Chapter 729: Chapter 364: Means of Purifying Evil Energy_2
 

When the fox demon ancestor who had crossed tribulation heard the three fox demons chattering endlessly by his side, he nearly lost his patience and sent them on their way to the afterlife.

Because the three Integration Stage fox demons had many descendants within the Fox Clan and together they represented a significant force. If he were to execute them, it would assuredly bring about the enmity of the Fox Clan.

However, allowing these three to continue to stay within the Fox Clan would definitely lead to turmoil and corruption. In the end, he chose to expel them from the Fox Clan, forbidding them from approaching the territory of the Fox Clan by even a single step.

Nevertheless, these three reborn fox demons were not about to give up. Thus, they continuously reached out to their descendants and disciples through messages, urging them towards goodness, and they would also specifically search for other fox demons in the marketplace, ceaselessly persuading them as if they were part of a pyramid scheme.

At the same time, Lin Yi taught them some persuasive tactics designed to beguile demon hearts. Although the Fox Clan was somewhat cleverer than the other demon tribes, in the long run, they couldn’t resist the temptation of these persuasive words and many followed these three fox demons to undergo purification.

Under the influence of his title, he also sensed three Auras of Creation and developed a method for purifying living beings.

The previous three fox demons had been purified with their bodies destroyed and only their bodies of the Primordial Spirit remaining. Now facing these living fox demons, he needed to adapt his methods.

Using the three Auras of Creation with the Golden Human Energy as the core, he infused compassion and kindness, further empowered by the “You Are a Good Person” title, enabling him to remove the evil qi within the fox demons and at the same time, purify their hearts, thus eradicating the evil in their divine souls and leaving behind only the nature of a good person.

According to his analysis, the title “good person” acted like a primer within; however, the key role was still played by the three Auras of Creation.

Lin Yi was willing to give a chance to those fox demons who were willing to turn away from their evil ways and embrace goodness, whether due to their own desire or being swayed by those three Integration Stage fox demons. The remaining ones who did not come for purification were naturally those with deeply ingrained Yin Evil Qi and must be eliminated.

Of course, by that time, he would not need to take action personally.

Indeed, what he could remove were merely the evil qi within the bodies of these fox demons and the malicious thoughts in their hearts. As for the black evil qi generated from previous misdeeds and the karmic retribution they needed to face, he could not remove them.

Even if there were ways to remove them, he wouldn’t let these fox demons off easily.

Even if they had been reformed through his methods, it did not mean they were forgiven for their past evil deeds. They still needed to perform good deeds and achieve some merit to make amends for their transgressions against the human race.

Lin Yi walked out of his Cave Mansion into the outside courtyard where he met Bai Tianhong, an Integration Stage fox demon, who had brought several fox demons with him, some at the Refining Void and others at the Transformation Realm.

Seeing Lin Yi, Bai Tianhong first bowed with a fist-clasped salute, “Dragon Friend Lin Yi, these are clan members willing to embrace goodness and correct their ways. I hope Dragon Friend can put the past behind and help them eliminate their own evilness and walk the path of righteousness.”

The accompanying fox demons deeply bowed and said, “We request the help of Elder Dragon to guide us towards kindness and the path of the bright way.”

Lin Yi nearly wanted to laugh; these fox demons were like those who joined pyramid schemes in later generations, wholeheartedly wishing to learn how to make money, “It seems you are indeed deeply mired in the pain of dark evil. Let me help you find liberation.”

“Thank you, Elder Dragon, for your great kindness and mercy, unforgettable for all our lives.” The fox demons promptly bowed with fists clasped, faces full of expectation.

Afterward, Lin Yi led these fox demons inside his Cave Mansion, adorned them with the Compassion and Good Person titles, and finally used the three Auras of Creation with a special method, cleared the evil qi within their bodies, and purified their divine souls, bestowing them with compassion and good intentions.

In the moment of completion, these fox demons suddenly felt their bodies become much lighter, the previously inner dark thoughts completely replaced by light.

“Let’s see if your appearance and breath have changed,” Lin Yi said as he used a spell to create a water curtain mirror in front of the fox demons, allowing them to see themselves.

The fox demons noticed that their appearances had become more agreeable than before, free from the malevolent aura, and they all looked much more vibrant. Even their looks seemed handsomer and more dashing. Could this be the change brought about by walking the path of light?

“Thank you, Senior Dragon,” a few fox demons expressed their gratitude with joyful clasped fists once again.

“No need for thanks. Remember to follow the bright path in the future, be good foxes, and make amends for the sins you once committed. Perhaps in the future, you may have the chance to become an auspicious being like the Nine-Tailed Fox of the Immortal Realm,” Lin Yi said with a wave of his hand, knowing that the most important aspect of persuasion was to offer grand visions. Without a vision to chase, how could one pursue it?

The fox demons couldn’t help but reveal a longing look on their faces, “We will definitely be good demons.”

“Alright, go back with Daoist Bai Tianhong,” Lin Yi smiled and nodded. This was the strategy of using demons to control demons, and given time, without his intervention, the fox demons would crumble on their own, leaving only the good foxes behind.

Even if the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor or other Great Demons of the Integration Stage wanted to stop it, they would be powerless. Some sparks can ignite a prairie fire; once the idea of light is sown, it keeps spreading.

Bai Tianhong clasped his fists with a bow, showing a serene smile, “Come, follow me back, and let us carry forward the bright path of our Fox Clan to the end.”

Lin Yi watched them leave with a smile that he couldn’t suppress at the corner of his mouth. After the three Integration Stage fox demons that had been reincarnated through borrowed bodies were expelled from the Fox Clan, in just a few decades, they had led nearly a thousand members of the Fox Clan to DEFECT.

Of course, most of those were demons below the Transformation stage, and about one-third above that stage. Most of those who came for purification were the descendants and clan members of the three Integration Stage fox demons, or from their factions.

Like today, with both Refining Void and Transformation stage foxes, it’s unknown how much cajoling it took to bring them here for purification.

Because of this, the three Integration Stage fox demons even established the Holy Sect specifically for fox demons who wanted to embark on the bright path.

However, as one of the Five Major Demon Clans, these nearly thousand Fox Clan members, while not a drop in the bucket, still represented a very small proportion. But with time, this number would certainly grow.

Now he could still personally purify these members of the Fox Clan, but once their numbers increased, that would no longer be viable. Therefore, he needed to quickly elevate his cultivation to the Integration stage, where the Union of Three Energies might allow him to create the Light Pill. By then, taking the pill could eradicate their malevolent qi.

As for the kind-heartedness and goodwill of a good person, he would have to plan for that later. Perhaps after the Union of Three Energies, he wouldn’t even need the effects of those titles to change perceptions.

The next day, Lin Yi continued his study at the Demon Saint Palace with the Monster ancestor of the Golden Peng Clan. His plan was to reach the Ninth Level of Void Refinement within a millennium. Nearly four hundred years had passed, and his cultivation had reached the Sixth Level of Void Refinement.

In the next few hundred years, he needed to put in even more effort because, the closer one gets to the end of their realm, the larger the cultivation jump becomes, and the difficulty of advancement increases.

Moreover, after obtaining the Aura of Creation and increasing his cultivation through learning titles, the increase in cultivation had decreased significantly. This is because the power contained in the Aura of Creation was so immense that the ratio of absorbing the cultivation of these patriarchs to replace with Aura of Creation’s own would decrease.

It’s like a normal Refining Void Realm, if they were to shear the wool of a Tribulation Demon Patriarch through learning titles, they would definitely reach Great Perfection of the Ninth Level within five hundred years.

Because his Aura of Creation, even in the early stages of the Refining Void Realm, could exert the mighty strength of the late stages of Fusion. Now, his realm had reached the middle stages of Refining Void, already able to exhibit strength close to that of Crossing Tribulation. Such was the power of the Aura of Creation.

The reason he needed to advance to Integration quickly is that once the Three Auras merge, his strength would greatly increase. Facing those in Mahayana after Crossing Tribulation, he might even have the power to fight.
