The God of Heavens

Chapter 250 The Present Tathagata, Human Acupoints

Giant Whale Island is located deep in Enchanted Bay and is a vast island. The island is lush and green, almost entirely covered by primeval forests, with rolling hills and almost no signs of human habitation.

The Snake Valley leading to the island is humid and hot year-round, teeming with snakes and insects, making it a place that inspires fear.

Lin Yu thought to himself, "If a large army comes to besiege us, I don't know how many lives will be lost." However, he felt more at ease and at ease acting alone.

After easily dispatching a few sentries and obtaining more detailed information from their minds, Lin Yu did not stop and continued forward.

After passing through a winding, deep canyon, a vast plain suddenly unfolds before your eyes.

The land is flat and open, with crisscrossing farmland and scattered houses. Waterwheels turn slowly, and millstones creak, creating a vibrant scene.

The straight road, like the official road of the imperial court, extends far into the distance, connecting all directions.

In the center of the plain, a city stands majestically, with banners fluttering on its walls and soldiers appearing and disappearing between the crenellations. The strict security contrasts sharply with the surrounding pastoral scenery.

"This Giant Whale Plain covers hundreds of thousands of hectares and is surrounded by mountains on all sides, forming a natural barrier. The land on the plain is fertile and has abundant springs. It is an excellent choice for building cities and moats, and for cultivating the land."

After carefully examining the place, Lin Yu secretly admired it. Once he conquered this place, he could transfer the landless people from the coast here and turn it into an overseas province of the Great Qian Dynasty!
He didn't linger on the plains, heading straight for the city in the center of the island.

The walls of Whale City stand tall, banners flutter in the wind, and the soldiers guarding the city are all fierce-looking, strong, with dark skin and white teeth, and every move they make exudes a wild aura that is almost like that of orcs.

"Who goes there! Where did you come from?!" A sharp shout suddenly came as they reached the city gate.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a person dressed in a green robe, with even his eyebrows dyed green, staring intently down at him. Lin Yu gave him a look.

"boom"

The invisible fist intent burst forth as if it were a tangible force. In an instant, the green-robed man on the city wall felt as if a terrifying god, with feet treading on the underworld and head reaching for heaven, was throwing a punch at him from afar!
"Ahhhh!!!"

A great terror descended, and the green-robed man let out a shrill scream. The soldiers on the city wall were also shaken to the ground by this terrifying fist force, collapsing in a chaotic mass.

"So it's Green Eyebrows, the second island master of the Giant Whale Island pirates. It's really easy to get him."

After some time, Lin Yu put down the person in his hand. Among the pirates of Giant Whale Island, there were three island lords, one of whom was Green Eyebrow.

Having obtained the information he wanted, he headed straight for the magnificent mansion in the center of the city.

As for those soldiers, he no longer takes them seriously; a single glance from them can subdue an entire group.

In the center of the city, a magnificent mansion stands. The walls are high and imposing; the stone lions in front of the gate are majestic and awe-inspiring; the vermilion gate is inlaid with copper nails, heavy and solemn.

Above the lintel, a huge plaque stands out prominently. Bright yellow characters read – Royal Palace of the Giant Whale Kingdom.

Lin Yu stormed through the palace and finally met the Lord of Giant Whale Island in the study deep within the palace.

"Take me to your secret chamber!" Lin Yu directly controlled the man.

"Yes!!" The man dared not disobey and led Lin Yu through layers of bookshelves to the center of the study. There was a secret room underground. Opening the mechanism revealed a staircase leading downwards.

The floor inside was dry and free of moisture, and the steps were worn smooth, clearly indicating that people walked on them frequently.

Upon entering the secret chamber, one finds a wide, flat area with a babbling underground river running alongside it. On the flat area, a Buddha statue is placed.

This Buddha statue is sixteen feet tall, entirely reddish-yellow, clearly plated with red gold. It has large ears that reach its shoulders, lowered eyebrows and eyes, and sits cross-legged on a twelve-petaled lotus platform. One hand touches the ground, and the other hand forms a mudra, the nature of which is unknown, exuding solemnity and majesty.

In front of the Buddha statue, there were more than a dozen smooth, polished prayer cushions, clearly indicating that people had been kneeling in worship there for many years. A large incense burner in front of the Buddha statue was filled with burning sandalwood. The two ever-burning lamps had been extinguished.

This Buddha statue sits alone in the center, lacking both majesty and grandeur, and unlike other temples where Buddha statues are accompanied by Vajras, Bodhisattvas, or other figures.

"Now the second half of the Tathagata Sutra is in there." A hint of joy appeared on Lin Yu's face.

He activated his spiritual power, and a gentle breeze immediately emerged from between his eyebrows, wrapping around the mysterious Buddha statue before slowly seeping into its wooden body, penetrating deeper and deeper.

This Buddha statue is carved from golden nanmu wood. Nowadays, Buddhism is declining and there is no market for it. As his thoughts deepened, he felt a subtle sensation in the veins of the tree.

He circulated the Amitabha Sutra of the Past, allowing his thoughts to transform into the image of Amitabha Buddha of the past and remain within the tree core.

Click!Click!
Suddenly, a faint, clear light emanated from the Buddha statue.

This is a sign that the microcosm within it has been discovered.

Lin Yu walked up to the clear light and reached his hand into this tiny world with only a crack in it. When he pulled his hand out, he found a scripture in his hand.

This scripture is woven entirely with black gold thread. On the cover is a large image of a Buddha with large earlobes reaching his shoulders and his middle and index fingers forming a mudra.

This is the Present Tathagata Sutra, one of the three great scriptures of the Great Zen Temple!

However, only the bottom half of the book in Lin Yu's hand remained; the top half had been torn off.

Lin Yu turned to a page and saw a Buddha statue. He made another mudra. The Buddha statue was drawn so lifelike that it had a three-dimensional feel.

Inside the body of this Buddha statue, there is a shimmering red dot, next to which is a thumb-sized image of a deity. Without a doubt, these are methods for measuring supreme acupoints and cultivating spiritual energy!

"The human body is filled with acupoints and pores, as numerous as the stars in the sky. Each acupoint corresponds to a star in the sky, from the spiritual mountain of the brain to the earth's pole on the soles of the feet..."

Lin Yu spent some time reading through the entire half of the scripture, and he also memorized some of the images and postures of the deities.

The entire half-book contains a total of one hundred and eight acupoints!

He sat cross-legged and matched the locations of the acupoints he had obtained with the light spots on the human body that he sensed during meditation using his innate true energy.

"Indeed, there are heavenly gods, earthly gods, mountain gods, and river spirits. The spirituality of innate true qi can also be regarded as a kind of spirit, and it can resonate with the acupoints of the human body."

After confirming this, he held his breath and focused his mind, looking inward at himself.

During meditation, the acupoints throughout his body twinkled like stars in his sea of ​​consciousness. He guided his innate true energy like a gentle stream, which flowed into the soles of his feet.

"Wave!"

With a soft sound like a lotus seed breaking through water, the chaotic barrier deep within the acupoint opened in response.

Primordial Qi continuously surged in, carving out a clear space within the chaos. The Qi and the acupoint spaces merged and gradually became indistinguishable.

In an instant, Lin Yu had a mysterious feeling that his legs were connected to the earth beneath his feet, as if he were rooted to the ground and one with the world.

He could clearly feel the immense energy surging within the earth's veins; with a mere thought, he could draw upon the boundless power of the earth.

With his feet firmly planted on the ground, this newly opened acupoint space began to absorb and release the primordial energy of heaven and earth on its own, transforming the pure earth elemental energy into innate true energy, which then nourished his entire body.

With the two acupoints of the earth's poles pierced, the human body can sense the earth's slight "pulse" and draw endless energy from it.

Walking on the earth, one can even have a feeling of "shrinking the earth to an inch," which in the urban world can be said to be an awakening of superpowers.

Or rather, every acupoint in the human body harbors unique "superpowers".

Cultivators continuously refine their acupoints, which is a process of constantly exploring the potential of the human body until the flesh and blood are derived and transformed in countless ways, ultimately breaking through the boundary between the real and the virtual, and reaching the supreme realm of shattering the vacuum.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu was shocked. "Superpowers" is just a term used in the urban world; the correct term should be "supernatural abilities."

Each acupoint opened grants a unique supernatural power. The human body has 1,296 major acupoints, so only a few dozen need to be opened. The different supernatural powers within these acupoints can be combined to create "magic."

The combination of acupoints, which connect the present and the future, and the channels through which the innate vital energy circulates, are called "meridians"!
True Qi, meridians, and magic, when combined, constitute the Way of Qi Cultivation!

……

The city lord of Giant Whale Island was under his control, and Lin Yu cultivated in the basement. With each breath he took, the acupoints around his body flickered like stars.

Each time an acupoint is opened, a different flow of vital energy enters, continuing until all thirty-six acupoints are opened, exhausting the body's reserves before stopping.

At this moment, 36 of the 108 acupoints were bright and dazzling, but the remaining 72 acupoints appeared somewhat dim.

"It seems this is the only way for now." He slowly finished his practice, and the flickering starlight around him gradually faded away. At this moment, the true energy within his body circulated, and the thirty-six acupoints formed a small cycle, operating on its own.

With every gesture, he resonates with the heavens and earth; with a single thought, he mobilizes various energies, effortlessly conjuring fireballs, water arrows, golden swords, and all sorts of spells.

However, he is not yet a human immortal. Although his acupoints have been opened, he can only cultivate to about two or three-tenths of their potential. He still needs to continue to refine and polish his skills until they are fully opened.

After leaving the basement, Lin Yu found the other two island lords of Giant Whale Island and subdued them one by one.

This island is vast, comparable to a province of Daqian, and in a prime location. Lin Yu intends to bring it under his control.

He was planning that once Zhao Hu sent men to integrate the pirates, he could use them to rack up more battle records.

“My lord, a Yunmeng person has come here.”

Just as Lin Yu was overseeing preparations on the island, the Lord of Giant Whale Island came to report with a solemn expression. The visitor was none other than a subordinate of Bi Shihua, the Ironclad Marshal.

"The man of Marshal Bi Shihua of the Buddha?" Lin Yu's eyes lit up.

The five commanders of Yunmeng are of high rank and great power. If one of them can be killed, it would be enough to be ennobled and granted a fiefdom based on this merit.

Although it was not Bi Shihua himself who came this time, capturing his generals would still be a good opportunity.

The key point is that the Yunmeng people's fleet is quite impressive, which is exactly what he needs to expand his twelve-linked dock naval forces.

"Come on, you lead the way, we're going to meet this person."

Lin Yu signaled the Lord of Giant Whale Island to gather his troops and prepare for battle before heading to the port, while he concealed his aura and followed behind.
