The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 542: Chapter 280: Escaping into the Monster Forest_1
After the inauguration ceremony of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, Lin Yi saw off the cultivators from various sects at the mountain gate. He thanked them with a bow, bid farewell, and returned to the sect. He had the Jade Illusion Zen Ren begin recruiting disciples and had a test formation set up near the Inner Sect for new disciples’ initiation.

He personally constructed this test formation, with Jade Illusion Zen Ren assisting next to him.

The formation could generate an Illusion Land, testing the disciples’ mental strength and fortitude. Only those who passed the test could become disciples of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, either as Inner or Outer Sect Disciples, depending on the testing results.

The formation was also built under the guidance of the Pill Immortal Master, rather ingenious. Even Jade Illusion Zen Ren, a specialist in illusion techniques, would inevitably be affected and get immersed in it.

Thus, those with ulterior motives or inherently evil personalities would absolutely fail the formation test.

After taking care of some affairs, Lin Yi didn’t simply delegate everything to others but instead set out to annihilate the remaining remnants of the Xuan Yin Sect.

The Xuan Yin Sect once had ten Golden Core Real Persons, but only six were present at the time of its dissolution. According to Lin Yi’s assumption, the other four likely had escaped beforehand, planting the seeds for future revenge.

Among them was the black-cloaked Taoist who wiped out the entire village Lin Yi had previously encountered.

Lin Yi chose not to slay these Taoists immediately, allowing them to relax and feel a glimmer of hope of escaping. Then, he could act all at once, plunging them into despair.

Lin Yi returned to his Cave Mansion. Instead of choosing the main peak, Sun Moon Peak, he selected a nearby tranquil mountain and renamed it Dong Fang Feng (Eastern Peak). It was situated in the east and every morning, he could watch the sun rise from the direction of the mountain.

Inside the Cave Mansion, he activated the formation. It wasn’t because he doubted his capabilities but rather, out of a need for caution.

He then took out the bottle that held Yin Wei, the Sect Hierarch of Xuan Yin Sect’s Divine Soul. Opened the lid, releasing the spirit within.

The divine souls of general cultivators carry Yang energy and are called Yang Gods, but the divine souls of the Xuan Yin Sect don’t possess any Yang energy – they are filled with Yin Evil Qi. Perhaps they could be referred to as Yin Souls.

The divine soul of Yin Wei floated hesitantly out of the bottle. Upon seeing Lin Yi, he flew at him in a rage, shouting, “Eastern Lady, I’ll fight you to the end.”

Lin Yi’s finger released a wisp of dark Chilly Flame. With a light swing of his hand, the flame directly pierced Yin Wei’s divine soul, causing him to scream in agony.

Lin Yi sneered, “I am not the lady you can call out freely. Now, tell me, where are the four Golden Core Real Persons who escaped in advance?”

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Yin Wei echoed with a hearty laugh, “Hahaha, aren’t you the all-seeing Eastern Sect Master? Can’t even find a few Golden Core Real Persons? Just you wait, one day they’ll return and annihilate your Sun Moon Divine Sect.”

“Oh, I thought of giving you a chance, dying in less pain. But since you refuse, so be it,” Lin Yi said indifferently. With the Eye of Emptiness, inspecting his own karma, he could also trace the whereabouts of others, although it was a bit more troublesome.

After finishing speaking, he employed the pacifying effects of his title ‘Good Person’. The rank of this title had been gradually leveling up as he kept performing good deeds. After exterminating the Xuan Yin Sect, he had acquired a lot of Good Person points and title experience.

At present, this title had reached the eighth level, and the persuasion rate for Golden Core cultivators had reached one hundred percent.

Under the effect of the ‘Good Person’ title, Yin Wei soberly revealed the hiding places of two of the Golden Core Real Persons. These were places they had set up in advance.

If Lin Yi, the Eastern Sect Master, came to extinguish the Xuan Yin Sect, the four Golden Core Real Persons would each hide for a year or two until the situation settled. They would then come out to cause trouble.

Two of the Golden Core Real Persons would stay in a pre-arranged hideout of the Xuan Yin Sect, while the other two would randomly find places to hide to avoid being exterminated simultaneously.

He also interrogated Yin Wei about other matters.

When Lin Yi halted the effect of the title, Yin Wei suddenly realized something, his divine soul trembling slightly, “You, what did you just do to me? Why did I tell you their hiding places?”

“That’s not important now. Prepare to enjoy.” Lin Yi merely smiled and released several red Evil Spirits he had previously obtained from Yin Wei.

First, Lin Yi performed a degree of Rebirth Ritual on these low-sentience Evil Spirits, enabling them to regain some sentience.

Upon seeing Yin Wei, they displayed intense hatred. Even after the ritual, the white shade in their bodies re-transformed back into red.

“Revenge sparkles revenge, quench your hatred,” Lin Yi waved his hand and said.

Without any hesitation, the Evil Spirits pounced on Yin Wei, tearing and consuming him amidst Yin Wei’s shrilling screams.

After Yin Wei was completely devoured, Lin Yi used the Rebirth Charm to redeem the spirits, not only earning Virtue Points but also Mercy Value, and Good Person points. It was a threefold gain.

He then sent a message to Jade Illusion Zen Ren and transformed into a light, disappearing in the sky above the Inner Gate of the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

According to Yin Wei’s confession, only two of the Golden Core Real Persons would be hiding in predetermined locations—the first Golden Core Real Person surprisingly had taken refuge within the territory of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, possibly planning to hide in plain sight.
