287: Transmission, epilogue (two-in-one)

In the valley and by the small lake, deafening sonic booms exploded above the Nine Heavens.

Countless brilliant Spirit Light fell, like one Spirit Light meteor after another.

The residual Sword Qi cut through mountains and rivers, and the spreading Spirit Light stirred up thousands of waves on the lake.

The sky was changing, and the Void Realm was breaking apart.

The might of an Immortal Master was like a heavenly punishment, intimidating even from such a distance!

Lin Shiming had never imagined that even in such a situation, the Cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect and Ten Thousand Swords Sect would still try to seize the Spirit Communication Sword.

One must know that the Immortal Master battle was not over. Once it ended, accountability would follow.

At that point, the current struggle would be meaningless.

It would only needlessly increase casualties.

But this was clearly not something he could decide.

Those Devil Head Cultivators and the Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, who prided themselves as the orthodox Dao of the Sword, clearly had no such concerns.

They were all driving Flying Swords and controlling Devil Heads and refined corpses, encircling them.

For them, seizing the Spirit Communication Sword before the Qingxuan Sect's reinforcements arrived was the absolute truth!

Lin Shiming also held his Zilai Sword, while simultaneously injecting Spirit Qi into the Poison Flood Dragon Vine seeds.

He looked at Daoist Qingzhu, and at the same time, at Xie An.

Xie An clenched his fists, clearly ready for a major battle.

Daoist Qingzhu, on the other hand, remained extremely calm.

It was as if he wasn't afraid of being surrounded by the Heavenly Demon Sect, Corpse Refinement Sect, and Ten Thousand Swords Sect Cultivators at this moment.

One must know that the strength of the Three Sects at this moment was not to be underestimated, and the Qingxuan Sect truly didn't have much powerful combat strength.

However, in the next moment, Lin Shiming discovered that waves of Spirit Light began to appear in the Void Realm.

Those spirit platforms lit up one by one in a strange manner, which was very similar to how they entered the Secret Realm before!

It was as if the Teleportation Array was about to activate again.

They were about to enter the Secret Realm again!

However, this time, several spirit platforms had no Spirit Light, and several new spirit platforms appeared in the crumbling mountains and the churning lake water!

Spirit Light converged into a spiritual net, and the spiritual net, in turn, stimulated even more terrifying spiritual power, igniting brilliant Spirit Light.

The Cultivators of the other Three Sects were momentarily stunned, and in the next instant, they all began to attack desperately.

This was the sign of a Teleportation Array!

However, at some unknown point, a Formation appeared on the surface of the lake, encompassing all Cultivators except those from the Qingxuan Sect, Spirit Beast Sect, and Spirit Talisman Sect.

The Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Heavenly Demon Sect, and others were separated by a spiritual barrier.

Countless attacking Sword Qi and Spells landed on the spiritual barrier, yet like a calm lake, the spiritual barrier remained completely still.

“Naive!” Daoist Qingzhu, from beneath his hidden embroidered robe, fiercely waved a teleportation token towards the sky.

In an instant, the teleportation token enveloped all the Cultivators.

“All Disciples, prepare to teleport!”

Accompanying Daoist Qingzhu's voice transmission, a new Teleportation Array appeared beneath their feet.

Lin Shiming hadn't expected that there wouldn't be just one Teleportation Array beneath their feet, but two!

One teleported them to the Secret Realm, and the other teleported them into the Sect!

A wave of Spirit Light spread out, and the Immortal Masters above the Nine Heavens suddenly became furious.

They hadn't expected that Immortal Master Divine Machine's instruction for them to ascend to the Nine Heavens was to create this opportunity for teleportation.

At this moment, they also understood that the treasure was still among these Cultivators!

They just didn't know why they couldn't find it at all.

At this moment, they were even more enraged, and even the Immortal Masters of the Spirit Beast Sect and Spirit Talisman Sect began to hesitate!

Because the Qingxuan Sect's actions seemed to genuinely indicate a treasure being transmitted out; otherwise, why would they teleport?

A violent attack descended, instantly shattering the lake surface, but Immortal Master Tianmo's attack was already too late.

The Cultivators of the Qingxuan Sect and the Three Sects had already appeared within the Qingxuan Sect's mountain gate.

In front of the mountain gate was the Ascension Ladder!

At this moment, the Qingxuan Sect's mountain-protecting Formation was wide open.

And at this moment, Immortal Master Tianmo, Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and other Immortal Masters, who had been outmaneuvered, rushed towards the Qingxuan Sect's mountain-protecting Formation.

Today, they would break the Formation.

The treasure for Breakthrough to Nascent Soul must not fall into the hands of the Qingxuan Sect!

However, the closer they got to the mountain gate, the more anxious they became, especially when they saw that the people from the Spirit Beast Sect and Spirit Talisman Sect were still desperately resisting the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

They became even more anxious. If they found the treasure for Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, then the Spirit Talisman Sect and Spirit Beast Sect would absolutely not stand with the Qingxuan Sect anymore.

And at this moment, the Qingxuan Sect's Immortal Master combat strength made the Cultivators of the Demon Sect and others even more wary.

Immortal Master Divine Machine alone resisted Immortal Master Tianmo and Nine Corpse Zhenren without falling into a disadvantage.

One must know that Immortal Master Tianmo was not only a Body Cultivator but also possessed a Giant Tianmo Devil Head of the same Realm, and Nine Corpse Zhenren even had a Nine-Son Dragon Corpse!

Yet, he was still fiercely suppressed by the shenji pagoda and the Bagua Plate, just like the Tai Bai Sword Palace in the Small World.

However, this battle was even more chaotic, with scattered Spirit Light rushing beyond the Nine Heavens.

And Immortal Master Tianjian and Immortal Master Xuanjian were also exceptionally brave!

Of course, what surprised them the most was Immortal Master Qinglin, who, controlling the Star Shift and Heaven Punishing Formation, was even more terrifying in strength than Immortal Master Tianjian and Immortal Master Xuanjian!

However, True Person Liuhe's Six Paths of Heavenly Demons were equally terrifying. Even with only five paths present, he still suppressed Immortal Master Tianjian.

He even managed to help Immortal Master Tianshi next to him, together suppressing Immortal Master Xuanjian.

True Person Qianshi even had ten Early Stage Golden Core Celestial Corpses, and he alone resisted Immortal Master Qinglin.

However, facing the enhancement of the Star Shift and Heaven Punishing Formation, True Person Qianshi's Celestial Corpses simply couldn't withstand Immortal Master Qinglin's violent Body Cultivator attacks.

He even needed Real Person Huanmo to constantly create illusions from the side, suppressing Immortal Master Qinglin's offense!

However, the terror of Real Person Huanmo was that he could transform one into a thousand, and a thousand into ten thousand!

Suddenly, one of his illusory Incarnations appeared at the Qingxuan Sect's mountain gate!

Without a word, he merely looked through the spiritual Formation towards where Lin Shiming was currently located.

Lin Shiming couldn't describe what kind of eyes those were, but at this moment, illusions appeared in his mind. He felt as if his Soul had been thoroughly scrutinized, and layers of illusions arose.

On his neck, the jade pendant emitted Spirit Light, but in the next moment, it suddenly shattered.

Inside his body, the Root of Deduction also glowed, and only then did he awaken.

His heart once again felt an immense fear.

The strength of Real Person Huanmo, even a complete Clone, just one glance from him, was enough to doom him forever.

And one must know, this was directed at hundreds of people in a grand manner.

“Please stay away from Daoist Qingzhu and enter the Ascension Ladder!” The System prompt suddenly appeared.

Lin Shiming was also stunned. He didn't know why he had to stay away from Daoist Qingzhu, but with the System prompt, he couldn't hesitate at all.

Breaking free from the illusion, he rushed towards the Ascension Ladder.

Many Qingxuan Sect Cultivators who had emerged from the illusion also rushed with him. These Cultivators all possessed treasures to resist Divine Sense illusions.

“Found it!” Real Person Huanmo's eyes suddenly gleamed. With just one glance, he had seen a cyan spiritual pagoda appear within Daoist Qingzhu's body!

At this moment, Real Person Huanmo was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Immortal Master Divine Machine to be so cunning. The cyan light wasn't actually collecting the pagoda, but rather placing the pagoda into Daoist Qingzhu, a Purple Mansion Cultivator who was already outside.

And he used some unknown spiritual art to conceal it.

However, his Illusion Demon Eyes combined with the Illusion Demon Phenomenon meant that no Cultivator below Golden Core could resist it. Otherwise, he would have truly been deceived by Immortal Master Divine Machine.

Immortal Master Divine Machine was clever, but that teleportation was his biggest flaw!

Real Person Huanmo's Clone instantly transformed into a black mist Heavenly Demon, his entire body turning into black mist, and finally, with a giant gaping maw, he bit at the Qingxuan Sect's mountain-protecting Formation.

The mountain-protecting Formation was originally the Star Shift and Heaven Punishing Formation, but now that Immortal Master Qinglin had taken out most of its power, it simply couldn't withstand this single bite from Real Person Huanmo.

Daoist Qingzhu's illusion became even more intense, but infinite cyan light surged from within his body, activating a small pagoda's phantom image, and Daoist Qingzhu also rushed towards the Ascension Ladder.

This Ascension Ladder was a unique treasure, not just a test for Cultivators.

Real Person Huanmo, however, sneered. In the next moment, a Qingxuan Sect Cultivator suddenly pulled out a magic sword and stabbed it towards Daoist Qingzhu.

“Ye Yun, how dare you!” Daoist Qingzhu roared.

However, in Ye Yun's pupils at this moment, there was nothing but bloodlust. His eyes were identical to those of Real Person Huanmo.

Clearly, his true body had been replaced by Real Person Huanmo at some unknown time.

And this true body had never entered the World Tower.

Daoist Qingzhu, even with a single sword, slew that Ye Yun.

But Real Person Huanmo's true Clone appeared, grasping through Daoist Qingzhu's chest, and pulling out a cyan spiritual pagoda along with it.

The spreading Spirit Light almost instantly killed more than half of the surrounding Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Only when the attack landed on the Ascension Ladder did it dissipate into nothingness.

Real Person Huanmo let out a soft exclamation, but then flew towards the sky.

He had obtained the treasure, so naturally, he had to leave!

Immortal Master Divine Machine had a Nascent Soul dream, did Real Person Huanmo not have a Nascent Soul dream?

“Huanmo! You!” Real Person Huanmo's sudden escape instantly angered all the Golden Core True Persons present.

Nine Corpse Zhenren and True Person Liuhe even stopped their fighting directly, preparing to pursue and kill Real Person Huanmo.

Immortal Master Tianmo and Nine Corpse Zhenren also wanted to shake off Immortal Master Divine Machine, and the Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect also wanted to shake off the Cultivators of the Spirit Beast Sect and Spirit Talisman Sect.

However, at this moment, Immortal Master Divine Machine's lips curled into an inexplicable smile.

The shenji pagoda suddenly expanded countless times, enveloping Immortal Master Tianmo and Immortal Master Divine Machine's main bodies.

From within the shenji pagoda, infinite Spirit Light surged forth, enveloping the Nine-Son Dragon Corpse and the Giant Tianmo.

“How can this be, Divine Machine, you schemed against us!” Immortal Master Tianmo and Nine Corpse Zhenren suddenly discovered that the Nine-Son Dragon Corpse and the Giant Tianmo had, at this moment, briefly lost control.

And that Spirit Light imprint was clearly the Cultivation Technique imprint of their Clones!

Their Cultivation Technique flaws had been found and suppressed by the shenji pagoda!

And a Bagua Plate and a Taiji Sword Diagram suddenly appeared above their heads.

This attack was several times more powerful than Immortal Master Divine Machine's previous attacks.

Without the Nine-Son Dragon Corpse, without the Giant Tianmo, the strength of Nine Corpse Zhenren and Immortal Master Tianmo had plummeted by an unknown amount.

They were suppressed by the shenji pagoda, the Taiji Sword Diagram, and the Bagua Plate, three unique treasures, all at once.

Immortal Master Tianmo was instantly cut in half, and Nine Corpse Zhenren was slain on the spot.

However, in the next moment, half of Immortal Master Tianmo's body reappeared next to the Giant Tianmo, and Nine Corpse Zhenren's Divine Soul fluctuation manifested on the Nine-Son Dragon Corpse.

However, at this moment, both had no more Battle Intent and successively used Blood Escape.

They vanished into the Void Realm!

On the other side, the shenji pagoda's imprint also went towards True Person Liuhe, True Person Qianshi, Real Person Huanmo, and Immortal Master Tianshi.

Without exception, with the Cultivation Technique imprint, their Cultivation Techniques briefly failed for half an instant.

And Immortal Master Tianjian and Immortal Master Xuanjian even unleashed supreme sword might.

Immortal Master Tianshi perished on the spot, True Person Liuhe was left with only three Six Paths Clones fleeing in panic, while True Person Qianshi, seemingly having anticipated it, also used Blood Escape.

The scene changed so quickly that the Immortal Masters of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Spirit Beast Sect, and Spirit Talisman Sect were all stunned for a moment, but then they surrounded all of Real Person Huanmo's Clones.

Seeing this, Real Person Huanmo's expression turned grim. He crushed the cyan spiritual pagoda and took out the treasure within the pagoda.

“Let me go, otherwise I'll destroy the Spirit Medicine for Breakthrough to Nascent Soul!”

Real Person Huanmo said, but what made him disbelieving was that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect also began to use escape techniques to leave.

And Divine Talisman True Person and Heavenly Beast Zhenren of the Spirit Beast Sect rushed towards him.

He was somewhat incredulous, but in the next moment, his Divine Sense fell upon the spiritual item in his hand, and only then did he discover that the spiritual item in his hand was not a treasure for Breakthrough to Nascent Soul at all, but merely a taiqing purple jade fruit tree!

“What a scheme!” Real Person Huanmo now understood that he had been tricked by Immortal Master Divine Machine, but he also blamed his own greed.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been caught in such a predicament.

However, at that time, how many Cultivators could have remained calm?

Real Person Huanmo was also decisive. In an instant, all his Clones exploded.

They turned into a bloody mist, also performing Blood Escape.

The Blood Escape of these Demon Sect Cultivators was naturally not the Blood Escape of ordinary Cultivators. Their Blood Escape technique could cover hundreds of thousands of miles in almost a single use, and they could perform it several times consecutively. Even an Immortal Master's Divine Sense couldn't lock onto them.

Unless a space-locking Formation had been set up beforehand.

However, in such an intense battle, even if a space-locking Formation had been set up early, it would definitely have been broken!

At this moment, Lin Shiming, on the Ascension Ladder, witnessed the entire process in the sky. He only felt chills down his spine and suffocation.

Immortal Master Divine Machine's calculations were too terrifying.

And Lin Shiming knew that Immortal Master Divine Machine had definitely obtained the nether blood lotus!

However, he was also puzzled as to where the nether blood lotus was.

Real Person Huanmo, who had planted spies and used illusions, ultimately couldn't find it, only finding a fake one.

And Lin Shiming suddenly had a thought at this moment.

That treasure hadn't come out!

That treasure was still in the World Tower!

Thinking of this, Lin Shiming was even more dumbfounded, completely dazed.

This time, the Qingxuan Sect had simply achieved a terrifyingly perfect harvest.

As for the damaged mountain-protecting Formation and the Cultivators who died, they were nothing. They would definitely have the possibility of becoming a Nascent Soul Sect in the future.

Such a loss of Disciples was truly insignificant.

The Immortal Masters quickly disappeared, leaving behind Daoists to preside over the overall situation.

And appearing before Lin Shiming and Xie An was naturally Zi Xuan Sanren.

At this moment, Zi Xuan Sanren was not alone. There were also five or six Sword Cultivator Purple Mansion Cultivators from Tianjian Peak. Their expressions were solemn, and they were looking at the carrier of the Spirit Communication Sword.

The Spirit Communication Sword was not their Qingxuan Sect's Cultivator; they could truly run away.

And for Zi Xuan Sanren, these Spirit Communication Swords were his Golden Core Dao.

How could he relax? To the extent that Lin Shiming was not even in his eyes at the moment.

Xie An, on the other hand, received a glance and a nod of approval from him!

Because Xie An also had the aura of the Spirit Communication Sword within him!

Of course, Lin Shiming was happy to not be noticed. At this moment, he didn't want anything else; he just wanted to leave the Qingxuan Sect and Qingxuan Mountain as soon as possible.

Return to Fangmu Mountain.
