Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints
Chapter 1010 - 616: The 9th Tribulation Thunder Tower Formation, Successive Breakthroughs (Two in One, Subscription for Monthly Pass)

The sky-blue thunderbolts crashed down like judgments, striking the entire formation.

In an instant, the formation turned into a dense, thunderous net.

At the center of the thunderous net stood Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan.

Both of them were bare-chested, their muscular physiques fully exposed.

On the surface of their bodies, a faint golden thunder net condensed.

For them, it was not a matter of enduring Divine Thunder like they would during a Heavenly Tribulation.

Instead, they were also using the Geng Metal Thunder Technique to condense their own thunder net, allowing the edges of their net to collide with the edges of the Thunder Formation.

In this way, they absorbed the thunder spiritual energy within.

This thunder spiritual energy was vastly purer than the spiritual energy they usually absorbed, and it was extremely beneficial to their physiques—they could visibly feel their physical bodies strengthening.

It was comparable to the body refinement achieved by Body Cultivators.

However, at the start, the concentrated thunder net that descended was far beyond their ability to absorb; even the slightest wisp left them utterly overwhelmed, forcing them to suppress and adjust with endless effort.

Ultimately, only by joining forces and relying on magical treasures could they barely manage to absorb it, but the process was extremely slow.

Even so, for the two of them, this was significantly faster than their usual cultivation pace.

Moreover, as their physiques improved, even though they had yet to achieve an Acquired Thunder Body, their absorption speed increased dramatically.

This gave them confidence that they could surpass Lin Shiming and Lin Houyuan, striving to break through to the Golden Core realm as soon as possible.

...

Nearby Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan, Lin Houshou was also deep in thought, furrowing his brows tightly.

In front of him lay several small Array Plates, surrounded by multiple Array Flags.

These Array Plates and Flags, infused with spiritual light, slowly approached the Thunder Formation over time.

Yet without exception, they were all quickly reduced to rubble by the thunderous strikes.

Each time this happened, he would take out a Jade Slip and meticulously record his observations.

Although he couldn't fully comprehend a Sixth-Rank Formation, even grasping a small part of it would significantly elevate his level of formation mastery.

This would be very advantageous for his breakthrough to the Golden Core realm.

Additionally, if he could prematurely unravel this formation, the inheritance the Lin Family would gain would be extraordinary.

Unlike other formations, however, this one carried considerable dangers, leaving him no choice but to experiment with formations against formations.

This inevitably slowed his comprehension even further.

Fortunately, he had obtained a secret manual for understanding formations back at the Taibai Sword Palace, which made things much easier for him.

Otherwise, other Array Masters, even if they saw a Sixth-Rank Formation, would not necessarily reap any benefits from it.

As for the Lin Family, the gains from this undertaking were enormous as well.

Just the Secret Realm and its inheritance alone had brought significant benefits to the Lin Family—compared to this, resources like Yang Ironstone Spirit Mines and Yang Ironstone Essence seemed ordinary.

Moreover, the Lin Family had not only this Secret Realm but also holdings in the Heavenly Joy Archipelago, including numerous spiritual veins, mining veins, spiritual medicines, and various herb gardens.

While the major gains were few this time, the smaller gains were numerous.

These seemingly minor acquisitions might not catch the eye of Tianliu Island or Qian Ji Island, but for the Lin Family, they were urgently needed.

The Lin Family's pace of development for its cultivator lineage ranked highly among all families.

This led to the Lin Family's overall strength growing far faster than other families.

At the same time, however, it demanded an exceptionally high standard for financial resources.

If not for the Lin Family discovering numerous mining veins, Transmission Formations, and establishing various Lin Family Restaurants and pill workshops over the years, they might have already faced a crisis of Spirit Stone shortage.

After all, the Lin Family's stipends were growing exponentially.

Now, the larger the Lin Family became, the higher the likelihood of offspring with Spirit Roots emerging.

Combined with the supportive effects of Turtle Spirit Coconut Spiritual Wine on fertility, the growth in the Lin Family's cultivator population was astonishingly rapid—especially considering many cultivators, such as Lin Yanjiao, Lin Shilei, and Lin Shiyuan, were dedicated to pursuing the Great Dao.

Otherwise, the financial burden on the Lin Family would be even heavier.

Furthermore, the Lin Family could not afford to halt this strategy anytime soon.

Only after fully assimilating their strength and stabilizing themselves completely could they consider reforms.

On Wuqing Island, Lin Shiming sat cross-legged in a cave dwelling. Before him stood a fair-skinned cultivator.

This cultivator's appearance was identical to Lin Shiming, with an equally similar expression.

As Lin Shiming gazed at this other version of himself, he couldn't help but marvel at its wonder.

This External Incarnation Technique was truly extraordinary, extracted from the latest version found in the Jade Slip of True Person Liu He.

The core of this external incarnation was composed of various spiritual materials.

Such an incarnation, once formed, could rival a Heavenly Spirit Root.

However, it also had limitations—the incarnation's potential was bound by the quality of the spiritual materials used.

For example, if Fourth-Rank spiritual medicine essences were used in the refinement, the incarnation's limit would be Fourth Rank.

If Fifth-Rank spiritual medicine essences were used, the limit would be Fifth Rank.

Moreover, the combat power of such an incarnation would be inferior to that of a normal cultivator, with its weaknesses and vulnerabilities being particularly significant.

The advantage was that even if the incarnation were destroyed, it would have little impact on Lin Shiming.

Additionally, such an incarnation could cultivate independently, with limited restrictions on its quantity.

Relying on his powerful Divine Soul, he could split numerous incarnations, similar to True Person Liu He.

However, Lin Shiming was not practicing the Six Harmonies Heavenly Demon Technique; otherwise, he could condense six distinct incarnations, which would be far stronger.

Such incarnations could also provide great assistance in breaking through major cultivation realms.

For instance, Lin Shimo, by utilizing the Five Elements Heavenly Corpse, faced significantly less difficulty in breaking through major realms.

Of course, practicing such Five Elements techniques required two key factors: an extraordinary opportunity and an unprecedentedly powerful Heart Demon Tribulation.

Without exceptionally steadfast willpower, ordinary cultivators would prove incapable of mastering these techniques.
