As soon as the temple priests learned who had arrived, they opened the path without hesitation.
The royal escort led Lin Mu directly toward the grand entrance.
Tall stone pillars carved with ancient runes lined the temple steps.
Massive statues of the four legendary Guardian Beasts stood watch at the front courtyard.
Azure Dragon.
Vermilion Bird.
White Tiger.
Black Tortoise.
Their stone forms radiated an ancient presence that even ordinary cultivators could feel.
Meng Bai stopped for a moment just to stare.
"Master…"
His voice was filled with awe.
"We're really here."
Lin Mu nodded quietly.
The Temple of the Guardian Beasts stood in solemn majesty beneath the morning sky. The towering stone statues of the four sacred protectors cast long shadows across the courtyard, and the air itself carried the faint scent of incense and ancient wood.
Lin Mu stepped forward calmly.
