Xu Xuan made a solemn promise to his master, White Emperor, to focus on cultivation after presenting Bai Yaoyao with three gifts, which he intended as farewell tokens. He shared his plan to send Bai Yaoyao to Mount Li for spiritual practice, aiming for a permanent separation, effectively making them strangers. His master expressed concern that such deep love for Bai Yaoyao could be destructive, a warning Xu Xuan respectfully acknowledged.
Meanwhile, Green Emperor confronted White Emperor, exposing White Emperor's manipulative actions concerning Bai Yaoyao. He accused White Emperor of first deceiving Bai Yaoyao into stealing the Deity Herb and then attempting to use her to take on Xu Xuan's Fate of Seven Prowesses. Now, White Emperor was reportedly planning to eradicate Xu Xuan's emotional ties to ensure their complete separation. White Emperor defended himself, stating his actions were solely to save Xu Xuan, an ordinary human struck by thunder shots.
He revealed a larger plan involving the Sacred Lady of Mount Li to ensure the Fate of Seven Prowesses remained under heaven's control. Green Emperor, however, warned him that the Sacred Lady might not be pleased. Later, Xu Xuan and Bai Yaoyao reminisced in a peach blossom grove. Bai Yaoyao, admiring the scenery, lamented that its beauty would be meaningless without Xu Xuan by her side. Xu Xuan playfully chided her for her lack of cultivation progress.
In a sudden gesture, Bai Yaoyao kissed him, playfully threatening to repeat the act if he continued to nag. Xu Xuan, embracing his more liberated personality as Xu Xuan, kissed her back. To arrange a grand celebration for Bai Yaoyao, Xu Xuan and Qi Xiao approached White Emperor about his upcoming 10,000th birthday.
Initially reluctant to hold the event in the exclusive Heavenly Peach Garden, White Emperor eventually succumbed to their elaborate flattery, which included mentions of Green Emperor's supposed envy. White Emperor, proud of his standing, agreed to the lavish celebration and entrusted Qi Xiao with the arrangements, albeit with a caution against extravagance.
Xu Xuan then brought Bai Yaoyao to meet the Queen Mother, who fondly recalled Bai Yaoyao's mischievous attempt to steal a peach a millennium ago, expressing a preference for the "reckless little snake" over the now more composed Bai Yaoyao. Xu Xuan seized the opportunity to request permission to invite minor demons to the celebration, which the Queen Mother graciously granted.
The minor demons, including Xiao Qing's subordinates, were overjoyed and overwhelmed by the splendor of the Heavenly Peach Garden, praising Xu Xuan for his generosity and remembering his past kindness. Xiao Qing sternly reminded them to maintain decorum in the celestial realm. When White Emperor arrived, he was immediately displeased by the strong "demon aura" in the garden, refusing to proceed. Green Emperor, ever the provocateur, subtly mocked White Emperor's narrow-mindedness.
Bai Yaoyao, Xiao Qing, and the other demons, following Xu Xuan's unspoken cue, enthusiastically praised White Emperor, hailing him as the "champion in the Empyrean Heaven." Their fervent adulation placated White Emperor, allowing the celebration to continue. Xu Xuan explained his true intentions to Bai Yaoyao.
He revealed that the celebration was primarily a gesture of gratitude: to her, for her past injury in retrieving a Heavenly Peach for him, and to the minor demons for their crucial assistance in saving his life and helping Bai Yaoyao in the mortal realm.
His deepest desire was to demonstrate to all heavenly beings that there were no distinctions between humans, deities, or demons, and that Bai Yaoyao, his beloved wife, deserved respect and not to be looked down upon. He presented this opportunity to partake in the Heavenly Peaches as his first gift to her. Meanwhile, Qi Xiao noticed a change in Xiao Qing’s demeanor, describing her gaze as "weird" since their encounter at Mount Jin Temple, making him feel a chill.
Xiao Qing, misunderstanding, thought he was afraid of her. She recounted a scholar who had recited love poems to her centuries ago, and a powerful, unnamed individual who saved her from a thunder shot and other dangers, expressing her confusion about his motives. Qi Xiao, in an uncharacteristic display of anger, admonished her to avoid close contact with strangers, labeling the scholar a liar and warning her of manipulative individuals.
When a celestial crane appeared, he abruptly changed the subject, prompting Xiao Qing to pull him away to taste the Heavenly Peaches, expressing her dislike for him speaking with other women. Later, Green Emperor presented Bai Yaoyao with Xu Xuan's second gift: a "Heart Mirror." He explained that Xu Xuan himself had learned the crafting method to create this mirror for her.
While not as powerful as the Ice Mirror, it was forged from the holy water of Heaven Lake and allowed one to see the person they missed. Bai Yaoyao was touched, vowing to cherish the mirror, understanding its significance as a means to always "see" Xu Xuan. Finally, Xu Xuan led Bai Yaoyao to Mount Li, revealing his third gift: sending her back there to cultivate. Bai Yaoyao was distraught, refusing to leave him, especially so soon after their marriage.
She tearfully realized that all of Xu Xuan's recent actions were part of a pre-meditated plan for their separation. Xu Xuan, resolute, declared that he would rather never see her again than witness her suffer a lonely and bitter life because of the Fate of Seven Prowesses. He was willing to bear that burden himself, emphasizing her inability to withstand its dangers.
Bai Yaoyao accused him of forcing her departure with these "farewell gifts" and rejected his self-sacrifice, questioning how he expected her to live if his body couldn't endure the Fate. She reminded him of her millennium-long search for him and her refusal to lose him again. Defying Xu Xuan's wishes, Bai Yaoyao used her magic to restrain him and began to absorb the Fate of Seven Prowesses into herself.
Xu Xuan was shocked, demanding to know why her spiritual marble was absorbing his fate and why she already harbored the Seven Prowesses. Bai Yaoyao revealed that a portion of the Fate had remained within her after she spent a thousand years nurturing his primordial spirit. Enraged that she had concealed this, especially after enduring thunder shots with the Fate in her body, Xu Xuan shattered the Heart Mirror.
He declared that he would never see her again, believing that this painful separation was the only way to ensure her survival and protect her from future suffering, even if it meant his own eternal loneliness. Bai Yaoyao desperately pleaded with him not to abandon her. Qi Xiao later informed Xu Xuan about the severe danger of the Fate of Seven Prowesses falling into the hands of the demon clan, which could unleash a catastrophe upon all three realms.
He admitted that a thousand years ago, during the revival of Zi Xuan's primordial spirit, no one foresaw Bai Yaoyao absorbing half of the Fate. Understanding the gravity of the situation and his master's manipulative schemes, Xu Xuan resolved to reclaim the remaining half of the Fate from Bai Yaoyao.
Despite the immense risk to his mortal body, he rationalized that if he died, Bai Yaoyao would be free from suffering, and if he survived, he could ascend to High Immortal status early and prevent a major calamity. Qi Xiao, fearing for his friend's life, initially resisted, but Xu Xuan insisted he had no other choice to save Bai Yaoyao from an eternity in darkness.
