500: Finally achieved success and returned to the Eastern Region (two-in-one, please subscribe with a monthly ticket)

"Senior, please help guard Shuangmu Island!" On the Sword Ladder, Lin Shiming began to bid farewell.

This time returning to the Eastern Domain, he didn't plan to bring the Yan Yang Sword, even if it might be more dangerous.

But as long as he was careful, he was still confident.

After all, now that his Sword Domain had reached Minor Achievement, and with Sword Origin entrusted to him, he was confident he could fight an ordinary Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

Coupled with three incomplete Spirit Treasures, even if he couldn't win, he could still escape.

But Shuangmu Island was different. If Lin Shiming left with the Yan Yang Sword, and the Heavenly Demon Sect came to Shuangmu Island, the support from other inner islands of the Coral Alliance might not arrive so quickly!

Moreover, Nine Heavens Hermit was still in the process of breaking through to Golden Core.

At that time, it would be truly dangerous.

At this moment, Nine Heavens Hermit's Breakthrough was likely nearing its end. After all, if one looked at the Spiritual Vein of Qinglian Peak now, they would find that most of the Spiritual Qi from the Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein was heading towards Nine Heavens Hermit's secluded Immortal Cave.

"No problem, go with peace of mind!" Crimson Flame Sword also nodded.

Finally, he used Divine Sense to transmit a message, telling Lin Shiming how to activate the Taiyi Sword Grass to find the portal to the Small World.

After all, Lin Shiming had already broken through to Golden Core, so it was naturally impossible for him to enter the Small World through that Mysterious Grade Secret Realm.

After bowing his hands in thanks, Lin Shiming left the Sword Pavilion and went to see Lin Xianzhi, his Seventh Grand Uncle.

When he saw Lin Shiming leave, he seemed a bit silent. He naturally didn't want to see Lin Shiming take such a risk.

But he didn't know what reason to use to persuade Lin Shiming.

Because if it were him, he would definitely do it too.

This was the Immortal Dao for everyone in the Lin Family.

It couldn't be stopped. The current Lin Family was no longer the Lin Family of Fangmu Mountain in the Eastern Domain, where all Cultivators could rush in impulsively.

Now the Lin Family was a Golden Core great Family.

"Be careful in everything!" Lin Xianzhi could only say this in the end.

His eyes watched the lush green lotuses, many of which were still blooming in the Green Lotus Pond.

Lin Shiming also nodded. The risks in the Eastern Domain were not small. At the very least, the Azure Cloud Fox Clan probably harbored deep resentment towards him. Besides that, the Heavenly Demon Sect would likely try to kill him.

The other party also had Real Person Tianmo, who could perform divination.

But Lin Shiming's greatest advantage was that he had System prompts.

Leaving the Green Lotus Pond on Qinglian Peak, Lin Shiming arrived at Thousand Wood Peak and sat outside Lin Shitao's Immortal Cave.

It was still the stone table, Tea Tree, and peach branches.

Sitting here, Lin Shiming's heart always felt a touch of warmth.

This feeling was indescribable, but it was just so reassuring, like a harbor.

Perhaps in his heart, within such a large Lin Family, this was his small home.

"Seventh Brother, this is new spirit wine, want to try it?" Lin Shitao also walked out of her Immortal Cave.

She seemed to have known that Lin Shiming was leaving early, and she took out spirit wine to see him off.

Today, Lin Shitao was wearing a pink long dress, and her hair, treated with a special fragrance, was neatly coiled at the back of her head, exuding a unique freshness and pleasant scent.

After refining the Crimson Glow Flame, Lin Shitao had also grown more radiant and lovely.

"Seventh Brother, please drink!" Lin Shitao filled a cup for Lin Shiming and poured one for herself.

They drank together as if it were a wedding toast.

Lin Shiming looked at the wine and at the person in his heart, and the feeling of bearing everything was swept away.

He drank it generously.

But as soon as he drank it, he discovered that the liquor in his body turned into a ball of flame. He had experienced this feeling before.

But even that time, it wasn't this intense.

"Is this a Fourth-Order High Grade turtle spirit coconut?" Lin Shiming was startled.

He had never doubted Lin Shitao, and there was no need to, so he hadn't used his Divine Sense to check.

Now he suddenly discovered that this was a new cup of turtle spirit coconut.

"This was refined by Thirteenth Uncle after he reached Purple Mansion, Husband!" Lin Shitao explained, though her face was also flushed.

She even called him 'Husband'.

Clearly, she had also drunk the turtle spirit coconut.

"Husband, Shitao's cultivation is entirely due to you, but having been married to you for over a hundred years, I haven't been able to bear an heir for the Lin Family!"

"Moreover, these years I've constantly dreamed of Ze Ying, even more intensely than when I broke through to Purple Mansion. I also dreamed of Fourth Grandpa, and he said he wanted to see Ze Ying!" Lin Shitao took out a sword.

This sword was the Ze Ying Sword that Lin Yutie had refined for Lin Shiming, and its meaning was that it was prepared for Lin Shiming's son.

Later, for Lin Shitao's Breakthrough to Purple Mansion, Lin Shiming gave the Ze Ying Sword to Lin Shitao.

"Let's not... wait anymore, okay, Husband!"

At this moment, dusk was approaching, and the sunset glowed red at the horizon of the sea, exceptionally beautiful.

A gentle breeze swept by, but how could the red glow in the sky compare to the blush on his beloved's face?

"Good!" Lin Shiming also nodded, picked up Lin Shitao, and headed towards the depths of the Immortal Cave!

As he walked, he also kissed Lin Shitao's forehead... The next day, with the scorching sunlight, it shone directly onto the entrance of the Immortal Cave.

The beach was already covered with foraging seabirds, which quickly startled and flew up with the waves.

Lin Shiming walked out of the Immortal Cave, and Lin Shitao, with eyes full of affection and a slight stagger, followed behind to see Lin Shiming off.

That night was naturally wonderful, but relatively speaking, it also came with a corresponding price.

Although Lin Shitao was a Cultivator, a Purple Mansion Cultivator, she couldn't withstand Lin Shiming, who was a Golden Core Body Cultivator, and the difference in strength was immense.

And under the effect of the turtle spirit coconut, the two were truly like dry wood meeting a fierce fire, not daring to rest for a moment.

"Husband, I'll wait for you on Shuangmu Island!" Lin Shitao said with deep affection, her eyes full of tenderness. Having broken through that barrier, she appeared even shyer.

"Mm!" Lin Shiming nodded, then embraced Lin Shitao again. After half an hour of tenderness, he resolutely transformed into a streak of rainbow light and headed towards the Teleportation Array.

At this moment, there were already more than a dozen Teleportation Arrays on Shuangmu Island, each corresponding to a different place, including Fangmu Island, Tianxiang Island, Jiuyue Island, and Lianyun Island, making it well-connected and no less inferior to Tianxiang Island.

And at the Teleportation Array, Lin Hou had already been waiting for a long time.

"Second Uncle!" Lin Shiming cupped his hands, looking somewhat surprised.

"This time, Seventh Grand Uncle said to give you the best Formation Master!"

"Then he will personally go to guard the Underground Dragon Palace and Jiuyue Island!" Lin Hou also said playfully.

Lin Shiming smiled wryly and nodded. His Seventh Grand Uncle still maintained his old style, always thinking of him.

However, with Lin Hou present, he felt much more at ease. Moreover, the latter was a Formation Master, and perhaps he would be useful when they went to the Small World.

This time, when Lin Shiming went to the Tai Bai Sword Palace Small World again, it was naturally impossible to be as timid as last time, not daring to touch anything.

Perhaps this time, he would even move the entire Legacy Hall of Tai Bai Sword Palace, just like Divine Machine Immortal Master did before.

Furthermore, Lin Hou had also entered his Immortal Cave, making many things extremely convenient, without the need for concealment.

The two also boarded the Teleportation Array, first heading to Fangmu Island.

On Fangmu Island, they made no stops and continued to teleport to Nine Heavens Hermit's Jiuyang Mountain.

The environment on Jiuyang Mountain was all as before, with many Dark Night Cloud Bats flying out.

Upon seeing that it was Lin Shiming and the other, those Cloud Bats disappeared again.

Apparently, the Cloud Bat King had sentience and recognized Lin Shiming.

And with the Cloud Bats present, Lin Shiming felt much more at ease, indicating that no accidents had occurred here.

Although Crazy Wind Immortal Master and Tian Liu True Person had passed through before, they had not disrupted the situation here, nor had they casually killed these Cloud Bats.

Lin Shiming guessed that those Cloud Bats had probably tried to stop them, but faced with two Golden Core True Persons, they could only angrily shriek from behind.

"Second Uncle, let's go to the Spirit Talisman Sect's market first!" Lin Shiming suggested.

The reason they hadn't needed to gather information before was because Nine Heavens Hermit could do it. As a Fourth-Order Artifact Refiner, Nine Heavens Hermit had excellent connections.

He could casually help people refine artifacts, and he could also use the excuse of secluded cultivation to gather some information.

This time, with Nine Heavens Hermit absent, Lin Shiming and his companion didn't want to stumble in the dark, so it was naturally better to investigate first.

Jiuyang Mountain was located within the territory of the Zhao Country's Spirit Talisman Sect, so they naturally went to a market under the Spirit Talisman Sect.

Lin Shiming took out the Eternal Night Umbrella and quickly flew towards the Spirit Talisman Sect's market.

Soon, they arrived by a small lake.

This was the Haoyue Lake Market. Lin Shiming had visited once before when Nine Heavens Hermit was present.

The two had changed their appearances. Lin Hou looked like a bearded man, while Lin Shiming had transformed into a Cultivator who had just entered the world.

The market was not large, similar to Qingyun Market. The two found a restaurant and began to inquire about the situation.

In the restaurant, many Cultivators were conversing. They naturally communicated with Divine Sense, but for Lin Shiming, their Divine Sense transmissions were clearly heard by him, with no secrets at all.

During his inquiries, Lin Shiming finally understood the current situation in the Eastern Domain.

There were currently two Nascent Soul Cultivators in the Eastern Domain: Nine Leaves True Lord of the Spirit Beast Sect, and Thunder Talisman Lord of the Spirit Talisman Sect.

Lin Shiming found it easy to understand that the Spirit Beast Sect produced a Nascent Soul Cultivator first. However, Thunder Talisman Lord, the once very low-key Grand Elder of the Spirit Talisman Sect, transforming into a Nascent Soul Cultivator, was unexpected for Lin Shiming.

Besides that, on the Yao Race side, it was still Cloud Dragon Demon Emperor alone.

However, Lin Shiming estimated that there were definitely others who had secretly broken through to Nascent Soul.

Because many treasures from the Cloud Realm had now been discovered, only the central Cloud Palace had yet to be entered by any Cultivator.

Even when Nine Leaves True Lord and Thunder Talisman Lord attacked together, it only ended with both of them being injured!

The strength of the Golden Armored Warriors was clearly stronger than that of ordinary Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.

As for the Heavenly Demon Sect and Corpse Refinement Sect, they had been very low-key these years.

It was estimated that some Cultivators were also secretly breaking through to Nascent Soul.

This made Lin Shiming feel even worse. If True Person Liuhe or Real Person Tianmo broke through, the Lin Family's situation in the future might become even more turbulent.

After staying in the market for three days, the two left again and headed towards the Qingxuan Mountain Range (Azure Mystery Mountain Range).

Since the collapse of the Qingxuan Sect, the Qingxuan Mountain Range (Azure Mystery Mountain Range) was now filled with small forces. Many Foundation Establishment forces and Foundation Establishment Families had settled in the Qingxuan Mountain Range (Azure Mystery Mountain Range).

However, no major force had taken over.

It was as if the lingering prestige of the Heavenly Demon Sect still remained.

The Qingxuan Mountain was still in ruins.

Lin Shiming landed in front of Qingxuan Mountain, looking down at the place where the Ascension Ladder was once placed.

He saw that a layer of vegetation still completely covered it, and it no longer looked like the place once revered by tens of thousands of Cultivators.

He couldn't help but feel a pang of melancholy.

He recalled that back then, Lin Xianzhi had brought him here to experience the Ascension Ladder.

Now, almost two hundred years had passed, and the vegetation had grown so lush.

Lin Shiming then led Lin Hou towards the place where they had previously searched for the Mysterious Grade Secret Realm.

The entrance to the Small World was also there.

Soon, Lin Shiming and Lin Hou landed on an ordinary hill.

A Taiyi Sword Grass appeared in Lin Shiming's hand. The Taiyi Sword Grass glowed faintly with Spirit Light, and a Sword Intent quietly spread out.

"This is it. Second Uncle, please help set up a large Formation here, preferably one that reaches the Fourth-Order High Grade level!" Lin Shiming said.

Lin Hou also nodded. He had already reached the level of a Fourth-Order High Grade Formation Master before breaking through to Purple Mansion, so now he had naturally reached the level of a Fourth-Order High Grade Formation Master long ago.

As he scattered over a thousand Formation Flags and dozens of Formation Plates.

Soon, a huge Formation capable of covering two mountains was formed nearby.

Moreover, Lin Hou also took out a Spirit Seeking Compass containing a Fourth-Order Spirit Vein.

By setting up the Spirit Seeking Compass together, the power of the Formation could then be fully unleashed.

This also showed that Lin Hou's Formation attainments were far superior to those of Lin Zelu and Lin Shiyun.

This was related to Lin Hou having used Inference Aura, and also to Lin Hou's genuine talent in Formations.

"Shiming, this Formation is the Thick Earth Returning to Origin Formation. An ordinary Golden Core Cultivator would have to put in some effort to destroy this Formation!" Lin Hou was very confident in his Formations.

After setting it up, he began to explain it to Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming also looked at the Spirit Shield, suddenly wanting to try it, but then suppressed the urge.

Then he took out the Taiyi Sword Grass again.

The method of entering the Small World, as the Yan Yang Sword had said, was to use the connection between the Taiyi Sword Grass, Senior Grass, and Ten Thousand Swords Mountain to break open the world barrier!

Lin Shiming activated the Taiyi Sword Grass to its extreme. This time, he directly used the Taiyi Sword Grass to unleash Sword Origin.

As the Sword Intent spread, a large expanse of Sword Origin appeared in the Void Realm.

Countless Sword Grass appeared one after another, like a world of the Dao of the Sword.

Lin Hou was astonished at this moment. The next moment, his expression changed even more, and he retreated backward.

He suddenly realized that if he got too close, he, a Purple Mansion Cultivator, couldn't bear it.

Boom!

As Lin Shiming slashed out with his sword, the Taiyi Sword Grass was the first to cut through the Void Realm.

With the terrifying sword light, the next moment, a huge vortex directly appeared.

The vortex quickly opened, forming a barrier entrance.

"Second Uncle!" Lin Shiming retracted his Sword Intent, and Lin Hou instantly followed, stepping into the Small World.

At this moment, the Small World was still like a primeval forest.

Lush jungles were everywhere, along with powerful Third and Fourth-Order Yao Beasts.

But the next moment, Lin Shiming's expression changed.

Because within the range of his Divine Sense, he saw figures of Cultivators.

These Cultivators were wearing the attire of the Qingxuan Sect and carrying green longswords on their backs.

These were clearly people from the Qingxuan Sect.

Evidently, over these years, the Qingxuan Sect still controlled the entrance to the Small World. So, Ten Thousand Swords Mountain and that Tai Bai Sword Palace... Lin Shiming's brows furrowed tightly!
