The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 655: Chapter 328: The Evolution and Creation at the Tenth Level of Huashen_2
 

At this moment, Lin Yi looked at Zhi Ling, who was cultivating in the Spirit Pet Column, and couldn’t help but shake his head. He had initially let Zhi Ling out with the intention of using the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Profound Realm to speed up its cultivation.

However, he had forgotten one thing, that the cultivators from the Lower Realm all carried an Otherworldly Aura, and needed to undergo Heavenly Tribulations to erase it, whether they ascended or sneaked up.

Zhi Ling, being a creature from the Lower Realm, could not avoid this, and moreover, its cultivation level had only reached the Human Nascent Soul Realm, which made the difficulty of crossing the tribulation even greater.

Therefore, after letting Zhi Ling out to cultivate for a while and observing through the Eye of Emptiness, he sensed the presence of a heavenly lock on Zhi Ling and thus brought it back into the Spirit Pet Column.

Later, after fifty years, he once left the city, teleported to another city, and then went to a dangerous place, wanting to see if Zhi Ling’s Heavenly Tribulation would appear.

If it did appear, it would mean that hiding in the Spirit Pet Column wouldn’t prevent the heavenly lock from sensing it, and it would also calculate the time.

The reason he dared to do this was that once the Heavenly Tribulation came, he could immediately take Zhi Ling into the Spirit Pet Column, out of the heavenly lock’s perception, and naturally, the tribulation would disappear.

Of course, besides the Spirit Pet Column, he was completely confident that the Heavenly Tribulation would not appear.

Because the Spirit Pet Column could shield the heavenly lock’s perception, and the Pills that extend the duration of the Transcendance Tribulation stage in the Dao Palace worked on the same principle, according to some Ascenders who had taken the Pill, they felt a moment of relief after taking it.

However, such Pills were extremely precious and not something ordinary Ascenders could obtain. Lin Yi had to claim the need for a Pill in the name of Alchemy, and after researching the one he obtained, he indeed found that it had the capability to shield against the heavenly lock’s perception.

With this, he was certain that Zhi Ling’s Heavenly Tribulation would not come.

Moreover, when he faced his own Ascension Tribulation, the light eliminated the Otherworldly Aura, and he also comprehended the presence of the Otherworldly Aura. Having frequently researched it on Zhi Ling, he had already made some progress.

In the future, he might be able to actively remove the Otherworldly Aura from Zhi Ling with some methods.

However, just as he was certain, after letting Zhi Ling out for a while, the Heavenly Tribulation still did not appear, indicating that after shielding the heavenly lock’s perception, the arrival time of the tribulation would pause.

As long as Zhi Ling stayed in the Spirit Pet Column and cultivated to the Transformation Stage, crossing the tribulation shouldn’t be a problem.

It was just not known whether the Transformation Tribulation would still be shielded. If that was the case, he could only let Zhi Ling out to cross the Transformation Tribulation.

Lin Yi communicated with Zhi Ling in the Spirit Pet Column for a while, and then, he continued to cultivate.

Thus, in the following time, he continued to learn and “pluck wool” in the Dao Palace. There were quite a few Void Refinement Daoists in the Dao Palace, and as he spaced out his attendance at classes, many Dao Masters didn’t notice anything abnormal.

After all, the cultivation levels of cultivators are not stable. Without diligent cultivation, cultivation levels would gradually decrease over time. This is why cultivation goes against the natural order, requiring relentless progression.

When he first joined the Dao Palace, he chose any Dao Master at the Refining Void Realm, but as his cultivation level increased, he gradually gave up on some Dao Masters at the early and middle stages of Refining Void, selecting only those at the later stages of Refining Void.

The Body Fusion Realm Elders, seeing his eagerness to learn, also opened some extra courses for him.

Time passed, and after more than two hundred years, it had been about three hundred and twenty years since his ascension to the Upper Realm. His cultivation level had successfully reached Great perfection of the ninth level of Huashen.

At this time, his lifespan had only reached a little over eight hundred years. With a lifespan limit of two thousand years at Huashen, he hadn’t reached half of it yet.

Next, it would be to create and evolve the Tenth level of Huashen. Back in the Lower Realm, when he created and evolved the Nascent Soul Tenth Level, it took him about forty years and a large amount of Virtue Points to achieve it.

Lin Yi checked the Virtue Points on his person, and after creating and evolving the Nascent Soul Tenth Level, he had over eight hundred thousand Virtue Points left.

When breaking through to the Huashen Realm, he hadn’t used much, so at the time of ascending to the Upper Realm, he still had over six hundred thousand Virtue Points.

“`

During the challenges in the Tai Xuan Tower, Lin Yi killed a Bear Demon and members of the Demon race who were at the later stages of Huashen. After performing their rites, the Demon race awarded him nearly two million Virtue Points, and the Bear Demon gave him more than one million and three hundred thousand Virtue Points.

Now, his Virtue Points had reached four million, which was even more than what he had gotten from eradicating the Xuan Yin Sect in the Lower Realm.

It appeared that there was a reason these two could be detained in the Tai Xuan Tower, serving as challenge leaders—their hands were stained with the innocent blood of the Human race. Here, unlike in the Lower Realm, there was no need to kill in secret.

Based on the over half a million Virtue Points spent for the creation and evolution of the Nascent Soul Tenth Level, creating and evolving the Tenth level of Huashen with four million Virtue Points should be sufficient.

Considering the time it took for the creation and evolution of the Nascent Soul Tenth Level, even with sufficient Virtue Points, the creation and evolution of the Tenth level of Huashen would take at least a hundred years. Continuing cultivation to Great Perfection and breaking through to the Refining Void Realm, it was unlikely to be accomplished before a lifespan of one thousand years.

After reaching Great Perfection of the ninth level of Huashen, Lin Yi announced that he had learned enough and would close himself off for a period of cultivation.

The numerous cultivators within the Dao Palace found this very normal, as learning did not increase cultivation levels. This Eastern Daoist Friend had been studying non-stop for more than three hundred years, and it was indeed time for him to cultivate and improve his cultivation levels.

When he began to create and evolve the Tenth level of Huashen, Lin Yi released Zhi Ling and provided it with ample Pills for its cultivation.

Zhi Ling still looked small and cute, but it was also eight hundred years old, only thirty-some years younger than himself.

Under the influence of a large number of Pills containing the Spiritual Energy of the upper realms, its cultivation levels were also steadily increasing, but it was still a good distance away from Transformation.

Before Transformation was known as the Bone Refinement Realm, which was not easy to reach.

Moreover, Spirit Beasts had longer lifespans than humans. Judging by the ascent time of the Dan Immortal, White Painting must have had at least two thousand years of life in the Bone Refinement Realm; otherwise, it couldn’t have sustained two failed transcendences.

By the time White Painting undergoes its Transformation Tribulation, his cultivation should have already reached the Refining Void Realm. Then, maybe he could eliminate the Otherworldly Aura, allowing it to stop hiding within the Spirit Pet Column.

Based on his personal experience, the Heavenly Tribulation was not as helpful to Zhi Ling as the awakening of its bloodline.

Since the Spirit Pet Column could shield the Heavenly Tribulation that eliminated the Otherworldly Aura, it probably could shield the Transformation Tribulation as well.

At that time, it would need to undergo tribulation in the outside world, as it couldn’t be done within the Dao Palace.

Because Zhi Ling had been briefly released before being placed back into the Spirit Pet Column, unable to be easily shown to others, Lin Yi had not allowed Zhi Ling to appear in front of others since he arrived at the Dao Palace. He would have to find a place for it to undergo the tribulation.

Lin Yi played with Zhi Ling for a while before putting it back into the Spirit Pet Column. Carrying a Storage Bag filled with Pills, he couldn’t put other items into the Spirit Pet Column and could only let Zhi Ling take them in.

However, with a Spiritual Pet, the Spirit Pet Column could be used as an item column, albeit with a bit more hassle.

Afterward, he formally closed off to meditate, beginning to comprehend the Tenth layer of Huashen. At the start of his meditation, he directly activated the Minor Blessing State to attain deeper insights.

During his meditation, Lin Yi felt the difficulty, which was several times harder than the Nascent Soul Tenth Level. If nothing unexpected happened, the creations brought about by the Tenth level of Huashen and the Refining Void Realm would definitely surpass the spectacle of the three Nascent Souls converging into the Primordial Spirit experienced before.

As the meditation continued, he also took advantage of the Merciful Title’s opportunity to further deepen his insights.

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed. With the assistance of the Merciful Title and a large consumption of Virtue Points, the creation and evolution of the Tenth level of Huashen had entered its final phase.

During the creation and evolution, he felt some mysterious changes in his Nascent Soul, but he couldn’t discern any information before it truly evolved.

Just like the evolution of the Tenth Level of Golden Core, he could only detect some changes in the Golden Core before its successful evolution and could not know the miraculous creation of the Jin Dan reversal.
