Yun Zhaoxue, the founding ancestor of the Lingyun Sect, ascended to heaven five hundred years ago. Having long waited in vain for news of her daughter Yun Zhiwei's ascension, she resolves to descend to the mortal realm to investigate. Her former sect has been renamed the Qihuang Sect. Ning Zhenchuan, the sect leader she personally entrusted, out of favoritism toward his niece Ning Feiyu, falsely accused Yun Zhiwei of stealing magical artifacts, stripped her of her golden core and immortal bones, and imprisoned her in the remorse cliff surrounded by poisonous miasma. Breaking into the forbidden grounds and shattering formations, Yun Zhaoxue rescues her mortally endangered daughter, opens court in front of the ancestral hall to retry the case, and step by step exposes the framing conspiracy and the sect's deep-seated corruption. She deposes the corrupt sect leader, re-establishes fair sect rules, restores the old name Lingyun, rectifies wrongs with an iron fist, safeguards her daughter's safety, and leads the sect back to the righteous path.
