On the journey, the cultivators, although mostly unfamiliar with the monks of the Celestial Pearl,

everyone in the cultivation realm knew without a doubt the current leader of Jinshan Temple.

After all, Jinshan Temple is a Buddhist Saint Sect, and Ku Wu, as the abbot of this generation, holds an extraordinary position in the entire cultivation realm.

As soon as he descends the mountain, it naturally draws attention and speculation from countless forces!

"Just as everyone expected, the White Snake has escaped, and Jinshan Temple will certainly not let it go!"

"Looking at their destination, they're definitely heading to Qingfeng Temple on White Cliff Mountain!"

"But surprisingly, even the current abbot of Jinshan Temple is personally stepping in this time?"

"It's really strange; it's said that the current abbot of Jinshan Temple's cultivation is far inferior to previous generations, only at a Grandmaster level, but seeing his powerful aura, his cultivation seems unfathomable!"

"And that old monk beside him, although his aura is restrained, he is sacred and solemn; it's completely unclear what his realm is?"

"Could it be that he is the Elder Celestial Pearl, the strongest among the nine elders of the Celestial Pearl generation under Leifeng Pagoda?"

"It must be him; besides the abbot, there are four accompanying him, including the five Tower Guard Monks who got defeated at Qingfeng Temple before; these four must all be Tower Guardian Elders!"

"This seems like it might lead to a world-shaking battle today?"

"I need to get our ancestor out from closed-door training, lest he misses such a great spectacle!"

"Your ancestor should really thank you..."

In recent days, due to news of the White Snake's appearance and Qingcheng Mountain's disturbances, the entire cultivation realm has become active.

Many people are watching the movements of Qingfeng Temple, Jinshan Temple, and Qingcheng Mountain.

As a consequence, as soon as Ku Wu and others descended the mountain, it stirred a heated discussion in the cultivation realm.

Meanwhile, after receiving the news, the Empire's supreme beings fell into silence, showing displeasure but also helplessness.

In recent days, the Empire sent envoys to the Three Great Saint Sects, discussing the conflict between the Buddhist Dao and the imminent resurrection of Fengdu, expressing hope that the Buddhist Dao would temporarily set aside grudges.

Little Sumeru Mountain and Lingyin Temple didn't have any opinions.

Only Jinshan Temple was vague.

Although the Empire was displeased, they understood that the issue between Jinshan Temple and Qingfeng Temple was irreconcilable.

Upon receiving the definite news of the Jinshan Temple abbot descending the mountain, the Imperial City could only issue orders to Chang City in helplessness.

The order was singular.

Immediately evacuate the residents within fifty miles around White Cliff Mountain!

"Hopefully that Daoist will survive this ordeal..."

In the Empire's highest conference room, a dignified man at the enormous floor-to-ceiling window sighed slightly as he gazed at the gloomy clouds in the sky outside.

...

Simultaneously.

The news of the Jinshan Temple abbot heading straight to Qingfeng Temple quickly reached White Cliff Mountain.

At that moment, there were thousands of demons gathered below White Cliff Mountain.

Upon learning that the abbot of Jinshan Temple, along with four Tower Guard Monks, was on their way, panic erupted at the scene.

"It's over, looking at this stance, they're coming to completely annihilate us!"

"What should we do then?"

"What to do? We should retreat quickly! Do we stay here waiting to die?"

"The bald donkeys of Jinshan Temple, inheriting the means of the Mad Monk Fa Hai, although we have never caused trouble, they won't see it that way; to them, seeing the Demon Race, they must suppress and kill!"

"Moreover, with the feud between Jinshan Temple and Qingfeng Temple reaching this level, even if we're not part of the Demon Race, staying here will still involve us, so if we want to survive, we must leave quickly..."

"Exactly!"

Among the demon race on site, although most have received favors from the Cyan Snake, this time they came to ask the Daoist on the mountain to save them, which was already commendable.

If they had to stake their lives beyond that, it would clearly not be worthwhile.

Therefore, many demons chose to retreat.

However, there were quite a few older Demon King-level beings who, after some hesitation, decided to stay.

"It's well known that Jinshan Temple doesn't distinguish right from wrong; today, this king wants to see if they will forcefully suppress and kill just upon seeing the Demon Race!"

"The Cyan Snake Immortal has recreated my life; losing this life is of no consequence."

"Eight hundred years ago, when Fa Hai suppressed the White Snake, I shrank; this time, I don't want to retreat again."

"Alas, I am maturing; in this lifetime, reaching the Master Realm is hopeless. Even if I leave, it would only be to hide in the deep mountains and forests, lingering on for a few more springs, boring. Better to stay here and see the demeanor of this generation of bald donkeys from Jinshan Temple!"

"Similarly, over the years, many of my younger kin have been suppressed and killed by Jinshan Temple monks; some things can no longer be tolerated!"

These demons come from all over.

Either attracted by the White Snake in early years, now old and fearless of death, thus decided to stay.

Or having benefited from Cyan Snake over the centuries, now just want to repay the favor, disregarding their lives.

Of course, there were also some who were inherently at odds with Jinshan Temple, eager to contend with them.

Thus, though the vast majority of the Demon Race chose to retreat, as many as several hundred demons remained under White Cliff Mountain.

Among them were three Demon King-level Grandmaster Level beings presiding!

The demon aura in the field was indeed overwhelming.

Such a scene left the many cultivators waiting from afar to watch the battle astonished.

Simultaneously, their anticipation for this battle grew stronger.

Of course, more people were curious about Cyan Snake's situation.

...

At that time in Qingfeng Temple.

Lin Heng was in the backyard practicing alchemy.

The Black Bear Spirit followed his instructions, constantly going back and forth between the Spirit Medicine Garden, delivering the needed Spirit Root Treasure Medicine.

The Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in the Spirit Medicine Garden are not one-time items; after being picked, more Treasure Medicine will regenerate, and once mature, they can be picked again.

This is why Lin Heng dared to use such a rare Treasure Medicine as the Earth Nourishing and Connecting Demon Ginseng to help Cyan Snake.

Otherwise, Lin Heng wouldn't have been so generous.

Now that Cyan Snake's life is no longer at risk, White Snake waits beside her for her sister to wake up.

Lin Heng, having leisure and nothing to do, naturally started alchemy.

Now that he is at Grandmaster Level himself, refining Ninth Grade Pills, compared to the first time, he is obviously much more composed.

And as his cultivation increases, he has become increasingly proficient in controlling the Five-Colored Divine Fire within the Pill Furnace.

The quality of the Ninth Grade Elixir within the furnace is notably superior to the first time.

Lin Heng vaguely feels that once he enters the Master Realm, he should be able to start crafting Immortal Pills!

"It seems I need to find some high-realm demons and monsters to enhance my cultivation."

Lin Heng muttered to himself.

Currently, holding the Immortal Sword and Celestial Spirit Sword Qi, dealing with Great Power beings is effortless.

But when facing Foundation Level beings, his confidence wavers.

Strengthening power is indeed crucial!

And as he was alchemy while contemplating, suddenly White Snake's joyful voice echoed from the Quiet Chamber.

"Xiao Qing!!"
