Gu Chen had traveled the world with Du Mang during the Eastern Jin dynasty, their enemies then were formidable experts like Elder Kuzhu and Jile Perfected.
Later, his master, the Sky Lusting Sect Leader, committed outrageous evils, invited heavenly punishments upon himself, repeatedly lost to Elder Kuzhu, Jile Perfected, and Master Changmei, had his laboriously refined Magical Treasures continuously destroyed, and his Primordial Qi severely damaged, making him weaker with each battle while their enemies only grew stronger.
Fortunately, they were cunning and adept at spellcasting for escape, fleeing immediately when outmatched, thus they were not entirely annihilated.
Just as Master Changmei was about to ascend, he found Gu Chen, intending to eradicate his body and soul entirely, only to discover he had stolen one of the Daoist books from Ke Yizi and cleverly reached an undying state of Primordial Spirit in an extremely short time.
