One morning eight hundred years ago.
Third Watch Observatory.
"Daohai, this time, you will once again personally release the seals on Haitang and Nantian..."
"Master! Second Senior Sister is back!"
An urgent cry interrupted the conversation between Observatory Master Li Changeng and his eldest disciple, Qi Daohai, in the main hall.

Li Changeng also approached her, anger in his eyes:
"Yunjing, who hurt you? Tell your master!"
Liu Yunjing shook her head:

Qi Daohai still looked bewildered.

Qi Daohai asked in shock:
"Master, why did you suddenly activate the Observatory-Guarding Grand Formation?!"
Li Changeng's expression was grave:
