584: Acquired thunder body, external clone (two-in-one)

Chapter 587: Acquired Thunder Body, External Clone (Two-in-One)

Below the Tianxi Archipelago, there are eight main Sub-islands.

Among them, Huanxi Island is the largest, and Yu Chang Island is the smallest.

The edge of Yu Chang Island borders the Tiannu Archipelago.

At this moment, as the seawater constantly rolled with waves, several Flood Dragons and several Cultivators from Tianliu Island faced off against each other.

“Fuling Fairy, this is the Yang Iron Ore Spirit Stone Mine discovered by my White Dragon Island, and it is also within the scope of my Tiannu Island!” Immortal Master Bai Yu couldn't help but say.

“Immortal Master Bai Yu, your words are mistaken. This island belongs to the scope of Yu Chang Island, and even if we follow the rule of a thousand li radius around a Sub-island, this small island still belongs to Yu Chang Island!” Zhao Fuling would not back down at this moment.

For Tianliu Island, they also needed to support Tian Liu True Person's Breakthrough at this time.

Naturally, their demand for resources was extremely high.

It was impossible to casually give up any resource, let alone a High Grade Tier 3 Ore, a Yang Iron Ore Spirit Stone Mine.

Although such a Spirit Stone Mine was not as good as a High-Grade Spirit Stone Mine, it was not far off.

High Grade Tier 3 Yang Iron Ore was a primary material in many Tier 4 Magic Treasures, and if this kind of Yang Iron Ore was refined into a shield Magical Artifact, it would be incomparably sturdy.

“Then let's wait for our respective Island Lords to arrive!” Zhao Fuling then spoke directly.

She didn't care about Immortal Master Bai Yu's unbridled gaze.

Tianliu Island naturally would not fear White Dragon Island.

One must know that White Dragon Island was among the lowest ranked of the nine Sub-islands of Nine Dragon Island.

However, Tianliu Island was among the top-ranked islands in the Coral Alliance.

“Fellow Daoist Bai Yu, what good news brings you here as a guest today?” A hearty laugh came from afar.

Lin Shiming, stepping on a spirit boat, landed on the island.

Seeing Lin Shiming appear, Immortal Master Bai Yu's expression also turned ugly. If it were the Lin Shiming of the past, he naturally wouldn't be afraid.

He was merely a Middle Stage Golden Core, but the Spirit Communication Sword behind Lin Shiming was something he could not provoke.

Furthermore, the Island Lord of Nine Dragon Island, Lord Nine Dragons, had already suffered a setback in front of Lin Shiming.

He naturally understood what Lin Shiming meant by 'guest'.

However, he wasn't the only one behind him; Nine Dragon Island also had Lord Nine Dragons.

“Island Lord Lin, according to the sea map, this place is the boundary line between the Tiannu Sea Domain and the Tianxi Sea Domain, and in the South Sea Cultivation World, treasures on the boundary line have always belonged to whoever discovers them first!”

“If we talk about the sea map, this place belongs to Yu Chang Island. If we talk about who discovered it first, it should be Liu Changqing of our Tianliu Island who discovered it first!” Zhao Fuling also spoke.

Her brows were tightly furrowed, showing some anger.

“Our White Jade Flood Dragon also discovered it!” Immortal Master Bai Yu immediately replied.

As he spoke, he pointed to the seabed.

A white jade Flood Dragon instantly leaped out of the water from the seabed.

“Since Your Excellency puts it that way, Fairy Zhao, please report to Coral Island and ask Lord Coral to come and mediate as well!” Lin Shiming looked at Zhao Fuling.

Then he looked at Immortal Master Bai Yu again:

“Fellow Daoist Bai Yu, also, you should call Lord Nine Dragons. Today, we will discuss this matter here!” As soon as Lin Shiming said this, Immortal Master Bai Yu's face instantly turned ashen.

With Lin Shiming here, he could naturally call upon his Autumn Blood Sword.

However, Immortal Master Bai Yu could not call upon Lord Nine Dragons at any time or any place.

Moreover, Lin Shiming's meaning was clear: Coral Island had two True Lord combat strengths here.

Even if Lord Nine Dragons came, he would definitely not gain any advantage.

“Island Lord Lin, Fairy Zhao, our White Dragon Island concedes this matter today!” Immortal Master Bai Yu, knowing there was no room for maneuver, decisively retreated.

Lin Shiming looked at Zhao Fuling.

He hadn't expected their next meeting to be like this.

“Congratulations, Fairy Zhao, on achieving Major Achievement in the Golden Core Stage!” Lin Shiming cupped his hands.

The latter also cupped her hands in return.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin. Today's incident was probably Nine Dragon Island testing my Revered Master!” Lin Shiming nodded.

He naturally understood Zhao Fuling's statement.

Being able to confront and act shamelessly here naturally couldn't be as simple as just for a Spirit Stone Mine.

Regarding the five major forces in the South Sea.

Now, the five True Lords were all simultaneously increasing the number of Nascent Soul Cultivators on their side while also guarding against the other side's Nascent Soul Cultivator numbers growing too large.

Originally, the Coral Alliance only had two Nascent Soul combat strengths. If they gained one more, the gap between these major forces would widen again.

At that time, even the Heavenly Illumination Sect would definitely not be enough to contend.

“No need to be polite. Our two families have formed an alliance, so we should help each other!” Lin Shiming said.

And just then, Wang Jiao also flew up from the seabed.

“Wang Jiao, apologize to Fairy Zhao!” Lin Shiming looked at Wang Jiao again.

When he arrived at the Tianxi Archipelago, Lin Zekong had already told him about the matter.

He was quite helpless about Wang Jiao's actions.

A Tier 5 Demon King fighting a newly Breakthrough Early Stage Golden Core.

It could even be considered an unfair victory.

Of course, Lin Shiming had no intention of returning that demon core.

Wang Jiao also quickly let out a low growl, indicating an apology.

Zhao Fuling nodded.

“Revered Master, there must be High Grade Yang Iron Ore within this Yang Iron Ore Spirit Stone Mine!” Just then, Wang Jiao spoke again through spiritual transmission.

It growled, sounding a bit excited.

This Flood Dragon's keenness had also increased to an incredibly terrifying degree.

When Lin Shiming arrived, a prompt had actually appeared, indicating that there was an even better treasure within the underground Yang Iron Ore Spirit Stone Mine.

Of course, it wasn't the High Grade Yang Iron Ore that Wang Jiao mentioned, but rather Yang Iron Marrow.

This was a Tier 5 treasure, and specifically a Medium Grade Tier 5 treasure, which could be used as a primary material for a Tier 5 Lifebound Treasure.

It was exceptionally precious.

Lin Shiming estimated that Immortal Master Bai Yu was unwilling to give up precisely for this reason.

After all, the White Jade Flood Dragon, like Wang Jiao, belonged to the water-attribute Flood Dragon species.

It was not surprising that it could sense it.

This Yang Iron Ore Spirit Stone Mine had been mined before, but by a small force.

Their mining speed was slower, and they hadn't sensed the Yang Iron Marrow within.

They probably also thought it was just High Grade Yang Iron Ore.

After all, High Grade Yang Iron Ore was only a Low Grade Tier 4 treasure, and for Cultivators, it wasn't considered particularly precious.

Therefore, the mining force wouldn't directly mine this Yang Iron Ore Spirit Stone Mine directly.

It ended up benefiting Tianliu Island.

“Let's go, Wang Jiao!” Lin Shiming directly stepped onto Wang Jiao's Flood Dragon head and headed towards the Tianxi Archipelago.

Now that the matter was resolved, he left.

“Revered Master, that little girl's gaze towards you was very strange, and why didn't we take that Spirit Stone Mine, roar!” Not long after they left, Wang Jiao was full of confusion.

“No!” Lin Shiming interrupted directly, not letting Wang Jiao continue.

He naturally knew Zhao Fuling's state; there was hatred in her eyes, which was probably due to her Cultivation Technique.

But in the depths of her eyes, there was also some affection.

However, Lin Shiming knew clearly that if Zhao Fuling became emotional again, it would be a violation of her Dao and Cultivation Technique.

Her True Qi would regress.

Lin Shiming would not do such a thing to harm someone's Dao and Cultivation Technique.

“Revered Master, you are very good to her, roar!” Wang Jiao spoke again.

This was its first apology!

Although it was just a roar, it was Wang Jiao, a Demon King!

“Talkative.” Lin Shiming scolded, and Wang Jiao finally shut its mouth.

Instead, it quietly sensed, leading Lin Shiming to search for Spirit Stone Mines.

Finally, near the Tianxi Archipelago, they found two Medium Grade Spirit Stone Mines and one Tier 3 Jade Crystal Mine.

This time, the harvest was considerable.

In addition to the Spirit Stone Mines, the Lin family quickly found three Yellow Rank Secret Realms and one Profound Rank Secret Realm.

However, the Cultivators who would enter the Secret Realms were not yet ready.

Many Cultivators from the Tianxi Archipelago likely hid in the Secret Realms.

Of course, there were also many Loose Cultivators and Mortals who hid on Huanxi Island in the Tianxi Archipelago.

That island was the largest, had a Tier 5 Formation, and was managed by a Purple Mansion Late Stage Cultivator, Daoist Taiyun.

When the Lin family arrived, the latter handed everything over to the Lin family.

This included the shops in the market, the Formation of Huanxi Island, and various Spirit Stone Mines.

Moreover, the latter had managed Huanxi Island in an orderly manner.

The Lin family simply took Huanxi Island as a vassal.

After the exploration of the thunder-elemental Sect Legacy on Wuqing Island was complete, the Lin family would likely withdraw from the Tianxi Archipelago.

After all, the Tai Gan Abyss crisis still existed, and the Lin family couldn't spread themselves so thin. Taking a distant vassal was a better decision.

Lin Shiming didn't pay much attention to these lower-tier Secret Realms and resources now. He simply landed on Wuqing Island.

He sat in meditation quietly.

At this time, a considerable complex of halls had already been built on Wuqing Island.

And Teleportation Arrays were also being meticulously arranged.

Three days later, with a flash of Spirit Light, Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan emerged from the Teleportation Array, accompanied by Lin Houshou.

Lin Houshou's Formation Dao Cultivation had reached Medium Grade Tier 5.

Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan, both with Thunder Spiritual Roots, had now reached Purple Mansion Late Stage.

Both were somewhat excited. Hearing about the Thunder Sect Legacy, they rushed over without stopping. As for the defense of Yunyue Island, the Lin family handed the Lei Ming Sword to Lin Zeli. With her there, no one in the Lin family could say anything.

After all, in terms of combat power, one Lei Ming Sword could contend with countless Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan.

Moreover, Yunyue Island truly had not seen much activity recently.

The Tai Gan Shark Clan seemed to have truly fallen silent.

They were even more low-key than before.

And the more this was the case, the more the five major forces dared not send Cultivators into the Tai Gan Abyss.

Instead, they were now extremely concerned about the number of Nascent Soul Cultivators in each force.

After all, this era had changed. Only Nascent Soul True Lords could determine the rise and fall of a Cultivation force.

The group arrived by the mountain stream on Wuqing Island.

Lin Zecheng was guarding there now.

Between Lin Zekong and Lin Zecheng, the former had a broader perspective, while the latter was more meticulous.

“Uncle Xiaolei, Uncle Lei Xuan, Seventh Uncle, Second Grandfather!” Lin Zecheng quickly spoke when he saw them arrive.

The four all nodded in response, with Lin Houshou and Lin Shilei directly entering the Secret Realm.

Lei Xuan waited outside.

“Lei Xuan, you go in too. No need to be polite. You've been with my Lin family for many years. Sometimes, you should contend when you need to. The Lin family doesn't treat you as an outsider!” Lin Shiming said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lei Xuan smiled awkwardly, then scratched his head, nodded, and entered the mountain stream, arriving at the Lei Xuan Secret Realm.

Lin Shiming continued to wait outside.

At this time, he was also quite distressed. His Cultivation was high, and he couldn't enter many low-level Secret Realms.

At this moment, he had the idea of an external Clone.

After all, his Cultivation had reached a Bottleneck: his Qi Cultivation was at Middle Stage Golden Core, and his Body Refining Cultivation was at Middle Stage Golden Core.

It was not easy to improve either of these in a short period.

Instead, the Clone technique would be of great help to him.

After all, sometimes, a Clone was more convenient, and even if an accident occurred, the Clone could take the risk.

For example, when he was in the Qingxuan Sect in the Eastern Domain, Lin Shiming relied on his Clone to evade Immortal Master Divine Machine's schemes.

However, at that time, he used a special Clone, directly transformed from a refined corpse.

Now, if he were to refine an external Clone, he would have to Cultivate from scratch. This would have greater growth potential and would be of greater help to Lin Shiming.

After pondering, Lin Shiming took out Immortal Master Liuhe's Cultivation Technique Jade Slip and began to study it... While Lin Shiming was studying the Clone technique, inside the Secret Realm, Lin Houshou, Lin Shilei, and Lei Xuan had already arrived at the ruins.

The lightning here was extremely powerful, with deafening roars.

Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan looked at it, their eyes shining with wonder.

“This is definitely a Tier 6 Lightning-Attracting Formation!” Lin Houshou was also extremely excited.

Although he couldn't fully comprehend a Tier 6 Formation, it didn't stop him from yearning for it.

Moreover, his Breakthrough to Tier 5 Golden Core and his study of Tier 6 Pill Formulas would definitely be beneficial.

His Formation Cultivation was his Dao path of Cultivation.

The wider he walked, the greater his chances of Breakthrough.

Of course, a Tier 6 Formation also meant that this Formation was not so easy to break.

Even without Cultivators controlling it, obtaining the Legacy within would be extremely difficult.

Otherwise, Daoist Xieyu would not have had such a thought.

“Second Uncle, can we just Cultivate here? I feel that our Cultivation Technique will yield twice the results with half the effort here, and we can attract lightning for Body Tempering. Perhaps we can form an Acquired Thunder Body!” Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan said.

They both Cultivated the Purple Heaven Thunder Scripture, which was Lei Xuan's ancestral Cultivation Technique.

It also included the secret method for casting the Geng Metal Divine Lightning.

Besides that secret method, there was also the Acquired Thunder Body secret method.

This secret method had extremely high requirements for lightning.

In other places, they would not be able to do it.

But in this Tier 6 Lightning-Attracting Formation, as long as they could withstand it and not die, they felt that their chances of forming an Acquired Thunder Body were extremely high.

This kind of Acquired Thunder Body was still inferior to an Acquired Spiritual Body, but for Cultivators, having a quasi-Spiritual Body was already extremely good.

It was worth risking a fight.

What's more, if the Thunder Body was formed, both of them could even directly withstand the Formation and enter to retrieve the Legacy.

Of course, at present, for the two of them, it was definitely not possible.

“Then I'll help you set up a guiding Formation!” Lin Houshou also spoke. He was very optimistic about these two juniors.

Hearing that they could gain an Acquired Thunder Body, his mind also became active.

He took out Formation Flags and began to guide some of the lightning.

These lightning bolts were incredibly powerful now, so they had to be extra careful. Guiding out one-tenth of the intensity would be enough for Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan to Cultivate.

After all, this was a Tier 6 Lightning-Attracting Formation.

Of course, the group was also more interested in the name of this Sect and the Legacy within.

Soon, the Formation was set up. Lin Houshou also used a single line to guide out an auxiliary scattered lightning Formation.

However, even so, the inside of that Formation instantly became charred black, blasted beyond recognition.

Seeing this, both of them were somewhat wary, but they both gritted their teeth and headed towards this auxiliary scattered lightning Formation.
