The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

How could they not know that Yan Ge had died? This was a secret that everyone from the previous generation had agreed to take to their graves together!

This was a major tragedy in the cultivation world, and even more so in Miaohua Continent and Nine Swords Mountain!

Yan Ge, Yun Mo, and Rong Yue went to the outer circle together, hoping to find the Xuan You Grass to unlock the fatal flaw in the second half of the "Sword God Technique".

Unfortunately, Yan Ge died outside the circle.

Rong Yue, once hailed as the "Number One Divine Cultivator in the Cultivation World," did not hesitate to fall into the Ghost Path and become an evil cultivator!

He slaughtered most of the cultivators and civilians, using their souls... to defy fate and resurrect Yan Ge!

In the final battle to annihilate Rong Yue, Rong Yue, a Nascent Soul cultivator, actually fought against a Mahayana cultivator, causing heavy losses to the ten major sects of Miaohua Continent.

It was only through Yan Ge's personal intervention that the arrest was successful.

When the trial proceedings began, Judge Chung pronounced Rong Yue's death sentence.

Yan Ge, the arrogant and overbearing leader of the elite, even knelt down for his disciple! He offered everything he had as collateral to save Rong Yue's life.

This incident nearly ruined Nine Swords Mountain's reputation, removing it from the list of the top ten sects. If it weren't for the Tantric sect stepping in to protect Nine Swords Mountain... Nine Swords Mountain would have been smashed to pieces by now amidst the storm!

Everyone looked rather grim.

Back then, Yan Ge was so upright and honorable, the most outstanding talent in the world, unparalleled in the world!

If it weren't for that incident... Yan Ge would definitely have become the next Tribulation Transcending Realm expert in Miaohua Continent!

All the losses from that incident are still vivid in their minds... Now, when they talk about it, they can only describe their feelings as mixed.

Chong Shuai froze, speechless.

Even Puning subconsciously wanted to speak up and dissuade Chi Miao: "Chi Miao... this is not the time to bring this up."

This incident was a huge blow to Miaohuazhou, especially since everyone here was someone who personally experienced it back then.

Bringing up this matter will only lead Chi Miao astray from her goals.

Someone snorted coldly:

"The Rongyue incident is already a done deal, why bring it up again? Don't you think this is bad enough? Miaohua Prefecture has already been magnanimous in forgiving your Nine Swords Mountain, how can you say you owe them anything?!"

"This fact is a stain on Nine Swords Mountain's reputation. Are you trying to whitewash it? Back then... no one can forget the losses! Not pursuing the matter is already giving Nine Swords Mountain a great deal of face!"

Everyone held a negative attitude towards Chi Miao bringing up this matter.

After listening, Chi Miao remained silent for a moment before raising the corners of his mouth in a half-smile and speaking: "When did I ever say I wanted to clear my name?"

Her gaze fell on Wenren Yin, who was about to be judged.

"If we've never smeared anything, how can we talk about whitewashing?"

"I simply want to openly and honestly reveal the truth of what happened back then and tell everyone!"

Before anyone could object, Chi Miao shouted, "Mirror Spirit!!"

Suddenly, a pretty little girl appeared in everyone's sight.

Her aura was mysterious yet familiar, and everyone could recognize her.

"The Mirror of Rebirth?"

The fact that the Mirror of Rebirth gave birth to a spirit and formed a contract with Chi Miao is common knowledge.

But this was the first time they had ever seen a Mirror Spirit.

The Mirror Spirit arrogantly raised its chin and snorted twice, then spread its palms, which emitted a strange light!

Suddenly, a layer of sword energy appeared all around. This sword energy was powerful and revealed an overbearing force of unwillingness!

A soul appeared in the center of the light! The man had disheveled long hair and exuded a powerful aura of killing intent. Even more unbelievable was that when he spread his hands, five small balls appeared in his palm.

Everyone's pupils contracted:

"Golden Cores?! Five Golden Cores?!"

"Five golden pills... Could this person be the Pill King?!"

Hearing this, the dejected man slowly raised his head and gave a bitter smile:

"I never imagined that after so many years, someone would still remember this name... I can die without regrets."

"That's right! I am the Pill King!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gasped.

"The Pill King... is he at the Golden Core stage?!"

That miraculous Dan King.

He died at the Golden Core stage?!

"Oh God! Heaven is jealous of talent! Heaven is jealous of talent!"

"No...it's not that the heavens are jealous of talent, his spiritual power...he's a cultivator with five spiritual roots!"

"Yes, judging from his condition, he didn't seem to have died prematurely; rather, it seemed like he died at the end of his life... This, the legendary Pill King, was only at the Golden Core stage?!"

In an instant, their idealized image of Dan Wang shattered completely, and some of his fans, unwilling to accept the fact, even burst into tears on the spot.

"Even the legend of the Pill King is fake! Then what is real?! What is real?!"

King Dan left behind a good reputation after his death.

Now that he has appeared, all the deification he has received has been utterly reduced to ashes and vanished into thin air.

King Dan didn't know whether to laugh or cry; he just suddenly felt very melancholy.

He was ambitious and arrogant in his lifetime... believing that cultivators with five spiritual roots were not inferior to those with only one spiritual root.

But in the end, he could only reach the Golden Core stage.

I never expected that later generations would deify him. It's good that he's come out now... It's good that he's come out now.

This is a lie; a sinner like him...does not deserve the world's praise.

"Yes, I am at the Golden Core stage, and I will only ever be at the Golden Core stage until I die!"

"In my lifetime, I considered myself superior to all, and I spent my whole life striving to prove that my five spiritual roots, which were considered worthless, were no less valuable than those prodigies!"

"Heaven has bestowed upon me extraordinary comprehension, enabling me to easily surpass everyone in sword practice and create countless techniques beyond my current level of understanding. However... I am unable to resolve my fundamental issues."

"I'm not just a Golden Core cultivator! In my previous life, I was merely an insignificant nobody at Nine Swords Mountain who could never even enter the outer sect!!!"

These words shocked everyone once again.

"ah???"

They looked at Chong Shuai in disbelief: "Nine Swords Mountain, you...?"

Hidden so deeply?!

The legendary Pill King couldn't even get into the outer sect of your Nine Swords Mountain?

Nine Swords Mountain is really impressive! What... does your outer sect have gold?!

Chong Shuai: "No, what does that have to do with me? I wasn't the sect leader back then, how would I know! I probably wasn't even born yet!"

He wiped his junior brother's butt, and that was one thing—wiping the butts of both his junior brother and his disciple.

How come he's now even in charge of our ancestors' backsides?!

What, is he the king of wiping butts? Was he born to wipe other people's butts?

On the other side, Dan Wang shook his head and continued speaking:

"I have two great regrets in my life. The first is that I failed to become the person I wanted to be. I died without proving that my five spiritual roots were not useless, and I even almost exploded because the five elemental spiritual powers could not coexist..."

"And secondly, I only realized this after I died, only understood it after I died! It made me lose even the courage to enter the cycle of reincarnation! I'm afraid... on the path of reincarnation, my fellow disciples, nephews, and grand-disciples will blame me! They'll curse me!"

"It's my fault, blame me... Why was I so foolish back then, falling prey to the machinations of villains and nearly causing the annihilation of Nine Swords Mountain!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his sword, pointing it at Wen Renyin. His whole body trembled with hatred, and he roared with a contorted face:

"Wenren Yin! You are the root of all this!!"
