Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Chapter 58: 58 Cliff Predicament



The border between Qingzhou and Yunzhou is marked by a sheer cliff.

Atop this cliff, rocks jut out at odd angles, and no vegetation grows.

The Lin Family's Spirit Boat descended from the sky above.

Lin Yushui was the first to touch down, and with a ferocious toss, she threw a Spirit Talisman into the ground.

Immediately, countless specks of dust were kicked up, and a cloud of sand and dust filled the air in an instant.

Then, under the command of another Spirit Art from her, the dust quietly vanished, clearly the result of a previously prepared Formation.

Lin Xianzhi and the others also descended one after another.

"Everyone, please sit and meditate for a moment to recover your Spiritual Energy," Lin Xianzhi instructed before taking the lead and seating himself. He then took out a sparkling Intermediate Grade Spirit Stone and began to restore his Spiritual Energy.

Spirit Stones are classified into four grades: Supreme, Superior, Intermediate, and Inferior, with each grade being a hundred times more potent than the one below it.

However, because higher-grade Spirit Stones contain purer Spiritual Energy, one Intermediate Grade Spirit Stone often trades for more than 105 Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.

To Lin Xianzhi at the Late Foundation Establishment stage, using Inferior Grade Spirit Stones for recovery was not only slow but also required time for purification before condensing it into True Yuan.

An Intermediate Grade Spirit Stone was just right for him.

At this moment, instead of meditating the rest of the group started to prepare their techniques with cautious expressions.

This journey had been too smooth, unsettlingly so.

Lin Shiming also began to infuse energy, setting up some seeds in advance.

It was at this moment that Lin Xianzhi opened his eyes and gazed into the distance, announcing,

"They're here!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a golden beam of Spirit Light burst through the sky a mere dozen breaths later. Upon closer inspection, it was a Third Rank Spirit Boat just like the one owned by the Lin Family.

Astride the Spirit Boat, several figures dressed in yellow robes flew out, wielding Flying Swords, and they positioned themselves into a semicircle, indicating their intent to encircle the Lin Family and prevent escape.

The leader among them was the white-templed Huangyun Qi.

"Did you know I would come?"

Different from his feigned madness at the auction house, Huangyun Qi now appeared remarkably composed, yet beneath his calm face was a hint of eagerness and excitement.

That look in his eyes seemed identical to that of Zi Xuan Hermit's when he regarded Lin Xianzhi — as if the Lin Family held something he considered essential to possess.

This inexplicable feeling, when combined with Huangyun Qi's actions, seemed like the most plausible explanation.

Lin Shiming had not seen any members of the Li Family nor Li Chengzhi behind Huangyun Qi.

However, precisely because of this, they needed to be even more vigilant.

A person as sly and cunning as Huangyun Qi would not act without assurance.

This time, the Huang Family had brought a total of twelve people, but when Lin Shiming tried to sense their strength,

he was shocked to discover that among them, there were three at Foundation Establishment and the remaining nine all at the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation!

Their combat power was nearly twice that of the Lin Family's, and almost the greatest force the Huang Family could muster following their losses at the Qingyun Mountain Range!

If it were not for their seventh-generation ancestor's foresight in arranging the Formation here and their strategic advantage, the situation would have been dire.

The presence of two Foundation Establishment Cultivators was the most surprising to the Lin Family. They knew that the Foundation Establishment Pill could only be acquired at the ten-year Qingxuan event, and the last time the Huang Family purchased a Foundation Establishment Pill, it was for their Family Head, Huang Lishan, but the breakthrough attempt failed.

As for the Li Family, they too fell short on Foundation Establishment Pills and could not have supplied the Huang Family.

So the Foundation Establishment Pill they now faced...

"Does your Huang Family possess the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

In an instant, the answer emerged, leaving everyone from the Lin Family utterly shocked.

The Huang Family had plotted so meticulously, not only for revenge but also to ensure no one knew they had quietly taken back the Illusionary Heart Grass.

Only then could it explain why the Huang Family had silently gained two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

No one from the Huang Family answered.

But no answer was the best answer of all.

"Rise!" The first to act was Lin Yushui, who had been ready for some time. After taking a deep breath, she thrust a flag toward the ground.

Immediately, the yellow sand covering the entire cliffside burst into the air, and a series of yellow sandstorms erupted.

The Huang Family members were shocked, not expecting the Lin Family to have prepared a formation in such a short time and now seeking to retreat.

But they did not realize that the entire cliff was within the bounds of the formation.

One after another, the sandstorm tornadoes struck, scattering the Huang Family Cultivators.

This formation was not a Second Rank one but a Third Rank one!

The Five Extreme Deathly Winds Formation that combined confinement and slaughter!

Lin Yushui, who was in control of the formation, stood by with a bottle of Superior Grade Monkey Wine and several Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones in her hands.

The fierce winds were mainly directed at the two early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, excluding Huangyun Qi.

Although the Five Extreme Deathly Winds Formation was strong, it was after all being controlled by a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level.

For a time, the battle was at a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

Meanwhile, the other four Elders of the Lin Family at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level quickly set up the same Five Elements Spirit Breaking Formation that the Huang Family had previously deployed in the Qingyun Mountain range. This formation did not rely on intricate techniques but solely on the combined magical power of the cultivators.

Lin Shijie was also within the formation.

With his cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation, it was naturally extremely taxing for him, but as a dual-Spirit Root genius with abundant spiritual power, he managed to hold on.

"Yushui, focus the formation on holding back the two early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Yu Qi, Yu Zheng, and Hou Yuan, use the formation to engage the nine late-stage Qi Cultivators. Shiming, provide support and reinforcement, but be very careful. I will assist you!"

The command from Lin Xianzhi came through, and then his Qinglian Sword behind him surged again, transforming into two to three Zhang in length!

A clang of sword cry, the green light soared, and countless Qinglian Sword beams blanketed the sky!

"Today, I'll test my sword on you, old Huang!" Lin Xianzhi bellowed, charging at Huangyun Qi first.

"Presumptuous!" Huangyun Qi unleashed his spiritual power, a terrifying spiritual pressure emerging.

As everyone's expression darkened, they realized that Huangyun Qi's cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the late Foundation Establishment stage and was on the verge of stepping into Foundation Establishment Perfection.

This was far stronger than Huangyun Qi had previously shown!

"This old man was indeed hiding his true abilities!" The entire Lin Family was profoundly shaken.

Fortunately, Lin Xianzhi was a Sword Cultivator. With his exquisite swordsmanship and the first layer of Sword Light Transformation's Sword Intent, he managed not to fall too far behind Huangyun Qi.

"Lin Xianzhi, you are indeed formidable, but can any of your family's younger generation compare to you?"

With a single-handed gesture, Huangyun Qi directed a set of eight superior third-rank Flying Swords slashing towards Lin Xianzhi!

Lin Xianzhi steered the Green Lotus Sword to meet them, but his brow was also deeply furrowed!

Huangyun Qi was right. Despite the assistance of a third-rank formation, the cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level all had their shortcomings, let alone Lin Yushui, who certainly couldn't hold out against the early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Huang Family.

Indeed, on the cliff, the yellow sandstorm tornadoes were slamming the two Huang Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators, forcing them to endlessly flee and use their Flying Swords and various Spirit Talismans to defend!

But the inevitable outcome would be Lin Yushui being the first to falter, and at this moment, Lin Xianzhi was unable to fully suppress Huangyun Qi, let alone provide support.

As for Lin Yuqi and the others' Five Elements Spirit Breaking Formation, it was also not something to be counted on, since the Huang Family Cultivators had similarly taken out formation flags, setting up another Five Elements Spirit Breaking Formation, and they even had four Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivators to spare to deal with Lin Shiming!
