640: True Lord Ceremony

With the Cultivators with Spiritual Roots arranged, it was time for the Immortal Master's grand ceremony.

Lin Shiming set up two more seats next to the high platform, to the right of his own seat.

"Next is the Immortal Master Ceremony!"

Lin Shiming announced loudly, then made a welcoming gesture.

From a distance, two streaks of Sword Qi shot into the sky: one was the fiery red Sword Intent of fire, and the other was a variant Blood Sword Intent from the Blood Sword Lake.

At this moment, all of the Lin Family's Sword Cultivators were incredibly excited.

Moreover, this Clan Competition was the first time a Sword Trial Assembly had been held.

Now, with two Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators, they were naturally thrilled.

As for the fact that neither of the two Sword Cultivators were Lin Family members, it only made them more determined.

It was as if they swore not to rest until they became Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators.

The white-robed old man's spirit avatar, formed by the Autumn Blood Sword, sat in the first seat.

The Yan Yang Sword transformed into a fiery red middle-aged Martial Artist, his muscles prominent, looking like a Body Cultivator.

Lin Shiming was not surprised by the spirit avatars of the two; the Yan Yang Sword had a boisterous personality and would deliberately pretend to be powerful.

The Autumn Blood Sword, having vast experience, would always remain as calm as an ancient well.

"Gift presentation!" This time, Lin Shijie stepped forward. As the Lin Family's Golden Core Sword Cultivator, second only to Lin Shiming, he now came out.

Although it was an internal ceremony, the rules of the Cultivation World could not be abandoned.

The highest gift-giver for a Nascent Soul power was a Golden Core, and for a Golden Core, it was a Purple Mansion.

Of course, besides Lin Shijie, there were also Lin Zeli and Lin Changxue, corresponding to one Golden Core, one Purple Mansion, and one Foundation Establishment respectively.

The entire Lin Family plaza began to echo with gift-giving announcements that resounded through the clouds.

In the sky, Dragon and Phoenix Bird ice birds reappeared, and fireworks continuously erupted.

One by one, the Lin Family's Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion Cultivators began to present gifts. Although the gifts were not impressive to the Yan Yang Sword and the Autumn Blood Sword, they represented the Lin Family's sincerity.

It also indicated that the Lin Family regarded them as true offerings, not just Magic Treasures.

After the Purple Mansion Cultivators finished, the Lin Family's Golden Core Cultivators began to present their gifts.

"Lin Shitao of the Lin Family congratulates Elder Yan Yang and Elder Autumn Blood on their successful Dao, and specially presents one bottle each of High Grade Tier 5 Crimson Flame Pills and Ice Blue Pills."

"Lin Shimo of the Lin Family congratulates Elder Yan Yang and Elder Autumn Blood on their successful Dao, and specially presents one Tier 5 Dragon demon core and one Tier 5 Tai Gan Shark demon core!"

...After all of the Lin Family's Golden Core Cultivators had offered their congratulations, the Ying Feng Sword, Fei Fu Sword, ming lun sword, and Lei Ming Sword flew over from a distance, also presenting a gift.

Only then did Lin Shiming step forward. Lin Shiming took out two jade boxes.

"Lin Shiming of the Lin Family congratulates Elder Yan Yang and Elder Autumn Blood on their successful Dao, and specially presents one Tier 6 cold jade and one eight-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine!" Lin Shiming announced.

This Tier 6 cold jade was naturally suitable for the Autumn Blood Sword, while the eight-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine was a fire-attributed Spirit Medicine, suitable for the Yan Yang Sword.

The appearance of these two treasures filled the Yan Yang Sword with joy.

This was the first time he had received so many gifts.

So, with a beaming smile, he kept looking at the Ying Feng Sword.

The Ying Feng Sword was the one who disagreed with him the most. At this moment, he also wanted the Ying Feng Sword to know what it meant to be Second Brother Yan Yang.

Here, after Big Brother Autumn Blood, he naturally had to be the second brother.

"Alright, with the gifts concluded, today we will hold a banquet and begin the Immortal Master's lecture!" Lin Shiming continued to organize the Immortal Master's grand ceremony.

Seeing the Yan Yang Sword so happy, he was also satisfied.

With such a large territory, the Lin Family's greatest fear was not other things, but the departure of the Yan Yang Sword and the Autumn Blood Sword.

Now, the Yan Yang Sword's sense of belonging had reached the level of Real Person Jiuxiao.

It was estimated that even if the Taiyi Sword Grass asked the Yan Yang Sword to leave, the latter would have to consider it for a while.

As for the oath of the heavenly dao and the Spirit Contract, they did not restrict how many swords, so today's Immortal Master Ceremony, he did not miss a single step of the process.

The banquet was merely symbolic since the swords did not consume blood food, but he did not miss out on the spirit tea and spirit wine.

After the spirit tea and spirit wine were consumed, the Yan Yang Sword landed in the center of the high platform and began his lecture.

His lecture was different from Lin Shiming's; he spoke of Realm and Cultivation.

Instead, he spoke of the Dao of the Sword. He spoke of his Dao of the Sword, and he spoke of the Sword Intent of fire in his heart.

Lin Shiming initially thought the Yan Yang Sword was just speaking casually and didn't expect much, but the next moment, to his surprise, the Yan Yang Sword condensed five volcanic Sword Intents behind him.

It was the same illusion he had experienced during his Undergoing Tribulation.

He would explain each Sword Domain illusion in detail.

This was like the Sword Intents in the Sword Pavilion coming to life and explaining Sword Intent to the Lin Family's Cultivators.

At this moment, everyone listened with extreme seriousness.

Perhaps their Sword Intent was a bit lacking before, not meeting the standard to enter the Sword Pavilion, and they couldn't even perceive Sword Intent.

But at this moment, under the Sword Intent of fire, they truly felt the formation, condensation, and transformation of Sword Intent.

This included Lin Zeying, who possessed a fire-attributed Heavenly Spiritual Root.

"Sword Intent!" Lin Shiming was somewhat stunned at this moment, because he saw that as time passed, many in the field comprehended the Sword Intent of fire.

This also made Lin Shiming pause.

But very quickly, he looked at Lin Yanjiao.

"Later, add a rule: the Family will establish a Dao Hall for lectures, separate from the Hall of Teachings, inviting various Lin Family Cultivators to teach top-tier techniques or top-tier skills, and it must be primarily practical!"

Lin Shiming said.

Their current Lin Family Hall of Teachings only invited some Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion Cultivators. While it could meet the needs of the Lin Family's Cultivating children, it didn't offer much help to other Lin Family Cultivators.

He had overlooked this before, because apart from him, the lectures given by others in the Lin Family were not particularly effective.

But now he realized that others actually focused on practice, so he should let them teach practical things.

"Good!" Lin Yanjiao was not immersed in the Sword Intent. She had a dual wood-water Spiritual Root and was a Heavenly Illusion Spirit Body, so she wasn't very interested in this Sword Intent, but she understood that this was a very good opportunity.

The grand ceremony lasted for two full days. After the Yan Yang Sword finished his lecture, a polarization appeared in the audience.

Those uninterested in the Dao of the Sword felt relieved, while those who had coveted the Dao of the Sword for a long time were still immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.

However, with the Yan Yang Sword finished, he, along with the Autumn Blood Sword and Ying Feng Sword, flew towards the North Sword Pavilion.

Upon reaching the Sword Pavilion, the Autumn Blood Sword still settled into the topmost position to continue Cultivating, while only the Yan Yang Sword looked at the Ying Feng Sword and the other swords.

"Gentlemen, let me share my experience of achieving the Dao again!" The Yan Yang Sword spoke in an old-fashioned tone.

The corners of the other swords' mouths twitched slightly.

They felt that the Yan Yang Sword was putting on airs.

But they genuinely wanted to listen, even though they had witnessed the Yan Yang Sword's Breakthrough.

However, seeing and hearing him explain it completely was different.

"First, you must work as hard as I do!"

"Second, you must venture into a Secret Realm with Fellow Daoist Lin and acquire more Spirit Medicine."

"Third..."

The Yan Yang Sword began from the very beginning, intending to recount almost all of his deeds...
