Qingfeng Temple.

After slaying the four tower guard monks, Lin Heng retrieved his alchemy furnace and conveniently stored the two golden chains within the system space.

Under the system's grade notes, he was stunned to discover that these two golden chains were both eighth-grade magical artifacts!

It must be said.

The Buddhist sect's foundation is indeed profound.

Jinshan Temple truly lives up to its reputation as a Buddhist Saint Sect.

Counting the four strings of prayer beads before, these tower guard monks came equipped with six eighth-grade magical artifacts.

In the cultivation realm, this setup isn't unbeatable, but it is formidable enough.

The two chains are called Dragon-Entwining Golden Locks.

They do not belong to the offensive or defensive magical artifacts category, and lack lethal methods, but as eighth-grade magical artifacts, they naturally have their unique use.

Just like the eighth-grade glazed beads, when paired with a Buddhist secret spell, they can allow a grandmaster realm cultivator to manifest a Dharma aspect.

The unique use of these Dragon-Entwining Golden Locks is to isolate spiritual power.

For a cultivator ensnared by them, the spiritual power within would be sealed, unable to be mobilized.

If it binds a magical artifact, it can isolate the connection between the user and that artifact!

Of course, these Dragon-Entwining Golden Locks, though eighth-grade, their effect of connection isolation at most works on ninth-grade magical artifacts.

They can't meddle with an immortal artifact.

The reason they were able to bind the foot of the alchemy furnace earlier was solely due to a surprise attack, not clashing head-on with the furnace.

Of course, the main reason is that the Innate Qi Furnace isn't a combat-type immortal artifact.

"Boss."

At this moment, the Black Bear Spirit suddenly spoke, staring intently at Lin Heng with a face full of complex expressions.

"Have you long since mastered the Celestial Spirit Sword Qi?" it couldn't help but ask.

Lin Heng was momentarily stunned, then shook his head, honestly saying: "No, I had never heard of this sword dao divine technique before."

"So... you comprehended it in merely half a day?"

Lin Heng nodded.

He actually wanted to say it didn't even take half a day, just a moment over tea time was enough.

But whether he said it or not no longer mattered.

Because even in half a day, it was enough to impress the Black Bear Spirit for a hundred years.

"I'm convinced."

"This time, I'm truly convinced!"

The Black Bear Spirit was genuinely impressed. As a 500-year-old demon king who had reached the grandmaster realm, its talent within the demon race was already considered extraordinarily dazzling!

In these five hundred years, the geniuses it had seen or heard of were countless.

Yet, those so-called geniuses, when compared to the insane talent of the boss before it.

It could only be described as heaven and earth!

No way around it.

In half a day, he comprehended the Celestial Spirit Sword Qi that others couldn't master in decades or even centuries.

If this talent were spread, the entire cultivation realm would feel deeply ashamed.

The Black Bear Spirit even felt that even Ancestor Wenfeng, who personally created the Celestial Spirit Sword Qi, couldn't compare in talent to the boss!

"If that Cyan Snake were here to see the boss wielding the Celestial Spirit Sword Qi she gave, who knows what expression she'd have?"

The Black Bear Spirit thought amusingly.

And then, the boss suddenly asked a question.

"You should know very well how to get to Jinshan Temple, right?"

"Uh... huh?" The Black Bear Spirit was momentarily stunned, looking at the boss with a puzzled gaze: "Yes, why?"

Lin Heng's lips curled into a slight smile, speaking with a carefree tone:

"The Buddhist sect often troubles my Qingfeng Temple. If I don't repay the visit, wouldn't it make Daoism seem discourteous?"

The Black Bear Spirit was shocked, looking at the boss with an increasingly excited expression on its face.

"Great!"

"I also haven't been to Jinshan Temple to do some business in a while!"

"Let's go, boss, let's go now!"

The Black Bear Spirit was almost impatient.

As for the Buddhist sect, as for Jinshan Temple.

It detested it from the bottom of its heart.

Given any chance, it would find a way to cause trouble at the Buddhist sect.

In truth, after being accepted as the Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast by the boss, it originally thought the days of causing trouble at Jinshan Temple were over.

Never did it expect, that the boss now actually planned to go there voluntarily!

This undeniably aligned with its desires, making it extremely excited.

However...

When its gaze fell on the Daoist temple's back garden, the Black Bear Spirit slightly furrowed its brows: "But boss, if we leave, what about the Spirit Medicine Garden?"

"No worries."

Lin Heng smiled faintly and said:

"Let me lay down an array."

Having said that, Lin Heng took a step, and in the blink of an eye, arrived at the center above White Cliff Mountain, hovering in mid-air.

Then, under the Black Bear Spirit's watchful and curious eyes, he continuously snapped his fingers.

With each flick, one could see strange objects falling towards the mountain's base in all directions.

The Black Bear Spirit squinted to take a closer look, realizing immediately that those were array bases for setting up a formation.

With radiant divine light in his hands, Lin Heng continuously cast down, until a total of one hundred and eight array bases were embedded into the mountain's base or body.

To outsiders, it might seem disorganized.

But in actuality, if someone versed in the power of the stars were here, they would surely discover that each time Lin Heng laid an array base, it coincidentally aligned with the heavenly killing star's trajectory!

Lin Heng's actions were swift, leaving the Black Bear Spirit dazzled.

The boss was already starting to chant the secret spell.

The spell's voice was low, mysterious, and obscure, unclear and incomprehensible.

It only saw a red mist rising from all over White Cliff Mountain.

The mist kept rising, reaching the heavens.

Under the clear sky, the Black Bear Spirit could vaguely see through the celestial clouds the sparkling red light in the starry river, gradually connecting with the red mist ascending to the sky.

A grinding sound, like that of millstone turning, was heard briefly before falling silent.

In an instant, the entire mountain was devoid of the red mist, and the red light in the sky disappeared back into the starry river.

But the Black Bear Spirit unmistakably sensed that a chilling, heaven-imbued murderous aura had descended upon White Cliff Mountain!

"Drip a drop of blood on it."

Lin Heng had somehow appeared in front of the Daoist temple, casually tossing a banner to the Black Bear Spirit.

"All right, alright!"

Well-versed as the Black Bear Spirit was, it understood that this was the array's core. Feeling a surge of excitement, it spat out heart blood, merging it with the banner.

Lin Heng casually embedded the banner into the ground beneath Qingfeng Temple.

In that instant, the Black Bear Spirit envisioned countless powers of the stars descending from the heavens.

Feeling the terrifying overwhelming might within, the Black Bear Spirit couldn't help but murmur in awe:

"Heaven and Earth Killing Star Ten Directions Array..."

"Boss, just how many skills do you possess?"

Lin Heng humbly smiled: "Not many, just a little bit."

"A little bit?"

The Black Bear Spirit twitched at the corners of its mouth.

Comprehending a peerless divine technique in half a day, possessing the ninth-grade shocking pill skill, and now effortlessly deploying a massively potent grand array.

Should this be considered a little bit?

Alright, indeed, just a tiny bit!

"Let's go."

Lin Heng said, his figure flickering, disappearing from White Cliff Mountain.

The Black Bear Spirit followed suit immediately.

One person and one demon, they headed straight towards Jinshan Temple.
