205: Get another spot

The change in the scene was not limited to the great victory of the Purple Mansion Cultivators and Golden Core Cultivators.

The demonic mist, which had gathered around, had not yet attacked the city walls when the entire Nine Leaf Mountain's city-protecting grand array immediately activated.

A colossal Spirit Light not only enveloped Nine Leaf City but also formed a terrifying Ten Directions Heavenly Thunder Array.

The entire sky was instantly covered by dark clouds, with countless bolts of lightning flashing within, emitting a dull, rumbling roar.

Bolt after bolt of lightning struck down, first bombarding the towering Heavenly Demon Banners.

With each lightning strike, a Heavenly Demon Banner exploded, with only a few Heavenly Demon Banner Magic Treasures surviving.

In the sky, a flute sound suddenly began to resonate, and it was extremely melodious.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a female Purple Mansion Cultivator in a green dress, holding a jade flute, slowly playing.

The flute sound had no attacking power, yet countless roars of Spirit Beasts came like a mountain collapse and a tsunami. From Nine Leaf Mountain, countless Spirit Beasts began to appear, as if there was a huge opening on the mountain, and the Spirit Beasts poured out, rushing towards outside the city.

The demonic mist was dispersed by the heavenly thunder, the Heavenly Demon Banners were destroyed one by one, and a large number of Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation demonic Cultivators, who had not yet managed to break through the city walls and enjoy a new round of battle results, were killed in large numbers by Spirit Beasts and lightning.

The Cultivators of the Three Sects who were originally guarding the city walls also rushed out of the city to attack.

This time, it would be a great victory.

"Seventh Grand Uncle, Senior Brother, let's go too!" Lin Shiming looked at the decline of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refinement Sect outside the city walls and immediately had an idea.

The demonic Cultivators at this time were not the terrifying Cultivators from before, but rather human-shaped Storage Pouches.

The three of them nodded in unison and headed outside the city.

At this moment, Lin Shiming was not worried about any Purple Mansion Cultivators or Foundation Establishment Perfection demonic Cultivators launching a sneak attack from the shadows, because those powerful demonic Cultivators had no concept of covering the rear and had long since vanished without a trace.

On the entire battlefield, only streaks of blood mist and escape lights appeared. At this moment, blood escape was the fastest, followed by various Five Elements escape techniques and escape talismans.

And Cultivators who had no escape techniques or whose techniques were interrupted could only die on the spot under the attack of the three.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators died one after another under their pursuit.

This great battle lasted for a full day.

During the pursuit, Lin Shiming killed a total of ten demonic Foundation Establishment Cultivators, including three Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators and seven Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators. He gained a lot; although he didn't get any powerful Magical Artifacts, he acquired quite a few Low Grade and Medium Grade third-tier Magical Artifacts, and also a good amount of Spirit Stones.

Lin Xianzhi and Xie An also had their own gains.

And when the Purple Mansion Cultivators of the Three Sects returned, they further informed everyone that this time, two Golden Core True Persons were killed, one from the Corpse Refinement Sect and one from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

The great victory of the Three Sects also made the entire Nine Leaf City cheer...

In Laiyue Restaurant, the antique wooden window was open, and Lin Shiming looked out through the window at the entire Nine Leaf City.

After the Ten Directions Heavenly Thunder Array, there was a continuous rainy season, which not only washed away the bloodstains left by the battle but also made the entire Nine Leaf City look brand new again, with lush greenery everywhere, a sight that refreshed the heart and mind.

Looking towards Nine Leaf Mountain again, the huge White Cedar Spirit Tree still emitted Spirit Light as before, and the nine Enlightenment Platforms were faintly visible.

Lin Shiming recalled the matter of the Enlightenment Platform and felt a bit lucky that he hadn't defeated Chen Yun that day; otherwise, he didn't believe he would have been among the two remaining Enlightenment seeds.

The layout of this battle was known only to Golden Core True Persons; even Purple Mansion Daoists were kept completely in the dark.

Of course, only he knew about his defeat this time. Even Xie An and Lin Xianzhi thought his true Qi was genuinely exhausted and he was no match for Chen Yuan.

Moreover, Lin Shiming also recalled Qianmo Sanren's words that day, as well as the White Cedar Spirit Tree's final display of Divine Might. He feared that the Spirit Tree indeed had the ability to absorb the Dao; otherwise, the Spirit Beast Sect would not have allowed Cultivators from the other two Sects, or even Foundation Establishment Families, to participate, but rather would have kept it hidden.

However, since this matter came from the mouth of a demonic Cultivator, everyone still held a skeptical attitude. As for verifying it, apart from Qingxuan Sect's Immortal Master Divine Machine and Immortal Master Tianjian, plus Spirit Talisman Sect's Immortal Master Tianfu, no one else was qualified to verify it.

That White Cedar Spirit Tree was Real Person White Fir's precious tree.

Lin Shiming shook his head, no longer thinking about the White Cedar Spirit Tree, but he did miss Fangmu Mountain a little.

"The peach blossoms on the mountain must be blooming again now!" Lin Shiming murmured softly.

Currently, the joining of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect also announced the participation of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect of Qi Country. The battle between Zhao Country and Chu Country's Heavenly Demon Sect, and Yan Country's Corpse Refinement Sect, was also a foregone conclusion.

Basically, there would be no other suspense, and their return date could also be roughly predicted.

He left the mountain at thirty-five, and now he was forty-two. In the blink of an eye, seven more years had passed.

"Shiming, come for a meeting!" With a sound transmission, Lin Shiming closed the window and went to Lin Xianzhi's room next door.

Lin Houyuan was also present at this moment, and the expressions on both their faces were extremely relaxed.

"Shiming, the great war is over! Several Golden Core True Persons have negotiated peace!" Lin Xianzhi said joyfully.

Although Lin Shiming had anticipated the war would end, he hadn't expected it to end so quickly.

"The Spirit Beast Sect has ceded half of Tianhe Province, and the Spirit Talisman Sect has ceded half of You Province!" Lin Xianzhi continued.

Hearing this, Lin Shiming understood. The Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refinement Sect had allied. These two Sects each had ten Golden Core Cultivators. Although one had been killed, they were still a force that could not be underestimated.

This time, it was clearly the appearance of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and at the same time, Immortal Master Divine Machine had a Breakthrough and became the only Golden Core Great Perfection Cultivator among the Three Sects. Coupled with the shenji pagoda, he could even kill ordinary Golden Core Cultivators.

"Additionally, Shiming, the Enlightenment Grand Assembly will continue. Because too many Enlightenment seeds have died, you and Ye Changyuan have both been selected!" Lin Xianzhi's next words truly shocked Lin Shiming.

He hadn't expected that he would still have a spot for enlightenment.

However, Lin Shiming's expression was not particularly happy.

Seeing this, Lin Xianzhi smiled lightly and added:

"Shiming, don't be fooled by Qianmo Sanren. This time, Immortal Master Divine Machine personally stated that the White Cedar Spirit Tree only has the spiritual power to comprehend the Dao, but not the ability to absorb the Dao. While Cultivators comprehend, they will also leave a portion for the Spirit Tree, thereby making the Enlightenment Platforms larger and more numerous!"

Lin Shiming's brows finally relaxed. Immortal Master Divine Machine was not from the Spirit Beast Sect, so he naturally wouldn't deceive them.

"Shiming, the enlightenment will begin in a month. Ten days from now, there will be a large-scale Auction, only Foundation Establishment Cultivators can participate at the minimum. By then, even Purple Mansion Jade Liquid will be up for Auction!" While Lin Shiming was still in shock, he heard Lin Houyuan speak excitedly.

Such a large-scale Auction, even if one couldn't bid for Purple Mansion Jade Liquid to achieve a Breakthrough to Purple Mansion, it was still a rare opportunity to witness other treasures.
