Some places are where all sorts of resentment gather, and hatred, curses, and resentment coalesce into a vast expanse, making them breeding grounds for evil spirits and malevolent souls, and are usually called evil places.
In the distance, a group of evil spirits were attacking a dimly lit spiritual realm. Their howls were incessant, filled with resentment and malice.
Inside the spiritual realm, an elderly Taoist priest stood blankly, showing no reaction to the situation outside.
“Master…” Lin Yi looked at the old Taoist priest in the Spirit Realm, his eyes couldn’t help but get a little wet. He waved the Tai Su Refining Flag in his hand, and Tai Su white energy swept across, instantly annihilating all the evil ghosts.
A trace of Yin virtue descended and, under Lin Yi's control, all fell into the spiritual realm.
The old Taoist's empty eyes gradually regained a spark of life, and he began to move mechanically within the spiritual realm.
Is it because there is too little virtuous conduct?
Lin Yi found a perilous place, and as soon as he approached, a dense aura of malevolent energy from the Netherworld rushed towards him, the sense of death and damnation penetrating straight to his heart. Countless evil spirits flew out from it, baring their fangs and claws, their presence terrifying.
The malevolent spirits and vengeful ghosts in this evil place were quickly wiped out by Lin Yi. One after another, pure white lotuses were planted, absorbing the resentment, curses, and hatred that had gathered within them, constantly transforming themselves.
The light mist gradually dissipated, leaving only a gust of cold wind blowing intermittently.
As time went by, this small area gradually developed a sense of tranquility and peace.
Lin Yi was busy in Xiaoqingshan. His master's soul was too damaged and needed a lot of Yin virtue energy in order to use the earth soul imprint in the spiritual realm as a basis to draw the heaven soul and reunite the life soul.
Once the three souls are united, whether one chooses to follow the path of ghost cultivation where yin reaches its extreme and yang is born, to be reincarnated, or to seek a divine position, all are good options.
On this day, Lin Yi purified another evil place. Strands of Yin virtue energy merged into the spiritual realm, and a ray of spiritual light flew in from beyond the sky and merged into Lin Zhengyang's soul.
As the Heavenly Soul returned to its place, countless colorful fragments flew in from all directions, each fragment a vivid picture.
Within the nearest Great Evolution Spirit Realm, a tall and robust deity shrouded in white mist-like incense smoke watched the commotion outside and muttered to himself, "The three souls unite, the spirit gathers and the form is refined. In this Little Green Mountain, who could have such a great opportunity?"
As he spoke, he flew out of the Spirit Realm, and under the scrutiny of his divine eyes, he exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that the location of Senior Brother Lin's Spirit Realm?"

Chapter 98 Walking the Great Path Alone
A divine light flew in from afar, its color pure and clear, clearly not from an evil god or demon.
However, Lin Yi did not dare to be careless. A white lotus appeared above his head, and wisps of pure white energy descended to protect him.
The Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword flew out from his sleeve and blocked the way.
The divine light receded, and a red-robed deity appeared. He opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly his expression changed, and he looked at Lin Yi with surprise and suspicion.
Lin Yi also sensed something; it seemed as if something within the red-robed deity was constantly calling to him. The underworld beneath his feet trembled slightly, and the entire small green mountain opened its arms to him.
The red-robed deity's body flickered with spiritual light, and the True Immortal Talisman within him seemed to have encountered a chosen one, stirring restlessly. It appeared that the other party could easily dethrone him with a mere flick of a finger.
"This humble deity greets the venerable immortal," the red-robed deity hurriedly landed and said respectfully.
Lin Yi nodded slightly, put away the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, and said nothing.
The red-robed deity could only stand quietly to the side.
In the past few days, Lin Yi has purified most of the bad land in Little Green Mountain and has gained the approval of the mountain spirit.
The red-robed deity was appointed through investiture, and the difference between the two is simply too great.
If Lin Yi wished, he could transform into a natural deity of Little Green Mountain right now. As long as he doesn't stray from the Dao of Heaven and Earth in the future, he could coexist with this great mountain.
Refining Yin Mountain grants control over the mountain; refining the Styx River grants control over the water.
If he continued refining along the way, then... a divine path leading directly to the Heavenly Emperor's position would inadvertently unfold before Lin Yi.
Unfortunately, not every local deity is as easy to deal with as the one from Xiao Qingshan.
The deities of many famous mountains and rivers have long since refined their corresponding Yin Mountains and Rivers of the Underworld, establishing a solid foundation and enduring fortune. Some have even evolved their divine kingdoms into celestial realms, freeing themselves from dependence on the earth's spiritual veins.
It can truly be said that they can control everything behind closed doors, regardless of spring, summer, autumn, or winter.
Even the Great Xia Dynasty, when dealing with such a powerful figure, primarily focused on recruiting and appeasing him.
If you want to cut down mountains and destroy temples, you need to find someone else to do it.
Getting back to the main point, Lin Zhengyang's process of gathering his soul and refining his form is gradually coming to an end.
The red-robed deity secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had once been fellow disciples, and he hoped that Lin Zhengyang would succeed.
Just then, a blood-red demonic cloud flew in from afar, representing murder, destruction, chaos... as if it were the collection of all negative forces.
"Hehe, my Seven Stars Illuminating Fate Bone-Melting Demon God is still missing a high-quality Yin Soul. It's truly a stroke of luck."
Before the words were finished, a gigantic claw that blotted out the sky emerged from the demonic clouds, reaching down towards the spiritual realm below, ready to take it all away.
Lin Yi waved the Primordial Refining Flag in his hand, and streams of Primordial White Qi swept across, but they were all blocked by the Blood Flame Demonic Fire swirling around the demonic claw. Although he had refined some of the demonic fire, the difference in magical power between the two sides was too great, and he could not change the overall situation.
As the demonic claws descended, the red-robed deity closed his eyes. He kept muttering to himself, wondering why his elders hadn't arrived yet. He had already sent out the highest level of danger signal; wasn't it said that the northern part of Lingzhou was under their control?
Lin Yi would not sit idly by and wait for his death; the River Luo Heavenly Book flew out from the Tai Xu Dharma Robe.
The Taiyi Heluo Grand Formation sealed a fourth-order demon king, which was the most lethal of the five innate treasures he possessed.
As the innate pure energy swept away, the demonic claw suffered a great loss, with one-fifth of it being dispersed and refined.
Above the blood-flame demonic cloud, a middle-aged man appeared.
This person had a face resembling a crab shell, hair like thatch, and a height of at least twelve feet. He wore a half-sleeved robe embroidered with images of celestial demons on his upper body, and two pieces of crimson animal skin around his lower body. Seven skulls hung from his chest.
Six of them had moving eyes and open mouths, as if they were alive. Only one remained motionless, which must have been the Seven Stars Illuminating Bone-Melting Demon.
