736: Aoki Shinjun
Chapter 739: True Lord Qingmu
The maturation of an Innate Spirit Treasure takes far longer than that of ordinary spiritual items.
Even Lin Shiming had waited here for half a year.
Of course, during this half-year wait, he also received many hints.
However, these hints were not about the Cloud Palace, but about the various alien races in the vicinity.
The Yaksa Clan was concealed in the distant Void Realm, while the Tai Gan Shark Clan was hidden among the Purple Mansion Great Demons and Golden Core Demon Kings of the Yao Race.
The Nine Spirits Pagoda, which had once conspired with Immortal Master Divine Machine, was also lurking in the distance.
Lin Shiming even saw many Five Elements Spirit Races.
In short, every time a hint appeared, Lin Shiming received no good news.
It was no wonder Old Woman Qingyu had decided to back out.
Of course, during these six months, he also learned the function of the cloud token.
He discovered that there were five ordinary Golden Armor Puppets and one three-colored Puppet at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, but only five Puppets would appear at the same time.
One Spirit Puppet would always be left out.
Lin Shiming's three cloud tokens corresponded to three Golden Armor Puppets. If the three-colored Puppet was left out and disappeared from the city wall, Lin Shiming would be able to force his way into the Cloud Palace.
However, Lin Shiming was still unsure when the Innate Spirit Treasure in the Cloud Palace would mature.
Moreover, the most crucial point was that if Lin Shiming broke in now, he would easily be discovered. To enter without anyone knowing was simply absurd.
Unless he released his Yaksha Incarnation to go in.
But his Clone had not reached the sixth stage, and forcing his way in would only lead to the Clone's demise, and even expose the cloud token.
Of course, at this moment, Lin Shiming was also paying attention to others. There must be others here who, like him, possessed a cloud token.
If no accidents occurred, there would be two other cloud tokens like his, and one three-colored cloud token.
Lin Shiming planned to wait for others to make a move first.
With that thought, Lin Shiming quietly sat down to meditate.
He silently digested the star spirit floss he had stored in his body earlier.
This star spirit floss was left over from when he broke through to Nascent Soul. Although its effect on him now was not significant, it still had some benefit.
With fifty or sixty Nascent Soul Cultivators here, Lin Shiming naturally dared not be careless.
It was clearly better to have more strength.
As Lin Shiming closed his eyes, he felt a figure constantly watching him.
He opened his eyes and saw it was Bai Ling'er of the Azure Cloud Fox Clan.
She was now at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, her cultivation having advanced considerably compared to before, and she possessed five tails, which was definitely considered excellent talent within the Azure Cloud Fox Clan.
However, compared to Lin Shiming, she was far behind.
Lin Shiming had captured her three times before. Seeing that she was still watching, he ignored her.
It was naturally impossible to fight with the Yao Race now; a fight at this moment would be meaningless.
Instead, it would give the hidden alien races an opportunity.
Lin Shiming also did not warn the others.
At this moment, panic absolutely could not be caused, as the Nascent Soul Cultivators here were also very important.
If he wanted to fish in troubled waters, he could not let others worry and leave.
As time passed, another month went by.
On this day, the red glow from the palace seemed to reach its limit, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi frantically rushed towards the palace.
"This Spirit Treasure is about to mature, at most one or two more days!" someone exclaimed.
The next moment, a Puppet flew directly towards the city.
This was the first time someone had flown towards it since Lin Shiming arrived.
Although it was just a Puppet, this Puppet was definitely a sixth-stage Puppet.
Lin Shiming was a little surprised at this moment, because this sixth-stage Puppet was released by a Cultivator from North Origin.
The Qingxuan Sect had fled from North Origin en masse, and later fought their way out of North Origin.
This Cultivator was also the renowned True Lord Qingmu of North Origin.
He was also one of the Grand Elders of the North Origin Heavenly Puppet Sect.
He initially thought it was just a Puppet's probe, but the next moment, True Lord Qingmu was seen holding two cloud tokens and flying towards the city wall.
On the city wall this time, there were only five Golden Armor Puppets.
For Lin Shiming, this opportunity was also very suitable!
However, before True Lord Qingmu could even get close, countless attacks appeared.
A massive Cloud Dragon's tail, like a cloud, smashed down from the clouds, instantly reaching True Lord Qingmu.
True Lord Qingmu was greatly alarmed. He hadn't expected these Demon Emperors to appear at this time.
The most crucial thing was that he found he couldn't dodge the Cloud Dragon's attack.
"This Cloud Dragon is at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul!" he roared, his body covered by a golden Puppet.
It was another sixth-stage Puppet.
He barely escaped, but the Cloud Dragon spoke again, fiercely:
"Hand over the cloud token!" Immediately, all the Demon Emperors of the Qingyun Mountain Range stepped out.
The Cloud Dragon's Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivation was fully displayed.
It was the first to break through to Nascent Soul, and it was precisely because of the Cloud Dragon that the Nascent Soul Golden Age began.
Otherwise, everyone would have to wait at least several decades to break through to Nascent Soul.
And it was also because everyone breaking through to Nascent Soul absorbed the Dao Qi, which further extended the maturation time of the Innate Spirit Treasure.
"Impossible, even if you are at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, I cannot give it to you!" True Lord Qingmu looked at the somewhat dented sixth-stage Puppet, his heart aching immensely.
Even with the thousands of years of accumulated resources of their entire Sect, they only had two sixth-stage Puppets, and they were irreplaceable.
Now, with this one move, half of it was damaged, and he naturally felt heartbroken.
But facing the pressure of a Nascent Soul Cultivator now, he was in a dilemma, neither able to retreat nor stand his ground.
"Do you really think our Human Race has no Fellow Daoists?" True Lord Qingmu also shouted loudly.
His body retreated further into the Human Race battle camp.
However, at this moment, everyone was somewhat hesitant.
Especially the other Human Race Immortal Masters, who also coveted True Lord Qingmu's cloud token.
Lin Shiming, standing nearby, showed a similar expression. He had known this outcome would occur.
Lin Shiming was now particularly focused on the Cloud Dragon Demon Emperor.
He felt that the Cloud Dragon Demon Emperor also had a cloud token.
And it might even be that three-colored cloud token, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted so quickly.
After all, no one else had displayed a cloud token.
Unaware of the cloud token's existence, the Cloud Dragon Demon Soul reacting so quickly almost confirmed that the cloud token was in its hands.
The two sides were in a standoff, with the Yao Race clearly being stronger.
However, at this moment, the Cloud Palace changed again. At the end of the sky, a spiritual fire rose, instantly absorbing all the surrounding Spiritual Qi.
This terrifying suction force made everyone's bodies unstable, and even those who were in seclusion absorbing it immediately vomited blood profusely.
The spiritual fire fell.
At the same time, most of the restrictive light in front of the city disappeared.
And it should be known why everyone dared not rush up; it wasn't because of the Puppets, but because of this restrictive light. As long as the restrictive light was gone, even without a cloud token, they wouldn't be afraid to charge the city and fight.
"The restrictive light is gone, charge!" True Lord Qingmu roared!
