Inside the Grotto-Heaven, Lin Shiming also kept his distance, staying at the previous Spirit Lake location.

A massive blood lake had already appeared there, and all the remaining Spirit Fish had been churned into it, transforming into true Spirit Blood.

A terrifying Sword Intent permeated half of the Grotto-Heaven.

Moreover, Lin Shiming could see that the broken sword was condensing, showing signs of recovery.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming was particularly delighted.

If the Autumn Blood Sword could be fully restored, then breaking through the Heavenly Gate would no longer be a fantasy.

At the very least, the Southern Immortal Alliance would have a chance to contend with the Tai Gan Shark Clan.

Unless absolutely forced, Lin Shiming was unwilling to relocate from the South Sea; after all, the Lin Family had the Heavenly Thunder Secret Realm, the Taihan Secret Realm, a Top-Grade Spirit Stone Mine, and a ten thousand year cold jade mine in the South Sea.

These were the Lin Family's deepest foundations, and as long as the Lin Family was given enough time to develop, becoming the South Sea's foremost power in the future would only be a matter of time.

Inside the Grotto-Heaven, the Sword Intent became increasingly condensed. Eventually, Lin Shiming himself felt he could no longer endure the Sword Intent, and since he wouldn't gain anything by staying, he checked the Formation once more before exiting the Grotto-Heaven.

Lin Shiming didn't know how long the Autumn Blood Sword would take to comprehend, but typically, it would be a matter of months.

At this moment, Lin Shiming had no other options but to wait.

After leaving the Grotto-Heaven, Lin Shiming didn't seek out the other Nascent Soul True Lords; he quietly waited for the Nascent Soul Conference five days later.

He didn't believe that the others had no tricks up their sleeves. The Autumn Blood Sword was his trump card, and he was worried that if he revealed the Autumn Blood Sword too early, the others might retreat or hold back.

At such a critical juncture, even a slight reservation could have a huge impact.

Lin Shiming landed in a courtyard and chose a room. This time, he didn't continue to Cultivate. Instead, he surprisingly began to instruct the Lin Family members, perhaps out of concern that problems might arise.

Or perhaps, he was worried that next time, he might not see a certain person.

The faces of all the Lin Family members became more resolute. Even Lin Zeli was now like the sharpest treasured sword of the Lin Family, ready to be unsheathed at any moment.

Over these five days, new Cultivators constantly appeared on Yunyue Island and in South Immortal City.

Lin Shiming also continuously observed the sea level. The spreading mist, like a great wave, constantly swept outwards.

In addition, countless Tai Gan Sharks emerged from the Tai Gan Mist, constantly provoking everyone.

However, their speed was ultimately no match for the speed of the Teleportation Array, giving the Southern Immortal Alliance members a brief moment to breathe.

These Tai Gan Sharks stopped after advancing several hundred li, and the spread of the Tai Gan Mist slowed down, as if the Tai Gan Mist was somewhat insufficient.

Lin Shiming wanted to continue observing, but the next moment, he felt a terrifying Divine Sense pressing down.

The next moment, he felt a divine sword pierce through his Divine Sense.

It made him involuntarily spit out blood.

He dared not delay, and also condensed his Divine Sense, then quickly retracted it.

Fortunately, the Divine Sense Sword did not follow, seemingly wary of the Nascent Soul Cultivators on this side.

"Nascent Soul Divine Sense!" A trace of lingering fear flashed in Lin Shiming's eyes.

He hadn't expected that the Tai Gan Shark Clan was not only proficient in swordsmanship but also strong in Divine Sense.

If his Divine Sense hadn't been almost on par with a Nascent Soul Divine Sense and enhanced by Cultivating the Soul Fusion Secret Canon, that one sword might have destroyed most of his Divine Sense.

But even so, Lin Shiming had suffered a severe injury.

He could only take out the Soul Suppressing Tower and began to Cultivate the Soul Fusion Secret Canon to recover.

And five days passed in a blink of an eye.

It was also the day of the Nascent Soul Conference that True Lord Xueshan had mentioned.

The Autumn Blood Sword had still not emerged, but that Sword Intent alone made Lin Shiming feel extremely terrifying.

Lin Shiming's Divine Sense, under the recovery of the Soul Fusion Secret Canon and Medicinal Pills, had largely recovered, though not completely.

He then walked alone towards the South Immortal Hall.

In front of the South Immortal Hall, security was now tight, with many Purple Mansion Cultivators guarding the area. Seeing Lin Shiming approach, those Cultivators made way.

Soon, Lin Shiming arrived at the previous hall, where all the True Lords were present.

Seated at the head was still True Lord Xueshan, while on the right were Lord Nine Dragons, True Lord Chilan, and Golden Light True Buddha.

On the left, however, were Blood Fiend Demon Lord, Old Woman Qingyu, True Lord Wudu, and Lord Tian Yang.

Lin Shiming had not met True Lord Wudu, Lord Tian Yang, and True Lord Chilan before, but the latter's Aura and attire were already evident.

True Lord Wudu was a short old man, his face covered with tiny dark spiritual insects and spiritual patterns, looking particularly eerie. Lord Tian Yang, on the other hand, was quite the opposite, wearing a loose blue robe, over seven feet tall, appearing exceptionally imposing.

True Lord Chilan surprised Lin Shiming even more, as she was a female Cultivator. It was said that the Chilan Sect was entirely her domain.

Lin Shiming cupped his hands towards them, a simple greeting and salute.

The True Lords returned his greeting.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, where is Fellow Daoist Qiuxue?" True Lord Xueshan asked with some doubt at this time.

In their opinion, at this moment, the Autumn Blood Sword was also extremely crucial.

"Fellow Daoist Qiuxue is recovering from her injuries; I can convey the message on her behalf," Lin Shiming nodded and replied.

"Alright, I am confident in Fellow Daoist Lin's strength and judgment," True Lord Xueshan nodded, then looked at Old Woman Qingyu, Lord Nine Dragons, and True Lord Chilan.

"Old Woman Qingyu, Lord Nine Dragons, you two speak first. This time, you were the ones resisting the beast tide."

"The news is not good. Those Demon Emperors have grown stronger. Even outside the Tai Gan Mist, they can slightly overpower us. If we are inside the Tai Gan Mist, we will undoubtedly lose; it's just a matter of how long we can hold on!" It was Lord Nine Dragons who spoke. Even though he was usually extremely confident, at this moment, he seemed somewhat helpless.

"This concubine's Formation and the Azure Wood Sect's Formation are also difficult to resist the Tai Gan Shark's Tai Gan Sword Formation. I hope Fellow Daoist Xueshan can offer some advice!" Old Woman Qingyu also shook her head. Everyone's expressions were grim.

Especially Old Woman Qingyu, Lord Tian Yang, and True Lord Wudu, for these three, they could actually take a gamble: the Tai Gan Shark Clan could not reach the mainland.

After all, they were a sea race.

However, unless absolutely necessary, they would not be willing to give up the South Sea and allow the Tai Gan Shark Clan to continue to grow stronger.

By then, if Nascent Soul Demon Emperors were truly everywhere, the time for the entire Great Yu Cultivation World to be eroded and enslaved would not be far off.

"What about True Lord Chilan?" True Lord Xueshan continued to look at her.

"Let's prepare for a desperate fight. I don't want to endure this humiliation any longer!" Although True Lord Chilan was a female Cultivator, her temper was not weak.

"Very well, then listen to my plan. If everyone agrees, then each of you will bring out the foundations of your respective Families!" (End of Chapter)
