Features: Changjie, accompanied by his companions, embarks on a journey north to find his relatives, encountering various dangers and hardships. Along the way, they help Emperor Yan Shennong defeat the Snake Mother, forming an alliance. They come to understand the immense power of writing and agree to assist Emperor Yan in writing medical texts. To explain the division of their empire due to a mistake in the net, Emperor Yan takes Changjie and You Ji to the Yellow Emperor's city on Kunlun Mountain. The two experience the strange realms depicted in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and endure the tests of "wisdom, benevolence, and courage." The Yellow Emperor intentionally arranges for them to navigate the Yin-Yang fish-shaped Tai Chi diagram, the five-colored altar, and the Eight Trigrams Street. However, General Feng Hou mistakes them for troublemakers and relentlessly chases them, only to be saved by Yinglong. Enraged, Changjie retaliates by crashing the treasure carriage and, along with You Ji, jumps into a well to escape. Not only do they miss the opportunity to meet their maternal grandfather, the Yellow Emperor, but they also find themselves in a dire situation.
