The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

At that moment, he sensed the presence of the Pill Immortal Master nearby. He turned and bowed with a fist, “Disciple pays his respects to Master.”

Zhang Dao Xuan waved his hand with a smile, walked over to inspect the mountain rock, and marvelled in admiration, “For the Thunder Spell to have such an effect, it’s indeed astonishing. Lin Yi, within this Heng Yuan Cultivation World, besides the old monster of the Primordial Infant, no one can be your match.”

“Give it some time, and even the old monster of the Primordial Infant, may not necessarily be able to defeat you.”

Within Lin Yi, a Dao Golden Pill had formed. The rate of his power enhancement would greatly surpass that of the ordinary cultivators. If he reaches the Late Golden Core Stage, even those old monsters of Primordial Infant, will not be his match anymore.

“Ah, Master, let’s keep a low profile. I’m only at the Foundation Building Fifth Layer right now, I haven’t reached the Golden Core yet. Let’s talk about being undefeated after hundreds of more years.” Lin Yi coughed and said with a wave of his hand.

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Zhang Dao Xuan shook his head and commented in exasperation, “Your carefulness and your ability to conceal your Realm’s skill are unique. I have spent so many years in the Heng Yuan Cultivation World and have met countless cultivators. There’s absolutely no one as cautious as you.”

Many cultivators cultivate diligently. They all do so to understand the great Dao and ascend to become an immortal, but also for their inner vanity. Their goal is to make those cultivators of the same Realm have to respect them as their senior.

This fellow, however, had no vanity at all. He always kept his cultivation level at an extremely low Realm.

“Master, the purpose of cultivating is not to fight and kill, but to hold onto one’s life, and to reach the final step, which is the supreme truth. Instead of fighting and killing, I would rather outlast others. If they do not give me the chance to outlast them, then I can only bid them an early farewell.” Lin Yi said with a smile.

Zhang Dao Xuan burst into laughter, “Being cautious and decisive in killing, you have surely reached the two extremes.”

“Hehe, thank you for your praise, Master. I will take my leave and return to the Sect.” Lin Yi chuckled and bowed.

Zhang Dao Xuan waved his hand, “Go on, and take a good rest.”

Subsequently, Lin Yi, chanting the Teleportation Mantra, arrived at the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden. At the moment, neither Zhi Ling nor the Golden Ape were cultivating or playing, they were both standing at the edge of the garden, gazing in the direction of the Dan God’s Cave Mansion.

Apart from Zhi Ling and the Golden Ape, there were also the Green Giant Python and the White Spirit Deer residing in the garden, however, they were deeply immersed in their cultivation.

Among the three Guardian Beasts of the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, the Golden Ape most resembled a human. For cultivation, it sat cross-legged; the Green Giant Python coiled its body up.

As for the White Deer, its cultivation posture was rather embarrassing. Its butt was seated on the ground, with its back legs folded like a human being while its front legs rested against each other, which looked rather humorous.

This was probably the reason why the White Deer was reluctant to come to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.

“Zhi Ling, what are you all looking at?” He asked with a smile.

Zhi Ling had already sensed the presence of its master. As soon as it turned its head, it heard Lin Yi’s voice. As it caught sight of Lin Yi, the entire marten seemed extremely excited and darted towards him.

It flew directly onto Lin Yi’s shoulder, nuzzling against his neck continuously. Its small paw started gesturing, and a look of shock appeared on its face, squeaking as if trying to say something.

The White Deer hurriedly put down its hooves and stood upright. A glint of surprise appeared in its eyes, it was indeed strange that it hadn’t detected the boy’s arrival just now.

The Green Python also relaxed its body and swam towards Lin Yi.

The Golden Ape walked over and remarked, “Lin Yi, was the commotion from the direction of the master’s cave mansion caused by you? That Five-Color Tornado, it’s too astonishing. But it also appears to be quite delectable.”

Feeling helpless, Lin Yi shook his head, “Elder Golden Ape, wanting to eat everything will harm you.”

At that moment, the Green Python came to Lin Yi’s side, casting a Divine Intent. The White Deer too, was watching Lin Yi intently, as though waiting for an answer.

They clearly understood what the commotion represented. The Dan God Master could no longer cultivate, and the Secret Realm had not yet opened.

As for other Monster Beasts, it’s not that they looked down on them, but even if given one to two thousand years, it’s doubtful they could make such a commotion, especially within the confines of their master’s Cave Mansion.

Even when the esteemed White Painting beneath the Misty Forest Gorge was undergoing transformation tribulation, it didn’t cause such a ruckus.

The only possibility was Lin Yi. While he appeared to be at the Foundation Establishment Realm, they knew very well that this young man’s realm has likely advanced to Golden Core.

“Senior Spirit Beasts, it is indeed I who has caused this disturbance by breaking through realms. However, I ask for your discretion and kindly request you not to disclose this, especially to Senior Golden Ape.” Lin Yi agreed, nodding his head.

Green Python and White Deer nodded their heads but their hearts were filled with shock. Sure enough, it was Lin Yi who broke through his realm, truly an unbelievable occurrence.

Especially Green Python, who had been with Lin Yi for nearly forty years. When they first met, Lin Yi was just a youngster in the Qi Refinement Realm. Now, he had grown to a point that was shocking to witness.

Seeing the two of them nod, Golden Ape chuckled scornfully, “While you accept being called senior by Lin Yi, he is now a Golden Core cultivator. In a few years, we might have to call him senior.”

Afterwards, it looked at Lin Yi, patting his shoulder carelessly, “Lin Yi, from now on you can just call me Little Ape or Little Gold, only if you don’t skimp on my meals.”

Lin Yi couldn’t help but blink; the transition from senior to Little Ape seemed a bit too abrupt.

On the faces of Green Python and White Deer, embarrassment surfaced; indeed, their current realm was merely equivalent to a human Golden Core cultivator.

With Lin Yi’s Golden Core breakthrough making such a huge commotion, his future achievements would certainly be astonishing.

Each of them sent a Divine Intent message to Lin Yi, agreeing not to call them seniors anymore, but rather the names given by the Pill Immortal, meaning Green Python would be referred to as Little Green and White Deer as Little White.

Hearing the content of these Divine Intent messages, Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile. The Pill Immortal’s naming convention seemed a bit inconsistent. Why had the white gigantic python beneath Misty Forest Gorge been given such a unique name while the others received names like Little White, Little Green and Little Gold?

“Come on, try calling our new names out loud, so I can get used to it,” Golden Ape said, waving at Lin Yi.

Opening his mouth, Lin Yi felt somewhat embarrassed since he was just addressing them as seniors.

Seeing Lin Yi’s hesitation, Golden Ape impatiently urged him, “You’re now at the Golden Core stage. What’s there to be shy about? C’mon, say it out loud.”

The other two Guardian Beasts also conveyed their Divine Intent towards Lin Yi.

“In that case, I won’t mince my words. Little Ape, Little Green, Little White,” Lin Yi declared without hesitation. The feeling was like having an aloof senior brother suddenly calling you younger uncle. It was incredibly satisfying.

A satisfied look spread across Golden Ape’s face as it nodded, “Exactly, it feels more comfortable this way. Although we’re now on the same hierarchical level, remember not to skimp on my meals.”

“Little Ape, rest assured, you won’t be short-changed,” Lin Yi reassured him with ease.

Next, Lin Yi prepared some food and shared a meal with the three Guardian Beasts, before leaving with Zhi Ling, “Little Ape, Little Green, Little White, wait for my return.”

Watching Lin Yi disappear into the distance, Golden Ape furrowed its brow, “I can’t shake off the feeling that this lad did it on purpose. Throughout the meal, he must have called us by our new names dozens of times.”

Both Green Python and White Deer gave him a disdainful look, twisting their bodies as they left the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.

Lin Yi and Zhi Ling traveled back to the Golden Sword Peak Cave Mansion through the rosy-clouds tunnel. It had taken him almost four years to refine the Golden Core, saving a year from his original five-year plan.

Additionally, he spent over three years achieving the Spirit Level Alchemy Art. In total, he had spent almost eight years in seclusion for cultivation.

Except for the occasional visits to the sect for some affairs, he had primarily stayed within the Secret Realm. Now with his Golden Core success, it was time to return to his previous state.
