Chapter 660: Chapter 331: One Transforms into Three Bodies

“`

After entering the cave and sealing the entrance, Lin Yi saw the green miasma seeping in, showing no surprise at all; he had conducted many experiments with the sample of miasma he had previously purchased from the Dao Palace.

Thus, he clearly knew that this miasma could penetrate almost anything, even mountain walls, which is why it’s impossible to stay in the Green Mist Area for a long time.

While cultivating and comprehending the Refining Void Realm, he took out a medium-grade Spiritual Artifact he had refined which, upon activation, formed a protective barrier around his body.

After coming to the Spirit Profound Realm, he realized how much the Lower Realm valued the differentiation between realms: Foundation Establishment as “Great Cultivator,” Golden Core as “Sage,” and Nascent Soul as “True Lord.”

In the Upper Realm, however, there isn’t as much fuss, with everyone addressed either as Daoist friends or as seniors.

Similarly, there are very detailed classifications for objects in the Lower Realm, such as Magic Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, Magical Weapons, Spiritual Treasures, and Taoist Treasures.

However, in the Upper Realm, there isn’t such tedious classification, with all artifacts crafted by Cultivators collectively termed Spiritual Artifacts, which are further divided into lower, middle, upper, and supreme grades.

According to the classification of the Lower Realm, Magic Artifacts are commonplace, Spiritual Artifacts and Magical Weapons are lower-grade Spiritual Artifacts, Spiritual Treasures are middle-grade, Taoist Treasures are upper-grade, and supreme-grade Spiritual Artifacts are infinitely close to Immortal Artifacts.

What Lin Yi had refined was a Spiritual Treasure corresponding to the Transition realm of Huashen to Void Refinement, which in the Upper Realm would be called a middle-grade Spiritual Artifact. He had crafted it using the Power of Decay, absorbing the corrupt forces within his body, and through the Spiritual Artifact’s effect, forming a protective barrier.

Compared to one he could form himself, it was more efficient in conserving the corrupt forces.

Under the effect of the Corruption Barrier, the miasma couldn’t get close and would decay upon contact, slowly losing its toxic nature.

Besides, the ability of the Chilly Flame could also dissolve and decompose the miasma, although it consumed more energy than the power of decay.

Moreover, he himself had the title “Survival King,” which was the third title obtained after activating the Title System.

Over the years, he occasionally refined Poison Pills to upgrade the title, which had now reached the sixth stage, increasing his poison resistance and detection abilities further.

With this title active, the damage caused by the miasma spreading here became extremely negligible, yet even “negligible” brought some harm.

Once the green miasma enters the body, it would directly impact the Primordial Spirit, almost undetectable by Divine Sense.

However, it could be detected and eliminated using the Eye of Emptiness, though that was a bit too troublesome; it was easier to defend from the outside.

Besides, he expected to break through to the Refining Void Realm within less than a year of cultivation in the Green Mist Area, so he took the most convenient approach.

Lin Yi consumed some Pills and activated the Minor Blessing State, entering the final stage of his breakthrough.

And so, nearly a year passed before he broke through the last bottleneck and his Primordial Spirit formed three separate entities.

At the moment of breakthrough, the Title System notification appeared, asking if he wanted to activate the [Survival King] effect to conceal the Spiritual Energy Phenomenon.

Lin Yi naturally chose to hide it, otherwise, even in the midst of the Green Mist Area, the astonishing phenomenon of the Refining Void Realm breakthrough would attract people nearby and even those from outside, making it impossible to properly absorb Spiritual Energy.

Through the Eye of Emptiness, he could see through the mountain wall and view the sky above, where countless Spiritual Energies converged despite the blockage of the green miasma, streaming down directly.

If not hidden, such a phenomenon could be seen even from a great distance.

At this moment, with the breakthrough to the Refining Void Realm, the Creation Method operated automatically and the three separated entities entered the three Nascent Souls.

Following that, the Spiritual Energy accumulating above flooded in, and the three Nascent Souls in his body rapidly grew larger until they burst forth from the Dantian within his body and appeared within the Cliff Cave Mansion.

The Overlord Identity of the Upper Field of Elixir, the Pedestrian A Identity of the Middle Dantian, and the Invincible East Identity of the Lower Field of Elixir all manifested.

A look of surprise flashed across Lin Yi’s face as the three Nascent Souls, nourished by Spiritual Energy, slowly took on the appearance of adults, showing no trace of their former Nascent Souls.

He couldn’t help but marvel at how fate was incredibly powerful.

Moreover, choosing to break through outside the Dao Palace was the right decision; otherwise, he would have had three more people inside his own Cave Mansion.

Fortunately, he was prepared and had dressed the Nascent Souls in Spiritual Clothes, and the excavated Cliff Cave Mansion had been expanded enough to accommodate four or five people.

Otherwise, the three entities formed by the Nascent Souls would have been naked.

Yet, looking at these three entities, Lin Yi felt only a sense of blood connection; they were himself, with no distinction between him and them. Seeing oneself, could there be any embarrassment?

Of course, although there was no distinction between him and them, there was a primary and secondary distinction; he was the original, and that was an unchangeable fact.

As he absorbed the Spiritual Energy, he extended his Divine Sense outward to inspect his current appearance and couldn’t help but smile; indeed, with the emergence of the three entities, he too had returned to his original form.

When he reopened the Title System, the function for virtual identities had turned grey and was no longer usable.

He estimated that once he finished absorbing the Spiritual Energy and officially stepped into the Refining Void Realm, the Path of Survivor title would likely upgrade to the next stage.

The Spiritual Energy attracted by this realm breakthrough was incredibly rich, and with it being divided among him and the three entities, each absorbed their share.
