The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

The Nascent Soul Realm was two major realms away from Unification: the Divinity Transformation Realm and the Refining Void Realm. Under normal circumstances, without at least two thousand years or so, it was impossible to reach these realms.

The lifespan of the Nascent Soul Realm could reach one thousand years, Divinity Transformation two thousand years, and Refining Void four thousand years.

However, thinking of Lin Yi, who was only one hundred and sixty-seven years old and already nurturing the Nascent Soul, he couldn’t help but shake his head. Surely, Lin Yi could become a Nascent Soul cultivator before he turned two hundred. But as for his future, who could guess?

“By then, you’ll still be my master. I’ll also convey my experiences to you.” Lin Yi teased jokingly.

Zhang Dao Xuan nodded, “Alright, I’ll wait for my disciple to turn things around and become my teacher. So it turns out, I’m not just taking in a disciple. I’m actually preemptively accepting a master.” By the end, he couldn’t help but laugh himself.

After a round of jokes, Lin Yi bid Zhang Dao Xuan farewell and went off to the Spirit Beast Dojo to continue his days-long instruction. As for returning to Liu Yun Sect, he could only do so after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm and acquiring the next Survivors’ Path title.

After his teaching was over, he returned to the cultivation cave and began frantically cycling through the Creation Method, absorbing Spiritual Energy. The Creation Method of the Nascent Soul Realm had already been taught to him by Master Golden Sword through a Scripture Jade Slip.

As for the Creation Method of the Divinity Transformation Realm, it does not exist in the Lower Realm. One could only ascend to the Upper Realm to learn it, and the same was true for other cultivation techniques.

Lin Yi intended to visit the Xuan Tian Realm for information after becoming a Nascent Soul, to see if he could find the Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation techniques. Naturally, he wouldn’t lightly reveal that he was practicing the Creation Method.

As long as someone could get other cultivation techniques in the Divinity Transformation Realm, they could get the Divinity Transformation version of the Creation Method itself.

The Xuan Tian Realm had the presence of a large-scale sect, which might have more close ties with the Upper Realm.

If he really couldn’t find it, he had another method where he could sense it on his own and evolve the Creation Method to the Divinity Transformation Realm via his experiences in practicing the Creation Method.

However, all of these will have to wait until he becomes a God. After all, in the Lower Realm, where he could only fleece Pill Immortal Master, the progress would be very slow. Once he ascends to the Upper Realm, he could fleece more people.

With the cultivation, countless Spiritual Energy fused into the golden pill. As the golden pill rotated, it provided the embryonic form inside with growth energy.

Lin Yi discovered that the energy the baby form absorbed was not unattributable energy within the Golden Core, but seven types of True Original energies. He could feel every type of elemental energy flowing away in the golden pill.

The initial seven types of breath and the pure origin of the Golden Core formed a purple breath, and now this breath has become a Nascent Soul. It seems that, like the Golden Core, it possesses the abilities of seven attributes.

In that case, even if the Golden Core bursts to form the Nascent Soul afterwards, he wouldn’t worry about recreating the miracles of the Golden Core.

Lin Yi had the title of improving the speed of cultivation, which increased the rate at which he absorbed Spiritual Energy. At the same time, the Nascent Soul absorbed energy faster too.

His personal cultivation was essentially cultivation, while the absorption and growth of energy by the Nascent Soul also qualified as another form of cultivation.

During this process, intuition was not the only requirement for a smooth journey. He still needed to perceive, to make the Dao and self granted to the Nascent Soul more tightly integrated. Simultaneously, this would also benefit the growth of the Nascent Soul.

How much energy can be absorbed and to what extent it can grow depends on the degree of fusion of the two things.

However, unlike previous perceptions of the True Self, this stage does not require deep insight into the spiritual world. Just the regular perception is enough, which made the title [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] come into play again.

Amazingly, in just eight years, Lin Yi successfully nurtured the baby form in the Golden Core to its limit. This was the maximum limit that the tenth layer of the Golden Core could accommodate.

He possessed the Eye of Emptiness and could see the Golden Cores inside others. Therefore, he could clearly see that his Golden Core was nearly twice as large as those of other cultivators after reaching the tenth layer.

This also meant that his infant form had twice the power during the gestation period compared to other Golden Core cultivators.

Lin Yi calculated the time, he was nearly 120 years old when he reached Golden Core Consummation. And now, he was already 175 years old, taking full fifty-five years to reach the last hurdle of the Nascent Soul realm, the breaking of the core.

After Zhang Dao Xuan learnt of this, he was full of admiration. To cultivate the tenth layer of the evolving elixir to completion, to comprehend one’s way, realize the true self, and finally gestate the Nascent Soul – all in just 55 years – was simply incredible.

For other Golden Core cultivators, it would already be astonishing if they could gestate their Nascent Soul to its limit in 55 years after reaching Golden Core Consummation, but Lin Yi had also achieved the tenth layer Creation and the Great Perfection.

“Others strive against the heavens in their cultivation, it’s extremely difficult. But when you cultivate, it feels as though heaven itself is assisting you,” Zhang Dao Xuan said helplessly.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh, “Master, this might just be the effect of the Creation Method.”

He truly felt that he had received the grace of heaven, and the arrival of the Title System was the best proof of this.

He didn’t currently want to contemplate where this title came from and whether there was any conspiracy involved; as long as it benefited him, that was enough.

“Perhaps it’s just the destiny toy with men,” Zhang Dao Xuan nodded and then asked, “What’s your plan for breaking the core and forming the infant?”

Lin Yi first bowed with his fists, “Master, I have a request. The phenomenon of my core breaking and infant forming needs to be kept strictly confidential, even you can’t inspect it.”

This was a method he could employ immediately after receiving the fourth-stage title of the Path of Survivor.

If it was not possible to do so, he would consider returning to the Liu Yun Sect now and use the preserved image of the Golden Core to create the illusion of his breakthrough.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to keep up. After all, the hiding effect of his Path of Survivor title was currently at the ninth level, and his actual realm was the tenth layer of the Golden Core, making his apparent realm already the first layer of the Golden Core.

If he could use the hiding effect immediately after receiving the fourth-stage title, it would be the tenth level, and his cultivation level at the first layer of the Nascent Soul stage would also appear as the first layer of the Golden Core.

“Complete secrecy is somewhat difficult to achieve. The changes in the heavenly phenomena and the aura emitted during the core to infant transformation are extremely powerful and cannot be completely covered by a formation,” said Zhang Dao Xuan after pondering for a moment and shaking his head.

Lin Yi thought for a moment. It seemed that he could only reveal his Golden Core first layer realm within the Liu Yun Sect now. Otherwise, by the time he attained the Nascent Soul and received the Title of Survivor, the additional level of the hiding effect could not be used immediately. If he waited until his next breakthrough to use it, it would be too late.

During his next breakthrough, he would be at the second layer of the Nascent Soul stage. Subtracted by ten levels, that would be the second layer of the Golden Core.

Then, he said to Zhang Dao Xuan, “Master, in that case, I will return to the Liu Yun Sect now and reveal my hidden Golden Core realm.”

Zhang Dao Xuan instantly understood and said, “It seems that your divine skill to hide your cultivation level has its limitations. Revealing your first layer of the Golden Core realm now is indeed the most suitable choice. Go ahead.”

Lin Yi nodded, bowed with his fists, “Master, I’ll make a trip to the Spirit Beast Dojo, then return to the sect.”

Afterwards, he teleported to the Spirit Beast Dojo, greeted Purple Ling and Fire Feather, then returned alone to the Liu Yun Sect. Currently, Purple Ling had reached the Golden Core and had two strong bloodlines. If she returned to the sect with him, it would be too easy to be noticed by those who came to congratulate.

Little Purple Ling didn’t have his ability to hide her cultivation level.

After teleporting back to the Liu Yun Sect, Lin Yi did not activate the formation guarding his cultivation cave mansion, nor did he even take a look at the sound transmission talisman flying around outside.

Probably, Master Golden Sword had not yet reached the Nascent Soul Realm; otherwise, his formation would have been shattered long ago. Moreover, Pill Immortal Master would have sensed it and would have notified him.
