The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 481: Chapter 252: Nascent Soul Embryo_2
Most of his money was given to the Immortal Master in charge of his initiation to test his Spiritual Root. With what was left, he couldn’t even afford a single Cultivation Technique, not even the most ordinary one – Creation Method.

His parents were left with no choice but to buy a Martial Arts Technique and brought him home, only for them to be ridiculed by relatives, friends, and neighbors, his family was accused of being overly ambitious.

However, having witnessed the scenery of the cultivators’ Sect, which seemed like a fairyland, and the sight of Foundation Building cultivators flying with swords, the seed of cultivation rooted within his heart.

Latter on, he diligently practiced Martial Arts Technique, made some progress, and happened to meet a Black-cloaked Taoist when he was chopping wood on the mountain. The Taoist saw that the wood he was carrying was too heavy, so he used a spell to make it float.

After witnessing this scene, he immediately knelt and begged the Taoist to take him as a disciple and teach him the way of cultivation.

The Taoist showed a strange smile on his face and touched his arm, saying that he could accept him as a disciple, but he had to pass a test.

He kowtowed strenuously, declaring that he was willing to submit to any test as long as he could cultivate.

Afterward, he brought the Black-cloaked Taoist home. When his parents learned about it, they were overjoyed, and they prepared a feast. This was the most extravagant meal he had seen since he was born.

The next day, the Black-cloaked Taoist told him to go on chopping wood on the mountain and that he would be tested when he returned.

However, that day was one of unease. As the sun was setting, he hurried back to the village with a bundle of firewood.

The normally bustling village was deadly silent. Although there were no signs of blood on the streets, he could smell a strong stench of blood.

He dropped his firewood and hurried home like mad, only to find the Black-cloaked Taoist sitting in the main room and his parents were safe. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked his parents why the village was so quiet, and about the smell of blood.

His parents shook their heads, claiming they hadn’t smelled any blood, and told him not to overthink.

At this time, the Black-cloaked Taoist handed him a knife, asking him to kill his parents as a test. If he did it, the Taoist would teach him the way of cultivation and he would become an Immortal Master, flying with his sword and living a carefree life, like what people saw.

A bizarre smile appeared on his parents’ faces. They urged him to kill them and help him to become immortal, claiming it was their greatest wish in life.

He was stunned, watching the knife on the table, the strange smiling Black-cloaked Taoist, and rushed towards him with the knife in madness.

The Black-cloaked Taoist didn’t dodge. The knife hit an invisible shield and shattered. He, in a frenzy, began hitting the Taoist with his fists, demanding his parents back.

However, his parents just smiled eerily, saying “We’re here. Why would you ask for us back?” With that, they suddenly tore open their clothes, revealing their bodies that were hollow like empty shells, with an unknown black object eroding their flesh.

The Black-cloaked Taoist laughed and said that since he didn’t complete the test, he could join the Xuan Yin Sect to complete the test when he was ready, and then he would be accepted as a disciple.

With that, the Black-cloaked Taoist left on his sword towards the sky, with his parents following behind, waving goodbye to him.

He exhaustedly chased them but was only able to watch the black stream of light getting farther and farther away. He broke down in tears and was discovered by a Loose Cultivator who learned about the incident and took him in. He began his path of cultivation.

Later, the Loose Cultivator passed away unexpectedly. He, enduring untold hardships, reached the Liu Yun Sect, one of the Ten Major Sects, with the motive to cultivate to higher realms and avenge his parents.

However, after spending the majority of his wealth to enter the Outer Sect of the Liu Yun Sect, his impatience coupled with the arduous work of farming, led to his cultivation going awry, resulting in his death.

Lin Yi, like an onlooker, watched the whole story from the original body’s perspective, understanding his resentments, why he was so eager to cultivate, and why his personality was so gloomy.

He was burdened with the blood debt of the whole village, all because he had led a demon into the village, resulting in this tragic event.

He might have been a bystander, but he could empathize with some of the pain.

Being able to fly by sword is an ability only possessed by Foundation Building cultivators. To ordinary people, even Qi Refinement cultivators are like heavenly beings, let alone those who can fly by sword.

“I’m absolutely miserable. Please give me back my body. I need to avenge my village’s people…”

“After witnessing my life’s tragic path, can you still brazenly occupy my body?”

“You’re nothing but a bandit, a demon just like that black-cloaked Taoist…”

“Please give me back my body. It rightfully belongs to me…”

The original body’s alternating anger and pleading echoed in his mind, along with the images of its tragic life, emerging like omens, creating an irresistible impulse to surrender the body.

At that moment, Lin Yi saw Old Huang in his recollections and thought of his promise to him. A smile emerged on his face as he slowly regained consciousness. He chuckled, “Give it back to you? You must be joking. I have almost finished cultivating my technique. You want to take back the body just because you say it’s your turn?”

He was on the verge of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, which was like a warrior having the Six Divine Equipment, or a chess player having a powerful formation. At this point, someone trying to snatch his victory just because they said, ‘it’s my turn’, was absolutely ridiculous.

He had struggled for so long and was now on the verge of becoming invincible in the Heng Yuan World. How could he possibly lay down all his efforts for someone else’s benefit?

“Seeing my miserable life, you can remain so cold-hearted. You’re occupying my body, I must reclaim it…”

“I may have been called a good person, but I’m not a saint overflowing with compassion. It’s impossible for you to reclaim your body. That’s my final decision,” said Lin Yi indifferently.

“By occupying my body, you inherit all of my burdens, including my hatred. You have to shoulder my blood feuds. This is Karma…”

Lin Yi shook his head, “Your tragic life has nothing to do with me. However, I sympathize with you. Perhaps one day, I could help you seek revenge. But it’s not my burdens to bear.”

“As for Karma, it wasn’t my choice to come here and take over your body; it was the will of the heavens. So, you should seek your karma from them.”

“Furthermore, everything inside this body belongs to me as they were produced through my own cultivation. You have no power over them. Before you depart, have something to eat for the journey,” Lin Yi said, manifesting some roasted meat in the spirit world, and handed it to his original body.

With a complex expression, the original body grabbed and took large bites of the meat, gradually fading into nothingness, “Thank you for avenging me.”

Upon hearing the original body’s final words, Lin Yi let out a sigh. Everything in front of him started fading, and he emerged from the spirit enlightenment world. He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a perfect world around him.

Something came to his mind, and he first deactivated the Minor Blessing State. Looking at his remaining Virtue Points, he couldn’t help but chuckle. He had only used up fifty thousand Virtue Points.

Next, he glanced at the time recorded on the nearby Formation. His closed-door meditation had taken eleven years, shorter than he had expected.

Given that he had only used up fifty thousand Virtue Points over the past ten years, it was evident that his success in the spirit enlightenment world was primarily due to his own willpower overpowering the original body, not the effect of the Minor Blessing State.

As Lin Yi’s consciousness descended into his Dantian, he could sense a life-force within his Golden Core, even without using the Eye of Emptiness. Prior to the stage of transforming the Golden Core into a Nascent Soul, cultivators couldn’t see the interior state; they could only perceive the existence of a life force.

With the Eye of Emptiness, he saw through the Golden Core and witnessed the transformation from a purple gas to a baby-like figure; its facial features were surprisingly similar to his own.

What used to be the physically dense interior of the Golden Core had now transformed into a Pill Liquid, as if it was nourishing and fostering the growth of the Nascent Soul.

An expression of awe crossed Lin Yi’s face. Cultivation was indeed a miraculous process. At this moment, he had successfully passed the first hurdle of the Nascent Soul Realm. With his rich spiritual energy in the Golden Core, plus the Five Element Spiritual Energy around him, he estimated that it would take him less than ten years to transform his Golden Core into a Nascent Soul.
