"You did very well." Lin Yi reached out and patted the white-clad girl's head. He first channeled the incense and prayer power into the Taiyi Heavenly Escape Yin-Yang Array, and then adjusted the direction of the deduction based on the Taixu Yuanling's senses.
Soon after, the results were in.
"Let's go." Lin Yi shouted softly, then activated the Innate Five Escapes Formation and fled underground.
After going down a hundred feet underground, suddenly, a thick, chaotic aura surged forth.
Lin Yi's spiritual sense seemed to be clouded, and he could only sense the situation within a radius of a dozen feet. Beyond that, everything was a blur.

Chapter 180 Tathagata cassock
Sound travels at different speeds in different media.
The same applies to the spiritual consciousness of cultivators.
Although consciousness is essentially composed of an intangible and formless thought, there are many differences when it is actually put into practice.
When spiritual consciousness enters water from the air, it encounters viscous resistance, which increases as one goes deeper.
Even a ghost immortal who specializes in cultivating the soul can only dive to a depth of a thousand feet in the ocean at most; they cannot go any deeper.
When you go underground, the resistance is even greater, more than ten times greater than in water.
Normally, when spiritual sense passes through walls, it consumes the cultivator's spiritual power, let alone after escaping underground.
Furthermore, when the Great Zen Temple was at its peak, it had set up many methods in the Tai Shi Mountain specifically to deal with ghosts and immortals who could fly and disappear.
Although all the glory has been swept away by the winds and rains, many things still remain.
Lin Yi exerted his spiritual sense to the fullest extent, trying his best to explore the surrounding situation.
All around were sand and mud, a vast expanse of murky, turbid sand.
When Lin Yi burrowed into the ground, he found many cellars and similar places where things were hidden in the first few feet, but they had all been ransacked and there was nothing there.
In addition, there are many underground rats, pangolins, hibernating pythons, and some strange and unidentifiable animals.
As Lin Yi ventured deeper, layers of rocks, water vapor, and even underground springs and rivers came into view through his spiritual senses.
After going down more than 500 feet underground, all they found was soil and rock, nothing else.
Lin Yi personally experienced the weight of the earth, but gained nothing else. If he hadn't been confident in his abilities, he probably would have given up already.
From afar, a faint fluctuation of magical power emanated from the depths of the earth. Although this fluctuation was extremely subtle, Lin Yi still sensed it, and felt it very clearly.
"Finally here." Lin Yi smiled, mustered his magic power again, and plunged down fiercely.
This time, he descended another hundred feet, reaching a depth of over six hundred feet underground!
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a sense of ease throughout his body, as the constraints of the earth, soil, and rocks vanished completely.
A light appeared in the distance, and a stone chamber appeared before him.
With the pressure from the underground gone, his magical power quickly recovered.
Lin Yi quickly looked around. It was a separate stone chamber, completely deep underground, with no way out.
This stone chamber was not large, only about a hundred paces square, and could not be compared with the scale of an underground palace at all; at most, it was just a large room.
The entire stone chamber was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
Lin Yi immediately spotted the source of the light.
In the very center of the stone chamber, a sphere placed on a cylindrical step emits a strong light, illuminating the entire small stone chamber in a snow-white and translucent light.
Lin Yi sensed an aura of peace and eternity emanating from this sphere, an aura that seemed to be from the past. This was the same aura he had sensed just now at a depth of 500 feet.
Beneath this sphere, which was a hundred times brighter than a luminous pearl, lay a thin book. The book was dark gold in color and made of the same material as the "Past Amitabha Sutra".
The Taixu Dharma Robe on Lin Yi's body lit up, and the Taixu Yuanling poked its head out, saying, "Master..."
Before he could finish speaking, a burst of intense light erupted from the sphere in the center of the stone chamber!
Within the sphere's radiance, a dragon-shaped creature with bared fangs and claws appeared.
The dragon roamed within the sphere, layer upon layer, as if the sphere contained another small world.
The dragon's eyes locked onto Lin Yi, and it looked at him.
Boom!
As soon as Lin Yi saw the dragon's eyes, he felt an overwhelming pressure emanating from the vast void and continuously building up onto his soul.
The underground gravity that had previously disappeared now fell upon him a thousand times greater, as if the entire Tai Shi Mountain were pressing down on him.
A burst of spiritual light emanated from Lin Yi's body, forming patterns that coalesced into a landscape painting. With a single scroll, it enveloped the entire stone chamber before vanishing.
Within the landscape painting, Lin Yi stands with his hands behind his back.
As far as the eye could see, the Sacred Virtue Book formed by the Primordial River Luo Grand Array, the Merit Tower formed by the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Grand Array, the Yin Virtue Flag formed by the Tai Su Refining Form Grand Array, the Fortune Cauldron composed of the Five Blessing Heavenly Demons, and the Morality Bell composed of Yin Yang Ghosts, the Five Tai and Five Virtue Treasures were rapidly refining the suppressed light sphere under the control of the Primordial Spirit of the Great Void.
The dragon soul roared incessantly, but to no avail.
This dragon soul was born from Mount Taishi and is comparable to a ghost immortal who has survived four or five tribulations. However, unfortunately, it chose the wrong opponent this time.
"Who are you, daring to plot against me? I am the Dragon Soul of Mount Taishi. If anything happens to me, Mount Taishi will immediately collapse and the earth will split open..."
