"Dao Severing—severing endless obsessions, shattering endless delusions."
Huolin'er walked lightly through the wilderness of Divine Province. Now that she had truly reached Nine Secrets: Lin the threshold of Dao Severing, countless scenes came back to her. Her present and past were separated by millions of years.

For all these years, she had refused to think back on them. Yet with Dao Severing approaching, the most painful scars—the ones she least wished to uncover—would be ruthlessly stripped bare.
