Bai Xiaochun was assigned to the Giant Ghost Legion and forced to stay in the military camp with Zhou Zimo, the Red Dust Lady, after the Giant Ghost King arranged their engagement.

Bai Xiaochun was promoted to Inspector of the Emperor Kui Dynasty and raided the Li and Chen Clans under the Grand Celestial Master's orders.

• Gongsun Wan’er overwhelmed Zhou Zimo and devoured tens of thousands of Soul Cultivators, so Bai Xiaochun struck to save Zhou Zimo as she neared death.

Bai Xiaochun used his Turtle Pattern Pot to roll toward the Giant Ghost King and attempt a rescue while loudly pretending to make a desperate sacrifice. His antics turned the battlefield into a spectacle as the five demigods remained trapped by Gongsun Wan'er.

Bai Xiaochun returned from a strange realm to stop the slaughter, only to face the Heavenly Venerable’s plan to refine him and Du Lingfei into an Undying Longevity Pill.
