Li jie became yuan xizia, who is a softy so he was feeling emotional and started crying, remembering his master…
what i understood is that Li jie went back to live his own past of 150 years ago. remember that he does not remember his past.
He went inside his own body. He is Yuan xizia.
He was a weak boy and his brother whenbthey were teens forced hin to eat demon marrow hence where he get his strength and long life from.
But his twin he met at that camp was not his real twin "No misfortune " but the butterfly demon " Nothing gained"
This is what Bai ze said when he is seeing what had taken place.
the biterfly demon had met his twin and taken something from him in order to wear his skin. as explain by Chi Wen in episode 6-7. some year after, the twin brother of Lie Jie/ Yuan xizia did return to the sect where he grew old.
Yuan xizia having lost his memory goes to the sect years later and is given the name of life jie.
