To begin, Anji had to understand Bi Yao and Lady Mang Yuan's first meeting.
Long before the Mystical Qilin Sect was founded, Bi Yao was said to be a wandering spell master who travelled the murim and specialised in the occult. She was neither a cultivator nor a martial artist. Her clairvoyance was sometimes treated as a street scam, but she was also very adept with illusionary soul arts. People called her a demon slayer and often paid for her superior exorcism services.
Before the establishment of demonic and orthodox cultivation sects, now known as the murim world, demons and humans coexisted. The war between demons, ghosts and humans was real. It was the existence of demons and ghosts that gave rise to a need for martial arts and soul cultivation. The combination of martial arts and soul cultivation brought forth cultivators who eradicated evil and helped lost souls cross over.
Yet, over time, the origins of cultivation were forgotten in the pursuit of glory and power.
