The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 715: Chapter 357 Rescue Xu Yu Rou_2
 

He hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, “Senior, I have ascended for several hundred years…”

“Several hundred years, a Huashen Cultivator, how could you survive for so long amongst the Demon race, without turning into a demon, and even not having a trace of demonic Qi on you?” Tian Ba’s gaze grew sharp, speaking with authority.

The other guards on the city wall couldn’t help but show a look of surprise on their faces, as it was impossible to absorb nature’s spiritual energy within the Demon Clan region, only relying on Spirit Stones and Pills.

An Ascender, even if they brought the entire Sect’s supply of Spirit Stones and Pills from the Lower Realm, would not be able to last several hundred years in the Demon Clan territory, and during that time, in addition to constantly activating their Spiritual Power Shield, one would also face the Demon race’s relentless pursuit.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

What was even more outrageous was that there was not the slightest trace of demonic Qi on these two individuals, completely defying common sense.

Jin Heng clasped his fists and bowed, explaining, “Senior, I was affected by spatial turbulence and entered the Demon Tribe’s territory. Then, several decades ago, upon learning that a fellow Sect sister of mine was within the Demon race, I came to this side…”

“Sadly, I did not find my sister, but fortunately, I was able to save Liu Yuehua Daoist. Later, we were pursued by both the Demon Tribe and Demon race, and at the brink of exhaustion, we were rescued by a senior. That senior came to rescue us at the behest of Dongfang Bubai, who is from the same Cultivation World as me. In the Demon Tribe, I also encountered a disciple from her Sect, Chen Huanyu.”

Upon hearing the name Dongfang Bubai, the guards on the city wall showed a look of astonishment. They would not have known this name before, but following a major battle outside of Sword Edge Spirit City, this name spread throughout the entire Human race.

This Dongfang Bubai, along with the suspected Immortal Realm’s Golden Serpent, fought fiercely, tumultuously, and successfully saved several Ascenders, including one disciple from her Sect.

From this information, it did indeed make sense. That disciple must have informed Dongfang Bubai about the presence of a fellow Cultivation World Cultivator in the Demon race territory and likely pleaded desperately, prompting Dongfang Bubai to entrust another Cultivator to come and rescue them.

“Where is the Cultivator who rescued you?” Tian Ba asked again.

“The one who just entered the city, he still has to rescue my Sect sister,” said Jin Heng without any concealment.

Tian Ba nodded, “Go ahead and enter the city for now. Someone will verify the veracity of your words later.” With that, he activated the Formation, allowing both of them to enter for inspection.

After Jin Heng and Liu Yuehua went through the Tai Xuan Mirror inspection, they saw the city gates and the bustling crowd, with their eyes gradually moistening and their faces full of emotion.

Having spent several hundred years amidst the peril of the Demon and Demon Tribe, they were finally seeing the familiar bustling scene once again.

Soon, two Huashen guards led Jin Heng and the others to the Tai Xuan Dao Palace’s office in Spirit City. After a series of questions and verifying the authenticity of their words through the Tai Xuan Mirror with Dongfang Bubai, they made Identity Jades for them and sent them to Sword Edge Spirit City.

Because Dongfang Bubai wanted to personally take them to Tai Xuan Dao Palace to face trials.

As for Lin Yi, not many paid him any attention, as entrusting a Cultivator to rescue disciples who accidentally fell into the Demon Tribe or Demon Clan territory was something many Ascenders with great capabilities would do.

Human Ascenders were all affected by the chaos of spatial turbulence, leading to accidental falls in other places. They still had a chance of being successfully rescued, but it was different for Spiritual Pets, which were sent directly to the Demon Tribe Ascension Platform and instantly controlled, under strict surveillance, making rescue no easy task.

Similarly, a reason for the lack of concern about Lin Yi was the effect of his Path of Survivor title, combined with his ordinary appearance. Many glanced at him once and forgot him soon after.

After Lin Yi entered Spirit City, he did not linger and went directly to the Main City of Demon Purging through the Transmission Hall. This was the first time his main Primordial Spirit had come to the main city of the Demon Clan region.

This Main City was even broader than the Main Demon-Slaying City, the realms of Cultivators within the city were higher than those in Main Demon-Slaying City, and the number of patrolling guards was noticeably higher.

After arriving at the center of the city, Lin Yi’s attention was drawn to a monument standing there. In most Spirit Cities, the center area is where the City Lord Mansion is located, but at the heart of this Main City of Demon Purging, there was a record of cultivators who had bravely sacrificed their lives in the war against the Demon race.

Whether it was cultivators who had reached Tribulation Fusion, Refining Void Divinity Transformation, or even the Nascent Soul Golden Core Realm, all had their names inscribed on it. The monument was densely covered with names, showing the brutality of the war with the Demon race.

On the monument of this main city, there were also records of the sacrificed from the other two affiliated Spirit Cities. Three tall monuments stood, with names continuously flashing and scrolling on them.

Surrounding the monument, there were flowers laid out and some people had placed pills and Spirit Stones on it as a tribute to these heroic men of the human race who had fallen.

Observe Lin Yi stood respectfully in front of the monument for a while, and then he found an inn to stay in, first using the Minor Blessing State to confirm the condition and location of Xu Yu Rou.

The answer he got was that she was still alive, which let him breathe a sigh of relief. Jin Heng was his master, and Xu Yu Rou was his first Direct Disciple—if he were to save one and consequently the other was to meet with misfortune, it would be a lifelong regret for him.

According to the location predicted by the Minor Blessing State, Xu Yu Rou was not in the direction straight ahead from the Main City of Demon Purging, which also slightly relieved him.

Because the area straight ahead from the main city was where the Demon race roamed in the greatest numbers, and in terms of both realm and ferocity, they surpassed those in other regions.

Based on his speculation, Xu Yu Rou alone wouldn’t have been able to hold out for so long; there must also be other ascenders from the Cultivation World with her.

Once the location was determined, Lin Yi headed toward the city gate without buying anything, for within the Storage Ring of the Hua Tuo clone, there were many items. After all, this was a Primordial Spirit that he had differentiated from himself and Xu Yu Rou was also a disciple of these clones.

Rescuing his own disciple, naturally, he had to go all out.

The city gate of the main city was even taller and seemed impregnable. Lin Yi could sense many precious materials within the city walls, which had been refined into a Spiritual Artifact, seamlessly integrated with the surrounding mountains.

He couldn’t help but admire the efforts of these ancestors of the human race to resist the Demon race.

At this moment, the number of cultivators entering and leaving this main city was higher than that in Demon Slaying Spirit City. This was because in the Demon Clan Territory, some special Precious Spiritual Grass grew, but these Demon race members had only ferocity and the intent to kill within their bodies; they didn’t bother with utilizing these spiritual grasses.

The Demon race was born from the Dark Abyss and had no need to increase their cultivation levels. Death was merely death; the Dark Abyss would continue to spawn more of the Demon race.

Now, Lin Yi, with a Clone in the Refining Void Realm, had no desire to explore the secrets of the Dark Abyss. Perhaps when reaching Fusion or Crossing Tribulation, he would consider such plans.

Ensuring his own safety was of paramount importance. If his realm was too low and he got sucked into the Dark Abyss, he feared he wouldn’t be able to escape.

After smoothly leaving the city, Lin Yi headed in the upper right direction, which was exactly where the Little Luck had indicated. He guessed that Xu Yu Rou would not have ended up in a human Spirit City that had been captured by the Demon race.

This human Spirit City was situated between the Main City of Demon Purging and the Demon Slaying Spirit City, said to have gradually fallen into ruin after its capture by the Demon race, which did not take control of the city.

Considering the location of the Spirit City, closer to the Main City of Demon Purging, it might be possible that Xu Yu Rou was indeed there.

The Demon race were all about bloodlust, with no intention of destroying things, so there were still many valuable things left behind during the retreat that hadn’t been taken away in time. Many cultivators, treasure hunters, ventured into this Spirit City as well.

However, on the map of the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, this city was marked with words indicating extreme danger, signifying the terrifying presence of Demon race marauders.
