317: Breaking through the Purple Mansion, Double Thunder Tribulation (three-in-one rewards reren for 1500 plus updates)

On Shuangmu Island, countless purple clouds soared into the sky.

In a blink of an eye, the entire Shuangmu Island was bathed in a purple glow, turning the land purple.

Even the surrounding seawater gradually transformed into a purple hue!

Terrifying Spiritual Qi formed patches of auspicious purple clouds in the sky, and the Spiritual Qi from the Fourth-Order Spirit Vein surged madly towards the mountain Peak.

All the Cultivators on Shuangmu Island opened their eyes, looking at the sky, at the land, at the vast sea, and finally, their gaze uniformly fell upon the Qinglian Peak.

Everyone was astonished; this scene was as if a new world had been created!

Even when Lin Xianzhi made his Breakthrough, there was no such phenomenon.

Lin Shitao was a bit worried, while the other Elders, besides their worry, believed even more that this was the will of heaven. With such abundant Purple Mansion Luck, passing the Purple Mansion would surely not be difficult.

At a pavilion halfway up the mountain, Lin Xianzhi sat atop the pavilion, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Precisely because he had experienced the Purple Mansion himself, he understood the difficulty of breaking through to the Purple Mansion even more.

The grander Lin Shiming's phenomenon, the more difficult his Breakthrough would be.

He only hoped that Lin Shiming's Purple Mansion Jade Liquid could exert its maximum effect.

As the phenomenon appeared, he stood up, his Divine Sense bypassing Lin Shiming and extending around Shuangmu Island.

Sure enough, a Yao Beast tide rose again; countless Yao Beasts began to surge, this time not just within a hundred-mile radius, but three thousand miles, and even further, more Yao Beasts were coming.

A Formation Flag flew out from Lin Xianzhi's hand. The Formation activated this time was a Fourth-Order Formation, the Hunyuan Xuanfang Grand Formation, which Lin Xianzhi had purchased from the Qi Kingdom's Cultivation world. It was a protective island Formation that utilized mountains, rivers, and lakes as its terrain!

As the Fourth-Order Formation activated, the other Lin Family Cultivators also flew out one after another, landing on the four sides of Shuangmu Island.

They had waited five years for this day, and Lin Xianzhi's death order from five years ago constantly echoed in their minds.

Everyone looked at the figure on Qinglian Peak and the boundless purple clouds, all stepping forward resolutely.

With such a Genius of the Lin Family, what was there to fear in protecting him!

The Yao Beasts continuously approached, initially all Second-Order and Third-Order Yao Beasts. Besides the Formation unleashing a great slaughter, Lin Shijie stood at the forefront, his fiery Sword Intent soaring.

One person seemed like ten thousand. As the Five Absolute Flames, condensed from the Five Flames True Scripture, transformed into five fiery swords under his Sword Intent, a single sweep of his sword annihilated countless Yao Beasts. Even a Third-Order Middle Stage Yao Beast could not withstand a single strike!

Besides Lin Shijie, Lin Houwei's zijin gourd and Lin Shitao's Five-Colored Silk also displayed immense power, killing Yao Beasts as far away as possible.

They prevented them from approaching Shuangmu Island and affecting Lin Shiming's Breakthrough!

Lin Houshou and Lin Yuqing, the two Body Cultivators, performed exceptionally. They engaged in close-quarters combat with the Yao Beasts, their struggle incredibly perilous!

Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan, the two lightning-attribute Cultivators, continuously bombarded with lightning Spells.

Perhaps because the last Yao Beast tide was not long ago, the situation was quickly brought under control.

No Fourth-Order Yao Beasts appeared, possibly due to the distance, but it was good news nonetheless.

Some Third-Order Late Stage and Peak Third-Order Yao Beasts all perished under Lin Xianzhi's Golden Lotus, and the remaining stragglers were intercepted by Wang Jiao and Golden Wings... Above the sky, a vast Divine Sense once again spread out.

Lin Shiming closed his eyes, feeling the wild growth of various Divine Souls within his Sea of Consciousness. The Alchemy Divine Soul instantly reached Fourth-Order Alchemist, the Artifact Refining Divine Soul instantly reached Fourth-Order Artifact Refiner, and the Formation Divine Soul reached Fourth-Order Formation Master... Each Divine Soul had grown to the level of a Fourth-Order magnate, and they all seemed to be at odds with each other.

Lin Shiming sat in the center, unmoving.

He closed his eyes, recalling Xiao Hu's Dao Heart, recalling the Baozi couple's steadfastness, recalling Lin Guanglin's final epiphany, recalling everything about Mortals, and then thinking of Lin Yuqi, Lin Yutie, and everything about Fangmu Mountain.

He smiled faintly, utterly disdainful.

No matter how these Divine Souls contended, they ultimately sought the eternal prosperity of the Family.

Since they shared the same origin and thought, and the Dao Heart was one, what did he have to fear?

At this moment, the Dao Heart Divine Soul he resided in instantly absorbed countless Divine Sense once again, transcending all in a flash.

He enveloped and devoured the Alchemy Divine Soul. The current Family did not need him to waste time on Alchemy; Lin Shitao was fully capable of doing all of this. The Alchemy Divine Soul instantly began to evolve, transforming into Lin Shitao's appearance in the next moment!

He then enveloped and devoured the Artifact Refining Divine Soul. The Family still did not need him for Artifact Refining. The Family had Lin Houfei, and in the future, there would be Lin Shizhong. Even his Seventh Grand Uncle had begun to learn Artifact Refining... One by one, his Divine Souls continuously grew stronger. The entire process of gathering souls and condensing the Purple Mansion went incredibly smoothly, which he had not expected.

The vastness of his Divine Sense allowed him to easily detect a hundred miles, a thousand miles, and finally a full ten thousand miles—a level only achieved by veteran Early Violet Palace Stage Cultivators!

And Lin Shiming had reached it even before consolidating his Cultivation.

His Divine Soul began to solidify slowly, but at this moment, the Divine Sense in his Sea of Consciousness became somewhat insufficient; his Divine Soul was too large.

This made him a bit worried, but soon, the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid emitted its final purple glow, enveloping his entire body.

The Purple Mansion slowly formed!

And at this very moment, Lin Shiming's aura dramatically changed.

In the next moment, a terrifying true essence spread out, countless waves overturned, submerging countless Yao Beasts.

And Lin Shiming's body stood up from the Peak of Qinglian Peak.

His Purple Mansion Cultivation was fully revealed!

The power in his every move captivated him.

More importantly, countless purple clouds descended from the sky, covering his body.

And his Dao Meridians continuously poured out true essence.

Purple mist surged in from the outside, while green true essence flowed out from his Dao Meridians.

If someone were next to Lin Shiming at this moment, they would notice that green sprouts began to appear on the cliffs, blades of grass pierced through stubborn rocks, flowers bloomed, and trees reached for the sky.

In a blink of an eye, the somewhat barren mountain Peak transformed into a lush forest.

It should be known that this area was once affected by yuan magnetic stone, but now flowers and trees burst forth. If not for the Formation's isolation, countless birds would probably gather here.

Lin Shiming couldn't pay attention to the outside world's reaction. He only felt that within his Dao Meridians, there was an endless stream of true essence, pouring out like a waterfall.

His spirit platform had already expanded countless times due to his Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion, but now it was occupied by this true essence.

The purple clouds outside also transformed into waves of special true essence, surging into his spirit platform, but being occupied by the green true essence within his body, the purple true essence seemed somewhat at a loss.

This made Lin Shiming a bit troubled. At this moment, he even felt that he might be 'burst' to death.

He desperately circulated the Kui Wood Sword Scripture. He understood the purple true essence, but he had no idea about the massive green true essence within his Dao Meridians.

Judging from Lin Xianzhi's experience, there was no mention of this green true essence.

Of course, Lin Shiming couldn't give up at this moment, and no System prompt appeared, indicating there was no danger.

Lin Shiming then discovered that the green true essence began to surge throughout his entire body, enhancing his physical strength. His Body Cultivator strength, which was still a bit short of reaching Peak Foundation Establishment, instantly reached that level and even showed a tendency to transform into the Physical Body of a Purple Mansion Cultivator.

This filled him with joy. His Qi Cultivation Breakthrough led to a Body Refining Breakthrough; this good fortune came extremely suddenly.

What Lin Shiming hadn't expected was that the true essence transformed from the purple clouds actually headed towards the Root of Deduction.

The Root of Deduction was initially in the form of a root, but now it was visibly lengthening, and the amount of Inference Aura also increased again.

He had witnessed the benefits of the Root of Deduction; it could not only help him but also aid other Cultivators of the Family in comprehending. However, its recovery was extremely troublesome. Even with Mingxin spirit tea, its recovery was very slow. One comprehension would exhaust most of the Tea Tree's leaves and take two to three years.

If the Root of Deduction could be improved this time, it might even be able to deduce Cultivation Techniques!

Of course, despite his joy, he dared not relax his circulation of the Kui Wood Sword Scripture.

However, after the green true essence in his Dao Meridians almost filled his entire body, spirit patterns began to appear on his flesh and bones.

Each mark signified that his Spirit Body had fully awakened. From this day forward, his Cultivation speed would increase by another level, at least reaching a level comparable to an unusual Spiritual Root.

It should be known that he was originally just a Three Spiritual Roots Cultivator of wood, fire, and metal.

As for whether it could compare to a Heavenly Spiritual Root, that would require later consideration.

And the green true essence was not yet finished. Within his spirit platform, the marks became even more numerous, and in the next moment, they covered the entire spirit platform.

In his mind, he seemed to see a forest still in its growth stage. A green hurricane began to sweep, heading towards the trees. In a blink of an eye, the trees began to grow wildly, instantly reaching the height of century-old arbors.

This move was precisely the Minor Divine Ability, Wind of Rejuvenation!

Lin Shiming opened his eyes, only to see countless bolts of lightning gathering in the sky!

Dark clouds covered the purple haze, thick and oppressive, making people gasp for breath.

The purple world transformed into a black world again. The Lin Family Cultivators on the periphery couldn't help but look towards Qinglian Peak.

They saw the Lightning Tribulation surging within the dark clouds.

Most Cultivators were puzzled, wondering why a Lightning Tribulation, usually only appearing when breaking through to the Golden Core, had appeared.

Only Lin Xianzhi took a deep look, his eyes gleaming with brilliance. The sword in his hand instantly shone with dazzling golden light!

With such a descendant in the Family, how could it not flourish!

He unleashed a sword strike, and Sword Qi surged for three thousand miles!

Countless Yao Beasts died, and even vast stretches of seawater parted.

In the distance, a Fourth-Order Yao Beast finally arrived slowly. This was a Cloud Tiger Shark, enormous and a tyrannical great Yao Beast of the sea. Seeing the Cloud Tiger Shark, countless Yao Beasts and sea Yao Beasts scattered.

Although the Cloud Tiger Shark's target was humans, it still devoured other small fish, shrimp, and Yao Beasts without hesitation!

Lin Xianzhi was not angry but rather pleased. Lin Shiming had successfully broken through to the Purple Mansion, and there was no need to be as cautious as before.

Moreover, no Yao Beasts would seek death by approaching the Lightning Tribulation.

He could now fight without restraint.

He, alone with his sword, flew tens of miles, directly confronting the Cloud Tiger Shark. This was his first time facing a Fourth-Order great Yao Beast alone after reaching the Purple Mansion.

The Cloud Tiger Shark's fins were comparable to Magic Treasure blades, using its speed in the water to cut down any enemy.

Lin Xianzhi, on the other hand, unleashed golden lotuses one by one. With his dense Sword Qi and the Sword Dao Realm of Sword Qi Coagulation, the Cloud Tiger Shark instantly became covered in blood. However, Lin Xianzhi couldn't strike the Cloud Tiger Shark's belly, otherwise, he could have disemboweled it on the spot.

However, it was clear that the Cloud Tiger Shark, in Lin Xianzhi's hands, could only rage ineffectively, being cut down and fleeing in all directions, not even daring to leap out of the water to devour Lin Xianzhi!

Whether Foundation Establishment or Purple Mansion, a Sword Cultivator is invincible among those of the same Realm.

Their attack power is also invincible!

How could the Cloud Tiger Shark be an opponent?

While the Cloud Tiger Shark was holding back Lin Xianzhi, in the distance, from another direction, another Fourth-Order Cloud Tiger Shark emerged.

The two sharks clearly had a plan! One shark would attract attention, and the other would ambush!

This Fourth-Order Cloud Tiger Shark headed towards Shuangmu Island, intending to devour Lin Shijie and other Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but the next moment, a huge lightning chain fiercely entangled the Cloud Tiger Shark!

It was the Thunder Spirit Turtle, lurking beneath the island, which bound the Cloud Tiger Shark with its first move.

The Cloud Tiger Shark was incredibly enraged; this Thunder Spirit Turtle had once been their defeated foe, but because of its shell, they couldn't devour this Spirit Turtle. Now, this Spirit Turtle was confronting humans alongside them, which made it even more furious.

But before it could recover, a transparent coffin lid was opened in the Void Realm, and Golden Wings and Wang Jiao rushed out together. Wang Jiao bit the Cloud Tiger Shark's head, and terrifying venom poured out, instantly infecting the Cloud Tiger Shark. The golden scythe-like leg of the Golden Winged Mantis also terrifyingly slashed at the Cloud Tiger Shark's dorsal fin. That terrifying attack power was no less than Lin Xianzhi's.

Wang Jiao continued to strike with two claws, tearing the wound open again!

Under the pain, the Cloud Tiger Shark's entire body glowed with Spirit Light!

However, in the distance, a Fourth-Order Formation and a Fourth-Order war treasure ship appeared simultaneously. Under numerous attacks, the Cloud Tiger Shark, eager to rush in, instead became the first Fourth-Order great Yao Beast to die.

The Cloud Tiger Sharks on the periphery became even more enraged, but in the end, with Lin Xianzhi's destructive sword strike, it also fell.

Two Fourth-Order great Yao Beasts had already fallen before Lin Shiming even emerged from seclusion.

And Lin Shijie, relying on his Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivation and Sword Cultivator identity, had killed several Late Stage Third-Order Yao Beasts.

Soon, the Yao Beasts began to collapse. With the disappearance of the purple glow, no more Yao Beasts would surge forth, and everyone's gaze once again turned to Qinglian Peak on Shuangmu Island.

At this moment, the thunderclouds had condensed to the extreme, and as a blue light flashed.

A lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket suddenly descended. This lightning was so fast that it struck Qinglian Peak almost in the blink of an eye.

The first to face it was the Third-Order top-grade Five Thunder Absolute Prison Formation, forming a huge Spirit Cover. Although the Formation was extremely effective against lightning, it was, after all, only a Third-Order top-grade Formation and simply not enough. It only diluted some of the lightning before it continued to fall. Lin Shiming also fiercely activated the two Heavenly Thunder Banners.

The two Heavenly Thunder Banners in the air were directly shattered by the impact, leaving behind some blue electrical arcs, without even needing Lin Shiming to draw his sword.

Instead, he resisted it directly with his Physical Body!

The Mountain Ape Body Refining Art rapidly advanced. He hadn't had time to consolidate it, and the Lightning Tribulation was undoubtedly another option.

After taking the first Lightning Tribulation, Lin Shiming's robes were only somewhat tattered, but in his eyes, his Battle Intent was unparalleled.

As if enraged by Lin Shiming's Battle Intent, another lightning bolt formed within the thunderclouds. This lightning bolt was twice the size of the previous one.

This time, the strike was even faster, giving Lin Shi no time to react.

The Spirit Cover of the Five Thunder Absolute Prison Formation opened again, but it shattered even faster. This time, Lin Shiming also had no Heavenly Thunder Banners, so he had to raise his Spirit Sword, and the 'Heaven-Shattering Style' instantly slashed out.

However, the Zilai Sword was only a Third-Order Magical Artifact, naturally not enough for the current Lin Shiming. Although two lightning bolts were cut open, countless lightning bolts still struck Lin Shiming's body, and the Thunder Turtle inner armor was instantly activated.

The central part of the turtle shell began to constantly flicker with blue spiritual patterns, absorbing a large amount of lightning. The remaining part then entered Lin Shiming's body, once again beginning Body Tempering!

Lin Shiming felt extremely satisfied. He even had a feeling that once the Lightning Tribulation was over, he would be able to Breakthrough to a Purple Mansion Body Cultivator!

A Body Cultivator plus a Sword Cultivator—at that moment, Lin Shiming even had the confidence that, without sufficiently strong Magic Treasures, he could still become one of the best among Early Violet Palace Stage Cultivators.

The third lightning bolt appeared again. This time, as if all the dark clouds had been exhausted, the lightning directly transformed into three bolts.

They slashed down towards Lin Shiming.

The lightning was even faster, and the Spirit Cover of the Absolute Prison Formation, which had just been repaired not long ago, was shattered again!

Lin Shiming also simultaneously unleashed the Zilai Sword and the Yunlai Sword from his hands. His Sword Intent was released, and Sword Qi was injected. With the 'Calamity-Resolving Sword Art,' he fiercely charged towards the three lightning bolts.

With Heaven-Shattering Sword Intent, if even Heaven could be cut, what was lightning?

A full thirty Sword Grass condensed within the Sword Intent, slashing towards the three lightning bolts.

After Lin Shiming's Breakthrough to Purple Mansion, the power of Calamity-Resolving was clearly multiplied by an unknown amount. The three lightning bolts were cut into a dozen smaller lightning bolts.

Lin Shiming breathed a sigh of relief while also directly meeting the lightning!

He allowed the heavenly lightning to temper his Physical Body, contributing to his further advancement.

But before he could completely relax, the System prompt sounded again.

"Please note: consume thousand-year spiritual milk and activate the Fourth-Order Formation to face a new round of Minor Divine Ability Lightning Tribulation!"

Lin Shiming's body instantly froze. The Minor Divine Ability Lightning Tribulation indeed consisted of three bolts, but he hadn't expected that he seemed to have two Minor Divine Abilities within him, and both had Lightning Tribulations!

The dark clouds condensed again, and those who had relaxed in the distance immediately changed their expressions once more.

At this moment, even Lin Xianzhi was stunned.

The Lightning Tribulation had clearly disappeared just now, so why would it appear again at this moment?

Moreover, this time, it seemed to have absorbed the previous dark clouds again. The degree of condensation far exceeded the last time, and the terror of the lightning was definitely doubled.

At this, even Lin Xianzhi became a little nervous.

A more terrifying Lightning Tribulation, and now the Heavenly Thunder Banners were destroyed, and the Heavenly Thunder inner armor definitely couldn't absorb so much. At this moment, he even wanted to kill the Thunder Spirit Turtle and take its shell for Lin Shiming to use.

Besides that, several Formation Flags in his hand also flew towards Lin Shiming.

"Shiming, this is the control of the Fourth-Order Formation, the Primordial Profound Square Grand Formation!"

Lin Shiming didn't hesitate, taking the Formation Flags into his hand. Before his Breakthrough, he had already understood the Family's Fourth-Order Formation, so he naturally knew how to operate it.

As he took the Formation Flags, the scene of the white fir spiritual wood in Nine Leaf City comprehending life once again appeared in his mind. Under that terrifying deduction, he saw a Cultivator whose spirit platform was etherealized, and a Golden Core was nurtured within his Purple Mansion.

This was clearly the Minor Divine Ability of deduction, and also the Minor Divine Ability of that Wood Demon. However, Lin Shiming's deduction was certainly not as good as that Wood Demon's; that Wood Demon's deduction was a method for gathering Pills that helped Cultivators increase their chances!

It was no wonder that a Minor Divine Ability Lightning Tribulation appeared again. At the same time, a trace of doubt lingered in his heart: how many Golden Core Cultivators did the Spirit Beast Sect, which possessed this Wood Demon, actually have!

Of course, at this moment, he had no time to think too much. The enormous heavenly lightning in the sky struck down again. This time, the first heavenly lightning bolt had the power of the second heavenly lightning bolt of the previous Lightning Tribulation!

Lin Shiming dared not hesitate, once again activating the Five Thunder Absolute Prison Formation, and also simultaneously unleashing the Calamity-Resolving Sword Art, barely managing to block the first heavenly lightning bolt.

The second wave of heavenly lightning followed closely behind. This time, it was three heavenly lightning bolts, but their power was even more terrifying than the third wave of lightning from the first Lightning Tribulation!

A single explosion destroyed all the Formation foundations of the Five Thunder Absolute Prison Formation, making it completely disappear.

Lin Shiming once again unleashed Calamity-Resolving Battle Intent, a full fifty Sword Grass, but at the moment of their intertwining, they only shattered two. The remaining one solidly struck Lin Shiming's body. The Heavenly Thunder inner armor collapsed by more than half on the spot, with only the very center remaining intact. Lin Shiming's body was instantly severely injured, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Boom!

The third wave of heavenly lightning appeared. This time, it once again transformed into a single heavenly lightning bolt, but this heavenly lightning was golden, far more terrifying than the previous blue heavenly lightning.

Lin Shiming dared not hesitate. The Primordial Profound Square Grand Formation absorbed the Spiritual Qi of the entire Fourth-Order Spirit Vein, forming a huge shield that stood before him.

The golden heavenly lightning exploded, and instantly, the entire Primordial Profound Square Grand Formation also shattered. It was simply not something a Fourth-Order Formation could block!

The momentum of the Golden Thunder remained undiminished.

The onlookers simultaneously began to worry.

Lin Xianzhi even wished he could rush to Lin Shiming's front and block this heavenly lightning bolt.

However, he knew that if an outsider helped, the Lightning Tribulation would evolve again, becoming even more terrifying!

Lin Shiming swallowed a drop of thousand-year spiritual milk, his face filled with madness. All the Sword Qi within his body was unleashed, and the dense Sword Intent covered a distance of over a hundred li.

One Sword Grass after another bloomed. This time, there were a full one hundred and fifty Sword Grass.

At this instant, he felt as if his Divine Soul was about to be torn apart, subtly losing control.

With his final hand seal, one hundred and fifty Sword Grass slashed towards the golden heavenly lightning.

Rumbling sounds were continuous, with Sword Qi and lightning arcs. For a time, the entire Qinglian Peak was cut down by a full half, and all the vegetation that had revived due to the spiritual body's recovery also completely disappeared.

Fortunately, this strike was finally blocked!

Lin Shiming quickly took out Medicinal Pills for healing, and at the same time, a blue spiritual pond began to appear in the sky. Within the spiritual pond was a pool of spiritual liquid!

The spiritual liquid emitted an unparalleled brilliant light, accompanied by electrical arcs pulsating within it!

"Shiming, quickly enter the Lightning Tribulation Liquid! This can restore your body, and even your Body Refining Cultivation can Breakthrough!" Lin Xianzhi quickly reminded him from afar.

The disappearance of the Lightning Tribulation and the appearance of the Lightning Tribulation Liquid also meant that Lin Shiming had not only Breakthrough to Purple Mansion but also mastered two incredibly powerful Minor Divine Abilities.

This was definitely a great joyous event for the Lin Family!

Lin Shiming also didn't hesitate, entering the Lightning Tribulation Pond. As the Lightning Tribulation Liquid surged in, his body, which had been struck by heavenly lightning, began to rapidly recover.

Furthermore, waves of terrifying energy began to temper his body.

His body surface involuntarily became covered in a layer of golden light. The Cultivators watching from outside only felt a roar of a Mountain Ape rising into the air.

The next moment, an even more terrifying surge of vital energy rushed into the sky, as if a Mountain Ape that could shatter the heavens was roaring to the sky.

And Lin Shiming's Body Refining Cultivation instantly Breakthrough, becoming a Purple Mansion Body Cultivator!

Lin Shiming opened his eyes, which were filled with brilliant light. His condition was better than ever before!

"Seventh Grand Uncle, Shitao, Shijie, there's still some Lightning Tribulation Pond left, you all come too!"
