The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

At the same time, Gold Sword Zen Ren stated that he was also going to seclude himself in the near future, in preparation for breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. If there are any doubts, one should seek Zhou Yun Feng first; do not rush to attack the Golden Core.

Lin Yi agreed as well. As Master Golden Sword indeed had to fully retreat and comprehend the Nascent Soul Realm. The sooner he became the Nascent Soul True Monarch, the more energy will remain for the subsequent cultivation path.

Just as Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng, who only embarked on the path of Golden Core in his two hundred years, with a lifespan of five hundred years, only half is left, the remaining time for breakthrough is extremely short.

During this time, through Zhou Yun Feng, he learned of several senior brothers and sisters who had entered seclusion in preparation for breakthrough to the Golden Core.

Some senior brothers and sisters had secluded themselves several times already, fearing that this time, they are truly going for the Golden Core. Among them were Second Senior Sister Qi Jing Yu and Third Senior Brother Li Yuan Qing, as well as other senior brothers and sisters. Altogether, there were seven or eight people, all seeking to make the Golden Core.

Based on the ratio between Perfect Foundation Building and Golden Core, maybe in the end, only one person could achieve the Golden Core, or they might all fail in the breakthrough.

At the same time, he also learned that some senior brothers and sisters had unexpectedly fallen in recent years, like the Fourth Senior Brother, Yuan Cheng Hua, who enjoyed wandering around everywhere.

During the previous time when The Nascent Soul Ancestor, True Monarch of DanYang, from the Medicine God Valley, helped refine the Heaven Pill , Yuan Cheng Hua, was seen by him. He was wounded all over from his external adventures, and his foundation was slightly damaged. Yet he still presented the image of carefree abandon.

After recovering from the injuries, he continued his journey, but a few years ago his soul lamp extinguished. After an investigation, it was found that he had encountered danger in a hazardous area and had fallen.

There was also the Fifteenth Senior Sister, Yu Wen Qiao, who fell after entering a realm of demonic possession while assaulting the Golden Core. She was the one who named the Golden Qiao Peak where he lived when he first entered the Inner Sect.

Several other senior brothers and sisters had also fallen due to various circumstances, causing Lin Yi to shake his head and sigh. Life was indeed unpredictable, and it demonstrated the difficulty of the Dao of cultivation.

After staying in the Liu Yun Sect for a while, and handling some matters, Lin Yi announced that he would retreat to comprehend the Golden Core Realm.

However, many Foundation Building disciples did not mind. To break through from the Foundation Building Realm to the Golden Core was not so easy, even for Supreme-grade Spirit Roots, it would take decades of comprehension.

Many people felt that Lin Yi had achieved the perfection of Nine Complete Levels of Foundation Building at the age of just over a hundred and ten, which was quite impressive.

However, the lower-grade spiritual roots had great defects. It was possible that from now on, until his lifespan of two hundred and fifty was approaching, he would not be able to achieve the Golden Core.

Zhou Yun Feng’s foundation was damaged, and Lin Yi successfully helped him with some methods. However, the breakthrough of the Golden Core, other than using pills to increase the success rate, no other methods would have any effects.

After Lin Yi returned to the Golden Sword Peak Cave Mansion, he fully activated the formation and then teleported to the Secret Realm. He told his master, Pill Immortal, that he intended to seclude himself to research and create the Tenth Layer of the Golden Core realm, and asked him to look after the Spirit Beast Dojo.

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Dao Xuan was stunned. Then his eyes widened in disbelief and he asked skeptically, “Lin Yi, what did you just say? You are about to create and evolve the tenth layer of the Golden Core, are you playing tricks on me? Have you already reached the perfection of the Ninth Layer of the Golden Dan?”

Being a Pill Immortal, even after the Golden Core, he had acquired the ownership of this Secret Realm. Even then, it was only in his two hundred years that he reached the perfection of the Ninth Layer of the Golden Core.

Now, this youngster, Lin Yi, has only been on the Golden Core for over forty years, and he has already reached the perfection of the Ninth Layer of the Golden Core, was he playing a joke on him?

“Master, how dare I play tricks on you, I have indeed reached the perfection of the ninth layer of the Golden Core.” Lin Yi said with a smile. In terms of cultivation levels, he did not intend to hide them, after all, when breaking through from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul Realm, it would still have to take place in the Secret Realm.

“You kid must be the freak of the millennium. Your cultivation speed is so fast.” Zhang Dao Xuan took a look at Lin Yi, his face filled with astonishment. This kid was still a lower-grade spirit root, could it be that the Practicing Creation Skill yielded significant improvements to cultivation speed and difficulty of breakthrough when refined to a deep level?

Lin Yi couldn’t help but give a fist and palm salute to Zhang Dao Xuan and said sincerely, “Master, it is all thanks to your help. You have provided me with so much assistance.”

In his heart, he thought, if not for skimming off your old majesty, I would probably still be mingling in the circle of Foundation Building cultivators.

Zhang Dao Xuan shook his head and gave a bitter smile, “Given your rapid cultivation speed, there is indeed a chance that you might surpass my cultivation level someday.”

Lin Yi earnestly said, “Master, as the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life. No matter how far my cultivation progresses, you will always be my master. This will never change.”

Zhang Dao Xuan smiled with satisfaction and said with emotion, “I must say, I’ve really taken in a good disciple for myself.”

Then, he gestured with his hand, “Go on, strive to comprehend the tenth layer of the Golden Core, reach the Nascent Soul as soon as possible, and create a miracle.”

This kid is only a little over a hundred years old now. It might really be possible for him to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch at the age of one hundred and fifty, which is terrifying to think about.

Lin Yi saluted, returned to the Spirit Beast Dojo to give some instructions, then closed off to meditate on the tenth layer. During the previous period, he had also awakened and enhanced the bloodlines of the three guardian beasts.

This bloodline should allow them to advance from the human Golden Core Realm to the Nascent Soul. As for later Crossing Tribulation Ascension, when they break through the realm, he will also have corresponding plans prepared.

At the Spirit Beast Dojo, Lin Yi specially instructed Zhi Ling that if it had not reached the human Golden Core Realm by the time he came out of seclusion, it had better be ready to be punished.

Zhi Ling patted its chest with its little paw, indicating that it could certainly do it.

Afterward, he arrived at the Dan God’s Cave Mansion and secluded himself to comprehend the Creation Method, aiming to create and evolve the Golden Core to the tenth stage.

During these thirty years, the title [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] had also successfully advanced from the sixth rank to the eighth, and the accumulation time for opportunities for Enlightenment had increased from twenty days to forty days.

He can accumulate over a month’s worth of understanding from failed attempts to create and evolve the Golden Core to the tenth stage, and then use it all at once.

Back when he was creating and evolving to the Foundation Building Tenth Layer, it was only fifteen days.

Throughout his continuous cultivation and comprehension, Lin Yi further deepened his understanding of the Creation Method. If the Foundation Building Realm merely lays the foundation for cultivators, then the Golden Core realm already qualifies as a true cultivator.

Therefore, the Creation Method at the Golden Core Realm has led him to perceive many mysteries. He wonders if the Golden Core within him will change after creating and evolving to the tenth layer.

As time went by, Lin Yi’s understanding of the Creation Method deepened, but he found that the progress of creating and evolving to the tenth realm was much slower than he had imagined.

If the difficulty of creating and evolving to the tenth realm in the Foundation Building Realm under normal circumstances without the aid of any title effects is 1, then this Golden Core Realm, even if it doesn’t reach 10, it’s at least 8 or 9 in terms of difficulty.

This filled his heart with doubt. Although the Golden Core Realm is a real cultivator, it should not increase the difficulty so much. Is this not encouraging people to give up practicing the Creation Method?

Fortunately, with the Enlightenment opportunities of [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] and the breaking through difficulty reducing effect of [Experienced Level Grinder], and the Eye of Emptiness’s keen insight into the essence, he feels that the time to evolve to the tenth stage of Golden Core should be shortened.

However, even though it doesn’t reach the actual multiplication of difficulty, a quintuple is certain, that is, twenty years’ time.

With a little over thirty years left until he turns one hundred and fifty, it would take twenty years to create and evolve to the tenth stage of the Golden Core. That leaves only a little over ten years to reach perfection at the tenth stage and then break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

It seems that his initial prediction was correct. He will need to add another ten or perhaps twenty years.

Such difficulty made Lin Yi speculate that after creating and evolving to the tenth stage of the Golden Core, the Golden Core inside him should undergo a noticeable change, otherwise, it wouldn’t be worth this level of difficulty.
