The Path of Survivor Begins With Obtaining Titles

 

“I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace, Senior,” said White Painting without any hesitation as she knelt down. The fact that Senior Long Ao had risked a confrontation with the Fox Demon, a Great Demon of the Integration Stage, to rescue her, she couldn’t help but feel thankful.

Lin Yi waved his hand lightly, using Demon Energy to lift up her body, and then passed her a few bottles of Pills, “No need to be overly courteous. You are a descendant of my Dragon Clan who has managed a Transformation by virtue of your own abilities. How could I watch you be humiliated? First, recover your demon power.”

“Thank you, Senior.” White Painting gave a fist and palm salute, then sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to restore her demon power.

After ascending to the Demon Tribe, her Cultivation levels were quickly bound, and she had no further opportunities for Cultivation; the demon power inside of her had long since dried up.

Afterwards, Lin Yi looked at the other three Demonkind and went over to them, releasing all the internal constraints within them.

The three Demonkind gradually transformed into human form, giving Lin Yi a deep fist and palm salute, “Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives.”

Lin Yi nodded slightly, “Today, you and the descendants of my Dragon Clan have met and come together here to accept punishment. That too is a kind of fate. I merely did what came naturally.”

Then, he slowly turned and walked to the front of the Spirit Demon-Slaying City, giving a fist and palm salute, “Thank you to the Senior of the Human race for your kind invitation. However, since I have come to the Spirit Profound Realm to practice, I cannot stay confined to one place. I’ll head back to the Demon Tribe for further Cultivation.”

His identity as a Jiao Dragon had been set as one who had cultivated among the Human race. He couldn’t just abandon them abruptly; he needed to leave a cushion for a possible return to the Human race in the future.

The Human race’s Great Tribulation Expert didn’t get angry but smiled and said, “Good, I wish you smooth Cultivation in the Demon Tribe. The door of the Human race will always be open to you. I will issue the command that you may enter the Human race territory at will in the future.”

This Golden Serpent had stayed among the Human race for an unknown length of time, always concealing its identity, never doing anything harmful to the Human race, showing that this demon was completely different from the native demons of the Spirit Profound Realm.

“Thank you, Senior.” Lin Yi gave another fist and palm salute, then slowly walked to the Demon Tribe’s side, giving another salute, “Senior of the Demon Tribe, I will enter the Demon Tribe Territory on my own later. There’s no need for you to wait here for me.”

“Alright, I will leave a Golden Peng to guide you, and the rest of the Demon Tribe will withdraw from this place,” the Great Demon of the Golden Peng Clan and the Tribulation stage nodded and said resolutely to the other demons.

The arrival of the Golden Serpent had disrupted their plan to use the Spiritual Pets to show off their might, and since all the Spiritual Pets had been rescued, there was no point in staying here anymore.

However, it was a significant gain to have the Golden Serpent stay and Cultivate with the Demon Tribe. In the future, they might have the chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm and perhaps receive some care.

Hearing the words of the Tribulation Demon Patriarch, all the demons retreated into the forest, leaving only a transformed beast from the Golden Peng Clan. It gave Lin Yi a fist and palm salute, “Senior Dragon, I shall guide you later.”

Lin Yi nodded lightly. Today’s plan to reveal his identity had ended successfully. With the powerful identity of the Golden Serpent, if he sought knowledge from either the Great Demons of the Fusion Stage or those who had Crossed Tribulation in the future, he would likely receive earnest instruction.

As long as he could improve his Cultivation levels to the Body Fusion Realm and unite the three types of energy, he might become an invincible existence in the Spirit Profound Realm.

The three Spirit Beasts he had rescued looked at each other and then once more gave Lin Yi a fist and palm salute, “Senior, may we follow by your side and serve you?”

Two of the Spirit Beasts were Spiritual Pets of Ascenders, but their masters were now nowhere to be found. Although they were rescued and had gained their freedom, they were unsure how they would be treated by the Human race, so they preferred to stay with Senior Dragon instead.

But Big Bull was considering that if other Spiritual Beasts from the Dan God Secret Realm Dojo ascended in the future, staying with the Demon Tribe could provide some support.

Lin Yi glanced indifferently at the three demons, “You are too weak, and you are not descendants of my Dragon Clan. I rescued you merely because it was convenient at the moment. Are you now planning to impose on me?”

The transformed beast from the Golden Peng Clan couldn’t help but show a look of surprise. If it had been in his place, having just entered the Demon Tribe, he would have definitely gathered a few underlings to enhance his prestige. Yet Senior Long Ao seemed to have no interest in that, truly a distinguished demon from the Immortal Realm, exuding confidence in his own identity and strength from the core of his being.

Big Bull gave a deep fist and palm salute and said, “Senior, since you are new to the Demon Tribe, you will definitely need someone to run errands and handle miscellaneous tasks. Please allow us to serve you, and we promise not to cause trouble or damage your reputation.”

The other two demons also hurriedly echoed with a salute, “Right, we will not cause trouble. Senior, if you have any tasks, leave them to us.”

Lin Yi pondered for a moment before nodding. “Fine, seeing how sincere you all are, I’ll take you in temporarily.”

“Many thanks, senior.” The three Monster Beasts bowed with fists clasped, filled with gratitude.

The transformed Golden Peng Monster Beast beside them watched this scene, feeling envious inside. It, too, desired to follow this senior Golden Serpent.

Lin Yi turned his gaze toward White Painting and spoke slowly, “As for you, now that you’re free to come and go, would you like to follow me, or return to the human race?”

Without hesitation, White Painting clasped her fists in a bow, “I wish to follow the senior.”

Her master, Zhang Dao Xuan, was nowhere to be found. Even if she went to the human race, she wouldn’t know where to go. Moreover, this Golden Serpent had saved her life and protected her from disgrace. How could she not repay such a great kindness? To leave now would be too ungrateful.

“Very well, rest briefly, and then we will leave,” Lin Yi nodded. With the Dan Immortal not around, he wasn’t at ease letting White Painting go to the humans.

As White Painting gradually regained some of her demon energy, she stood up. “Senior, I’ve finished adjusting my breath.”

“Good, then let us go.” Lin Yi then released his own Spiritual Flying Swords. They glimmered with golden light, and it seemed like there was a dragon’s aura swirling within them, looking quite extraordinary. This was a modification he had made based on the foundation of the Wind Thunder Sword, in accordance to his identity as a Jiao Dragon.

At this moment, the transformed Golden Peng hurriedly clasped its fists and said, “Senior, you can ride on my back. That way, I can also show you the splendor of the Demon Tribe’s territory.”

If it were any other Demon Tribe member, even those more powerful than itself, it wouldn’t have wanted to act as a mount. However, it was an honor to have the senior Golden Serpent ride on its back.

Moreover, it felt satisfied today, as this senior had given a lesson to the Fox Clan, whom it considered unpleasant.

“No need. As a flying class Monster Beast, I know what it feels like to be ridden,” Lin Yi shook his head.

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, the transformed Golden Peng showed a touched expression. None of the Monster Beasts had ever asked it if it was willing to be ridden, even when its elders assigned it tasks. Yet this senior, the Jiao Dragon, had refused right away.

It insisted, “Senior, I am truly willing. Riding on my back would also allow me to guide you better.”

Lin Yi didn’t refuse again, “Very well, then I’ll trouble you.”

“It’s no trouble at all,” the transformed Golden Peng reassured, and then it changed back to its true form—a massive Golden Peng materialized, a veritable giant.

“Senior and fellow daoists, please board,” it said to Lin Yi and the others after transforming back.

Lin Yi was the first to step onto the back of the Golden Peng, channeling demon energy to keep himself light, followed by White Painting and the other Monster Beasts, who also stepped aboard.

Feeling Lin Yi’s weight as light as a feather, the Golden Peng was once more touched. Once everyone was securely aboard, it took off slowly, heading for the skies.

With their departure, the front of Spirit Demon-Slaying City returned to a rare peace, leaving behind only a battlefield in disarray.

The cultivators on the city walls each departed with sentiments, having witnessed an incredible event today. They had not anticipated that within their human race hid an extraordinary Golden Jiao Dragon.

The Great Tribulation Experts of the Spirit Demon-Slaying City silently returned to their Cave Mansions to continue their cultivation. Meanwhile, the Fusion Realm cultivators, once back at the City Lord Mansion, issued orders to verify all cultivators in the city, identifying those with records of entry but no exit records, yet not present within the city, and also to search for any traces of the Golden Serpent within Spirit City.

In the end, however, the results disappointed them; they found not a single clue. Considering the Golden Serpent’s capability to enter and exit the grand formation at will, they came to terms with it, sure that he had not entered Spirit City through normal means.
