Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints-Chapter 1119 - 693: The Difference in the Clan Alliance
Chapter 1119: Chapter 693: The Difference in the Clan Alliance
The Coral Palace is located at the innermost part of the Tianliu cluster of palaces, sitting on a hill to the north.
Although its position is not as prominent as Tianliu Mountain, it still offers a commanding view over a large part of Tianliu Island.
The location of the Coral Palace here symbolizes Tianliu Island’s respect for Coral Island.
After all, nominally, Tianliu Island is still a member of the Coral Alliance.
As long as Xue Shan True Monarch hasn’t unified the Coral Alliance, everyone remains part of a coalition.
Lin Shiming now stands at the entrance of the Coral Palace.
Compared to other matters, for Lin Shiming, the Dimen and Renmen are relatively more important.
He possesses the Heavenly Gate, which could restore the Dimen and Renmen, and with his guidance, it’s quite possible to recreate a second Spiritual Treasure.
The Taigian Shark Tribe can use the Heavenly Gate to connect the Taiqian Realm and the Dayu Realm.
Perhaps the Lin Family can also travel through the Heavenly Gate to other realms.
Regarding the situation in the Dayu Realm, frankly speaking, Lin Shiming is not overly optimistic. After all, once the Innate Spiritual Treasure matures and spreads to other realms, both the Eastern Domain and the Southern Sea would become resources to be plundered.
If only the Taigian Shark Tribe were invading, it would be easier, but there are also Ancient Demons and the Dark Spirit Clan.
The power of these realms is on par with the Spirit Realm, if not stronger, though the good news is that, currently, this realm can only sustain those at the Nascent Soul Stage.
But once the Innate Spiritual Treasure emerges, it might support those at the Divinity Transformation Stage.
At that time, even if the Lin Family clings tightly to the Myriad Swords Divine Mountain, they may not be able to retreat fully intact.
After all, the Taibai Sword Palace was so grand in those days, yet it was destroyed by the Dark Spirit Clan, swallowed up in the river of history.
Lin Shiming naturally does not dare to harbor excessive hope.
As the Spirit Talisman enters the Coral Palace, there is no immediate response from within.
This scene causes Lin Shiming’s expression to darken somewhat.
He knows that Xue Shan True Monarch is signaling him.
Seeing no response, Lin Shiming turns to leave.
Although they are part of the Coral Alliance, if the word of him being slighted gets out, it will no longer be an alliance but rather a sect.
Of this, he is aware.
"Daoist Lin, I was just cultivating a Secret Technique; I hope you won’t mind too much!" Xue Shan True Monarch sends a voice transmission repeatedly and personally steps out of the Coral Palace.
Only then does Lin Shiming stop.
"I also thought Daoist Zhao was cultivating, so I had the intention of returning to the Welcoming Lin Palace, as we’re all on Tianliu Island," Lin Shiming said.
Upon hearing this, Xue Shan True Monarch chuckles warmly.
Though what thoughts lie within, Lin Shiming cannot ascertain.
Perhaps in the past, he was truly wary of Xue Shan True Monarch, but now that the Sword Intent of Qiu Xue Sword has greatly matured, the Broken Sword restored, and the Flaming Sword reached the Nascent Soul Stage, Lin Shiming truly does not fear the Coral Palace.
Now with Xue Shan True Monarch, he considers himself quite capable.
Moreover, his advance to True Monarch is not far away.
More critically, after breaking through to Nascent Soul, he can once again visit the Taibai Sword Palace Minor World.
"Daoist Lin, what brings you here?" Xue Shan True Monarch asks as he leads Lin Shiming into the hall, and brews a pot of Spiritual Tea for him.
As the aroma of tea wafts upward, Xue Shan True Monarch appears even more mysterious.
"To be frank, Daoist, I wish to transact with you!" Lin Shiming, seeing the other party’s cold attitude, naturally would not warm himself to a cold shoulder.
He straightforwardly gets to the point.
"I wish to exchange Thousand Year Cold Jade for your Renmen and Dimen!" Lin Shiming stated.
"Renmen and Dimen are not comparable to Thousand Year Cold Jade; after all, they are incomplete Spiritual Treasures!" Xue Shan True Monarch neither rejects nor agrees, instead questioning.
"Indeed, incomplete Spiritual Treasures come in many forms. The Dimen and Renmen are approximately equivalent to supreme-grade Fifth Rank Magical Treasures, and as far as I know, the damage is not slight; the quantity of my Thousand Year Cold Jade is likewise considerable, and most importantly, the Coral Island’s future breakthroughs by cultivators are likely not few."
"That’s easy to say, but my Coral Island doesn’t lack Thousand Year Cold Jade." Xue Shan shakes his head.
The Dimen and Renmen, though severely damaged, have just as much significance.
Moreover, while Coral Island doesn’t have a Thousand Year Cold Jade mine, it may not lack Thousand Year Cold Jade.
"I understand," Lin Shiming nods, then bids farewell with a wave.
Xue Shan’s words indicate she intends to demand excessively; Lin Shiming certainly won’t let her have her way.
Though the Dimen and Renmen are important, they are certainly not irreplaceable.
"Of course, negotiations aren’t impossible!" Xue Shan True Monarch speaks again as Lin Shiming shows signs of leaving.
This causes Lin Shiming to pause.
"Compared to other True Monarch powers, Coral Alliance lacks cohesion!"
"I invite the Lin Family to join the Coral Sect!" Xue Shan True Monarch declares.
"Daoist Blood Coral, isn’t this still the Coral Alliance?" Lin Shiming retorts.
Although "sect" and "alliance" differ by only a character, once they merge into a sect, the entire alliance will be leveraged and exploited by the Zhao Family.
Of course, the Lin Family might benefit.
But the Lin Family is still too young; although their Nascent Soul combat power is notable, their Golden Core and Purple Mansion lag far behind.
This is certainly not good news for the Lin Family.
Moreover, the Lin Family originates as a family, unlike Coral Island, which has island forces; surface-wise it is a family but has long merged family and sect forces.
If the Lin Family enters, at that time, they will lose their purity.
"Daoist Lin, do you believe this alliance can survive in a chaotic world?" Xue Shan True Monarch suddenly asks.
"Daoist Lin, how can you be sure other sects aren’t communicating with foreign races?"
"Indeed, I can’t guarantee it, which is why the alliance exists. If Daoist Blood Coral continues to speak of sects, it won’t be necessary. Dimen and Renmen aren’t indispensable to me; regardless, Qian Ji Island and others must not be excluded, or our Coral Alliance will be a joke." By now, Lin Shiming also no longer feels the need to hide, and he directly reveals that Qian Ji Island is already allied with the Lin Family.
It’s clear Xue Shan True Monarch harbors significant ambition.
Perhaps it was the downfall of Tianzhao Sect that allowed Coral Island to taste benefits.
"Moreover, Daoist Blood Coral, the method to face chaos isn’t annexation, but union!" Lin Shiming says finally, then leaves directly.
The answer regarding Renmen and Dimen is already apparent; without system prompts, it means the other party intends not to sell Renmen or Dimen.
These two treasures, which involve spatial rules, clearly matter greatly to Coral Island.
Indeed, they may even be scheming for his Heavenly Gate, for all he knows.
Lin Shiming leaves the Coral Palace and heads towards the nearby Sapphire Palace.
Unable to exchange for Renmen and Dimen, he must not delay actions in the Yunzhong Realm.
He must quickly obtain Heavenly Wood Divine Water to break through to Nascent Soul.
Sapphire Palace is not far from his Welcoming Lin Palace, and to his surprise, Granny Qingyu is waiting for him at the entrance.
"I apologize for keeping Daoist Qingyu waiting," Lin Shiming says.
"Waiting isn’t a problem for cultivators like us; even years pass in an instant. However, I’m interested in the divine water you mentioned!" Granny Qingyu replies.
