The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 497: Chapter 260: Yin and Yang Nascent Soul_2
The name “Monkey God” couldn’t be casually mentioned, as it would stir up his endless memories of Earth. Hearing this name, immediately upon the next second, would recall startup.

Upon seeing that the dull-witted Golden Ape now had a name, the Green Python and the White Deer mimicked it and asked Lin Yi to help name them as well. The Green Python’s name was inspired by the White Painting, while Bai Qiao’s, “Qiao” represented the delicacy of deer.

He originally planned to name it White Spirit, which sounded quite nice, but the White Deer chose another name, saying it didn’t want to have the same name as Zhi Ling.

At the base of this statue, the names of Zhi Ling and Fire Feather were absent. He had previously told these two little creatures to keep their other identities secret, which was probably the reason their names were not carved there.

At this moment, Zhi Ling and Fire Feather rushed out of the inner courtyard room and ran over excitedly upon seeing Lin Yi.

Lin Yi chuckled and patted their little heads. He had sensed them nearby earlier, teaching the Spirit Beast Disciples in the room.

The two tiny creatures have now also become teachers at the Spirit Beast Dojo.

Subsequently, he pointed at the statue and asked, “Zhi Ling, Fire Feather, whose idea was this statue? Do either of you know?”

Zhi Ling’s eyes shifted, and she chirped without hesitation while projecting her Divine Intent, “Master, I know. Little Ape was responsible for this.”

“Oh, so it was Little Ape. He did a good job, and I’m going to reward him.” Upon seeing Zhi Ling’s expression, Lin Yi intentionally said.

Hearing this, Zhi Ling immediately became excited, raising her little paws, “It was me, Master. It was me. I realized the new Spirit Beasts didn’t recognize you and the Spirit Beast Teachers didn’t mention you. So, I discussed it with Little Ape and erected this statue of you.”

“Oh, so it was you, you little guy.” Lin Yi snatched up Zhi Ling, saying so menacingly.

“Master, you tricked me!” Zhi Ling protested with wide eyes.

Lin Yi could not help but chuckle, “I didn’t trick you. Of course, I will reward you. What do you want?” Given that the statue was conceived by Zhi Ling and Yuan Ba, the inscription at the bottom must not have been Zhi Ling’s idea.

“Anything is possible?” Zhi Ling hesitated.

“Of course.” Lin Yi confidently replied. As long as another Nascent Soul was gestated, he would be invincible in the Cultivation World, including the other Xuan Tian Realm.

Zhi Ling wanted to say something but then shook her head, ultimately saying nothing, “I haven’t decided yet, so I won’t mention it now.”

Lin Yi smiled, “In fact, you already said it in your heart. I sensed it. Just wait for me a little longer. The next time I come out of seclusion, I can fulfill your wish.”

The moment Zhi Ling conceived of the idea, he sensed it. This was the powerful constraint of the master-slave contract.

This contract, for a Spirit Beast, actually does not have any benefits. It would be greatly restricted itself, unable to fight back even if it was abused by the master. Due to the effect of the contract, retaliation would occur at the emergence of any hostile intention.

“Thank you, Master,” Zhi Ling stood in Lin Yi’s palm, her little paws clasped together in a bow.

“Be prepared to accept any outcome, regardless of what the reality is,” Lin Yi stroked its little head and gently said.

Zhi Ling nodded earnestly, “Master, I have thought it through.”

“Okay, continue with your classes. I have to go see Master Zhang Dao Xuan,” Lin Yi nodded and put Zhi Ling down.

Watching the two little ones each going to their classrooms, he smiled and went straight to the Cave Mansion where Master Zhang Dao Xuan lived.

As soon as he entered, Zhang Dao Xuan was sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea, and looking at the entrance. It seemed as if he was waiting for him.

Lin Yi walked over, cupping one hand in the other in a fist for a bow, smilingly, “Disciple pays his respects to Master.”

Zhang Dao Xuan took a serious glance at him and shook his head, “You’re currently at the Golden Core First Layer. I couldn’t tell if you’ve made a breakthrough yet.”

“By rights, if you had ascended to the Nascent Soul Realm, the Formation would not be able to cover up all the changes. Could it be, you haven’t made the breakthrough?.”

Lin Yi apologized, “Master, I’m sorry. Due to certain circumstances, I cannot be specific. However, I’m halfway through the process of making the breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Realm. It should happen soon.”

Zhang Dao Xuan expressed surprise, “Oh, it seems a new opportunity has arisen. What are you waiting for? Let’s announce it and you should retreat quickly for meditation.” However, he didn’t question further but urged Lin Yi to continue with closed-door cultivation.

“Sure thing, Master, I’ll take my leave for retreat now.” Lin Yi didn’t waste any more words, sat directly in the Spirit Beast Dojo, and was transported back to his cultivation cave mansion.

Next, he sank his mind into his dantian, controlling the Golden Core to rotate counter-clockwise. As the Golden Core rotated, the Wood Element experienced a change first, morphing from vibrant to a decaying aura.

About a month later, the Golden Core reversed to its limit. The previous Wood Element was completely transformed into a decayed one.

Although the other six Elements seemed to have no changes, through the Eye of Emptiness, he sensed the reversal of the Golden Core’s primal Qi at the depths of these Elemental areas.

Lin Yi continued to let the Golden Core rotate in reverse. After another two months, finding that the other Elements had not transformed yet, he concluded this wasn’t an issue of time for Golden Core reversal but a problem of cultivation level or understanding.

Therefore, he didn’t wait any longer and started extracting a strand of pure primal Qi from the Golden Core as the base for nurturing the Nascent Soul.

As this strand of pure primal Qi emerged, just like when nurturing his first Nascent Soul, the Creation Method started to operate on its own. In every Elemental location within the Golden Core, a strand of primal Qi emerged, each carrying an Element to integrate into the Golden Core.

These Qis, unlike the usual Elemental auras, displayed their opposite side. The Wood Element became decayed, and the Fire Element, which originally represented violence, became chilly, akin to underworld fire.

The primal Qis of other Elements also revealed different facades, some not entirely opposite but different in properties from their original Elements.

These seven primal Qis, integrating with the pure primal Qi of the Golden Core, gradually transformed into a similar purple Qi.

The difference was, compared to the highly positive purple color when nurturing his first Nascent Soul, this purple Qi was murky, filled with a sense of coldness, as if resembling the colors of an apocalypse.

After obtaining the Qi, Lin Yi started imbuing this purple Qi with life. When he nurtured his first Nascent Soul, he spent seventeen years. This second one, as he had understood from last time, took him merely less than two years to form the nascent shape of the Nascent Soul.

However, this nascent Nascent Soul felt like an infant ghost, filled with an aura of Yin Qi.

Lin Yi didn’t feel any aversion. No matter how Yin it was, it was still his child. Besides, whether it was Yin or not, depended on his own character.

Subsequently, he embarked on strenuous cultivation, desperately absorbing Five Element Spiritual Energy to accelerate the growth of his Nascent Soul.

Similarly, after eight years, the growth of this Yin Infant reached its limit. No matter how much he cultivated, it couldn’t grow any further.

Lin Yi felt that it was time for a breakthrough. Now that nearly ten years had passed, only three to four years remained before the age limit of two hundred that he had set for himself.

At the time of the breakthrough, he activated the Creation Method, but his consciousness didn’t enter the Yin Infant. Apparently, a Yin Infant didn’t need to shatter the Void. It should originally be in the Lower Field of Elixir and then truly break the Golden Core to become an infant.

After the Golden Core shattered, the two kinds of Elements, positive and negative, could be absorbed respectively into the two kinds of Nascent Souls, Yin and Yang.

Using the opportunity of [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] enlightenment, coupled with the understanding from the breakthrough of the first Nascent Soul, this time, it only took two years for the Golden Core to crack, presenting the spectacle of an imminent breakthrough.
