The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles-Chapter 479 - 251: Comprehending the True Self_2
Chapter 479: Chapter 251: Comprehending the True Self_2
The five titles that Lin Yi currently wears are [Trend of Great Conservation], [Experienced Level Grinder], [Minor Kindness Minor Compassion], [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes], and [Emptiness is Form, Form is Emptiness].
When wearing these titles, he suddenly noticed the passive title [Face Difficulties Head On], and a thought arose in his mind.
The Eye of Emptiness can be combined with certain titles, such as Compassionate Karma, which enables him to see karmic threads, and Predict Crisis, which enables him to foresee tribulations including the mysteries of ascension.
The title [Face Difficulties Head On] provides him with blessings of luck when he attempts to undertake difficult tasks.
Perhaps, after combining them, the Eye of Emptiness can clearly see the difficulties encountered during the process of enlightenment, allowing him to delve deeper into the process of enlightenment.
So Lin Yi temporarily removed [Minor Kindness Minor Compassion]. He had just started to understand the process of enlightenment and did not need the Minor Blessing State.
Then he wore the passive title [Face Difficulties Head On], and immediately activated the Eye of Emptiness and looked inside his Dantian.
This was because the Golden Core inside was the result of his cultivation and contained his insights about cultivation and his own Tao, or path.
He saw his Golden Core, formed of eight colours, like a firework, appearing before him.
Looking at the various colours inside the Golden Core, Lin Yi didn’t see any difficulties in understanding his path. He smiled, but he didn’t mind.
The Eye of Emptiness can see both material objects and the illusory laws, but it cannot see his own understanding of Tao. These understandings were his own, so why should he need to rely on the Eye of Emptiness?
He stopped the Eye of Emptiness, looked at the Golden Core inside his body, and scenes from his cultivation from the time he’d crossed over to the present, including his insights gained during cultivation, emerged in his mind.
Scene by scene slowly floated up from his mind, but he was in no rush, smiling as he watched.
When he first came to the Cultivation World, he was full of uncertainty and even despair about his spiritual roots, because a lower-grade spiritual root is the lowest existence in the Cultivation World.
However, at that time, many thoughts rose in his heart, the only ones that did not were about giving up and being dispirited.
Even with a lower-grade spiritual root, he still worked hard at cultivation to gain a chance to become a higher realm cultivator.
In the scenes, there were images of him working hard at cultivation and also moments where he was drinking and chatting with Old Huang.
Watching these memories, Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile. Ever since entering the Inner Sect he was constantly cultivating, and rarely thought back to the past.
Later, he obtained the title panel. His cultivation entered a stage of rapid progress, and images of two blind dates flashed through his mind, including him using the [Emptiness is Form] title to go to the Flower Moon Place, using seduction for cultivation. ƒreewebɳovel.com
He couldn’t help but laugh. Due to the effect of the Emptiness is Form title, he gained a lot of insights. The Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind was also achieved during seduction.
However, after he entered the Inner Sect, he felt that this title was not as simple as he thought, and he hasn’t used it since.
Then, he farmed and entered the Inner Sect. His path of cultivation was officially on track. Old Huang passed away. He also entered periods of seclusion.
During this period, he encountered dangers, all of which were within his control.
In this way, Lin Yi reminisced until today, with the Golden Core Tenth Layer Great Perfection, he further consolidated his insights about his path, understanding of the Creation Method, and insights into the seven elements.
Since he crossed over to the Cultivation World, he has been cultivating for a hundred years. The average Golden Core Real Person has been cultivating for hundreds of years, and he can’t compare.
However, being able to cultivate to his current realm is not solely due to his titles. Even the most powerful title effects require his own understanding and realization.
His path isn’t a path of slaughter or an entirely conservative path, but a path of following his heart. When it’s time to strike, he will strike. When it’s time to be conservative, he will be conservative.
Of course, he wouldn’t deliberately slay innocent people or completely ignore someone on the brink of death. That’s his Dao Heart, unchangeable principles.
A smile slowly spread across Lin Yi’s face as he slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he felt that all the insights he had gathered seemed to have entered into that purple breath.
Once again, he immersed his mind into the Dantian, viewing the inside of the Golden Core with the Eye of Emptiness. He discovered that the purple breath seemed to have become a bit chaotic, filled with seemingly infinite vitality.
Furthermore, within the chaos, there were seven colors mixed in, symbolizing seven elemental properties. These represented the fruits of his own Golden Core and his own Dao.
It seemed, understanding his Dao had given this wisp of breath the foundation for nurturing life. Next, he needed to imbue this chaos with wisdom.
This also indicated that he had successfully overcome one of the difficulties in nurturing life. Next was the understanding of his true self, the formation of the nascent soul’s prototype.

However, Lin Yi did not rush to understand his true self. Instead, he closed the Eye of Emptiness and took a look at the array next to him that recorded time. Seeing the seclusion time recorded on it, a peculiar expression appeared on his face.
In his perception, even though every scene from his memories proceeded slowly, it had only been a few months at most.
However, the actual time that had passed was a full six years.
Indeed, time flies like the speed of light in cultivation. A moment in the mountain, a thousand years in the world.
Afterward, Lin Yi left the cave mansion and arrived where Pill Immortal Master resided. “Disciple pays respect to Master.”
Zhang Dao Xuan widened his eyes, “You’ve only spent six years, don’t tell me, lad, that you’ve already successfully nurtured the form of a nascent soul.”
This lad had a unique divine skill that hid his cultivation, making it impossible for him to see what’s inside. Not to mention, the scenario inside his Golden Core.
“Master, how is that possible? I’ve just completed the first stage, gaining some understanding of my Dao.” Lin Yi laughed.
“In six years, you have completely understood your Dao. Well, considering it’s you, it seems reasonable.” Zhang Dao Xuan helplessly shook his head.
Later, Lin Yi went to the Spirit Beast Dojo and had a barbecue feast with Zhi Ling’s Fire Feather. At the same time, he taught a few classes and enhanced the bloodlines of some spirit beast disciples.
It was his habit to relax a bit during cultivation.
Several days later, Lin Yi returned to his cave mansion for cultivation, starting to comprehend his true self. Compared to understanding his own Dao, comprehending his true self was significantly more challenging.
Many cultivators at the Golden Core Consummation stage were trapped at this difficulty.
Including the current Green Jade Zen Ren. Lin Yi had used the Eye of Emptiness to look into it over the years. Inside the Golden Core of the Cloud Sect Leader, there was already a wisp of breath turning into chaos. However, there was no formation of a nascent soul form yet, far behind Master Golden Sword’s progress.
Before comprehending, Lin Yi had also made some preparations, activating the Minor Blessing State to prevent himself from getting lost in the understanding of his true self. Due to some special reasons, the possibility of him getting lost was extremely high compared to other cultivators.
Even though he had been using the Minor Blessing State over the years, helping some spirit beasts enhance their bloodlines, the remaining Virtue Points still amounted to over a hundred thousand.
If no help is provided, the consumption of Virtue Points is extremely slow. Only a few thousand are used up in a year. These hundred thousand Virtue Points would, under normal circumstances, be enough to persist for several decades.
Even if it were all used up, he could still obtain more from the Xuan Tian Realm. There, in that part of the Cultivation World, his cultivation wouldn’t be exposed.
After the preparations were done, Lin Yi discarded all distractions, sank his mind, and began comprehending his true self. In the Cultivation World, including Taoism on Earth’s Huaxia, those who have achieved this are referred to as ‘True Men’. They seek to understand the true self and to retain truth while discarding falsehood in the process of Dao learning.
Yet, the concept of true self in the Golden Core is just superficial. When reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, one truly understands their true self. That’s why cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm are referred to as ‘True Lord’.
