Chapter 986 - 602: God-breaking Needle, Cold Jade Vein (Two in One)
Inside the Cave Heaven, another injection of a fifth-rank supreme-grade wood-attribute Spirit Vein occurred.
A small jungle had already emerged here.
These jungles were still just trees infused with plenty of Spiritual Energy for the time being.
Additionally, some birds and beasts had been introduced, frolicking within the jungle, bringing a touch of vitality and Spiritual Energy to the Cave Heaven.
Lin Shiming awoke from his cultivation, and at this moment, he could see within the Sea of Consciousness, his Divine Sense Palace had become further refined.
Aside from the Divine Sense Palace, there were eight Divine Sense Soldiers encircling its sides.
He felt his Divine Sense had grown stronger once again, but compared to breaking through, there was still much to be desired.
However, at the Golden Core Late Stage, every bit of progress was worth celebrating.
Finishing his cultivation, he turned his gaze toward the Cave Heaven.
He saw the Spirit Lake shimmering with starlight, as if a colossal star beneath the lake was radiating luminous spiritual light.
At the moment, it was nearing dawn, and the starlight in the sky resonated with the starlight beneath the lake, casting expansive rays of tranquil light, forming a breathtaking morning scene.
The Star Spirit Clam was currently undergoing a breakthrough below.
What puzzled him was that the aura of the Star Spirit Clam was already nearing Purple Mansion Late Stage strength but still hadn't emerged, seemingly aiming directly for the fifth-rank Demon King realm.
Seeing this, Lin Shiming naturally rejoiced—if the Star Spirit Clam could reach the fifth rank, his physical body could potentially advance to the Golden Core Late Stage.
Currently, his physical body was merely at the Golden Core Early Stage. For him to perform so dominantly among Golden Core True Persons, it was largely thanks to the combined strength of his Divine Sense, physique, Secret Techniques, and an abundance of Magical Treasures and Spiritual Treasures.
Moreover, advancing his physical body to the Golden Core Late Stage would aid his breakthrough to Nascent Soul. Given his Thousand Wood Spirit Body constitution, the results from this synergy would naturally be enhanced.
Within the Spirit Lake, countless Spirit Fish swam at the moment, among which the black Spirit Fish seemed noticeably larger. Lin Shiming found this somewhat surprising. Besides the black Spirit Fish, the Water Spirit Shell exuded spiritual brilliance in the lake; its open shell revealed the newly nurtured Water Spirit Pearl inside.
It, too, seemed on the verge of reaching Purple Mansion Late Stage.
Lin Shiming was highly satisfied. Beyond the Spirit Lake lay fruit trees in the distance. While most of the spiritual fruit trees were inside the Purple Sun Tower, the Transforming Infant Fruit Tree was planted within the Cave Heaven.
On a faraway hillside, Elder Mu still observed the Transforming Infant Fruit Tree.
His eyes gleamed increasingly brighter, as if some significant discovery had been made.
Lin Shiming didn't concern himself much with Elder Mu, as the Transforming Infant Fruit Tree was only two centuries old, far from its fruit-bearing period.
Behind the Transforming Infant Fruit Tree was a stone wall, where the Golden Winged Mantis, having devoured the inner core of the fifth-rank Frost Demon Mantis, was now undergoing its own breakthrough.
Within the Flood Dragon Nest, several snake and python hatchlings absorbed the essence of the Flood Dragon, representing the latest generation of Flood Dragon offspring within the Lin Family.
This time, there were as many as five fairly gifted snake and python specimens.
Once they absorbed enough Flood Dragon essence, they could undergo Bloodline Reversion and become Flood Dragons.
As the morning light broke across the land, Lin Shiming lifted his gaze to greet a new day, and the notification from his system finally chimed.
[Use your Divine Sense to break the array protecting the Broken Divine Needle. You will obtain the fragmented Spiritual Treasure, Broken Divine Needle!] Lin Shiming was slightly astonished.
It was no wonder he hadn't considered it—after all, among fifth-rank treasures, Divine Sense treasures were exceedingly rare. Until now, he had only counted the Sword Storing Book as half a Divine Sense treasure.
Now, however, there was a fragmented Spiritual Treasure-level Broken Divine Needle.
Not only had this caught him off guard, but even Heavenly Worry Sage likely hadn't anticipated this.
Otherwise, the sage might have tried using Divine Sense on it.
Of course, it was also possible that even with Divine Sense, success was not guaranteed.
Lin Shiming activated his Divine Sense and summoned all eight Divine Sense Soldiers, aiming them at the Broken Divine Needle.
In an instant, spirit shadows of blades, spears, axes, and swords descended upon the Broken Divine Needle, but even so, the needle remained utterly unmoved.
Lin Shiming's brows furrowed deeply; this fragmented Spiritual Treasure was proving to be more challenging than he had imagined.
The absence of the Divine Sense Palace meant a significant reduction in Divine Sense attack power.
He took out the Divine Bead of Mystical Power, which stored one more assault from the Divine Sense Soldiers.
The next moment, he launched another attack.
This time, the exertion left him feeling slightly dizzy. Although the Divine Sense Soldiers refined his Divine Sense, the consumption was far too exhausting to sustain.
Fortunately, with the double-strength assault of the Divine Sense Soldiers, the Broken Divine Needle finally showed signs of reaction. A faint barrier seemed to dissipate under the assault.
In the following moment, intricate treasure markings surfaced, appearing before Lin Shiming's eyes.
Lin Shiming dared not lower his guard; he hastily recorded every treasure marking.
He even used Spirit Jade to create another record and then returned to refining his Divine Sense Palace.
The cultivation of the Treasure Mark technique also required an immense investment of time, and compared to its efficacy, the refinement of the Divine Sense Palace was considerably faster.
The crisis of the Taiqian Shark Tribe—its timing remained uncertain—necessitated urgent focus on breakthroughs.
This would prepare him for any impending danger.
With the refining of the Divine Sense Palace, the Cave Heaven returned to tranquility once more.
...
In the Soarwood Sea Area, behind Twin Camel Island, countless Spirit Boats were already rushing outward.
Underwater glaciers and mountain islands of ice were teeming with Spirit Beasts emerging and engaging in battles both above the air and within the icy depths.
Among the cultivators, the Ye Family, positioned somewhere in the middle, found themselves hesitating. In their eyes, the Lin Family was no better than other factions.
To them, all families were using them as cannon fodder.
Sending them forward to gauge the strength of opposition with their lives.
What do you think?
