The Five Kingdoms, once unified under Tianquan Kingdom by the Qiongcang sacred land, faced devastation a millennium ago due to Di Feitian. Elder Chang Qingzi of Qiongcang used the Xuanling True Leaf to avert disaster, but Di Feitian's residual blood formed a five-colored stone. Now, Di Feitian is stirring again, seeking to be awakened by a girl with the five-colored stone.
In Qiongcang, an elder tasks a disciple, the chosen one of the Xuanling True Leaf, with finding the girl, warning of dire consequences if he fails. On Mount Xuanyuan, Fu Yao, a servant of the Xuanyou faction, attempts to steal the Xuanyuan badge by mastering the third level of the Xuanyuan Wuxing Secret Technique. Despite her perceived dullness and low status, Senior Yan secretly teaches her martial arts. As she nears the emblem, she's ambushed and falls into a room.
Inside the room, Pei Yuan and her maid, Lie, confront Fu Yao. Pei Yuan, resenting Senior Yan’s attention towards Fu Yao, accuses her of breaking sect rules by secretly practicing in the Wuxing secret room. Fu Yao cleverly escapes through a window and descends the cliff. At the foot of the mountain, Senior Yan arrives as Pei Yuan and Lie appear, with Pei Yuan demanding Fu Yao be punished.
Senior Yan defends Fu Yao and tells her to leave, stopping Pei Yuan from following. Fu Yao points out that Pei Yuan had also violated rules by sneaking down the mountain on the day of the memorial ceremony. Senior Yan invites Pei Yuan to the ceremony, which she gladly accepts. Fu Yao overhears and decides to attend the ceremony herself. The Xuanyuan Sect ranks disciples by robe color, with Fu Yao’s black-robed Xuanyou faction being the lowest.
Uncle Zhou searches for Fu Yao after noticing her disappearance. Fu Yao, accompanied by Qi, changes into a green robe to blend in with the Xuanzheng faction disciples and watch the memorial ceremony. Grandmaster Yan Lie announces the revival of the Tiandou Competition, open to all adult disciples, regardless of rank. The winner will be honored as a hero. Fu Yao feels the injustice that her faction is not considered worthy.
Uncle Zhou finds Fu Yao and Qi, scolding them and taking them away. He assigns Fu Yao the task of fetching wine. Meanwhile, Senior Yan tells his father, Yan Lie, that the Crown Prince of Taiyuan intends to give him important responsibilities. Yan Lie then informs Senior Yan of unrest in Kunjing. In Kunjing, the King Xuanyuan Ren is dying and urges Crown Prince Xuanyuan Zhai to eliminate Duke Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen overhears this and vows to seize Taiyuan and kill the Xuanyuan royal family. He kills Crown Prince Xuanyuan Zhai but spares the King to witness his rise to power. At the Xuanyuan Sect, Yan Lie and Senior Yan discuss the situation in the capital. Yan Lie predicts conflict between Qi Zhen and the Xuanyuan family but says the Xuanyuan Sect should remain neutral and focus on the upcoming Tiandou Competition.
While fetching wine, Fu Yao finds Xuanyuan Min, the royal eldest son of Quandu, fleeing. She hides him in her cart, but Pei Yuan’s trap reveals him to Qi Zhen’s men. Qi Zhen's adopted son, Yun Hen, is about to execute Xuanyuan Min, but a messenger arrives with orders from Qi Zhen to keep him alive. Senior Yan is approached by Pei Yuan, who confesses her love for him.
Senior Yan rejects her and then hears Fu Yao’s cries for help. He tends to Fu Yao's wound, promising her that when he becomes the Grandmaster, he will elevate her status and make her his own. Pei Yuan overhears this and leaves in anger. Yun Hen forces his way into Mount Xuanyuan, alarming Grandmaster Yan Lie. He brings the injured Xuanyuan Min, demanding medical attention. Qi Zhen arrives with soldiers. Medical Sage Zong Yue revives Xuanyuan Min and departs.
Yan Lie tells Senior Yan that Qi Zhen’s arrival signals a shift in power and presents an opportunity. Xuanyuan Min awakens, confused. Qi Zhen tests Xuanyuan Min's Water Bending ability, unique to the Xuanyuan family. Having confirmed Xuanyuan Min's identity, Qi Zhen and Yun Hen kneel before him. Yun Hen declares that the late King named Xuanyuan Min as the Crown Prince of Taiyuan. Xuanyuan Min is stunned but accepts his new destiny.
