Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

463: Destroy the Chu family and the genius of Binglinggen (two-in-one thanks to the 100 reward from Mount Fuji)The Blood Pool shattered, and the blood snakes vanished, as if they had never appeared.

Looking at the massive destruction and the still-churning, broken Blood Pool, Lin Shiming felt a wave of relief.

If he hadn’t interfered in the South Sea, if True Person Liuhe had been here, he probably wouldn’t have been able to destroy this Blood Pool so calmly and find its greatest weakness.

It wouldn’t have been so easy to achieve such a stable victory then; he might not even have been able to escape.

Of course, this also attributed to the power of the Yan Yang Sword.

Spirit Cultivators were indeed superior to the Human Race in certain aspects.

This also reminded him of the Jade Slips from the Tai Bai Sword Palace.

If the Sword Intent shrouded behind the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain truly belonged to a Spirit Cultivator, then the Karma he had incurred that day would force him to think twice before acting!

Lin Shiming quickly shook his head, discarding those unrealistic thoughts. His most crucial task now was to eliminate the invaders on Fangmu Mountain and resolve the inner demons of Lin Shiyuan and even himself.

Then, he would successfully form his Golden Core.

The Yan Yang Sword was retrieved into his hand.

He flew out from underground and headed towards Fangmu Mountain.

Following the underground anomaly, Fangmu Mountain had already activated its mountain-protecting Formation. Brilliant Spirit Light covered the entire peak, shrouding it in mist. Several Purple Mansion Cultivators flew out and landed in the very center.

Clearly, they had been prepared, knowing that Lin Shiming and even the Lin Family might come.

”Which Fellow Daoist approaches?”

”One who takes the lives of the Chu Family dogs!” Lin Shiming roared, descending from the sky.

The brilliant Spirit Light and fierce Aura were instantly unleashed, pressing down on Fangmu Mountain.

Boom!

Lin Shiming’s Sword Genesis Myriad Laws Sword Intent erupted, crashing into the Formation with a tremendous roar.

The entire grand Formation began to violently shake and tremble, as if about to be destroyed by the Sword Intent.

The several Purple Mansion Cultivators were also greatly alarmed, and they frantically shot out Formation Flags once more.

This time, the Formation Flags were black. Amidst the surging Spirit Light, one could see the faint images of eighteen smaller Heavenly Demon Banners appearing within the demonic mist.

Within these spectral images, countless wails began to emerge, and one could even vaguely discern many distorted, ferocious faces.

All the demonic shadows connected into a single line.

Forming a massive fifth-grade defensive Formation!

Lin Shiming hadn’t expected True Person Liuhe to provide the Chu Family with a fifth-grade Formation, which showed the extent of True Person Liuhe’s arrangements this time.

However, he was happy with this outcome; the Heavenly Demon Sect losing a fifth-grade Formation would probably make them ache!

Lin Shiming waved his hand again, and the remaining five Spirit Devouring Ants from his grotto-heaven space all rushed out, heading towards the demonic shadow shield.

Each Spirit Devouring Ant gnashed its fangs, incomparably fierce, its abdomen’s starlight and dark light intertwining, making the Spirit Devouring Ant appear even more eerie and terrifying!

At the same time, his ten Soul Suppressing Towers descended upon Fangmu Mountain. This time, he would not allow a single Chu Family member to leave Fangmu Mountain alive.

As the Spirit Devouring Ants descended, the Yan Yang Sword immediately struck out. At this moment, Lin Shiming would not make the mistake of holding back.

He also didn’t believe in the idea of having to do everything himself. The Yan Yang Sword could instantly kill those two Purple Mansion Cultivators and completely shatter the entire Formation.

The remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Qi Refining Cultivators began to flee in all directions.

However, their escape was merely suicidal.

At this moment, Lin Shiyuan also rushed out, accompanied by his Spirit Beast, the pure-blooded Azure Scale Python.

Back at the Auction, the Lin Family had acquired the Azure Scale Python precisely for Lin Shiyuan.

Through the Soul Restraining Seal, it could now fight. The Azure Scale Python was at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage from birth, and now it could effectively eliminate the Chu Family Cultivators.

At this moment, Lin Shiyuan had completely transformed into a killing god, just as he had been during the beast tide—cold and exhilarated, filled with slaughter and joy!

This expression was now fully evident on Lin Shiyuan’s face.

Each of his strikes was a guaranteed kill, and the Nine Nether Profound Wind Scripture was utilized to its utmost.

Unprecedentedly terrifying!

In fact, Lin Shiming even felt that Lin Shiyuan, at this moment, had entered a state of Epiphany.

His great revenge was being exacted, and decades of forbearance were finally unleashed!

Lin Shiming wasn’t idle either; he confined several Late Foundation Establishment Stage Chu Family Cultivators into the Soul Suppressing Tower.

Then he ordered the Five-Colored Jiao, Cloud Dragon, Golden Wings, Red-furred Beast, and even the Star Spirit Shell and Thunder Child, to all attack.

At this moment, it was a unilateral slaughter.

He had intended to finish it within ten breaths, but it seemed impossible. Lin Shiyuan had entered a state of Epiphany.

He was comprehending the wind, the true wind from the Nine Nether.

肅殺 (Solemn Killing) was the main theme of this Cultivation Technique!

But Lin Shiming currently had no System prompts, and True Person Liuhe was very likely to appear here!

Seeing this, Lin Shiming took out the Illusory Spirit Vine, conjuring a large amount of Illusory Spirit Mist that enveloped the entire Fangmu Mountain.

Those Qi Refining Cultivators, and even Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators, all fell into illusions and were pulled into the grotto-heaven by Lin Shiming using the Illusory Spirit Vine. Finally, Lin Shiyuan was also brought into the grotto-heaven.

Within the grotto-heaven, the slaughter continued—Lin Shiyuan’s exhilaration and satisfaction, and the Chu Family’s despair and regret!

All were playing out!

The Wood Demon, Thunder Child, Golden Wings, Cloud Dragon, and others oversaw the battle within the grotto-heaven!

They ensured Lin Shiyuan’s Epiphany continued and also prevented any hidden Foundation Establishment Cultivators from ambushing and killing Lin Shiyuan!

To maintain Lin Shiyuan’s effect, Lin Shiming left a few Foundation Establishment Early Stage Chu Family members. Only the blood of these individuals could truly allow Lin Shiyuan to achieve his goal of venting his anger.

Lin Shiming then took out the captured Chu Family Head, the only Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator in the Chu Family apart from the Purple Mansion Cultivators.

The other party still tried to beg for mercy, attempting to use the excuse of being forced by the Heavenly Demon Sect, acting under duress!

But Lin Shiming directly used the Soul Suppressing Tower to forcibly search his Divine Soul.

He didn’t need explanations; he only knew that the Lin Family could not be insulted!

Blood debts must be paid with blood!

The Chu Family Cultivator wailed loudly, but in the next moment, his Divine Soul shattered, and he died completely.

Lin Shiming’s eyes burned with even greater fury, because through the soul-searching, he learned that within the Heavenly Demon Banner Formation just now, there were still surviving Lin Family Mortals being sacrificed.

Lin Shiming finally understood why True Person Liuhe gambled that he would definitely come, because many Mortals were still imprisoned in Fangmu Mountain, and among them was even an Ice Spiritual Root Genius!

An eighteen-year-old youth!

If Lin Shiming hadn’t come, the tragic scene at the Purple Mansion ceremony then was something Lin Shiming dared not imagine!

However, True Person Liuhe hadn’t expected Lin Shiming to have a Teleportation Array to Chu Kingdom, and with the Yao Race stirring trouble in the rear, he had to return!

That’s how Lin Shiming escaped!

Lin Shiming arrived at the summit of Fangmu Mountain and found the imprisoned Mortals.

At this moment, the Lin Family Mortals were all huddled in a water dungeon, imprisoned. Filthy water reached their knees, their skin was withered, and their eyelids drooped, listless.

Seeing people, they instinctively recoiled.

They were just Mortals, yet at this moment, they all endured the suffering of the water dungeon.

Indeed, if Lin Shiming hadn’t arrived, after enduring torture, they would have become Devil Heads within the Heavenly Demon Banner, never to reincarnate!

And all of this was simply because their surname was Lin!

Lin Shiming directly took out a gourd, absorbed all the water, and then used his Flying Sword to break the chains.

”It’s our Lin Family’s Immortal Master!”

”Our Lin Family’s Immortal Master has returned!”

...With a shout, everyone began to cheer!

They were the last batch of Mortals to remain, like Lin Houyong, who had stayed behind, but they hadn’t expected the evacuation to be so urgent.

As disappointed as they were then, they were now equally happy.

In front of the many Mortals, a fifteen-year-old youth, with calm eyes, did not cheer. Instead, he looked at Lin Shiming with some disgust.

Lin Shiming had no time to say more to them. He waved his sleeve, and within the grotto-heaven, he designated an area for them using a Formation, allowing nearly a thousand Mortals to enter the grotto-heaven and watch Lin Shiyuan slaughter the Chu Family members one by one!

Lin Shiming then went to the Chu Family’s treasury and collected all the treasures.

Of course, while it seemed like a lot was done, in reality, only sixty breaths of time had passed.

This had already exceeded his expectations, but he had no regrets!

He took out the Purple Cloud Twin Swords, his eyes utterly calm, and sat in the Void Realm. The next moment, the twin swords struck out, destroying the entire mountain range in an instant.

Fangmu Mountain was razed to the ground; the entire peak was completely gone!

And from this moment on, there would be no more constraints on Lin Shiming here!

Lin Shiming closed his eyes slightly, then opened them, gazing at the flattened ruins for a full three seconds.

After confirming that no Cultivator would ever again be able to insult Fangmu Mountain, he departed completely.

Those three seconds of open eyes were his best remembrance of Fangmu Mountain’s past.

He would remember this day; he would return!

When he returned that time, he would definitely be a Golden Core Cultivator, no longer fearing the Heavenly Demon Sect.

At that time, Fangmu Mountain would rise again, soaring into the clouds, shrouded in mist, and filled with the fragrance of peaches.

Lin Shiming still left by stepping on the Yan Yang Sword. This time, there were no System prompts, so he had to be extremely careful and rush to the Cliff Wall as quickly as possible.

Upon reaching the Cliff Wall, the Great Turtle Concealed Spirit Formation was still as it was.

Clearly, the Formation was still functioning smoothly.

However, to be safe, Lin Shiming also took the Yan Yang Sword and brought back Nine Heavens Hermit and Lin Shiyun.

Once they landed on the Cliff Wall, they immediately opened the Teleportation Array without stopping!

Lin Shiming again left a Great Yao, controlled by the Spirit Control Seal, to destroy the Teleportation Array.

As a flash of light appeared and then vanished, Lin Shiming and the other two landed in the underground hall of Jiuyang Mountain.

”Seventh Brother, where’s Shiyuan?” Not seeing Lin Shiyuan, Lin Shiyun was a bit anxious.

”Shiyuan is fine, let’s go back to Shuangmu Island first!” Lin Shiming said directly.

He didn’t want to bother with the remaining Cloud Dragon’s Breakthrough or the Heavenly Demon Sect’s counterattack.

Even if the Cloud Dragon broke through to Nascent Soul, it wouldn’t be able to trouble the South Sea.

Moreover, even if it did trouble the South Sea, Lin Shiming didn’t believe that the six major powers of the South Sea truly had no way to resist it.

On the contrary, staying might cause more problems.

As the Teleportation Array lit up, the three vanished from Jiuyang Mountain again, landing on Shuangmu Island in the South Sea.

While autumn winds rustled in the Eastern Domain, the climate in the South Sea was still pleasant at this moment.

Peach blossoms bloomed in profusion, the breeze was gentle, and the weather was fair.

The Lin Family members, coming and going, were enjoying the tranquility after the beast tide. However, the determination on each person’s face to strive for the Immortal Dao had not slackened; instead, it had grown even stronger!

Below Purple Mansion, all are ants!

This was a saying passed down in the Lin Family, and it was Lin Yanjiao, the new Family Head, who had spoken it!

Lin Shiming also chuckled softly. He, too, had once been that young!

However, such a pursuit of the Immortal Dao was better for the Lin Family!

”Shiming, this is the Cultivation Technique left by Liuhe Old Devil. Take a look!” After their trip to the Eastern Domain, Nine Heavens Hermit now treated Lin Shiming just as he did Lin Shizhong and Lin Houshou, with no more reservations.

He truly considered himself a part of the Lin Family.

Lin Shiming also took the Storage Pouch and glanced inside. He saw a huge meteorite, on which was carved a long string of profound and abstruse spirit patterns, making Lin Shiming feel a headache just by looking at them!

Lin Shiming was also delighted. This trip to the Eastern Domain, almost everything had gone perfectly.

The Treasure Unlocking Art of the blood demon disc Spirit Treasure, the Gold Core Forming Fruit Tree, and the partial resolution of Lin Shiyuan’s inner demons.

”Thank you, Elder Jiuxiao! Shiming will remember this great kindness!” This trip to the Qingxuan Sect, Nine Heavens Hermit had taken a risk.

If the Qingxuan Sect’s ambush methods were like the Blood Demon Snake Pool beneath Fangmu Mountain, then Nine Heavens Hermit would most likely have gone and never returned!

But he had to go, and it was crucial to ensure that the three Teleportation Arrays were destroyed almost simultaneously.

Otherwise, there could be problems!

Of course, Lin Shiming also praised the combination of using the Spirit Control Seal to control cannon fodder Great Yao, plus the Blood Burst Pill.

In the future, it could even be promoted on a small scale within the Family.

As long as it wasn’t discovered by Nine Dragon Island, the Lin Family could have another means!

After bidding farewell to Nine Heavens Hermit, Lin Shiming first went to the Sword Pavilion to put the Yan Yang Sword back, then returned directly to Thousand Wood Peak. On Thousand Wood Peak, Lin Shitao, Lin Houyuan, and Xian Zhi were all waiting.

Seeing these three, a warmth surged in Lin Shiming’s heart.

”Seventh Grand Uncle, Father, Shitao!”

These were almost the most important people to Lin Shiming.

”This trip went very smoothly!” Lin Shiming nodded and said.

”It’s good that you’re back!”

...The words of the three were almost identical, clearly all worried about Lin Shiming’s safety.

Lin Shiming patted his chest, indicating he was fine.

”Father, Seventh Grand Uncle, Shitao, there are still some matters to handle this time!” Lin Shiming said.

Then he led the three into the grotto-heaven!

Because these three had all entered the grotto-heaven before, Lin Shiming didn’t hide anything.

At this moment, the grotto-heaven was divided into three sections: one where the Ziyang Pagoda and Jiaolong Nest were completely concealed, another with over a thousand Mortals, and in the third, the battle had already ended.

Lin Shiyuan knelt on the grass, facing those Mortals.

Those Mortals were extremely terrified and dared not accept Lin Shiyuan’s bow.

Lin Shiyuan was an Immortal, and they were Mortals.

Only that Ice Spiritual Root Cultivator watched Lin Shiyuan with cold eyes, even muttering curses.

Saying that this was deserved.

If it weren’t for the former Lin Family Head arranging their ancestors to be last, how could they have been captured and thrown into the water dungeon? Some had even been refined into the Heavenly Demon Banner, never to reincarnate!

Lin Shiming explained the reason to Xian Zhi, Lin Houyuan, and Lin Shitao.

At the same time, the three of them bowed deeply to this group of Mortals!
