In the magic cave, Xue Lian encountered more powerful magic cultivators, but he defeated them again and again with his tenacious will and outstanding strength. In the process of searching for secret techniques, Xue Lian discovered some secrets about magic skills. These secrets made him have a strong interest in magic skills, and he began to study and try to practice magic skills.

As time went by, Xue Lian gradually mastered the secrets of magic skills and combined them with his own skills. His strength was greatly improved, but this powerful force made him fall into a deep contradiction.

On the one hand, he longed to use magic to achieve his goals and pursue the supreme realm. He saw the endless possibilities brought by magic, and the fire of desire for power ignited in his heart. This desire was like a burning flame, driving him to keep moving forward and explore the deeper level of magic.

On the other hand, he was worried that he would become addicted to the magic and lose himself. He knew the dark power of magic and that once he got caught up in it, he might not be able to extricate himself. His conscience kept reminding him that magic was not the right path and that it might lead him to destruction. This worry was like a heavy shackle that bound his mind and made it difficult for him to move forward.

In the end, the dragon-slaying boy eventually became the evil dragon, and Xue Lian was bewildered, becoming a powerful demon cultivator. His heart was filled with pain and struggle, and every time he used magic skills, it was like a battle with his conscience. He knew he was heading for a road of no return, but in order to bring Jiang Yingli back to life, he was willing to pay any price, even if it meant losing himself and being despised by the world.

Rong Rouxue is Xue Lian's master. She has been looking for him since Xue Lian left. She has traveled thousands of miles and experienced countless hardships and obstacles just to find her former disciple. Her heart is full of worry and concern, wondering if Xue Lian is still safe.

Finally, on a cliff, the master and the apprentice met. The moment Rong Rouxue saw Xue Lian, she felt mixed emotions. She saw the magic aura on Xue Lian and knew that he had embarked on a wrong path. Her eyes revealed disappointment and heartache, but more of it was love and worry for Xue Lian.
