Upon the vast and boundless Spirit Illusion Continent, where spiritual essence gathered.

Cultivation sects stood in great numbers, their powers tangled in a web of complexity.

Among them, the Profound Heaven Sect stood as the leader of the righteous path.

It rose upon the Profound Heaven Mountain Range in the heart of the continent.

Its grandeur was awe-inspiring, like a dazzling star shedding endless brilliance.

It filled countless cultivators with yearning.

Jiang Xuan was an exceptionally gifted disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect.

When he was born, heavenly phenomena appeared. Auspicious light blanketed a hundred miles, drawing the attention of many powerful figures.

From childhood, Jiang Xuan displayed unparalleled comprehension of cultivation. At merely ten years old, he broke through to the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining. Within the Profound Heaven Sect, his name spread far and wide, and he was hailed as a once-in-a-century cultivation prodigy.

Bai Ruoshuang was the only daughter of Bai Moyang, an elder of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Her beauty was peerless, her bearing ethereal, as though a mysterious maiden from the Ninth Heaven had descended into the mortal world. Her cold face resembled ice and snow that had not melted for a thousand years, leaving others afraid to profane her lightly.

Bai Ruoshuang was equally gifted. Her path of cultivation had been smooth sailing, and she and Jiang Xuan were known as the golden boy and jade girl of the Profound Heaven Sect.

When the two were still young, their elders had arranged an engagement between them.

This engagement became a cherished tale within the Profound Heaven Sect.

Everyone believed that if the two could join hands in marriage, they would surely become the central pillars of the Profound Heaven Sect in the future.

They would lead the Profound Heaven Sect toward an even more glorious future.

Jiang Xuan had known of this engagement since childhood, and his heart was full of anticipation for Bai Ruoshuang.

In his imagination.

Cultivating hand in hand with Bai Ruoshuang in the future, exploring the mysteries of heaven and earth together, would surely be the most wonderful thing in the world.

Whenever he had free time.

He would always stand by the spiritual lake of the Profound Heaven Sect, secretly dreaming of his future life with Bai Ruoshuang.

A faint smile would unconsciously rise at the corners of his lips.

He imagined the two of them searching for rare spiritual herbs in spiritual valleys, sharing their insights into cultivation with one another.

And supporting each other when facing powerful enemies, never abandoning one another.

However, as time passed, Bai Ruoshuang's attitude toward the engagement quietly began to change.

As she cultivated, her horizons gradually broadened.

She came to know more outstanding young talents from all sides.

Through her interactions with these people.

She felt that although Jiang Xuan was exceptionally gifted, he was too low-key and reserved.

He lacked the commanding aura of a leader whose single call could draw a hundred responses in grand settings.

Especially during a Dao Discussion Assembly jointly held by the Profound Heaven Sect and other sects.

Young talents from numerous sects took the stage one after another, displaying their insights into cultivation and their mystical arts and divine abilities.

Jiang Xuan also stepped onto the stage and shared his unique views on cultivation.

Yet his words were plain, without excessive flowery language or exaggerated displays.

By contrast, some disciples from other sects won wave after wave of cheers from the crowd below with their breathtaking displays of spells and impassioned speeches.

Bai Ruoshuang stood beneath the stage.

Watching the disciples of the other sects shine brilliantly upon it.

The dissatisfaction in her heart toward Jiang Xuan grew ever stronger.

She felt.

Jiang Xuan possessed talent alone, yet did not know how to display himself.

In this fiercely competitive cultivation world.

Such a personality would find it difficult to achieve anything great.

From that moment onward.

The thought of breaking off the engagement began to sprout in her heart.

She began comparing them in secret.

Why could those people shine so brightly, while Jiang Xuan was always so understated?

As though he hid his own radiance within the darkness.

This comparison gradually tipped the scales in her heart.

Her determination to uphold the engagement grew weaker and weaker.
