In those years, there were two talented disciples in the Heavenly Temple. The two entered the Heavenly Temple together and since they got along well, they developed a very close friendship between them.
But as time passed by, the paths of the two gradually diverged.
The senior brother thought that it was boring and worthless to guard the country for the royal family, that the Heavenly Temple didn't need to rely on the royal family at all. He wanted to forsake the royal family and stand on his own, or subvert the royal family and replace it.
However, the junior brother didn't think this was right.
Therefore, the relationship between them got worse and worse. In the beginning, they talked to each other about almost everything, but little by little, there was nothing left for them to talk about. Whenever they met, they would argue fiercely like enemies.
Finally, one day, the senior brother took action. He persuaded some disciples of the Heavenly Temple to rebel with him.
Of course, in the end, the rebellion was suppressed by the junior brother and his followers. The senior brother lost the fight and ran away, while the junior brothergathered people to give chase. Then they came to a cliff during the chase. Thesenior brother was seriously injured and unable to resist, so he chose to jump from the cliff.
Ordinary people would die if they jumped from a cliff, but if the protagonist or villain jumped, they would always survive with all kinds of opportunities and adventures.
Generally, the protagonist would get a golden finger to survive, such as running into an old man, picking up a peerless sword, obtaining martial arts books, and so on.
Meanwhile, the villains could only meet something eviler in general.
The senior brother met an evil spirit at the bottom of the cliff. He was the valued disciple of the Heavenly Temple and knew that the Heavenly Temple was originally set up to root out evil spirits, so he didn't feel it was strange to meet an evil spirit.
This evil spirit was the Lord King of evil spirits hundreds of years ago. He escaped from the suppression through luck. However, in order to make the Heavenly Temple believe he was dead, he had to spend much cultivation on hiding.
As a result, his strength had never been able to recover, and he could only hide in this deserted place.
The senior brother reached an agreement with the evil spirit for the sake of revenge. He agreed to release the evil spirits suppressed at the Dragon Root, and the spirit promised him that he would be the master of the entire world.
Because at the time the senior brother didn't know where the Dragon Root was, he began to plan. First, he planned to introduce the weakened Lord King into the empress, who was pregnant at that time, allowing the Lord King to share the same body with the prince. In order to avoid discovery, the senior brotherthen sealed the Lord King in an all-around way.
After that, the prophet predicted the prince was the reincarnation of an evil spirit.
Originally, the Lord King wanted to occupy the body of the prince when the boy became mature. But he found it was not easy to do that, as the prince had a firm mind, leaving him no chance to take action.
The Lord King had to wait and wait for a suitable time.
Meanwhile the senior brother went to find the Dragon Root.
It was not until Ming Shu told the prince Shen Ci was dead that the Lord King grasped a chance, but things were far from as simple as he may have thought. He couldn't completely occupy the body of the prince; consequently, he could only share it with the prince.
