Synopsis
"Sword and Fairy 3" takes place fifty years before the first generation of "Sword and Fairy". A shop assistant named Jing Tian from Yong'an Pawnshop, due to the mutual attraction of a pair of jade pendants, meets the willful Miss Tang from the prestigious Tang family. In Yuzhou, there are biting demons appearing. With the help of Huaying, the Five Poison Beast, Jing Tian and Xuejian join forces with Xu Changqing, the senior disciple of Mount Shu, to eliminate the demons, but this leads to Xuejian becoming homeless. The demon lord Chonglou pesters the mortal Jing Tian, giving him a magic sword and demanding a duel. Unexpectedly, a girl pops out from the magic sword, calling Jing Tian "Brother Wang." The five elders of Mount Shu send Jing Tian and Xu Changqing to find the Five Spirit Pearls, ascend to the Heavenly Realm to eliminate the evil spirits of the five elders, embarking on a long journey...
The incident begins when the top of the Demon Sealing Tower suddenly collapses, breaking the seal. However, the deeper cause can be traced back a thousand years to the divine realm.
General Feipeng of the Divine Army and General Chonglou of the Demon Army frequently clashed due to conflicts between their realms, always evenly matched. Over time, they developed a mutual respect for each other.
Chonglou proposed that he and Feipeng duel in a newly discovered fairy realm to determine superiority. Feipeng hesitated due to the celestial rules of the divine realm but eventually succumbed to Chonglou's temptation and agreed.
Equally matched, the duel lasted for days. Eventually, it caught the attention of the heavenly court. Emperor Tian sent troops to capture Feipeng for questioning. Sensing the pursuit, Feipeng became distracted, resulting in his defeat and his sword being knocked down to the mortal world by Chonglou...
Time passed, and Feipeng was punished and demoted to a mortal by the divine realm, reincarnated multiple times until becoming Jing Tian, a shop assistant at Xin'an Pawnshop in Yuzhou under the Tang family.
Meanwhile, Chonglou had been seeking Feipeng to complete their unfinished duel. He descended to the mortal world, causing disturbances at Mount Shu, aiming to help Feipeng retrieve his sword. Inadvertently, he damaged the Demon Sealing Tower and unexpectedly obtained the magic sword cast by Feipeng in his first mortal life as Crown Prince Longyang of the Jiang Kingdom.
Jing Tian befriends Miss Xuejian from the Tang family. Later, Chonglou finds Jing Tian, challenges him, and gives him the magic sword, forever changing Jing Tian's life.
Initially entangled in the internal strife of Xuejian's family and the toxic person incident involving Pili Hall, Jing Tian then joins Changqing, the senior disciple of Mount Shu, sent by the sect to the Celestial Pool in the Heavenly Realm to destroy the evil thoughts of the five elders. However, due to Changqing's momentary softness, a calamity is brought upon the six realms...
