The entire Sword Pavilion’s formation was shaking.
She wanted to speak, but saw Lin Shiming at the doorway.
"Continue to consolidate your Sword Intent!" Lin Shiming raised his head to remind.
The next moment, he only felt the entire Sword Pavilion’s Spiritual Energy beginning to converge, and Lin Zeli was sitting on the Carved Sword Stone, which shocked Lin Shiming greatly!
It was clear that Foundation Establishment had begun!
Foundation Establishment on the Carved Sword Stone was naturally fraught with danger!
Lin Shiming dared not delay and took out two Foundation Establishment Pills from his Storage Bag, flying them towards Lin Zeli.
Once Foundation Establishment began, it was naturally not possible to casually change locations.
However, if the Foundation Establishment were successful, Lin Zeli would become the youngest cultivator in the Lin Family to achieve Foundation Establishment, as well as the first to master Sword Intent.
At the same time, Lin Shiming’s Sword Intent headed toward Lin Zeli, wishing to shield him from the Sword Intent of other Sword Ladders. With a total of eighteen steps and eighteen types of Sword Intents, even if one was similar to Lin Zeli’s, there were still seventeen that could potentially affect him.
However, what he did not expect was that the Flaming Sword had already taken a step ahead to guard behind Lin Zeli.
"Senior Flaming Sword, trouble you!" Lin Shiming quickly bowed in thanks, feeling very reassured by the Flaming Sword’s strength in protecting Lin Zeli.
"It’s nothing!" the Flaming Sword shook its head, continuing to look serious.
Meanwhile, Lin Zeli continued to absorb Spiritual Energy, starting his lengthy Foundation Establishment.
After waiting half a day, Lin Shiming also exited the Sword Pavilion.
He also ordered the Sword Pavilion to be sealed, temporarily closed to the outside.
For the Lin Family, a cultivator who had comprehended Sword Intent represented stronger combat abilities and the potential to go further in the future. Moreover, with his Gold Water Dual Spirit Root and the cultivation of a Profound Rank Supreme Grade Technique, Golden Core was a significant possibility.
Having left the Sword Pavilion, Lin Shiming returned to the Cave Heaven World and sat on a high platform to begin cultivating the Kuimu Sword Canon.
With his conviction set in motion, cycle after cycle repeated endlessly, and the True Yuan within his body kept growing, while Sword Origin kept emerging from the Sword Path Grass Seed.
In his hand appeared a Pill Bottle, from which he poured a red Elixir Pill, and instantly a surge of Spiritual Energy rushed towards him.
The Elixir Pill was a Red Lotus Pill, and moreover, this one was of excellent quality, with Spirit Patterns on it, making it far more precious than ordinary elixirs.
Even though Lin Shitao had made many Spirit Pills, only a few had Pill Patterns.
This Red Lotus Pill was one of them. Consuming the Spirit Pill, he felt a pure surge of Spiritual Energy rushing into his body, passing through the Purple Mansion and circulating throughout his being.
The vast Spiritual Energy made him dare not slacken in the slightest.
Soon, Lin Shiming fell into deep cultivation.
And the entire Cave Heaven World was left with only the Red-haired Demon Monkey, idly counting the Spirit Peaches.
For each count, one less would remain, until no peaches were left on the Spirit Peach Tree, after which it took out the Magical Treasure Spiritual Cauldron and continued absorbing the Spiritual Fire.
As spring left and autumn came, four years passed by, a vast Sword Intent suddenly sprang into existence while rings of Spirit Might fiercely spread out, and the aura of a Purple Mansion Middle Stage also settled over the entire Cave Heaven World.
Lin Shiming opened his eyes as the True Yuan rolling within his body transformed into cascades of green Spirit Shadows spreading out.

"Finally, Purple Mansion Middle Stage!" Lin Shiming stood up, his face filled with joy and a touch of good fortune.
The difficulty of breaking through from Early Stage Purple Mansion to Middle Stage Purple Mansion was much more challenging than advancing from Foundation Establishment. Even though he had awakened his Spiritual Body and cultivated an Earth Rank Technique, it was only after consuming over a dozen Red Lotus Pills that he finally broke through to Middle Stage Purple Mansion.
Otherwise, his breakthrough would have been delayed much further.
And there was only half a year left until the opening of the Purple Sun Secret Realm.
However, the advance in his cultivation level gave him more confidence. Previously, when using the Crescent Moon Guard Blade and the Wind Chasing Boots, two Superior Grade Magical Treasures, the strain was considerable. Now, even if he used the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda and Wind Chasing Boots, the pressure would be significantly less.
Moreover, upon inspecting his inner body, he saw that the Sword Origin in the Sword Path Grass Seed was much more abundant, more than tripling from before.
And the Taiyi Sword Grass nurtured within had also grown much more robust, promising even greater power when deployed again.
Especially the Heaven-Slaying three forms, at this moment, Shiming was fully confident in challenging a Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivator.
Amid his excitement, he could only see in the distance, the Star Spirit Clam leaping out of the lake’s surface, beginning to yelp incessantly, while over at the swamp, a figure with two single horns, three legs under its belly, and covered in black scales, a mighty Wang Jiao began to circle in the sky.
Roar, roar, roar!
The clam was particularly joyful and even began transmitting its thoughts to Lin Shiming through the Soul Binding Forbidden:
"Thank you, master!"
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
The divine soul of Wang Jiao had obviously become much stronger; previously, its transmissions were dull and lifeless, but now they were indistinguishable from a normal person’s speech.
However, the next moment, it started yelling, "Master, I want Superior Grade Spirit Stones, I want Star Spirit Fluff, I want Beast Nurturing Pills, I want to drink Spiritual Wine, and I want to eat monkey meat!!!"
Wang Jiao roared excitedly, its eyes, large as lanterns, sweeping incessantly around.
As if everything in the Cave Heaven World was set to enter its maw.
Especially at this moment, under the Fuling Fiery Mulberry Fruit tree, the Red-haired was eagerly consuming Spiritual Fire, also going berserk.
Wang Jiao’s breakthrough clearly came before the Red-haired’s, and it seemed that they might have crossed paths.
Otherwise, with the Red-haired Demon Monkey’s temperament, it would not be striving and grumbling like this right now, staying within half a meter of the Fuling Fiery Mulberry Fruit tree; under normal circumstances, it would have already approached Shiming, demanding food and drink, howling incessantly!
Lin Shiming stepped down from the high platform and also charged towards Wang Jiao; with his Body Cultivation strength at Purple Mansion Middle Stage, even though Wang Jiao was a Flood Dragon of just Fourth Rank Early Stage, he figured it shouldn’t be too shabby.
Just perfect for a trial!
A man and a dragon sparred in the sky, with spirit light scattering and booming noises continually erupting.
Wang Jiao was also very excited; even though there were no vocal transmissions from the Soul Binding Forbidden, the fluctuations from its divine soul made it clear to Lin Shiming that it was constantly shouting that it was thanks to the master himself for initiating the fight, seeking to go against him.
Its attacks grew increasingly forceful, creating sonic booms with each powerful swipe of its tail.
Especially that third claw, which, every time it flashed by, directly opened rifts in the void.
Lin Shiming was also somewhat surprised by Wang Jiao’s power, which far exceeded his expectations.
To think, despite his starlight-tempered body reaching the Purple Mansion Middle Stage, he still had some difficulty subduing Wang Jiao and ultimately had to rely on his Sword Intent to suppress it in secret.
Of course, he understood that this was because Wang Jiao hadn’t used its venom or venomous horn; if it had fought with all its power, a Purple Mansion Middle Stage cultivator might not necessarily withstand Wang Jiao.
"Alright, here are your Spirit Pills, Spiritual Wine, and Spirit Stones!" Lin Shiming took out a large quantity of Superior Grade Spirit Stones and Beast Nurturing Pills along with Spirit Beast meat.
This Spirit Beast meat was from the Buddha Eagle; feeding it to a few beasts wouldn’t be considered wasteful.
As Wang Jiao was comparable to Purple Mansion Middle Stage combat power, he naturally wouldn’t be stingy with it.
Upon receiving these, Wang Jiao let out a couple of satisfying roars and circled once more in the sky, particularly taking a circle around the Red-haired Demon Monkey before landing mightily beside the Golden Dragon Fruit tree.
Lin Shiming couldn’t help but chuckle, and seeing the Red-haired Demon Monkey off in the distance, he also sent over a Storage Bag. The Red-haired Demon Monkey was a force to be reckoned with in the Purple Sun Secret Realm, working in tandem with the golden light brick for respectable power.
After looking at the Red-haired Demon Monkey, Lin Shiming turned his attention to the Star Spirit Clam.
The Star Spirit Clam had broken through as well; in this moment, its body had doubled in size yet again, with even more tentacles. Upon seeing Lin Shiming, it also started to demand Spirit Soil and Spirit Water.
"Master, I want Spirit Soil and Spirit Water, Fourth Rank ones!"
Lin Shiming’s face darkened, wondering when the Star Spirit Clam learned to haggle like the Red-haired Demon Monkey and even knew to bargain!
But the next moment, upon seeing the Star Spirit Fluff exhaled by the clam, his eyes burned with desire.
The Star Spirit Fluff radiated a terrifying vitality, its color transitioning from starlight to a dense, radiant glow.
These fluffs of Star Spirit were evidently produced after consuming Fifth Rank Spirit Water and Spirit Soil; at this moment, Lin Shiming even felt the opportunity to break through to the Purple Mansion Late Stage as a Body Cultivator.
Lin Shiming carefully sealed the Star Spirit Fluff in a Jade Box and then generously took out a large amount of Fourth Rank Spirit Water and Spirit Soil.
