Ji Yuyou has never believed that an entire sect could be founded and destroyed for the sake of one woman. Of course, she isn't that woman.
That woman is Wen Xi, the Holy Venerable's beloved, and she is dead.
The Holy Venerable Wen Xi wants to bring her back to life, and the price of her rebirth is the sacrifice of his disciples.
By the time Ji Yuyou discovers the truth, it's already too late. She asks Wen Xi, "Is it worth it? Is this right? Can this really bring someone back to life?"
Wen Xi says, "It's not worth it, and it's not right. But ever since it became one with me, I haven't been able to stop."
Ji Yuyou asks, "Then do you regret it?"
"Hahahahahaha, how could I possibly regret it?"
The suddenly deranged Holy Venerable is a stranger to her.
Wen Xi stops laughing and says with complete seriousness, "I will never regret it. I set everything up for you."
That leaves her even more stunned... and unconvinced. He really will blame anything on her.
Much later, Ji Yuyou thinks she understands. Beneath all that madness, there is probably a pearl imprisoning them.
She, her senior brothers and sisters, and even Wen Xi have all been toyed with their whole lives by a stupid little pearl.
But that's all right. Just watch her destroy it and save her sect.
Message: Life and death are fated, and wealth and honor are decreed by Heaven.
