Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints
Chapter 994 - 607: Snowman Formation, Powerful Ice Sculpture (Two-in-One)

On a snowy mountain, the entire area was blanketed in pure white snow, stretching for hundreds of miles.

Snowflakes continued to drift down from the sky above.

Lin Shiming, Lin Houshou, and Lin Shiyi descended in front of the snowy mountain:

"This should be the peak where that sect's inheritance lies. We've seen plenty of abandoned houses along the way. Hopefully, there are some treasures here!" Lin Shiyi said anxiously.

Within the Secret Realm, they hadn't encountered many Spirit Beasts or found any treasures thus far.

Now, they had finally reached the center of the Secret Realm.

"Let's release the Blood Corpses first. If a fight breaks out, it might cause an avalanche, which would hinder our treasure hunting!" Lin Houshou suggested.

Lin Shiming nodded in agreement, taking out the Heavenly Corpse Banner. From within the banner, numerous Blood Corpses emerged.

These Blood Corpses were automatically converted by his Heavenly Corpse Banner.

This artifact could refine the newly dead bodies of Spirit Beasts and cultivators into Blood Corpses.

As the Blood Corpses crawled out of the Heavenly Corpse Banner, they roared defiantly against the biting cold.

However, in the next moment, as they moved into the freezing air, they became unable to take a single step forward.

Moreover, what shocked Lin Shiming and the others was that the snowfall on the mountain suddenly intensified.

The massive snowflakes fell densely, creating a nearly impenetrable curtain of white.

Evidently, they had triggered a Formation.

In the next instant, the three of them frowned deeply, as they saw giant snowmen beginning to take shape on the snowy mountain. These snowmen appeared identical to the Blood Corpses they had summoned.

The snowmen were carved in vivid detail, resembling the Blood Corpses to an astonishing degree.

The only difference between them was their color.

Boom!

The Blood Corpses and the snowmen clashed.

A fierce battle broke out in an instant.

Though battles between Qi Cultivation-level beings were trivial in the eyes of the three cultivators, they couldn't help but worry—after all, if they themselves entered, would their own abilities also be duplicated?

If their Purple Mansion-level powers were replicated, how could they possibly overcome this challenge?

The group continued observing, evaluating the snowmen's Spiritual Power, combat techniques, endurance, and other traits.

But the more they watched, the more worried they became.

The snowmen and Blood Corpses exhibited identical behaviors, relying on clawing and roaring.

The snowmen felt like part of an Illusion Array, but the key issue was that the snowy mountain suppressed cultivators, limiting their abilities.

As this balance shifted, many of the Blood Corpses began to fall in battle.

Lin Shiming ordered some of the Blood Corpses to retreat. Interestingly, as soon as they exited the snowy mountain's range, the snowmen automatically disintegrated.

Evidently, this Formation not only repelled intruders but also served to train the sect's own cultivators.

From this perspective, the inheritance of this sect seemed extraordinary.

"Let's keep observing. There's no rush!" Lin Houshou said as he noticed Lin Shiming and Lin Shiyi's eagerness to test the situation themselves.

Lin Shiyi and Lin Shiming looked puzzled.

To them, they had already spent ample time studying the Formation and felt they understood it well enough!

"Not yet. We must observe longer. Right now, our Lin Family is the only group in this Secret Realm. There's no need to take risks!"

"The family can't afford the loss of even a single Purple Mansion cultivator!"

"We need to observe the Formation's endurance. Everyone knows that the stronger and stranger a Formation is, the more Spiritual Energy it consumes. Some Formations draw from Spirit Veins, while others rely on Array Plates and Spirit Stones."

"When these Formations aren't activated, they don't consume energy, and the Spirit Stones can even regenerate Spiritual Energy. So, as long as a Formation isn't triggered, it can last indefinitely!"

"Of course, if it's absorbing energy from a Spirit Vein, then our plan will fail!"

"Even then, we can mobilize a large number of Spirit Beasts and additional Blood Corpses to break through the Formation together!"

"At the very least, they'll draw some of the energy away!"

"Alternatively, we can also try using Formation-breaking Talismans or Boundary-breaking Talismans!" Lin Houshou explained in great detail.

Hearing this, Lin Shiyi and Lin Shiming were momentarily stunned, then nodded in agreement, realizing how limited their earlier thinking had been.

This was, after all, a Secret Realm—a place of inheritance for a sect. But that didn't mean it was free of danger.

Carelessness could easily lead to disaster.

Sometimes, what seemed like an opportunity could also be a deadly trap.

"Thank you, Second Uncle, for the explanation!" Lin Shiyi said. He had tempered himself extensively in other regions, and Lin Shiming had experienced even greater challenges, including being schemed against by the Hermit Black Cloud from the Corpse Refining Gate.

Yet, both of them had fallen into the trap of assuming opportunities would present themselves unconditionally.

There might not be any cultivators in the snowy mountain, but the presence of Spirit Beasts was highly likely. The Cold Turtle Demon King outside served as a prime example, acting as a guardian beast.

After all, it was normal for turtle-type Demonic Beasts to live for tens of thousands of years, making them ideal for guarding mountains and Secret Realms.

Having finalized their plan, the group refrained from acting rashly. Instead, they carefully sent in some Spirit Beasts to test the Formation's limits along the edges.

Sure enough, after some probing, they discovered that the Formation had an upper limit. When three Purple Mansion-level Demonic Beasts attacked simultaneously, the Formation started to struggle.

Based on this calculation, even if the Formation retained some power, duplicating more than five Purple Mansion-level beings at once would be impossible.

After all, the five Purple Mansion cultivators of the Lin Family were far from ordinary.
