Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

662: The difference between clan alliancesCoral Palace is located at the innermost part of the Tianliu Pavilion complex, situated on a hill to the north.

Although its location is not as good as Tianliu Mountain, it can still overlook a large area of Tianliu Island.

The Coral Palace being located here also represents Tianliu Island’s respect for Coral Island.

After all, Tianliu Island is still nominally a member of the Coral Alliance.

As long as True Lord Xueshan has not unified the actions of the Coral Alliance, everyone is still an Alliance.

Lin Shiming now walked to the entrance of the Coral Palace.

Compared to other items, the Human Gate and Earth Gate were relatively more important to Lin Shiming.

He has the Heaven Gate, and restoring the Human Gate and Earth Gate, coupled with his hints, might truly allow a second Spirit Treasure to reappear.

The Tai Gan Shark Clan could use the Heaven Gate to connect the Tai Gan World and the Great Yu World.

Perhaps the Lin Family could also use the Heaven Gate to go to other realms.

To be honest, Lin Shiming was not very optimistic about the situation in the Great Yu World; after all, once the Innate Spirit Treasure matured and spread to other realms, both the Eastern Region and the South Sea would become resources to be plundered.

If it were only invaded by foreign races like the Tai Gan Shark Clan, it would be fine, but there were also ancient demons and the Dark Spirit Race.

The strength of these realms was, to put it mildly, almost comparable to the Spirit Realm; the only good news was that this realm could currently only support the Nascent Soul Stage.

But when the Innate Spirit Treasure appears, it might be able to support the Soul Transformation Stage.

At that time, even if the Lin Family clung tightly to Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, it might be difficult for them to retreat unscathed.

After all, how magnificent the Tai Bai Sword Palace was back then, yet it was annihilated in the river of history due to the Dark Spirit Race.

Lin Shiming naturally dared not hold too many expectations.

As the spirit talisman entered the Coral Palace, there was no swift response from within.

This scene also made Lin Shiming’s expression a little gloomy.

He knew that True Lord Xueshan was trying to make a point to him.

Seeing no response, Lin Shiming turned and made to leave.

Although they were both part of the Coral Alliance now, if news spread that he was being taken advantage of, it would no longer be an Alliance, but a Sect.

He was well aware of this point.

”Fellow Daoist Lin, I was just Cultivating a secret technique, please don’t take offense!” True Lord Xueshan repeatedly sent a voice transmission and personally came out of the Coral Palace.

Only then did Lin Shiming stop.

”Lin also thought Fellow Daoist Zhao was Cultivating, which is why Lin had the idea of returning to Welcoming Lin Palace first, since we are all on Tianliu Island,” Lin Shiming said.

As soon as he said this, True Lord Xueshan still smiled cheerfully.

However, Lin Shiming did not know what she was thinking internally.

Perhaps in the past, he would have truly feared True Lord Xueshan, but with his Autumn Blood Sword Intent reaching Major Achievement, the broken sword restored, and the Yan Yang Sword achieving Nascent Soul, Lin Shiming was truly not afraid of the Coral Palace.

Now, he felt he was not much inferior to True Lord Xueshan.

Moreover, his path to Breakthrough to True Lord was not far.

More importantly, after he Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, he could go to the Tai Bai Sword Palace Small World again.

”Fellow Daoist Lin, what important matter brings you here?” True Lord Xueshan led Lin Shiming into the main hall and brewed a pot of spirit tea for him.

As the fragrance of the tea wafted up, it made True Lord Xueshan appear even more mysterious.

”To be frank, Fellow Daoist, Lin wishes to complete a transaction with you!” Seeing that the other party was not welcoming him, Lin Shiming naturally wouldn’t try to curry favor.

He simply got straight to the point.

”I want to exchange ten thousand year cold jade for your Human Gate and Earth Gate!” Lin Shiming said.

”The Human Gate and Earth Gate are not comparable to ten thousand year cold jade; after all, they are incomplete Spirit Treasures!” True Lord Xueshan neither refused nor agreed, but instead countered.

”Naturally, but incomplete Spirit Treasures also come in several types. The Earth Gate and Human Gate are probably only equivalent to a fifth-tier top-grade Magic Treasure, and as far as I know, the damage is not light. The amount of ten thousand year cold jade Lin has will also not be too little, and most importantly, Coral Island will likely have many Cultivators Breakthrough in the future.”

”That’s true, but our Coral Island doesn’t lack ten thousand year cold jade either.” True Lord Xueshan shook her head.

The Earth Gate and Human Gate were indeed severely damaged, but their significance was equally high.

Moreover, for Coral Island, she might not have a ten thousand year cold jade mine, but it was not necessarily true that she lacked ten thousand year cold jade.

”Lin understands.” Lin Shiming nodded, then waved his hand to bid farewell.

True Lord Xueshan saying this meant she wanted to make an exorbitant demand, and Lin Shiming naturally wouldn’t let her succeed.

Although the Earth Gate and Human Gate were important, they were by no means irreplaceable.

”Of course, this is not entirely non-negotiable!” True Lord Xueshan saw Lin Shiming’s intention to retreat and spoke again.

As soon as she said this, Lin Shiming’s body paused.

”Compared to other True Lord forces, the Coral Alliance currently lacks unity!”

”I invite the Lin Family to join the Coral Sect!” True Lord Xueshan said.

”Fellow Daoist Xueshan, it is currently the Coral Alliance!” Lin Shiming retorted.

Although there was only a one-word difference between ’Sect’ and ’Alliance’, once they merged into a Sect, it would truly be the entire Alliance’s strength being exploited by the Zhao Family.

Of course, it was also possible that the Lin Family could profit from it.

But the Lin Family was still too young now; even if their Nascent Soul combat power was not bad, the Lin Family’s Golden Core and Purple Mansion stages were too far apart.

This was definitely not good news for the Lin Family.

Moreover, the Lin Family itself originated as a Family, unlike the various island forces of Coral Island, which were superficially Families but had long since merged Family and Sect forces.

If the Lin Family were to enter it, the Lin Family would no longer be pure.

”Fellow Daoist Lin, do you really think this Alliance can survive in troubled times?” True Lord Xueshan suddenly spoke.

”How can Fellow Daoist Lin be sure that other Sects haven’t communicated with foreign races?”

”Indeed, it can’t be guaranteed, which is why the Alliance exists. If Fellow Daoist Xueshan continues to talk about the Sect, there’s no need. Lin doesn’t necessarily have to exchange the Earth Gate and Human Gate. Furthermore, for Thousand Machine Island and other islands, I believe that even in troubled times, they cannot be cast aside, otherwise, our Coral Alliance would be a joke.” Having said this, Lin Shiming no longer concealed anything, and even directly stated that Thousand Machine Island had already allied with the Lin Family.

True Lord Xueshan clearly had no small ambitions.

Presumably, the demise of the Heavenly Illumination Sect had given Coral Island a taste of success.

”Also, Fellow Daoist Xueshan, the way to deal with troubled times is not annexation, but Alliance!” Lin Shiming said at last, then directly departed.

For the Human Gate and Earth Gate, he already had an answer; no System prompt appeared, indicating that the other party simply did not want to sell the Human Gate and Earth Gate.

The spatial rules involved in these two treasures were clearly highly valued by Coral Island as well.

It was even possible that the other party was coveting his Heaven Gate.

Lin Shiming walked out of the Coral Palace and headed towards the nearby Azure Flower Palace.

If he couldn’t get the Human Gate and Earth Gate, the Cloud Realm operation couldn’t be delayed.

He had to obtain the heavenly wood divine water as soon as possible to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

Azure Flower Palace was not far from his Welcoming Lin Palace, and to his surprise, Old Woman Qingyu was actually waiting for him at the entrance of Azure Flower Palace.

”I’ve kept Fellow Daoist Qingyu waiting for a long time.”

”Waiting long is not the case; for Cultivators like us, several years are but an instant. However, this old woman is interested in the divine water Fellow Daoist Lin mentioned!”
