Chapter 304 - 270: Sword Tomb, Secret Techniques (Combined)
Lin Shiming looked around; though everyone was gazing at the sword shadows in the sky,
he still noticed that their group of ten had the most intense reaction.
However, to his disappointment, he didn’t find any of the Purple Mansion Hermit’s overseers.
Among these eleven people, there were at least two overseers. Chen Daoyuan didn’t need mentioning; that intense gaze earlier was definitely acting, surely he was someone with deep schemes.
Moreover, there was at least one more hidden overseer among them. If someone dared not to enter the competition, a backstab was probably what awaited them!
But as for whether there was just one more or several, and who they might be, he had no way of knowing.
These people all acted too normally.
According to their cultivation techniques, there was no way to tell them apart, as others were all mainly cultivating the Five Elements Sword Art tied to their respective attributes.
Anyone could be possible, yet at the same time, nobody seemed likely!
Since he couldn’t figure it out, Lin Shiming simply stopped guessing and instead focused on the Sword Tomb before him.
Xie An took the initiative to walk over to the two of them, his eyes filled with concern as he looked at Lin Shiming, but they also showed a deep longing as he gazed at the Sword Tomb.
"How has your journey been?" whispered Xie An.
"We encountered a Demon Cultivator and were chased down the whole way!" Lin Shiming shook his head without going into details.
From the look on Xie An’s face, it seemed he hadn’t found the Spirit Pill he needed to breakthrough to the Purple Mansion, and could only pin his hopes on the Sword Tomb. As long as he got a Soul Summoning Sword, the Zi Xuan Hermit would surely guarantee his Purple Mansion.
"This time it’s indeed more dangerous than before," sighed Xie An.
He didn’t elaborate either, but the anger in his eyes was more than evident, suggesting that during this journey, he too had probably encountered Demon Cultivators after treasures.
But in Lin Shiming’s view, the members from the Spirit Beast Sect, Spirit Talisman Sect, and Wanjian Sect were no better than those from the demon sects. In this miniature world, who was hunter and who was prey, only those who survived and made it out would know.
He felt the call!
"Indeed the work of The Great Sects!" exclaimed Lin Shiming, astounded by the terrifying extent of the sect.
These Sword Cultivators really relied on their innate talent for inheritance. Even if a Sword Cultivator was gone, his treasured sword still looked for its next master.
Mediocre talent was unworthy of the legacy!

Even if the treasured sword collected dust!
Of course, Lin Shiming was also aware that such Soul Summoning Swords naturally wouldn’t care much for ordinary cultivators, which was why the Zi Xuan Hermit had chosen the Sword Imbuement Technique.
The Sword Imbuement Technique was about shaping the Spirit Platform into an existence that could nourish Flying Swords, essentially becoming a living sheath.
Then, those Soul Summoning Swords could freely take residence.
Thinking this, Lin Shiming felt a silent pity for Xie An.
Xie An’s feelings weren’t wrong; he would definitely obtain a Soul Summoning Sword, but it was unknown whether he would still be himself by that time.
Of course, his silent pity stopped there. Although Xie An’s relationship with them was extraordinary, in reality, benefits outweighed friendship!
He couldn’t possibly reveal this secret for Xie An’s sake, let alone expose the Cave Heaven World.
Moreover, as one of the Zi Xuan Hermit’s Direct Disciples, there was a chance he was one of those hidden overseers.
"Xie Senior Brother, why aren’t these cultivators climbing up the mountain to take the swords?" Lin Shiming asked with some confusion.
While Chen Daoyuan and the others might be waiting for them, the people from the other Sects, and other factions from the Qingxuan Sect, couldn’t all be indifferent.
And one must know, nearly two hundred people had already gathered behind the Myriad Swords Tomb by now.
