The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 741: Chapter 370 The Last Step of the Body Fusion Realm_2

During the transmission process, Lin Yi also observed the profound mysteries with his Eye of Emptiness, feeling that it would be of certain help for understanding the Grand Path of Creation in the future.

Before, he could only receive creation energy, but now, he was able to bestow it upon his clone. Even if the clone originated from his own body, this still represented a form of control over the creation energy.

The three clones were in their respective Cave Mansions, receiving the creation aura he was transmitting. They then circulated it within their bodies, merging it with their own auras, and slowly replacing them.

Lin Yi didn’t transmit continuously; he also took advantage of his free time to visit the Hidden Dao Pavilion to study ancient texts and to spar with Human Cultivators among other things.

After all, his reason for coming to the Tai Xuan Dao Palace was to gain experience, and he couldn’t always stay in his Cave Mansion to cultivate.

While transmitting, he also absorbed Spiritual Energy to replenish the consumed creation aura.

This transmission of creation aura didn’t lower the progress of his cultivation levels. His realm was fixed; the creation aura he transmitted was merely a kind of expenditure.

Just like casting various spells would consume creation aura, by absorbing Spiritual Energy or taking Pills, one could naturally replenish it.

During his more than fifty years in the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, Lin Yi had converted the abilities of the three clones from the Five Elements into solely creation aura.

The Invincible East clone embodied Earthly Yin Energy, the Overlord Clone manifested Heavenly Yang Energy, and the Hua Tuo Clone continued to embody Golden Human Energy.

In this period, he had read over a thousand books in the Hidden Dao Pavilion, selecting some useful material for himself. Now that his great task was completed, it was time to return to the Demon Tribe to elevate his cultivation to the Tenth Level of Void Refinement and prepare to break through to Fusion.

After the transmission was complete, the Hua Tuo Clone was the first to leave, while the Overlord Clone remained in the Dao Palace to continue cultivating for some time.

Lin Yi stayed a few more months, then went to Tai Xuan Peak to bid farewell to Zong Yuansong, “Senior Liu, I have obtained what I sought in the Tai Xuan Dao Palace and am ready to return to the Demon Tribe for contemplation. Today, I’ve come to bid you farewell.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Liu Yuansong, seeing Lin Yi was leaving after just over fifty years, couldn’t help trying to persuade him to stay: “Fellow Daoist Long Ao, you’ve been in the Tai Xuan Dao Palace for only a bit over fifty years; the time is perhaps too short. You haven’t touched upon much of the knowledge available here. Why not stay a while longer?”

“Quality trumps quantity when it comes to knowledge. I have resolved the issues I came with, and there is no point in staying any longer. Thank you for the assistance the Dao Palace has provided. I will remember this favor,” Lin Yi said with a smile, insistent in his words.

Seeing Lin Yi’s decision was made, Liu Yuansong no longer tried to persuade him but spoke, “Fellow Daoist Long, there is no need for formality. I hope your more than fifty years in the Dao Palace have aided your successful cultivation.”

“Although my stay was brief, the harvest has been rich and the trip worthwhile. Senior Liu, I shall take my leave now,” Lin Yi said, bowing once again.

Liu Yuansong nodded slightly and escorted Lin Yi to the door of Tai Xuan Hall, watching his figure gradually disappear.

The strength of this Golden Serpent was unfathomable. According to the information from Yang Tianhong, it seemed to be of the Refining Void Realm, yet capable of exerting the strength of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, which was truly unimaginable.

So formidable, it was no wonder the five Demon Ancestors of the Demon Tribe held Long Ao in such high regard, even presenting a hundred-year truce as a gift.

Fortunately, the Golden Serpent had come to this realm solely for cultivation and did not participate in any conflicts, otherwise, had it been a more aggressive Jiao Dragon, the pressure faced by the Human race would have been even greater.

After leaving the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, Lin Yi embarked on the journey back to the Demon Tribe. After traveling through several cities, he arrived at the Spirit Demon-Slaying City. He stayed for a few days, having a good exchange with Yang Tianhong, before bidding farewell to proceed on his way.

As he walked out of the gates of the Main Demon-Slaying City, he transformed into the form of a Jiao Dragon, soaring into the higher skies, heading for the Big Monster City where the Demon Tribe resided.

Along the way, Lin Yi saw some Monster Beasts stationed in the Demon Tribe forest, including those Integration Stage Fox Demons. Even a hundred-year truce had not dispelled these creatures’ desire to attack the Human race.

The orders issued by the five Monster Ancestors were that for a hundred years, they must not attack Spirit City of the Human race. However, if Human Cultivators ventured into the Demon Tribe forest, they were not within the scope of the restrictions and could be killed freely.

Lin Yi didn’t meddle with these concerns. Some humans wanted to try their luck in the Demon Tribe forest and had to bear the corresponding risks. In this way, he flew back to the Main Demon-Slaying City.

Upon reaching the Demon Saint Palace, the four Monster Ancestors stood together at the entrance to welcome him home, “Fellow Daoist Long Ao, welcome home.”

“Thank you for welcoming me, seniors,” Lin Yi said with a cupped fist salute and then, instead of entering the Demon Saint Palace, he went with the four Monster Ancestors to the Cave Mansion of the Golden Peng Monster Ancestor to exchange pleasantries and drink tea.

“Fellow Dragon, how was your harvest from your experience in the Human race?” asked the Rat Clan Demon Ancestor as he sipped his tea.

Lin Yi smiled, “I only researched some archives in the Human race and solved some puzzles. Although I communicated with a Great Tribulation Expert of the Humans, it wasn’t as intimate and easy as when I consult with the four seniors.”

He’ll have to rely on the ‘wool’ of these four Monster Ancestors for his future perfect cultivation at the Tenth Level of Void Refinement and the cultivation level increase after reaching Fusion. A little flattery didn’t hurt.

“Hahaha, Fellow Dragon finally understands. Those humans are cunning and would never impart everything they know. We, on the other hand, have no reservations towards you,” the Serpent Demon Ancestor laughed heartily, patting Lin Yi’s shoulder.

“Indeed, I will need to consult with the four seniors more in the future,” Lin Yi raised his tea cup in a toast to the four Monster Ancestors and then drained the tea in one gulp.

Over the following period, he spent a long time consulting with the four Monster Ancestors, often around the clock. Eventually, after more than a hundred years, his cultivation levels successfully reached the pinnacle of the Tenth Level of Void Refinement, and he entered into seclusion to attempt a breakthrough.

By now, he was over two thousand two hundred years old. The time it took to break through to the Body Fusion Realm was much longer than expected.

After all, the energies contained within the three Auras of Creation were immense, which slowed down the time to perfect the Tenth Level of Void Refinement.

In the process of comprehending the Body Fusion Realm during seclusion, Lin Yi continuously made use of his Merciful Title, which provided him with numerous insights, deepening his understanding of the three Auras of Creation.

As he delved deeper into his comprehension, he seemed to touch upon the direction of the Dao. Fusion was about merging his personal Dao and also represented the construction of the Dao’s Foundation.

Afterward, he would need to continually nourish this foundation to slowly reveal his personal Dao. In other words, Fusion was just the beginning of the Dao, and to truly master the principles of the Dao was even harder than ascending to heaven.

Lin Yi was in seclusion for nearly three hundred years, finally reaching the last step to enter the Body Fusion Realm. If he took this step, he would be able to officially enter the Body Fusion Realm. This was double the time he had initially estimated, over a hundred years.

However, he felt it was very much worth it. This deep comprehension of the Body Fusion Realm allowed him to truly sense a thread of the Dao’s essence.

As he was on the verge of entering Fusion, he could feel the three Auras of Creation beginning to show signs of merging.

However, from the vision within his body, the Heavenly Yang Energy and the Earthly Yin Energy seemed to be converging towards the Golden Human Energy, suggesting that the location of the Union of Three Energies should be in the Middle Dantian where the Golden Human Energy resided.

As for whether the Union of Three Energies would turn into Hongmeng Purple Qi or Primordial Chaos Energy, that would have to be seen after entering Fusion.

Lin Yi pondered for a moment and decided to attempt the breakthrough right there in the Big Monster City. There was no place safer than this, but he still donned his Path of Survivor title just in case the fusion of the three energies created too much commotion. With the help of the Path of Survivor title, he would be able to remain hidden.

If the three Auras of Creation really transformed into Hongmeng Purple Qi, the resulting celestial phenomena would be incredibly powerful and might even draw the attention of the Immortal Realm, which was something that needed to be guarded against.
