Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer-Chapter 278 - 277: The Daoist Sects Unite at White Cliff Mountain

"Boss, the ancestral statue exploded!!"

The sudden voice echoed throughout White Cliff Mountain.

The tall and burly Black Bear Spirit, dressed in a dazzling kasaya, stood at the Daoist Temple's entrance and lamented.

"The ancestral statue exploded?"

"What do you mean?"

Lin Heng appeared and looked at the Black Bear Spirit with eyes full of confusion.

The Black Bear Spirit pointed towards the Ancestral Hall with a grief-stricken expression that could bring tears to those who looked, saying:

"You better go and see for yourself!"

Lin Heng frowned slightly and entered the Daoist Temple, where he saw the wooden Statue of the Three Pristine Ancestor, all of which had exploded, leaving fragments scattered over the incense table.

"What happened?"

Lin Heng looked at the Black Bear Spirit with some confusion.

The Black Bear Spirit replied bitterly: "I don't know either, it just happened suddenly, and it exploded by itself."

"Exploded by itself?"

Lin Heng's expression was strange as he turned to the scattered fragments and waved his hand over them.

The aura of the Immortal Dao gathered them all up and swiftly returned each to its rightful place.

Light flickered in the meantime.

The Statue of the Three Pristine Ones was restored to its original state.

Lin Heng turned around and picked up three incense sticks, intending to offer them to the ancestors, but just as he turned, he heard a cracking sound.

The Statue of the Three Pristine Ones exploded again.

"How could this happen?"

Lin Heng raised an eyebrow, surprise and doubt appearing in his eyes.

Beside him, the Black Bear Spirit quickly said, "See, Boss, it exploded on its own just now, it really has nothing to do with me!"

Lin Heng's expression turned serious.

With his current level of cultivation, no one could pull off any tricks before him without him knowing.

So it was certain that the ancestral statue did indeed explode on its own.

"Why is it like this?" His expression was complex and puzzled.

The Black Bear Spirit held back his words, then couldn't help but speculate:

"Could it be, Boss, that you have become arrogant recently, and your heart no longer respects the Dao Ancestors, so the ancestors are displeased?"

"Nonsense."

Lin Heng was speechless.

He certainly wouldn't believe such an absurd reason; Daoism emphasized spontaneity and nature, not to mention Lin Heng's unchanging attitude towards the ancestors.

Even if there was indeed some disrespect.

The Three Pristine Dao Ancestors would never express dissatisfaction in this way.

They might not even know there's a Qingfeng Temple in the human world.

"What exactly happened?"

Lin Heng pondered.

But just then, he heard a commotion in the distance and immediately walked out of the Daoist Temple.

The Black Bear Spirit, following closely behind, also noticed some familiar figures in the distant sky.

"It looks like those elders from the Holy Land, probably here to express their gratitude," the Black Bear Spirit said.

Lin Heng nodded and rode a cloud to meet them at the mountain gate.

Only then did they realize that it wasn't just those with deep foundations who had come.

From Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Maoshan, Wudang Mountain, Shushan, and many core Daoists from various sects had all arrived.

"Oh wow, what's this formation?"

The Black Bear Spirit who came along was shocked when he saw the flood of people in the distance.

Yet the foundation figures from Dragon and Tiger Mountain and Maoshan, from a distance, bowed their heads in salute to Lin Heng, saying:

"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Lin's Immortal Pill, we old guys have come uninvited to express our gratitude. We hope we're not disturbing you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Heng returned the courtesy with a smile, saying: "Seniors, your presence brings me joy, not disturbance."

"I wonder, who are these seniors?"

He respectfully addressed some Daoists he had not met before, with a tone of curiosity.

The Daoists returned the gesture, smiling as they introduced their individual sects.

Some were from Lao Mountain, others from Qi Yun Mountain.

Also, there were places such as Zhongnan Mountain and Laojun Mountain.

All were well-known Daoist Holy Lands.

Amidst the pleasantries, everyone couldn't help but look towards White Cliff Mountain, their eyes filled with astonishment.

"I've heard of Fellow Daoist Lin's great name for a long time but never had a chance to visit. I didn't expect White Cliff Mountain to be such a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land!"

"Given its rich fortune, it's no less than any major Holy Land!"

"Speaking of which, where did the rumor come from, saying White Cliff Mountain is desolate? That's nonsense!"

Today, White Cliff Mountain was rich in Spiritual Qi, full of the Spiritual Simurgh Beast, Immortal Light, and colorful clouds, all present.

It was entirely the atmosphere of a Holy Land.

This made all the Daoists amazed continuously.

Especially Master Lian Zhou from Wudang.

"No, Mr. Lin, what's going on with you?"

"Last time the old Daoist came, it wasn't like this at all?"

As he watched the multitude of figures with deep foundations, their eyes silently focused on Master Lian Zhou, no doubt, it was he who spread that White Cliff Mountain was desolate.

Lin Heng explained with a smile: "I found a Fortune Dragon Vein by chance, and I intercepted it here, which brought some changes to this small place."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh repeatedly: "The Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands in the human world have long been divided up, yet Fellow Daoist Lin could still find a Fortune Dragon Vein, which is indeed an extremely deep fortune."

The people with deep foundations exchanged glances and their eyes became more resolute.

Lin Heng finally sensed something: "Seniors, is there perhaps another matter for your visit?"

Master Chao Ling said in a deep tone: "Do you know that today, all the ancestral statues worshipped in the major Dao Fields have successively shattered?"

What?

Upon hearing this, Lin Heng and the Black Bear Spirit couldn't help but look at each other.

"To be honest, the ancestral statue in Qingfeng Temple also exploded today,"

Lin Heng said with a serious expression, "Seniors, what on earth is the reason for this?"

All the ancestral statues in the Daoist Temples shattered.

This is definitely not a good sign!

The people with deep foundations looked at each other, and finally, Master Wenxi from Dragon and Tiger Mountain said in a deep voice:

"This indicates that something has happened to the Dao legacy in the Upper Realm!"

"What?"

Lin Heng's face slightly changed, growing more confused.

Master Wenxi explained solemnly: "You should already be aware of the revival of the Underworld, right?"

Lin Heng replied seriously: "I am aware; I was just planning to discuss this with the major Dao Fields to come up with measures for the future."

"So, the shattering of the ancestral statues is also related to the Underworld?"

"Perhaps, but it probably involves many other forces as well."

Master Wenxi clarified: "Long ago, a thousand years past, the ancestor in the Upper Realm used a secret technique to send a message, stating that the Upper Realm had begun a Journey to the West calamity, during which Buddhism would rise, and Daoism would decline."

"The old Daoist initially thought that the decline of Daoism and the flourishing of the Buddhist Sect in the human world over the past few hundred years was what the ancestor indicated."

"But now it seems, the decline mentioned by the ancestor might refer to the Upper Realm!"

"And perhaps because of this, there have often been Immortal Buddhas reincarnating into the Lower Realm, aiding the Buddhist Sect below."

"In contrast, our Daoist forebears are unable to spare any effort."

"And now that all the ancestral statues have shattered, it seems likely that the Dao legacy in the Upper Realm has been entirely defeated in the Journey to the West calamity..."

The content Master Wenxi spoke of left the Black Bear Spirit completely baffled, with no clue what it meant.

Instead, Lin Heng's expression grew tense. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Do you know what the Journey to the West calamity is?" Though he had some guesses, he didn't dare confirm them.

And what Master Wenxi knew was clearly limited; he hesitated, saying: "It seems to be related to a journey to obtain scriptures in the west."
