Chapter 671: Sky Rift Grassland

As Lin Shiming opened his Grotto-Heaven, a terrifying Sword Intent instantly pressed down on the Azure Cloud Fox Yao Emperor.

Boom!

The spiritual might and Sword Qi collided, stirring up a terrifying storm in the air.

In an instant, it spread outwards in all directions.

And at the center of the storm was precisely the Azure Cloud Fox Yao Emperor.

"Are you still demanding an explanation? Or are the Yao Race and Human Race ready to settle the ownership of the Cloud Realm now?" Lin Shiming closed his Grotto-Heaven and spoke again.

Having reached this Realm, he no longer needed to worry about his Grotto-Heaven being exposed. Although such a treasure was rare, it wasn't particularly precious to a Lord. What was truly precious were sixth-tier Materials, or sixth-tier Magic Treasures.

Even the Physical Body and Nascent Soul of a sixth-tier Yao Emperor, or the Nascent Soul of a Cultivator.

As for settling the ownership of the Cloud Realm, the Azure Cloud Fox Yao Emperor naturally didn't dare.

They were merely members of the Qingyun Yao Race and could not represent all Yao Emperors.

Not to mention, they weren't confident of victory.

"From now on, Bai will no longer target Fellow Daoist Lin and the Lin family!" Although the Azure Cloud Fox Yao Emperor's eyes were filled with melancholy, she still gritted her teeth and made a concession, taking Bai Ling directly away, no longer seeking revenge against the Lin family.

Since she was no match for Lin Shiming, she naturally couldn't stay here to humiliate herself.

Furthermore, she couldn't see through Old Woman Qingyu beside Lin Shiming, which could only mean that Old Woman Qingyu's Cultivation was also no worse than hers.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you need to keep her?" Old Woman Qingyu spoke, and in her hand, a Formation Plate had appeared at some unknown time.

Evidently, the other party had secretly set up a Formation.

As a sixth-tier Formation Master, this instantly made Lin Shiming extremely wary.

If such a method of silently setting up a Formation were used against him, could he detect it?

He would probably have to expend several life-saving measures at least.

Although Lin Shiming was inwardly shocked and wary, he quickly shook his head on the surface, refusing.

Even three Lords trying to kill a Lord who was trying to escape might not succeed, and even with a sixth-tier Formation, it would absolutely not achieve a true three-on-one situation.

Not to mention, there were too many Yao Emperors watching the show here.

Those Human Race Lords might not all stand on Lin Shiming's side.

The reason he dared to speak so boldly was because the Lin family still had a South Sea, and even if it caused a war between humans and yao, he was not afraid.

But that didn't mean he was truly willing to provoke a war now.

For Lin Shiming, stably breaking through to Nascent Soul was his most important goal at the moment.

"Let's go to the Cloud Realm Secret Realm!" Lin Shiming spoke again, and the three of them once again rode their spirit boat forward.

The spirit boat's speed was very fast, and this time, in less than half an hour, it landed in a valley.

This valley was desolate, having obviously been scoured countless times, and there were even many places with continuous ravines. In the exposed soil, there were also some bones of low-tier Yao Beasts and low-tier Cultivators.

It was clear that countless battles had taken place here over the past hundred years.

Although Lin Shiming couldn't see it with his own eyes, he felt a chilling Evil Qi at this moment.

Of course, his gaze quickly shifted, passing through the valley entrance to a Cliff Wall, where a huge Void Realm Gate stood.

This Void Realm Gate was just like a Secret Realm entrance, except this Secret Realm Gate also had a huge character for 'Cloud'.

This Void Realm Gate was also the entrance to the Cloud Realm.

"This is a two-race controlled area. No one has been guarding it for this period, so let's go straight in!" Lin Shiming spoke again.

His System prompt was still active, so he wasn't afraid of being ambushed.

Now, because the Yao Race and Human Race were evenly matched, neither side dared to guarantee they could guard the entrance well.

Coupled with the fact that most of the treasures inside had been plundered, they had given up control of the valley.

Old Woman Qingyu and Real Person Hongye both nodded. Both of them took out their respective Magic Treasures. Old Woman Qingyu held her snake-head staff and the repaired zither, while Real Person Hongye had thirty blood jade leaf Magic Treasures appearing around her.

Thinking of the other party's Minor Divine Ability, 'Leaves Following', Lin Shiming didn't believe that Real Person Hongye's life-saving methods were weak.

Besides the two of them taking out treasures, Lin Shiming also took out the Ten Thousand Beast Tower and the Star Bead.

Soon, the three of them entered.

As soon as he entered the Cloud Realm, Lin Shiming saw an extremely primitive forest.

The forest felt extremely desolate, with many ancient trees inside.

However, there were no ancient trees above the third tier.

Clearly, even though the entrances to the Cloud Realm were random, any treasures above the third tier here had been completely plundered over the past century.

"This Spiritual Qi also feels a bit off!"

Lin Shiming suddenly spoke, extending his hand and gathering a good amount of Spiritual Qi.

After a slight absorption, he felt that the spiritual power within was extremely special. It seemed pure, but it carried some unusual aura, somewhat similar to his Sword Qi, both being fused Spiritual Qi.

Ordinary Cultivators would find it very troublesome to refine it directly.

"That's normal. This is the Legacy site of an ancient great sect. Those great sect Legacy sites were only provided for their Core Disciples to Cultivate, which required a matching Cultivation Technique!" Old Woman Qingyu added from the side.

As a Formation Master, she obviously knew more than Lin Shiming.

Even Real Person Hongye had researched quite a bit.

After all, Lin Shiming was definitely young among Golden Core Cultivators. It was normal for Cultivators to break through to Golden Core at three or four hundred years old.

But Lin Shiming was only two hundred and sixty years old at most.

He still had several decades until he reached three hundred years old.

"There are also quite a few Nascent Soul Cultivators in here!" Old Woman Qingyu suddenly spoke again.

At this moment, several Divine Senses looked towards them, and then were quickly suppressed back by Old Woman Qingyu's Divine Sense.

Clearly, many Lords were not at ease waiting outside and had entered the Secret Realm to wait.

There was one Divine Sense that Lin Shiming was not unfamiliar with; it was Thunder Talisman Lord, whom he had met once before.

However, upon sensing the presence of Lin Shiming and the others, his Divine Sense retracted.

"We don't need to bother with them, that's something to be wary of when we return!" Lin Shiming said, then looked at Real Person Hongye.

Although they were three, only Real Person Hongye knew the location of the heavenly wood divine water.

Real Person Hongye also took out a jade talisman and began to compare the Spirit Map on it to find the location of the heavenly wood divine water.

A long rainbow instantly appeared, extending into the distance.

The location was exactly opposite to the Cloud Palace, which made both Old Woman Qingyu and Lin Shiming breathe a sigh of relief.

Those Lords were all focused on the Cloud Palace, and their attention to other places wasn't as great.

Moreover, there were many sixth-tier Formations in this Cloud Realm.

Along the way, what made Lin Shiming sigh a little was how thoroughly the surrounding treasures had been plundered.

They flew several thousand li without seeing a single treasure above the third tier.

Lin Shiming even suspected that it had been scoured by the Divine Sense of Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so clean.

"Be careful, ahead is the Sky Rift Grassland of the Cloud Palace!" At this moment, Real Person Hongye spoke.

Upon hearing this, both Lin Shiming and Old Woman Qingyu were startled!

They had never heard of this Sky Rift Grassland.
