575: Five corpses divided into souls, underground secret realm

Chapter 578: Five Corpses and Separated Souls, Earth Rank Secret Realm

The entire scene had completely turned into a one-sided situation.

Each icy breath from the enormous Frost Turtle Demon King would form a massive storm of ice blades.

Every ice blade was about a foot long, and there were tens of thousands of them. Each one also had Spirit Runes appearing, making them stronger than a single strike from a third-tier Magical Artifact!

And this was just a casual breath from the Frost Turtle Demon King.

Although the five Heavenly Corpses were enveloped in thick multicolored light, they were clearly no match for the Frost Turtle Demon King. All the Heavenly Corpses were sliced beyond recognition, their Spirit Light scattered.

The ferocity roused by the secret technique also seemed to be losing its momentum.

Boom!

After the Earth-attribute refined corpse cracked, the Fire-attribute Heavenly Corpse was also on the verge of collapse.

And it should be noted that this Fire-attribute Heavenly Corpse was the most formidable female corpse, the Spirit Corpse that Daoist Black Cloud once intended to revive. However, this Fire Corpse was also the most severely suppressed.

Several corpses let out mournful cries.

Lin Shimo, seeing this, his eyes grew even more resolute. From a distance, while observing, he released various Magic Treasures, including the Heavenly Corpse Banner and five Demon Suppressing Pagodas.

However, at this moment, he had no other moves. Instead, in his mind, he began to Cultivate the Soul Fusion Art.

Finally, he performed the Extracorporeal Incarnation Technique.

Five Clones were separated from him and, guided by the blood pact, surged towards the five Heavenly Corpses.

This scene caught the five Heavenly Corpses somewhat off guard.

There seemed to be a slight disturbance.

Lin Shimo, seeing this, his expression became even more determined.

He wanted to form his Golden Core, and this step was one he absolutely had to take!

“Wang Jiao, I’m counting on you!” Lin Shimo transmitted his voice to Wang Jiao.

This time, he also intended to use the Frost Turtle Demon King's ice storm to freeze the Divine Souls of the five Heavenly Corpses.

Their Divine Souls had actually long since been extinguished, but because the blood fiend Qi accumulated more and more, they were reborn each time. These blood fiend Divine Souls usually remained hidden, but at the critical moment of Breakthrough, they could be fatal.

This was also the greatest flaw of the Five Elements Heavenly Corpse Art. It granted Cultivators powerful Breakthrough abilities, but also enhanced the spirituality of the five corpses.

And today, he would use the Soul Fusion Art and True Person Liuhe's unique Extracorporeal Incarnation Technique to transform his five Heavenly Corpses into Clones. Once nurtured, they would be eternally free from worry.

His chances of Breaking Through to the Golden Core would also be unprecedentedly high!

In the distance, Wang Jiao had been waiting in the lake for a long time.

It had even killed several peripheral frost turtles in the sea for practice, unable to resist showing off in front of others.

While Lin Shiming's Immortal Cave was good, it couldn't eat any of the Star Spirit Shells or Water Spirit Shells inside, and Lin Shiming didn't treat it with respect.

Unlike outside, where it could eat anything.

Especially this Frost Turtle Demon King, which even had a Golden Core!

Wang Jiao roared, breaking out of the sea. A pair of black horns shot out black Spirit Light.

It directly struck the shell of the Frost Turtle Demon King. At the same time, before its body arrived, its venom struck first.

Under the cover of black light, the Frost Turtle Demon King couldn't dodge at all.

And even its exceptionally defensive shell was being corroded by the venom.

However, the corrosion was extremely slow due to the ice storm.

“Roar roar! Come into my mouth!” Wang Jiao roared, soaring through the air on clouds. Its escape speed was terrifyingly fast; even Lin Shiyi, who was observing from the side, felt he couldn't see its figure clearly.

As for the other Lin Family members and affiliated forces, their expressions varied.

The former were immensely excited, proud of the Lin Family's strength.

The latter, while joyful, also harbored deep apprehension.

At this moment, the five Heavenly Corpses ignited with various colored Spirit Lights. Lin Shimo also sat down on the spot, while Lin Shiyi guarded Lin Shimo's side, never leaving him!

Lin Shimo could not be disturbed at this time.

Fortunately, Wang Jiao completely suppressed the Frost Turtle Demon King at this moment.

The Demon King roared incessantly, releasing its Profound Ice Storm madly, but when it landed on Wang Jiao's eerie scales, it appeared somewhat powerless.

Wang Jiao, in a way, was half a Water-attribute flood Dragon.

The Frost Turtle Demon King's most lethal Divine Ability was this Profound Ice Storm.

And each time Wang Jiao's third claw struck, it caused a crack to appear on the Frost Turtle Demon King's shell.

Finally, with a roar, the Frost Turtle Demon King could no longer hold back and tried to bite Wang Jiao, only to be struck on the head by Wang Jiao's tail, instantly shattering most of its head.

It became half-dead.

Wang Jiao grabbed the turtle shell with one claw and dug into the turtle's head with the other, directly tearing the Frost Turtle Demon King into a bloody pulp.

It then opened its bloody mouth and began to devour it.

“Zeyun, set up the Formation. Everyone else, clear the entire island!” Cold Turtle Island was finally occupied. Most of the several fourth-tier frost turtles were killed, and two were directly captured alive by the Lin Family and controlled using Spirit Control Seals.

After all, this place was more suitable for frost turtles, so keeping them was clearly better.

Moreover, these frost turtles had considerable talent and great potential for cultivation.

While the Demon Emperor here had no Golden Core to control, controlling Purple Mansion Great Demons was still possible.

Lin Zekong and Lin Zecheng also performed exceptionally well. Occupying Cold Turtle Island also meant that the Lin Family's sea territory around Tengmu Islands had expanded by the distance of another inner island.

Today, Cold Turtle Island could serve as a defensive stronghold, guarding the borders of the Tengmu Islands.

Of course, it also meant that the Lin Family had once again acquired a Spirit Stone Mine and a fifth-tier Spiritual Vein.

And a Secret Realm.

Everyone was smiling, including the affiliated Cultivators.

Although they couldn't occupy territory on Cold Turtle Island, by following the Lin Family, at least they had a place on the islands of the Tengmu Islands.

According to the Lin Family's plan, if they didn't earn merit, they could only purchase it at the Tengmu Islands' Auction.

At that time, the price they would have to pay would not be something that could be bought by just sending a few people.

And for the Lin Family, having fewer cannon fodder was also acceptable.

However, at this time, they were only setting up blocking Formations and developing the outer areas of Cold Turtle Island; everyone was waiting for Lin Shimo.

Lin Shimo was still refining the five Heavenly Corpses.

Wang Jiao had also settled in an inner island lake in the very center of the island, swimming around joyfully.

Clearly, beneath that inner island lake was the Spirit Stone Mine.

For Wang Jiao, occupying a Spirit Stone Mine was very exciting.

It wanted to embezzle more from this mine; after all, Lin Shiming managed the other one, but this one didn't have him, and it was currently the strongest.

What it feared most now was Lin Shimo and the others complaining!

Lin Shiming separated his Clone, and the process lasted an entire day.

As night fell, stars appeared above Cold Turtle Island.

However, compared to the Hongmu Islands, the stars here appeared sparser, and their light was not as brilliant.

Lin Shimo opened his eyes, and simultaneously, the five Heavenly Corpses also opened theirs.

Six pairs of eyes met, and at this moment, all six smiled in the same way.

He had succeeded; now, his Breakthrough to the Golden Core had no obstacles whatsoever.

He was full of confidence.

The Five Elements Heavenly Corpse Art not only helped in condensing the Purple Mansion but also benefited the condensation of the Golden Core.

A Golden Core condensed with Five Elements Heavenly Fire would be more powerful. The only issue was the greater consumption of resources, and he didn't know where to find Core Formation Pills.

This was what made Lin Shimo most hesitant.

However, at this moment, his most important task was to explore this Secret Realm and the mine.

“Second Brother, how long have I been in seclusion?” Lin Shimo asked with a relaxed smile.

“Only a day. The Formation is ready, and once we explore the Secret Realm and the mine, we can return to Shuangmu Island!”

Lin Shijie is currently guarding Tengmu Island, and he is also in the process of Breaking Through to the Golden Core. Currently, Lin Zekong and Lin Zecheng are guarding this side, and they still have some time before they Breakthrough to the Golden Core.

So, if Lin Shimo is ready, he can return to the Lin Family first to prepare for training in the Illusion Heart Pavilion.

After his state of mind Breaks Through, he can then prepare Core Formation Pills or other Spirit Medicine for Core Formation and proceed with Core Formation.

“Let’s try the Secret Realm first!” Lin Shimo changed the subject. He wasn't sure if the Family had Spirit Medicine for him.

At this moment, he even hesitated. If the Family didn't have a Core Formation Pill for him, could he still leave home without permission, as he did before, to search for one?

The answer was clearly no.

He was now inextricably linked to the Lin Family. Time had proven him wrong, and Lin Shiming right.

In the Family, as long as he could contribute, he felt that was enough.

As for the Core Formation Pill, he could wait indefinitely!

Lin Shimo had a conviction in his heart, and his eyes were exceptionally bright.

A city had been built in the central-rear part of Cold Turtle Island.

This city would become the fortress of Cold Turtle Island in the future, and the Lin Family would be stationed here permanently.

The two walked into the city, which already had a considerable scale. The Lin Family's restaurants and alchemist shops had opened, and other shops were being reorganized and would open as soon as possible.

This place would become a frontline like Nine Peaks Island in the future!

Of course, they still needed to wait for Lin Houshou to arrive. With Lin Houshou's Formation prowess, setting up a fifth-tier Formation would make it truly secure.

Moreover, the Teleportation Array had already been opened, allowing for immediate travel to Shuangmu Island.

This had already made the island completely secure!

After all, a Nascent Soul True Lord level of power could appear on the Lin Family island.

Even if a beast tide from the Ice Sea's Yao Race were to attack, there would be no worries.

“That’s the Auction!” Lin Shiyi occasionally introduced the plans for Cold Turtle City.

Lin Shimo was also overjoyed.

The group found Lin Zekong and Lin Zecheng in an Auction hall.

Now, the initial results of the great war were evident.

Most importantly, it attracted Cultivators to stay in Cold Turtle City, thereby fortifying the defenses and developing the Tengmu Islands and this icy sea region.

Contrary to their initial belief that Spirit Medicine was scarce here,

After inspecting the island, it became clear that the island produced a Spirit Material called Ice Crystal Flower.

This Ice Crystal Flower was a High Grade third-tier Material and also an important auxiliary ingredient for Foundation Establishment Pills.

For the Lin Family, this was also an extremely beneficial direction.

It could be developed in the future.

The four gathered and headed towards the inner lake.

For them, the most important aspects were the richness of the mine and the final Secret Realm.

This place was not as good as Ice Wolf Island; it lacked cold jade mines.

However, everyone's expectations for the Secret Realm were quite high.

Most Secret Realms had been developed to some extent.

And then changed hands.

But this Secret Realm had definitely not been developed. Even if the Frost Turtle Demon King had entered, it couldn't develop it.

It couldn't refine Artifacts or mine resources.

It probably ate a lot of Spirit Medicine, though.

But within a Secret Realm, many resources are not just Spirit Medicine.

The group arrived at the inner island lake. This lake was somewhat similar to the Lin Family's former Spirit Turtle Island.

That Spirit Turtle Island is now used for raising Spirit Turtles and Water Spirit Shells, and it is an extremely important Family land for the Lin Family.

However, this inner island lake might not be able to be developed in the same way.

After all, there seemed to be a cold vein beneath it, making the temperature relatively low.

This would somewhat affect the growth of ordinary Spirit Beasts.

After all, the Lin Family needed to expand its scale to supply the Lin Family Restaurants throughout the entire Coral Alliance.

Over the years, Water Spirit Shells, Water Spirit Turtles, and Celestial Sound Snails had been cultivated for decades, but they were still somewhat in short supply.

The four arrived at the bottom of the lake. Wang Jiao was currently lying at the bottom, using its claws to mine High-Grade Spirit Stones.

There was even a corpse next to it.

“There was a thief, and this King found him!” Wang Jiao roared, proudly puffing out its chest.

Lin Zekong and the other's expressions changed. It seemed that even with the Lin Family's strict prohibitions, some Cultivators still took risks.

They had to be stricter about this.

It also served as a warning to them; perhaps they had been too lenient with those affiliated Families.

Cannon fodder should have the awareness of cannon fodder. This time, it was the Lin Family's Spirit Puppets and Lin Shimo's blood corpses that suffered losses.

Casualties among affiliated forces were much more common.

This seemed to have made them believe that the current Lin Family valued them highly.

“I will have Yanqing handle this matter strictly. Today, we must also reflect!” Lin Zekong said. Compared to Lin Zewen's methods, they were somewhat indecisive.

This was something they needed to improve.

Of course, after deliberation, they examined the mine. The size of this mine was also a miniature High-Grade Spirit Stone Mine.

It was somewhat similar to the one on Nine Peaks Island.

But for the Lin Family, it was still an immense resource.

With so many Purple Mansion Cultivators in the Lin Family now, the consumption of High-Grade Spirit Stones was also high.

And there were so many Teleportation Arrays.

As for the Top-Grade Spirit Stone Mine in the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the sea...

The High-Grade Spirit Stones within that one could not be mined at will either.

They had to be left to give birth to Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

After inspecting the mine, the group looked at a huge ice cave by the lake. The ice crystal flowers at the entrance of this ice cave were at least two thousand years old.

This scene greatly surprised the group.

However, after entering the cave and inspecting it, they discovered that the entrance to the Secret Realm was actually inside the ice cave.

Deep within the ice cave, there was a massive hall.

This hall was somewhat similar to an Immortal Cave of ancient Cultivators.

This seemed to be the Legacy Immortal Cave of an ancient Cultivator.

This made the group overjoyed.

“This seems to be an Earth Rank Secret Realm, capable of accommodating Purple Mansion Cultivators at its highest level!” Lin Zelu also went with them at this moment. His judgment of this Secret Realm was much more extensive than the others’.

“Notify Seventh Uncle. Let Seventh Uncle arrange it; there might be danger inside!” Lin Zekong and Lin Zecheng exchanged glances.

Finally, they looked at Lin Shimo and Lin Shiyi.

“We should indeed call Shiming to take a look. He always finds good treasures, and with him here, no trouble will arise!” Lin Shiyi also nodded.

As the Ten Thousand Li Jade was taken out.

Lin Shiming also came out of seclusion upon receiving the news. This was the first time the Lin Family had acquired an Earth Rank Secret Realm, a Secret Realm capable of containing Purple Mansion resources.

Perhaps the resources the Lin Family lacked could all be found within the Secret Realm.

So, Lin Shiming was also not calm at this moment and hurriedly rushed over with a group of Lin Family members!
