Life Experiences
Northern Cold Immortal Domain
Receives a secret mission from the Reincarnation Hall to investigate the upcoming opening of the Northern Cold Underworld Immortal Mansion and rescue the Reincarnation Hall’s collaborator, the Gray Immortal. She begins to formulate a plan, travels to the Black Wind Sea to investigate Crimson Moon Island, and appears with a cultivation of mid-True Immortal. She releases a Crimson Moon Island mission through the Impermanence Alliance, a subordinate force of the Reincarnation Hall. She wears a crimson dragon head mask, taking the alias “Jiao Three,” and gathers several Impermanence Alliance members to carry out the mission. Han Li appears among them with the code name “Jiao Fifteen.” She uses fire-based spells to powerfully kill the Lord of Crimson Moon Island, investigating the entrance of the Underworld Immortal Mansion. After leaving the Black Wind Sea, she encounters danger on her way to the Desolate Continent and receives help from Han Li. Gan Jiuzhen gifts Han Li a Purple Breeze Locking Immortal Talisman to thank him. At the Scorpion Gate trade fair in White Jade City, Clock Sound Mountain Range, Ancient Cloud Continent, she exchanges fire-attributed Flying Cloud Fire Essence from Han Li. She obtains the Underworld Mountain and River Map at auction. She returns to the Black Wind Sea a second time, now with a cultivation of mid-Golden Immortal. Her subordinates inform her of the discovery of a Soul Refining Art user and a Dao Alchemist. She uses the fourth layer of the Soul Refining Art to threaten Han Li into joining the Reincarnation Hall, inviting him to become a Child of Reincarnation and refine Void Essence Pills. She orchestrates a rescue.
When the Immortal Mansion emerges, Gan Jiuzhen disguises herself as an old woman named Nan Li and enters the Immortal Mansion, successfully entering the Grand Yi Hall. She feeds the corpse of the Gray Immortal Void Essence Pills, and together with Han Li’s remnant soul, successfully revives the Grand Yi Gray Immortal Mo Yu, completing the Reincarnation Hall’s mission. She also cooperates to resist the Monitoring Immortal Envoy Gong Shulou, displaying one of the Laws of Reincarnation! Recognizing Han Li’s identity as an alchemist, she sincerely invites Han Li to join the Reincarnation Hall again, gifting him the fifth layer of the Soul Refining Art and a method to leave the Northern Cold Immortal Domain, bidding farewell to Han Li.
After the Gray Realm
After breaking through to the early Grand Yi Realm, she travels to the Gray Realm to follow Huangfu Yu and Yu Yang as representatives of the Reincarnation Domain to participate in the Three Domain Alliance. With a cultivation of Peak Grand Yi, she travels to the Little Golden Source Immortal Domain with Hu San to carry out a mission. She encounters Han Li at the Tai Sui Mansion and works with Han Li to complete the mission, rescuing the Black Heaven Demon Ancestor and others, bringing them back to the Reincarnation Hall and informing Han Li of the whereabouts of Jin Tong. She gifts Han Li Time Divine Wood. A hundred years later, she invites Han Li to participate in the Nine Element Temple mission. After breaking through to the early Da Luo Realm, she, Gan Rushuang, Yu Yang, and Han Li infiltrate the Nine Element Temple to seize the Five-Colored Small Bottle. After completing the mission, the Lord of the Reincarnation Hall learns of her parents’ whereabouts. Subsequently, she brings Gan Rushuang back to the Underworld Realm and works with Han Li in the Yellow Springs Marsh to prevent the Bone Emperor’s invasion. In the final palace, she learns that her parents are the Lord of the Reincarnation Hall and Nangong Wan/Gan Rushuang, who has recovered her mother’s memories, and also learns of Han Li’s Time Source, with a complex expression. Later, she sends a message to Han Li that Nangong Wan has been captured by the Heavenly Court. In the finale, Gan Jiuzhen returns to the Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel at the headquarters of the Reincarnation Hall. In her heart, she learns that the Lord of the Reincarnation Hall has fallen and resolves to cultivate the Law of Reincarnation diligently to revive her parents.
