In the sky, the Crimson Emperor God shattered, turning into countless crimson light spots, but Lin Yi's Innate Qi Primordial Capture Hand did not disappear. It only paused for a moment before grabbing at the Eternal Mother again.
"The power of the Dark Water, the God of the Black Emperor..."
Before the Eternal Mother could finish speaking, her large hand clenched its five fingers together.

Chapter 179 In-depth
The capital of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Yujing.
In the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, directly east of the Imperial City.
A man wearing a jade crown adorned with several strands of crimson-gold flowers sat on a chair deep within the palace.
This person's brows and forehead were always shrouded in a purple aura, like smoke or mist, giving him an incomparably mysterious and unfathomable feeling.
He is Yang Yuan, the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty. He is now thirty-six years old, past the age of thirty. However, because the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty is still on the throne, he lives in seclusion in the Eastern Palace. He does not usually show his face or monitor the country. Instead, he silently guards the palace and lies dormant.
At this moment, Yang Yuan, the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, was wearing a wide brocade robe. He placed his hands on the armrests of the chair, looking calm and composed, as if he had the aura of someone who could control the country.
He sat very steadily, his eyelids drooping, seemingly neither thinking nor doing anything. There were no eunuchs, maids, or guards serving him around the empty hall.
After a long while, a slight tremor came out of Yang Yuan's nose and "hummed" for a moment, and the entire hall suddenly became slightly dark.
Then, a woman appeared in the center of the main hall. She was none other than Xiao He'er, a disciple of the Supreme Dao who had appeared in the Scattering Flowers Pavilion before.
Xiao He'er was dressed entirely in white, her robes fluttering in the breeze. She had willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and peach-blossom cheeks, and wore a pair of pale white cloud-patterned shoes. With her hands behind her back, she focused her gaze on Yang Yuan, who sat in the center of the room.
"Wusheng, what happened that made you come to the palace to find me?" Yang Yuan raised his eyelids, and a hint of brilliance appeared in his indifferent eyes.
"My mother is dead. What do you think about this?" asked Xiao He'er, who was called "Wusheng." She addressed the Crown Prince directly, and her voice lacked the usual awe that people have for imperial power.
“If she’s dead, then let’s find someone else. Wusheng, would you be willing to take over the Wusheng Path and collect incense offerings for me?” Yang Yuan said. He seemed to have no concern whatsoever about the death of Wusheng Old Mother.
Little Crane nodded and did not refuse; this was exactly what she wanted.
The Eternal Mother cultivated herself into one of the seven great incense deities, possessing the ability to fly. Ordinary martial saints would be nothing more than sitting ducks when facing such an opponent.
However, Xiao He'er concealed the important information that Lin Yi had the protection of an "ancient divine armor," so the Eternal Mother went there excitedly and then died.
"I'll leave everything to you." Yang Yuan let out a long sigh, and the air in the empty hall condensed into a cloud of white mist that lingered for a long time, like a light ink painting, forming all sorts of shadows.
Little Crane frowned, but as she watched the various shadows that the white mist created, scattering and gathering again, gathering and scattering again, she was in a daze and ultimately gained nothing.
"Do you see that? This is the future. I don't know what it will look like. I can't fathom it, I can't see it clearly." After Yang Yuan finished speaking, he wiped his hand, and all the white mist in front of him disappeared.
………………
Meanwhile, on Mount Taishi, Lin Yi also had a ball of colorful mist churning in his hand.
He obtained a fragment of the "Future Unborn Sutra" from the spirit of the Eternal Mother.
The three major sutras of Dachan Temple are: the Past Amitabha Sutra, which is the method of ghosts, immortals and gods; the Present Tathagata Sutra, which is the method of human immortals and martial arts; and the final one, the Future No-Birth Sutra, which is the method of gathering incense and vows to become a god.
"Nine Dharma Bodies, Body Outside the Body, Doumu Xuanling, Immortal Primordial Spirit. What a boastful exaggeration." Lin Yi looked at the seven-colored mist in his hand and muttered to himself.
This cloud of mist was formed after the seven great bodies cultivated by the Eternal Mother shattered. They were all extremely pure and fanatical thoughts, which were very harmful to the soul!
If a master of Taoist arts is infected, his soul will find it difficult to escape the erosion of incense and vows. The final result will either be converted and become a fanatical believer in the gods, or become a madman.
To reap its benefits while minimizing its drawbacks, one must obtain the complete "Future Unborn Sutra" and master its practice.
Lin Yi tossed the seven-colored mist in his hand. He had no interest in incense and deities, and the incense and vow power in his hand was mixed and unusable for cultivation.
It's his own fault for being too heavy-handed when he struck earlier.
Lin Yi casually summoned the "Taiyi Heavenly Escape Yin-Yang Array," threw the seven-colored mist in his hand into it, and then started the array to perform calculations.
There is an underground palace beneath the Great Zen Temple, where a "Buddha's Robe" is hidden, recording the true lineage of the ancient holy emperor "Yuan" and the Vajra Prajna Paramita path.
In Buddhism, Vajra represents "firmness and the ability to cut through all sharp edges," Prajna represents "wisdom," and Paramita means "reaching the other shore."
The meaning of "Vajracchedika Prajnaparamita" is "to reach the other shore with the sharpness and wisdom that can cut through everything".
In other words, it is the transcendent enlightenment that a master of the Yang God realm has comprehended.
While it's uncertain whether these insights will lead to transcendence, they are unparalleled experiences gained by highly accomplished predecessors. Obtaining these supreme experiences will greatly benefit Lin Yi's future growth. This is also the reason for his trip to Mount Taishi.
The Taiyi Heavenly Escape Yin-Yang Array operated rapidly, and before long, most of the seven-colored mist was consumed. However, no clues were found.
"Master?" A soft voice called out in Lin Yi's ear.
Then a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a pure white dress and with her hair tied up in two buns that looked like two big ears, emerged from the Taixu Dharma Robe.
"Taixu, what's the matter?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.
This girl in white is the primordial spirit of the Taixu Robe. However, she is timid and shy by nature. Even though she has already mastered the true form, she usually hides deep within the Taixu Robe and is unwilling to show herself.
The girl in white gave a graceful bow and whispered, "Reporting to Master, ever since I came to this mountain, a voice from deep underground has been calling to me."
"Also, there are some incense offerings and prayers in the Small Universe Realm, which I have collected for your use, Master."
After she finished speaking, a ball of seven-colored mist appeared in Taixu Yuanling's hand. She held it carefully and looked at Lin Yi with hopeful eyes.
