In the realm of the dead, where the soul's journey has no end, Xiu Yan, leaning against a withered tree, listened to the song of Little Ghost Sovereign, welcoming a familiar figure seen nearly a hundred times. A Yin, having returned from the tribulations, complained about her current life in the royal family, unable to suppress the declining fortune. When she glanced at a corner of the water mirror, she noticed the White Robed God with an extraordinary demeanor, his forehead knitted with sorrow. Little Ghost Sovereign, in a moment of impulsiveness, revealed the love and hatred between the White Robed God and the Female Immortal Monarch, causing chaos in the immortal realm due to her infidelity with the Fox Clan's Demon King. A Yin, finding the emotional tale somewhat insincere, bluntly stated that if she were the Female Immortal Monarch, she would choose never to meet him again. Unexpectedly, the White Robed God appeared at this moment without warning. Xiu Yan had already cast A Yin into the Forget River, beginning a new cycle of tribulations. The White Robed God inquired about A Yin's identity, and Xiu Yan denied it once again. Although he didn't fully believe, he still anticipated a reunion day, worth waiting for no matter how long it took.

A thousand years ago, the Nine Provinces and Eight Wilderness gathered the three realms of immortals, demons, and spirits. The ancient divine realm was revered, and the True God Emperor sacrificed himself. Since then, the grudges between immortals and demons temporarily ceased, and the war halted. Feng Yuan, as both the Phoenix Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor, ruled the immortal realm. The tranquil Wutong Island was about to witness a joyous event—the birth of the second Fire Phoenix. Feng Ran announced a grand feast, inviting all the gods to celebrate. Since the creation of the world by the Ancestor God, a phoenix was born only to perish, signifying the first occurrence of two phoenixes simultaneously. Donghua, the head of the Great Ze Mountain, speculated that Feng Yuan might be announcing the succession of the phoenix duty to the young Fire Phoenix. Considering the bond between his disciple Gu Jin and the young Fire Phoenix, Donghua arranged for him to represent the Great Ze Mountain at the feast. Meanwhile, Gu Jin was at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, competing for a wine pot with Ling Feng, a disciple of the Wanyi Mountain, willing to sacrifice two hundred years of cultivation. Gu Jin's nephew Qingyun urgently sought him out, finding him in a drunken stupor. He decided to carry Gu Jin back to the sect to meet Donghua.

Idle Shan, a new disciple of Great Ze Mountain, accompanied by his master, came to see Donghua. Satisfied with the disciple, Donghua gave him the immortal title Qing Yi, warning him not to follow the misdeeds of his senior Gu Jin. Just as he finished speaking, Qingyun arrived carrying the drunken Gu Jin. While Donghua shook his head at the absurdity, he allowed Qing Yi to accompany Gu Jin to the feast for knowledge. During the event, Qing Yi learned about the rumors of the divine realm through Qingyun, finding it full of longing and mystery, unlike the disdain shown by Gu Jin. Among the three realms, only Donghua and his disciples, Idle Shan and Qing Yi, knew the true origin of Gu Jin. Originally the son of Yihe, he was once a true god but lost his divine power, sent to the mortal realm by the Mother Goddess for training. On the other side, the boundary around the Fire Phoenix in the Wutong Tree loosened. Feng Yin, after transforming into human form, witnessed the prosperity of Wutong Island as her first sight of the world and was eager to join the excitement. In this well-known feast, participants included not only the immortal realm but also the demon tribe, with Fox King Hong Ruo and his nephew Hong Yi in attendance.

Hong Ruo intended to form a marriage alliance with the Phoenix tribe, choosing Feng Yin as his niece-in-law. He even brought the betrothal gifts he personally made. The other immortals were shocked and looked down on the demon tribe, thinking they were overestimating their abilities to climb to the immortal realm. Hong Yi, unable to tolerate, decided to leave. Coincidentally, he encountered Gu Jin face-to-face and, seeing Gu Jin and others in a sorry state, looked down on them even more. All the immortals took their seats, with the Peacock King Hua Mo bringing his daughter Hua Shu. Hua Shu's beauty attracted the attention of young male immortals, while the female immortals whispered, belittling Hua Shu as a second-rate sect, even with the peacock jade ornament. Compared to the true god's Fire Phoenix, Hua Shu, born as the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, could only be considered a beautiful immortal. Feng Yin, hiding in a corner, couldn't understand why they competed over family background when freedom was what she longed for. At this moment, in the Nine Abyss Purgatory, the Demon Lord Qinglin sent Zhaoying to seize the Fire Phoenix jade during the Fire Phoenix's birth, taking the opportunity to kill the young phoenix.

Gu Jin, accidentally entering the back garden, overheard Ling Feng and the female immortal gossiping about their parents. In anger, he stepped forward to argue but was insulted and beaten by the female immortal. Feng Yin, standing behind a screen, watched the two confrontations, hoping Gu Jin would gain the upper hand. Unfortunately, Gu Jin was helpless, and she used magic to subdue him, giving him a good lesson. The female immortal, noticing the red skirt behind the screen, mistook her for the Peacock Princess Hua Shu, just as Hua Shu passed by. Feng Yin hurriedly left, and her act of saving the hero was falsely credited to Hua Shu. Gu Jin, sincerely grateful to her, offered to retrieve the Fire Phoenix jade as a reward. Originally, Zhaoying planned to seize the Fire Phoenix jade but discovered that Gu Jin's blood could break the barrier, unexpectedly causing Feng Yin's celestial essence to dissipate. Sensing the anomaly, Feng Yuan, along with other immortals, rushed to the scene, but it was already too late. The Soul Lamp couldn't sense any trace of Feng Yin's breath, fearing that she had been torn apart and fallen into the turbulent flow of time and space. The Phoenix tribe's immortals were furious, demanding severe punishment for Gu Jin, but Feng Yuan, aware of Gu Jin's background, hesitated to make a decision.
