Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

261: Testing and formation (two in one)At the end of the Bi River, a desolate peak soared into the clouds.

The river snaked out from within the mountain, revealing a massive Stalactite Cave about three zhang high.

The turbulent water flowed out of the Stalactite Cave, creating a tremendous roar.

At this moment, a hundred li outside the Stalactite Cave, a gigantic Jade Night Bat King flapped its enormous wings, transforming into terrifying whirlwinds that continuously blasted towards a gleaming war treasure ship.

On the ship, Li Chengxian watched the Jade Night Bat King charge over, his expression solemn, his brows tightly furrowed, as he continuously conjured one Spirit Art after another.

At the same time, a large number of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones continuously flowed towards several spirit platforms on the ship.

Seeing the Jade Night Bat King constantly emit strange whirlwinds, its fangs also incessantly hissed and roared, sending out waves of purple ripples.

Immediately, the ship’s golden Spirit Light expanded to its maximum, yet it was still shattered, layer after layer, by the purple ripples.

Fortunately, the war treasure ship had enough prohibitive Formations, and they could be activated continuously.

However, Li Chengxian’s true essence consumption was undoubtedly immense, and the consumption of Spirit Stones on the nearby treasure ship was also enormous.

The next moment, with a tremendous crash, the Jade Night Bat King shrieked, then transformed into a purple light, charging up fiercely. Three claw marks raked across the war treasure ship, and the entire hull began to shake violently.

But fortunately, as Li Chengxian continuously cast his spells, layers of Spirit Light once again emerged around the war treasure ship, protecting the vessel within.

The Bat King’s shriek grew even louder, and purple ripples surged out like a tide.

A Purple Mansion Great Demon was, after all, a Purple Mansion Great Demon. At this moment, it completely overwhelmed the war treasure ship.

Far from the battle, beneath a small mountain...

Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming were currently lying in ambush, their entire true essence suppressed to its lowest point.

Moreover, they had activated the Three Purities Qi Concealment Art; as long as it wasn’t a carpet search by a Cultivator’s Divine Sense, they would definitely not be discovered.

”Seventh Grand Uncle, Golden Corpse and Ye Wuyou are not here. It seems Li Chengxian is using Puppets and Golden Corpse’s corpse refining to activate the war treasure ship, holding back the Jade Night Bat King, while the two of them seize the opportunity to steal the spiritual milk!” Lin Shiming transmitted to Lin Xianzhi beside him.

Lin Xianzhi also nodded. Li Chengxian had no intention of attacking; he was purely on the defensive, stalling for time.

This sight left the Lin Family’s grandfather and grandson sighing with emotion.

This prominent Purple Mansion Family insisted on walking a dark path, following the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Not only was their Purple Mansion Old Ancestor slain, but now their only remaining Genius was being used as a pawn. What good was a war treasure ship?

Among all the Sects in this world, which one could truly be called righteous and honorable?

”Seventh Grand Uncle, let’s go to the entrance of the Stalactite Cave. There’s still a mountain-protecting Formation there. Even if Golden Corpse and Ye Wuyou are incredibly talented, they absolutely won’t be able to break in easily!” Lin Shiming transmitted again.

From Qian Yongfu’s memory, Lin Shiming knew clearly that without the key, that Formation could not be easily entered unless the Jade Night Bat King led the way.

The two continued to stealthily advance, and to avoid being discovered by the Jade Night Bat King, they even detoured according to the maximum Divine Sense range of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

They detoured all the way to the cave entrance.

Upon reaching this point, they felt at ease. Golden Corpse and Ye Wuyou wouldn’t use Divine Sense, and using Divine Sense now would definitely alert the Jade Night Bat King in the distance.

Of course, neither of them dared to use Divine Sense at this moment.

The two concealed themselves a thousand meters from the Immortal Cave. Lin Shiming wore his Azure Lotus Daoist Robe, coupled with the Three Purities Qi Concealment Art, and Lin Xianzhi also took out similar treasures.

As long as Cultivators didn’t recklessly use their Divine Sense, they naturally wouldn’t be discovered.

The two were not in a hurry. If the Formation was breached, the Jade Night Bat King would definitely sense it. Of course, Lin Shiming’s key would also sense it.

Lin Shiming took out his jade token, glanced at it, and seeing that the prohibitive Formations within were normal, he calmed down again.

The System prompt didn’t appear at this moment, so he wasn’t anxious.

Instead, he was somewhat curious how Golden Corpse and Ye Wuyou, who weren’t skilled in Formations, would break the Formation.

However, the next moment, with a loud bang, purple ripples emanated from afar. The two felt their heartbeats quicken significantly, as if controlled by those purple Spirit Runes.

In the distance, a phantom the size of a small mountain also appeared, approaching from afar.

Inside the Immortal Cave, only some ripples were seen in the Void Realm.

Lin Shiming didn’t dare to use his Divine Sense, but he knew that Golden Corpse had already come out and was fifty meters outside the Immortal Cave.

This position was truly daring; if the Jade Night Bat King discovered him, he would inevitably be torn to shreds and die without a doubt.

He was using the Void Realm Silkworm Coffin of the Five-Colored Silkworm that Qian Yongfu had previously tricked out, which was colorless, odorless, had no Spiritual Qi fluctuations, and could also block Divine Sense.

And if he wasn’t mistaken, Ye Wuyou was also inside the coffin.

Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi were both a little nervous at this moment. Although they were concealed far enough away, they were still wary.

Watching the Jade Night Bat King in the distance grow larger and larger...

He saw it stop at the entrance of the Stalactite Cave. Its two-zhang-long wingspan constantly flapped at the entrance, then it roared fiercely towards the inside of the cave.

Purple Spirit Rune ripples swept out again.

The Jade Night Bat King was clearly a ruthless character. Unable to detect the concealed Cultivators, it directly launched a frenzied attack at the cave entrance. Only after half an hour did the Jade Night Bat King give up, flapping its wings and flying into the Stalactite Cave!

Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi, at this moment, fully activated the Spirit Splitting Art, using the Soul Splitting Blade to dispel the Spirit Rune attacks within their bodies, yet they still suffered considerable injuries.

But at this moment, they dared not move. Lin Shiming even dared not look towards the Jade Night Bat King.

For some powerful Cultivators, even if it wasn’t Divine Sense, just a gaze would elicit a response, let alone a Purple Mansion Great Demon of this kind.

Fortunately, until the very end, the Jade Night Bat King detected no abnormalities.

As the Jade Night Bat King entered the Immortal Cave, Lin Shiming, with his keen eyesight, noticed that the Void Realm at the cave entrance had rippled slightly.

The rippling lasted for several breaths, and in the distance, a war treasure ship flew back again.

Spirit Light converged on the treasure ship, and a terrifying spiritual might gathered once more.

The next moment, it directly transformed into a giant Formation blade, blasting into the Stalactite Cave again!

”Boom!” A terrifying sound echoed again, and the Jade Night Bat King, having entered the Stalactite Cave, roared even more furiously, accompanied by bursts of purple Spirit Runes.

The next moment, they felt a colossal creature crash even more ferociously into the spirit boat.

The entire spirit boat instantly vibrated wildly.

Li Chengxian had not expected the Jade Night Bat King to be so fierce, but the war treasure ship, being called an existence comparable to a Purple Mansion, instantly radiated countless rays of light.

Countless spiritual shields shattered, but it still managed to resist at the last moment.

The war treasure ship transformed into a golden glow again, rushing into the distance.

The Jade Night Bat King grew even more furious, its terrifying purple spiritual claws constantly sweeping across the war treasure ship’s spiritual shield.

As the Purple Mansion Great Demon departed, the Void Realm in front of the Stalactite Cave seemed to ripple again, creating a wave-like disturbance.

Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi exchanged glances. Neither moved. Although they didn’t transmit messages, both were extremely vigilant.

The Golden Corpse and Ye Wuyou before them were clearly trying to find the living gate of the Formation by repeatedly luring the Jade Night Bat King in and out, thereby stealing the thousand-year spiritual milk and spiritual marrow.

After another ten breaths, ripples in the Void Realm flashed across the Stalactite Cave entrance again.

And as the ripples flashed, Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi exchanged glances once more.

Both felt a lingering fear. As expected of demonic Cultivators, even at such a moment, they were still on guard against anyone secretly following them.

At this moment, they couldn’t communicate with Divine Sense, but neither of them acted impulsively.

And Lin Shiming’s System prompt appeared again:

”Please be careful of the hidden Golden Corpse and Ye Wuyou!”

Lin Shiming was instantly greatly alarmed.

At this moment, he clearly saw Lin Xianzhi intending to go down and set up a Formation.

He quickly conveyed his expression!

Lin Xianzhi dared not ignore Lin Shiming at this moment. Even though it was the best time, the two still chose to lie in ambush again.

Another ten breaths. This time, ripples appeared at the Stalactite Cave entrance again, but this flash was noticeably smaller than the previous two.

It was only then that both of them simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

This Golden Corpse had actually tested them twice in a row!

If it were an ordinary Cultivator, they would naturally have been discovered by Golden Corpse and Ye Wuyou.

As the two entered to break the Formation, Lin Shiming also noticed that the key in his hand began to emit a faint Spirit Light.

”Seventh Grand Uncle, set up the Formation!” Lin Shiming transmitted to Lin Xianzhi, and the two quietly returned to the cave entrance.

With over twenty Formation Flags scattered around...

Spirit Light continuously shot out. Although it was their first time setting it up, Lin Xianzhi had already simulated it countless times, completing it in one go.

The next moment, with a wave of Lin Xianzhi’s hand, the Ren Water Trapping Sky Formation was formed again.

”Old Monster Qian, how dare you!” Inside the Stalactite Cave, Golden Corpse and Ye Wuyou immediately shouted!

They clearly believed it was a Qian Family Cultivator before them. The Ren Water Geng Metal Art, plus the Ren Water Trapping Sky Formation, no wonder they mistook them!

As soon as the Formation was set up, Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming frantically retreated backward.

In a blink of an eye, they transformed into a glow and disappeared.

And inside, a transparent coffin suddenly rushed out, but it only crashed into the Ren Water Trapping Sky Formation!

The Ren Water Trapping Sky Formation had blocked the cave entrance, and a thousand li away, the Jade Night Bat King, sensing something, furiously rushed back.

The giant bat’s mouth roared incessantly, and purple Spirit Rune attacks, like a tsunami, surged wave after wave, each higher than the last.

Behind the Jade Night Bat King, Li Chengxian continuously controlled the spirit boat to attack, but the Jade Night Bat King at this moment paid no heed.

It frantically rushed to the cave entrance, crashing towards Golden Corpse and Ye Wuyou.

Golden Corpse took out a large number of self-detonating Spirit Corpses, intending to contaminate the Ren Water Trapping Sky Formation and escape.

However, the Ren Water Trapping Sky Formation was different from ordinary mountain-protecting formations; its emphasis was on illusion and entrapment.

Although the self-detonating Spirit Corpses created a vacuum and blood-red light filled the sky upon detonation...

They were ultimately trapped by the Ren Water Trapping Sky Formation and could not escape. Golden Corpse’s expression changed drastically. He unleashed countless giant metal corpses again, and the next moment, he took out another Spirit Corpse and immediately performed a blood escape.

However, the Ren Water Trapping Sky Formation had already been activated to its maximum by Lin Xianzhi at this moment. Even Golden Corpse’s blood escape could not escape the Formation, and instead, it caused the latter to lose a considerable amount of vital blood and another excellent Spirit Corpse!

His face grew even gloomier. He hadn’t expected that his previous blood escape was only possible because Qian Yongfu had significantly reduced the Formation, allowing him to escape.

Needless to say, the nearby Ye Wuyou had no choice but to release a giant Heavenly Demon Banner.

The Heavenly Demon Banner fluttered in the Ying Feng, instantly growing to thirty or forty zhang. Countless Devil Heads rushed out, covering him, preparing to block the impending attack.

Since escape was impossible, they could only forcefully block!

Not blocking the Formation, but blocking the impending attack from the Purple Mansion Yao Beast!

A terrifying spiritual might arrived first, followed by the Jade Night Bat King’s colossal beast body, which directly crashed into the Formation.

As the Ren Water Trapping Sky Formation was activated, countless streams of water immediately rose.

They transformed into thick water walls.

But the Ren Water Trapping Sky Formation was not a Fourth-Order Formation after all. Struck from the outside by the Purple Mansion Yao Beast, it immediately began to crack, clearly indicating that one more attack could directly shatter the Ren Water Trapping Sky Formation.

It also revealed the figures of Golden Corpse and Ye Wuyou.

The Jade Night Bat King was even more enraged. Its cold gaze seemed to want to devour the two, its sharp, long teeth parted, and purple ripples spread out like from the center of a lake.

They almost covered the entire space near Golden Corpse and Ye Wuyou. The two’s expressions changed drastically, and they unleashed several more techniques.

Yet they still vomited blood profusely. Fortunately, several of them had countless refined corpses and Devil Heads blocking in front, which managed to block this Spirit Rune attack!

Xiaoshuting

And under the Formation, unnoticed by anyone, two figures had already gone from beneath the Ren Water Trapping Sky Formation towards the Stalactite Cave.

This move was precisely the hidden Formation that Qian Yongfu had used, hiding at the bottom of the Ren Water Trapping Sky Formation.

But at this moment, both of them were also spurting blood from their mouths, suffering no minor injuries, and they weren’t even the main targets of the attack.

The two moved extremely fast, rushing into the Immortal Cave. Inside, the entire Stalactite Cave was dripping water everywhere, drip-dropping into the underground river, with various stalactites floating in the cave.

The two dared not hesitate, controlling their sword light, reaching extreme speed.

Soon, they saw a vast underground Stalactite Cave world.

This Stalactite Cave hall was even larger, spanning several hundred zhang.

And at the top of the Stalactite Cave, various strangely shaped stalactites hung down like spears.

A vast Spiritual Qi washed over the two, also revealing layers of purple Spirit Light shields before them.

This Spirit Light shield was naturally the mountain-protecting Formation.

This mountain-protecting Formation had two entry methods: a living gate and a key.

The Jade Night Bat King entered through the living gate, and if others trespassed, they would be led into the death gate by the mountain-protecting Formation.

And Golden Corpse and Ye Wuyou had previously observed the cave entrance to find the living gate’s location, then attempted to enter the living gate using refined corpses.

But at this moment, Lin Shiming, who had the key, didn’t need such trouble. He took out the key wooden token and waved it towards the Formation.

Immediately, the purple spiritual shield began to slowly fade, directly leaving a passage the height of a person.

The two rushed inside without hesitation.

Upon entering the hall, an even denser Spiritual Qi almost submerged them.

And among the many hanging stalactites, in the center, one stone plate after another appeared. Inside each stone plate, there was a considerable amount of shimmering spiritual liquid.

These were precisely the hundred-year spiritual milk and thousand-year spiritual milk that Lin Shiming had seen before.

However, many of the stone plates were empty, evidently having been consumed by the Jade Night Bat King.

And among the many stone plates, at the very center was an even more brilliant jade plate. Inside the jade plate, a drop of crystalline liquid, like a white star, shone dazzlingly.
