Hearing Zhi Ling’s question, Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand, “Don’t worry, you actually don’t need to handle anything; it mainly depends on what kind of form you want to take.”
Within the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, after getting the news about White Painting, Lin Yi had been planning the rescue mission to the Demon Tribe. Simultaneously, he also thought of the ability to possess a virtual Demon Tribe identity, which comes with the Survivor title upgrade after reaching Refining Void.
If he had a Demon Tribe identity, he would certainly meet with White Painting and the other spirit beasts from the Spirit Beast Dojo in the future.
If Zhi Ling continued to stay in the Spirit Pet Column, there was naturally nothing he needed to do, because Zhi Ling was key to these spirit beasts recognizing him.
However, Lin Yi did not want Zhi Ling to always cultivate and live in that small space, even though the Spirit Pet Column allowed one to view the outside world from one’s perspective. Continuing like this for a long time, with no contact with the outside world, would be very detrimental to its physical and mental development.
Therefore, while in the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, Lin Yi had already figured out a solution—the best way was to reveal his identity.
He had another plan before, which was to have Zhi Ling pretend to be separated from him and accidentally come across the Demon Tribe or unexpectedly meet his Golden Serpent form and follow him.
Yet, all these reasons were far too contrived and nowhere near convincing enough for White Painting or Big Bull to believe. Rather than having them constantly guessing, it was better to just reveal his identity.
Although he knew that the more people who were aware of his ability to change identities, the greater the risk, it was a situation he couldn’t help.
Latterly, after reaching the Refining Void Realm and obtaining the title ‘Survivor Emperor’, Lin Yi discovered a new feature on the virtual identity interface that could perfectly solve all these issues without further recourse to other methods.
The purpose of the Survivor title is for him to cultivate in peace without falling into various dangers, which includes the issue of virtual identity exposure.
Hence, the virtual identity can transform the appearance of the Spiritual Artifacts he used, avoiding recognition by others and thereby preventing exposure of his virtual identity.
The previous title, Survival King, only allowed the transformation of his own Spiritual Artifacts and did not include anything else, but after upgrading to the Emperor of Survival title, the virtual identity lifted the restriction on Demonkind and also gained the ability to transform the appearance of a bonded Spiritual Pet.
However, it could currently only transform the identity of one Spiritual Pet.
This was the rigor of the Path of Survivor; as the title continually upgraded, the risk of his virtual identity being exposed would become increasingly lower.
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Zhi Ling seemed to have thought of something. Its face showed a trace of excitement, and it began to dance and cry out, “Master, I want to become a Golden Serpent too…”
Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle, catching Zhi Ling in his hand and gently patting its head, “You dare to look exactly like your master? You really are brave.”
“There can only be one Golden Serpent for now, so give up on that idea. Think about other kinds of Monster Beasts, and don’t choose one too much larger than your own size, otherwise, you won’t be comfortable.”
The background he had created for his Golden Serpent identity was that of a descendent from the Immortal Realm, a True Dragon Descendant. Of course, he did not broadcast this information everywhere; the most ingenious approach was not to proclaim it himself but to let others speculate.
Descending from the Immortal Realm is no mean feat, so having one Golden Serpent descend was already earth-shattering, let alone two.
“Master, when I was captured by others, I thought it would be great if I could fly. So, I want to become a bird,” Zhi Ling pondered and then spoke in his heart.
Lin Yi instantly sensed this and nodded his head. After a moment of contemplation, he opened his mouth and said, “Alright, how about you turn into a Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Spirits of Heaven that doesn’t exist in the Spirit Profound Realm but only in the Immortal Realm. It’s very beautiful and represents fire.”
Subsequently, he displayed his idea through a spell. A crimson bird that symbolized good fortune. In the Cultivation World, the legends of the Four Sacred Beasts also existed, but no one had ever truly seen them.
It’s rumored that these Four Sacred Beasts reside in the Immortal Realm. Presumably, the Immortals had transmitted this information through some channels.
As a Golden Serpent descended from the Immortal Realm, it was only proper that he possessed a Vermilion Bird Spiritual Pet.
However, Lin Yi naturally wouldn’t transform Zhi Ling to look exactly like the legendary Vermilion Bird. Its color would be slightly paler, and its form altered, resembling a descendant of the Vermilion Bird.
In the legends of the Spirit Profound Realm, the Vermilion Bird is one of the Four Sacred Beasts, a divine being, higher in status than the Phoenix. He couldn’t possibly bring down a real Vermilion Bird directly.
“This is the original form of the Vermilion Bird; you need to become like this, similar to a Vermilion Bird’s descendant.” Lin Yi displayed the modified form.
Zhi Ling looked at the modified form, excitedly nodding its head, “Even if it’s just a descendant, it’s so beautiful. Master, I want to become like the form you’ve just shown. I can’t wait.”
“Alright, wait a moment. I’ll construct it for you first.” Lin Yi patted its little head, then opened the Spirit Pet Column and selected the Spiritual Pet option. Two choices appeared, one for Zhi Ling, the other for Fire Feather.
However, since Fire Feather was in the Lower Realm at the moment, its option was greyed out, indicating that its identity could not be transformed.
Although he had taught many spirit beasts in the Spirit Beast Dojo, the only ones he had formed a contract with were Zhi Ling and Fire Feather.
