NOVEL NEXT Chapter 778: Great Harvest
Shuangmu Island, within the Cave Heaven, countless Spiritual Energy gathered around Lin Shiming.
It sparked a brilliant Spirit Light.
Only after a long time did it dissipate.
"This Spirit Vein is becoming more and more insufficient!" Lin Shiming opened his eyes, full of helplessness.
After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, even the Supreme Grade Fifth Rank Spirit Vein in the Cave Heaven is not enough.
However, given the enormous loss suffered by the Sea Demon King's Court this time, Lin Shiming believed there was still a good chance to acquire a Spirit Vein.
After all, the Sea Demon King's Court previously occupied quite a few Fifth Rank Spirit Veins.
This time, with the Sea Demon King's Court routed, leaving only the Golden Flood Dragon, it would likely hide far away, and Lin Shiming would not miss this opportunity.
Hence, after restoring his True Yuan, he stood up.
Opposite him, within the Flood Dragon Nest, Wang Jiao was still undergoing a breakthrough.
He had ingested a Sixth Rank Flood Dragon Core and was also breaking through.
Regrettably, Lin Shiming didn't have time to wait.
He could feel the barrier of this world becoming increasingly thin.
If he continued cultivating in isolation without seizing the opportunity, a Late Nascent Soul or even Divinity Transformation cultivator might emerge, leaving him helpless.
And then, he would be robbed of his Spiritual Treasure, ending everything in vain.
The only thing he could do now was to go to the Myriad Swords Divine Mountain and bring back the Taiyi Grass Sword from there.
However, before that, Lin Shiming still needed to collect as many Spirit Veins and Spiritual Fire as possible.
To enhance the power of the Spirit Treasure Fire Sealing List.
The reason he took the risk of acquiring the Spirit Treasure was his belief that the Fire Sealing List could aid the Myriad Swords Divine Mountain.
Additionally, he was concerned that as the barrier grew thinner, more and more Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation cultivators would appear.
Like the Taigian Shark Tribe this time, he estimated that it wouldn't take long for a Divinity Transformation to appear.
And in the Eastern Realm Chu State, the Ancient Demon Race might also send cultivators.
This was what Lin Shiming truly worried about.
So instead of waiting passively, it was better to take the initiative to hold the Spiritual Treasure, as at least he would have system prompts to counter some situations.
"Keep monitoring Wang Jiao's growth!" Lin Shiming instructed the Tea Tree Wood Demon before leaving the Cave Heaven.
He appeared at the top of Thousand Wood Peak.
When Lin Shiming emerged at the top of Thousand Wood Peak, the Lin Family's Golden Core cultivators were already gathered.
Lin Shijie and Lin Xianzhi were evidently waiting for Lin Shiming.
"Shiming, this time, the family has secured twelve Fifth Rank Flood Dragon corpses, thirteen Demon King corpses, and twenty-one Fourth Rank Flood Dragon corpses, as well as live-catching five Fourth Rank Flood Dragons, all bound by the Soul Binding Forbidden!" Lin Shijie spoke first.
This time, the Lin Family's harvest was undoubtedly enormous.
And this doesn't even count the ordinary Demonic Beasts and materials.
"Elder Brother, Seventh Uncle-Grandfather, quickly perform the Bloodline Reversion Secret Technique on the Fifth Rank and Fourth Rank Flood Dragons to boost the family's strength!"
Lin Shiming spoke directly.
"I've slain a total of eight Sixth Rank Flood Dragon Demon Emperors, and I plan to use three to construct a Flood Dragon Nest, leaving the other five bodies for the family's Flood Dragons to breakthrough and for emergencies!" Lin Shiming added, looking at Lin Shijie, whose Golden Flood Dragon had the most potential apart from Wang Jiao.
Upon hearing this, Lin Shijie and others were overjoyed.
They thought five or six would be the limit, but unexpectedly, the family had slain a total of eight.
Bear in mind that although many Flood Dragons were killed, quite a few were slain by the Southern Immortals Alliance Nascent Souls.
"Shiming, it seems necessary for the Southern Immortals Alliance to convene a meeting again!" Unlike Lin Shijie, who was focused on the gains, Lin Xianzhi was more concerned.
There are many foreign cultivators, and should a Late Nascent Soul appear, the Lin Family would face a tough challenge.
"Mm, mm, hold the Nascent Soul Ceremony ten years from now, but let's host another Nascent Soul meeting in a year. For now, we need to seize the Spirit Veins; I estimate many from the Southern Immortals Alliance are already vying for them!" Lin Shiming nodded, as Lin Xianzhi, being the family patriarch, had indeed considered more comprehensively.
But for now, it was the prime time for the Lin Family to seize opportunities.
"Seventh Uncle-Grandfather, also have the clan members stay on Shuangmu Island for the time being and avoid going out!" Lin Shiming instructed before departing.
At this moment, he was worried about cultivators targeting other Lin Family members.
The Lin Family's greatest strength relied on him and the three Soul Summoning Swords.
After giving the orders, Lin Shiming headed towards the Northern Sword Pavilion.
Within the Northern Sword Pavilion, the Leiming Sword and Flying Shackles Sword Minglun Sword were both close to breaking through.
Lin Shiming directly drew out three Sixth Rank Nascent Soul corpses.
The Nascent Souls of these Sixth Rank Flood Dragons had been slain, leaving the refined Spiritual Power essence within the Sixth Rank Flood Dragon bodies.
This could also boost the cultivation speed of the three great Soul Summoning Swords.
Especially the Leiming Sword, which was already progressing quickly.
"Senior Lin, thank you!" The Leiming Sword and Flying Shackles Sword were not as eloquent as the Flaming Sword and Ying Fengjian, offering only a simple word of thanks.
But their determined expressions made it clear that they would someday brave any danger for the Lin Family.
"Senior Flame Yang, Senior Qiu Xue, Senior Ying Feng, in a few days, I'll return to the Taibai Sword Palace Minor World to assist Senior Taiyi. Before that, I need to seize some Spirit Veins to properly settle the Myriad Swords Divine Mountain!" Lin Shiming spoke directly.
"Need our help? I'm good at seizing Spirit Veins!" The Flaming Sword offered.
It too manifested as an elderly figure now, albeit as a red-haired elder.
"Senior Flame Yang, I'll manage this alone; with the Spirit Treasure, there's hardly any chance of mishap!" Lin Shiming confidently replied.
"But I'll be troubling you three seniors to guard Shuangmu Island!" Lin Shiming said with a wry smile.
"No need to call us seniors; you're Sixth Rank now too!" Qiu Xue Sword chipped in.
"Leave it to us, we shall ensure Shuangmu Island's safety, and if any harm comes, we'll be the first to fall!" Qiu Xue Sword's words remained simple and unwavering.
Beside it, the Ying Feng Sword and the Flaming Sword nodded in agreement.
Reassured, Lin Shiming then took out the Spirit Boat and headed towards the Outer Sea.
During his flight, he unleashed his Divine Sense to the fullest. Compared to before, his Divine Sense had significantly improved.
Currently, it could extend to Jiuyue Island.
His speed had also greatly increased, traveling to Jiuyue Island in less than half an hour.
Outside Jiuyue Island, numerous factions had established sub-islands.
But to Lin Shiming's surprise, all these sub-islands had activated their formations, yet no one ventured out to search for treasures or explore the islands.
It was apparent they were waiting for the Lin Family's initial search.
This left Lin Shiming slightly stunned, diverging from his expectations.
He could only attribute it to his own increasing prowess.
These factions, although being part of the Southern Immortals Alliance, likely wanted to foster a favorable relationship with the Lin Family at this point.
Lin Shiming speculated that if the Southern Immortals held a conference a year later, he might become the Alliance Hierarch.
This thought made him smile.
Such an outcome would be welcomed, as rallying the strength of the Southern Sea would be entirely beneficial, and upon refining the Spirit Treasure Heaven-Earth-Man Three Gates, he too could traverse across worlds...
