Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

The snake egg already has cracks, so how could it fail to hatch?

If it lacks even that ability, how can it become a half-Flood Dragon?

For seven consecutive days, Lin Shiming immersed himself in the secret technique.

And the system's prompts, Idaily pointed out the flaws in his resting practices, enabling him to grasp them better and faster.

Compared to the Spirit Controlling Seal, the Soul Binding Forbidden involved the congealment of a soul contract, somewhat more complex, but its difficulty was much lower.

As soon as Lin Shiming opened his eyes, he saw that with a drop of essence blood falling from his hand, he began to trace out one spirit light after another.

And at the most critical moment, he even used the Split Spirit Blade to sever a strand of his own divine sense.

It entered into the soul contract.

The soul contract, hidden within, transformed into endless spirit light, entering the essence blood.

That drop of essence blood became even more concentrated and profound.

If one looked closely, they could see within the essence blood, countless spirit patterns interwoven, like an extremely complex spirit net, with spirit light and his strand of divine sense intertwined, creating boundless mysteries.

Lin Shiming's countenance was somewhat pale as he brought the essence blood that had traced the soul contract to the snake egg.

A sense of dread pulsed, resisting Lin Shiming's advance.

The snake egg clearly showed some resistance, but its resistance at this moment seemed extremely feeble.

Lin Shiming was not a man of tender mercies; towards a snake egg with consciousness, even one newly born, he could not possibly be entirely at ease.

The essence blood shot towards the snake egg with unerring accuracy.

And at this moment, the snake egg finally cracked with a snap, and a black Horned Python emerged, darting about.

The black Horned Python looked somewhat similar to a venomous Horned Python, except that upon birth, it already had two bulges on its forehead, within which sharp horns were clearly visible; only a little more growth, and it could have a pair of horns like a Flood Dragon, its whole body also covered in black scales.

The only distinction from a Flood Dragon was the lack of fins on its tail and the absence of claws!

However, there were also bulges beneath its belly, evidently, its bloodline hadn't quite developed yet.

But upon close sensing, this Horned Python's cultivation level was clearly at the early stage of the Third Rank!

Born a Third-Rank Demonic Beast, Lin Shiming had never seen such before; he only knew that a Flood Dragon at birth was at the late stage of the Third Rank. Although this Horned Python was only at the early stage of the Third Rank, among ordinary Spirit Beasts, it was absolutely one of the top existences!

Anticipating the Horned Python's resistance and erratic movements, Lin Shiming had seemingly predicted this, initiating the Blood Covenant right from the start. Even though the Blood Covenant's control over the snake egg was weaker now, after all, a blood pact existed, and that drop of essence blood landed on the forehead of the young snake with two horns.

"Swallow this drop of essence blood and offer up a portion of your soul; otherwise, Lin has no qualms about feeding your bloodline to the Golden Winged Mantis," Lin Shiming threatened.

The snake egg had seen Bloodline Reversion before and was utterly panic-stricken upon hearing this!

Its body hesitated again.

"Rest assured, by becoming my Spirit Beast, in the future, I will help you revert to your bloodline. As long as Lin does not die, sooner or later, I will assist you in becoming a Flood Dragon, and perhaps even a true dragon is possible," Lin Shiming said.

Upon hearing this, the Horned Python first hesitated and pondered, much like when Lin Shiming first signed the common Blood Covenant. However, after seemingly recalling something, it nodded with great spirit intelligence.

Between the stick and the carrot, the Horned Python was unable to resist.

With the essence blood carrying the Soul Binding Forbidden, it entered the Horned Python's body.

Before long, the essence blood reappeared in the void.

Except at this moment, the essence blood was larger and darker in color.

Within the Soul Binding Forbidden, it seemed as though a tiny Flood Dragon was darting around inside.

Lin Shiming reached out his hand, bringing the essence blood with the Soul Binding Forbidden back inside his body.

And in his mind, a more distinct wave of emotions finally emerged.

To his wry amusement, the Horned Python harbored some animosity towards him, apparently, because he had plucked its Dragon Blood Grass, not because of its relation to the adult venomous Horned Python.

And this little Horned Python developed consciousness precisely on the day the venomous Horned Python left.

Lin Shiming finally relaxed.

Now that the little Horned Python had the Soul Binding Forbidden, it also opened its mouth wide, imitating the Red-haired Demon Monkey, howling and hollering.

Only its howling sounded a bit like a roar, coming off rather odd.

Yet the wave of emotions in his mind from the little Horned Python told him it was hungry.

It wanted to eat rocks, Elixir Pills, and meat!

And it wanted Spirit Fruits, Spirit Bamboos!

Eat monkeys, eat mantises!

It thought that everything around it looked delicious!

The little Horned Python's eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings, and at this moment, it was utterly shameless.

It was expressing its most genuine thoughts.

Lin Shiming could not help but scowl!

He took out three bottles of Beast Nurturing Pills and a third-rank Sea Cloud Bird carcass for the Horned Python to eat.

"From now on, I'll call you Wang Jiao!"

"You are not allowed to use anything else around here on your own, if you want to eat, eat these Beast Nurturing Pills!"

Lin Shiming didn't care whether the latter agreed or not, and started calling it that.

He had never been particular about naming; the Golden Winged Mantis was simply called Golden Wing, and the Red-haired Demon Monkey was called Red-haired.

Thinking that naming it Wang Jiao was already much progress for him.

After a Soul Binding Forbidden was completed, Lin Shiming felt utterly exhausted, so he let Wang Jiao wander around and found a stone platform for himself.

And started to cultivate again. Stay updated through empire

This time of cultivation lasted three days, which finally led up to the day of entering Qingxuan Mountain and meeting with the Zi Xuan Hermit.

Lin Shiming had by then recovered and looked as usual.

However, in the distance, Red-haired and Wang Jiao were already battling fiercely, the latter engaging in a turbulent physical confrontation.

What surprised Lin Shiming was that even though Wang Jiao was only at the early stage of third rank, it held its own against Red-haired, who was at the middle stage of third rank.

Especially its tail, which had a terrifying whipping ability.

Even when Red-haired transformed into a thirty-foot creature, it was sent flying a long distance by that tail.

Red-haired used its Strange Fire, but Wang Jiao also emitted flashes from its horns before forcefully spraying out a huge amount of water. The water was clearly extraordinary too, rendering Red-haired's Strange Fire comparatively less effective.

The frustrated Red-haired was about to employ the Primordial Magnet Seal, but at that moment, Wang Jiao began to run away.

"Stop!" Lin Shiming, seeing that the two were about to tear apart the Cave Heaven World, hastily intervened. He took a quick look around, thankful that the Spirit Plant areas, such as the tree of Heavenly Spirit Fruits and other small Divine Skills, were safe due to the formations he had set up; no destruction had occurred.

Otherwise, he would have had to slay both beasts that day.

Upon hearing Lin Shiming's cold shout, Red-haired immediately started wailing in protest.

The expression seemed to convey to Lin Shiming that this Horned Python was too much of a bandit, stealing its Beast Nurturing Pills and Spirit Beast meat!

And drooling non-stop over it!

Wang Jiao, too, managed to control its emotions and sent vibrations through Lin Shiming's mind.

The hesitant speech was intermittent.

"Wang Jiao... hungry! Monkey... so dumb, but... smells good!"

Lin Shiming was surprised that Wang Jiao could articulate its words clearly, but upon hearing them, he couldn't help but grow dark in the face.

"From now on, in the Cave Heaven World, no fighting is allowed; in time, you'll get good stuff to eat!"

Lin Shiming promptly started lecturing, scolding both beasts equally, showing no favoritism.

He then took out the Storage Bag and again distributed Beast Nurturing Pills and Spirit Beast meat to both creatures.

Wang Jiao stepped to the side, neatly catching all the Spirit Beast meat and Beast Nurturing Pills, while Red-haired began to gulp them down frantically, stuffing its face as if afraid the feast might be snatched away again.

Lin Shiming also took out some Spirit Beast meat for the Golden Winged Mantis, which took its time eating.

Wang Jiao dared not make a move against it, lest it be sliced in half by those sharp legs.

After dealing with the three beasts, Lin Shiming then exited the room, retracting several forerunning spells, extended his Divine Sense outward, and noticed that Lin Xianzhi was already prepared next door.

After some preparations, the two set out towards Qingxuan Sect.

It was a familiar route to Qingxuan Sect, and they moved with great speed.

Especially when they passed the Ascending Immortal Ladder again.

It made Lin Shiming quite sentimental.

Truly, the heritage of Qingxuan Sect was mighty; even now, he could see the benefits of the Ascending Immortal Ladder, although it was only effective the first time around.

Ascending the Ascending Immortal Ladder, they could glimpse the gates of Qingxuan Sect, and waiting there was Xie An.

Apart from Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi, there was another cultivator dressed in blue Taoist robes who had arrived first.

Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi waved to Xie An, and the blue-robed cultivator and Xie An returned the gesture.

Clearly, this blue-robed cultivator was also a disciple of Zi Xuan Hermit!
