At the final moment of the battle at the Ghost King Mausoleum, Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng silently sacrificed their own souls in an attempt to protect Shen Qinghe, but the power of the Samadhi Divine Fire was too overwhelming, and even with their souls offered up, they could not shield Shen Qinghe.
In the end, it was Shen Qinghe who exhausted her divine power, shattered her divine body, her divine form turning into myriad snowflakes, obliterating the Samadhi Divine Fire.
Before losing consciousness, Shen Qinghe still remembered the scene of Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng protecting her with their lives. Not fond of owing others, she wrapped up a wisp of their remnant souls, leaving them a thread of life.
And she, having dispersed her cultivation base, with her soul utterly extinguished, merged with heaven and earth.
When she regained her spiritual sense, she was an ungerminated seed. She knew there was someone who would come to her side every day, watering her occasionally.
