Five Remnant Souls

"A calamity caused a supreme treasure, the 'Mountains, Rivers, State and Society Diagram,' to shatter. After Tang Sanzang died as a result, he fell back into the cycle of reincarnation and was reborn. His disciples also successively reincarnated and departed, each carrying a fragment of the Mountains, Rivers, State and Society Diagram. Without these five fated scripture seekers, the fight against the Demonic Calamity became even less optimistic, eventually developing into the situation of today..." Li Jing said.

Shen Luo pondered for a long while before asking,

"When exactly did the Demonic Calamity erupt, where did it happen, and how did it break out? You should still remember those things, right?"

"I do not remember the details of the Demonic Calamity's outbreak, the process of the Heavenly Court's fall, or the circumstances of the immortals and Buddhas dying in battle. I cannot even recall who killed me." Li Jing shook his head.

"So, Senior, you did not remember a single important thing?" Shen Luo said speechlessly.

"No. I have always remembered the most important matter." Li Jing immediately refuted him.

"What matter?" Shen Luo's expression shifted slightly as he hurriedly asked.

"The reason Spirit Mountain's plan failed back then was that Chi You, within the seal, had secretly split off five remnant souls before the Demonic Calamity erupted. They, too, reincarnated separately, becoming the fuse that later ignited the Demonic Calamity." Li Jing said with a deeply furrowed brow.

"When did these five remnant souls reincarnate?" Shen Luo asked after a long silence.

This question was of utmost importance. If the five remnant souls had reincarnated before the time of his present world, then once he returned, he only needed to inform the Great Tang Government Office in advance and have them contact the Heavenly Court to reinforce the seal
