Time flew by, and half a year later.

Flowing west, descending south past Stone Bend, amidst the misty rain, there stood an ethereal peak.

It was called Emperor's Step.

No one knew.

Atop Emperor's Step Peak, there was a hermitage, the most mysterious place in the Martial World—Mercy Sailing Silent Temple.

Inside the Silent Temple, within a secret chamber, Fan Qinghui looked haggard, her stunning beauty marred by hardships, with strands of white starting to show at her temples, revealing the immense pressure she had been under and the energy she had expended during this time.

Seeing her worn-out appearance, Shi Feixuan felt heartache yet powerless, "Why must you endure such suffering?"

"I am the Head of Mercy Sailing Silent Temple, I cannot let it down."
