island and began to set up a Formation. Since the System notification didn’t appear, Real Person Xuri naturally didn’t make a move.

He understood in his heart that Real Person Xuri was so cautious that he wanted to make his move after he had dealt with the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis.

Or perhaps he wanted to force out his means.

However, a Purple Mansion Late Stage Great Yao couldn’t force anything out of him.

Especially after coming out of the Secret Realm, his strength was even greater than before.

Formation Flags flew into the surroundings of the island one by one. As the last spiritual incantation was cast, the Formation Plate immediately connected to various Formation bases, enveloping the entire island!

This Formation was merely a Fourth-Grade Low Grade Formation called the Eight Directions Thick Earth Formation. It drew upon the power of the earth from all eight directions, not only possessing astonishing defense but also capable of isolating Divine Sense.

For Lin Shiming, although it wasn’t the best Formation at the moment, it was the most suitable.

The Ten-Winged Frost Mantis’s spiritual power was concentrated on ice, frost, and speed.

”Rise!”

As the last spiritual incantation was cast, countless earthy-yellow Spirit Light began to spread, forming a huge spiritual shield that covered the entire island.

Just then, Lin Shiming suddenly felt the surrounding temperature drop increasingly.

And it rapidly accelerated. His gaze turned towards the mountain.

He saw the icy, snowy white begin to surge downwards like a tide.

All the greenery began to freeze, and extreme cold storms flew out one by one.

Mantis-type Yao Beasts generally had similar temperaments; they wouldn’t howl like other Great Yao, but would directly attack.

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 a yellow ox. Its snow-white mantis blades exuded a chilling coldness. Its four pairs of transparent white wings, plus a pair of hidden spiritual wings, made its speed several times faster than Lin Shiming’s purple wind boat.

Its fangs were also extremely long and sharp, and its claws were full of terrifying serrations.

It flew, bringing with it roaring ice and frost storms.

Lin Shiming released two Soul Suppressing Towers, blocking in front and activating soul-capturing, causing the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis to pause instantly.

This Frost Mantis Great Yao’s Divine Soul was not particularly strong.

He waved his hand again, and the two Soul Suppressing Towers pressed down towards the Frost Mantis. At the same time, in his hand, the newly refined illusory spirit gourd also released Illusory Spirit Mist towards the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis.

However, the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis was too fast. A white light flashed, dodging both the Soul Suppressing Tower and the Illusory Spirit Mist.

It quickly arrived in front of Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming also extended his crescent moon guard blade to clash with the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis. He was also a Mid Purple Mansion Realm Body Cultivator.

Whoosh!

The piercing sound of blades cutting emanated. Lin Shiming only felt a tremor in his hand, and even the crescent moon guard blade began to show a tiny gap.

This showed how sharp the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis’s blades were.

Lin Shiming shook his hand, shaking off the frost on it.

The Spirit Locking Whip in his hand was swung out again, but its speed was still too slow.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming couldn’t help but frown. He used the Leaping Void Disc twice to dodge the Frost Mantis’s attacks, trying to counterattack from behind, but he couldn’t do it at all.

Finally, he had to activate the Soul Suppressing Tower again, also releasing soul-capturing.

This time, the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis’s resistance was significantly stronger, only pausing briefly.

However, Lin Shiming only needed that brief pause. The spiritual incantation in his hand activated, and countless vines grew from within the Soul Suppressing Tower.

These vines were extremely thick and covered with spiritual patterns, quickly binding the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis.

Moreover, an illusory spirit gourd also formed, releasing Illusory Spirit Mist along with the illusory spirit gourd he controlled.

This time, although the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis constantly swung its mantis blades, severing many vines, it did not escape the Illusory Spirit Mist.

The entire Yao Beast attacked frantically in all directions, while Lin Shiming swung a Jinye Sword in his hand, executing a Heavenly Severing Sword Art, severing the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis’s head.

As he severed it, he felt a slight regret. If it weren’t for the Golden Winged Mantis’s need, he would have been tempted to control it with a Spirit Control Seal.

Lin Shiming put away his Magic Treasures one by one and flew towards the Ten-Winged Frost Mantis.

Just then, the System notification sounded:

”Please release the Yan Yang Sword, otherwise you will be killed by Real Person Xuri in one blow!”
