Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints
Chapter 1020 - 621: Situation in the Eastern Domain, Arrival of People from Spirit Talisman (Combined Update)

As the morning sun rose high, the entire Shuangmu Island was bathed in a long-awaited blazing sunlight.

At the Lin Family square, a considerable number of cultivators had gathered.

This time, for the Eastern Domain expedition, a total of one thousand cultivators were mobilized.

After all, they needed to cleanse the entire Chu Country and establish a comprehensive transmission formation system.

The leader of the expedition was naturally Lin Shiming. The Eastern Domain had no shortage of Golden Cores, especially due to the secret realm of the Yunzhong Palace. Golden Core True Persons from the Southern Sea, Nan Jiang, Northern Abyss, and even the Western Desert had flocked to the Eastern Domain.

At this moment, the region was rather chaotic.

This time, Lin Shiming led the team, bringing with him the Ying Fengjian and Leiming Sword. As for the remaining swords, they were left in the Southern Sea.

After all, something could happen in the Taiqian Abyss at any moment.

Moreover, this time, due to Red Leaf True Person being on guard duty, she was unable to join the expedition to the Eastern Domain.

Back then, Red Leaf True Person had even invited him to explore the Yunzhong Palace together.

But Lin Shiming understood that most of the Yunzhong Realm had likely been mined dry. The remaining areas—the Yunzhong Palace and the location where the Innate Spiritual Treasure was born—would not differ much whether visited sooner or later.

Furthermore, he suspected that Nascent Soul cultivators might be guarding the secret realm, possibly even charging toll fees for access.

With the reserved nature of Spirit Beast Sect's Jiuye True Monarch, such a scenario was highly likely.

That individual was a calculating and ruthless figure, the very one who outmaneuvered Shen Ji True Monarch.

In that devastating battle, the Qingxuan Sect had been on the verge of annihilation, the Corpse Refining Gate had lost two Golden Core Late Stage cultivators, and the Heavenly Demon Sect had lost one as well.

Thus began the glorious era of the Spirit Beast Sect.

Now, while Spirit Beast Sect and the Spirit Talisman Sect shared dominion over Zhao Kingdom in name, the true power lay in the hands of the Spirit Beast Sect.

Although the Qingxuan Sect had returned, they only managed to reclaim a small portion of their territory, with another fraction falling into the hands of the Heavenly Demon Sect in Chu Country.

For the Qingxuan Sect, this greatly hindered their opportunities for growth.

Not to mention the gap in Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Lin Shiming also felt that the Spirit Beast Sect had been remarkably restrained.

After all, the Dao Enlightenment Tree of the past had been a tool for absorbing insights, enabling Spirit Beast Sect's disciples to elevate their comprehension.

The Golden Core cultivators of the Spirit Beast Sect were likely far more formidable than they had seemed in the past.

Now, several hundred years later, Lin Shiming had no clear sense of just how powerful the Spirit Beast Sect might have become.

He could only hope that the Cloud Jiao Demon Emperor of the Qingyun Mountain Range would clash with the Spirit Beast Sect.

After all, while the Demonic Race of the Southern Sea despised Nine Dragon Island, the Demonic Race of the Eastern Domain loathed the Spirit Beast Sect.

However, based on the information he had gathered, the situation was not what he had imagined.

Lin Shiming shook his head and stopped overthinking. He glanced toward the central square.

By now, most of the people had gathered.

Many members of the Lin Family desired to return to the Eastern Domain this time, but from the Lin Family's perspective, it was impossible for everyone to return.

The Southern Sea was now one of the Lin Family's most important strongholds.

Therefore, this time Lin Shimo was left behind. Of course, initially, Lin Shimo was unwilling, but as he had just broken through, who else would stabilize their cultivation level if not him?

Additionally, Lin Shiming promised that once the Eastern Domain's situation was settled, he would allow Lin Shimo to go there and assume a commanding role, to which the latter reluctantly agreed.

To the members of the Lin Family, the Eastern Domain represented deep pain for all characters with the "Shi" generation names, followed by the "Ze" generation names.

The higher the generation, the stronger this feeling.

After all, they had deeper emotional ties to the Eastern Domain. By contrast, the younger "Chang" and "Yan" generations felt far less attached.

As such, the current group consisted mainly of the "Shi" generation, with the "Ze" generation as a secondary presence.

Among the Golden Core cultivators, Lin Shijie and Jiuxiao True Person accompanied Lin Shiming. Lin Shijie, unsurprisingly, was a Superior Grade Golden Core cultivator and a Sword Cultivator who had mastered the "Sword Birth Myriad Laws" technique. Even a Golden Core Middle Stage opponent could pose no serious threat to him.

As for Jiuxiao True Person, he also harbored a desire to return to the Eastern Domain.

If possible, he even wanted to visit old acquaintances and take a look at Jiuyan Mountain.

Since breaking through to the Golden Core level, Jiuxiao True Person had not journeyed far in a long while.

The Lin Family held many ties he could not abandon—disciples, artifact refinement tasks, and his unending pursuit of artifact refinement techniques. Spiritual Wine was no longer something he needed to actively seek; it was directly delivered to his doorstep.

Additionally, Lin Shiming left Wang Jiao and Golden Wing Red-haired behind to maximize the preservation of the family's strength.

Among the Purple Mansion cultivators, Lin Houshou of Purple Mansion Late Stage, Lin Shiyi of Purple Mansion Middle Stage, Lin Shilei of Purple Mansion Late Stage, Lin Shiyuan of Purple Mansion Early Stage, Lin Shijin of Purple Mansion Early Stage, Lin Shiyun of Purple Mansion Early Stage, and Lin Houyuan of Purple Mansion Early Stage were all participating.

Lin Zekong, Lin Zecheng, and Lin Xianzhi also wished to join, but Lin Shiming refused them once more.

Even Lin Xianzhi failed to persuade Lin Shiming this time.

For Lin Shiming, protecting the family required leaving behind the right individuals. This time, only those most suited for the task would be brought along.

They all must remember that heading to the Eastern Domain was far from risk-free.

The stance of the Spirit Beast Sect, the remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the attitude of the Qingxuan Sect—all of these were unknown factors.

Not to mention the Spirit Talisman Sect's response.

After all, Spirit Talisman Sect's Thunder Talisman True Person was also in secluded cultivation, attempting a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul level.

The Spirit Talisman Sect closely followed the Spirit Beast Sect, and Lin Shiming wouldn't be surprised if they had hidden contingencies.

The Qingxuan Sect needed no elaborate consideration either—they had secured much of the Taibai Sword Palace's inheritance, plundered the Taibai Sword Palace Minor World for years, and consolidated their foundation.

Lin Shiming certainly did not underestimate them.

Aside from the Purple Mansion cultivators, many Purple Mansion Great Demons and Spirit Puppets were also brought along. This time, one hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators were included, with the remainder being Qi Refinement cultivators.

For the family, some of the Qi Refinement cultivators were nearing the end of their lives.

Currently, even the youngest of the "Ze" generation had crossed a hundred years old.

As for the "Shi" generation, apart from those born later who had yet to break through to Foundation Establishment, many had already reached the end of their lifespan.

Thus, the "Ze" generation harbored the deepest emotional ties to the Eastern Domain among those living now.

Once the Lin Family finished their preparations, Foundation Establishment cultivators from the other side arrived, steering the War Treasure Ship into view.
