Chapter 541: 364
On Shuangmu Island, with each booming sound,
At Qinglian Peak and Thousand Wood Peak, countless cultivators extended their Divine Sense.
Suddenly, at some unknown time, another towering peak had risen beside Qinglian Peak!
This newly emerged mountain was even broader and more solid in appearance.
Next to the mountain, Lin Shiming was seen holding a Spirit Seeking Disc, inserting Spirit Arts and placing Spirit Veins.
After much consideration, Lin Shiming decided not to place the Earth Attribute Spirit Vein inside the Cave Heaven. Perhaps he would have for a Pure Spirit Vein of Wood Attribute, but for Earth Attribute, it was better to place it on Shuangmu Island.
It would benefit the cultivators of the Lin Family Clan who practiced Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques, whereas for him, the Spirit Vein mainly provided Spirit Soil and nourished his Lifebound Treasure, the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda!
As the last Spirit Art was cast, a dragon-shaped Spirit Vein roared and surged into the mountain!
Immediately, waves of Spirit Charm spread in all directions.
The majestic Spiritual Energy also alerted even more cultivators of the Lin Family Clan.
Especially those who primarily practiced Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques.
After the Spirit Vein was set up, Lin Shiming leaped to the top of the mountain. Seeing that the pools of Spirit Soil were undisturbed, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
He then took out the pre-prepared Array Plate, enveloping the entire mountain within it.
With the Spirit Vein arrangement complete, Lin Shiming continued to take out the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda and began placing it inside to perform the Spirit Vein Treasure Nourishing Secret Technique.
Similar to the Fire Attribute Spirit Vein setup, there were pillars and platforms connected straight to the ground. As he cast the drawing Spirit Art, dragon roars came from the depths of the earth, and earthen yellow dragons made of Spiritual Energy spiraled upward, breathing out yellow Spirit Light towards his Soul-Suppressing Pagoda.
As the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda settled into the central position, waves of faint light emanated, resonating with the yellow glow. In an instant, the entire Pagoda began to flicker with yellow Spirit Light.
Lin Shiming's handiwork with the Spirit Art was also completed.
This series of Spirit Arts were quite draining, and he immediately took out Superior Grade Spirit Stones to recover.
Meanwhile, at a distance, Lin Houyuan had arrived and was waiting below the Spirit Peak.
"Father!" Seeing this, Lin Shiming also got up, hurriedly greeted him, knowing that his father was concerned about disturbing him.
Seeing Lin Houyuan's body radiating brilliant Spiritual Energy and abundant with Spiritual Energy, which were clear signs of an imminent breakthrough, Lin Shiming was also overjoyed.
Lin Houyuan had been stuck at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage for over thirty years. Now, at last, an opportunity had arrived. Considering Lin Houyuan's age, which was less than one hundred and fifty years, coupled with the Fuling Fiery Mulberry Fruit, the probability of reaching the Purple Mansion was not small.
"Well done!" Lin Houyuan, upon seeing the third mountain peak, nodded his head, utterly delighted.
"Father, please arrange the Formation for this Spirit Vein!" After getting up to speed with the family's recent situation with Lin Houyuan, Lin Shiming spoke.
He needed to go into seclusion. He must breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Middle Stage before the Purple Sun Secret Realm opens.
"Also, the name of this mountain should be given after the third Purple Mansion of the Lin Family!" Before leaving, Lin Shiming added.
Qinglian Peak and Thousand Wood Peak were named after him and his Great Uncle Lin Xianzhi. It made more sense to name the third peak after the third Purple Mansion to inspire the members of the Lin Family Clan.
Furthermore, this was also an affirmation for Lin Shijie, a response from his big brother to Lin Yuqi.
Having said that, Lin Shiming was ready to return to Qinglian Peak to enter seclusion.
However, just at that moment, sword light suddenly shot up from the Sword Pavilion, and a formidable Sword Intent soared to the skies!
Lin Shiming was startled for a moment, and beside him, Lin Houyuan was also taken aback.
Exchanging a glance, both headed toward the Sword Pavilion.
By the time they arrived at the Sword Pavilion, many anxious cultivators had already gathered outside its gate, stretching their necks to try and peer inside.
However, they were all held back by his elder uncle, Lin Houyong.
"Shiming, Houyuan, it's Zeli who has comprehended Sword Intent!" Lin Houyong said excitedly.
It was known that Lin Zeli was still at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, refining his Spiritual Energy, yet he had become the Lin Family's fourth cultivator to comprehend Sword Intent.
Moreover, comprehending Sword Intent within the Sword Pavilion meant that he could receive one of its inheritances.
Lin Shiming was also very interested and made his way inside, quickly spotting Lin Zeli on the fourth step of the Carved Sword Stone inside the Sword Ladder.
Behind Lin Zeli, the Flaming Sword was glowing red as if it too was astonished.
There were many Foundation Establishment cultivators who had comprehended Sword Intent, but it was rare for someone at Qi Cultivation to do so. While the Carved Sword Stone contributed to this success, it also showcased his talent.
Moreover, Lin Zeli had a Dual Spirit Root of Metal and Water and was only twenty-five years old. He was cultivating the same Golden Lotus Daoist Scripture as Lin Xianzhi did.
It was just unclear what the Sword Intent might entail.
In that moment, Lin Zeli, with her eyes gently closed, eyelashes quivering, her hair fluttering in the wind, Sword Intent involuntarily radiating from her.
Clearly, she had fallen into a state of sudden enlightenment, like Lin Shijie before her.
Her gaze lifted, and she found herself on the windy border front, with a sky so overcast it seemed oppressively heavy.

In the distance, the howling sound of iron hooves was like a storm, dense and relentless, causing the very earth to tremble.
Upon the city wall, there stood only a solitary figure, with one sword, one horse.
Resolved, solemn!
At that moment, there was no more apt description than 'undertaking the impossible.'
Lin Zeli felt a stir of compassion and rose, wanting to fight side by side for, in her eyes, they were but mortals!
But the next moment, a fearsome Sword Intent burst forth, countless golden swords dancing in the sky.
Lin Zeli herself was forced back by the shock!
Above the city wall, that lone figure finally raised his eyes and drew his sword!
A sword's cold light chilled nineteen provinces!
Countless swords beamed forward, heading straight for the enemy forces!
One sword to guard the pass, no ten thousand men can open!
An enlightenment arose in Lin Zeli's heart. She looked up once more, only to find herself within the Sword Pavilion, at Qinglian Peak, on Shuangmu Island!
And with a swing of her sword in hand, numerous blades of light flashed out instantly, one sword's radiance incomparably sharp!
