The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

After reading the information about the Survival King Domain, he learned of its effects. Within a certain range that he could set as the Survival King Domain, his presence and hatred value would get a certain boost. Moreover, the longer one stayed in this domain, the more attention one would draw would gradually decrease.

This effect was the exact opposite of the [I Am Number One] title. Wearing the [I Am Number One] title, the longer one stayed in an environment, the more attention one would draw. Yet the Survival King Domain worked the opposite way.

It was simply a divine tool suited for the Path of the Survivor. If the effect of this domain was infinitely powerful, it would be like a sworn enemy knocking on one’s door, entering the Survival King Domain, and all their hatred disappearing, leaving them puzzled about whom they were there to take revenge on.

Lin Yi looked at the range of the title’s effect, shaking his head. Considering its size, he could only set the Cave Mansion on Yun Yi Peak as his Survival King Domain.

The effectiveness of the domain ostensibly would be enhanced as the title of the Path of the Survivor upgraded. It might even be possible to include the whole of Yun Yi Peak or even the entire Liu Yun Sect in the future.

As the effect of the domain strengthened, if in the future he were to provoke any enemies, it would be enough to hide in the Survival King Domain to ensure his safety.

After reading the title’s effect, Lin Yi used his Divine Consciousness In-sight to observe his three Nascent Souls, filled with emotion. Originally, he thought that he could gestate only one Nascent Soul, but the reality was that he got two for the price of one ─ it really was the work of fate playing tricks on people.

Upon reaching the Tenth Level of Golden Core, his Golden Core was twice as big as an ordinary cultivator’s, and the Nascent Souls he gestated as a result were also twice as large.

He could freely use the strength of the three Nascent Souls, or even combine them. That would render him equivalent to the initial stage of the Three Nascent Souls. With the addition of the extra damage effect from the title and the powerful strength that surpassed the realm from the Creation Method, he felt confident in facing the Deification Realm.

Now that he had entered the Nascent Soul Realm, it was about time for him to venture out. With a year left until he turned 200, he could say that he had achieved his cultivation plan perfectly.

Lin Yi wore the [Survival King] title and teleported from his Cave Mansion to the Spirit Beast Dojo. Since his last seclusion, twelve years had passed, and this time the total duration of his stay in Dan God’s Secret Realm had stretched to twenty-four years.

Upon his return to the Spirit Beast Dojo, he found that an additional statue had been erected in the outer courtyard. However, the line of small characters engraved on it had changed from “Eternal” to “Great”.

After meeting with Zhi Ling and Fire Feather, he went to the Cave Mansion where Zhang Dao Xuan resided.

Upon seeing Lin Yi, Zhang Dao Xuan shook his head helplessly. “You’ve cultivated for more than ten years, yet you remain at the Golden Core First Layer. I have no way of knowing if you’ve made a breakthrough or are merely marking time.”

Indeed, this lad’s concealment technique was too powerful. Apart from what was initially revealed—the Golden Core First Layer—he could get no information whatsoever.

“Master, I have made a breakthrough and have entered the Nascent Soul Realm. The Creation Method is truly amazing, but it’s a pity that I cannot recount it to you,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“You laddie, are you doing this on purpose?!” Zhang Dao Xuan laughed. He was incredibly curious about these odd happenings but annoyed that he could know nothing about them.

This explained why the anomalies brought about by the Creation Method have remained unknown to others. Due to the constraints of the heavenly secrets, cultivators operating the Creation Method could say nothing, even under duress.

As for having others use their Divine Consciousness to probe, the results were likely to be just as elusive.

Lin Yi immediately protested, “Master, how dare I! I merely use this method to express my astonishment at the Creation Method and let you vaguely realize how extraordinary it is.”

Zhang Dao Xuan nodded his assent. The anomalies that occurred during the initial Qi refinement and Foundation Establishment, and when the Golden Core was formed, each time seemed more miraculous, and Lin Yi could also recount them.

After reaching the tenth level of the Golden Core, changes took place, constrained by the forces of fate. It appeared as if he were seizing creation, unable to be understood by others.

“Since you’ve reached the Nascent Soul Realm, attack me once, let me feel it,” commanded Zhang Dao Xuan instantaneously.

Lin Yi gently nodded his head. Even if he revealed his real strength, the Concealed Cultivation Effect of his title was already activated, so it wouldn’t have much of an impact.

He only used the strength of one Nascent Soul to launch an attack towards Zhang Dao Xuan.

Although he deeply trusted the Pill Immortal Master, it was sometimes preferable not to expose all his cards.

Zhang Dao Xuan didn’t resist but used his divine soul to receive the attack, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

“You are only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, yet your strength is comparable to the late stage, and even more powerful. It’s simply incredible.”

“Master, this is the wonder of the Creation Method,” said Lin Yi with a smile. This was also the reason he could contend with the Nascent Soul Realm with his three Nascent Souls.

Zhang Dao Xuan felt a sense of great emotion, “Creation, indeed, is a miraculous cultivation technique. People only consider it a usual technique, but they don’t realize the profound mystery hidden within.”

Shortly afterward, he laughed again and said to Lin Yi, “Now you are virtually invincible in the Heng Yuan World. Do you still intend to keep a low profile? If you reveal your actual cultivation level, you would instantly become an Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Liu Yun Sect, enjoying the respect of the entire Cultivation World.”

Lin Yi smirked, “Master, you’re trying to incite me. I’m still at the Golden Core stage in reality. I won’t become so complacent that I consider myself invincible then act recklessly.”

“Hahaha, I knew you wouldn’t be tempted,” Zhang Dao Xuan laughed heartily. Over the lengthy course of time, he had seen many who lose their wits after breaking through realms.

Afterward, he waved his hand, “You’ve been in closed-door cultivation for over twenty years; it’s time you return to the Lui Yun Sect.”

Lin Yi nodded, “Indeed, the disciples I recruited just starting out haven’t received any instruction from me for over twenty years now; I wonder how they are progressing.”

After parting with Zhang Dao Xuan, he found Zhi Ling and patting her little head, he said, “Zhi Ling, once I’ve taken care of some things at the Lui Yun Sect, I’ll take you to the Monster Forest.”

When he last emerged from closed-door cultivation, he promised Zhi Ling a reward. Though she didn’t voice it, he knew through the Master-Servant contract’s Psychic Sense that she wanted to return to the Monster Forest to find her parents.

In her childhood memories, she vaguely remembered not being intentionally abandoned by her parents. Therefore, she wished to return and search for them.

At the time, Lin Yi had told her that he would fulfill this wish when he next emerged from seclusion. Now, having reached the Nascent Soul Realm, even facing Divinity Transformation, he had victory within his grasp. The once-dangerous Monster Forest was now a place he could easily lay foot in.

Even if there were incredibly powerful monster beasts inside, it was merely equivalent to the human Nascent Soul Realm. Even if there were Transformation Beast who had overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, he wouldn’t be afraid. Moreover, beast that had undergone Transformation wouldn’t dare to use all their strength, or else they would ascend directly to the Upper Realm.

Zhi Ling obediently nodded her head, twittering a few sounds, “Master, I’m not in a hurry at all. You can attend to your business first.”

Lin Yi gave a smile, patted her little head, thinking she must be anxious on the inside. He was now nearly two hundred years old while Zhi Ling was only around thirty years younger.

Having greeted Zhi Ling, he didn’t stay long in the Spirit Beast Dojo before teleporting back to the Liu Yun Sect.

The dojo was no longer managed solely by the three Guardian Beasts of the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden. Other spirit beasts like Big Bull, Tiger Gate, and Golden Treasure, and so on, took turns managing, while the other spirit beasts were cultivating or teaching the disciples within the dojo.
