It turns out that the Great Demon God deliberately gives Xue Ying the True Meaning of Fire, with the purpose of killing Xue Ying. Qing Shi becomes a disciple of Bai Yuan Zhi because he wants to learn spells from him. Xue Ying encounters a bottleneck during the practice and asks for help from the masked man, who proposes Xue Ying be loyal to him. Therefore he will let Xue Ying become Transcendent, but he is rejected by Xue Ying and Jing Qiu. (Source: Viu)
