To help her mortal Dao companion Cang Ming ascend to immortality, Phoenix Lord Xi Wei willingly leaps from the Immortal-Slaying Platform, surrendering every last bit of her phoenix bone.
> In the first life, he says he must kill his wife to prove his Dao and break through his bottleneck, gently coaxing her into taking her own life at the Cliff of Severed Affections.
> In the second life, just after she awakens a trace of divine power, he lovingly offers her a poison-forged immortal pill. “Sacrifice yourself for me one more time.”
> As she lies near death in the third life, the voice of Emperor Xuan Chen, ruler of the Nine Heavens, pierces the mists of reincarnation: “Xi Wei, look carefully at who he really is!”
> At last, she sees Cang Ming and Bai Lu kissing while her corpse is not yet cold.
> Xi Wei sneers. “Prove your Dao? I’ll get the Emperor on my side and let you prove it to your heart’s content.”
> When she ascends to become ruler of the Nine Heavens, Cang Ming kneels and begs for forgiveness.
> Xuan Chen kisses her fingertips in front of everyone. “Phoenix Lord, shall I crush this ant for you?”
