At that time, Jinshan Temple was already engulfed in battle.

The Cyan Snake severed a river and, with heaven-reaching magical power, flooded Jinshan Temple.

In an instant, Jinshan Temple was like a raging flood, drowning the entire domain of the Saint Sect, leaving it in ruins.

All the monks gathered at the mountain gate, setting up the Celestial Net Array, fully exerting themselves to stop the overwhelming flood.

The Cyan Snake ignored them, instead charging straight towards that towering Leifeng Pagoda.

...

"Weren't we going to Jinshan Temple? How did we end up in such a wilderness?"

Over here, Lin Heng and the Black Bear Spirit, in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, had already traversed a thousand-mile territory, reaching a desolate ancient forest devoid of human presence.

Looking at this scene resembling an ancient forest, Lin Heng couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Because according to what he knew, Jinshan Temple should be in the West Lake area.

"This is the place for entering the Inner Heaven and Earth of Jinshan Temple."

The Black Bear Spirit said, its steps already slow, walking in a manner Lin Heng couldn't understand, moving east and west, sometimes near and sometimes far.

"Inner Heaven and Earth? What does that mean?" Lin Heng frowned, expressing confusion.

"Ah? Boss, you don't even know about Inner Heaven and Earth?"

The Black Bear Spirit showed surprise but remembered that the boss had previously asked about the cultivation realms beyond the Grandmaster Realm, so it was not surprising.

It explained: "Inner Heaven and Earth is a place opened up by Great Cultivators with heaven-reaching cultivation, unseen in the mortal world."

"Initially, it might have been for reclusive cultivation or to avoid strong enemies."

"But as it developed, it gradually became a cultivation sect unseen in the mortal world."

"Within that Inner Heaven and Earth, it contains the rules of its opening and the Dao rhyme of the opener."

"Later generations can cultivate in there, and perceive the Dao rhymes left by the opener. Moreover, during times when spiritual Qi is generally exhausted, Inner Heaven and Earth usually retains endlessly abundant spiritual Qi."

"Cultivating inside is far more efficient than cultivating outside."

"Places like Daoism's Five Great Holy Lands and Buddhism's Three Great Saint Sects, those left in the mortal world are merely tourist attractions."

"True cultivators of Dragon and Tiger Mountain Jinshan Temple, they cultivate in the Inner Heaven and Earth. Without the Dharma gate, even if one stands before the Inner Heaven and Earth, there is no way to enter."

"Just like now, what seems to be a wilderness in front of me, actually stepping out is a whole new world, that is the true Buddhist Saint Sect, Jinshan Temple!"

Lin Heng, after hearing the Black Bear Spirit's explanation, exclaimed in amazement:

"So there's such a concept."

"No wonder in the eyes of mortals, Dragon and Tiger Mountain Wudang Mountain, rarely have real masters; turns out true Great Cultivators are within the Inner Heaven and Earth..."

Lin Heng said, "Then how do I enter?"

The Black Bear Spirit chuckled: "Boss, just follow my steps!"

Saying this, it began to walk east and west, sometimes near and sometimes far again.

Lin Heng followed step by step.

After about half an incense's time, he suddenly felt an invisible barrier before his eyes.

The Black Bear Spirit then pulled him, diving headlong into the invisible barrier.

Instantly, the previous wilderness disappeared without a trace.

Ahead appeared towering ancient trees reaching the sky.

Lin Heng was shocked, looking up to the sky.

Spiritual Simurgh cranes spread their wings in the vast sky, emitting cries.

Lin Heng's gaze fell into the far distance, where towering gigantic peaks pierced the clouds, with no end in sight.

"Boss, how does it feel?"

The Black Bear Spirit asked with a smile.

Lin Heng closed his eyes and opened them again, marveling: "The spiritual Qi here is incredibly abundant."

"Compared to this place, my White Cliff Mountain, no wonder it's scorned as a poor spot by the baldies of the Buddhist Sect."

This time, Lin Heng truly gained insight.

He had thought cultivators were merely recluses in the deep mountains and forests.

Unexpectedly, true powerful cultivation forces had such hidden realms in the world.

Boom!!

Just as Lin Heng was marveling, a loud noise suddenly came from afar.

Lin Heng frowned, and along with the Black Bear Spirit, jumped into the sky, looking into the distance, they saw the vast waters pouring into a magnificent and grand Great Buddha Hall.

Meanwhile, within a heaven-reaching ancient pagoda piercing the clouds.

They saw the figure of the Cyan Snake.

The Cyan Snake, like a Divine Lady, waved her hand, causing tidal waves.

"That's Leifeng Pagoda!"

The Black Bear Spirit said gravely.

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes.

Soon they heard a rumbling shout from Leifeng Pagoda.

"Demon beast, today you'll surely die and your Dao dissipate!"

As the words fell, boundless Buddha Light radiated from under Leifeng Pagoda, a massive Swastika Seal flew out, carrying a terrifying oppressive force, striving to suppress the Cyan Snake.

"Baldy, don't be arrogant!"

The Cyan Snake coldly retorted, waving a blue light like a galaxy ribbon, colliding with the golden Swastika Seal.

Such immense force caused several mountains, each thousands of feet tall, to crumble on the spot.

Violent sand and huge rocks rained from the sky, creating hundred-meter-deep pits.

"Goodness, only four Tower Guard Monks left, yet they can still unleash such divine power?"

"Damn it, Jinshan Temple's baldies are truly not to be underestimated."

After cursing, the Black Bear Spirit spoke to Lin Heng:

"Boss, while they fight, shall we begin?"

Lin Heng grinned: "Let's go!"

With that.

One person and one demon used magic to conceal their presence, then transformed into streams of light, sneaking towards the distant Buddhist halls.

At that time, the monks of Jinshan Temple were mostly focused on forming arrays to resist the flood.

No one noticed that a person and a demon had already infiltrated the Buddhist halls behind them.

"Let's start with the Scripture Pavilion!"

Looking at the towering and sacred pavilion ahead, the Black Bear Spirit boldly charged in, unexpectedly finding an old bald monk still guarding there.

Upon seeing the familiar Black Bear Spirit, the old monk was visibly dumbfounded for a moment, then horrified, about to shout.

But before he could, Lin Heng used Near and Far, stepping forward to give him a slap.

The old monk, merely at the Grandmaster Realm, flew hundreds of feet away under Lin Heng's slap, eyes closing, life or death uncertain.

Lin Heng's decisive action stunned the Black Bear Spirit, who always advocated stealth and retreat upon seeing people.

"Boss, killing and looting, you're more experienced than me?"

The Black Bear Spirit blurted.

Lin Heng's lips twitched, slightly embarrassed, he said: "Stop speaking nonsense!"

"I belong to the Righteous Dao, this action is merely to prevent larger conflicts and unnecessary casualties!"

"Really?" The Black Bear Spirit eyed teasingly.

Seeing this, Lin Heng, annoyed, gave it a slap: "What really? Time is tight, let's move quickly!"

With that, he kicked open the Scripture Pavilion, saying: "No matter what, even if it's a stool, empty it out!"

"Huh?" The Black Bear Spirit was dumbfounded.
