Divine Destiny – Angelababy, Ma Tianyu

Tens of thousands of years ago, in the immortal realm, the boundary patrol immortal responsible for inspecting the four realms enlightened a piece of green stone by the side of the Milky Way, turning it into a fairy named Qing Shi Xian. Due to a mistake, Qing Shi Xian escaped from the celestial prison along with a powerful demon. Eventually, both Qing Shi Xian and the boundary patrol immortal were punished and reincarnated into the mortal world.

Before descending to the mortal world, Qing Shi Xian gifted a piece of green fairy stone to the boundary patrol immortal and made a pact that after ten thousand years, they would return to the immortal realm together, using the green stone as a token. As the ten thousand years approached, the exiled immortal took the form of a wealthy young man named Luo Feng and, recalling the pact with Qing Shi Xian, set out to find him, who had taken the form of Gu Qing. However, during an incident of robbery and murder at an inn outside the city, Luo Feng, the exiled immortal, met an unexpected accident and fell off a cliff.

Ji Ruochen, a waiter at the inn, mistakenly wore the green fairy stone pendant of the exiled immortal by a twist of fate and was mistakenly identified as the exiled immortal by various factions in the world. The major sects fought each other to recruit Ji Ruochen as their disciple. In the chaos, Zhang Yinyin, a female disciple of the Xixuan Sect, arrived in time to rescue Ji Ruochen. When the two were trapped, the Sect Master of the Xixuan Sect, Ziwei Zhenren, came out of seclusion in advance and saved them.

Ji Ruochen, who had aspired to become a strong cultivator since childhood, concealed the secret of the green fairy stone and chose to join the Xixuan Sect. Due to his mediocre aptitude, Ji Ruochen faced suspicion from the masters of the various sects within the Xixuan Sect. Fortunately, at a critical moment, the green stone on Ji Ruochen's chest recognized him as its master, and with Zhang Yinyin's help in concealing the truth, Ji Ruochen finally passed one test after another. Ziwei Zhenren not only gifted his own Qingying Immortal Sword to Ji Ruochen but also...

Zhang Yinyin flew over and not only helped him drive away the Cloud-Splitting Evil Beast but also brought several suitable scriptures for Ji Ruochen's cultivation from the Scripture Pavilion. Under Zhang Yinyin's encouragement, Ji Ruochen worked diligently in his cultivation, but there was still a significant gap between his progress and the status of the exiled immortal. When the Qingyun Ranking, which represented the strength of the Xixuan disciples, was announced, Ji Ruochen, relying on his identity as the exiled immortal, surpassed Zhang Yinyin and claimed the first place.

Zhang Yinyin was not pleased and had originally intended to challenge Ji Ruochen to determine who was better. However, on their way to the training grounds, they encountered an easily passable iron chain that other disciples effortlessly walked over. Ignoring the danger and the mockery, Ji Ruochen persisted and climbed across the iron chain. His determined figure reminded Zhang Yinyin of her own pursuit of fellow disciples in the past, and her anger subsided significantly. But unable to resist the urge to teach Ji Ruochen a lesson, Zhang Yinyin intentionally played a trick on him with a spiritual talisman while riding her sword. Unexpectedly, the sword went out of control and struck the treasured gourd of Purple Sun Zhenren, causing a calamity.

Meanwhile, by the cliff near the inn, the true immortal who had fallen down was saved by the Sect Master of Qingxu Sect and became a disciple of the sect, taking the name Yin Feng. Qingxu harbored deep hatred towards Xixuan Sect and, upon seeing Yin Feng resurrected, started instigating him to seek revenge against Xixuan. Upon learning that Ji Ruochen was wearing his green fairy stone and had replaced him as the exiled immortal within the Xixuan Sect, Yin Feng concluded that Ji Ruochen was the murderer who attacked him at the inn.

Ji Ruochen couldn't bear to see Zhang Yinyin being punished and secretly brought various delicacies to Tianxin Cave to visit her. While having a heart-to-heart talk in Tianxin Cave, Ji Ruochen learned about the personality traits of the masters from the various sects within the Xixuan Sect. From then on, Ji Ruochen fully utilized the competitive nature of the sect masters, resulting in gaining the true teachings of each sect and progressing in his cultivation at an increasingly fast pace.

The female disciple from Danyuan Palace, Hanyan, pretended to help Ji Ruochen master the secret techniques of Danyuan Palace under the pretext of assisting him. She set a trap to seduce Ji Ruochen and keep him in Danyuan Palace for cultivation. Fortunately, Zhang Yinyin heard the news and rushed over to rescue Ji Ruochen, freeing him from the trap. When Zhang Yinyin questioned the relationship between Ji Ruochen and Hanyan, they were attacked by a mysterious faceless person and fell into a mountain stream in the back mountain.

As the faceless person's power was unfathomable and closing in step by step, Ji Ruochen, from the green fairy stone on his chest, comprehended the disintegration technique of immortals. After disintegrating the precious treasure of Xixuan Sect, the Wenwang Mountain and River Cauldron, Ji Ruochen used the power of this treasure to defeat the faceless person and escape with Zhang Yinyin. Afterwards, Ziyang Zhenren did not blame Ji Ruochen for destroying the precious treasure of Xixuan Sect. Instead, he warned Ji Ruochen not to mention this matter to anyone else, as it would incur the punishment of the master.

Mingyun and Mingxin, out of jealousy, deliberately instigated Zhang Yinyin to challenge Ji Ruochen in a private sword-fighting match at the Blade-Forging Peak. While waiting for Ji Ruochen, it started to rain, and when Zhang Yinyin attempted to use spiritual talismans to shield herself from the rain, it only brought forth a stronger downpour. In an attempt to seek shelter from the rain, Zhang Yinyin inadvertently entered the forbidden area of Xixuan Sect, the Zhenxin Hall, and disappeared without a trace.

After entering the Zhenxin Hall, Zhang Yinyin discovered the celestial fox, Su Xuan, who had been sealed by the Demon-Sealing Stone. Zhang Yinyin finally recalled that when she was a child, she had been lured to the Zhenxin Hall by Su Xuan. Su Xuan had nurtured a demonic plant inside her body, which was the reason why the poison within her would act up every full moon. It was because of this poison that she had put in extra effort into her cultivation.

When Ji Ruochen searched for Zhang Yinyin in the Zhenxin Hall, he was suddenly confronted by Su Xuan, who was imprisoned in the underground palace of the Zhenxin Hall. Su Xuan wanted to keep Zhang Yinyin and have her transform into a demon, inheriting her legacy. After Zhang Yinyin refused, Su Xuan immediately launched an attack on Ji Ruochen and Zhang Yinyin. In the moment when Ji Ruochen risked his life to protect Zhang Yinyin, Su Xuan recognized Ji Ruochen's true identity as a pseudo-exiled immortal. However, due to the mysterious blue flame contained within Ji Ruochen's body, Su Xuan ultimately let them go.

Outside the Zhenxin Hall, Ji Ruochen promised to keep the secret of the demonic plant and then used fragments of the Demon-Sealing Stone, which had sealed Su Xuan, to make a bracelet. He placed it on Zhang Yinyin's wrist, hoping to use the power of the Demon-Sealing Stone to suppress the demonic poison within her. This was the true reason why he had fought desperately to approach Su Xuan within the Zhenxin Hall.

Soon after, the annual examination of the Xixuan Sect began. With the immense power he obtained from the disintegration technique, Ji Ruochen defeated one fellow disciple after another, finally proving his reputation as a pseudo-exiled immortal. However, in the final match against Zhang Yinyin, Ji Ruochen deliberately held back his strength and lost, helping Zhang Yinyin fulfill her dream of achieving the first place in the examination. Zhang Yinyin gradually developed feelings for Ji Ruochen.

Gu Qing mentioned the "Hundred Generations' Covenant," and Ji Ruochen knew that Gu Qing had mistaken someone else for him but could only pretend not to know. After Zhang Yinyin learned that Ji Ruochen had secretly met with Gu Qing, she became extremely jealous and came to confront him. Dissatisfied with Ji Ruochen's explanation, the always competitive Zhang Yinyin sought out Gu Qing to settle the matter. Fortunately, Ji Ruochen arrived in time to stop Zhang Yinyin.

Gu Qing used his celestial arts in an attempt to make Ji Ruochen remember their agreement to return to the immortal realm together, but Ji Ruochen showed no reaction. Luo Xichen, the childhood friend and sweetheart of Ji Ruochen's sister, Yin Feng, discovered that Yin Feng had gone missing from the inn outside the city walls. She sought the guidance of Guoshi Sun Guo to find Yin Feng's whereabouts. After calculating Yin Feng's past and present lives, Sun Guo informed Luo Xichen that Yin Feng had died and that someone had been impersonating his name as a pseudo-exiled immortal while practicing in the Xixuan Mountains. Following Sun Guo's advice, Luo Xichen deliberately approached King Li An of the Haofang Kingdom, hoping to leverage the power of the court to seek revenge for Yin Feng.

The true pseudo-exiled immortal, Yin Feng, gradually regained his immortal power and arrived at the Xixuan Mountains as a disciple of the Qingxu Sect to witness the grand examination. Yin Feng found Ji Ruochen and questioned him about the truth behind the inn massacre. Ji Ruochen explained that there was someone else responsible for Yin Feng's attempted assassination and that he was mistakenly recognized as the pseudo-exiled immortal due to wearing the green stone. Yin Feng naturally didn't believe him and attacked Ji Ruochen until Gu Qing arrived to intervene. Gu Qing mistook Ji Ruochen for the true pseudo-exiled immortal and treated himself as a stranger, causing deep pain for Yin Feng.

Upon learning that the sect leader intended to arrange a marriage between Ji Ruochen and Gu Qing, Zhang Yinyin challenged Gu Qing to a duel once again. Unexpectedly, after a devastating defeat, the heartbroken Zhang Yinyin went to the Zhenxin Hall and sought to become a disciple of the celestial fox, Su Yu. She decided to learn demonic arts to defeat Gu Qing's celestial arts. Although Su Yu warned Zhang Yinyin that once she practiced demonic arts, she would eventually transform into a demon, and there would be no place for her on the Xixuan Mountains, Zhang Yinyin paid no heed and ultimately became Su Yu's disciple, starting to learn Su Yu's secret celestial fox techniques.

Following the sect's orders to protect and bless the people by eradicating demons in Haofang, Ji Ruochen searched extensively for Zhang Yinyin but couldn't find her. Eventually, Ji Ruochen decided to leave the mountain alone. On his way to Haofang, Ji Ruochen learned that the mortal enemies of the Xixuan Sect had set up traps to ambush and kill him along the road to Haofang. To avoid his enemies, Ji Ruochen disguised himself and traveled discreetly.

Soon, while resting, Ji Ruochen unexpectedly encountered a group of demon hunters chasing a severely wounded little demon. Unable to bear the suffering of the little demon, Ji Ruochen intervened and saved it. As a result, Ji Ruochen's whereabouts were exposed, and his enemies began to chase him relentlessly. The little demon introduced itself as Qingyi, claiming to come from the Tianxing Mountain, and begged Ji Ruochen to take her along to Haofang so she could experience the prosperity of the mortal world. Helpless, Ji Ruochen reluctantly agreed.

Meanwhile, upon learning that Ji Ruochen had headed to Haofang, Gu Qing disregarded his master's obstruction and also left the Xixuan Mountains to catch up. As Ji Ruochen and Qingyi evaded their pursuers from the Xixuan Sect, Zhang Yinyin unexpectedly appeared and helped Ji Ruochen shake off the pursuers.
