The East Sea and the Nine Heavenly Kingdoms had never borne any grudge against each other. The Netherworld invasion concerned the very survival of the entire cultivation world, so all sides reached a consensus with relative ease.
Inside Yan Chihuo's cave abode, Mo Han and Snow Fairy studied the jade slips in their hands, then looked to him, waiting for an explanation. Yan Chihuo said, "Tomorrow, I will leave Sea Heaven Island to join the great battle against the ghosts and monsters of the Netherworld. Fortune and misfortune are impossible to predict on this journey, so I am leaving my life's learning to you. These two jade slips contain the same things: two great cultivation arts. One is the Innate Seventy-Two Transformations, and the other is the Ancient Sword Canon."
"You may study these two arts as you please, but I do not recommend that you cultivate them. Your cultivation is already profound; starting over from the beginning would only waste time and effort."

When my cultivation was low, my divinations never failed, but as my cultivation deepened, it had long since ceased to be enough. Yet I have never conducted much study into this aspect, so in recent years, I have understood less and less of my divinations. This time, the result showed both misfortune and fortune—essentially, it said nothing at all."
Snow Fairy said, "Why must you be the one to go? The Sea Heaven Sect is still weak. If anything happens to you—ptui, what nonsense
