Lin Yi smiled and said, "Now you don't have to worry about me being unable to beat your grandfather and thus unable to protect you, right?"
After he finished speaking, he looked around.
The underground open space was very spacious, with a Buddha statue placed in the center.
This Buddha statue is very large, standing a full 16 feet tall, and its entire body is reddish-yellow, clearly plated with gold.
He had large ears that reached his shoulders, drooping eyebrows and eyes, and sat cross-legged on a twelve-petaled lotus platform. One hand hung down, touching the ground, while the middle finger of the other hand and the ten fingers formed a ring, the nature of which was unknown.
In front of the Buddha statue, there were more than a dozen smooth prayer cushions, indicating that people had been kneeling in worship there for many years. In front of the Buddha statue, there was also a large incense burner filled with sandalwood incense, and two ever-burning lamps had been extinguished.
This Buddha statue feels lonely, lacking both majesty and grandeur, and unlike other temples where Buddha statues are accompanied by Vajras, Bodhisattvas, or other figures, it stands alone, like a commander without a weapon.
Lin Yi stepped forward and flicked the Buddha statue with his finger. A dull, solid sound immediately rang out, indicating that the Buddha statue was not made of pure gold, but rather appeared to be made of wood plated with gold.
A chaotic auspicious cloud appeared above Lin Yi's head, and a faint, boundless immortal light descended, entwining the unknown Buddha statue and seeping into the wood.
The Buddha statue made a "crackling" sound, as if the wood grain was violently cracking.
This crackling sound from wood is quite common. When the wind blows through a wooden pillar, it makes the same sound, which is the sound of the wood loosening slightly.
"Open." Lin Yi slightly spread his five fingers on his right hand, and a crack appeared in the Buddha statue. A small piece of wood wrapped in boundless immortal light flew into his palm.
This Buddha statue was carved from a single piece of golden nanmu wood, and Lin Yi took out the core of the tree hidden inside.
The core of the golden nanmu tree not only has medicinal value, but can also be used as a wooden flying sword for ordinary Taoist practitioners, making it extremely rare.
A mysterious, clear light flowed across the tree core in Lin Yi's hand, though it was only about seven inches long and a finger's width.
A clear light shone brightly, seemingly containing endless mysteries. This was an extremely unstable microcosm, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Lin Yi opened the miniature world within the tree core, reached inside, and retrieved a scripture.
This scripture is woven from black gold thread, so it cannot be burned by fire or submerged in water! The cover of the book features a large Buddha image with large earlobes reaching his shoulders, and his middle and index fingers forming a mudra.
Looking at the scriptures in Lin Yi's hand and the crimson-gold Buddha statue beside him, a name suddenly rose in Jin Xun'er's mind!

Chapter 186 Taiji Primordial Spirit Incarnation
Lin Yi seemed to sense something, glanced at Jin Xun'er, and said with a smile, "You guessed it?"
"Now the Tathagata Sutra?" Jin Xun'er said in disbelief.
Lin Yi nodded, raised the book in his hand with no words on the cover, and said, "This is the Tathagata Sutra, the secret manual of the Great Zen Temple, which is said to grant the power to dominate the present world after mastering it. But that's just bragging."
"The founder of Dachan Temple, Zen, inherited the lineage of the ancient holy emperor Yuan. Yuan was a master of Yang Shen, not a born divine being. He was the holy emperor Hong who cultivated to the point of shattering the void."
"Apart from the mysterious and unpredictable Creation Dao Ancestor, Creation Daoist, and the world-renowned Longevity Emperor and Panhuang master and disciple, no one else has simultaneously cultivated the two supreme realms of Shattering the Void and Yang God."
Lin Yi casually explained a few things, and generously offered guidance to Jin Xun'er, who helped him escape the demonic tribulation and cultivate his primordial spirit.
After speaking, Lin Yi opened the scripture in his hand and saw a Buddha statue, making other hand gestures.
The Buddha statue is painted so lifelike that it gives a three-dimensional feel. Inside the Buddha's body, there is a point that glows red!
Next to this dot is a thumb-sized image of a deity.
This is the lower half of the scripture; the upper half was torn off, so it has no name. It records the measurement of 108 acupoints on the human body and methods of cultivation!
After reading it, Lin Yi identified that 36 of the acupoints belonged to the main acupoints of the Zhou Tian system, while the other 72 acupoints belonged to hidden acupoints.
"Splash, splash."
Lin Yi quickly flipped through the pages. He felt that the method of condensing the thirty-six main acupoints of the Heavenly Cycle was somewhat familiar, but for a moment he had no clue and could not grasp that fleeting inspiration.
Jin Xun'er stared intently at the images and postures on the pages of the book. For a little demon like her, being able to witness the present Tathagata Sutra at the Great Zen Temple was a blessing earned through countless lifetimes.
Such an opportunity should not be missed.
Lin Yi suddenly stopped what he was doing, closed his eyes slightly, and his memories from the beginning of his cultivation to the present flowed through his mind like a river.
"The Star River True Scripture, the True Inner Power Techniques of the Divine Sect and Demonic Cult, the Thirty-Six Formations of the Supreme Mystery, the True Method for Commanding All Beasts by Dragon and Tiger, the Divine Restriction of the Five-Pointed Star of Heaven and Earth..."
Just then, footsteps came from the ground. Lin Yi was too lazy to get entangled with the islands of Giant Whale Island. With a movement, the void rippled like water being blown by the wind, and he disappeared without a trace.
………………
On a lush, uninhabited island in the waters of Bewitching Bay, Lin Yi appeared out of nowhere. A quick glance revealed swarms of mosquitoes, resembling black balls, rolling about and buzzing.
The stench of miasma emanating from the grass and decaying leaves beneath my feet, along with the venomous spiders, leeches, and colorful snakes crawling around inside, sent chills down my spine.
Lin Yi waved his sleeve, and a strong wind swept across the ground, clearing a space. But then he saw countless poisonous insects emerge from the ground, densely packed together.
Upon seeing this, Jin Xun'er suddenly let out a sharp scream.
Instantly, the surrounding woods rustled and all sorts of poisonous insects and snakes fled for their lives. Even many black clumps of mosquitoes scattered with a "whoosh," as if they had encountered some natural enemy.
"Huh?" Lin Yi asked with some surprise, "Xun'er, you have such methods?"
Jin Xun'er said proudly, "Of course, we Golden Spiders are the kings of all insects. When I release my aura, all the poisonous insects will obediently run away."
Lin Yi found a blue stone to sit on, stretched out his right hand, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all directions gathered, evolving into 365 different shapes in one palm.
The True Method of Dragon and Tiger Overlordship of All Beasts is a Taoist technique passed down from the Red-Haired Ancestor, one of the Ten Ancestors of the Taoist School in the Seven Phoenix Realms of the Primordial Universe (Immortal Gourd). It contains 365 kinds of spells, encompassing a wide range of techniques and is extremely complex.
"There are 365 main acupoints in the body, and each acupoint has its own technique. Isn't this the method of refining acupoints? It's just that the human immortal martial artist uses the intent of his fist to control his qi and blood to condense the acupoints, making them extremely precise and pure. On the other hand, the qi cultivator uses true qi to refine the acupoints, absorbing and exhaling the primordial qi of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon, and obtaining it from the vastness."
