Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints-Chapter 739 - 473: Returning to the Eastern Domain, The Humiliating Trap (Two in One, Subscribe for Monthly Pass)
Shuangmu Island's Transmission Formation, with the adjustments made by Lin Shiyun and Lin Zelu, was once again set up.
However, the number of cultivators heading to the Eastern Domain on this trip wasn't large—Lin Shiming, Jiuxiao Scatter Man, plus Lin Shiyun and Lin Shiyuan.
Those of the 'Shi' generation felt the deepest connection to the Eastern Domain.
This trip to the Eastern Domain wasn't about restoring the Lin Family, but rather about seeking opportunity, and it wasn't suitable to bring too many people.
Yet, an Array Master was indeed essential.
"If my Spirit Rat teleports and can't sense the formation I've secretly prepared, it means my cave dwelling has been exposed!" the Jiuxiao Scatter Man took out a slender red-furred rat, which was particularly pointy and had an unusually large nose, appearing somewhat comical.
But no one dared to underestimate it; this rat was known as the Thousand-Favour Rat and was extremely sensitive to scents, capable of tracking even across a thousand miles.
The Transmission Formation activated as usual, and the red-furred rat quickly disappeared.
About a quarter of an hour later, the heart that Jiuxiao Scatter Man had been holding was finally at ease, and he nodded to Lin Shiming and the other members of the Lin Family Clan.
Lin Shiming also felt relieved. Not only were the Jiuxiao Scatter Man and the Lin Family in the same boat now, but the system notifications he received couldn't be faked either.
After ensuring there were no dangers on the other side, the four of them stepped onto the Transmission Formation.
"Seventh Great-Uncle, if the family encounters any trouble, just crush that Jade Talisman. Kuangfeng True Person should not refuse!" Lin Shiming still instructed.
This time, he also took the Flaming Sword with him. If possible, he still wanted to use the Flaming Sword to find an entrance to the Secret Realm.
Moreover, having the Flaming Sword made things more secure.
He held considerable apprehension towards both Liu He True Person and the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Especially Liu He True Person—his Six Paths Heavenly Demon Technique had left a significant impression on Lin Shiming, and his ability to create numerous indistinguishable copies was confounding.
What was most critical was that the enemy knew he possessed a Cave Heaven magical treasure.
On the contrary, the situation in the Southern Sea Cultivation World was now tending towards stability; the beast tide had also ended, so the likelihood of needing the Flaming Sword was small.
He handed the Jade Talisman, which was a final opportunity to contact Kuangfeng True Person, to Lin Xianzhi as a precaution.
As a burst of Spirit Light appeared, Lin Shiming and the other three individuals quickly found themselves in a dark underground hall.
The hall was still the one beneath Jiuyan Mountain, originally the lair of the Jiuxiao Scatter Man.
The light was extremely dim; most of the Moonlight Stones embedded in the ceiling had lost their spiritual energy and their glow had grown dull.
Moreover, the air was filled with a damp odor.
However, the stalagmites around the hall remained as they were before, undamaged, and a group of Dark Night Bats perched on them was also unharmed.
Jiuxiao Scatter Man took out a jade flute and began to play softly, prompting the Dark Night Bats to hastily fly out, and from the deeper darkness, a giant Dark Night Bat King flapped its wings and appeared with a flap-flap sound.
This Dark Night Bat King was only at the peak of the Third Rank.
Jiuxiao Scatter Man took out some Spirit Beast meat to feed the bats, eliciting excited hissing sounds from them.
The Third Rank peak-level Bat King even settled on Jiuxiao Scatter Man's shoulder, folding its wings together as if embracing him.
After a long communication between man and beast, Jiuxiao Scatter Man sent the bats away, put away his jade flute, and looked towards Lin Shiming:
"Daoist Lin, things are fine here. It seems the tentacles of the Heavenly Demon Sect have not reached the Spirit Talisman Sect!"
Located within the Spirit Talisman Sect's domain, Jiuyan Mountain being untroubled implied that it was highly unlikely for the Spirit Talisman Sect to be in danger.
"The situation is still okay!" Lin Shiming also nodded; if Jiuyan Mountain hadn't been exposed, it meant the Transmission Formation leading to the Eastern Sea could still be accessed directly.
The four of them made their way to the mountain hall of Jiuyan Mountain, where Jiuxiao Scatter Man began to deal with numerous Sound Transmission Jade Slips.
Some slips were twenty years old, others were thirty, or even ten years old.
Jiuxiao Scatter Man had also, at that time, been in seclusion—a common practice within the Cultivation World.
So, cultivators seeking Jiuxiao Scatter Man would often leave messages in the form of jade slips.
"Daoist Lin, I think we should get updated on the Eastern Domain's situation, as I'll be forging a few magical treasures for others here!" Jiuxiao Scatter Man spoke with a hint of worry.
"The Qingyun Mountain Range has been unusually peaceful lately, and it's said that many Demon Kings have retreated deep into the Qingyun Mountain Range, leading to the Zhao Kingdom regaining territory, expanding by another thirty percent!" Jiuxiao Scatter Man revealed.
This was quite peculiar, even leaving Lin Shiming somewhat baffled.
With the Qingxuan Sect driven out of the Zhao Kingdom, the kingdom was now left with only the Spirit Beast Gate and Spirit Talisman Sect as two super sects; the Heavenly Demon Sect, Corpse Refining Gate, and Wanjian Sect had not remained in Zhao Kingdom.

Even if Qingxuan Mountain was appealing, it still lay wasted and unused.
Moreover, the Demonic Race of Qingyun Mountain Range had, instead, fallen back deeper, a move that was highly illogical.
Previously, the Demonic Race had plotted against Qingxuan Sect and would even take advantage of the sudden death of a Purple Mansion Great Demon, pressing their entire force into an attack against Qingyun City.
"We are not in a rush!" Lin Shiming nodded. According to Jiuxiao Scatter Man's prediction, it would take several more years for the Gold Condensation Fruit to mature. Waiting in that Secret Realm cave dwelling was the same as waiting here, but getting things clear in advance here seemed safer.
Perhaps sensing Lin Shiyuan's eagerness, Lin Shiming patted the latter's shoulder.
Compared to Lin Shiyuan, Lin Shiyun was much calmer; he was meticulously observing the surroundings. Of course, if it weren't for his trust in Jiuxiao Scatter Man, Lin Shiyun would probably already be setting up formations.
Although Lin Shiyuan was of the 'Shi' generation, he was ultimately too young, about the same age as those of the 'Ze' generation.
Lin Shiming didn't say much more and found a cave dwelling in Jiuyan Mountain to settle in quietly, secretly consuming Sturgeon Dragon Liquor and refining Star Spirit Fluff, slowly enhancing his physical body.
