Si Yin persuades Ling Yu to come with her to Qingqiu to join in the fun at a celebration. She takes Ling Yu there through a shortcut, but they are intercepted by the Ghost Tribe, and the Ghost Lord insists on bringing them back to the Great Ziming Palace.

Qing Cang sends out an invitation for the Acknowledgment Ceremony of Ling Yu becoming his godson to humiliate Mount Kunlun. Si Yin, who has become friends with Li Jing, gets tricked into admitting that she is a woman to him. Mo Yuan then goes to the Ghost Realm to save Ling Yu and Si Yin but is encountered by the Ghost Tribe.

Li Jing goes to see Si Yin at Mount Kunlun only to be chased out by Die Feng. He escapes to a sealed cave where a phoenix is kept and gets injured. Si Yin tells him to stay in the cave while he recuperates and brings Xuan Nv to him, not knowing that Xuan Nv has tricks up her sleeves.

Xuan Nv goes back to Ghost Realm with Li Jing. Li Jing is almost killed by his father, but he is saved by Xuan Nv as she promises to help Ghost Tribe. Meanwhile, with Mo Yuan's injury not fully recovered, he brings Si Yin out to clear her mind from the incident. Right before the war is about to start, Xuan Nv is thrown back to Mount Kunlun and she continues her plot against Heavenly Tribe.

Thanks to the formation map that Xuan Nv stole, the Ghost Tribe easily breaks the Heavenly Tribe's formation, and Ling Yu is killed. In order to break out of this predicament, someone else must sacrifice and lure Ghost Tribe's troops away to give them one last chance to survive. Meanwhile, the Ghost Lord wants Mo Yuan to die with the Donghuang Bell that Mo Yuan made himself.

Devastated over the death of her master, Si Yin makes him drink the blood from her heart to protect his body from rotting. Upon hearing Die Feng tell her about the Ghost Tribe's sacred item, the Soul Jade, which can preserve the body of the dead, she sets out to see Li Jing in the Great Ziming Palace.

Consort Le Xu gives birth to a seemingly extraordinary baby, who is deemed the crown prince of the Heavenly Tribe. Bai Qian brings Mo Yuan’s body back to Qingqiu and keeps his body preserved there. 70,000 years later, the world has forgotten about Mo Yuan and Qing Cang. Bai Qian is betrothed to Prince Sang Ji, but she doesn’t want to marry him, and Sang Ji is in love with her maid, Shao Xin.

Heavenly Emperor's second son, Sang Jin, wants to break off his engagement with Bai Qian and marry her maid, Shao Xin, instead. Even though Bai Qian doesn't want to marry him either, this causes an issue on both sides. Lian Song then comes up with an idea to make sure that the intermarriage between the two sides can still push through.

Sang Ji pleads with his father to let Shao Xin live. Upon Lian Song's suggestion, Ye Hua is bestowed a marriage with Bai Qian instead, while Sang Ji gets exiled and demoted. Bai Qian goes to seal Qing Cang away again only to be cursed to suffer in Mortal Realm without her memories.
