Flying up without Disturb Episode 30 Recap
> Flying up without Disturb Recap
As the Ascension Ceremony approached, a mysterious visitor cautioned Jiu Su to be exceedingly careful, emphasizing that not even the slightest error could be tolerated. The visitor warned Jiu Su specifically about Kong Hou potentially allying with Master Zhong Xi, whom Jiu Su dismissed as useless due to his depleted cultivation. Jiu Su boasted that he and Kong Hou were united as siblings.
The visitor countered, suggesting Kong Hou only obeyed because Jiu Su was leveraging Zhong Xi, and questioned if she truly saw him as a brother. Jiu Su asserted that it was not up to her. The mysterious person reiterated the need for caution, particularly against arrogance, and urged Jiu Su to keep a close watch on Kong Hou, threatening severe consequences if she disrupted the ascension.
Annoyed, Jiu Su told the visitor to leave, but the visitor departed on his own terms, insisting he would act with caution. Meanwhile, Kong Hou desperately sought the Dragonblood Herb to restore Master Zhong Xi's spiritual core. She offered various precious items, including the Infinite Divine Water gifted by her master, the popular Ruxian Fruit from Lingyou Realm, and her cherished Fairy Dress, but the herb would not budge.
Recalling that divine herbs disliked worldly objects, Kong Hou, in her desperation, played her phoenix-headed konghou. The ancient instrument's music successfully drew the Dragonblood Herb from its resting place. Kong Hou excitedly presented the Dragonblood Herb to Master Zhong Xi. She downplayed any dangers she faced and asked about his progress with the revival method he had been studying. Master Zhong Xi then demonstrated the "Harmony Sync," a technique from ancient texts, by causing flowers to bloom on a stone.
Kong Hou realized this meant they could counter Jiu Su's Ascension Array. Master Zhong Xi stated that while his individual power was limited, their combined efforts could deliver a significant surprise during Jiu Su's ceremony. To further their plans, Kong Hou, in disguise, met with Lin Hu and Fairy Ling Bo.
She explained that she and Master Zhong Xi needed more time to practice the Harmony Sync and requested their assistance: while she and Master Zhong Xi confronted Jiu Su during the ascension, Lin Hu and Ling Bo were to rescue the captive sect disciples. Ling Bo expressed concern about the peril involved, but both she and Lin Hu readily agreed to help, with Ling Bo promising they would spare no effort.
With the Dragonblood Herb, Master Zhong Xi’s spiritual core was fully restored. Soon after, cultivators from the Ten Great Sects, intended as sacrifices for the array, were brought forth. Most of them misunderstood Kong Hou's intentions, viewing her as an evil collaborator. However, Senior Ling Hui and Senior Tan Feng, her senior sister and brother, staunchly defended her.
Disregarding the captives' defiance, Jiu Su confirmed with Kong Hou that they would activate the Ascension Array at dawn the next day, and Kong Hou agreed. Back at their preparation site, Kong Hou and Master Zhong Xi discussed their need to perfect the Harmony Sync quickly. Elsewhere, Ling Bo remained anxious about their ability to defeat the formidable Jiu Su, but Lin Hu calmly advised patience and trust in Kong Hou's plan.
To lighten the mood, he returned with "Fox Laugh Grass," claiming if he ate it, he would obey her every command. Ling Bo tested it on him, and it worked, bringing a moment of levity. Later, Kong Hou asked Master Zhong Xi about Jiu Su's fate if their Harmony Sync destroyed the Ascension Array. Master Zhong Xi revealed that Jiu Su would be reduced to ashes. Kong Hou was deeply saddened, reflecting on her complex emotions.
Master Zhong Xi comforted her, saying she should follow her heart and that he wouldn't force her to harm Jiu Su. Kong Hou affirmed her desire to stop his wickedness, accepting that he would face the consequences if she succeeded. Suddenly, Jiu Su appeared, revealing he had known about their secret meetings. He scoffed at their efforts, declaring the Ascension Array would not be stopped.
Jiu Su tried to threaten Kong Hou by mentioning the Gu parasite in Master Zhong Xi, but Master Zhong Xi revealed he had already expelled it and restored his spiritual core. Unfazed, Jiu Su boasted that his cultivation had surpassed Void Unity, making him far superior. Realizing he could not defeat Jiu Su, Master Zhong Xi declared his intent to fight him to the death. Jiu Su brutally struck Master Zhong Xi down.
Heartbroken, Kong Hou cradled him as he urged her to take care of herself before succumbing to his wounds. Jiu Su, confident Kong Hou would now comply, dismissed her grief and left. Alone, Kong Hou remembered Master Huang Qi's words that the Phoenix Essence could revive the dead. She resolved to extract her Phoenix Essence to save Master Zhong Xi, knowing it meant her own life would soon end, and tearfully urged him to live on for her.
Jiu Su returned, oblivious to her sacrifice, cheerfully declaring that their ascension was imminent. He remarked that their combined power and the disciples' blood were essential, and that their parents would be pleased. Kong Hou retorted coldly that the dead had nothing to be pleased about. Jiu Su left, telling her to contemplate if Zhong Xi was worth it. Moments later, Master Zhong Xi awoke, confused. He had been killed but was now alive, and simultaneously, a thunder tribulation began.
Jiu Su witnessed it and mistakenly believed Kong Hou was undergoing the tribulation, worrying for her safety. Kong Hou realized it was Zhong Xi, whose revival was unexpectedly fast, as the Phoenix Essence usually took three days. To prevent Jiu Su from discovering the truth, Kong Hou urged him to depart for the Ascension Array, using the imminent arrival of the Ten Great Sects as a reason to avoid delay.
Meanwhile, Lin Hu received an urgent messenger talisman from Master Zhong Xi, activated by heart's blood. He insisted Ling Bo stay and wait for Kong Hou as planned, then set off alone. Master Zhong Xi, having successfully rescued the sect masters meant for sacrifice, instructed them to return for reinforcements, cautioning them about Jiu Su's Void Unity cultivation, before he set off to save Kong Hou. Jiu Su learned that Master Zhong Xi was alive and had rescued the disciples.
He angrily confronted Kong Hou, who denied any collusion and blamed his guards. Jiu Su's subordinate, Wu Bei, accused Kong Hou of conspiracy. Kong Hou retaliated, accusing Wu Bei of hiding the body to frame her and usurp her role in the ascension, reminding them all that without her, no one could ascend. Jiu Su ordered his guards to seize her but then rescinded the order, remembering he needed her Phoenix Essence.
Elsewhere, the rescued elders, including Master Wang Tong, Senior Tan Feng, and Senior Ling Hui, regrouped and expressed alarm upon learning of Jiu Su's advanced cultivation. With the Ascension Array paused, Jiu Su declared his intent to proceed the next day, stating that if the spiritual energy was impure, they would compensate with numbers. Later, Kong Hou secretly followed a mysterious black-clad figure who escaped but left behind some clues.
Jiu Su found her wandering and reminded her to stay put, reiterating his decision to resume the array. As other sects raced to rendezvous with Master Zhong Xi, Jiu Su revealed his new plan at the array: he would use the newly arriving sect disciples as sacrifices. Kong Hou confronted him, revealing she had lost her Phoenix Essence. She declared that while her individual Harmony Sync power was insufficient, sacrificing her life would magnify its power infinitely.
She condemned his evil deeds and vowed to eliminate him for the sake of Lingyou Realm, proclaiming she would die with him. Jiu Su, appealing to their childhood bond, offered to abandon his revenge and ascension if she would leave with him. Kong Hou refused. Seeing her unwavering resolve, Jiu Su, enraged, declared that she and all the righteous sects would perish with him.
