Whether it was the Charming Technique from the Book of Yin Yang Diagram or any other, its true purpose was ultimately to please one's lover.

A Cultivation Technique she created herself, yet not cultivated through orthodox means... but by relying on the Emotion Poison from the Shadow Hong Saber for cultivation...

The spiritual torment involved... perhaps only she truly knew...

Wang Mu took a deep breath.

Many disciples of the Fengyue Sect practiced the Great Yin Yang Joyful Map. However, few cultivated the Harmonization Map; only a small portion of disciples practiced it. Among them, Mu Hongyuan, the founder, naturally held the highest cultivation Realm. Yet, she had no Taoist couple and relied solely on the Evil Qi generated from the Shadow Hong Saber for her cultivation, making her an anomaly. But with her exceptional talent and unwavering will, her Taoist Heart was exceptionally strong, so she encountered no issues until reaching the Ascension Realm.

However, a millennium of cultivation inevitably brought difficulties. And every time Mu Hongyuan showed pain, the clear sound of a bell would ring out beside her.

It's the Unrivaled Bell... Wang Mu muttered to himself.

If the Green Frost Sword was a token of love given to Yan Qingwu, then the Unrivaled Bell was the token of love meant for Mu Hongyuan. This bell had also been found in the treasures of the Fire King and was a match for the Innate Yin Yang Skill. It was unknown what materials were used to make it. With a light shake, the bell's sound could break some Illusions. In the game, when given to Mu Hongyuan, the bell would activate special functions, such as removing any negative status in battle, which was very powerful. After the great changes in the world, Mu Hongyuan refined this object into her Lifebound Magical Treasure. This enabled her to perfect the Cultivation Technique she had created and practice it to a Fulfilled peak without any disturbance. The Unrivaled Bell was crucial in this.

But then, as the scene unfolded, a great battle suddenly erupted. In the scene, Mu Hongyuan arrived at the Sword Sect.

What Wang Mu saw of Mu Hongyuan's experiences was quite interesting. She seldom interacted with other prominent women. There were many battles, mostly fought while refining Magic Treasures for the disciples of her Sect, resolving calamities, numbing herself with work, and distracting her yearning with cultivation. She gradually strengthened the Fengyue Sect from behind the scenes.

At one point, a scene showed Mu Hongyuan visiting the Sword Sect. At that time, there was no significant animosity between the Fengyue Sect and the Sword Sect, nor was there any deliberate attempt to ensnare the Sword Sect's disciples. It was during this visit that Mu Hongyuan met with Yan Qingwu for the first time in the name of friendly exchange. The reason was simple: many Demon Caves had appeared in the Huangtian Continent, and an Ancient Ferocious Beast seemed to be wreaking havoc upon the land. As the two leading Sects of the Huangtian Continent, Mu Hongyuan likely wanted to join forces with the Sword Sect to exterminate this monster. Thus, she came to the Sword Sect for the first time, hoping to temporarily set aside their past grievances.

Soon after, she met with Yan Qingwu.

"I don't want to dwell on our past conflicts. Now that Huangtian is in danger, you and I should unite to slay this beast before discussing other matters."

"Okay."

"That sword you have looks familiar. After so many years, why do you still use that one?"

"It was a gift from him, a token of love from back then. Why shouldn't I use it? Your bell has been ringing for hundreds of years, why not change it?"

"..."

"Token of love?"

"When did he make such a vow with you?"

"Long ago. If we must be precise, it was before I met you..."

After a brief dialogue, the atmosphere changed instantly. The two then erupted into a mighty battle!

... Wang Mu was speechless.

Was the Green Frost Sword destroyed like this?

In the scene, the Green Frost Sword plummeted... On the other side, the Unrivaled Bell worn by Mu Hongyuan also slowly fell, losing its spiritual essence...

No wonder when Mu Hongyuan saw me in the Holy Land after I repaired the Green Frost Sword for Yan Qingwu, she looked like she wanted to slaughter me... Wang Mu thought to himself.

The grudges between Yan Qingwu and Mu Hongyuan could be said to have begun at that Flower Viewing Festival. After Wang Mu disappeared and the world underwent great changes, the two had no contact. But over time, they gradually let go of some of their grievances. After all, with him gone, there was nothing more to say. That was, until those tokens of love were brought up...

Without the Unrivaled Bell, Mu Hongyuan's cultivation naturally became more difficult, and it was unknown what kind of pain she endured.

Wang Mu wanted to keep watching when suddenly, a wrathful voice echoed faintly from afar, "Don't look any further!"

Instantly, the image faded.

Far ahead, Wang Mu saw an ancient saber shrouded in Demonic Qi, standing upright in an old, dark Cave.

Shadow Hong Saber... Wang Mu's eyes narrowed.

At this moment, the Shadow Hong Saber was overflowing with Demonic Qi!

After a thousand years, could he, its master, still subdue it?

This feels like it's going to be a bit difficult... Wang Mu sighed inwardly.

The scenery around him changed rapidly, and when he regained clarity, he was back in the square outside the main hall of Fengyue Valley.

He knew Mu Hongyuan must have interfered. This most likely happened because the Shadow Hong Saber had sensed its master's aura. It had also recorded Mu Hongyuan's thousand years of cultivation.

Returning to the square, he saw that many Cultivators had already come back. Unlike the dazed state many had been in during the Magpie Bridge Festival's Three-Life Illusion Realm, countless Cultivators now stood as if petrified. What trials had they faced in the Refining Emotion Cave?

It was like a demon-revealing mirror; any Cultivator entering the Refining Emotion Cave would have their innermost thoughts and knowledge exposed. No matter what thoughts lay hidden in their hearts, they would be brought to light in the Refining Emotion Cave. This was also the Fengyue Sect's method for distinguishing good from evil among these Cultivators, and for determining if they were suitable for their disciples.
