After the revolt of Pil-Jae Lee, Hea-Wol lived in hiding at the Yongwol, backwoods village. He prepared for restoration of the Donghak religious body during his stay in the village. For the first time, Hea-Wol was sorry he had joined the revolt of Pil-Jae Lee. Hae-Wol realized that religious unity must be spiritual unity first, so he went to Jeogjoam Temple and studied with the Donghak leaders, concentrating on spiritual training. After his training, he felt renewed and moved to Danyang Province. During this time the wife of his teacher Su-un died, as did his two sons. Hae-Wol performed the ritual formalities for the memorial ceremony and through that began the restoration of the Donghak religious body. Youngwol, Jeongsoen, and Danyang are very important Provinces in the restoration of the religious body in the early Donghak history.
