Chapter 625: Chapter 313: Lin Yi’s Plan_2
The organization opposed to the Creation Method had already learned that there might be accomplished Cultivators of the Creation Method in the Xuanheng Realm, so they would definitely pay close attention to me,
If the title “Path of Survivor” could alter the worldly aura on one’s body, that would be perfect.
The current [Survival King] title is a no-go, and I can only hope that after reaching the Refining Void Realm, the title from the Path of Survivor will be upgraded once again.
Of course, there was another option – to pass the four Heavenly Tribulations of my original identity and rid myself of the Otherworldly Aura, which would make me a native of the Spirit Profound Realm and free from these troubles,
As I pondered continuously, a plan gradually formed in my mind. First, I should get to the Tai Xuan Main City and settle down. After that, I would overcome the Heavenly Tribulations of my original identity. It would only take two hundred years to complete, and then I could enter the Main City in my original body,
The key to this plan is to safely arrive in Tai Xuan Divine City. I do have some ideas about it, but I will wait until I meet the City Lord of Qinglian Spirit City tomorrow before making any decisions.
Afterwards, I gathered my thoughts and entered the Cultivation cave mansion to start practicing by absorbing Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Profound Realm had significantly improved in quality, making my cultivation progress faster than in the Lower Realm,
Although most of my Cultivation levels in the Lower Realm were obtained by exploiting the Dan Immortal Master’s generosity, I did not develop lazy habits. When there was an opportunity to exploit, I would take it, but I could also practice cultivation on my own without it,
So I continued to cultivate until the next morning, when a voice transmission from the outside world came in, “Eastern Daoist Friend, please get ready. In two quarters of an hour, let’s meet inside the Flying Spirit Hall to see the City Lord.”
I replied with my Divine Sense on the voice transmission, then detached from my practice and slowly rose to my feet, changing into a brand-new set of clothes, still in vivid red,
In the information I purchased, there were brief introductions of the City Lords of various cities. The City Lord of Qinglian Spirit City, named Yuan Qingquan, was a native cultivator of Qinglian Spirit City. He had spent most of his life in the city,
Starting out as a City Guard, he advanced step by step based on his merits to the position of City Lord. He is respected by all Cultivators of Qinglian Spirit City and is seen as a role model for striving,
He is rather pragmatic and has a peaceful temperament,
After leaving the Cave Mansion, I headed towards the Flying Spirit Hall. At the square in front of the hall, I met Li Qinglin and the other person waiting for me. I greeted with a fist and palm salute, “I’ve met both Hall Masters,”
Li Qinglin and Zhao Yingchang also greeted with a fist and palm salute, “We’ve met Eastern Daoist Friend. Let’s go, we will use Sword Control to fly near the City Lord Mansion and then descend,”
I nodded, and the frosty Flying Sword appeared under my feet. Following the two of them, we headed towards the City Lord Mansion located in the center of Qinglian Spirit City,
After a while, we arrived near the City Lord Mansion. Using my Eye of Emptiness, I detected many strong presences, and the Spiritual Energy here was even thicker than in my Cave Mansion,
I glanced at the City Lord Mansion. It was not as grand as I had imagined but was instead very peaceful, permeating with the fragrance of lotus flowers,
After landing, the Spirit City Guards near the City Lord Mansion checked our identities and then led the way into the mansion,
The beautiful scenery inside the mansion made it seem like I had entered a lotus fairyland, resembling the beauty of Huaxia’s Jiangnan water towns, only filled with Immortal Qi,
Following the Guards, Li Qinglin, the third person, and I came to a hall that did have a bit of grandeur. The decorations on the hall all bore lotus patterns, which were both dignified and beautiful,
The Guard went in to announce our arrival, while we waited outside,
At the entrance of the hall, I saw a familiar face dressed in Gold Armor – the Void Refinement Cultivator Li Zhanzhou who had guarded the city gate,
Upon seeing me, Li Zhanzhou showed a smile, “Eastern Daoist Friend, I have already praised your efforts to the City Lord. Wait for the reward.”
“Thank you, Elder Li,” I thanked him with a light fist and palm salute.
Li Zhanzhou burst into laughter, “Hahaha, come to think of it, I should thank you. That surnamed Bai, that fox whelp, constantly taunted and infuriated me. Now that you’ve shattered its Dao heart, not only did you make the Demon Tribe retreat, but its cultivation levels will likely stagnant as well.”
At this moment, the guard who had gone in to report emerged and said, “Invincible East, the ascender from the Xuanheng Realm, please enter the hall to meet the City Lord.”
Lin Yi nodded and walked towards the interior of the hall. Just then, Li Qinglin and the other person wanted to follow but were stopped by the guard, “The City Lord will only see Eastern Daoist Friend alone; you two please wait outside the hall.”
He glanced back, then proceeded straight into the hall. Apart from the elder seated at the head, there were two cultivators further down: one clad in black armor exuding a murderous aura and the other wearing Daoist robes, pale and beardless, his look filled with a yin softness.
These two seemed to be at the Body Fusion Realm and were probably Spirit City Elders.
“Invincible East, paying respects to the City Lord,” Lin Yi approached and bowed with cupped fists to the elder.
The elder nodded slightly with a smile and said, “Eastern Daoist Friend, please rise. It must have been a tough journey ascending from the Xuanheng Realm to here. Your deeds, as your name suggests, possess an unexpected dominance.”
“To break the Dao heart of that White Fox with mere words on the day of your ascension, compelling the demon soldiers to withdraw, truly inconceivable.”
“The City Lord flatters me; it was just a little trick,” Lin Yi said calmly, relying on such methods could only ensure temporary safety; for lasting stability, one must have strength.
The City Lord of Qinglian Spirit City, Yuan Qingquan, said with a smile, “Your little tricks, however, have granted my Qinglian Spirit City twenty years of peace. Many cultivators within the city now hail you as the savior of Spirit City.”
The cultivator in armor carried a coldness on his face, the killing intent around him growing denser, seemingly dissatisfied.
Lin Yi smiled lightly, “City Lord, the savior of Qinglian Spirit City is not me but the guards who fight day and night at the city’s edge. Without their brave fighting and staunch resistance, my little tricks would have been ineffective.”
At this, the killing intent around the guard in the armor seemed to lessen quite a bit.
Yuan Qingquan lightly nodded and said, “Eastern Daoist Friend speaks the truth. Without strength as a backing, all techniques are emptiness.”
“Even so, you have made contributions. I have reported your deeds to the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, and soon, they should send down the rewards to be infused into your Identity Jade Badge.”
“Many thanks, City Lord.” Lin Yi bowed with cupped fists, not declining the offer. In the Spirit Profound Realm, accolades were essential for swiftly elevating one’s cultivation levels.
Yuan Qingquan waved his hand slightly, “That is the reward from the Tai Xuan Dao Palace. Qinglian Spirit City also wishes to recognize your contributions. Tell me, what is it that you desire?”
Lin Yi pondered for a moment, feeling that it was time to realize his previous thought, and therefore spoke up with cupped fists, “City Lord, I have a request. I’ve heard from the two Hall Masters of the Flying Spirit Hall that ascenders who undergo the assessment can have the opportunity to enter the Tai Xuan Dao Palace. However, it will take more time before the Spirit City Guards responsible for the test will come, and they would also need to guide ascenders from other cities along the way.”
“Therefore, I do not wish to waste too much time and would like to travel via the Teleportation Array directly to the Tai Xuan Divine City to quickly receive guidance from the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, if that would be acceptable.”
He didn’t hypocritically utter words of grandeur for the greater good of the human race. From the information he had gathered, the City Lord of Qinglian Spirit City was a pragmatic person, likely detesting insincere flattery.
Since there was a problem with the Tai Xuan Divine City Guards who were to perform the test, he chose not to wait here. Traveling straight to the Spirit City would perfectly avoid any potential crises and would not arouse suspicion.
At this moment, the Body Fusion cultivator clad in black armor, adorned with blue lotus patterns, spoke in a voice as resonant as a bell, “To enter the Tai Xuan Divine City, ordinary Divinity Transformation ascenders won’t suffice. Strike at me with all your might, let me test your strength.”
“Aiya, Elder Peng, how can you be so crude towards such a delicate beauty like Eastern Daoist Friend? Do you not understand the concept of cherishing the fairer sex?” The pale-faced man in Daoist robes said sarcastically while casting a friendly smile towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi internally cursed, damn it, he had encountered a dead queer. With no hesitation, he summoned his chilling Flying Sword and with the sword splitting into myriad paths, he slashed at the armored Elder.
