The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles - Chapter 556: Spiritual Pet Zhi Lei_2

Zhi Ling and its mother had tears of happiness glistening at the corners of their eyes. When they stood up, their paws were tightly entwined, showing no sign of unfamiliarity despite the many years of separation.

Afterward, Lin Yi and Zhi Ling’s parents chatted for a while. He stayed in the Monster Forest for two days, then said to Zhi Ling, “Zhi Ling, stay in the Monster Forest for a while, spend some time with your parents.”

Zhi Ling’s parents shook their heads, “Benefactor, since it is your spirit pet, let it go with you. These two days have been enough to clear our longing for it.”

“As long as we know that our first child is alive and very happy, we will be contented. We have already discussed with Zhi Ling that if we miss it, we will visit the Sun Moon Divine Sect.”

Lin Yi looked at Zhi Ling and, seeing that it also nodded, agreed, “Alright, if you want to see Zhi Ling, you can visit my Sun Moon Divine Sect. However, you must not tell anyone about today’s reunion.”

He was currently under the identity of Invincible East. If the fact that he owned a Lightning Mink leaked out, some people might try to link him to his own true identity in the Liu Yun Sect through the Lightning Mink.

Especially the organizations opposing the Creation Method, even the slightest suspicion would be enough to make them act without hesitation, no concrete evidence needed, just like how the Master of Bi Hai had also only suspected that his Creation Method was successful, and had meticulously arranged a plan to assassinate him.

At this moment, Zhi Ling’s parents handed their second child to him with a laugh, “Benefactor, Zhi Ling told us about everything. So, this child, please also accept it as a spirit pet. This way, we have a valid reason to visit the Sun Moon Divine Sect, and Zhi Ling’s existence will not be exposed.”

Lin Yi couldn’t help but give a glance at Zhi Ling. This little one was indeed smart, understanding the need to keep this a secret even though he hadn’t told it.

Zhi Ling grinned baughtly, waved its hand at Lin Yi, and sent a Divine Intent, “Master, don’t thank me, even though I know how awesome I am.”

“Little one, you become breathless when I call you chubby,” Lin Yi said, unable to hold back his laughter.

Seeing the playful banter between Zhi Ling and Lin Yi, the two Lightning Minks also smiled. This benefactor really treated Zhi Ling like a partner, not just a pet.

“In that case, I won’t refuse. I promise to take care of your second child as well.” Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

Later, with the help of Zhi Ling’s parents, he made a master-servant contract with the Lightning Mink cub and named it Zhi Lei.

After bidding goodbye, Lin Yi returned Zhi Ling to the spirit pet column, put Zhi Lei on his shoulder, and flew out of the cave mansion towards the outskirts of Monster Forest.

Along the way, many monster beasts saw the Lightning Mink cub on him, cursing the Lightning Mink for being spineless and giving its child to the Eastern Sect Master as a spirit pet.

However, while they spouted angry words, they were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment in their hearts.

Although there was a feud between monster beasts and humans, strong human cultivators were targets that many monster beasts wished to follow. By following these powerful cultivators, not only could they secure their cultivation, they wouldn’t have to worry about their safety either.

Just like this Eastern Sect Master. He had the power to blow away one of the Dao Ling Zong’s Nascent Soul Great Perfection True Monarch in the Xuan Tian Realm, displaying terrifying strength.

Now, since the Lightning Mink cub has been taken as a spirit pet by the Eastern Sect Master, these two old Lightning Minks would also be protected. Their usual enemies would not dare to seek revenge lightly.

On his way out of the Monster Forest, Lin Yi encountered some monster beasts holding their cubs, wanting him to take them as spirit pets.

He refused without hesitation. To become his spirit pet, there needed to be a bond. He wouldn’t take in random creatures.

After a while, when he left the Monster Forest and quickly returned to the Sun Moon Divine Sect, nearly half a year had passed since his trip to the Monster Forest.

After greeting Jade Illusion Zen Ren, he returned to his secluded Dong Fang Feng. Bringing along Zhi Ling and its sibling Zhi Lei, he entered the Dan God Secret Realm and first came to the Spirit Beast Dojo.

Zhi Lei had never seen a scene of monster beasts attending classes. His small eyes stared wide in disbelief when he saw a big tiger, with a book in its paw, lecturing in such a donnish manner. It completely overturned his youthful perception of the world.

Tiger Gate also sensed their arrival, it came out, respectfully bowed, and said, “Tiger Gate pays its respects to the Master.”

Then, it looked at the small creature next to Zhi Ling, its face immediately showed surprise, “Sister Zhi Ling, when did you have a child? Why didn’t you notify us? We could’ve thrown a banquet.”

Without hesitation, Zhi Ling released her lightning power, causing Tiger Gate to twitch from the shock all over its body. “Speak nonsense again and I’ll electrocute you to death. This is my younger brother, Zhi Lei.”

Tiger Gate widened its eyes, scratched its tiger head with its claw, and said hastily, “Cough, Sister Zhi Ling, your parents surely aged like a fine wine. Don’t electrify me, I was wrong. Off to teach classes now…”

Seeing Zhi Ling about to release electricity again, it begged for mercy and hastily scurried back into the classroom.

Zhi Lei looked at his authoritative sister, his small eyes a bit bewildered.

At this moment, Zhi Ling realized something, turned back to look at Zhi Lei, and couldn’t help but ask, “Zhi Lei, did you see something just now…?”

Although Zhi Lei was a bit muddled, his innate survival instinct caused him to shake his head without hesitation. “Sister, I didn’t see anything…”

Zhi Ling gently stroked its little head with satisfaction, “Good kid, let’s go, sister will take you around to see other places. Master, we’ll go play first.”

Lin Yi had to suppress his laughter and nodded. After meeting with their parents, he noticed that Zhi Ling had become much brighter.

Afterward, he met with Pill Immortal Master for a while before heading to the Cave Mansion for cultivation. Then, he changed back into his Undefeated Form and released Yin You, the black-cloaked Taoist.

As Yin You was released, he sensed the dense Five Element Spiritual Energy in front of him, as well as the unfamiliar Cave Mansion. His face showed a trace of astonishment. Facing Lin Yi, he spoke with a darkened face, “Eastern Sect Master, I didn’t expect you to be so ruthless. I fled to the Monster Forest, with no intention of seeking revenge.”

“Between you and me, there’s a deep blood feud. Even if you hid up in the heavens or burrowed down into the earth, I would have found you,” Lin Yi said calmly.

A surprised and puzzled look filled Yin You’s face. “How can there be any hatred between us? We have never even met in person. Moreover, I am just a small Golden Core, how could I possibly have a grudge against you?”

He racked his brains but couldn’t remember having any hatred with this Eastern Sect Master. If they really had come face to face, it would be absolutely impossible for him to forget such a bewitching face.

“The Eastern Sect Master you see is just my clone. You should have met my real self, and the memory should still be deep,” Lin Yi said, instantly changing back to his original appearance.

Seeing Lin Yi, Yin You’s face displayed extreme horror, “You, you, you are actually that kid from the village back then. This, this is impossible! Didn’t you join Liu Yun Sect and just recently achieved your Golden Core? How… how could you have such a strong strength? It’s been less than 200 years.”

His eyes bulged out, completely refusing to believe the scene before him.

As for Lin Yi, he naturally remembered him. After causing a bloodshed in that village, he had been keeping an eye on this boy. When he found out that he had joined the Outer Sect of Liu Yun, he was somewhat surprised that this kid was even thinking about joining the righteous path to seek revenge against him.

Afterwards, he felt this kid would never be able to establish a foundation in his lifetime, and stopped paying him too much attention.

But then, a few years ago, during the Golden Core ceremony held by Yun Yi Zen Ren of Liu Yun Sect, even though they didn’t invite their Path of Demonic Sects, they eventually came to know about this person through certain means.

At that time, he was utterly shocked. A person with lower-grade spiritual roots, who had also experienced the destruction of his entire village and damage to his mentality, how on earth could he achieve the Golden Core? This was completely an impossibility.

But now, an even more impossible scene unfolded. This kid was not a Golden Core, but an incredibly powerful Nascent Soul True Monarch.
