Ancient Love Poetry Episode 6 Recap
> Ancient Love Poetry Recap
Shanggu, dressed in simple-colored clothes, came to find Bai Jue. Bai Jue was not in the hall, so she had to take the kite and prepare to go out to play with it herself. Unexpectedly, Xue Ying also came to find Bai Jue. She damaged Shanggu's kite and spoke wildly to Shanggu, saying that Shanggu had merely taken advantage of her identity as the Chief God of Chaos; otherwise, with her conduct, how could she catch Bai Jue's eye?
Xue Ying laughed at Shanggu's low spiritual power, claiming she was unworthy to be the master of the three realms. She wanted to have a match with Shanggu to make Shanggu lose convincingly. Shanggu readily agreed, and the two competed in the Peach Spring Forest, witnessed by many God Lords. Bai Jue watched the match between the two from nearby.
Shanggu's moves were superior to Xue Ying's, but Xue Ying temporarily used a spell and narrowly won a round against Shanggu. Shanggu did not expect Xue Ying to cheat by using a spell. In anger, she summoned the Ancient Emperor Sword. Xue Ying, relying on Shanggu's promise before the match not to use the Ancient Emperor Sword, scoffed at Shanggu, causing the gathered gods to also discuss Shanggu among themselves. Bai Jue intended to protect Shanggu.
He stepped forward and stopped the matter, declaring that Xue Ying had only won by cheating, not fairly and squarely, and dismissed the crowd. Afterward, Bai Jue also reprimanded Shanggu, believing that what Shanggu should cultivate most was her temperament. She bore the heavy responsibility for the world; how could she make a fuss here just because of a few words from Xue Ying and some God Lords? And the kite Xue Ying broke was just a kite.
Hearing Bai Jue's words, Shanggu left with a dejected expression. To her, that kite was not a simple kite. Xue Ying stopped Bai Jue in Changyuan Hall. She pretentiously claimed she would do anything to appease Shanggu. Bai Jue saw through Xue Ying's facade. Playing along with Xue Ying's words, he drew a thousand years of spiritual power from Xue Ying as punishment and warned Xue Ying not to step into Changyuan Hall again.
Bai Jue ordered someone to send Xue Ying's thousand years of spiritual power to Shanggu, but Shanggu was unwilling to accept this apology gift. She was very angry with Bai Jue, but also worried that she was not perfect in Bai Jue's eyes because of her admiration for him. Bai Jue repaired the kite in Changyuan Hall. He told Hong Ri to put it away, stating that it would not be needed again.
Starting tomorrow, he would change his cultivation to learning the art of governance. Although he knew Shanggu had been wronged today and that Shanggu was diligent enough, if he were to be soft-hearted and lax for a moment, Shanggu would be in extreme danger in the future. For many days, Bai Jue had been unable to persuade Shanggu to come to Changyuan Hall for lessons. When he came to Zhiyang's place, however, he happened to meet Shanggu.
Zhiyang knew the two were still having a spat, so he just asked Shanggu to come and sit with them, and told Shanggu about Bai Jue drawing a thousand years of spiritual power from Xue Ying. Upon learning this, Shanggu immediately became happy and was no longer angry with Bai Jue. Zhiyang brought up the matter of Shanggu going to Wutong Forest to choose a divine beast. Tianqi wanted to accompany Shanggu, but was refused by Shanggu.
Shanggu only wanted to go with Bai Jue. Bai Jue refused Shanggu on the grounds that he had other matters. He could not be by Shanggu's side for everything; choosing a divine beast was a major event for Shanggu and an opportunity for her to grow on her own. Feng Yun came to the God Realm to see Bai Jue, stating that Feng Yan's primordial spirit was stolen during her nirvana and rebirth.
The Phoenix King undergoes nirvana three times in its life. Only after severing all seven emotions and becoming eternally indestructible can it become the strongest among divine beasts. Each time it undergoes nirvana and rebirth, it loses all previous memories and emotions. The one who stole the primordial spirit this time was Wuxi. He and Feng Yan were childhood sweethearts.
He was originally the ancestor of the Wutong tree and had guarded the Phoenix clan for tens of thousands of years, always loyal to the Phoenix clan, but he committed this outrageous act because of love. Wuxi committed this great mistake. Bai Jue planned to find Feng Yan's primordial spirit and then execute Wuxi's primordial spirit according to divine rules.
However, Wuxi had now concealed his aura and entered the territory of the Immortal Realm, making him extremely difficult to track down. Shanggu smiled cleverly, saying that she had a way to find Wuxi's whereabouts. Shanggu and Bai Jue entered the territory of the Immortal Realm together. Before coming, Shanggu had requested portraits of Feng Yan and Wuxi, preparing to use the Immortal Seeking Bell to find Wuxi's trace.
On the other side at this time, Wuxi restored Feng Yan's primordial spirit to a human form. The two expressed their affection for each other. Feng Yan, steeped in love, prepared to elope with Wuxi and no longer undergo nirvana and rebirth. The two embraced tightly. Wuxi heard the sound of the Immortal Seeking Bell not far away. He went out alone to lure Bai Jue and Shanggu away, leaving a Wutong leaf from the same root for Feng Yan.
This Wutong leaf would guide Feng Yan to him. Bai Jue and Shanggu arrived at a restaurant. Wuxi attracted their attention, preparing to draw them away. Bai Jue went out to chase Wuxi, but Shanggu stayed in the restaurant. After a moment's thought, she guessed that Feng Yan's primordial spirit was still in the restaurant, and thus easily found Feng Yan. Shanggu did not reveal her true identity.
Instead, she gained Feng Yan's trust under the name of a passing low-level immortal and sat at the same table to drink with Feng Yan. After a conversation, Shanggu learned of Feng Yan's predicament caused by love. Feng Yan also recognized Shanggu. However, Shanggu still stubbornly decided to let Feng Yan go, unwilling to break up a loving couple. Feng Yan went to meet Wuxi. Shanggu got heavily drunk in the restaurant. Bai Jue came to Shanggu's side.
Shanggu, emboldened by the alcohol, kissed Bai Jue. When Bai Jue's heart was in turmoil, he cast a spell on Shanggu, telling her to rest well. At this time, the three realms already knew about Feng Yan. The Demon and Devil clans, as well as the people from South Sea City, were coveting Feng Yan's primordial spirit. Feng Yan and Wuxi were in a dangerous situation, and he had to find the two of them as quickly as possible.
Wuxi found a secluded paradise, preparing to stay with Feng Yan for life. However, he did not expect that the people from South Sea City had already discovered their traces. They broke the barrier, intending to take Feng Yan's primordial spirit.
