Si will not let Xan hit her, but ends up getting push back hard. Can prepares to kill Si, but gets protected by the Dragon QI. Can leaves the room.

Some nights later, Can is contacted by Nuan Yu during the Material Arts Competition and is informed about a strong male who entered. At first, Can assumed the male was Bai Jing Feng from the Bai Family. However, Yu tells her it's Chu Qing from the Chu Family and his realm is at the level of Transformation. Hearing this, Can will send someone to investigate the matter. After her talk with Yu, Can summons the elderly woman, Dan to discuss about Qing. Dan mentions about a prophesy long ago from a saint who reached Holy Realm predicting that the world would not always care for women, and when a male cultivator who reached the point of Transformation Realm, the Empire would under go great changes. Can forbids this to happen and wants to eliminate Qing as she doesn't want the Empire she'll take over to change by then. One of the seven elders, Feng Xi comes in with reports. Can states she wants to return to the Empire because the tribe has been wiped out of history thanks to the Empress and doesn't want her people to keep hiding on an island forever. She wants to pay back the Empress and dethrone her once and for all. Can orders Feng Xi to inform their allies to kill Qing at the Material Arts Competition.

Two nights later, Can contacts Yu stating how their people are exposed and kept hidden since they failed to kill Qing. She requests Yu to have the 6 King's help to continue their assassination on Qing. Can informs Yu on Si's escape and to have her eyes open if Si has fled to the Imperial Capital.

Many days later on the night of the Empress's birthday, Can and Dan see a photo being shown by Feng Xi of Qing and Si having dragon spirits. Feng Xi says there was a scene of a dragon circling the palace. Many people said after the brilliance sprinkled by the dragon melted into their bodies, they instantly felt boundless energy. Can asks Dan if there really are dragons in the Empire. Dan says the secrets of the Empire, the Dragon and the Empress will sooner or later be made public saying it has to due with the Dragon Blood. Can seems to be jealous of her sister getting power and love so easily stating if she becomes the next Empress, she can make the true Blood Dragon disappear forever. Dan mentions If the blood of the real dragon disappears, the empire will also be overthrown. Can does not care as she won't let anyone else get the dragon, especially her sister. Dan continues saying that dragon hovering on the palace is Si and that's a gesture of the purest bloodline, and the spiritual power of the empire will be enriched again and is the recovery of the blood of the real dragon. As Dan walks out of the room, she reminds Can of her low personality which can't support a huge empire. Can asks Feng Xi if she also thinks that she is not worthy of being an empress. Xi thinks there is no match for it since Can has been dormant for many years to regain the throne making perfect preparations. Feng Xi says Can should try again and Can agrees. Can brings up about how she put poison in Si's body years ago. She believes even if her sister is happy to be with her daughter again, but to loose her during the concubine's baptismal ceremony. Can orders Xi to have the first, second, and fourth elders to make preparations and give the Empress a great gift at the baptismal ceremony.

The next day, Can is informed about her daughter, Di Xi is now free from the Empress and sends the elders to go fetch and teleport her to the beach near the Capital. Upon seeing Xi, Can is happy, but traps her daughter in a force field and brings out a woman's corpse to make Xi a material artist since the Empress didn't make her one. Xan transfers the corpse's talent into Xi and her daughter falls into a coma. Can notes that Xi has suffered over the years. Can tells the elders their position will be exposed sooner or later and instead of being passively beaten, it is better if they take the initiative and wants Si to die at the canonization ceremony of the concubine.

Over a month later, Can is informed that Qing, Jiang Lian, and Ling Ruo Chan have come to Xuan Nu Palace's island and waits in the castle for them to pass the traps and realms. The three make it to the castle and have Qing enter in since he's qualify to compete with Can and having Lian and Ruo Chan to wait outside. Can is approached by Qing and takes off her mask since Qing knows her identity. The two then proceed to test out their strength in power. Can brings out her "Fire Sword" and goes to strike Qing, but Qing blocks her attack by bring out his golden sword. The two blast their way from the roof into the sky. Can is surprised that Qing is able to cultivate to such a high level. Qing says Can has been huddled on the small island, sitting, and watching the sky. Can uses her avatar technique to multiply herself into three. Qing blocks and attacks one of the illusions. Can feels insulted that Qing is making fun of her as no one ever did before and brings out her full power showing an image of a large warrior like woman appearing behind her and fires blue flames at Qing, but he dodges them. Qing summons his gold dragon and both sides collide causing a huge explosion on the island. Can is defeated, but manages to escape.

On a ship, Can is being checked up on by the sixth and seventh elders, Feng Xi and Xi Ning tending to her wounds. Can comments it's the first time in twenty years that she's been beaten by someone that powerful. She orders the elders to get ready to fire their first shot out of the island and also capture Qing's family alive. Can meets up with the fifth elder, Bai Ling asking about the Holy Stone to which Ling says there were fluctuations, but has quiet down. Can states the stone is their biggest bargaining chip and it can limit Qing and must protect it.

### Empire Versus Xuan Nu Palace Arc

The next day, Can sends out her people to Jing Men to search and capture Qing's family by destroying the city.

Two days after, Can along with Feng Xi go to Yunjiang River to find the river dragon Wu Jiao. When the dragon was found, Can uses her power to take complete control of Jiao and uses his power to make the river flood into the city. As the two woman with Jiao prepare to leave the river, they are confronted by Qing. Can uses Jiao to fire his breath to attack Qing. Qing is annoyed that Jiao would attack the one who awaken him as his father, but Can tells him the dragon is under her command and doesn't recognize Qing at all. Feng Xi lets Can know they have other important business to deal with and not waste time with Qing using her powers to hold Qing from going after them. Can agrees and they escape from Qing.

At Cloud Mountain above the river in a cave, Can notes how the White Dragon God choose the Empress from the start and not her because of the dragon blood, but doesn't matter to her one bit since she can control dragons. Can pulls out Jiao's pearl from within his body and absorbs it into her daughter Xi and awakens. Xi asks if Can still wants to take the throne to which Can says she does believing the throne should be past down to a talented Queen and not a wasted one who inherited the dragon blood. Xi's father passed away early and have always regarded the rulers has her parents and never forgotten how cruel Can was to torture Yang Yang. Xi states she doesn't want to see someone die again by pulling out a dagger stabbing herself wanting to die. Shock by this, Can wonders how she had a daughter like Xi and will not allow her to die. Can uses "Human Puppet Sorcery" on Xi stating how kind her daughter is and will make her to be a puppet for killing believing Xi should be like her. Feng Xi comes to witness, but is angrily ordered to stay outside not to let no one in and the Sorcery is complete as Can places a seal on Xi's chest. As Feng Xi heals Can's injuries, Can asks Feng Xi if she thinks she's cruel. Feng Xi says all Can just wants to fight against an unfair fate. Can is relieved by Feng Xi's words and orders her to let Ling set up an enchantment at the cave door and everything else goes according to plan.

Can's plan is to spread false reports to the Empire saying she's the real dragon girl and also saying the White Dragon God didn't choose the Empress and was killed by the Empress, but her lie was exposed by the Empress and worse, seeing Dragon God carrying Qing on top of her head being furious that her plan failed. Shockingly, the Holy Stone appears to Can talking straight at her saying the body of the white dragon has disappeared and only the soul remains and the golden dragon who came back is the trouble one. Can asks what the stone is to which the stone answers it is the master of the world to which it created and it was it who gave the power to women and Can becoming the strongest in the world and only a certain woman can become a Goddess, but she will come to destroy the stone when she is about to die. The stone gives Can strength and orders her to kill the golden dragon.

A few days later, Can senses Qing has come to the cave and as he gets further into the cave, she ambushes him while laughing hysterical saying he's no long an opponent for her. They both blast out of the cave into the skies while they get the attention of the Xuan Nu Palace warriors. Qing asks Can what sorcery did she practice to which Can answers it's the most orthodox ancient material arts in the world. Can is asked by Ling if she needs help to which Can doesn't need it as she wants to show Qing that she's the woman who stands at the top of all warriors and summons her warrior giant merging as one. Qing thrusts a gigantic sword, but Can easily destroys it and he transforms in to his gigantic golden dragon form and fires his breath at Can realizing Qing is the golden dragon. Qing chomps down on the giant warrior's head causing Can to scream in pain, but the holy stone comes out attacking Qing and saves Can. As the holy stone overpowers Qing preparing to finish him, Xi unexpectedly binds Qing with a chain giving him to Tang Zi Yan who's in butterfly mode and both Qing and Zi Yan escape. The stone wants to crush Xi for her interference, but Can begs the stone not to. The stone tells Can it want kill Xi, but Can should exchange her daughter's life for the golden dragon. Can orders Feng Xi and Ling to search and find Qing and bring him to her.

The day after, Can sees that the barrier is broken by Qing, their position is exposed, and believes she lost. However, the holy stone tells her not to be afraid and will lend Can its strength so she can kill Qing. The stone miniaturizes and attaches on Can's chest becoming one transforming the woman in to a goddess. Qing arrives to confront the goddess Can. Can's body is full of strength and will kill Qing. The two battle, but just like before, Can is defeated once again with the stone calling her a useless woman. Qing grabs Can by the neck in attempt to remove the stone from her chest, but the stone refuse to be defeated letting out a massive screech and inhales people's cultivation and take their lives making Qing to set up a boundary protecting him, his allies, the army, and some of the Xuan Warriors. Can notices the stone trying to kill Feng Xi and begs it not to. The stone tells her Feng Xi is a spy and deserves death. As Qing saves Feng Xi, Can is furious for trusting Feng Xi for a long time. Can and the stone use "Death Court" to injure Qing preparing to end him, but Qing summons the Dao Yun spell under Can's feet explaining he cultivated hard in the world of cultivating immortals and his sword is the strongest weapon he found. He manages to separate the holy stone from Can's body pushing Can out of the spell and binding the stone. After Qing destroys the holy stone and collapse, Can attempts to take his life, but her daughter strikes at her only for Feng Xi to take the attack and dies.
