The Small Universe Array Diagram inherently possesses the wondrous ability to break through the vast universe and roam freely in the void.
With Lin Yi's magical power infused into it, ripples spread across the void like the surface of water. After several escapes, they arrived at the outermost ninth layer of the Heavenly Gang Atmosphere.
Upon arriving here, the immense suction force from the Seven Phoenix Realm caused the Small Universe Realm to move, increasing the mana consumption by more than tenfold.
As Lin Yi had anticipated, a Zhou Tian Star Array flew out from the Tai Xu robe, drawing upon the power of the outer star river and transforming it into an inexhaustible source of power, immediately propelling him out of the Seven Phoenix Realm.
Being surrounded by endless galaxies allows one to better appreciate the vastness of the universe and one's own insignificance.
The Seven Phoenix Realms have existed for ten thousand years, but in the grand scheme of things, it is but a negligible period of time.
However, cultivators who emerged from the Seven Phoenix Realms, such as the Ten Ancestors of the Daoist School, the Wuzhuang Temple, and the Taibai Sword Sect, were enough to shake the universe.
Spiritual practice is the process of creating one miracle after another.

Chapter 87 The Human Heart Turns Upside Down, the Dao Heart Arises
Lin Yi unfolded the Zhou Tian Star Array, drawing in endless stellar power and pouring it into the Taiyi Heavenly Escape Yin Yang Array, propelling the array to rapidly perform calculations.
In the primordial universe, the celestial constellations were divided into four palaces, with the Nine Heavens Galaxy located at the center of these four palaces: Dragon, Phoenix, Martial, and Mysterious. The world created by the Seven Phoenixes was situated at the intersection of the Dragon Palace, the Phoenix Palace, and the Nine Heavens Galaxy.
The Central Galaxy is the most prosperous place in this universe, while the Seven Phoenix Realm, although it was born only briefly, was created by the Heavenly Phoenix, the Lord of Creation.
If we consider the Central Galaxy as the Demon Capital of China on Earth, then the Seven Phoenix Realms are the Imperial Capital.
Therefore, the Nascent Soul experts who emerged from the Seven Phoenix Realms were all incredibly powerful and had no friends, even when they reached the Central Star River.
Getting back to the main point, after waiting for several days, Lin Yi obtained the result of the calculation of the Taiyi Heavenly Escape Yin-Yang Array. Although there are many stars around the Seven Phoenix Realm, only one is suitable for life to thrive.
Lin Yi paused the operation of the Taiyi Heavenly Escape Yin-Yang Array, and then used the power of the stars to propel the Small Universe Realm Array Diagram to shift through the void. More than five months later, he finally approached his destination.
This is a pure white star, radiating a strange brilliance. The celestial atmosphere surrounding it is quite peculiar, actually divided into sixteen layers, much denser than that of the Seven Phoenix Realms.
It is precisely because of this incredibly dense layer of celestial energy that this star emits a dazzling white light.
In the outermost layer of celestial atmosphere, countless enormous cloud beasts, resembling living beings, tumbled and fought endlessly within the clouds, having existed for countless millennia.
Occasionally, a cloud beast would be forced back into its original form, dispersing into a cloud of mist, only to reassemble itself shortly afterward. It would simply be slightly smaller due to the loss of its vital energy.
Lin Yi knew that these cloud beasts were not only excellent materials for refining cloud-restricted magical artifacts, but also the highest quality and purest Qian Tian Gang Qi needed by Taoist cultivators when refining their internal energy.
He flew out a purple cloud array diagram from his Taixu robe, and with just one scroll, he captured a cloud beast.
The cloud beast was captured into the array diagram. Lin Yi casually examined it and found that there were actually thirteen cloud patterns inside its body.
Once the cloud beast takes shape in the celestial atmosphere, natural runes will grow within its body. However, these runes are not perfect at first and will gradually become complete after about ten thousand years. And it will take another ten thousand years before a second rune grows.
As the cloud patterns within their bodies increase, these cloud beasts grow larger and more powerful. Unable to remain within the original celestial atmosphere, they ascend to the next level.
The cloud beast that Lin Yi captured casually actually had eighteen cloud patterns on its body, indicating that it had been cultivating for at least 180,000 years.
The Cloud Escape Technique, one of the six great escape techniques of Taoism, is the Lesser Heavenly Cloud Forbidden True Technique, created by a senior master who simulated the innate runes within the body of a cloud beast.
If these eighteen cloud patterns are the restrictions of the Eighteen Lesser Heavens Cloud Restriction True Technique, they would become a rather remarkable magic weapon with just a little refinement.
Lin Yi channeled his magic power, slightly refined the captured cloud beast, and then threw it into the Small Universe Realm. He then pointed and captured a second cloud beast.
The Taixu Dharma Robe is a collection of thirty-six great formations from the lineage of the Taixuan Elder, and can truly be described as infinitely mysterious.
Although these cloud beasts were enormous and possessed abundant energy, they were powerless to resist this magical treasure and could only resign themselves to their fate.
This cloud beast is somewhat inferior to the previous one, but it still has thirteen cloud patterns inside its body.
Relying on the power of the stars drawn by the Zhou Tian Star Array, Lin Yi did not need to worry about his own lack of magic power. He unleashed his escape light and flew away at high speed, collecting all the cloud beasts he encountered along the way.
This star has sixteen layers of celestial energy, especially the outermost layer, which is the most refined, ancient, and powerful part of the celestial energy. Even the weakest cloud beasts inhabiting this layer have more than a dozen cloud patterns within their bodies.
At first, Lin Yi didn't pick and choose, capturing all the cloud beasts he encountered. After he had flown halfway around the star, there were already hundreds of cloud beasts in the Small Universe Realm.
These cloud beasts were enormous, and their constant fighting made the formation, which had been refined to the tenth level and had a very spacious interior, somewhat inadequate.
Lin Yi then set aside the smaller ones and focused solely on cloud beasts that had been cultivated for over 300,000 years. He collected these cloud beasts not only to obtain additional materials for refining weapons, but also to prepare for his future cultivation.
After collecting all thirty-six Heavenly Cloud Beasts, Lin Yi deactivated the Zhou Tian Star Array and descended with his escape light.
The gravity on this star is even stronger than that of the Seven Phoenix Realm, making flight naturally more difficult.
After penetrating through sixteen layers of celestial atmosphere, Lin Yi finally felt a clear opening before him. The place he had landed on was a continent spanning over 100,000 li.
This place is called Tianzi Kingdom. Its language and writing are similar to those of the Seven Phoenix Realm. It is unknown which master planted the seeds of civilization here.
Several days later, in the capital of Tianzi Kingdom, Lin Yi was listening to a tune in a restaurant.
Although he couldn't understand the deeper meaning of the song, he still found it pleasant to listen to.
The customs and traditions of Tianzi Kingdom are different from those of the Tang Dynasty in the Seven Phoenix Realm.
The local people are known for their fierce and tough nature, and the climate is hot, so many men are shirtless, with various weapons tucked under their waists and ribs.
Although the woman's attire was slightly more formal, it was still nothing more than covering her chest with a cloth and wearing lantern-like trousers that revealed her slender waist, beautiful navel, and a pair of small and cute feet.
Her face was covered by a light veil, partially obscuring her features, which ironically made her appear even more beautiful. She also carried sharp broken blades, scimitars, or small weapons such as double-handed forks.
Several voluptuous women in the restaurant kept glancing at Lin Yi, casting flirtatious glances at him.
The several burly men beside them looked displeased, their expressions eager to knock that hateful guy to the ground so they could show off their power and attract the ladies' attention.
