The individual who prevented Ye Zi from using that forbidden technique was exactly Zijing, the former Guardian of the Dominion of Soil. Previously, Zijing had launched a sneak attack on the Primordial Palace together with the Evil Monarch, but Zijing had been seriously injured by the self-destruction of a powerhouse from the Ancient Primordial World. Later, rather than taking advantage of Zijing's vulnerable state, the Evil Monarch secretly sent her back. However, Zijing's injuries were so severe that even after being treated by Ye Zi, she was no longer in a life-threatening condition, but still unable to participate in the subsequent battles.
