Inside the Grotto-heaven, the stars in the sky were exceptionally bright, with each star casting down a beam of light.

These beams corresponded one-to-one with the pavilions above the Spirit Lake.

The Star Spirit Shell then transmitted countless Star Lunar Essence into Lin Shiming, who was inside the pavilion.

At this moment, his body was completely covered in starlight, and the star map on his skin was fully visible.

Beside him, a stick of sandalwood incense burned out, and Old Wood spoke softly.

“Master!”

“Master!”

Lin Shiming also awoke from his Cultivation, and the starlight immediately dissipated.

As he sensed his body, only three Grotto-heavens were filled, but he still shook his head.

Even with the Star Lunar Essence, he had only filled three Physical Body Grotto-heavens, still a distance away from the Late Golden Core Stage.

However, for Lin Shiming, such progress in a month was not insignificant.

“Master, the date has arrived,” the Wood Demon reminded him from the side.

This was something Lin Shiming had instructed it to do.

Otherwise, if the battle ended, it would be a minor issue for other Immortal Masters to question him, but a major issue if the South Sea was occupied.

After all, many of the Lin Family’s Opportunities were currently in the South Sea. If the South Sea were lost, the Lin Family’s Nascent Soul foundation would be more than halved.

“How has your Cultivation been recently?” Lin Shiming asked.

“Replying to Master, everything is progressing smoothly, but there is still some distance to go before reaching the Mid Purple Mansion Realm!” the Wood Demon replied.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming couldn’t help but sigh.

Among his Spirit Beasts, Old Wood was the slowest in Cultivation, but there was nothing that could be done, as he was just an ordinary Dao Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Even if the old tree once blossomed and was reborn by heavenly lightning, it still couldn’t change its inherent weakness as a Spirit Plant.

Lin Shiming could only pray that by observing the nascent soul fruit tree, he might discover some other clues.

After looking at the Wood Demon, Lin Shiming then looked at the other side of the Grotto-heaven, where crimson Sword Qi surged continuously, even dispersing the starlight.

A Sword Intent, condensed to a tangible form, subtly swept towards him. Only by activating the Book of Hidden Paths Spirit Treasure was Lin Shiming able to block it.

Otherwise, he himself would have been affected by the Sword Intent.

“Senior Qiu Xue must be close to success!” Lin Shiming murmured, looking at the distant Blood Sword Lake and the nearly formed sword tip.

In the end, he could only sigh.

Now, there was only one day left until the agreed-upon date.

Lin Shiming walked out of the Grotto-heaven, only to find that many people were waiting in the Lin Family’s courtyard.

And at the entrance of his room, there were many message Jade Slips.

Lin Shiming pushed open the door and walked out.

In the courtyard, besides Lin Family members like Lin Shijie, there was also Immortal Master Xuanji of Thousand Machine Island, as well as the sisters Zhao Fuling and Zhao Yulin from Tianliu Island, and two other island masters from branch islands.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming was startled.

After all, the current Blood Coral Alliance Leader, True Lord Xueshan, was coming to him, which was quite a matter.

Especially the Zhao Family of Tianliu Island, which had an ambiguous relationship with the Coral Alliance Zhao Family.

“We all want to secure a fallback for our families. My Thousand Machine Island is willing to offer a Golden Core Puppet, and Fairy Zhao is also willing to offer a fifth-grade wood spirit essence,” Immortal Master Xuanji said directly.

The remaining two island masters also made their offers.

At this moment, there was no longer any concealment. They knew that the great war was imminent, and there was no time to delay.

“True Lord Xueshan’s path is better, isn’t it?” Lin Shiming asked, probing.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, True Lord Xueshan’s path is not suitable for us. They are going to the Northern Plains, and our Mortals might not be able to adapt,” Immortal Master Xuanji said.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming understood that True Lord Xueshan had probably taken many people, but was unwilling to take them. So she sent them over.

This seemed to be the intention of these islands leaning towards the Lin Family. Lin Shiming, seeing this, did not hesitate, as there was truly no time now:

“Each of you arrange a fifth-grade spirit boat to Shuangmu Island and await news there!”

Lin Shiming said.

He then had Lin Shijie make the arrangements.

“Shimo, you all prepare as well. This operation has our deployment,” Lin Shiming then looked at Lin Shimo.

Except for a few Nascent Soul True Lords, no one else knew that this was a decisive battle. However, each force would receive news that this deployment included them.

After everything was ready, Lin Shiming also headed towards the South Immortal Hall.

The gathering place was still the South Immortal Hall.

At this moment, the entrance of the main hall was even more heavily guarded. This time, not only were Purple Mansion Cultivators guarding outside the hall, but also more than a dozen Golden Core Immortal Masters were waiting outside. They all bowed when they saw Lin Shiming.

They naturally held great respect for the only one who could enter the hall for discussions.

Inside the palace, it was still much the same as a month ago.

However, the seats and the Cultivators inside had changed.

The leftmost position at the very top was no longer occupied by True Lord Xueshan, but by a female True Lord. She wore a blood coral mask, revealing only one eye, which contained an inexpressible sense of vicissitude.

A person’s name involuntarily appeared in Lin Shiming’s mind.

“Lord Coral!”

The founder of the Coral Alliance.

Lin Shiming slightly cupped his hands in a salute, then found the last seat on the left.

At this moment, several unfamiliar faces were present in the hall. Among them, the most familiar to Lin Shiming were Golden Cicada Child and Rakshasa Demon Child.

One was a golden-robed monk, the other a demonic-patterned child, but both clearly exuded Nascent Soul Qi.

And they seemed to have only recently achieved Breakthrough, yet their deterrent force on Lin Shiming was equally strong.

Golden Cicada Child continuously spoke with Golden Light True Buddha, while Rakshasa Demon Child did not interact much with Blood Fiend Demon Lord.

He merely closed his eyes slightly. For everyone present, the upcoming battle was crucial for the South Sea, and there was no room for any mistakes.

People continued to enter the main hall. For example, Old Woman Qingyu was followed by a Fellow Daoist with a human body and a stone head, while Lord Tian Yang had a crimson broadsword on his back.

When True Lord Chilan arrived with a figure in a green Daoist robe, the entire hall was finally complete.

“Everyone, the Tai Gan Mist is almost at our designated location. Midnight will be the time to activate the Spirit Transportation Array. Except for the agreed-upon Cultivators, all other Cultivators must hold their ground on Yunyue Immortal Island, absolutely defending it and holding back more Demon Emperors!”

“Additionally, as per custom, they will first send out Demon Emperors according to our arrangements. This time, we will also send out three Demon Emperors, and we must kill two of the first three Demon Emperors they send out!”

“Only then can we ensure the success of our operation!”

“Of course, it counts as long as they lose their Physical Body and cannot recover their Nascent Soul strength in a short period,” True Lord Xueshan spoke again.

Although Lord Coral had arrived, True Lord Xueshan was still giving the orders.

Everyone understood that the reason Nascent Soul Cultivators were difficult to kill was because their Nascent Soul could escape without fear of any restrictions.

Their current goal was only to incapacitate the Tai Gan Shark Emperor, thereby turning the tide of victory.
