I'd never heard of the Celestial Master Seal and the True One Altar having similar functions before?

After his initial exhilaration, Lei Jun quickly calmed down and pondered this. Master Yuan Mobai had never mentioned anything related either. After careful thought, Lei Jun suspected it might be related to the current special state between himself and the Celestial Master Seal. The Celestial Master Seal itself had temporarily fallen silent due to damage and entanglement with external forces. Now, it was intimately merged with Lei Jun's Spiritual Soul, buried deep within it.

As far as Lei Jun knew, such a state had not occurred historically; it was a novel situation arising from a fortunate coincidence. In light of this, the True One Altar Cave Heaven might also have undergone slight changes. This might be the origin of the so-called new functionality.

Lei Jun then observed carefully and found no harm to his own Spiritual Soul or Mana. Neither the Celestial Master Seal nor the True One Altar showed any signs of further damage. This allowed him to set his mind at ease once more.

Of course, while it was good that the Altar could repair incomplete pill formulas, it wasn't without cost. Lei Jun noticed that after the blue flames condensed into scriptures and repaired a pill formula for a while, they would halt again. Only after Lei Jun drew more candlelight from the Buddha Treasure Candlestick to the Altar, fueling the Nine Abyss Earth Fire, did the repair process continue.

Well, everything is fine, just a bit costly in terms of candlesticks... Lei Jun thought to himself.

Although untested, Lei Jun guessed that repairing other incomplete pill formulas would likely require a similar payment.

But what if the pill formula was severely incomplete, with only a few words remaining? Could it still be repaired?

Was a certain base of the incomplete formula necessary?

Or, as long as the "fuel" provided for the Nine Abyss Earth Fire was valuable enough, could it brute-force the repairs?

Lei Jun was curious, but he suppressed the impulse for the moment, planning to make further attempts after returning to Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Having discovered this new functionality of the True One Altar's first layer, a certain Taibai Metal Scepter began to think about the incomplete Heavenly Primordial Qingjing Pill formula previously mentioned by the Age Star Muyao. However, since this pill formula originated from the Celestial Master Mansion itself, focusing on it would make his interest too obvious. While there was truth in the tactic of appearing weak when strong, and strong when weak, it was still disadvantageous for keeping his identity secret.

There's no rush. I'll wait for the right opportunity... Lei Jun made up his mind.

His consciousness temporarily exited the True One Altar Cave Heaven.

After securing the candlestick, Lei Jun continued to concentrate on his own practice. The Buddha Treasure had nothing to do with his current cultivation. His main focus was still to continue refining the Great Five Elements Creation Qi and, in this process, cultivate his own five organs, five elements, and five qi to establish his Tao Palace.

The Buddhist Monk had not reappeared around Xianliu Mountain. However, according to Celestial Master Mansion disciples traveling to and from the outside world, Buddhist disciples had once again been sighted near Great Qing Peak. Yet, no rumors had emerged from Yongxiang Monk's side.

Instead, the turmoil caused by the White Lotus Sect was gradually subsiding. The chaos in Huai Mountain, due to some internal changes within the White Lotus Sect, subsided more quickly than many had anticipated.

Conversely, the great battle between Xinzhou's Dragon Tiger Mountain and the Jiangzhou Lin Clan had reached its most crucial moment. Above Poyang Daze, an earth-shattering battle changed the weather and rerouted Spirit Veins. Although Lei Jun and others were on the periphery, their attention was also fixed on Poyang Daze, anxiously awaiting news.

"Hmm?"

One day, Lei Jun felt a slight stir in his heart and took out a Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman. Besides communication from the Ancestral Court of Dragon Tiger Mountain, he also had another news channel originating from Master Yuan Mobai. However, Yuan Mobai rarely initiated contact. Today, however, it finally showed activity.

Lei Jun activated the Spirit Talisman.

The message startled him considerably, leaving him speechless for a moment.

The Jiangzhou Lin Clan, led by their new Clan Chief Lin Che, along with no fewer than three Great Scholars of the Eightfold Heaven Realm, had joined the battle of Poyang Daze. Even more striking was their unexpected use of an ancient Confucian grand ritual in this battle. Rituals represented the pinnacle of the Confucian Sect's heritage, and ancient grand rituals, in particular, were rarely seen in the present age. It wasn't surprising that the Jiangzhou Lin Clan, a great noble family founded on Confucian Studies, possessed such methods. The unexpected part was that the grand ritual Lin Che and his peers performed did not originate from the Jiangzhou Lin Clan but from the Youzhou Forest Clan.

Among the Five Clans and Seven Families, the two Lin branches were originally from the same source. The Jiangzhou Lin Clan descended from a branch of the Youzhou Forest Clan that had migrated south across the river many years prior. However, after the split, relations between the two branches were not harmonious; they could even be described as hostile. Among the seven great Noble Clans and Renowned Families, the two Lin branches were the most estranged, even antagonistic, with each denouncing the other as a splinter sect.

This time, however, the Jiangzhou Lin Clan unexpectedly performed the grand ritual of the Youzhou Forest Clan. In a way, this was also the oldest and most core ritual of the entire Lin Clan. Its power was immense and caught their enemies off guard.

And the target was focused solely on one person: Xu Yuanzhen!

He was not only recognized as the Celestial Master Mansion's current top expert but was also the one who had assassinated Lin Zhen, thereby igniting this great war.

The Jiangzhou Lin Clan hadn't chosen to weaken their enemy by first targeting its weaker members. After long, silent preparations, their first move was stunning, aimed directly at the Celestial Master Mansion's current strongest point.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, they hadn't intended to seek a minor victory just to regain face or find a graceful way to de-escalate. They were aiming for a major, decisive win!

Lin Che, the new Clan Chief of the Lin Clan, in his first major crisis since assuming leadership, had chosen to pursue an overwhelming victory!
