Fengyunlu

In the corridor of the long years, the eyes of Fairy Ji Yao seemed to be gently covered by the dust of the past, with tears in her eyes. She stared at the woman in red in front of her, with a complex and profound interweaving of emotions, as if she had gone through countless reincarnations and fates. She lost her parents at a young age and depended on her sister for life, but she was repeatedly teased and calculated by fate. Fortunately, Bai Ximo stepped forward in times of crisis and fearlessly protected them both. However, this short peace was just a prelude to a joke of fate.

Just when Fairy Ji Yao and her sister thought they had finally welcomed the dawn of life and a glimmer of sweetness permeated their hearts, fate shattered their hopes in a more cruel way. The betrayal of their teacher was like a bolt from the blue. It not only destroyed the peace they had built with great difficulty, but also took away her sister's life, leaving her with no chance of reincarnation. This despair and helplessness made Fairy Ji Yao sigh. If she had known this would happen, perhaps she would have left with her parents, which would have been better than this endless pain and loneliness.

She slowly walked towards the woman in red, and each step seemed to carry a thousand pounds of memories and emotions. She raised her hand gently, wanting to touch the red dress, seeking comfort and answers. She knew that the woman in front of her might be experiencing a similar fate as hers, or even more miserable. Two souls in one body, this was originally a helpless choice. Under the practice of the Burning Heart Technique, there are so many unknown secrets and sacrifices hidden, making the fate of the sisters full of unknowns and variables.

"Senior," Fairy Ji Yao's voice was trembling and cautious, her eyes fixed on the woman in red, afraid to miss any change in expression on her face. "You know my mother, can you tell me about her life?" Her tone was full of expectation and desire, as if as long as she knew her mother's past, she would be able to find a little spiritual comfort.

The red-dressed woman's eyes softened, filled with warmth and love, as if she was looking at her own child. She gently turned aside, avoiding the hand of Fairy Ji Yao that was reaching for the lantern, and said solemnly and admonishingly, "Child, you can't touch this thing. The Taiyin Holy Body is a wonder of the immortals. Once it is contaminated by karma, there may be a disaster in the future. I promise you that I won't fight with him now."

Fairy Ji Yao stopped walking when she heard this, and looked back at Luo Hongchen. Seeing him nod slightly in support, she slowly withdrew her hand. Her eyes were shining with anticipation, waiting for the woman in red to unveil the mysterious veil of her mother.

The woman in red gently stroked the lantern in her hand, as if she was lost in distant memories. She slowly spoke: "Your mother and I became friends because of this lantern. Back then..." As she spoke, a long-forgotten past gradually emerged before everyone's eyes.

It turns out that the woman in red was originally a member of the Lingyan Pavilion in the Great Snow Mountain. The old Pavilion Master of the Lingyan Pavilion married three wives in his life, each of whom gave birth to a daughter for him. Among them, Liu, the mother of Ling Xueer, who had an indissoluble bond with Luo Hongchen, was the beloved of the old Pavilion Master who sacrificed for the sword. In addition to Liu, the other two wives also died in accidents, leaving behind two daughters with ill-fated fates. Because the two children had a rough life, they ultimately could not escape the fate of premature death.

However, the old Pavilion Master had deep feelings for these two children and could not bear to see them disappear from the world. So he looked for a soul-refining method everywhere in the hope of saving the lives of these two children. After some efforts, he finally found a secret soul-refining method. Although this secret method was not special, it showed extraordinary effects when combined with the Lingyan Pavilion's weapon-refining method and the method of storing souls and weapons.

The old master was overjoyed and started to implement this plan. He called back the souls of the two children and hid them in the corpses on the extremely dark side of the ice and fire furnace. After two attempts, he finally succeeded in bringing the souls of the two children back to this world. However, at this time, they had lost the support of their physical bodies and could only temporarily move with the ghost way. If this continued, the corpses would eventually disintegrate, and their fate would still be precarious.

In order to completely solve this problem, the old pavilion master set out again to seek help. He finally found an old senior who had not been out of the world for a long time and borrowed the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon Three Lanterns Furnace, a treasure for hiding souls. This furnace looks like a lantern but contains the power of the netherworld. It is undoubtedly a gift from heaven for ghost practitioners. The old pavilion master hid the souls of the two children in the three furnaces and placed them properly. Then he brought the two corpses to Qingli Palace and exchanged generous conditions for the personal help of the head emperor Changsheng Great Emperor Changchunzi in order to allow the two children to be reborn from the bones.

However, although the Great Emperor Changsheng had the Qingli Palace's method of prolonging life and had to sacrifice his own cultivation, he still could not save both children at the same time. In the end, only one being with two souls was born in the reincarnation pool. The old Pavilion Master was heartbroken but powerless to save the situation. He could only return to the Great Snow Mountain with the child in sadness.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the two children have grown up. However, due to their special constitution of two souls in one body, ordinary methods cannot help them practice, and their daily life is also a mess. The old pavilion master knows that if this continues, he will fall into a desperate situation, so he is determined to find a secret method that can solve this problem so that the two children can successfully enter the mysterious way.

Therefore, Lingyan Pavilion offered a reward to all the occult sects in the world at all costs. No matter whether they were righteous or evil, anyone who could provide clues to the method of the dual souls would be rewarded generously. However, the relationship between the righteous and evil was delicate. Although Daxueshan had this intention, he could not do it without scruples and could only explore in the dark to find that ray of hope.

Finally, on the way to return the three stoves, they met a strange old man. The old man traveled around the world and made a living by fortune-telling. He was accompanied by a half-grown girl. According to the old man, the two were grandfather and grandson, but in fact, he picked up the orphan in his early years. Because his parents died and he was young and helpless, he kept the girl with him. Will the appearance of this old man reveal the mystery of Fairy Ji Yao's mother's life? How will she and the woman in red continue this fate that spans time and space? Everything slowly unfolds in the unknown fog...

In that vast world, there are countless unknown secrets and disputes hidden, and today's events are slowly unfolding this secret past like a picture scroll.

The girl, though young, seemed to be carrying a heavy secret. Facing the old man's affectionate confession, she remained silent, with a hint of evasion and fear flashing in her eyes from time to time. The old Pavilion Master, the helmsman of Lingyan Pavilion, had seen countless people and naturally saw the clues. He thought to himself that there must be something fishy about this matter. So, he called the girl aside in a soft voice, trying to find out the truth from her. However, no matter how he asked, the girl's answer was always almost the same as the old man's narration, only the slightly rubbing corners of her clothes revealed her inner panic and uneasiness.

The old Pavilion Master secretly thought that he should not interfere in worldly affairs, but since this matter involved himself and Lingyan Pavilion, how could he stand by and watch? So he decided to reveal his identity and compete with the old man. However, to his surprise, the old man was also a member of the Xuanmen and had already seen through his identity. It turned out that the old man was the Ghost King Youhun, one of the seven kings in the poor family. He had coveted the three magic weapons in Lingyan Pavilion for a long time and had been looking for an opportunity to start. This time, he made a careful plan and appeared as an old man, waiting for the old Pavilion Master to return, with the purpose of snatching the magic weapon and the old Pavilion Master's biological daughter.

As soon as the two sides fought, the old pavilion master found that he was no match for the ghost king. The ghost king had a very high level of cultivation and was good at using the power of the underworld. Although the old pavilion master had a lot of skills, he was still unable to resist. In the end, the three furnaces were robbed and the two daughters were abducted by the ghost king with magic tools. Although the masters of Lingyan Pavilion followed closely, they were unable to catch up with the ghost king's figure that was as fast as flowing light. Only the half-grown girl was left standing alone, her eyes full of helplessness and despair.

The old Pavilion Master questioned the girl again, but learned a piece of news that broke his heart. It turned out that the girl was an orphan that the Ghost King had just kidnapped ten days ago. Her parents had been killed by the Ghost King, and her brother was also abducted as a threat. The Ghost King forced her to write down a false life story, and then approached the old Pavilion Master and his group under the pretext of fortune-telling, secretly setting a trap. The old Pavilion Master was not careful for a moment, and was actually calculated by the Ghost King.

After learning the truth, the old Pavilion Master was furious. He knew that the Ghost King was ruthless and that his daughter would be tortured if she fell into his hands. Moreover, the secret of his daughter's dual souls and resurrection made the Ghost King salivate. He was worried that his daughter would become a ghost soldier of the Ghost King in the future, and might even lose her humanity and become an evil creature.

However, the old Pavilion Master was helpless. He knew that the Fairy Demon Island was a place of great importance to the poor, with strict security and no one could enter. In desperation, he could only take the half-grown girl back to the Great Snow Mountain to make long-term plans. After returning to Lingyan Pavilion, he immediately invited the owner of the Three Magic Furnaces, Zhu Chunhua from Kunlun, overseas. Although Zhu Chunhua was a senior who was both good and evil, his cultivation was unfathomable and he was quite knowledgeable about the netherworld. After listening to the old Pavilion Master's story, he did not care about the Ghost King, but instead became very interested in the old Pavilion Master's beloved daughter. He was willing to help and was willing to take the old Pavilion Master's daughter as his apprentice and teach her the netherworld technique.

The old Pavilion Master was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately agreed to Zhu Chunhua's request. He knew that his daughter would be better taken care of and trained by Zhu Chunhua. So, he took the masters of Lingyan Pavilion and went to the Fairy Demon Island with Zhu Chunhua to seek justice from the Ghost King.

On the Netherworld Blood Sea, the prisoner of the Han Clan Sect learned about the visit from overseas Kunlun and personally led people to greet him. After some polite exchanges, the prisoner ordered the Ghost King to return the stolen items. The Ghost King knew he was in the wrong and did not dare to neglect it. He immediately presented the two souls in one body and the Ghost Dao magic weapon with both hands. Zhu Chunhua smiled indifferently, took the magic weapon and his daughter, turned around and was about to leave. The old Pavilion Master followed closely behind and left the Netherworld Blood Sea together.

After returning to the Great Snow Mountain, the old Pavilion Master hosted a banquet in Lingyan Pavilion to entertain Zhu Chunhua and his daughters. He was filled with emotion, both the grief of losing his beloved daughter and the joy of his daughter being saved. Zhu Chunhua praised the old Pavilion Master's daughters highly, believing that they were talented and would become great in the future. He also promised to teach them well and let them go further on the road to the netherworld.

Decades later, the half-grown girl came to the Snow Mountain again as Zhu Chunhua's registered disciple. She held a piece of Xuanwai Essence as a gift and thanked the old Pavilion Master on behalf of her teacher. It turned out that in these years, Zhu Chunhua had been teaching the old Pavilion Master's daughters carefully and imparting all her life's knowledge to them. Now, they have learned a lot and are practicing in seclusion. After they come out of seclusion, they will naturally go home to visit the old Pavilion Master.

The old Pavilion Master accepted the gift with tears in his eyes, his heart full of expectation and relief. He knew that his daughters were working hard for the future of Xuanmen, and he would always protect this family and wait for their return. The half-grown girl completed her mission, turned around and returned overseas to continue her path of cultivation.

Time flies, and another ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. During these long years, the old Pavilion Master of Lingyan Pavilion, a senior with unfathomable cultivation, never gave up the pursuit of the highest realm of martial arts. He visited famous mountains and rivers, and after going through untold hardships, he finally found a rare treasure in a secret place where few people have ever been by chance. This rare treasure is extraordinary, containing the purest spiritual power between heaven and earth, and it fits in with the mysterious essence in the old Pavilion Master's heart, as if it is a match made in heaven.

The old Pavilion Master was overjoyed and immediately discussed with his wife Liu, deciding to use this rare treasure and the ice and fire furnace to forge two Nine Heavens Magical Weapons. They knew that this would be the greatest work of their lives and the hope for the future rise of Lingyan Pavilion. So, the couple went hand in hand and devoted themselves to the great cause of forging magic weapons day and night.

In the ice and fire furnace, flames and ice intertwined, forming a spectacular scene. The old pavilion master and Liu threw the rare treasures and many divine materials into the furnace one by one. After nine days and nine nights of forging, the two divine weapons gradually took shape. They emitted a dazzling light and were astonishingly powerful, as if they could tear the world apart and cut off everything. However, it was regrettable that although these two divine weapons were powerful, they were never fully produced.

The old Pavilion Master and Liu were extremely anxious, knowing that they didn't have much time left. The old Pavilion Master was even closer to death, and his cultivation was no longer enough to support him to continue living. At this critical moment, their two daughters, Ling Xuan'er and Ling Xian'er, came home from seclusion to fulfill their filial duties to their parents. However, they still had to obey their master's orders and go out to gain experience, and could not stay with their parents for a long time.

Although the old Pavilion Master had some regrets in his heart, he was more looking forward to the future. He believed that once these two Nine Heavens Magical Weapons were born, they would surely shock the world and take Lingyan Pavilion to a higher level. He even fantasized that one day he would be able to kill a Sword Immortal Emperor with these two magic weapons, making Lingyan Pavilion a Great Emperor Sect and no longer having to be among the Nine Glory. This would be an unprecedented achievement for him, enough to comfort his ancestors and future generations.
