The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Lin Yi sealed the jar and put it into the Storage Bag, then spoke to Zhang Dao Xuan, “Master, once I’ve retrieved the goods from his sect, I’ll begin the next phase of learning. In addition to formations, I still require your guidance in Spirit Level Alchemy.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dao Xuan shook his head and chuckled. Yet, he said with satisfaction, “You really can’t tolerate a moment of idleness, can you? This is good as well, many cultivators have stagnated at a certain realm due to complacency.”

“Taking you as my disciple is my fortune. I look forward to the day when you have mastered the entire heritage.”

“Master, just wait for me to take you to the Upper Realm.” Lin Yi said with a smile. Although the lifespan in the Cultivation World is finite, even with the aid of the Title System, he didn’t want to enjoy the status quo prematurely.

Moreover, he currently faced the threat of the Creation Assassin. Even if he reached the Upper Realm or the Immortal Realm, this threat would likely still persist. Therefore, he needed to diligently improve his cultivation level.

“Alright, I’ll wait.” Zhang Dao Xuan said with a chuckle and a nod. His disciple wasn’t like some overly sharp geniuses, nor was he like those timid individuals who only prioritized their own lives, afraid of reaping what they’ve sown.

Instead, he would act decisively when necessary and cautious when prudent.

“Master, I’ll get ready. When it’s time to leave, I’ll come to you to open the teleportation passage.” Lin Yi bowed slightly before leaving the Cave Mansion.

The short, old man’s sect was known as the Paper Shadow Sect, which was quite fitting considering their cultivation techniques and special skills such as the Divine Shadow Dharma and Paper Man Avatars.

But their sect’s location was in an unexpected place: within a secluded mountain range of the Sky Sword Sect territory.

Although the Ten Major Sects theoretically governed vast territories, there were also several smaller sects residing within their borders.

However, it was basically not permitted for heretic sects to exist within the territories of Righteous Sects.

Especially for the Sky Sword Sect, which is defined by its ardor for war and swordsmanship, its disciples were almost all zealous crime-haters – regardless of whether it was genuine or not, they at least acted the part.

In the Sky Sword Sect’s territory, there are virtually no villains. Even in the ordinary cities under their management, stationed Immortal Masters showed no mercy to evildoers.

So much so that due to such strict regulation, a great number of regular civilians and even some smaller sects left the area.

Of course, the Sky Sword Sect’s territory was undoubtedly the safest place.

Yet, it’s daring for the seemingly insignificant Paper Shadow Sect to set up its base within the Sky Sword Sect’s territory – a real case of hiding in plain sight.

Basing on the dwarf old man’s modus operandi and his disciple’s actions, it’s clear that their sect isn’t righteous. Otherwise, they wouldn’t produce such a sadistic disciple.

Perhaps it was because it’s located too far from the Sky Sword Sect’s main grounds and in such a remote area that it hadn’t been obliterated by them yet.

But the dwarf old man has been dead for many years, so it’s entirely possible that the old sect base has been discovered by the Sky Sword Sect.

The entire sect has been turned into a kind of half-dead state, which indicates just how wicked it is. This kind of sect could never produce a Golden Core Real Person, let alone reach Foundation Establishment.

Hence, this is just a minor operation in Lin Yi’s opinion, and it shouldn’t pose any danger.

Of course, despite expecting this, he wouldn’t plan like it. Instead, he would remain cautious.

The only guarantee that there wouldn’t be any danger was his Title System’s Predict Crisis function.

Lin Yi decided to implement it now to see if his plan to clear out the Paper Shadow Sect in the Sky Sword Sect territory would go smoothly.

He mentally planned to go to the Paper Shadow Sect and clicked on the character for Predict Crisis.

But after activating it, he didn’t feel anything, not even a slight ache.

From this, it seemed that this operation would be straightforward and pose no danger whatsoever.

Even if a Golden Core Real Person from the Sky Sword Sect discovered him, he wouldn’t be in danger with his current abilities.

The warning he got in the Red Lotus Fire State wouldn’t have been significant if the Red Lotus fire hadn’t been there. If he was only facing Master of Bi Hai, his body wouldn’t have reacted intensely.

His current strength was comparable to the early-stage Nascent Soul, so a Golden Core Real Person was nothing to him.

After making some preparations, Lin Yi took on his second impersonation – a nondescript pedestrian.

This identity was far from Tian Ba’s imposing demeanour. Instead, it was so average that it wouldn’t draw attention even amongst a crowd.

This type of character was a perfect match for the Path of Survivor title.

In a situation where he could be discovered by a Golden Core Real Person from the Sky Sword Sect, he certainly wouldn’t use the Overlord Form.

This form only appeared in Secret Realms, witnessed by disciples whom various sects plan to turn against. Although these disciples would strictly keep the secret, who can ensure there won’t be any mishaps?

“Ah Yi, why have you suddenly disguised yourself? It’s a bit too plain.” The Golden Ape couldn’t help but comment upon seeing him.

“That’s exactly the effect that I’m going for. Little Ape, stay and play with Zhi Ling and Fire Feather. I’ll cook some meat for you guys when I get back.” Lin Yi convincingly smirked.

Then, he activated the Teleportation Mantra, arriving at Dan God’s Cave Mansion.
