Back then, Jiangli received punishnt and entered the mortal world to cultivate her Dao heart within Xuann. She changed her na and beca a disciple under Celestial Master Zhang, later founding Jiaoyang Temple and becoming its Abbot.
Subsequently, Tianxuan beca a disciple under Jiangli, and together they cultivated their Dao hearts, often venturing out to travel and saving people along the way.
In the beginning, everything was well, and Jiangli’s rits grew increasingly profound.
Tianxuan felt that, at that ti, the venerable ancestor beca more tranquil, showing no signs of losing control.
However, barely two hundred years after Jiaoyang Temple’s establishnt, trouble arose.
There were many similarities to the current situation.
A significant number of Xuann disciples went missing, their fates unknown.
Other mbers of Xuann sought assistance from Jiangli.
Upon learning the news, Jiangli set out with Tianxuan to investigate and traced the path to Mangshan, discovering that remnants of the Black Demon, believing Jiangli had perished over the centuries, planned to sacrifice Xuann disciples to break the formation and release the Black Demon, rekindling chaos.
Naturally, Jiangli and Tianxuan could not allow them to indulge in their plans.
Yet the Black Demon was released, and the dragon vein was destroyed by their followers.
Jiangli only had ti to peel off half of her Spiritual Bone and reseal the Black Demon.
But she did not have ti to restore the dragon vein.
Tianxuan, unwilling for Jiangli to strip her Spiritual Bone further, chose to renew the dragon vein himself.
However, given his power, half of the Spiritual Bone was insufficient; he could only strip off his entire Spiritual Bone at the cost of his soul’s dispersal to renew the dragon vein.
At that ti, his soul lingered over Mangshan, gradually dissipating.
He looked at the blood-covered Jiangli, longing to help but unable to, and in the fleeting mont of remaining consciousness, he saw Ying Ming hastily open the formation gate.
Ying Ming expended considerable divine power to retain one soul and one spirit of him, then worked with Jiangli to reseal the Black Demon.
Afterward, Tianxuan was sent by Ying Ming to Fengdu, to enter reincarnation once more.
The events that followed were known only to Ying Ming, who was Fu Shiyan.
Fu Shiyan actually did not fully know how Jiangli spent the later eight hundred years.
At that ti, severely injured, he barely managed to return Jiangli to Jiaoyang Temple before entering reincarnation to heal.
When he returned, Jiangli was missing, and the people from Jiaoyang Temple had disappeared as well.
No one knew where Jiangli was.
So he sought Qing Yue’s sister for divination.
Thinking of this, Fu Shiyan gently touched the back of Jiangli’s neck and softly asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Jiangli nodded in his embrace, her hair brushing against his chest and abdon.
Soon after, she raised her head and said, "I’m fine now."
She took a deep breath, "The real concern is not , but where Qu Lin is. With all his sches against , arranging such a grand sche, what exactly does he want to accomplish?"
Upon hearing this, Tianxuan cautiously spoke, "In fact, I rember Qu Lin’s appearance; eight hundred years ago, my sister and I saw him once."
Jiangli looked at him, "What?"
Tianxuan gazed into Jiangli’s eyes, "Eight hundred years ago at Mangshan, he was among the Black Demon remnants. When my sister endeavored to seal the Black Demon, so remnants fled in desperation, and if my mory serves, Qu Lin was one of them."
He had not seen Qu Lin, but Xia Xin had.
Now that his soul had returned, he carried Xia Xin’s mories as well.
He recalled Qu Lin’s appearance, with high certainty.
Jiangli’s brows furrowed deeply, "So, is he attempting to release the Black Demon again through this?"
Fu Shiyan nodded slightly, "It is not out of the realm of possibility."
Jiangli narrowed her eyes, "No wonder he needs the Heavenly Splitting Hairpin."
Tianxuan hesitantly asked, "What is the Heavenly Splitting Hairpin?"
