Looking at Qianye Temple from the sky, the largest Buddhist sect in the Northern Shu Continent, has thousands of mountains forming a Buddhist flower.

This Buddha flower is also a huge formation that protects Qianye Temple.

In Chiba Temple, Venerable Hui Jing was sitting in the Buddhist hall. He was not the only Venerable who was awake in Chiba Temple.

He was not the venerable who was awakened by Qianye Temple to guard the temple, but was awakened from his seclusion because of the murder of two of his disciples.

Even though he was deeply involved in Buddhism, he was still deeply saddened by the death of his two disciples. The two great Arhats had been with him for hundreds of years and were highly valued by him.

Therefore, after returning to Qianye Temple, Venerable Hui Jing was unable to immediately concentrate on practicing.

The person who is actually responsible for guarding Qianye Temple is Venerable Huike. Venerable Huike's combat power is not that strong among the Yuanying ancestors, but he has practiced the "A World Away" of the Divine Foot, which makes his movement speed the fastest in the Northern Shu Continent.

Venerable Huike is currently patrolling the sphere of influence of Qianye Temple to prevent foreign Yuanying ancestors from entering the sphere of influence of Qianye Temple.

Venerable Hui Jing was chanting Buddhist scriptures softly. If he did not eliminate the influence of the death of the two great Arhats on him as soon as possible, he might develop mental demons during his long-term retreat.

His mind was empty, and the Buddhist scriptures in his mouth formed a power that brought peace to his soul.

Suddenly he frowned, feeling a little annoyed that he was affected at the critical moment of repairing his mind.

Forcefully suppressing the slight annoyance in his heart once again, he realized that something was indeed wrong with him. With his state of mind, he shouldn't have been easily angered.

He sensed what was affecting his mind and discovered that a strange fire-breathing creature was flying towards Chiba Temple.

Although the object had an aura that was astonishing, it did not have much spiritual power reaction. Instead, it looked somewhat like something created by mortals.

Of course, the flying speed of that object was extremely fast, so fast that the only person in Qianye Temple who could fly at that speed was Venerable Huike.

Venerable Hui Jing withdrew his attention from the outside world. He did not need to care about this situation. If he had to take care of such matters, he would not need to practice anymore.

The main task of a Nascent Soul at the first level in a large sect is to practice. All resources of the sect must be used to supply the Nascent Soul's practice.

Because only when the Nascent Soul is strong enough can the large sects be guaranteed to gain a foothold in the Northern Shu Continent.

Therefore, the Yuanying ancestors occupy the most resources in the major sects, but never interfere in the affairs. However, the cultivators in the major sects never have any complaints, because everyone knows where the major sects can have their current momentum and resources.

Venerable Hui Jing simply focused his mind and reduced the influence of the outside world on his mind.

What he discovered was naturally the rocket launched by Li Yuanba. When the Arhats in Qianye Temple discovered the rocket, the rocket had already reached the vicinity of Qianye Temple.

Although Li Shiming had never seen Qianye Temple's protective formation, he knew some things about it.

This is thanks to the intelligence work done by Tianxing Trading Company. Although the jade slip obtained from the supervisor of the fake infant sealing ceremony was handed over by Li Shiming, as long as he looked at it, it would be recorded by IBMz15.

That jade slip contained some records of the Chiba Temple's protective formation.

For other formation masters, those records are just a glimpse of the whole picture and have little practical significance.

But for Li Shiming, he found a flaw in Qianye Temple's protective formation through the analysis and calculation of his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15.

Moreover, he used this flaw to draw a talisman to break the formation, and the talisman was at the arrow head of the rocket.

Li Shiming used the sonar and camera systems in front of the rocket as his eyes and ears, sharing the view in front of the rocket.

Originally, the energy required by the sonar system alone was not something a rocket could carry, but with the Lingshi motor, this situation changed.

The reason why a sonar system that is relatively different from this world is used instead of traditional array scanning and other means in the world of immortal cultivation is because the sonar system is an unguarded means of detection in the world of immortal cultivation.

The rocket's attack on Chiba Temple was not only an experiment, but also an important data record.

After this incident, the flaws in the Chiba Temple's protective formation will probably be filled by the formation master, and it will be difficult to easily break through the Chiba Temple's protective formation again.

However, with the information about the Chiba Temple formation recorded by the rocket, Li Shiming can obtain more data about the sect protection formation, so that he can break the sect protection formation next time.

The rocket flew to the front of the Chiba Temple's protective formation, and a formation-breaking talisman in the rocket's arrow head was activated, and a hole appeared in the protective formation in front that was big enough for the rocket to enter.

The rocket dived into the Chiba Temple. In Li Shiming's shared vision, he saw the real Chiba Temple, with its huge area and countless Buddhist temples.

He did not choose the center of the Buddha flower, as there must be a powerful existence there. He was just doing an experiment and wanted to teach Qianye Temple a lesson to ease his hatred and avenge his repeated attacks on his clone Li Yuanba.

It's impossible to send a rocket as a gift from a thousand miles away to a powerful being, only for it to easily grab it.

His target of attack was a corner of the huge Buddha flower in Qianye Temple. He didn't know where it was, but there were more Buddhist temples there.

The rocket flew to that place and rushed downwards. While in the air, the three third-grade talismans in the rocket were all activated.

This is the 'Thunder Cloud Talisman' that Li Shiming made using the third-grade materials he had obtained with great difficulty. It's not that he didn't want to make more, but the materials for making third-grade talismans, especially those with thunder attributes, are too scarce.

He couldn't make a large-scale purchase, so he could only purchase these third-grade materials together with other third-grade materials.

Three 'Thunder Cloud Techniques' were activated, and three overlapping thunderclouds suddenly appeared above a corner of the huge Buddha flower.

The thunderclouds gathered at an extremely fast speed, so fast that the thunderclouds had already completed charging while the rocket was still falling.

This is also thanks to the abundant spiritual energy in Qianye Temple. In this environment, the process of absorbing spiritual energy by the "Thunder Cloud Technique" is extremely smooth, which not only shortens the time for spell preparation, but also makes the "Thunder Cloud Technique" more powerful.

With such a loud commotion, several Arhats flew into the air. Just as they flew into the air, the arrowheads of the rockets exploded.

Li Shiming had no intention of letting the rocket physically hit the target. No matter how strong the impact force was, any building in such a large sect had its own formation defense.

Just using physical impact, not to mention the power of the attack, I'm afraid it would be difficult to break even the formation.

The rocket exploded when it was still more than a hundred meters away from the ground building after releasing the "Thunder Cloud Technique" three times.

This explosion did not use any means of cultivation, but rather a thermite bomb.

The 65-kilogram thermite bomb contains nearly two hundred small warheads, each of which is filled with thermite.

Thermite can produce temperatures as high as 2,500 degrees, and one thermite bomb can cover an area of ​​thousands of square meters.

As the explosion occurred, the arrow head and the body of the rocket also exploded. When Li Shiming was making the rocket, he took into consideration that the rocket should not leave any trace after the explosion.

The explosion was triggered by the arrow head, and the special self-destruct pattern in the overall formation pattern of the rocket was triggered, causing the rocket body to turn into countless tiny fragments in the air.

These tiny fragments, together with the thermite from nearly two hundred small warheads of the thermite bomb, simultaneously dispersed and exploded, forming a rain of fire in the air.

Originally, with the power of thermite bombs, it was simply impossible to cause any damage to a large sect like Chiba Temple.

This would be the case even if the rocket broke through the protective formation outside. The formations of the various Buddhist temples were sufficient to protect themselves from being destroyed by such mundane creatures.

But at the beginning, the "Thunder Cloud Technique" broke out, and countless lightning bolts fell from the sky. The speed of lightning was faster than the falling rain of fire, and it hit heavily on everything it passed by below.

The weak Arhat was killed directly without any preparation.

Even Arhat who activated the defensive magic weapon was suppressed by the three "Thunder Cloud Techniques" and could not do anything, let alone help others.

The most terrifying thing about the "Thunder Cloud Technique" is not the attack on the Arhats flying up in this area, but the attack on the Buddhist temple below.

Terrifying lightning struck the formations of the Buddhist temple. These formations could only defend against damage from cultivators in the early Jindan stage. The power of the large-scale attack spells in thunder magic, such as the "Thunder Cloud Technique", was comparable to the attack of cultivators in the late Jindan stage.

Therefore, the magic arrays of the Buddhist temple below were broken one after another, and the continuous thunder and lightning continued to attack.

After losing the protection of the defensive formation, the lightning attacked the living monks as if it had life.

This is actually the instinct of lightning. Every monk is attracting lightning to attack. On the contrary, when it comes to attacking the Buddhist temple itself, the destructive power of "Thunder Cloud Technique" is not that great.

Then fire rained down. No matter what the Buddhist temple was built with, even if it was made entirely of spiritual materials, without the protection of a defensive array, the high temperature of 2500 degrees would instantly ignite the Buddhist temple.

If a place is on fire, the monks here still have ways to put out the fire. Even if they are attacked by the "Thunder Cloud Technique", they will do their best to save the Buddhist temple.

However, within the range of the thermite bomb, there were nearly a thousand fire sources, which made the monks under the attack of the "Thunder Cloud Technique" despair.

Many monks were hit by the aftermath of the "Thunder Cloud Technique". The aftermath of the lightning power was not fatal, but it would make the monks lose their ability to move, and then a tiny spark would fall on their bodies.

This spark is thermite. As long as the monk is not in the Arhat stage, this spark will be a fatal threat if they are unable to resist.

Even the number of monks killed directly by the "Thunder Cloud Technique" was not as many as the number of monks killed by thermite.

A huge Buddha figure appeared in the air, and the Buddha figure reached out to grab the thundercloud, which was actually dispersed directly.

Afterwards, the entire burning area was covered by the energy emitted by the Buddha's shadow, and the flames disappeared instantly. Thermite, which is said to not go out until it is completely burned, became as docile and obedient as a lamb in the face of this power.

Venerable Hui Jing looked at the tragic situation in the temple, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

If he hadn't closed his mind, the temple wouldn't have suffered such a loss.

The monks who died in such tragic ways could not even preserve their complete bodies under the influence of thermite or the "Thunder Cloud Technique".

Although the fire was put out, not much of the burned buildings could be used. Thermite burns too well, and the Buddhist temples are all made of wood. No matter what kind of wood it is, it will be ignited under a high temperature of 2,500 degrees.

A red light flashed in the eyes of Venerable Hui Jing's Dharma image, and a bit of uncontrollable spiritual power swept across the fire area, and the building was damaged again under his terrifying power.

He had been trying to eliminate mental obstacles because of his state of mind problems. If it hadn't been for this attack, perhaps after some time, he would have been able to eliminate his state of mind problems with his powerful Buddhist practice.

But unfortunately, just when he was trying to clear up his mental problems, rockets attacked Chiba Temple.

At first, Venerable Hui Jing had no intention of asking about it, as his mental troubles were more important than anything else. However, when he found that he had to ask about it, he forcibly interrupted the handling of his mental problems, which instead aggravated the impact of his state of mind.

When he took action, he found that because of his late rescue, Chiba Temple had lost at least hundreds of monks, including several Arhats.

His state of mind was once again impacted. One should know that his state of mind had been affected by the death of two disciples, who had been trained by him for hundreds of years and had finally reached the Great Arhat realm and had the potential to become the new Venerable.

After another blow, this mental problem worsened and became a mental demon.

When he first developed his inner demon, he couldn't fully control his own strength, and the slightest instability in his strength led to all the buildings he had just rescued being destroyed by his own hands.

Venerable Hui Jing, who was sitting in the central Buddhist hall, had a face as pale as gold paper and a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth.

There was a flash of red light in his eyes from time to time, which was the inner demon affecting his mind.

Although Buddhist monks are not easily affected by inner demons due to their skills, if inner demons arise, the impact will be more serious than that of other monks.

Venerable Hui Jing took out a fourth-grade elixir and swallowed it to suppress his inner demons. He also cast several spells to transmit messages.

The Dharma image in the air outside has disappeared. If the Dharma image is maintained after the inner demon appears, it will not only cause the previous damage, but the entire Chiba Temple may be destroyed.

"Amitabha!" The sound of Buddhist chanting was heard, and four figures rushed into the Buddhist hall.

These are four Arhats who have studied Buddhism in depth. Their fighting power is not strong among the Arhats, but they practice Buddhist principles and even surpass the Venerable in Buddhist principles.

The research directions of Buddhist practitioners are different. For example, those who practice Dharmakāra protect Buddha with their fighting power. There are also those who, like these four Arhats, specialize in studying Buddhist principles, and their strength level is just a by-product of practicing Buddhist principles.

These four Arhats are the Arhats specially appointed by Chiba Temple to fight against the inner demons, and they are on standby at all times.

In a large sect like Qianye Temple, there are so many Buddhist practitioners that there will always be inner demons among the monks.

Moreover, when the inner demons of a Buddhist practitioner come, they are particularly fierce. One wrong move could lead to disaster, so there are such professional arhats.

Four arhats surrounded Venerable Hui Jing and chanted Buddhist scriptures. As he chanted, golden lotus flowers fell from the sky.

The four arhats all reached the realm of spitting out golden lotus from their mouths. The red light in Venerable Hui Jing's eyes disappeared, he slowly closed his eyes, and tranquility returned to his face.
