That being the case, Siming did not stay much longer in the mortal realm. Taking Feng Ji and the Soul-Locking Jade, he hurried back to the Divine Firmament Jade-Qing Palace and handed the Soul-Locking Jade over to his Master for safekeeping.
Why not take it back to Taichen Palace? Because back then, even with Donghua holding court at Taichen Palace, Yan Chiwu had still managed to steal the Soul-Locking Jade, which had led to so many subsequent troubles. Besides, the Emperor was currently undergoing his mortal tribulation with his primordial spirit while his true body remained in seclusion at Taichen Palace; what if the Soul-Locking Jade were to be stolen by the demons from Taichen Palace all over again?
After much deliberation, Siming decided he trusted his Master the most. He wanted his Master to keep it safe until the Emperor returned from his tribulation, at which point it could be sent back to Taichen Palace.
