MIAOYIN JINGJIE (妙隐境界)
Translation: Wondrous Hidden Realm or Mystical Concealment Realm
BACKSTORY OF MIAOYIN JINGJIE
Long before the rise of the current cultivation sects—before the heavens split the mortal world into the realms of spirit and shadow—there existed a realm not born of heaven nor hell. It was a dimension woven from pure intent and spiritual resonance, hidden between planes and untouched by time.
This was the Miaoyin Jingjie, a sacred refuge crafted by an ancient, namelessCelestialSovereign who sought to preserve the balance between destructive power and restorative essence. It became a sanctuary where the most primordial spiritual flora, celestial beasts, and forbidden yet pure knowledge coexisted in harmony—not aligned with good or evil, only potency.
To protect it from corruption by power-seekers, the Sovereign sealed it from reality, erased all traces of its existence, and bound the key to a reincarnating soul—destined to one day balance the heavens and the underworld.
Only Mo Tianzun remembers its existence since he is the one who hid this world from the cave inside on his Vault of Thousand Curses by using a powerful power.

Yun Huayin groaned as his back ached from sleeping on the hard rock beneath him. As he sat up, he gasped in horror at the sight of a gigantic, unicorn-like beast staring down at him.
"Aaaahh!" he screamed, scrambling backward—only to see Lin Xuanji (Mo Tianzun) laughing uncontrollably nearby.
Huayin glared and stormed toward him, jabbing a finger into Xuanji's chest.
"You're mocking me!? Even if you are the great Demon Lord, don't forget—I'm a divine creature too!"
Lin Xuanji rolled his eyes and pulled a small bottle from his sleeve. Huayin's breath hitched.
His eyes widened. "I-Is that… the Nirvana Ghost Poison?" he stammered, tears welling up as he snatched the bottle.
"When... when did you get it?"
"While you were snoring," Xuanji said flatly. "Now stop crying. We have things to do. I need to be at Tianxu Sect tomorrow."
Huayin nodded quickly, still wiping his tears.
They bid farewell to the beast and exited the cave, returning to the Demon Realm. After traversing across realms, they arrived at a hidden sanctuary—a sacred cave where the body of Canglong Shuiyun, Huayin's lover, lay preserved.
Huayin's hands trembled as he reached out to touch the still, serene form of the Water Dragon.
Lin Xuanji spoke, voice steady and commanding. "Give me the talisman—where your beloved's soul is sealed—and the Nirvana Ghost Poison."
Without hesitation, Huayin handed both to him, then held Shuiyun's cold hand tightly.
"For ten thousand years… I've waited. My love… I'll see you alive again," Huayin whispered to Shuiyun's ear.
Xuanji began to chant in an ancient tongue. A massive glowing circle, blue and radiant, formed beneath them. The ritual had begun.
For over an hour, Xuanji recited incantations, weaving the soul from the talisman with the essence of the Nirvana Ghost Poison. Slowly, Shuiyun's body began to glow with divine light.
Huayin stepped back, tears streaming down his face.
Then—
A voice echoed faintly through the air.
"…Where am I?"
Lin Xuanji smiled faintly—mission accomplished.
Yun Huayin gasped in disbelief. "Shuiyun…?"
"Shuiyun!!" he shouted and rushed into his arms.
Still dazed, Shuiyun slowly wrapped his arms around Huayin. Recognition returned to his eyes. He looked up, spotting the unfamiliar man holding the Nirvana Ghost Poison.
"…Love?" Shuiyun murmured, his gaze returning to Huayin.
Huayin giggled through his tears.
They embraced tightly and shared a long, passionate kiss—uncaring of the person watching.
"No public displays of affection," Lin Xuanji muttered under his breath, making both of them laugh.
Once the overwhelming emotions settled, Huayin began explaining everything to Shuiyun—what had happened, the years that passed, and how Xuanji had helped.
Eventually, Lin Xuanji rose to his feet. "I'll take my leave. I need to prepare for tomorrow—the carriage from Yunxiao Sect will arrive to escort me to the Tianxu Sect."
He turned, giving the reunited lovers one last look before disappearing into the night.
For tomorrow, he would step into his new fate—
Becoming one of the future concubines of His Highness, Crown Prince Zhao Longxuanof the Tianxu Sect.
