Inside Leifeng Pagoda, Yao Yao cried out for Xu Xuan, asking what happened and why he was bleeding so profusely. She rushed over to feel the injury, but touched Xu Xuan's hair instead, realizing it was him, not Fa Hai, who was taking on the demonic energy. Xu Xuan reassured her, saying he would always give her his all.
He created a vivid dream for her, filled with blooming peach blossoms and dazzling fireworks, a beautiful sight she had missed since losing her vision, a dream that was as splendid as daylight in her heart. He promised her a lifetime of happiness, assuring her that her name and destiny were his to protect, and that he wished for them to grow old together in joy. Xu Xuan declared that while all beings were important, none compared to her.
Even if the three realms turned against her, he would sacrifice his life for her smile. After temporarily dispelling the demonic energy around Yao Yao, Xu Xuan came out of Leifeng Pagoda covered in wounds. Fa Hai confronted him about his drastic method of purifying the demonic energy. Xu Xuan explained that using the blood of a deity (derived from his immortal bone) was his only option to both dispel the evil aura and repair Yao Yao's spiritual pearl.
Fa Hai realized that Xu Xuan’s oath was meticulously planned, understanding that if only one could survive, Xu Xuan chose to bear the loneliness for Yao Yao. Xu Xuan admitted he would live, albeit in greater suffering, but feared Yao Yao discovering his sacrifice. Fa Hai expressed regret for allowing Xu Xuan to enter the pagoda, acknowledging their unwavering natures.
Xu Xuan vowed that as long as a fragment of his primordial spirit remained, he would protect Yao Yao from falling into demonhood. He then entrusted Fa Hai with Yao Yao's care while he recovered, emphasizing that she must never know of his ongoing sacrifice. Fa Hai worried about Yao Yao's eventual reaction, wondering if she could still smile after learning of Xu Xuan's pain endured for her dreams.
Eighteen years later, Xu Jiao Rong's daughter, An Le, was preparing to marry Xiao Bao, the child previously adopted by the little demons. The little demons presented various treasures for the wedding, but Xu Jiao Rong stated that her daughter was more precious than any gift. The little demons marveled at the unexpected romance between An Le and Xiao Bao, who had grown up playing together.
They praised An Le's name, signifying a peaceful family life, which stirred a pang of sadness in Xu Jiao Rong as she lamented the absence of Xu Xuan and his family from the celebration. Meanwhile, inside Leifeng Pagoda, Yao Yao observed that the evil spirit tormenting her was decreasing and gradually losing its grip.
She also noted the magic barrier in the pagoda slowly disappearing, leading to peace in Lin'an City, as a prosperous Heaven led to fewer complaints from mortals. She recounted having the same beautiful dream, relying on its splendor to endure the difficult years. Yao Yao mistakenly believed this was due to Fa Hai's assistance, unaware that Xu Xuan had been secretly guarding near the pagoda for years, helping to clear her demonic obstacles.
She asked Fa Hai how he, who didn't sleep or dream, managed to battle the evil aura. Fa Hai simply replied that his heart was clear and not empty, to which Yao Yao playfully remarked that even the evil aura wouldn't bother someone as boring as him.
During this period, Xu Xuan completed numerous feats, consuming years of his effort: he helped the Dragon Tribe rebuild the Eastern Sea, aided the Demon Clan in purifying Bei Huang, and planted a vast plum blossom grove for the Green Emperor on Mount Jiuxi.
He also used a deity herb to reform Xiao Bao’s intelligence, thus discreetly training Xiao Bao as the new Lord of the Apothecary House over eighteen years and ensuring a capable successor for the Apothecary House, a responsibility Xu Xuan took seriously. Xu Xuan revealed to Fa Hai that this final act of purifying Yao Yao's demonic energy was his ultimate wish, having completed all his other desires.
Fa Hai noted that Xu Xuan, no longer resembling a deity but a mere mortal, was destroying himself in the process, a sentiment echoed by a venerable deity who had observed Xu Xuan's unwavering resolve. This deity advised Fa Hai not to interfere, acknowledging Xu Xuan's determination and the possibility that this path might lead to the best outcome.
Xu Xuan told Fa Hai that if he perished, Fa Hai must remind Yao Yao that the promise of the broken bridge could never be broken. Fa Hai pondered if it was Yao Yao's fate to live a solitary life. With his black hair now turned white from years of enduring demonic attacks, Xu Xuan absorbed all remaining evil energy into his own body.
As the Leifeng Pagoda shimmered with its former golden light, Xu Xuan emerged, his primordial spirit nearing annihilation. Fa Hai rushed to tend to him, only to discover that Xu Xuan’s immortal root was severed. Xu Xuan confessed that he had used his immortal root to mend Yao Yao's spiritual pearl, accepting that this meant he would have no chance of life, no reincarnation, and no possibility of reuniting with her.
Fa Hai, heartbroken, questioned Xu Xuan's sacrifice, but Xu Xuan merely stated his desire to banish the magic barrier completely, ensuring Yao Yao's safety and preventing her from ever becoming a devil or being imprisoned in the pagoda again. At that moment, Yao Yao’s eyes regained their sight inside the pagoda, and she tearfully wondered if Xu Xuan was responsible.
Fa Hai observed Xu Xuan fading, reflecting on his journey from an aspiring deity to this selfless end, but Xu Xuan, ever Zi Xuan and Xu Xuan, affirmed that his essence remained unchanged. As the demonic energy fully dissipated from the pagoda, Fa Hai's assistance caused the West Lake to dry and Leifeng Pagoda to collapse, fulfilling the ancient prophecy.
Yao Yao, remembering her promise with Xu Xuan, frantically searched for him in the peach forest, but he was nowhere to be found. The West Lake and Leifeng Pagoda eventually returned to their original forms, but Xu Xuan did not appear for their reunion. Fa Hai lovingly buried the spiritual pearls of the little demons, who had also perished, in the earth behind Fumo Palace, frequently meditating there to offer them peace.
He understood now the profound depth of love through Xiao Qing's enduring spiritual presence and wished to live a simple, human life with her in a future reincarnation. Yao Yao waited seven agonizing days at the Broken Bridge, but Xu Xuan remained absent. A pouring rain began as she wailed, her heart shattered.
She cried that if Xu Xuan had sacrificed his life to free her from demonic barriers, she would rather have remained in the darkness, where at least her heart would have been clear and full of hope, unlike her current state of despair. Accusing him of breaking their sacred promise, she vowed never to trust or wait for him again.
With a final, desperate plea for him to keep his promise in their next life, Yao Yao plunged into the West Lake. In a fleeting vision, she saw Xu Xuan, his hair now white, finally coming to meet her. Concurrent with this, Xiao Qing’s centuries-long waiting for reunion was recounted, her silent endurance echoing Yao Yao's plight.
Fa Hai, too, expressed his own profound, aching loss, admitting that while he couldn't recall her face or name, the pain of a hollowed-out heart was undeniable, a testament to his eternal connection with Xiao Qing.
