I was originally a wisp of the Heartless Dao Venerable's avatar. To fulfill my tribulation of love, I became Dao partners with Liu Ruyan. A hundred years later, she brought back a mortal man and wanted to take him as her sole disciple. Then the demons suddenly invaded. To save Liu Ruyan, I fell into the Ten Thousand Demons Pit. My golden core was ripped out, and I was violated by countless demons for three days and three nights. At last, Liu Ruyan appeared and rescued me. But that night, I overheard her speaking with our master:
"Ruyan, we deliberately lured Ye Hua into the demon realm and let the demons violate him, all so we could give his golden core to that mortal. Is this really all right?"
Liu Ruyan remained unmoved as she placed my golden core inside the mortal's body.
"This was the only way I could think of to free him from his mortal bones. As for Ye Hua, I'm giving him the rest of my life. What more could he possibly want?"
I felt as if I had fallen into an icy abyss, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Perhaps Liu Ruyan didn't know that my tribulation of love was almost over.
In three days, when I died, I would completely merge with my true self.
By then, my Heartless Dao would be complete, and she and I would have no possibility of being together.
