The middle-aged Taoist priest burst into laughter, seemingly releasing all the pent-up feelings of humility, cowardice, and resentment within him. He remained the same aloof and powerful figure who held the lives of countless people in his hands.
………………
As the sun rises and the blue sky meets the sea, a divine couple arrives, stepping on a magnificent golden rainbow.
A vast continent, stretching to the horizon, with dense forests, plains, mountains, and rivers, appeared before Lin Yi's eyes.
This is a real continent, not an island in the sea.
Lin Yi could sense the profound and surging aura originating from the earth, a quality absent in islands at sea.
The two landed on land. Lin Yi looked around and found that the ground in this dense jungle was covered with a thick layer of leaves, which gave off a rotten smell.
Snakes, insects, rats, ants, scorpions, centipedes, mosquitoes, leeches and other poisonous creatures are everywhere, swarming among the decaying leaves.
In the jungle, tall trees blocked out the sun, preventing any sunlight from reaching the sky.
Especially in those rotten, damp places, clusters of colorful, mushroom-shaped clouds of smoke emerged.
These are all highly poisonous miasma; an ordinary person would be poisoned and die immediately if they only smelled them slightly.
The jungles in the wilderness are fraught with danger. Even those with the highest martial arts skills would be harassed by endless poisonous insects and weakened by the pervasive miasma.
This place is not a place where ordinary people can survive.
However, although the wilderness is extremely dangerous, the precious medicinal herbs, gems, gold mines, silver mines, and rare and exotic beasts that grow there are something that many people hope to obtain.
If the environment weren't so harsh, merchants and armies from the Great Qian Dynasty would have come to develop the area, no matter how far the sea route.
In this situation, it was naturally time for Jin Xun'er to step in.
With a sharp "squeak," the surrounding poisonous insects, snakes, and rats scattered frantically in all directions as if they had encountered their natural enemy.
"Lin Yi, aren't I amazing?" Jin Xun'er said proudly.
"Haha, you're the best," Lin Yi said with a smile.
Jin Xun'er urged, "Then let's hurry up and go treasure hunting. I want to see the complete version of the Present Tathagata Sutra right now."
"So, Lin Yi, you came to the Wilderness to search for the treasures left behind by the Great Zen Temple." Chan Yinsha chuckled and continued, "Legend has it that when the Great Zen Temple was wiped out by the Great Qian Dynasty, it packed up countless remaining treasures, and even the three great scriptures of the past, present, and future, in the temple's treasure, the Qiankun Bag, and hid them overseas. However, no one overseas has been able to find a single clue."
Lin Yi leaned close to Chan Yinsha's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, we won't have made a wasted trip. I have absolutely reliable sources."
With each breath, a scorching heat wafted over, and Chan Yinsha's heart pounded like a deer's. She let out a vague "hmm."
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Jin Xun'er shouted.
Lin Yi held Chan Yinsha's hand as they strolled through the wild jungle.
Occasionally, golden sunlight filters through the layers of branches and leaves, falling on me like scattered stars, yet shining brilliantly.
In my youth, I dreamt of a future filled with longing. I imagined walking hand-in-hand with the girl I loved, in the light of dawn and the glow of sunset, through the beautiful campus.
Let's learn together, grow together, graduate together, and strive together...
Times change, and with the turning points in life, former goals have also changed. On the path of spiritual cultivation and seeking truth, Lin Yi finds a partner once again.
Whether it's a momentary impulse or a reminiscence of the past, the important thing is to stay together and move forward steadfastly.
In the silent, dark jungle, occasionally a Primordial Chaos Capture Hand would fly out, gathering spiritual herbs, collecting ores, and capturing exotic beasts. This contributed to the development and expansion of the Small Universe Realm within the Taixu Robe.
Although the Taixu Robe contains the Thirty-Six Great Mystery Arrays, when advancing to the seventh-tier Illusion God level, one can only choose one of these paths.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Lin Yi nurtured the Taixu Robe as a future magical treasure of his grotto-heaven.
His goal for this trip, the treasure of the Great Zen Temple—the Qiankun Bag—is to create a miniature world by human hands.
After the Ghost Immortal survived four tribulations of lightning, he could create a world with a single thought. Every thought that arose could evolve into a small world.
The higher one's Taoist skills, the more expansive, stable, and longer-lived the miniature worlds one creates.
A grotto-heaven is a microcosm, but a microcosm cannot necessarily evolve into a self-contained, ever-renewing grotto-heaven.
Lin Yi turned his gaze to the undulating mountains in the distance. The Qiankun Bag was deep in the wilderness, waiting for his arrival.
This treasure is said to have been personally crafted by the patriarch "Zen" of the Great Zen Temple.
As the eldest disciple who inherited the "Yuan" lineage of the Holy Emperor, although his ultimate achievement in "Zen" was still half a step away from the Yang Shen realm, the Buddhism he founded was one of the three major intellectual currents alongside Taoism and Confucianism.
Desolate and unrestrained, coming and going as one pleases, elegant and unconventional, a spiritual realm of emptiness.
It left a profound mark on human civilization, and its achievements surpassed those of some ancient sage emperors.
Deep in the wilderness, a towering mountain stands majestically like a pillar of heaven.
Lin Yi and Chan Yinsha arrived at a river in front of the mountain.
This river meanders and is formed by the convergence of several waterfalls cascading down from the mountains.
Lin Yi stood by the river, looking up at the mountains. They were vast and boundless, with clouds obscuring their depths, giving him a feeling that there was no way to climb them.
The grandeur of the mountains and rivers contrasts sharply with the insignificance of the human body.
