Episode 1
Ling Xi is an innocent little fairy of the Dan Bird tribe residing in Peach Blossom Fields. Her father, Le Buo, is an immortal doctor. Ignoring his warning, Ling Xi ventures out of Blossom Fields and sneaks into the Heavenly Palace. Chased by the guards, she ends up in an ice chamber. She accidentally awakens Jiu Chen, the God Of War, who has been in a slumber for 50,000 years after a battle with the Demon Lord at You Du Mountain. She also takes his longevity knot. During her escape, Ling Xi is saved by the Tun Tian demon monster which arouses the suspicion of Tian Lei Zhenjun. Eventually, she still gets captured and Le Buo goes to see the Emperor to get back his daughter. However, Jiu Chen requests Ling Xi to be his servant instead to help him recover his health after years in slumber.
Episode 2
Jiu Chen brings Ling Xi back to his residence, the Floating Clouds Palace. But Tian Lei Zhenjun is still suspicious of Ling Xi and whips her to try to find out her relationship with the demons. Jiu Chen saves her but he is also suspicious of how she could awaken him when his soul had been scattered after the battle with the Demon Lord. He asks his steward, Shi San, to monitor her movements. As Jui Chen meditates late one night, the battle consumes his consciousness and he turns to ice again. Ling Xi, who happens to pass by his room, saves him once again by exhausting her internal energy. She faints thereafter.
Episode 3
As Ling Xi faints in Jiu Chen’s room and ends up spending a night there, rumors of them starts to swirl. Yuan Tong, General Of The North Sea, excitedly comes by to visit when she heard that Jiu Chen has awakened. But her mother dislikes him. Her son, Yuan Zheng, and disciples died when Jiu Chen led them in the battle with the Demon Lord. As Jiu Chen is suspicious of Ling Xi, he also visits Le Buo for more information about her background. However, Le Buo is evasive.
In the meantime, Jing Xiu, Counsellor for the Mountain Spirit (Shan Ling) tribe, goes to see Tian Lei Zhenjun. His realm has been a dumping ground for exiles from the Heavenly tribes such as Zhong Hao of which he is not happy about. Jing Xiu bumps into Ling Xi at the Heavenly Palace and pockets Jiu Chen’s longevity knot that she has dropped.
Episode 4
Jing Xiu presents Tian Lei Zhenjun the Heart Piercing Needle which belonged to Yuan Zheng. It is a ruse to get Tian Lei Zhenjun to help him to crush a rebellion by Zhong Hao in Mountain Spirit Realm. General Kai Yang is sent to help and ends up getting injured. Jiu Chen saves him but the exertion puts a toll on his recovery from the long slumber. With the relic, Tian Lei Zhenjun asks Jiu Chen in front of the Emperor about all the deaths at You Du Mountain. When the needle attacks Jiu Chen, he catches it with one hand. His hand starts to freeze but he hides it behind his back to avoid exposing his weakened state. Ling Xi secretly helps him to heal it with her internal energy until she is drained. Jiu Chen then holds her hand and walks out with her from the palace hall.
Episode 5
Ling Yue, ruler of the Mountain Spirit tribe, asks Jing Xiu not to kill Zhong Hao so as not to anger Jiu Chen. Zhong Hao is the son of the late Lie Yi who used to be Jiu Chen’s general. During the conversation, Jing Xiu drops the longevity knot pocketed from Ling Xi. Ling Yue recognizes it as the one that she left with her abandoned baby years ago during an escape from enemies.
Back in the celestial world, the Heavenly Emperor is worried about the re-awakening of the Demon Lord with the return of Jiu Chen. Yuan Tong burns a letter from her brother that could prove Jiu Chen’s innocence after Du Yu advised her not to reveal it to protect the Yuan family’s reputation. In the fight against the demons, her brother’s mind had been gradually corrupted by the demonic energy. He asked Jiu Chen to kill him if he could no longer control his mind and that was what happened at You Du Mountain. Du Yu is from the Eastern Sea tribe and has feelings for Yuan Tong while the latter is interested in Jiu Chen.
Episode 6
Jiu Chen sends Yuan Tong to see Ling Yue. The message is to spare the lives of the innocent members of the Lie Yi tribe. But Jing Xiu has brought them to the Spirit Chaining Abyss for their souls to be forever locked up. Ling Yue and Yuan Tong rush over and stop the ceremony midway. The dark forces from the abyss rise up. Lie Yi tribe members used their lives to sacrifice to the Demon Lord to create a pathway for Zhong Hao to escape to You Du Mountain. When the negative energy has dissipated, Yuan Du, Ling Yue’s father could be seen at the bottom of the abyss. In the meantime, as Zhong Hao takes in the demonic qi, Lie Yi’s jade plate in Jiu Chen’s room begins to disintegrate. Its energy connects to Ling Xi who is cleaning nearby and she faints.
Tian Lei Zhenjun returns the God Of War seal that has been under his custody to Jie Chun. He intends to force Jie Chun to use the seal to open a war report written 50,000 years ago on You Du Mountain. Jiu Chun opens it but drops the report into the fire to protect Yuan Zheng’s reputation and his family from being punished.
Episode 7
Le Buo finds out what happened to Ling Xi. He insists that Ling Xi follows him back to Peach Blossom Fields but she refuses. Shi San begins to fawn over Si Ming, the lord who governs mortals. Jie Chun is placed under house arrest after he burns the war report. Many people suspect he is guilty of all the deaths at You Du Mountain. Yuan Tong feels conflicted because she knows it is her brother who is at fault but she needs to keep the secret to protect her family. Her mother who hates Jie Chun warns her not to support him. Jie Chun sends his junior brother, Yun Feng, to You Du Mountain to investigate what has been happening there. While meditating, the Demon Lord appears in Jiu Chen’s consciousness and warns him that he has also absorbed some of the demonic qi in the battle years ago.
Jing Xiu who thought Yuan Du has been killed years earlier realizes he has been lied to by Ling Yue. Yuan Du killed his father when the latter tried to stage a coup then. Jing Xiu’s life was spared only because he turned against his own father and accused him of rebellion. He had no choice if he wanted to live then. Now, Jing Xiu wants to capture Zhong Hao who has the expertise to unseal the abyss since Yuan Du is at the bottom of it.
Episode 8
Bao Qing, Ling Yue’s adopted daughter, is interested in Jing Xiu. But Ling Yue is against the relationship. Bao Qing also overhears from servants that her mother is looking for her biological daughter. She reveals this to Jing Xiu. Jiu Chen detaches his spirit out of his body and travels to You Du Mountain. He finds out that the Demon Lord has awakened and is trying to break out of his seal. Ling Xi goes back to Peach Blossom Fields to look for medicine for Jiu Chen to get rid of the effects of the hibernation in the ice chamber.

Ling Xi manages to create a cold dispelling pellet from the book she obtained from Peach Blossom Fields. She tests its effectiveness by jumping into an icy pool. Jiu Chen witnesses the whole incident and pulls her out of the water. Yun Feng reports to Jiu Chen that the demonic aura at the mountain is very strong that he couldn’t enter. Jiu Chen tells Yun Feng and Si Ming that the Demon Lord doesn’t have enough power yet to break out of his seal. He suspects that the power lies with Ling Xi but he couldn’t detect anything on her as yet.
Jiu Chen is required to attend a public trial on his accused failure in the battle with the Demon Lord. Ling Xi goes to South Pole which has a device to reconstruct the burnt war report through some ashes that she has collected previously to help Jiu Chen. While she is there, she bumps into Jing Xui. He is secretly following Ling Yue to find out what she is up to. Ling Yue is also at South Pole to ask the Old Lord about the status of her biological daughter.
Episode 10
Ling Yue now knows that her daughter is alive from the Old Lord but not who or where she might be. Ling Xi finds the Water Moon Cauldron which can reconstruct what happened at You Du Mountain. She collects the information in a case. The cauldron then transforms into mythical sand that forms a bangle around her wrist and can’t be removed. Yuan Tong finds out Ling Xi has been to South Pole and demands for the case. Ling Xi refuses and Yuan Tong pushes her into the Immortal Cleansing Pond. This makes Ling Xi badly hurt and could cause her to lose her immortality.
Qing Yao, Ling Xi’s senior disciple sister, found her and the case by the pond. She brings them to the induction ceremony to place Yuan Zheng’s relic into the Merit Hall. Jiu Chen heals Ling Xi.

He collapses and Qing Yao has to seal his immortal powers for 49 days to protect his life. Yu Li, the daughter of the Medicine King, comes to give Jiu Chen a fire element on behalf of his father which could help with his ailment. She has feelings for Jiu Chen and hence, jealous of Ling Xi.
Jiu Chen gives the gift to Ling Xi instead. But dark energy from the fire element makes a connection to Ling Xi while she sleeps. In the meantime, Zhong Hao wants to find Ling Xi who bears the powers of both gods and demons. She will have the powers to unshackle the Demon Lord from the seal placed by Jiu Chen. He also intends to unseal the Spirit Chaining Abyss so that the Demon Lord will have millions of dark soldiers to command. To look for Ling Xi, Ling Yue goes to see Le Buo for clues. This is because Le Buo and her late husband, Mo Huan, are of the same tribe.

Ling Xi is also slowly developing affections for Jiu Chen.
Jing Xui finds out that Qin Yuan is Zhong Hao’s adopted son. Yuan Tong begins to practice the dark arts of immortality since she has been stripped of her power and cultivation skills. Qing Yao rejected Yun Feng once more. She angrily tells him of his mistake 50,000 years ago which caused the death of a mortal man. This leaves Yun Feng trying to figure out why it affects Qing Yao so much.
Episode 15
In the mortal world, Jiu Chen and Ling Xi come across a mythical beast. Ling Xi names it Wuwan and decides to rear it. On the way to You Du Mountain, they pass by Mountain Spirit Realm.

Yun Feng finds out from Si Ming that the man who died as a result of his mistake years ago is Qin Yao’s mortal husband.
Jui Chen then takes Ling Xi into You Du Mountain. By right, she won’t be able to enter due to the thick demonic fog and yet, she has that ability. This confirms Jiu Chen’s suspicion that Ling Xi has a connection to the Demon Lord. He then takes her to Polar Abyss but just doesn’t have the heart to freeze her to death. Ling Xi returns his longevity knot. A flashback sees Jiu Chen hearing a baby’s cries just after he sealed off the Demon Lord in a tough battle 50,000 years ago. The longevity knot actually belongs to the baby. The Demon Lord’s spirit tried to enter the baby as its host but was stopped by Jiu Chen.

Ling Xi confesses her feelings for Jiu Chen and kisses him when he insists that she stays at Peach Blossom Fields. Jui Chen rejects her as bringing her back to Floating Clouds Palace will put her life at risk. He teaches her how to protect herself by using her mythical sand bracelet.

Ling Xi helps to save 2 of them nearby her home. She bumps into an envoy from Kunlun Mountain who later sees Wuwan and takes him away. Ling Xi goes to Kunlun Mountain to try to get back Wuwan.

She takes it with her but bumps into Yuan Tong who notices the dark aura when the element falls out of the box.
Episode 20
The Demon Lord uses Yuan Zheng’s image to tell Jiu Chen that Ling Xi should be killed. His refusal to do so means he is willing to let go of a demon and as such, he should also free the Demon Lord. Jiu Chen refuses to listen. Yuan Tong informs the Emperor about Ling Xi being a demon. The Emperor orders her to be brought back for interrogation. Jiu Chen manages to save Ling Xi from Qin Yuan but he couldn’t conceal her demonic background during the interrogation by Immortal God Pu Hua.
The Emperor decides Ling Xi should be sentenced to death as the risk of freeing the Lord Demon would cause misery to the 6 realms. Jiu Chen offers to resign from his God Of War position. In exchange, he hopes Ling Xi’s life can be spared and he will undertake to guard her at Polar Abyss. Before a decision could be made, Jiu Chen’s master, the Heavenly Supreme Lord, finally emerges from his cave.

Episode 21
Using a sedative potion to make the guards faint, Qing Yao saves Ling Xi. Yuan Tong witnesses it but chooses to let them escape. She then kills all the guards and lays the blame on Qing Yao. With the Heavenly soldiers hot on their trails, Qing Yao, Cheng Yan, Le Buo, and Ling Xi split into 2 pairs and go separate ways. Yuan Tong and her soldiers manage to capture Qing Yao and Cheng Yan, but Yun Feng arrives just in time to save them. Yuan Tong then chases after Le Buo and Ling Xi. Besides the Heavenly Soldiers, Zhong Hao is also trying to capture Ling Xi. If Ling Xi were to fall into the hands of the Heavenly soldiers, she would be killed and the Lord Demon would remain sealed up. Jing Xiu also wants Ling Xi to use her to control Zhong Hao.
Jiu Chen decides to walk his own path despite the advice from his master. He arrives to find Zhong Hao fighting with Le Buo who is trying his best to protect Ling Xi. Le Buo is already gravely injured. With Jiu Chen taking over the fight, Le Buo runs away with Ling Xi but collapses due to his injury. He tells Ling Xi the truth about her background. Yuan Tong comes by and kills off Le Buo. Angered, Ling Xi’s powerful energy comes to the fore to drive Yuan Tong away. Jing Xiu quietly witnesses the whole incident behind the trees. Ling Xi then faints and when she awakens, the Lord Demon’s voice is calling out to her. She goes to You Du Mountain but Jiu Chen arrives to wake her up from her trance.
Episode 22
Yun Feng is protecting Qing Yao and Cheng Yan as they recuperate. Yu Li also helps out. Although Yu Li is angry with Qing Yao because of Ling Xi, she doesn’t believe that the guards are killed by Qing Yao herself. Neither does Yun Feng. Jiu Chen brings Ling Xi back to the Heavenly realm and she is locked up at the Demon Detention Tower to keep her out of reach from the Lord Demon. He seals her off in a high platform to keep her safe. In the tower is the powerful Shennong Cauldron in which the Torch Dragon is sealed and the demons within are quelled. However, the cauldron is also able to save Ling Xi. So, Jiu Chen takes away the Shennong Cauldron.
As a substitute, he takes out his heart which contains the Nuwa Stone which can perform the same function of the Shennong Cauldron in the Demon Detention Tower. This heart was given to him by his master and Emperor when he was a boy in order to save his life then. Huo Dou is the monster guardian of the tower and possesses the Fire Spirit which can help Jiu Chen regains his vitality and health. But he is deaf. So, he tells Ling Xi to trade with him her sense of hearing for the Fire Spirit.
Episode 23
Jiu Chen tells Yun Feng that they can use the Shennong Cauldron to preserve Ling Xi’s soul, rebuild her flesh and blood and send her to the mortal world to get rid of the demonic mark. So, Jiu Chen insists that Ling Xi should be executed. He tries to explain to her what he plans to do but her sense of hearing is gone. Before her execution, Ling Xi returns the longevity knot to Jiu Chen with the Fire Spirit infused in it.
Jing Xiu finally tells Ling Yue that Ling Xi is her daughter. Ling Yue rushes to the Heavenly palace but it is too late. Jiu Chen wants Ling Xi to die in order to save her. He takes out his sword and Ling Xi runs her neck onto it to kill herself instead. Yuan Tong is also punished for killing the guards when Qing Yao helped Ling Xi to escape earlier.
Episode 24
Ling Yue locks up Jing Xiu for lying to her about her daughter and indirectly causing her death. He told her that Ling Xi died 50,000 years ago. Jing Xiu really believed so then because when he went back to save Ling Xi on the orders of Ling Yue, falling rocks seemed to have buried Ling Xi alive. The distrust between Ling Yue and Jing Xiu is compounded by the existence of Yuan Du. Ling Yue promised to kill Yuan Du to avenge for the deaths of Jing Xiu’s family but she didn’t do so.
Jiu Chen takes the Shennong Cauldron that has trapped Ling Xi’s soul back to Polar Abyss. He uses up all his energy to put back together Ling Xi’s soul. The Fire Spirit helps to revitalize his body. Then Ling Xi is sent to the mortal world through the Immortal Cleansing Pond. She is now a newborn baby and taken in by Lin Shao Hai to be his eldest daughter because his wife is barren. However, the baby is deaf. Lin Shao Hai’s wife becomes depressed and wants to kill the baby.

In a fight, Jiu Chen accidentally destroys Mount Zhuwu and hurt Immortal Peng, God Of Mountains. This raises the suspicion of Tian Lei Zhenjun. Yun Feng raises the possibility with Jiu Chen that without his Nuwa Stone heart, he may not be able to control his powers. Yuan Tong is unrepentant and the Emperor decrees that she is to be locked up in the Demon Detention Tower.
Jing Xiu is still being imprisoned by Ling Yue in the Forbidden Area. He is still full of hatred towards Yuan Du because the latter beheaded his father years ago. Yuan Du forced Jing Xiu to frame his own father for colluding with the Demon tribe. But with Jing Xiu’s imprisonment, Zhong Hao might take the opportunity to attack Mountain Spirit. Jing Xiu advises Wu, the tribe’s witch doctor, to seek help from the Heavenly tribe if that happens.
Episode 26
Bao Xing frees Jing Xiu. While escaping, Jing Xiu stops to fight off Zhong Hao’s troops who are attacking the Mountain Spirit realm. He is captured by Zhong Hao who uses 7 White Bone Nails to neutralize his powers. Only the Phoenix tribe people would be able to remove the nails. Imprisoned again in the Forbidden Area, Wu comes by to try to free Jing Xiu. Yuan Tong is now held at the Demon Detention Tower but she is planning to escape.

Jiu Chen also drops by often in spirit to visit Lin Mo.
Episode 27
In the Demon Detention Tower, Yuan Tong cunningly convinces Huo Dou to break free by knocking down the Shennong Cauldron so that he can go and take revenge on his master for framing him.

Jiu Chen finds out about the betrothal and the background to her deafness from Si Ming. He goes to confront Huo Dou. Jiu Chen explains to Huo Dou that his master didn’t frame him but instead helped him to stay alive. Huo Dou regrets what he has done and gives up his 5 senses to Jiu Chen. He also says that Ling Xi couldn’t hear Jiu Chen’s explanation earlier as she had already given her hearing to him by then. Si Ming advises Jiu Chen to plant a tree with a seed containing the senses. When it bears fruit, Lin Mo will be able to get back her hearing when she eats it. When Lin Mo goes to look for herbs in the forest, she falls and hurts her foot. Jiu Chen is there to look after her.

Yun Feng couldn’t see anything untoward on the surface but neither can he investigate things thoroughly at Mountain Spirit without Ling Yue’s cooperation. Zhong Hao wants to open up the Spirit Chaining Abyss but Qin Yuan seems hesitant since they have already got their revenge by taking control of Ling Yue and her tribe. The peach tree at Lin Mo’s house begins to bear fruit. She gives some to Physician Sun who has been treating Jing Xiu. She uses the rest to make wine to earn money instead of eating them. Lin Mo and Jing Xiu also develop a trusting relationship as time passes.
Tian Lei Zhenjun wants to enter the Demon Detention Tower as he is suspicious of what Jiu Chen could be hiding inside.

Even Shi San comes by to challenge her to a fight for what she has done to Ling Xi. Yuan Tong asks Jiu Chen for forgiveness but is rebuffed. Jiu Chen’s master tells him that should Lin Mo fails to pass her tribulations in her mortal world, he will take back the Shennong Cauldron that is preserving her soul and exchange it back for Jiu Chen’s Nuwa Stone heart. This is because Jiu Chen cannot die as he has a responsibility to keep the 6 realms safe. Zhong Hao is pestered by the Lord Demon to look for Lin Mo.

He tries to use his internal energy to push out the White Bone Nails embedded by Zhong Hao from his body but faints halfway. Lin Mo helps him to pull the protruding nails out. However, this raises Jing Xiu’s suspicion if Lin Mo might be a descendant of the Phoenix tribe.
