The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 678: Chapter 339 Zhi Ling Changes Identity_2
 

“`

He chose Zhi Ling and began to construct a virtual identity for her. The transformation of identity was under his control; Zhi Ling could not change it on her own.

Soon, within the virtual identity interface, an image of the Vermilion Bird descendant that he had envisioned in his mind appeared, a faint red tint with some minor changes to her body.

After the construction was complete, Lin Yi confirmed the changes and smiled at Zhi Ling, saying, “Zhi Ling, get ready, the transformation is about to begin.”

Excited, Zhi Ling nodded, looking at her own body with anticipation.

Lin Yi then selected the transformation option within the virtual identity. Zhi Ling’s Lightning Mink form swiftly began to change, gradually shifting into a pale red bird.

However, this bird was larger than the average one, resembling an eagle, its body emanating an aura of flames and impeccable beauty, with long tail feathers that exuded an air of nobility.

Once the transformation was finished, Lin Yi used a spell to form a mirror so Zhi Ling could see her full appearance.

When Zhi Ling saw the beautiful Vermilion Bird in the mirror, excitement flushed her face. She tried to fly up and down, and to her surprise, she could indeed fly. Thus, she excitedly flapped her wings inside the Cave Mansion.

Seeing Zhi Ling’s behavior made Lin Yi smile. He had felt the same thrill when he had transformed into a Jiao Dragon, wanting to somersault in the air a bit longer, but at that time, in front of the Spirit Demon-Slaying City, it wasn’t appropriate to stay in the air for too long.

Once Zhi Ling had her fill of flying, she came to his side and gently pecked his face with her pointed beak, “Master, thank you, I’m so happy. Will I always look like this?”

“Do you want to?” Lin Yi asked seriously.

Zhi Ling shook her head, “I don’t want to stay like this forever, it’s just an illusion, and besides, I think my original form is quite nice too.”

“That’s right. It’s good that you understand that,” Lin Yi gently patted Zhi Ling’s back. Even if the virtual identity was appealing, it was important not to become too engrossed in it. The fake, after all, is always fake, even if the virtual identity could stay effective forever, it should not be taken too seriously.

Cultivation is also known as seeking the truth, and what is cultivated is the true self.

“Rest for a bit, and then I’ll take you to meet White Painting and the others. Remember to keep this a secret,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

Zhi Ling nodded vigorously, and tried to pat her chest with her paw, only to realize she now had wings instead and awkwardly scratched her head with them, “Master, I understand, I will definitely keep it a secret.”

Afterward, Lin Yi and Zhi Ling rested in the Cave Mansion for a while before moving to the grand hall above. He summoned White Painting and the others through a whisper. Monster Beasts, when they spoke, imitated human language.

Therefore, in everyday conversation, creatures of Cultivation were often referred to as ‘people’ rather than ‘demons.’ For instance, they would say where have the people gone rather than where have the demons gone.

Upon entering, White Painting and his companions were struck by the sight of the pale red bird next to Lin Yi, their expressions showing a flicker of movement.

To them, this pale red bird carried an air of nobility, a temperament similar to that of the Golden Serpent from the Immortal Realm. Could it be that it, too, had descended from the Immortal Realm?

Especially Big Bull, who had seen Tian Ba’s Fire Spirit Bird before, knew it couldn’t compare to this pale red bird on any level.

After only a glance, the four of them averted their eyes and bowed to Lin Yi, “Greetings, Senior.”

Lin Yi nodded slightly and snapped his fingers. The Vermilion Bird that had been flying in the sky flew over and perched on his shoulder, “Let me introduce you. This is my Spiritual Pet, named Xian Yu, a descendant of the Vermilion Bird, not yet at the Transformation Realm.”

They were taken aback. Indeed, this Senior Long Ao must have descended from the Immortal Realm. All beings within the Cultivation World were familiar with the storied name of the Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Sacred Beasts, the Four Spirits of Heaven, representing the divine spirit of fire. No wonder it radiated such a noble presence.

Just as they were about to bow once more, Lin Yi gestured for them to stop, “No need for formalities, it’s just an introduction. Please take a seat.”

The four of them thanked him and took their seats below Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked at White Painting and his group and began, “I’ve called you here to share my future plans. I’ll be residing in Demon City for a while to understand and learn about the history of the Demon Tribe. If any of you wish to leave, you’re free to do so at any time. I’ll speak to the Golden Peng Clan to ensure you’re escorted safely.”

“`

Having finally infiltrated the Demon Tribe, it was natural to eagerly gather resources, and afterwards, he had already formed a comprehensive plan in his mind.

Since he had come to the Immortal Realm as a descendant of the True Dragon, he shouldn’t just focus on gathering resources; he also needed to do some things.

White Painting and the other three exchanged glances, all giving a fist-and-palm salute, “Predecessor, we wish to stay.”

“Good, if you wish to leave in the future, just inform me, you may go down now.” Lin Yi nodded, he wouldn’t stay within the Demon Tribe forever. When the time came that he could no longer gather enough resources and the title of Path of Survivor upgraded, allowing him to open up his Demon race identity, he would definitely go to the Demon race to continue gathering resources.

The Demon race originated from within the Dark Abyss, and neither the Human Cultivators nor the Demon Tribe had been able to locate its position. According to the deductions of Tai Xuan Dao Palace, this Dark Abyss might very well be connected to another space.

After White Painting and the other three had left, Lin Yi took Zhi Ling into the Cave Mansion, cooked a meal, and enjoyed it heartily.

Even at a higher Realm, the enjoyment of delicious food was indispensable.

The next day, two Integration Stage demons of the Golden Peng Clan arrived at the entrance of the Cave Mansion to escort him to meet the Tribulation Patriarch of the Golden Peng Clan.

Lin Yi deactivated the Formation and, with Zhi Ling, stepped out. Both of their gazes were immediately captivated by Zhi Ling’s appearance, that faint red color, like flames, impossible for anyone to ignore.

After a closer look at Zhi Ling, the two Integration Stage demons showed a hint of astonishment on their faces. This was clearly not a creature of the Spirit Profound Realm; it looked just like the legendary Vermilion Bird, the sacred spirit of the Immortal Realm.

Through the sensation of its aura, they realized that the bird’s Realm had not yet reached Transformation.

“Dragon friend, might I ask about this faint red bird accompanying you…” One of the Integration Stage Golden Peng couldn’t help asking.

“This is my Spiritual Pet, named Xian Yu, and has come down with me,” Lin Yi said simply.

“Then what is its relation to the legendary sacred spirit Vermilion Bird, as they seem somewhat similar?” The Integration Stage Golden Peng continued to inquire.

Lin Yi stroked Zhi Ling’s head and said with a smile, “It is a descendant of the Vermilion Bird and possesses a certain Bloodline.”

The two Integration Stage Golden Peng felt a shock in their hearts, it seemed, the arrival of Long Ao as a friend from the Immortal Realm was indeed an unquestionable fact.

“Such an extraordinary Spiritual Pet of Dragon friend Long Ao is admirable,” the two Integration Stage Golden Peng praised with a smile.

Although they were of the Golden Peng Clan and held infinite glory among the Demon Clan of the Spirit Profound Realm, when compared to the legendary sacred spirit Vermilion Bird, they were nothing but one of its feathers.

Lin Yi waved his hand and spoke nonchalantly, “You flatter me, it’s just that coming to the Spirit Profound Realm alone felt a bit boring.”

Immediately after, he went straight to the point and said, “Friends, have you come to take me to see Elder Golden Peng?”

“Yes, Dragon friend, our Patriarch wishes to see you in the Demon Saint Palace. Additionally, he instructs you to bring that white Jiao Dragon with you.”

“Very well, please wait a moment, friends,” Lin Yi nodded, it seemed that the Golden Peng Patriarch and the Fox Clan had come to an agreement, preparing to have that Fox Demon apologize.

After finishing his words, he went back to bring White Painting with him, following the two Integration Stage Golden Peng towards the Demon Saint Palace, with Zhi Ling by his side.

Since it was a virtual identity constructed with reference to the Vermilion Bird, Zhi Ling also exuded that same dignified and sacred aura, and even a thorough examination of its bloodline definitely wouldn’t reveal any weakness.

High above in the sky, they passed a palace where they could see the Flying Spirit Platform inside, intact without the slightest damage.

Seeing Lin Yi’s gaze directed downward, one of the Golden Peng spoke, “Dragon friend, this is the Human race’s Flying Spirit Platform. Some Divinity Transformation Humans from various Cultivation Worlds ascend here after their flight.”

“However, since Spirit City was overrun, the Human race’s Capability has reconnected the Cultivation Worlds linked to this platform elsewhere.”
