Fu Yao expressed her desire to face Tian Ji alongside Changsun Wuji, but he refused, explaining that Tian Ji intended to capture her and he could not allow her to fall into a trap. Fu Yao argued that if she didn't accompany him, Tian Ji would still not spare him. She emphasized that she would never agree to him sacrificing his life for hers, hoping they could face any future challenges together.

Changsun Wuji insisted she listen just this once, assuring her that while his Elder Master was strict, he was also kind-hearted and cared for the world, and would not harm innocents if a solution was found. Fu Yao then asked what would happen if there was no other way. She bravely stated that if that day truly came, she wished he would kill her himself, and then shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Five Kingdoms after her death.

Changsun Wuji simply held her tightly, promising he would return the following day when the Venus rose in the western sky, and asked her to wait patiently. Soon after, Fei Yan arrived at the Changqing Palace to meet Tian Ji and the four elders of Qiongcang, immediately asserting her knowledge that the "witch" had entered Qiongcang and demanding swift action.

The elders expressed wariness, recalling how the Hall of Fantasy had colluded with Di Feitian during the War of Qiongcang years ago, slaughtering countless lives. While the Hall of Fantasy eventually regretted its actions, Qiongcang had not forgotten their past sins. Fei Yan countered by reminding them that it was the Hall of Fantasy that had proposed using the Xuanling True Leaf to combat evil spirits, turning the tide of the war.

She stressed the critical state of the Five Kingdoms, urging them to set aside old grudges for the greater good. She then directly challenged Tian Ji and the Changqing Palace's integrity, revealing that Changsun Wuji loved the "witch" and had been protecting her, even disregarding Qiongcang's rules by concealing her whereabouts. The elders were astonished.

To stabilize the situation, Tian Ji admitted that his rebellious disciple had been bewitched, revealing he had used a punishment spell on Changsun Wuji and that Changsun Wuji had personally brought the "witch" into Qiongcang. He requested the elders grant Changsun Wuji more time. Fei Yan, however, remained skeptical, questioning why Changsun Wuji's mind would change so easily, given his past actions and favored status.

Tian Ji, enraged by the implications, declared that his Changqing Palace had always acted uprightly for the Five Kingdoms. He then sternly vowed that while Changsun Wuji was his most valued disciple, if he truly chose to protect the "witch," he would be considered an enemy of both the Changqing Palace and the world, and Tian Ji would show no leniency.

Satisfied with Tian Ji's public vow, Fei Yan returned to the Hall of Fantasy, where she spoke to her disciple, Taiyan. She explained that unlike the Changqing Palace, which desired the "witch's" death, her true aim was for the "witch" to live, necessary for the revival of Di Feitian, a goal the Hall of Fantasy had pursued for a millennium.

She stated that her visit to the Changqing Palace was merely a ploy to use Tian Ji's formidable punishment against Changsun Wuji, as he was an inconvenient obstacle guarding the "witch." Taiyan, who harbored feelings for Changsun Wuji, was visibly distressed by this revelation. Fei Yan, noticing Taiyan's reaction, warned her pointedly that in this world, love was the most meaningless emotion. Changsun Wuji then appeared before Tian Ji, who immediately demanded Fu Yao's whereabouts.

Changsun Wuji, however, pleaded for Tian Ji to grant Fu Yao a chance at life. Tian Ji, furious at his defiance, declared him a traitor and prepared to inflict extreme punishment. Changsun Wuji calmly accepted the punishment of the Nine Nether Illusion, a perilous trial. He reminded Tian Ji of a Qiongcang rule: if a punished individual successfully navigated the illusion, they would be honored by the temple and receive aid from the Changqing Palace.

Tian Ji, confident that Changsun Wuji could not pass, scoffed at his arrogance but agreed to the terms. Changsun Wuji bowed and entered the nine-level illusion, which was fantastically intricate and had remained unconquered for centuries. He found himself chained at the peak of Mount Wunian, also known as the Ninth Heavens. Tian Ji appeared by his side, admitting he regretted such extreme measures but insisted they were necessary in such extraordinary times.

He pressed Changsun Wuji once more to reveal Fu Yao's location. Changsun Wuji steadfastly refused, arguing that it was unjust to sacrifice an innocent life to save the world, and believed there must still be a solution that preserved both. Changsun Wuji's stubborn refusal infuriated Tian Ji, who sternly declared that there was no other way; the Five Kingdoms could only be saved by sacrificing Fu Yao's life. He urged Changsun Wuji to embrace his mission and prioritize the realm.

Changsun Wuji, however, unequivocally stated that Fu Yao was the love of his life, and he would protect her even if it meant defying Tian Ji and the Changqing Palace, which had bestowed upon him his profound martial arts skills. He declared himself willing to return all his cultivation to Tian Ji.

Tian Ji, in response, unleashed a powerful palm strike, then offered Changsun Wuji one final chance before enacting the confinement enchantment, a powerful spell unused for over 700 years. Yet, Changsun Wuji remained resolute. Tian Ji, with a heavy heart, then imposed the extreme penalty. Changsun Wuji endured excruciating pain, his thoughts consumed by Fu Yao, until he finally lost consciousness. The next morning, as the Venus rose, Changsun Wuji had not returned, causing Fu Yao to grow increasingly anxious.

She desperately pleaded with Yuan Bao to lead her to him. Yuan Bao guided her to Mount Wunian, where she unexpectedly encountered Zhan Beiye, Yalan Zhu, and Zong Yue, along with Qi. They had learned of Changsun Wuji and Fu Yao's predicament and resolved to join her search. Fu Yao expressed concern for the dangers of Qiongcang's illusionary realm and the risks to their safety, but her friends insisted, stepping ahead into Mount Wunian, determined to accompany her.

Meanwhile, Changsun Wuji remained confined by Godslayer Nails at the peak of the Ninth Heavens, enduring the extreme cold punishment. Taiyan secretly arrived and attempted to rescue him, but he warned her that Tian Ji's confinement was unbreakable and that her efforts would only cost her own life. Taiyan questioned why he had chosen to return to Qiongcang and risk his life.

Changsun Wuji confessed his profound love for Fu Yao, explaining that while he knew he could not single-handedly fight against Qiongcang, enduring this punishment was his only way to bear her burden and create a chance for her survival. Taiyan, having trained in Qiongcang's arts since childhood, realized his desperate plan was to abandon his lifelong cultivation—an incredibly dangerous method. She begged him not to, but Changsun Wuji remained firm, stating that saving Fu Yao was a gamble with destiny.

If successful, he could spend his life with her; if not, he was content to die alongside her, fulfilling his vow of no regrets. As Fu Yao and her companions ventured deeper into Mount Wunian, they learned that Changsun Wuji was imprisoned at the summit and resolved to risk the perilous climb to rescue him. Simultaneously, Tian Ji and the other elders, anticipating Fu Yao's move, dispatched Qiongcang disciples to intercept her, determined to capture and eliminate the "witch."

As the pursuers closed in, Qi selflessly volunteered to stay behind and cut the bridge, creating a barrier to delay the disciples, allowing Fu Yao and the others to press onward. Concurrently, Taiyan revealed a precious mirror she had stolen from the secret chamber of the Changqing Palace, a relic only accessible by a legitimate disciple.

Changsun Wuji instructed her to drip his blood onto the mirror, hoping to uncover a solution that would save both Fu Yao and the Five Kingdoms. The mirror, however, revealed only a cryptic message: "It was caused by me, it was produced by me, it was produced by me, it'll be ended by me." With time running out, Taiyan attempted to remove the Godslayer Nails from Changsun Wuji, but he stopped her, unwilling to implicate his fellow disciples.

He stated that he had understood the true meaning of the message, recognizing that he and Fu Yao were destined to end the conflict, and if fate could not be averted, he was prepared to perish alongside her.
