Survivor Title 2

Next, Lin Yi turned his attention to the effect behind Realm Concealment. It was the new effect obtained after the title upgrade, which he thought was the most useful – displayed in simple words: “[Virtual identity] +1”.

He gazed at the virtual identity, seeing a more detailed explanation, “The host can construct a virtual character. Once constructed, it cannot be changed. Activating the virtual identity will change the overall appearance to that of the virtual character. The character is restricted to being male.”

Another secret of the Path of Survival is to hide one’s true face from others. In this way, even if one incurs some karma, it won’t affect one’s true identity.

He had previously searched for related information in Oing Yun City and Tian Yun City, about face-changing techniques and human- skin masks. However, most of them could only change facial features and were incapable of altering the entire body’s appearance.

Now, the title of the Path of Survival solves this issue for him: constructing a virtual character – wasn’t this the same as creating a character in the game?

Despite the restriction to male characters, even if there were female characters available, he would not casually undergo a sex change.

This was different from cross-dressing, where only the clothing changes while the original body remained masculine, at most creating the illusion of a fierce maiden. This virtual identity probably allows even the body structure to be changed.

Lin Yi was contemplating what type of character to create; ordinary or extraordinary.

After some thought, he decided to construct a character that appeared intimidating, thus avoiding trouble and leaving a clear impression on others.

If he created an attractive character, he figured it would attract trouble everywhere he went.

A figure immediately popped up in his mind, then he activated the virtual identity function. A panel, identical to the character creation interface in games, appeared before his eyes.

On the panel, Lin Yi noticed an option that automatically generates a character based on the image in his mind. He clicked on this option, getting a prompt to concentrate and imagine the character model.

He focused his thoughts, recalling the desired character, and in an instant, the image in his mind was transformed into a virtual character. However, the hairstyle was automatically changed to long hair, a typical feature of the Cultivation world, which added an air of scholarly elegance to the fierce character.

On this character model, he made some additional changes, to adhere more to the characteristics of the Cultivation World, and finally, he used his thoughts to click and generate the virtual identity.

At this moment, a prompt appeared: “Are you sure about generating the character? No changes can be made after creation”.

Lin Yi carefully examined the character model one more time and, upon finding no issues, chose to create it. A flash of light passed, and the virtual identity was thus established.

Inside the Jin Qiao Peak Cave Mansion, he set up the defensive array and the aura concealment array, officially wore the [Elite Survivor] title, and then switched to the virtual identity.

Instantly, his body shape, including his clothes, underwent a transformation akin to an outfit change in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yi conjured a water mirror using a spell, had a look at himself, and tried uttering a phrase, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Whether it was his physique, face, voice, or aura, everything had completely transformed, turning him into another person whose every move was filled with dominance.

This character was modeled after a well-known character from a martial arts film, who was the epitome of an overpowering presence, someone not to be trifled with at first glance.

“From henceforth, your name shall be Tian Ba,” Lin Yi smiled as he said to his reflection in the mirror. He then planned to use this virtual identity to take the fall for the mishaps that would inevitably occur.

At this moment, Zhi Ling, standing by his side, watched Lin Yi’s transformation with a shocked expression, squawking in some panic.

Because her master’s familiar aura had changed, it made her feel rather uneasy.

Lin Yi promptly switched back to his real identity, instantly transforming back to his original cautious persona. It led him to marvel at the utility of the virtual identity, which could be switched at will without any cooldown.

Zhi Ling, standing nearby, looked at her master as he suddenly returned to his original form. Her small eyes rounded with surprise, filled with great bewilderment.

“Zhi Ling, stop thinking about it. You won’t be able to figure it out.” Lin Yi sighed, looking at Zhi Lings bewildered eyes, and patted its little head with a smile.

After he acquired the Title System, he had thought deeply about where it came from and what its principles were. Could it be from some advanced technological world, or created by a mighty figure who had reached the end of their cultivation journey out of boredom?

However, he soon gave up in frustration. Instead of pondering about the origin of the Title System, it was much better to figure out how to exploit it more effectively.

Next, Lin Yi set up his reserve title bar. He filled it entirely with titles that could increase his speed, including [The Road is at the Feet], [Meaningless Fight and Kill], and the title “Little Compassion Little Mercy”.

He deliberately left a slot open so that, in times of need, he could use [Burst Out] to enter a frenzied state, ridding off all related restrictions.

At this point, he suddenly remembered the linked title of [Newbie], called [No More Pretending, I’m Laying Out My Cards]. Now that the title associated with the Path of Survivor had been upgraded, would this one have changed as well?

So he checked it out and sure enough, the data for this title had also grown: Presence level +20%, extra damage +50%, and Realm Appearance +4.

The difference with the Survivor title was that Realm Appearance +4 did not require breaking through to take effect as it didn’t have brackets denoting such. The Title System seemed to adjust according to the actual situation and wasn’t rigidly uniform.

Apart from that, he also saw a shared illusionary identity with [Elite Survivor]. This made Lin Yi somewhat disappointed because he had hoped the Laying Out My Cards title would bring another new illusionary identity.

Lin Yi sat in the cave mansion, pondering his next move leading up to the opening of the Dan God Secret Realm. He decided to focus on cultivating the Sword Control Technique, and in his spare time, attempt to upgrade some newbie titles to the next stage.

The first ones were [Newbie] and [Little Farmer], and [Junior Dung Cleaner]. As for Inscriptions and Alchemy Novice titles, he would probably need to create or cultivate higher- grade pills to upgrade them successfully.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the Storage Symbol that Old Huang gave him. He took it out and checked, finding more than three thousand Spirit Stones inside.

He couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. It turned out that Old Huangs stinginess was just for show. A Qi Refinement Level Four cultivator possessing over three thousand Spirit Stones was a significant fortune.

A Spirit Farmer working the entire year to tend to his crops only yield a few dozen Spirit Stones. It would take decades to accumulate this many Spirit Stones by merely planting in a twenty-acre Lower Spirit Field.

Old Huang frequented the Fairys Pavilion, unlikely accumulating these through Spirit Field cultivation, perhaps he had other businesses such as inscription crafting.

Since his foundation was damaged and he couldn’t enhance his cultivation, he had more free time. It was improbable he was just farming.

Lin Yi also found some pieces of paper with notes about the Dan God Secret Realm and a simplistic map that Old Huang had gathered.

At the end, there was a reminder for him not to forget to grab a handful of soil from the grave and take it into the sky after his Foundation Establishment, as a way of fulfilling a long-cherished wish.

He sighed softly, took out the Spirit Stones and put them in his Storage Bag. He planned to use these Spirit Stones to buy a Flying Sword.

Lin Yi flew to Qing Yun City on his Flying Boat. Originally, he planned to buy using Tian Ba r s identity, but upon reconsideration, he decided to keep Tian

Ba r s identity a secret. This illusionary identity could not be used frivolously.

Besides, if something happened within the Dan God Secret Realm, he was planning to use this identity to take the fall. Using it now in Qing Yun City would obviously give him away.

Just buying a Flying Sword didn’t necessitate the use of another identity.

Lin Yi then went to the Wan Bao Tower and spent six thousand Spirit Stones. equivalent to sixty Medium Grade Spirit Stones, to buy a Lower- grade Flying Sword. This was the most ordinary Flying Sword. Its power, speed, and the bonding level with the master were all relatively poor.

A Medium Grade Flying Sword would cost at least ten thousand Spirit Stones. As for a High-Grade Flying Sword, they basically only appeared at auctions organized by commerce chambers.

He was only practicing Sword Control Technique right now, so a lower- grade sword was enough. Once he mastered it, he would consider buying or customizing a higher- grade Flying Sword..
