590: The situation in the Eastern Region, the magic talisman is coming (two-in-one has been updated
Chapter 593: Situation in the Eastern Region, Arrival of Spirit Talisman Sect (Two-in-One, Updated)
As the rising sun shone brightly, Shuangmu Island welcomed the long-awaited scorching sun.
On the Lin Family square, many Cultivators had gathered at this moment.
This expedition to the Eastern Region involved a total of one thousand Cultivators.
This was because they would need to clear out the entire Chu Country and establish a complete Teleportation Array system.
The leader was naturally Lin Shiming. There were many Golden Core Cultivators in the Eastern Region, especially due to the Cloud Palace Secret Realm. Golden Core Immortal Masters from the South Sea, Southern Border, Northern Plains, and even the Western Desert had all gone to the Eastern Region.
That area was quite chaotic at the moment.
Lin Shiming led the team this time, bringing the Ying Feng Sword and Lei Ming Sword. The remaining swords were left in the South Sea.
After all, something could happen in the Tai Gan Abyss at any time.
Moreover, this time, Real Person Hongye could not go to the Eastern Region together due to her duty to stand guard.
Real Person Hongye had even invited him to the Cloud Palace back then.
But Lin Shiming also knew that most of the Cloud Realm had probably been exploited, and the remaining areas, Cloud Palace and the birthplace of the Innate Spirit Treasure, wouldn't make much difference whether he went early or late.
Furthermore, he estimated that Nascent Soul Cultivators would be guarding the Secret Realm, and it was highly possible they would be collecting tolls inside.
With Nine Leaves True Lord's patient temperament from the Spirit Beast Sect, this was very likely.
That individual was a ruthless person who had schemed against Immortal Master Divine Machine.
In that decisive battle, the Qingxuan Sect was on the verge of destruction, two Late Golden Core Stage Cultivators from the Corpse Refining Sect perished, and one from the Heavenly Demon Sect perished.
That's why the Spirit Beast Sect's golden age followed.
Although the Spirit Beast Sect and Spirit Talisman Sect now divided the Zhao Country, in reality, the Spirit Beast Sect held the power.
And while the Qingxuan Sect had returned, it only controlled a small portion of territory, with another small portion in the Chu Country controlled by the Heavenly Demon Sect.
For the Qingxuan Sect, the opportunities for development were far too limited.
Not to mention the disparity in Nascent Soul True Lords.
Moreover, Lin Shiming always felt that the Spirit Beast Sect was hiding a lot.
After all, the Dao Comprehension Tree back then absorbed insights to help the Spirit Beast Sect Disciples comprehend.
The Golden Core Cultivators of the Spirit Beast Sect were probably far from what they appeared to be back then.
Now, after several hundred years, Lin Shiming had no idea how powerful the Spirit Beast Sect had become.
He only hoped that the Cloud Dragon Demon Emperor of the Qingyun Mountain Range and the Spirit Beast Sect would start fighting.
After all, the Yao Race of the South Sea hated Nine Dragon Island, and the Yao Race of the Eastern Region hated the Spirit Beast Sect.
However, according to the situation he had gathered, it was not as he had imagined.
Lin Shiming shook his head and stopped thinking about it, looking towards the main hall square.
Most people had arrived by now.
Many in the Lin Family wanted to return to the Eastern Region this time, but for the Lin Family, how could they all go back?
The South Sea was now the most important place for the Lin Family.
So this time, Lin Shimo stayed behind. Of course, Lin Shimo was initially unwilling, but he had just broken through; if he didn't consolidate his cultivation, who would?
Coupled with Lin Shiming's promise that he would be allowed to suppress the Eastern Region once the overall situation there was settled, the latter finally nodded in agreement.
For the Lin Family's Hou Generation, Shi Generation, and Ze Generation, the Eastern Region was a source of pain.
The higher the generation, the stronger that feeling was.
After all, their emotional connection to the Eastern Region was deeper. In contrast, the current Chang generation and Yan Generation did not feel as strongly.
Therefore, among this group, most were from the Lin Family's Shi Generation, followed by the Ze Generation.
Among the Golden Core Cultivators, Lin Shijie and Real Person Jiuxiao accompanied Lin Shiming. Lin Shijie, needless to say, was a High Grade Golden Core Cultivator and a Sword Cultivator who had comprehended Sword Genesis Myriad Laws, capable of fighting ordinary Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivators.
As for Real Person Jiuxiao, he also wanted to return to the Eastern Region to take a look.
If possible, he also wanted to visit old acquaintances and see Jiuyang Mountain.
After breaking through to Golden Core, Real Person Jiuxiao had not traveled for a long time.
There were things in the Lin Family that he couldn't let go of: his Disciples, Artifact Refining tasks, and the endlessly profound Artifact Refining techniques. spirit wine no longer required him to search painstakingly, as it was directly delivered to his Immortal Cave.
In addition, Lin Shiming also left Wang Jiao and Golden Wings behind, which could maximize the strength of the Family.
Among the Purple Mansion Cultivators, Late Stage Purple Mansion Lin Houshou, Middle Stage Purple Mansion Lin Shiyi, Late Stage Purple Mansion Lin Shilei, Early Violet Palace Stage Lin Shiyuan, Early Violet Palace Stage Lin Shijin, Early Violet Palace Stage Lin Shiyun, and Early Violet Palace Stage Lin Houyuan were all going.
Lin Zekong, Lin Zecheng, and Lin Xianzhi all wanted to go, but Lin Shiming rejected them again.
This time, even Lin Xianzhi couldn't persuade Lin Shiming.
For Lin Shiming, the Family needed its members protected, and he would only bring the most suitable people this time.
One must know, this trip to the Eastern Region was not without danger.
The attitude of the Spirit Beast Sect, the remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the Qingxuan Sect were all unknowns.
Even the attitude of the Spirit Talisman Sect.
After all, Thunder Talisman True Person of the Spirit Talisman Sect was also in seclusion, attempting to break through to Nascent Soul.
The Spirit Talisman Sect closely followed the Spirit Beast Sect, and Lin Shiming would not be surprised if they had a backup plan.
The Qingxuan Sect, needless to say, had taken away most of the Tai Bai Sword Palace's Legacy, and had also plundered the Tai Bai Sword Palace Small World for a long time in advance, along with the Qingxuan Sect's own foundation.
Lin Shiming would not underestimate them either.
In addition to these Purple Mansion Cultivators, many Purple Mansion Great Demons and Spirit Puppets were brought, as well as one hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators this time, with the rest being Qi Refining Cultivators.
For the Family, some of these Qi Refining Cultivators were close to their end.
The youngest Ze Generation of the Family was already over a hundred years old.
As for the Shi Generation, except for those born later who had not broken through to Foundation Establishment, they had all passed away.
Therefore, among those with an emotional connection to the Eastern Region, the Ze Generation was the most numerous.
When the Lin Family had finished preparing, Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the other side also brought over the war treasure ship.
This Teleportation was not through a regular Teleportation Array.
And for the first departure to the Eastern Region, no Mortals were arranged.
After all, the Lin Family needed to see the situation in Chu Country before knowing anything.
Bringing Mortals would not be as convenient.
The Mortals of Hongye Island would not go to the Eastern Region this time; instead, the Cultivators of Hongye Island would go with the Lin Family.
The Lin Family would allocate some territory to them then.
For Lin Shiming, it was not difficult, as the coastal areas were the habitat of Hongye Island.
For the Lin Family, they would naturally not hold back on this point, leaving half of the coast to them could share some of the pressure from the beast tides.
And for Real Person Hongye, the sea there also allowed them to seek resources in the sea, which might also be an opportunity for them.
On this point, the Lin Family would not let them suffer a loss.
The Immortal Master leading the Hongye Island this time was precisely Real Person Gufeng's personal Disciple, and also the third Golden Core Cultivator on the surface of Hongye Island, Daoist Xu Ye.
"Daoist Xu, time is of the essence. Let's go to the island we've prepared and set up a one-time spirit transport formation!"
Lin Shiming led Daoist Xu Ye, flying towards a nearby Sub-island.
This time, the Ye Family also had a fifth-tier treasure ship. As for the Mortals, they had already been settled on one of the Lin Family's islands.
The remaining Ye Family Cultivators numbered around three hundred.
Among them, over eighty were Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
This was not because the Ye Family couldn't spare more Cultivators, but if the Ye Family spared too many and their strength surpassed that of the Lin Family, then it wouldn't be the Lin Family allocating land to them, but the Ye Family allocating it.
Such a thing, with the Ye Family's style, would naturally not be done.
This was also why Lin Shiming had always trusted Real Person Hongye.
This kind of transaction had begun when he was a Purple Mansion Cultivator, and the other party would not let the Lin Family suffer too great a loss.
The island was a newly moved Sub-island. A one-time spirit transport formation would destroy the island and have a great impact on the environment.
The Lin Family naturally could not implement it on their home island.
By the time Lin Shiming arrived, the entire spirit transport formation was nearing completion, with Lin Houshou personally overseeing it.
With Lin Zelu and Lin Shiyun assisting, it was truly the Lin Family's strongest Formation Master lineup.
"Daoist Xu, this spirit transport formation is our Lin Family's first time using it. Perhaps Fellow Daoist could inspect it!" Lin Shiming said.
The latter also nodded, took out a mirror Magic Treasure, and indeed began to examine it.
Both Teleportation Arrays and spirit transport formations were major formations related to space, so no mistakes could be tolerated. Moreover, the spirit transport formation could not be tested, relying only on the experience of a seasoned expert.
After watching for a full half an incense stick of time, Daoist Xu Ye finally nodded.
The two spirit boats also landed on the spirit transport formation.
As the entire island lit up with dazzling spiritual light, beams of white light enveloped both spirit boats.
The spirit boats seemed to travel through time and space, reappearing on a huge mountain peak.
Lin Shiming was no stranger to this mountain peak; it was Jiuyang Peak.
However, Jiuyang Peak was quite lively, which Lin Shiming had not expected.
Real Person Jiuxiao also stepped down from the spirit boat at this moment.
This was his old home. Although he didn't care much about it, he had lived here for a long time after all.
Now, many Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Qi Refining Cultivators were seen on Jiuyang Mountain.
Jiuyang Mountain had a total of nine peaks, and each peak gathered a small force.
As soon as Real Person Jiuxiao released his spiritual might, all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators there immediately knelt down.
"Let whoever is in charge here come out. I will only wait for half an incense stick of time!" Real Person Jiuxiao said.
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately echoed like thunder throughout Jiuyang Mountain.
And it wasn't long before a figure fled from the main hall of the mountain peak, heading into the distance.
He transformed into a blood escape, fleeing extremely fast!
However, no matter how fast he was, he was no match for a Golden Core Immortal Master's Magic Treasure.
A Soul Suppressing Tower directly pressed down.
Without any room for negotiation, the bloody shadow was directly absorbed into it.
"Immortal Master, spare our lives! We are all here by the order of Daoist Qinghong. They all said you had gone far away!" Several Foundation Establishment Cultivators immediately began to plead.
However, their pleas still seemed like those of dead men in Real Person Jiuxiao's eyes.
He did not reply, only looking at the Soul Suppressing Tower.
The Soul Suppressing Tower had the function of soul capture, which was almost a must-have for the Lin Family's Golden Core and Purple Mansion Cultivators. Real Person Jiuxiao, having joined the Lin Family for so long, was absolutely reliable, so he was naturally given a Soul Suppressing Tower.
"It was the Heavenly Demon Sect's order, but before the Heavenly Demon Sect could gather and head to the South Sea from here, the Heavenly Demon Sect was destroyed. This Daoist Qinghong, to be honest, was an old acquaintance of mine!" Real Person Jiuxiao said with some anger.
He felt nothing about being intercepted by the Heavenly Demon Sect, but being blocked by a former Artifact Refining friend was what pained him the most.
"Shiming, it seems the remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect are now divided into two parts. One part has entered the Wei Country where the Corpse Refining Sect is located, and the other part has entered the Outer Sea. There are even remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect in many Profound Rank Secret Realms and Yellow Rank Secret Realms!" Real Person Jiuxiao introduced.
This news was definitely not good for the Lin Family.
The Heavenly Demon Sect's Legacy was not weak to begin with, and mixed with the Corpse Refining Sect, they would definitely be no less formidable than the Three Sects of Zhao Country back then.
"Moreover, a Nascent Soul True Lord has also appeared in the Corpse Refining Sect!" Real Person Jiuxiao said again.
As these words were spoken, Lin Shiming also fell silent.
The Heavenly Demon Sect could not be completely annihilated, or it would definitely cause endless trouble.
And with a True Lord in the Corpse Refining Sect, the Lin Family could not go to war with them either.
The most important thing at hand was to break through to Nascent Soul as soon as possible.
"No matter, let's first establish a foothold in the Eastern Region!"
Lin Shiming said after a moment of silence.
At the same time, Lin Shiming waved his hand, instructing the Lin Family Cultivators to first deal with the other Cultivators on Jiuyang Mountain.
For those Cultivators, daring to trespass into a Purple Mansion Immortal Master's residence was already a capital offense.
"First, to Yunzhou!" Lin Shiming continued.
The Lin Family had many Purple Mansion Cultivators. Those Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Qi Refining Cultivators were all Loose Cultivators, no match for them, and were quickly dealt with.
Lin Shiming also spoke directly.
However, he did not act immediately, but instead lingered on Jiuyang Mountain for a while.
The commotion this time would certainly be significant, and the Lin Family would not be able to return to the Eastern Region through this Teleportation Array in the future.
The Lin Family had many Formation Masters this time, so they didn't need to rely on this Teleportation Array.
Real Person Jiuxiao personally swung his sword, destroying the Teleportation Array.
Then he swung his sword again, leveling the peak of Jiuyang Mountain.
He didn't want Jiuyang Mountain to continue being occupied by petty individuals.
As the mountaintop was leveled, many Dark Blood Bats flew out.
However, these Dark Blood Bats did not recognize Real Person Jiuxiao, nor did they recognize Lin Shiming.
Apparently, the Dark Night Blood Bat King had already been killed, and these Blood Bats were newly born.
Real Person Jiuxiao still took out a wind bag and began to collect those Blood Bats.
These Blood Bats were only third-tier, equivalent to the strength of Foundation Establishment Cultivators. How could they resist Real Person Jiuxiao?
They were quickly all collected by Real Person Jiuxiao.
"Shiming, let's go. There's finally nothing left to miss here!" Real Person Jiuxiao might have originally had the idea of leaving behind a Legacy residence.
Now it was completely gone, made a mess by a bunch of petty individuals, which simply ruined the mountain's essence.
Moreover, they showed such disrespect to a Senior. He had only been rumored to be missing, and these people dared to be so reckless.
And as Real Person Jiuxiao proposed to leave, a spiritual rainbow suddenly appeared from a distance.
Within the spiritual rainbow, a Middle-aged cultivator in a Daoist Robe soon appeared. This Daoist Robe Cultivator's cultivation was not weak, being at the Middle Stage Golden Core Stage.
However, Lin Shiming had never seen the latter, and the latter had naturally never seen Lin Shiming.
"Your Excellency belongs to which Sect? Why are you attacking my Spirit Talisman Sect?" The Middle-aged cultivator's tone was full of unfriendliness.
"Lin Shiming of Yunzhou. What? Do you want to fight?" Lin Shiming showed no fear in the face of such an unfriendly person.
This time, he also, for once, did not conceal his name.
This time, the Lin Family was returning as kings, with no need to hide anything.
If they hid, they would lose the meaning of this trip.
So this time, no matter who Lin Shiming encountered, he would not retreat a single step.
"What big words! This is Zhao Country, the territory of my Spirit Talisman Sect, and Fellow Daoist, do you really think my Spirit Beast Sect has no one?"
