504: Eight people enter the palace

“It will take some more time. When it’s ready, you can sense it with this Jade Talisman!” Tianjian Zhenren’s Clone tossed over another Sword Talisman.

The Sword Talisman was palm-sized, somewhat similar to a flying fox token.

Lin Shiming casually placed it into his Storage Pouch.

“From today onwards, Qingxuan Sect will no longer step into this Small World and Mysterious Grade Secret Realm!” Tianjian Zhenren promised again.

Lin Shiming nodded, not saying much.

Although he didn’t care if Qingxuan Sect’s Cultivators entered, he would naturally prefer it if there were no disturbances.

Moreover, there was no need to pay anything.

After Tianjian Zhenren left, Lin Shiming immediately took out the war treasure ship.

This war treasure ship was enormous, entirely green, covered with many cloud patterns. The hull was four stories high and equipped with countless Spirit Weapons and Spirit Talismans.

In the middle of the ship, there were eighty-one spirit platforms, and it should be known that the Lin Family’s two Low Grade Fourth-Rank war treasure ships only had nine spirit platforms. The difference in spirit platforms alone was extremely obvious.

In addition, this Peak Fourth-Rank war treasure ship could be jointly propelled by seventy-two Foundation Establishment Cultivators and nine Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivators, comparable to a Peak Purple Mansion Realm.

If a Purple Mansion Cultivator presided over it, the power exerted would be even greater.

Of course, the consumption of High-Grade Spirit Stones would also be enormous.

However, at this point, that amount of Spirit Stones was naturally nothing to the Lin Family.

Currently, the Lin Family’s small High-Grade Spirit Stone Mine produced thousands of High-Grade Spirit Stones annually, in addition to the income from Tianxiang Island, Lianyun Island, and Nine Peaks Island.

Lin Houshou thoroughly enjoyed controlling the war treasure ship.

Lin Shiming even specifically brought out the red-haired Lin Shiyan. After he transformed into a hundred-zhang giant ape, Lin Houshou controlled him, and the two sparred for a bit.

The result was that Lin Shiyan narrowly lost.

This made the latter furious, wishing he could take out his Heavenly Demon Staff and smash the entire war treasure ship to pieces!

It should be known that although Lin Shiyan was currently in the Mid Purple Mansion Realm, with the power of his ten-zhang fiery ape transformation, even an ordinary Late Stage Purple Mansion Realm Great Demon might not be his match.

Lin Houshou was overjoyed at this moment, and Lin Shiming also smiled.

The Peak Fourth-Rank war treasure ship was actually just an extra.

The method for refining a Fifth-Rank war treasure ship was the greatest gain.

When Immortal Master Divine Machine broke through, Lin Shiming had witnessed the power of a Fifth-Rank war treasure ship, which almost perfectly preserved most of Qingxuan Sect’s Disciples.

Without that Fifth-Rank treasure ship, Qingxuan Sect would have been in a state of disarray for at least three hundred years.

Lin Shiming roughly looked at the refining method for the war treasure ship. The most important Material was surprisingly thousand-year bitter bamboo!

However, thinking about how Qinglin Peak used to grow mostly three-thousand-year bitter bamboo, Lin Shiming felt somewhat relieved.

In addition to three-thousand-year bitter bamboo, the war treasure ship still required rare Materials such as starfall cold iron, profound wood crystals, and Heavenly Colorful Mud.

Gathering them all would also be a difficult task.

However, for the current Lin Family, as long as they put their heart into it and arranged for clan members to go to various Auctions and Purple Mansion Realm trade fairs, there was still hope of gathering them.

Especially the thousand-year bitter bamboo, if there wasn’t any three-thousand-year old bamboo, Lin Shiming could still catalyze its growth.

This would reduce many difficulties.

“Second Uncle, let’s go find Tai Bai Sword Palace!” Lin Shiming carefully put away the Jade Slip and the treasure ship.

The war treasure ship was also similar to a Magic Treasure. No matter how much he studied it, he wouldn’t be able to fully understand it. Knowing the main Materials and ensuring he wouldn’t miss them in the future was enough.

When they were all collected, he could give them to Nine Heavens Hermit for refining.

It was estimated that Nine Heavens Hermit’s Breakthrough to Golden Core would happen in the next few years.

Perhaps if he returned early, he could even catch Nine Heavens Hermit Undergoing Tribulation.

Lin Houshou also nodded. Having had his fill of the war treasure ship, he was beaming with joy.

Lin Shiming took out the treasure map, and faint spirit patterns began to appear on it.

Lin Shiming’s Divine Sense spread out, confirming that there were no other Cultivators in the Small World. He then took out the Eternal Night Umbrella and Crane Shadow Boat again.

Following the spirit patterns on the treasure map, they sped away!

They soon arrived at a valley, which Lin Shiming found somewhat familiar. When he left that day, it was also this valley.

The treasure map began to glow, tearing through the Void Realm.

Above the sky, light began to emanate, like a painting, with a huge palace faintly appearing within.

Various immortal sounds continuously emanated, and various immortal cranes and Phoenix shadows appeared within.

It resembled an immortal palace.

“As expected of a Soul Transformation Old Ancestor’s palace!” Lin Shiming was a little envious. Even though this was his second time entering Tai Bai Sword Palace, he was still amazed.

Just then, Lin Shiming noticed that the palace wasn’t opening wide enough.

As if it had sentience, it glanced at him and then showed signs of closing again!

Lin Shiming naturally didn’t want this to happen!

“Second Uncle, set up a Formation to fix its space!” Lin Shiming said directly.

At the same time, the Shadow of Immortal Wood also began to manifest!

The Immortal Wood Minor Divine Ability directly took root within Tai Bai Sword Palace, its roots extending out, opening a Dao of Immortal Wood.

Lin Houshou also took out several Spirit Talismans for spatial positioning.

At this moment, neither of them would allow Tai Bai Sword Palace to escape!

With the pulling of the Immortal Wood vines, the palace had no choice.

Lin Shiming took the opportunity to rush inside.

Soon, he entered Tai Bai Sword Palace.

The first thing was still the sword ladder, which originally had one hundred and eight steps, but now only had ninety steps.

The remaining eighteen steps were empty, a sight that suddenly changed Lin Houshou’s expression.

He finally understood why the palace seemed to be unwelcoming to Lin Shiming just now.

The remaining empty steps were clearly the eighteen steps of the Lin Family’s Sword Pavilion!

“Second Uncle, let’s go to Tai Bai Sword Palace’s Scripture Pavilion first!” Lin Shiming looked up. The matter of the sword ladder naturally had to wait until the end, otherwise, he would be teleported out again.

It would be regrettable if he didn’t get anything.

Lin Shiming took the lead. At this point, there was no need to train his Sword Intent. His Sword Intent Realm meant that these sword carving stones would not benefit him. The most crucial thing was that he would still pry off a few pieces when he left.

As for Lin Houshou, there was naturally no need either.

Lin Shiming’s Sword Intent covered Lin Houshou, and they both moved extremely fast, soon seeing six passages.

One led to the Alchemy Pavilion, one to the Artifact Refining Pavilion, and others to the Spirit Herb Garden, the Martial Arts Hall, and the Sect Main Hall!

However, Lin Shiming led Lin Houshou directly to the Scripture Pavilion.

Tai Bai Sword Palace had been plundered once, and Lin Shiming himself had plundered it once. Besides the Scripture Pavilion, there were no other treasures.

Soon, they both arrived at the Scripture Pavilion.

The Scripture Pavilion was still a giant tower with six exits.

The tower itself was profoundly mysterious; just looking at it for a few moments felt like one would be immersed within it.

Lin Houshou’s eyes were shining at this moment. He wanted a Formation Legacy, preferably a Fifth-Rank Formation Legacy!

For him, Cultivation Techniques held no attraction, but a Formation Legacy was different.

Currently, the Lin Family’s Legacy was still a bit weak.

Lin Shiming looked at the tower, pondered for a moment, and then released Lin Shiyan, Lin Shixing, Lin Shizhu, Lin Shijin, Lin Shicha, and Lin Shishui!

However, just as he was about to take out the blood demon disc and begin releasing the demon god chains to replicate the feat of Immortal Master Divine Machine and Real Person Tianmo, and pull away the remaining Legacy of Tai Bai Sword Palace!

He only heard a System prompt sound:

【Please follow the rules, otherwise you will face annihilation by the Tai Bai Sword Palace’s Artifact Spirit】

At this moment, Lin Shiming was stunned!

He looked at the Scripture Pavilion, and the fervor in his heart instantly diminished by more than half!

Clearly, the fact that a small portion of the Scripture Pavilion was taken away back then had angered the Artifact Spirit.

Seeing that he couldn’t take away the Legacy, Lin Shiming could only take out eight Tai Bai Sword Tokens.

These Tai Bai Sword Tokens were the tokens of Tai Bai Sword Palace.

There were even Sixth-Rank Formations within this Scripture Pavilion, so Lin Shiming naturally didn’t dare to forcefully seize it.

Moreover, this Scripture Pavilion was designed with a ‘Life Gate’ and a ‘Death Gate’.

Only by two people entering opposite each other, holding Tai Bai Sword Tokens, would it be the Life Gate!

As the Tai Bai Sword Tokens were distributed.

Lin Shiming and Lin Houshou were the first to enter opposite each other.

Lin Houshou felt quite magical at this moment. This design of Life Gate and Death Gate alone was enough to inspire him greatly. If the Lin Family’s Scripture Pavilion could also be designed this way in the future, it would ensure the safety of the Lin Family’s Scripture Pavilion and prevent villains from sneaking in and stealing Secret Manuals.

Lin Houshou entered the tower and saw a wall of hidden images. The tower was very tall, but there were no stairs. Lin Shiming had told him about this, but at this moment, he still felt extremely shocked.

This sense of spatial Formation was enough for him to study for a lifetime.

Then, he looked at the wall of hidden images. The wall was engraved with the history of Tai Bai Sword Palace, from its weakness to becoming one of the strongest forces in the Eastern Region.

It recorded a large number of glorious deeds, and Lin Houshou discovered that if one’s Divine Soul was a bit weak, after looking at the wall of hidden images, they might even be brainwashed.

And become an inheritor of Tai Bai Sword Palace from another generation!

Lin Houshou immediately felt a renewed sense of melancholy.

Then he took out a Formation, preparing to set up a grand killing Formation!

The wonder of this Scripture Pavilion also manifested here: whatever you displayed would teleport you to the corresponding section.

Therefore, Lin Houshou also prepared to set up a Fifth-Rank grand Formation.

This Fifth-Rank grand Formation was naturally just a Formation Plate, which Lin Shiming had prepared in advance.

Soon, the Formation was completely set up, and a full-power strike blasted onto the wall of hidden images.

Lin Houshou’s body also disappeared on the first floor of the tower!

At this moment, not only Lin Houshou, but also Lin Shiyan and Lin Shijin, all disappeared on the first floor!

They had all used their strongest methods!

And at this moment, Lin Shiming reappeared on the seventh floor. Here, there were still only three stone walls.

One of the stone walls was engraved with the Kui Wood Sword Scripture, which he Cultivated.

“It seems there’s no eighth floor!” Lin Shiming sighed.

Last time, he reached the seventh floor with full effort. Now, even with his Golden Core Realm and full effort, he only reached the seventh floor.

Of course, it might also be related to age, but Lin Shiming estimated that there was a high probability there was no eighth floor.

After all, he was still under two hundred years old, yet already at the Early Stage Golden Core Realm. By talent, even if placed in the Tai Bai Sword Palace of yesteryear, he would definitely be a rarity.

Lin Shiming shook his head and first looked at the stone wall of the Kui Wood Sword Scripture.

Seeing the Kui Wood Sword Scripture again, Lin Shiming felt a little emotional, but then he turned his head away. Since he already had that Cultivation Technique, he naturally wouldn’t choose it.

Instead, he looked at the other two stone walls he hadn’t seen last time. One side was the Fiery Essence True Canon, a fire-attribute Cultivation Technique that was even better than the Lin Family’s Five Flames True Scripture!

The remaining stone wall was the Sea Wave Tide Born Sword Canon!

Both Cultivation Techniques were undoubtedly Earth Rank Medium Grade Cultivation Techniques.

Lin Shiming hesitated for a while, but finally chose the Fiery Essence True Canon.

Although the Lin Family now had a Water Spiritual Root Heavenly Spiritual Root, the Lin Family also had the Earth Rank Low Grade Great Cold Weak Water Scripture.

In contrast, Lin Shitao and Lin Shijie Cultivated only the Profound Rank High Grade Five Flames Scripture, which could only be Cultivated to the Late Golden Core Stage.

Perhaps it was fine for a short period, but for the two of them, who needed to Breakthrough to Golden Core and Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, it was naturally necessary to have a higher-grade Cultivation Technique.

Lin Shiming hesitated for a moment and then chose the Fiery Essence True Canon, beginning to study it.

As the stone wall locked in, a red-robed old man also appeared, sitting on a volcano, facing the fire waves, slowly Cultivating.

Layer upon layer of fire essence condensed, forming streaks of fire Dragon shadows around him... At this moment, elsewhere, the stone wall before Lin Houshou displayed various Fifth-Rank Formation lectures.

Although he could only choose one Fifth-Rank Formation, for Lin Houshou, he was extremely excited.

The Legacy here was stone wall teaching, which was much more powerful than normal Cultivation Techniques.

However, soon, he became hesitant again. He had heard of most of these Fifth-Rank Formations, and he wanted to practice them all.

Just then, a Dun Jia Heavenly Book appeared before Lin Houshou.

This Dun Jia Heavenly Book was not a Formation, but rather explained how to deconstruct Fifth-Rank Formations and how to master them most quickly.

Lin Houshou instantly confirmed and chose the Dun Jia Heavenly Book. Teaching one to fish is better than giving one a fish.

This Cultivation Technique could completely subvert his Formation knowledge and allow him to further deepen his understanding of Formations.

A single Fifth-Rank Formation simply couldn’t compare to the Dun Jia Heavenly Book... Lin Shiyan, at this moment, also landed on layers of stone walls. He chose a crimson fire wall. If Lin Shiming were here, he would discover that Lin Shiyan was on the sixth floor.

Moreover, the Cultivation Techniques on it were all beast canons.

“Profound Rank Peak, Heavenly Fire Beast Scripture!”

“I will definitely not let my master down again!” Lin Shiyan murmured, extremely excited, and quickly became immersed!

...Lin Shijin and the other Spirit Beasts also appeared on the fifth and sixth floors respectively!

Among them, Lin Shixing, Lin Shijin, and Lin Shizhu appeared on the sixth floor, while Lin Shicha and Lin Shishui were on the fifth floor!

Lin Shijin obtained the Profound Rank Peak Cold Soul Beast Scripture.

Lin Shixing obtained the Profound Rank Peak Star Body Beast Scripture.

Lin Shizhu obtained the Profound Rank Peak Great Geng Thunder Formation!

Lin Shicha obtained the Profound Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique, Azure Wood Evergreen Scripture.

Lin Shishui obtained the Profound Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique, Profound Water Beast Scripture!

Everyone was richly rewarded. When the eight gathered in front of the Scripture Pavilion, everyone looked at Lin Shiming, immensely excited.

“Second Uncle, set up a Teleportation Array, remember the spatial coordinates, so we can teleport in later!” Lin Shiming said.

From now on, this Small World belonged to the Lin Family. Lin Shiming naturally wanted to claim this Scripture Pavilion as the Lin Family’s Scripture Pavilion, and arrange for Family Cultivators to come whenever there was time.

However, the next moment, Lin Shiming felt a bit vexed. All the Formations set up within Tai Bai Sword Palace would dissipate.

This made Lin Houshou’s expression difficult, and Lin Shiming also sighed.

The treasure map used to enter Tai Bai Sword Palace was a one-time item.

He would have to use Taiyi Sword Grass to get in next time.

“Let’s go, to get the sword ladder!” Unable to obtain more benefits from the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Shiming directly walked towards the sword ladder!
