== Story ==
===Volume 8===
She was the Undying Willow who appeared in the Dark Forest side in the Spirit World who ended being defeated by Long Chen when she intervened in his fight against Peng Wansheng but that was only due to the divine soil and Li Qi and Song Mingyuan's help (via the Heaven Sealing Earth Locking Killing Formation). After that he handed the capturer Undying Willow to Chu Yao for her to refine.
Chu Yao originally wanted to act according to his instructions. However, when her soul had entered the Undying Willow's seed to refine it, she found that even in this seed form, the Undying Willow was extremely tough. It refused to submit and fought back against her. She failed three times to refine the seed. But although she had failed three times, she managed to peer into the things deep in the soul of the Undying Willow.
It was a seed that came from a demon spirit world. It was planted in the Dark Forest and relied on the life energy of the World Trees to grow. In truth, in all its life, it was only viewed as a chess piece. It gradually matured in its spot. However, the Undying Willow also knew that it was nothing more than a chess piece. Once it matured, it would have to return to the demon spirit world and work. It was full of loneliness. It felt disgust for life, because the fate of its life had already been set in stone without it having a say. According to reason, the Undying Willow race wouldn't have such a profound intelligence, spirit, or emotion. Perhaps it was because it had been infected by the aura of the Forest of Life, which led to it feeling more emotions.
When Chu Yao had seen its inner heart, she had suddenly thought of her own fate in the Phoenix Cry Empire. Many parts of her fate were quite similar to the Undying Willow's. In the end, Chu Yao hadn't managed to harden her heart and kill it. Due to seeing the hidden emotions in the Undying Willow's heart, she ended up feeling sympathy for it. In the end, she promised not to harm it and released it so it could return to the demon spirit world. But due to Chu Yao entering its soul, the Undying Willow also saw through Chu Yao's heart. 
Chu Yao had come out of seclusion a few days ago to release the Undying Willow. But unexpectedly, after obtaining its freedom, the Undying Willow activated an ancient contractual agreement and willingly became her protector. This protector contract made it so that their souls were connected. The two of them could share each other's powers and lives. This move from the Undying Willow caught Chu Yao off guard, but she was also extremely moved. With their souls connected, they both knew what the other was thinking. The two of them were like one person. The Undying Willow had become Chu Yao's contractual protector. It rested in Chu Yao's life space but could come out to the real world whenever it wished.
=== Volume 9 ===
