Qingmu identified Feng Ran as transformed by a demonic entity. Feng Ran spoke up in defense. Only after Qingmu questioned her thoroughly did he confirm Feng Ran's identity. It turned out that the malevolent energy in the human realm suddenly intensified today. He discovered the source of the malevolent energy was the land of the Phoenix tribe, so he intended to come and question Elder Danfeng to find out the truth.
He did not expect that everyone in the Phoenix tribe had been killed, and moreover, they were killed by someone who had transformed into Feng Ran's appearance. There was demonic energy present in Wutong Forest. All three had to raise their guard, so they decided to search separately for Jing Zhao and the demonic energy. If they encountered danger, they would use the instruction feather to send a message. In Wutong Forest, Qingmu heard Jing Zhao's cry for help.
He saw that Jing Zhao was trapped by demonic energy. Qingmu went forward to save Jing Zhao, but was instead trapped by the demonic energy himself. Just as Qingmu was resisting the demonic energy, Baixuan awakened. Baixuan sensed Qingmu's danger and came to resist the demonic energy together with Qingmu. While casting spells, Qingmu was shocked to discover that his origin was actually demon power. Baixuan stood in front of Qingmu. He retracted the Taicang Spear.
Qingmu knew that Baixuan was Bai Jue. He could not resist such fate, but he was unwilling as he had not returned for a hundred years and had not yet brought Houchi home. Facing Qingmu's unwillingness, Baixuan's spiritual consciousness entered Qingmu's body. Qingmu knew he was about to disappear from the three realms. He recalled every bit of time spent with Houchi and couldn't help but shed tears. He pleaded with Bai Jue to be sure to treat Houchi well.
At the same time, in Shenyin Mountain, Houchi felt very uneasy in her heart. She just felt that something major was happening tonight. Tianqi came to comfort Houchi, but Houchi still felt uneasy in her heart. Bai Jue had already awakened, but Qingmu's voice was still echoing within his body. Qingmu urged Bai Jue to treat Houchi well. Bai Jue suffered from a severe headache, blaming his hasty merging; his divine power had only recovered forty percent.
The matter in Wutong Forest was done by Wu Huan. Wu Huan saw everything that happened in Wutong Forest. It turned out that Qingmu was actually formed from a piece of Bai Jue's origin that was split off. She had intended to seize the opportunity while her spiritual power greatly increased today to completely annihilate the Phoenix tribe, but unexpectedly awakened Bai Jue.
She speculated that Bai Jue often resided in Qingchi Palace, and since Houchi and Shanggu looked alike, there must be a connection between them. Bai Jue did not discover Wu Huan, but Wu Huan had been careless tonight and allowed Elder Danfeng to escape. She must find Elder Danfeng as soon as possible to prevent more trouble from arising. Jing Jian and Feng Ran stumbled and fell into the forbidden area of the Phoenix tribe.
Jing Jian saw two broken jade pieces with the names Wuxi and Feng Yan engraved on them. He put the two pieces of jade together, and unexpectedly, they transformed into a fire phoenix. The Phoenix tribe had never produced a fire phoenix. Jing Jian thought about the reason Feng Ran had come to Wutong Forest, and was instantly shocked, guessing Feng Ran's identity: she was the Phoenix Emperor of the Phoenix tribe. Bai Jue fainted in Wutong Forest.
Jing Zhao saved Bai Jue. Bai Jue sensed that Jing Zhao had the Golden Dragon lineage and learned from her that she was the daughter of Mu Guang and Wu Huan. Just then, Gujun came to see Bai Jue. He invited Bai Jue to move to Qingchi Palace. Bai Jue was very surprised that the God Realm was already closed. He had slept for many years and had forgotten many things, including who Qingmu was; he was unaware.
Therefore, he asked the two of them to go down first, as he wanted to rest alone for a moment. Mu Guang brought an Immortal Lord to see Bai Jue. Bai Jue only met with Mu Guang alone. He now had some memory loss and was like a different person from the Bai Jue of yesteryear. Bai Jue took residence in the Heavenly Palace.
Jing Zhao claimed that she saw Feng Ran in the forest absorbing the Phoenix tribe's spiritual power with demonic energy yesterday. Feng Ran acted with integrity and was upright; she disregarded this false accusation. Bai Jue claimed he would not favor anyone but ordered Feng Ran to be taken to the Heavenly Prison for severe interrogation and torture.
As for the name Qingmu, he ordered Mu Guang to issue a decree that this name should not be mentioned again in the three realms from now on. Afterwards, Bai Jue talked with Mu Guang about the matter of the Demon tribe, stating that he knew the Phoenix tribe incident was not done by Feng Ran. He was just afraid of alerting the enemy, which was why he played along with the scheme.
Mu Guang could release Feng Ran in a few days. Bai Jue had made some judgments about the true culprit in his heart. That person's origin was an Immortal Root. He wanted to know if Mu Guang could deduce the identity of this person with demonic intentions after being in charge of the Heavenly Palace for sixty thousand years. Mu Guang could not deduce it.
Bai Jue brought up Wu Huan, and Mu Guang only said that Wu Huan could absolutely not have fallen into the demonic path. Bai Jue also did not suspect Wu Huan. He left the matters of the Heavenly Palace for Mu Guang to decide, while he himself prepared to go to the Realm of Azure Sky. Jing Zhao offered to stay by Bai Jue's side.
Bai Jue remembered that Jing Zhao had saved his life, so he would accept Jing Zhao's kindness this time and let Jing Zhao stay by his side. Leaving the Nine Heavens, Bai Jue encountered Jing Jian. Jing Jian asked about Qingmu. Bai Jue told Jing Jian frankly that he had awakened, and there was no longer any Qingmu in the world. Qingmu's immortal body was insignificant to him. Mu Guang ordered Wu Huan to come out of the Nether World.
Wu Huan now only possessed lower-tier divine power. She prepared to imitate Xuan Yi from back then and convert all her divine power into demonic energy. On the other side, Jing Jian came to secretly release Feng Ran. He blocked the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and told Feng Ran to go to Shenyin Mountain to find Houchi. Inside Shenyin Mountain, Tianqi already knew that Bai Jue had awakened.
However, with Bai Jue awakening at this time, he feared that Shanggu would surely blame Bai Jue for being heartless if she knew. Houchi was now pregnant. She had not heard from Qingmu for a long time and only pleaded with Tianqi to go out and search for Qingmu. Just then, the barrier trembled. Houchi and Tianqi went to the entrance of the barrier and rescued Feng Ran.
Even though the world said that Feng Ran had massacred Wutong Forest and harmed the Phoenix tribe, Houchi still deeply believed in Feng Ran. At the same time, she also learned that Bai Jue had awakened, and she knew well that Bai Jue was Qingmu. Since Bai Jue had awakened, there was no longer any Qingmu in the world.
