Since Donghua ascended to the heavenly realm, Xianshan, as the head disciple, officially took charge of the Great Ze Mountain. Although Gu Jin had become an elder, his reputation had plummeted since the failure of Feng Yin's Nirvana on Wutong Island. The criticisms focused on his allegedly stubborn nature and weak immortal power. Initially, Hua Shu disregarded Gu Jin, ignoring his letters. However, when she found out that the Heaven-Shrouding Umbrella became Gu Jin's artifact, she saw an opportunity for a scheme. The arrival of Hua Shu disrupted the tranquility, and despite the passing years, Gu Jin still harbored admiration for her. Hua Shu, still as beautiful as ten years ago, bore a subtle expression of worry and weariness. She revealed that conflicts between the Peacock Tribe and the Eagle Tribe were escalating, putting Bai Niao Island on the brink of peril. She hoped Gu Jin could use the Heaven-Shrouding Umbrella to help the tribe through this crisis.

Witnessing Hua Shu's sincere expression and plea, Gu Jin couldn't bear to refuse. However, just as he was about to agree, A Yin hurriedly ran over and stood in his way. Claiming the status of a junior disciple, A Yin asserted that the Heaven-Shrouding Umbrella was left by Donghua to protect Gu Jin's life. She obstructed Gu Jin from softening and giving away the umbrella, embarrassing him in front of Hua Shu. Due to this incident, Gu Jin, angered, cast a spell to punish A Yin, making her run around the courtyard late at night. Qing Yi helped Gu Jin collect biographies of famous immortal beasts in the Three Realms. A Yin aimed to learn about the relationship between masters and servants from these stories, especially the advice that one should not confront their master directly. This advice enlightened A Yin.

Early the next morning, A Yin, limping, came to find Gu Jin. Following the principle of not being confrontational and catering to his preferences, she specially prepared green bean cakes for him, leaving Gu Jin amazed. The two bid farewell to Xianshan, preparing to search for celestial essences. Xianshan reminded Gu Jin to go to the Demon World first. Hong Yi, as the rare Ten-Tailed Celestial Fox in a millennium, had not only successfully passed through the Gate of Life and Death but also needed to refine a weapon in the Black Marsh Pool of the Third Realm to recover the Annihilation Wheel left by his father. Zhuiying was ordered to guide Hong Yi into the Nine Abyss, and Qinglin wanted to use Hong Yi for her own purposes. However, Hong Yi, injured, hid under the Wutong tree in the southeast, making it difficult for Qinglin to approach.

Gu Jin and A Yin flew toward the Immortal-Demon Boundary and soon reached the deepest part of the Second Realm, which was also the resting place of the Fox Demon Clan. Unaffected by the allure of the Fox Clan, they easily met the Demon King Hong Ruo and straightforwardly explained their purpose. The Quiet Secluded Valley was the sacred place where the Fox Clan nurtured their young foxes, so the Fox Clan strongly opposed the idea. Hong Ruo guessed that Gu Jin's background was not simple and said that if he could find her missing nephew, she would agree to let him enter the Quiet Secluded Valley. Coincidentally, the celestial essences of the Fire Phoenix were also scattered in the Purple Moon Mountain. Gu Jin and A Yin readily agreed, promising to bring back Hong Yi within a year. During this time, A Yin was curious about the differences in the Purple Moon Mountain. Gu Jin explained that it used to be under the jurisdiction of the Emperor's Consort, and the artifact Purple Moon was the source of power for the entire Demon World. It also had a powerful protective barrier that would tear apart anyone who intruded without permission. Before leaving, Gu Jin encountered Hua Shu being besieged by the Eagle Tribe princess Yan Shuang. He rushed to help and, after learning that Hua Shu was injured, took her to a nearby inn to rest. Taking advantage of A Yin going to get medicine, he secretly cast a spell to make A Yin lose her way. Unable to bear seeing Hua Shu harmed, especially after hearing her intentions to marry for the sake of Bai Niao Island's peace, Gu Jin impulsively took out the Heaven-Shrouding Umbrella and gave it to Hua Shu.

A Yin got lost outside the inn and, in a panic, called Gu Jin's name. Gu Jin used the master-servant contract to keep A Yin waiting while he gave the umbrella to Hua Shu. As a result, Hua Shu spoke disrespectfully to A Yin, mocking her lowly servant status and leaving A Yin sulking inside the room. Purple Moon Mountain had three fire dragons guarding its gate, making Gu Jin no match for them. Fortunately, the Water Nymph Beast Bi Bo appeared in time to intervene. The three fire dragons transformed into human forms, addressing Bi Bo as Gu Jin's nephew. They invited them in and explained that there were no traces of the Fox Clan in the mountain. Bi Bo, upon hearing that Gu Jin intended to find the ancient Wutong, showed fear and reluctance, only revealing that the Wutong tree was located in the Nine Abyss Death Prison.
