Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

604: The later stage of Jindan (please subscribe and ask for monthly tickets)Inside the Grotto-Heaven, accompanied by a brilliant golden light, a Gathering Immortal Talisman ascended, and the boundless Spiritual Qi began to converge towards the high platform.

It was as if countless Spiritual Qi Dragons swarmed towards the center, causing a massive phenomenon.

Within the Spiritual Eye Spring, vast Spiritual Power also surged forth, ultimately absorbed by the figure at the very center.

It scattered countless Lingxia (Spiritual Haze).

However, these Lingxia (Spiritual Haze) were not colorful, but rather cyan.

And within them, many Sword Grass were covered, sharp beyond compare.

Inside the Jiaolong Nest, several Fourth-Tier Jiaolong poked out their heads; they too were startled by the cyan light, looking towards the high platform with even greater fear in their eyes.

Then, they continued to squeeze further into the Jiaolong Nest.

Above the Spirit Lake, the Water Spirit Shell and Star Spirit Shell both surfaced together, but very quickly, they submerged back into the water.

Above the Spirit Lake, it began as if countless Flying Swords were cutting.

Some Spirit Fish that reacted too slowly were even sliced into cyan threads by these cyan lights.

Even the giant mysterious black fish had many scales pared off, which was enough to show the terrifying nature of this cyan light.

All the Spirit Beasts in the Grotto-Heaven looked over; however, they either hid in the Spirit Lake or within the Formation, watching the high sky above the platform, where a figure stood firm like a pine tree.

His eyes were tightly shut, and the expression on his face remained calm.

If one looked closely, they would find that at this moment, Lin Shiming’s entire body was like a starry sky, profound and boundless.

And his Golden Core had grown even larger, with the sword patterns on it becoming even clearer.

The Sword Origin of the Kui Wood Sword Scripture filled his body, like a surging river, ceaseless and vibrant; the extending cyan light was the Sword Origin that he emanated.

A long time passed again; the next moment, accompanied by waves of True Essence surging forth, an even more terrifying aura transformed into a Spiritual Qi ripple, sweeping outwards in all directions.

Lin Shiming’s Divine Sense began to expand again, which had already far exceeded the limit of a Golden Core Cultivator; however, since he was currently in the Grotto-Heaven, he could not fully extend it.

In addition to his Divine Sense, his Physical Body strength had also increased significantly, and at the same time, nearly half of his body had transformed into Sword Origin at this moment.

This meant that any casual strike from him contained extreme Sword Intent, which was precisely the formidable aspect of the Kui Wood Sword Scripture.

After experiencing numerous benefits such as a Breakthrough in his state of mind, the removal of Evil Qi, and a Breakthrough in his Divine Sense, Lin Shiming’s Breakthrough this time was exceptionally smooth.

He didn’t feel any obstruction at all.

Of course, this was also related to Lin Shiming himself being a Thousand Wood Spirit Body and having many fortuitous encounters.

Today, he finally broke through to the Late Golden Core Stage on his two hundred and fortieth birthday.

The next step was to become a Nascent Soul True Lord.

And a Cultivator of this age and Realm was rare even in the entire South Sea.

Those Genius Cultivators might progress extremely quickly during Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion, but it was normal to be stuck in the Golden Core Realm for hundreds of years.

Lin Shiming waved his hand again, checked his body, and then stepped down from the high platform.

As he took each step, the cyan light and the Sword Origin phenomenon moved with him.

He hadn’t expected that his Sword Domain, which he hadn’t fully refined in Golden Jade Mountain, had now reached Minor Achievement due to his Breakthrough.

Thus, his current Sword Domain strength should, in some sense, be much stronger than that of Tian Liu True Person back then.

Moreover, due to the nourishment of the sword core, his Taiyi Sword Grass had now reached the Fifth-Tier Middle Stage.

This gave Lin Shiming the confidence to fear no one among Golden Core Cultivators, and even against a Nascent Soul Cultivator, if he had not fully mastered the Nascent Soul Domain, he could barely resist one or two.

As for defeating and truly contending, Lin Shiming didn’t have much confidence.

He still only had the option to flee.

Of course, if he encountered a Nascent Soul with an intact Legacy like the Autumn Blood Sword, he could only flee in disarray and pray for good fortune.

The gap between Middle Stage Golden Core and Late Golden Core Stage was extremely vast, and Lin Shiming didn’t believe the gap in Nascent Soul would be much smaller than that.

“Congratulations, Master, on breaking through to the Late Golden Core Stage; the Dao is within reach!” Old Wood and Thunder Child stepped out one by one.

Then the Star Spirit Shell and Water Spirit Shell also spoke.

Even the giant mysterious black fish spoke with a deep voice.

Clearly, after so many years in the Grotto-Heaven, its sentience had finally developed to the point of being able to speak.

Old Wood at this moment was the same as before, appearing to be in the Early Stage of Purple Mansion, while Thunder Child had already reached the Purple Mansion Late Stage of strength.

The Star Spirit Shell was also Early Stage Golden Core, while the Water Spirit Shell remained Purple Mansion Late Stage.

However, he also knew that Thunder Child’s slow progress was because its main body was the Golden Thunder Bamboo, which naturally grows slowly, and he hadn’t used the Wind of Rejuvenation Minor Divine Ability on it.

As for the Water Spirit Shell, it was purely because its potential had been exhausted.

“How long have I been in seclusion?” Lin Shiming asked.

“Replying to Master, you have been in seclusion for a total of fifteen years!” Old Wood replied.

Lin Shiming frowned; he hadn’t expected a full fifteen years to have passed.

He also directly exited the Grotto-Heaven; in normal times, fifteen years would be just a short nap.

But at this time, with the Dark Spirit Race in the Eastern Domain, the Ancient Demon Clan, and the Tai Gan Shark Clan in the South Sea—these forces surrounding them—Lin Shiming was naturally full of apprehension.

Upon exiting the Grotto-Heaven, Lin Shiming saw that Shuangmu Island was still orderly, so he nodded, relieved.

If, after his seclusion, Shuangmu Island had turned into ruins, Lin Shiming would probably feel immensely guilty.

Actually, according to his plan, seven or eight years would have been enough for the Breakthrough, but he had still somewhat underestimated the gap between the Late Golden Core Stage and the Middle Stage Golden Core.

“Shiming!” In the distance, Lin Xianzhi walked out from the mountain peak.

“Seventh Grand Uncle, how is the situation now?” Under the coverage of Lin Shiming’s Divine Sense, he found that the Family had gained many more Purple Mansion Cultivators, and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators had also increased significantly.

“The situation has started to become less optimistic, but currently, Yunyue Island has formed the Anti-Shark Sect, which now has nine True Lord combat strengths, and including our Lin Family’s Autumn Blood Sword, there are currently ten True Lords.”

“And the Tai Gan Mist of the Tai Gan Shark Clan has already begun to expand, but for now, it hasn’t reached our defensive line, and what has appeared are only some Third-Tier and Fourth-Tier Tai Gan Sharks!” Lin Xianzhi said.

As soon as he said this, Lin Shiming knew that the Tai Gan Shark Clan might have already accumulated enough power, and it was estimated that they had brought no less than seven or eight True Lord level powers through the Heavenly Gate.

Otherwise, it would never have started so easily.

He just wasn’t sure if the highest True Lord among them was a Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Lord.

Lin Shiming was a little worried, but thinking that other families should be even more worried, he didn’t feel so afraid anymore.

“Additionally, Shiming, judging by the commotion, Shitao and Lei Xuan should be about to break through. Of course, the momentum on North Sword Pavilion’s side is even greater!” Lin Xianzhi spoke again.

Lei Xuan and Lin Shitao had both entered seclusion for their Breakthroughs before he did.

It was somewhat unexpected that they hadn’t succeeded yet.

As for the situation at North Sword Pavilion, Lin Shiming was filled with anticipation! (End of Chapter)
