The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 687: Chapter 344: The Original Body Crosses Tribulation
 

After four months of uninterrupted learning from the Serpent Demon Ancestor, Lin Yi prepared to take his leave, reasoning that one shouldn’t just shear one sheep all the time. It was necessary to take turns; what if the sheep were to be sheared bald?

He folded his hands and bowed, “Senior Serpent, thank you for your teachings during this period, which have been immensely beneficial to me. I have imposed on you for quite some time, and I will certainly express my gratitude in the future. I plan to bid farewell tomorrow and seek instruction from other seniors.”

Upon hearing these words, the Serpent Demon Ancestor couldn’t help but say, “Fellow Daoist Long Ao, it has only been a few months. Why not stay a bit longer?”

In the past few months, though he had been ceaselessly instructing Long Ao every day, he had been filled with a sense of accomplishment in teaching a disciple and had not felt the slightest bit of tedium.

Lin Yi said with a smile, “Senior, I will definitely come back to seek your guidance in the future. As I am in the Demon Tribe for my trials, I cannot impose on just you alone.”

During this time of instruction, he had fully immersed himself as a student, seriously listening to classes and endlessly praising the Serpent Demon Ancestor.

It was as if a teacher had come across a diligent student. With every lesson, he experienced the joy of being a teacher.

The Serpent Demon Ancestor thought over it and realized that Long Ao made sense. It wouldn’t do for him to be the only one teaching; the other Monster Ancestors were at leisure, “Very well, Fellow Daoist Long Ao, if you don’t learn anything from the other Monster Ancestors, you are welcome to come back to me at any time.”

“Thank you, Senior. I will always remember that I am a descendant of the serpent tribe,” Lin Yi nodded, then drew a large pie for the Serpent Demon Ancestor.

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, a smile immediately appeared on the Serpent Demon Ancestor’s face, “With your words, Fellow Daoist, I am reassured. The gates of the Serpent Clan will always be open for you.”

“You have worked hard, Senior. I thank you once again.” Lin Yi folded his hands and bowed before taking his leave.

He rose from the Serpent Palace with sword control and headed for the Golden Peng Clan Region. During these past few months, he had stayed almost exclusively in the Serpent Demon Ancestor’s Cave Mansion, hardly ever venturing outside.

In the Cave Mansion of the Golden Peng Clan Region, the Monster Beasts were essentially left to roam free. Even so, other members of the Demon Tribe dared not bully them.

As he passed over the Serpent Region, he couldn’t help but notice those grey enterprises still thriving unabashedly, unaffected by his presence.

Beyond the aura of the Demon Tribe, he even felt the presence of the Human race. After using the Eye of Emptiness to observe, he sneered. They were all thrill-seekers, likely traitors swayed by the Demon Tribe.

Upon returning to the Cave Mansion, the Monster Beasts like White Painting who were inside cultivating quickly came out to greet him with a deep bow, “We pay respect to our senior.”

At that moment, Zhi Ling also flew out of the Cave Mansion, her pale scarlet coloration incredibly eye-catching.

“Has everything been fine during this time?” Lin Yi immediately asked.

“Reporting to Senior, all has been well. We have mostly been cultivating in the Cave Mansion and rarely went out,” White Painting said, bowing once more.

“It’s good that there are no issues. You may continue your cultivation with peace of mind,” Lin Yi nodded, instructing them to continue their cultivation while he led Zhi Ling back into the Cave Mansion and asked, “Zhi Ling, how has your relationship with White Painting and the others been during this time?”

A look of excitement appeared on Zhi Ling’s face, “Master, they have been very respectful towards me. When I go out to play for a while, there are Monster Beasts from the Golden Peng Clan to protect me.”

“It seems you quite like this status. Perhaps you should never change back into a Lightning Mink,” Lin Yi said jokingly, seeing how excited she was.

“No, I will always be the adorable Lightning Mink,” Zhi Ling said firmly.

Lin Yi chuckled and petted her head, “Well then, let’s get down to business. Have you heard any useful information?”

Zhi Ling said earnestly, “I didn’t hear anything from the Golden Peng Clan, but while chatting with White Painting, I learned that the Fox Clan member, while torturing her, mentioned that Human Cultivators have mysteriously appeared within the Demon Tribe, seemingly having ascended from the Lower Realm. The Fox Clan also said that once they catch these Human Cultivators from the Lower Realm, they would put them together with White Painting to torture.”

Lin Yi’s expression grew serious. It seemed that indeed, Human Ascenders who had been caught in spatial turbulence had appeared within the Demon Tribe. However, Qinglian Spirit City’s Flying Spirit Platform connected six Cultivation Worlds, not necessarily from the Heng Yuan World.

Yet, as fellow humans, he would naturally not stand by and watch them perish. For the moment, the Demon Tribe hadn’t captured these Cultivators, and he couldn’t possibly search within the Demon Tribe Area. It would be a huge waste of time.

According to the information he had found in the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, the Demon Tribe’s territory seemed even larger than that of the Human race. This is why so many Monster Beasts could be bred, and within the Demon Tribe, there are no Spirit City Teleportation Arrays. If he were to use Sword Control to fly in search of them, he might find nothing even after decades of searching. This was also why the Demon Tribe, despite searching for many years, had been fruitless.

Although he possessed the Eye of Emptiness, capable of viewing one’s own karma, under the guise of a member of the Demon Tribe, he had no karmic ties to his friends in the Heng Yuan World Cultivation community. Moreover, the karmic threads would only appear within a certain range.

Originally, when he was in Qinglian Spirit City and Spirit Demon-Slaying City, because his three Nascent Souls had turned into avatars, he had to reveal his true identity. When he used the Eye of Emptiness to check his own karma, he didn’t see any karmic threads linked to his Cultivator friends from the Lower Realm, except on the day when the Fox Clan was torturing White Painting, when he saw the karmic thread connecting him to White Painting.
