During this period, Lin Yi suffered repeated defeats but continued to fight, yet his mastery of the Taixu Robe steadily increased. He had already refined the first four layers of the thirty-six major formations within it.
In particular, the Nine Heavens Fire Palace General Formation, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, and the Myriad Swords Illusion Formation have all reached the level of being formed with a single thought.
The Blood River Daoist and Granny Tai Xuan's other two avatars were busy with something and did not join the pursuit.
Therefore, Lin Yi boldly used Grandma Tai Xuan's divided spirit as a whetstone.
In a cave dwelling left by predecessors, Lin Yi, shrouded in the light of eternity, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, silently observing his own state.
Within his dantian, encompassing the seven innate true waters and true fires, the Star River True Qi, having completed the eight cycles of Jade Liquid, had long since transformed into a tangible Milky Way, both concrete and subtle, slowly rotating.
Countless stars shone brightly, condensing and never dispersing.
The spiral galaxy operates according to its own laws, subtly reflecting the changes in the celestial bodies, and is ever-renewing.
After a long while, Lin Yi opened his eyes and stood up.
Seclusion is a form of cultivation, as is weapon crafting and alchemy. Similarly, combat is also a form of cultivation.
Cultivation is inherently a path that defies the will of Heaven and defies destiny.
Use battle as real fire and water to temper your beliefs, spirit, will, courage, and ambition!
Ultimately, it breaks the limits of life and death, elevates life, and transcends oneself.
Without this ambition, one can never dream of opening the door to immortality, living as long as heaven and earth, and shining as brightly as the sun and moon.
As the Eternal Light receded, Lin Yi unleashed a powerful aura that spread in all directions.

Chapter 81 Life offers few opportunities to fight
This time, Grandma Tai Xuan did not attack with lightning speed as she had before.
Lin Yi waited for a while, but there was still no movement.
He muttered to himself, "After chasing her for half a year, has Granny Tai Xuan finally given up?"
However, Lin Yi did not let his guard down. The Eternal Light Curtain slowly unfolded, illuminating an area of a hundred miles, but he did not find anything amiss.
Lin Yi gradually relaxed. He was indeed quite tired after these days of constantly battling with Granny Tai Xuan.
The Five Elements Formation of the Primordial Chaos was activated, and Lin Yi headed north.
After fleeing for hundreds of miles, suddenly, an incomparably powerful magical force surged from the front, and Lin Yi felt as if he had crashed into an iron plate, his vision immediately filled with stars.
A continuous array of mountains and rivers rose from the earth.
At the same time, high above, the Yellow River, with its nine bends, poured down.
The mighty river, carrying the force of a cascading waterfall, rushed toward Lin Yi.
Sand was in the water, and the turbid waves surged. The vast yellow sand rapidly consumed Lin Yi's magic power. Under the combined attack of water and sand, the power increased a hundredfold.
Two great formations stood one above the other, with a crimson rainbow stretching across the sky between them, carrying endless crimson light and divine lightning as it rolled in, determined to turn Lin Yi into dust.
Faced with such a perilous situation, Lin Yi circulated the Star River True Qi in his dantian, and his entire spirit and energy were rapidly increasing. His divine sense vibrated, and he said, "Grandma truly has excellent methods."
Before he finished speaking, a myriad sword illusion array had already been set up around him.
The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation counters the Nine Heavens Fire Palace General Formation, but is also countered by the Mountain and River State Formation.
Lin Yi's only reliance now is the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand and the Myriad Swords Illusion Array around him.
The thought of "escaping" was immediately extinguished by him.
Since Granny Tai Xuan is so persistent, why not have a showdown?
If you want war, then let's fight.
We cultivators have nothing to fear in a battle.
His fighting spirit burned like fire, but Lin Yi's mind had risen to an even higher level.
All the changes in the outside world and within his body were reflected in his heart, but they were like calm water, without causing the slightest ripple.
A sword aura was unleashed, and the distance in space seemed to disappear, appearing directly in front of Granny Tai Xuan, colliding with a bolt of blood-red divine lightning.
"Instant Sword Technique." Granny Tai Xuan was slightly surprised. She hadn't expected that the damned little thief could break through in the heat of battle and use this superior sword technique that could move through the void and was unpredictable.
If this little thief were to forge a golden core in the future, and then comprehend the peerless swordsmanship of refining swords into threads and even differentiating sword light, and combine it with the Taixu Dharma Robe, I'm afraid I would find it difficult to withstand his attack.
Upon realizing this, Granny Taixuan's murderous intent intensified.
Lin Yi channeled all the primordial energy transformed from the thirty-six phantoms left behind by the Tai Xuan Elder into another "Taiyi Heavenly Escape Yin-Yang Array".
This grand formation cannot be used for magical combat, but it can calculate everything. However, each calculation requires at least dozens of units of internal energy.
Lin Yi used the Taiyi Heavenly Escape Yin-Yang Array to calculate the flaw in Grandma Taixuan's killing scheme.
The Mountain and River Formation and the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation share the same origin and complement each other, so naturally there are no flaws to be found.
However, with the addition of the third avatar created by Granny Tai Xuan using the Blood Transformation Scripture, everything was no longer perfect.
Under Lin Yi's control, the sword light of the Thousand Swords Illusion Array flickered and changed, sometimes like a heavenly horse galloping through the sky, leaving no trace, and sometimes like a white horse flashing past, chasing light and lightning.
The Instant Sword Technique and the Thunderous Sword Qi Technique, two superior sword techniques, shone brightly in his hands.
