The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 663: Chapter 332 Take Care, Fellow Daoist_2
 

Lin Yi nodded slightly, “Eastern Daoist Friend, take care, I need to stay here for a while to formulate the follow-up plan.”

Invincible East’s clone decided to continue adventuring in the Green Mist Area, which was quite a normal thing to do. After all, it would be inappropriate to leave Green Mist Area immediately after arriving.

“Take care.” After Invincible East said his last words, a decaying and declining aura emanated from his body as he left the Cliff Cave Mansion.

“Take care.” Lin Yi watched Invincible East leave, sat down cross-legged, and seeing the empty cave, he shook his head with a smile. It was just like his Dantian now.

Although the loss of the three Nascent Souls’ Fruit of Dao had significantly reduced his strength, he had gained his own body’s Creation Method. The three strands of aura had become stronger following the previous infusion of Spiritual Energy.

Even if he could not match the powerful strength of the three Nascent Souls now, it was enough for self-preservation.

However, these three strands of aura could not transform into the Five Elements; they could only be released in the form of Yin and Yang Energy, including the Golden Human Energy of the Middle Dantian.

Yet, Lin Yi was not disappointed at all; instead, he was full of surprise because this Yin and Yang Energy was much stronger than the Five Elements, which were born from Yin and Yang.

If these three strands of aura could merge into one in the future, it might form even stronger Hongmeng Purple Qi or Primordial Chaos Energy.

The reason he was staying here was indeed to devise a plan.

It had been over five hundred years since his ascension to the higher realms. Twenty years ago, the Demon Tribe once again brought White Painting to the front of Demon-Slaying City, cut off one of its horns that had grown after transforming into a Jiao Dragon, and issued a threat: if Dan God Zhang Dao Xuan did not appear after a hundred years, they would turn the demon into human form and cut off its hands and feet.

It was during his seclusion that Lin Yi, through the Tai Xuan Mirror, learned of this information. Regrettably, he had not reached the Refining Void Realm and had no power to rescue White Painting.

When Zhang Dao Xuan founded the Pavilion of Profound Dao, he also accepted some disciples. It was said that two of them, who were at the Refining Void Stage, went to Demon-Slaying City to rescue the spiritual pet of their Master who had ascended before them.

Regrettably, they could not even withstand a single finger from a Great Demon of the Integration Stage. Although they released their Flying Swords through a Formation, their swords eventually snapped, and their Primordial Spirits suffered severe damage, forcing them to watch as one of White Painting’s dragon horns was sawed off, powerless to intervene.

Therefore, the primary task now was to find a chance to sneak into the Demon Tribe and rescue White Painting.

Of course, he had another task once he reached the Demon Tribe.

It had been over five hundred years since he ascended, and his lifespan had reached more than eleven hundred years. However, during these years, not a single Cultivator from the Xuanheng Realm had ascended.

The lifespan limit of Nascent Souls was only a thousand years, and even Xu Yu Rou had reached her lifespan now.

More than a hundred years ago, Lin Yi had also inquired with Elder Peng of Qinglian Spirit City and learned some bad news. Two hundred years after his ascension, some turbulence had appeared in the space beneath the Flying Spirit Platform, leading to an increase in spatial turbulence that made it impossible to maintain a stable Ascension Tunnel.

As a result, Ascenders from the six Cultivation Worlds below might likely be caught in the spatial turbulence, with only the exceptionally lucky ones able to successfully ascend.

However, the higher realms had no way to intervene, except to inject more Spiritual Power to maintain the stability of the Ascension Tunnel as much as possible. In the more than three hundred chaotic years since, only one otherworldly Ascender had fortuitously succeeded, and when recounting the process of ascension, dread filled their heart.

Inside the Dao Palace, Lin Yi had also looked through relevant records, confirming the existence of the spatial storms which were random, unpredictable, of indefinite duration, and even the power of the Dao Palace could not halt them.

Because this involved the Laws of Space, only Mahayana Cultivators who had successfully Crossed Tribulation had the possibility of touching these Laws. Regrettably, high realm Cultivators entering the Lower Realms’ space would cause even greater instability, not to mention that Mahayana Cultivators would not be able to master the Space Law in a short time.

According to the information he had gathered, being swept away into spatial turbulence during ascension typically resulted in two outcomes: either being swept deeper into space, ultimately unable to escape and perishing, or by chance, being carried through a rift into the upper realms.

Of course, there’s also the final possibility, which is to rely on strength to escape from the space turbulence and then find a crack leading to the higher realm. However, for a cultivator at the stage of Divinity Transformation to escape space turbulence is almost impossible.

Space turbulence has always existed; it’s only that when there are no space storms, the turbulence is rare, and ascenders are almost unlikely to encounter it.

If one is fortunate enough to pass through a crack to enter the higher realm, the location is unpredictable. One could appear at any place within the Spirit Profound Realm, including the territories of the human race, the Demon Tribe, and the Demon Clan.

There have been ascenders who were swept into the higher realm by space turbulence, and unfortunately entered the Demon Clan Territory; they didn’t even have a chance to escape. Those who entered the Demon Tribe Territory also suffered terribly, but there was still a possibility of survival.

Therefore, the purpose of going to the Demon Tribe, apart from rescuing White Painting, was to look for potentially existing cultivators from the Lower Realm.

Lin Yi felt that among the cultivators he was acquainted with, Master Golden Sword was most likely to reach the Deification Realm, and Xu Yu Rou as well—after all, his direct disciple had received his teaching for a long time and had greatly improved her understanding.

As for the disciples of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, Yu Huan was also very likely to break through, as her cultivation talent was no less than that of Master Golden Sword.

For human cultivators to go to the Demon Tribe was undoubtedly a suicidal act, but fortunately, the title of Emperor of Survival had lifted the restrictions on virtual identities of demonkind, allowing him to assume a virtual Demon Tribe identity to enter their territory.

However, he was now around Green Mist City; without a teleportation array, flying on a sword from here to the Border Spirit City, which is close to the Demon Tribe, would take too much time.

To obtain an Identity Jade through normal channels would require a check by the Tai Xuan Mirror, and if there was any otherworldly aura, it would be detected, just like the inspection in the Ascension Hall, which could directly reveal the cultivation world from which one ascended.

Based on previous experience, he knew his Xuanheng Realm would surely be on the blacklist of the Creation Method’s enemy organizations; once detected, that organization would definitely be notified.

Of course, Lin Yi had made preparations in advance and obtained some Communication Talismans from scalpers, where there is demand, business will arise.

These scalpers could help some unregistered individuals quickly obtain Identity Jades. As long as they did not go to the various Spirit Cities and only lived in the ordinary cities, using things like the teleportation array, they would not encounter problems.

However, once they went to the various Spirit Cities, the loophole with the Identity Jade would be discovered.

Those without status, or ‘black households,’ are typically cultivators who have seriously violated the rules of the Dao Palaces or certain Spirit Cities and have had their identities erased; most of them are fugitives.

Nevertheless, he was determined to go to the Border Spirit City. If he did not pass through the Spirit City to get to the Demon Tribe, he would have to traverse towering mountains filled with dangers that even the Demon Tribe did not dare enter lightly.

Lin Yi thought it would be best to obtain a normal identity. With the appearance of his original body, he felt a sense of being locked onto by destiny.

After staying in the outside world for two hundred years and enduring four Heavenly Tribulations, he would eliminate the otherworldly aura and could obtain an Identity Jade as a native cultivator.

However, White Painting and friends from the Lower Realm who might have successfully reached the higher realm could not wait for two hundred years.

Alternatively, he could create a new human identity with the virtual identity granted by the title of Emperor of Survival.

Since this was created in the higher realm, it would not carry the otherworldly aura of the Lower Realm.

With such an identity, however, he would no longer be able to infiltrate the Demon Tribe successfully.

After some thought, Lin Yi decided to first study the otherworldly aura. Now that he had reached the Refining Void Realm, perhaps he could see the existence of the otherworldly aura with the Eye of Emptiness.

As for the Pill that extended the period for Crossing Tribulation within the Dao Palace, though it could suppress the otherworldly aura and deceive destiny’s sensing, it could not fool the identity aura check of the Dao Palace’s Tai Xuan Mirror.
