The news of Jinshan Temple's defeat quickly swept through the entire cultivation realm.

When it was revealed that all the Tower Guardian Elders of Jinshan Temple, along with the contemporary Abbot Ku Wu, had tragically fallen at Qingfeng Temple, countless prominent figures were left utterly stunned.

"Who could have imagined that even with the Great Power Realm Celestial Pearl Monk involved, Jinshan Temple would still face complete annihilation?"

"Bai Suzhen truly deserves her thousand-year-old reputation as a Fairy and unparalleled Demon King. Even if her cultivation has declined, she is not someone ordinary great powers can provoke."

"It's unimaginable how Fa Hai managed to suppress Bai Suzhen with such ease back then."

Many marveled, increasingly understanding why those from that era who were still alive showed such reverence whenever Fa Hai was mentioned.

Now it seems, with Bai Suzhen being this terrifying, it's indeed reasonable that Fa Hai was feared worldwide.

"However, more shocking than Bai Suzhen is the Observatory Master of Qingfeng Temple."

"After all, Bai Suzhen has been renowned for her might since a thousand years ago, and everyone knows of her power. But this Observatory Master of Qingfeng Temple, who is he really?"

"Defeating Jinshan Temple's Grandmaster is one thing, but now, he even took down the contemporary Abbot Ku Wu, who wielded the Immortal Tower and was nearing the Great Power Realm. Isn't this too unbelievable?"

"A previously unheard-of character not only possessing the secret teachings of various Daoist Holy Lands but is also possibly the only Ninth Grade Alchemist in existence today. What's more, he actually has Immortal Artifacts in his possession—two of them!"

"With such a foundation, even the Five Great Daoist Sacred Lands might pale in comparison. It's truly a mystery who his master is."

Many people wondered about this, which became one of the most discussed topics after Qingfeng Temple shocked the cultivation realm.

"It's said his master is an old Daoist named Master Qingxu from the local area, but... there's no record of such a person before?"

"Master Qingxu? Indeed, I've never heard of him, but since he dares to bear the title 'Master,' he must be an extraordinarily powerful figure!"

"After all, the last Daoist to bear the title 'Master' traces back to that old Daoist six hundred years ago!"

"Who?"

"Wudang, Master Zhang!"

...

Five days passed in a blink.

The discussions about Jinshan Temple's defeat at Qingfeng Temple gradually subsided, replaced by another event that rocked the entire cultivation realm.

Qingcheng Mountain has been destroyed.

Truly destroyed!

Now, Qingcheng Mountain has officially been renamed Black Mountain!

The once long-standing righteous aura surrounding the mountains has now been overshadowed by a terrifying demonic ghost aura that reaches the heavens and earth. The almost shattered Inner Heaven and Earth of Qingcheng Mountain now presents a desolate and eerie scene to the world.

Not a single Daoist can be seen there now.

They are all dead.

All the Daoists of Qingcheng Mountain died in battle, along with their foundations.

Today, Qingcheng Mountain has become the domain of the Black Mountain Demon, with countless demon ghosts under its command, shaking the world.

It was only at this time.

The entire cultivation realm realized that under Qingcheng Mountain, a shocking demon had been suppressed all along.

According to some ancient records, it was originally a Black Mountain. Located at the boundary between Fengdu Ghost City and the Human World, it was nurtured by the yin energy all day long, gradually developing intelligence over time, ultimately cultivating into a terrifying existence!

Later, it caused chaos and harmed countless people.

This enraged the Daoist Sect of that era.

Daoists from Qingcheng Mountain descended, joining forces with a warlock surnamed Yan from Kunlun Mountain. After a fierce and devastating battle, they finally managed to suppress the Black Mountain Demon!

Yet, after more than a thousand years, it still broke through the Daoist seal.

In the end, Qingcheng Mountain bore the consequences.

"So, are we witnessing history?"

"A Daoist Holy Land, just like that, has perished in this era. This..."

Many people were filled with mixed emotions.

Even more were anxious and worried.

"So, the sealing of the Five Great Daoist Sacred Lands was indeed due to the demons suppressed within, causing chaos. This has been confirmed!"

"In that case, with the fall of Qingcheng Mountain, what about the other four sacred lands now?"

"And Shushan, the Demon-locking Tower of Shushan, is suppressing countless demons. If something happens to Shushan, wouldn't the human world fall into chaos?"

Many cultivators were concerned.

The fall of Qingcheng Mountain is undoubtedly a sign that chaos is about to descend, causing the entire Righteous Dao to worry and feel uneasy.

But it also allowed many evil demons to seize the opportunity to become active again.

Numerous demons have already started heading to the ruins of Qingcheng Mountain, pledging allegiance to the Black Mountain Demon!

The demons under the Black Mountain Demon thereby gained a rough understanding of the current situation.

This naturally included the recent emergence of the White Snake.

In the Demon Hall.

A demon appeared contemplative.

"If I remember correctly, doesn't she have an excellent Cauldron sister?"

It was one of the six Demon Venerables under the Black Mountain Demon, known as the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch.

"Yes, her sister is the Cyan Snake Immortal, born a Cauldron. It was said that eight hundred years ago, even Fa Hai had a brief thought about her."

A demon who had pledged allegiance flattered in response.

"Fa Hai?"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch shook its head, "Never heard of him."

It was suppressed over a thousand years ago alongside the Black Mountain Demon and was unaware of the subsequent Fa Hai.

As for the Cyan and White Snakes, it had heard of them.

Back then, the Cyan and White Snakes had not yet gained the Dao.

"So, the Cyan Snake is now in a Daoist temple?"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch contemplated, while its assistant said in a deep voice, "Demon Monarch, if you intend to capture her, I can leave immediately."

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch glanced at its assistant and, after a brief consideration, said, "In this instance, we have not fully recovered from our injuries, especially Lord Black Mountain. It would indeed be appropriate to present a Top Grade Cauldron to help Lord Black Mountain regain his vitality."

"However..."

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch glanced at the demons who had pledged allegiance and said, "As you've heard, that Qingfeng Temple has some capabilities, so if you go, avoid conflict."

"Explain the situation clearly. If you can persuade them, that would be ideal. If not, return directly."

"I will go personally another day to capture her."

Assistant Blood-Eyed Wolf King nodded, "Don't worry, Demon Monarch. I will be cautious and, if a conflict truly arises, my Great Power Realm is nothing to fear from them."

As a demon from a thousand years ago, it harbored some disdain for the present-day Daoists.

Regarding this, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch said solemnly, "As I said before, this time, you are the emissary. Speak kindly and advise."

The Blood-Eyed Wolf King nodded, "I understand!"

Afterward, it made some preparations and then sent some demons to lead the way to Qingfeng Temple.

Meanwhile, in Qingfeng Temple under the sparse moonlit sky,

Lin Heng was lying in the Quiet Chamber, pondering where to enhance his strength.
