Inside an ancient temple with vermilion walls and turquoise tiles, adorned with golden statues of Buddha.
A young monk bowed his head as he crossed the stone floor, handing a newly received letter to a white-browed monk seated cross-legged beneath the statue.
The monk's physique was robust, his face compassionate.
However, his deeply sunken eye sockets were eerily hollow, the eyes within completely gouged out.
Talihuitai Sorban Khan from Skull Plain seemed to flourish limitlessly.
Yet his success in breaking through the Great Zhou Hanwu Pass was inseparable from the support of many powerful forces behind him, such as the Hundred Buddha Temple, Endless White Tower Temple, and other long-standing, ancient, and mysterious forces nestled between the realms of immortality and the mortal world.
Without sufficient Buddhist connection, ordinary people would have no chance of witnessing the true appearance of these temples.
