Ji Liang came to the Lingxiao Palace and paid his respects.
Afterwards, the Emperor of Heaven called him over with a serious expression and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen the wife that Emperor Ao Yan married in the mortal world?"
"I saw it." Ji Yang replied.
The Emperor frowned: "How do you feel?"
"It's definitely a coincidence. Back then, I saw her soul scatter with my own eyes. Now, more than a hundred thousand years have passed. It can't be her."
The Emperor nodded, "Well, it's just that this is a bit too coincidental."
"Brother, don't worry. At worst, I can just imitate what I did back then and shatter her soul. She's different from that lotus flower. She's just a mortal. If I really want to control her, wouldn't it be easy?"
"Shut up!" The Emperor of Heaven growled, interrupting Ji Yang's self-righteousness. "Don't do anything stupid again!!!"
"Back then, you were so self-righteous that you actually did something so foolish without telling anyone. It's also my fault that I was so focused on government affairs that I neglected to discipline you. By the time I found out, the blunder had already been made and it was too late."
The Emperor's voice was low, yet filled with uncontrollable anger and regret, "Back then, I was mindful that the war between gods and demons was raging, and I couldn't let Ao Yan be affected by this incident and ruin the overall situation. That's why I asked you to fetch the Love Potion and use it with my sealing technique to seal some of Ao Yan's memories and help you cover it up.
Now that the matter has passed, I specifically called you here to remind you to remain calm and restrained. Don't let anyone notice anything, and don't be stubborn or do anything stupid. Do you understand?"
Ji Yang: "..., I understand."
She understood it, but she still felt unwilling to accept it. Why could others easily get what she had to work so hard to get?
"If my brother has nothing else to say, I will leave first." Ji Yang lowered her eyes and asked to leave.
"Well, go down first." The Emperor of Heaven was in a bad mood. He turned his back with a worried look on his face: Ao Yan had become suspicious and wanted to borrow his mirror of reincarnation to check the past. After all, the truth would come out sooner or later. It seemed that he had to make plans early.
The most urgent task is to eliminate the Demon King first to prevent future troubles.
Thinking of this, he took out the Samsara Mirror again and cast another spell, adding several layers of secret techniques to the Samsara Mirror. In this way, even if the Samsara Mirror accidentally fell into the hands of others, it could not be opened without his personal deciphering.
Ao Yan hid behind a pillar from beginning to end, quietly watching everything in the hall. Although the Emperor's spiritual power and martial arts value were not as good as his, they were not low either. If he got too close, there would still be a risk of being discovered.
Seeing that the Samsara Mirror was not damaged but had been encrypted again by the Emperor of Heaven, he temporarily gave up the idea of stealing it to find out the truth.
He strode out of the Lingxiao Palace and only when he reached the gate did he cancel his invisibility. He walked out of the gate with a sullen face and didn't even hear the guards saluting him.
"Forgetfulness Water, seal the memory?" He always thought that he had injured his soul after the war, which led to the partial memory loss. The life of a soul is long, so what is lost is lost. He felt that it was not a big deal, so he never thought of looking for it back.
But he never thought that someone had deliberately sealed his memory.
Since the Reincarnation Mirror cannot be used, why not find a way to unlock that part of my memory first?
If I could recover that part of my memory, I should be able to understand the whole story, right?
The first time Emperor Ao Yan did not come out of Lingxiao Palace, he went straight back to Chongyan Palace.
Instead, he hurried to the Medicine God Temple far away on the edge of the Milky Way. The Medicine God was well versed in pharmacology and did not care about worldly affairs. He stayed in the Medicine God Temple for many years and was obsessed with refining medicine. Many elixirs for curing diseases and practicing cultivation in Heaven were refined by him. I think he should know something about the Forgetfulness Water.
The Medicine God was an old man with a white beard. After listening to Ao Yan's plea, he stroked his white beard. He still had some recollection of the time when he came here to get the Love Potion a hundred thousand years ago. At that time, it was the Peacock Fairy Ji Yan who came here with red eyes crying and begged him for a bottle of Love Potion, saying that she was trapped in love and had nowhere to find relief. She just wanted to drink the Love Potion to get herself free.
He felt sorry for the little girl, so he gave it to her. But he didn't expect that it would be used on Emperor Ao Yan?
"Is there any antidote to this love potion?" Ao Yan asked anxiously.
The Medicine God didn't hesitate. He rummaged through the overflowing medicine cabinet and found a small white porcelain bottle. He poured a black pill from the bottle and handed it to Emperor Ao Yan. "Yes, this pill is the antidote to the Forgetfulness Water."
Ao Yan was overjoyed. He picked up the antidote and was about to put it into his mouth, but he heard the Medicine God say "wait" and his movements stopped.
"Although this pill is the antidote to the Love Potion, the Love Potion only makes people forget about love, but it does not make people lose their minds. And according to your description, Your Majesty, you have not only forgotten about love, but also lost part of your memory. This is probably not just the effect of the Love Potion, but also some kind of sealing technique. Using this pill alone may not be enough." The Medicine God stroked his white beard again.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor frowned and said, "How could it be so easy?"
"Oh? Does Medicine God have a solution?"
"It's not completely impossible. Method one is, of course, to find the person who helped you seal it back then, and then cast a spell to unseal it. This method is the most labor-saving and safest."
Ao Yan recalled the various expressions on the Emperor's face and figured that he wouldn't be able to help him unblock the seal. "What about method two?"
"This is the second method? I'm afraid the Emperor will be in great pain." The Medicine God stroked his white beard again, looked him in the eye, and continued, "At the edge of the sky, there is a spring called Liequan. I heard that the water is quite hot and contains some unknown medicinal properties. As long as you practice Qigong in the spring for a day and a night, you should be able to break through all the restrictions on your body..."
"Thank you, Medicine God." After hearing this, Emperor Ao Yan bowed to express his gratitude to the Medicine God and returned to Chongyan Palace without looking back.
After all, he would be away for a day and a night, so he had to inform Shu'er first to avoid her worrying, and strengthen the defense before he could set off.
Liequan is indeed as its name suggests. Unlike ordinary hot springs, the spring water is extremely hot. There is mist swirling above it, which is all water vapor evaporated by the scorching temperature. The spring water is even bubbling, giving people the feeling that if you accidentally touch it, you will be burned and blistered immediately, and your skin will be peeled off.
The Emperor, however, held the pill in his mouth and jumped in without hesitation, ignoring the instantaneous reddening of his skin, and began to practice his Qi...

The Emperor was away, so Li Shushu had a good nap during the day, so she wasn't that sleepy at night.
She called Xiao Tu to help her punch holes in the colored stones one by one. She then found some red silk threads to make a string and strung all the small stones on. After working for a long time, an exquisite bracelet was formed.
Li Shushu took the bracelet and looked at it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She touched the crescent-shaped pendant on her chest that the Emperor had given her, and thought: This is the first time she has officially given the Emperor a gift.
Hopefully he'll like it.
