The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 708: Chapter 354: Heading to the Demon Race
 

Before the swap, Lin Yi first used his ability to Predict Crisis and, seeing that all was calm, he began to call out to his Hua Tuo clone in his mind, “Fellow Daoist Hua Tuo, I’m ready. Are you available for the swap now?”

In reality, he didn’t need the consent of his clone to enter it and take over at any moment, while the three Nascent Soul clones would not be able to enter the main body on their own without his command; likewise, they could not swap with each other.

These three clone bodies were all transformed from his Creation Nascent Infant, so naturally, he held ultimate authority over them, entering a clone was the same as entering his own body.

If the distance was close enough, he could enter the clone directly without using anything, but now that the distance was quite far, he needed to rely on his Merciful Title and the Creation Method to accomplish the transfer of his Primordial Spirit.

Soon, the Hua Tuo clone responded, “I am currently in a rented Cave Mansion in the Spirit Demon-Slaying City, you may swap at any time.”

Lin Yi nodded, used the Eye of Emptiness, and saw the lines of cause and effect between him and the three clones. Among them was a golden line leading to the Main Demon-Slaying City and there were white and black lines as well, exactly the same colors as his previous Nascent Souls.

Rather than calling these cause and effect lines, it would be more accurate to describe them as lines connecting the Primordial Spirits.

He activated his Creation Method, controlling his Primordial Spirit to follow that golden line. In just an instant, he entered the body of the clone and slowly opened his eyes to see the inside of a Cave Mansion.

In his mind, he also received a divine intent from the Hua Tuo Primordial Spirit, “Greeting the main self.”

“Fellow Daoist Hua Tuo, thank you. You may now head to the main body,” Lin Yi said with a smile. Without his assistance, it would be impossible for the clone’s Nascent Soul to enter the main body.

He repeated the previous action, using the Eye of Emptiness, and saw the line connecting the Primordial Spirit to the main body. As the Hua Tuo Primordial Spirit was now inhabiting the same body, it also could see the golden line.

Meanwhile, the Creation Method of the main body was still operating, and he guided the Hua Tuo Primordial Spirit to touch the golden line. Instantly, the separated Primordial Spirit disappeared.

“Main self, I’ve arrived at the main body. I wish for your safe return. There are Spirit Stones I’ve earned over the years in the Storage Bag—use them sparingly,” the divine intent from the Hua Tuo Primordial Spirit soon reached him.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle at the frugal fellow, “Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will return to you double the Spirit Stones. In the meantime, please look after the main body.”

“The main self needs not be polite,” Hua Tuo Primordial Spirit responded briefly.

After instructing on a few matters, Lin Yi cut the connection. Although he was now inside the clone, he remained the main Primordial Spirit and held the highest control over the three separated Primordial Spirits; now, he could also sense the locations of the three clone Nascent Souls.

He sensed the Cultivation levels of this clone body for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the Cave Mansion. The place chosen by Hua Tuo was secluded enough for the density of Spiritual Energy suitable for Cultivation at the early to middle stages of Refining Void.

Although the clone did not learn the Merciful Title and could not take advantage of loopholes, the body of the clone, transformed from the Creation Nascent Infant and the fruits of the Immortal Way, possessed an affinity for Spiritual Energy that far surpassed that of a Supreme-grade Spiritual Root, and its Cultivation Speed was also extremely fast.

Of course, this speed of cultivation was still incomparable to the gains from exploiting loopholes, but it was indeed much faster than that of a Supreme-grade Spiritual Root.

He returned to the inside of the Cave Mansion to check the contents of the clone’s Storage Ring. Before separating, he had given a Storage Ring to each of the three clones, all containing various items.

Now, after more than a hundred years, the value of the items inside Hua Tuo’s Storage Ring had increased by more than tens of times— it seemed that his alchemy had indeed carved out a piece of heaven for him.

Afterward, Lin Yi took out the Identity Jade, which bore the name Hua Tuo, with no change in the name.

He then opened the Title panel to check his virtual identity; the Jiao Dragon identity had turned gray, while the identity of his main body lit up.

This indicated that he could return to his main body identity while as Hua Tuo’s clone, which would make it much more convenient to search for Xu Yu Rou and Master Golden Sword in the Demon Clan Territory.

Lin Yi also looked at other useful titles, such as the Virtue Points within the Merciful Title which also followed his main Primordial Spirit.

Based on the changes in Virtue Points over the past hundred years or so, he could determine that the virtue accumulated by the actions of the clones would not return to him but remained with the clones.

The Invincible East clone had obtained the Merciful Title and might have used Virtue Points to enter the Minor Blessing State. The other two clones had not received the corresponding titles, so they could not utilize the Virtue Points they had obtained.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now it seemed that Virtue followed the Primordial Spirit, not the body.

However, without the Compassionate Karmic Fruit title, the acquired Virtue Points would be significantly reduced—it was such a pity for those demons slain by the Overlord Clone.

After checking the titles, Lin Yi activated the Merciful Title and entered the Minor Blessing State. The Demon Clan region was vast compared to the Demon Tribe, and it was impractical to roam around aimlessly, like a headless fly, relying on luck.

As for the lines of karmic fruit under the Eye of Emptiness, they could only be seen within a certain range and required switching to the main body identity, as these clones created by the virtual identity and the Creation Nascent Infant did not carry the main body’s karma.
