Chapter 398 - 311: The Mystery of the Carved Sword Stone and Wang Jiao’s Injury (Two-in-one thanks to Ningjingfangnengzhiyuan’s reward)
"Old Seven, the Flame Crystal you gave me has already been of great help!" Lin Shijie called out from a distance.
The Scripture of the Five Flames, the Fourth Rank Spiritual Tea, and the Flame Crystal were all given by Lin Shiming, yet his help to Lin Shiming had not been substantial in return.
Lin Shiming did not continue to argue; his eldest brother had always been stubborn.
But little did he know that his increased strength was beneficial to the Lin Family.
And as the Lin Family grew stronger, it, in turn, helped him grow.
The path of immortal cultivation is exceedingly long, and cultivators struggle their entire lives to achieve perfect goodness. Those with more Tao receive more help, while those with less receive less. He glanced over at Lin Houyuan and Lin Houwei.
"Father, Second Uncle, please come along too!"
Having said this, Lin Shiming continued towards the summit of the Sacred Mountain.
The Sacred Mountain of Shuangmu Island was vast, and after upgrading the Spirit Vein, the Lin Family members found the whole mountain had become taller and wider.
The once sparse and ordinary vegetation had long been covered by numerous large trees and plants.
Among them were even some First and Second Rank Spiritual Medicines.@@@@
These were naturally of little use to the cultivators of the Lin Family on Shuangmu Island, but they still represented a significant gain for the whole family.
Furthermore, during these two years, the Lin Family had also established two Spiritual Medicine Gardens on Shuangmu Island, cultivating precious Second and Third Rank Spiritual Medicines like the God-Nurturing Flower. Of course, had it not been necessary to supply the Third Rank Water Spirit Coconut trees, the Lin Family would have opened even more Spiritual Medicine Gardens and Spirit Fields.
About a kilometer from the peak, Lin Shiming also stopped. This place was a rocky area with scarce vegetation, originally the location of a Primordial Magnet Stone vein. Even though the Primordial Magnet Stone had been mined out, it still had an effect.
Lin Shijie and others looked on curiously as they approached, only to see Lin Shiming take out countless Array Plates, starting to lay out a Formation.
This piqued their curiosity even further.
In the past two years, the Island Protecting Great Array of Shuangmu Island had regained its former glory.
Lin Shiming’s carefulness signified that the treasure he was dealing with was even more incredible.
However, the next moment, Lin Shiming formed a Spirit Art with his hands, and nine steps flew out, landing in front of the group.
Of course, the most noteworthy aspect for him was that Lin Shijie had moved. He took steps forward one by one.
His steps were slow, and the Sword Intent around him intensified, becoming denser and more solid.
Lin Shiming stepped aside, also moving to the front of Lin Houyuan and the others.
He took a deep breath:
"Father, Second Uncle, let’s step back a bit more. Eldest Brother must have entered into Dao Enlightenment!"
Lin Shiming had experienced Dao Enlightenment before, whether at the Enlightenment Stage, through his deductive capabilities, or hints from the system, which were all similar, so he was extremely familiar with this sensation!
However, he had never considered that such an opportunity would be contained within the Carved Sword Stones.
The system hint had only told him to remove the Carved Sword Stones, without elaborating on the opportunity within. Looking back, Lin Shiming wished he could return to the Taibai Sword Palace to dig up a hundred more!
Lin Houyuan and the other three nodded, their eyes filled with amazement and a bit of fear of disturbing Lin Shijie.
As the four of them were astonished, Lin Shijie was stepping onto the stairway of Carved Sword Stones under the Sword Intent.
Before him, there were no more stairs or rocks, but he saw a Sword Cultivator walking on a volcano.
It was just too far away, and he could not see clearly.
Therefore, he walked forward, wanting to get a closer look. The scorching molten lava seemed ready to evaporate the entire world, numerous fiery red bubbles surged up, exploded, and then generated a terrifying heat wave, causing his body to involuntarily lean back.
Finally, he could see clearly. The Sword Cultivator was hammering and forging, honing a Spirit Sword, with thousands of strikes, sparks flying everywhere.
From time to time, he poured a ladle of magma onto the sword.
While it hissed and steamed, no Spirit Patterns were ever etched onto it—this was clearly a plain iron sword, not a Magic Artifact or a Magical Treasure!
And the sword hadn’t even been sharpened yet!
But around the Sword Cultivator, fiery red swords were slowly condensing into shape.
Sword Light Transformation!
