"Bring him back."

Lin Ye gave the order, and Xuan Nu waved her hand, directly carrying the World Honored One's head back the way she came.

The Buddha didn't dare to breathe loudly, fearing that the other party might crush his skull if they were displeased.

Shen Aobai looked at Lin Ye and said, "Sir, with your current strength, if you don't want to be subservient to others, you should have made plans long ago."

Lin Ye glanced at him, naturally understanding what he meant.

"You want me to step into the spotlight?"

"It's not just about stepping into the limelight, but... directly seizing territory, openly and legitimately building our own mech legion, and creating a high-tech city for a new era."

Everyone paused, their eyes lighting up with excitement.

If Lin Ye seizes the territory, then they will all become his direct subordinates in the future.

Their status will rise accordingly...

They might even become one of the world's top celebrities!

Admittedly, they are not short of money now, but human desires are endless.

Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

This plan was indeed part of his strategy; he had previously been wary of his own lack of military strength.

But now, his military strength has indeed reached an extremely terrifying level, and building a force that is openly visible should not be a problem.

At that time, gathering the strength of an entire region to build an ideal cultivation city for oneself, or even the ideal cultivation city for the entire human race, would be a good thing for both oneself and others.

However, once this matter begins, there is no turning back.

He will have to confront the entire Federation, and even the entire planet Earth, in a comprehensive way.

He will be feared and dreaded, and could very well trigger a nuclear strike.

We need a suitable entry point.

"You may all leave now."

Lin Ye sensed that Xuan Nu had returned, and his thoughts returned to reality. Everyone nodded and immediately withdrew.

Before long, the World Honored One had been captured and brought back by the Mysterious Woman.

When he arrived at the Jingyun Group laboratory and saw Lin Ye, his heart skipped a beat.

Lin Ye did not conceal his energy field, so the other party sensed it immediately.

Isn't this the extremely terrifying aura I sensed at Shanghai University that day?

Good grief, he was wondering who built such a terrifying mech, and it turns out it was the other party who built it.

Therefore, it seems that the forces behind the other party are even more terrifying.

"Buddha...Buddhism is the ultimate good, I pay my respects to...I pay my respects to my senior."

Without the slightest hesitation, the World Honored One immediately knelt down before Lin Ye.

Lin Ye remained calm and immediately activated his mental scan.

However, they discovered that there was a special protection within the other person's mind and consciousness.

This made Lin Ye raise an eyebrow slightly.

Because this protection didn't seem like his own power, but rather... some kind of powerful blessing.

For example, the blessing he casually gave to Lu Jingyun and the others.

Withdrawing his spiritual power, Lin Ye spoke calmly, "Speak, what brings you to see Lu Jingyun time and again?"

"This humble monk is only here to retrieve the lost God-Slaying Sword."

"The God-Slaying Sword is with me."

Zhi Shan nodded, a bitter smile on his face.

"This humble monk has already guessed."

The person behind Lu Jingyun is Lin Ye. Besides Lin Ye, who else could possibly seize the God-Slaying Sword?

"Senior's strength is extraordinary, and this humble monk is completely in awe. Consider the God-Slaying Sword a gift from our Buddhist sect to you. Please forgive this humble monk's offense."

Lin Ye glanced at him.

"There's one thing I need to correct you on: the God-Slaying Sword belongs to the Gu family, and Gu Manyun is now my subordinate."

Even if they were to retrieve the God-Slaying Sword, it would be perfectly reasonable.

Therefore, your life has a different price.

Zhi Shan's heart skipped a beat.

"senior..."

Seeing that Lin Ye's gaze was calm and unmoved, he finally let out a long sigh.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

He believed that as long as he dared to say "no," Lin Ye could send him to meet Buddha in the next second.

"What would you like, senior?"

"I want to go to a sacred Buddhist site and see the many Buddhist scriptures."

Not scriptures, but the true classics, the classics of martial arts.

The knowledge he gained at Shanghai University was no longer enough to enhance his mental experience; he needed new knowledge.

That kind of knowledge that transcends the basics.

The Buddhist martial arts practiced by the other party, in a certain theoretical sense, can be considered an extension of many basic martial arts.

This includes mathematics, physics, and the rules governing the use of elements.

Just like the difference between university courses and primary school courses.

It will definitely enhance my mental abilities again.

Upon hearing these words, Zhi Shan's expression changed drastically, and she immediately refused.

"That's impossible. Those are the most precious treasures of our Buddhist sect, concerning the honor, disgrace, rise and fall of Buddhism. Even within Buddhism, only one or two people in each generation can cultivate them, and they are never passed on to outsiders."

Lin Ye spoke again, "We're all smart people, no need for any fancy tricks. If you don't give it to me, I can find it myself."

The difference is simply whether you get a beating or not.

Zhi Shan's face twitched violently involuntarily.

Although he wanted to refute it, he knew in his heart that Lin Ye was right.

After pondering for a long time, he finally sighed, as if resigned to his fate, and slowly said, "If that's the case, then this humble monk understands."

"You're smart."

"However, I must assure you beforehand that within that secret realm lies an ancestral formation passed down through my Buddhist sect. Its power is unfathomable. Due to the dense fog, it has now been reactivated, and it is deepening daily..."

Zhi Shan was very smart. He knew that it was better to discuss some things in advance, otherwise, if any misunderstandings arose, it would only bring more negative consequences.

"You just need to lead the way."

Meanwhile, in a corner of Shanghai.

A young man sneaked into a small billiards room.

"Excuse me... do you sell those kinds of potions online that can awaken people's consciousness?"

The man with tattooed arms at the cashier grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"Of course, but well..."

He rubbed his fingers together, swallowed hard, and opened his pocket, revealing several handfuls of red bills.

"Money is not a problem, I have everything prepared."

"Hehe...that's fine then, come with me."

One day later, at Zen Mountain, in Bodhi Cave.

Lin Ye, Xuan Nu, and Zhi Shan arrived here.

"Senior, this is where I am in seclusion. Bodhi Cave contains many ancient secrets of our Buddhist sect."

However, the area around Bodhi Cave is already covered with a large array, making it impossible for anyone other than a special disciple to enter.

Unless... we can get through the formation.

Lin Ye did not answer, but instead released his mental energy to explore.

They soon discovered that a huge formation was indeed hidden below.

It's fine for ordinary people to go in, but if high-energy substances go in, it will automatically trigger a reaction in the array.

Among them could be extremely powerful cultivators or superhumans, mechs similar to the Mystic Maiden, or even highly concentrated explosives.

"The wisdom of the ancients is indeed extraordinary."

In modern terms, this method is equivalent to a high-precision energy scanner.

The ancients accomplished this driving force using only a special array formation, which truly demonstrates their skill.

However, this problem stumped others, but it didn't stump Lin Ye.

Lin Ye's mental scan quickly revealed the differences and connections between the patterns.

Just like solving mathematical equations, no matter how difficult the mathematical equation is, there is always a final answer.

Unless it is an incorrect mathematical equation, but an incorrect mathematical equation cannot be used as a problem, and the formation will naturally not be valid.

He slowly landed on the ground, and the formation sensed a terrifying energy, immediately releasing an extremely high-intensity pressure.

Immediately following this was a frantic absorption of the surrounding energy, not only spiritual energy, but also various elemental energies.

There are many small Buddha statues on the ground around them, each with a different shape and different patterns.

Once activated by energy, it unleashed golden phantoms, like gods and Buddhas descending, directly approaching Lin Ye.

The first to appear was a giant golden Buddha, which immediately raised its hand and struck Lin Ye with a palm.

This palm strike cannot be countered simply by brute force.

The mechanical rules and element arrangement structure it contains are independent and encrypted.

Even if it shares the same structure as a certain martial arts technique, after being encrypted by Buddhist methods, it becomes a more unique technique.

Just like a password, even adding a single letter can increase the difficulty of deciphering it many times over.

Similarly, if one fights solely using physical strength, the outcome will depend solely on the magnitude of the strength, i.e., the difference in elemental advantage.

But it only determines the outcome of one battle. The power of the formation lies in its continuous energy supply.

Ordinary people's energy supply is no match for the formation, and the end result is that they are completely consumed by the formation.

It is commonly known as "exhaustion of strength leads to death."

Once the corresponding architectural pattern can be identified, its weaknesses can be exploited to achieve a decisive victory, or even unleash an effect far exceeding that of equal power.

That golden palm strike was like a mighty river, flowing endlessly, its power even squeezing out the surrounding air instantly, creating a vacuum zone.

Before the palm strike even arrived, a fierce wind arose, and the ground cracked open.

Lin Ye remained calm and pointed a finger.

In an instant, a golden sword beam shot out straight, striking a point in the golden palm print.

boom-!

With just one touch, the golden palm print shattered instantly, exploding inch by inch until the entire golden Buddha phantom was completely destroyed.

"Wow~ So strong!"

When Zhi Shan saw this, his eyes widened in disbelief.

He knew Lin Ye was very strong, terrifyingly strong.

But I never expected Lin Ye to be so extraordinary.

He understood the terrifying nature of that formation better than anyone else.

To put it another way, even if he has already broken through to the Gang Jin level, if he were to trigger the formation, he would still face a near-death experience.

Lin Ye solved it so easily with just a little effort; that's just too monstrous!

However, this was not the end, as a new wave of attacks struck again.

This time, two golden Buddha phantoms attacked from the front and back, their aura even more terrifying.

Lin Ye remained calm and composed, raising his hand and pointing out in the air, his elemental energy shooting out like a laser.

The two golden Buddha phantoms were shattered once again.

But then it turned into four golden Buddha phantoms.

Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

Under his mental scan, he could clearly sense some changes in the elemental formula of the new golden Buddha phantom.

This slight change will lead to a completely different solution. If the previous method is used, not only will it fail to crack the code, but it will also cause a complete collapse.

If it were anyone else, even a master of the Divine Realm who is a third-tier life form, they would still suffer a crushing defeat.

However, for Lin Ye, it was still a minor issue.

Especially since he was an all-attribute ability user, with a slight change in the elements, he snapped four more golden Buddha shadows with a flick of his finger.

Boom boom boom...

From the perspective of Zhi Shan and Xuan Nu in the distance, within the formation, Lin Ye was like a war god, easily blasting away the golden Buddha phantom with every move and every stance.

Those attacks had become utterly worthless in his eyes; they not only couldn't harm him, but they also became mere playthings to accompany him in his game.

Lin Ye's attack speed increased faster and faster, until finally, he even tried to strike before the formation could be activated.

Because his mental calculations are so fast, after several exchanges, he can even calculate the pattern of his opponent's attack sequence, that is, predict the future.

One, two, four, eight...

Finally, when Lin Ye's attack speed completely surpassed that of the formation, a terrifying tremor erupted from the entire mountain.

One by one, those small Buddha statues and stone carvings began to crack open.

Bang bang bang bang bang...

"An earthquake? No, that's not right... it's the formation! He destroyed the formation!"

Zhi Shan's heart was pounding wildly.

Lin Ye once again refreshed his worldview.

Passing through the formation is a significant achievement, already a rare and commendable feat.

Breaking the formation is another level, almost impossible.

Conversely, it caused the formation to collapse, which is absolutely defying the heavens!

Several seconds later, the earth-shaking finally stopped, all the Buddha statues had been shattered into pieces, and dust and smoke rose from the mountaintop.

A gentle breeze, whether intentional or not, quietly blew away all the dust, revealing Lin Ye's figure.

Xuan Nu glanced at Zhi Shan, who immediately understood and came to Lin Ye's side.

"I deeply admire your strength, senior."

"It's okay, I had a lot of fun too."

Since Lin Ye's mental abilities and knowledge have been continuously improving, there are very few things that can make him happy.

Because he is too strong, nothing can match him.

This formation is pretty good as a match-3 puzzle game.

"Play..."

Zhi Shan's face twitched violently involuntarily.

This formation, regardless of strength, is enough to exhaust even experts above the Core Formation and罡劲 levels. It enhances its own combat power entirely based on the opponent's strength.

I never expected that what Lin Ye had here was just a toy.

Whether Lin Ye's strength had completely surpassed that of the formation, or whether he had perfectly deciphered the formation, Zhi Shan could not know.

But no matter which one it is, it's incredible enough.

At this point, he dared not play any more tricks and respectfully invited Lin Ye into the Bodhi Cave.

"Senior, please."

Lin Ye nodded and stepped inside.

Finally, we can witness a glimpse of a secret from an ancient civilization.
