After everything settled down, Ghost Heart Child was nowhere to be found.
The True Fire of Qianyan is heavenly fire, righteous and mighty, sweeping away all evil and filth. Ghost Heart Child will not even have the chance to become a ghost.
"Although the Heavenly Light and Divine Thunder of the Thousand Flames are against the will of Heaven, they have granted my wish. Thank you, Uncle-Master Chen," Lin Yi thought to himself.
Then, with a flash of divine light, he vanished.
Lechun County, Qingxia Palace.
Upon hearing the news, two lines of tears slid down Chen Jingming's cheeks.
He never imagined that the life-saving lightning bolt he gave to Lin Yi to intimidate the enemy would become his tool for revenge.
His friend Lin Zhengyang is dead, his successor is gone, and his enemy has also been annihilated.
Chen Jingming resigned from his position as president of the academy and returned to the Haoyang Sect's mountain gate, choosing to remain in seclusion until his death.
They either advance to the third level and become a Taoist True Person, or they die quietly.

With a flash of divine light, Lin Yi traveled through time once again.
This time, the destination is a dimensional universe that is already in a state of decline, the Primordial Universe (Immortal Gourd).
When Lin Yi awoke from the wonder of traveling through time and space and wandering through endless chaos, he was greeted by a verdant landscape.
This is a lush forest.
A wild rabbit suddenly pounced straight at Lin Yi. Just as Lin Yi was about to step back and move aside, he suddenly found himself in a dreamlike state.
The hare passed right through Lin Yi's body and continued running forward.
An eagle circled low in the sky, then, with a sharp gust of wind, swooped down towards the hare.
The eagle spread its claws to grab the rabbit's neck.
The hare nimbly leaped to the side, dodging the eagle's attack.
The eagle kept its eyes fixed on the hare, flapping its powerful wings to strike the hare.
Suddenly, the rabbit stopped moving and lay on its back with its four legs in the air.
The eagle swooped down on the hare, intending to peck at its eyes.
Just then, the hare suddenly sprang out its hind legs and kicked the eagle hard in the belly. After several kicks, the eagle flapped its wings and fell headfirst to the ground.
The hare turned around, got up, shook its fur, looked around warily, and ran away quickly.
After watching the scene of "the rabbit kicking the eagle," Lin Yi then saw the eagle die and its soul leave its body.
A flash of divine light enveloped him, and it swept over the eagle's soul.
Under the divine light, a mark composed of countless talismanic runes appeared in the most hidden place of the eagle's soul.
"This must be the mark left by the innate pure yang treasure, the Book of Life and Death, which transformed into the Nether Phoenix, in the bodies of all living beings in the Seven Phoenix Realms." Lin Yi thought to himself, and then he saw a mark appear in his sea of consciousness, and his body also solidified from the ethereal.
The eagle's spirit returned to heaven and earth.
Lin Yi felt the mark of the Book of Life and Death in his sea of consciousness and smiled slightly. This was just a fake ID.
Now, let's begin our journey through the Seven Phoenix Realms.
Above the nine heavens and below the nine netherworlds, in a land of creation that transcends all concepts of time and space, a pair of eyes pierced through countless layers of time and space mist, sweeping over Lin Yi.
"The Immortal Dao Fruit, the Eternal Seed. This fellow Daoist offers more hope than those beings who utterly fall after the destruction of the universe."
As far as the eye can see, there is boundless chaos and an endless universe.
What good is the Immortal Dao Fruit? It can only catch His eye once.
………………
In the Seven Phoenix Realm, Lin Yi walked through the mountains and forests, browsing the information he had unearthed from the depths of his sea of consciousness, and gradually gained a preliminary understanding of this world.
In ancient times, there were seven phoenixes who created the world: the Heavenly Phoenix separated chaos, the Separating Phoenix established the Five Elements. After that, the Xi Phoenix transformed into the sun, the Underworld Phoenix purified the hell, and the Nuwa Phoenix created humankind!
Then there is the phoenix, born on the sacred parasol tree, which commands all birds and beasts under heaven and is the leader of all demons; the cinnabar phoenix is born in the flames of immortality, which ripens the five grains and gives birth to all trees.
In terms of cultivation, the Taoist school here takes Taiji, the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, the Nine Palaces, and the He Luo constellations as its principles, and connects with the primordial energy of heaven and earth as its foundation, cultivating infinite means to ride on mist and clouds and live freely and unrestrained.
The specific steps are divided into nine major steps: fetal movement, entering the body, sensing, condensing evil, refining qi, elixir formation, foundation of the Dao, transcending tribulation, and nurturing!
Only by completing these nine steps can one completely shed the physical body. If the physical body was damaged beforehand, the primordial spirit cannot cultivate, and the gate to immortality will be closed from then on.
The third level of Qi cultivation, the sixth level of Qi attainment, and the ninth level of Qi cultivation, namely, the third level of Qi perception, the sixth level of Qi formation, and the ninth level of Qi nurturing, are all crucial steps in the transformation from quantitative to qualitative change. These correspond perfectly to the first four stages of Taoist cultivation in the Great Xia world: Taoist, Master, True Person, and True Lord.
Lin Yi sorted through all the information and pondered, "I wonder what time period it is now? Old Qiu, the head of the ten patriarchs of the Daoist sect in this world, has the word 'Supreme' in the Daoist teachings he passed down. Is there any connection between him and the Supreme Dao Ancestor of the Great Xia World?"
With these questions in mind, Lin Yi left the forest and came to the main road.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Southern Sect of the Demonic Cult, the Jade Pear Dynasty
Lin Yi had been walking along the main road for a short while when he saw many people with magical powers, or with burly and imposing figures, hurrying past him.
A sense of curiosity arose in Lin Yi's heart, and he immediately quickened his pace.
