735: The situation in the cloud world

Chapter 738: The Situation in the Cloud Realm

In the Cloud Palace, the enormous palace once again floated high in the sky.

It was like an Immortal Palace, looking down upon the entire Cloud Realm.

Dense, colorful light completely occupied this area.

It was so dazzling that it made people unable to open their eyes.

Outside the colorful light, many Cultivators had already surrounded the area, making it impenetrable.

Among them were Nascent Soul Cultivators, Golden Core Cultivators, and many Purple Mansion Cultivators.

All these Cultivators now had excited expressions; of course, some also felt helpless, as the time for the Innate Spirit Treasure to mature within the Cloud Realm was simply too long.

From the beginning of the anomaly until now, it had already lasted for a full half a year.

They had also gone from a dozen people on the periphery, fighting tooth and nail for positions, to now having thousands of people surrounding the area.

Some Purple Mansion Cultivators had even begun to Cultivate in the surroundings, as the Spiritual Qi here, in everyone's opinion, might have reached the sixth-grade top-tier, or even seventh-grade, in intensity.

During this period, many people also tried to fly into the Cloud Realm.

But whether they were fourth-stage Purple Mansion Cultivators, fifth-stage Golden Core Cultivators, or even sixth-stage Nascent Soul Puppets.

All of them were, without exception, bound by golden light and then defeated by a single strike from the Golden Family Martial General.

Of course, what made the Nascent Soul Cultivators most wary was that behind the distant Golden Armor Puppet, there was also a five-colored Puppet.

Its Aura was even more formidable; it was clearly a top-tier Puppet.

Its Cultivation was also higher, at least reaching the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, or even higher.

Coupled with the fact that the Innate Spirit Treasure was still brewing, everyone had not yet made a move.

“Aren’t we waiting any longer? More and more Yao Race Nascent Souls are appearing, besides the Yao Race from the Qingyun Mountain Range, there are also those from the East Sea, North Plains, and South Sea…” Thousand Corpse Zhenjun of the Corpse Refining Sect said, clearly annoyed.

Currently, there were many Human Race True Lords, including Thunder Talisman Lord of the Spirit Talisman Sect, True Lord Sky Sword of the Qingxuan Sect, Nine Leaves True Lord and White Dragon True Lord of the Spirit Beast Sect, and True Lord Tianyi of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

If they were to face the Yao Race from the Qingyun Mountain Range, they wouldn’t be at much of a disadvantage.

But now that the Yao Race True Lords from the East Sea had arrived, the Jiaolong Clan alone had six Nascent Souls, the Azure Cloud Fox Clan had two, and there were other True Lords, totaling twelve.

And this didn't even include the Yao Race from the North Plains, South Sea, and Southern Border.

Especially in the South Sea, the Jiaolong Clan there actually had seven Nascent Soul Demon Emperors.

In the changes of these years, inadvertently, the Yao Race Nascent Souls had already exceeded twenty.

Although there were also many Human Race Cultivators, even counting the True Lords from the South Sea.

But these True Lords from the Eastern Domain were somewhat apprehensive.

“Don’t act rashly. There are still many hidden among these Purple Mansion and Golden Core Cultivators, and not just the Yao Race, but also Spirit Race and many other alien race!” Nine Leaves True Lord directly transmitted his voice.

“First, communicate with Lord Coral of the South Sea!” Nine Leaves True Lord said.

If the Human Race did not cooperate, it would not be good news for them.

The Jiaolong Clan would definitely be more united than the Human Race, and the other Yao Race Nascent Souls would not yield to the Human Race at this moment.

They would definitely assist the Jiaolong Clan.

Conversely, if the Human Race did not communicate well, it was very likely that each would harbor their own selfish intentions.

This could be seen from the current formation arrangement.

The nine True Lords from the South Sea were all gathered together now.

However, there were fewer True Lords from the North Plains, only three, and they maintained a certain distance from the others.

And at this moment, everyone looked into the distance.

“Is that…” Nine Leaves True Lord’s expression changed in surprise.

True Lord Sky Sword’s face also showed some unusualness.

As Qinghong landed, a figure walked out.

It was Lin Shiming.

Many recognized Lin Shiming; of course, more were filled with emotion.

Because when they were Golden Core Cultivators, Lin Shiming was merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

At that time, they wouldn't even spare Lin Shiming a glance.

But now, he had grown into a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Of course, what made them most wary was that when Lin Shiming was a Golden Core Cultivator, he was already able to exert Nascent Soul power and kill a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor.

Now, he was probably even more terrifying.

“Everyone, Lin hasn’t arrived late, has he!” Lin Shiming walked into the South Sea camp, not joining the True Lords of the Eastern Domain.

After all, the Lin family was a member of the Southern Immortal Alliance; as for the Eastern Domain, it was merely that the Lin family controlled the State of Chu, so they could go or not.

But not going to the Southern Immortal Alliance would lead to gossip.

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lin, our Southern Immortal Alliance has gained another great general!” Golden Light True Buddha also said with a smile.

At this moment, he was surprisingly not bickering with Blood Fiend Demon Lord.

As Golden Light True Buddha spoke, Old Woman Qingyu and True Lord Xueshan all cupped their hands.

True Lord even asked Lin Shiming when he would hold his Nascent Soul ceremony.

“Daoist Tian Liu, Lin’s ceremony is tentatively scheduled for ten years from now. After this matter is resolved, I will definitely pay a visit with an invitation!” Lin Shiming also said with a smile.

These members of the Southern Immortal Alliance were all old acquaintances.

Especially True Lord and Old Woman Qingyu, who were considered good friends with Lin Shiming.

As for the others, they were merely casual acquaintances.

He looked towards the Eastern Domain Alliance, and in the end, merely cupped his hands.

The True Lords of the Eastern Domain had more or less enmity with the Lin family; the Corpse Refining Sect had even attacked them, and the Spirit Talisman Sect and Spirit Beast Sect had bullied the Lin family by relying on their power.

There was even less to say about the Qingxuan Sect, but the previous matter where they yielded the Tai Bai Sword Palace meant that the grievances were settled.

He cupped his hands only because the Lin family also had a presence in the Eastern Domain.

He just didn't want the situation to be so tense.

Lin Shiming’s gaze also swept across the other forces.

He knew that not only the Yaksa Clan, but also the Tai Gan Shark Clan were definitely here, but these people seemed to be hidden, or rather, had not yet arrived.

Lin Shiming only saw Golden Dragon Demon Emperor leading the East Sea Yao Race, Cloud Dragon Demon Emperor leading the Qingyun Yao Race, and the South Sea Yao Race.

“Now our Human Race has weakened quite a bit!” Old Woman Qingyu, who was nearby, also said with some worry.

“I wonder, Fellow Daoist Lin, how many fellow Daoists have you brought?”

Old Woman Qingyu was clearly asking Lin Shiming how many Nascent Soul Spirit Communication Swords he had brought.

After all, on the surface, they were indeed quite weak.

“Just one person!” Lin Shiming also transmitted his voice in reply, not hiding anything.

For him, the biggest unknown this time was himself; he was a dual Nascent Soul Cultivator of Qi Refining and Body Refining, plus a Sword Infant and Taiyi Sword Grass.

If others thought he was a newly Advanced Nascent Soul Cultivator and underestimated him, he would certainly make them regret it.

After all, upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, incomplete Spirit Treasures and Spirit Treasures could both be comprehended one more layer of the Treasure Unlocking Art.

Coupled with his Myriad Beast Banner and Ten Thousand Beasts Nascent Transformation Secret Method, his strength would definitely rank among Lord Coral and Old Woman Qingyu.

“Then this time, this old woman will prioritize caution!” Old Woman Qingyu also transmitted her voice to Lin Shiming.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming also sighed in his heart.

He knew that among the nine people here, many probably shared Old Woman Qingyu's thoughts.

Upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, they would cherish their lives even more.

If they could avoid taking risks, they absolutely would not.

If they truly clashed with the Yao Race, many would probably adopt a self-preservation mindset.

Lin Shiming could only continue to sense the cloud token within his cave abode; he could only hope that the cloud token would have a miraculous effect.
