After Zhou Tong fails his tribulation, he returns to the day his junior fellow disciple framed him. Facing the favoritism of his master, Mo Liusu, and his senior and junior sisters, he decisively cuts ties with his former sect and leaves the Yuqing Sect. After joining the Hehuan Sect, he uses his Immortal Emperor consciousness to refine pills and cultivate, heals the sect master's emotional wounds, and repeatedly foils the sect's schemes. By the time his former sect tries to win him back, he has already embarked on a path of cultivation truly his own. The disciple recruitment ceremony and a series of disturbances in the Enforcement Hall bring one unexpected reversal after another, ultimately establishing his new sect's position.
