Before leaving, Han Yanyao had told Jun Wuyi that if Jun Wuyi was able to break into the Spirit Mystic then the two of them might have a chance of being together. At that time, Jun Wuyi wasn't even thinking about making the leap to Spirit Mystic since he was only half-way through the Gold Mystic! The distance between Gold Mystic and Spirit Mystic was no lesser than the distance between the Earth and the Heavens.
In the two years that followed, the Jun Family suffered several defeats in the Heavenly Scent monarchy's expeditions and Jun Wuyi's both elder Brothers, Jun Wuhui, and Jun Wumeng passed away, along with countless faithful soldiers of the Jun Family. Under these circumstances, Jun Wuyi was asked to take charge, and unwilling to accept defeat under such harsh circumstances, he ended up getting crippled.
