The sealed gate slowly opened before Li Xuanxiao.
Opening the gate required blood, and not just any blood, but the blood of a specific person.
That person was undoubtedly Lin Wanqing.
Things unfolded exactly as Li Xuanxiao had predicted.
A vast space appeared before Li Xuanxiao.
At first, Li Xuanxiao suspected there were traps, but he quickly realized he was mistaken.
This place seemed to be somewhere someone had lived.
A faint, almost imperceptible scent of sandalwood wafted through the air, enveloping one in a tranquil and mysterious atmosphere.
Wherever his gaze fell, the intricately carved lattice windows were breathtakingly exquisite.
Inside, a soft and comfortable wooden bed was laid with finely embroidered brocade bedding. Both the head and foot of the bed were carved with exquisite patterns.
In a corner of the room, an ancient and elegant guqin stood silently.
A bronze mirror was placed on a wooden vanity, which was also carved with remarkable detail.
Li Xuanxiao suddenly clutched his head as a flood of memories surged before his eyes.
These were not his memories, but those of Fanyue and Lin Wanqing.
No, they were the memories of the two from their previous, previous, previous lives.
Li Xuanxiao instantly understood.
This was why Fanyue had drawn the map; it was all part of his plan.
As long as Lin Wanqing was brought here, she would regain her memories and remember everything.
But he had miscalculated.
He hadn't expected to lose his own memory, nor had he anticipated being outmaneuvered by Li Xuanxiao at Shushan.
Then, Lin Wanqing was attacked by the Gold-Silver Blood Snakes hidden here. By a twist of fate, the person who entered this place turned out to be Li Xuanxiao.
Li Xuanxiao saw the memories Fanyue had left behind.
One was the Hall Master of the Heavenly Fiend Hall, a notorious demon known to all.
The other was a female sword cultivator, the Sword Dao Leader of the realm.
During one encirclement, Fanyue killed everyone except Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing pursued Fanyue for three months.
Lin Wanqing, whose sword heart was originally firm, gradually developed a special feeling for Fanyue.
Finally, she decided to sacrifice herself to soften Fanyue's heart, hoping he would put down his butcher's knife and abandon the path of killing.
To save Lin Wanqing, Fanyue had no choice but to send her back into reincarnation, intending to find her next life.
In their second life, Lin Wanqing joined Shushan, achieved fame at a young age, and astonished everyone.
Later, she was pursued by Fanyue, and the two experienced many life-and-death situations together.
Lin Wanqing eventually regained her memories.
In her anguish, she abandoned her cultivation, became a mortal, and left Shushan.
Fanyue also promised her he would no longer commit evil, and the two lived in seclusion together in the deep forest.
However, the first Sect Leader of Shushan at the time relentlessly pursued them with his Shushan sword.
Ultimately, to protect Fanyue, Lin Wanqing died by the Shushan sword.
Seeing his most outstanding disciple die by his own hand, the Sect Leader did not hesitate and immediately slew Fanyue...
Afterward, to preserve the reputation of Shushan, the Sect Leader erased all records of Fanyue and Lin Wanqing from Shushan.
Having seen all the memories, Li Xuanxiao paused for a moment, then let out a soft sigh.
So this was the whole story.
He couldn't understand why a peerless prodigy, the Sword Dao Leader, would fall in love with a bloodthirsty demon.
Li Xuanxiao shook his head.
Besides leaving memories in the room, Fanyue had also left behind three Treasure Artifacts.
This was also the reason why the Gold-Silver Blood Snakes were attracted here.
Everything was destined.
Spirit Artifacts were divided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.
Treasure Artifacts were divided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.
Spirit Treasures were divided into Acquired Spirit Treasures and Innate Spirit Treasures.
Acquired Spirit Treasures could be endowed with specific attributes and functions according to the crafter's will.
However, as Acquired Spirit Treasures are artificially refined, they often require continuous nurturing and upgrading to unleash their full potential.
In contrast, Innate Spirit Treasures are peerless treasures that have existed since the dawn of creation.

They inherently possess unparalleled spirituality and might, capable of evolving wondrous effects on their own without any human intervention.
The three magical artifacts left behind by Fanyue were all prepared for Lin Wanqing.
One was an Acquired Spirit Treasure crafted by Fanyue.
It was the Dragon Scale Armor, a silver-white suit of armor.
It could be worn regardless of one's cultivation level.
Even Li Xuanxiao had to admit it was thoughtful, incredibly thoughtful!
Wearing this armor would significantly boost the speed of absorbing spiritual energy and restoring True Essence within the body.
Its excellent defensive capabilities would ensure survival during battles, as long as one's head wasn't blown off by other cultivators.
The second magical artifact was the Wind Chariot.
It was small in its original form and could be retrieved from a Storage Ring.
It would transform into a chariot.
The axle was a crossbeam, supporting the chariot body, with wheels attached to both ends.
The ends of the axle protruded beyond the hubs, secured by a pin three to four inches long.
It possessed incredible speed, useful for escaping and traveling.
The third magical artifact was the Sky Mending Pill.
Upon consumption, it could slowly improve the cultivator's physique, leading to rapid progress in their cultivation.
It could rectify impure spiritual roots and refine innate spiritual roots.
It also had no cultivation restrictions.
Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could take it, and Foundation Establishment cultivators could take it as well.
When pills are refined, the stronger their medicinal power, the greater the demands placed on the user's own body.
Therefore, pills cannot be consumed carelessly.
Minor issues could lead to bodily harm, and severe cases could be fatal.
As for mortals, they shouldn't even think about it.
But this Sky Mending Pill had no restrictions whatsoever.
Mortals who consumed it would have their lifespan greatly extended, equivalent to that of a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
It seemed Fanyue prepared this Sky Mending Pill specifically out of fear that Lin Wanqing might become a mortal after her reincarnation.
From these three magical artifacts, it was evident that Fanyue had carefully selected them for his beloved.
Warm, so warm!!
"Then... I won't stand on ceremony."
Li Xuanxiao took all three magical artifacts and meticulously inspected them inside and out.
These three magical artifacts naturally could not be left for Lin Wanqing; she couldn't even see them. Who knew what she might recall.
"..."
"Rumble—!!"
A moment later, the space within the cave collapsed and was submerged in ruins.
The space outside, which was indestructible, could be easily destroyed from within.
Blazing true fire engulfed everything.
Li Xuanxiao felt this wasn't enough, so he used the Earth Evasion Technique to dig a large hole below.
He burrowed straight into the ground, then used the Earth Evasion Technique again to submerge everything.
Finally, he moved giant rocks to fill the hole.
After completing all this, Li Xuanxiao took the still unconscious Third Senior Sister, Lin Wanqing, to a safe place.
Ensuring Fanyue had left nothing else behind.
Li Xuanxiao erased any trace of his presence and quietly departed.
If only I hadn't met Fanyue back then. If only Third Senior Sister hadn't developed feelings for that demon, to the point of absurdly sacrificing her life and cultivation for him...
"Third Senior Sister, perhaps being an ordinary person would be better for you than being a cultivator. I hope you never meet Fanyue again."
"..."
After Li Xuanxiao left.
Lin Wanqing gradually regained consciousness. The lingering poison in her body made her head feel groggy.
She had no idea how she ended up here, recuperating in the cave for several days.
As soon as she left, she followed the map to the location Fanyue had left for her.
But there was nothing there anymore.
Lin Wanqing sighed softly and walked alone towards the distance.
