Chapter 417: Leaving the Pass, The Situation (Two in One, Thanks for the 1000 Reward from Me and the Solitary Cormorant Flying Together)
Above the Spirit Lake, a figure sat upon the lake.
The next moment, only the resonant sound of a sword's cry could be heard.
A streak of sword light soared into the air, carrying a vast sword aura, fierce in sword intent, rampant, as if carrying the force of ten thousand jun.
Following a grand beckoning of the hand, the sword swiftly flew back, landing within grasp.
Lin Shiming also took a long breath, his face filled with smiles.
Gently caressing the Taihe Sword in his hand, it was the last Supreme Grade magical treasure he had refined.
Now, he had completely assimilated the harvest from the Purple Sun Secret Realm.
In the beginning, relying on the Flame Yang Sword, he had obtained many Fourth Rank Supreme Grade magical treasures.
Among them were the Purple Mist Twin Swords, Taihe Sword, and the Five Metallic Beast Roaring Rings, and three Demon Blood Needles, though at that time he couldn't use any of them.
But after breaking through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion, the Hidden Sky Net now seemed somewhat insufficient for him, and the Demon Blood Needles happened to make up for it.
Besides that, he also had Supreme Grade magical treasures like the Buddha Ruler and the Hundred Buddha Scroll, but they were Buddha Cultivator's items, and he couldn't activate them.
The Supreme Grade magical treasure, the Heavenly Whale Spear, he did conveniently take out and hand over to the watching Wang Jiao.
Although it was at the middle stage of Fourth Rank, its True Yuan was exceptionally profound, so it should be capable of wielding it.
Moreover, it only needed to activate one of them now.
In a critical moment, it might have a remarkable effect.
Wang Jiao was also deeply enamored with the Heavenly Whale Spear; after all, the Red-haired Demon Monkey had a Superior Grade Magical Treasure, the Heavenly Demon Rod, and it had long desired one as well.
After receiving the Heavenly Whale Spear, it immediately swallowed it into its belly to slowly refine, and even excitedly rolled in the air.
Then it opened its mouth wide, swallowed a lot of the Flood Dragon energies, and let out three roars in succession.
"Thank you, master!"
The Five-colored Python coiled nearby was full of envy.
But upon glancing over, Wang Jiao also glared fiercely back:
"Roar, you motley serpent, even if I gave it to you, you couldn't use it!"
"Wang Jiao, no rudeness!"
Lin Shiming's face darkened, and Wang Jiao turned its head away, no longer mocking.
At this moment of leisure, Lin Shiming also looked towards the Five-colored Python. It took him four years for Body Refinement breakthrough and another four years for Qi Cultivation breakthrough.
Eight years had passed, and the Five-colored Python had grown significantly larger, the bulge on its snake head became stouter, and some five-colored divine light could even be seen brewing on it.
Moreover, the Cultivation Level of the Five-colored Python had reached the peak of Third Rank Middle Stage.
Using the Bloodline Reversion Secret Technique, it could make the Five-colored Python just like Wang Jiao, entering the peak of Third Rank.
Transforming into a true half-Flood Dragon state, another period of refinement and the breakthrough to the Fourth Rank Flood Dragon should be almost certain.
Lin Shiming had made up his mind and was extremely content with the Flood Dragon Nest.
According to this pattern, the Lin Family's number of Flood Dragons will continue to grow.
After all, he was different from Nine Dragon Island and the Flood Dragon Clan; the Lin Family also had the Bloodline Reversion Secret Technique.
Even if a part of them failed, the rest would be extremely impressive.
Lin Shiming then looked towards Lei Tong, who at this moment had taken on the appearance of a young boy, even somewhat resembling Lin Shiming's own youth, except for a golden bamboo leaf spirit seal on his forehead.
Appearing exceptionally spirited.
"Master!" Elder Mu and Lei Tong called out in respectful voices together.
"Reporting to master, Lei Tong now possesses the Spirit Intelligence of an adult cultivator and has mastered the cultivation of the Demon Codex. Today, it can contend against a Great Demon of Purple Mansion Middle Stage, as long as it has enough Jin Lei," Elder Mu introduced.
Lin Shiming was astonished and even a bit incredulous, knowing that Lei Tong had transformed from bamboo into a wood demon in just over a decade.
And yet it already possessed the power of Purple Mansion Middle Stage.
"Release some Jin Lei for me to see!" Lin Shiming now was somewhat disbelieving.
He took out a Cold Dusk Shield and placed it in mid-air.
Lei Tong also immediately understood and began to radiate a golden light on his forehead, while his hands revealed two chrysanthemum dishes with leaping electrical arcs.
The next moment, countless Chrysanthemum Jin Lei shot out and struck the Cold Dusk Shield.
Crack, crack, crack!
The terrifying sound of tearing was incessant.
After hundreds of Chrysanthemum Jin Lei struck, the Cold Dusk Shield had transformed, pockmarked and scorched black, its spirit light greatly diminished.
One could see that without a ritual refinement, it might become unusable.
"To master, Lei Tong's original form is of a thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo, as long as it can control all the Jin Lei within its body, it can reach the strength of Fourth Rank!" Lei Tong explained to Lin Shiming, who looked delighted.
For a wood demon, the Demon Codex simply teaches it how to utilize its power, not create the power, as its body had long stored a massive amount of demonic energy.
Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming was extremely satisfied, and his mind wondered if using the Revival Wind on the Golden Thunder Bamboo could speed up the strengthening of its abilities.
However, the thought of the duration of the Revival Wind made him chuckle and shake his head.
He then looked towards Elder Mu. Elder Mu had also cultivated the Demon Codex.
At this time, Elder Mu seemed somewhat embarrassed and shook his head; his own body was only at the peak of Third Rank, not even possessing the strength of the Purple Mansion Stage.
He was even more reluctant to demonstrate, especially with Lei Tong's impressive display preceding him.
Seeing this, Lin Shiming did not pursue the matter further. He hadn't held much expectation for Elder Mu's combat strength.
After observing within the Purple Sun Tower for a while, he exited the Cave Heaven.
Having secluded himself for eight years, he was not yet aware of the situation outside.
Nevertheless, it should not be too bad. The Red-haired Demon Monkey and Golden Winged Mantis were outside; if there had been any emergencies, the two beasts would have reported to him.
Especially the Red-haired Demon Monkey, with the Soul Binding Forbidden, could let him sense it through the Divine Soul.
Even though it would not be very precise, there would still be a sign.
As he exited the cave dwelling, Lin Shiming saw that there was a large number of Jade Slips placed there.
Within the Jade Slips was information about the major events of the family in recent years, including the situation of Jiuyue Island and even the entire Coral Sea Domain.
