Chapter 679: Golden Armor Puppet

"Greetings, Fellow Daoists and Seniors!" Lin Shiming also greeted the others.

Then, Lin Shiming looked at Old Woman Qingyu and Immortal Master Hongye.

"This is Old Woman Qingyu of the Qinghua Sect, a Sixth-rank Formation Great Master!"

"This is Real Person Hongye of the Coral Alliance."

Lin Shiming introduced the two to the others.

Of course, he knew that even if he didn't introduce them, the people here probably already had a general idea.

For Nascent Soul True Lords, after learning about the existence of other regions, how could they not send out scouts?

As far as Lin Shiming knew, the South Sea had acquired many Purple Mansion affiliated forces.

These Purple Mansion affiliated forces had risen exceptionally suddenly, as if they had popped out of nowhere.

This was exactly like the Lin Family appearing in the South Sea.

Lin Shiming naturally understood that these were all branch Sects arranged by other major forces.

Just like the Lin Family, they also occupied more than half of a Cultivation country in the Eastern Region.

Of course, occupying this Chu country, Lin Shiming faced no small amount of pressure. Although there were few islands in the East Sea, the Yao Race of the East Sea was equally formidable.

The South Sea had the Sea Demon Royal Court, while the East Sea was directly controlled by the Dragon Palace forces.

Compared to the South Sea, where the Thunder Roc Clan and the Red Crane Clan could contend with the Jiaolong Clan, the East Sea Dragon Palace was the sole dominant power.

Lin Shiming had witnessed this a century ago.

The True Lords present were clearly more attentive to Old Woman Qingyu, while for Real Person Hongye, they merely offered a perfunctory greeting.

"May I ask, Nine Leaves True Lord, is the Cloud Palace about to open?" Lin Shiming asked.

"It is indeed about to open. However, it was because someone, holding a cloud token of the Cloud Palace, almost entered the Cloud Palace. That seemed to be a token of the Cloud Palace. Fortunately, there was a three-colored Spirit Puppet within the Cloud Palace that almost killed him, forcing him to flee from the Cloud Palace, which is how we discovered it!" Nine Leaves True Lord did not hide anything from Lin Shiming.

If one were to inquire carefully, these pieces of information could certainly be found.

Lin Shiming was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

He had two cloud tokens within him, and the reason he wanted to come and check was to test them. Now it seemed someone had already tried, and almost succeeded.

One should know, his System's prompt had stated that the Golden Armor Puppet of the Cloud Palace, at its weakest, was a Nascent Soul Puppet.

Moreover, each cloud token corresponded to a Golden Armor Puppet.

The appearance of a three-colored Puppet, however, was not mentioned in the previous prompts.

Lin Shiming followed what Nine Leaves True Lord said and looked towards the Cloud Palace.

It was a huge palace floating in the air, or rather, a massive floating island.

Spiritual Qi mist enveloped the island, making it difficult to see much. The only thing that could be clearly seen was a massive city wall on it.

The city wall was a hundred zhang high, carved with various exotic beasts, all lifelike, as if resisting enemies, with ferocious expressions, roaring or howling.

And above the city gate, many Puppets could now be vaguely seen, with a Golden Armor Puppet in the very center.

It was also a Sixth-rank Puppet with Nascent Soul battle power.

Lin Shiming looked on with some eagerness. Not to mention the treasures inside, just obtaining this Puppet would provide enough foundation for the Family to prosper for two thousand years.

And Lin Shiming's System prompt finally sounded again:

"The Golden Armor Puppet has broken through to Middle Stage Nascent Soul, becoming a three-colored Spirit Puppet. It is no longer restricted by the soul-binding of the cloud token. Please gather at least three cloud tokens to form a Cloud Map, and you will gain the first opportunity to obtain an Innate Spirit Treasure!"

As soon as the System prompt appeared, Lin Shiming's heart was even more astonished.

He hadn't expected that this Golden Armor Puppet could still Breakthrough.

If he wasn't mistaken, that three-colored Puppet likely contained gold.

This immediately made Lin Shiming feel that it was very tricky.

Judging from the overwhelming advantage of a Middle Stage Golden Core facing an Early Stage Golden Core, the gap between a Middle Stage Nascent Soul and an Early Stage Nascent Soul was probably even greater than that between an Early Stage Nascent Soul and a Peak Golden Core.

However, Lin Shiming quickly shook his head. He hadn't even broken through to Nascent Soul yet; it wasn't the time to think about these things.

He wouldn't linger here. He had to return immediately to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

Even if the heavenly spirit fruit matured during this period, he couldn't afford to care.

However, he estimated that the heavenly spirit fruit should still have fifty years left.

According to the prompt given by the Taiyi Sword Grass, it wouldn't be far off.

After all, the former told him to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul before he was at least three hundred years old, otherwise, he might incur great Karma.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, have you noticed anything?" Just then, Nine Leaves True Lord couldn't help but ask.

His gaze was exceptionally special, as if he could see through the vicissitudes of time at a glance.

One must know that Lin Shiming was not a novice; his control over his expressions was extremely precise. No matter how surprised he was, his surface remained calm and unruffled.

But Nine Leaves True Lord still seemed to have noticed something.

"Nothing, I just feel that these Spirit Puppets seem to be growing stronger!" Lin Shiming did not hide it. He was still very wary of Nine Leaves True Lord. He had the Minor Divine Ability of comprehending the Dao.

It was not guaranteed that Nine Leaves True Lord didn't also have it.

So Lin Shiming spoke truthfully this time.

"Fellow Daoist Lin indeed has a Wisdom Eye. It's pitiful for old Cultivators like us; we only noticed a hint of a clue after almost ten years of observation!" Nine Leaves True Lord said with some self-reproach.

"The Spiritual Qi here is indeed not suitable for our Cultivation, but the Spiritual Qi here is extremely suitable for those Puppets!"

"There should be ancient Formation patterns carved on their Puppets, allowing them to absorb Spiritual Qi and strengthen themselves!" Nine Leaves True Lord also didn't hold back.

This somewhat surprised Lin Shiming.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't you join our Eastern Region Alliance, and together we can await the emergence of the Cloud Palace and the Spirit Treasure?" Nine Leaves True Lord finally began to invite him.

Of course, Old Woman Qingyu was also invited.

"No, Lin's foundation in the South Sea is still unstable, and besides, I am only a Golden Core. How can I be qualified to covet the treasures here!" Lin Shiming directly shook his head and refused.

And Old Woman Qingyu, following closely behind Lin Shiming, immediately refused.

Real Person Hongye, needless to say, stood directly behind Lin Shiming.

Indicating that she and Lin Shiming made the same choice.

Of course, even if she wanted to stay, she wasn't qualified.

Everyone here had at least Nascent Soul battle power.

"Many thanks, Nine Leaves True Lord, for clarifying my doubts. Lin is merely here to broaden his horizons today, and will return to the South Sea after seeing what there is to see!" Lin Shiming said with a wry smile, thanking him again.

With that, he was about to bid farewell and leave.

Not joining someone else's Alliance naturally meant there was no need to discuss staying.

Here, one was either a friend or an enemy.

They certainly didn't want another competitor.

Seeing Lin Shiming about to leave, the other few did not try to keep him, merely smiling and saying that when Lin Shiming returned to the Eastern Region again, he could visit their Sects.

Lin Shiming agreed to each, though it might not be very useful, it was not a bad thing in the end.

And there were no enemies of the Lin Family here. The Lin Family's enemies were only the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect.

Now that the Heavenly Demon Sect had been destroyed, only the Corpse Refining Sect remained!
