495: Chi Ming Xia Yan, Nan Ming Huo Jing (2-in-1, please give me a double monthly ticket)

The sun gradually set, forming a line with the sea level.

The golden sunset dyed the sea a golden yellow.

Several seabirds flew from afar, then flew towards the end of the sea!

Upon the island, it was incredibly silent!

Just then, a perfectly round barrier vortex appeared on the island!

The vortex resembled a deep star map, constantly rotating, as if to draw everything into it.

The next moment, a pair of crimson eyes appeared within the star map.

Those pupils seemed a bit hesitant; it always felt that outside today was somewhat different!

The next moment, another Cultivator, piloting a spirit boat, passed by the island.

“Delicious food!” It murmured in a low voice!

It also transformed into a sky-covering blaze, surging out and biting towards that human Cultivator.

However, in the air, only a crimson precious book was seen descending!

The precious book quickly enveloped it.

“Be careful of other Yao Beasts! Shijie, you pilot the Ten Directions Red Crow Formation. Also, I have a fifth-tier Spirit Puppet here!” Lin Shiming shouted loudly, his figure emerging from the Eternal Night Umbrella and then disappearing into the Void Realm, becoming invisible!

“Alright!” Lin Shijie also nodded. On the island, countless golden flames surged forth in an instant, and ten Red Crows landed at various points on the island!

At the same time, Lin Shijie and his Red Dragon also landed on the island. In addition, Lin Shiming’s Wang Jiao was lurking at the bottom of the sea!

Lin Zelu and the other Cultivators, on the other hand, guarded the surroundings of the island. If Yao Beasts surged out from within that barrier again, they would be able to resist them at any time!

This barrier clearly allowed Golden Core Yao Beasts to enter, so it was highly possible that there were also Yao Kings inside!

And in the Void Realm, the Red Cloud Bird Yao King was currently trapped by Lin Shiming’s Book of Hidden Paths!

An endless pressure bore down on the Red Cloud Bird!

The Red Cloud Bird continuously shrieked, brilliant flames flew about, and all its feathers stood on end!

A terrifying heatwave shook the Void Realm!

It was as if the Book of Hidden Paths could barely withstand it!

Its long, sharp beak pecked forward, stirring up large ripples.

“Human, let this King out! In this King’s Divine Realm, there are still many of this King’s descendants, all at this King’s Realm!” The Red Cloud Bird Yao King was furious!

But at this moment, Lin Shiming’s heart was already at ease!

The effect of this Book of Hidden Paths was too overbearing, forcibly pulling one into the Book of Hidden Paths space!

With the Spiritual Qi field enhancement, it was comparable to a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Domain.

It was just that the effect was slightly inferior!

In an instant, Lin Shiming’s Sword Intent also fully attacked, and streaks of Sword Grass rampaged within the space!

At this moment, the Red Cloud Bird Yao King had nowhere to hide and could only use its Physical Body to withstand the Sword Intent that filled the space!

These Sword Intent fell into the Void Realm, evolving into Sword Grass!

The same happened when they landed on its feathers!

In an instant, the Red Cloud Bird Yao King screamed repeatedly, flapping its wings repeatedly, but it simply could not break through the space of the incomplete Spirit Treasure!

Even its red feathers fell off one by one, and the flames all over its body surged to the extreme, as if incinerating all Spiritual Qi.

However, Sword Intent and Spiritual Qi were ultimately two different things. The Red Cloud Bird continuously shrieked and began to dart around, its terrifying speed and frantic wings seemingly about to shatter the space.

And just then, Lin Shiming attacked again!

In his hand, a Star Bead flew into the air. At this moment, it was as if the entire starry sky began to appear!

Stars shifted, starlight descended!

A giant star meteorite fell, carrying infinite power!

It smashed fiercely towards the Red Cloud Bird Yao King!

In an instant, a terrifying sound erupted!

And the Red Cloud Bird let out an astonishing shriek!

As the star transformed from the Star Bead fell, the Red Cloud Bird’s entire body caved in, with only its spiritual fire still burning constantly!

At this moment, its flickering eyes held a fierce ruthlessness!

It seemed to have discovered Lin Shiming’s body and spat out a crimson flame!

This flame was even more terrifying than the flames outside, as if it wanted to burn a person’s Divine Soul to ashes!

“Crimson Glow Flame!” Lin Shiming was also startled!

This Red Cloud Bird had actually condensed the Crimson Glow Flame. This spiritual flame, according to legend, meant that if the Soul was immortal, the spiritual flame would not dissipate!

The space of the Book of Hidden Paths also visibly began to twist at this moment!

Lin Shiming, meanwhile, controlled the Star Bead to smash towards the Red Cloud Bird Yao King’s head again!

Boom!

The Red Cloud Bird’s massive bird head, at this moment, completely turned into a bloody mist.

Lin Shiming dared not directly block the Crimson Glow Flame, so he dodged to the side.

And even though this Crimson Glow Flame became ownerless, it still pursued Lin Shiming!

And just then, Lin Shiming felt a tremor in his Soul Restraining Seal!

It was the Red-haired Demon Monkey, currently undergoing a Breakthrough, sending him a Divine Soul message.

It seemed the latter also greatly desired this spiritual flame; even in the Grotto-heaven, preparing for a Breakthrough, it didn’t forget to send him a tremor.

Lin Shiming was also taken aback. He did want to subdue this spiritual flame, but he didn’t have a suitable vessel. Otherwise, this Crimson Glow Flame could truly incinerate one’s Divine Soul.

“[Please use the Rising Sun Sword as a vessel, and you will acquire a complete, mottled Crimson Glow Flame!]”

The System prompt sounded, and Lin Shiming instantly understood!

He took out the Magic Treasure, the Rising Sun Sword, from his hand!

The Rising Sun Sword transformed into a blazing sun and slashed out fiercely!

Landing on the spiritual flame, surprisingly, the Crimson Glow Flame settled on the spiritual sword.

It no longer spread in all directions!

Lin Shiming also let out a long breath.

But he was also a bit surprised, because the System prompt said that this Crimson Glow Flame was mottled and not pure!

However, even a mottled spiritual flame had caused him considerable damage!

If it weren’t for the System prompt, he might have had to summon the Yan Yang Sword.

He then put away the Red Cloud Bird’s corpse!

The Red Cloud Bird Yao King’s corpse was also a treasure!

And he was even more confident in his own strength; most Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivators without Magic Treasures and Minor Divine Abilities would likely not be his match at this moment!

After all, he now possessed three incomplete Spirit Treasures, and had comprehended the second layer of the Treasure Unlocking Art for all of them!

Coupled with his numerous Magic Treasures, including the Azure Fish Mirror, and the three supreme treasures: the Purple Cloud Token, Fire Cloud Token, and Great Earth Token. Additionally, his own Sword Intent and Body Cultivator strength could not be ignored!

Lin Shiming summarized everything, and finally threw the Rising Sun Sword into the Grotto-heaven as well!

He specifically cleared out a corner for it!

At that time, it could be divided into three portions: one for the Red-haired Demon Monkey, and one each for Lin Shitao and Lin Shijie!

As Lin Shiming’s figure appeared in the Void Realm!

The situation on the island was also revealed at this moment!

The Red Cloud Yao King had not lied; at this moment, large numbers of female Red Cloud Birds surged from the island. Their red cloud crowns were extremely small.

Their strength was mostly around the fourth-tier!

There were very few at the fourth-tier Middle Stage and Late Stage!

This scene made Lin Shiming exclaim in wonder!

At this moment, Lin Shijie and the others began to take out various Magical Artifacts to subdue these Red Cloud Birds!

The Ten Directions Red Crow Formation had also been activated!

But alas, there were so many Red Cloud Birds, and they were so fast, that they were a bit overwhelmed!

They mainly relied on the fifth-tier Spirit Puppet, constantly charging in and out!

Slaughtering Red Cloud Birds one by one!

At this moment, Lin Shiming also took action. These adult Red Cloud Birds were of little significance to the Lin family!

They had no future growth potential, and it wasn’t easy to make them obedient.

The Lin family could, however, look forward to the Red Cloud Bird fledglings inside!

Seeing so many female Red Cloud Birds, and considering the Red Cloud Yao King’s character, it was estimated that there were many young Red Cloud Birds, and their talent was probably good!

As soon as Lin Shiming’s swordsmanship was unleashed, in an instant, those Red Cloud Birds had nowhere to hide and were cut down one by one!

“Ze Lu, seal the Formation to prevent the scent of blood from escaping. Big Brother, you guard outside. Ze Kong and Ze Cheng, come in with me!” After dealing with the Red Cloud Birds outside, Lin Shiming also planned to go in and scout around!

To see if the Small World inside was suitable for Cultivators and Mortals to live in!

“Shiming, go ahead. With Ze Lu and me here, there’s no problem!” Lin Shijie also nodded. Piloting the Ten Directions Red Crow Formation, he also felt the power of a fifth-tier Formation!

He was still savoring the battle against the Red Cloud Birds a moment ago!

And Lin Zelu also began to collect the corpses of the fourth-tier Red Cloud Birds, while simultaneously controlling the Formation to seal off the island.

As Lin Shiming, Lin Zekong, and Lin Zecheng stepped into the vortex.

Lin Shiming immediately took out the flame dragon shield and eighteen Star Pattern Wind Stabilizing Pearls!

Wrapping the three of them tightly, after all, the System prompt had already been used!

Although the possibility of another Yao King emerging from inside was small, they still needed to be vigilant!

And inside the Small World, it gradually unfolded before the three of them!

It was a vast, primeval jungle!

The primeval jungle was very large, very wide, no less so than the Lin family’s Shuangmu Island!

And in the distance of the jungle, there was also a huge plain!

On the plain, there were still many architectural ruins.

Those buildings displayed the style of ancient times, and still bore traces of scorching!

On the blackened charcoal ashes, over time, some shallow moss had crept up!

And further beyond the plain, there was a huge volcano!

Above the volcano, thick black smoke filled the air!

Terrifying high temperatures continuously spread outwards with the breeze, like ocean waves, incredibly frightening!

“It seems this was once a hidden place, but it was blocked by that Red Cloud Bird and became a dead land!” Lin Shiming also sighed!

The Spiritual Vein here was not bad, reaching the level of a fourth-tier top-grade!

In the jungle, many first-tier and second-tier Spiritual Plants and spiritual flowers could still be seen at this moment!

These were not valued by the Red Cloud Birds, and with no Cultivators to pick them, they were scattered freely throughout the jungle.

“Seventh Uncle, there are many Wood Demons here!” Lin Zekong was also a bit excited at this moment!

Most of the Wood Demons in this jungle were old locust trees, not very powerful, and all were second-tier!

Naturally, Lin Shiming didn’t value them, but for him, they were extremely precious!

They would make it easier for him to study Wood Demons!

Lin Zecheng had acquired the fourth-tier Spirit Puppet secret art, so he was also anxious now.

“Don’t rush, let’s go check out that volcano first. There should be good things there!” Lin Shiming replied with a smile.

His Divine Sense covered the entire Small World; he didn’t detect any danger, and in his opinion, this place was indeed a perfect location!

And besides a Formation, there was another way to resolve the Small World entrance: use the island-shifting technique to move an island to block the setting sun, making it undiscoverable!

If possible then, a Teleportation Array could be established. If not, Cultivators could be left outside to provide support!

Lin Shiming took out the Crane Shadow Boat, carrying Lin Zekong and Lin Zecheng, and headed straight for the volcano!

The volcano was even larger than what they had seen with their Divine Sense!

Sure enough, next to the volcano, there were many huge nests!

These nests were woven from spiritual wood, the same material as the earliest meditation mat Lin Shiming used!

And inside the nests, there were currently five or six Red Cloud fledglings!

These Red Cloud fledglings clearly possessed extraordinary talent; not long after being born, each already had the strength of a third-tier Early Stage!

They were much stronger than some pure-blooded Yao Dragon descendants!

“I want to get one too!” Lin Zekong and Lin Zecheng, looking at the crimson feathers of these Red Cloud Birds, also felt a stir of desire in their hearts!

“At that time, go exchange for it yourselves!” Lin Shiming, however, had no such thoughts. He already had many Spirit Beasts and many helpers!

As for Lin Zekong and Lin Zecheng, they had just handed over their Spirit Snakes, so he could understand their current longing!

But it was still the same old saying: if you want it, exchange for it with contribution points!

Lin Shiming took out the Five Metal Beast Ring and put all the fledglings into his spirit beast pouch!

Finally, he looked at the two of them:

“You two, you don’t know how to value this true treasure!” Lin Shiming introduced the mysterious cattail grass to them.

Only then did the two grasp the cattail grass, and the next moment, they were surprised, because as soon as they held the cattail grass, they felt a surge of vitality!

The Lin family originally didn’t have much cattail grass, and later Lin Shiming made another meditation mat, so other Cultivators rarely used it.

But at this moment, these large bird nests contained a large quantity of this cattail grass!

Moreover, as he looked towards a valley next to the volcano, he saw a patch of such cattail grass growing!

It could be cultivated!

This also meant that in the future, the Lin family would not lack this kind of cattail grass!

Lin Shiming contentedly put away all the cattail grass, then headed towards the volcano!

The temperature in the volcano was extremely high; even at the entrance, one could feel its terrifying heat!

It felt as if it could instantly evaporate all the moisture from one’s body!

Terrifying molten lava was constantly bubbling with heat, emitting wisps of whitish smoke.

“Seventh Uncle, there are crystals there!” Just then, Lin Zecheng also spoke.

Lin Shiming followed the direction of Lin Zecheng’s finger and quickly discovered several crystals embedded within the volcanic rock!

Lin Shiming and the other two flew forward on their Flying Swords!

When the crystals were knocked down, fist-sized pieces of crystal appeared!

These crystals were twice the size of Spirit Stones and contained a beautiful spiritual pattern flame.

“These are Southern Bright Fire Crystals! No wonder the Crimson Glow Flame could be born here. There must be a Southern Bright Fire Crystal mine here!” Lin Shiming was also delighted!

These Southern Bright Fire Crystals were a fourth-tier treasure material, used in the refining of many Magic Treasures!

For the Lin family, with a Southern Bright Fire Crystal mine, whether they forged Magic Treasures themselves or sold them, it would be a good choice for the future birth of many Purple Mansion Cultivators!

And Lin Shiming also estimated that those Red Cloud Birds had probably also consumed these Southern Bright Fire Crystals!

Otherwise, normal Red Cloud Birds would at most grow to the fourth-tier!

And the Red Cloud Yao King being the only Yao King was probably also due to it rarely sharing these Southern Bright Fire Crystals!

Lin Shiming made a rough estimate, then began to set up a simple Formation.

He then arranged for someone to notify Lin Shijie and the others to also enter!
