Immortal Samsara Recap

Episode 1 Recap

The aloeswood burner emitted curling blue smoke, and a faint lotus fragrance floated in the air. Fairy Lotus Yan Dan stood on the Bridge of Nothingness at the Heavenly Gallows. Her white dress fluttered in the wind. She was as beautiful as a flower, but her heart was like still water. The man with his back to her was called Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan of the Immortal Realm. Ying Yuan stood there motionless.

Yan Dan was completely disheartened, regretting that she had ever loved him. With tears in her eyes, she bid farewell to this world and plunged into the bottomless azure cold pond. The story traces back to five hundred years ago. The ancient remnant race left behind two four-leaf lotuses blooming side-by-side. The entire lotus plant was a supreme medicinal treasure.

The Supreme Majesty of the Immortal Realm held a Jade Pool Feast for this, inviting people from the Demon, Devil, and Underworld realms to admire this rare treasure. Fairy Yingdeng, the attendant of the Magical Pavilion, searched around in the crowd but did not see Ying Yuan. She inquired with Star Deity JiDu, who knew Ying Yuan was arrogant and would not come here to join the fun.

At this very moment, Ying Yuan was leisurely drinking tea and playing chess in his Yanxu Heavenly Palace. Demon Elder Shuo Hua wanted to use these two four-leaf lotuses to celebrate the birthday of Demon King Xuan Xiang. Marshal Huode, the general of the immortal soldiers, stepped out to stop him and even sneered at Xuan Xiang, who was not yet ten thousand years old. This angered Shuo Hua, who threatened to snatch the lotus flowers.

The two started fighting immediately after disagreeing. Shuo Hua pressed him step by step with deadly moves. Huode gradually couldn't match him. Shuo Hua used his ultimate move to try and seize the treasures. Celestial Deity Beiming, Star Deity JiDu, and Fairy Yingdeng also joined the battle. The two sides fought fiercely. Ying Yuan arrived in time and subdued Shuo Hua effortlessly. He saved the two four-leaf lotuses and transformed them into two beautiful maidens.

Shuo Hua was furious and gnashed his teeth, threatening to depose Ying Yuan. The Supreme Majesty arrived upon hearing the news, affirmed Ying Yuan's actions, and told him to name the two girls. Ying Yuan named them Zhi Xi and Yan Dan. From then on, the two sisters remained in the Immortal Realm. Three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhi Xi was naturally intelligent and eager to learn, and she was promoted to Deputy Attendant of the Magical Pavilion. She hoped Yan Dan would make a name for herself by passing the immortal arts examination. Yan Dan was not interested in this; she preferred to be an unknown little immortal attendant. The fairies discussed privately, hoping to see Yan Dan fail the exam.

Yan Dan simply decided to secretly set up a gambling game with Lu Ming, an immortal attendant from the Scripture Repository, both hoping to make a fortune from this opportunity. The Magical Pavilion held a Ceremony of Catching Stars once every five hundred years. All those with immortal ranks gathered at the Corner of Heaven to receive blessings from the four Sovereign Lords. Yan Dan was eager to participate, but low-ranked individuals like her were forbidden to enter.

Moreover, the Corner of Heaven was heavily guarded. Lu Ming wanted to find another way to broaden her horizons. Zhi Xi led the immortal attendants in preparing for the ceremony. Fairy Yingdeng, the attendant, arrived afterward, plucked the lotus flower from Zhi Xi's head, and tore it to pieces. She also assigned her to stand guard in the most remote corner. Zhi Xi could only comply. Lu Ming secretly brought the Merman race treasure, the Merman Orb Mirror.

He tried his best but couldn't activate it. Yan Dan and he worked together to activate the Merman Orb Mirror. The ceremony had already begun. Due to insufficient spiritual power, they only saw Ying Yuan's back in the mirror before the connection broke. Ying Yuan's spiritual power transformed into countless stars that fell from the sky. All the immortals bowed down to him in worship.

The immortal attendants of the Stone Repository had long heard that Ying Yuan was handsome and talented, and possessed powerful spiritual power. Knowing that Ying Yuan lived in seclusion, they had never seen his true appearance. Yan Dan felt that Ying Yuan was nothing special. Back then, after Ying Yuan saved the two sisters, he had pointed out to their faces that of the twins, one was strong and one was weak, and Zhi Xi was the weak one.

Yan Dan held a grudge about this matter. After the ceremony ended, Zhi Xi collected the scattered stars into a porcelain bottle. Fairy Yingdeng spoke harshly to her and also ridiculed Yan Dan for being gluttonous and lazy. Zhi Xi argued with her reasonably, exposing her shameful act of framing the previous attendant Si Xuan. Fairy Yingdeng was enraged and reached out to snatch the porcelain bottle from Zhi Xi's hand.

Ying Yuan arrived in time to stop her and severely reprimanded Fairy Yingdeng. Zhi Xi immediately gave the porcelain bottle filled with stars to Yan Dan. She wanted to achieve immortality early so she could have powerful magic like Ying Yuan to protect Yan Dan. Yan Dan liked reading and writing plays, and single-mindedly wanted to become a renowned playwright. The two sisters encouraged each other. Yan Dan was naturally playful and mischievous.

She was assigned to be an immortal attendant beside Celestial Deity Beiming. Celestial Deity Beiming told her to feed fish at Suspended Heart Cliff. There was an immortal turtle on a large stone at the entrance. The immortal turtle was flipped over every day, but Yan Dan had never found the perpetrator. One day, Yan Dan went out and saw the immortal turtle flipped over again. She quickly chased after the person. That person was Ying Yuan.

Yan Dan found him familiar but couldn't remember where she had seen him before. Just as she was about to reach out and grab Ying Yuan to see Celestial Deity Beiming, Ying Yuan gently flicked his sleeve and floated away. Yan Dan went to Celestial Deity Beiming to report the matter.

Celestial Deity Beiming told her to catch the person who did the bad deed and promised to lend her the sole copy of the Four Riverside Dreams play script after the matter was resolved. Yan Dan naturally couldn't ask for more. Celestial Deity Beiming was diligently trying to solve a chess game set by Ying Yuan—the Six Crowns Game. He couldn't figure it out despite much thinking. Yan Dan revealed the immortal secret in one sentence.

Celestial Deity Beiming successfully solved the chess game and praised Yan Dan endlessly. He promised to let her come early and leave early. Ying Yuan saw this scene from afar and couldn't help but exclaim that Yan Dan was a rare talent. Yan Dan seized every moment to write plays. She wanted to finish this grand play as soon as possible to help Zhi Xi achieve immortality early.

If one wants to become a Celestial Deity, they must undergo trials in the mortal realm. At that time, she would ask the Supreme Majesty to undergo these hardships on behalf of Zhi Xi. Early one morning, Yan Dan took Lu Ming to catch the person flipping the immortal turtle. She tied a thread to the turtle's leg and then squatted hidden not far away, quietly waiting for that person to arrive.

Ying Yuan flipped the turtle without anyone noticing and took the opportunity to tease Yan Dan, laughing at her for being foolish. Yan Dan was so angry she gnashed her teeth. Yan Dan went to Celestial Deity Beiming to report the matter. She unintentionally saw the immortal attendant Shi Yun taking care of Princess Chao Lan and Dragon Son Ao Xuan, sent by the Dragon Totem. Yan Dan reached out to tease the two little dragons.

As a result, Ao Xuan bit her. Yan Dan swung her hand hard in pain. Ao Xuan was flung into the nearby lotus pond, landing right on a small black fish. Yan Dan quickly rushed over to rescue it. Shi Yun rescued Ao Xuan. The little black fish glared angrily at Yan Dan. Yan Dan repeatedly apologized. The little black fish swam away indignantly. Yan Dan thought she would talk to him after he transformed into human form.

Yan Dan wanted to learn some magic to deal with the person who flipped the turtle. She went to Zhi Xi for help. Zhi Xi was carrying the Hunyuan Jade Belt and heading to Yanxu Heavenly Palace. She agreed to teach Yan Dan some magic. Yan Dan was ecstatic and excitedly hugged Zhi Xi tightly, accidentally knocking the Hunyuan Jade Belt from Zhi Xi's hand onto the ground. The gems on it shattered into pieces. Zhi Xi was terrified; this was Ying Yuan's favorite Jade Belt.

Episode 2 Recap

The Hunyuan Jade Belt had accompanied Ying Yuan for two thousand years, and he loved it like a treasure. The chief immortal attendant discovered the Hunyuan Jade Belt was destroyed and worried she had no way to explain to Ying Yuan. Yan Dan volunteered to take on all the blame, so the chief immortal attendant took her to explain to Ying Yuan.

Elder Zhan Yi instigated internal strife within the demon race and also used emotions to seduce Si Xuan, the former attendant of the Magical Pavilion. Si Xuan and he colluded from within and without to snatch and steal the Nine Heavens' most powerful magical artifact. Marshal Huode led the immortal soldiers to rise up in resistance but returned without success. Huode sent someone to invite Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan arrived in time to subdue Zhan Yi and force him to hand over the magical artifact. Zhan Yi flatly refused, ordering Ying Yuan's execution. Ying Yuan was tightly surrounded by the demon race people. He had no choice but to reveal his Asura Totem ultimate skill, utterly defeating Zhan Yi and his followers. Only before dying did Zhan Yi realize Ying Yuan was actually a descendant of the Asura Totem.

It turns out that Ying Yuan's father was a member of the Asura Totem. He seduced an immortal maiden to give birth to Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan's mother sacrificed herself and perished together with her husband. Before dying, she entrusted Ying Yuan to the Supreme Majesty. The Supreme Majesty erased the unique black markings of the Asura Totem on Ying Yuan's forehead, hid his identity, and worried he would be hunted.

Demon King Xuan Xiang, the Lord of the demon race, secretly helped. Ying Yuan quickly quelled the demon race rebellion. He returned to report back to the Supreme Majesty and also spoke out his inner concerns. Xuan Xiang was free-spirited by nature and had no ambition for power. The demon race Elders took the opportunity to rebel.

Ying Yuan worried Xuan Xiang would be replaced by the powerful demon race Elders, which would be the biggest hidden danger to the Six Realms. The Supreme Majesty sent Ying Yuan to resist the demon race invasion. Si Xuan was to be executed for colluding privately with the demon race's Zhan Yi. The Supreme Majesty personally came to supervise the execution. Ying Yuan pleaded for Si Xuan.

The Supreme Majesty agreed that as long as Si Xuan was willing to admit her mistake, she would be exempted from the death penalty and banished to the mortal realm. Si Xuan adamantly refused to repent and also pointed out that the Heavenly rules were unjust. The Supreme Majesty was enraged and humiliated, condemning Si Xuan for losing her righteousness for love, which caused great chaos in the demon race. The Supreme Majesty reminded Ying Yuan not to be soft-hearted.

On the surface, everything in the Six Realms was peaceful, but in reality, undercurrents were surging privately. All races were waiting for Ying Yuan to make a mistake. The Supreme Majesty reminded Ying Yuan not to be trapped by emotions, otherwise, it would be a catastrophe for the Six Realms. Si Xuan was determined to seek death. Ying Yuan advised her not to be deluded, saying Zhan Yi did not mention her before dying.

Si Xuan did not care at all, retorted sarcastically at him, and also questioned whether Ying Yuan could have emotions. Ying Yuan had no choice but to order her execution. Yan Dan knelt at Yanxu Heavenly Palace to plead guilty. Ying Yuan rushed back hastily. Yan Dan did not expect the person who flipped the turtle was actually Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan punished her by making her sweep the side hall of Yanxu Heavenly Palace until she repaired the Hunyuan Jade Belt. Yan Dan bid farewell to Celestial Deity Beiming. Celestial Deity Beiming gave her a magical artifact. Yan Dan agreed to help him solve a chess game before leaving and also revealed that Ying Yuan was the bad person who flipped the turtle.

While helping Celestial Deity Beiming solve the chess game, Yan Dan scolded Ying Yuan as a petty person. Ying Yuan heard clearly from the side and punished Yan Dan by making her copy immortal arts and the chess game. The more Yan Dan thought about it, the angrier she got, so she came to find Zhi Xi and Lu Ming to vent her grievances. Zhi Xi kindly advised her, but Yan Dan still held a grudge.

Fairy Yingdeng saw that Ying Yuan wanted to cultivate Yan Dan and concluded that Yan Dan was showing off. She spoke mockingly to Zhi Xi. Yan Dan decided to create a play using the Nine-Finned race, which was annihilated in the Creation War, as the prototype. The script was named “Legend of the Creation Hero”. She and Lu Ming discussed and finalized the outline of the script, and even overnight found immortal attendants to rehearse at Pixiang Palace.

The little black fish was the only survivor of the Nine-Finned race. He transformed into human form and accidentally saw Yan Dan rehearsing the play about the Nine-Finned race. He was deeply moved in his heart. The rehearsal ended very late. Yan Dan continued to stay up late writing. The little black fish secretly came to find Yan Dan, wanting to know the subsequent development of the play. Yan Dan learned that he was a descendant of the Nine-Finned race.

She not only let him be a little follower but also gave him the name Yu Heitu. The little black fish felt the name was not pleasant to hear and strongly requested to be called Yu Mo. Yan Dan had no choice but to agree. Yan Dan quickly repaired the jade belt. Ying Yuan was not satisfied and made her continue repairing it. Ying Yuan was racking his brain over an unsolvable chess game.

Yan Dan revealed the key in one sentence. Ying Yuan looked at her with new eyes. Yan Dan personally cooked a late-night snack and shared it with Yu Mo. Yu Mo praised her cooking skills profusely and casually asked about the script's writing progress. Yan Dan talked incessantly as she explained it. Yu Mo listened with great interest.

Yan Dan and Yu Mo went to the Scripture Repository to look through ancient books and search for information about the Creation War. They found that after the war, the Supreme Majesty brought the Kunlun Sacred Tree back to the Nine Heavens. The two of them wanted to take a quick look.

Lu Ming desperately tried to stop them, saying that the tree relied on absorbing spiritual power to live, and once entangled, one would lose all their spiritual power and also receive severe punishment. Yan Dan and Yu Mo simply did not listen. The two of them secretly came to Di Ya and saw an immortal attendant tightly entangled by the vines of the Kunlun Sacred Tree. That person claimed falsely that he had accidentally strayed into Di Ya.

Yan Dan saw at a glance that he was lying because there were knife marks on the tree. That immortal attendant wanted to steal the sap of the Kunlun Tree to make immortal elixir. Yan Dan forced him to reveal the mastermind. The big tree's vines suddenly surrounded Yan Dan. Yu Mo rushed forward without hesitation to protect Yan Dan and was consequently entangled by the vines.

Episode 3 Recap

Lu Ming rushed over after hearing the news and told Yan Dan to find someone with a high immortal rank to save Yu Mo. Without a second thought, Yan Dan went to find someone and ran into Star Deity JiDu. Star Deity JiDu took action to save Yu Mo and got him down. Star Deity JiDu's power was immense, second only to the Four Sovereign Lords, and he was humble. Yan Dan praised him endlessly.

Yan Dan carved a lotus flower on Yu Mo's arm, promising to protect him at all costs. From then on, they would share honor and disgrace. Yu Mo felt warm in his heart. Before she died, Si Xuan colluded with Zhan Yi of the demon race, stealing many ancient magical artifacts and secretly bringing demon race spies to the Nine Heavens.

Ying Yuan found that the spies were entering and exiting Di Ya and asked the Supreme Majesty for permission to destroy it. Ying Yuan brought Star Deity JiDu to Di Ya and used Sovereign Lord Zhaosheng's divine artifact Li Chen to clear it out. Star Deity JiDu wanted to seal the exit, but Ying Yuan quickly stopped him, wanting to leave it as bait.

Ying Yuan and Star Deity JiDu discussed finding other spies hidden in the Nine Heavens as quickly as possible. Star Deity JiDu found that the spies were disguised as immortal attendants from Miluo Palace. They lived secluded lives, never interacted with anyone, and left no clues. The two of them went to patrol the main street, Tianjie, which was the only way in and out.

Ying Yuan discovered five-petal plum blossoms carved on the palace wall, but only one was six-petaled. He plucked the extra petal and found intelligence written in demon race script on it. He went to superior deity Tao Ziqi to decipher it. Yan Dan took Yu Mo to the Taiyou Pavilion to secretly stew soup. She suddenly had a whim and wanted to teach Yu Mo defensive magic. Yu Mo was dismissive but couldn't refuse her.

Yu Mo gave it a try and his power was immense. Yan Dan didn't have time to think much. Celestial Deity Zihuai from Taiyou Pavilion arrived with his immortal attendants after hearing the news. Yan Dan had no choice but to hide Yu Mo. Celestial Deity Zihuai set up a barrier at the entrance, trapping them inside. Yan Dan decided to go out and admit her mistake first, promising to find a chance to rescue Yu Mo.

Yan Dan bravely came out, falsely claiming she was stewing soup for Ying Yuan. Celestial Deity Zihuai went to Yanxu Heavenly Palace to admit his mistake to Ying Yuan, who was completely unaware of this. Yan Dan knelt on the ground, crying and wailing, accusing Ying Yuan of lying and being heartless. She even dragged Celestial Deity Zihuai to stand up for her. Celestial Deity Zihuai was so scared he fled. Yan Dan admitted her mistake to Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan punished her by making her copy immortal arts and the chess game. Yu Mo advised Yan Dan to leave quickly, but Yan Dan wanted to stay and expose Ying Yuan's true colors. Yan Dan racked her brain and came up with a good idea. She wanted to help the immortal turtle cultivate its immortal body so that the immortal turtle could testify about Ying Yuan's quirks. Yan Dan looked through ancient books and found a method.

Ignoring Yu Mo's objections, she performed acupuncture on the immortal turtle, which fainted on the spot. Yu Mo used a little trick to bring the immortal turtle back to life. Early one morning, Yan Dan found the immortal turtle flipped over again. She gritted her teeth in anger and secretly swore to teach Ying Yuan a lesson. Ying Yuan and Star Deity JiDu played chess while discussing how to capture the demon race spies.

Yan Dan brought them different teas, having secretly put medicine in Ying Yuan's tea cup beforehand. Ying Yuan immediately saw through it and wanted to swap with Star Deity JiDu. Yan Dan was so scared she quickly stopped him. She had no choice but to get another identical cup of tea. Yan Dan was unwilling to give up. While Ying Yuan was taking a hot spring bath, she stole his clothes.

However, Ying Yuan discovered her and even humiliated her, which made Yan Dan even angrier. Not long after, Yan Dan finished repairing the Hunyuan Jade Belt. She brought it to Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan forcibly put a Buli bracelet on her. As long as Yan Dan got close to Ying Yuan, she would be bounced far away. Yan Dan cried out in agony.

Elder Shuohua amassed a hundred thousand troops and was recruiting everywhere, wanting to conquer the immortal realm in one fell swoop. Demon King Xuan Xiang strongly opposed this. The two argued, neither giving way to the other. Yan Dan tried to avoid Ying Yuan everywhere, but Ying Yuan was still relentless. As soon as they met, he would use the Buli bracelet magic, making Yan Dan miserable.

She had no choice but to ask Lu Ming for advice on a trick to defeat him in one move. Lu Ming suggested she use a honey trap to charm Ying Yuan, but this would violate heavenly rules. Yan Dan was unwilling to give up. She wanted to launch a surprise attack on Ying Yuan but was subdued by him instead.

Episode 4 Recap

Fairy Yingdeng was once an immortal attendant at Yanxu Heavenly Palace, cultivated by Ying Yuan, and now she has been promoted to manager of the Magical Pavilion. She personally sewed a jade belt for Ying Yuan using top-quality cloud brocade and accessories, but Ying Yuan did not appreciate it. Fairy Yingdeng repeatedly claimed that Yan Dan was vulgar and unworthy of repairing Ying Yuan's jade belt, saying she should repair it for him using gold and silver threads.

An immortal attendant happened to deliver the immortal arts scriptures copied by Yan Dan. Fairy Yingdeng was unconvinced, unable to believe that the low-ranking Yan Dan could access these. Just as she reached out to take them, the paper sheets suddenly flew around erratically, scattering all over the floor on the spot. It turned out that Yan Dan was controlling this from outside the door, simply wanting to teach Ying Yuan a lesson.

She was triumphant in her heart and even left a note saying "I won" to show off to Ying Yuan. Fairy Yingdeng was very angry and demanded a heavy punishment for Yan Dan, but Ying Yuan was unconcerned and forbade Fairy Yingdeng from interfering in Yanxu Heavenly Palace's affairs, forcibly driving her away. When Fairy Yingdeng went out, she saw Yan Dan and scoffed at her.

Ying Yuan punished Yan Dan by making her copy the "Heart Purification Incantation" ten times. Yan Dan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Yan Dan brought the immortal attendants to Pixiang Hall to rehearse a script. Fairy Yingdeng arrived with her people to cause trouble, forbidding Yan Dan from coming here again and even speaking disrespectfully to her sister, Zhi Xi. Yan Dan refused to accept this and debated with her reasonably.

In a fit of anger, Fairy Yingdeng attacked her. Yan Dan used all her spiritual power, but was still unable to resist. Fortunately, Ying Yuan arrived in time to rescue them, giving Fairy Yingdeng a severe lecture. Fairy Yingdeng had no choice but to leave resentfully. Zhi Xi heard that Yan Dan and Fairy Yingdeng had a conflict, so she came to comfort Yan Dan.

After staying for a while, she was anxious to leave, needing to send seven damaged magical artifacts to Qianyung Palace overnight to be burned together. Yan Dan learned that a Ziwei bottle was among them and remembered that Star Deity JiDu and Ying Yuan had mentioned demon race spies using Ziwei bottles and divine tree sap to refine poison, guessing that this was Ying Yuan's plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

Yan Dan was worried that Zhi Xi would be in danger, so she came to beg Ying Yuan to change the bait. Ying Yuan flatly refused, saying he had already made meticulous arrangements to ensure Zhi Xi would not be in danger. Yan Dan voluntarily offered to deliver the magical artifacts on behalf of Zhi Xi. Ying Yuan could not argue her out of it and had to agree.

Fairy Yingdeng received Ying Yuan's secret order, asked Zhi Xi for the seven magical artifacts, and sent someone to deliver them to Yanxu Heavenly Palace. Fairy Yingdeng suspected Yan Dan and Zhi Xi had other motives, severely slapped Zhi Xi, and casually mentioned that Yan Dan was delivering the magical artifacts for Zhi Xi. Zhi Xi was greatly puzzled. Yan Dan used the Appearance Transformation Technique to transform into Zhi Xi's appearance.

She escorted the seven magical artifacts to Qianyung Palace. Ying Yuan was constantly monitoring Yan Dan's every move from Yanxu Heavenly Palace. Zhi Xi was worried and quietly followed Yan Dan to the outside of Qianyung Palace to see what was happening. Celestial Deity Yanchi examined the seven magical artifacts one by one. Yan Dan wanted to personally witness these artifacts being sent into the alchemical furnace.

Celestial Deity Yanchi took advantage of no one paying attention and hid the Ziwei bottle in his sleeve. Yan Dan saw everything. Just then, Zhi Xi was caught and brought in. Celestial Deity Yanchi exposed Yan Dan's true identity and intended to kill Yan Dan to silence her. Zhi Xi rushed forward and fought with Celestial Deity Yanchi, but was quickly defeated. Yan Dan stepped forward to face the challenge. The two fought fiercely.

Ying Yuan arrived in time and subdued Celestial Deity Yanchi effortlessly. Yan Dan was so frightened that she clung tightly to Ying Yuan and did not let go, also mentioning that the Ziwei bottle was in Celestial Deity Yanchi's hands. Yan Dan sent Zhi Xi back to the Magical Pavilion. She unintentionally overheard the immortal attendants privately discussing Zhi Xi, mocking her lack of spiritual power. Yan Dan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and yelled at them.

Zhi Xi felt inferior and advised Yan Dan to leave quickly to avoid being difficult for Fairy Yingdeng. The more Zhi Xi thought about it, the sadder she became. After she and Yan Dan transformed into human form, they learned magic. Although she tried her best, she still couldn't grasp the essentials, while Yan Dan often skipped class but became highly proficient. The immortal attendants all mocked Zhi Xi for being inherently slow-witted.

Zhi Xi was unconvinced and studied even harder, finally becoming the deputy manager through her efforts. She was just one step away from the Immortal Realm, but she felt powerless. Yan Dan returned to Yanxu Heavenly Palace and saw Ying Yuan sitting on the rooftop drowning his sorrows in alcohol. She came over to talk to him. Ying Yuan, bolstered by the alcohol, opened up to Yan Dan and recounted the tangled emotions and sadness accumulated in his heart.

Meteors flashed across the sky. Ying Yuan and Yan Dan made wishes together. Yan Dan prayed for blessings for her and her sister and their good friends. Ying Yuan only wished for peace in the Six Realms. He guessed that Yan Dan was putting on plays to become famous in the Immortal Realm with one move. Yan Dan admitted that all of this was so that Zhi Xi could gain a foothold.

The Supreme Majesty sent an immortal attendant to invite Ying Yuan to discuss the interrogation of the demon race spies. Yan Dan was so frightened that she hid to the side. Ying Yuan immediately rushed over. Star Deity JiDu was going to descend to the mortal realm for cultivation. He came to bid farewell to Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan gave him countless admonishments and instructions.

Afterwards, Ying Yuan sent people to strictly interrogate Celestial Deity Yanchi and other demon race spies. They consistently refused to confess their guilt. Ying Yuan made meticulous arrangements and also strengthened the defenses of Pixiang Hall, which Yan Dan used for putting on plays. The manager of Pixiang Hall personally came to express his gratitude to him.

Episode 5 Recap

Ying Yuan learned that Yan Dan had written "Legend of the Creation Heroes," so he asked the manager of Pixiang Hall for the script and personally made annotations. Yu Mo saw the annotations and concluded that this person knew the truth about the perishing of the Jiufi Tribe in the War of Creation, so he came to Ying Yuan to inquire about it. Ying Yuan had not been present at the battlefield himself and did not know the details.

Marshal Huode won a battle and barged into Yanxu Heavenly Palace to spar with Ying Yuan and ask for military treatises. Ying Yuan pretended to be seriously ill and even had Yan Dan help him act it out. Marshal Huode felt there was something suspicious and decided to stay and take care of Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan couldn't argue him out of it and had no choice but to let him stay in Yanxu Heavenly Palace.

Marshal Huode stayed by Ying Yuan's side every step of the way. He even brought a prescription to treat physical weakness, had Yan Dan decoct the medicine, and forced Ying Yuan to drink it. Ying Yuan had no choice but to reluctantly comply. Yan Dan secretly gave Ying Yuan a chicken leg, but was discovered by Marshal Huode. Marshal Huode, using inadequate care as an excuse, wanted to severely punish Yan Dan.

Ying Yuan had no choice but to take out the military treatises he had organized and hand them over to Marshal Huode. Only then did Marshal Huode leave triumphantly. Yan Dan saw that Marshal Huode's intention was impure; he was not after the military treatises, but only wanted to prove to the other deities that Ying Yuan, the number one in the Immortal Realm, was not as good as him.

That same night, Ying Yuan wanted to go teach Marshal Huode a lesson. Yan Dan had already guessed his whereabouts and hid halfway, waiting for him. Ying Yuan had no choice but to take Yan Dan with him. He slightly employed a small trick and cast a fasting spell on Marshal Huode. Yan Dan took the opportunity to take back the military treatises, only to discover that they were the chess games she had copied.

She didn't expect that Ying Yuan had hidden the military treatises within the chess games. Ying Yuan and Yan Dan played one last game of chess. Yan Dan won effortlessly. Ying Yuan promised to let her return to Suspended Heart Cliff. Yan Dan wanted Ying Yuan to accompany her to watch the stars one more time. Ying Yuan summoned the Kun. He and Yan Dan stood on the back of the Kun and strolled in the sea of stars.

Yan Dan had a feast for her eyes; she was overjoyed and collected many stars, putting them in a porcelain bottle, wanting to give them to Zhi Xi. When the journey ended, Ying Yuan took Yan Dan back to the palace. On the way, they encountered an ambush by three demon race spies. Ying Yuan fought back. The three spies committed suicide on the spot. Ying Yuan came to report back to the Supreme Majesty.

The Supreme Majesty instructed him to be careful everywhere. The two of them came out and saw Yan Dan sitting outside the door, dozing off. The Supreme Majesty deeply knew Ying Yuan's personality and was worried that Yan Dan would develop feelings for Ying Yuan over time, thus causing chaos in the Heavenly Realm and bringing disaster to the Six Realms.

Yan Dan hurriedly knelt down and begged the Supreme Majesty to let her return to Suspended Heart Cliff, adamantly claiming that Ying Yuan had only recruited her into Yanxu Heavenly Palace for revenge, and even exaggeratedly described how he mistreated her. The Supreme Majesty was skeptical and interrogated Yan Dan about why she went to Tianji Pavilion. Ying Yuan stood up to speak up for her.

The Supreme Majesty learned that Yan Dan was writing plays, so he gave her a Lingshu Brush. Before leaving, he reminded Ying Yuan not to follow in Sizhuan's footsteps. After returning to Yanxu Heavenly Palace, Ying Yuan had been feeling depressed. Yan Dan used all her strength but still couldn't pick up the Lingshu Brush. She complained that the Supreme Majesty was petty-minded and actually used such means to torment her. Yan Dan saw that Ying Yuan had something on his mind. Ying Yuan had no choice but to admit that he had personally executed Sizhuan, who was troubled by love.

Episode 6 Recap

Yan Dan heard that Sizhuan was very kind during her lifetime, but was troubled by love and violated Heavenly rules, resulting in her death. Yan Dan felt that Heavenly rules went against human nature. If one day she were to fall in love, she wondered if Ying Yuan would also ruthlessly kill her. Ying Yuan explicitly stated that he would obey orders and kill her. Yan Dan was instantly stunned.

Two Heavenly generals came to Ying Yuan to discuss the battle plan. Ying Yuan left before Yan Dan could recover. He took out the Longevity Tribulation chess game that Yan Dan had deciphered and arranged Heavenly soldiers to guard the four Heavenly gates – East, South, West, and North – in shifts. He used the four-tribulation cycle chess game to counter enemies from all sides.

The two Heavenly generals praised him endlessly, wondering which superior deity had solved this Longevity Tribulation. Ying Yuan did not find it convenient to say clearly. Ying Yuan sent the Heavenly generals away and remembered Yan Dan, who was punished to copy Heavenly rules one hundred times. He felt that his words were too harsh and came to find Yan Dan overnight to explain. He saw the copied Heavenly rules scattered all over the floor.

Yan Dan was lying on the ground asleep, holding a pen in her mouth. Ying Yuan was amused by her adorable and unrestrained appearance and couldn't help but laugh. He picked her up and placed her on the couch. Yan Dan remained asleep. Ying Yuan carefully looked at Yan Dan's beautiful face, his heart filled with tenderness. Ying Yuan personally copied the Heavenly rules, quickly finishing one hundred times.

Yan Dan woke up groggily, remembering that she hadn't finished copying the Heavenly rules. She hurriedly jumped out of bed and found the one hundred copies neatly placed on the desk. Guessing that it was Ying Yuan who did it, Yan Dan felt a warmth in her heart. The Supreme Majesty sent someone to post a notice, greatly praising Yan Dan's brave actions and calling on all young immortals to learn from her.

The immortal attendants in the Library Pavilion saw the notice and quietly discussed Zhi Xi's weak spiritual power, even comparing Zhi Xi to Yan Dan. Hearing these words, Zhi Xi felt even more inferior and, in a fit of anger, tore down the notice. Fairy Yingdeng happened to pass by and took the opportunity to instigate trouble between Yan Dan and Zhi Xi.

She insisted that Yan Dan was seeking credit in front of the Supreme Majesty and privately spoke ill of Zhi Xi's incompetence in front of the immortal attendants. Fairy Yingdeng mocked Zhi Xi with cold sarcasm and punished her to kneel for three hours holding the notice. Zhi Xi had no choice but to comply. The immortal attendants repeatedly explained to Zhi Xi, but she did not listen at all and harbored resentment towards Yan Dan.

Yan Dan returned to her residence and found that the immortal tortoise was not eating or drinking and was running around the room, desperate to escape. She couldn't guess the immortal tortoise's intention and had to go to Yu Mo for help. Yu Mo was drowning his sorrows in alcohol. He thought of the annihilated Jiufi Tribe, feeling deeply saddened. Yan Dan comforted him with kind words.

In that War of Creation, the Asura Totem and allied forces from other tribes engaged in fierce battle. The Jiufi Tribe Queen personally led her troops in a bloody fight, resulting in heavy casualties. The Queen waited in vain for reinforcements and had no choice but to entrust her son, the little black fish, to Celestial Deity Beiming. Finally, everyone in the tribe died on the battlefield.

Yu Mo was overcome by the alcohol and transformed into a little black fish. Yan Dan recognized that Yu Mo was the fish she had fed for eight hundred years, feeling both surprised and happy. Yan Dan promised not to abandon Yu Mo. Ying Yuan used all his immortal power to cultivate, wanting to quickly remove the residual demonic power in his body to repay the Supreme Majesty's nurturing grace.

The Supreme Majesty heard the news and rushed to stop him, worried that he would suffer Qi deviation and lose all his immortal power. Ying Yuan exhausted his immortal power and was almost possessed by an evil spirit. The Supreme Majesty intervened in time to save him. Ying Yuan finally woke up.

He was worried that he would be invaded by evil spirits again and fall into the demonic path, so he begged the Supreme Majesty to kill him to eliminate future troubles. The Supreme Majesty injected his primordial spirit into his body, reminding him not to overthink. One day, when Ying Yuan completely removes the evil roots from his body, the Supreme Majesty would tell him the answer; otherwise, Ying Yuan would be a sinner for all eternity.

After sobering up, Yu Mo returned to human form. He explained his earlier失态行為 (loss of composure/unseemly behavior) to Yan Dan. Yan Dan did not mind at all and instead comforted Yu Mo. Yan Dan took out the immortal tortoise. Yu Mo understood the immortal tortoise's inner voice. It was tired of being flipped around by Ying Yuan and wanted to escape the immortal realm, otherwise it would starve itself to death.

However, immortal beasts leaving without permission would violate Heavenly rules. Yan Dan decided to risk letting the immortal tortoise go. Yan Dan secretly went to Ying Yuan's room and took the Hunyuan Jade Belt from Yanxu Heavenly Palace, wanting to take the immortal tortoise out of the immortal realm. Star Deity Taiyou wanted to leave the Nine Heavens from the South Heavenly Gate, but was stopped by the Heavenly soldiers. Showing his Hunyuan Jade Belt was useless.

Star Deity Taiyou was anxious and clashed with the Heavenly soldiers. Ying Yuan arrived in time to resolve the situation. Unexpectedly, demon race assassins suddenly arrived. Ying Yuan easily defeated them and ordered strict guarding, worried about another demon race invasion. Yan Dan wanted to take the immortal tortoise away but was unexpectedly blocked by the demon race general Tuofeng and his men.

Tuofeng recognized the Hunyuan Jade Belt in her hand belonged to Yanxu Heavenly Palace and wanted to use her as a hostage to capture Ying Yuan. Yan Dan lied that she was not familiar with Ying Yuan and used her eloquent tongue to get herself out of trouble. She also indirectly probed, asking where Tuofeng and his men were going (to the north). Yan Dan agreed to lead the way for them.

Tuofeng did not believe her at all and swung the world-splitting, sea-cleaving divine-breaking saber at Yan Dan. Fortunately, Ying Yuan arrived in time to save her, knocking Tuofeng and others to the ground. Both he and Yan Dan were scratched. Ying Yuan recognized that Tuofeng was Elder Shuohua's favorite general and the divine-breaking saber was Elder Shuohua's magical weapon. Ying Yuan couldn't guess what Tuofeng intended to do with the divine-breaking saber.

Tuofeng and his subordinates used the Soul-Shattering curse to commit suicide. Yan Dan thanked Ying Yuan for saving her life and advised him to go back and bandage his wounds first. Ying Yuan was anxious to formulate a battle plan against the demon race and told Yan Dan to go back and rest first. Yan Dan secretly put the Hunyuan Jade Belt back in Ying Yuan's room and accidentally saw the unfinished annotated play script on the table.

Only then did she realize that Ying Yuan had made the annotations on her script. Ying Yuan returned later. Yan Dan proactively offered to help him bandage his wounds and invited him to watch a play. Ying Yuan had been preoccupied. Star Deity JiDu discovered that the demon race Elders were coercing Demon King Xuan Xiang to agree to war.

The demon race, allied with the demon and underworld realms, prepared a million strong army to declare war on the Nine Heavens. Tuofeng led the vanguard and killed the immortal realm envoy Tao Tziqi to sacrifice for the banner, then rushed into the South Heavenly Gate. Ying Yuan decided to lead the Heavenly soldiers and generals to march out two hours later. He gave Yan Dan countless instructions. Yan Dan wished him victory and an early triumphant return.

Episode 7 Recap

Supreme Majesty assembled a million Heavenly soldiers and generals. Ying Yuan, Star Deity JiDu, Celestial Deity Beiming, and others were ready to depart. Supreme Majesty gave a pre-battle mobilization speech, encouraging them to fight bravely, eliminate the rebellion in the Six Realms as soon as possible. Yan Dan and the immortal attendants from various palaces stood on both sides, praying for the Heavenly soldiers and generals going to battle.

Ying Yuan discovered a barrier with the weakest setting, so he ordered the main army to head to the demon realm first. He wanted to inspect it personally. Yan Dan felt a pang of worry for him. After the main army set off, Yan Dan took Yu Mo to the divine temple overnight. The divine temple was a place where all immortals prayed for blessings, and usually no one was allowed in.

Lurong was worried about being discovered and causing trouble, but he couldn't refuse Yan Dan, so he had no choice but to open the divine temple and let them in. He kept watch at the entrance. Yan Dan prayed that her play would win first prize at the grand feast. She also wanted to take the opportunity to gather some material in the divine temple.

Yan Dan casually looked through the wish plaques and saw Celestial Deity Mengli's blessings and admiration for Ying Yuan, as well as Ying Yuan's wish for peace in the Six Realms. Yan Dan felt that Ying Yuan was very boring. Yu Mo made two wishes. He wished to repay Celestial Deity Beiming's nurturing grace after achieving fame and success, and he wished for Yan Dan to be happy every day. Yan Dan had many wishes.

She wanted to become the best story writer, for Zhi Xi to achieve immortality soon, for Yu Mo to be happy and smooth-sailing. Finally, Yan Dan prayed for Ying Yuan to defeat a million enemies and return safely. A loud noise suddenly came from the giant pillar in the center of the divine temple. Lurong rushed in upon hearing it and saw the giant pillar was shaking precariously. Lurong was terrified.

The giant pillar was the foundation of the divine temple. Once it collapsed, it would completely destroy the divine temple. The divine temple was the cornerstone of the Jade Pond, and the water from the Jade Pond would flood the Nine Heavens. Yan Dan was scared and didn't know what to do. Lurong concluded that this was the work of someone from the demon realm.

Just as Lurong had expected, Ying Yuan arrived at the weakest point in the immortal realm to investigate and saw Demon King Xuan Xiang there. She wanted to shake the giant pillar to destroy the divine temple, causing the water from the Jade Pond to flood the Nine Heavens. Xuan Xiang no longer wanted to be controlled by Supreme Majesty and wanted to use this opportunity to unify the Six Realms and become their ruler.

Ying Yuan completely saw through her ambitious nature and wanted to fight her one-on-one. The giant pillar cracked little by little and was about to collapse. Yan Dan disregarded Lurong's attempts to dissuade her. She used all her spiritual power to protect the giant pillar. Lurong was anxious and shouted loudly, worried that Yan Dan's spiritual power was too weak and they would all perish together. Yu Mo rushed forward recklessly to help Yan Dan.

Seeing this, Lurong also had no choice but to lend a hand. The three of them worked together to protect the giant pillar. Smoke filled the front lines, and the two sides were locked in a fierce battle. The demon realm Elders surrounded Star Deity JiDu and launched a fierce attack on him. Ying Yuan arrived in time to relieve him and was surrounded by the Elders.

Celestial Deity Beiming and others led the Heavenly soldiers and generals to fight bravely, cutting off the enemy's retreat. Ying Yuan advised Xuan Xiang to surrender. Xuan Xiang was not willing to admit defeat just like that. She used her ultimate move—the Nine-tailed Snake—for one last struggle. Ying Yuan and Star Deity JiDu worked together to fight the Nine-tailed Snake. Ying Yuan's eyes were injured by the fiery poison emitted by the snake's body.

He endured the intense pain and launched another attack, completely eliminating the Nine-tailed Snake. He fainted on the ground due to the onset of the poison. Star Deity JiDu rescued Ying Yuan and advised him to return to the Heavenly Medical Hall to treat his injuries, lest the fiery poison invade his vital organs. Ying Yuan wanted to return to the front lines to fight. Celestial Deity Beiming arrived shortly after and reported the front line situation to him.

Xuan Xiang's retreat was cut off, and she led her troops in a full retreat. Ying Yuan sent the two of them to lead troops in pursuit of victory. They had no choice but to comply. The fiery poison in Ying Yuan's body flared up again. He spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately fell to the ground. Yan Dan's spiritual power was damaged from protecting the divine temple.

She was weak all over, yet she struggled to get up. Upon leaving, she saw Zhi Xi coming to retrieve a magical weapon. Yan Dan hadn't seen Zhi Xi for a long time and was clearly excited. Zhi Xi was very cold and urged her to find the magical weapon quickly and return it to the Heavenly Medical Hall to report completion. Yan Dan had no choice but to accompany her in the search.

Yan Dan reached for the magical weapon on top of the cabinet and almost fell due due to weakness. Zhi Xi quickly supported her, complaining that she hadn't cultivated properly and hadn't performed her duties faithfully. Yan Dan didn't want to explain. Zhi Xi packed the magical weapons and left without looking back. She unintentionally heard the immortal attendants praising Yan Dan for being intelligent and brave, and ridiculing her for being incompetent.

Zhi Xi was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. Ying Yuan was sent to the Heavenly Medical Hall. He woke up groggily and heard the immortal attendants outside discussing the war. Although this battle was won, Star Deity JiDu and the three Sovereign Lords fell into Xuan Xiang's ambush and mistakenly entered the demon realm, resulting in their deaths. There were eighty thousand casualties among the Heavenly soldiers and generals.

Ying Yuan's anxiety and anger caused the poison to flare up again. An immortal attendant quickly reported to Supreme Majesty. Supreme Majesty rushed to the Heavenly Medical Hall. Ying Yuan had already left without saying goodbye. He left a letter for Supreme Majesty, regretting that his departure midway had caused the deaths of Star Deity JiDu and the three Sovereign Lords.

Moreover, the fiery poison had already invaded his bones, and he did not want to live ignobly in the immortal realm. Supreme Majesty was heartbroken. He knew Ying Yuan's personality well. Even if he sent someone to find him and bring him back, Ying Yuan would leave again. Supreme Majesty had no choice but to announce publicly that Ying Yuan had recovered from his injuries and had gone down to the lower realms for cultivation.

Currently, only Supreme Majesty remained in the immortal realm and the divine realm. He merged the two realms into one, calling it the Heavenly Realm. The underworld realm was razed to the ground in this battle and ceased to exist. Supreme Majesty cast all the remaining demon realm remnants into the River of Forgetfulness, never to leave for all eternity. The demon realm was merged with the human realm and collectively called the mortal realm. From then on, there were only three realms: the Heavenly, Mortal, and Demon realms.

Episode 8 Recap

After Ying Yuan left without saying goodbye, Supreme Majesty sealed off the news, forbidding anyone from entering the Heavenly Medical Hall and the heavenly physicians from revealing Ying Yuan's condition. The immortal attendants of Yanxu Heavenly Palace could only hang bells to pray for Ying Yuan. Yan Dan disregarded the immortal attendants' attempts to dissuade her and insisted on going to the Heavenly Medical Hall to find Ying Yuan.

The fiery poison in Ying Yuan's body had invaded his bone marrow, causing him to lose his sight, immortal essence, and soul. He didn't want others to see his current predicament, so he concealed himself and walked on the roof with his eyes covered by white cloth. He accidentally fell, bringing some roof tiles down with him. Yan Dan passed by and, unable to see the invisible Ying Yuan, only saw the broken tiles and fragments.

She couldn't help but think of Ying Yuan and felt very sad. She prayed for Ying Yuan to return soon so he could watch the grand play she had written. Ying Yuan heard Yan Dan's heartfelt words, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. He dared not reveal himself and recognize Yan Dan, fearing that his death would only add to Yan Dan's pain.

Yan Dan ran away in tears, and Ying Yuan watched her retreating figure with a heart twisted in pain. Yan Dan came to the Heavenly Medical Hall and strongly demanded to go in and take care of Ying Yuan. The heavenly physician had no choice but to say that Ying Yuan had left Supreme Majesty and gone down to the lower realms for a change of pace.

Yan Dan didn't believe him at all and went to ask Celestial Deity Beiming about the situation. Celestial Deity Beiming was severely injured on the battlefield, having lost his immortal essence and soul. He was in unbearable pain and only wished for death. Marshal Huode couldn't bear to watch and silently left in tears. Yan Dan took out a Resurrection Elixir, wanting to save Celestial Deity Beiming's life. Yu Mo rushed over upon hearing the news.

He didn't want to see Celestial Deity Beiming being tortured to the point of wishing for death and wanted to use his power to end his life. Yan Dan knew that Yu Mo's wish was to recognize Celestial Deity Beiming after transforming into human form. She used all her spiritual power to alleviate Celestial Deity Beiming's pain, hoping for him to have a final meeting with Yu Mo. Celestial Deity Beiming gradually regained consciousness.

Yu Mo knelt down and recognized him. Celestial Deity Beiming felt greatly comforted and then passed away. Yan Dan was so heartbroken she wished she were dead. Yu Mo took out his own scale to give to Celestial Deity Beiming as a keepsake. Afterward, Supreme Majesty led the immortals of the Heavenly Realm in a funeral for Celestial Deity Beiming, Star Deity JiDu, and others.

Yu Mo and Yan Dan sat on Xuanyuan Cliff, thinking about Celestial Deity Beiming who died on the battlefield while the immortals of the Heavenly Realm remained indifferent, and Supreme Majesty only gave him a coffin. Both of them sighed endlessly. Although the Heavenly Realm had no wind or rain, the immortals were all cold and heartless. Yu Mo could not vent the bitterness in his heart.

Yan Dan used the magic power within her body to conjure a rain for Celestial Deity Beiming, promising to take good care of Yu Mo. Yan Dan also offered her shoulder for Yu Mo to lean on. The Jade Pond Grand Feast was about to be held. Deities and Earth Immortals from all walks were invited to the Heavenly Realm, and the Heavenly Realm instantly buzzed with excitement. Lurong forcibly dragged Yan Dan to watch the spectacle.

The Dragon King of the East Sea prepared generous gifts to attend the feast. Lurong revealed that the guests' gifts would be stored in the Treasure Pavilion, and after the feast, Supreme Majesty would distribute these treasures. Yan Dan wanted to seize this opportunity to send the little immortal turtle out of the Heavenly Realm. The grand play was to start at noon.

Yan Dan gave Yu Mo an invitation and specifically fabricated the identity of a black fish spirit for him. Yu Mo's cultivation was not enough to appear during the day for now, and he had also consumed most of his spiritual power. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to attend the grand play, so he could only cultivate extra hard. Three days passed in a blink of an eye. The grand play officially began.

Supreme Majesty and the guests watched together. Yan Dan noticed that neither Ying Yuan nor Yu Mo had come, and she felt deeply disappointed. Yu Mo tried several times but was unable to transform into human form during the day, so he had to give up. The grand play was a complete success, winning first place as expected. Supreme Majesty praised Yan Dan highly. Marshal Huode, emboldened by alcohol, complained loudly, accusing the immortals of being heartless.

Star Deity JiDu and Celestial Deity Beiming's bodies were not yet cold, yet they could still laugh and chat. He was so angry he shouted and yelled. Disregarding Yan Dan's attempts to stop him, Marshal Huode unleashed all his anger on Supreme Majesty, cursing him as incompetent. The Dragon King of the East Sea couldn't stand it and stepped forward to accuse Marshal Huode of being arrogant because of his achievements.

Supreme Majesty immediately announced the deprivation of Marshal Huode's military authority and punished him to retire to Xuanyuan Cliff. Marshal Huode left in a huff. Yan Dan quickly tried to ease the situation for Marshal Huode and even brought up Ying Yuan's wish for "peace in the Six Realms" to comfort Supreme Majesty. Only then did Supreme Majesty slightly ease his anger and wanted to reward Yan Dan based on her merit.

Yan Dan voluntarily proposed to go down to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation on behalf of Zhi Xi, hoping to write more scripts during the opportunity. Supreme Majesty readily agreed. Fairy Yingdeng then mocked Zhi Xi with cynical remarks. Yan Dan personally sewed a piece of clothing and wanted to give it to Ying Yuan before going down to the mortal realm. Supreme Majesty agreed to Yan Dan's request, but he also didn't know when Ying Yuan would return.

Yan Dan came to congratulate Zhi Xi, but Zhi Xi didn't appreciate it. She thought Yan Dan was using the excuse of helping her to show off. Yan Dan couldn't defend herself. The more Zhi Xi thought about it, the angrier she got, and she slapped Yan Dan hard. Fairy Yingdeng fanned the flames from the side. Yan Dan was bewildered, not knowing what she had done wrong. Fairy Yingdeng spoke harshly to Yan Dan and pulled Zhi Xi away to admire the flowers.

Episode 9 Recap

Yan Dan went to the Library Pavilion dejectedly to return books. Lurong saw she was not herself and showed her concern. Yan Dan didn't want to say too much. She was anxious to go to the Treasure Pavilion to wait for Yu Mo, wanting to hide the immortal turtle inside a treasure chest to transport it out of the Heavenly Realm. Yan Dan quietly hid on the roof of the Treasure Pavilion.

Yu Mo was slow to appear, and Yan Dan drowsily fell asleep. She dreamt that Ying Yuan came to claim her life. Yan Dan was scared out of her wits and fell from the roof. The heavenly soldiers on night patrol saw Yan Dan and mistook her for a thief. Yan Dan repeatedly explained herself before she could get away. She had no choice but to find another opportunity to send the immortal turtle away.

Yu Mo finally transformed into human form after much effort. He came to the agreed location and found that Yan Dan was already gone. Yan Dan unknowingly came to Diyuan. She saw Ying Yuan tying himself under the Kunlun tree to atone for his sins. Yan Dan was heartbroken. Since Ying Yuan was blind and couldn't see her, he advised her to leave quickly.

Yan Dan lied that she was a small immortal attendant from the Magical Pavilion and wanted to save Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan had to tell her that the fiery poison had invaded his bone marrow and he would die soon, wanting to perish on his own here. Yan Dan encouraged him to live on strongly. Ying Yuan casually asked about the Jade Pond Grand Feast, inquiring about Yan Dan's grand play.

Yan Dan vividly recounted the grand occasion at that time. Yu Mo didn't wait for Yan Dan and went to ask Lurong. Lurong also didn't know Yan Dan's whereabouts. Yu Mo came to Diyuan and saw from afar Yan Dan joyfully performing a play for Ying Yuan. He felt sour inside and had no choice but to silently leave. Yan Dan finished performing the play from beginning to end.

She again urged Ying Yuan to untie himself and return to Yanxu Heavenly Palace. Ying Yuan didn't want to linger in the world and forcibly drove her away. The Dragon King of the East Sea came to Xuanyuan Cliff to visit Ao Xuan and Chao Lan. Seeing the ethereal aura surrounding the place, he was overjoyed.

The Dragon King of the East Sea imparted a set of energy-gathering cultivation techniques to Ao Xuan, helping them both transform into human form sooner, and thus achieve a beautiful story for the Dragon Totem. Yu Mo was drowning his sorrows in alcohol by the lotus pond. He unintentionally saw this warm scene and couldn't help but recall past beautiful memories. He was filled with mixed emotions. Yan Dan came to the temple and sincerely prayed for Ying Yuan's blessing.

Yu Mo came to the Library Pavilion in low spirits to find Yan Dan. Lurong saw at a glance that Yu Mo had fallen for Yan Dan. Yu Mo admitted his unrequited love for Yan Dan and asked Lurong to help him hide it. Yan Dan arrived shortly after and kept complaining about Yu Mo breaking the appointment. Yu Mo lied that he had lost track of time while learning cultivation techniques with the Dragon King of the East Sea.

Yan Dan didn't pursue the matter further. Yu Mo promised to find another opportunity to release the immortal turtle, and Yan Dan had to let it go. Lurong complained that Yu Mo shouldn't hide his feelings. Yu Mo didn't want to add trouble for Yan Dan and just wanted to quietly stay by her side. Yan Dan went to the Library Pavilion to look up ancient texts and learned that the fiery poison in Ying Yuan was incurable.

Unwilling to accept this, she went to Diyuan to find Ying Yuan again, bringing him Osmanthus cake. Ying Yuan smelled the faint scent of lotus flowers on Yan Dan and guessed she was Yan Dan, but didn't dare to confirm. Yan Dan wanted to stay by Ying Yuan's side to take care of him. Ying Yuan said many heartless words, but Yan Dan didn't care at all. The fiery poison in Ying Yuan's body flared up again.

Yan Dan was thrown back far. The Buli bracelet on her wrist fell to the ground and broke into three pieces. Ying Yuan was tormented to the point of wishing for death, suffering unbearable pain. Yan Dan used all her spiritual power to help Ying Yuan alleviate his pain, holding onto him tightly, vowing to stay with him through life and death. Ying Yuan gradually calmed down.

Yan Dan found out that the Dragon King of the East Sea was taking a batch of medicinal materials back to the Dragon Palace, so she and Yu Mo came to the Heavenly Medical Hall. They placed the immortal turtle among that batch of medicinal materials. The heavenly physician returned shortly after, and the two of them quickly hid. They unintentionally overheard that the heart of a four-leaf lotus could cure the fiery poison.

Yan Dan was overjoyed and decided to use her own heart to save Ying Yuan. She came to Diyuan again and found that Ying Yuan had isolated himself using the Juechen technique. Yan Dan couldn't get close, so she had to dig a tunnel to get through. Unexpectedly, she dug out the Asura Totem specter sealed beneath – the Renhun Sword Spirit. Yan Dan was surrounded and pursued by the Asura Totem specter.

Ying Yuan had no choice but to step in to help. The Renhun Sword Spirit took the opportunity to sneak attack Yan Dan. Ying Yuan used the Asura Totem unique skill to fight fiercely with him. He recognized Ying Yuan as a descendant of the Asura Totem, willingly offered his sword, and then submitted to Ying Yuan. Yan Dan hadn't expected that Ying Yuan was a descendant of the Asura Totem.

Ying Yuan saw the Kunlun tree leaves turning yellow and falling, knowing he was about to die. He advised Yan Dan to leave as soon as possible to avoid being severely harmed. Yan Dan firmly refused to leave, wanting to live and die with him.

Episode 10 Recap

Yan Dan made Ying Yuan bathe in ice to dispel the fiery poison from his body. Ying Yuan's body quickly froze. Yan Dan channeled her true qi of lotus to him. Ying Yuan woke up groggily and couldn't help but kiss Yan Dan. Because he used too much force, he even drew blood from Yan Dan's lips. Yan Dan blushed with shame and also hugged Ying Yuan tightly.

Yan Dan settled Ying Yuan onto the bed, placed many hot water bottles around him for warmth, and then stayed by his side without leaving. Ying Yuan woke up again. Yan Dan feared he would be bored, so she taught him hand in hand to write his own name. Ying Yuan reached out to touch Yan Dan guided by feeling, discovered her lips were broken, and helped her smooth the wound.

He also gave her a hairpin that instantly heals wounds. Yan Dan felt incredibly warm in her heart and secretly vowed not to let him die. Yan Dan named the small thatched hut "Gou Dan Ju" and hung a wooden sign at the entrance. Every day, Yan Dan painfully removed a lotus petal from herself to make incense, using it to alleviate Ying Yuan's pain. After Yan Dan's meticulous care, Ying Yuan's body gradually improved.

The frequency of the fiery poison attacks became less and less. Ying Yuan couldn't bear for Yan Dan to stay in the dark and damp Diyuan for long, so he used his remaining immortal power to draw in sunlight and even conjured a pool of lotus flowers in Diyuan. Yan Dan was overjoyed. She pulled Ying Yuan to admire them, vividly describing the beautiful scenery to him, and seized the opportunity to express her love to Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan knew he was a dying person and didn't want Yan Dan to add to her worries, so he pretended to be indifferent. Yan Dan also tied a swing between the large trees. She and Ying Yuan swayed in the wind, happily talking and laughing together. In her sleep, Yan Dan called out Ying Yuan's name, vowing to save Ying Yuan at all costs.

Ying Yuan didn't hope to live long, as long as he could stay by Yan Dan's side now, that was enough. Yan Dan plucked one of Ying Yuan's hairs and wanted to tie it together with her own hair, praying that the two of them would never be separated. Yan Dan wanted to use the heart of a four-leaf lotus to save Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan firmly objected and forbade her from mentioning it again.

Ying Yuan had already implicated many Celestial Deities who died in vain, and he didn't want anyone else to make sacrifices. Yan Dan had no choice but to give up. Ying Yuan was often plagued by nightmares. Yan Dan felt deeply for him and stayed by his side, desperately comforting him. Yan Dan wanted to enter Ying Yuan's dream to protect him. She heard that Lu Ming had a Dream-Entering Butterfly that could enter others' dreams.

Yan Dan went to find Lu Ming to borrow it. Lu Ming had been guarding this cocoon for a long time, and it hadn't yet transformed into a butterfly. Yan Dan firmly believed she could succeed. Lu Ming immediately gave it to her. There were still three days until Ying Yuan's birthday. Yan Dan wanted to celebrate it for him. Ying Yuan had never celebrated his birthday.

Yan Dan gave him a large white jade coffin and even lay inside it with Ying Yuan to try it out. On his birthday, Yan Dan, while he was not paying attention, plucked one of Ying Yuan's eyelashes, wanting to make a wish on the spot. Ying Yuan also plucked one of Yan Dan's eyelashes. The two of them prayed for each other's well-being.

Ying Yuan fell asleep groggily, dreaming that he returned to the Heavenly Realm, where there was peace and prosperity, with singing and dancing. Yan Dan wanted to take Ying Yuan to travel in the human world. Ying Yuan was naturally delighted. Yan Dan had been staying by Ying Yuan's side. The fiery poison in Ying Yuan's body flared up again. The situation was extremely critical. Yan Dan used all her spiritual power to heal him.

Ying Yuan groggily dreamt that he and Yan Dan came to the human world. The two of them looked at each other affectionately. Ying Yuan expressed his feelings to Yan Dan.

Episode 11 Recap

Ying Yuan expressed his feelings to Yan Dan, vowing not to miss her in the next life. Yan Dan and Ying Yuan kissed passionately through the gauze curtain. The Xiaomeng Butterfly broke out of its cocoon and flew around them. Yan Dan used the Xiaomeng Butterfly to enter Ying Yuan's dream. In the dream, Ying Yuan proposed to her. The two of them wore wedding attire and swore an oath to heaven.

Happiness came too suddenly, and Yan Dan was intoxicated and couldn't extricate herself. She had been pretending to be a small immortal attendant, worried that Ying Yuan didn't love her (true identity). Ying Yuan had long guessed that she was Yan Dan and promised to love her in the next life as well. Not long after the wedding, Yan Dan became pregnant. Ying Yuan meticulously cared for her and was completely obedient to her.

Yan Dan successfully gave birth to their son, Gou Dan. Gou Dan was inherently mischievous and would run away from home at the slightest displeasure. Yan Dan wanted to leave with Gou Dan but was caught red-handed by Ying Yuan. They had no choice but to stay, and the three of them lived warm, happy little lives. Ying Yuan woke up groggily, feeling uncomfortable all over.

When he saw Yan Dan dozing by the bed, he realized that everything just now had only been a beautiful dream. The fiery poison in Ying Yuan's body flared up again. He was in unbearable pain and didn't want Yan Dan to suffer with him. He forcefully drove Yan Dan out. Yan Dan desperately pounded on the door, but Ying Yuan simply wouldn't open it.

When Yan Dan heard no more movement from inside the room, she hurriedly pushed the door open and came in. She wanted to help Ying Yuan cool down, but Ying Yuan desperately resisted, telling her to leave as quickly as possible, or he would end his own remaining life. Ying Yuan didn't want her to face the pain of separation and death.

Ying Yuan took out a lotus incense burner he had personally carved and gave it to Yan Dan as a memento. From this moment on, they would never see each other again. Yan Dan only hoped that Ying Yuan would recognize her when he was reborn, otherwise she would push Ying Yuan down the Wu Qiao. Ying Yuan gave a bitter smile and said nothing. He knew that he would not be able to open his eyes again.

After Yan Dan returned from Diyuan, she buried herself in ancient texts, determining that if she gouged out her heart and placed it in the Fuxuan Cauldron to refine an antidote, she could save Ying Yuan's life. Yan Dan came to the Magical Pavilion to retrieve the Fuxuan Cauldron, but unexpectedly, she was discovered on the spot by Zhi Xi. Yan Dan recounted in detail how she had impersonated a small immortal attendant to care for Ying Yuan.

She wanted to use her heart to refine an antidote to save Ying Yuan. Zhi Xi, remembering Ying Yuan's life-saving kindness and feeling that this matter would help her achieve immortality, agreed to let Yan Dan take the Cauldron. Before leaving, Yan Dan took out the Buli Bracelet, broken into three pieces, and asked Zhi Xi to help mend it. Fairy Yingdeng, hiding to the side, saw everything clearly. Yan Dan arrived at Diyuan.

First, she placed Anshui Powder in the incense burner, making Ying Yuan sleep for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Yan Dan endured the pain of gouging out her heart and placing it in the Cauldron, using all her spiritual power to refine the antidote. After her unremitting efforts, the antidote was finally refined. Yan Dan was severely exhausted. She braced herself and fed the antidote to Ying Yuan, hoping he would wake up soon.

Yan Dan thought to herself that when Ying Yuan woke up and discovered that she and the little immortal attendant were the same person, he would surely be very surprised. Zhi Xi calculated that the time was almost right. She knew that Yan Dan would be physically weak after gouging out her heart and certainly wouldn't have the energy to care for Ying Yuan anymore.

Zhi Xi wanted to go and care for Ying Yuan, firmly believing that Ying Yuan would never treat her unfairly when he woke up. Zhi Xi wanted to go to Diyuan but was intercepted halfway by Fairy Yingdeng. Fairy Yingdeng intended to kill her for the crime of 'stealing what she was guarding', and had even specially prepared the Heart-Piercing Drum. Zhi Xi desperately resisted, but the Heart-Piercing Drum was powerful, and Zhi Xi was gradually overwhelmed, suffering severe injuries.

Zhi Xi knew that Fairy Yingdeng was deeply in love with Ying Yuan, so she deliberately revealed that Yan Dan had snatched Ying Yuan away. Fairy Yingdeng believed it and hurriedly rushed to Diyuan to settle the score with Yan Dan. Heavenly soldiers were ordered to retrieve the Fuxuan Cauldron.

Yan Dan did not want to implicate Zhi Xi, so she disguised herself as Zhi Xi, handed the Fuxuan Cauldron to the heavenly soldiers, and they took her to receive the heavenly thunder punishment. Ao Xuan and Chao Lan devoted themselves to cultivation. Coupled with the immortal spiritual energy of Xuanxin Cliff, they soon transformed into human forms. The two of them were overjoyed and played around Xuanxin Cliff.

Fairy Yingdeng recognized at a glance that the one receiving the torture was Yan Dan. Guessing that she didn't want to implicate Zhi Xi, she took the punishment on behalf of Zhi Xi. Yu Mo, after dedicated cultivation, finally dared to show himself during the day. He wanted to go find Yan Dan. Suddenly, he saw something unusual with the lotus petal on his wrist and worried that Yan Dan was in danger.

He was just about to go save her. Ao Xuan blocked Yu Mo's path. He was indignant, having not expected the little black fish, Yu Mo, to cultivate into human form before him. Without a word, he attacked Yu Mo. Yu Mo was anxious to save Yan Dan and had no desire to fight. Ao Xuan was relentless and chased after him persistently.

Yu Mo had no choice but to retaliate, knocking Ao Xuan to the ground, and then strode away. Ao Xuan, furious, went to Marshal Huode to complain. Yan Dan received nine heavenly thunder punishments on behalf of Zhi Xi. She was struck all over and covered in wounds, finally fainting. Zhi Xi saw this scene from afar, her heart filled with mixed feelings. Fairy Yingdeng wanted to take the opportunity to kill Yan Dan.

Yu Mo arrived in time to save her. He discovered that Yan Dan had already gouged out her heart, feeling an unspeakable pain in his heart. Zhi Xi worried that the matter would be exposed. She dared not return to the Magical Pavilion and had no choice but to go to Diyuan to seek help from Ying Yuan.

Episode 12 Recap

Yan Dan was tortured by the nine heavenly thunder punishments until she was covered in wounds and on the verge of death. Yu Mo rescued Yan Dan and used all his spiritual power to heal her, but Yan Dan remained unconscious. Lu Ming cried anxiously by her side. Zhi Xi wanted to go care for Ying Yuan but was worried about being exposed.

She endured the pain and severely injured herself, creating the illusion that she had just received the heavenly thunder punishment. Ying Yuan woke up groggily and found that he had fully recovered.

He couldn't help but resent Yan Dan for doing the foolish thing of gouging out her heart to save him, but the immortal attendant said that Zhi Xi had used half of a lotus heart to detoxify him from the fiery poison and was currently receiving heavenly thunder punishment at the Heavenly Gallows for the crime of privately stealing the Fuxuan Cauldron. Ying Yuan immediately got up to see for himself.

Ying Yuan went out and saw the severely injured Zhi Xi. Before he could even speak, Zhi Xi fainted beside him. After Yu Mo's full efforts in rescue, Yan Dan finally woke up. She was very happy; it was the first time she had seen Yu Mo during the daytime. Yu Mo and Lu Ming both complained about Yan Dan for doing such a foolish thing, almost sacrificing her own life.

Yan Dan was willing to make a sacrifice for Ying Yuan. She couldn't wait to go see Ying Yuan. Although Zhi Xi's heart meridians were chaotic and there were signs of suffering heavenly thunder, Ying Yuan still believed that Yan Dan had saved him. Zhi Xi insisted that she had used half of her heart to save Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan felt that her voice wasn't right.

Zhi Xi explained that she had used a spell to change her voice after seeing Ying Yuan's predicament in Diyuan, precisely because she didn't want Ying Yuan to feel embarrassed. She even took out the repaired Buli Bracelet to prove her lie, but Ying Yuan didn't believe her at all. Ao Xuan brought Chao Lan to complain to Marshal Huode.

Yu Mo had long transformed into human form but never showed himself, so they suspected he was a spy from the Demon King clan lurking in the Heavenly Realm. Marshal Huode was dejected and drowned his sorrows in alcohol all day long. Without questioning the facts, he was about to strike Yu Mo three times. Ao Xuan firmly refused, insisting that Yu Mo's identity must be thoroughly investigated. Yu Mo admitted that he could transform into human form early on.

When Yan Dan was teasing Ao Xuan and got bitten, she casually threw Ao Xuan away, and he happened to land on Yu Mo, who was injured and unable to regain human form. Ao Xuan was still furious. As a dragon prince, he was indignant that Yu Mo had transformed into human form before him. Chao Lan couldn't stand it and harshly scolded Ao Xuan. Marshal Huode was very impatient and forcefully chased all three of them away.

Yan Dan, dragging her weak body, came to see Ying Yuan. She unintentionally overheard two immortal attendants talking about Zhi Xi using half of her heart to save Ying Yuan and also suffering nine heavenly thunder punishments. Yan Dan was instantly stunned. She wanted to enter the room to ask Ying Yuan for clarification. At the doorway, she saw Zhi Xi holding the Buli Bracelet and declaring her loyalty to Ying Yuan.

Yan Dan didn't want to expose Zhi Xi and could only quietly hide away. Ying Yuan only saw her back. Zhi Xi had previously heard Yan Dan's account and knew everything about Yan Dan and Ying Yuan's time in the thatched cottage like the back of her hand. To gain Ying Yuan's trust, she spoke flawlessly. Ying Yuan still felt something was off. Zhi Xi called him "Sovereign Lord," which Yan Dan would never call him.

Zhi Xi made an excuse to cover it up. Supreme Majesty sent immortal attendant Qing Yun to deliver Snow Spirit Ganoderma to Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan asked him about Yan Dan's recent situation. Qing Yun hadn't seen Yan Dan recently and thought she had gone out to play. Just as Yan Dan was feeling melancholic, Ying Yuan suddenly came to see her and discovered she was severely injured.

Yan Dan lied that she had used the power of the lotus to keep Celestial Deity Beiming for a bit longer. Ying Yuan didn't believe her at all and was certain that Yan Dan had gouged out her heart to save him, but Yan Dan simply wouldn't admit it. Yan Dan saw Zhi Xi's affection for Ying Yuan and deliberately spoke coldly to Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan saw that she wanted to help Zhi Xi, so he decided to let Zhi Xi confess her mistake on her own. Ying Yuan advised Yan Dan to participate in the immortal rank exam, but Yan Dan was not interested in it. Zhi Xi rushed to see Yan Dan, so Ying Yuan had to leave first. Yan Dan questioned Zhi Xi about why she impersonated her.

Zhi Xi lied that she was injured by Fairy Yingdeng's Heart-Piercing Drum and only managed to escape with all her might. She wanted to go to Yanxu Heavenly Palace for help but fainted. Ying Yuan rescued her and mistakenly took her for his savior, so she went along with the mistake because she was worried about being punished. Yan Dan believed her.

Zhi Xi swore she had no selfish intentions toward Ying Yuan and advised Yan Dan not to fall for Ying Yuan, otherwise she would be doomed forever. Yan Dan remembered that Ying Yuan had once said that once she developed feelings, he would kill her with his own hands. Yan Dan had no choice but to bury her feelings for Ying Yuan deep inside.

Fairy Yingdeng came to Yanxu Heavenly Palace to find Zhi Xi and met Qing Yun on the way, learning that Ying Yuan had sent him to deliver Snow Spirit Ganoderma to Yan Dan. As soon as Fairy Yingdeng saw Zhi Xi, she exposed her act of impersonating Yan Dan and took the opportunity to sow discord between Zhi Xi and Yan Dan.

Zhi Xi knew that Fairy Yingdeng was deeply in love with Ying Yuan and wanted to eliminate Yan Dan out of jealousy. Fairy Yingdeng deliberately mentioned that Ying Yuan sent Snow Spirit Ganoderma to Yan Dan, reminding Zhi Xi to kill Yan Dan to eliminate future troubles. Supreme Majesty came to see Ying Yuan and advised him to prioritize the greater good and not leave without saying goodbye again. Ying Yuan readily agreed.

Yan Dan reflected deeply and decided to completely let go of her feelings for Ying Yuan. She gave the Snow Spirit Ganoderma to Yu Mo to nourish his body. Yu Mo learned about Zhi Xi's impersonation and felt it was unfair to Yan Dan. Yan Dan didn't want to expose Zhi Xi's lie, fearing that Zhi Xi would be severely punished for stealing the magical artifact. Chao Lan came to find Yu Mo. Yu Mo introduced Yan Dan to her, and the two immediately hit it off. Ao Xuan followed shortly after, declaring that he wanted to challenge Yu Mo.

Episode 13 Recap

Ao Xuan was disrespectful to Yu Mo, and Yu Mo did not show weakness either. The two fought fiercely. Ao Xuan surrounded Yu Mo with the Blazing Dragon Flame of the East Sea Dragon clan. Chao Lan wanted to save Yu Mo, but Ao Xuan desperately stopped her, threatening to burn Yu Mo into a dead fish and make Chao Lan his queen.

Chao Lan gritted her teeth in anger, swearing she would never marry Ao Xuan even if she died. Yan Dan knew Yu Mo was not afraid of fire, but worried that a prolonged fight would expose his identity as a descendant of the Nine-Fin tribe, so she pretended to give Yu Mo the Snow Spirit Ganoderma.

Chao Lan discovered that Yu Mo had used the Flame Bathing Light of the Nine-Fin tribe for protection, and only then realized he was a descendant of the Nine-Fin tribe. Marshal Huode arrived upon hearing the news. The dragon flames around Yu Mo extinguished, and he was unharmed. Ao Xuan was stunned into silence. The Blazing Dragon Flame was powerful, and no one could escape by chance. He suspected Yu Mo's identity.

Yan Dan explained that she had given Yu Mo the Snow Spirit Ganoderma. Marshal Huode believed her, told her to go back first, and then gave Yu Mo and Ao Xuan a harsh lecture. Zhi Xi heard that Yan Dan had given the Snow Spirit Ganoderma to Yu Mo and was very jealous.

She deliberately sowed discord in front of Ying Yuan, speaking highly of Yan Dan while implying that Yan Dan and Yu Mo were close, and also requested to have Yan Dan transferred back to Xuanxin Cliff. Ying Yuan praised her calmly. Zhi Xi took the opportunity to propose learning the Flying String Technique. Ying Yuan demonstrated the key points of the Flying String Technique on the spot. He casually asked about the Dust Cutting Technique he had taught in Diyuan.

Zhi Xi happened to have practiced the Dust Cutting Technique, so she performed it in front of Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan was not interested in appreciating it, only thinking about how to handle the situation without hurting Yan Dan. Yan Dan happened to pass by and thought Ying Yuan was teaching Zhi Xi the Dust Cutting Technique. Zhi Xi lost her balance and almost fell. Ying Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

When Yan Dan saw this scene, she mistakenly thought that the person in Ying Yuan's dream was Zhi Xi. She could only leave in disappointment. Yan Dan came to the Goudan Residence in Diyuan again, and couldn't help but recall the beautiful times she spent there with Ying Yuan day and night. Her heart was a mix of emotions.

She poured out the agarwood ash from the agarwood burner and then put the agarwood burner into the fireplace in Qianyuan Palace to burn it, completely severing her feelings for Ying Yuan. Supreme Majesty heard that Ying Yuan was very caring towards Zhi Xi and was worried that feelings might develop between them. He personally came to Yanxu Heavenly Palace to find out the truth. Zhi Xi defended herself in every way.

Supreme Majesty brought the Emotion Cutting Line to test them. Ying Yuan's heart was calm towards Zhi Xi, and he voluntarily requested to be tested. Zhi Xi had no choice but to cooperate. The Emotion Cutting Line broke. Supreme Majesty confirmed that there were no feelings between them and planned to reward Zhi Xi for her contributions. Supreme Majesty remembered that Yan Dan had once requested to undergo mortal trials in Zhi Xi's place.

He announced on the spot that Yan Dan did not need to undergo the trial. Before leaving, Supreme Majesty reminded Ying Yuan to never fall for someone. Ying Yuan swore he would never, but he couldn't forget Yan Dan and didn't know what to do for a while. The lotus flowers in the Jade Pond bloomed overnight, and all palaces sent people to collect immortal dew. Ying Yuan sent Yan Dan to collect it.

He arrived at the Jade Pond early to wait for Yan Dan. Yingdeng offered to accompany Ying Yuan to admire the flowers. Ying Yuan decisively refused. Yingdeng took the opportunity to express her feelings to him. Ying Yuan warned her not to have selfish desires. Yingdeng retorted sharply. Yan Dan came to collect immortal dew. Ying Yuan advised her to stay for a while longer. The fragrance of the lotus could calm her mind and relieve her pain.

Yan Dan was very cold towards Ying Yuan and even told him to bring Zhi Xi here. Ying Yuan felt that the lotus flowers in Diyuan were a hundred times better than those here. Yan Dan pretended not to understand. Ying Yuan had to change the subject and asked Yan Dan to perform the 《Epic of the World-Creating Heroes》 again in Yanxu Heavenly Palace. Yan Dan decisively refused.

Yan Dan couldn't forget Ying Yuan, so she drowned her sorrows in alcohol. Lu Ming accompanied her to drink and relieve her worries. Yan Dan poured out the frustration in her heart to Lu Ming. Lu Ming advised her to drink Forgetfulness Water. Yan Dan didn't want to forget the beautiful days in Diyuan. Lu Ming suggested she have another dream. Yan Dan transformed into Zhi Xi and went to Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan had already guessed it was Yan Dan. He pretended to be asleep and dared not acknowledge her, fearing she would lose her life because of it. Yan Dan wanted to reach out and touch Ying Yuan's face, but she held back. She cried and ran away. Zhi Xi saw this scene and decided to cut off Yan Dan's feelings for Ying Yuan, lest she sink deeper and deeper.

Yingdeng came to Supreme Majesty early in the morning to report, adamantly claiming that Zhi Xi and Yan Dan had poisoned her with the lotus poison. Supreme Majesty sent people to summon Zhi Xi and Yan Dan. Zhi Xi lied that she had stayed with Ying Yuan all night. Yingdeng insisted that Yan Dan had poisoned her. Zhi Xi also fanned the flames from the side. Yan Dan denied the poisoning.

Supreme Majesty sent people to check the duty roster and found that Yan Dan had gone out last night. Supreme Majesty determined that Yan Dan had administered the poison and ordered Ying Yuan to deal with Yan Dan. Yingdeng pressured Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan knew Yan Dan was wrongly accused but couldn't say it directly. He had no choice but to order Yan Dan to receive the fire punishment at the Heavenly Gallows three days later.

Episode 14 Recap

Zhi Xi came to settle the score with Fairy Yingdeng. She had originally just wanted Fairy Yingdeng to find a minor fault with Yan Dan, so that Yan Dan could be expelled from Yanxu Heavenly Palace and stay away from Ying Yuan. Unexpectedly, Fairy Yingdeng actually framed Yan Dan for poisoning her. Zhi Xi was worried that Yan Dan, who lacked half a heart and had suffered the Heavenly Thunder Torture, would be beaten back to her original form.

Fairy Yingdeng just wanted Yan Dan to completely disappear. She repeatedly claimed that the lotus roots used to frame Yan Dan were provided by Zhi Xi and threatened her with this. Zhi Xi was left speechless. Yan Dan was escorted to the Heavenly Dungeon by heavenly soldiers. When passing by Yanxu Heavenly Palace, Yan Dan saw that Ying Yuan had sent people to return all her things to Xuanxin Cliff.

She recognized at a glance that the clothing dropped on the ground was something she had personally sewn for Ying Yuan, and wanted to reach out and pick it up, but was stopped by Fairy Yingdeng. Fairy Yingdeng reminded Yan Dan to give up on Ying Yuan as soon as possible. Although Ying Yuan cared about the creatures of the three realms, his heart could not hold any woman.

Ying Yuan merely treated Yan Dan as a little immortal attendant to amuse himself. Fairy Yingdeng's words deeply hurt Yan Dan. Yan Dan was imprisoned in the Heavenly Dungeon. Zhi Xi came to see her and repeatedly explained that she had only wanted to drive her away from Ying Yuan, but ended up causing such big trouble. Yan Dan was very sad, not expecting Zhi Xi to actually frame her. Zhi Xi felt very wronged.

The day Ying Yuan saved them, he declared that she was the weakest one. This matter was the biggest knot in her heart that troubled her. She put in a hundred times the effort to become a deputy manager, but was still ridiculed, while Yan Dan effortlessly had everything. Zhi Xi did not want to live in Yan Dan's shadow anymore, so she could only resort to this inferior plan. Yan Dan was heartbroken.

She had dedicated herself to helping Zhi Xi attain enlightenment and become an immortal, but Zhi Xi treated her as an imaginary enemy. Zhi Xi admitted her mistake to Yan Dan, but Yan Dan did not want to listen. The immortal attendant from Qianyuan Palace threw the agarwood burner into the furnace to burn. The agarwood burner had been enchanted, so it could not be burned at all.

The immortal attendant wanted to return the agarwood burner to Yan Dan, but she was no longer in Yanxu Heavenly Palace. The immortal attendant handed the agarwood burner to Ying Yuan. Only when Ying Yuan learned that Yan Dan wanted to burn the agarwood burner he had personally carved did he realize how disappointed Yan Dan was with him. Yu Mo heard that Yan Dan was imprisoned in the Heavenly Dungeon and swore to rescue her.

However, Marshal Huode had set up a barrier in Yu Mo's room, and Yu Mo tried several times but could not open it. Chao Lan came to find Yu Mo and learned that he was trapped by the barrier, so she wanted to go find Marshal Huode to help him remove it. Yu Mo did not want to cause further trouble and wanted to open the barrier by himself to save Yan Dan.

Lu Ming came to the Heavenly Dungeon invisible to see Yan Dan and advised her to tell Ying Yuan the truth. Yan Dan firmly refused. As long as she could resolve Zhi Xi's inner demon, she was willing to undergo trials in the mortal realm. Lu Ming advised Yan Dan to bring Yu Mo with her, but Yan Dan did not want to implicate Yu Mo. Ying Yuan unconsciously came to Diyuan.

He stood under the Kunlun tree, lost in thought, and couldn't help but recall the past scenes of Yan Dan taking care of him without complaint or regret. Ying Yuan's heart was filled with mixed emotions. Immediately after, Ying Yuan came to the Goudan Residence and saw that the furnishings were still the same, but there was a small pile of incense ash on the table.

From it, Ying Yuan found unburned lotus petals and only then realized that Yan Dan had picked her own petals to burn, falsely claiming it was the scent of a pond of lotuses. Ying Yuan was moved to tears by Yan Dan's painstaking effort. Fairy Yingdeng came to Diyuan to find Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan had already investigated and found that Yan Dan was innocent and that the poison in Fairy Yingdeng was administered by herself, and it only took effect after three consecutive doses. Fairy Yingdeng felt very wronged. Ever since Supreme Majesty sent her, the Firefly Lamp, to accompany Ying Yuan during his night readings, she had waited for Ying Yuan for thousands of years, finally transforming into human form.

Supreme Majesty then let Ying Yuan bring Fairy Yingdeng back to Yanxu Heavenly Palace, but Ying Yuan only had Yan Dan in his heart. Ying Yuan had long seen through her ambition to transform from an artifact spirit into an immortal spirit. Fairy Yingdeng bitterly begged Ying Yuan to spare her, threatening him by bringing up the matter of Ying Yuan and Yan Dan developing feelings for each other.

Ying Yuan did not want Yan Dan to die from the punishment for forbidden love, so he decided to spare her. Although Fairy Yingdeng promised to keep this secret, she secretly swore in her heart to make Ying Yuan personally send Yan Dan to the Heavenly Gallows, so that their relationship would be completely severed from then on.

Ying Yuan brought the chess manuals and military treatises that Marshal Huode had always dreamed of, and begged Marshal Huode to grant Yan Dan a divine pardon. Ying Yuan was worried that Yan Dan's body could not withstand the suffering of the fire punishment and wanted her to be exempted from the punishment. Ying Yuan also asked Marshal Huode to take Yan Dan as his disciple. Marshal Huode was very optimistic about Yan Dan and readily agreed.

Chao Lan and Yu Mo joined forces and exerted their strength, but were still unable to break the barrier set up by Marshal Huode. Chao Lan took out her beloved Huanxin Bell and tried again. The barrier was quickly opened, but the Huanxin Bell was completely destroyed. Chao Lan was heartbroken. Yu Mo couldn't think about that much and promised to compensate her with another Huanxin Bell, and then he went to save Yan Dan.

Episode 15 Recap

Ying Yuan came to the Heavenly Dungeon invisibly to see Yan Dan. Yan Dan was haggard, leaning weakly against the iron gate, dozing. Ying Yuan's heart ached as if pierced by a knife. He wanted to reach out and touch Yan Dan's face, but Yan Dan suddenly opened her eyes, so Ying Yuan had to withdraw his hand, vowing to protect Yan Dan well.

Not long after Ying Yuan left, Yu Mo came to the Heavenly Dungeon to save Yan Dan. Yan Dan did not want to escape and wanted to stay to prove her innocence, lying that Ying Yuan had already agreed to let her leave the Heavenly Realm. Yan Dan asked Yu Mo to wait for her in the mortal realm, but Yu Mo was still worried and promised to wait for her at the Heavenly Gallows three days later.

They would descend to the mortal realm together. Yu Mo personally made her egg fried rice, and Yan Dan was very happy to have him as such a good friend. Three days passed in a flash. Ying Yuan personally came to the Heavenly Dungeon to escort Yan Dan to the Heavenly Gallows and untied her bonds. Fairy Yingdeng strongly protested, worried that Yan Dan would take the opportunity to escape.

Ying Yuan was very impatient and forbade Fairy Yingdeng from following them to the Heavenly Gallows, so Fairy Yingdeng had to give up. Yan Dan repeatedly emphasized that she did not administer the poison and hoped Ying Yuan would believe her. Ying Yuan remembered Fairy Yingdeng's threat involving the punishment for forbidden love. It was inconvenient for him to say it explicitly, so he had to punish Yan Dan according to the law.

Yan Dan recalled Ying Yuan's promise in the small thatched hut and felt utterly disappointed. Ying Yuan brought Yan Dan to Wuqiao. Yan Dan admitted that she had violated heavenly rules by developing feelings for Ying Yuan and asked Ying Yuan to kill her personally. When the heavenly soldiers heard Yan Dan's offensive words, they all drew their swords, but Ying Yuan quickly stopped them. Yan Dan pressed Ying Yuan hard, forcing him to speak his true feelings.

Ying Yuan claimed that his heart was dedicated to all living beings and that he had no selfish desires or impure thoughts. Yan Dan was completely disheartened and jumped off Wuqiao. Ying Yuan jumped down without hesitation to save Yan Dan. Yan Dan suffered the pain of the fire punishment, and Ying Yuan used his body to shield her, leaving both of them severely injured.

Supreme Majesty learned that Ying Yuan had jumped off Wuqiao after Yan Dan and personally set up a barrier on the bridge, forbidding anyone from taking a single step onto it. Yu Mo and Lu Ming came to the Heavenly Gallows and saw Zhi Xi sitting there weeping secretly, only then realizing that Yan Dan and Ying Yuan had successively jumped off the bridge.

Lu Ming knew that jumping from here would result in significant damage to one's immortal spirit at the least, and complete annihilation at the worst. Yu Mo wanted to jump down to save them but was blocked by the barrier set up by Supreme Majesty. The lotus flower on his wrist showed an unusual reaction.

Yu Mo knew that Yan Dan was still alive and secretly rejoiced in his heart, vowing to search every corner of the world to find her. Yan Dan woke up groggily and found that Ying Yuan had saved her. She was greatly confused. Ying Yuan directly exposed that the reason Yan Dan did not acknowledge him was only to protect Zhi Xi. Yan Dan was both surprised and delighted; Ying Yuan had not forgotten their promise at all.

She did not understand why Ying Yuan had said such heartless words just now. Ying Yuan found that Yan Dan's immortal spirit was completely shattered and that she could never return to the Heavenly Realm. He could only send Yan Dan to this place. Yan Dan's newly rekindled hope was crushed again.

She took out the Dawn Dream Butterfly, wanting to win back Ying Yuan's heart, but Ying Yuan destroyed it on the spot and advised Yan Dan to let go of her feelings and face reality. Yizang, the Night Official of Wangchuan, came to pick up Yan Dan and take her across Night Wangchuan. Only by erasing all past memories could she step onto the Yellow Springs Road and then transform into a mortal to enter the Mortal Realm.

Yizang gave Yan Dan a Netherworld Fire Lantern; the lantern recorded her past. If the Netherworld Fire Lantern extinguished after crossing Night Wangchuan, it meant that Yan Dan had forgotten her past. Yan Dan held the Netherworld Fire Lantern and let Ying Yuan watch her forget everything about the past with his own eyes. Ying Yuan used an illusionary technique to hide the Dawn Dream Butterfly; he wanted Yan Dan to be completely heartbroken and give up hope.

Yan Dan stepped onto Night Wangchuan without hesitation. Yizang advised Ying Yuan to leave quickly to avoid harming his celestial body, so Ying Yuan had to leave first. Ying Yuan returned to report to Supreme Majesty. Supreme Majesty reprimanded him severely and told him to go back and reflect. Marshal Huode brought the divine pardon. Ying Yuan was willing to accept the punishment for forbidden love. Supreme Majesty advised him to reconsider, but Ying Yuan's mind was made up.

Supreme Majesty personally administered the cruel punishment to him. Fairy Yingdeng rushed over to plead for Ying Yuan, and Marshal Huode also stepped forward to speak favorably for Ying Yuan, but Supreme Majesty paid no heed and continued the cruel punishment for forbidden love on Ying Yuan. Fairy Yingdeng begged Supreme Majesty to erase Ying Yuan's memories of Yan Dan. Supreme Majesty could not think of a better solution for a while and had to comply.

Yan Dan walked into Night Wangchuan holding the Netherworld Fire Lantern. The scenes of her and Ying Yuan relying on each other lingered in her mind. Yan Dan forced herself to forget. Ying Yuan seemed to see Yan Dan appear before him. He wanted to reach out, but Yan Dan suddenly disappeared.

Ying Yuan locked his memories of him and Yan Dan within his immortal spirit, promising to diligently perform his duties from now on, relinquish all selfish desires and impure thoughts, and uphold peace in the three realms. Seeing that his resolve was firm, Supreme Majesty could only agree.

Episode 16 Recap

Yan Dan, holding the Netherworld Fire Lantern, walked into the cold, dark Night Wangchuan. She still couldn't forget the past, so she had to come back to find Yizang. Yizang had been the Night Official for many years and had seen people take up to seven days to completely forget their past. He advised Yan Dan to first find an inn to rest and continue tomorrow. Ying Yuan was covered in wounds from the cruel punishment of forbidden love.

He had also jumped off Wuqiao to save Yan Dan, which undoubtedly worsened his condition. Ultimately, his immortal spirit completely dissipated, and he was on his last breath. The immortal attendants were burning with anxiety but did not dare to seek treatment from the heavenly physician, fearing that news of Ying Yuan receiving punishment for forbidden love would spread and cause trouble. Supreme Majesty personally came to visit Ying Yuan and channeled immortal power into him.

He instructed the immortal attendants to take good care of Ying Yuan, stating that he had just suffered severe cold and must not be exposed to worldly air, otherwise he would fall into a coma for a hundred years or his spirit would shatter and his life would be lost.

Ying Yuan finally woke up and found that the immortal attendants had thrown the Hunyuan Jade Belt, which Yan Dan had mended, along with his clothes, into the Yuan Burning Furnace of the Qianyun Palace. Without a word, he rushed into the furnace. The immortal attendants were at their wit's end with anxiety; the fire in the Yuan Burning Furnace could not be extinguished. They could only wait anxiously.

Ying Yuan braved the raging fire and finally found the Hunyuan Jade Belt. He took it out of the scorching flames and tied it around his waist. The immortal attendants discovered that Ying Yuan's immortal spirit had completely dissipated. Ying Yuan knew that the worst outcome was his spirit shattering and life being lost. He decided to resign from the position of Sovereign Lord and leave the Yanxu Heavenly Palace. The immortal attendants' earnest pleas were futile.

Ying Yuan came to the Gou Dan Residence, wanting to atone for his sins here and protect the unforgettable love between him and Yan Dan. Yu Mo saw that the Gou Dan Residence was lit up and guessed that Ying Yuan was there. He wanted to rush in and settle scores with him.

Lu Ming desperately stopped Yu Mo, repeatedly explaining that Ying Yuan cared deeply about Yan Dan, otherwise he wouldn't have sought a pardon from Marshal Huode, let alone jump off Wuqiao to save Yan Dan. Yu Mo didn't believe him at all, convinced that Ying Yuan had failed Yan Dan and even forced her to jump off Wuqiao.

Lu Ming found the lotus seeds that Ying Yuan had planted for Yan Dan in the pond and advised Yu Mo not to be impulsive. The most important thing now was to go to the mortal realm to find Yan Dan. Only then did Yu Mo feel slightly relieved. He immediately went to find a way to break the barrier. Zhi Xi carefully looked through the things Yan Dan had left behind. Many of them were for her.

Zhi Xi missed Yan Dan upon seeing these items and remembered everything Yan Dan had done for her, her heart filled with guilt. Zhi Xi came to the divine temple to pray for Yan Dan. Fairy Yingdeng saw this scene, scoffed at Zhi Xi for being insincere, and spoke harshly to her. Fairy Yingdeng saw the porcelain bottle left by Yan Dan, filled with immortal power, and smashed it on the spot before swaggering away.

Zhi Xi vowed to avenge Yan Dan. Zhi Xi wanted to know Yan Dan's current situation, so she bribed the immortal registry official. She could check the list of people crossing the river every day, and Ying Yuan also checked this list daily. Fairy Yingdeng heard about this and sent the immortal registry official to forge a fake register, writing Yan Dan's name on it, so that Zhi Xi and Ying Yuan would completely give up hope.

Ying Yuan remained alone in the Gou Dan Residence, diligently guarding it, and also handled the daily affairs of the Heavenly Realm. Zhi Xi came to see him and revealed that Yan Dan had crossed Night Wangchuan and gone to the mortal realm. Ying Yuan didn't believe it at all. Zhi Xi then took out the register of people crossing the river. Ying Yuan felt conflicted inside and desperately tried to hide it.

Zhi Xi advised Ying Yuan not to worry about this matter anymore and to take good care of his health. Ying Yuan was very impatient and dismissed her with a few words. Yu Mo racked his brains looking for a way to descend to the mortal realm, but all his efforts were in vain.

He wanted to leave through the Four Heavenly Gates, but the heavenly soldiers guarding them required inspection of the Sovereign Lord's document, so Yu Mo had to give up. Yu Mo accidentally discovered a book called "Nine Fin Scripture" and found that the Nine Fin Dragon Horn was indestructible and could cut through anything.

Chao Lan came to bring food to Yu Mo and saw that he had risked his life to cut off his own dragon horn, resulting in the complete dissipation of his immortal power. Chao Lan found in the scripture that a broken dragon horn meant he could turn to ash and vanish at any moment.

Yu Mo begged Chao Lan to use the dragon horn to open the barrier, as he wanted to go to the mortal realm to save Yan Dan. Chao Lan firmly refused, determined to help Yu Mo restore his spiritual power at all costs. She went to Lu Ming for help. Lu Ming revealed that only Supreme Majesty's Nine Revolutions Reversal Pill could save Yu Mo. He wanted to steal this pill tonight. Chao Lan came up with a good idea.

Supreme Majesty bestowed a marriage upon Ao Xuan and Chao Lan and specifically held a banquet at the Jade Pond. The East Sea Dragon King came to the Heavenly Realm to take them back for their wedding. Chao Lan requested Supreme Majesty's Nine Revolutions Reversal Pill as a wedding gift. Supreme Majesty readily agreed and gave it to her on the spot.

Ying Yuan came to the divine temple and saw the heavenly soldiers and generals repairing the damaged giant pillar. They couldn't guess which superior deity had protected the giant pillar during the celestial-demon war. Ying Yuan detected the power of lotus within it and guessed that it was Yan Dan's doing. The heavenly general wanted to request merits for Yan Dan, but Ying Yuan knew that Yan Dan was not interested in this.

He ordered them to record it as an anonymous person who protected the giant pillar of the divine temple. Ying Yuan secretly prayed in his heart for Yan Dan's safety. Chao Lan handed the Nine Revolutions Reversal Pill to Lu Ming. Lu Ming knew that she was forced to marry Ao Xuan for Yu Mo and couldn't help but feel pity for her. Chao Lan was willing to make sacrifices for Yu Mo.

She was about to leave the Heavenly Realm with the East Sea Dragon King and Ao Xuan. Lu Ming asked her to wait until Yu Mo woke up before leaving. Chao Lan was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear leaving at that time, so she left with tears in her eyes. After Yu Mo took the Nine Revolutions Reversal Pill, his immortal power recovered.

When he learned that Chao Lan had sacrificed her own happiness to obtain this Nine Revolutions Reversal Pill, he hurriedly chased after Chao Lan to express his gratitude. Chao Lan told Yu Mo to follow them down to the mortal realm through the South Heavenly Gate while it was chaotic. Chao Lan and Yu Mo joined forces, finally opening a gap in the barrier set up by Supreme Majesty.

When Ao Xuan saw this scene, he thought Chao Lan was eloping with Yu Mo and used the Dragon Clan's secret Returning Origin Technique to stop them. Yu Mo took out the dragon horn to open the barrier but was severely wounded by the Returning Origin Technique. He struggled to stand up. Chao Lan reluctantly bid farewell to him. Yu Mo descended to the mortal realm from there without looking back.

Episode 17 Recap

Lu Ming watched Yu Mo's receding figure, silently praying in his heart that Yu Mo and Yan Dan would meet in the mortal realm. Yan Dan, holding the Netherworld Fire Lantern, crossed Night Wangchuan. Seeing everyone around her pass through successfully one by one, only she couldn't forget the past. Each time she returned without success. Going back and forth like this for over eight hundred years, Yan Dan was already physically and mentally exhausted. Today was Yan Dan's birthday.

Lu Ming didn't know about Yu Mo and Yan Dan's situation. He was restless and couldn't help but come to the Library Pavilion. Recalling the good times they spent here together, Lu Ming felt a mix of emotions. An immortal attendant asked Lu Ming to help sort out the documents sent by the King of the Underworld from Night Wangchuan. Among them was a list of those who hadn't crossed the river.

Lu Ming found Yan Dan's name on it and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If one couldn't cross the river within nine hundred years, their spirit would shatter into dust. Lu Ming rushed to find Ying Yuan for help. He ran into Zhi Xi and couldn't help but scold her. Zhi Xi was greatly puzzled upon learning that Yan Dan hadn't crossed the river yet. Ying Yuan had been in a coma.

Lu Ming begged him to wake up quickly, otherwise Yan Dan wouldn't be saved. Zhi Xi came afterward. She used all her spiritual power to save Ying Yuan but ended up severely injured. She had to leave first and asked Lu Ming to hide this matter from Ying Yuan. Fairy Yingdeng sorted out the magical artifacts sent by the King of the Underworld. Among them was a magical artifact called the Swift Sound Bat.

If this bat was released, one could hear the sounds of others. Fairy Yingdeng was very interested. Just then, an immortal attendant reported the news of Ying Yuan's awakening to her. Without a word, Fairy Yingdeng took the immortal dew and went to visit him. Ying Yuan was discussing the matter of rescuing Yan Dan with Lu Ming. Fairy Yingdeng was refused entry.

She asked the immortal attendant to take the immortal dew in and also secretly left the Swift Sound Bat. Lu Ming earnestly pleaded with Ying Yuan to save Yan Dan, otherwise she would turn to dust. Ying Yuan, upon learning that Yan Dan only had three days left, hurriedly rushed to Wuqiao. Supreme Majesty rushed over upon hearing the news to stop him. Fairy Yingdeng received this message and hurried to Wuqiao.

Ying Yuan insisted on going to save Yan Dan and voluntarily accepted self-punishment. Supreme Majesty couldn't bear it and had to let him leave. Ying Yuan dragged his severely injured body step by step towards Wuqiao. Fairy Yingdeng secretly vowed in her heart that she would never let Yan Dan return alive. She released a firefly to find the King of the Underworld.

Yizang waited anxiously by the river for news from the Heavenly Realm, wanting to know how Supreme Majesty would deal with Yan Dan. Ying Yuan suddenly arrived at Night Wangchuan and saw Yan Dan walking towards him, trembling. Ying Yuan discovered that Yan Dan was blind and hurriedly stepped forward to support her. Yan Dan mistook him for Yizang and repeatedly apologized to him. Yan Dan said she had tried her best, but still couldn't forget the past.

She didn't want to go back to the inn and wanted to wait by the river for two days, after which she could be completely free. Ying Yuan disguised himself as Yizang and used persuasion to convince Yan Dan to return to the inn. Ying Yuan used a sandalwood incense burner to burn incense and also prepared a warm brazier for Yan Dan. Ying Yuan found that Yan Dan hadn't lost her sense of taste and touch.

He advised Yan Dan to sleep well tonight and promised to accompany her across the river tomorrow. Yan Dan hadn't had a good night's sleep for these nine hundred years. Tonight happened to be the New Year's Eve vigil at Night Wangchuan, and the Soul Calming Melody would be played. Ying Yuan believed Yan Dan could have a good night's sleep. Yan Dan soon fell asleep peacefully. Ying Yuan stayed by Yan Dan's side.

Seeing the Chenhua hairpin under the pillow, he recognized it as the one he had given to Yan Dan. Ying Yuan vowed that he would not let Yan Dan die. Ao Xuan spent eight hundred years collecting all the rare treasures from within the Four Seas. He also sent people to keep an eye on Chao Lan and found out she went to the Clam Tribe to ask for precious dew.

Ao Xuan then bought back all the precious dew and sent it to Chao Lan as betrothal gifts. Chao Lan falsely claimed her old illness had relapsed and avoided seeing him. Ao Xuan barged in to find Chao Lan. She was carefully wiping a scale with precious dew. Ao Xuan was greatly angered to see Chao Lan unharmed. He spoke harshly to Chao Lan, but Chao Lan retorted. In a fit of anger, Ao Xuan snatched the scale.

Chao Lan desperately tried to get it back. Ao Xuan took the scale and swaggered away. Ao Xuan handed the scale to the East Sea Dragon King for inspection. The East Sea Dragon King immediately recognized it as a Nine Fin Tribe scale. Ao Xuan concluded that this was a token of affection from Yu Mo to Chao Lan and vowed to kill Yu Mo to prevent future trouble.

The East Sea Dragon King then gave him the Soul Shattering Hook, the secret weapon used to execute the Nine Fin Tribe back then, and promised him the position of East Sea Dragon King after the deed was done. Fairy Yingdeng's emissary found the King of the Underworld and revealed to him that refining the Four-leaf lotus could bring the dead back to life, heal all ailments, and mend broken bones. Currently, Yan Dan was in Night Wangchuan.

The King of the Underworld had been ill for many years due to this ailment and feared it would shake his position. Fairy Yingdeng wanted Yan Dan dead. Both had their own needs and readily agreed. Ying Yuan brought Yan Dan into Night Wangchuan and used immortal power to create a pond of lotuses, allowing Yan Dan to fully enjoy the fragrance. Ying Yuan took out a Dream Butterfly.

Yan Dan was surprised that there were still butterflies in such a cold and dark place as Night Wangchuan. Yizang arrived drunk and immediately recognized the Dream Butterfly. He went on and on about the legend of the Dream Butterfly. Ying Yuan quickly interrupted him and told him to go attend the grand banquet hosted by the King of the Underworld.

Episode 18 Recap

Yan Dan used immortal power to make Yizang shut up, so Yizang had to leave resentfully. Yan Dan personally watched the Dream Butterfly being destroyed and repeatedly asked why it would reappear. Ying Yuan lied, claiming that the Dream Butterfly only emerges from its cocoon when it detects ruthlessness and can be reborn from resentment, so its reappearance was not strange.

Yan Dan believed that the butterfly entering her dream in the thatched cottage back then was because Ying Yuan was ruthless towards her. She was completely disheartened. Ying Yuan seized the opportunity to persuade her to forget the past. Yan Dan painfully bid farewell to Ying Yuan and walked into Night Wangchuan step by step. The King of the Underworld suddenly appeared with people, threatening to capture Yan Dan. Ying Yuan set up a barrier to protect Yan Dan.

The King of the Underworld gave an order, dispatching people to forcibly seize Yan Dan. Yu Mo arrived in the mortal realm. He searched everywhere but could not find Yan Dan's whereabouts. Ao Xuan personally led people to hunt Yu Mo, showing him the scale Yu Mo had given Chao Lan. Yu Mo was anxious to find someone and did not want to linger in battle, so he could only fight and retreat. Ao Xuan relentlessly pursued him.

Ying Yuan pressed the King of the Underworld, asking why he wanted to capture Yan Dan. The King of the Underworld refused to answer. Ying Yuan used immortal power to test him. The King of the Underworld hurriedly released the Swift Sound Bat with his left hand. Ying Yuan discovered that he not only had helpers in the Heavenly Realm but also signs of backlash on his right hand, guessing that he captured Yan Dan to heal himself.

The King of the Underworld attacked Ying Yuan fiercely. Ying Yuan subdued him effortlessly. He recognized Ying Yuan as the Heavenly Sovereign Lord and was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy. Ying Yuan did not want Yan Dan to know his identity, so he used power to make her temporarily deaf. Ying Yuan discovered that the King of the Underworld's right hand was injured by Celestial Deity Wanyun's magical artifact, the Seven Luminaries Golden Seal.

He was very puzzled, as the King of the Underworld and Celestial Deity Wanyun had never fought before. The King of the Underworld claimed he was injured by Celestial Deity Wanyun during the War Between Immortals and Demons. It turned out that Shuohua had persuaded the King of the Underworld to participate in the War Between Immortals and Demons, promising him that he would reap the benefits.

The King of the Underworld led his troops and was trapped, waiting a long time without seeing any reinforcements. Three Sovereign Lords arrived later with Xuan Xiang's body. Celestial Deity Wanyun injured the King of the Underworld with the Seven Luminaries Golden Seal. The King of the Underworld was so frightened that he surrendered on the spot and was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.

After the war ended, Supreme Majesty, considering the King of the Underworld a first-time offender, punished him by reducing his thousand years of cultivation and banishing him to Night Wangchuan. Ying Yuan was completely baffled. Historical records stated that during the War Between Immortals and Demons, three Sovereign Lords and Celestial Deity Beiming fell into the Demon King's ambush and mistakenly entered the demonic realm, eventually dying in battle.

This was completely different from what the King of the Underworld said. Ying Yuan suspected there was a hidden story. He decided to escort Yan Dan across Night Wangchuan before interrogating the King of the Underworld. Yan Dan thought Ying Yuan was Yizang. She did not want to implicate Yizang and went to Night Wangchuan alone. Ying Yuan caught up with Yan Dan.

Yan Dan had completely given up on Ying Yuan and wanted to forget all her memories as quickly as possible and leave Night Wangchuan. However, this matter consumed too much energy. Yan Dan fainted from exhaustion. Ying Yuan worried that if Yan Dan could not leave Night Wangchuan, her spirit would turn to dust, so he had to find other ways to help her cross the river.

Ying Yuan looked up in books and found that the Sleepy Elixir could make one forget the past. He used the bones under the Wangchuan Refining Field and then collected the ashes from the path to make the Sleepy Elixir. Ying Yuan used the Burning Heart Fire to refine the Sleepy Elixir. He also burned the two locks of hair that Yan Dan had kept as tokens of their affection, completely erasing all memories in Yan Dan's heart.

As Ying Yuan watched Yan Dan forget the past little by little, he felt a pain like his heart was being twisted by a knife. In her dazed state, Yan Dan tightly clutched Ying Yuan's sleeve and refused to let go. Ying Yuan deliberately spoke cruel words and ruthlessly pushed her away. Ying Yuan placed the Sleepy Elixir into Yan Dan's body and then kissed her goodbye. Ying Yuan tightly embraced the drowsy Yan Dan.

Countless Dream Butterflies fluttered around them. Ying Yuan blew out the sandalwood incense burner and carried Yan Dan into Night Wangchuan. Ying Yuan told Yan Dan to go to the mortal realm and live as a free and unrestrained flower demon, but he could not accompany her there and could only let the Chenhua hairpin protect her. The Netherworld Fire Lantern in Yan Dan's hand finally extinguished. She sank into the deep Night Wangchuan.

Ying Yuan had to leave in pain. Just as Ying Yuan was about to find the King of the Underworld to investigate the truth about the Seven Luminaries Golden Seal, he was unexpectedly attacked by three people in black. Ying Yuan found their powers formidable and suspected this was a tactic to lure him away. Ying Yuan quickly drove them off. When he arrived at the Heavenly Prison, he found that the King of the Underworld had been silenced.

Ying Yuan firmly believed there was a hidden story in the War Between Immortals and Demons and immediately went back to investigate. Ao Xuan led his men to catch up with Yu Mo. Yu Mo fought fiercely with them with all his might. Zi Lin was passing by and was attacked by Ao Xuan. Yu Mo joined forces with him to fight against Ao Xuan. Ao Xuan used the Soul Shattering Hook to shatter Yu Mo's Dragon Core.

He fainted on the spot. Ao Xuan concluded that he was certain to die before leaving with his men. To thank Yu Mo for saving his life, Zi Lin took Yu Mo to Qiuxi's hot spring to heal his injuries. Yu Mo's injuries gradually healed, and his Dragon Core was restored. Just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by Qiuxi. Fairy Yingdeng burned the Swift Sound Bat. Zhi Xi watched clearly from the side.

Ao Xuan returned to the East Sea Dragon Palace and was surprised to learn that Chao Lan had come with the South Sea Dragon King to propose marriage. Chao Lan eagerly asked him for the scale. Ao Xuan lied that he had lost it and also told her about Yu Mo's death. Chao Lan left angrily.

Episode 19 Recap

Qiú Xī attacked Zi Lin fiercely. Zi Lin was no match for him and was soon defeated. Yu Mo rushed forward and engaged in a fierce battle with Qiú Xī. Qiú Xī gradually began to lose ground and had no choice but to display his unique skill to attack Yu Mo, ordering the demons to surround and attack Yu Mo. Bai Ling loudly reminded Yu Mo not to kill those minor demons. Yu Mo knocked them to the ground.

Jù Xī made a comeback and pressed Yu Mo step by step, using his unique skill again. Zi Lin, worried that Yu Mo might get hurt, quickly stepped forward to reinforce him but was seriously injured by Jù Xī. Yu Mo did not want to prolong the fight and killed Jù Xī on the spot. Ying Yuan requested Supreme Majesty to descend to the mortal realm to thoroughly investigate the truth of the War Between Immortals and Demons.

Supreme Majesty worried that this action would cause chaos in the three realms. Ying Yuan was willing to bear the charge of violating heavenly rules and being banished, only then did Supreme Majesty reluctantly agree.

Supreme Majesty retained Ying Yuan's memory and immortal power to facilitate his actions in the mortal realm and also sent someone to arrange a fate for Ying Yuan that would allow him to cut off emotions and desires for easier cultivation, helping him focus and achieve twice the result with half the effort. Yu Mo used his extraordinary eyes to help Zi Lin heal. He quickly recovered as before.

Zi Lin was extremely grateful to Yu Mo and wanted to become sworn brothers with him. Yu Mo politely declined. He was anxious to find Yan Dan and turned to leave. Zi Lin hinted for the demons to keep Yu Mo. On behalf of the Feather Tribe, Flower Spirit Tribe, and Wolf Tribe demons, they all knelt down and called Yu Mo their mountain lord. Yu Mo was greatly puzzled.

Zi Lin explained that Mount Yalán has always elected its mountain lord based on the level of demonic power. Qiú Xī relied on this hot spring that heals injuries and supplements immortal power to establish himself as king. Now that Yu Mo had eliminated Jù Xī, he naturally should be the mountain lord. Yu Mo was not interested in this. He wanted to descend the mountain as soon as possible to find Yan Dan.

Zi Lin quietly called him aside and advised him to use the vast network of the demons on Mount Yalán to find someone. Yu Mo reluctantly agreed after being pestered. He publicly announced that Zi Lin was also a mountain lord. The demons all knelt and paid homage to them. Yu Mo sent Bai Ling to guard the hot spring and allowed the scattered demons to return to their homes.

If they encountered mortals on the way, they must not harm them, and any demon who endangered the mortal realm would be severely punished. Zhi Xi was rewarded by Supreme Majesty for cutting out her heart to save Ying Yuan. Supreme Majesty personally presided over her advancement ceremony to become an immortal. Zhi Xi successfully became an immortal as she wished.

After the ceremony ended, Ying Yuan came to confront Zhi Xi, accusing her of betraying Yan Dan's genuine kindness and causing Yan Dan immense suffering because of the false register. Zhi Xi mistakenly believed that Yan Dan had already turned to dust and was also heartbroken. Ying Yuan bestowed upon her an immortal ornament and insincerely wished her continuous promotion. Yan Dan successfully crossed Night Wangchuan and arrived in the mortal realm.

As a result, she landed on the wedding bed of a newlywed couple. The groom and bride were so frightened that they cried out loudly. Yan Dan quickly rushed out the door. Worried about being caught, she had no choice but to pretend to be an actress and go on stage to perform. Jiàng Chén, the lead actress of the Huanxi Opera Troupe, was performing and was caught off guard by Yan Dan.

She quickly composed herself and calmly cooperated with Yan Dan to continue the performance. Yan Dan was composed and calm, singing vividly and realistically. The two cooperated perfectly, and the guests attending the wedding applauded and cheered for them. Prince Pei Luo was watching the play from below the stage. He praised Yan Dan's performance profusely. Jiàng Chén invited Yan Dan to join the Pear Garden troupe and casually asked for Yan Dan's name.

Yan Dan gave herself the name "Bai Piàoliang". Fairy Yingdeng destroyed the Swift Sound Bat and framed Zhi Xi. Zhi Xi argued with her based on reason. Supreme Majesty sent someone to inform Fairy Yingdeng to prepare a body-protecting magical artifact for Ying Yuan. Fairy Yingdeng dared not delay and planned to deal with Zhi Xi after finishing the task. Ying Yuan was about to descend to the mortal realm. The immortal attendants came to see him off.

Fairy Yingdeng presented a body-protecting magical artifact. Ying Yuan did not accept any magical artifacts, so Fairy Yingdeng could only leave sullenly. Lù Míng gave Ying Yuan a lotus seed and entrusted him to take good care of Yan Dan. Ying Yuan jumped down from the Heavenly Realm without hesitation, enduring many hardships before finally reaching the mortal realm.

Yu Mo stood by the river and injected his own blood into the lotus mark on his wrist, then transferred these marks to the fish in the water, asking them to use this to find Yan Dan's whereabouts. Zi Lin mistakenly thought he was going to commit suicide and quickly stepped forward to stop him. Yu Mo explained the reason, and only then did Zi Lin feel relieved.

Yan Dan went to the riverside to wash clothes and saw a bruise on her face from her reflection in the water. She saw the small fish in the water and thought they were a medicinal guide given by Heaven, so she roasted and ate the fish. The bruise really disappeared. A demon catcher witnessed Yan Dan's actions and rushed forward to capture her.

Yan Dan didn't know she was a demon and thought the fish belonged to the demon catcher, so she ran away in fright. In her panic, she hung the Chenhua hairpin on a tree, and it was taken by the demon catcher. The magical artifacts of the deities in the Heavenly Realm are replaced every two hundred years. Fairy Yingdeng was about to be promoted to Supreme Majesty's chief attendant and replaced the deities' magical artifacts in advance.

She prepared a belt for Ying Yuan, specifically adding the refreshing and spirit-gathering Perola fragrance. Supreme Majesty praised her profusely. Lù Míng discovered that a jade hook was missing from the jade belt. Fairy Yingdeng immediately knelt down to admit her mistake. Zhi Xi interceded for Fairy Yingdeng and took the opportunity to mention that immortal artifacts had recently been stolen from the Magical Pavilion. Supreme Majesty sent heavenly soldiers to investigate the Magical Pavilion.

Fairy Yingdeng was scared out of her wits, fearing that the matter would be exposed. Zhi Xi revealed that a large amount of Perola fragrance could confuse the mind, and if combined with a few herbs, it could be made into the Heavenly Realm's forbidden drug, Bewitching Bone Fragrance. Fairy Yingdeng hadn't added it at all. Zhi Xi admitted that she had added these ingredients to Ying Yuan's belt, intending to use this to retaliate against Fairy Yingdeng.

Episode 20 Recap

Yan Dan stayed with the Huanxi Opera Troupe and soon wrote a play called "Pear Garden Gathering," which officially premiered today. The audience responded enthusiastically, and people came in droves to see the play, having heard its reputation. Yan Dan was overjoyed. Heavenly soldiers searched the Magical Pavilion and found a large amount of Perola fragrance and other medicinal herbs, solidifying the charge that Fairy Yingdeng had charmed Ying Yuan.

Supreme Majesty ordered Fairy Yingdeng's immortal status to be stripped, her immortal memories erased, and her banished to the mortal realm, never to be an immortal again. Zhi Xi fed Fairy Yingdeng an immortal pill, deliberately preserving her immortal memories, so that she would live a life of humiliation in the mortal realm, repaying the pain she inflicted on Yan Dan a hundred or a thousand times over. Fairy Yingdeng gnashed her teeth in anger.

Zhi Xi personally pushed Fairy Yingdeng down to the mortal realm. In fact, all of this was meticulously planned by Zhi Xi. She deliberately stole the jade hook and also had Lù Míng cooperate with her. Zhi Xi took the opportunity to expose Fairy Yingdeng's crime of colluding with the immortal registrar to forge the register of Night Wangchuan. Lù Míng witnessed Fairy Yingdeng undergoing torture and being banished to the mortal realm.

He revealed news about Yan Dan to Zhi Xi. Zhi Xi learned that Yan Dan had been rescued by Ying Yuan and had now transformed into a flower demon. She was so excited she cried tears of joy. Yan Dan pondered hard in her room but couldn't find writing inspiration. Jiang Chen told her that only by personally experiencing the five poisons, six delusions, seven emotions, and eight sufferings of the mortal realm could she write a deeply touching play.

Yu Mo sent people to recall the scattered demons to Mount Yalán. They lived a free and unrestrained life and were sincerely devoted to Yu Mo. The always strong Tiger Tribe wanted more territory. Yu Mo couldn't stand the Tiger Tribe's behavior of bullying the weak and challenged them, stating that if they could defeat either him or Zi Lin, their request would be granted. Yu Mo had received no news of Yan Dan.

He decided to go down the mountain himself to search for her. Zi Lin reminded him to use the powerful abilities of the Water Tribe to search. Yu Mo didn't want to wait any longer. He accidentally overheard a young wolf demon reciting lines from a play to the clan leader Shan Dan. Those lines were things Yan Dan had said when she was in the Heavenly Realm. Yu Mo was both surprised and delighted.

He was willing to give the young demon all his magical artifacts if he would tell him Yan Dan's whereabouts. The young demon revealed that the lines were from the play "Pear Garden". Jiang Chen had a special affection for Pei Luo. Pei Luo hadn't come to watch the play recently, so she was worried and sent someone to inquire. Upon learning that Pei Luo was critically ill and would not live much longer, Jiang Chen was heartbroken.

That night, Young Master Wang secretly came to Jiang Chen's room, attempting to commit an offense against her. Jiang Chen struggled desperately and cried out for help. Yan Dan arrived in time and knocked Young Master Wang to the ground. Young Master Wang discovered that Yan Dan was using demonic power. Jiang Chen was a Epiphyllum spirit and dared not use her demonic power to conceal her identity.

She saw that Yan Dan was a flower demon, which was why she cooperated with her on stage to finish that play. Jiang Chen was worried that Young Master Wang would reveal Yan Dan's identity when he woke up, so she gave Yan Dan a bracelet as a token and told her to go to Hidden Flower Mountain to seek refuge with the Flower Spirit Tribe leader.

Yan Dan wanted to go with Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen insisted on staying to look after Pei Luo. Yu Mo took Zi Lin down the mountain. They searched many opera troupes along the way, but found no news of Yan Dan. Yan Dan stole a horse from the backyard and intended to leave, but was discovered by Zi Lin. Yan Dan skillfully escaped using her magic.

When Yu Mo arrived upon hearing the news, he learned that a young demon had stolen his horse and didn't think much of it. Yan Dan soon arrived at Hidden Flower Mountain. The Flower Spirit Tribe leader was selecting beauties for the mountain lord. Female demons from various tribes rushed over upon hearing the news. The leader wanted to recommend his niece, Zǐ Téng, to be the mountain lord's wife. Yan Dan was also eager to try.

She introduced herself as Bai Piàoliang and improvised a piece of a play. The leader was very satisfied and asked Yan Dan to be Zǐ Téng's accompanying maid. Zi Lin brought Yu Mo to the Huanxi Opera Troupe and called Jiang Chen over to inquire about the situation. They learned that Yan Dan had injured Young Master Wang and escaped.

Jiang Chen learned that Yan Dan was the person Yu Mo deeply cared about, so she could only honestly reveal Yan Dan's situation. Yan Dan had no memory, didn't know she was a demon, had no origin or support, and due to the cold energy in her body, was covered in blue spots. Her demonic power was weak, she didn't know how to cultivate, and couldn't perform healing arts.

If no one looked after her, her life would be in danger sooner or later. Jiang Chen promised to help find Yan Dan and begged Yu Mo to save Pei Luo's life. Yu Mo gave her the extraordinary eye, reminding her to take it back after saving Pei Luo to prevent Pei Luo from becoming greedy. Pei Luo was critically ill, and Jiang Chen promptly brought him the extraordinary eye to save his life.

Ying Yuan descended to the mortal realm, joined the Lingxiao Sect as a demon hunter, and took the alias Tangzhou. Yan Dan was ordered to escort Zi Lin to see the mountain lord. Yu Mo happened to pass by on horseback at full speed, overturning the carriage carrying tribute. The Flower Spirit Tribe leader cried out in distress. Yu Mo didn't know that he and Yan Dan had just missed each other again. When he arrived at Hidden Flower Mountain, he only learned that Yan Dan had already left.

Episode 21 Recap

Zi Lin had all the demons decorate Mount Yalan anew, specially rehearsing songs and dances to welcome Yu Mo back with his beloved. However, Yu Mo returned alone, dejected and injured. Zi Lin showed concern for Yu Mo, asking him to use the extraordinary eye to heal him. Yu Mo had no choice but to admit that he had given the extraordinary eye away. Zi Lin thought he had given it as a betrothal gift and couldn't help but sigh.

Yu Mo wanted to be alone, so Zi Lin had to shut up. The Flower Spirit Tribe leader sent eight beauties to Yu Mo, and Zi Lin, worried that Yu Mo would think of the flower demon who had betrayed him, went to choose the beauties for him. Yan Dan immediately recognized Zi Lin as the turtle demon who had scolded her. Afraid of being recognized, she had to cover her face with her hands.

The leader introduced each of the girls, and Yan Dan excused herself, wanting to slip away, but Zi Lin hurriedly stepped forward to stop her. Fortunately, Yu Mo arrived in time to defuse the situation. Yu Mo recognized the flower demon before him as the Yan Dan he had been longing for day and night. He was overjoyed, but Yan Dan didn't remember him at all, only remembering that he had overturned the tribute cart while riding a horse.

When Yan Dan learned that Yu Mo was the mountain lord, she tried her best to please him, wanting to stay to heal her injuries. Yu Mo naturally couldn't wish for anything more and changed her name to Yan Dan on the spot, which Yan Dan readily agreed to. Yan Dan was extremely happy to have found the mountain lord as her backer.

Bai Ling was ordered to bathe and dress her, urging her to consummate their marriage with Yu Mo as soon as possible. Yan Dan repeatedly emphasized that she was only there to heal her injuries, but Bai Ling didn't believe her at all, telling her to remind Yu Mo to take the Emerald Pill of the Flower Spirit Tribe for healing. Bai Ling had the little demons bathe and dress Yan Dan and sent her to Yu Mo's room.

Yan Dan wanted to secretly take the Emerald Pill to remove the blue spots on her face, but she felt it was unethical. While she was hesitating, Yu Mo came back just in time, praising her for being beautiful even now. Yu Mo promised to give the Emerald Pill to Yan Dan.

When Yan Dan learned that Yu Mo was treating her as a concubine, she repeatedly explained that she was just there to make up the numbers, didn't understand love at all, and wasn't suitable for marriage yet. Yan Dan wanted to use the Emerald Pill to remove the blue spots on her face and was willing to be Yu Mo's little follower, wanting to sign a hundred-year indenture with Yu Mo.

Yu Mo was secretly delighted and immediately drew up the indenture, giving Yan Dan the Emerald Pill to take. Yan Dan could see that Yu Mo was weak, so she made him fried rice with eggs overnight. Seeing Yan Dan happy, Yu Mo secretly vowed to protect her completely.

Yu Mo held the bowl of fried rice with eggs, remembering the fried rice with eggs that Yan Dan had made for him in the Heavenly Realm, and was moved to tears. After the meal, Yu Mo left a mark on Yan Dan's wrist, and from then on, they were connected.

Yan Dan talked endlessly about her wishes, wanting to become a master of storybooks and experience the five poisons, six delusions, seven emotions, and eight sufferings of the mortal realm, and then write a touching story. Yu Mo agreed to take her to travel through the mortal realm and do a good deed every day, which made Yan Dan very happy.

Ying Yuan came to the mortal realm, joined the Lingxiao Sect as a demon hunter, and took the alias Tangzhou, hunting demons and monsters everywhere, deeply loved by the people. People came to propose marriage one after another. Tangzhou could only refuse guests behind closed doors. He subdued the cat demon attached to the human body and the rat demon that harmed the fields.

The wives of the two families sent him plaques to express their gratitude, vying to marry their daughters to him. The Lingxiao Sect leader falsely claimed that Tangzhou had smallpox, and the two wives hesitated. After sending away the two wives who came to propose marriage, the leader came to Tangzhou to explain the situation. Tangzhou wanted to travel down the mountain, but his master's death anniversary was approaching.

Tangzhou asked the leader to burn paper money for him, taking the opportunity to express something that had been in his heart for a long time. He often dreamed of a heartbroken woman jumping off a bridge in front of him. The woman's back was to him, and he couldn't see her face. The leader reminded him not to be bewitched by female demons, as his master had died because he trusted a female demon. Tangzhou remembered everything.

Yan Dan accidentally discovered that Zi Lin was hiding in a coffin, his true form being a large turtle. She couldn't help but make fun of him. Zi Lin repeatedly emphasized that he was a celestial turtle, but Yan Dan didn't believe him at all, mocking him. Zi Lin angrily chased after Yan Dan.

Yu Mo arrived in time to defuse the situation, and Zi Lin had no choice but to admit that he used to be a small turtle in the Heavenly Realm. Because he was often turned over, he hid in the coffin. Yu Mo was overjoyed, never expecting that Zi Lin was the little celestial turtle that Ying Yuan used to turn over. The leader personally sent Tangzhou down the mountain.

Qin Qi came when she heard the news, making fun of Tangzhou for leaving the sect to avoid bad romances, saying that he would still encounter romantic tribulations after going down the mountain. The leader hurriedly interrupted her, wishing Tangzhou a smooth journey. Yan Dan did whatever she wanted on Mount Yalan, repeatedly leading the mountain realm demon soldiers to rob the territories of the cat, rat, and tiger tribes, and also seized the demon cores of the tribe leaders.

They were desperate and had no choice but to submit to Yu Mo. Except for the fox tribe, which was reluctant to surrender, Yu Mo and Zi Lin were now the kings of all demons. Yu Mo tried his best to protect Yan Dan. Yan Dan sent Bai Ling to call Yu Mo to the library and threatened not to give him supper. Yu Mo hurried over, and Yan Dan was dozing off inside.

In her dream, she murmured that she wanted to build a stage in the mountain realm and drink fish soup. Yu Mo looked at her cute appearance, his heart filled with love, and he couldn't bear to wake her up, so he quietly stayed by her side, fanning her.

Lin Lang, the daughter of the three-tailed snow fox tribe leader, brought her younger brother Zi Yan to pay respects to Yu Mo, taking the initiative to ask to marry Yu Mo, only asking Yu Mo to help her brother unlock the curse poison in his body.

Zi Lin explained that Yu Mo already had many wives and concubines, suggesting that Lin Lang marry him, but Lin Lang flatly refused, even asking Yu Mo to dismiss those wives and concubines and keep only her. Zi Lin didn't want to lose the noble three-tailed snow fox tribe and persuaded Yu Mo to keep Lin Lang and her younger brother. Yu Mo sent Yan Dan to deal with Lin Lang.

Yan Dan advised Lin Lang to seek help from others, deliberately revealing the scars on her body, implying that it was all done by Yu Mo. Lin Lang came to Yu Mo at night, and from afar she heard Yan Dan's wailing. Yu Mo was whipping her, and Lin Lang was so frightened that she hurried away. As soon as Tangzhou went down the mountain, he encountered a spider demon causing trouble. He subdued her effortlessly.

The spider demon was willing to give her demon core to Tangzhou, taking the opportunity to attack him, but Tangzhou subdued her on the spot. Lin Lang begged Yan Dan to save Zi Yan, promising to take her out of the sea of suffering. Yan Dan removed the curse poison from Zi Yan's body, and Lin Lang was extremely grateful to her, asking Yan Dan to be Zi Yan's wife, but Yan Dan flatly refused. Yu Mo came when he heard the news, clearly stating that Yan Dan was his wife. Lin Lang was ashamed and angry, and she attacked Yu Mo.

Episode 22 Recap

Lin Lang was no match for Yu Mo and was quickly defeated. Zi Lin hurried to help her, and Lin Lang realized that this was a carefully designed plan by Yan Dan and Yu Mo to make her give up. Zi Lin took the opportunity to persuade Lin Lang to marry him, but Lin Lang was unwilling. She wanted to thank Yan Dan for saving her life, but Yu Mo quickly made an excuse to pull Yan Dan away.

Lin Lang came to bathe Yan Dan, who was so frightened that she tried to avoid her. Zi Lin and Yu Mo arrived in time to defuse the situation. Yan Dan repeatedly explained that when she first came here, she was just a flower demon with blue spots all over her face, and it was thanks to Yu Mo using the Emerald Pill to heal her.

Yu Mo declared his unwavering loyalty to Yan Dan and even asked Zi Lin to cooperate with them, so Lin Lang had no choice but to give up. Tangzhou was subduing demons and monsters all the way when he was suddenly attacked by masked men. Although he tried his best to resist, his opponents were very powerful, and he was seriously injured.

Lu Ming sensed that Tangzhou was in danger, so he transformed into a handsome young man and came to the mortal realm, where he found Tangzhou covered in wounds. His immortal robes were broken, causing his immortal power to overflow. He helped Tangzhou control his immortal power, but he didn't have enough immortal power to repair Tangzhou's immortal robes. Lu Ming took out the petals that Yan Dan had given him to repair the immortal robes.

Tangzhou gradually woke up, and Lu Ming revealed his true identity as Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan of the Heavenly Realm. Before descending to the mortal realm, his immortal power was locked inside his immortal robes. Now, someone had damaged his immortal robes, wanting the overflowing immortal power to completely destroy him. Not only would Ying Yuan be unable to return to the immortal ranks, but he would also be reduced to ashes, his body and spirit destroyed.

Tangzhou was skeptical, not understanding why Lu Ming would help him. Lu Ming revealed that he was entrusted by someone. Lu Ming temporarily helped Tangzhou control his immortal power, reminding him to find the Four Great Divine Artifacts scattered in the mortal realm as soon as possible in order to completely repair his immortal robes. Zhi Xi saw a shooting star flash across the sky during the day, worrying that Ying Yuan was in danger.

Lu Ming reported Ying Yuan's situation to the Supreme Majesty, believing that Ying Yuan was doomed to die. The Supreme Majesty led the immortals to hold a funeral for Ying Yuan. Yu Mo was in seclusion in the hot spring, cultivating. Yan Dan injected spiritual energy into the hot spring water to help Yu Mo recover as soon as possible.

Yan Dan inadvertently saw many scars on Yu Mo's arm, complaining that Yu Mo didn't use the Emerald Pill to remove the scars, but instead helped her remove the blue spots. Yan Dan was very grateful and promised to find a way to help Yu Mo remove the scars. Zi Lin rushed to report to Yu Mo that a rebellion had occurred in the fox tribe and that Lin Lang's father had been imprisoned.

Yu Mo immediately decided to send the wolf tribe and feather tribe to rescue him, leaving the water tribe to protect the mountain realm, especially reminding Zi Lin to protect Zi Yan, the descendant of the fox tribe. Yu Mo wanted to change clothes to rescue him, but Yan Dan advised him to soak for another half an hour, otherwise his efforts would be in vain.

However, Yu Mo was anxious to save people, so Yan Dan told him to soak for a while while the tribes were gathering. Zi Teng went down the mountain to play and used her demon magic to steal buns from a street stall. Tangzhou saw this scene and followed Zi Teng up the mountain all the way, finding the Flower Spirit Tribe's lair, Flower Hidden Mountain, threatening to wipe out all the little demons of the Flower Spirit Tribe.

The Flower Spirit Tribe's little demons came to Yu Mo for help. Yan Dan learned of this and went to settle the score with the demon hunter Tangzhou. Yan Dan went down the mountain to Flower Hidden Mountain without permission and ran into the tribe leader being chased by Tangzhou. Yan Dan and the tribe leader designed to lure Tangzhou into a trap.

Tangzhou looked at Yan Dan's back, feeling that she looked very much like the woman in his dream. Tangzhou saw that Yan Dan was a flower demon, but he still went along with the plan and rescued Yan Dan, who was being held hostage by the tribe leader. Yan Dan claimed that she was being held hostage by a male flower spirit.

Tangzhou was going to catch the flower spirit, but Yan Dan desperately pleaded for the little demons of the Flower Spirit Tribe, but Tangzhou didn't buy it. Yan Dan agreed to lead him, deliberately leading him in circles in the mountains, and the tribe leader took the opportunity to transfer all the little demons of the Flower Spirit Tribe to Mount Yalan.

Tangzhou saw through Yan Dan's plot, but he didn't expose her in person and just followed her in circles in the mountains. Yan Dan slipped and fell to the ground, asking Tangzhou to massage her. Yu Mo personally led the team to the territory of the three-tailed snow fox, and they went separately to capture the traitor Xue Tu. Zi Lin and Lin Lang searched everywhere in the forest and finally found the fox tribe leader hanging up.

Lin Lang rescued her father, and Zi Lin used all his spiritual power to save the tribe leader. The tribe leader found that Zi Lin was vulnerable and suspected his identity as the mountain lord. Lin Lang desperately defended Zi Lin. Yu Mo subdued Xue Tu and sent a signal to Zi Lin. Zi Lin took the initiative to carry the tribe leader back.

The tribe leader suspected that Zi Lin had ulterior motives for Lin Lang, and Lin Lang desperately said good things for Zi Lin. It gradually got dark, and Yan Dan suggested catching demons tomorrow and asked Tangzhou to carry her on the road. Tangzhou had no choice but to do so. The Flower Spirit Tribe leader brought the little demons to Mount Yalan and sent a signal to Yan Dan.

Yan Dan was overjoyed when she learned that they had successfully escaped. The spider demon brought people to seek revenge on Tangzhou. They surrounded Tangzhou. Yan Dan took out lotus petals to heal Tangzhou, and then ran away. Zi Lin gave Lin Lang a handmade butterfly lamp. Lin Lang politely declined. When the two were pulling and tugging, they accidentally broke the butterfly lamp. The butterflies inside flew out and fluttered around them, and Lin Lang cheered happily.

Yan Dan returned to the mountain realm and took the initiative to bury herself to apologize. Yu Mo no longer pursued the matter, reminding her not to do it again. Yan Dan took the initiative to cook for Yu Mo to apologize.

Episode 23 Recap

Yu Mo not only didn't blame Yan Dan, but also asked about her well-being, telling her to rest properly before cooking. Yan Dan felt warm inside, feeling that Yu Mo seemed familiar, but couldn't remember where she had met him. Yu Mo found it inconvenient to explain clearly. Yan Dan immediately knelt down and expressed her loyalty to Yu Mo. Yu Mo agreed to accompany her to roam the mortal realm.

Yan Dan was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, wanting to write a grand play that would move heaven and earth. Early in the morning, Yan Dan went to pick flower dew to make tea for Yu Mo. Seeing the fisherwomen fishing by the river and drying their nets, she felt envious. The local bully, Master Zhou, suddenly brought people to the river and harassed the fisherwomen in every possible way.

Yan Dan couldn't stand it, so she主动勾引 (deliberately seduced) the bully. Master Zhou ordered them all to be taken home. Yan Dan took advantage of his inattention and left a lotus petal by the river. Tangzhou arrived later and detected a foul demonic energy by the river, concluding that there was someone bullying men and women. He immediately went to investigate. Master Zhou told Yan Dan that if she served him well, she would enjoy endless wealth and glory.

Yan Dan used demon magic to punish Master Zhou and let the fisherwomen go home. Yan Dan discovered that Master Zhou was a toad. She knew her demonic power was not enough, so she pretended to surrender to Master Zhou, promising to offer her demon core. Master Zhou believed her and shook hands with her, making peace. Yu Mo arrived in time to save Yan Dan.

Yan Dan had already guessed that he would come and asked him to punish Master Zhou. Yu Mo effortlessly struck Master Zhou back into his original form. Yan Dan was overjoyed. Yu Mo blamed her for not using a charming beauty trap on Master Zhou. Yan Dan repeatedly explained that she had no choice. Yu Mo held a grudge in his heart. Yan Dan specifically bought white jade cakes to please Yu Mo.

On the way, she saw two rascals bullying an old woman. Yan Dan used demon magic to make them slap each other, and she hid aside to watch the fun. Tangzhou passed by, detected a heavy demonic energy, and saw Yan Dan at a glance. He used the Millennial Demon Subjugation Array to trap Yan Dan in place. Yan Dan lied, claiming she had found silver, and tricked the two rascals into approaching the array.

As long as a mortal entered the array, the array would be instantly broken. Yan Dan took the opportunity to slip away. Tangzhou chased Yan Dan relentlessly. Yan Dan had nowhere to escape, so she had to disguise herself as a little boy and hide by the roadside setting up a stall. As a result, Tangzhou saw through her at a glance. Tangzhou trapped her again with an Immobilization Talisman.

Yan Dan repeatedly explained that she was doing righteous deeds, begging Tangzhou to give her a break. Tangzhou didn't buy it at all and put her into a small gourd. Yan Dan pleaded bitterly with Tangzhou to let her go. Tangzhou threatened to refine her into a pill. Yan Dan had a grudge with Tangzhou before. She knew that this time she couldn't escape the calamity, and was so anxious that she beat her chest and stamped her feet.

Yu Mo came to look for Yan Dan and saw a letter left on the table. Yan Dan had gone to buy a late-night snack for Yu Mo. Yu Mo waited in the room. He waited until dawn and still didn't see Yan Dan return. Yu Mo realized that the situation was not good and rushed to the pastry shop in town to inquire. This was a shop that could gather information.

As long as a customer bought a plate of pastries and wrote what they wanted to ask on paper, they would quickly get an answer. Yu Mo came to the pastry shop. There was only one plate of pastries left in the shop. Tangzhou also came here to inquire about news. Yan Dan heard Yu Mo's voice and anxiously called for help. Only Tangzhou could hear her shouts. Tangzhou advised Yan Dan to give up early.

Yu Mo found out that Yan Dan had bought pastries from here and left in a hurry. Zi Lin asked Bai Ling to invite Lin Lang to the riverside. Lin Lang arrived on time for the appointment. Zi Lin gave her a beggar's chicken. Lin Lang couldn't stop after taking a bite. She ate the entire chicken in one go. Zi Lin offered to use millennial silt for Lin Lang's beauty treatment.

Lin Lang flatly refused and chased Zi Lin, wanting to smear it on his face. She accidentally slipped and fell to the ground. Zi Lin helped Lin Lang up. A basket of fish suddenly fell from the tree. Lin Lang guessed that since Yu Mo's true form was a fish, he didn't allow eating fish or shrimp, so Zi Lin was secretly eating. She couldn't help but tease him. Zi Lin asked Lin Lang to keep this matter a secret.

Bai Ling received Yu Mo's message asking for help and immediately came to report to Zi Lin, asking Zi Lin to help find Yan Dan. Yan Dan was locked in the gourd. After much consideration, she decided to temporarily endure and wait for Yu Mo to save her, and then write this experience into a grand play to be passed down through the ages.

Tangzhou decided that the next stop would be the Empress's Tomb in Qing Shi Town to find an artifact to repair his immortal robes. With nothing to do, he chatted with Yan Dan. Yan Dan desperately tried to please him. Tangzhou felt that Yan Dan was cunning, eloquent, and definitely not a good person. Yan Dan desperately defended herself and also argued for the kind little demons. Tangzhou didn't believe her at all.

He had been deceived by little demons before and was determined to subdue all demons and monsters. Yu Mo led Zi Lin, Lin Lang, and Bai Ling all the way to the town. They found traces of the Millennial Demon Subjugation Array used by the demon hunter and worried that Yan Dan was in danger. Yu Mo asked Bai Ling to send the wolf tribe to Lingxiao Sect to search for Yan Dan's whereabouts. Tangzhou was taking a bath.

Yan Dan desperately begged Tangzhou to let her out, promising to help Tangzhou. Tangzhou had no choice but to let her out. Yan Dan saw Tangzhou bathing and scolded him for being a pervert, quickly covering her face with her hands. Tangzhou put her back into the gourd in anger. That night, two thieves quietly came to Tangzhou's room and drugged him with knockout drops, wanting to kill him to silence him.

They found the small gourd very exquisite and wanted to steal it to sell for money. They opened the small gourd, and Yan Dan took the opportunity to come out. The two of them were so scared that they ran away in panic. Tangzhou was still half asleep. Yan Dan wanted to sneak attack him, but Tangzhou suddenly woke up.

Yan Dan vividly recounted her heroic act of driving away the thieves, begging Tangzhou not to put her back in the gourd again. Tangzhou reluctantly agreed. Early in the morning, Tangzhou brought Yan Dan to the town. Yan Dan heard that there was an Empress's Tomb in Qing Shi Town. Back then, the ruler fled to Qing Shi Town with his concubine and gold and silver treasures.

They were at their wit's end, so the ruler killed the concubine and built a mausoleum, making the concubine become a vengeful spirit to guard the gold and silver treasures. Yan Dan originally wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but she also wanted to write the story of the concubine into a play, so she decided to accompany Tangzhou to the Empress's Tomb. Yan Dan and Tangzhou found the Empress's Tomb.

The three brothers Qi Hu, Qi Niu, and Qi Bao had been waiting for a long time. The martial arts heroes Jin Hongmian and Qin Mingyang also came after hearing about it. Because the Empress's Tomb had heavy Yin energy, everyone entering the tomb had to go together. The seven of them agreed to enter the tomb together.

Episode 24 Recap

The tombstone of the Empress's Tomb was covered with thick dust. Yan Dan wiped it clean little by little with her hand. Carved on the tombstone were the words "Those who disturb my mound will be executed." Below that were a few lines of small text---"Life is the gate of death, death is where life resides. The tomb gate leads to the Gates of Hell. Those who disturb my dream will return without bones."

Yan Dan was so scared she hesitated to move forward. Qin Mingyang thought this was a trick to scare people, so he took the lead and entered the tomb. The others followed closely behind. The tomb was filled with eerie Yin energy. Yan Dan walked at the back. She was so scared that she tightly held onto Tangzhou's arm and didn't let go. Tangzhou couldn't help but tease her.

The three Qi brothers cheered Yan Dan on, and only then did Yan Dan nervously follow them inside. The group of seven arrived at the deepest part of the tomb. There was a different scene inside, with several carved stone attendant statues guarding the tomb. They were lifelike. Qi Niu couldn't help but stop and look. Qi Niu suddenly went mad as if enchanted. He swung his sword to stab Qi Hu and Qi Bao.

The three brothers fought among themselves. Jin Hongmian and Qin Mingyang also started fighting fiercely. Yan Dan screamed loudly in fright. Tangzhou discovered a powerful extremely Yin and evil energy in the tomb. The attendant statues were arranged in a formation. He told Yan Dan to stay put and hurried forward to investigate. Jin Hongmian pressed closer and closer to Tangzhou. Tangzhou fought back desperately. Jin Hongmian's eyes suddenly emitted dazzling red light. Tangzhou couldn't dodge in time.

Jin Hongmian suddenly transformed into the appearance of the noble Consort. She declared she would kill everyone who entered the tomb. With a gentle wave of her sleeve, she created four identical noble Consorts. Tangzhou saw Jin Hongmian transform into the tomb owner, the noble Consort, and pointed out to her face that she should hate the ruler who killed her. The noble Consort forbade anyone from touching her treasures, otherwise, they would be killed without question.

Yan Dan worried Tangzhou would be enchanted and immediately covered his eyes, not letting him look at the statues anymore. Tangzhou saw that the attendant statues were arranged in the Illusion Soul Array. Those caught in it lose their senses and are trapped until death. This array confuses people's minds, but it has no effect on demons, which is why Yan Dan wasn't affected. Tangzhou thanked Yan Dan for stepping in to save him.

Yan Dan originally wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but she couldn't bear to, and in the end, she stayed to save Tangzhou. Yan Dan discovered that Qi Niu started going crazy after looking at the statues' eyes, which is why she timely covered Tangzhou's eyes. Tangzhou worried about being trapped again and wanted to quickly take Yan Dan out, only then did he discover that everyone else had disappeared. Those statues were constantly changing positions.

Yan Dan noticed the tomb was round, so she told Tangzhou to close his eyes. She pulled Tangzhou around the statues to exit the Illusion Soul Array. Tangzhou and Yan Dan carefully looked for an exit. Qin Mingyang suddenly jumped out, disheveled. He was disfigured by the magic of the Illusion Soul Array. Tangzhou knew he would die soon and wanted to give him a quick end. Yan Dan couldn't bear it.

She quickly stopped Tangzhou and knocked Qin Mingyang unconscious. Yan Dan and Tangzhou continued to walk forward. Before them was a large wall. On the wall was a portrait of the noble Consort. Yan Dan worried Tangzhou would be enchanted again and quickly covered his eyes. Tangzhou discovered that behind the noble Consort's portrait was the long-standing Bagua formation. Qin Mingyang suddenly jumped out and pressed the Bagua formation's switch. Yan Dan and Tangzhou both fell into the trap.

Yan Dan tried to get up. Countless bats flew past them. Yan Dan saw the bats were still alive. She inferred that a gate of life could be found here. Yan Dan and Tangzhou quickly found the tomb's gate of life. Yan Dan was instead grateful for Qin Mingyang's greed. If he hadn't wanted to keep the treasure for himself and opened the Bagua formation, they wouldn't have been able to find the gate of life. Tangzhou was deeply moved.

He felt that the human heart in this world was unpredictable, and different from what he had imagined. Yan Dan heard Qin Mingyang's scream and felt he deserved to die. Yan Dan told Tangzhou to go save the others. Tangzhou wanted to put her back in the gourd and take her with him. Yan Dan strongly protested. So Tangzhou took her hand and went back to save people. They saw Qin Mingyang lying on the ground, dying.

He claimed someone had stolen his lifespan. Tangzhou suspected it was the Seven Luminaries Golden Seal, so he inquired about the artifact that person used. Qin Mingyang died before he could speak. Tangzhou worried about being attacked by that person and immediately left with Yan Dan. --- Yu Mo came to the coast of the East Sea. He wanted to find the demon hunter Yu Heng here to inquire about Yan Dan's whereabouts.

Yu Heng was the most powerful demon hunter in the mortal realm. Zi Lin desperately advised Yu Mo not to take the risk, worried he might encounter Ao Xuan. Yu Mo didn't listen at all. Yu Heng was refining pills for Ao Xuan. Yu Mo grabbed the pills from the refining furnace without a word of explanation. Yu Heng tried desperately to stop him, and the two of them fought fiercely. Yu Heng was injured due to lack of strength.

Yu Mo discovered Yan Dan wasn't in the pills. He destroyed the refining furnace on the spot and swaggered away. Tangzhou and Yan Dan eventually made their way out of the Empress's Tomb. Yan Dan was completely puzzled. She couldn't understand the events that happened today. Tangzhou thought the noble Consort's vengeful spirit was formed by the formation. There was no treasure in the tomb. He suspected someone was playing tricks.

Miss Shen Xiangjun from the Shen family was talking nonsense in front of the Empress's Tomb. Her old maid followed close behind. She repeatedly explained that Shen Xiangjun had been acting crazy lately, and begged Tangzhou to go to their mansion to catch a demon. Yan Dan agreed without hesitation. Ao Xuan was accompanying Chao Lan for a stroll. Yu Heng came to report to Ao Xuan about the destroyed refining room.

Ao Xuan inquired about the demon's appearance and characteristics, guessing it was Yu Mo. He ordered Yu Heng to find Yu Mo at all costs. Chao Lan saw Yu Heng's back from afar. Her heart filled with doubt. Tangzhou took Yan Dan to the Shen mansion. Master Shen briefly introduced Shen Xiangjun's situation. When he learned Tangzhou was a demon hunter from Lingxiao Sect, he wanted to marry Shen Xiangjun to Tangzhou.

Tangzhou lied, claiming he and Yan Dan were already secretly engaged. Yan Dan didn't expose his lie either. Master Shen had no choice but to give up, and asked Tangzhou to stay and catch the demon in the mansion. Tangzhou and Yan Dan shared a room. Tangzhou made her sleep on the floor. Yan Dan was very dissatisfied. Tangzhou used her to fend off marriage proposals, and now he also made her sleep on the floor.

He used the excuse that she would sleepwalk if she caught a cold. Tangzhou didn't buy it at all. Yan Dan had no choice but to sleep. In the middle of the night, Yan Dan heard a woman crying outside. She quickly came over to call Tangzhou. Tangzhou dreamed of a woman asking him for half of his heart. He woke up to find Yan Dan on top of him.

He broke out in a cold sweat, suspecting Yan Dan had used demon magic on him. Yan Dan went out and saw someone faking things with phosphorescent fire. And called Tangzhou out. A masked figure in black suddenly jumped out to ambush them. Yan Dan and Tangzhou teamed up to deal with him. The masked figure pressed closer and closer to Yan Dan. Tangzhou stepped in to save her and drove the masked figure away.

Yan Dan placed her hand on Tangzhou's chest, wanting to see if the masked figure had injured his heart meridian. Tangzhou remembered the woman from his dream who asked him for half of his heart, and he felt very disoriented. Yan Dan and Tangzhou were just about to return to the room when they suddenly saw Master Shen sleepwalking in the backyard, burying flowers and bones, and muttering the name of his deceased wife, Xiaoyi.

Yan Dan found it very exciting. She took out a lotus petal and gave it to Tangzhou to protect him. Tangzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still accepted it. Ao Xuan sent the East Sea's shrimp soldiers and crab generals to chase Yu Mo. They wanted to use the Dragon Capturing Lock to trap Yu Mo. Yu Mo easily escaped and drove them all away.

Yan Dan and Tangzhou came to find Master Shen early in the morning to inquire about last night's events. Master Shen had to admit that he was burying the bones of his deceased wife Xiaoyi last night. He accidentally discovered that his daughter Shen Xiangjun was possessed by an evil spirit and was using demon magic to harm people by the well. He begged Tangzhou to exorcise Shen Xiangjun. Tangzhou and Yan Dan came to the well.

Yan Dan saw the well was empty. Tangzhou found two bodies buried in the nearby grass. One of them was Jin Hongmian. Overnight, her body had decayed into a pile of white bones. Tangzhou determined this was caused by evil magic.

Episode 25 Recap

Tangzhou discovered that besides the people who went into the tomb with them, the other corpses were all strong men, and they hadn't been dead for long. If a large number of strong laborers disappeared in Green Stone Town in a short period of time, it would definitely cause a sensation. Tangzhou felt that they were all related to the Empress's Tomb. Yan Dan agreed. She analyzed that the Empress's Tomb was a complete trap.

There were no treasures inside at all, just batches of treasure hunters going to their deaths. Yan Dan also noticed that after she and Tangzhou arrived at the Shen mansion, all the clues came too easily, and they all came from Master Shen's mouth. Tangzhou wanted to meet Shen Xiangjun in person. Tangzhou and Yan Dan saw Shen Xiangjun seriously kneading clay figures from a distance.

Yan Dan determined that Shen Xiangjun was pretending to be crazy, so she pretended to be jealous and chased after Tangzhou, who had transferred his affections. Tangzhou had no choice but to cooperate with her acting. Yan Dan deliberately pointed a broom at Shen Xiangjun, and Shen Xiangjun quickly dodged. Yan Dan found that she was agile, which further confirmed that she was faking her madness. Shen Xiangjun guessed Tangzhou and Yan Dan's intentions.

She was worried that if Hu Sao came back and saw them, it would cause trouble, so she asked Tangzhou and Yan Dan to go to her room at night, promising to tell them the truth. Yan Dan and Tangzhou came to find Shen Xiangjun on time. Shen Xiangjun tearfully recounted her experience. When Shen Xiangjun was very young, she witnessed her father kill her mother. She was afraid of being killed, so she had to pretend to be crazy.

Her father also spread rumors about the Empress's Tomb everywhere, using the trap to kill many people. Her father also sent Hu Sao to watch her, so Shen Xiangjun had to pretend to be psychic and run to the Empress's Tomb to warn those treasure hunters. Yan Dan found the phrase "collecting bones for burial" that Master Shen mentioned very familiar. She had seen it in "Strange Stories of the Odd Tribe."

It was a secret technique of the Duo Xi tribe that was not passed down, and it had always been guarded by the sacred maiden. More than ten years ago, the last sacred maiden eloped with someone, and since then, the Duo Xi tribe had disappeared. Shen Xiangjun admitted that her mother was the last sacred maiden. Her father killed her mother for the secret techniques of the tribe, and her father had been practicing them for many years.

Ordinary practitioners couldn't deal with him. Shen Xiangjun begged Tangzhou and Yan Dan to save her. Yan Dan and Tangzhou returned to the room. Yan Dan went through everything from the beginning. Master Shen's fear of Shen Xiangjun didn't seem fake, and Shen Xiangjun's tears were also sincere. The only person who could testify was Madam Shen, but she had already turned into white bones. Yan Dan couldn't guess who the murderer was.

Tangzhou wanted to wait and see, waiting for the murderer to reveal his own tricks. Early the next morning, Yan Dan saw Hu Sao sneakingly carrying a large package of things to the backyard. She threw the package into the well and left in a hurry. Yan Dan quietly went over to see what was going on, but unexpectedly, she was pushed into the well by Hu Sao, and Hu Sao even covered the well.

At the same time, Shen Xiangjun came to Tangzhou in a hurry to ask for help. Tangzhou quickly stepped forward to help her, but he was knocked unconscious by Shen Xiangjun's secret technique. Shen Xiangjun couldn't bear to turn the handsome and elegant Tangzhou into a pile of withered bones. She forced Tangzhou to choose between Yan Dan and her. Tangzhou refused to give in even if it meant death.

Shen Xiangjun ruthlessly attacked him, but fortunately, Yan Dan arrived in time to save him. It turned out that not long after Hu Sao left, Yan Dan came out of the well. She followed Hu Sao all the way and found that Master Shen was being held captive. She also found a painting of an outing that Master Shen had painted in the attic. The painting showed Master Shen with Shen Yijun and Shen Xiangjun.

Shen Yijun's face was blacked out. Yan Dan exposed Shen Xiangjun on the spot as Shen Yijun's younger sister. She fell in love with Master Shen and killed her sister Shen Yijun out of jealousy and hatred. Yan Dan made up a story, claiming that Master Shen asked her to kill Shen Xiangjun, and then he would agree to be with her. Shen Xiangjun became angry and pressed closer and closer to Yan Dan.

Tangzhou stepped in to stop her in time, so she had to go to Master Shen to settle the score. Yan Dan and Tangzhou then came over. Shen Xiangjun wanted to kill Master Shen, not allowing them to get close to him. Shen Xiangjun rebuked Master Shen for betraying Shen Yijun's true feelings. Shen Yijun abandoned her tribe and eloped with him, even giving up the opportunity for eternal life, and was finally killed by Master Shen.

Master Shen claimed that he was forced by Shen Xiangjun. Shen Xiangjun stole the Seven Luminaries Golden Seal, drained the blood essence of the entire tribe, and then greatly increased her cultivation. Shen Xiangjun caught up with him and Shen Yijun, forcing him to kill Shen Yijun before she would let it go. Yan Dan was shocked to learn the truth. She originally thought Master Shen was pitiful, but she didn't expect that he wasn't innocent either.

Shen Xiangjun was heartbroken. Master Shen once swore that he only loved her, but now he fell in love with Yan Dan again. Yan Dan reminded Shen Xiangjun to give up as soon as possible. Master Shen would not fall in love with a cruel and merciless woman like her. Master Shen begged Shen Xiangjun to let him go, vowing to only love her from now on, and advised Shen Xiangjun not to listen to Yan Dan's provocation.

They just wanted to trick her out of the Seven Luminaries Golden Seal. Shen Xiangjun believed it and ruthlessly attacked Tangzhou and Yan Dan. Tangzhou blocked Yan Dan and subdued Shen Xiangjun on the spot. Master Shen originally wanted to slip away in the chaos, but Shen Xiangjun reached out and killed him, and Tangzhou stabbed Shen Xiangjun to death from behind. Tangzhou was very emotional, feeling that human greed was more terrible than demons.

Tangzhou finally got the Seven Luminaries Golden Seal, and his immortal garment was restored. Tangzhou gave Yan Dan the Bu Li Bracelet, forbidding her from leaving him more than three steps away. Yan Dan begged Tangzhou to change the number of steps, but Tangzhou refused to budge and punished her to transcribe the Heart Sutra. Yan Dan was forced to agree.

That night, Yan Dan saw that Tangzhou was already asleep and wanted to steal the Seven Luminaries Golden Seal, but she discovered a large scar on Tangzhou's chest. Tangzhou suddenly stood behind her in spirit form, and Yan Dan was frightened and panicked. Tangzhou explained that his soul was unstable due to his injuries, and his soul would occasionally leave his body at night.

Only by finding the Four Divine Artifacts could he become his true self again, and he also shouldered the important task of the Lingxiao Sect. Yan Dan advised Tangzhou not to bear such great pressure, and took the opportunity to ask Tangzhou to let her go, but Tangzhou felt that it was not yet time. Three days later was the Sovereign Lord's birthday.

Tangzhou took Yan Dan back to the Lingxiao Sect to attend the birthday banquet, and he lied that Yan Dan was his adopted sister. The Eldest Brother also returned as scheduled. The fellow disciples knew that Tangzhou was not interested in women, and they were curious as to why he would take Yan Dan as his adopted sister. Yan Dan vividly told the story between her and Tangzhou.

She claimed to be the daughter of a wealthy family, and bandits wanted to take her as their own, but fortunately, Tangzhou came to her rescue. Yan Dan came to the kitchen to help. Qin Qi told her about Tangzhou's background. Tangzhou was an orphan since he was a child. He was brought back to the Lingxiao Sect by his master to be raised when he was young.

The two were called master and disciple, but in reality, they were as close as father and son. Later, his master was killed by a demon, and no one in the family was spared. From then on, Tangzhou's temperament changed greatly. He swore in front of his master's spirit to eliminate all demons. Yan Dan finally understood why Tangzhou had such a big prejudice against demons.

The Eldest Brother revealed that the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect were allowed to marry, but only the Sovereign Lord had to cut off love and desire. Tangzhou came to the kitchen to find Yan Dan and saw Yan Dan chatting enthusiastically with the Eldest Brother. He coughed loudly to interrupt them. Yan Dan was furious, accusing Tangzhou of being cold and unfeeling. The Eldest Brother specially fished and cooked it for Yan Dan.

When Yan Dan saw the fish, she thought of Yu Mo, because Yu Mo's true form was a fish. She had stopped eating fish a long time ago. Tangzhou suspected that she was making excuses to run away again, so he warned her.

Episode 26 Recap

The Eldest Brother came looking for Tangzhou under the pretext of discussing matters, but actually wanted to see Yan Dan. Seeing that she hadn't touched the fish he made, he thought Yan Dan didn't like fish and offered to take Yan Dan to the river to catch crabs. Yan Dan was naturally overjoyed, but Tangzhou strongly objected. He had arranged homework for Yan Dan to cultivate her character. Yan Dan protested strongly.

The Eldest Brother volunteered to cultivate with Yan Dan, but Tangzhou didn't allow anyone to disturb Yan Dan, insisting she focus on studying. The Eldest Brother had no choice but to give up. It was thundering and raining heavily outside. Yan Dan remembered the ancient books were still drying outside and hurried out to retrieve them. The books were already soaked.

Just as she was about to use her demonic power to dry the books, Tangzhou, worried that the Eldest Brother would discover Yan Dan was a flower demon, quickly intervened to stop her. Yan Dan realized she had almost revealed her secret. She used the excuse that she wanted to help Tangzhou organize the soaked books and declined the Eldest Brother's invitation to catch crabs.

The Eldest Brother left disappointed, reminding Tangzhou not to be troubled by love before he left. Tangzhou repeatedly explained that he and Yan Dan were siblings. Yan Dan accidentally saw her lost Chen Hua Hairpin in Tangzhou's hand. Tangzhou said it was left to him by his master. Only then did Yan Dan realize that the old man who had been chasing her to avenge the fish was Tangzhou's master.

She mistakenly thought the old man had stolen her Chen Hua Hairpin and couldn't help but curse the old man fiercely, threatening to make his actions public. Tangzhou, in a fit of anger, cast a silencing spell on Yan Dan. Yan Dan had to endure it for the time being and obediently helped Tangzhou grind ink. Tangzhou couldn't bear it and gave her the Chen Hua Hairpin.

Yan Dan saw a sleep spell recorded in the ancient books, so she applied it to Tangzhou in the same way. Tangzhou quickly became drowsy and fell asleep. Yan Dan wanted to take the opportunity to get revenge on Tangzhou, but she didn't expect Tangzhou was faking it. Taking her by surprise, he cast a sleep spell on Yan Dan. Yan Dan slept soundly on the table, and Tangzhou took the opportunity to draw two small turtles on her face.

Qin Qi came to ask Tangzhou to stand guard at the Demon Subduing Hall for the night, which was actually just the fellow disciples getting together to eat and drink. Yan Dan woke up groggily and was eager to join, but couldn't speak due to the silencing spell. Tangzhou had no choice but to remove it for her. Qin Qi saw the scribbles on Yan Dan's face and couldn't help but laugh.

Yan Dan took the mirror and discovered the small turtles on her face. She was so angry that she yelled and screamed, threatening to drag Tangzhou down with her. The fellow disciples gathered around the bonfire to drink tea and chat, and they also told some ghost stories. Yan Dan thought they were too childish. Tangzhou asked her to tell one. Yan Dan asked everyone to close their eyes and listen. She vividly told the story of the snake demon.

Tangzhou already knew the outcome. Yan Dan was unconvinced and asked him to tell a ghost story. Halfway through his story, Tangzhou pretended that the dead husband from the story came up to Yan Dan and asked her to help him find where his head had fallen. Yan Dan was so scared she was shaking like a sieve. She turned around and kissed Tangzhou. Yan Dan was flushed with excitement, cursed at Tangzhou, and ran away.

Yu Mo and Zi Lin searched everywhere for Yan Dan's whereabouts. Along the way, they discovered three demon-catching arrays. They went to two of the demon catchers but found no news of Yan Dan. Only the Lingxiao Sect remained. Yu Mo firmly believed that Yan Dan was there. The demons from Yelanshan gathered with Yu Mo. Yu Mo learned that the wolf demon Dan Shu had been captured by a demon catcher.

He told Zi Lin to take the demons back to the mountain, and he would go to the Lingxiao Sect alone to find Yan Dan and Dan Shu. Yu Mo first came to the Demon Subduing Hall, where small demons caught by the Lingxiao Sect disciples were imprisoned. Yu Mo couldn't wait to go in and search for Yan Dan. Ao Xuan arrived shortly after with troops, surrounding Yu Mo.

Ao Xuan threatened Yu Mo by showing his scales, vowing to see him die thoroughly with his own eyes. Yu Mo was slightly distracted, and Ao Xuan used the Soul-Shattering Hook given to him by the East Sea Dragon King to stab Yu Mo. Yu Mo was injured as he couldn't dodge in time. He fought through the pain and finally broke through the encirclement.

Ao Xuan was certain that Yu Mo wouldn't run far and sent people to search thoroughly nearby. Yu Mo was severely injured and had to hide in the grass. Ao Xuan searched for a while but couldn't find him. He worried that if he stayed longer, he would be discovered by the Lingxiao Sect disciples, so he had no choice but to leave disappointed with his men. Chao Lan arrived shortly after and rescued Yu Mo.

Although Ao Xuan destroyed the traces before leaving, the East Sea Dragon King was still worried that his whereabouts would be discovered by the Lingxiao Sect demon catchers. He reminded Ao Xuan to have both courage and strategy. Ao Xuan swore to capture Yu Mo within half a month. The East Sea Dragon King instructed him to kill Yu Mo as soon as possible and not let anyone discover it, so as not to delay the wedding date.

Tangzhou wanted to drink walnut porridge and made Yan Dan shell a small basket of walnuts. He also set up spells in the room. Yan Dan complained bitterly. The Eldest Brother came to see Yan Dan, and Yan Dan poured out her grievances to him. The Eldest Brother took the opportunity to propose marriage to Yan Dan. Yan Dan used the excuse that she needed to calculate their eight characters before deciding.

She also asked the Eldest Brother to help her unlock the spells in the room. Yan Dan came to the Demon Subduing Hall. Upon entering, she saw her imprisoned good friend Dan Shu. Dan Shu warned her to leave quickly, as it was very dangerous there, and Yu Mo was searching for her everywhere with his people. The tiger demon next to her also complained to Yan Dan. Yan Dan was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Ignoring Dan Shu's advice, she insisted on rescuing them. As a result, she accidentally fell into a trap, with arrows firing from all directions. Yan Dan desperately dodged. Thanks to Tangzhou arriving in time to rescue her, Yan Dan avoided being shot by a thousand arrows. She broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but complain that Tangzhou and the demon catchers couldn't distinguish between good and bad.

The Eldest Brother came to ask Yan Dan for her eight characters. Tangzhou disagreed with their marriage. The Eldest Brother told him not to meddle. Tangzhou asked the Eldest Brother to thoroughly investigate the matters at the Demon Subduing Hall and not be blinded by female beauty. The Eldest Brother left in a huff. Tangzhou set the Bu Li Bracelet to ten steps, not allowing Yan Dan to leave him by more than ten steps.

The Eldest Brother became increasingly angry the more he thought about it. He accidentally discovered that Tangzhou's gourd had contained a subdued small demon, but he hadn't reported it. Today was the Sect Leader's birthday. The disciples gathered together. The Sect Leader publicly announced Tangzhou as the successor and scheduled the succession ceremony for three days later. The Eldest Brother publicly exposed Tangzhou for privately releasing a small demon and concealing it.

The Sect Leader pressed Tangzhou hard for the whereabouts of the small demon, even threatening him with the position of Sect Leader. Tangzhou refused to answer. The Sect Leader punished him with confinement and beat him all over. Yan Dan stepped forward to plead for Tangzhou. Tangzhou removed the restriction on the Bu Li Bracelet and forcibly drove her away. Lu Ming transformed into a sword spirit to see Tangzhou.

Tangzhou learned that the two of them had known each other in the Heavenly Realm and took the opportunity to ask about the woman in his dream who demanded half his heart. Lu Ming made various excuses to brush him off, reminded him to quickly repair his immortal garment, and then drifted away.

Episode 27 Recap

Yan Dan specially prepared two bottles of good wine to bid farewell to the Eldest Brother. The Eldest Brother again proposed marriage to her. Yan Dan used the excuse that Tangzhou was confined to decline. She pulled the Eldest Brother to drink and chat merrily. The Eldest Brother couldn't hold his liquor and soon became completely drunk. Yan Dan stole the key to the Demon Subduing Hall from the Eldest Brother. She released Dan Shu and the others.

She asked Dan Shu to go back and tell Yu Mo that if she didn't return after half a month, Yu Mo should come and rescue her. Dan Shu insisted on leaving with her. Yan Dan promised to return before his birthday, only then did Dan Shu leave at ease. Yan Dan asked the tiger demon and others to help save Tangzhou. They readily agreed. Yan Dan came up with a good idea.

She set a fire in the Demon Subduing Hall, making the tiger demon and the others pretend to attack the mountain to give Tangzhou a chance to redeem himself. Yan Dan quietly came to find Tangzhou and explained her plan one by one. Tangzhou told her to inform the Sect Leader to hide first. The tiger demon led his group to attack the mountain and fought fiercely with the demon catchers of the Lingxiao Sect.

The tiger demon wanted to take this opportunity to kill the Eldest Brother for revenge. Thanks to Tangzhou arriving in time to rescue him. Yan Dan discovered that the tiger demon and the others were turning the fake act into reality. She was extremely anxious. The two sides were fighting fiercely, and the situation was temporarily difficult to control. Qin Qi resisted desperately, she was gradually losing. Yan Dan quickly stepped in to save her.

In the chaos, her Chen Hua Hairpin fell to the ground. Tangzhou saw it and picked it up. The tiger demon arrived shortly after. He held Yan Dan hostage. Tangzhou subdued the tiger demon effortlessly. After the unremitting efforts of Tangzhou and Yan Dan, they finally subdued all the tiger demons and the others. The Sect Leader appreciated Tangzhou's meritorious service in subduing demons and forgave him for his past mistakes. The Eldest Brother wanted to report Tangzhou.

Yan Dan quickly interrupted him, lying that she opened Tangzhou's gourd out of curiosity and accidentally let the small demon escape. The Sect Leader believed her and no longer pursued the matter. Tangzhou returned the Chen Hua Hairpin to Yan Dan and personally put it on her head. Yan Dan felt he was different from other demon catchers and repeatedly praised him as a good person. Yan Dan treated Tangzhou as a good friend and asked him for a reward.

Tangzhou didn't play along at all. Moreover, he was not interested in the position of Sect Leader. Yan Dan couldn't help but tease him, suspecting he wanted to get married and have children. Tangzhou tried his best to hide it. Yan Dan wanted to leave the Lingxiao Sect. Tangzhou cast a spell in the room. Yan Dan knew she couldn't leave, so she picked up the pastries on the table and feasted on them, thanking Tangzhou for buying her pastries.

Chao Lan used all her magic power to help Yu Mo heal. Yu Mo finally recovered as before. Chao Lan asked about his time with Yan Dan in the mortal realm. Yu Mo felt happier than in the Heavenly Realm. Chao Lan was very sad, as she would soon marry Ao Xuan. Yu Mo reminded her to be careful of Ao Xuan everywhere.

Chao Lan learned that Yu Mo was going to rescue Yan Dan and wanted to go with him. Yu Mo was worried that Ao Xuan knowing would cause trouble and implicate the South Sea and her father. Chao Lan gave her reverse scale to Yu Mo for self-defense. Yu Mo politely refused. The reverse scale was Chao Lan's most precious treasure. Chao Lan forcefully planted the reverse scale into Yu Mo's body, wishing him an early rescue of Yan Dan.

Tangzhou brought medicinal soup to Yan Dan and personally fed it to her. The Sect Leader passed by and saw this scene, worried that Tangzhou was developing feelings for Yan Dan. Tangzhou repeatedly emphasized that he was not interested in the position of Sect Leader. The Sect Leader had high hopes for him and sent him to the capital to catch demons on behalf of the Lingxiao Sect.

Strange phenomena had recently appeared in the capital, causing panic among the people. The King of Andu posted a notice widely recruiting Heavenly Masters to subdue demons. The Sect Leader sent Tangzhou to catch demons, taking this opportunity to make a name for the Lingxiao Sect.

The Sect Leader personally held the succession ceremony for Tangzhou and gave him a magic ring, reminding him to sever ties of love, cut off affections, and let go of worldly matters from then on. Tangzhou had developed feelings for Yan Dan over time, but he couldn't bear to let down the Sect Leader's expectations. After much deliberation, he accepted it. Yu Mo came to the Lingxiao Sect again and inquired about Yan Dan's whereabouts from the Eldest Brother.

Only then did he learn that she had gone to the capital with Tangzhou. Yu Mo then rushed to the capital. Yu Mo came to an inn to inquire about information. He learned that many demon catchers had arrived in the capital. The King of Andu decreed that all demon masters who took down the royal notice should stay at this inn for rest and enter the palace together tomorrow.

Yu Mo sensed Yan Dan was there through the lotus mark on his wrist. He couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. Tangzhou brought Yan Dan to the palace to investigate. They saw many crows and a large amount of blood. They learned that a large number of women born at midnight had gone missing. Tangzhou suspected this matter was related to the strange phenomena in the palace.

Yan Dan heard that the entire palace was entangled with white flowers and determined that there were demons present. Tangzhou and Yan Dan returned to the inn. As soon as they entered, they saw Yu Mo. Yan Dan was ecstatic and pulled Yu Mo, asking him many questions. Yu Mo showed her concern and care. Yan Dan took the opportunity to say many bad things about Tangzhou.

Yu Mo couldn't wait to take Yan Dan away, planning to settle the score with Tangzhou later. Tangzhou stopped Yu Mo and Yan Dan. He proactively attacked Yu Mo. Yu Mo did not show weakness either. The two refused to back down and fought fiercely. Yan Dan regarded both of them as her support and did not want them to get injured.

She quickly stepped in to dissuade them, admitting that she had exaggerated just now and that Tangzhou was actually quite good to her. Yu Mo was relentless and wanted to have a quick fight with Tangzhou. Yan Dan didn't want to be involved anymore and had to leave first. Yan Dan bought food and wine, wanting to help Yu Mo and Tangzhou resolve their conflict. On the way back, she was discovered by Fairy Yingdeng.

Fairy Yingdeng used a minor trick to knock Yan Dan unconscious. Tangzhou and Yu Mo arrived shortly after and found the wine and pastries scattered on the ground, along with a lotus petal. They both guessed that Yan Dan was in danger and immediately searched everywhere. Fairy Yingdeng took Yan Dan away and talked to herself, saying she wanted to get back the grievances she suffered in the Heavenly Realm from Yan Dan, but it was just her own doing.

By the time Yu Mo and Tangzhou found Yan Dan, she had been forced to reveal her lotus true form. Jiang Chen used Yu Mo's strange eye to save Pei Luo. Pei Luo became the King of Andu as he wished and appointed Jiang Chen as his princess consort. Since their wedding, Pei Luo had ignored Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen had long seen through Pei Luo's ambition.

He pretended to like watching plays and often frequented teahouses and theaters, wanting to use this to mislead others and secure his throne. Just as Jiang Chen decided to leave Pei Luo, Pei Luo suddenly came to find her, desperately trying to please her, and even specially made a theatrical costume for her, asking her to perform a play again. Jiang Chen exposed his plot to his face. Pei Luo tried every means to defend himself.

Jiang Chen hoped he would drop his pretense and that they could treat each other sincerely. Pei Luo specially prepared plum wine. Jiang Chen knew the wine was poisoned, but she still drank it without hesitation. Jiang Chen was forced to reveal her true form. She cursed Pei Luo fiercely. Fairy Yingdeng arrived in a hurry with the guards.

Episode 28 Recap

Yu Mo and Tangzhou went through great trouble to find Yan Dan, but she was poisoned by Fairy Yingdeng and her demon power was destroyed. Yu Mo helped her detoxify, but could not help her regain human form in a short time. Yu Mo wanted to take Yan Dan back to Yelanshan to heal her with hot spring water. Tangzhou firmly disagreed.

He believed that the person who harmed Yan Dan was the mastermind behind the strange phenomena in the palace, and insisted on finding the real culprit. Neither of them was willing to give in. Yan Dan quickly stopped Yu Mo and Tangzhou. She also wanted to see with her own eyes which evil demon was harming the mortal realm, and asked Yu Mo to show the imposing manner of the King of Ten Thousand Demons to catch the demon.

Yan Dan firmly believed that her demon power would recover soon, and she wanted to write this experience into the "Records of the Mortal World". Only then did Yu Mo and Tangzhou give up. The King of Andu sent someone to report that an evil demon had appeared in the palace. Yu Mo and Tangzhou immediately took Yan Dan and rushed to the palace. Fairy Yingdeng ordered the demon masters to surround Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen resisted with all her might, but because she was too deeply poisoned, her strength gradually failed, and she was subdued on the spot. Jiang Chen was dying. She knew she would soon turn to ash and smoke, and admitted that she killed those women. Jiang Chen couldn't help but recall what happened that year. It was a rainy day, Jiang Chen was injured and revealed her Epiphyllum true form.

Pei Luo passed by and held an umbrella for her to shield her from the rain. Pei Luo was buying something on the street when his money bag was stolen. Jiang Chen helped him get it back. The two fell in love at first sight. Jiang Chen thought of all the past events. She was in agony and wanted Pei Luo to hug her.

Just as Pei Luo was about to go over, the demon catchers reminded him to be careful of being harmed by a demon. Pei Luo had no choice but to leave with his people. Jiang Chen instantly turned to ash and smoke. Yu Mo, Tangzhou, and Yan Dan watched Jiang Chen disappear in ash and smoke with their own eyes, and they felt terrible. Yan Dan firmly believed that Jiang Chen would not harm people.

Tangzhou sensed that Jiang Chen no longer had demon power in her body and felt that the real culprit was someone else. Tangzhou noticed that the epiphyllum flowers in the palace were blooming profusely and suspected that a demonic spell had been cast. Yan Dan helped Yu Mo and Tangzhou reconcile, asking them to work together to find the real culprit and clear Jiang Chen's name.

Pei Luo summoned the demon catchers and publicly announced that Jiang Chen was the demon harming the people, and would also declare it to the world. Yu Mo impersonated the Eldest Brother of the Lingxiao Sect, defended Jiang Chen publicly, and pleaded with Pei Luo to find out the real culprit. Pei Luo was half-convinced, half-doubting. Yu Mo found a wooden box in Jiang Chen's room. The wooden box was enchanted and could not be opened.

Pei Luo knew very well that this was the last memento Jiang Chen left for him, and asked Yu Mo and Tangzhou to meet him in the back garden at midnight tonight to discuss it in detail. Tangzhou and Yu Mo arrived at the back garden on time. Pei Luo had set up a tomb with her clothes and hat here for Jiang Chen, and also brought the plum wine that Jiang Chen loved to drink when she was alive.

He claimed repeatedly that he had contracted a strange illness, and Jiang Chen was forced to kill people and make elixirs to treat him. Pei Luo admitted that he had known Jiang Chen was a demon for a long time, and that Jiang Chen had used demonic arts to save him back then. Pei Luo deeply loved Jiang Chen and did not care at all that she was a demon.

Yu Mo used the plum wine to mourn Jiang Chen and discovered that his strange eye was on Pei Luo. Pei Luo was wearing a demon-suppressing object on his waist. If this object was not removed, Yu Mo would not be able to get back his strange eye. Yan Dan was unhappy because of Jiang Chen's death, so Yu Mo entered her demon power and gave her a bottle of flower dew to restore her vitality.

Yu Mo wanted to get back his strange eye as soon as possible to help Yan Dan regain human form, so they could return to Yelanshan together. Yan Dan was convinced that the demon Yu Mo couldn't forget was Jiang Chen, which was why he gave her the precious strange eye. Now that they were separated by life and death, Yan Dan advised Tangzhou not to clash with Yu Mo anymore.

Tangzhou took out a Pure Life Talisman hoping to exorcise the resentful spirits of those epiphyllum flowers, but it was unsuccessful. Palace maids passed by and revealed to Tangzhou that Pei Luo had already invited demon masters a long time ago, but the demons were not afraid at all. Soon after, the moat suddenly flowed with blood, attracting many crows. The epiphyllum flowers in the palace grew more and more, causing the entire palace to be entangled by countless flowers.

Tangzhou did not believe that Jiang Chen could cause chaos publicly. Yu Mo accompanied Pei Luo to watch a play to relax, and while toasting, he carefully observed the demon-suppressing object on his waist. He discovered it was made of thousand-year-old peach wood, with a hidden spiritual array mystery within, making it difficult to remove immediately. Pei Luo wanted to open the wooden box as soon as possible.

Yu Mo wanted to go to Jiang Chen's bedchamber to look for clues. Pei Luo gave him a token that allowed him free entry and exit. Tangzhou arrived shortly after and told Pei Luo about the epiphyllum resentful spirits. Yu Mo mocked Tangzhou coldly, and the two started fighting at the drop of a hat. In fact, Yu Mo deliberately provoked a fight with Tangzhou to eliminate Pei Luo's vigilance.

Yu Mo secretly gave the token to Tangzhou, and the two agreed to work together to investigate the truth. Yan Dan had already seen through their pretense of fighting and volunteered to follow Tangzhou to look for clues. Tangzhou took the token and went to Jiang Chen's bedchamber for investigation, but found nothing unusual. Tangzhou went out and saw a palace maid ordered to throw away a pot of withered flowers.

That was the flower that Jiang Chen and Pei Luo planted together. Yan Dan felt that Pei Luo was too heartless. Fairy Yingdeng was Pei Luo's concubine. She passed by in a palanquin and recognized Tangzhou as Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan at a glance. She proactively tried to get close to him and invited Tangzhou to her palace to catch up. Tangzhou did not refuse. Fairy Yingdeng took out the Ecstasy Dew used by Pei Luo, wanting to use it to drug Tangzhou and steal his divine power.

Episode 29 Recap

Fairy Yingdeng poured a cup of tea for Tangzhou and added aphrodisiac Ecstasy Dew to it. Tangzhou politely declined. Yan Dan reminded Tangzhou to stabilize Fairy Yingdeng first and find a breakthrough from her. Tangzhou took the cup of tea and curiously inquired about the Pure Life Talisman Pei Luo carried with him. Fairy Yingdeng took out the Pure Life Talisman that had just been replaced. Tangzhou smelled a strong wine scent on it.

Fairy Yingdeng explained that Pei Luo replaced it every day. Tangzhou guessed that Pei Luo frequently went to the wine cellar and quickly found an excuse to leave, not drinking the drugged tea. Fairy Yingdeng secretly vowed to settle the score with Yan Dan and Tangzhou sooner or later. Yu Mo asked Pei Luo about the origin of the demon-suppressing object. Pei Luo claimed that a demon catcher customized it for him.

Yu Mo reminded him that peach wood is potent and encountering conflicting items could be counterproductive, offering to examine it for Pei Luo. Unexpectedly, Pei Luo had already resolved the situation and explained it clearly, making Yu Mo suspect he was secretly practicing cultivation techniques. A guard rushed over to report to Pei Luo that a Celestial Master had gone to the concubine's bedchamber. Pei Luo hurried over to see what was happening.

Yu Mo came to a side hall and accidentally opened a secret chamber. Spiritual energy gathered there, and Yu Mo guessed it was where Pei Luo cultivated. There were demon-suppressing talismans in the secret chamber, preventing Yu Mo from entering. He could only wait for Tangzhou to help unlock it. Tangzhou brought Yan Dan to the wine cellar for investigation. A masked black-clothed person suddenly appeared and attacked Tangzhou fiercely.

Yu Mo arrived in time to help, driving away the black-clothed person. Tangzhou placed a tracking talisman on the black-clothed person. Yan Dan found the missing women in the wine vats. Yu Mo found that they were all killed by having their throats cut. Tangzhou concluded that they were not harmed by demons but were killed by people. Yan Dan, upon learning that Tangzhou had placed a tracking talisman on the black-clothed person, urged them both to quickly pursue him.

Tangzhou and Yu Mo pursued the black-clothed person closely and discovered that the person was Pei Luo and that he was secretly practicing cultivation techniques. Pei Luo became furious and attacked Tangzhou by surprise. Tangzhou subdued him effortlessly and snatched the demon-suppressing talisman from his waist. It turned out that Pei Luo did not hesitate to kill people to refine the Elixir of Longevity and even framed Jiang Chen.

Seeing that the Elixir of Longevity was only one step away from being refined, he was unwilling to give up and continued to exert his power to refine the elixir. Yu Mo and Tangzhou joined forces to stop Pei Luo. Yan Dan also helped, completely destroying the elixir furnace. Pei Luo was beaten all over with wounds. Yu Mo exposed his various crimes in front of him. Pei Luo recalled the past events.

He had been long ill and was determined to live forever. Pei Luo desperately begged Jiang Chen for another divine elixir. Jiang Chen firmly refused. Pei Luo, in a fit of pique, decided to take a concubine. Jiang Chen became disheartened with him and agreed to his taking a concubine. Pei Luo married Fairy Yingdeng, who had been banished to the mortal realm, and paid no more attention to Jiang Chen. Yu Mo sternly rebuked Pei Luo for his betrayal.

Jiang Chen had borrowed his strange eye to extend Pei Luo's life and also borrowed twenty years of time from him. Unexpectedly, Pei Luo actually framed Jiang Chen. Yu Mo withdrew his strange eye. Pei Luo instantly aged, his hair turning completely white in an instant. He shed tears of regret, and the tears actually opened the wooden box. Yan Dan finally understood that all Jiang Chen wanted was a drop of Pei Luo's tear.

Inside the wooden box was the marriage contract jointly written by Pei Luo and Jiang Chen. Pei Luo saw the object and thought of the person, filled with regret. On their wedding day, Jiang Chen and Pei Luo jointly wrote the marriage contract, swearing to never leave each other for life. Yan Dan discovered that there was still Jiang Chen's last breath of true energy within the flower, and asked Pei Luo to look at her one last time.

Pei Luo admitted his mistake to Jiang Chen, but it was too late. Jiang Chen transformed into a wisp of green smoke and drifted away. Pei Luo spat out blood and died on the spot. --- Tangzhou determined that Pei Luo was not the one who reverted Yan Dan to her original form. He suspected there were other highly skilled individuals in the palace. Yu Mo wanted to use his strange eye to help Yan Dan regain her human form.

Tangzhou didn't want to cause trouble. They were in the palace to catch demons, and if Yan Dan suddenly appeared, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. Yu Mo had no choice but to give up. Yan Dan suddenly felt that something was wrong. Although the wind had stopped, her petals were still drifting towards the top of the elixir furnace. She suspected there was a powerful magical artifact inside. Tangzhou guessed it was the Lidust artifact.

Tangzhou and Yu Mo brought Yan Dan back to the secret chamber. From a distance, they saw a guard rushing by carrying a sack. Tangzhou quickly rescued Fairy Yingdeng, who was tied up inside. Fairy Yingdeng claimed she was forced to be Pei Luo's concubine and promised to give the Lidust artifact to Tangzhou. Fairy Yingdeng took out the Lidust artifact. Unexpectedly, the Lidust artifact voluntarily flew towards Tangzhou.

Fairy Yingdeng claimed that the Lidust artifact was a treasure of her sect and had never acknowledged a master before, but now it had recognized Tangzhou as its master, indicating a destined connection with Tangzhou. Fairy Yingdeng gave the treasure, the Lidust artifact, to Tangzhou to repay him for saving her life. However, the Lidust artifact had a magical incantation, and if Tangzhou would escort her back to her sect, she would hand over the incantation for controlling the artifact.

Tangzhou readily agreed. Yu Mo wanted to take Yan Dan back to Yelanshan. Tangzhou firmly disagreed. The two refused to yield to each other, and the tension rose. Yan Dan quickly mediated between them. Yu Mo wanted to hear Yan Dan's thoughts, so he used his strange eye to change Yan Dan back into her human form. Yan Dan tested her demon power on the spot and found it was still there. Fairy Yingdeng happened to enter.

She pretended not to recognize Yan Dan. Yan Dan's memory had been erased, and she no longer remembered the grievances between the two sisters and Fairy Yingdeng in the Celestial Realm. Tangzhou wanted to take Yan Dan with him to escort Fairy Yingdeng back to her sect. Yu Mo firmly refused. Yan Dan wanted to travel and experience life to quickly fulfill her promise to Jiang Chen by writing a grand play. She persuaded Yu Mo to accompany her on the journey, and then the two of them would return to Yelanshan. Yu Mo had no choice but to compromise.

Episode 30 Recap

The Spirit Clam Tribe presented a Wind Chasing Bow to the East Sea. Ao Xuan heard this bow was incredibly sharp and swift as lightning, which would greatly aid his pursuit of the Ninefin Yu Mo. He was eager to try it. Chao Lan proactively came to find Ao Xuan and reminded him not to send people to pursue Yu Mo anymore.

Yu Mo only wanted to follow the person he loved and had no interest whatsoever in the position of Lord of the Four Seas. Ao Xuan was instantly enraged and embarrassed. He didn't expect that the first time Chao Lan proactively came to him, it was still for Yu Mo. The two of them had cultivated together for over a hundred years at Xuanyin Cliff, yet Chao Lan surprisingly didn't understand his feelings.

Chao Lan decided to let go of her obsession with Yu Mo, agreed to marry Ao Xuan, and wholeheartedly stay with him to guard the Four Seas. She hoped Ao Xuan would release Yu Mo. Ao Xuan readily agreed. Chao Lan believed him and immediately went back to prepare her wedding dress, waiting for Ao Xuan to marry her.

Ao Xuan claimed to trust Chao Lan verbally, but in private, he sent people to inform his undercover agent in the South Sea to keep a close eye on Chao Lan and the South Sea Dragon King. Then he ordered the continued pursuit of Yu Mo, telling them to kill him without question. Chao Lan tried on her wedding dress. The South Sea Dragon King came to see her and found she was weak.

Chao Lan had to admit she had given away her most precious reverse scale. The South Sea Dragon King repeatedly asked who her beloved was. Chao Lan didn't want to say; she knew deeply that Ao Xuan was ruthless and didn't want to implicate her father and the entire South Sea because of this. She decided to bury this feeling in her heart. The South Sea Dragon King sighed with emotion.

Yu Mo, Yan Dan, and Tangzhou escorted Fairy Yingdeng back to her sect. During a break, Yan Dan casually mentioned that after demons die, they forget their past lives, cross the River of Oblivion, and then reincarnate in the mortal realm. Yu Mo hoped Jiang Chen would become an ordinary Ephemeral flower and live freely in the world. Yan Dan felt that Jiang Chen still wanted to rekindle her relationship with Pei Luo.

Not wanting to see Yu Mo sad, she tried her best to comfort him. Yu Mo knew Yan Dan misunderstood that he liked Jiang Chen, and he couldn't tell her the real reason for lending his strange eye to Jiang Chen. He was afraid Yan Dan would dig for details and find out about her own demotion and memory loss. Yu Mo didn't want to say too much; he only said there was no relationship between him and Jiang Chen.

Yan Dan stopped asking further. Fairy Yingdeng was considerate and took great care of Tangzhou, but Tangzhou didn't respond, treating her as cold as ice. Whenever Yan Dan had time, she wrote screenplays, incorporating the story of Jiang Chen and Pei Luo. Fairy Yingdeng made side dishes according to celestial customs. Yan Dan felt a sense of déjà vu but couldn't remember where she had eaten them before.

Fairy Yingdeng wanted to cook to please Tangzhou and asked Yan Dan about his preferences. Yu Mo challenged Tangzhou to a duel, stating that if he won, he would take Yan Dan away. Tangzhou didn't show weakness either. They set up their stances and began to spar. After several rounds, neither of them gained an advantage. Yan Dan and Fairy Yingdeng hid aside to watch. Tangzhou and Yu Mo began the second round of their duel.

Yan Dan quickly stood out to dissuade them. She asked Yu Mo to help Tangzhou find the Four Great Artifacts and also advised Tangzhou not to bring disciples from the Lingxiao Sect to invade Yelanshan. Yan Dan made them shake hands and make peace, and even established a 'Daily Act of Kindness Squad'. Yan Dan took the opportunity to propose that Tangzhou unlock the Buli Lock. Tangzhou had no choice but to comply.

Yan Dan regained her freedom and cheered joyfully. Fairy Yingdeng felt that Yan Dan and Tangzhou were getting too close, resulting in Yu Mo being neglected. She wanted to take Tangzhou out tomorrow, allowing Yan Dan to spend quality time with Yu Mo and lift his spirits. Yan Dan happily agreed. Early the next morning, Yu Mo received exquisite food and many banners encouraging him. Yu Mo guessed that this was all Yan Dan's doing, and his heart felt warm.

Fairy Yingdeng invited Tangzhou to play a game of unsolved chess. Tangzhou flatly refused, stating that he felt agitated every time he saw a chessboard. He told Fairy Yingdeng the confusion in his heart, mentioning he dreamed of a woman jumping off a bridge and asking him for half a heart. Fairy Yingdeng's heart sank; she didn't expect Tangzhou was still thinking of Yan Dan. Fairy Yingdeng insisted that the woman in the dream was Tangzhou's calamity, not his destiny.

Tangzhou was half-convinced, half-skeptical. Yan Dan called Yu Mo to the woods and also prepared many sky lanterns, telling Yu Mo to write his wishes on them and release them to resolve the melancholy in his heart. Yu Mo wrote down his wish, wondering if he could tell Yan Dan about his past lives. Yan Dan had no worries in her heart, so she didn't write a single word.

She wanted to see Yu Mo's wish, but Yu Mo desperately blocked her and even made up lies to cover it up. Yan Dan lit all the sky lanterns. Yu Mo took her hand and flew up into the sky to watch them. The two of them chatted and laughed, having a great time. Tangzhou saw this scene and immediately ascended into the sky to stop them, using the excuse that it would cause trouble if mortals saw them.

Yan Dan quickly let go. The moment she was slightly distracted, she fell downwards. Tangzhou quickly reached out to pull her, causing the scar on his chest to tear open. Tangzhou felt unbearable pain. Yu Mo timely grabbed Yan Dan's hand, and both of them landed safely. The East Sea Dragon King was critically ill and beyond recovery.

Before his death, the East Sea Dragon King instructed Ao Xuan to marry Chao Lan as soon as possible to firmly control the South Sea. Before Ao Xuan could react, the East Sea Dragon King passed away. A secret agent sent news that the South Sea Dragon King had taken people to find Yu Mo. Ao Xuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and immediately gathered his men to go to the South Sea to marry Chao Lan.

The South Sea Dragon King, Chao Yan, quickly found Yu Mo. He recognized Tangzhou as the Celestial Realm's Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan at first glance and quickly stepped forward to salute. Chao Yan wanted to capture Yu Mo and take him back to marry Chao Lan, because the reverse scale was a betrothal gift of the Dragon race, and Yu Mo had to take responsibility for Chao Lan. Yan Dan agreed to return to Yelanshan to prepare for the wedding.

Yu Mo wanted to go find Chao Lan to explain clearly and asked Yan Dan to accompany him. Tangzhou wanted to go with them. Fairy Yingdeng disagreed and found various excuses to obstruct him, but Tangzhou's mind was made up. Yan Dan decided to first accompany Yu Mo to resolve his romantic calamity, and then they would escort Fairy Yingdeng back to her sect. Yu Mo and his group of four followed Chao Yan back to the South Sea.

Chao Yan was very respectful towards Tangzhou. Yan Dan was curious about Tangzhou's identity, and Fairy Yingdeng randomly found excuses to deflect the questions. As soon as Chao Yan returned to the Dragon Palace, he was controlled by Ao Xuan. Ao Xuan boasted that he would take over the South Sea and also take Chao Lan back to marry her. Chao Yan cursed at Ao Xuan. Tangzhou quickly stepped forward to mediate. Ao Xuan styled himself as the Lord of the Four Seas and forbade Tangzhou from interfering randomly.

Episode 31 Recap

Ao Xuan spoke disrespectfully to Tangzhou. Yan Dan quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, falsely claiming that the four of them were there to congratulate Chao Lan and Ao Xuan on their wedding. Ao Xuan didn't believe it at all. Yu Mo stepped forward to negotiate with Ao Xuan, asking him to release Chao Yan and Chao Lan first. Ao Xuan forced Yu Mo to destroy his own spirit body and kneel for mercy before he would release them.

Yu Mo was greatly angered and wanted to fight Ao Xuan to the death. Ao Xuan gave a command, and the East Sea soldiers swarmed forward, surrounding Yu Mo. Tangzhou and Yu Mo joined forces and knocked them all down. Ao Xuan counterattacked. Tangzhou told Yu Mo to hold him back while he rescued Chao Yan. Yu Mo severely injured Ao Xuan. Ao Xuan took the opportunity to hold Chao Lan hostage.

Before leaving, he left a harsh threat, saying that in three days he would marry Chao Lan, and if Chao Yan didn't deliver Yu Mo's head by then, the South Sea Dragon Tribe would disappear completely. Chao Yan revealed that Yu Mo was a descendant of the Ninefin Tribe, which surprised Yan Dan. Tangzhou gathered Yu Mo, Fairy Yingdeng, and Yan Dan to discuss a strategy.

Fairy Yingdeng was worried that Yu Mo's identity would cause a mutiny within the Four Seas and advised Tangzhou to continue his mortal trials and not get involved in this turmoil. Yu Mo questioned Fairy Yingdeng's identity. She claimed to be a sorcerer from a minor, obscure sect, yet she understood the secrets of the heavenly laws and was aware of the changes in the Four Seas. Yu Mo became suspicious of her identity.

Chao Yan sent someone to invite Yu Mo. Fairy Yingdeng promised that after the South Sea matter was resolved and she returned to her sect, Yu Mo's doubts would be resolved. Yu Mo said he would wait and see. Fairy Yingdeng wanted to use Yan Dan's lotus heart to heal Tangzhou, but she couldn't kill Yan Dan herself, so she thought of finding Ao Xuan to help her.

Chao Yan asked Yu Mo, as a Ninefin descendant, to lead the South Sea, North Sea, and West Sea in rebellion to rescue Chao Lan, kill Ao Xuan, and take his place. Yu Mo flatly refused. The Ninefin Tribe was isolated and helpless during the War of Creation, leading to their complete annihilation. They then elected the East Sea White Dragon Tribe as the leader of the Four Seas.

Chao Yan immediately knelt down and explained the truth to Yu Mo. During the War of Creation, the East Sea White Dragon Tribe not only failed to send reinforcements in time but also relentlessly pursued the Ninefin Tribe when they were exhausted. As a result, the Ninefin Tribe mistakenly fell into an Asura Totem trap and was completely wiped out. The East Sea Dragon King reported this to the Celestial Realm and logically became the leader of the aquatic creatures.

All the evidence was in the East Sea Dragon Palace. Chao Yan persuaded Yu Mo to overthrow Ao Xuan and become the Lord of the Four Seas. Yu Mo weighed the matter carefully and decided to personally seek out the West Sea Dragon King and the Celestial Deity Beiming to discuss the major matter of the uprising. He entrusted Tangzhou with the task of looking after Yan Dan.

Yan Dan worried that Yu Mo might marry a West Sea princess again and wanted to go back to notify Bai Ling to prepare betrothal gifts for Yu Mo. Fairy Yingdeng meticulously prepared mooncakes, hoping to alleviate Tangzhou's pain and repay his life-saving grace. Yan Dan felt a twinge of jealousy. Fairy Yingdeng falsely claimed that she and Tangzhou were a perfect match in the Celestial Realm and had loved each other for a lifetime. Yan Dan believed her.

Fairy Yingdeng gave the mooncakes to Tangzhou, vowing to cure his illness sooner or later. Tangzhou, however, didn't appreciate it and was eager to know where Yan Dan had gone. Fairy Yingdeng lied, saying Yan Dan had gone down the mountain to gather herbs to make pastries for Yu Mo. Tangzhou worried Yan Dan was in danger and rushed to find her.

Fairy Yingdeng felt resentful; she had gone to great lengths to please Tangzhou, but his heart was only with Yan Dan. Yan Dan was gathering herbs in the mountains, and Tangzhou soon found her. Yan Dan lost her footing and fell. Tangzhou bravely rescued Yan Dan, feeling that this scene was exactly the same as the one in his dream. Yan Dan asserted that the woman in Tangzhou's dream was Fairy Yingdeng. Tangzhou felt that was impossible.

Yan Dan collected a bottle full of spiritual energy from the mountains. Tangzhou mistakenly thought she wanted to make mooncakes for Yu Mo. Yan Dan repeatedly explained that she wanted to make pastries to enhance the cultivation of the South Sea soldiers. Instead, she advised Tangzhou not to betray Fairy Yingdeng's sincere feelings. Tangzhou strongly denied any relationship with Fairy Yingdeng and forbade Yan Dan from making wild guesses.

Chao Yan accompanied Yu Mo to meet the West Sea Dragon King. The West Sea Dragon King agreed to send troops to support Yu Mo. Yu Mo wanted to persuade the Celestial Deity Beiming. The Celestial Deity Beiming was newly appointed and had a peculiar personality. Chao Yan worried he wouldn't agree. When Yu Mo saw the portrait of the Celestial Deity Beiming, he recognized him as Lu Ming at first glance and immediately wrote him a letter.

Ao Xuan sent someone to deliver medicine to Chao Lan. Chao Lan refused to drink it. Ao Xuan flew into a rage at his subordinates. Chao Lan forbade Ao Xuan from harming Yu Mo and Chao Yan, even threatening to commit suicide. Ao Xuan was furious. Fairy Yingdeng personally visited Ao Xuan. Ao Xuan declared that even if he couldn't win Chao Lan's heart, he wouldn't allow her to leave the East Sea for even half a step.

Ao Xuan came to see Fairy Yingdeng. Fairy Yingdeng wanted to join forces with him to eliminate Yu Mo and revealed that Yu Mo had gone to the West Sea and North Sea to persuade them to rebel and overthrow Ao Xuan. Ao Xuan considered it carefully and decided to ally with her. Fairy Yingdeng promised to report Yu Mo's rebellion plan to him at any time.

As long as Ao Xuan captured Yan Dan, he could force Yu Mo to surrender. Afterward, Ao Xuan only needed to give Yan Dan's body to her. Ao Xuan and Fairy Yingdeng hit it off. Ao Xuan gave the shadow beast responsible for transmitting messages to Fairy Yingdeng. Whenever Yan Dan had time, she would hide away to write. Lu Ming received Yu Mo's letter and rushed to see him immediately.

Lu Ming saw Yan Dan concentrating on her writing from afar and revealed to Yu Mo that Yan Dan had been tormented in the waters of the River of Oblivion for over 800 years and finally forgot her past events with the help of Ying Yuan. Yu Mo felt a pang of sorrow and vowed not to let Yan Dan suffer any more pain. Lu Ming saw Yan Dan again, and tears couldn't help but stream down his face.

Yan Dan was greatly puzzled. Lu Ming used the excuse that he had read her play "Pear Garden Gathering" and was very excited to see her again. Yan Dan strongly recommended her new play to him. Lu Ming also gave Yan Dan a large watermelon. Yan Dan ate it heartily and praised how delicious the Celestial Realm's watermelon was. She treated Lu Ming as a friend. Lu Ming gave Yan Dan the watermelon seeds.

Yan Dan wanted to plant watermelon on Yelanshan. Tomorrow, Yu Mo was going to lead the troops from the three seas in an uprising. Yan Dan learned about Yu Mo's grand plan and felt fortunate to have Yu Mo as a great backer. Just as Yu Mo was about to express his affection for Yan Dan, soldiers suddenly passed by, and Yu Mo had to change the subject. Yan Dan saw the generals and soldiers were still drilling intensely and came up with a good way to resolve the South Sea crisis.

Episode 32 Recap

Fairy Yingdeng came to Yan Dan and Yu Mo to inquire about the battle plan. Yan Dan revealed her clever scheme completely. She wanted to imitate the play "Jing Ke Assassinating Qin." She would pretend to be Yu Mo, whose head was cut off, and hide in a wooden box. She would have Yu Mo disguise himself as a Dragon Palace guard to present the box, and then assassinate Ao Xuan when he was unprepared.

Yu Mo repeatedly reminded Yan Dan not to reveal classified information, but Yan Dan couldn't resist Fairy Yingdeng's persistent questioning and explained the details of the plan entirely. Fairy Yingdeng claimed that she had deep affection for Tangzhou and did not want him to be in danger, so she wanted to participate in this action on his behalf. Yan Dan readily agreed. Tangzhou arrived afterward and volunteered to join the battle.

Yu Mo told him to cook some good dishes and wait for their triumphant return, so Tangzhou had no choice but to give up. Fairy Yingdeng immediately sent the shadow beast back to inform Ao Xuan, telling him Yan Dan and Yu Mo's plan entirely. Today was the auspicious day of Ao Xuan and Chao Lan's wedding. The East Sea Dragon Palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, but the atmosphere was unusually tense.

Ao Xuan had received Fairy Yingdeng's intelligence and had already made careful arrangements. He waited quietly for Yu Mo to take the bait. The soldiers from the three seas were ready to go. Chao Yan gave a pre-battle mobilization speech. Yu Mo, disguised as a palace guard, escorted the small wooden box. The troops assembled, and they marched grandly towards the East Sea.

Upon learning that the South Sea's bridal escort team had arrived, Ao Xuan sent someone to fetch Chao Lan, wanting her to watch a good show. Chao Yan brought Yu Mo and others to the main hall. Fairy Yingdeng secretly gave Ao Xuan a look. Yu Mo presented the small wooden box to Ao Xuan. Ao Xuan snatched the small wooden box, pushed Yu Mo aside, and the surrounding ambushing guards all stepped out, surrounding Chao Yan and the others.

Yu Mo removed his mask and confronted Ao Xuan. Ao Xuan forced him to surrender, otherwise he would destroy the small wooden box. Yu Mo refused to yield. Ao Xuan smashed the small wooden box onto the ground, and the large watermelon inside shattered into pieces. Ao Xuan was instantly dumbfounded. Ao Xuan ordered Chao Lan to be brought forward. He reached out to lift the red veil, but unexpectedly, the bride before him was Yan Dan.

It turned out that Yan Dan had put herself into the small wooden box early in the morning. Tangzhou thought it was too dangerous and discussed other methods with Yu Mo. Yan Dan then came up with the strategy of swapping the prince for a wild cat. She followed the main force to the East Sea and went directly to find Chao Lan.

She changed into Chao Lan's wedding dress and sent someone to escort Chao Lan back to the South Sea. Ao Xuan was enraged and lashed out at Yan Dan. Tangzhou and Yu Mo quickly stepped forward to protect Yan Dan. The two of them together restrained Ao Xuan. Yan Dan pressed closer and closer to Ao Xuan. Ao Xuan desperately broke free from the restraints. Yan Dan reminded Tangzhou to attack the reverse scale on Ao Xuan's chest.

Tangzhou drew his sword and stabbed Ao Xuan's chest. Ao Xuan was severely wounded and in a panic, he took Fairy Yingdeng hostage. Yu Mo told Ao Xuan to surrender his weapons, but Ao Xuan adamantly refused and fled while holding Fairy Yingdeng hostage. Fairy Yingdeng repeatedly explained that she didn't know Yan Dan had changed the plan.

Ao Xuan had already found out about Fairy Yingdeng's background and knew that she was banished to the mortal realm because of her deep affection for Ying Yuan, and that she still could not forget her old feelings for Ying Yuan undergoing his mortal trials. Ao Xuan used the shadow beast to report the news that Ying Yuan was still alive to the Celestial Realm. In a fit of anger, Fairy Yingdeng used her Soul-Shattering Hook to pierce his body.

Ao Xuan immediately fell to the ground and died. Fairy Yingdeng then silenced the shadow beast. Yan Dan and Yu Mo arrived subsequently and saw that Fairy Yingdeng had killed Ao Xuan. Fairy Yingdeng claimed that Ao Xuan wanted to exchange her for Chao Lan, and she had no choice but to kill him. Yan Dan hurried over to help Fairy Yingdeng up.

Yu Mo saw a ring made by a shadow beast on the ground and quietly picked it up. The North Sea Dragon King and the West Sea Dragon King persuaded the guards not to resist further. Seeing that Ao Xuan was dead, they all surrendered their weapons. Yu Mo came to the East Sea Dragon Palace to search for information about the War of Creation and found another ring made by a shadow beast.

Chao Yan recognized it as the White Dragon Tribe's inherited spirit beast and summoned the shadow beast. The shadow beast was a spirit beast that transmitted messages. It contained records of a plot by someone to collude the East Sea White Dragon Tribe and the Asura Totem to eradicate the Ninefin Tribe, as well as a plan to harm the three great Sovereign Lords, Celestial Deity Beiming, and Star Deity JiDu.

Chao Yan decided to report this matter to the Supreme Majesty. From the tone of the person behind the scenes, he deduced that he was someone from the Celestial Realm, but he couldn't guess who that person was for a while. Yu Mo vowed to avenge his master, Celestial Deity Beiming. Yan Dan felt that Fairy Yingdeng's actions were suspicious and suspected that she was also involved in Pei Luo poisoning Jiang Chen.

Lacking conclusive evidence, the only thing Yan Dan was sure of was Fairy Yingdeng's feelings for Tangzhou. She decocted medicine for Fairy Yingdeng and had Tangzhou personally deliver it, taking the opportunity to use a honey trap to elicit information from Fairy Yingdeng and also confirm if Fairy Yingdeng was the woman in Tangzhou's dream. Tangzhou resolutely refused, and instead used a honey trap on Yan Dan. Yan Dan was made blush and fled in embarrassment.

Tangzhou brought calming soup to Fairy Yingdeng. He placed it at the door and wanted to leave. Fairy Yingdeng lied, claiming to be unwell, and asked Tangzhou to come in and treat her. Tangzhou reluctantly went in to take Fairy Yingdeng's pulse. Fairy Yingdeng took the opportunity to tightly embrace Tangzhou and repeatedly expressed her feelings for him. Tangzhou couldn't get away, so he had no choice but to cast a Memory-Wiping Spell on her.

Fairy Yingdeng's face immediately showed many black spots. Fairy Yingdeng complained that Tangzhou was heartless. She was willing to give everything for him, yet he repeatedly let her down. Tangzhou didn't want to listen to her rambling and turned to leave. Fairy Yingdeng reminded Tangzhou to quickly gather the four divine artifacts to repair his immortal robe, otherwise he would turn to dust. Fairy Yingdeng wanted to use Yan Dan's heart to heal Tangzhou.

Tangzhou drew his sword, not allowing Fairy Yingdeng to touch even a single finger of Yan Dan. Fairy Yingdeng was heartbroken and in immense pain. She directed all her anger towards Yan Dan, vowing to kill her to eliminate future trouble. Chao Yan worried that Tangzhou was in danger and gave him the South Sea's treasured pearl—the Memory-Calling Pearl. Tangzhou asked Chao Yan about dreaming of a woman jumping off a bridge.

Chao Yan told him to find the answer through the Memory-Calling Pearl, which would also help him find the four divine artifacts more quickly and return to his Celestial Deity position sooner. Chao Lan saw a boy worried that the three seas would attack the East Sea. Chao Lan, with great righteousness in her heart, informed him that there would be no more wars in the Four Seas in the future. At this time, Yu Mo, who was passing by, said that Chao Lan would definitely become a benevolent and loving Dragon Lord of the Four Seas.

Episode 33 Recap

Yu Mo took out the Reverse Scale and returned it to Chao Lan. Chao Lan firmly refused to accept it. Yu Mo knew that the Reverse Scale was insignificant to her and insisted on returning it completely. Chao Lan proposed that Yu Mo crown her during her succession ceremony. Yu Mo felt he was not worthy, but he could not resist Chao Lan's persistent pleading, so Yu Mo finally agreed.

Today was the day of Chao Lan's succession as the Dragon Lord of the Four Seas. Yan Dan came to congratulate her. Chao Lan wished Yan Dan and Yu Mo happiness. Yan Dan repeatedly explained that Yu Mo's heart already belonged to someone, regretting the missed opportunity. Chao Lan revealed that Yu Mo had a deep affection for Yan Dan, and that he was afraid to tell her his feelings for fear of scaring Yan Dan away.

The greatest suffering in the world is lovesickness. Yu Mo suffers like this simply because he wants Yan Dan to live carefree and happy. The auspicious time had arrived. Yu Mo personally crowned Chao Lan. Chao Lan accepted the homage of the Dragon Tribes of the Four Seas and then officially succeeded to the throne. After the ceremony ended, Yu Mo bid farewell to Chao Lan, wishing her to find someone she loved soon.

Lu Ming returned to the Celestial Realm. Zhi Xi eagerly inquired about Yan Dan's recent situation. Upon learning that Yan Dan was living happily, Zhi Xi felt deeply relieved. Lu Ming advised her to go see Yan Dan. Zhi Xi felt she had no face to meet Yan Dan. Tangzhou, Yan Dan, and Yu Mo all saw that Fairy Yingdeng was definitely not a good person. They suspected that she knew the spell for using the Li Chen.

They discussed and decided to go back to Fairy Yingdeng's sect with her and then observe the situation to see what her true intentions were. Yu Mo and the group of four arrived at a dense forest. Passing through this forest led to Fairy Yingdeng's sect—Hexin Sect. Fairy Yingdeng knew that Tangzhou and Yu Mo held grudges against her and promised to reveal everything once they reached the sect. The Li Chen suddenly showed an anomaly.

Yan Dan speculated that the Li Chen was related to this forest. Fairy Yingdeng admitted she found the Li Chen here. Yu Mo worried about an ambush and asked Fairy Yingdeng to lead the way. Fairy Yingdeng claimed she often chopped wood in the forest and knew the terrain like the back of her hand. She used the excuse of a dangerous swamp to the west and led them to bypass it from the north.

Tangzhou quickly discovered that the trees were not arranged naturally but were set up as a Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation. Once inside the center of the formation, it would trigger the formation. Before Tangzhou could react, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky, and dark clouds gathered. Fairy Yingdeng repeatedly explained that she found the Li Chen here that year.

It turned out that when Fairy Yingdeng came to the forest to chop wood, she accidentally triggered an Eight Trigrams Formation formed by demon souls. A fellow disciple sister followed her, reminding her not to be lazy. Fairy Yingdeng used the Eight Trigrams Formation to cultivate the "Xiaohan Scripture." As a result, her power greatly increased. In a fit of anger, she turned her senior sister into a stone statue and then completely destroyed the statue.

Fairy Yingdeng discovered the Li Chen underground and took it for herself. Tangzhou calculated using the Eight Trigrams Formation that the north was the exit, so he led Yu Mo and Yan Dan to head north. Fairy Yingdeng seized the opportunity to ambush Yan Dan. Tangzhou and Yu Mo joined forces to protect Yan Dan. Fairy Yingdeng hated Yan Dan to the core.

She went through great lengths to gain Pei Luo's trust, and just as she was about to become the Consort, Yan Dan completely ruined it. Fairy Yingdeng admitted all her schemes were for Tangzhou. As long as she killed Yan Dan and used her heart to heal Tangzhou, and then she cast a spell to make Tangzhou forget his past, they could be together forever. Black mist suddenly appeared in the air.

Yu Mo felt something was wrong and reminded Tangzhou and Yan Dan to be careful. Fairy Yingdeng claimed that this black mist was demon souls and boasted that she could turn Yu Mo and Yan Dan into stone statues. Then she could dominate the mortal realm with the two great divine artifacts, the Li Chen and the Ninefin Dragon Elixir. Fairy Yingdeng used her magical power to attack Yan Dan and Yu Mo. Tangzhou joined forces with them to resist.

Fairy Yingdeng's power was strong. Yan Dan gradually could not bear it. She reminded Tangzhou to quickly take the Memory-Calling Pearl that Chao Yan gave him. Then he would remember all his immortal techniques. Yu Mo advised Tangzhou to counterattack using the Li Chen. Fairy Yingdeng became furious from embarrassment. She used the Xiaohan Scripture to press them step by step.

Yu Mo instructed Tangzhou on how to use the Xiaohan Scripture to control the Li Chen to fight Fairy Yingdeng. Yan Dan felt the Xiaohan Scripture sounded familiar but could not remember where she heard it. Fairy Yingdeng didn't expect Yu Mo to know the Xiaohan Scripture. Tangzhou quickly subdued Fairy Yingdeng. Fairy Yingdeng claimed she served Tangzhou for over a thousand years but ended up dying by his hand.

Fairy Yingdeng swore she would make Tangzhou feel guilty for a lifetime. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into a stone statue. Yan Dan felt that Fairy Yingdeng got what she deserved. She became crazy and demonic because of love. Yan Dan worried that the woman in Tangzhou's dream was also such a possessive person. Tangzhou remained silent. Yan Dan suggested going to Hexin Sect to ask someone who knew about the spell for the Li Chen.

The three of them came to an inn. Yu Mo inquired about Hexin Sect from the owner. He learned that Fairy Yingdeng cultivated many unorthodox paths here. Because of her wicked intentions, she was disliked by her fellow disciples. Pei Luo came here to worship, and Fairy Yingdeng used magic to enchant him. Pei Luo appointed her as a secondary consort and brought her into the palace.

The night before Fairy Yingdeng left, a great fire suddenly broke out at Hexin Sect. All 57 people perished, none survived. Yan Dan and Tangzhou didn't expect Fairy Yingdeng to be so ruthless. Yan Dan felt afraid remembering it all. Fortunately, Yu Mo knew the Xiaohan Scripture, otherwise they would have all turned into stone statues. Yan Dan immediately decided not to be Yu Mo's little follower anymore.

She wanted to cultivate with Yu Mo, not only to protect herself but also to protect Yu Mo. Yu Mo was naturally overjoyed. Tangzhou felt a pang of jealousy. A little boy named Xiao Xin at the next table choked on his food. Yan Dan quickly went over to help, patting out the food stuck in his throat.

Xiao Xin's grandmother was extremely grateful to her and invited Yan Dan, Tangzhou, and Yu Mo to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival at the inn. She prepared the Five Yellows for them. Yu Mo didn't eat his own kind. Yan Dan worried that the realgar wine would reveal their true forms. Tangzhou gritted his teeth and ate a few bites. The old grandmother poured a cup of wine for Yan Dan.

Tangzhou secretly tested the wine and found it was not poisoned. Yu Mo drank a cup on her behalf. The old grandmother offered a cup of wine to Yu Mo. Tangzhou took it and drank it down in one gulp, claiming Yan Dan was a maid he picked up. Yu Mo claimed to be Tangzhou's steward and complained that Tangzhou was breaking them up like separating mandarin ducks, ruining his relationship with Yan Dan.

Yu Mo made the excuse of a headache and could not drink. Yan Dan lied that her asthma had flared up and she could not touch alcohol. Tangzhou had no choice but to grit his teeth and drink cup after cup. He quickly became drunk and unconscious. Yu Mo sent Tangzhou back to his room. Tangzhou kept calling out Yan Dan's name. Yu Mo immediately understood Tangzhou's feelings for Yan Dan.

Tangzhou dreamed of the woman who asked for his heart. The woman jumped off the bridge next to him. Tangzhou shed sad tears in his dream. The old grandmother quietly came to Tangzhou's room and stole his Li Chen. It turned out the old grandmother was sent by the Palace Master of Shenxiao Palace. The Palace Master knew the Li Chen had chosen its master and he could not use it even if he stole it.

He only wanted Tangzhou, Yu Mo, and Yan Dan to enter the trap to help him complete his great endeavor. Tangzhou woke up in the morning and found the Li Chen stolen. His heart sank. Yu Mo went to investigate the surroundings. He learned that this inn had been empty for a long time and was suddenly rented out by someone three days ago. Also, no one knew the old grandmother and Xiao Xin.

Yu Mo concluded that someone set up a trap beforehand. Yan Dan found that a lot of realgar powder was added to the wine, covering up the undetectable strange smell of knockout drops. Yu Mo suspected they were targeted long ago. Knowing that he and Yan Dan were demons and could not drink realgar wine, someone deliberately made Tangzhou drink it and then found an opportunity to steal the Li Chen.

Yan Dan remembered that the book said the main ingredient of knockout drops could only be cultivated on Zhucui Mountain. Tangzhou, Yan Dan, and Yu Mo, a group of three, arrived at Zhucui Town at the foot of Zhucui Mountain. They could not investigate the knockout drops openly. Yan Dan suggested looking for clues in the Jinhuan Brothel, a dancing establishment.

Episode 34 Recap

Tangzhou firmly refused to go to pleasure places like dancing establishments. Yu Mo dragged him in by force. For the convenience of investigation, Yan Dan entered Jinhuan Brothel disguised as a man. The star dancer Fushuang danced gracefully. She was naturally beautiful, and her dance moves were graceful and lively, earning rounds of applause and cheers from everyone. The local rich gentry Xiao Qi lusted after Fushuang's beauty and dance.

He took the initiative to show her favor, offering a thousand gold coins to spend the night with her. Yan Dan heard that Xiao Qi was a notorious philanderer. He loved to use despicable methods like knockout smoke and love potions. He had countless lives on his hands, but the Xiao family and the officials colluded with each other, and no one could do anything to Xiao Qi.

The owner of Jinhuan Brothel hurried over to help Fushuang out of the situation. She repeatedly emphasized that this was a dancing establishment, and the girls did not sell their bodies. She asked Fushuang to offer Xiao Qi a cup of wine as an apology. Xiao Qi insisted on drinking a toast together. Yan Dan couldn't stand it and wanted to teach Xiao Qi a good lesson. A parrot suddenly flew in and knocked over Xiao Qi's wine cup.

Liu Weiyang arrived at the sound. She severely condemned Xiao Qi's shameless behavior. Fushuang thanked Liu Weiyang for rescuing her. Liu Weiyang was willing to pay a thousand gold coins to drink a cup with Fushuang. Fushuang and Liu Weiyang went down hand in hand to drink. Xiao Qi was so angry that he flew into a rage. He was going to report Jinhuan Brothel to the officials as a black shop and have it sealed up.

Yan Dan asked Yu Mo and Tangzhou to question Xiao Qi. She would go explore Liu Weiyang's truth. Tangzhou reminded her to be extra careful. The three of them acted separately. Tangzhou and Yu Mo caught up with Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi confessed that the knockout drops were the 'Soul-Stealing Powder' made by Shenxiao Palace. Shenxiao Palace was a mysterious organization in the Jianghu (martial world). No one knew where it was, and its disciples were also elusive.

Moreover, the disciples of Shenxiao Palace all had three-petal plum blossom tattoos on their bodies. Xiao Qi had studied Shenxiao Palace's prescriptions, and many medicinal ingredients came from Zhucui Mountain. Xiao Qi also smelled a strong odor of narrow-leaf calamus root in the backyard of Jinhuan Brothel. Yu Mo didn't expect them to be targeted by Shenxiao Palace. He decided to go to the backyard of Jinhuan Brothel tonight to find out. Yan Dan followed Liu Weiyang to the backyard.

She saw Liu Weiyang pricking Fushuang's arm with a needle through the crack in the door. She thought she was also a lecher. Without saying a word, Yan Dan used an itching spell on Liu Weiyang. Liu Weiyang cried out in agony from the itching. Fushuang confirmed that Liu Weiyang was a virtuous person. She asked Liu Weiyang to help touch up the butterfly tattoo on her wrist.

Yan Dan then realized she had misunderstood Liu Weiyang and repeatedly apologized to her. But Liu Weiyang didn't accept it. She released parrots to chase and intercept Yan Dan. Fushuang pleaded for Yan Dan. Only then did Liu Weiyang relent. Yan Dan felt there was something else hidden in Jinhuan Brothel. Yu Mo and Tangzhou felt the same way. They took advantage of the darkness to search around Jinhuan Brothel.

They discovered a large pharmacy and found narrow-leaf calamus root there. Liu Weiyang arrived afterward. She personally made delicious food using narrow-leaf calamus root for them to taste and explained that narrow-leaf calamus root could relieve phlegm and clear the lungs. She often made it for the girls at the dancing establishment. Tangzhou wanted to know if there were other uses. Liu Weiyang guessed they wanted to inquire about Shenxiao Palace.

She revealed that Shenxiao Palace used narrow-leaf calamus root to make hallucinogens, and the Palace Master was looking for the divine artifact Li Chen. Liu Weiyang concluded that they were being targeted by people from Shenxiao Palace and reminded them to be careful everywhere. Yu Mo and Tangzhou discussed staying here for a few more days to thoroughly investigate the details of Shenxiao Palace.

Yan Dan also wanted to investigate Liu Weiyang's true identity because the disciples of Shenxiao Palace all had plum blossom tattoos, and she happened to be skilled in this technique. Liu Weiyang and Fushuang played chess. Yan Dan came over to join the fun, questioning Liu Weiyang's purpose for staying at Jinhuan Brothel. She explained that this was her personal hobby. She wanted to play chess with Yan Dan and also wanted to add a wager.

Yan Dan proposed that the loser must answer a question truthfully. Liu Weiyang readily agreed, but Yan Dan didn't know how to play chess. Tangzhou and Yu Mo didn't either. She could only bite the bullet and play. Yan Dan started playing chess. Her vision became blurred. She always felt as if she had played chess with someone before. Yu Mo firmly believed Yan Dan would win.

Yan Dan was overly aggressive for a moment, allowing Liu Weiyang to exploit a weakness, and lost the first game. Liu Weiyang wanted to know about the most powerful spell she had seen. Yan Dan revealed the Bu Li Lock on her wrist and also glared at Tangzhou. Liu Weiyang lost the second game. Yan Dan asked her why she didn't go home. She claimed the rules at home were too numerous.

Back and forth like this, Yan Dan and Liu Weiyang finished the entire game of chess. Liu Weiyang discovered that one of her white pieces was missing, suspecting Yan Dan had stolen it. Yan Dan voluntarily let her search her. Yu Mo desperately tried to stop her. Liu Weiyang released parrots which pecked away Yan Dan's hair tie. Yan Dan's long hair fell loose. Liu Weiyang didn't expect she was a woman.

She asked her to go on stage and perform for everyone. Yan Dan then asked Tangzhou and Yu Mo to spar with swords to liven things up. Fushuang took the opportunity to throw her red embroidered ball. Tangzhou and Yu Mo pushed each other back and forth, and it finally landed in Tangzhou's hand. The girls cheered and urged Tangzhou to marry Fushuang. Tangzhou publicly refused this marriage, asking Fushuang to find someone else.

Yu Mo discovered that Tangzhou's wrist was seriously injured. Tangzhou had no choice but to reveal that the successor of the Lingxiao Sect must wear a magic ring that severs feelings and love. Once violated, they would suffer stabbing pain. Yu Mo mistakenly thought Tangzhou had fallen for Fushuang. Fushuang came to Tangzhou to learn unique secret techniques for self-defense. Yan Dan rushed over to reason with Tangzhou. Yu Mo discovered that Tangzhou's magic ring showed another anomaly.

Only then did he realize that Tangzhou was in love with Yan Dan. Fushuang was met with a rebuff and could only leave dejectedly. Yan Dan had been observing Liu Weiyang's every move. She discovered that she was very interested in the sword dancing moves of Tangzhou and Yu Mo. Fushuang came to Tangzhou again to learn magic. Therefore, she suspected their intentions were not pure. Tangzhou wanted to gather information from Fushuang.

Yan Dan reminded him not to fall for her. Tangzhou was unable to argue. Yan Dan found out that a storyteller in a teahouse was talking about the "Legend of Shenxiao Palace" and invited Yu Mo to go listen with her. That night, Yu Mo brought Tangzhou to the riverside, asking him to immerse himself in cold water to suppress his feelings. Yu Mo felt the same way.

He had also experienced the stabbing pain when he saw the person he loved with someone else. He used this method to alleviate it. Tangzhou submerged himself in the icy cold river water. All that lingered in his mind was Yan Dan's image. Tangzhou remembered the Sect Master's instructions and forcibly suppressed the emotions for Yan Dan in his heart. Tangzhou caught a cold and fever from being frozen by the cold water.

Yan Dan and Yu Mo went to the teahouse to listen to the story. They packed up a lot of snacks to take back to Tangzhou. The storyteller continued to recount the Legend of Shenxiao Palace. All the guests claimed to have seen the Palace Master, and everyone's description was different. Yan Dan and Yu Mo passed by the Xiao family's residence. They saw a high mourning hall set up inside to hold a funeral for Xiao Qi.

Yan Dan pretended to be Xiao Qi's admirer and cried mournfully at the entrance. The steward let Yan Dan and Yu Mo in to offer condolences and revealed that Xiao Qi had choked to death on food after drinking. Yan Dan approached the coffin and discovered a wound on Xiao Qi's neck.

Yu Mo learned from the steward that Xiao Qi had returned home in the early morning hours yesterday and was pestered by an old woman selling wine who demanded money. The steward only remembered the old woman was wearing a plum blossom hairpin. Yan Dan discovered that the wound on Xiao Qi's neck was also in the shape of a three-petal plum blossom. She suspected that people from Shenxiao Palace did it.

Their movements were clearly seen by Liu Weiyang's parrots. Fushuang came to Tangzhou to learn self-defense techniques. Tangzhou used the excuse of not feeling well to decline. Fushuang came closer and asked about his well-being. Tangzhou discovered calluses on Fushuang's hands. Fushuang explained that they were left from practicing the zither. Fushuang saw the Chenhua hairpin and wanted Tangzhou to give it to her. Tangzhou flatly refused. Yan Dan came to bring Tangzhou snacks.

She entered and saw Fushuang holding the Chenhua hairpin, mistakenly thinking Tangzhou had given it to Fushuang as a token of love. She turned around and left in a huff. Fushuang guessed the Chenhua hairpin belonged to Yan Dan, asking Tangzhou to properly comfort her.

Episode 35 Recap

Yan Dan was vexed in her heart. The script for "Hong Chen Lu" was placed on the table, but she couldn't write a single word. She just sat there sighing. Yu Mo personally made egg fried rice to cheer her up. Yan Dan smelled the fragrant rice but couldn't eat it. Yu Mo saw she had something on her mind and advised her to open up.

Yan Dan couldn't quite explain what was wrong with her; she couldn't control herself every time she saw Tangzhou. Yu Mo guessed that she had feelings for Tangzhou. Yan Dan had never experienced that kind of feeling and didn't know what it meant to have her heart stirred. Yu Mo advised her not to rush and to slowly experience the emotions of the mortal world.

Yu Mo reminded Yan Dan to be cautious about her feelings for Tangzhou, as Tangzhou was to become the Sect Master of the Lingxiao Sect in the future and must sever all ties of love and emotion. Lin Lang gave her younger brother Ziyan 500 years of her demon power to save him. For a long time after that, despite Lin Lang's efforts a hundred or a thousand times over, her demon power was still difficult to recover.

She was extremely anxious. Zi Lin desperately comforted her, but she still couldn't let go. Zi Lin looked at Lin Lang's lonely back and came up with a good idea. He summoned the brush spirit to help. The spirit knew that the fox tribe hated being deceived the most and worried about causing trouble if the truth was revealed. Zi Lin promised to change its hair to wolf hair if the matter was successful, and the spirit reluctantly agreed.

Zi Lin asked the spirit to impersonate a brush immortal to divine for Lin Lang. The brush immortal firmly believed that Lin Lang's demon power would recover as before. Lin Lang wanted to ask about her marriage prospects. The brush immortal pointed to Zi Lin. Lin Lang saw through Zi Lin and the brush immortal colluding and forced the brush immortal to reveal its true form, threatening to severely punish it.

The spirit had no choice but to admit that this was all planned by Zi Lin. Zi Lin repeatedly explained that he only arranged the first matter, and their marriage was due to their destiny. Lin Lang was so angry she gnashed her teeth. Zi Lin asked her to test how her demon power had recovered. Lin Lang used her power on Zi Lin and the spirit. Zi Lin was knocked to the ground.

The spirit complained that Lin Lang had been too heavy-handed. Zi Lin stood up to defend Lin Lang and kept saying he wanted to marry her. Lin Lang was so angry she chased after Zi Lin to hit him. The spirit saw that they were fated and didn't want to cause more trouble, so it just shut up. Yan Dan and Tangzhou went to a jewelry store to investigate the plum blossom hairpin that killed Xiao Qi, but found nothing.

Tangzhou explained to Yan Dan that he and Fushuang were just pretending and he would never give the Chenhua hairpin to Fushuang. He also gave Yan Dan a bouquet of flowers to apologize. Yan Dan immediately forgave him and took the Chenhua hairpin back. Yu Mo arrived to meet up with them. The jewelry store owner saw Yan Dan's Chenhua hairpin and wanted to customize a hairpin for her.

Yan Dan took the opportunity to ask about the plum blossom hairpin. The owner remembered that Fushuang had once ordered a plum blossom hairpin. Yan Dan suspected that Fushuang was a disciple of Shenxiao Palace and also the murderer who transformed into an old woman to assassinate Xiao Qi. As long as they found the three-petal plum blossom tattoo on Fushuang, they could confirm she was the real murderer.

This kind of tattoo is usually engraved on a hidden part of the body and is difficult for ordinary people to discover. Yan Dan volunteered to investigate this matter. While Fushuang was taking a bath, Yan Dan seized the opportunity to get close and see. She accidentally discovered that the butterfly tattoo on Fushuang's arm turned into a three-petal plum blossom pattern when it encountered hot water. She concluded that Fushuang was a disciple of Shenxiao Palace.

Yan Dan reported this to Tangzhou and Yu Mo. Tangzhou felt that since Fushuang's identity had been exposed, she would definitely notify other palace members of Shenxiao Palace. They would wait calmly for now, then follow the clues to find Shenxiao Palace, and then retrieve Li Chen. Liu Weiyang's parrots outside heard everything clearly. Just as they expected, Fushuang went out after dark. Yan Dan, Yu Mo, and Tangzhou quietly followed her to a place.

It was dark night just moments ago, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into daytime. In front of them were plum blossoms scattered all over the ground and a small stream gurgling. Yan Dan remembered that ancient texts recorded this type of technique was called Mirror Lake Water Moon. A person could transform their spiritual energy into a spiritual domain and hide within it to conceal their tracks. The scenery could also change according to one's mood.

Yan Dan speculated that this was the spiritual domain of the Palace Master of Shenxiao Palace. As Yan Dan expected, this was indeed the spiritual domain of the Palace Master of Shenxiao Palace. The three of them were trapped within. The Palace Master arrived gracefully. It turned out she was Liu Weiyang. Yan Dan and Tangzhou had already begun to suspect Liu Weiyang's identity because there was no large family named Liu in the city at all.

Seeing that her identity was exposed, Liu Weiyang threatened to drain all their spiritual energy and turn them into withered bones. Tangzhou and Yu Mo teamed up to test it and found that Liu Weiyang's spell formation was indeed powerful. Yan Dan guessed that Liu Weiyang couldn't use Li Chen, so she had tried every means to lure them here to seek help. Liu Weiyang admitted this without denying it.

Liu Weiyang took Yan Dan, Yu Mo, and Tangzhou to Shenxiao Palace. A huge black vortex appeared before them. Liu Weiyang introduced it as the Demon Aspect and recounted her experiences in detail. That year, Liu Weiyang was severely injured and lost her memory. When she woke up, she was already in Zhucui Mountain. Before her was only an old man and a large black vortex. The old man introduced this place as the Demon Aspect.

He taught Liu Weiyang to cultivate and increase her spiritual energy by relying on the Demon Aspect and also taught her techniques to transform into the appearance and posture of others. Liu Weiyang wanted to ask for the old man's identity, but he just wouldn't tell her and eventually passed away. Liu Weiyang created a spiritual domain in Zhucui Mountain to hide the existence of the Demon Aspect.

She wanted to regain her lost memory through the Demon Aspect, but the miasma at the entrance prevented her from breaking through. Liu Weiyang had no choice but to build Shenxiao Palace and trained a large number of palace members. The dancers at Jinhuan Brothel were all her disciples. Liu Weiyang sent them to find a way to break through the miasma. Finally, she heard that Li Chen could remove the miasma.

Liu Weiyang racked her brains but couldn't use Li Chen. Liu Weiyang asked Tangzhou to help use Li Chen to break through the miasma and enter the Demon Aspect, promising to let bygones be bygones. Yan Dan wanted to go into the Demon Aspect to find the divine artifacts left from the battle between immortals and demons. The two reached an agreement.

Tangzhou successfully used Li Chen to break through the miasma, and the four people entered the Demon Aspect one after another. After entering the Demon Aspect, Yan Dan dreamed that she was in the Night-Crossing River and also met Tangzhou. When she woke up, she found herself trapped in a sand pit. She struggled desperately. Yu Mo, Liu Weiyang, and Tangzhou were gradually swallowed by the sand.

She called out loudly for Yu Mo and used a lotus root stem as a vine to pull Tangzhou out. However, the vine broke, and Tangzhou remained unconscious and continued to sink. Yan Dan rushed over to grab Tangzhou and suddenly felt a tearing pain in her heart and wanted to cry. She was greatly puzzled. Yu Mo and Liu Weiyang woke up.

They struggled out of the sand pit and discovered that the sand would swallow anyone who was asleep. Yu Mo shouted loudly to remind Yan Dan to wake Tangzhou. The three of them shouted Tangzhou's name together. Tangzhou was in a daze, dreaming that he and Yan Dan returned to the Lingxiao Sect. The Sect Master forced him to choose between Yan Dan and righteousness. The disciples all shouted for Tangzhou to kill Yan Dan.

The Sect Master handed the dagger to Tangzhou, held his hand, and stabbed the dagger through Yan Dan's body. Tangzhou woke up startled and successfully escaped from the sand pit. Before leaving, Yu Mo picked up a section of lotus root stem and hid it in his embrace. Yan Dan and the other three continued to move forward. Ahead was a small river. Yan Dan wanted to get some water, but a snake jumped out of the water.

Yu Mo recognized it as the Nine-tailed Snake, a divine beast of the demon tribe, and warned everyone to be careful of the poison on the Nine-tailed Snake. The Nine-tailed Snake pressed closer step by step. Yan Dan remembered that the Nine-tailed Snake had a vital weakness in its odd-numbered tail that could not regenerate, so she directed the three of them to directly attack that tail of the Nine-tailed Snake.

Just as the Nine-tailed Snake was about to attack Yan Dan, Yu Mo was accidentally injured while blocking it and directly cut out the poisoned flesh. The Nine-tailed Snake wanted to use an illusion technique on Liu Weiyang. Tangzhou immediately threw out his dagger and blinded the snake's eyes. The Nine-tailed Snake fell to the ground and died. Liu Weiyang pulled out the snake's fangs and took them with her.

Liu Weiyang led Yan Dan, Tangzhou, and Yu Mo to a large hall and found many mirrors inside, guessing it was a place to awaken memories. Liu Weiyang tried to awaken her memories, but her head ached intensely. Yu Mo accidentally summoned the third divine artifact, Chou Mo. Yan Dan saw scenes from the past in the mirrors. Tangzhou saw the wicked technique of summoning power with blood in one of the mirrors, and he suddenly felt dizzy.

Yan Dan discovered that the Nine-tailed Snake was about to revive and reminded everyone to take Chou Mo. A black-clothed figure jumped out of the mirror and wanted to capture Liu Weiyang. Liu Weiyang was too scared to move. The black-clothed figure attacked Yu Mo and Tangzhou. The two of them fought back desperately. Yan Dan discovered that the black-clothed figure had no consciousness and would only attack moving people.

She immediately decided to let Yu Mo and Liu Weiyang lead the black-clothed figure away, while she and Tangzhou would seize the opportunity to take Chou Mo. The four people split up. Tangzhou successfully obtained Chou Mo and collected Yan Dan's scattered lotus petals to return to her. Yan Dan gave him a petal as a memento.

Episode 36 Recap

Yu Mo and Liu Weiyang led the black-clothed figure out. The three of them fought desperately. Yu Mo discovered that the black-clothed figure had profound power and very rare techniques. Although Liu Weiyang's power was insufficient, she could handle it easily. Yu Mo was greatly puzzled. The black-clothed figure pressed closer and closer to Liu Weiyang. Yu Mo hurried forward to reinforce, but was knocked to the ground by the black-clothed figure.

Liu Weiyang finally saw the black-clothed figure's true appearance. The black-clothed figure then self-detonated, and then implanted a magical artifact into Liu Weiyang's body. Liu Weiyang instantly remembered everything from the past. When Yu Mo saw this scene, he wanted to struggle to his feet, but fainted instead. If someone dispels the petrification mist within forty-nine days, those trapped within can be released. Due to the turmoil of the demon tribe, Fairy Yingdeng was successfully rescued.

Because she was trapped for too long, her legs could not recover for a while. Fairy Yingdeng didn't expect the demon tribe to bring her back to life. She swore to make Tangzhou and Yan Dan pay the price they deserved. Yu Mo woke up groggily. He saw the girls from Jinhuan Brothel accompanying him. He was so scared he scrambled away desperately. Yan Dan and Tangzhou rushed over after hearing the news.

Yu Mo pretended to be weak, wanting Yan Dan to take care of him. Tangzhou said he would take care of him together with Yan Dan. Yu Mo immediately sat up and stopped pretending to be sick. After Yan Dan and Tangzhou obtained Chou Mo, they were stunned by a mysterious force and returned to Jinhuan Brothel after waking up. Yu Mo briefly recounted his and Liu Weiyang's experiences.

He discovered that Liu Weiyang and the black-clothed figure were old acquaintances. Yan Dan suspected that all of this was related to the demon tribe and wanted to thoroughly investigate the truth. Yu Mo advised Tangzhou to leave as soon as possible. Tangzhou also wanted to participate in this action. Yan Dan wanted to write the story of humans and demons working together to save the common people into her book.

Yan Dan, Tangzhou, and Yu Mo came to Shenxiao Palace together to find Liu Weiyang. Liu Weiyang avoided seeing them. Yan Dan wanted to force her way in. Fushuang tried desperately to stop them. They knocked Fushuang and the others to the ground without any effort. Liu Weiyang opened the door and came out. The Nine-tailed Snake's fang injured Yu Mo's arm.

The Nine-tailed Snake is a highly poisonous creature of the Three Realms; once struck, the flesh will completely decay. Yu Mo was worried he would die from the poison and immediately cut off that piece of flesh. However, the poisoned blood within his body could not be removed. Tangzhou relentlessly questioned Liu Weiyang about her true identity. Liu Weiyang admitted that she had remembered everything. In her heart, there was only pain, no happiness.

She is now in a state of utter confusion and wants to be alone for a few days to clear up the past before telling them everything. Liu Weiyang gave Yu Mo the Evil Dispelling Dew, which she had prepared by consuming three years of her spiritual energy, to detoxify him. Yan Dan applied the Evil Dispelling Dew to Yu Mo. Yu Mo's snake venom was quickly cleansed.

Yu Mo felt that Liu Weiyang was too cunning, making it difficult to discern whether she was a friend or foe for the moment. Tangzhou suggested going to the Earth God of Zhucui Mountain to understand the situation. Bai Ling found in ancient texts that tailed demons would wag their tails to prove their heart when encountering someone or something they like. She also called Zi Yan to verify.

Zi Lin was ecstatic, eager to know if Lin Lang liked him. Zi Yan revealed that Lin Lang would hide for one day every sixty years. Because female foxes have Yin bodies, they become spiritually weak and incomplete on the night of the extreme Yin full moon, sometimes even revealing part of their original form. Bai Ling calculated that it was tonight. Lin Lang was hiding in the woods, trembling. Zi Lin came looking for her shortly after.

Lin Lang guessed his intention and told him to close his eyes. Zi Lin came to bring medicinal herbs to Lin Lang, helping her get through tonight smoothly. Lin Lang checked them one by one, wanting to know how Zi Lin obtained these medicinal herbs. Zi Lin walked over with his eyes covered, but was suddenly tripped by a large stone under his feet. Lin Lang lost her balance and fell into his arms.

The two looked into each other's eyes at such close proximity, both blushing with excitement. Lin Lang's tail began to wag involuntarily. Zi Lin finally understood her feelings and couldn't express how happy he was. He lit a bonfire for warmth and stayed with Lin Lang through this long night. Yan Dan, Tangzhou, and Yu Mo saw Liu Weiyang drinking alone from a distance. Fushuang gently tried to persuade her.

She claimed her wish was unfulfilled, and the bitterness in her heart had nowhere to be relieved, so she only wanted to drown her sorrows in alcohol. Yan Dan wanted to help Liu Weiyang fulfill her wish, using this opportunity to inquire about the truth. Yu Mo worried that Liu Weiyang might not open up, so it would be better to investigate on their own.

Tangzhou took Yan Dan and Yu Mo to find the Earth God to borrow the county annals. The Earth God flatly refused and had an arrogant attitude. Yan Dan and Yu Mo couldn't stand it and gave him a good lesson. The Earth God loudly reported them to the Heavenly Realm. Yan Dan had to make a concession and invited the Earth God for a drink to apologize. Yan Dan kept pouring drinks for him.

The Earth God quickly became dead drunk. Yan Dan quickly found the magical artifact where the county annals were hidden on him. Yu Mo found that Zhucui Mountain was once the territory of the demon tribe. The Demon King left the source of the demon tribe's power in Zhucui Mountain. Yan Dan concluded that this power was the Demon Aspect. Yu Mo thought the mysterious person with profound magical power was the Demon King.

Liu Weiyang could absorb the power of the Demon Aspect and also exchange blows with the black-clothed figure. Yu Mo suspected that Liu Weiyang was a demon. Yan Dan suggested getting Liu Weiyang drunk to ask for the truth. Yu Mo knew of a wine called "As You Wish", made from lotus root stems. Once drunk, one's wishes would be fulfilled in a dream. Yu Mo took out that section of lotus root stem.

Yan Dan wanted to learn how to brew wine with him. Tangzhou felt a pang of jealousy in his heart. Fairy Yingdeng wanted to quickly increase her cultivation and spiritual energy. She set her target on the Flower Spirit tribe. Fairy Yingdeng came to Huayin Mountain, claiming to be Yan Dan's friend and wanting to heal here. She even took out lotus petals as proof.

The Flower Spirit tribe leader believed her and had Ziteng and others take her to heal. Fairy Yingdeng took the opportunity to injure them and absorbed the tribal leader's demonic essence. The tribal leader reminded her that she would suffer backlash. Fairy Yingdeng only wanted to become powerful; she couldn't care about that anymore. Yan Dan accompanied Yu Mo in brewing wine. The two of them stayed up all night.

Yan Dan gradually ran out of energy and leaned against the stove, feeling sleepy. Yu Mo carefully observed Yan Dan's haggard face, and a feeling of tenderness arose in his heart. Yu Mo quietly stayed by Yan Dan's side, fanning her. When Tangzhou saw this scene, his heart was filled with mixed emotions. Yu Mo carried Yan Dan back to her room to rest. Tangzhou poured out the brewed "As You Wish" wine and took it to Liu Weiyang.

Liu Weiyang felt that Tangzhou was very much like an old acquaintance of hers. They both showed such benevolence to the world, speaking of righteousness and responsibility for the common people, and were keen on meddling in matters across the Three Realms and four directions. It was just that Tangzhou had a bit more human touch. Liu Weiyang advised Tangzhou to drink the "As You Wish" wine with her to retrieve his past memories.

Tangzhou politely refused, saying he wanted to let go of the past and just cherish the present. Liu Weiyang promised that after drinking this bowl of wine, she would tell them everything they wanted to know tomorrow. Liu Weiyang had recognized long ago that Tangzhou was Ying Yuan, but she hadn't said it to his face. Yu Mo invited Tangzhou to have tea together. He suggested that they could each ask three questions. Yu Mo asked first.

He felt that Tangzhou setting up the Bu Li Lock on Yan Dan was not to control demons, but out of selfish motives. Tangzhou tacitly agreed. He wanted to know if Yu Mo's beloved was Yan Dan. Yu Mo admitted this without hesitation. He felt that Tangzhou's reluctance to take the Memory Awakening Pearl was because he didn't want to lose Yan Dan. Tangzhou also admitted it.

He wanted to know if Yu Mo had confessed his feelings to Yan Dan. Yu Mo splashed tea and denied it. Yu Mo's third question was whether Tangzhou, having gathered the four divine artifacts, would send Yan Dan away. Just as Tangzhou was about to answer, he became drowsy. Yu Mo also felt dizzy and lightheaded, and fell asleep on the table. Yan Dan had put medicine in the tea beforehand. She arrived shortly after and saw both of them asleep on the table.

Episode 37 Recap

Tangzhou groggily woke up and found Yan Dan expressionlessly searching his body, finally taking the lotus petal. Tangzhou mistakenly thought Yan Dan wanted to leave him, feeling dejected. He struggled to get up to kiss Yan Dan but was knocked unconscious on the spot by Yan Dan. Yan Dan searched Tangzhou and found the divine artifact Chou Mo, then revealed her true form. It turned out that all of this was carefully designed by Liu Weiyang.

He drugged Tangzhou and Yu Mo's tea, and then stole Chou Mo while Tangzhou was asleep. Yan Dan was troubled by love. Her thoughts lingered on Tangzhou, preventing her from settling down to continue writing "Records of the Mortal World". Yan Dan repeatedly reminded herself that Tangzhou had someone he yearned for in his dreams, and he had to return to the Heavenly Realm after completing his trial, at which point they would still be separated.

Yan Dan forced herself to calm down and diligently write her dramatic scripts. Fairy Yingdeng killed all the Flower Demons of the Flower Spirit tribe and absorbed their demonic essence one by one. Her spiritual energy greatly increased. Fairy Yingdeng swore that from now on, she would never again bow down to Tangzhou. Tangzhou, Yan Dan, and Yu Mo went to find Liu Weiyang early in the morning and discovered he was already gone.

The "As You Wish" wine on the table was untouched. Tangzhou then realized that everything that happened last night was Liu Weiyang's doing. Yan Dan wondered why Liu Weiyang hadn't drunk the "As You Wish" wine. Yu Mo thought Liu Weiyang just wanted to use them to get Chou Mo. Tangzhou called the Earth God over. Yan Dan deliberately revealed Li Chen. The Earth God recognized it as Sovereign Lord Zhaosheng's divine artifact at a glance and was greatly impressed.

Yan Dan lied, claiming the three of them were superior deities from the Heavenly Realm on a secret inspection tour and asked the Earth God to bring out the county annals. The Earth God handed it to her without a word. Yan Dan instructed the Earth God to brew a pot of good tea and bring it over.

Yan Dan eagerly opened the county annals and found that Sovereign Lord Changsheng, in order to kill the Demon King, sealed the Demon Aspect with Chou Mo, cutting off the Demon King's power supply. Yan Dan was greatly puzzled. Liu Weiyang could absorb the power of myriad demons from the Demon Aspect, so why did he go to such lengths to steal Chou Mo?

Tangzhou learned from the young immortal who saved him that Chou Mo could give life to all things and revive withered trees. Yu Mo believed Liu Weiyang wanted to use Chou Mo to awaken the Demon King, or even all the demons who died in the Immortal-Demon War, and then reignite the war against the Heavenly Realm.

Yan Dan found that the Eye of Myriad Demons was passed down through generations, complementing the Demon Aspect, capable of absorbing the power of myriad demons, and embedded in the Demon King's body, inseparable unless he died. Only the Demon King's blood could break it. Yu Mo recognized the Eye of Myriad Demons as the mark on Liu Weiyang, confirming that Liu Weiyang was the Demon King.

However, the portrait of the Demon King in the county annals only showed half a face. The Earth God happened to come with a pot of tea. Yan Dan asked her about the Demon King's facial features. The Earth God had also never seen his true face. Yu Mo asked the Earth God to describe the entire process of the Immortal-Demon War in detail. The fuse of the Immortal-Demon War was the death of immortal envoy Tao Ziqi.

The Demon King had long harbored the ambition to unify the six realms. He deliberately made Tao Ziqi fall in love with him, and when the time was ripe, he framed Tao Ziqi for attempting to assassinate him. The Demon King used the excuse that the Immortal Realm had broken the peace of the six realms and launched the Immortal-Demon War based on this reason. The Demon King also executed Tao Ziqi as a sacrifice.

The Immortal-Demon War ended with the complete defeat of the demon tribe. The dead were piled up into a mountain of bones and sealed in the River of Oblivion. Since then, little territory was left for the demon tribe. Fairy Yingdeng came to the River of Oblivion to summon nether power, wanting to use the Fire of Burning Heart to repair her artifact spirit. Fairy Yingdeng was solely focused on revenge.

Disregarding warnings and risking backlash, she endured the searing pain in her heart to repair the artifact spirit within her body. Fairy Yingdeng swore to make Yan Dan and Tangzhou suffer a hundredfold. Yu Mo and Tangzhou agreed that the two of them would go to the River of Oblivion to find Liu Weiyang, not wanting Yan Dan to join them on the dangerous trip. They specifically prepared a farewell banquet. Yan Dan insisted on living and dying with them.

Tangzhou worried she would be a burden. Yan Dan claimed she cultivated diligently every day and would absolutely not cause them trouble. Tangzhou had to admit that this trip was fraught with danger and they might not return, asking Yan Dan to go back to the Heavenly Realm to inform others. Yan Dan used the excuse that she was a demon and had the Earth God deliver the message, insisting on going with them.

Tangzhou and Yu Mo drugged Yan Dan's wine. Yan Dan quickly became drowsy. The two of them secretly went to the River of Oblivion. Yan Dan followed afterward. She had long seen through their plan and wanted to save the common people together with them. Malevolent spirits guarded the entrance to the River of Oblivion. Tangzhou wanted to subdue the malevolent spirits first to cover their entry into the River of Oblivion.

Yu Mo worried that the demonic creatures would seize the opportunity to escape and reminded him not to eliminate all of the malevolent spirits. The malevolent spirit spewed a cloud of poison gas. Yan Dan quickly covered Tangzhou's mouth and nose. Tangzhou desperately struggled to break free and attack the malevolent spirit. Yan Dan covered his mouth and nose again. Tangzhou's spell ring showed a reaction, and the Chenhua hairpin on Yan Dan's head also moved with it.

Yu Mo saw from afar that the two of them were moved by each other. Yan Dan loudly called Yu Mo for help. Yu Mo effortlessly dispelled the malevolent spirit that had trapped them. Yu Mo, Tangzhou, and Yan Dan successfully entered the River of Oblivion. They saw many people holding netherflame lanterns crossing the river. Yan Dan felt like she had been here before. Yu Mo quickly motioned for them to continue forward.

In front of them was a large rift. Yan Dan had heard the Earth God say that a Sovereign Lord once cleaved through a mountain to save a fairy, leaving behind this spotless rift. Yan Dan was very curious about their epic love story. Tangzhou felt a sharp pain in his chest. Yu Mo quickly interrupted Yan Dan and urged her to get to the mountain of bones as quickly as possible.

Yan Dan, Tangzhou, and Yu Mo arrived at the mountain of bones. Liu Weiyang had been waiting for a long time. He admitted that he was the Demon King Xuan Xiang and wanted to use Chou Mo to summon back Tao Ziqi's soul. Yu Mo thought that he killed Tao Ziqi back then and now wanted to revive her just to threaten the Heavenly Realm with this.

Liu Weiyang claimed that Tao Ziqi was the only one who didn't treat him as the Demon King but as Xuan Xiang. He would never kill Tao Ziqi; that was Shuo Hua acting in his guise using puppet. To prove his words, Liu Weiyang opened his memories. Liu Weiyang became the Demon King, the leader of the demon tribe, due to family inheritance.

However, because he was indifferent to fame and fortune and had no ambition for war, he was sidelined by the demon tribe Elders. Liu Weiyang thought his laissez-faire rule could bring peace to the demon tribe, but unexpectedly, the Elders fought among themselves, leading to immense suffering among the demon tribe's people. Tao Ziqi came to the demon tribe's territory and saw children whose relatives were captured in the war whipping a statue of the Demon King.

She quickly stopped to persuade them, strongly speaking favorably of the Demon King, and promised to rescue their relatives. Liu Weiyang witnessed this scene and also came masked to rescue the captured people. He and Tao Ziqi became fast friends at first sight. Shuo Hua heard the news and rushed over with troops. Although Tao Ziqi revealed her identity as a Heavenly Realm envoy, he didn't back down and mercilessly attacked Tao Ziqi.

Liu Weiyang rescued Tao Ziqi, and the two developed feelings for each other. Tao Ziqi learned of Liu Weiyang's determination for peace among the six realms and advised him to explain the truth to the Heavenly Realm. Liu Weiyang didn't want to be the Demon King of the demon tribe and wanted to fly away with Tao Ziqi as a couple.

He took out the Eye of Myriad Demons, split it in half, and gave one half to Tao Ziqi as a token of love, intending to go to the Nine Heavens to propose marriage the next day. Liu Weiyang woke up early the next morning and found Tao Ziqi gone.

Shuo Hua, holding the complete Eye of Myriad Demons, showed it to him to demonstrate his power, threatening that after unifying the six realms, he would let him and Tao Ziqi leave freely. Liu Weiyang was thereafter confined in the Demon King's Palace. Shuo Hua used puppet to impersonate the Demon King and initiate the Immortal-Demon War. The demon tribe ended in defeat.

Sovereign Lord Changsheng suppressed the Demon Aspect with Chou Mo, and most of the demon realm's territory was razed to the ground. Liu Weiyang only learned before losing his memory that Shuo Hua had used puppet to impersonate him and kill Tao Ziqi. He was heartbroken. Before her death, Tao Ziqi still believed Xuan Xiang had killed her. Liu Weiyang knew he couldn't revive Tao Ziqi by himself.

He had already set up a life-and-death array when Yan Dan, Tangzhou, and Yu Mo read his memories, wanting them to help him revive Tao Ziqi. If they disagreed, everyone would perish together. Liu Weiyang used the Purple Swan hairpin on Tao Ziqi's head to search for her remains. Yu Mo, Yan Dan, and Tangzhou searched separately on the high mountain of bones. Yan Dan suddenly slipped and fell.

Tangzhou rushed forward without hesitation to save her, and the spell ring on his wrist reacted again. Tangzhou endured the stabbing pain and held onto Yan Dan. Yan Dan urged him to let go, otherwise his injury would get worse, but Tangzhou refused to let go even if it meant death.

Episode 38 Recap

Liu Weiyang quickly found the purple swan hairpin on the mountain of bones. He was ecstatic. He immediately took out Chou Mo. Tangzhou and Yu Mo joined forces to help Liu Weiyang revive Tao Ziqi. Tangzhou's physical strength gradually gave out due to his injuries, so Yan Dan assisted. After everyone's unremitting efforts, Tao Ziqi was finally revived. Liu Weiyang was extremely excited. Liu Weiyang tightly embraced Tao Ziqi, repeatedly explaining that he did not kill her.

Tao Ziqi had known for a long time that it wasn't him; although that person had transformed into his appearance, Tao Ziqi could tell from his eyes that the person wasn't Liu Weiyang. When she learned that she had been in the River of Oblivion for nine hundred years, she couldn't wait to ask about the outcome of the Immortal-Demon War. Liu Weiyang explained that the Immortal Realm achieved the final victory.

Although he failed to prevent the war, from now on, they could live a free and unrestrained life. Tangzhou's spell ring reacted unusually again. Yan Dan knew that Tangzhou's heart had stirred for her. She no longer cared about the fate of the person in Tangzhou's dreams and decided to face Tangzhou's feelings. Liu Weiyang thanked Yan Dan and the other two for saving them.

Yan Dan wanted to write the story of Liu Weiyang and Tao Ziqi into a dramatic script and invited them to watch the performance. Tao Ziqi fainted due from lack of physical strength. She had just regained her human form, and her soul had been trapped on the mountain of bones for too long. Liu Weiyang wanted to wait for Tao Ziqi to wake up before taking her away from the River of Oblivion.

Yan Dan saw that Tao Ziqi's face also had the greenish spots she had previously had, concluding that she had also been here before losing her memory. Yan Dan came to the River of Oblivion overnight to search for clues. Tangzhou followed her. The two of them sat on a small boat on the River of Oblivion, both feeling that this place seemed familiar. Yan Dan remembered seeing this place when she was in the Demon Aspect.

She carried a netherflame lantern and crossed the river, feeling cold and hungry. Yan Dan felt that no one would endure such pain just to retain memories. Tangzhou picked up a netherflame lantern; he firmly believed that some people would not forget their past even if they were consumed by burning fire.

Yan Dan asked Tangzhou to carry a netherflame lantern and walk around the River of Oblivion, perhaps he could remember the person in his dreams and also know how he had let her down. Tangzhou believed that Yan Dan was also a person without memories. If Yan Dan didn't care about the past, he could also not care. Tangzhou looked at Yan Dan affectionately. Yan Dan was very flustered.

Tangzhou was the future sect leader of Lingxiao Sect, while she was just a mischievous lotus spirit; they could never be together. Yan Dan just wanted to know if Tangzhou's spell ring reacted because of her. Before Tangzhou could answer, the netherflame lantern in his hand suddenly exploded. He couldn't control himself and, fearing he would hurt Yan Dan, told her to leave quickly. Yan Dan refused. She rushed forward to help Tangzhou breathe.

Tangzhou knew Yan Dan was the one he loved in his heart, but alas, their love was deep but their fate was shallow, and they would eventually part. He only wished that their past would dissipate and hoped Yan Dan could be free and happy. Tangzhou couldn't help but kiss Yan Dan. Yan Dan was moved, and the two kissed passionately.

Yan Dan remembered all her past events and recognized that Tangzhou in front of her was Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan, the one she deeply loved and remembered in the Heavenly Realm. Yan Dan was both surprised and delighted. Tangzhou didn't know that Yan Dan had recovered her memory and thought he had offended her while he was disoriented earlier, so he repeatedly apologized to her. Fairy Yingdeng, hiding nearby, witnessed this scene.

She was furious and used all her spiritual power to kill Yan Dan and Tangzhou. Tangzhou and Yan Dan desperately resisted. Tangzhou was severely injured. Yan Dan didn't dare to stay and fight and quickly took him to escape. Fairy Yingdeng pursued them relentlessly. Tangzhou struggled to take out his immortal spirit and attacked Fairy Yingdeng, finally fainting. Yan Dan angrily denounced Fairy Yingdeng's actions.

Fairy Yingdeng scoffed at her, threatening to take Tangzhou's immortal spirit and make them both die together. Yan Dan questioned Fairy Yingdeng why she was so relentless both in the Heavenly Realm and the mortal realm. Fairy Yingdeng was very surprised, not expecting Yan Dan to have recovered her memory. Yan Dan reminded her not to torture herself so much for someone who didn't love her and advised her to be clear-headed.

Fairy Yingdeng remained stubborn and wanted to perish together with them. Fairy Yingdeng used all her spiritual power to attack. Yan Dan discovered the demonic energy of the Flower Spirit tribe within it. Fairy Yingdeng claimed she had killed all the flower demons of the Flower Spirit tribe, and all of this was Yan Dan's doing. Yan Dan was so angry she gritted her teeth.

She fought fiercely with Fairy Yingdeng and knocked her to the ground using Immortal Realm immortal techniques. Fairy Yingdeng still wanted to make a last-ditch effort but was defeated by Yan Dan and lost all her spiritual power. Fairy Yingdeng was heartbroken. Because of the Sovereign Lord, her love turned to hate, and she ultimately ended up neither human nor demon, perishing into ashes. After saying these words, Fairy Yingdeng vanished into thin air.

Liu Weiyang temporarily suppressed Tangzhou's overflowing immortal power using Demon King energy. However, Tangzhou's immortal robe was severely damaged. Only by finding the fourth divine artifact could they repair the immortal robe and restore his immortal power. Yan Dan decided to save Tangzhou by herself and told Yu Mo and Liu Weiyang to go back and rest. Yu Mo was worried, so Yan Dan told him to make some late-night snacks.

Yan Dan endured the pain and used her heart's blood to save Tangzhou. She had already remembered Tangzhou, but Tangzhou couldn't remember her, which made Yan Dan feel very disappointed. Tangzhou finally woke up, eager to know what Yan Dan had done to him. Yan Dan casually explained that she had only used a few flower petals. Yan Dan got up and wanted to leave, almost falling due to physical exhaustion.

Tangzhou quickly supported Yan Dan and discovered that Yan Dan had saved him with her heart's blood, feeling uneasy. Tangzhou also found that Yan Dan only had half a heart and persistently asked about the whereabouts of the other half. Yan Dan didn't want to answer and hurried away, dragging her weak body. Yu Mo brought Yan Dan late-night snacks.

Yan Dan used the excuse that she had used up her energy and spiritual power while saving Tangzhou earlier and wanted to rest early. Yu Mo wanted to know how she had saved Tangzhou. Yan Dan lied, claiming she had only used a few flower petals. Liu Weiyang personally brewed medicinal soup and brought it to Tao Ziqi. Tao Ziqi asked him about the whereabouts of the Ming Yan tribe during the Immortal-Demon War.

Liu Weiyang could only tell her that the Ming Yan tribe had fallen into an ambush, leaving no remains. Tao Ziqi was very heartbroken. Gripping the purple swan hairpin in her hand, she was in agony. This hairpin was given to her by her teacher, Star Deity JiDu, when she had just ascended to the immortal rank, representing the Immortal Realm's trust in her.

Tao Ziqi had never betrayed the Immortal tribe, yet she personally handed her mistake to Shuo Hua, becoming the instigator of the Immortal-Demon War. Tao Ziqi felt that she and Liu Weiyang could never go back to how they were before. What separated them was not life and death, but the lives of tens of thousands of immortal tribesmen. Tao Ziqi desperately pleaded with Liu Weiyang to let her go.

Liu Weiyang promised to talk about it once she felt better. Yan Dan came to the River of Oblivion again. She picked up a netherflame lantern, wanting to cross the river again and completely forget the grievances and affections between her and Ying Yuan from their past and present lives. Yi Zang arrived in time to stop her. Yan Dan had accompanied him for eight hundred years, and he considered Yan Dan his only friend.

He told Yan Dan the complete truth of what happened back then. From his memories, Yan Dan saw that the agarwood incense burner had not been destroyed, and Ying Yuan had personally erased their memories. Yi Zang returned the Xiaomeng Butterfly cocoon to Yan Dan. Ying Yuan had not destroyed the cocoon back then but had put it away using an illusion spell.

When Ying Yuan came to accompany Yan Dan across the river, he dropped this item into the river water during a fight, and Yi Zang kept it. The cocoon in Yi Zang's hand transformed into a Xiaomeng Butterfly. Yi Zang remembered that ancient texts recorded that the Xiaomeng Butterfly could only break out of its cocoon when it sensed true love.

Yan Dan remembered that Ying Yuan had said the Xiaomeng Butterfly would only break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly when it sensed that the roots of love were severed. She didn't expect that Ying Yuan had been lying to her all along. Even though he had her in his heart, he still chose the common people of the world. Yan Dan decided to let go of Ying Yuan.

Even if she couldn't forget, she would sever all romantic ties and feelings. She swore that from now on, she would never love Ying Yuan again and would only live for herself. Yan Dan resolutely left the River of Oblivion and walked towards a new path in life. Tangzhou's immortal body was shattered, his life hanging by a thread. Everyone embarked on the journey again to find the last divine artifact.

The Supreme Majesty's return to his position was just around the corner. Ying Yuan would ultimately unveil the mystery of his birth and bloodline, reveal the true identity of the hidden attacker, and solve the mystery of the Immortal-Demon War.

Episode 39 Recap

Previous summary: During the Immortal-Demon War, the Nine Heavens annihilated the demon tribe's traitors but paid a heavy price, resulting in the demise of superior deities, the loss of the four divine artifacts in the mortal realm, and Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan revealing his Asura Totem bloodline, making his identity a mystery. To seek the truth, Ying Yuan descended to the mortal realm to undergo trials, losing both memory and immortal power.

He was pursued by a mysterious person, ultimately losing all his immortal spirit, which could only be repaired by the four divine artifacts. After many twists and turns, Ying Yuan has now found the Seven Luminaries Divine Jade, Lichen, and Chou Mo, three divine artifacts. With just the last divine artifact, Ying Yuan can successfully complete his trials and return to the immortal ranks.

He has wandered through the three realms, experiencing two lifetimes, but has never been able to let go of the figure that haunts his dreams. The love was deep but fate was shallow in the past; he only wishes it wouldn't repeat. Yan Dan used her heart's blood to save Tangzhou. Liu Weiyang taught Tangzhou immortal techniques. Tangzhou absorbed the three divine artifacts into her body, and the fissure soul ailment gradually improved.

Liu Weiyang and Tangzhou became good friends who could talk about anything. Tao Ziqi would leave after she recovered from her injuries. Liu Weiyang decided to make Tao Ziqi stay. Tangzhou felt that Liu Weiyang had sacrificed too much for love. Liu Weiyang was willing; she had no desire for war, nor did she want to be a Demon King. She only wanted to spend her life with Tao Ziqi.

But Tao Ziqi dared not face this relationship due to guilt. Liu Weiyang decided to keep her at any cost. Liu Weiyang saw that Tangzhou deeply loved Yan Dan but dared not say it. Tangzhou was not his own master; he was the future sect leader of Lingxiao Sect and had to sever all ties of love and emotion. Moreover, he and Yan Dan were of different kinds—a human and a demon (or lotus spirit)—they could only be worlds apart.

Liu Weiyang felt that love could transcend any limitation, and that human life was short; once lost, it could never be found again. Liu Weiyang advised Tangzhou to bravely pursue the one she loved, or she would regret it later. Tangzhou immediately decided to go find Yan Dan and express his feelings. Tangzhou came to confront Yu Mo. Yu Mo advised him to think twice.

Even if he didn't care about the difference between humans and demons, his fellow disciples wouldn't accept Yan Dan. If Tangzhou completed his trials and returned to the Heavenly Realm, how would Yan Dan fare? Tangzhou didn't want to have any regrets and swore that no matter what his identity was, he would protect Yan Dan well. Yu Mo warned him not to hurt Yan Dan, or he would never forgive him.

Yu Mo also harbored a bit of selfishness; the reason he didn't stop Tangzhou was that he wanted to see how Yan Dan would choose and confirm if he was just a dependency in Yan Dan's heart. Yan Dan was strolling in Zhucui. Tangzhou found her shortly after. He decided not to be the sect leader of Lingxiao Sect and wanted to live for himself for once. He expressed his feelings to Yan Dan, wanting to protect her well.

Before Tangzhou could finish, Yan Dan interrupted him, wanting to know how he would treat the woman in his dreams. Tangzhou no longer wanted to think about those past events and only wanted to cherish the person in front of him. Tangzhou threw away the Memory-Waking Bead that Chaoyan had given him and picked up a meteor to give to Yan Dan. Yan Dan thought all of this was fake; she no longer believed Tangzhou.

They were impossible, and she would no longer like Tangzhou. Then she left without looking back. Tangzhou watched Yan Dan's receding figure, feeling unspeakably pained. His spell ring reacted unusually again. Tangzhou endured the piercing pain, letting the blood slowly flow from his wrist. The demon-suppressing chain in the Demon Subduing Hall of Lingxiao Sect and Tangzhou's spell ring could sense each other. Recently, the demon-suppressing chain vibrated frequently, making Qin Qi worry that Tangzhou was in danger.

Tangzhou returned disappointed after his confession failed. Yu Mo had long guessed this outcome. He personally roasted a chicken to help Tangzhou relieve his stress. Liu Weiyang also roasted one for Tao Ziqi. Yu Mo asked Liu Weiyang about the difference between puppetry and disguise techniques. She learned that puppetry is a top-tier magic art in the Demon Realm, which can not only mimic someone's appearance but also their physique and voice exactly.

This technique can only be controlled by Liu Weiyang and a few Elders. Yu Mo felt that Celestial Deity Beiming and the three Sovereign Lords died mysteriously. The Immortal-Demon War seemed like a victory for the Immortal Realm, but the Immortal Realm paid a heavy price, and the Demon Realm was also devastated. Yu Mo couldn't figure out who benefited from it. Liu Weiyang was also completely baffled.

Following Liu Weiyang's suggestion, Tangzhou changed into an Immortal Realm outfit to see Yan Dan and invited her to play a game of chess. Yan Dan couldn't help but think of the cold and heartless Ying Yuan. She flatly refused and forbade Tangzhou from wearing this outfit again, threatening to burn it every time she saw it. Tangzhou repeatedly explained that Liu Weiyang helped her choose it and that the agarwood hairpin was a testament to their fate.

Yan Dan, in a fit of pique, destroyed the agarwood hairpin on the spot. Tangzhou was heartbroken and wanted to know if Yan Dan had ever felt a trace of affection for him. Yan Dan flatly denied it. She would leave Shenxiao Palace tomorrow and asked Tangzhou to take the Bu Li Bracelet, stating that they should never meet again from then on.

Tangzhou didn't want Yan Dan to leave, but Yan Dan had made up her mind and forced him to unlock the Bu Li Bracelet. Tangzhou took the opportunity to pull Yan Dan into his arms. Yan Dan struggled desperately. Tangzhou tearfully removed the Bu Li Bracelet. Tangzhou wanted to continue being friends with Yan Dan. Yan Dan strongly opposed it and even set the Bu Li Lock to a distance of twenty steps, forbidding Tangzhou from getting close to her.

Yan Dan admitted that she had recovered her memory; Tangzhou was the Sovereign Lord of the Heavenly Realm, while she was just a small immortal attendant. Tangzhou would return to the Heavenly Realm sooner or later. Tangzhou didn't want to be a celestial being; he just wanted to stay in the mortal realm and stay with Yan Dan forever.

Yan Dan said she had been waiting for him to say those words on the small boat in the River of Oblivion, but now it was too late; Yan Dan was completely disheartened. For Tangzhou, as a mortal, to say this, and then when he became the high and mighty Sovereign Lord, everything would change. Tangzhou swore that whether he was Tangzhou or Ying Yuan, he would choose Yan Dan. Yan Dan didn't believe him at all and left resolutely.

Yu Mo saw this scene from afar, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He had wanted to stay with Yan Dan in the mortal realm for a lifetime, but he didn't expect Yan Dan and Ying Yuan to meet again and for her to recover her memory. He was ultimately one step too late. It began to rain heavily. Yan Dan was drowning her sorrows in the room with alcohol. Tangzhou guarded outside the door in the rain.

His spell ring reacted unusually again; waves of piercing pain assaulted him, but he endured them. Yu Mo came to chat with Yan Dan. Yan Dan didn't expect that she would fall in love with the same person in two lifetimes. She had now come to terms with it and no longer wanted to be bound by emotions. Yu Mo had no choice but to tell her the truth of what happened back then. Ying Yuan never hurt Yan Dan.

When Yan Dan went to the Heavenly Gallows for the second time, Ying Yuan asked Marshal Huode for the Book of Exemption to ensure Yan Dan would not suffer the agony of fire torture. Yan Dan was not angry about this matter; she held a grudge against Tangzhou for erasing their memories. Yu Mo recounted his experiences after leaving the Heavenly Realm to Yan Dan and persuaded her to return to the Heavenly Realm to see Zhi Xi.

Yan Dan guessed that Fairy Yingdeng's demotion was Zhi Xi's doing, which showed that Zhi Xi still cared about her. She didn't want to disturb Zhi Xi's peaceful life. Yu Mo wanted to be Yan Dan's follower. Yan Dan didn't want to implicate him and immediately removed the mark on his wrist. Yu Mo took out the contract Yan Dan had signed, forbidding Yan Dan from leaving him. But Yan Dan was determined to leave; they would go their separate ways tomorrow. Tonight, they would drink until they were drunk.

Episode 40 Recap

Yan Dan, feeling bored, went to a teahouse to watch a play. She couldn't hear a word, sitting there alone, drowning her sorrows in alcohol. Yu Mo ate his fried rice one spoonful at a time, thinking about parting ways with Yan Dan tomorrow, tears flowing uncontrollably. Zi Lin, Lin Lang, Ziyan, Danshu, and Bai Ling came to find Yu Mo, who was both surprised and delighted. Yan Dan returned to her residence very late.

Tangzhou couldn't get close because of the Bu Li Lock and could only watch Yan Dan from afar. Yu Mo brought Zi Lin and others to see Yan Dan. They pleaded with Yan Dan to return to Mount Yalanshan with them. Danshu also asked Yan Dan to celebrate his birthday with him tomorrow, and Yan Dan readily agreed. Early the next morning, Yan Dan personally made longevity noodles.

Bai Ling cut small figures of the few of them out of red paper to give to Danshu. Yan Dan couldn't help but think of the small figures she cut with Tangzhou, feeling a mix of emotions. Yan Dan forced a smile and celebrated Danshu's birthday, which Yu Mo observed entirely. After the meal, Yan Dan hurried to the pier, preparing to leave.

Yu Mo followed closely behind, trying to persuade Yan Dan to stay again, but Yan Dan was determined to leave. Yu Mo gave her the Alien Eye for self-defense. Yan Dan knew how important the Alien Eye was to him and politely refused his kindness. In a fit of pique, Yu Mo threw the Alien Eye into the river. Without a second thought, Yan Dan jumped into the river to search for the Alien Eye.

Tangzhou was about to jump into the river to save Yan Dan when Qin Qi and his junior disciple hurried to stop him. Yan Dan found the Alien Eye and climbed onto the shore, only then did Tangzhou feel relieved. Qin Qi noticed an unusual reaction from Tangzhou's spell ring and guessed that he had feelings for Yan Dan. Qin Qi was ordered to bring Tangzhou back.

Tangzhou wanted to safely escort Yan Dan home before returning to apologize to the sect leader. Qin Qi advised Tangzhou not to go against the sect's wishes for Yan Dan, but Tangzhou had made up his mind. The junior disciple suddenly ambushed Yan Dan. Yan Dan was poisoned and fainted. Tangzhou discovered she had been poisoned by the Jade Ice Toad, a poison harmless to humans but incurable for demons. Tangzhou severely reprimanded his junior disciple.

Qin Qi forced the junior disciple to hand over the antidote and gave it to Tangzhou to save Yan Dan. Yu Mo carried Yan Dan back to their residence and stayed by her side all night. Liu Weiyang discovered that the cold energy in Yan Dan's body was heavier than before. She channeled her spiritual power into Yan Dan's body, but it quickly dissipated without effect. Yu Mo was extremely anxious.

He knew the Jade Ice Toad poison was virulent; it would make a demon's body grow cold until it turned to ice, completely incurable. Yu Mo decided to draw the Jade Ice Toad poison into his own body. Lin Lang and Zi Lin also vied to draw the poison into themselves. Yu Mo politely refused and instructed them to prepare plenty of charcoal fire. Only by melting Yan Dan's frozen body could they detoxify her and restore her demon essence.

Bai Ling rushed over with Tao Ziqi. Tao Ziqi had prepared a warming stove, but one was far from enough. Tao Ziqi suggested going to Wuya Cave on Mount Quju to retrieve molten flame to warm Yan Dan. Tangzhou arrived at Wuya Cave on Mount Quju. There was a raging fire that burned perpetually. He risked his life plunging into the sea of fire, scorched by the intense heat and unable to approach.

The sword spirit arrived in time to stop him, but Tangzhou didn't listen at all. He stepped through seven layers of intense fire, retrieved the molten flame, and stored it using a Sovereign Lord divine artifact. Tangzhou secretly placed the molten flame outside the Shenxiao Palace gate. Yu Mo used the molten flame to warm Yan Dan. Yan Dan's demon essence recovered, and she finally woke up. She couldn't wait to know who sent the molten flame.

Yu Mo didn't know either. He had sent Zi Lin and Lin Lang to retrieve molten flame, but someone had quietly delivered it unexpectedly. Yu Mo had already informed Zi Lin and the others to return as soon as possible. Yu Mo wanted to help Yan Dan expel the remaining cold poison from her body, but Yan Dan wanted to try doing it herself. Yan Dan recovered completely.

She accidentally overheard Zi Lin and Lin Lang talking about Yu Mo injuring his internal energy and pressed them hard for the reason. Zi Lin had no choice but to admit that Yu Mo had drawn the Jade Ice Toad poison into himself. Since Yu Mo had just retrieved the Alien Eye, his strength had not yet recovered, and the Jade Ice Toad poison made his weakened body even worse.

Yu Mo refused to take the antidote because it contained lotus leaves, which were Yan Dan's kind. Yan Dan secretly cursed Yu Mo in her heart for being foolish. Yan Dan personally brought the antidote and persuaded Yu Mo to drink it, repeatedly explaining that her kind merely lacked a few lotus leaves. Yu Mo picked up the antidote and drank it in one gulp, urging her to leave Shenxiao Palace as soon as possible.

Yan Dan decided to stay and protect the little demons in the mountain realm and also be Yu Mo's backing. Yu Mo was naturally overjoyed. Yan Dan carved a lotus mark on his wrist, vowing to protect him well. Tangzhou felt deeply comforted when he learned of this. Yan Dan and Yu Mo discussed returning to Mount Yalanshan as soon as possible. However, little demons had recently gone missing, and Yu Mo wanted to find them before leaving.

Yan Dan suggested investigating the town where the little demons disappeared. The two of them went together to bid farewell to Liu Weiyang. From afar, they saw Tao Ziqi attempting to use a Qiansi Letter to send a message. Yan Dan proactively greeted Tao Ziqi, who quickly hid the letter and led them to the study to see Liu Weiyang. Although Liu Weiyang was reluctant, she had no choice.

She bade them a fond farewell and asked them to write often. Jinghu Shuiyue was Liu Weiyang's spiritual domain, and Yu Mo usually couldn't receive letters from Mount Yalanshan. Liu Weiyang revealed that they all used Qiansi Letters specially made in Shenxiao Palace to send messages. Yan Dan stated directly that Tao Ziqi had just used a Qiansi Letter to send a message. Liu Weiyang was surprised.

Tao Ziqi repeatedly explained that she was writing to mourn deceased family members, and Yu Mo didn't ask further. Liu Weiyang decided to disband Shenxiao Palace and entrust Jinhuan Fang entirely to Fushuang. Fushuang transformed into a white-haired old woman and left after bidding farewell to Liu Weiyang. Today was New Year's Eve. Yu Mo, Zi Lin, Lin Lang, Ziyan, and Liu Weiyang gathered together to see in the New Year.

Fireworks blazed in the sky, and they each made a wish. Zi Lin and Yu Mo searched everywhere for the captured little demons. Zi Lin found a torn piece of clothing from a fight. Yu Mo remembered that Tangzhou's Celestial Master robe was made of this material. Zi Lin suspected that Tangzhou and the Lingxiao Sect disciples were working together.

Yu Mo and Tangzhou had agreed not to interfere with each other, and he firmly believed Tangzhou was a person who kept his word. Tangzhou chased after Ziyan, who had stolen a chicken. Yu Mo saw that a large piece of Tangzhou's robe corner was missing and became suspicious of him. Tangzhou explained that it was burned when he retrieved the molten flame. Yu Mo had already guessed that Tangzhou had sent the molten flame.

He just wanted to know if Tangzhou had captured the little demons. Tangzhou vehemently denied it, saying that the fabric of Celestial Master robes was all similar, and the torn piece of clothing alone couldn't confirm it was done by the Lingxiao Sect. He decided to investigate thoroughly. Yu Mo suspected that Tangzhou had been secretly following them and advised him to leave quickly because Yan Dan didn't want to see him either. Tangzhou could only leave dejectedly.

Episode 41 Recap

Today is the Lantern Festival. The streets are bustling and lively. People all walk onto the streets to admire the lanterns. The dazzling array of lanterns are colorful. Zi Lin and Lin Lang also came to admire the lanterns. They lingered, forgetting to return. Many flower petals fell from the sky, floating down around Zi Lin and Lin Lang. Zi Lin couldn't help but pull Lin Lang's hand. Lin Lang blushed intensely.

This was carefully arranged by Yan Dan and Yu Mo. They used the flower petal rain to bring Zi Lin and Lin Lang together. Yan Dan also won many water lanterns, and then she and Yu Mo accompanied Ziyan to release koi fish by the river. Yan Dan accidentally saw Tangzhou placing a water lantern into the river.

Written on the lantern was, "May peace reign across the Four Seas, bringing the spring bloom to your face, with deep dimples and light willow brows." Yan Dan remembered that when Tangzhou was still Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan, he hoped for peace in the Six Realms, and even in the mortal realm, he still cared for the people of the Four Seas. Yan Dan saw Tangzhou's lonely figure, feeling a great deal of emotion.

The sect leader personally rushed over to arrest Tangzhou and bring him back to the Lingxiao Sect, severely lecturing him. As long as he quickly severed his romantic feelings, all past offenses could be forgiven. Tangzhou preferred to suffer deeply from his emotions than to be a heartless person. He refused to admit his mistake. The sect leader became enraged out of humiliation and ordered Tangzhou to be tied to the disciplinary stake to receive sect rules punishment.

Qin Qi pleaded for Tangzhou. The sect leader forced Tangzhou to break off all romantic feelings, but Tangzhou simply refused to give in. The sect leader ordered all the disciples to ask him one by one. If Tangzhou remained stubbornly unrepentant, each person would whip him once. The senior and junior disciples dared not disobey and asked Tangzhou one by one. Tangzhou gave the same answer. They could only carry out the sect rules punishment on Tangzhou.

Tangzhou was whipped eighty-one times, but he still refused to break off all romantic feelings. The sect leader ordered him to be confined to the contemplation room. That night, Yan Dan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Remembering Tangzhou's two wishes on the water lantern, she finally understood that Tangzhou's second wish was to hope for her to smile. Danshu accidentally injured his hand while practicing sword fighting.

Yan Dan wanted to help him treat the wound, but Danshu took out the medicine he just bought and applied it. The wound quickly healed without leaving a scar. Yan Dan wanted to use this ointment to remove the scar on Yu Mo's wrist. Danshu then took her to that pharmacy. The shopkeeper claimed to be a Polygonum multiflorum spirit from the mountains and came to the mortal realm to treat people.

Yan Dan remembered that the Yanbi Pill of the flower spirit tribe could also instantly heal wounds. She asked the shopkeeper to concoct an ointment to remove old scars. The shopkeeper's ointment could only repair ordinary scars; if it was an old scar, it needed a medicinal guide. He quickly wrote it down for Yan Dan.

Yan Dan and Danshu came out of the pharmacy and ran into Dao Yuan, the senior disciple of Lingxiao Sect, and his fellow disciples passing by. Dao Yuan wanted to take Yan Dan back to see Tangzhou, but Yan Dan flatly refused. Dao Yuan recognized Danshu as the young wolf demon who was rescued and attacked him fiercely. Yan Dan desperately protected Danshu. Dao Yuan discovered that Yan Dan was also a demon.

He issued an order to capture her and bring her back to see the sect leader. Yan Dan wanted to take Danshu and escape, but Dao Yuan placed a demon-suppressing talisman on Danshu's body, making him unable to move. Yan Dan had no choice but to surrender. Many little demons from Mount Yalanshan disappeared one after another, and then there was no news of them, causing panic among the demons.

Zi Lin and Lin Lang found that a missing little demon reappeared, so they tracked him to a cave, but the trail ended there. Zi Lin heard that a ghost had appeared there. He took Yu Mo to the cave where the captured little demon was last seen. The two of them searched carefully there.

Zi Lin advised Yu Mo to return to Mount Yalanshan as soon as possible to stabilize the situation, but Yu Mo wanted to find clues first before talking about it. Yu Mo found the injured little snake demon and took out a piece of a Taoist robe corner for him to identify. The little snake demon remembered being captured by someone wearing such a Taoist robe and being held in a pitch-black room.

He learned from other captured little demons that it was the Lingxiao Sect. The people of Lingxiao Sect tormented them every day. He couldn't bear it, so he hid for over a month without eating or drinking, only then finding a chance to secretly escape. The snake demon personally saw the sect leader throw a little demon into a pill-refining furnace. Yu Mo was greatly annoyed.

Lingxiao Sect had always prided itself on being the righteous path; he didn't expect them to actually commit the act of killing demons and refining pills. Zi Lin wanted to flatten Lingxiao Sect and rescue all the little demons. Yu Mo knew how powerful Lingxiao Sect was and advised him not to act rashly. He told him to first protect the little demons in the mountain realm and then settle accounts with Lingxiao Sect.

Only upon returning did Yu Mo learn that Yan Dan and Danshu were missing. He immediately led people to search everywhere and soon found traces of a fight. Yu Mo deduced that the opponents were numerous and had demon-capturing artifacts, guessing that Yan Dan and Danshu had encountered disciples of Lingxiao Sect. Yu Mo picked up a corner of the book Yan Dan bought at the temple fair from the ground. On it was only the character "Tang".

Yu Mo knew that Yan Dan was in the habit of carrying unfinished books with her and had torn off a corner in her haste. Yu Mo knew Tangzhou was a man of his word and would never capture Yan Dan. Yu Mo repeatedly pondered the character "Tang" that Yan Dan left behind and finally understood that Lingxiao Sect came to capture her because of Tangzhou.

Yu Mo told Zi Lin and Lin Lang to return to the mountain realm to protect the other little demons, and he went to Lingxiao Sect alone to rescue them. Qin Qi rushed over to report to Tangzhou that Yan Dan had been captured and the fact that she was a demon had also been exposed. Tangzhou was burning with anxiety. Yan Dan had once saved Qin Qi, and Qin Qi didn't want to just watch her be killed.

The sect leader tied Yan Dan up and threatened to kill her. Yan Dan was not convinced. Although she was a demon, she had never done anything evil, had never seduced anyone, and had no relation whatsoever with Tangzhou. Yan Dan questioned whether the sect leader was a bloodthirsty person. The sect leader became enraged out of humiliation and used his spiritual power to severely injure Yan Dan.

Yan Dan discovered that the spiritual power he used contained evil magic, suspecting that he captured those little demons to secretly practice evil magic. She scoffed at his actions. The sect leader ordered the disciples to kill Yan Dan with the Demon-Slaying Mirror. Tangzhou arrived in time to rescue her, stating that this matter had nothing to do with Yan Dan. The sect leader condemned Tangzhou for keeping a demon by his side and deceiving the sect.

He said that his master, Tang Jiang, was seduced by a fox demon back then, and the fox demon not only stole secret manuals but also killed Tang Jiang's entire family. Tangzhou desperately defended Yan Dan, but the sect leader didn't believe him at all. He told Tangzhou to personally kill Yan Dan, and all past matters would be forgiven, and he would also inherit the position of sect leader.

If Tangzhou remained stubbornly unrepentant and refused to reflect, he would personally kill Yan Dan. Tangzhou drew his sword against him. Yan Dan thought he would choose responsibility and righteousness, just like when he was Sovereign Lord in the Heavenly Realm, and abandon her again. Yan Dan secretly vowed in her heart that she would not let Tangzhou hurt her again. Tangzhou made up his mind not to be the Lingxiao Sect leader and not to be a deity.

Yan Dan remembered Ying Yuan's heartless words at the Heavenly Gallows, reminding Tangzhou not to make vows he couldn't keep. Tangzhou's spell ring suddenly broke. He used his sword to break the iron chains on Yan Dan. Tangzhou had always thought the spell ring could restrain him, but he didn't expect that when his emotions were hard to control, the spell ring was also useless.

Tangzhou immediately dispersed his cultivation, expelling himself from the sect, and begged the sect leader to release Yan Dan. The sect leader agreed to let Tangzhou leave, but Yan Dan must stay. With a command from him, the disciples surrounded Tangzhou and Yan Dan. Tangzhou swore he would definitely take Yan Dan away. Qin Qi quickly stepped forward to speak in favor of Tangzhou. Yu Mo descended from the sky and rescued Tangzhou and Yan Dan.

Yan Dan treated Tangzhou's injuries and found that his immortal energy was almost overflowing. She complained that he didn't say so earlier. Yan Dan told Tangzhou to take the flower petals she had given him before to stop the pain, but Tangzhou was reluctant.

Episode 42 Recap

Tangzhou did not want to burden Yan Dan, so he advised her to leave quickly. Yu Mo arrived in a hurry, suspecting that Tangzhou was using a tactic of inflicting self-harm to keep Yan Dan. His immortal energy was already leaking, and he was about to dissipate his cultivation. It was impossible for Yan Dan to abandon him.

Tangzhou did not want to explain too much, he just wanted to know what heinous acts the disciples of Lingxiao Sect had committed. Yu Mo recounted everything about Sect Leader Cang Hong sending people to capture little demons to refine pills. Tangzhou completely disbelieved it, saying that Lingxiao Sect was a renowned righteous path sect and would never do such horrific things. Yan Dan confirmed that Cang Hong had used evil magic.

When she was confined in the Demon-Suppression Hall, she had left a petal imbued with the Cloud-Breaking Art for Danshu. Now Danshu was still trapped inside. Yan Dan decided to return to rescue him after resting for a bit, letting Danshu use that enchanted petal to break open the formation of the Demon-Suppression Hall. Tangzhou wanted to go with them. Yan Dan, Tangzhou, and Yu Mo returned to Lingxiao Sect again. Tangzhou opened the Demon-Suppression Hall effortlessly.

Yan Dan helped up the unconscious Danshu and found that his demon core was still intact. Cang Hong was taking pills from the pill-refining furnace. Yu Mo knocked Cang Hong to the ground. Cang Hong swallowed that pill and even intended to refine Yu Mo and Yan Dan into pills. As long as there was a steady stream of demons sent to him, he could become the first person from Lingxiao Sect to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.

Tangzhou completely saw through Cang Hong's true face. He had used Lingxiao Sect disciples to collect demon cores to cultivate evil magic and wanted to expose his wicked deeds to the world. Cang Hong couldn't help but burst into laughter. Tang Jiang had once said similar words. In a fit of rage, he had killed Tang Jiang and framed the little fox demon.

Cang Hong had instilled such ideas in Tangzhou, causing Tangzhou to deeply hate demons and vow to eradicate them completely. This was exactly what Cang Hong wanted. Yan Dan and Yu Mo vehemently condemned Cang Hong's crimes, stating that even if his scheme succeeded and he ascended to the Heavenly Realm, he would be sent to the Heavenly Gallows. Tangzhou sensed something was wrong.

Cang Hong's proactive admission was definitely not a case of a guilty conscience; he was waiting for that pill to take effect. Cang Hong's demon power greatly increased. He launched a fierce attack. Yu Mo, Tangzhou, and Yan Dan jointly struck him down. Cang Hong attacked again, but was defeated once more. In a fit of rage, he destroyed the pill-refining furnace and then fled in panic. Yu Mo and Tangzhou told Yan Dan to protect Danshu.

The two of them went together to pursue Cang Hong. Cang Hong consumed a whole bottle of pills to restore his demon power and continued to stubbornly resist. Tangzhou and Yu Mo used demon-binding chains to firmly tie down Cang Hong. Dao Yuan and Qin Qi and others rushed over upon hearing the news. They found that Cang Hong had a powerful demon core within him and were very puzzled.

Yu Mo publicly revealed Cang Hong's crime of using them to capture little demons and refine pills. Cang Hong's demon core was powerful; if he wasn't restrained by demon-binding chains, nearby living beings would suffer terribly. Cang Hong was unwilling to admit defeat just like that. He falsely accused Tangzhou of poisoning him and rallied the disciples to capture Tangzhou. Yan Dan arrived in time to testify. Cang Hong had destroyed the pill-refining furnace, wanting to eliminate evidence.

Because he had always used fire spirits to refine pills, even if a small spark was left, the spark would recognize its master. Yan Dan released the sparks she had collected, and the sparks flew directly towards Cang Hong. Seeing that the situation was lost, Cang Hong had no choice but to kneel down and beg Tangzhou to let him go. As Tangzhou was slightly distracted, Cang Hong secretly launched a hidden weapon to attack Tangzhou.

Yan Dan intervened in time to protect Tangzhou, and Cang Hong self-detonated on the spot. Tangzhou had already lost all his immortal energy and dissipated his cultivation. Coupled with this life-and-death battle against Cang Hong, he was mentally and physically exhausted and remained unconscious. Yan Dan quietly kept watch at the door. Yu Mo had already counted the remaining little demons and planned to take Yan Dan back to Mount Yalanshan after Tangzhou woke up. Tangzhou finally woke up.

Qin Qi and his fellow disciples were very happy. They didn't know what Lingxiao Sect should do next. Tangzhou asked Qin Qi to oversee the overall situation and strengthen defenses to prevent malicious evil demons from taking advantage of the situation. Yan Dan heard Tangzhou's words from outside the door and could only quietly leave. Tangzhou bid farewell to his fellow disciples. They desperately tried to keep him, but Tangzhou politely declined.

He wanted to live for himself once, and then he left without looking back. Seeing this scene, Yan Dan couldn't help but feel pity for the Sovereign Lord of the Heavenly Realm. Tangzhou could freely choose his own life, but Ying Yuan could not. Tangzhou came to pay respects at his master Tang Jiang's grave. He took out the jade gourd Tang Jiang had given him. Seeing the object reminded him of the person, and he cried heartbrokenly.

Tangzhou placed the jade gourd in front of Tang Jiang's grave and then left quietly. Yan Dan and Yu Mo followed him. Tangzhou wanted to be alone for a while, so they had to give up. Tangzhou went to a restaurant alone to drown his sorrows in alcohol. Yan Dan and Yu Mo came in to persuade him. Tangzhou was no longer a demon hunter and felt confused about his future path in life.

Tangzhou wanted to numb himself with alcohol. Yu Mo couldn't bear to watch him torment himself and used a minor trick to make him fall asleep. Yan Dan and Yu Mo escorted Tangzhou back. Yan Dan discovered that Tangzhou's physical condition was deteriorating. If they couldn't find the fourth divine artifact soon to repair his immortal energy, Tangzhou would be in mortal danger. Yu Mo felt that the emotional blow Tangzhou suffered was even more terrible.

Only by helping him break through his inner demons would he go search for the fourth divine artifact. Yan Dan wanted to search for the divine artifact with Tangzhou. After the unremitting efforts of Yu Mo and Yan Dan, Tangzhou finally woke up. He came to the inn again to get drunk. Yan Dan and Yu Mo had waited for a long time and only managed to persuade him to leave after much talking.

Yu Mo and Yan Dan caught three little mouse demons who were doing evil deeds. They severely taught them a lesson and took the opportunity to persuade Tangzhou not to blame himself. He had not aided evil; the demons he had eradicated over the years were all evil demons. Tangzhou still felt things deeply. Yan Dan told Yu Mo to give the little mouse demons a good lesson.

She bought pastries to see Tangzhou and recounted various interesting stories from when they first met, trying desperately to make him happy. Only then did Tangzhou slightly let go of his burdens. Yan Dan accidentally saw the scar on Tangzhou's wrist and asked him about it with concern. Tangzhou lied, saying he had accidentally scratched it, and Yan Dan didn't think much more about it.

Tangzhou had a nightmare and shouted for Yan Dan to leave, saying he didn't want to kill Yan Dan. Yan Dan was very moved and wanted to use hundred-flower dew to help Tangzhou sleep peacefully. Yan Dan came to the town early in the morning and visited many shops but couldn't buy any. She continued searching and finally found it at the last shop. Yu Mo came to find Yan Dan.

The two of them walked back together and ran into Qin Qi. Only then did they learn that she and the disciples of Lingxiao Sect had been entrusted by Elder Xie to capture a cat demon, but had found nothing. Elder Xie was greatly dissatisfied and cursed the disciples of Lingxiao Sect as incompetent. Yan Dan couldn't bear to listen and promised to capture the cat demon within three days.

Episode 43 Recap

Yu Mo invited Qin Qi and Dao Yuan for a meal. Yan Dan briefly asked Qin Qi about the details of the matter. The cat demon had taken a liking to Old Master Xie's daughter and wanted to marry her. Old Master Xie disagreed, so the cat demon frequently came to harass them. Old Master Xie, having no other choice, had to ask the disciples of Lingxiao Sect to capture the demon. Qin Qi had set up a demon-capturing formation.

Dao Yuan, eager to win, acted rashly and the cat demon broke the formation, resulting in a complete failure. Dao Yuan was not convinced and argued vehemently with Qin Qi. The two had a fierce quarrel. Tangzhou rushed over upon hearing the news. Qin Qi begged him to help capture the demon, otherwise the reputation of Lingxiao Sect would be completely ruined.

Dao Yuan made sarcastic remarks from the side, spoke ill of Tangzhou, and declared that whoever subdued the cat demon would be the master of Lingxiao Sect. Tangzhou said he wouldn't interfere, but his heart was filled with self-reproach, feeling that he had caused Lingxiao Sect to be leaderless. However, his cultivation had already dissipated, and he could only worry helplessly.

Yan Dan saw through his thoughts and voluntarily offered to teach him Heavenly Realm magic techniques, so he could capture the cat demon and revitalize his sect. Lingxiao Sect was struggling financially, so Qin Qi had no choice but to take the disciples to perform on the street. Local thugs came to collect protection money. Qin Qi resolutely refused. The thugs put their hands on her.

When Tangzhou saw this scene, he used a small trick to teach the thugs a lesson. They fled in panic. Qin Qi guessed that Tangzhou had helped in secret. Dao Yuan came alone to capture the cat demon and was severely injured by the cat demon. Fortunately, Tangzhou arrived in time to rescue him and knocked the cat demon to the ground. The cat demon was unwilling to admit defeat just like that and pressed them step by step.

Tangzhou and Dao Yuan teamed up to drive the cat demon away. Before leaving, the cat demon threatened to come and marry Miss Xie tomorrow. Tangzhou helped Dao Yuan back to the inn. Dao Yuan kept apologizing to him. Tangzhou knew that Dao Yuan had the righteous path in his heart, but his methods were too radical. Fellow disciples should unite to capture demons and not act independently.

Qin Qi complained that Dao Yuan should not have dismissed all the disciples. Dao Yuan brought up the matter of capturing the tiger demon last time, saying that he had already set up a formation in the back mountain, but Qin Qi and the others went to capture the demon secretly, resulting in heavy losses. The two started arguing again at the slightest disagreement.

Tangzhou hurriedly stopped them, bluntly pointing out that Qin Qi's cultivation was insufficient and Dao Yuan was not good with magical artifacts. Only by working together wholeheartedly could they succeed and protect the reputation of Lingxiao Sect. Both Qin Qi and Dao Yuan expressed their willingness to let go of their grudges. Dao Yuan admitted that Tangzhou was the best demon hunter. Previously, because of jealousy, he was unwilling to accept this fact.

He took out the jade gourd exclusive to the sect leader and asked Tangzhou to be the leader of Lingxiao Sect. Qin Qi also earnestly persuaded him from the side. Tangzhou accepted the jade gourd, claiming he needed to go back and think carefully about how to catch the cat demon, and then got up and left. Tangzhou opened the door and went out.

Yan Dan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, lost her balance, and the two of them collided. Yan Dan was very embarrassed and repeatedly congratulated Qin Qi and Dao Yuan on reconciling. Tangzhou asked her to come up with a way to catch the cat demon. Yan Dan came up with an excellent idea. The cat demon came to marry Miss Xie. Tangzhou disguised himself as the bride and ambushed him.

Yan Dan took the opportunity to subdue the cat demon. Qin Qi came in and captured the cat demon. Old Master Xie was extremely grateful to them, repeatedly praising how capable Lingxiao Sect was. Dao Yuan and Qin Qi exchanged a smile. Yan Dan helped Tangzhou remove his makeup, couldn't help but tease him, and even wanted to write his experiences today into a storybook. Tangzhou, in a fit of anger, pulled Yan Dan into the jade gourd.

Yan Dan found that today's jade gourd was different from before; it was a whole different world inside. She cheered happily. It started snowing, and snowflakes danced around them. Yan Dan and Tangzhou, on a whim, started a snowball fight. The two of them were laughing and chatting, playing and fooling around like two children. The jade gourd was tossed around by their antics and finally landed beside Yu Mo. Yan Dan and Tangzhou built two snowmen.

They lay side by side on the snow. Tangzhou wished time could stand still so they could be together forever. Yan Dan advised him to find the last divine artifact quickly to repair his immortal robes, but Tangzhou didn't think much of it. Yan Dan's vision blurred, and she mistook Tangzhou for Ying Yuan.

She enjoyed this moment of happiness very much, but her heart was clear: the Tangzhou in front of her was merely undergoing tribulation in the mortal realm and would return to the Heavenly Realm to be the Sovereign Lord sooner or later. Only after Tangzhou and Yan Dan came out of the gourd did they realize they were in Yu Mo's room.

Yan Dan seized the opportunity to complain, falsely accusing Tangzhou of repaying kindness with enmity by locking her in the jade gourd for a whole day. Tangzhou desperately defended himself. Yu Mo watched them bicker silently from the side. Qin Qi and Dao Yuan were returning to Lingxiao Sect tomorrow. Yan Dan advised Tangzhou to go back with them. Tangzhou had already left the sect and didn't want to turn back.

Yan Dan poured Tangzhou a glass of Ruyi wine; drinking it would allow him to see his true feelings clearly. After drinking the wine, Tangzhou began to doze off. Yan Dan quietly left. She admitted that she had already forgiven Ying Yuan. Yu Mo came to bring them food and accidentally overheard Yan Dan's thoughts. His heart felt sour. Yan Dan's knot in her heart had begun because of Ying Yuan, and was now completely resolved because of Tangzhou.

There was no place for him in Yan Dan's heart at all. Today was the wedding day of Tao Ziqi and Liu Weiyang. Liu Weiyang swore that from now on, her heart would hold neither demons nor the Demon King. She was willing to share life and death with Tao Ziqi and grow old together. Tao Ziqi also promised not to leave her.

Tangzhou dreamt that he and Yan Dan were confessing their feelings to each other, and suddenly both fell to the ground. Tangzhou woke up startled and prayed for Yan Dan's safety. Tangzhou had made his final decision; his heart only held Yan Dan. Yan Dan came to call Tangzhou to see off Qin Qi and Dao Yuan, etc. She specially bought pastries for them to eat on the road. Tangzhou and his fellow disciples reluctantly parted ways.

Episode 44 Recap

Zi Lin deeply loved Lin Lang, but felt he wasn't worthy of her. Lin Lang was a fox tribe princess, and he was just a little turtle. Zi Lin regretted not cultivating properly back then; if he had become the best demon in the world, he could have gained Lin Lang's father's approval. Lin Lang didn't care about any of this; she couldn't help but kiss Zi Lin, making Zi Lin incredibly happy.

Several black-clad figures suddenly descended from the sky and captured Zi Lin and Lin Lang together. Yan Dan helped Tangzhou bandage his wound and advised him on some precautions. Yan Dan wanted to know if Tangzhou had made a decision after drinking the Ruyi wine. Tangzhou finally understood that Yan Dan was the person he most wanted to protect. Yan Dan felt that the two of them were impossible.

She just wanted to help Tangzhou find the four divine artifacts to repair his immortal robes. When Tangzhou returned to the Ninth Heaven, their destiny together would end. Tangzhou wanted to learn how to brew Ruyi wine with Yan Dan, but Yan Dan refused, citing the complexity of the ingredients and method. Late at night, Yu Mo saw Yan Dan alone collecting dew in the cold night and thought she was doing it to help Tangzhou sleep soundly.

When Yan Dan came early in the morning to give Yu Mo ointment, Yu Mo realized that Yan Dan had been collecting moonlight for him last night. Yan Dan had inquired from He Shou Wu about the prescription for removing scars—Fenghua Xueyue. She had already collected the first three ingredients; moonlight was the most difficult to prepare, requiring four types of moonlight throughout the night: new moon, full moon, waxing crescent, and waning crescent.

Yu Mo was deeply moved and regretted misunderstanding Yan Dan. Bai Ling rushed to report to Yu Mo that Lin Lang and Zi Lin had suddenly disappeared. Meanwhile, an invisible beast from the East Sea Dragon Palace sent a message to Tangzhou, telling him to bring the divine artifacts to Fengquan Valley tomorrow to exchange for Lin Lang and Zi Lin, otherwise their lives would be in danger, and the entire mountain realm would suffer a devastating catastrophe.

Yan Dan was puzzled; Tangzhou had never used the three great divine artifacts, so it was impossible for outsiders to know the artifacts were on him. Yu Mo suspected the opponent was the mysterious person who led Celestial Deity Beiming and others into the demonic illusion. He had been plotting since the Creation War wiped out the Jiufi clan, and he could easily tear Tangzhou's immortal robes, suggesting he was likely a very powerful superior deity from the Heavenly Realm.

Tangzhou analyzed that the mysterious person's demonic power was strong, and the reason he didn't rashly break into the mountain realm was to avoid alarming the Heavenly Realm. Yan Dan disagreed with Tangzhou giving up the three great divine artifacts, fearing it would cause chaos in the Three Realms. It was then that Tangzhou believed he was Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan, who had descended from the Heavenly Realm to undergo tribulation.

Zi Yan hurried to find Yan Dan and Yu Mo, offering to help search for Lin Lang using the fox tribe's strong sense of smell. He hoped Yu Mo would take him to Fengquan Valley, and Yu Mo readily agreed. Yan Dan and Tangzhou sat on the rooftop chatting. Suddenly, a shooting star streaked across the sky. Tangzhou, catching her off guard, pulled off one of Yan Dan's eyebrows to make a wish.

Yan Dan, indignant, also wanted to pull one of his eyebrows. Tangzhou resisted fiercely, taking the opportunity to state his wish: he hoped Yan Dan would be as happy as before and also like him. Yan Dan felt they couldn't be together; Tangzhou would eventually return to the Ninth Heaven after his tribulation ended. Tangzhou wanted to hand over the three great divine artifacts so he wouldn't have to return to the Heavenly Realm and could stay with Yan Dan.

Yan Dan knew he, like Ying Yuan, bore an important mission and didn't want to be a burden to him. Yan Dan vowed to ensure Tangzhou's smooth return, no matter the cost. Yu Mo brought Zi Yan to Fengquan Valley and effortlessly rescued Zi Lin and Lin Lang. Zi Yan went up to hug Lin Lang but found that her scent was wrong. It turned out that Lin Lang was impersonated by a masked attendant.

He cut off Lin Lang's tail as a cover, but Zi Yan still detected it. The attendant then held Zi Yan hostage as a threat. Tangzhou arrived for the appointment on time, and the masked mysterious person arrived shortly after. Tangzhou deduced from his magic power that he was not the one who had injured him. The mysterious person claimed that person was his subordinate.

Since Liu Weiyang had taught Tangzhou the method of divine artifact integration into the body, others could not obtain the artifacts unless Tangzhou willingly handed them over. The mysterious person forced Tangzhou to hand over the three great divine artifacts, threatening to kill his friends if he didn't. Tangzhou was prepared to perish together with the mysterious person. The mysterious person pressed Tangzhou step by step, each move deadly. Yan Dan arrived in time to help; she desperately protected Tangzhou.

The mysterious person suddenly transformed into the appearance of Celestial Deity Beiming. Tangzhou knew he was using puppet magic. The mysterious person held Yan Dan hostage, forcing Tangzhou to hand over the three great divine artifacts. Tangzhou, despite Yan Dan's protests, obediently handed them over, taking the opportunity to cast a Life-Sharing Curse on the mysterious person. When the mysterious person tried to kill Tangzhou to silence him, he discovered black patterns growing in his palm.

That was the spell—the Life-Sharing Curse—that Yan Dan and Tangzhou had painstakingly researched to prevent the mysterious person from killing Tangzhou. Tangzhou and the mysterious person's lives were linked; the deeper he harmed Tangzhou, the larger the black patterns would grow. Tangzhou knew the mysterious person always acted secretly; once he returned to the Heavenly Realm with his face full of black spots, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

To break the Life-Sharing Curse, he must refrain from using immortal magic for seven days. If Tangzhou died before the curse was broken, the mysterious person's soul would also dissipate. The mysterious person didn't believe it at all and tried to kill Tangzhou, but Yu Mo arrived in time to rescue him. The mysterious person reluctantly left, threatening to come back in seven days to collect Tangzhou's corpse.

Yan Dan wanted to use the power of the lotus to restore Tangzhou's immortal power, but suddenly discovered black patterns on Tangzhou's palm. She was greatly puzzled. Yu Mo suspected the mysterious person had done something beforehand. Tangzhou remained unconscious, so Yu Mo immediately decided to send Tangzhou to Ya Lan Mountain and use the hot spring water to heal him.

Before leaving, Yu Mo summoned the Earth Deity, asking him to report everything that had just happened to the Supreme Majesty. The Earth Deity found the mysterious person's power profound and worried the message might be intercepted. Yu Mo guaranteed that the mysterious person would return to the Heavenly Realm within seven days. As long as the Earth Deity found out who intercepted the message, that person's identity would be revealed.

Zi Lin brought Tangzhou to the hot spring for healing. As soon as Tangzhou got close to Zi Lin, Zi Lin felt sick. Yu Mo suspected Zi Lin had been teased by Tangzhou in the Heavenly Realm. Tangzhou also found it strange; every time he saw Zi Lin, he wanted to pat his head.

Yu Mo concealed the fact that when Tangzhou was in the Heavenly Realm, he used to flip Zi Lin, the little turtle, over and over every day. Yu Mo and Tangzhou both remembered Liu Weiyang saying that only Liu Weiyang and a few Elders of the Demon Tribe could use puppet magic. The Elders had all died in the Immortal-Demon War. They both suspected Tao Ziqi was connected to the mysterious person.

Yu Mo invited Liu Weiyang and Tao Ziqi for a small gathering at Ya Lan Mountain, wanting to take the opportunity to probe Tao Ziqi. Yan Dan searched through ancient texts but couldn't find a way to save Tangzhou. The Fox Tribe Chief personally came to Ya Lan Mountain to demand an explanation, insisting that Yu Mo marry Lin Lang and Yan Dan marry Zi Yan.

Yan Dan tried to appease the Chief with a smile and kind words, but the Chief wouldn't relent. Zi Lin rushed over upon hearing the news. Lin Lang vowed she would only marry Zi Lin. The Chief adamantly disagreed with her marrying below her status to Zi Lin. However, Lin Lang's mind was made up, so the Chief threatened her with death. Yan Dan loudly stopped the Chief, intending to reveal the mystery of Zi Lin's background.

Episode 45 Recap

Yan Dan publicly stated that Zi Lin was not an ordinary turtle, but a divine turtle from the heavens, a disciple of Celestial Deity Beiming, who had absorbed the essence of the sun and moon from Suspended Heart Cliff. Zi Lin was greatly surprised; he didn't know his own origins either. Yan Dan took out the immortal spirit within Zi Lin as proof.

Zi Lin immediately declared that as long as the Chief married Lin Lang to him, he would willingly let Lin Lang use his immortal spirit as a ball to kick around. The Chief still refused to yield, using the excuse that the fox tribe had never had a precedent for marriage with the turtle tribe. Lin Lang didn't care at all whether Zi Lin was an immortal or not; as long as Zi Lin loved him wholeheartedly.

Zi Yan also spoke favorably for Lin Lang. The Chief reluctantly agreed, proposing to host a flowing feast with 88 tables and find a respectable superior deity to preside over the wedding. Yu Mo arrived upon hearing the news. He recommended Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan, who was undergoing tribulation in the mortal realm, to preside over the wedding. Tangzhou agreed to be the witness. The Chief pulled Lin Lang and Zi Yan to kneel, thanking Tangzhou for saving their lives.

During the Creation War back then, it was thanks to Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan's protection that the fox tribe escaped the disaster of being annihilated by the Asura Totem. In those years, the fox tribe survived by hiding from the war. After the Heavenly Realm won, they originally intended to punish and expel the fox tribe from the immortal realm, but thanks to Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan who stepped forward and preserved the fox tribe's territory.

The fox tribe's ancestral temple had always hung a portrait of Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan, and each succeeding Chief gratefully worshipped his kindness. When Tangzhou descended to undergo tribulation, he was forced to forget his past memories. He didn't remember these things, only requesting the Chief to fulfill Lin Lang and Zi Lin's marriage. The Chief readily agreed.

Not only did he cancel the flowing feast, but he also voluntarily presented a large box of the fox tribe's ten-thousand-year magical texts and treasures, asking Lin Lang to repay the kindness to Ya Lan Mountain by being hardworking and dedicated. Yan Dan wanted to search the treasures for a way to break the mysterious person's withered stone palm technique, and urged the Chief to quickly proceed with Zi Lin and Lin Lang's wedding.

Yan Dan accompanied Tangzhou to the hot spring for healing and casually flipped through the treasures sent by the Chief. Among them was a method of wiping the body with mystic ice. Tangzhou forced Yan Dan to help him wipe his body. Yan Dan was very embarrassed, but couldn't resist Tangzhou's persistent pestering, so she braced herself and complied. Yu Mo arrived shortly after. He had used this method before and it was completely ineffective.

Tangzhou insisted on giving it a try. Yu Mo placed Chao Lan's reply to Yan Dan in the Magical Pavilion, asking Yan Dan to look at it when she had time. Yan Dan had previously written to Chao Lan to inquire about a way to break the withered stone palm technique and wanted to see if Chao Lan had a good method in her reply.

Yan Dan told Tangzhou to soak well, and she went to the Magical Pavilion to read the letter. Chao Lan explained in the letter that there was no method to resolve this palm technique. A person afflicted by it would have their meridians blocked like stone, and medicine and magic power could not be injected into the body. Chao Lan advised Yan Dan not to use magic to save Tangzhou, otherwise they would both die.

Furthermore, the afflicted person would die within ten days. Yan Dan was so anxious she didn't know what to do. She carefully flipped through the magical texts and finally found eighty-one techniques for extending life in the "Tai Su Sutra". She was eager to try them on Tangzhou. Yu Mo advised her not to act rashly. Yan Dan couldn't just watch Tangzhou die like this.

Yu Mo vowed to save Tangzhou at all costs, as long as Yan Dan was happy. The sword spirit saw Tangzhou suffering greatly and couldn't bear for him to die like this, so he proactively taught him the Evernight technique. This was the mental technique left by Tangzhou's birth father, Xuan Ye. The sword spirit was under a spell and couldn't reveal Tangzhou's identity as a descendant of the Asura Totem. Tangzhou practiced diligently and quickly grasped the essentials.

The sword spirit was very pleased. Once Tangzhou cultivated the Evernight technique, this power would grow within him day by day. From then on, no one in the world could stop his Asura divine power. Xuan Ye was the Chief of the Asura Totem. He cultivated the Evernight technique by absorbing the spiritual power of captives. His subordinates brought the last batch of captives from the Spiritual Cypress tribe. Asura Totem members were inherently short-lived.

Xuan Ye wanted to use Ran Qing's Seven Luminaries Divine Jade to seize others' lives, which could grant him eternal life and ensure the Asura Totem would always be invincible. However, many people he sent were defeated by Ran Qing. Xuan Ye was unwilling to accept this and decided to go himself. He absorbed the spiritual power of the captives, but unexpectedly, Ran Qing came looking for him proactively. Lin Lang pulled Zi Lin to bring wedding cakes to Tangzhou.

Zi Lin didn't want to see Tangzhou, but he couldn't resist Lin Lang's gentle persuasion, so he had to go along. Tangzhou saw a small turtle on a stone and casually flipped him over. Zi Lin recognized Tangzhou as the immortal who used to flip him over repeatedly. He was so scared he quickly hid in a coffin. Lin Lang followed closely.

Zi Lin had no choice but to admit that Tangzhou used to flip him over every day when he was in the Heavenly Realm. Lin Lang vowed that no one would bully him again in the future. Zi Lin personally sewed a fox tail and gave it to Lin Lang. Lin Lang discovered that the bone inside was made from Zi Lin's tail. Lin Lang felt heartbroken, but Zi Lin didn't mind.

He vowed to cultivate well in the future and never let anyone cut her tail again. Lin Lang was moved to tears and couldn't help but embrace Zi Lin affectionately. Overwhelmed by emotion, they became intimate in the coffin. Tomorrow was the day of Lin Lang and Zi Lin's grand wedding. Tangzhou endured his pain and came to the wedding venue. He even simulated the wedding process on the spot as the groom.

Yan Dan dressed up as the bride to cooperate with him. Dan Shu presided over this simulated wedding. Tangzhou and Yan Dan went through the process according to the procedures. Tangzhou imagined him kissing Yan Dan, and Yan Dan kissing him back affectionately. The official wedding ceremony began. Zi Lin pulled Lin Lang over. Amidst everyone's blessings, they finished drinking the cross-cupped wine. Yan Dan asked them to thank the matchmaker. When Zi Lin saw Tangzhou, he started hiccuping.

Lin Lang quickly helped him out of the awkward situation. Tangzhou drew the divine beast from his dream as a gift for Zi Lin and Lin Lang, asking Yan Dan to help him revive the divine beast on the painting. Tangzhou pulled Yan Dan and jumped onto the divine beast, taking her to roam among the stars. Tangzhou expended a lot of immortal power, and the overflowing power scattered down.

Everyone reached out to catch it and together congratulated the Chief for hosting the most respectable wedding, praising Lin Lang for marrying well. The Chief was all smiles. Yu Mo couldn't bear to see Tangzhou continue to expend immortal power, worried that he might explode and die. He loudly called for Tangzhou to come back. Tangzhou only wanted to enjoy this beautiful time and scenery with Yan Dan.

If the mysterious person broke the Life-Sharing Curse within seven days, he would die anyway. He would rather die in Yan Dan's arms now. Tangzhou suddenly fainted because he had expended too much immortal power.

Episode 46 Recap

The artifact Dizhi was once used by Ying Yuan. It was accidentally lost in the mortal realm during the war between immortals and demons. This artifact has always been elusive, yet it can stop landslides and ruin fertile fields. The mysterious person quickly discovered that Dizhi and Ying Yuan were both in Ya Lan Mountain, so he discussed with Star Deity Tai You and Ling Jiang to get the artifact before Ying Yuan.

If Ying Yuan obtained it first, a conflict would inevitably occur. The mysterious person, afflicted with the Life-Sharing Curse, worried about Ying Yuan's safety, as it would mean his own demise. The mysterious person immediately sent Ling Jiang down to the mortal realm to kill Ying Yuan when the seven-day deadline arrived; otherwise, all their years of planning would be in vain.

Ling Jiang declared that if he failed to kill Ying Yuan, he would take his own life to atone. The mysterious person weighed his options repeatedly and decided to have Zhi Xi descend to retrieve Dizhi. Star Deity Tai You reported to Supreme Majesty that Dizhi was in the hands of demons in Ya Lan Mountain, falsely accusing them of being rebellious elements plotting mischief.

Celestial Deity Yueyao publicly raised doubts, stating she had long heard that the demon realm in Ya Lan Mountain was well-governed and did not interfere with mortals. If they rashly entered the mountain realm to retrieve Dizhi, it would inevitably cause uncontrollable situations like landslides and ground fissures. Supreme Majesty sought Zhi Xi's opinion. Zhi Xi volunteered to retrieve Dizhi, guaranteeing that she would not damage the appearance of Ya Lan Mountain.

Lu Ming wanted to tell Zhi Xi about Yan Dan being in Ya Lan Mountain, but Star Deity Tai You suddenly stopped him and told him to go back and serve Supreme Majesty. Lu Ming had no choice but to keep quiet. Zhi Xi saw that Star Deity Tai You had deliberately sent Lu Ming away and wanted to know what matter he had.

Star Deity Tai You pretended to care but was actually threatening and intimidating Zhi Xi, bringing up her gouging out her heart to save Ying Yuan and framing her own sister Yan Dan. He asserted that Zhi Xi was hopelessly devoted to Ying Yuan. Zhi Xi was impatient and didn't want to hear him gossip about the deceased Ying Yuan.

Star Deity Tai You reminded Zhi Xi not to be misled by the demons in Ya Lan Mountain, or her efforts over the years would be ruined. Tangzhou was afflicted by the mysterious person's Withered Stone Palm, causing all his meridians to be blocked. Medicine and spiritual power could not be injected into his body.

Yu Mo discovered that almost all of Tangzhou's immortal power had spilled out of his body, and he would die from an immortal spirit explosion within a day. Yan Dan wanted to use the ninety-nine eighty-one techniques from the Tai Su Sutra to save Tangzhou. Yu Mo was worried that Tangzhou's overflowing immortal power would harm Yan Dan, but Yan Dan was determined. Yan Dan disregarded the danger to heal Tangzhou, resulting in severe damage to her spiritual power.

Yu Mo couldn't bear to watch and intervened in time to stop her. Yan Dan insisted on trying again. Yu Mo couldn't persuade her and had to let go. Yan Dan used all her spiritual power to save Tangzhou, but ended up spitting blood and falling to the ground. Yu Mo quickly picked her up. Zhi Xi quickly arrived at Ya Lan Mountain and detected that Dizhi was indeed there.

She remembered Lu Ming's half-finished reminder and suspected there was something strange in the mountain, deciding to investigate personally. Ling Jiang saw this scene and revealed a subtle cold smile. Zhi Xi suddenly saw Tangzhou healing in the hot spring water. She was overjoyed, having not expected Tangzhou to still be alive. Zhi Xi detected Tangzhou's immortal power overflowing, worried about his immortal spirit exploding, and attempted to use her immortal power to save him, but it was futile.

Only then did Zhi Xi realize Tangzhou was afflicted by the Withered Stone Palm. She had no choice but to first use Spirit Cleansing Paste to stabilize the immortal power within him. Yan Dan came to see Tangzhou. Zhi Xi was startled and quickly hid to the side, accidentally dropping the bottle of stardust she was carrying. Yan Dan guessed that Zhi Xi had been there and quickly searched around. Yan Dan chased to the riverbank.

Zhi Xi hid, not daring to show herself. Yan Dan pretended to jump into the river. Zhi Xi quickly reached out to save her. The sisters were reunited after a long separation, and their excitement was evident. Zhi Xi repeatedly apologized to Yan Dan, saying that ever since the day Yan Dan jumped off Wuqiao, she had felt half-dead herself.

Since then, every day she had endured humiliation, diligently cultivating, and returning the pain Yan Dan suffered a hundredfold to Fairy Yingdeng. Zhi Xi admitted that her momentary lapse in judgment had caused Yan Dan to become completely disillusioned and jump off Wuqiao. She took out the Broken Beak Dagger and allowed Yan Dan to punish her. This dagger, once plunged into the body, would injure the bone marrow and cause pain for a hundred years.

As long as it could help Yan Dan let go of her hatred, Zhi Xi was willing to accept any punishment. Yan Dan had already forgiven her and declared that from then on, for them sisters, there would be no separation in life, only in death. Zhi Xi was moved to tears. The sisters embraced and cried together, vowing never to be separated again.

Yan Dan briefly recounted her complex relationship with Tangzhou to Zhi Xi and asked Zhi Xi to help find the fourth divine artifact, Dizhi. Zhi Xi had no choice but to admit that her mission for this trip was to retrieve Dizhi, and that Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan, who was undergoing tribulation in the mortal realm, could only successfully return to his position after enduring all the tribulations while preserving his immortal spirit.

Zhi Xi needed twelve hours to set up a formation in the mountain realm to search for Dizhi, but Tangzhou couldn't hold on until then. Unless Tangzhou died once first, which was the last tribulation he needed to experience. Dizhi originally belonged to Tangzhou. If Dizhi was within ten li, it would definitely return to its owner. Yan Dan finally understood: only when Tangzhou was close to death would Dizhi come to recognize him as its master.

The Withered Stone Palm poison in Tangzhou's body would naturally be resolved, he would complete all his tribulations, and could then return to the Nine Heavens. Yan Dan decided to use her remaining half-heart to save Tangzhou. She had always suspected that the superior deities in the Nine Heavens had harmed Tangzhou and firmly refused to allow Tangzhou to go back and risk his life again. Zhi Xi's desperate pleas were also useless.

Not wanting to watch Yan Dan sacrifice her life, she set up a formation and trapped Yan Dan when she was not paying attention. Ling Jiang quickly found the drowsy Tangzhou in the hot spring and wanted to see how much life he had left. He suddenly discovered an Asura Totem on Tangzhou's head. He didn't dare to rashly kill someone of his own race and quickly returned to the Heavenly Realm to report.

Zhi Xi transformed into Yan Dan and helped Tangzhou to a tree. Tangzhou woke up groggily. Zhi Xi, posing as Yan Dan, claimed that a Celestial Deity from the Heavenly Realm helped Tangzhou stabilize his immortal power and taught her the Path to Heaven. She was eager to take Tangzhou back to the Nine Heavens to repair his immortal robe and watch the stars with him. Tangzhou saw through the fake Yan Dan at a glance and drew his sword.

Yan Dan arrived in time to stop them. Knowing that her cultivation was inferior to Zhi Xi's, she pretended to be trapped by the formation Zhi Xi set up, then used the Broken Beak Dagger to break the restriction and escape. Yan Dan lied, saying she wanted to say a few words to Tangzhou. Zhi Xi had no choice but to step aside. Tangzhou expressed his love for Yan Dan and gave her his only long sword.

Yan Dan used her immortal spirit to bind Zhi Xi. She drew the sword and stabbed through Tangzhou's body, making Tangzhou pay with his life for her. From then on, they owed each other nothing. Tangzhou was willing to give his life to Yan Dan and then breathed his last.

Episode 47 Recap

Yan Dan woke up and found that Tangzhou was nowhere to be seen. Zhi Xi was still tied up by her and couldn't move from the spot. Yan Dan anxiously called out for Tangzhou. The divine artifact Dizhi suddenly flew out from the river surface. Tangzhou, who was severely injured, was rescued to the shore. He was still unconscious. Yan Dan was both surprised and overjoyed. She hadn't expected the divine artifact was hidden under the hot spring water.

Despite Zhi Xi's objections, she insisted on using her remaining half-lotus heart to save Tangzhou. Tangzhou woke up in a daze. Yan Dan wanted to return all his memories to him, and then she painfully gouged out her heart to save Tangzhou. Tangzhou tried desperately to stop her, but it was too late. Yan Dan's only remaining half-lotus heart transferred into Tangzhou's body. Tangzhou's immortal power was restored to its original state, and all his memories returned.

He remembered the unforgettable love he had with Yan Dan in the Heavenly Realm. Yan Dan felt greatly comforted seeing Tangzhou transform back into Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan of the Nine Heavens. She fainted after spitting blood due to the exhaustion of her spirit and energy. Ying Yuan remembered that the woman who had been on his mind was Yan Dan. He wanted to use immortal power to restore Yan Dan's spiritual power, but it was to no avail.

Zhi Xi had no choice but to tell him that Yan Dan had gouged out her heart twice to save him and was now just an empty shell. No immortal power or immortal art could revive Yan Dan. Tangzhou was heartbroken and in unbearable pain. Yan Dan tearfully bid farewell to Tangzhou, using her last breath to say that there was no more Tangzhou in this world, only Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan.

Then, she leaned into Tangzhou's arms and passed away. The restraints on Zhi Xi were naturally released. Tangzhou, having endured his pain and reflected deeply, decided to return his entire heart to Yan Dan. Zhi Xi advised Ying Yuan not to fail Yan Dan, promised to find a way to save Yan Dan, and hoped Tangzhou would assist her. Risking the complete loss of her immortal power, Zhi Xi immediately gouged out her half-heart to give to Yan Dan.

Tangzhou used immortal power to protect them. The divine artifact Dizhi reappeared, causing Ya Lan Mountain to tremble and shake. The little demons were frightened and scattered, fleeing in all directions. Yu Mo and Bai Ling covered everyone's escape and settled them in a safe zone. --- Leng Jiang reported to the mysterious person that Ying Yuan had an Asura Totem on his body and that he could not kill someone of his own race.

The mysterious person already knew Ying Yuan's background; Ying Yuan was domesticated by Supreme Majesty and became part of the Heavenly Realm race, achieving repeated military success in the War of Creation and showing no mercy even to his own kin. The mysterious person ordered Leng Jiang to execute Ying Yuan according to the original plan, lest Ying Yuan ruin their grand scheme. Leng Jiang accepted the command and departed.

Ying Yuan successfully returned to his position after completing all his tribulations. Supreme Majesty personally came to welcome him and even held a grand celebration for him for three days. Supreme Majesty remembered that when Ying Yuan perished in the mortal realm, a daytime meteor shower had appeared, a celestial phenomenon that only occurred when a Sovereign Lord passed away. He thought Ying Yuan could never be resurrected, but unexpectedly, Ying Yuan returned completely unharmed.

Supreme Majesty curiously inquired about the reason. Ying Yuan knew that Lu Ming had committed a grave sin in the Heavenly Realm when he saved him previously, not only privately using artifacts but also falsifying records. Ying Yuan did not want to implicate Lu Ming, so he lied, claiming the daytime meteor shower was a false phenomenon he had created, fearing someone might target him. Ying Yuan reported the situation concerning the mysterious person to Supreme Majesty.

The mysterious person knew his whereabouts perfectly, not only breaking his immortal garment but also erasing his immortal memories. This person had profound immortal power and also understood the demon race's puppetry techniques. It was clear they did not want him to continue investigating the truth of the war between immortals and demons. Supreme Majesty suspected that the demon race had spies hidden in the Heavenly Realm. Ying Yuan swore to find this mysterious person as soon as possible.

Supreme Majesty knew that Ying Yuan was able to return safely with the help of a mortal and wanted this mortal to achieve the Dao and become an immortal. Ying Yuan admitted that it was Yan Dan who had gouged out her heart to save him.

Since the mysterious person had not yet been found, he worried that Yan Dan would be in danger if she came to the Nine Heavens, and furthermore, Yan Dan was not interested in becoming an immortal. Ying Yuan admitted that his feelings for Yan Dan were as deep as the sea.

As long as he could uncover the truth of the war between immortals and demons and find the real culprit behind the scenes, he was willing to voluntarily relinquish his immortal status and descend to the mortal realm to stay with Yan Dan for life. Supreme Majesty firmly refused, but Ying Yuan's mind was made up. Supreme Majesty advised him to prioritize the greater good and recuperate first. Ying Yuan unknowingly arrived at the Jade Pool.

Seeing that the usually humble Supreme Majesty had actually erected a monument and written a biography for himself, he felt puzzled and couldn't help but stop to observe. Lu Ming was extremely excited to see Ying Yuan return safely. Before he could even speak to Ying Yuan, Supreme Majesty sent an immortal attendant to call Lu Ming back to serve him.

Before leaving, Lu Ming reminded Ying Yuan that there would be a celestial phenomenon of a 'heavenly dog eating the moon' in five days, which would be a perfect time to admire the blooming lotus flowers at night, urging him not to miss the flowering period. Ying Yuan heard the hidden meaning in his words, guessing he was referring to Gou Dan Ju, and that Yan Dan's birthday was also in five days.

Zhi Xi stayed by Yan Dan's side without leaving her side. Suddenly, she received an imperial decree from the Heavenly Realm. She had no choice but to return to report. She entrusted Yu Mo to take good care of Yan Dan. Yu Mo reminded Zhi Xi to be careful everywhere in the Heavenly Realm, as the person who harmed Ying Yuan was within the Heavenly Realm.

Episode 48 Recap

Zhi Xi was ordered to report back to Supreme Majesty. Supreme Majesty greatly rewarded her, bestowing upon her the Seal of Holy Merit of the Magical Pavilion, granting her a thousand years of cultivation, promoting her three ranks, and elevating her to the immortal realm. Zhi Xi knelt to thank Supreme Majesty for the reward. Supreme Majesty casually asked about the relationship between Ying Yuan and Yan Dan.

Zhi Xi, worried that Ying Yuan might be punished again for falling in love, lied, claiming that Yan Dan had already let go of this fruitless relationship. Unexpectedly, Supreme Majesty actually wanted Ying Yuan to descend to the mortal realm to rekindle his relationship with Yan Dan. Zhi Xi returned to the Magical Pavilion, where Ying Yuan had been waiting for her. He couldn't wait to inquire about Yan Dan's injuries.

Only after learning that Yan Dan was no longer in critical condition did he feel relieved. Ya Lan Mountain was razed to the ground after that catastrophe. Only Yan Dan's room was preserved intact; Yu Mo had saved it with the power of the Nine-Fin clan. Ziyan went through great lengths to find the peach tree he had planted. The peach tree was almost dead, and he was very sad.

Danshu knew that Yu Mo was continuously transferring spiritual power to Yan Dan for healing, so the area around Yan Dan's room must have the strongest spiritual power. He told Ziyan to transplant the peach tree outside Yan Dan's door. Yan Dan quickly recovered completely. Seeing Ya Lan Mountain in such a mess, she felt full of self-blame, thinking that everything was caused by her.

Ying Yuan reviewed letters from the mortal realm every day, hoping to find clues about the mysterious person. However, there were no letters from Fengquan Valley. He suspected they were intercepted. The Sword Spirit came forward to find Ying Yuan and offered to help him reunite with Yan Dan in the mortal realm. Ying Yuan remained unmoved, so the Sword Spirit left dejectedly. Ying Yuan suddenly discovered a crack in the Fire Crystal given to him by the immortal attendant.

He used his magic power to investigate, but the Fire Crystal rapidly burned out. Before Ying Yuan could react, a Heavenly Soldier reported that Tianxin Monastery was on fire. Ying Yuan felt something was wrong and suspected someone was behind it. He jumped onto the roof and saw Star Deity Taiyou extinguishing the fire with all his might. Everyone worked together and quickly put out the fire.

Star Deity Taiyou reported to Ying Yuan that only some ordinary letters were burned. Ying Yuan felt something was wrong. Star Deity Taiyou's Taiyou Palace was very far from here, and there were no black marks left by the 'Life-Linking Curse' on his hands. Marshal Huode rushed over upon hearing the news. He spoke sarcastically and harshly to Star Deity Taiyou. Star Deity Taiyou left in a hurry, citing the need to report to Supreme Majesty.

Marshal Huode, still angry, complained greatly to Ying Yuan, saying that ever since Star Deity Taiyou took over as the Grand Commander of the Heavenly Soldiers, he had been sleeping soundly on the training ground every day. Ying Yuan analyzed that the mysterious person was not Star Deity Taiyou. Marshal Huode returned the military book to Ying Yuan and revealed that the Heavenly Realm had changed since Ying Yuan left, and even Supreme Majesty seemed like a different person.

Ying Yuan had already noticed that something was wrong with Supreme Majesty. He felt that all of this was caused by the war between immortals and demons and wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible. He asked Marshal Huode about the situation after he left. Liu Weiyang unintentionally discovered Tao Ziqi practicing a spatial teleportation technique that allows instantaneous movement. She mistakenly thought she wanted to leave.

Tao Ziqi repeatedly explained that she wanted to paint a picture as a birthday gift for Yan Dan and had set up the spatial teleportation technique on it, hoping to allow Yan Dan to travel freely in the mortal realm. Liu Weiyang was half-believing, half-doubting. Yu Mo sent a letter inviting Liu Weiyang and Tao Ziqi to visit Ya Lan Mountain.

Liu Weiyang was worried that Tao Ziqi had not yet fully recovered, so she wrote back to Yu Mo saying they would go a few days later. Tao Ziqi felt that Yu Mo suspected her because of the puppetry technique incident. While Liu Weiyang said she believed Tao Ziqi was innocent, she felt uneasy in her heart. Yan Dan decided to forget about Ying Yuan and be a happy and carefree lotus spirit in the mortal realm.

Yan Dan saw the little demons getting along well, laughing and playing together. She still felt full of self-blame, thinking that if she hadn't retrieved Dizhi to save Tangzhou, their home would not have been destroyed. Ziyan and Zi Lin, on the contrary, comforted Yan Dan, saying that everyone had become closer after this catastrophe, like a family. Only then did Yan Dan feel a little relieved. The Heavenly Doctor came to examine Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan was greatly bothered.

He was eager to find out the true identity of the mysterious person and wanted to find a quiet place to sort out the clues. Yan Dan used her spiritual power to heal the injured little demons and collected flower seeds everywhere, hoping to restore the sea of flowers in the mountain realm. She suddenly saw a game of Go that was not finished.

She couldn't help but recall the scenes of playing Go with Ying Yuan in the Heavenly Realm, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings. Ying Yuan unconsciously arrived at Gou Dan Ju and saw the notes left by Lu Ming, which detailed the years he and Yan Dan spent together through thick and thin. Only then did Ying Yuan realize that it was also Yan Dan who had gouged out her heart to save him the first time.

Ying Yuan's heart was filled with mixed emotions. Ziyan accidentally broke the amber lamp. Ying Yuan arrived in time to fix it. Ziyan thought that Ying Yuan had caused them to lose their home, so he started hitting him. Yu Mo rushed over to stop it and sent Ziyan away with just a few words. Yu Mo complained that Ying Yuan should not have come to Ya Lan Mountain, worried that it would arouse suspicion in the Heavenly Realm.

Ying Yuan remembered that it was Yan Dan's birthday today and wanted to celebrate it for her. Ying Yuan found Yan Dan. Yan Dan was very cold towards him and urged him to leave as soon as possible. Ying Yuan took out the agarwood burner, wanting to rekindle their relationship.

Yan Dan immediately poured the ashes from the agarwood burner onto the ground, doing her best to distance herself from Ying Yuan and advised him to return to the Nine Heavens to complete his mission and protect the peace of the three realms.

Episode 49 Recap

Yan Dan told Ying Yuan to return to the Nine Heavens to fulfill his duty as Sovereign Lord. She wanted to stay in the mortal realm to protect her family. After saying these words, Yan Dan left with tears in her eyes. Ying Yuan used his immortal power to turn the ruins before them into an oasis, and the mountain realm was restored to its former liveliness and prosperity. He then pulled Yan Dan and soared into the sky.

Ying Yuan took Yan Dan on a tour above Ya Lan Mountain. He took out the agarwood burner again, wanting to rekindle their relationship with Yan Dan. Yan Dan was deeply moved. Ying Yuan said he would return to the Heavenly Realm to investigate the truth and asked Yan Dan to wait for him. Star Deity Taiyou reported to the mysterious person that Ying Yuan was still investigating the great fire at Tianxin Monastery.

He was worried that things would be exposed, but the mysterious person had already arranged everything. Five days passed in a blink of an eye. Ying Yuan came to Gou Dan Ju in Di Ya to wait for Lu Ming. Lu Ming didn't appear for a long time. Zhi Xi rushed over; she was also searching everywhere for Lu Ming. Lu Ming had been missing for several days.

Zhi Xi found the mermaid pearl mirror left by Lu Ming in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. Ying Yuan opened the mirror and saw the scenery of the North Sea where the Mermaid clan was located. He immediately rushed over to investigate. The artifact Dizhi gave the hot spring water a miraculous effect of bringing back to life. Now that Ying Yuan had taken Dizhi, the hot spring water became ordinary water again.

Yan Dan used her lotus spiritual power to transform into lotus flowers in it, which was not only beautiful but also could heal the injured little demons. Yu Mo felt grateful to her. The North Sea Elder came to Yu Mo for help. He couldn't contact Lu Ming, so he activated the mermaid pearl mirror. As a result, he only saw the Mermaid clan's secret base in the North Sea, the Liuli Waterfall.

A barrier had been set up there, which no one in the clan could break, not even Lu Ming's father, the Dragon Lord. Yan Dan swore to find Lu Ming at all costs. Yu Mo found Yan Dan had left early in the morning and left a letter, asking Yu Mo to stay in the mountain realm to protect the little demons. She went to the North Sea alone to find Lu Ming.

Ying Yuan also came to the North Sea to find Lu Ming. The two of them went to Liuli Waterfall together. Yan Dan and Ying Yuan quickly found Liuli Waterfall and saw a stone tablet nearby. The inscription recorded that this was the Mermaid clan's ancestral hall. Yan Dan was sure that Lu Ming had left important clues here; otherwise, this scene would not have appeared in the mermaid pearl mirror.

Yan Dan wanted to activate the mermaid pearl mirror to find Lu Ming, but saw the spiritual gathering threads gathering back Lu Ming's remaining fraction of spiritual consciousness. Ying Yuan knew Lu Ming was dead because after a mermaid dies, a lifetime of memories will condense into a single mermaid pearl tear and fly back to their homeland. Lu Ming's mermaid pearl tear had been destroyed, and only the remaining spiritual consciousness returned here.

Yan Dan suppressed her grief and opened the spiritual consciousness, seeing a shocking scene. Supreme Majesty had called Lu Ming over and killed him on the spot. Yan Dan suspected that Supreme Majesty was also the mysterious person who had cruelly harmed Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan firmly believed in Supreme Majesty's character. He had raised him since he was young and hid his identity as a descendant of the Asura Totem.

Supreme Majesty had always been benevolent and kind and would never do such cruel things. Yan Dan wanted to look for clues in the mermaid pearl mirror and saw that Lu Ming had preserved a past event. That was the ten-thousand-year promise she and Lu Ming had made in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, but now they were separated by life and death. Yan Dan saw the objects and thought of the person, crying heartbrokenly, unable to speak.

Ying Yuan comforted Yan Dan not to be sad. He decided to go to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion to look for clues. Yan Dan disregarded the danger of exposing her identity and insisted on returning to the Heavenly Realm with him to investigate the truth. Ying Yuan arrived at the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, sent all the immortal attendants away, and then let Yan Dan out from his sleeve. The two of them searched separately but found nothing.

Yan Dan was unwilling to give up. She discovered the undying candles made by Lu Ming using mermaid bone and blood, confirming that this was a clue left by Lu Ming. Ying Yuan used his immortal power to extinguish those candles, leaving only nine undying candles. A strange astronomical phenomenon that only occurs once every ten thousand years appeared before them - the Nine Stars Alignment.

Every time the Nine Stars Alignment appears, if one uses Golden Cicada Wings to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then uses the immortal spirit of a powerful immortal as a vessel, making a living sacrifice to the Nine Stars Formation, one can cultivate the Qiankun Attractor. That was used by Xuan Ye, the Supreme Lord of the Asura Totem. Because it was insidious and vicious, it was sealed after the Creation War.

The last time the Nine Stars Alignment appeared was during the Immortal-Demon War. Yan Dan remembered that Celestial Deity Beiming had lost his immortal spirit after the great battle and suspected it was taken by someone to cultivate the Qiankun Attractor. However, the Golden Cicada Wings needed to cultivate the Qiankun Attractor are the magical treasure of the Three-Winged Crow clan, and the Crow clan had long since become extinct.

People injured by the Qiankun Attractor will have brittle immortal bones, making it difficult for them to take shape. Yan Dan suggested going to check Celestial Deity Beiming's corpse. Ying Yuan and Yan Dan opened the coffin and examined the body. A chess piece flew out of the coffin. Celestial Deity Beiming had stored his remaining spiritual consciousness within this chess piece. Celestial Deity Beiming appeared again, and Ying Yuan was extremely excited.

It turned out that before the Immortal-Demon War, Celestial Deity Beiming had taken one of Ying Yuan's chess pieces, wanting to transmit sound to him through it. He didn't expect it to be useful now. Ying Yuan eagerly asked Celestial Deity Beiming about the truth of the Immortal-Demon War. Celestial Deity Beiming was sneak-attacked by the mysterious person during the great battle. The mysterious person actually used puppetry technique to transform into his appearance and took away his immortal spirit.

Celestial Deity Beiming advised Ying Yuan not to continue investigating this matter, lest he expose his identity as a descendant of the Asura Totem and would not be able to gain a foothold in the Heavenly Realm in the future. Moreover, the mysterious person had profound power and had also absorbed his immortal spirit; now no one could match them. Ying Yuan insisted on finding out the truth and pleaded with Celestial Deity Beiming to reveal the truth.

Celestial Deity Beiming didn't want Yan Dan and Yu Mo to be involved in this matter, and Ying Yuan promised to protect them. Yan Dan opened the coffin and examined the body, discovering that Celestial Deity Beiming's immortal spirit was gone. She suspected that the mysterious person was Supreme Majesty. Ying Yuan didn't want her to be involved. Yan Dan insisted on seeking justice for Celestial Deity Beiming. Ying Yuan promised to protect her well.

Yan Dan immediately sent a message to Yu Mo. Ying Yuan also wanted to use Yu Mo's Nine-Fin Dragon Scale to verify the Qiankun Attractor. Ying Yuan personally brought people to Xuanshin Cliff, wanting to arrange a room for Yan Dan. Marshal Huode spent all day getting drunk at Xuanshin Cliff. He had no time to attend to these matters and allowed Ying Yuan and his people to arrange things as they pleased.

Episode 50 Recap

Liu Weiyang received an urgent letter from Yu Mo, asking her to rush to Ya Lan Mountain immediately. Liu Weiyang couldn't find Tao Ziqi anywhere. Supreme Majesty suddenly descended from the sky, wanting to clean up the war criminal Demon King, and also took Tao Ziqi hostage as a threat. Liu Weiyang wanted to exchange for Tao Ziqi back. Supreme Majesty told her to exchange it for the Eye of Ten Thousand Devils.

Liu Weiyang painfully took out the Eye of Ten Thousand Devils. Supreme Majesty cruelly killed her. Lu Ming saved Yan Dan's belongings before he died. Yan Dan rummaged through those things. Among them were two bottles of stardust and a wedding dress that Zhi Xi had collected for Yan Dan. Zhi Xi wanted to personally help her put on the wedding dress on the day of Yan Dan and Ying Yuan's wedding.

She also mentioned in the letter that Yu Mo didn't hesitate to break his dragon horn to go to the mortal realm to find Yan Dan. Yan Dan felt very conflicted inside. Yan Dan was worried about being recognized by the immortals in the Heavenly Realm, so she had no choice but to transform into Zhi Xi's appearance to come to Magical Pavilion.

Zhi Xi recognized her on the spot and complained that she shouldn't have risked coming to the Heavenly Realm. Yan Dan thanked Zhi Xi for saving her with half a heart. Zhi Xi couldn't wait to know the progress of her relationship with Ying Yuan. Yan Dan didn't expect a specific outcome; cherishing the present moment was enough. Zhi Xi didn't want to ask too much either. She wanted to know the reason Yan Dan came to the Heavenly Realm.

Yan Dan was worried about leaking information and alerting the enemy, so she remained tight-lipped with Zhi Xi. But unable to resist Zhi Xi's pestering, Yan Dan had to admit that she and Ying Yuan came to investigate the truth of Lu Ming's death. Ying Yuan proactively came to Supreme Majesty for drinks and a chat.

He frankly pointed out that Supreme Majesty had changed and didn't understand why Supreme Majesty, who had always looked down on Star Deity Taiyou, had exceptionally promoted him to Commander of Heavenly Troops. Supreme Majesty explained that Star Deity Taiyou was Bayun Sovereign Lord's disciple. Bayun Sovereign Lord died in the Immortal-Demon War, so Supreme Majesty promoted Star Deity Taiyou to comfort Bayun Sovereign Lord's soul. Ying Yuan subtly probed Supreme Majesty.

Supreme Majesty responded skillfully and insisted that Lu Ming was the true culprit who harmed Ying Yuan. Today was the last day of Ying Yuan's shared fate curse with the mysterious person. Ying Yuan wanted to find an opportunity to confirm if there was a black mark on Supreme Majesty's palm. He wanted to have a match with Supreme Majesty. Supreme Majesty readily agreed. Supreme Majesty assumed a stance and exchanged blows with Ying Yuan.

His cultivation was profound and deeply hidden. Ying Yuan was defeated before he could see his palm print. Before leaving, Supreme Majesty even reviewed a chess game. Ying Yuan became even more suspicious because Supreme Majesty didn't like playing chess and didn't like him playing chess either. Ying Yuan suspected that Supreme Majesty was an impersonation created by the mysterious person using puppetry technique. Zhi Xi brought a large box that Lu Ming often looked through during his lifetime.

Inside were belts discarded by Celestial Deities from various palaces. Yan Dan was very puzzled. Lu Ming also had many books related to belts, but he wasn't interested in these things during his lifetime. Zhi Xi found the records of various palaces replacing belts and discovered that Supreme Majesty and Ying Yuan never replaced their belts. Supreme Majesty saw that Ying Yuan used the Eternal Night Technique when sparring with him.

He felt something was wrong, so he came to Di Ya under the cover of darkness and found that the Sharp Soul Sword Spirit of the Asura Totem was missing. Confirming that Ying Yuan was a descendant of the Asura Totem, and the son of Sovereign Lord Xuan Ye, Supreme Majesty was ecstatic. As long as he obtained Ying Yuan's bloodline, he could rest easy.

Yan Dan learned from Zhi Xi that the reason Ying Yuan didn't want to change his belt was because she had embroidered lotus flowers on it. She came to Ying Yuan's Yanxu Heavenly Palace overnight, holding the Hunyuan Jade Belt and lost in thought. Ying Yuan suddenly jumped out, disheveled. The immortal attendant Qingyun rushed over upon hearing the news. Ying Yuan was worried about Yan Dan's identity being exposed, so he held her tightly.

Qingyun had no choice but to leave dispiritedly. Yan Dan reported to Ying Yuan that Supreme Majesty had never changed his belt, and she suspected there was a secret in the belt. Ying Yuan also found Supreme Majesty very suspicious. He found the ring transformed from a Shadowless Beast in Lu Ming's room and felt that Supreme Majesty deliberately framed Lu Ming.

Yan Dan wanted to find evidence that Supreme Majesty cultivated using the Nine Stars Alignment to expose his crimes. Ying Yuan searched Star Deity JiDu's room for the Nine Star Chart, but there was no record of the Nine Stars Alignment in it. Yan Dan remembered that Star Deity JiDu had once set up an endgame for Ying Yuan. Yan Dan solved it effortlessly. That endgame happened to be the trajectory of the Nine Stars Alignment.

Ying Yuan didn't understand why Star Deity JiDu didn't record this chess game. Yan Dan suspected that Star Deity JiDu and Supreme Majesty were in cahoots. Ying Yuan decided to go to Star Deity JiDu's Star Setting Pavilion to look for clues. Just as Yan Dan was about to leave, Qingyun and Lujing hurried over, wanting to stand guard outside the door for Ying Yuan and let him and Yan Dan rest assured.

Yan Dan had no choice but to stay for the night. She and Ying Yuan slept on the same bed, placing a large pillow in the middle. Ying Yuan quickly fell asleep. Yan Dan carefully examined his handsome face and was discovered by Ying Yuan, causing Yan Dan to blush profusely. The seven-day limit had arrived, and the black mark on Supreme Majesty's palm naturally disappeared. In fact, he was that mysterious person.

He used puppetry technique to transform into Supreme Majesty's appearance and sent people to keep a close watch on Ying Yuan's every move. Ying Yuan and Yan Dan came to the Star Setting Pavilion and found that the magical treasure of the Three-Winged Crow clan, the Golden Cicada Wings, was stored there. It was also an essential item for cultivating the Qiankun Attractor. Ying Yuan clearly remembered that Supreme Majesty personally issued a decree to exterminate the Three-Winged Crow clan back then.

Episode 51 Recap

应渊 opened Star Deity JiDu Huan Qin's coffin and found that his immortal spirit was also missing. Ying Yuan determined that he did not die in battle but was killed by the mysterious person, just like Celestial Deity Beiming. Just then, the bells of the Heavenly Realm rang nine times in succession. This had never happened in the Heavenly Realm for millions of years; the last time the bells rang was when the Immortal-Demon War was won.

Ying Yuan guessed that something major was happening. Lujing reminded Ying Yuan to go to the Ling Xiao Palace as quickly as possible. Before leaving, Ying Yuan ordered that no one was allowed to leave Yanxu Heavenly Palace without his permission. Ying Yuan arrived at the Ling Xiao Palace. The celestial beings had already been waiting for a long time.

Supreme Majesty used the excuse that many strange things had happened since Ying Yuan's return to his position, and in response to the request of the celestial beings, he questioned Ying Yuan. Supreme Majesty had previously sent people to close all nine layers of the Heavenly Gate. Ying Yuan had nowhere to escape, and the celestial beings could speak freely.

Star Deity Taiyou was the first to step forward to impeach Ying Yuan, accusing him of never concerning himself with the Heavenly Realm's defense and being completely infatuated with the mortal realm. Marshal Huode defended Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan publicly declared that Supreme Majesty had removed him from his duties, and his multiple trips to the mortal realm were only to investigate the true culprit who harmed him.

Marshal Huode was very surprised, not expecting that someone would dare to harm Ying Yuan. Yan Dan heard the bells ringing and couldn't find Ying Yuan. She thought that her disguise as Zhi Xi had been discovered and worried that Ying Yuan would be punished for bringing her to the Heavenly Realm without authorization. Qingyun hurried over to report to Yan Dan that Ying Yuan had been called by Supreme Majesty for questioning.

Heavenly soldiers had also surrounded the Ling Xiao Palace. Star Deity Taiyou was currently making things difficult for Ying Yuan. Yan Dan was extremely anxious. Yan Dan, disguised as Zhi Xi, came to the Ling Xiao Palace. Star Deity Taiyou was questioning Ying Yuan, claiming that no one would harm Ying Yuan and that his descent to the mortal realm was not to investigate a case but to secretly meet with a demoness. Qingyun presented 'Zhi Xi'. '

Zhi Xi' (Yan Dan) repeatedly explained that she and Ying Yuan had no private relationship and that Supreme Majesty had even tested them with the Thread of Severed Affection. Celestial Deity Yueyao also stepped forward to testify for 'Zhi Xi'. Supreme Majesty had long seen through the disguise that Zhi Xi was Yan Dan, and publicly ordered her to reveal her true form. Supreme Majesty determined that Yan Dan and Ying Yuan had a private relationship.

Yan Dan repeatedly explained that her return to the Heavenly Realm this time was to investigate the cause of Lu Ming's death. Supreme Majesty did not believe her at all and wanted to verify her and Ying Yuan on the spot. Yan Dan and Ying Yuan held the two ends of the Thread of Severed Affection. The thread did not break.

Ying Yuan publicly admitted that he was deeply in love with Yan Dan and was willing to accept the punishment. Supreme Majesty was willing to fulfill their wish and let them go to the mortal realm to be husband and wife. Ying Yuan still had important matters unfinished. Supreme Majesty insisted that Ying Yuan's feigned death back then was for Yan Dan, and that they had even colluded to kill Lu Ming.

Yan Dan admitted that Lu Ming was her good friend and she would never harm him. Ying Yuan completely saw through Supreme Majesty's true face. He took out the mermaid tear pearl that Lu Ming had left behind. Yan Dan opened the scene within it, showing Supreme Majesty personally killing Lu Ming. The celestial beings discussed amongst themselves. Ying Yuan took out the Golden Cicada Wings and publicly exposed Supreme Majesty for deliberately instigating the Immortal-Demon War.

He revealed that during the Nine Stars Alignment, Supreme Majesty used the Golden Cicada Wings to absorb the immortal spirits of Celestial Deity Beiming, Star Deity JiDu, and others to cultivate the sinister Qiankun Attractor. Supreme Majesty argued in every possible way. Ying Yuan took out Yu Mo's last piece of Nine-Fin Dragon Scale and asked Supreme Majesty to hold it in his hand to prove his innocence. Supreme Majesty called Tao Ziqi to testify against Ying Yuan.

Tao Ziqi falsely accused Ying Yuan of privately meeting with the Demon King during the Immortal-Demon War, plotting to join forces and overthrow Supreme Majesty to take his place. She claimed Ying Yuan brutally killed Celestial Deity Beiming and three other Sovereign Lords who supported Supreme Majesty and then killed her to silence her. It was thanks to Supreme Majesty that she was brought back to life. Marshal Huode stepped forward to defend Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan saw that Supreme Majesty was using Tao Ziqi to divert attention and insisted that Supreme Majesty verify himself with the Nine-Fin Dragon Scale. Supreme Majesty immediately turned hostile on the spot, falsely accusing Ying Yuan of killing Lu Ming to silence him because he knew Supreme Majesty's true identity. He immediately restored the Asura Totem on Ying Yuan's forehead.

Supreme Majesty publicly stated that Ying Yuan stole the Sharp Soul Sword to cultivate the Eternal Night Technique and that he was the son of Asura Totem's Supreme Majesty, Xuan Ye. Yan Dan testified for Ying Yuan. She personally saw Ying Yuan tie himself to the Kunlun Tree, and the Sharp Soul Sword automatically emerged and attached itself to Ying Yuan.

Yan Dan recounted, one by one, the facts of Ying Yuan's act of righteousness against his own kind during the Immortal-Demon War, as well as his contributions for the sake of all living beings and the peace of the three realms. Marshal Huode and Celestial Deity Yueyao believed that Ying Yuan was different from those ruthless Asura Totem members.

Supreme Majesty claimed that he treated Ying Yuan like his own son, yet Ying Yuan actually wanted to join forces with the demon realm to overthrow him. Ying Yuan was deeply heartbroken. He had known since childhood that he had Asura Totem bloodline, so he had always diligently fulfilled his duties as a good Sovereign Lord, caring for all living beings. It wasn't until he met Yan Dan that he realized he was a living, breathing Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan never expected Supreme Majesty to have such a despicable side. The Nine-Fin Dragon Scale and the Golden Cicada Wings were irrefutable proof that Supreme Majesty cultivated the Qiankun Attractor. Supreme Majesty was rendered speechless by Ying Yuan's words. He asked Tao Ziqi to accuse Ying Yuan again. Tao Ziqi repeatedly claimed that the Demon King Xuan Xiang was still alive, and that Ying Yuan wanted to join forces with her to launch the Immortal-Demon War again.

The celestial beings were in an uproar. Marshal Huode was eager to know Xuan Xiang's whereabouts. Tao Ziqi told him to ask Ying Yuan. Yan Dan clearly stated that Xuan Xiang did not instigate the Immortal-Demon War; it was Shuohua who impersonated her using puppetry technique. Supreme Majesty summoned the local deity to testify. The local deity accused Yan Dan and Ying Yuan of robbing the county records and inquiring about the Immortal-Demon War.

Qingyun reported that Ying Yuan had stolen ancient texts about the Immortal-Demon War from the library and had personally witnessed Yan Dan and Ying Yuan plotting and engaging in inappropriate conduct. Supreme Majesty, without allowing for explanations, declared Ying Yuan guilty of the grave crime of rebellion and ordered him to be escorted to the Heavenly Gallows to be subjected to the Resentful Blade punishment. Marshal Huode and Celestial Deity Yueyao pleaded for Ying Yuan.

Supreme Majesty immediately stripped them of their celestial posts and punished them with confinement for introspection. He forbade anyone else from pleading for Ying Yuan, or they would also be subjected to the Resentful Blade punishment. Ying Yuan picked up the Nine-Fin Dragon Scale and charged straight towards Supreme Majesty, intending to verify on the spot that he was the true culprit. Star Deity Taiyou held Yan Dan hostage as a threat.

Yan Dan urged Ying Yuan not to mind her. Heavenly soldiers suddenly rushed in and surrounded them. Ying Yuan comforted Yan Dan that they would both be alright, threw the Nine-Fin Dragon Scale on the ground, and surrendered without resistance.

Episode 52 Recap

The Resentful Blade punishment has a total of eighty-one strikes. Each strike is like undergoing an ascension tribulation. Moreover, when the Resentful Blade enters the body, it splits and dissolves, cutting and shredding the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones. Inside, the body is torn into ten thousand pieces, with only the outer shell remaining intact. Supreme Majesty forced Ying Yuan to confess and submit to punishment. Ying Yuan ignored him.

Yan Dan was willing to suffer the punishment with Ying Yuan. Supreme Majesty personally carried out the execution on them. Yan Dan and Ying Yuan were covered in wounds from the Resentful Blade punishment. They faced death without flinching. Ying Yuan finally understood the pain Yan Dan felt when she gouged out her heart for him. Yan Dan and Ying Yuan encouraged each other and endured a total of eighty cruel strikes.

The last Resentful Blade strike was the most powerful. Ying Yuan used the Resentful Blade to break through the Heavenly Gate and fled the Heavenly Gallows with Yan Dan. Supreme Majesty pursued closely. Ying Yuan pushed Yan Dan away, and he and Supreme Majesty engaged in a fierce fight. Supreme Majesty knocked him unconscious.

Zhi Xi arrived in time to rescue them, settling Ying Yuan and Yan Dan on a cloud boat, and even gave Ying Yuan a Blood Vine Pill to regulate his heart meridians. Supreme Majesty launched an attack on Yan Dan and Ying Yuan. Tao Ziqi came to help. Supreme Majesty returned again. Zhi Xi desperately protected Yan Dan and Ying Yuan. She was struck dead on the spot by Supreme Majesty, who then collected her immortal spirit.

Yu Mo took Yan Dan, Tao Ziqi, and Ying Yuan to the South Sea to seek refuge with Chao Lan. Yan Dan couldn't help but recall Zhi Xi's appearance and smiles when she was alive. She was heartbroken and in agonizing pain. Tao Ziqi came to Yan Dan to apologize, explaining repeatedly that she gave false testimony only to save Liu Weiyang, never expecting to cause Zhi Xi's death. Tao Ziqi wanted to be Yan Dan's older sister.

She wanted to find Liu Weiyang as soon as possible, but Chao Lan had set up a barrier, fearing that Supreme Majesty and the heavenly soldiers and generals would find them. Yan Dan firmly believed that Tao Ziqi and Liu Weiyang would be reunited sooner or later. Tao Ziqi heard that Yu Mo had created the barrier and wanted to know where the weak points were. Yan Dan didn't know either.

Tao Ziqi was eager to know their future plans, but Yan Dan was not in the mood to think about such things. Yu Mo was practicing the Nine-Fin Fire Spirit using an ice bath. Chao Lan's earnest persuasion was also in vain. Yan Dan felt guilty and blamed herself for Zhi Xi's death. Ying Yuan comforted her with kind words.

A dolphin spirit set off fireworks to celebrate the birthday of her older sister, who was married to the North Sea. Yan Dan was moved by the sight, remembering her promise with Zhi Xi to attend the Star Welcoming Ceremony. Now that Zhi Xi was dead, she was very heartbroken. Ying Yuan opened a bottle of stardust. Yan Dan held the grains of stardust in her hands, as if Zhi Xi was right beside her.

Yan Dan swore to the heavens that she would still be sisters with Zhi Xi in their next life. Chao Lan gathered all the Elders of the Four Seas Water Tribe. The Elders all knelt down, willing to follow Yu Mo's command. Yu Mo was deeply moved. The things he was about to do were extremely dangerous, and he did not want to implicate the Four Seas Water Tribe.

Yan Dan, Yu Mo, and Ying Yuan discussed first finding a breakthrough with Tao Ziqi. Although Tao Ziqi had helped rescue them, she was very interested in their next steps. Yan Dan suspected she was a spy. When Ying Yuan fought with Supreme Majesty, he noticed a clear ringing of weapons clashing coming from his belt. He recognized the sword on his belt as the personal weapon of Star Deity JiDu Huan Qin.

Yan Dan had also heard from Zhi Xi that Supreme Majesty had changed, and suspected that someone was impersonating Supreme Majesty using puppetry technique. Ying Yuan worried that the real Supreme Majesty had been killed. Yan Dan analyzed through various signs that the current Supreme Majesty was Huan Qin, and the Huan Qin in the coffin might have been fake.

Episode 53 Recap

Supreme Majesty sent people everywhere to inquire about the whereabouts of Yan Dan and Ying Yuan, only to find that the royal cloud boat they were riding was stopped in the North Sea. Supreme Majesty knew that was just a feint. The spy he sent, Tao Ziqi, still had no news, suspecting Tao Ziqi was trapped. Supreme Majesty had no choice but to find Star Deity Tai You to discuss countermeasures.

Leng Jiang came to Supreme Majesty to reason, complaining that he didn't reveal Ying Yuan's identity as the Young Master of the Asura Totem beforehand. Supreme Majesty had once sworn allegiance to the Venerable Xuan Ye and vowed to revive the Asura Totem. Supreme Majesty repeatedly claimed he was helping Ying Yuan sever all emotions, otherwise Ying Yuan would find it difficult to achieve great things.

However, Leng Jiang didn't buy it; he knew well the horror of the Resentful Blade punishment. If Ying Yuan hadn't broken through the door and escaped in time, he would have long been buried without a trace. Leng Jiang suspected that Supreme Majesty was using the revival of the totem as a pretext to bewitch them, using this to achieve his own ambitious desires. In a fit of rage, Supreme Majesty brutally attacked Leng Jiang.

It was fortunate that Leng Jiang did not use his true form, allowing him to escape a disaster. Leng Jiang warned Supreme Majesty to mend his ways, stating that even if he mastered the Qian Kun Yin technique, because Ying Yuan possessed Xuan Ye's bloodline, he was simply no match for Ying Yuan. Supreme Majesty gnashed his teeth in anger.

Yi Zang, representing the Night-Forgetting River, came to the Heavenly Realm to deliver a cartload of generous gifts to Supreme Majesty. Star Deity Tai You carefully inspected it and found no abnormalities, so he allowed the carriage to enter. Yan Dan, Yu Mo, and Ying Yuan were hidden inside; they wanted to re-examine Huan Qin's corpse. Yi Zang stood guard outside. Ying Yuan and the other two opened the coffin and saw a crescent-shaped scar on Huan Qin's wrist.

Ying Yuan recognized it as the one left by Supreme Majesty when he cut his flesh to feed the eagles, thus confirming that this corpse was Supreme Majesty. Huan Qin had used puppetry technique to transform into Supreme Majesty's appearance and made Supreme Majesty's corpse look like himself. Ying Yuan remembered the day he repaired the barrier, Supreme Majesty had once extracted a wisp of his immortal spirit to prevent him from falling into demonhood.

Ying Yuan swore to use this only remaining wisp of immortal spirit to revive Supreme Majesty, so that Huan Qin's conspiracy could be fully exposed. He summoned Supreme Majesty's immortal spirit back. Supreme Majesty had guarded Huan Qin's secret his entire life; he never expected Huan Qin would commit such atrocious deeds. Ying Yuan regretted discovering it too late. Supreme Majesty revealed a great secret: Ying Yuan's birth mother was superior deity Ran Qing.

Supreme Majesty summoned the Ren Hun Sword. When Ran Qing self-detonated her immortal spirit back then, she shattered Xuan Ye's Zhuan Xi Lun. The fragments of the Zhuan Xi Lun were hidden inside the Ren Hun Sword, preserving some residual memories—the past grievances and history between Ran Qing and Xuan Ye. That year, the Asura Totem instigated war, and Xuan Ye was severely wounded.

He was surrounded from all sides; fortunately, Ran Qing intervened in time to rescue him and brought him back to the Ninth Heaven to recover from his injuries. Supreme Majesty felt that Xuan Ye's identity was unclear and worried that Ran Qing would get into trouble. Ran Qing measured that Xuan Ye was just a minor demon with shallow spiritual power. Supreme Majesty wanted to bestow some divine power upon Xuan Ye and have Ran Qing send him away.

Xuan Ye overheard their conversation and voluntarily requested to go down to the mortal realm. Ran Qing, ignoring Supreme Majesty's obstruction, insisted on seeing Xuan Ye off. Xuan Ye and Ran Qing reluctantly bid farewell. Leng Jiang suddenly arrived with the Asura Totem people, intent on killing Ran Qing to absorb her thousand years of spiritual power. Xuan Ye rushed forward to desperately protect Ran Qing, but his old injuries hadn't healed, and he was quickly defeated.

Ran Qing effortlessly repelled Leng Jiang and his group. Xuan Ye suddenly spat out fresh blood. Ran Qing took him to her secluded cultivation place to heal his injuries. Xuan Ye used his spiritual power to make the place bloom with hundreds of flowers, full of spring vitality. Xuan Ye picked a bouquet of flowers and gave it to Ran Qing. Ran Qing also named him Mu Han.

The two gradually developed affection for each other and soon fell in love. After Xuan Ye recovered from his injuries, he bid farewell to Ran Qing and prepared to leave. Ran Qing desperately tried to keep him, willing to offer herself to him. Xuan Ye took the opportunity to steal Ran Qing's divine artifact—the Qiyao Shen Yu. The two then became husband and wife.

When Ran Qing discovered the divine artifact was stolen, she immediately went to find Xuan Ye to settle the score. Xuan Ye revealed his true identity, and only then did Ran Qing realize he was the Venerable of the Asura Totem. Everything before had been a planned setup; Xuan Ye approached her solely for the Qiyao Shen Yu, to fulfill the Asura Totem's ambition of unifying the world.

Xuan Ye repeatedly explained that the Asura Totem had always been short-lived and found it difficult to subdue any other totem, which was why he wanted to borrow Ran Qing's Qiyao Shen Yu for a while. However, he insisted that his feelings for Ran Qing were real. Ran Qing wanted to personally eliminate Xuan Ye to atone for her actions.

Xuan Ye had already used the Qiyao Shen Yu to cultivate the Yong Ye Gong; his power had reached its peak. Xuan Ye swore that he would return to Ran Qing to renew their relationship when he became the Venerable of the world. Xuan Ye led the Asura Totem on campaigns everywhere; they were invincible. Upon hearing the news, Ran Qing came wearing a mask to stop him and was severely wounded by Xuan Ye.

Ran Qing never regretted falling in love with Xuan Ye and urged him to stop before it was too late. Xuan Ye didn't listen at all. Ran Qing was heartbroken and finally died in Xuan Ye's arms. Xuan Ye, having suffered and pondered, decided to rewrite their destiny.

Episode 54 Recap

Xuan Ye did not want to lose Ran Qing, so he began to modify their destiny starting from their first meeting. Xuan Ye was being pursued, and Ran Qing arrived in time to rescue him. Xuan Ye called himself Mu Han, the name Ran Qing had given him. The two fell in love at first sight and were soon happily married. On their wedding night, Xuan Ye stole Ran Qing's Qiyao Shen Yu.

Ran Qing saw his true face clearly and left in a huff. In a fit of rage, Xuan Ye stormed the Heavenly Realm and killed all the immortals. He got what he wanted, unifying the Six Realms, and wanted Ran Qing to be the Empress. Heartbroken, Ran Qing committed suicide on the spot. Xuan Ye could not accept this result. Xuan Ye then began modifying their destiny again from their wedding night.

He stole Ran Qing's Qiyao Shen Yu and swore to grow old together with Ran Qing. The two began a happy life. Xuan Ye was busy with official duties every day, and Ran Qing felt distressed. She wanted to pick a beautiful piece of cloud-mist for Xuan Ye and accidentally discovered that Xuan Ye was rallying the Asura Totem people to campaign everywhere, aiming to unify the Six Realms and become the world's Sovereign Lord.

Ran Qing was heartbroken and wanted to stop Xuan Ye, but she was trapped by Xuan Ye's Wushuang Mirror. Moreover, she was pregnant with Xuan Ye's child, so she could only temporarily endure. Several months later, Ran Qing gave birth to a son, Ying Yuan, and entrusted him to Supreme Majesty for upbringing. Ran Qing had previously cast a spell on Ying Yuan to hide the Asura Totem mark on him.

Ran Qing begged Supreme Majesty to conceal Ying Yuan's identity as a descendant of the Asura Totem. She needed to settle the score with Xuan Ye. Supreme Majesty worried that she was not Xuan Ye's match, but Ran Qing's mind was made up.

She also asked Supreme Majesty to establish heavenly rules, stating that from then on, immortals and deities in the Ninth Heaven were not allowed to develop feelings, otherwise their emotional punishment would deepen until they confessed their mistakes. Ran Qing and Xuan Ye faced each other on the battlefield. Ran Qing used her newly created immortal technique, Ran Yue Gong, but unexpectedly, Xuan Ye easily broke it.

Ran Qing suspected Xuan Ye had used the Zhuan Xi Lun on her, which Xuan Ye admitted. Ran Qing advised him to abandon his ambition of unifying the Six Realms, but Xuan Ye remained stubborn. He wanted to use the Wushuang Mirror and Yong Ye Gong to trap Ran Qing again. Ran Qing broke free effortlessly. Only then did Xuan Ye realize that Ran Qing had the Asura Totem bloodline—that of their son, Ying Yuan.

While Xuan Ye hesitated, Ran Qing used the Ren Hun Sword to kill him, then self-detonated. Supreme Majesty cast a spell on the Ren Hun Sword, forbidding the sword spirit from revealing Ying Yuan's background, and sealed the Ren Hun Sword in the Earth Abyss. After listening to Supreme Majesty's account, Ying Yuan swore to revive Supreme Majesty, expose Huan Qin's conspiracy, and fulfill his mother Ran Qing's mission of protecting the Three Realms.

Supreme Majesty desperately tried to stop him, explaining that the reason he left a wisp of his immortal spirit in Ying Yuan's body was to suppress Ying Yuan's violent nature from the Asura Totem. Supreme Majesty hoped Ying Yuan would remember Ran Qing's last wish and properly guard the peace of the Three Realms, which Ying Yuan took to heart one by one. Ying Yuan, Yan Dan, and Yu Mo left on the imperial cloud boat.

Leng Jiang came to Ying Yuan to confess his sins, stating he had been deceived by Huan Qin for many years and now had a change of heart. Leng Jiang revealed Huan Qin's background: he was also from the Asura Totem, a pawn left in the world by Xuan Ye. To plant immortal roots in Huan Qin's body, his Asura inner core had to be shattered, his blood drained, and replaced with the blood of gods.

Even if Huan Qin cultivated immortal essence in the future, he would become crippled. Huan Qin had long since put life and death aside, focused solely on completing the Asura Totem's grand ambition of unifying the world. Xuan Ye shattered Huan Qin's Asura inner core on the spot and replaced his blood with the blood of two captured heavenly gods.

After Xuan Ye's death, Leng Jiang settled his clansmen and went to discuss the plan of totem revival with Huan Qin. At that time, Huan Qin had not yet been bestowed the title of Star Deity. He made various excuses to procrastinate until he obtained the Hundred Refined Steel, only then did he make up his mind. Ying Yuan clearly remembered fighting the Asura Totem alongside Huan Qin.

Huan Qin's arm was severed, and Ying Yuan spent a large portion of his cultivation to help reattach it. Supreme Majesty bestowed Ying Yuan the title of Sovereign Lord and Huan Qin the title of Star Deity JiDu, also gifting him the Hundred Refined Steel. Huan Qin discovered the Asura Totem bloodline in Ying Yuan's body and advised him to leave the Heavenly Realm. Ying Yuan admitted that Supreme Majesty had known his identity long ago.

Huan Qin became jealous and resentful, harboring hatred towards Ying Yuan ever since. Leng Jiang persuaded Ying Yuan to extract the wisp of Supreme Majesty's immortal spirit suppressing him, release the Asura divine power within him, revive the clansmen who died in the Creation War, and complete the great task of totem revival.

Ying Yuan flatly refused, tying Leng Jiang up on the spot and clearly stating that he was Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan and would never be the Young Master of the Asura Totem. Yan Dan suspected Tao Ziqi was a spy, so she discussed a way to test her with Ying Yuan. A maid rushed to report to Chao Lan that because Chao Lan had set up a barrier, the Aquatic people could not contact their families outside.

She worried that this would arouse suspicion in the Heavenly Realm if it went on for too long. Chao Lan told her to inform everyone to place their family letters by the Heavenly River every辰时 (Chen Shi - 7-9 AM). At that time, Chao Lan would open the barrier of the Heavenly River, allowing the family letters to flow down the Heavenly River to the Heavenly Palace.

This would not only help everyone deliver letters but also eliminate the Heavenly Realm's suspicion. Tao Ziqi hid nearby and heard everything clearly. Tao Ziqi came to the Heavenly River to send a letter at 辰时, where she was caught by Yan Dan, Ying Yuan, and Yu Mo. Yu Mo took the letter back.

Tao Ziqi tried every means to argue her way out, but Yan Dan was convinced she was a spy sent by the false Emperor Huan Qin and ordered her to be locked up. The heavenly soldiers and generals surrounded the South Sea. Chao Lan told Yu Mo and the others to escape through a secret passage. Yan Dan had no choice but to bring Tao Ziqi along.

The heavenly soldiers and generals shot countless arrows, and Tao Ziqi blocked an arrow for Yan Dan. The group of four, Yu Mo, Yan Dan, Ying Yuan, and Tao Ziqi, entered the secret passage. The heavenly soldiers and generals quickly pursued. Yan Dan suspected something was wrong with Tao Ziqi's wound. Ying Yuan discovered the arrows had Pursuit Incense on them.

Once Tao Ziqi was hit by an arrow, the heavenly soldiers and generals could track them based on the Pursuit Incense. Tao Ziqi made every effort to defend herself and even wanted to die to prove her innocence. Yu Mo, in a fit of anger, wanted to kill Tao Ziqi, but Yan Dan wanted to keep Tao Ziqi to investigate the truth of the immortal-demon war. The group of four successfully passed through the secret passage.

As soon as they stepped onto the imperial cloud boat, Star Deity Tai You arrived with heavenly soldiers. He attacked the imperial cloud boat with the Qingyi Cauldron. Yan Dan bravely jumped off the boat and fought fiercely with Star Deity Tai You, covering for Yu Mo and Ying Yuan to leave by boat. Yan Dan gradually weakened and was captured by Star Deity Tai You. Huan Qin came to play chess with Yan Dan.

Yan Dan was eager to know what scheme he used to make Tao Ziqi serve him even at the cost of her life. Huan Qin did not want to explain too much and urged Yan Dan to quickly solve the chess game, allowing her to watch Ying Yuan being killed with her own eyes. Yan Dan wanted to kill Huan Qin but was subdued by Huan Qin on the spot.

Episode 55 Recap

Ying Yuan removed the Pursuit Incense from Tao Ziqi's wound. The heavenly soldiers and generals could not find them. Yu Mo sent a message to the mountain realm, instructing someone to take Tao Ziqi away under escort. He and Ying Yuan discussed how to rescue Yan Dan. Bai Ling came to Yu Mo for help, covered in wounds. Star Deity Tai You led the heavenly soldiers in a large-scale invasion of the mountain realm. She barely escaped with her life.

Ying Yuan guessed that Star Deity Tai You wanted to take the demons hostage. He told Yu Mo to return quickly to protect the mountain realm, while he would go alone to rescue Yan Dan. Yu Mo and Bai Ling hurried back. Ying Yuan searched carefully in the various palaces of the Heavenly Realm but could not find Yan Dan. He suddenly sensed the lotus genuine energy and followed it.

He saw Yan Dan from a distance sitting there playing chess. He wanted to go and rescue her, but was blocked by the barrier set up by Huan Qin. Huan Qin held the lotus genuine energy in his hand, claiming repeatedly that he had used illusion magic to leave only Yan Dan's soul playing chess there, simply to lure Ying Yuan over. Every time Yan Dan made a move in chess, she would suffer the punishment of lightning strikes.

She was in such pain that she fainted. Ying Yuan wanted to rush over to rescue her, but Huan Qin had already transferred Yan Dan's true body. He forced Ying Yuan to hand over his immortal essence, promising to release Yan Dan. Ying Yuan had long seen through Huan Qin's greedy ambitions. Huan Qin boasted that he had already obtained the immortal essence of three Sovereign Lords and commanded millions of soldiers, making him unstoppable.

Ying Yuan knew he was no match for Huan Qin and had no choice but to leave first. Ying Yuan continued searching for Yan Dan's true body but found nothing. Celestial Deity Yueyao invited Marshal Huode and others to drink and enjoy the moon. Marshal Huode, emboldened by alcohol, complained bitterly that both of them had been demoted and were under reflection. Ying Yuan had achieved countless military merits, yet Supreme Majesty had been so harsh on him.

Ying Yuan happened to find his way there. Marshal Huode and Celestial Deity Yueyao were very happy. A large group of heavenly soldiers soon pursued them. Celestial Deity Yueyao refused to open the door and continued drinking and enjoying the moon with the other immortals. The heavenly soldiers insisted on entering to search. Marshal Huode flew into a rage, cursing them angrily, and only then did the heavenly soldiers reluctantly leave.

Ying Yuan inquired with Celestial Deity Yueyao about where Yan Dan was being held. She knew nothing about it. Ying Yuan asked Marshal Huode to help him with something. Qing Yun suddenly burst in with heavenly soldiers. He gave an order for the heavenly soldiers to arrest Ying Yuan. Everyone exchanged glances and stood rooted to the spot. Those heavenly soldiers had followed Ying Yuan in countless battles for many years; they couldn't bring themselves to do it.

Qing Yun killed a heavenly soldier on the spot. Ying Yuan severely punished Qing Yun. The heavenly soldiers all knelt on the ground to see Ying Yuan off as he left. Qing Yun returned to report back to Huan Qin. Huan Qin did not believe that Ying Yuan would disregard Yan Dan's life and death. He personally led troops down to the mortal realm to capture Ying Yuan.

Based on the positions of the chess pieces Yan Dan had played, Ying Yuan deduced that she was imprisoned in the Ye Wang Chuan. Ying Yuan indeed found Yan Dan in the Ye Wang Chuan and rescued her onto the shore. Yan Dan had guessed that Ying Yuan would come to save her and intentionally made three wrong moves to give him a hint. Huan Qin brought troops to Ye Wang Chuan to capture Ying Yuan.

The sword spirit stood out to protect Ying Yuan and was injured by Huan Qin. Ying Yuan swore that he would take Yan Dan away even if it meant leveling the Ye Wang Chuan. Huan Qin then threatened him with the lives of the demons of Ya Lan Mountain. Star Deity Tai You led his troops and captured Yu Mo and the demons. As long as Huan Qin gave the order, he would burn these demons alive.

Ying Yuan disregarded Yan Dan's dissuasion, took out his immortal essence, and handed it to Huan Qin. Yan Dan quickly snatched the immortal essence back. She didn't trust Huan Qin and told him to first release the demons and withdraw the heavenly soldiers. Huan Qin had no choice but to yield. After the heavenly soldiers left, Huan Qin revealed his true colors.

He wanted to test the power of the Qiankun Yin and used it to seize Ying Yuan's immortal essence. Ying Yuan and Yan Dan teamed up to trap Huan Qin using the Bu Li Suo which follows one closely. Ying Yuan took the opportunity to pierce Huan Qin's body with the Ren Hun Sword. If the person who set the Bu Li Suo dies, the Ren Hun Sword will remain forever lodged in Huan Qin's chest.

Qing Yun hurried to report to Huan Qin that Marshal Huode had moved the Heavenly Bell to the North Heaven Gate, the border between Ye Wang Chuan and the Heavenly Realm. He had also summoned all the immortals, and he wanted to personally report to Huan Qin. Ying Yuan had previously asked Marshal Huode to come to Ye Wang Chuan to witness Huan Qin's true nature, but unexpectedly, he took the immortals to the North Heaven Gate.

Huan Qin didn't want the immortals to see him in this state and wanted to see Marshal Huode the next day. However, he insisted on seeing Huan Qin now. Yan Dan and Ying Yuan went to the mountain realm together. If the demons were safe and sound, Huan Qin's Bu Li Suo would naturally be undone. Star Deity Tai You led the heavenly soldiers to withdraw from the mountain realm.

Yu Mo told Zi Lin to take the demons back, while he wanted to go find Yan Dan and Ying Yuan. The two arrived shortly after. Yan Dan saw that the demons were safe and sound, so she deactivated the Bu Li Suo. Huan Qin returned to the Heavenly Realm. Marshal Huode led the immortals to wait at the North Heaven Gate and even rang the Heavenly Bell.

Huan Qin claimed that Ying Yuan had rebelled and attempted to assassinate him, so he had to bring troops to suppress it. Marshal Huode and Celestial Deity Yueyao completely rejected this, even citing the heavenly rules, stating that if Huan Qin wanted to deploy troops, he must first discuss it with everyone. Qing Yun stepped forward to defend Huan Qin. Marshal Huode took the opportunity to propose that Huan Qin should give Ying Yuan justice. Celestial Deity Yueyao also knelt down to plead for Ying Yuan. The immortals all spoke in favor of Ying Yuan. Marshal Huode asked Huan Qin to re-examine Ying Yuan's case.

Episode 56 Recap

Yu Mo is busy healing the injured little demons every day, wanting to settle the demons in the mountain realm properly before coming to meet Ying Yuan and the others. Ying Yuan is full of self-blame, feeling that he has implicated Ya Lan Mountain in this disaster. Yan Dan gently advised him; he was willing to destroy his immortal essence for the mountain realm, and everyone is full of gratitude towards him.

Yan Dan used her true form's petals to make a nourishing soup for Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan took the opportunity to propose staying with her forever. Yan Dan knows that Ying Yuan cares about the common people and doesn't want to drag him down because of matters of the heart. What's more, Yan Dan also has someone she wants to protect.

Ying Yuan wants to handle the troubles in the Heavenly Realm properly, then he will never be the Sovereign Lord again and only wants to be with Yan Dan. Yan Dan, however, feels that they can never go back. Ying Yuan uses the divine artifact Dizhi to restore his immortal power, wanting to recover as soon as possible and be ready to fight Huan Qin to the death at any time.

Ying Yuan knows that Huan Qin will not give up easily and will definitely start targeting the various Immortal Pavilions. Yan Dan happens to know an Immortal Pavilion that no one pays attention to and wants to go there to plan the next step after Ying Yuan's injuries heal. Yan Dan, Yu Mo, and Ying Yuan came together to find Tao Ziqi, forcing her to reveal the secret in her heart.

Tao Ziqi saw that Yan Dan was safe and sound and knew that the general situation was lost. She pulled out the hairpin from her head, wanting to atone for her sins with death. Yu Mo took action to stop her. Yan Dan discovered a large new scar on the back of Tao Ziqi's neck, clearly wanting to erase something.

Ying Yuan recognized it as the Neighbor Seeking Art of the Demon race; once it is planted on a person's body, even if they are separated by vast distances, one can know where the other person is. Yan Dan guessed this was planted on Tao Ziqi by Liu Weiyang. The reason Tao Ziqi concealed the Neighbor Seeking Art was because she didn't want them to find Liu Weiyang.

Ying Yuan decided to use the Neighbor Seeking Art to deduce Liu Weiyang's whereabouts in reverse. Ying Yuan found out that Liu Weiyang was imprisoned in the Demon's Visage, so he brought Yan Dan and Yu Mo to rescue her. Liu Weiyang woke up. Seeing the unconscious Tao Ziqi, she quickly woke her up. Yu Mo asked Tao Ziqi to tell Liu Weiyang the truth. Tao Ziqi repeatedly claimed that the Supreme Majesty threatened her with Liu Weiyang's life.

Liu Weiyang forgave her past actions and even voluntarily took the blame for her. Ying Yuan and Yan Dan sternly denounced Tao Ziqi's actions of helping the wicked one by one. Tao Ziqi desperately defended herself, but Yan Dan and the others simply didn't believe her. Tao Ziqi jumped into the Demon's Visage, wanting to atone for her sins with death. Liu Weiyang quickly rescued her and swore to clear her of suspicion.

Despite Yan Dan, Ying Yuan, and Yu Mo's earnest persuasion, Liu Weiyang firmly believed that Tao Ziqi was innocent. Yan Dan, Ying Yuan, and Yu Mo discussed and decided to have Liu Weiyang testify against Huan Qin. Finally, the three of them drank together and had a pleasant conversation. Ying Yuan personally made two peace amulets using the Sala Tree from under the ancient god's seat and gave them to Yan Dan and Yu Mo.

Yu Mo was very fond of it and couldn't put it down. He gave the cookbook manual he had compiled to Ying Yuan, which contained all of Yan Dan's favorite foods. Yan Dan instructed Yu Mo not to act recklessly tomorrow; all three of them must return safely. Huan Qin set up a banquet at Yaochi Pond to soothe the shock of the immortals, swearing to capture Ying Yuan and restore peace to the three realms.

Star Deity Tai You also chimed in from the side, furiously cursing Ying Yuan as a rebel. Yan Dan, Ying Yuan, and Yu Mo suddenly arrived at Yaochi Pond. Huan Qin was enraged and embarrassed and wanted to arrest Ying Yuan. Liu Weiyang arrived in time and used puppetry to expose Huan Qin's true face. The immortals were stunned speechless, never expecting that the Supreme Majesty before them was actually Huan Qin.

Huan Qin pretended to be calm and falsely accused Liu Weiyang of using demonic arts to turn him into Huan Qin's appearance, claiming it was to cooperate with Ying Yuan and sow discord between him and the immortals. Ying Yuan used his magic power to tear open Huan Qin's belt, revealing the waist-worn sword inside. The immortals recognized it as the sword Huan Qin carried with him, confirming that he was impersonating the Supreme Majesty.

Yu Mo publicly exposed that Huan Qin had killed the Supreme Majesty and used puppetry to impersonate the Supreme Majesty, asking the immortals to verify the truth in the divine coffin. Ying Yuan publicly stated that the Supreme Majesty once cut off his own flesh to feed an eagle and asked Huan Qin to take off his clothes to verify his true body. Huan Qin was instantly speechless.

He gave Star Deity Tai You a look, and Star Deity Tai You quietly left. Huan Qin repeatedly claimed that he had gone through life and death for the peace of the Heavenly Realm, narrowly escaping death multiple times. He said that the Supreme Majesty not only did not confer upon him the title of Sovereign Lord but also dismissed him with a piece of refined steel.

Huan Qin then forged the refined steel into a sword and hung it at his waist to constantly remind himself not to forget the humiliation of yesterday. Huan Qin mocked Xuan Ye for ruining his life for a woman. He fought with his life to gain a clean bloodline, and in the end, he still had to risk his life for Xuan Ye's son. He was unwilling. Ying Yuan admitted that he is a descendant of the Asura Totem.

He cares about the common people, but Huan Qin only has power in his heart. Yan Dan, Ying Yuan, and Yu Mo listed Huan Qin's numerous crimes one by one, including using Tao Ziqi to provoke the war between the immortals and demons, as well as the crimes of annihilating the Nine-Fin race. Huan Qin confessed without hesitation and even boasted greatly about using the Asura Totem to deal with the Nine-Fin race.

When the Nine-Fin race was defeated, he then sent the Dragon race to lure them all into a valley and annihilate them in one fell swoop. Yu Mo swore to avenge his people. The Supreme Majesty discovered Huan Qin's true face, but it was too late. Huan Qin absorbed the immortal essence of the three Sovereign Lords and then killed the Supreme Majesty, but he could not destroy his immortal body.

So Huan Qin used puppetry to transform the Supreme Majesty into his own appearance and sealed him in a coffin. Ying Yuan wanted to settle the score with Huan Qin. Huan Qin boasted that he would prepare a high-quality coffin for Ying Yuan. Star Deity Tai You brought heavenly soldiers to protect Huan Qin. Marshal Huode blocked their path and killed Star Deity Tai You effortlessly. Marshal Huode sent a signal to inform Ying Yuan.

Huan Qin used the Qiankun Yin to absorb all the immortal essence of the immortals. Heavenly soldiers arrived shortly after. Ying Yuan ordered them to protect the immortals. Yan Dan had previously injected the Ice Crystal Cicada into the immortal essence of the immortals. Huan Qin was completely unfazed by the cold poison. Liu Weiyang, Yu Mo, and Ying Yuan joined forces to fight against Huan Qin.

Huan Qin suddenly discovered that he had the Spirit Dispersion Pill inside his body, and his body was frozen by the cold poison. Tao Ziqi arrived in time, using earthly fire to help Huan Qin dispel the frost. Liu Weiyang was instantly dumbfounded. Only then did Yan Dan realize that the person Tao Ziqi truly loved was not Liu Weiyang, but Huan Qin. Tao Ziqi had long known that Huan Qin had the Spirit Dispersion Pill inside his body.

She pretended to jump into the Demon's Visage to commit suicide, but it was actually to absorb the earthly fire inside to save Huan Qin. Liu Weiyang could not accept the reality before her eyes. The Tao Ziqi whom she deeply loved had someone else in her heart.

Episode 57 Recap

Huan Qin admitted he had long seen Tao Ziqi as someone he could use; they each got what they needed. Yan Dan desperately advised Tao Ziqi not to be foolish, saying Huan Qin had been using her to achieve his ambitions. Tao Ziqi was completely devoted to Huan Qin and remained unrepentant. Back then, Huan Qin instructed Tao Ziqi to seduce Liu Weiyang, promising to stay with Tao Ziqi for the rest of his life if it succeeded.

Tao Ziqi believed him implicitly and was willing to sacrifice herself to trigger the war between the immortals and demons. Tao Ziqi gradually ran out of strength and finally fainted in Huan Qin's arms. Liu Weiyang didn't want to watch Tao Ziqi die for Huan Qin and desperately tried to save her, but was blocked by a barrier set up by Huan Qin. Tao Ziqi woke up faintly.

She knew that Huan Qin loved power more than he loved her, but she still deeply loved Huan Qin and was willing to die in his arms. Tao Ziqi passed away in Huan Qin's embrace. Liu Weiyang was heartbroken and sat dejectedly on the ground. Huan Qin threatened to make everyone pay for Tao Ziqi's death. He used the Qiankun Yin to pressure Yan Dan, Yu Mo, and Ying Yuan step by step.

The three of them joined forces with Huan Qin in a desperate battle. Yu Mo and Yan Dan were quickly defeated. Ying Yuan fought Huan Qin alone, and their fight was inseparable. Yan Dan and Yu Mo launched surprise attacks on Huan Qin from front and back. Huan Qin was caught off guard, had his arm cut off. He struggled to continue fighting. Liu Weiyang gradually regained consciousness.

She realized that Huan Qin's power was profound and worried that Yan Dan and the other two were no match for him. Only by cutting off his immortal power at the source could they win. Liu Weiyang disregarded the dissuasion of Yan Dan, Ying Yuan, and Yu Mo. She leaped up to stop Huan Qin, fighting him to the death. The Heavenly Realm shook violently and was on the verge of collapsing.

Huan Qin struggled to get up and seize the opportunity to escape. Thanks to Ying Yuan, he averted the catastrophe. Marshal Huode ordered all of Huan Qin's followers to be arrested. He nominated Ying Yuan to be the Supreme Majesty and preside over the overall situation. The immortals unanimously agreed. Ying Yuan agreed to temporarily take charge of the Heavenly Realm and leave once Huan Qin was captured and everything was settled.

His attitude was firm, and Marshal Huode did not press him further. Ying Yuan knew that Si Mu was a descendant of the Three-Winged Tribe and hated the Supreme Majesty's actions of annihilating the Three-Winged Tribe, which was why he defected to Huan Qin. Ying Yuan demoted him to the mortal realm to become a bird.

Si Mu, in turn, questioned why Ying Yuan didn't hate the Supreme Majesty, stating that the Supreme Majesty forced Ying Yuan to abandon love and affection, so Ying Yuan could only hide Yan Dan in his heart. Ying Yuan didn't want to explain too much and forbade Si Mu from slandering the Supreme Majesty.

Ying Yuan led the immortals in burying the Supreme Majesty and Zhi Xi, ordered the relocation of the Nine-Fin race casualties to the Imperial Mausoleum, restored the Nine-Fin Ancestral Temple, and recompiled the Heavenly Annals. He also had the Water Tribe and Dragon race come to pay their respects, establishing a White Jade Heroes' Tomb for the Nine-Fin race, inscribing the names of the martyrs on it, to demonstrate virtue to future generations and ensure eternal grace.

Yan Dan came to Zhi Xi's room and saw the items she left behind. Seeing the objects brought back memories of Zhi Xi, and Yan Dan was filled with mixed emotions. Ying Yuan injected his blood into silver needles and had an immortal attendant take them to save the immortals. Yan Dan watched clearly from the side. Ying Yuan secretly sent a brush flying out to ambush Yan Dan. Yan Dan cleverly dodged it.

She saw that Liu Weiyang was unwilling to face Tao Ziqi's betrayal even unto death. She decided to forgive Tangzhou and told Ying Yuan to properly recover his immortal energy. Yan Dan turned to leave, and Ying Yuan quietly stood behind her. Their eyes met, full of affection. Ying Yuan took Yan Dan flying on a divine beast to roam the starry sky. There were countless wish lanterns in the air.

Seeing this scene, Yan Dan was moved and couldn't help but think of the emotional entanglement between Tao Ziqi, Liu Weiyang, and Huan Qin. She wanted to write these into the "Record of the Mortal Realm," thinking that those who read it would surely find it exciting, unaware of the heartache and pain the three of them had experienced. Ying Yuan advised her not to overthink it.

Yan Dan asked Ying Yuan to help two mortals fulfill their wishes, and Ying Yuan promised to also help her fulfill her heart's desires. Huan Qin saw the Love-Severing Thread on his wrist and couldn't help but think of Tao Ziqi. Back then, Tao Ziqi secretly used the Love-Severing Thread to test him and found that Huan Qin also genuinely loved her. Tao Ziqi was overjoyed and vowed to help him fulfill his dreams.

Recalling the past, Huan Qin realized that Tao Ziqi was the most loyal person to him. He swore to avenge Tao Ziqi and used the Golden Cicada Wings to repair his damaged immortal essence. Celestial Deity Yueyao worried that Huan Qin would make a comeback and attack the Heavenly Realm.

Marshal Huode volunteered to descend to the mortal realm to search for Huan Qin, but Huan Qin could transform using puppetry, making it impossible to know where to look for him. Yu Mo suggested Ying Yuan take the risk to set up a formation; only after finding the Three Divine Artifacts could he reshape his immortal essence. Yan Dan suggested a two-pronged approach. Si Mu was demoted to the mortal realm.

He unintentionally overheard that Huan Qin's Power of Ten Thousand Demons was completely lost. As long as Ying Yuan gathered the Three Divine Artifacts and reshaped his immortal essence, he could completely defeat Huan Qin.

Episode 58 Recap

To lure Huan Qin in, Yu Mo released one of his former followers as bait, but Ying Yuan least wanted that person to be Si Mu. Huan Qin happened to choose Si Mu. When Si Mu was demoted to the mortal realm, Ying Yuan had Lu Jing add a secret message when casting a spell on him.

Huan Qin rescued Si Mu, promising to clear the Three-Winged Tribe's name as a guilty tribe when he retook the position of Supreme Majesty. Ying Yuan used the secret message to remind Si Mu not to believe Huan Qin's nonsense. Si Mu surprisingly revealed that Ying Yuan had set him up as bait. Huan Qin had already guessed that Ying Yuan would do this.

Si Mu revealed that Ying Yuan would recover the Three Divine Artifacts and reshape his immortal essence five days later. Huan Qin decided to go and stop him. Si Mu claimed he was tired and wanted to rest. As soon as Huan Qin left, Si Mu self-destructed and died. Once a divine artifact recognizes a master, it's hard to change. If one wants to set up this formation to make it recognize a new master, they must bet their life.

Midway, the immortal power will completely dissipate. The caster is extremely vulnerable and will die from a single blow. Only after forming a covenant with the divine artifact can the immortal essence be reshaped. Yu Mo and Yan Dan both knew that Ying Yuan's immortal power was greatly depleted. If the Three Divine Artifacts entered his body simultaneously, the divine power might be unbearable for him.

Yu Mo decided to enter the formation with Ying Yuan to share his pain and risk. Yan Dan would use her lotus True Qi to protect them from being disturbed by Huan Qin. Ying Yuan didn't want to burden them, but he couldn't resist their earnest pleading. Ying Yuan and Yu Mo agreed that after everything settled, the two of them would have a match.

Lu Jing rushed to report to Ying Yuan, saying Si Mu had been rescued by Huan Qin. Yu Mo decided to return to Yelanshan to prepare. Yan Dan wanted to go back with Yu Mo; she had long considered Yelanshan her home and wanted to spend some good time with her family before the great battle. Leng Jiang earnestly advised Ying Yuan not to risk setting up the formation to repair his immortal essence.

His body contained the divine power of Ran Qing and Xuan Ye. As long as he released the Supreme Majesty's primordial spirit, he could easily eliminate Huan Qin using the divine power. Not only could he resurrect the Supreme Majesty, but also the unjustly killed Asura Totem people. Ying Yuan worried that restarting the uncontrollable Asura Totem bloodline would harm the innocent and bring disaster to the three realms.

Leng Jiang reminded him that he was the young master of the Asura Totem and should revive his clan. Ying Yuan didn't want to be the young master of the Asura Totem and advised Leng Jiang to let go of his obsession, not to follow in Si Mu's footsteps, and told him to go to the Pool of Eight Sufferings to forget the past and live freely in the mortal realm.

Leng Jiang wanted to help him one more time, but Ying Yuan flatly refused. Chao Lan heard that Yu Mo was going to fight Huan Qin to the death tomorrow, so she came to see him overnight, advising him to express his feelings to Yan Dan. Yu Mo didn't want to add pressure to Yan Dan; as long as Yan Dan was happy, it was enough.

Lu Jing discovered that Ying Yuan was gone and immediately came to report to Yan Dan. Yan Dan told him to take people to search. Yan Dan searched everywhere, finally finding Ying Yuan drowning his sorrows by the lotus pond outside Gou Dan Residence. Ying Yuan was already heavily drunk and unconscious, thinking Yan Dan appeared in his dream. Yan Dan was curious when Ying Yuan built this lotus pond.

Ying Yuan admitted that he recognized Yan Dan back then when he was punishing himself in Di Ya. Although everyone said Zhi Xi had carved out her heart to save him, he believed that person was Yan Dan. Because the Supreme Majesty made him cut off love and affection, Ying Yuan forcefully suppressed his feelings for Yan Dan, which was why he built this lotus pond.

Ying Yuan used the influence of alcohol to pour out his grievances to Yan Dan, saying that during the immortal-demon war, it was his fault that the three great Sovereign Lords and Celestial Deity Beiming were killed. Yan Dan advised him not to take all the responsibility upon himself, but Ying Yuan just couldn't let it go. Yan Dan complained that Ying Yuan shouldn't have erased their beautiful memories. Ying Yuan felt that such heartbreaking torment was too painful.

What he was drinking now was the Ruyuan wine brewed by Yan Dan, but they could never go back. Ying Yuan admitted he was wrong. Yan Dan couldn't help but kiss him. The two kissed affectionately. Ying Yuan woke up groggily, seeing the agarwood burner with wisps of smoke. He recalled the sweet and passionate moment with Yan Dan last night, knowing it wasn't a dream.

Yu Mo, Yan Dan, and Ying Yuan came to the Demon Image together and summoned the Three Divine Artifacts. Yan Dan and Yu Mo helped Ying Yuan set up the formation. Huan Qin wanted to stop Ying Yuan, but was blocked at the entrance by heavenly soldiers and generals. He effortlessly defeated them and swaggered in to find Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan had been waiting for a long time. He and Huan Qin started a fierce fight.

Huan Qin pressed him step by step and tightly gripped his neck. Unexpectedly, the Ying Yuan in front of him was Yan Dan. Huan Qin was so angry he gritted his teeth. Ying Yuan rescued Yan Dan. Yu Mo and Huan Qin fought together. Ying Yuan complained that Yan Dan shouldn't have fought Huan Qin head-on. He had set up a formation in the vines; as long as Yan Dan trapped Huan Qin, it would be enough.

Yan Dan worried that if Huan Qin saw she was deliberately delaying time, he would break through all the vines, putting Yu Mo and Ying Yuan's lives in danger, so Yan Dan had to fight him head-on. This was Yan Dan's two-pronged plan: having Ying Yuan set up the formation to collect the divine artifacts to deal with Huan Qin.

If this method didn't work, she would lure Huan Qin into the Demon Image, making him see the Four Great Sovereign Lords he feared the most. They could eliminate Huan Qin with the help of the Sovereign Lords. As long as she held Huan Qin back for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, he would disappear along with the Demon Image.

Yan Dan lit an incense stick and called Yu Mo and Ying Yuan to enter the Demon Image together. Huan Qin followed closely behind. Yan Dan saw the Three Great Sovereign Lords, but Ying Yuan suddenly disappeared. She and Yu Mo searched everywhere. Ying Yuan met up with the Three Great Sovereign Lords. They joined forces to deal with Huan Qin. Huan Qin quickly defeated them.

He summoned Xuan Ye to fight Ying Yuan, reminding Ying Yuan that he was a descendant of the Asura Totem. Xuan Ye ruthlessly attacked Ying Yuan. The father and son were relentless, fighting an inseparable battle. Leng Jiang gathered all his divine power and cultivation into his spiritual core, injected it into Ying Yuan's body from behind, striking out the primordial spirit that suppressed Ying Yuan's bloodline. Huan Qin killed Leng Jiang on the spot.

The Supreme Majesty's primordial spirit was struck out of Ying Yuan's body. The Supreme Majesty in the divine coffin gradually woke up. Xuan Ye and Ying Yuan, father and son, fought each other, and both ended up injured.

Episode 59 (Ending) Recap

Xuan Ye asked Ying Yuan to use his Asura Totem bloodline to overturn the three realms, rule all beings, and restore the Asura Totem. Ying Yuan didn't expect that the first time Xuan Ye saw him, he was still so obstinate. Xuan Ye was furious. Although Ying Yuan looked very much like him, his temperament followed Ran Qing. Xuan Ye prided himself on the Asura Totem's divine power being invincible, but he was cursed by Heaven with a short life.

He felt it was unfair, and only by killing to save himself could he exist eternally. Ying Yuan retorted that it was because of Xuan Ye's obsession that the Asura Totem became a target of public criticism, eventually leading to the clan's destruction. Xuan Ye pushed all the blame onto Ran Qing, claiming that if he hadn't developed feelings for Ran Qing, he absolutely would not have failed.

Ying Yuan condemned him for harming countless lives for the sake of eternal life. Ying Yuan handed Xuan Ye the miniature portrait of his mother Ran Qing, thanked Xuan Ye for giving him life, and urged Xuan Ye to stop early and not remain stubbornly unrepentant. Xuan Ye was deeply moved by Ying Yuan's words. Ying Yuan helped him extend his life, and he finally understood the meaning of eternal life.

Ran Qing came to see Xuan Ye, thanking Ying Yuan for making their reunion possible. Ying Yuan swore that in his next life, he would still be a family with them. Xuan Ye and Ran Qing left hand in hand. Ying Yuan bid farewell to his parents with tears in his eyes. Huan Qin witnessed Ying Yuan overcoming his inner demons, but the Asura bloodline within him was destined to bring catastrophe to the three realms.

Ying Yuan had no escape. Huan Qin used his divine power to eliminate the boundaries between the immortal and demon realms, restarting the immortal-demon war. He forced Ying Yuan to make a choice: if he continued to stay in the Demon Image and fight him, he couldn't protect the peace of the three realms. Ying Yuan swore he would kill him first. Ying Yuan and Huan Qin engaged in a desperate final battle.

Huan Qin saw that Ying Yuan wanted to perish together with him and dodged in fright. Ying Yuan pressed him step by step, knocking him to the ground. Yan Dan and Yu Mo rushed to help. The three of them joined forces against Huan Qin. Ying Yuan revealed that Leng Jiang had struck the Supreme Majesty's primordial spirit out of his body. He didn't know what would happen next and had long prepared to perish with Huan Qin.

He told Yu Mo to take Yan Dan and leave, but Yan Dan firmly refused. Ying Yuan forcefully drove them away. Yan Dan didn't want to lose Ying Yuan. She pushed Yu Mo away and re-entered the Demon Image despite the danger, directly encountering Huan Qin. Huan Qin ruthlessly attacked Yan Dan, severely injuring her. Ying Yuan arrived in time to save her, inflicting severe internal injuries on Huan Qin. Huan Qin struggled to get up and resist.

Ying Yuan struck him into ashes. Yan Dan vowed never to be separated from Ying Yuan again. Yu Mo rushed over to meet them. The three of them didn't have time to celebrate their hard-won victory. Celestial Deity Yueyao rushed to report to Ying Yuan that the barrier set by Supreme Majesty Yuanzun had broken, and the Asura undead army was now attacking the three realms.

Marshal Huode was protecting the immortal realm, while the demon realm and mortal realm were weak and could not hold on. Ying Yuan told Yan Dan to follow Yu Mo back to Yelanshan and that he would find them after the rebellion was suppressed. Yan Dan insisted on staying to help Ying Yuan, letting Yu Mo return alone to protect the demons in the mountain territory. Ying Yuan's Asura bloodline suddenly erupted. He was in extreme pain.

Yu Mo and Yan Dan joined forces to suppress it, but to no avail. Ying Yuan suddenly went mad. Yan Dan wanted to go and wake him up, but Yu Mo held her back tightly, fearing that Ying Yuan would be annihilated in both body and spirit. Yan Dan disregarded Yu Mo's dissuasion and rushed forward to help Ying Yuan suppress the bloodline. Ying Yuan tightly gripped Yan Dan's neck.

Yan Dan desperately pleaded with Ying Yuan not to fall into demonhood, promising to live happily with him as a couple after the great battle. Ying Yuan couldn't help but recall their past moments together in the immortal and mortal realms, where they depended on each other. He forcefully calmed himself down. Yan Dan hugged him tightly, promising to protect him from now on. Ying Yuan admitted that his love for Yan Dan had never changed from beginning to end.

He wanted to use his primordial spirit to form a barrier to protect the peace of the three realms. The celestial beings desperately advised Ying Yuan, but Ying Yuan asked them to wait for the Supreme Majesty to awaken and retake charge of the overall situation. He entrusted them to tell the Supreme Majesty to abolish the rule in the immortal realm that forbids love. Celestial Deity Yueyao promised to tell the Supreme Majesty.

Yan Dan desperately begged Ying Yuan to abandon his idea, but Ying Yuan had already made up his mind. Only by reshaping the barrier could he protect Yan Dan and the safety of all living beings in the world. Ying Yuan used his primordial spirit to set up the barrier. Yan Dan rushed over, wanting to embrace him, but he had already disappeared. Yan Dan was heartbroken and grief-stricken.

She felt life was unbearable and also destroyed her primordial spirit to accompany Ying Yuan. Yu Mo desperately tried to stop her, but it was too late. He could only watch as Yan Dan perished like fragrant jade. From that day on, the three realms returned to peace and tranquility.
