In the kitchen of the Xuanyou Faction, Fu Yao drank soup, telling Uncle Zhou about her recurring dreams. She described always being forced to practice and waking up in different places, once even in the ancestral hall. Uncle Zhou listened, murmuring that things had indeed come true.
Fu Yao then recalled the stove poker he had given her, explaining that after she fell into a deep pond during a competition, it changed form and became firmly stuck at the bottom of the pond, captivating her gaze. Uncle Zhou, though understanding, evasively dismissed her words as nonsense, claiming her brain hadn't recovered. Soon after, Yan Lie, accompanied by elders and their people, arrived at the Xuanyou Faction.
They asserted that the Instruction Box indicated the pearl used for the competition was in the Xuanyou Faction's kitchen, demanding its surrender. Uncle Zhou, maintaining his innocence, stated they had no such pearl and never engaged in theft. However, to everyone’s surprise, Fu Yao produced the pearl from her pocket. Yan Lie moved to take Fu Yao away, but Uncle Zhou, in desperation, immediately knelt, pleading for her release.
Unable to bear seeing Uncle Zhou humble himself, Fu Yao stepped forward, helped him up, and reminded Yan Lie of the Tiandou Competition rules. She explained that the pearl’s possessor could enter the third round, and since she acquired it during the second round, it was not stolen. Yan Lie, finding Fu Yao reckless, coldly assented, allowing her to proceed to the third round. After Yan Lie departed, Uncle Zhou was deeply upset.
He longed to scold Fu Yao but couldn't bring himself to, instead expressing deep worry for her. Meanwhile, Changsun Wuji, having learned of Fu Yao's participation in the third round from his pet mouse, felt both concern and curiosity about how she would overcome this final challenge. The next day, Uncle Zhou remained secluded. Fu Yao bid him farewell from outside his door before resolutely heading to the competition grounds.
There, Yan Lie announced the rules for the final match: a duel between two contenders. However, these two would first be selected through an illusion round. Twelve colored Dragon Candles represented the twelve participating disciples, their brightness indicating success or failure. The two remaining burning candles would signify the disciples who successfully navigated the illusion and would advance to the final duel. As the competition commenced, disciples were gradually eliminated; even the skilled Pei Yuan fell from the illusion, disqualified.
To everyone’s astonishment, the two individuals who fought their way to the final duel were Fu Yao of the Xuanyou Faction and Yan Jingchen of the Xuanzheng Faction. Yan Jingchen was surprised to see Fu Yao, never imagining he would face her in battle. Believing Fu Yao was no match for him, he expressed a desire to avoid her injury and hoped she would concede.
Yet, Fu Yao, having come so far, only wished for a decisive end to their relationship. She declared that if she won the match, she would regain her freedom, leaving Yan Jingchen and Mount Xuanyuan behind to explore the outside world. Before the match began, Pei Yuan approached Yan Lie, accusing Fu Yao of secretly practicing an evil martial arts skill not from their sect to reach the finals. She urged Yan Lie to disqualify Fu Yao.
With various martial arts heroes gathered, Yan Lie, to preserve the Xuanyuan Sect's reputation, deliberately ignored Pei Yuan’s plea and announced the start of the match. Uncle Zhou came to witness Fu Yao's match, cheering her on from the audience. The duel commenced, with Fu Yao, clad in black, fighting against Yan Jingchen in white. Their movements were clean and decisive, devoid of personal emotion.
As Yan Jingchen gradually lost the upper hand, Fu Yao threw down her long sword, willing to concede. She recalled Yan Jingchen’s past promises, understanding deep down that they were fundamentally different. Fu Yao exited the arena, and Yan Lie declared Yan Jingchen the victor. However, the martial arts heroes present were dissatisfied, deeming the result unfair and demanding an explanation from Yan Lie. Just then, Pei Yuan stepped forward, exposing Fu Yao’s identity as a lowly slave.
She brazenly mocked Fu Yao and even accused her of using bewitching evil skills to influence Yan Jingchen. When the crowd pressed Yan Jingchen for confirmation, he affirmed Pei Yuan's words to protect his reputation. Fu Yao, who had been about to leave, stopped. Her heart chilled, she swiftly stepped forward, seized a long sword from the arena floor, and challenged Yan Jingchen to a rematch.
Fu Yao fought with all her might, and Yan Jingchen proved no match for her. Even after she allowed him three moves, Yan Jingchen still fell to her. Fu Yao’s martial arts skill captivated everyone present. Yan Lie, with keen eyes, recognized the technique Fu Yao used as "Break the Empyrean Heaven," a long-lost forbidden skill. Seizing an opportune moment, he struck Fu Yao, knocking her unconscious.
He then announced to the crowd that Fu Yao had displayed a forbidden skill of the Xuanyuan Sect, declaring it dangerous and uncontrollable, and asserting that if a person of ill will practiced it, their wickedness would become unstoppable. Therefore, he stated his intention to first seal Fu Yao’s power to clarify the matter and then execute her. Fu Yao was subsequently imprisoned by Yan Lie in a secret chamber, bound by the Qiankun Chain.
Yan Lie demanded she hand over the handbook of "Break the Empyrean Heaven." Fu Yao truthfully stated she knew nothing about it, but Yan Lie accused her of feigning ignorance. He threatened to confine her for as long as she refused to comply. Meanwhile, after the Tiandou Competition, Yan Jingchen was so humiliated that he refused to eat. Yan Lie entered his room, roused him, and led him to the ancestral hall.
From there, he guided Yan Jingchen into a hidden passageway within the Xuanyuan Sect, where he divulged knowledge about "Break the Empyrean Heaven." He revealed that the secret book was now within Mount Xuanyuan and expressed his determination to retrieve it by any means necessary to restore the Xuanyuan Sect's past glory and re-establish its dominance across the five continents. In the secret chamber, Uncle Zhou came to visit Fu Yao.
He used sleeping powder to subdue the guards, then used his own power to heal Fu Yao's wounds. He revealed to her the truth about "Break the Empyrean Heaven," lamenting that despite his best efforts to hide it, she had still learned the skill. He explained that "Break the Empyrean Heaven" was the very power she had been practicing in her dreams. It was a sword technique, a true qi, an illusion, and an inner demon.
It embodied the laws of nature and the power of the primal universe. It could break through worldly obstacles and emotional bonds. It was dynamic and alive, existing as an invisible, shadowless surge of true qi etched onto the practitioner, living and dying with them. He also revealed that it was the lifelong pursuit of Yan Lie.
