Ah Feng did not expect Lin Xiu to agree so readily. He was stunned for a moment, then said to Lin Xiu again, "Senior, you can think about it, no one can force you."
Looking at the young man's honest look, Lin Xiu smiled again. Once upon a time, he was like the young man.
But as he experienced more and more things, the responsibilities on his shoulders also increased, and Lin Xiu had long passed the age of innocence.
To Lin Xiu, only by truly joining the Yun family would he be able to obtain some information that he wanted to know, such as some higher level skills. Lin Xiu did not believe that Ah Feng would give him all his trump cards just because he saved his life. This was obviously unrealistic.
"It's alright, I just came out of seclusion and have no place to go. Staying in the Yun family for the time being is also an option." Lin Xiu rubbed the young man's head and went to see the Yun family's patriarch.
When the Yun family's patriarch heard that Lin Xiu had agreed, he was extremely excited. He did not expect Lin Xiu to agree so readily and naturally. It was impossible for him to be too stingy. A light flashed in his hand and a large number of things appeared. He then said to Lin Xiu straightforwardly, "Lin Xiu, then from today onwards, you will be the guest elder of the Yun family. Don't worry, other than some extremely important situations, there won't be anything else."
"As for these things, they are the necessary resources that the Yun family provides to the guest elder. I hope that Brother Lin will not reject them."
Benefits that were delivered to his door, it would be a waste not to take it. Lin Xiu kept them directly into his spatial ring.
On that day, a huge banquet was held in the Yun family. Under the influence of some people, a piece of news was gradually spread to the other great clans. The Yun family now possessed two experts who had comprehended the principles of the Dao.
Just as the Lin family was celebrating, the other big families that received the news also gathered together and began a round of planning.
Originally, the big families were evenly matched and no one could take the entire city for themselves. But now that the balance of power had been broken, a new round of shuffling was about to begin. If the big families did not want to be defeated by the Yun family one by one, they had to work together and strike first.
After the banquet, Lin Xiu returned to his room and checked the resources provided by the Lin family.
It had to be said that Lin Xiu was shocked by the generosity of the Yun Family Patriarch. The other party was not a stingy person and had provided a lot of Dao Stones.
The Dao Stone was an advanced version of the Spirit Stone. It contained some Dao Energy, which was more helpful for Dao Enlightenment Realm experts to absorb and refine. At the same time, it was also the most popular currency in the entire universe.
Other than that, there was also a complete cultivation technique. Although the Yun family head knew that since Lin Xiu was able to cultivate to the Dao Enlightenment Realm, there must be a unique cultivation technique, but this was also one of the Yun family's sincerity. He did not know that Lin Xiu needed this the most right now.
For Lin Xiu, even though his strength had broken through to the Creation realm and there was basically no threshold before he reached the true enlightenment realm, he was still clueless about the realms after that.
Although he had obtained the inheritance of the legendary almighty, Lin Xiu's current ability was still unable to unlock the remaining stars, so these cultivation techniques were enough to make up for Lin Xiu's current shortcomings.
This was also a very helpless thing because according to the almighty who left behind the inheritance, since Lin Xiu could obtain his inheritance, it meant that he must have reached the Dao Enlightenment Realm and did not prepare much in terms of cultivation techniques.
And the cultivation techniques and martial skills that he left behind were not something that Lin Xiu could cultivate at his current stage. In the eyes of that almighty, only when he had truly reached the Three Venerables Realm would he truly have the capital to move unhindered in the universe. As for the Dao Enlightenment Realm, it was just child's play. If he did not have enough strength, it was best to obediently stay on the continent.
After flipping through the cultivation techniques, Lin Xiu could not help but be amazed by the wisdom of the people in the Ancient Desolate World.
Because the strength of the Tao was too rich, the people in this world had a unique capital in terms of cultivation. Although the use of martial skills was still relatively backward, the cultivation techniques had already reached a perfect level.
The cultivation technique provided by the Yun family was called the Golden Sea Secret Art. It was a cultivation technique that focused on the metal attribute. In fact, after reaching the Dao Enlightenment Realm, there was no such strict definition in terms of the various spiritual attributes.
Because the experts in the Dao Enlightenment Realm understood the rules of the Great Dao. As long as they were involved in the Great Dao, then all kinds of powers could be used.
However, this cultivation technique still had certain merits. According to the records above, after reaching the peak of the Dao Enlightenment Realm, one could use the power of the metal attribute as a primer to break through space and comprehend the mystery of space.
Now that there was a ready-made cultivation technique, Lin Xiu could not wait to start cultivating. Unlike before, this cultivation technique pointed directly to the Three Venerables Realm and was also very powerful in terms of devouring the strength of the Tao.
In just a few hours, the strength of the Tao that Lin Xiu devoured was roughly equivalent. The hard work that he had done in the past two months made Lin Xiu's heart feel a burst of emotion.
The cultivation technique that he originally cultivated was aimed at spiritual power. When he came to a higher level space, it was inevitable that it would be a little useless. But it was different now. As long as he could be patient and quietly polish for a period of time, he believed that there would be a terrifying increase in his combat strength.
Time flew by and a month had passed. Because of Lin Xiu's alliance, it was naturally impossible for the big families in the city to be as harmonious as before. At this moment, the Yun family was ambitiously preparing to carry out a reform. On this day, the Yun family Patriarch gathered the patriarchs of the big families for a discussion.
"Everyone, our Ocean of Clouds City is only a tiny city, but it has 5 powers. If we look at it from a long-term perspective, it isn't beneficial to the improvement of our overall strength. In my opinion, we should break the rules, put down some of our prejudices, and form an alliance. Only then would we be able to better motivate the disciples under our command." The Yun family Patriarch was the first to speak, but the other patriarchs of the big families frowned at the same time.
A burly man said in a low, muffled voice, "We, the five great powers, have existed for thousands of years. How could we change it just like that? Furthermore, does your Yun Family really have the confidence that you can take care of the other families?"
The patriarchs of the other three clans looked at the man and cursed him for being an idiot in their hearts. Originally, everyone had a tacit understanding, but the man had brought this matter out in the open, causing them to be unable to remain silent.
"Patriarch Yun, on this matter, Liu Hai is right. I feel that everyone's situation is very good now. As long as there is no conflict, I believe that the Cloud Sea City will be able to prosper day by day. There is no hurry to form an alliance." A young man who looked like a scholar waved the fan in his hand and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, the current situation is very good, there is no need to form an alliance at all." The other two patriarchs at this time also spoke up at this time.
The Yun family Patriarch grunted coldly in his heart when he saw that the other families were faintly thinking about forming an alliance.
However, he still had a trump card that he hadn't used, and he wasn't worried that these people would disobey him.
"Even so, do all of you know that the Hegemony Competition that's held once every 100 years is about to begin? Our Ocean of Clouds City is under Exalt Yao Kun's command, and we've always been ranked at the bottom during the last few competitions. If this continues, then perhaps we might be swallowed by the other cities. At that time, would all of you be able to tolerate the resources in your possession being handed over to the other families? "
As expected, as soon as these words left the Yun family Patriarch's mouth, the surroundings instantly fell into silence. They had no choice but to admit that the Yun family Patriarch wasn't lying, and the Hegemony Competition was like a huge rock that pressed down on their hearts.
Merely in terms of overall strength, Ocean of Clouds City was in the middle when compared to the other clans in the surroundings. However, it was still inferior when it came to top-notch strength. Every single one of their clans merely possessed a single Dao Comprehension Realm expert, and they had barely attained the minimum requirements to participate in the Hegemony Competition.
On the other hand, while the other cities in the surroundings possessed similar overall strength to Ocean of Clouds City, their top-notch combat strength was slightly superior.
Even though Exalt Yao Kun was only at the 1st level of the Exalt Realm, he controlled over 100 cities.
If Ocean of Clouds City was still unable to produce any decent results during the Hegemony Competition, then it was very likely that it would be directly eliminated by the furious Yao Kun.
After a short period of silence, the patriarchs of the other four clans exchanged glances. At the same time, they started sending voice transmissions to each other, and they were discussing a plan that would satisfy both sides.
A long time passed before the man called Liu Hai spoke once more, "Patriarch Yun, we admit that what you said makes sense, but if we really intend to form an alliance, then I'd like to know who will be the leader of the alliance. Moreover, how will it be run? "
The eyes of the Patriarch of the Yun Clan lit up when he saw this. He knew that Liu Hai was worried about the Hegemony Competition as well. Compared to that, forming an alliance was a matter of urgency.
"Everyone is aware that the cultivation techniques of our five clans belong to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. If we really form an alliance, then so long as we share our cultivation techniques, then we'll naturally be able to improve together. Then, we'll be able to obtain a good result during the Hegemony Competition." When he spoke up to this point, the Patriarch of the Yun Clan intentionally paused for a moment before he continued, "As for forming an alliance, it's very simple. There's no need to establish a leader. If we encounter any problems, then all we have to do is raise our hands to make a decision, and then the minority will obey the majority."
The Patriarchs of the four great clans started to look at each other in dismay. They truly did not expect that the Yun Clan would actually say such a thing even though their strength had clearly improved. Could it be that they were planning something else?
"I believe that everyone knows that not long ago, my son once met a Dao Comprehension stage expert. Now, he has already become a guest of my Yun Clan. Since he is also at the Dao Comprehension stage, then he will naturally be able to enter the alliance committee." The Patriarch of the Yun Clan faintly smiled, finally revealing his true thoughts.
"Bullshit. Among the five great clans, only your Yun Clan has two Dao Comprehension stage experts. Then, you will have more authority in the alliance. Do you really think that I, Liu Hai, am a three year old child?" The man, Liu Hai, was instantly enraged and could not help but curse.
"Liu Hai, what do you mean by this? If the alliance votes, then even if my Yun Clan has any suggestions in the future, your four great clans will still have more authority. " At this moment, the Patriarch of the Yun Clan had become infuriated as well. As far as he was concerned, Liu Hai was a simple man with all brawn and no brains, and there were some things that didn't go through his brain at all.
"Alright, since Brother Yun has said that it's a good thing for the city, then there's no harm in making this decision." In the end, it was the middle aged man who seemed like a scholar who made the final decision.
