He had previously verified that the instant teleportation effect of the [Meaningless Fight and Kill] title would not penetrate formations, but it could immediately teleport him to the other side.
The next reason was similar to his breakthrough to the Golden Core stage. Even in the cave mansion formation, he could sense the powerful disturbance of spiritual energy in the outside world, much stronger than his Foundation Establishment breakthrough.
If he were outside, the emergence of a Golden Core or even Nascent Soul True Monarch wouldn’t be unusual. If he lacked a solid formation, he’d face imminent danger.
Zhang Dao Xuan wasn’t surprised at all. He laughed and looked at Lin Yi, “Do you want to learn everything? Formations are much harder than alchemy.”
“Master, as your disciple, I should strive to catch up with your footsteps. I’m not afraid, but I am worried that you won’t teach me.” Lin Yi bowed and spoke.
Learning formations from Pill Immortal Master increased his cultivation levels. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
Zhang Dao Xuan nodded, not rejecting him, “It’s good that you have such determination. After the Secret Realm opens, we’ll start learning formations.”
“For now, stabilize your Golden Core cultivation level. This cultivation cave mansion, assembled with Five Element Spiritual Energy, is tailored for you. You can optimize it to its fullest. I’m going to rest.”
Lin Yi bowed as he watched Zhang Dao Xuan leave. Then he slowly sat in the formation, excitement still bubbling in his heart as he gazed at the Golden Core within him.
He was glad that he stuck with practicing the Creation Skill even when he entered the Inner Sect rather than changing to another technique. Otherwise, he’d have to follow the standard cultivation routine instead of possessing his current power.
The strength of a Nascent Soul in its initial stage, combined with the extra damage from his title, means that it wouldn’t be him fleeing from the treacherous plans of a Golden Core Real Person but the latter.
Of course, he would still proceed with caution at this juncture. He wasn’t so naive as to believe that the Golden Core in its Initial Stage with capabilities of the Nascent Soul’s initial stage would allow him absolute domination over the Cultivation World yet.
Despite this, if he encountered a plot identical to the Xuan Yin Sect’s scheme, he would do what was necessary. Being careful didn’t mean being pusillanimous.
Upon achieving the Golden Core, Lin Yi remembered the two titles that had upgraded. He quickly opened his title panel, first examining the [Trend of Great Conservation] title under the Path of Survivor category.
He shook his head helplessly reading the name, “Compared to the ‘Little Survivors,’ it’s just a synonym.”
His gaze rested on [Trend of Great Conservation]. Seeing the title effect, he read, “Hatred Value -35%, Presence -35%, Cultivation Speed +100%, Realm Concealment +7, (where +1 concealment effect will take effect at the next level of cultivation), Virtual Identity +2.”
Seeing no new effects from the title, Lin Yi inferred that not all beginner titles enhanced at every stage.
It’s possible that few later titles had corresponding stages for every realm. It’s plausible that two realms corresponded to a single title.
He didn’t mind other effects, but the increase in Virtual Identity was most exciting. This meant that apart from the Overlord form, he would have an additional identity form.
He had considered the second identity, as the Overlord form was highly noticeable. Therefore, his second identity should be like Pedestrian A—a common face that easily slips unnoticed.
A face like that would perfectly complement the effects of the title under the Path of Survivor.
Next, Lin Yi eagerly proceeded to the second upgraded title. After receiving [Color is Void], he had mostly relied on this title for all his ability enhancements during the Outer Sect Spirit Farmer phase.
The Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind was how he managed through this title along with the seduction of a charming woman.
Later, he grew suspicious of this title, believing that continuously resisting temptation would eventually take a toll. If he truly viewed desire as non-existent, he’d become an emotionless being, like those deities high above.
He felt that this title was more of a test rather than keeping him in a state of equanimity. Therefore, he started ignoring this title and kept his distance from women.
Sure enough, his assumption was right; completely ignoring desire initially while going by the title, “Color is void,” was the right thing to do.
“Color is Void” is a Buddhist phrase. Everything conceivable is known as “color,” not merely beauty. Therefore, he believed this title had a higher effect.
With his gaze, a line appeared under the title, “[Color is Void, Void is Color]: [Eyes of Void] (Title must be equipped to use this effect. This effect will enhance based on the Master’s cultivation level).”
Seeing his simple effect, a strange look flashed across Lin Yi’s face. This well-known Buddhist term on Earth had been interpreted by many. He had occasionally seen its meaning on the internet.
The interpretations could be simplified to: everything in the world has a distinct image in a person’s heart. These images are discerned from within a person’s heart.
