The tranquil sky remained unchanged for an unknown duration, while the peach blossoms in the distance bloomed and withered repeatedly.
This abode in the cave heaven clearly lost the sense of time.
Even Elder Mu and Lei Tong could only perceive the passage of time by visiting the Spirit Lake daily and conversing with the Star Spirit Clam and Water Spirit Shell.
"Five years have passed, the Master's Sword Origin grows ever stronger. Now I can't tell if it's truly the Sword Intent or merely spirit grass on that mountain peak," said the Star Spirit Clam.
"Indeed, the Master is close to a breakthrough. I can no longer sense his presence with my Divine Sense, despite him not using any secret techniques!" Even Elder Mu nodded in agreement.
Were it not for the visible anomalies and the spiritual energy surging towards that direction,
he truly would have believed Lin Shiming had already left the cave heaven.
