Qingxuan, an immortal cultivator who has practiced for 300 years, is about to endure the final thunder tribulation tomorrow to achieve eternal life. But when he passes Qingqiu Village—where he once begged as a child—he finds Ah Zhao, the girl who gave him a bowl of hot porridge years ago, holding her dying brother and begging him to save the villagers being devoured by evil spirits. Breaking the curse requires his prime vitality; using it will destroy 300 years of cultivation and shatter his chance at immortality. That bowl of porridge was the only warmth in his cold childhood, and now that warmth is fading. Staring at Ah Zhao's tears, he realizes: cultivation isn't for eternal life—it's to protect those who once lit up his world. As the thunder tribulation approaches the next day, he turns and steps into the evil formation at the village entrance, with the rising sun behind him and Ah Zhao's cries of "Master Immortal" in his ears.
