The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

“Due to the restrictions laid out by the Ten Major Sects, those who participate in the battle for dominance will not be allowed to enter the Secret Realm. Therefore, Wei Ling Yun will not be included on the competition list…”

Upon hearing these words, Lin Yi couldn’t help but smirk. It was a cunning move to exclude the top combat powers of the leading sects. This would greatly increase the chances for disciples from other sects within the Secret Realm.

A candidate like Wei Ling Yun who is a direct disciple of Gold Sword Zen Ren and ranks first in points, has a strong combat power. If he were to enter the Secret Realm, it is likely that even two disciples at the Large Completion of Qi Refining from other sects would not be his match.

Gold Sword Zen Ren turned to the crowd and said slowly, “The entire Secret Realm of the Dan God will be opened this time. The competition within the realm will be extremely fierce. As such, those below the Qi Refining Eighth Stage are ineligible to participate. The allocation of the five spots will be as follows: two combat disciples, one Alchemy disciple, and two Farming disciples. ”

Lin Yi felt somewhat relieved, thanking his lucky stars that the additional layer of Realm Concealment granted by [Elite Survivor] would only take effect after the next breakthrough. Otherwise, if he were to switch to the Qi Refining Seventh Stage, he would be in a tricky situation.

The allocation of the five spots was roughly in line with his own guess. After all, the primary focus is on the Cave Mansion.

Many disciples nearby were visibly delighted. After all, they had been practicing their Farming Practice for years, and now there were two spots available for them, which significantly increased their chances.

“The Combat Disciples will be selected via in-house fighting contests, the

Alchemy Disciple will be tested on their alchemy ability, and the Farming Disciples will be tested on their Farming Practice and ability to nurture Spirit Grass,” Gold Sword Zen Ren explained.

“Starting today, you may voluntarily register at the Affair Hall of Golden Sword Peak. You may choose one of the three options, and you cannot register repeatedly. The trials will start in a month,” Gold Sword Zen Ren explained the methods of securing a spot, and then sternly cautioned, “Finally, let me give one word of advice. The journey to the Secret Realm of Dan God will be perilously dangerous. Disciples of the Golden Sword Lineage must approach it with appropriate caution.” With a flash of golden light, he disappeared into the sky.

At that point, Zhou Yun Feng, levitating in the air on his Flying Sword, chuckled and said, ‘As the master said, you have all probably heard by now. Moreover, you should all know that you will be randomly assigned locations upon entering the Secret Realm.”

“One might end up in dangerous territories, or be surrounded by deadly enemies of the Liu Yun Sect. Hence, those who lack sufficient combat and self-protection capabilities should consider this carefully before registering,” Zhou Yun Feng finished as he descended. After his words fell, a surge of people flooded the Affair Hall to register, clogging it up entirely. In the end, a registration point had to be set up on the plaza.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, did not rush to register. After all, there was a whole month to do that. The Secret Realm of Dan God could be extremely dangerous for others, but for him, who had already attained the Foundation Establishment Stage, it posed little risk.

The main reason he was confident that he could survive was due to the bonus effect of the title [Burst Out] of the [Survival With Patience Leads to Big

Plans]: when in an enraged state, it can ignore any limiting effects within one Great Realm above his current realm.

When his cultivation was at the Qi Refinement, he could ignore the restrictions of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Now that he had reached the Foundation Establishment level, he could ignore the restrictions of the Golden Core Stage. It’s rumored that beside being unmatched in Alchemy Dao, Dan God Zhang Dao Xuan was unparalleled in his Formation skills as well.

As a Test Secret Realm, only those in the Qi Refining stage can enter, so the formations inside probably won’t exceed the Foundation Building Realm, and most likely will not reach the Golden Core Stage.

Even if he gets trapped in a formation, as long as the power of the formation doesn’t exceed the Golden Core Stage, he can use his rage state to forcefully break free of the control.

Standing in a corner of the plaza, Lin Yi noticed that the Affair Hall had set up three registration points on the plaza, corresponding to the three different abilities. Of those, the majority were registering as Farming Disciples, with the fewest registering as Alchemy Disciples.

After all, what the Golden Sword Lineage lacks the least is Combat Disciples. Although Wei Ling Yun was excluded, many disciples felt they wouldn’t be able to defeat the strongest senior brothers and sisters.

However, the test for Farming Abilities is not the same. After years of hard cultivation, one definitely has a chance to succeed.

As for Alchemy, it’s not an easy skill to learn. You could have some success with a few years of learning Farming practices, but not with Alchemy. You probably couldn’t even successfully refine a single pill.

Seeing more and more people queuing up, Lin Yi did not waste any more time on this. He left the Golden Sword Peak and returned to his Cave Mansion on Jin Qiao Peak.

Although the spiritual energy in his current Cave Mansion is not suitable for his cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage, there is still more than half a year until the opening of Dan God Secret Realm.

He still has to participate in the trials for the Farming Disciple spot and prepare for the same. Therefore, there is no time to focus on his cultivation. He would have to wait until he returns from the Dan God Secret Realm before he could think about moving to a new Cave Mansion.

Lin Yi opened the Title Panel, examining the effect of [Elite Survivor], “Hatred value -20%, Presence -20%, Cultivation speed +50%, Realm Concealment +4 (of which +1 concealment effect will kick in after breaking through to the next level) …”

The most important Hatred Value and Presence are increased by 5% with each level. To reach the state of having no Presence at all – 100% concealed, he estimates that he needs to rise to the final title in the Path of Survivor.

He has now thought of what this final title would be, and it is likely to be Immortal Survival. The homophonic translation of this title, “Dog Sheng”, is commonly used in rural areas as a child’s nickname, implying the child is easy to raise and unambitious..
