At dawn, White Cliff Mountain was shrouded in a light mist, dotted with lush greenery, against the backdrop of the pale light stretching from the horizon.

From a distance, it looked remarkably like a slowly unfurling landscape ink painting.

At that moment within the Daoist Temple.

With a breath of turbid air, Lin Heng slowly opened his eyes. After a flash of brilliance in them, it was replaced by an unfathomable depth, an elusive mystery.

In a Daoist Robe, Lin Heng's aura remained ethereal.

Yet his presence became increasingly restrained, making it difficult for others to discern his true nature.

"Boss, you... you... you've taken that step?"

In the Spirit Medicine Garden, the Black Bear Spirit, sensing Lin Heng's arrival, hurriedly stood and greeted him with flattering words.

But upon feeling Lin Heng's unfathomable aura, its eyes immediately changed.

Frowning, it looked carefully again.

To its surprise, it found itself unable to perceive the boss's realm anymore!

This sparked an incredible speculation in the mind of the Black Bear Spirit!

"It went well, barely broke through."

Lin Heng smiled faintly, not hiding anything.

Just as the Black Bear Spirit had speculated.

With the help of a Ninth Grade Spirit Pill, Lin Heng directly broke through the Grandmaster stage, stepping into the Grandmaster Realm like the Black Bear Spirit!

At the same realm.

The Black Bear Spirit naturally couldn't easily discern Lin Heng's realm anymore.

"Hiss..."

"It's truly unbelievable!"

"In just a few days, boss, you've transformed directly from the early stage of Grandmaster to a being in the Grandmaster Realm."

"You should know that back then, it took me a full hundred years to take this step..."

"This elixir is truly amazing!"

The Black Bear Spirit's eyes were full of envy.

Only those who have crossed the chasm into the Grandmaster realm know how difficult it is to break through from Grandmaster to Grandmaster Realm.

Yet the boss only took one night to take this step that countless cultivators find unattainable.

The Black Bear Spirit's feelings were beyond words.

"No need to be envious."

"Now that you're following this poor Daoist, you will have access to the elixirs you deserve."

Lin Heng said with a smile.

He now found it quite interesting to paint a promising picture for his followers.

Just like this Black Bear Spirit.

Upon hearing this, it was so moved that its eyes turned red, almost wanting to kowtow to him on the spot.

But at this moment.

The four breaths coming from a distant direction caused the Black Bear Spirit to raise an eyebrow and look far into the distance.

Lin Heng remained calm.

His eyes were deep as still water, looking toward the distance indifferently.

"Is it them?" the Black Bear Spirit frowned slightly.

In its sight, there were four familiar figures.

"The ones who delayed you yesterday, could they be these four?"

Lin Heng asked with a smile.

"That's right."

The Black Bear Spirit nodded and then said:

"Seems like they're really coming for me, boss, you take a rest, I'll go deal with them."

"Damn it, the Buddhist Sect really underestimates this bear, sending four tortoises to tangle with me?"

"Do they really think I can't smash their shells?"

Grumbling, the Black Bear Spirit stirred up a demonic wind, about to leave the mountain to deal with those baldies.

However, Lin Heng shook his head and said, "They probably aren't coming for you."

"Most likely."

"They're coming for this poor Daoist."

The Black Bear Spirit was stunned, "Ah?"

"Are they crazy? Daring to mess with you, boss, isn't that like holding a lantern in the toilet, looking for shit?"

Lin Heng's mouth twitched slightly, why did this phrase sound so strange?

"Enough of that."

"No matter what they're here for, we'll know once they're here."

"You just guard the Spirit Medicine Garden honestly."

Lin Heng said.

Now that he had stepped into the Grandmaster Realm, he could already see through the four's aura with a glance.

All four were merely at the early stage of Grandmaster.

If they were merely passing by, naturally there would be no issue.

But if they were here looking for trouble?

Lin Heng's lips curled into a cold smile.

He could only say.

If friends come from afar, though far, they must be vanquished!

...

At that moment.

The appearance of the Four Great Vajra Monks had already attracted millions of online viewers.

Besides these, numerous media reporters who constantly followed their movements were already on their way to White Cliff Mountain.

And apart from these ordinary people.

Hidden in the shadows.

There were also many people from the Cultivation Realm gathered, including many from the Demon Race.

In contrast to ordinary people's ignorance.

Without exception, they hid far away, watching from a distance.

"If I remember correctly, the last time these Four Great Vajra Monks entered the world was twenty years ago."

"Rumor has it, back then, they had already achieved Great Success in the Profound Communication Realm."

"After twenty years of seclusion, their aura is even more terrifying now."

"It seems, they are now all living Divine Monks in the Grandmaster Realm!"

"By the way, who exactly is that Daoist? How could he provoke the Great Brightness Temple to such an extent, directly sending these four guys down the mountain, aren't they afraid of touching Daoism's bottom line?"

"And what if they touch it? From what I know, Daoism's Holy Land can't even handle their own issues, how can they manage external affairs?"

"Indeed, if they really had the capacity to shield Daoist Sects, the Way of Daoism wouldn't have declined to this point over the years!"

"Speaking of which, that Daoist on White Cliff Mountain has actually somewhat rejuvenated Daoism's reputation lately."

"It's just a pity, as the saying goes, the tallest tree in the forest is cut down first, especially when all the Daoist experts are tied up, offending the Buddhist Sect to such an extent, today might truly be his day of doom!"

"With four Grandmasters arriving together, no matter how skilled that Daoist is, death seems inevitable."

"Alas..."

Many in the Cultivation Realm sighed silently.

Honestly, they felt a sense of sympathy for that Daoist.

The Buddhist Sect's influence has been too vast in recent years, and it's not just Daoism that has been squeezed, many others in the Cultivation Realm have suffered under the Buddhist Sect as well!

If there was a chance, they all hoped Daoism could rise up and suppress the Buddhist Sect's arrogance.

But this hope seems to be a pipe dream.

By that time, the Four Great Vajra Monks had already reached the foot of White Cliff Mountain.

They stood side by side, in ornate Dunhuang-style robes, under which flexed muscles shone with a golden luster.

Their eyes gleamed with divine light, and they scanned the small Daoist Temple on the mountain along with the young Daoist standing at its entrance, taking it all in.

"Is it this person?"

The Four Great Vajra Monks wore impassive expressions, with unabashed contempt and indifference in the depths of their eyes.

However, considering they were under public scrutiny.

The four did not rudely force their way in; they merely spoke aloud.

"Vajra Monks of the Buddhist Sect, here to visit the mountain!"

Their voices, amplified by their immense spiritual power, resounded like the roar of tigers and the peal of thunder.

The sound rumbled and echoed across White Cliff Mountain.

From the mountain.

A response laden with overwhelming majesty echoed back.

"State your business, or leave."

"This mountain is sealed, any trespasser shall die!"
