The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 709: Chapter 354 Heading to the Demon Race_2
 

The connection lines between those three avatars and the original body revealed everything; based on his analysis, they were not lines of causality, but connections between Primordial Spirits.

Therefore, he had to first determine which Spirit City to enter the Demon Clan from, as a way to narrow down the search area.

After entering the Minor Blessing State, Lin Yi took out a piece of paper and wrote down the names of three Spirit Cities bordering the Demon Tribe, and after some thought, he added Sword Edge Spirit City to the list.

This Spirit City, bordering the Demon Tribe, was also not too far from the Demon Clan.

Next, he took out a bamboo stick and drew an arrow on it, then, thinking of the Spirit City closest to Xu Yu Rou and Master Golden Sword in his heart, he threw the bamboo stick out.

However, the stick landed outside of the paper, and at the same time, there was no significant depletion of Virtue Points, which meant that the effects of the Minor Blessing State had no response to his question.

Lin Yi’s face showed contemplation; there were only two possibilities for the current situation. One was that the level of the Minor Blessing State was too low to yield an answer to his question.

The other possibility was that there was a conflict in the question he had in mind, possibly because Xu Yu Rou and Master Golden Sword were too far apart, causing a conflict in the question itself, rendering it unanswerable.

Since what he had in mind were not the living Xu Yu Rou and Master Golden Sword, even their corpses would be included in the outcome.

Based on the information previously asked of Chen Huanyu, Master Golden Sword had only learned of the news and headed to the Demon Clan a few decades ago.

Chen Huanyu had originally intended to follow, but Master Golden Sword refused, telling her to find a way back to the Human race, that would be the only way to help them.

The ascender who had escaped from the Demon Clan to the Demon Tribe only mentioned having encountered Xu Yu Rou, but before he could state the exact location, he succumbed, his Primordial Spirit invaded by Demonic Qi, leading to his death and dissolution in the path.

This was also the reason why he used the Minor Blessing State to first determine the nearest location to the two.

If Xu Yu Rou was in the region of the Main City of Demon Purging or another Border Spirit City, the several decades of time would indeed make it impossible to find her, and according to the information provided by Chen Huanyu, the Demon Tribe had even claimed to have wounded Master Golden Sword in the border areas.

With this in mind, Lin Yi changed his approach and thought of the Spirit City closest to Xu Yu Rou, then threw the bamboo stick again.

Indeed, this time the stick landed on the position of the Spirit City of Demon Purging, causing his heart to sink.

The Spirit City of Demon Purging was where the Demon Clan’s attack was the strongest. The Demons present in this region were even more vicious, and their cultivation realms were far higher than those in other areas. The pressure to defend this city was even greater than that on the Main Demon-Slaying City.

After some thought, Lin Yi changed his wording internally, thinking of the Spirit City closest to the living Xu Yu Rou, and threw the bamboo stick once more.

If Xu Yu Rou had already perished, then the stick would land outside the paper; if she was still alive, it would land on the Main City of Demon Purging once again.

After spinning in the air, the bamboo stick landed on the Main City of Demon Purging under a strange force, relieving Lin Yi’s worries.

Thus, Master Golden Sword should be in the Spirit City of the Demon Clan region that bordered on Sword Edge Spirit City.

To ensure success, Lin Yi still threw the bamboo stick, this time contemplating the living Master Golden Sword to save Virtue Points. However, it landed on Sword Edge Spirit City, casting a grave look on his face.

It was possible that Master Golden Sword had suffered serious injuries and was unable to move in the Demon Clan area.

Nevertheless, the fact that Master Golden Sword was still alive was a good thing.

After some thought, Lin Yi decided to first attempt to rescue Master Golden Sword. Remaining closest to Sword Edge Spirit City for decades indicated that Master Golden Sword had encountered some obstacles, perhaps due to personal reasons or possibly due to pursuit by the Demon Clan.

The reason for rescuing Xu Yu Rou and Master Golden Sword, which he had long since thought through, was to fulfill a duty entrusted by Invincible East.

Invincible East, after meeting with Chen Huanyu, received a request to go and rescue Master Golden Sword and Xu Yu Rou. After communicating with his Overlord Clone, he used this reason to carry out the rescue.

Once the plan was settled, Lin Yi left the Cave Mansion and went to the rental service to return the Jade Badge, as instructed by the Hua Tuo clone. He had only rented it for a few days, and there would be a multiple charge for overdue returns.

This filled him with helplessness; not only was the Hua Tuo clone’s penchant for survival to the extreme, but also his meticulousness in budgeting was admirable.

On the other hand, earning Spirit Stones is not easy, so it’s still necessary to save when you can.

The Invincible East clone was able to teach disciples in the Tai Xuan Dao Palace and earn merits, barely needing to spend Spirit Stones for cultivation.

While the Overlord Clone, with its domineering presence, slew members of the Demon race and also hardly needed Spirit Stones. Only this Hua Tuo clone needed Spirit Stones for every action within a certain city.

After returning the Cave Mansion, Lin Yi rode the Flying Sword to the Transmission Hall. The sword he used was one refined specially for the clone by Hua Tuo himself.

It appeared inconspicuous but was made from precious materials.

Traveling by sword, he attracted almost no attention, which was somewhat unaccustomed for him.

Upon reaching the Transmission Hall, Lin Yi used Spirit Stones to teleport to Sword Edge Spirit City. He hadn’t expected to return to Sword Edge Spirit City just a few days later, but his identity had changed.

Previously, he was seen in this city as the Golden Serpent, attracting countless attentions. But now, he came as Hua Tuo’s clone, passing through the city gate without drawing any attention at all.

Now, Invincible East was also in Sword Edge Spirit City, in closed-door cultivation. The clone had indeed expended a great amount of Spiritual Power in the previous fight with him.

Lin Yi did not meet with Invincible East but after communicating, he activated a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Meanwhile, Invincible East was resting in the courtyard with Chen Huanyu. Upon receiving the Sound Transmission Talisman, he revealed a slight smile, “Yu Huan, the person I sought has arrived in Sword Edge Spirit City. I will be departing from here to the Demon Clan region today. From now on, it’s a matter of luck.”

“Thank you, Sect Hierarch,” Chen Huanyu said deeply, bowing with a fist. Naturally, she knew how difficult it was to find two people within the vast Demon race territory. However, she had to ask for the Sect Hierarch’s help, or else her conscience would not be at ease.

After all, she once belonged to the Liu Yun Sect; Jin Heng was her senior fellow disciple, and Xu Yu Rou was Lin Yi’s direct disciple. She could not ignore this fact, and her own strength was too weak to venture into the Demon realm. After much consideration, she could only ask the Sect Hierarch.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“No need for formalities. Follow me back to the Tai Xuan Dao Palace and cultivate well. After this person returns, he will contact me,” Invincible East said with a gentle nod.

After sending the Sound Transmission Talisman, Lin Yi headed toward the city gate of Sword Edge Spirit City. Due to the previous fight with Invincible East here, which had scared off the attacking Demon Tribe, they had not continued their siege.

At the city gate, he took out his Identity Jade to register, and the guards kindly reminded him that the place had just experienced a major Refining Void battle. Some members of the Demon Tribe might come to inspect the battlefield, so he was advised not to venture too deep into the Demon Tribe territory.

After expressing his gratitude, Lin Yi left the Spirit City. Many Cultivators left with him, most of them above the Deification Realm, probably in search of treasures.

Once outside the city, he activated the Minor Blessing State to check the direction and confirm if Master Golden Sword was within the Demon Tribe or the Demon race territory. The answer pointed to the Demon Clan region.

By now, he had maximized the effects of his Path of Survivor title while also practicing the Concealing Breath Technique, as he flew on his sword along the mountain edges near the Human race side.

Without his Jiao Dragon identity, as a member of the Human race, he could not fly with his sword unbridled within Demon Tribe territory.

The Presence and enmity reduction of the Path of Survivor title were both down to 65%, and since the Golden Human Infant had no attributes, this further reduced others’ awareness of him.

Therefore, even he could not sense the position of this Hua Tuo clone, much less his own Primordial Spirit. It was safe to say that no one, not even an Integration Demon Clan stumbling upon him unintentionally, could detect his trace.

Lin Yi’s plan was to fly by sword near the Human race side to the edge of the Demon Clan region, then further confirm Master Golden Sword’s location upon entering, and move in that direction.
