A Glimmer of Hope

"Ahem!"

Hearing Griseo's question, Hua coughed awkwardly twice and explained,

"That Sect Master Yixuan, after Master, Sister, and many senior teachers left, experienced the pain of loss day and night.

Yet she did not fall; instead, flowing unceasingly day and night like water, she carried the ideal of 'saving the world and aiding people,' growing continually stronger while guarding the peace of Yunkui Mountain and Weifei Land."

Note:

Li is fire, and the "Xiang" states: "The great man uses successive brightness to shine upon the four quarters."

This means sages generation after generation inherit the clear virtue of their predecessors and cause it to shine universally upon the four quarters. This corresponds to Yijiang inheriting the Azure Nether Sword of Yunkui Mountain and resolutely answering the call of the Hollow disaster.

The "Tuan" states: "Li means attachment."

This means fire cannot illuminate itself; it requires something to attach to, which is to say that in order to defeat the tide-like remnants, she had no choice but to borrow the power of the Azure Nether Sword to burn herself and release her radiance.

"Sister Hua, if that's the case? Then why did [Discipline] make me have a premonition that the future will intersect with the late Aunt Yijiang?"

"Griseo. The Li Fire Hexagram is elusive and unpredictable, yet it also breeds fortune, giving birth to opportunities amidst uncertain transformations."

Hua looked into the distance, a breeze brushing against her face carrying the distinctive chill of the mountains.

"In this world, given the nature of Hollows, I surmise that Sect Master Yijiang's soul is still lingering somewhere!"

"Is that so!"

Griseo nodded in agreement.

Hollows in this world could record souls, and returning from the dead... for her, as long as the conditions were sufficient, was something she could accomplish.
