Hong Yi observed that the injury on Elder Hong Mei seemed to be caused by the Ring Blade, a powerful weapon that made him think of the lost artifact of the king. A Yin, unfamiliar with such things, consulted Fuchen Sword for information about the Annihilation Wheel. Fuchen Sword suggested checking the Heavenly Palace's secret repository, but unfortunately, the repository was protected by barriers, making it impossible for A Yin and the others to enter.

Upon hearing that the Wutong Tree was hidden in the Temple of Military Affairs, Gu Jin used the pretext of having a battle robe tailored to investigate. A Yin personally measured Gu Jin's three dimensions, and the close proximity made Gu Jin uneasy. Before the measurements were complete, he turned and left. The artifact spirits, enthusiastic about gossip, noticed a shift in the relationship between A Yin and Gu Jin. A Yin countered, stating that their hearts were once in harmony, and she didn't understand why Gu Jin suddenly changed.

Listening to A Yin's description, Fuchen Sword suddenly remembered an immortal tool that could extract threads of emotion. A Yin immediately realized the significance. That night, A Yin approached Hong Yi and Yan Shuang, mentioning the tool. The urgent task was to retrieve Gu Jin's emotional threads, but A Yin hesitated to reveal Gu Jin's true identity.

Initially, Hua Shu wanted Emperor Lan Feng to show mercy to her brother, Hua Yan. However, Emperor Lan Feng, unwavering in his principles, believed that their feelings should not be tainted by transactional elements. When Hua Shu returned to the Hall of Merits, Hua Yan urgently sought her, revealing his imminent promotion to Lower Sovereign. Having failed three times before, he hoped to borrow the Xuanwu Shield from the Temple of Military Affairs to resist the heavenly tribulation.

Under Hua Yan's earnest plea, Hua Shu handed him a token to enter the Temple of Military Affairs. She reminded him to take the token quietly and leave in the middle of the night, avoiding trouble. However, when Hua Yan infiltrated the Temple of Military Affairs, he triggered the heavenly tribulation, attracting the attention of A Yin and others. The three joined forces to retrieve the Xuanwu Shield, but the thunder and lightning indiscriminately attacked them.

In a critical moment, Gu Jin appeared, shielding A Yin from the heavenly tribulation without hesitation until it disappeared. A Yin pretended to be weak in Gu Jin's arms, causing him great concern. He hurriedly carried her back to her room, only to find a minor wound on her hand. Although Gu Jin saw through A Yin's act, he patiently stayed by her side. On the other hand, Hong Yi noticed Yan Shuang's injury and calmly handed her a bottle of healing medicine, concealing his worry for her.

Back in the palace, Gu Jin couldn't sleep, his mind filled with thoughts of A Yin's appearance and laughter. Even in his dreams, her figure lingered. The next day, Emperor Lan Feng summoned Hua Shu, expressing anger that she had allowed Hua Yan to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace. According to celestial rules, punishment was necessary. This approach displeased Hua Shu, creating a rift between them.

The previous night, Fuchen Sword transformed into a sword to save A Yin, revealing the patterns of the wutong wood on its body. Under Gu Jin's questioning, Fuchen Sword reluctantly admitted to being a sword made of wutong wood that required nourishment from the Fire Phoenix Immortal Element. Gu Jin used the Yang Flame Seed from Da Ze Mountain to heal Fuchen Sword's injuries, and in gratitude, Fuchen Sword willingly handed over its Immortal Element to Gu Jin.

Now that Hua Yan's promotion had failed, and he faced severe punishment, even Hua Shu wrote a self-accusatory edict. Consequently, King of Peacocks no longer had expectations for Emperor Lan Feng. He advised his daughter to marry the Third Prince of the South Sea, forming an alliance with the Southern faction. Hua Shu, aware of the Third Prince's promiscuous nature, rejected the proposal outright.

Since the retirement of the Cloud Immortal Lord, only the positions of Wind, Fire, and Thunder Immortal Lords remained among the Five Immortal Lords. The position of Cloud Immortal Lord had been vacant, and no one had filled it. These positions were highly esteemed, surpassing all immortals and allowing participation in heavenly discussions with the Heavenly Emperor. Hua Shu aimed to fight for this position with Emperor Lan Feng. However, Emperor Lan Feng insisted on a fair election without favoritism.

A Yin, recalling Fuchen Sword's words, speculated that the matter of emotional threads was likely related to Hong Chou. Coincidentally, Hong Chou encountered A Yin in the Celestial Realm, worrying that her close association with Gu Jin might lead to feelings. Thus, he warned her again. However, A Yin expressed her genuine affection for Gu Jin, regardless of whether he was human, god, or immortal. She believed Gu Jin wouldn't care about social status, unlike Hong Chou, who was born in the Divine Realm and lived with petty calculations and no divine aura.

Hearing the conversation between A Yin and Hong Chou, Hua Shu realized Gu Jin's true identity, shocked and intrigued. Despite her emotional inclination towards Emperor Lan Feng, she needed a husband who could help revitalize her family. Disappointed by Emperor Lan Feng's impartiality, she decided to please Hong Chou and renew her ties with Gu Jin. Hong Chou, seeing through Hua Shu's intentions, decided to use her to make A Yin retreat.
