I am a Horcrux. From the beginning of my memory, I only remember that I and Shui Yunjian have been growing up and down together for tens of thousands of years.

I heard that this incident was quite complicated, and it seemed to be related to Xuan Qingzun, the master of Xuting Peak in the divine realm. As one of Xuan Qingzun's magic weapons, and a magic weapon specially used to nourish the soul, I naturally shoulder the important task of raising the soul of the Emperor Jun's daughter. Ten thousand years have passed, and the day the Emperor Jun's daughter wakes up is the day I transform into a human form. The bond with Xuan Qingzun also started when he came to Shuiyunjian to collect the blood of the emperor's daughter... (Unorthodox fantasy, unorthodox fairy tale, this is the author's first book. It has been completed. There are too many flaws. I hope you will bear with me. I am not sure when the new book will be written, but it still has this pure and light style! The author thinks that his level is not enough, and he still needs to work hard to practice!)
