The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 459: Chapter 241: The Ability of the Pale Gold Mouse_2
As for the Space Law, although he gained insight for just a few seconds, he still reaped significant benefits. After all, Laws such as these are perhaps only clearly perceivable after ascending to Immortality. Yet, he was able to come into contact with them during his Golden Core Stage.

Zhi Ling and the Guardian Beasts, looking at the calming skies, were filled with reluctance. Without the elder White Painting, the safety of the Secret Realm Medicinal Garden now relied on these Guardian Beasts.

Just then, a gigantic shadow of a black bear gradually appeared in the sky. It expanded from small to large, and in the end, it was even larger than White Painting’s body, making a deeply impactful sight.

Lin Yi, standing on the mountaintop and observing this scene, was struck with awe. This was the tallest peak around, yet he had to look up to see the face of the black bear.

What kind of powerful Monster Beast exists in this Secret Realm, forming such a colossal illusion? It was as if his essence formed a Heavenly Law, similar to a Primordial Spirit.

Zhi Ling, upon seeing this huge black bear, got so frightened that it immediately hid in the pocket of Lin Yi’s clothes.

The three Guardian Beasts, the Golden Ape, the Green Python, and the White Deer, had their facial expressions drastically change upon sighting it. The Golden Ape clenched its fists in readiness, portraying an eager disposition to fight, saying, “Master, the big black bear Monster has brought its troop again. I will go and kill them.”

Zhang Dao Xuan, however, remained undisturbed. He looked up to the black bear in the sky, appearing indifferent, “Don’t panic, let’s first see what they aim to do.”

At this time, Lin Yi used the Spirit Wood Technique and saw a group of Monster Beasts appearing outside the island. Standing in the middle was a massive black bear. The illusion seemed to emanate from it.

Moreover, a light golden small mouse with a beautiful appearance was lying on the shoulder of the black bear. This reminded him of the information he got from the interaction with the three spirit beasts. The Monster Beast that could break the Giant Spirit Tree medicinal garden array method was a mouse.

If everything goes as assumed, it should be the one on the black bear’s shoulder. Otherwise, what merits would a mouse possess to dare to climb onto the shoulder of a black bear Monster?

However, from the Spirit Wood Technique, it seemed that the black bear’s realm only matched that of a human’s Foundation Establishment Stage, not having reached the Golden Core Stage. Even so, the Monster Beast minions around it had several that matched a human’s Golden Core Realm. Could it be that the bear Monster was hiding its true cultivation levels?

After mulling it over, Lin Yi used the Eye of Emptiness once. Without the assistance of crisis and karma titles, purely relying on the power of Eye of Emptiness itself, when he focused his gaze on the black bear, he found that the power within it was tranquil.

Afterward, his gaze moved onto the mouse, and he astonishingly found that the giant illusion in the sky was connected to the body of the mouse. It was originating from the mouse.

So the mouse was pretending to be weak to take advantage of the situation, using its divine skills to project the bear to serve as a banner.

Under the effect of the Eye of Emptiness, Lin Yi found that the illusion’s divine skills seemed to be unleashed through the power of Bloodline. Even if he could see through the essence, he couldn’t replicate it.

If it’s the power of the Bloodline, then it was explainable. Some animals, although very weak, evolved self-defensive abilities through certain fortuitous encounters, such as the power to disguise themselves or mimic other animals’ voices, to scare off enemies and escape pursuit.

The tiny mouse in front of them that was able to break the formation laid down by the Pill Immortal Master should have a very weak combat power. Therefore, its ancestor evolved this kind of power to scare off enemies.

No wonder the Pill Immortal Master seemed completely unperturbed, probably because he knew the mouse’s trick for a long time but didn’t expose it, just for amusement.

In that case, there was no necessity for him to expose it either. Keeping this little thing around could offer some entertainment and help him kill time when bored.

However, through a deep investigation using the Eye of Emptiness, Lin Yi found that this little mouse’s Bloodline was not very strong. The fact that such a level of Bloodline power could emit such a large shadow of a black bear indicated how high the limit of its Bloodline was.

Perhaps, in the case of a dense Bloodline, this black bear would not be an illusion but a substantial entity. Of course, he speculated that even in its tangible form, it would be just for intimidation and wouldn’t have real fighting power.

Just like his “showing all the cards” title, it could enormously increase his external cultivation levels. However, under normal circumstances, it was more bark than bite.

Since he had already exceeded the strength of one realm by refining Golden Cores with the Creation Method, under the effect of the “showing all the cards” title, his external cultivation level was of the Early Foundation Building Stage, yet the power he could exert reached the Mid-stage Foundation Building.

“Lord of the Secret Realm, we came especially to congratulate your Spiritual Pet on its ascension,” said the awe-inspiring shadow of the Black Bear, its voice echoing convincingly against the nearby mountains. If an ordinary human were around, their ears would likely bleed from the force of it.

A fine smile spread across Lin Yi’s face as he saw the little mouse beside him, tightly clenching its paws. It seemed to be trying its very best to allow the Black Bear shadow to speak.

But being able to speak added to its dominance, as only Monster Beasts that had transformed could speak the human language. This explained why the shadow could make all the Golden Core Monster Beasts in the Secret Realm bow down to it.

From the looks of the small mouse, it wouldn’t be able to keep up the chatter much longer without showing signs of fatigue.

“Since you’re here to give congratulations, where are the gifts?” asked Zhang Dao Xuan lightly.

“Here is the gift,” declared the Black Bear shadow, his voice resonating powerfully.

The mouse on his shoulder turned its head to signal a Golden Core Great Monster, who brought forth a brocade box and opened it.

Zhang Dao Xuan gestured with his hand and the brocade box floated to him. After taking a glance, he laughed, “Using the Spirit Grass you stole from my garden as a gift, isn’t that rather insolent?”

“The gift has been given. Today, our motive for being here is to live peacefully, without any more trouble regarding your Medicine Garden,” the Black Bear shadow coldly retorted.

“However, you also need to provide the method that allowed the White Snake to successfully go through Transformation Heavenly Tribulation. Otherwise, there will be chaos in this Secret Realm. When those cultivators come in, this place will turn into a bloodbath.”

At this moment, signaled by the mouse, the surrounding Monster Beasts all started to riot.

Lin Yi found this somewhat amusing and spoke up, “I say, you Monster Beasts are rather foolish. Instead of living a good life, you choose to follow that big Black Bear and stir up trouble.”

“If you become my master’s disciples, all the Spirit Grass that you wish for, including the method for White Painting to successfully Cross Tribulation, can be easily obtained. Is all this effort really necessary?”

“Moreover, my master won’t treat you as beasts of burden, instead he will patiently guide you, helping you ascend to the Upper Realm.”

Then, he pulled the Golden Ape over, patted it on the chest, “Look at this Golden Ape, so well-fed, enjoying good food and drink every day, much more comfortable than your life, hiding in the Secret Realm.”

The Golden Ape played along, flexing its arm to reveal large muscles and added, “Ah Yi is right, it’s great being under my master’s command. Join his team, enjoy good food and drink, and comfortably cultivate until ascension.”

Having been around Lin Yi for a long time, the Ape had picked up some human phrases.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but smack the Golden Ape on the head, “What are you doing? Trying to lure them with all this grand talk, asking them to be your ….no, to be other beasts junior.”

“I can’t very well be having them be my boss, can I?” the Golden Ape grumbled.

“You kid, always stirring up trouble.” Zhang Dao Xuan commented with a shake of his head and a smile.

The Monster Beasts outside, after hearing Lin Yi’s words, suddenly felt that they made sense. Why should they contend with the Lord of the Secret Realm? It’s not as if becoming his follower would be an embarrassment, nor would they be reduced to beastly burden.

Particularly among the Golden Core Great Monsters, some were quite moved. If the White Snake, that had failed twice, could Cross Tribulation successfully and ascend, it must mean that the Lord of the Secret Realm had procured some kind of treasure. Otherwise, it would’ve been impossible for the White Snake to succeed after two failures.

What were they, the Monster Beasts, striving for through their cultivation? Wasn’t it to live longer and transform into human form?

They can simply live comfortably and achieve their goals without fights and stealing, instead of trailing a small mouse, doing petty thieving.
