The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 581: Chapter 297: Zhou Yun Feng’s Lifespan is About to End_2
However, it made sense. After all, the Nascent Soul True Monarch, who had achieved Golden Core with lower-grade spiritual roots, had done so solely due to the teachings of his mentor, Yun Yi Zen Ren. It was only natural for him to want to repay this kindness and remain at Yun Yi Peak.

At this ceremony, the gifts from the Sun Moon Divine Sect were the most astounding. Previously, at the Nascent Soul ceremony of Lord Jade Illusion, Liu Yun Sect gave generous gifts. This time, at the ceremony of a Golden Core Real Person, the Sun Moon Divine Sect reciprocated with two supreme-grade Infant Breaking Pills.

Although an Infant Breaking Pill could not be compared with a Heaven Pill or a Longevity Pill in terms of value, crafting a supreme-grade quality was incredibly challenging. Only True Monarch of DanYang had once succeeded in creating such high-quality pills; most Nascent Soul True Monarchs could only produce medium-grade, and high-grade pills were rarely seen.

Medicine God Valley protected the supreme-grade Infant Breaking Pills left behind by DanYang True Monarch as if they were treasures and would not readily display them. It was previously heard that they would be given one when Grand Master of Liu Yun, Zhou Yun Feng, completed his Nascent Soul gestation and transformed into an infant stage.

Now, the Sun Moon Divine Sect directly gifted two. A cultivator who had just achieved Golden Core wouldn’t need an Infant Breaking Pill. Just one look was enough to see who this Infant Breaking Pill was for.

Within the Sun Moon Divine Sect, Lord Jade Illusion had just stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm not long ago and he certainly could not have refined these pills himself. Therefore, it must have been the Eastern Sect Master who refined them.

The Eastern Sect Master’s cultivation was extremely formidable, and his Alchemy abilities were just as impressive. No one knew what other divine skills were hidden within him, and this alone was enough to inspire a sense of terror.

Liu Yun Sect expressed their deep gratitude to the Sun Moon Divine Sect. With these two supreme-grade Infant Breaking Pills, Zhou Yun Feng’s chances of making a successful breakthrough to the infant stage had slightly increased.

After the Golden Core ceremony ended, Lin Yi didn’t overburden Xu Yu Rou with the affairs of the Yun Yi Lineage; he merely asked her to instruct the disciples in her spare time, while spending most of her time on cultivation.

For this direct disciple, he still hoped she could break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Over the next two hundred years, he planned to impart wisdom constantly. Whether she would be successful or not, depended on her fortune.

By then, it was estimated that his physical identity would no longer be visible. Xu Yu Rou, by achieving the Golden Core, had extended her lifespan by two hundred and fifty years. However, the lifespan of his Golden Core was only remaining just two hundred years.

Even if he reached the Deification Realm, he would not ascend to the Upper Realm within fifty years.

Time gradually passed. In the tenth year that Lin Yi served as Deputy Sect Master, Xuan Sha Zen Ren’s lifespan ended; he had walked through the course of life for over five hundred years.

Thus, of all the Golden Core practitioners in the Liu Yun Sect Inner Door at the time he entered, all but his mentor, Master Golden Sword who had already advanced to the Nascent Soul Monarch, and Lord Jade Illusion who had joined the Sun Moon Divine Sect, had all died.

However, during these ten years, two Foundation Building cultivators had broken through and become Golden Core Real Persons, one of whom was his direct disciple, Xu Yu Rou.

Now, within the Liu Yun Sect, there were ten Golden Core Real Persons.

Although the number of Golden Core Real Persons was fewer than before, there were two Nascent Soul Monarchs, and all the Golden Cores were native cultivators. Hence, whether in terms of strength or unity, they far outshone their previous state.

After finishing his term as Deputy Sect Master, Lin Yi handed over his duties and prepared to retreat for cultivation. At this point, he was three hundred years old and just two hundred years away from the five hundred years lifespan of a Golden Core.

Given the situation in the Cultivation World, it was impossible for him to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Monarch under his real identity within the Liu Yun Sect.

Because a Nascent Soul Monarch, assuming they don’t court their own death, is virtually impossible to die accidentally. Like Lord Xuan Qing, who managed to escape even though surrounded by three Nascent Soul attackers.

If Lin Yi advanced to become a Nascent Soul Monarch under his current identity, he would need to stay in the lower realm for another five hundred years – a tormenting prospect.

His current title, [Survival King], allows him to freely control the concealment and display of his realm, which means he could control the timing of his ascension.

Therefore, before his five hundred years life limit comes, he has to reach the Deification Realm and transform his Nascent Soul into a Primordial Spirit. Then, he might be able to figure out a way to sever the connection to his divine soul strand in the Liu Yun Sect’s Soul Lamp and fabricate his own death.

Lin Yi toured around Yun Yi Peak and then returned to his cave mansion.

For the past twenty years, he had regularly been giving lectures to some of Yun Yi Peak’s outstanding disciples, gradually improving their understanding and making their breakthrough from Qi refinement to building the foundation not a problem.

In his upcoming seclusion, he intended to prioritize increasing his cultivation level, of course, mainly by taking advantage of Pill Immortal Master. He occasionally turned on the Minor Blessing State to comprehend divine skills.

The previous comprehension of Wind Thunder had consumed two hundred thousand virtue points, while comprehending Heavenly Tribulation of Thunder and Fire had consumed three hundred and twenty thousand. This showed just how extraordinary this divine skill was.

Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, sixty years had passed. Meanwhile, the Sect Master of Liu Yun Sect, Jing Yun Zen Ren Zhou Yun Feng, had been in retreat for eighty years, showing no signs of coming out, and his lifespan was also approaching its end.

A couple of years ago Lin Yi had used the Eye of Emptiness to check on Zhou Yun Feng and had discovered that there is just the final step left for Zhou Yung Feng to transform into an infant. This last step was the hardest to take.

When it came to this step, it was all up to oneself, outside assistance was absolutely futile.

Both a bird breaking out of its shell and a cicada emerging from its old shell depend on their own strength. If they relied on an external force, their life and abilities would be affected.
