591: Lord Lei Fu, the Lin family stayed behind (two-in-one has been refreshed)
Chapter 594: Thunder Talisman Lord, Lin Family Stays Behind (Two-in-one, already refreshed, can be viewed)
The Daoist from the Spirit Talisman Sect was aggressive and spoke with great arrogance.
And he directly pressed down with his Spiritual Pressure.
Lin Shiming, at this moment, was full of doubts. How could one person dare to pressure the four of them?
Although Lin Shijie, Real Person Jiuxiao, and Daoist Xu Ye were only Early Stage Golden Core, this Daoist was clearly only Middle Stage Golden Core.
Moreover, the Spiritual Pressure didn't feel particularly strong to Lin Shiming.
Lin Shiming wouldn't indulge him. His entire body's true essence roared, and his Sword Domain directly manifested, enveloping the Daoist.
Dazzling sword light appeared, and Sword Grass emerged one by one. The Daoist's face instantly turned ashen.
"You ambushed me!" the Daoist immediately exclaimed.
He took out a whisk Magic Treasure and waved it around. Countless whisk threads flew out, isolating the Sword Domain. At the same time, he took out a Thunder Talisman.
As soon as this Thunder Talisman appeared, Lin Shiming's eyes narrowed.
Unlike the Daoist's Spiritual Pressure, which felt ordinary to him, this Thunder Talisman made Lin Shiming extremely wary!
This time, he hadn't brought the Autumn Blood Sword, only the Lei Ming Sword and the Ying Feng Sword.
Lin Shiming naturally couldn't let the opponent unleash the Thunder Talisman.
He flipped his palm, and a cyan mirror appeared in his hand—it was the Azure Fish Mirror.
The mirror fiercely shone towards the Daoist. At the same time, Lin Shiming unleashed his Sword Domain to its fullest extent.
Under the Azure Fish Mirror's illumination, the Daoist's body was momentarily frozen. At the same time, the Sword Domain directly broke through the whisk Magic Treasure.
The Sword Domain was a higher level than Sword Genesis Myriad Laws. Although Lin Shiming's wasn't a true Sword Domain, it was still not something this Daoist could contend with.
With the Sword Domain breaking through his defense, the Daoist was utterly horrified.
At the same time, Lin Shiming shot out an Extreme Blood Needle from his hand, intending to take the Daoist's life.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, please show mercy and spare my Junior Brother!" Just then, a figure appeared in the distance.
"Also, it's been many years. If Fellow Daoist has time, please come and attend my Junior Martial Uncle's Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony!"
The figure, seeing that Lin Shiming still showed no signs of stopping, shouted again.
And at this moment, Lin Shiming felt a certain Aura seemingly locking onto him.
His System prompts also began to appear.
"Please be careful of Thunder Talisman Lord!" The System prompt was very brief.
Only then did Lin Shiming put away the Extreme Blood Needle, while also preparing to open his grotto-heaven at any moment to release the Ying Feng Sword and Lei Ming Sword.
He hadn't expected that this Thunder Talisman Lord had truly achieved a Breakthrough.
Now, the System prompt and the upcoming Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony all proved that Thunder Talisman Lord had achieved a Breakthrough.
And it should have been a recent Breakthrough; otherwise, the one appearing today wouldn't be an Immortal Master, but Thunder Talisman Lord himself.
Moreover, Lin Shiming didn't think this was the Daoist being impolite. Lin Shiming guessed that this was the entire Spirit Talisman Sect testing them.
After all, they had now reached an agreement with the Qingxuan Sect and had given the Lin Family most of the Heavenly Demon Sect's territory in Chu Country.
From the perspective of the Spirit Talisman Sect and the Spirit Beast Sect, this was incomprehensible, unless they had investigated the Lin Family's true strength.
As for why the Qingxuan Sect acted this way, firstly, they valued Lin Shiming's talent, and secondly, they valued the divine sword on Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.
After so many years, if they still didn't know that the strongest Yan Yang Sword was taken by Lin Shiming, then they wouldn't need to live.
Moreover, back then, others cultivated Sword Nurturing Arts, nurturing swords with their bodies, while Lin Shiming truly gained the recognition of the Spirit Communication Sword on Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.
If Lin Shiming had no gains from his second visit, they wouldn't believe it either.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, there's a misunderstanding here. Recently, because my Junior Martial Uncle was undergoing a Breakthrough, Junior Brother Baifu has been overly cautious!" The figure finally appeared in the distance.
Lin Shiming also recognized this figure; it was none other than Divine Talisman True Person of the Spirit Talisman Sect. He was wearing the Spirit Talisman Sect's Daoist robe and still looked spirited.
He was almost the same as a hundred years ago.
However, previously, Lin Shiming addressed him as Senior.
And at that time, Lin Shiming was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, while the Divine Talisman True Person was a Middle Stage Golden Core Immortal Master.
Now, a hundred years later, Lin Shiming was already Middle Stage Golden Core, while Divine Talisman True Person was Late Golden Core Stage.
The gap had narrowed countless times.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, why not come to Spirit Talisman Valley for a chat?" Divine Talisman True Person invited.
"Fellow Daoist Divine Talisman, your valley is too vast. Lin is afraid of getting lost inside!" Lin Shiming replied unceremoniously.
Although the other party had Thunder Talisman Immortal Master, Lin Shiming wasn't without a chance to escape.
He still had ancient treasures and four incomplete Spirit Treasures.
Even Minor Divine Ability had accumulated quite a bit.
His Minor Divine Ability was now enhanced by Minor Divine Ability secret techniques.
The Shadow of Immortal Wood he performed now was much stronger than it was a decade ago.
Moreover, entering Spirit Talisman Valley would be even more dangerous.
"Fellow Daoist Lin worries too much. Junior Brother Baifu, why aren't you apologizing to Fellow Daoist Lin?" Divine Talisman True Person immediately gave an awkward laugh, then looked at Immortal Master Baifu and sternly rebuked him.
At these words, the latter repeatedly cupped his hands in apology.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, it was I who was ignorant and also wrongly blamed Fellow Daoist Lin. I apologize to Fellow Daoist, and also, thank Fellow Daoist for showing mercy!" Immortal Master Baifu's apology was direct and truly sincere.
Then he took out a jade basket from his Storage Pouch. Inside the jade basket were dozens of Ice Crystal Jade Fruits.
This Spirit Fruit was a High Grade fourth-tier Spirit Fruit.
One of these fruits could equal several years of a Purple Mansion Cultivator's arduous Cultivation. This compensation was a valuable treasure.
Lin Shiming nodded at this, accepting it.
In the Eastern Domain, he didn't want to truly make enemies with anyone right now.
After all, he had quite a few enemies in the Eastern Domain, such as the Azure Cloud Fox Clan of the Qingyun Mountain Range, and the Jiaolong Clan of the East Sea.
Adding the remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect, there were indeed many things to be wary of.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, and what are the names of these Fellow Daoists?" Divine Talisman True Person continued to ask.
This question was clearly to probe their origins.
"This is my clan brother, and these two are Guest Elders of the Lin Family!" Lin Shiming introduced.
Lin Shiming estimated that Divine Talisman True Person also knew Real Person Jiuxiao and Lin Shijie.
Perhaps he even knew a little about Daoist Xu Ye.
Divine Talisman True Person pretended not to know, deliberately asking, clearly reminding Lin Shiming not to bring forces from the South Sea.
"This is Divine Talisman True Person of the Spirit Talisman Sect!" Lin Shiming also introduced him to Daoist Xu Ye.
"Fellow Daoist Divine Talisman should also know that our Lin Family previously left the Eastern Domain and went into hiding due to the pressure from the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect. Today, we are going to our ancestral land in Yunzhou, Zhao Country, to rebuild our Ancestral Hall!" Lin Shiming said.
Upon hearing this, Divine Talisman True Person also showed a difficult expression.
"Fellow Daoist Lin's actions are truly righteous, but the Qingyun Market has already fallen, and Yunzhou, where the Lin Family is located, is also covered by many Yao Beasts!"
"It's fine, I will clear them out myself!" Lin Shiming nodded.
Lin Shiming had heard of the Cloud Dragon Jiao Emperor's strength; it seemed to be much stronger than Nine Leaves True Lord. In recent years, the Spirit Beast Sect and the Spirit Talisman Sect had also been retreating steadily.
The current situation in Yunzhou was that most of the territory had fallen into the hands of Yao Beasts.
And because the Cloud Palace was previously within Youzhou's borders,
the Yao Beasts would not give up the neighboring Yunzhou either.
"No matter, it's just for ancestral worship. This time, we are taking the Lin Family members from there to Chu Country!" Lin Shiming didn't conceal anything.
Shuangmu Island in Yunzhou would not be stayed on for the time being, after all, it was close to the Cloud Palace and the Cloud Realm.
The Lin Family's Mortals and Cultivators would suffer.
The most crucial point was that the current Zhao Country could no longer accommodate the Lin Family.
Two Nascent Soul forces, one Golden Core force.
Lin Shiming also suspected that the Qingxuan Sect had hopes of advancing to Nascent Soul; their Legacy was considerable.
So, it was best for the Lin Family to go to Chu Country.
But even so, returning to Shuangmu Island was still necessary.
Although they had previously retaliated against the Chu Family and taken away many of the Family's Mortals, that time was also rushed.
There were still many Lin Family Mortals in Yunzhou; these Mortals, after many years of reproduction, had increased significantly.
After exchanging pleasantries with Divine Talisman True Person for a while, Lin Shiming learned from him that many extraordinary treasures had recently appeared in the Cloud Realm, and five-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine and ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine had also been discovered.
This sight made Lin Shiming somewhat eager; he also wanted to try his luck in the Cloud Realm.
But for now, it was clearly not possible.
"Oh, right, Fellow Daoist Lin, if you're going to Chu Country, please be careful recently. The Corpse Refining Sect, as well as Cultivators from Beiyuan and the Western Desert, seem to have some unusual movements recently!" Divine Talisman True Person said again before leaving.
Bidding farewell to Divine Talisman True Person, Lin Shiming steered the war treasure ship and sailed away into the distance.
And quickly turned into a shadow.
Finally, even the shadow disappeared.
The apology on Immortal Master Baifu's face quickly turned into gloom.
And Divine Talisman True Person's expression grew even colder.
"Senior Brother Divine Talisman, why should we be so deferential to him? Junior Martial Uncle Thunder Talisman has clearly emerged from seclusion!" Immortal Master Baifu was somewhat puzzled and angry.
"You wouldn't think Immortal Master Tianmo and True Person Liuhe are so easy to deal with, would you?"
"Those two are dead!"
"And the war treasure ship, a secret technique that even Nine Leaves True Lord couldn't force out of the Qingxuan Sect, has appeared in the Lin Family. You should know what this means!" Divine Talisman True Person said coldly.
At these words, Immortal Master Baifu hesitated for a while, then finally gritted his teeth and left... On the fifth-tier war treasure ship, Lin Shiming took out the Ice Crystal Jade Fruits and shared them directly with everyone.
The reason Lin Shiming was so generous was largely due to these Ice Crystal Jade Fruits.
This Spirit Fruit was only found in the Eastern Domain; at least, Lin Shiming had never seen it in the South Sea.
Everyone ate the Spirit Fruit, but at this moment, few were in the mood.
They all wanted to go to Yunzhou, to Fangmu Mountain, even though they knew it might be an unrecognizable ruin, they still yearned for it.
This time was different from the last. The Lin Family was seeking revenge and also had to evade the Heavenly Demon Sect, so they were cautious.
This time, however, was a true return home in glory.
This feeling was naturally different.
The fifth-tier war treasure ship was very fast, quickly passing through the clouds. The distant mountain shadows began to look vaguely familiar.
That familiarity came inexplicably strange; after all, after so many years of changes in the landscape, it should logically be very different from before, but at this moment, everyone still felt a sense of familiarity.
Even the clouds in the sky, the distant shadows of flying birds, and the towering trees and wide small rivers.
All felt exceptionally familiar at this moment.
Soon, they finally reached a low hill.
In front of the hill was a huge county town. The city walls were built from massive dark green stones, covered with spiritual patterns.
At the same time, not far from the city walls, many Cultivators were fighting.
The highest cultivated among those Cultivators were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and the lowest were Qi Refining Cultivators. They were cautiously resisting the beast tide!
This scene also made Lin Shiming feel a pang of sadness.
Because those Cultivators were wearing the Lin Family's Daoist robes.
Since the Lin Family's Legacy began, for five or six hundred years, it had never changed.
Clearly, among the Lin Family's Mortals, Cultivators had appeared again.
And they had taken over the Lin Family's baton, beginning to continue protecting the Lin Family's Mortals.
"Seventh Uncle!" Behind Lin Shiming, Lin Zelu was the first to be unable to hold back.
"Go, exterminate these Spirit Beasts!" Lin Shiming ordered.
All the Lin Family members rushed out. At this moment, everyone's eyes were red, and they slaughtered all the Yao Beasts.
The highest cultivated among these Yao Beasts were only third-tier.
For the Lin Family, they naturally couldn't resist and were quickly cleared out.
In the jungle, the leading Foundation Establishment Cultivator, at this moment, looked at the more than a thousand additional Cultivators, also wearing the same spiritual robes as them. In the sky, there was also a huge spirit boat.
That spirit boat was like an island, and in their eyes, it was like a miracle.
The largest spirit boat they had seen in Qingzhou wasn't this big.
"Fifteenth Uncle, is there such a coincidence in this world, wearing the same Daoist robes as us?" Beside the old man was a mischievous young girl.
She looked at Lin Yanyu, her heart now filled with joy.
Because Yunzhou had been abandoned, there were more and more Yao Beasts here. It was said that at the border of Youzhou and Yunzhou, the three sects—Spirit Beast Sect, Qingxuan Sect, and Spirit Talisman Sect—were having trouble holding back the beast tide from the Qingyun Mountain Range.
But because the Mortals couldn't leave, and they couldn't find large spirit boats for transport, they could only build cities and wait for the beast tide to recede.
In fact, what they waited for was not the recession of the beast tide.
But the beast tide getting worse and worse.
Today, three third-tier Yao Beasts had appeared.
Now that a savior had appeared, they were naturally overjoyed. And at this moment, those young Cultivators all thought these were Cultivators from the Qingxuan Sect or the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
"Are you from the Lin Family?" Just then, Lin Houshou spoke.
The old man immediately burst into tears.
"I am Lin Yanyu of the Yan Generation of the Lin Family, an unfilial descendant, temporarily serving as the Lin Family's Vice Family Head. I hope the main Family will not continue to abandon us!" Lin Yanyu cried somewhat.
He was not the first generation of Cultivators who stayed behind.
But a descendant born to the Cultivators who stayed behind. He had Spiritual Roots, and he even had Two Spiritual Roots.
His Cultivation speed was very fast, and he quickly broke through to Foundation Establishment. He also learned about the existence of the Lin Family and its history from his father's mouth.
Decades ago, he personally watched Fangmu Mountain be occupied and then destroyed by the Chu Family.
He returned here, secretly searching for the Lin Family's Mortals and Cultivators, and then, using his status as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he quickly gathered a small Family.
Many times he thought about giving up, but his father firmly told him that the Lin Family would return.
He then believed without doubt.
"Are you Old Ancestor Lin Hou and Seventh Grand Uncle Shiming?" Lin Yanyu asked.
"Precisely!" Lin Shiming and Lin Houshou both nodded simultaneously.
"Changxue, quickly pay your respects to the Old Ancestors! You will have hopes of reaching Golden Core in the future!" Lin Yanyu excitedly said to the girl next to him.
