As the accounts within the ancestral land unfolded, the Leifeng Pagoda, which stretched across the earth, finally stood upright again. It seemed to have been drawn by some unseen force, and flew toward the ancestral land on its own.
During this process, the Leifeng Pagoda, which pierced the clouds, gradually shrank to about a hundred meters high.
But even at just over a hundred meters high, hanging in mid-air, the aura it emitted still prevented the monks throughout the temple from daring to lift their heads.
Only a few Tower Guard Monks could withstand the pressure, watching the Leifeng Pagoda descend with Buddha Light, enveloping the corpse of Abbot Ku Wu.
The eyes of monks like the Celestial Pearl Monk were filled with complexity.
"We should have thought of this earlier."
"Among the Three Great Saint Sects of the Buddhist Sect, Little Sumeru Mountain has always had an Immortal Artifact in residence."
"After the reincarnation of the Subduing Dragon Arhat into the mortal realm, the Great Sun Subduing Dragon Pestle was also left at Lingyin Temple!"
"And only my Jinshan Temple, for so many years, had merely a single Nine-Turn Golden Bell as the treasure to guard the temple?"
"Although the Nine-Turn Golden Bell is also considered an extraordinary item, rare in the world, for my Jinshan Temple to be one of the Three Great Saint Sects of the Buddhist Sect, it should not be so lacking!"
"Unexpectedly, it turns out that Uncle-Master Fa Hai had long left us a true Immortal Artifact!"
"We, who have devoted our lives to guarding the tower, never knew that what we were guarding was actually the true treasure of the temple?"
"Alas..."
"It seems we are not fated to have a connection with the Leifeng Pagoda after all..."
The Celestial Pearl Monk sighed softly, with a heart mixed with joy and regret.
His three junior disciples were more open-minded.
They understood that even if the abbot hadn't received this great opportunity, the Leifeng Pagoda would never be destined for them.
Compared to the Celestial Pearl Monk's inner regret, the three were more filled with joy that their great revenge could be avenged.
"That person thought that by breaking the Grand Array guarding the tower, the White Snake could roam the world freely from then on."
"Little did they know, the real nightmare is about to begin!"
The Four Pearl Monk sneered, never forgetting the scene where the Nine-Turn Golden Bell in his hand was obliterated by that person with a single sword!
"By the way."
At this moment, the Celestial Pearl Monk suddenly asked in doubt.
"May I ask, Master Ancestor, can Abbot still be resurrected?"
After all, it was he who personally dealt the fatal blow to the Abbot.
Now that the Leifeng Pagoda has descended with Buddha Light, allowing the abbot's body to be bathed within, he noticed that the broken head of the abbot showed no signs of repair.
This made him curious about what form the abbot would take to govern the Leifeng Pagoda?
Fortunately, the presence within the ancestral land responded.
"The dead are gone, how could they be resurrected?"
"He shall cultivate the path of the Ghost Buddha under the Leifeng Pagoda!"
With these words, all the monks present looked at each other in dismay.
The Celestial Pearl Monk was also dumbfounded: "So, the Abbot is going to transform into the Ghost King, and wield our Buddhist Sect's Immortal Artifact?"
"This..."
His expression was complex, and words were on the tip of his tongue but he ultimately withdrew them.
Meanwhile, the entity within the ancestral land seemed to grow impatient, and said:
"Enough, in seven days, he shall take on the body of the Ghost King and command the Leifeng Pagoda."
"With the Immortal Artifact present, the honor and disgrace of Jinshan Temple can naturally be avenged."
"You all, leave the ancestral land immediately."
"Remember!"
"Should today's actions be repeated, do not blame the ancestral land for being ruthless!"
The icy voice echoed in the hearts of every monk, causing all to involuntarily tremble.
"We will remember!"
The Celestial Pearl Monk and other elders hurriedly bowed in response, and then, nearly ten thousand people withdrew from the ancestral land like a receding tide.
Only the Leifeng Pagoda was left, with Buddha Light enveloping the abbot's body.
Upon returning to the Buddhist Hall.
It was now beyond doubt that Jinshan Temple was to be led by the Celestial Pearl Monk.
The Celestial Pearl Monk was also extremely decisive, directly instructing several presiding elders, saying:
"Immediately arrange a team to track the whereabouts of the White Snake after her escape."
"Mobilize the Buddhist Sect across the world to find out the identity of the person assisting the White Snake."
"In seven days, the shame suffered by Jinshan Temple will be resolved together!"
As the Celestial Pearl Monk finished speaking, a presiding elder beside him said in a deep voice:
"Whether the identity of the person aiding the White Snake is found or not is irrelevant."
"Because that damned Black Bear Spirit was with him."
"It's highly likely that he is the master of Qingfeng Temple!"
"And the five Tower Guardian Elders from our temple are probably also victims of his actions."
The master of Qingfeng Temple?
Upon hearing this name, the high monks present all raised their eyebrows.
The Celestial Pearl Monk and others were also momentarily stunned.
"So it was him..."
Last time, the Nine Pearl Monk went down the mountain to hunt the Black Bear Spirit and ended up dead outside Qingfeng Temple.
To avenge him,
The Abbot specifically ordered the four elders of the Leifeng Pagoda to go down the mountain.
Speaking of which, when the life soul lamp wick of the four elders simultaneously extinguished,
they were puzzled.
What kind of Heaven-Reaching means did the master of Qingfeng Temple possess?
Now, as the presiding elder brought it up, those present suddenly realized.
"No wonder several junior brothers fell; it turns out the master of Qingfeng Temple was the one who wielded the Immortal Sword to push our Leifeng Pagoda..."
The Four Pearl Monk squinted his eyes slightly, saying in a chilly tone: "That's perfect, both new and old grievances can be settled at once!"
...
...
On the other side.
White Cliff Mountain.
"How could this be, how could this be?"
"Daoist...my sister, she has no pulse..."
Just after embracing the Cyan Snake and entering Qingfeng Temple, the White Snake suddenly realized that her sister's body rapidly became cold, and at the same time, the faint heartbeat, which had been slow and weak, suddenly came to a halt.
This sudden change turned the White Snake's face pale and sorrowful, her beautiful eyes full of panic.
Lin Heng raised an eyebrow and directly took the Cyan Snake from her arms.
The Cyan Snake's body was already cold, with an exceptionally beautiful face devoid of any vitality.
Without hesitation, Lin Heng channeled the Innate True Qi into the Cyan Snake's limbs and bones.
In an instant, within the Cyan Snake's body, a stream of Buddha Light, sharp as knives and swords, appeared.
Seeing this, the White Snake's face changed dramatically, and the Black Bear Spirit exclaimed instinctively:
"Damn it, after suffering heavy injuries, the Buddha's aura persisted within her body?"
"This...she's from the Demon Race, and the Buddha's aura in a Demon's body is meant to subject her to the torture of death by a thousand cuts?"
"Those baldies, they're way too damn ruthless!"
The Black Bear Spirit couldn't help but gasp.
The Buddhist Sect, much like Daoism, is adept at suppressing demons and ghosts.
Those with low cultivation could be annihilated by a single Buddha Light.
But within the Cyan Snake's body, there existed numerous strands of Buddhist Holy Light, and the Black Bear Spirit could not imagine the excruciating pain of death by a thousand cuts the Cyan Snake endured on her journey here.
"How did she manage to hold on until now?"
"She received a fatal wound, and her body was constantly eroded by Buddha Light; even if you forcibly protected her pulse, her Divine Soul should have already been destroyed, right?"
The Black Bear Spirit looked at the White Snake somewhat puzzled.
The White Snake had no idea of the reason either.
Her mind was filled with thoughts of the suffering her sister endured, causing her heart-wrenching pain, and tears streamed down.
However, Lin Heng said in a deep voice:
"It is the Innate True Qi."
"The body of the Demon Race is difficult to resist the Buddhist Holy Light, but the Innate True Qi can."
The Black Bear Spirit was taken aback for a moment, only realizing afterward: "Yes, yes, she knows the Qi Body Origin Flow!"
