“Nie Xiangwan, you have an obsession in your heart, and your inner demons are hard to get rid of. In the end, you will not be able to achieve the Great Dao.”

"Feng Qing, do you think I wanted this? My entire Nie family was slaughtered by the Yi Jing Sect, so why would you still join them? We were childhood sweethearts, and the Feng and Nie families have been friends for generations. Why would you betray me?"

"The Yijing Sect is a legitimate lineage of immortals; they would never do something like wiping out an entire family. You must be seeing things, being manipulated by villains to harbor such hatred towards the Yijing Sect. Listen to me, let go of your obsession, and come with me to the Yijing Sect. We can support each other and work together..."

"You're dreaming! To associate with your enemy, Feng Qing, our friendship is severed from this day forward!"

"Nie Xiangwan, you've gone mad!"

"I'm not crazy, you're the one who's crazy. It's laughable that I thought our vows would never change. I am irreconcilably opposed to the Yijing Sect, and you, from this day forward, are my enemy!"

"Nie Xiangwan, can't you wake up? If it really was the work of the Yijing Sect, why not eliminate them completely? The Yijing Sect is now recruiting disciples widely. With our qualifications, what difficulty would it be for us to become entry-level disciples? Why are you so stubborn?"

"Feng Qing, never let me see you again. Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"

Surrounded by raging purple flames, Xiang Wan's forehead was pressed against Feng Jiutian's.

This is the scene that flashed through Feng Jiutian's mind after the seal was broken; the people in it were the original owner and Feng Jiutian's past lives.

After the argument, what happens next is Nie Xiangwan, who has become a demon, and Feng Qing, who has become an immortal, meeting again.

"Nie Xiangwan, you really have become a great demon."

"Feng Qing, who are you trying to fool with your hypocrisy? You people are all sanctimonious hypocrites! Heaven is unjust. If I don't become a demon, how can I seek justice for my Nie family?"

"Stop, you're no match for me."

"Feng Qing, don't think that just because you've become a disciple of an immortal, I can't do anything to you. Even if it costs me everything, I will make the Yijing Sect pay for their blood debt!"

With a single move, Feng Qing captured Nie Xiangwan and imprisoned her in the Demon-Locking Array, where the array gradually eroded her, expelling the demonic energy from her body.

Nie Xiangwan, her eyes bloodshot, was filled with resentment. But now she was a prisoner, forced to endure this excruciating pain.

"Feng Qing, if there is a next life, I wish I would never see you again! If we do meet, I wish we would never fall in love again. In this life and for all eternity, I will never forgive you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Nie Xiangwan self-destructed and died, leaving behind only a mutilated body that was being corrupted by the Demon-Locking Array.

"No! Nie Xiangwan, how could you be so foolish? I, Feng Qing, have never wronged you! Why are you so resolute? I believe every word you say. But we are weak and alone, how can we contend with the major sects? I joined Yijing Sect not for the sake of this vanity, why don't you understand?"

Nie Xiangwan is dead. Only now does Feng Qing realize that she has long been an indelible pain in his heart.

He cradled her mangled body and buried her in a desolate place. From then on, Feng Qing became ruthless and devoid of love, cultivating an immortal body, but ultimately used this body to forge the resurrection array for gods and demons. The Demon Abyss became Nie Xiangwan's final resting place.

When Kan Yun arrived, it was too late to save him. He could only seal Feng Qing's memories, find him another infant body, raise him until he grew up, and then take him under his wing as his disciple.

His secret relationship with Nie Xiangwan was buried in the long river of time.

The original owner's true identity, which she wanted to know, turned out to be like this. Her entanglements with Feng Jiutian went beyond just that one lifetime.

When I opened my eyes, a fierce wind was blowing in the Demon Abyss, and the sounds of swords clashing overhead were getting closer and closer.

"Xiang Wan, I'm sorry for missing you for so long."

Feng Jiutian stayed with her in the Purple Flame Pool, but he was kept a foot away from the purple flames, which Xiang Wan had deliberately arranged.

To break the seal, Xiang Wan had to give him her pure spiritual power. To avoid having insufficient spiritual power, Xiang Wan had to choose the exact center of the Purple Flame Pool as the location.

This is the center of the formation, and also the final gathering place of the purple flames.

The desolate land served as the primary site for maintaining the array's operation. Once anyone entered, the Divine Demon Resurrection Array would drain their spiritual energy. Anyone whose cultivation level didn't surpass Feng Qing's would be trapped by the array. This was why Xiang Wan dared to make such a boastful statement.

Furthermore, the demons will operate in various other sects, luring those people to the secondary formation. Even if those people in the desolate lands suffer losses and refuse to enter the Demon Abyss, the spiritual energy absorbed from those places will be enough for Xiang Wan to squander.

Xiang Wan accepted the belated apology on behalf of the original owner. However, it was also a fact that he had caused the original owner's wrongful death in his previous life. Right and wrong were no longer definitive. They should only discuss this life, not the past; otherwise, this grudge would never be resolved.

"Feng Qing, the past is gone, gone with the wind. In this life, will you still speak for the Yijing Sect?"

"Zi Yan, I said I would stay with you, even if it means going against the heavens."

Yes, it defies the heavens, even at the greatest cost.

"The Mahayana stage is not enough. We need more power. Are you ready?"

"at any time."

"good!"

Having regained his memories, Feng Qing can recover to the realm of an immortal in a short time, provided he has enough spiritual energy. What he needs to do now is buy time.

With his hands forming a rapid seal, countless purple flames transformed into fine needles, which flew in all directions. Some flew into the sky, some entered the cave walls of the Demon Abyss, and some sank into the ground to search for cultivators with spiritual power.

And those closest to him were the so-called righteous people from above who came to besiege Xiang Wan.

Since Xiang Wan hadn't appeared, they couldn't sit still any longer and started throwing magical artifacts, puppets, and various spirit beasts at the Demon Abyss. These were all imbued with spiritual energy.
