```
"Wait!" Xie An looked towards the sky, where lofty and transcendent sword shadows were now brilliantly captivating, soaring heavenwards.
```
```
"Sword shadows will vanish, and the fog around the Sword Tomb will disperse a path for treasure-seeking. That’s when our opportunity arises!!"
```
```
"Each person who enters the path will experience it differently, and when they co out, it will an they have found a sword in the Sword Mountain!"
```
```
After Xie An finished speaking, a flash of sharpness passed through his eyes, and his face bore an unrivaled confidence.
```
```
In this Sword Tomb, who could compare to them, cultivators who had at least grasped the Sword Light Transformation, not to ntion that they held the Sword Imbuent Technique, a secret technique?
```
```
Hearing this, Lin Shiming nodded in agreent and did not question further.
```
```
Instead, he found a small hilltop and began to assess the cultivators from the other sects.
```
```
The entire Myriad Swords Tomb was inhabited only by cultivators of four sects, which he found exceptionally unusual.
```
```
The Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect, even if they had few sword cultivators, would not simply let the righteous Four Sects obtain rare swords and magical treasures here.
```
```
Particularly, the three sects of the Zhao Kingdom, led by the Qingxuan Sect.
```
```
At this mont, Lin Shiming wished to inquire about the news of the Four Sects, but realized he knew too few of their cultivators; even Lin Xianzhi, after years of cultivation, could recognize quite a few cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Peak of Qingxuan Sect, which was already decent for making connections.
```
```
As for asking the other disciples of Zi Xuan Hermit, he pondered for a mont then gave up the idea. If Xie An was this excited, it was likely the others felt the sa.
```
```
To blend in, he even had to pretend, like everyone else, to gaze at the sword shadows in the sky, waiting.
```
```
In reality, part of his attention was already on the head figures of the other sects’ cultivators.
```
```
Leading the Qingxuan Sect was Brother Zhao from Shen Ji Peak, Zhao Wuji. It was said that he was not only a Heavenly Spirit Root but also had the strength of the Foundation Establishnt pinnacle, and was a direct disciple of Shen Ji True Person.
```
```
The disciple of a Golden Core True Person, one can imagine his status!
```
```
Even soone as strong as Chen Daoyuan was exceedingly respectful towards him.
```
```
Besides Brother Zhao, there was another white-robed brother whom the Qingxuan Sect’s cultivators had never seen before, but his close relationship with Zhao Wuji suggested that his strength and cultivation level were certainly of the third-rank pinnacle.
```
```
The leading cultivator of the Spirit Beast Sect was a man with a hooked nose nad Huang Yu. He sat upon a Golden Roc, and his cultivation was exceedingly high, holding the most authority among the Spirit Beast Sect’s cultivators.
```
```
This man, Lin Shiming had seen before in Jiuye City.
```
```
The cultivators from the Wanjian Sect were led by a middle-aged man with a square face nad Wan Changqing, most notably characterized by the three different-sized swords behind his back—the smallest rely over a foot long and the largest a full five feet!
```
```
His stature was hardly different from them.
```
```
The leading cultivator from the Spirit Talisman Sect was a young girl dressed in a Heavenly Talisman robe with a red mole on her brow.
```
```
Nad Ying Hongyue, she too was a disciple of a Golden Core Cultivator from the Spirit Talisman Sect.
```
```
Lin Shiming continually appraised the cultivators around him. Though not all cultivators entering the minor world were here, they represented the majority. To him, anyone at the Foundation Establishnt pinnacle was soone he would not want to antagonize, and even sowhat powerful late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivators should be avoided.
```
```
To stand out now and offend soone presented risks he considered unwise to take.
```
```
After all, he had co simply to go through the motions.
```
```
As Lin Shiming continued to commit the traits of nurous cultivators to mory, he made a silent decision only to demonstrate the power of a Middle Stage Foundation Establishnt disciple.
```
```
In the sky, the sword shadows had reached their peak of brilliance.
```
```
Streams of sword light cast reflections throughout the ages, and scenes of sword shadows surged magnificently.
```
```
Finally, at a certain mont, they reached their zenith.
```
```
As if all their strength had been drained, the sword shadows suddenly retreated towards the Sword Mountain.
```
```
Like a high tide slowly ebbing away.
```
```
And at this mont, all the cultivators suddenly beca eager, readying themselves to enter the Myriad Swords Tomb and seek an unparalleled legendary sword!
```
```
...
```
```
Atop Sword Mountain, twilight settled heavy, cloaked in black mist with scant light piercing through.
```
```
As the sky’s sword light gradually descended, it slowly retracted into dozens of swords.
```
```
These swords of the Sword Tomb, each floating in midair, so standing, so lying down, so drawn, so sheathed!
```
```
The next mont.
```
```
A buzzing sound!
```
```
All the swords began to tremble, issuing crisp sounds of sword ringing.
```
```
These Spirit Swords seed to co alive, beginning their dance.
```
```
"Another thirty years..." A hoarse sigh echoed.
```
```
"Yong Ye, will you lower the difficulty this ti?" A questioning voice erged nearby.
```
```
"I suppose, but not by much..." Another voice agreed.
```
```
"Why lower the difficulty? Are we, who can communicate with spirits, supposed to be approached by commoners?"
"Fla Yang, it’s precisely because everyone thinks like you that for these thousands of years, only we have remained here!"
"That’s you. If there is no one capable of inheriting the legacy, can’t we forge a true path of the sword immortals ourselves? You should know there is a Spirit Clan in the Spirit Realm!"
"Enough, stop arguing. Have you all felt it? This ti, a sword sheath has appeared!"
```
At these words, imdiately in the void, dozens of swords began to tremble even more violently.
Even streaks of sword light appeared in the void.
As if to confirm sothing, the next mont a chorus of sword cries filled the air.
Sword lights evolved and condensed.
In the territory of Zhao Kingdom, the extrely rare phenona of sword light taking form and sword Qi condensing into threads, were easily perford under the influence of these Spirit Swords.
For thousands of years, these swords had not been at peace.
"Has soone from the Taibai Sword Palace returned?" After a long while, another question arose.
"No, it should be that the thod to break into the Purple Mansion with the Soul Summoning Sword has been obtained by soone!"
At these words, many swords began to calm down.
The sword sheath technique was originally the most ancient thod of the Taibai Sword Sect, intended for taking away the Soul Summoning Sword from the Myriad Swords Tomb.
To nurture the sword with one’s body, using the Spirit Platform as lamp oil.
Then to bequeath it to the descendants, but over these many years, the decline of the Taibai Sword Sect made these Soul Summoning Swords forget.
Undoubtedly, the sword sheath was their opportunity; however, similarly, once outside, they could still possibly fall victim to Golden Core gathering secret techniques.
"I must try!" Another voice spoke up.
"If they can take one of my strikes, then what does it matter if they take for their Golden Core gathering?"
At this ti, the voice that had been sighing for thirty years spoke up again:
"Have you not noticed? This ti, Senior Herbalist has also ascended to reflect in the sky."
At these words, many swords in the void turned their gaze in one direction.
Only then did they rember that during the reflection, the once indifferent Senior Herbalist, who had maintained the guard at the Divine Mountain, had also begun his skyward ascent.
And his presence almost covered more than half of the small world’s secret realm.
Such skill was not sothing these Fifth Rank magical treasures, the Soul Summoning Swords, could manifest.
...
Outside Sword Mountain, the sword shadows disappeared.
The entire Sword Tomb returned to peace, revealing its black mountain body.
Black mist began to roll, gathering and condensing, denser in so places and thinner in others.
This also created a path tens of zhang long for climbing the mountain.
As everyone watched the changes of the Sword Tomb, nobody moved first; while the mist had yet to clear, they could only look towards the Sword Tomb, hoping to spot a peerless sword from outside the mountain.
Those who could stay here were rather obsessed with treasure hunting, but they were also very realistic about their capabilities.
On the contrary, the people from the Wanjian Sect, carrying heavy swords, seed intent on leading the way.
"Everyone, follow up the mountain to search for swords!" Chen Daoyuan walked ahead of Lin Shiming and others, glanced back at their eyes, then proceeded to take the lead.
Eleven individuals also swiftly moved forward.
They certainly had no intention of lagging behind the Wanjian Sect.
As everyone prepared, the pathway finally ford, revealing a black staircase filled with Spirit Swords.
It was sowhat similar to the Ascending Immortal Ladder of the Qingxuan Sect.
Huang Yu was the first to step onto the staircase, taking large strides. Then sothing miraculous occurred; from the outside, Huang Yu’s figure could no longer be seen.
Clearly, he had entered the Sword Tomb and ascended Sword Mountain.
As more and more cultivators from the Wanjian Sect entered, what Lin Shiming did not expect was that Xie An was walking last, along with Ye Changyuan from the Ye Family.
Lin Shiming was sowhat surprised, but on second thought, it seed normal.
At the sa ti, he beca clearer about Zi Xuan Hermit’s arrangents.
Outwardly, he moved closer to Lin Xianzhi, just as descendants would during the encounter with a secret realm, so Lin Shiming acted generously.
Since ascending the ladder would separate them, he had to gather Lin Xianzhi into his Cave Heaven at the first opportunity.
