739: Seven door options

Inside the Cloud Palace, unlike the barrier outside which was merely a Formation, the barrier here was clearly more profound.

Besides breaking the Formation, it seemed one also had to find the true location of the Spirit Treasure.

Within the barrier, there were six glowing doors.

The light from each door was identical, and their aura was incredibly powerful.

It seemed all six could lead to the true place of its nurturing.

"Enter the doors separately, and break the Formation together!" Nine Leaves True Lord was the first to speak.

However, he wasn't looking at the Yao Race Demon Emperors; he was looking at a man in a nine-colored robe.

Most Cultivators' Dao robes were of a single color. Even Lord Nine Dragons, despite wearing an imperial robe, wasn't that flashy.

It wasn't that they couldn't, but it would somewhat lower their status.

Lin Shiming looked over, and his heart immediately skipped a beat.

This person was clearly the Nine Spirits Pagoda that had assisted Immortal Master Divine Machine in his Breakthrough.

He was also a Spirit Cultivator, and not a Cultivator from this world.

The nine-colored Spirit robe on his body was the appearance of his clothes.

"Of course, but Fellow Daoists of all races shouldn't hide anything now, there can't be any Golden Core Cultivators here!" The Nine Spirits Pagoda spoke with great confidence.

Besides Nascent Soul Cultivators, there were also more than a dozen Golden Core Cultivators in the entire hall.

These Golden Core Cultivators, without even needing to look, were all Nascent Souls in disguise.

However, seeing that no one intended to reveal themselves, the Nine Spirits Pagoda's figure flickered, and a Nascent Soul aura pressed down.

Immediately, their auras began to erupt one by one.

The Nine Spirits Pagoda's pressure was just right; if they were Golden Core Cultivators, they naturally wouldn't be able to resist and would only face death.

But it wouldn't injure Nascent Soul Cultivators, its purpose was to force them to show their true selves.

Soon, Lin Shiming also saw the familiar Yaksa Clan, and even the Tai Gan Shark Clan; they were all releasing their auras at this moment.

They looked at the man transformed from the Nine Spirits Pagoda with ill intent.

However, the Nine Spirits Pagoda didn't care in the slightest. Instead, he chose a door on his own, began to activate his Spirit Light, and prepared to break the Formation.

After all, once the Formation was broken, there would be choices. The six doors would divide all Nascent Souls into six groups, significantly reducing competition.

Moreover, those who could Cultivate to Nascent Soul were all individuals with good Luck, and everyone believed their own Luck was better.

Of course, subconsciously, sometimes they also hoped to quietly obtain the Spirit Treasure.

This way, they could gain wealth without bloodshed, in a low-key manner.

For multiple forces, this was beneficial.

Of course, some also began to insert Nascent Souls.

Their main force would be placed at one door, while weaker ones were arranged at the other doors.

Not to seize the treasure, but merely to know who took it!

And almost everyone did this.

Everyone wanted to get it themselves, but also worried about others getting it.

Of course, Lin Shiming estimated that there were treasures in all six of these grotto-heavens.

This Cloud Palace was built by an ancient Soul Transformation Sect.

Its purpose was to nurture Spirit Treasures. With such a massive fluctuation here, there were probably extraordinary treasures within.

However, what made Lin Shiming stunned was that he couldn't feel the pulsation of the cloud token in any of these six Cloud Palaces. Instead, it was on the final plaque that his cloud token became incredibly hot.

There were only two words on this plaque.

Cloud Palace!

These two words seemed ordinary; even the plaques of some Sect islands were somewhat inferior.

It seemed to lack any grandeur.

But in fact, if everyone didn't focus on those boundary doors,

they might have been able to sense the unusual nature of this plaque.

After all, this was the Cloud Palace; the most ordinary was often the most extraordinary.

Lin Shiming did not speak.

Instead, he also joined in breaking the barrier of the boundary door.

After a while, the heavily injured Cloud Dragon Demon Emperor led a group of Yao Race members and also entered.

After hesitating for a moment, the Cloud Dragon Demon Emperor chose the leftmost boundary door.

The Nine Spirits Pagoda chose the second, Nine Leaves True Lord chose the third.

The Tai Gan Shark Demon Emperors and the Yaksa Clan Demon Emperors chose the fifth, and Lord Coral and others chose the sixth.

Lin Shiming naturally stood behind Coral Island.

Although he knew it clearly, he wouldn't reveal it.

Moreover, he still had an Incarnation of the Yaksa Clan on him.

He could still conceal himself.

Under the combined assault of so many Nascent Soul Cultivators, the barrier Formation could not withstand more than a few blows.

Countless Spirit Lights flickered a few times, then turned into fragments of Spirit Light, dissipating into the air.

Like a mirror, once shattered, it completely vanished.

And it revealed the terrifying auras of the six doors.

Countless Nascent Soul Cultivators also advanced simultaneously towards the six doors.

Lin Shiming's figure stood at the back. When it was his turn, he immediately flicked his sleeve and entered the grotto-heaven.

But in front of him was precisely his Yaksha divine external Incarnation.

Although this divine external Incarnation's aura was not Nascent Soul, it was refined using a Nascent Soul Physical Body.

Its Physical Body strength was considered Nascent Soul. It might be difficult to conceal normally, but at this moment, no one was paying attention to him.

So the Clone entered the boundary door.

His main body hid within the grotto-heaven.

After thirty breaths of time, confirming that everyone had entered, Lin Shiming reappeared in the great hall.

He had already sensed that there were treasures within that barrier, and his divine external Incarnation was inside, competing for them.

Furthermore, exiting the boundary door did not lead back to the original spot; one couldn't just enter and then exit.

These six boundary doors were, surprisingly, also six Small Worlds.

And they were not small.

Lin Shiming was overjoyed when he saw this. This meant no one was competing with him, and holding five cloud tokens, he could be said to be chosen by heaven.

He simply set up a Formation to isolate the main hall, then took out five cloud tokens and headed towards the plaque inscribed with the words "Cloud Palace."

As expected, the plaque opened, revealing an aerial boundary door!

And this boundary door was even deeper, with a more immense aura inside. A burning heat even passed through the boundary door, making Lin Shiming somewhat restless.

And to know that something could make him feel restless even after his Breakthrough to Nascent Soul was enough to indicate that this treasure was extremely extraordinary.

No wonder no one could judge the six doors before; since none of them contained it, naturally no one could tell which one truly held the Spirit Treasure.

After a look of wild joy, Lin Shiming no longer hesitated. Instead, he activated the Ten Thousand Beasts Nascent Transformation Secret Method throughout his body and leaped in.

Although he was confident about this Spirit Treasure expedition, he still had to be careful.

However, unbeknownst to Lin Shiming, after he appeared, four more people emerged in the entire hall.

One of them was Nine Leaves True Lord, one was the Cloud Dragon Demon Emperor, another was the Nine Spirits Pagoda, and the last one was none other than the Demon Emperor Qing Hu.

When the four saw the other three, there was no surprise in their eyes. Clearly, they knew that the Spirit Treasure was not within those six doors.

Those who had just entered were merely Clones.

Although the four were somewhat annoyed that there were others, due to the urgency of time and fear that Lin Shiming would get there first, they all rushed into the boundary door.

Soon after, the plaque fell back to its original position in the main hall.

And the great door instantly disappeared.
