Four hundred years passed after Bai Ruxue left White Deer Academy.
Throughout those four hundred years, Xiao Mo had stayed by Bai Ruxue's side.
Bai Ruxue had been searching for a technique called the Return to Origin Technique.
The Return to Origin Technique was said to have existed in ancient times.
By using the Return to Origin Technique together with the scroll Shang Jiuli had painstakingly painted, there was a chance they could summon Xiao Mo's shattered soul, reassemble it, and let him be reincarnated.
In the four hundred and seventy-second year after Xiao Mo's death, Bai Ruxue entered a forbidden land.

Bai Ruxue planned to ask Daoist Priest Fuchen where the Netherworld Cold Spring was.
Although Fuchen hadn't
