Chapter 588: Nine Tribulation Thunder Pagoda Formation, Successive Breakthroughs (Two-in-one for subscriptions and monthly votes)

Azure lightning struck down like bolts of punishment, hitting the entire Formation.

The Formation instantly became a dense lightning net.

At the center of this lightning net were Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan.

Both of them were bare-chested, revealing their muscular Physiques.

A faint golden lightning net had condensed on their bodies.

For them, it was naturally not about directly resisting the divine lightning like enduring a Lightning Tribulation.

Instead, they also used the Gengjin Thunder Art to condense a lightning net, using the edges of their net to collide with the edges of the thunder Formation.

This allowed them to absorb the thunder Spiritual Qi within.

This thunder Spiritual Qi was far purer than the Spiritual Qi they usually absorbed, and it was greatly beneficial to their Physiques. They could visibly feel their Physical Bodies growing.

It could even be compared to a Body Cultivator's Body Tempering.

However, at first, the converging lightning net was impossible for them to absorb. Even a tiny wisp would leave them in a frantic state, constantly suppressing it, patching it up everywhere.

In the end, only by working together and using Magic Treasures could they barely absorb it, and the speed was extremely slow.

But for both of them, even so, it was much faster than their usual Cultivation.

And as their Physiques increased, even if they hadn't yet become an Acquired Thunder Body, their absorption speed would greatly increase.

This gave them confidence to surpass Lin Shimo and Lin Houyuan and Break through to the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible... Beside Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan, Lin Houshou was also deep in thought, his brows tightly furrowed.

Before him were several small Formation Plates, surrounded by many Formation Flags.

These Formation Plates and Formation Flags would, with time and Spirit Light, move towards the thunder Formation.

But without exception, they would soon be pulverized.

And each time they were pulverized, he would take out a Jade Slip and meticulously record it.

Although he couldn't comprehend a sixth-tier Formation, even understanding a tiny bit would elevate his Formation Cultivation by a notch.

This was also greatly beneficial for his Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm.

Moreover, if he could break this Formation in advance, the Legacy the Lin Family would obtain would be extremely substantial.

However, unlike other Formations, this one was not without danger. He could only use Formations to test the Formation.

This undoubtedly slowed down his comprehension speed even further.

Fortunately, he had obtained a secret tome on comprehending Formations in the Tai Bai Sword Palace, which made things much easier for him.

Otherwise, other Formation Masters, even if they saw a sixth-tier Formation, might not be able to gain any benefits from it.

And for the Lin Family, this time's harvest was also immense.

Just this Secret Realm and the Legacy within, the Lin Family's gains were significant. Compared to this, the Yang Iron Spirit Ore and Yang Iron Marrow seemed rather ordinary.

Moreover, the Lin Family had more than just this Secret Realm; there were also the remaining Tianxi Islands, large and small Spiritual Veins, ore veins, Spirit Medicine, and various medicine gardens.

This time, the Lin Family didn't have many major gains, but these minor gains were also considerable.

Perhaps Tianliu Island and Thousand Machine Island wouldn't care for these minor gains, but for the Lin Family, they were equally crucial.

The Lin Family's development speed for its Cultivator members was among the forefront of all families.

The consequence of this was that the Lin Family's strength grew much faster than other families.

But at the same time, the Lin Family's financial demands were also extremely high.

If it weren't for the fact that the Lin Family had found many ore veins, Teleportation Arrays, and various Lin Family Restaurant and pill halls over the years,

the Lin Family might have experienced a Spirit Stone crisis long ago.

After all, the Lin Family's stipends grew severalfold.

Now, the larger the Lin Family's base, the higher the chance of producing descendants with Spiritual Roots.

Coupled with the support of turtle spirit coconut spirit wine for fertility,

the growth of the Lin Family's Cultivators was naturally terrifying. This was still with many Cultivators devoted to the Dao, such as diligent Cultivators like Lin Yanjiao, Lin Shilei, and Lin Shiyuan.

Otherwise, the Lin Family's financial pressure would be even greater.

Moreover, the Lin Family currently couldn't stop this strategy.

Only when the Lin Family truly assimilated all its strength and completely stabilized could it undergo reforms.

On Wuqing Island, Lin Shiming was also sitting cross-legged in an Immortal Cave. Before him, a clean-looking Cultivator had appeared.

This Cultivator's face was identical to Lin Shiming's, and their expressions were extremely similar.

Lin Shiming looked at his other self and also felt a little magical.

This Incarnation was even more magical, being the latest version he had seen in True Person Liuhe's Jade Slip.

The main body of this Incarnation was made from various spiritual materials.

Such a Clone, when condensed, could rival a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

However, there were also limitations: the limit of the Incarnation was the limit of the spiritual materials.

For example, if a Clone was refined using the Origin of a fourth-tier Spirit Medicine, then the Clone's limit would be fourth-tier.

If a Clone was refined using the Origin of a fifth-tier Spirit Medicine, then the Clone's limit would be fifth-tier.

Moreover, such a Clone's strength would be much weaker than a normal Cultivator, and its flaws and vulnerabilities were significant.

The advantage was that even if such a Clone was destroyed, it wouldn't have much impact on Lin Shiming.

Furthermore, such Clones could Cultivate on their own, and there wasn't a strict limit on their number.

Relying on his powerful Divine Soul, he could indeed create many Clones, just like True Person Liuhe.

But because he wasn't Cultivating the Liuhe Heavenly Devil Art, Lin Shiming couldn't condense six Clones, which would have been much more powerful.

Moreover, such Clones could also be beneficial for breaking through major Realms.

For example, the current Lin Shimo, using the Five Elements Heavenly Corpse, found it much smoother to break through major Realms.

Of course, such a Five Elements Art, firstly, required Opportunity.

Secondly, the Heart Demon Tribulation was unprecedentedly powerful, and Cultivators with unstable Dao Hearts truly couldn't Cultivate it.

Overall, there were pros and cons, and Lin Shiming couldn't possibly switch to Cultivating the Liuhe Heavenly Devil Art.

After refining the Clone, Lin Shiming placed the latter into his Small World, allowing him to specialize in Cultivating wood-attribute Cultivation Techniques. In the future, it would also be more convenient for him to care for Spirit Medicine.

Currently, the Lin Family indeed had quite a lot of Spirit Medicine.

Lin Shiming Cultivated on Wuqing Island for a few more months before returning to Shuangmu Island via the Teleportation Array.

This lightning-attribute Secret Realm couldn't be fully explored in a short time.

As the Lin Family's strongest combatant, Lin Shiming still needed to remain on Shuangmu Island at all times.

Moreover, he now needed to re-refine the ancient treasure, the Formless Hat, and the soul piercing needle.

Once refined, he would need to seize the time to Cultivate, as time was equally pressing... A rare period of calm, at least for Lin Shiming.

He wasn't in a death seclusion, but for a Golden Core Cultivator, occasional seclusion would last for several years at a time.

Time flowed like water, and in a blink of an eye, ten years had passed.

In these ten years, the Tai Gan Abyss was as if the Tai Gan Shark Clan had left, completely silent.

Lin Shiming had also been on duty in Yunyue City once, but spending the entire day in Yunyue City was no different from being on Shuangmu Island.

In ten years, the Nascent Soul Cultivators on duty in Yunyue Island had increased from two to three.

The new additions were True Lord Chilan of the Chilan Sect and three Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Southern Border.

For the Southern Border and the South Sea, the situation was actually shared.

If the Tai Gan Shark Clan broke out, the latter could also rely on the Tianzhao Sea to directly attack the Southern Border.

The Southern Border had too many large rivers, which greatly influenced the Three Sects of the Southern Border.

They simply couldn't stand by and do nothing.

Aside from a few sects, other matters were incredibly peaceful.

On this day, Lin Shiming landed on Thousand Wood Peak, only to feel a sense of trepidation. The next moment, he felt a slight tremor in his Divine Soul.

Lin Shiming entered the Small World, and the next moment, he brought out the Star Spirit Shell.

At this moment, the shell of the Star Spirit Shell had completely transformed into a dazzling star map.

Every star point on it was clearly visible.

And its aura had transformed from Late Stage fourth-tier to Early Stage fifth-tier!

Evidently, after more than a decade of dormancy, the Star Spirit Shell had reached its limit and broken through to become a fifth-tier demon king.

It had become the Star Spirit Demon King.

But similarly, it also had to undergo a Lightning Tribulation.

For Lin Shiming, his Small World wasn't strong enough, so he naturally couldn't use it to endure the Lightning Tribulation, otherwise, the Small World would collapse.

All of Lin Shiming's possessions would be lost.

Within his Small World, there were not only ten thousand year Spirit Medicine, but also nascent soul fruit, Thousand Transformations Fruit, and ten thousand year cold jade marrow.

As well as various Little Divine Tree, Gold Core Forming Fruit Tree, and even three fu ling fire mulberry fruit trees that extended lifespan by one hundred years.

For the Lin Family, these Spirit Medicine were absolutely indispensable.

And as soon as the Star Spirit Shell entered Shuangmu Island,

what surprised all the Cultivators was that the entire sky actually darkened.

This scene made everyone feel incredible.

Even Lin Shiming felt the same.

At the same time, countless brilliant stars began to appear in the sky. These stars, one after another, outlined a star map identical to the Spirit Shell.

Corresponding one-to-one with the shell.

And it wasn't just the Star Spirit Shell; the Starlight Body Tempering Art within Lin Shiming's body also began to activate involuntarily.

This activation caused a star map to appear on Lin Shiming's body. Many star nodes on his Physical Body began to glow, and the starlight battle robe also appeared on him.

Due to many recent Breakthroughs, the Lin Family had specially arranged a Sub-island. This Sub-island was not close to Shuangmu Island and was covered with various Formations to resist divine lightning.

It even contained the results of Lin Houshou's research in the Thunder Secret Realm.

A marvelous fifth-tier Nine Tribulation Thunder Pagoda Formation had been set up.

With this Formation in place, the Lightning Tribulation would be weakened layer by layer by the Nine Tribulation Thunder Pagoda.

The Lin Family had also undergone tremendous changes in these years. Lin Shilei and Lin Shimo were currently in seclusion, attempting to Break through to the Golden Core Realm.

Lin Houshou, Lei Xuan, Lin Xianzhi, and Lin Shitao were a bit slower.

His two Wind of Rejuvenation in the past decade were both used on the Gold Core Forming Fruit Tree. In the past two years, Lin Shitao had also refined three more batches of Core Formation Pills, yielding two, one, and three pills respectively.

Obtaining six Core Formation Pills.

The reason why Lin Shitao and Lin Houshou hadn't entered seclusion yet was that their hopes were the most slim.

Lin Shiming had prepared two Little Divine Trees for them.

After consuming the Minor Divine Power Fruit, they would then continue their Breakthrough, which would increase their success rate.

As time passed, the starlight in the sky faded, and at the same time, a large expanse of dark thunderclouds emerged.

These thunderclouds blocked much of the starlight, making the sky dim once again!

Boom!

With a violent sound, thunder light erupted in the sky, and the first Lightning Tribulation struck down with a roar.

It headed straight for the Star Spirit Shell.

This bolt of lightning entered the Thunder Pagoda, and in an instant, it began to dissipate layer by layer from the pagoda, finally landing on the shell of the Star Spirit Shell.

Emitting a terrifying roar.

The Star Spirit Shell's Lightning Tribulation seemed to be quite powerful, at least much stronger than that of Real Person Jiuxiao.

With the appearance of the Lightning Tribulation, many Cultivators appeared on Shuangmu Island, including Lin Xianzhi, Lin Shitao, Lin Houshou, and Lin Shiyi.

The Lin Family also entered a state of alert, and countless Cultivators began to fortify their positions and clear the nearby sea area.

After ten years, the number of Lin Family Cultivators had increased significantly again, now exceeding 20,000.

Even the Cultivators who resided on Shuangmu Island year-round numbered in the thousands, making the task of clearing the sea area exceptionally easy.

The Lightning Tribulation continued.

The Star Spirit Shell now opened its two shells, revealing a dazzling Spirit Light. Unlike its Purple Mansion period, it could now release starlight.

These starlights, falling upon the lightning, even made the Lightning Tribulation slow down.

With the speed slowed down, facing the Nine Tribulation Thunder Pagoda became even more relaxed and comfortable.

Soon, it had passed through a full six waves of Lightning Tribulation.

And the Star Spirit Shell's Lightning Tribulation also only had six waves.

A Lightning Tribulation Pool appeared in the sky.

“Thank you, Master!” A clear and pleasant voice rang in Lin Shiming's ear.

The Star Spirit Shell respectfully looked at Lin Shiming, and only after receiving Lin Shiming's nod did it float towards the Lightning Tribulation Pool.

It began to enjoy the restoration from the Lightning Tribulation Pool and the growth of its Physical Body.

After absorbing the Lightning Tribulation Pool, the Star Spirit Shell's strength would greatly increase, and only then would it truly be a demon king.

With the Star Spirit Shell's Breakthrough, many Lin Family members were also beaming with joy.

However, before they could fully recover from their happiness, they saw the Spiritual Qi on Shuangmu Island begin to fluctuate again.

All the Spiritual Qi rushed towards Thousand Wood Peak. Thousand Wood Peak was also a fire-attribute spiritual peak, and the fire-attribute Spiritual Qi on it was the most concentrated.

Everyone seeing this immediately rejoiced again.

This was clearly also an omen of a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm.

And currently, only three people in the Lin Family were Breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, so his identity was naturally obvious.

It was Lin Shijie, who was the first to Break through. He had obtained a fifth-tier spiritual fire, and with Top-Grade Spirit Stones and Core Formation Pills, his chances of Breaking through to the Golden Core Realm were not small.

Now that the Spiritual Qi was gathering, it was almost more than half certain.

One must know that Lin Shijie was also a Sword Cultivator.

His Fire Forged Sword Intent had also reached the Realm of Sword Genesis Myriad Laws, and coupled with his firm Dao Heart, having been tempered many times in the Illusion Heart Pavilion, his chances of Breaking through to the Golden Core Realm were definitely not small.

As for the Lightning Tribulation, there was even less to say.

The deployment of the Nine Tribulation Thunder Pagoda Formation could be described as incredibly brilliant. In the future, if Lin Shiming were to Break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he could probably utilize this Nine Tribulation Thunder Pagoda Formation.

On Shuangmu Island, the darkness dissipated, but at the same time, crimson clouds began to gather.

The Lin Family Cultivators were now greatly enlightened, witnessing two Golden Core Breakthroughs in one day was extremely shocking for them.

One must know that when Foundation Establishment Cultivators Break through to the Purple Mansion Realm, only Spirit Body Cultivators or Minor Divine Ability Cultivators experience Lightning Tribulations.

So even though many in the Lin Family had Broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm in recent years, Golden Core Lightning Tribulations and Golden Core omens were rare.

Now that it appeared, it excited many Lin Family Cultivators immensely.

Each additional Golden Core Cultivator meant that the Lin Family was three points more stable.

It wasn't truly the Lin Family that others claimed relied solely on Lin Shiming.

Moreover, with Lin Shijie's Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, the Lin Family could also begin preparations to head to the Eastern Domain.

After all, with three Golden Core Cultivators and many demon kings, Lin Shijie could fully guard the Eastern Domain, which was also very important for the Lin Family!
