Spoiler Alert
The Queen Cuts Her Losses
So, Ming Yi finally calms down after learning the truth. She asks the Queen what happened to her real son. The Queen tells a story. She says she gave the baby to Bo Yulan for safekeeping. But the child was weak and died on the journey.
I'm not buying it. And neither is the Queen, really. She admits she suspects Bo Yulan was hiding something. But she needed Ming Xian to keep her status. So she let it go. Now, the Queen's attitude has completely flipped. She tells Ming Yi to get out of Yaoguang Palace. Ming Xin is about to be named crown prince. Ming Yi is officially useless to her. It's cold.
A Son's Identity Comes to Light
The Queen Sees the Truth
Just as Ming Yi is being kicked out, Ji Bozai shows up. He's there to take her away. As they leave, the mark on his forehead suddenly glows. The Queen sees it. She instantly recognizes the mark. It's the one that belongs to her biological child. She's completely shaken. But she says nothing. She just lets them walk away.
Ming Yi Meets Her Real Dad
After leaving the palace, Ming Yi finally meets her birth father, She Tianlin. It's a heavy moment. She sees he has a portrait of her mother, Bo Yuzen, that he's kept all these years. He even rebuilt the entire Bo family home somewhere else, just as it was. You realize he has spent decades silently honoring the woman he lost. He's also been watching over the daughter who never knew him.
She Tianlin hears about Ming Xin working with the Chasing Water Spirit Continent. He is terrified it will ruin Yaoguang Mountain. Ming Yi says she's done with all of it. But her dad knows better. He knows she still cares about protecting the Six Realms. It's just who she is.
Unraveling the Past
Ji Bozai's Investigation Gets Dark
Ji Bozai puts the squeeze on Ming Xin. He forces a critical piece of information out of him. We learn Chao Heng's plot is much bigger than we thought. Taking Heaven of Parting Sorrow and Fleeting Dream isn't just about winning a tournament. It's connected to a secret "Devouring Heaven" formation hidden in the Zhuojin Tower. This is a massive conspiracy.
At the same time, Bu Xiu digs up some dirt. He finds out that years ago, Bo Yulan was constantly asking about Ji Bozai's location. Ji Bozai connects this to his master's last words. He starts to suspect that Bo Yulan taking him in was no accident.
The Awful Truth About Bo Yulan
To get the full story, Ji Bozai unlocks the memory hidden in a portrait. The truth is brutal. He sees it all. Bo Yulan hated the Queen. As revenge, she took him as a baby and just abandoned him in the wilderness. This is how he ended up falling into The Abyss and suffering for so long.
While this is happening, Ming Yi is talking with her father. She puts the pieces together and figures out who Ji Bozai really is. She runs to find him. She suddenly feels a sharp pain through their heart connection. She finds him with tears streaming down his face. The portrait of Bo Yulan bursts into flames and turns to ash.
The Royal Court Explodes
A Son Confronts His Mother
That night, Ji Bozai goes straight to the Queen. He confronts her alone and confirms his identity. She is wrecked with guilt and grief. She wants to make things right. Ji Bozai isn't interested. He leaves without another word. He then tells Bu Xiu to set a trap. He wants Lady Meng to "rescue" Ming Xin. This will make Ming Xin the perfect bait for his real plan. Bu Xiu gives a serious warning. Ji Bozai must not use the Spirit Vow Well before his powers are fully recovered. If he does, his old condition will return, and this time, it will be permanent.
All Hell Breaks Loose
The Yaoguang Divine Lord is holding a grand ceremony. He's about to officially name Ming Xin the crown prince. Suddenly, Ming Yi returns. She shows up in her full female immortal glory. She starts listing every bad thing the Queen has ever done. Then she pulls out the complete Recording Mirror. It’s the ultimate proof.
She exposes everything. She shows how Ming Xin poisoned their own people so Yaoguang Mountain would fail. She reveals his secret deals with Mu Qibai and the Chasing Water Spirit Continent. Ming Xin loses it. Lady Meng tries to create a distraction by questioning Ming Yi’s bloodline. It's a cheap shot.
But then Ji Bozai walks in. He calmly announces that he is the Queen's true son. The Divine Lord and the entire court are stunned into silence.
The Divine Lord's Judgment
The Divine Lord looks closely at the mark on Ji Bozai's forehead. He confirms the truth. He is furious. He immediately passes judgment. Lady Meng and Ming Xin are both sentenced to the "Ten Thousand Jun Punishment." The Queen is placed under house arrest.
But he doesn't stop there. He orders She Tianlin and Ming Yi to be imprisoned. She Tianlin is sentenced to the "Thunder Punishment." And for Ming Yi, the punishment is devastating. Her spirit veins will be destroyed. She will be banished from Yaoguang Mountain forever.
Ji Bozai tries to argue for their release. The Divine Lord refuses. Ming Yi starts to fight back. In response, the Divine Lord pulls out Ming Xian's old magical weapon. He prepares to use it to crush her.
