The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 570: Chapter 293: The Rosy Clouds of Sun Moon Divine Sect_1
After returning to his cave house at Yun Yi Peak, Lin Yi deactivated the protective array and emerged, moving into the Yun Yi Palace next door. He then sent a message summoning Xu Yu Rou and the others.

Very soon, a few Foundation Building disciples responsible for Yun Yi Lineage affairs arrived with Xu Yu Rou.

Sixty years had passed since he openly attained the Golden Core and established his own mountain peak. Among the first batch of eight official disciples, four of them had already broken through to become Foundation Building cultivators.

These five individuals were entrusted with important duties, assisting Xu Yu Rou in handling certain affairs.

“Greetings to the esteemed master.” Xu Yu Rou and a few disciples bowed with full respect.

Lin Yi nodded, briefly asked about recent important matters, and found out the Dan God Secret Realm was due to open within the next ten years.

He could not help but feeling emotional. Since helping Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng obtain the Supreme-grade Resurrection Pill, he had not paid attention to the opening of the Dan God Secret Realm.

In the Heng Yuan World, the Dan God Secret Realm would open every ten to twenty years; in the Xuan Tian Realm, it would open every thirty to forty years.

After he established Yun Yi Peak, the Secret Realm opened twice. However, the first time was shortly after Yun Yi Peak’s establishment. He was in the middle of his closed-door cultivation to break through the Nascent Soul Stage. Additionally, the disciples of the Sect were all at the initial stage of Qi Refining and could not participate.

The second time, most of the disciples had only reached the middle stage of Qi Refining and again could not participate.

This was out of concern for the disciples’ safety. Even bending the rules to allow a Qi Refining middle stage disciple into the Secret Realm would be pointless as they would not be able to survive there.

Now, during this third opening, Yun Yi Peak was equipped to participate. Among the first batch of disciples, four had become Foundation Building cultivators and the other four remained at the Large Completion of Qi Refining.

It wasn’t because the remaining four disciples couldn’t advance; they just didn’t want to do it now.

Despite being in closed-door cultivation for two to three decades breaking through to the Nascent Soul after founding Yun Yi Peak, in the following thirty years or so, he continued to instruct these disciples, enriching their understanding.

After all these years, the understanding of these disciples has improved to the point where they would have no trouble breaking through to Foundation Building.

However, a few years ago, these eight disciples discussed and decided to have the four disciples skilled in battle delay their cultivation advancement. In the Large Completion of Qi Refining realm, they planned to participate in the contention for the spots in the upcoming Dan God Secret Realm.

When Lin Yi heard about this, he advised them not to delay and to break through directly. Participating in the Dan God Secret Realm simply could not be compared to their precious longevity.

Yet the disciples insisted that since joining Yun Yi Peak, they had not contributed much. This was their only opportunity to make a contribution and begged him not to stop them.

After hearing what these disciples had to say, Lin Yi didn’t stop them. He told Zhou Yun Feng about it and had these disciples go to Golden Sword Peak to learn fighting skills.

His own way of fighting, mainly relying on laying low early on and overpowering opponents later, couldn’t be replicated by these disciples.

In the face of overwhelming power, all techniques were meaningless. A cultivator who held a higher realm had the upper hand in a battle, no matter how fancy the fighting skills of their opponent; the less powerful simply wouldn’t get the chance to use them.

It was like the previous crisis at the Liu Yun Sect. The Chilly Flame he released instantly broke through all of Lord Xuan Ming’s defenses. Without any time to escape, Lord Xuan Ming was seriously injured.

After asking about recent occurrences on Yun Yi Peak, Lin Yi asked the other Foundation Building cultivators to leave first, keeping only Xu Yu Rou behind, “Xiao Rou, these years you’ve been busy managing Yun Yi Peak affairs. You have worked hard.”

“Master, I have not found it hard. To be able to help you handle Yun Yi Peak’s matters is my honor,” Xu Yu Rou responded shaking her head.

If it hadn’t been for his help, she wouldn’t have been able to break through to the Foundation Building Realm and would have perished when her life limit of over a hundred years arrived.

Lin Yi smiled and then said seriously, “Well, there’s no need for such formalities between us. Now I have a task for you and I want you to complete it earnestly.”

“Please instruct me, Master,” Xu Yu Rou quickly responded, cupping her fist.

Lin Yi looked at Xu Yu Rou and slowly said, “Since you broke through the Foundation Building Realm, it has been more than fifty years and you have been busy with Yun Yi Lineage affairs the whole time, leaving no time for cultivation. Hence, I want you to devote yourself fully to cultivate in seclusion and advance to Foundation Building Late Stage as soon as possible.”

At present, Xu Yu Rou had only just reached the Foundation Building Fourth Layer, entering the middle stage. She still had five cultivation levels to go. The higher the level, the longer the cultivation time would be.

This lass only broke through to the Foundation Building Realm in her early 120’s, thus she had the chance to extend her lifespan up to 250 years. Now, over fifty years had passed, and she only had around seventy years left.

This was his first direct disciple and he didn’t intend for her journey to end with the Foundation Building. At the very least, she should reach the Golden Core Cultivation Level.

“Master, I am already content to have reached the Foundation Building in this life,” Xu Yu Rou laughed, cupping her fist. She felt that entering the Liu Yun Sect, one of the Ten Major Sects, and breaking through to become a Foundation Building cultivator, resulting in an additional two hundred years of life, was already very rewarding.

As for the higher Golden Core Realm, she no longer dared to ask for it. How many cultivators with Top-grade and Supreme-grade Spiritual Roots failed to ascend the Golden Core after reaching the Foundation Building Realm, let alone her who has Lower-grade Spiritual Roots.

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, “Contentment brings joy, and that is very normal. However, contentment does not mean that one should give up hopes of seeking even higher realms in cultivation. Your master, I too have Lower-grade Spiritual Roots and as cultivators, we seek to defy the heavens. Don’t admit defeat so easily.”
