Oriental Immortal, having mastered an incredible skill, desired to rule the world. However, after a disastrous battle at Blackwood Cliffs that wiped out his entire army and left him severely injured, he vanished. His concubine, Xue Qianxun reorganized the Sun Moon Cult, waiting for his return. Naval Commander Gu Changfeng was incapacitated by Oriental Immortal when he accidentally wandered onto Blackwood Cliff.
After reappearing, Oriental Immortal sought out Xue Qianxun after killing those who impersonated him, finally severing their romantic ties with great pain. Despite past grievances, Gu Changfeng rescued Xue Qianxun and fell in love with her, but she could not forget Oriental Immortal. Determined to once again unify the江湖 (jianghu), Oriental Immortal faced Gu Changfeng, who led the navy in a final battle to stop him. As Xue Qianxun lay dead, Oriental Immortal, holding his beloved concubine, seemed to have gained some enlightenment.
