The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 656: 329 Speculation on the Creation Clone

Chapter 656: Chapter 329 Speculation on the Creation Clone
 

In the one hundred and tenth year following Great Perfection of the ninth level of Huashen, Lin Yi successfully created and evolved the Tenth Layer. By then, four hundred and thirty years had passed since his ascension to the Spirit Profound Realm, and his lifespan had reached more than nine hundred and seventy years.

At the instant of successful evolution and creation, a notification window appeared before his eyes, “Cultivation level +1.”

His mind fully immersed into the depths of the Dantian, where he sought to understand what transformations the Tenth Layer of Divinity Transformation could bring. This mattered enormously for his entire future cultivation plan.

Lin Yi’s first focus was on the Lower Field of Elixir, which is where the Nascent Soul of a normal cultivator resides. The Nascent Souls in the Upper Field of Elixir and Middle Dantian were both created from his own transformation.

The Lower Field of Elixir housed the Yin Nascent Soul which possessed attributes of the Dark Elements, now able to use the adverse powers of the Wood and Fire Attributes, with the Wood Element being the Power of Decay and the Fire Attribute as the Power of Darkness and Cold.

The powers used by the identity of Invincible East were precisely the strength of the Dark Elements from the Lower Field of Elixir.

He looked at the Yin Nascent Soul within the Lower Dantian and found that the Nascent Soul seemed to have grown significantly. Initially childlike, it had now taken on the appearance of a youth.

Suddenly, Lin Yi had a mysterious feeling that he seemed to be able to transform this Nascent Soul into his current identity.

He’d never had such a sensation before.

Lin Yi’s face showed a trace of shock as he hurriedly projected his mind into the Middle Dantian. He had the same feeling there; moreover, with the Yang Nascent Soul in the Upper Field of Elixir, he could alter its appearance to match his current identity.

Could this be the transformation granted by the Tenth Layer of Divinity Transformation? He found it hard to believe.

Cultivation, also known as the pursuit of authentic self, refines the True Self. The appearance of the Nascent Soul represents not only the outcome of cultivation but also the concept of the True Self.

Even though cultivators possess various Divine Skills that allow them to change appearance, the Nascent Soul within their bodies remains in the image of their True Self and does not undergo any alteration.

His Path of Survivor title grants the function of a virtual identity, wherein the transformation into a virtual identity would prevent other highly advanced cultivators from discovering it. However, the Nascent Soul inside him remains in his original form, unfazed by any change in identity.

Now, the transformation brought by the Tenth Layer of Divinity Transformation seemed to allow him to alter the appearance of his Nascent Soul, an utterly incredible notion.

However, considering that the virtual identity from the Path of Survivor title would remain undetected by others, what significance did changing the appearance of the Nascent Soul hold? What was the purpose of such a transformation?

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly thought of the transformation that occurred upon reaching the Tenth Level of the Golden Core and entering the Nascent Soul Realm. After evolving the Tenth Layer of the Golden Core, a Jin Dan reversal took place allowing normal elements to transform into Dark Elements.

Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, a greater transformation followed. Due to the Golden Core’s reversal into Dark Elements, he possessed the Yin and Yang Twin Primordial Spirits, while the Golden Core itself transformed into a golden, attribute-less Nascent Soul, harmonizing the power of the Yin-Yang Nascent Souls.

With this thought, he suddenly speculated something about the transformation within the Refining Void Realm, his expression revealing a hint of shock.

Based on the information he had seen in the Dao Palace, under normal circumstances, once cultivators reach the Refining Void Realm, they can etherealize their Primordial Spirit into multiple spiritual incarnations, multitasking and even mastering Divine Skills that create thousands of incarnations. These multiple incarnations can confront enemies simultaneously.

It’s like Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, who could split a single strand of hair into multiple incarnations.

And the Nascent Soul within would transform into a Yang God, capable of leaving the body to engage enemies as well.

Under a regular Refining Void Realm, the ability to change the appearance of a Nascent Soul wouldn’t lead to any significant changes.

Therefore, he surmised that the current transformation of his Nascent Soul’s appearance merely laid the groundwork for subsequent transformations within the Refining Void Realm. Normally, Refining Void involves the Primordial Spirit etherealizing into multiple spirits.

These spirits can even leave the main body for a while, and under specific conditions, they can cultivate on their own. However, they cannot become true incarnations, unless they seize another’s body.

Lin Yi felt that he would have the same ability to etherealize the Primordial Spirit in the normal Refining Void Realm. However, after etherealization, the Primordial Spirit could enter the Nascent Soul with a transformed appearance, turning it into a true incarnation capable of leaving the main body and cultivating independently.

Normally, the virtual identities within the Path of Survivor title are considered his incarnations, which perfectly connect with the Creation Method.

Without the virtual identity, he feared he would have to create an incarnation identical to his main body, which could easily be detected by others.

After analyzing, Lin Yi looked at the Nascent Soul, which bore his original appearance, and a smile spread across his face. As he thought, the Yin Nascent Soul gradually transformed into his current appearance as Invincible East.

He couldn’t wait until the breakthrough into the Refining Void Realm to change the appearance of his Nascent Soul into that of a virtual identity. It would be too late by then.

After evolving the Tenth Layer of Divinity Transformation, his Nascent Soul had also grown, evolving from a childlike form into that of a youth. Now, the appearance of Invincible East was not that of a youth, but one he had crafted himself. It was as if he was shaping a person, using his own Nascent Soul as the foundation.

At that moment, Lin Yi suddenly thought of an apt idiom: destiny makes playthings of us all. Indeed, practicing the Creation Method had brought forth a person.

Having transformed the Nascent Soul into the appearance of Invincible East, he directed his Primordial Spirit to the Upper Field of Elixir, looking upon the Yang Nascent Soul, which possessed the power of positive Elements. In his previous understanding, Invincible East’s identity wielded the abilities of the Yin Nascent Soul, while the powers of the Yang Nascent Soul belonged to the Overlord Identity.
