Chapter 525: Spirit Sword Choice, Farewell Heavenly Sword (Two-in-One, Seeking Monthly Pass and Subscription)_2
Naturally not enough!
He agreed to Ye Buhui's ten-day period, which just so happened to be his plan for a ten-day hunting expedition here.
Ten days were neither too long nor too short.
Of course, his confidence stemmed from the system prompt, as well as his own considerable strength. Even if confronted by powerful dark Sword Puppets, he could seek help from the five Soul Summoning Swords in critical moments.
When the next day arrived and the system prompt refreshed, Lin Shiming again turned into a cultivator who had unknowingly entered, aimlessly wandering in the black mist, as if searching for Myriad Swords Divine Mountain.
However, Sword Puppets appeared one after another. To Lin Shiming's amusement, these Sword Puppets liked to masquerade as Taiyi Grass Swords, though their power fell far short.
With the help of the library, Star Pearl, and Sword Source, he was invincible.
He consecutively slaughtered three dark Sword Puppets.
There was no need for the Soul Summoning Swords from within the Cave Heaven to take action.
Five days had passed, and Lin Shiming now had four Soul Summoning Swords that could aid a breakthrough.
Furthermore, because of the Soul Fusion Secret Tome, his Divine Sense had also greatly increased.
On the sixth day, Lin Shiming was still wandering as usual when the system prompt refreshed.
However, at that moment, the system prompt sounded:
[Attention, three dark Sword Puppets are approaching, including a Sixth Rank dark Sword Puppet!]
Upon receiving the prompt, Lin Shiming pushed his Sword Source to its limit and rushed out of the black mist.
His speed was extremely fast, constantly using the Leaping Void Disk to blink through the black mist.
Now, after breaking through to Golden Core Body Cultivation, he could perform dozens of consecutive Leaping Voids. Now, the limit to the distance of his Leaping Voids was not Lin Shiming's body but the Leaping Void Disk itself which could not support it.
After all, it was only a Fourth Rank magical treasure.
Lin Shiming's continuous leaping drew attention; pursuers were quickly on his tail.
The terrifying black mist began to shift too, controlled by the Sixth Rank Sword Puppet, heading straight for Lin Shiming.
This caused Lin Shiming to turn pale.
He quickly took out the Blood Demon Disk and released Demon God Chains and three Demon Weapons towards the back.
The second layer of Demon Weapon could now wield four swords, buying him enough time to finally escape the black mist and breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing the mountains and rivers outside.
In his heart, he grew more wary of the Dark Spirit Clan.
Naturally, there was also a hint of regret.
Lin Shiming took out the four Soul Summoning Swords, looked at them for a moment, then once again stored them away and casually found a mountain peak to wait.
His Divine Sense kept watch around the black mist, curious about the spread rate of the black mist during the remaining four days.
However, while observing, Lin Shiming abruptly thought of the Taiqian Abyss.
The Taiqian Abyss contained a white mist, which he hadn't previously considered, but now, this white mist and the black mist were clearly similar domains.
At that moment, Lin Shiming was stunned by his own thought.
If the Taiqian Abyss was also inhabited by beings similar to the Dark Spirit Clan, lurking in the Southern Sea for some purpose, then could the Chi Lan Sect withstand it when the Taiqian Abyss erupted?
Lin Shiming dared not ponder further, but judging from the display of Tai Qian Shark skins, the Tai Qian Shark Tribe might also be a great clan from the Spirit Realm, a branch in the lower realm.
No one had thoroughly investigated the Taiqian Abyss, indicating great horror within it!
The only good news was that, currently, the Tai Qian Shark Tribe seemed unlikely to erupt.
Lin Shiming was inwardly cautious.
He continued to observe the black mist, and luckily, during his observations over four days, the spread of the black mist was very slow.
This was perhaps the best news among all the information.
At least, it would not erode this minor world in the next few centuries.
On the tenth day, Lin Shiming opened his eyes, and the sun of the small world rose just like in the outside world.
Dazzling purple qi slowly shone from the east.
In the purple light, several rainbows of light came from afar, swiftly landing in front of Lin Shiming.
The leading cultivator wore the loose Heavenly Sword Peak Dao robe, with a giant Spirit Sword engraved on it.
Lin Shiming was no stranger to this attire; the Qingxuan Sect's Heavenly Sword attire also featured small swords engraved on it.
A single small sword represented an outer disciple of Heavenly Sword Peak, two small swords denoted an inner disciple, numerous small swords indicated an elder.
And a large sword represented the status of an ancestor of Heavenly Sword Peak.
Heavenly Sword Peak also has only two people who can wear this robe.
And the person before me, with star-like eyes and sword-shaped brows, is clearly an avatar of True Person Heavenly Sword.
Previously, Ye Buhui, who spoke with Lin Shiming, now follows behind, bearing the demeanor of a disciple.
"Master Heavenly Sword, long time no see!" Lin Shiming was the first to speak.
"Daoist Lin, no need for such formalities. Now that we are fellows of the same path, it is appropriate to address each other as Daoist. Of course, if you don't mind the past actions of Qingxuan Sect, you may also call me Elder Brother Heavenly Sword!" The avatar of True Person Heavenly Sword shook his head slightly, gazing intently into Lin Shiming's eyes.
He wanted to know what Lin Shiming's attitude was.
However, he was destined to be disappointed!
Lin Shiming did not want to talk about emotions; he only wanted to discuss benefits.
Cooperating with the Qingxuan Sect was also because he was grateful for the actions of True Person Heavenly Sword years ago.
But that was all.
"Daoist Lin, the Heavenly Demon Sect has recently fallen on hard times, and our Qingxuan Sect has three Golden Core Cultivators who want to test the depths of the Heavenly Demon Sect. How do you view this, Daoist Lin?"
"The Lin Family needs the method to refine the War Treasure Ship. If you have it, the Lin Family will also be demon hunters; if not, the Lin Family will be nothing more than cultivators from the Southern Sea!"
Lin Shiming was quite blunt in his words.
As for minor worlds and secret realms, he had little interest.
After all, the Lin Family currently owns three or four Profound Grade Secret Realms; and as for minor worlds, he could visit anytime and take treasures that the Qingxuan Sect can't obtain at his leisure.
The only thing he valued was the method to refine the War Treasure Ship.
"I can only provide the Fourth Rank!" True Person Heavenly Sword spoke.
But Lin Shiming shook his head.
"Would Daoist Flaming Sword make a move?" True Person Heavenly Sword asked again.
This time, Lin Shiming nodded his head.
"Then, Qingxuan Sect can provide a Fifth Rank intermediate method to refine the War Treasure Ship, and even gift a Fourth Rank Supreme War Treasure Ship!"
"Having such a Supreme War Treasure Ship would greatly facilitate the Lin Family's future, whether it's taking over Chu Country of the Heavenly Demon Sect or establishing a footing in the Southern Sea!
"But the Qingxuan Sect has one condition, the previous issue of naming a junior disciple, Brother Shen Ji who has now passed away, and now there is no Shen Ji Peak in Qingxuan Sect. Can the Lin Family and Qingxuan Sect's grudges be wiped clean?" True Person Heavenly Sword spoke.
There was also a sense of helplessness in his tone.
Compared to joining forces to destroy the Heavenly Demon Sect, what he and True Person Profound Sword worried more about was actually the Lin Family.
This time, they say it's a union, but clearing the grudges is more crucial to the Qingxuan Sect.
Lin Shiming is too terrifying, much more than True Person Shen Ji.
And True Person Shen Ji had controlled the Qingxuan Sect and even half of Zhao Kingdom's discourse power for a full six hundred years!
Lin Shiming's future is even more fearsome!
"Yes!" Lin Shiming nodded his head. His dislike for the Qingxuan Sect stemmed from True Person Shen Ji, whose controlling behavior and desperate measures to break through he extremely disliked, even hated.
With no more Shen Ji Peak in Qingxuan Sect, this also signifies a complete fade of the Shen Ji lineage.
Conversely, his feelings towards Heavenly Sword Peak were indescribably complex.
This feeling came both from himself and Lin Xianzhi.
Wiping the slate clean also meant the Lin Family truly owed nothing to Qingxuan Sect or True Person Heavenly Sword anymore.
Of course, if Qingxuan Sect again shows hostility towards the Lin Family in the future, Lin Shiming won't mind continuing to correct Qingxuan Sect.
Now he has the confidence, and in the future, he will have the power!
Seeing this, the avatar of True Person Heavenly Sword also took out a Storage Bag, but did not throw it, instead letting Lin Shiming check it.
He knew Lin Shiming's Divine Sense could see clearly.
He was also waiting for Lin Shiming to swear.
But Lin Shiming did not vow, just kept looking.
He is already at the Early Stage of Golden Core; he doesn't need to make vows.
His words, naturally, would not be broken.
"It seems I was overly concerned. With Daoist Lin's righteousness, naturally, you wouldn't act in bad faith!" True Person Heavenly Sword threw the Storage Bag directly toward Lin Shiming, his face showing helplessness.
Lin Shiming also caught the Storage Bag.
"When do we make our move?" Lin Shiming asked.
