Chapter 307 - 271 Hint and Sword Array (Two-in-one thanks for Ye’s reward)_2
Of course, at this moment he hadn’t let his guard down either, as this so-called Sword Tomb, in his opinion, was definitely not a good place.
Eerie staircase, eerie reflections.
And the terror of the Soul Summoning Sword, coupled with the heritage of the Taibai Sword Sect.
Sure enough, the next moment, from the darkness of Sword Mountain, several Spirit Swords floated out, slashing directly towards him.
These Spirit Swords, each of different shapes, numbered nine in total.
They were also using an unnamed Sword Technique that surprisingly formed a Sword Array.
Lin Shiming hadn’t expected that the moment he arrived, the swords of Sword Mountain would form a Sword Array.
He dared not be careless, as he quickly drew out his Laiyun Sword to strike at these Spirit Swords.
The power of this Sword Array was equivalent to the peak of the middle stage of the Third Rank, which could have suppressed other Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators.
But for Lin Shiming, there were no observers at this moment, no need to hide, making it easy instead.
Under the influence of his Grass Sword Intent, the Nine Spirit Swords were quickly repelled back into the depths of Sword Mountain.
What puzzled him was that Xie An hadn’t mentioned this sort of Spirit Sword challenge; instead, it was supposed to be climbing the Sword Dao staircase to find a sword to one’s liking.
Now it seemed some anomalies had occurred, and things couldn’t be inferred by common sense.
Lin Shiming might be puzzled, but since the system notification hadn’t appeared, he simply continued towards the stairs above.
Lin Shiming stepped onto the second stair!
Around him, Sword Qi began to gather, and sword light emerged!
That piercing Sword Intent pressed against him as if it wanted to tear him apart.
"Interesting!" Lin Shiming hadn’t expected that the Sword Dao staircase would suppress his Grass Sword Intent.
This meant that climbing such a staircase depended on the level of one’s Sword Intent and not purely on strength.
His Grass Sword Intent gradually unfolded, and thanks to the large amount of Mingxin Tea of the Third Rank and his root of extrapolation, he had pushed his Grass Sword Intent to the pinnacle of Sword Light Transformation.
Facing the Sword Intent before him, he didn’t feel much pressure.
On the second stair, no Spirit Swords flew out. Instead, he saw numerous Spirit Swords now skewered into the sides of Sword Mountain, within easy reach.
It seemed these were the Spirit Swords that could be obtained within the Sword Tomb.
After glancing at them and realizing all these Spirit Swords were of Intermediate Grade of the Third Rank, he stopped paying attention and continued upwards on the staircase.
And so, he ascended nine more segments.
The Spirit Swords around him had now become of Superior Grade of the Third Rank.
And the Sword Intent had reached the level of Sword Light Transformation, condensing one Sword Grass after another, similar to the Sword Grass Seeds he had encountered during their formation.
These Sword Grasses applied pressure to him, but they didn’t strike him.
Lin Shiming couldn’t walk leisurely as before.
But when he stepped onto the tenth stair, he saw nine more Spirit Swords flying out from Sword Mountain!
These Spirit Swords had clearly reached the Superior Grade of the Third Rank, and they once again formed a Sword Array!
Moreover, he suddenly found that the Sword Intent around him had increased by a few degrees, and the surrounding Sword Grasses seemed as if they were about to erupt from the ground.
Lin Shiming was thrilled beyond belief; he hadn’t expected the Sword Tomb to hold such benefits.
Of course, at this moment, it was not certain that his Grass Sword Seed would be able to support executing this move.
Lin Shiming shook his head as the visual prompt in his mind continued, but he did not stop.
He wanted to reach the nineteenth layer to see if he could maintain the visual prompts.
As the eleventh layer began, the Sword Intent around him became even more terrifying, demanding his constant use of Sword Intent to defend himself, resulting in an even more rapid consumption of his True Yuan.
Where the two Sword Intents collided, blades of Grass Sword, one after another, were nullified into the invisible, dissipating as specks of Spirit Light.
And from the nearby Sword Mountain, third-rank Supreme Grade Spirit Swords began to emerge.
Lin Shiming’s spirits were immediately lifted; if he continued further, he just might obtain a Magical Treasure!
In the blink of an eye, he reached the nineteenth layer, and the moment he set foot here, the Sword Intent around him surged directly at him.
Lin Shiming had no choice but to take out a Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Formation to defend against the surging Sword Intents around him.
At the same time, he was also amazed to find that at this step, his Sword Intent became a bit stronger once again.
He had made another step closer to condensing it into filaments of Sword Qi.
Indeed, in the sky above were nine third-rank Supreme Grade Flying Swords, forming a new Grass Sword Array!
This sword formation was even more sharp and fierce; the dense sword light, like brilliant stars, was chillingly bright.
Lin Shiming did not dare to delay; he took out nine Supreme Grade Spirit Swords, all gained during this expedition, and he also consumed the first drop of millennial spirit milk.
At this moment, he couldn’t care about the vast True Yuan from the millennial spirit milk.
He must overcome the might of these nine swords.
He raised his hand high, and behind him, nine Supreme Grade Spirit Swords rose up like blades of grass, their tips pointing to the sky.
The next moment, the dense sword light merged into one, forming a larger Grass Sword that shot toward the nine Supreme Grade Spirit Swords coming from Sword Mountain.
Boom!
An even more intense explosion sounded.
Lin Shiming didn’t know how many times his True Yuan had been depleted, dried up, then refilled by the millennial spirit milk, and then dried up and refilled again.
His concentration peaked, and his understanding of the sword array deepened.
The next moment, with a loud bang, little green stars sprinkled down.
The sword light vanished into nothingness, and the nine Supreme Grade Spirit Swords returned to Sword Mountain.
And as the green starlight fell, sprinkling into Lin Shiming’s body, he suddenly found that his spent Grass Sword Seed, which he couldn’t recover, was slowly beginning to revive.
This green Spirit Light, much like the millennial spirit milk’s nourishment of True Yuan, was restoring the mystical power of his Grass Sword Seed.
Moreover, the prompt in his mind also changed once again.
At this moment, the single preserved sword became the same sword as before.
Lin Shiming couldn’t contain his joy, staying on the step, continuously contemplating.
And what he didn’t know was that high above the Sword Mountain,
a withered yellow blade of grass was looking this way.
