Love and Redemption Recap

Episode 1 Recap

Since the primal chaos began, the heavenly realm has ruled the mortal realm and the demon realm, becoming the head of the three realms. The King Asura, for his own selfish reasons, organized a demon army to resist the heavenly realm, causing endless war.

Furthermore, the King Asura had a great general under him, the Star of Mosha - Demon Maleficent, who used this power to break the heavenly realm's army and force countless heavenly soldiers and generals outside the heavenly gate. The Heavenly Emperor and King Bailin sent out more heavenly soldiers, but they could not resist.

A strange thing suddenly happened: the Star of Mosha disappeared, and the heavenly realm's savior, the God of War, crushed the demon army in one go, scattering the demons everywhere. It is rumored that the God of War sealed the residual soul of the Star of Mosha within the divine artifact Crystal Lamp, hidden in an ancient secret realm, while the primordial spirit's whereabouts were unknown amidst the chaos. Every thousand years, there is a great upheaval.

The remaining soul recovers its vitality more and more, waiting for the opportune moment to merge into one. The demon realm is also stirring. The day the Star of Mosha's primordial spirit returns will surely be a great catastrophe between heaven and earth.

The Star Official Elder reported to the demon realm master that there was an unusual celestial phenomenon; the two stars representing Demon Maleficent - the Star of Rahu and the Star of Ketu - seemed to show signs of merging into one. And it just so happened that today, half of the Star of Mosha's primordial spirit would enter Burning Ru City to undergo tribulation.

Along with the heavenly realm, other fairies also entered the mortal realm through Burning Ru City. Only after experiencing mortal affairs could they return to the heavenly realm. Most importantly, the God of War and the Star of Mosha would reincarnate simultaneously, meaning the two sworn enemies would be born in the same year, month, and day.

Their simultaneous birth would not only not hinder the revival of the demon realm but, on the contrary, they could use the Star of Mosha's divine artifact Juntian Cehai to rescue the Star of Mosha. The demon realm master was determined to obtain the two children.

However, people from the demon realm disrupted the fairies' reincarnation, causing Chu Xuanji, who reincarnated into the mortal realm as the second daughter of the sect leader of the renowned and righteous Shaoyang Sect, to be born lacking the six senses. For sixteen years, fellow disciples would often take advantage of Xuanji's shortcomings to tease her, especially her second senior brother Chen Minjue.

Fortunately, Xuanji's older sister Chu Linglong had always protected her sister and would always help punish the fellow disciples who bullied her sister. This time, Linglong accepted Master Aunt Yinghong's order to go down the mountain to prepare for the Hairpin Tournament and planned to bring Xuanji along to prepare together. It was only after Linglong repeatedly persuaded Xuanji that she reluctantly agreed. The Hairpin Tournament was a grand event where the five major sects would compete.

Linglong was full of anticipation. The disciples of Lize Palace trained by using wolf demons to win in the Hairpin Tournament. Among them, only the Master's direct disciple, Yu Sifeng, defeated the wolf demon. The Master of Lize Palace intended to pass the position of the first disciple of Lize Palace to Yu Sifeng.

He only needed Yu Sifeng to win in the Hairpin Tournament, and he would grant him the Golden Feather Token, ordering him to manage all affairs of Lize Palace. When the disciples of Lize Palace went to Shaoyang for the competition, the foremost rule they had to follow was not to remove their masks in front of outsiders. The demon realm was still searching for news of the Star of Mosha and the God of War.

After many inquiries, they only learned the whereabouts of Juntian Cehai. This matter was related to Wu Zhiqi. To find the reincarnated individuals and the divine artifact, the demon realm sent people to infiltrate the major sects. The demon realm master believed that the children born from the reincarnation of the Star of Mosha and the God of War would surely possess extraordinary divine power.

Since the Star of Mosha and the God of War entered the Path of Deliverance at the hour of Hai (9-11 PM) on the fourth day of the fourth month, they would be born at that time. They could focus on investigating disciples from the sects who were born at the hour of Hai. Linglong was tallying the attendees at the foot of Shaoyang Mountain. Wu Tong from Dianjing Vally bullied others by relying on his power.

With just a few words of displeasure, he teased Xuanji and threw her down from mid-air. Xuanji fell into the arms of Yu Sifeng, who was walking. Little Xuanji, because she didn't want to walk up the mountain, repeatedly acted spoiled and pleaded with Yu Sifeng, pestering him until he had no choice but to take Xuanji up the mountain together. Wu Tong still wouldn't give up and even provoked Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng's stutter was also mocked.

Fortunately, the Master of Dianjing Vally and Master Aunt Yinghong appeared to stop the argument. Yu Sifeng entered Shaoyang first without waiting for everyone, dropping his name tag. Coincidentally, Yu Sifeng was born in the same year, month, and day as Xuanji. The Shaoyang sect leader was angry about Xuanji's dull aptitude. Just as he was about to scold Xuanji, Linglong next to him cried to her deceased mother, complaining that Daddy was scolding Xuanji.

The Shaoyang sect leader had to give up, out of consideration for his daughter's deceased mother. He only asked Xuanji to quickly learn the first layer of the Yaohua sword moves within ten days. But his love for his daughters was buried in his heart. Because today was Xuanji's birthday, he then ordered Xiao Liuzi to bring the longevity cake and eight treasure cake that his daughters loved.

Xuanji remembered that Yu Sifeng shared her birthday, so she brought the delicious longevity cake to Yu Sifeng. However, Yu Sifeng seemed cold and unapproachable and refused Xuanji at the door. Yu Sifeng was collecting morning dew in the peach forest to brew tea. Xuanji took a nap in the peach forest and accidentally knocked over the morning dew. The tea water was something Yu Sifeng needed to enjoy every day to aid his cultivation.

At this moment, having it knocked over by Xuanji was truly frustrating, so he spoke sarcastically, calling Xuanji useless and foolish. Xuanji explained that she was doing this because she was trying to catch a bad snake. Who knew that the bad snake was Yu Sifeng's spirit beast Xiao Yinhua? Xiao Yinhua was attracted by the peach forest and disappeared, causing Yu Sifeng and Xuanji to accidentally enter a magic array.

Yu Sifeng was slightly shy from the close contact with Xuanji, but the magic array was right before them. After Yu Sifeng deciphered it, it revealed the immortal realm barrier of the Shaoyang Sect. Xiao Yinhua was in danger, trapped within the barrier. Yu Sifeng was extremely anxious and asked Xuanji to open the barrier. Xuanji accidentally waved her hand towards the barrier and opened a hole.

Seeing how anxious Yu Sifeng was to save Xiao Yinhua, she violated the rules and opened the barrier. However, there must be something very powerful inside the barrier. Yu Sifeng told Xuanji not to enter and that he would go find it alone. Sure enough, upon entering the barrier, the monster Candel Dragon appeared. Yu Sifeng desperately resisted and struggled. Xuanji was worried about Yu Sifeng's safety and entered.

Who knew that the Candel Dragon was indeed fierce and knocked Yu Sifeng unconscious to the ground, causing him to bleed. Xuanji removed Yu Sifeng's mask to check his injuries. Only when Yu Sifeng woke up did he realize his mask was gone and anxiously searched for it.

Episode 2 Recap

The Candel Dragon attacked the two again. Chu Xuanji was knocked to the ground and cut by fragments, bleeding. As blood seeped out, the fragments showed past events in the heavenly realm. Chu Xuanji suddenly changed into the appearance of another person, taking Yu Sifeng and escaping the barrier. However, the Candel Dragon also followed them out. Fortunately, the Shaoyang Sect's eldest disciple, Hao Chen, passed by and sealed the barrier.

But there was no time to delay, Hao Chen still needed to stabilize the barrier with his master, Hengyang. The sect leader (Chu Lei) led people to the secret realm. Seeing this situation, he was furious with Chu Xuanji again. The Shaoyang secret realm is an important place of the Shaoyang Sect. Trespassing inside requires accepting punishment. The sect leader wanted to demote Chu Xuanji to Mingxia Cave for self-reflection behind closed doors.

Mingxia Cave is cold and damp, a place only disciples who receive severe punishment go. Chu Linglong and Yu Sifeng both wanted to plead for Chu Xuanji but could not. The Deputy Master of Lize Palace rushed over and saw Yu Sifeng not wearing his mask. He took the opportunity to reprimand Yu Sifeng and inquire about the secret realm's mystery. The Shaoyang Sect's primary task is guarding the secret realm.

Chu Xuanji easily entering the secret realm barrier is even more concerning. Sixteen years ago, a heavenly official descended to emphasize the importance of the secret realm. In the next twenty-five years, the barrier's power will become weaker and weaker. Furthermore, the Shaoyang ancestors prophesied that a heartless and emotionless person would open the secret realm and activate the Crystal Lamp.

The sect leader's junior brother, Luyang, mentioned that Chu Xuanji has not shed tears or shown emotion for sixteen years. Could the person who activates the Crystal Lamp be Chu Xuanji? For the safety of Shaoyang, Luyang proposed keeping Chu Xuanji locked in Mingxia Cave until the matter is investigated. This suggestion was overheard by Chu Linglong. When Chu Linglong rushed to tell Chu Xuanji, Chu Xuanji was taking out the fragments she brought from the secret realm.

The fragments' power infected Chu Xuanji again, and she saw the scene of the great battle in the heavenly realm a thousand years ago. Chu Linglong was worried that Chu Xuanji would be locked in Mingxia Cave forever and never get out. She asked Chu Xuanji to cry in front of her father (Chu Lei) to prove she wasn't a heartless and emotionless person. Although Chu Linglong imagined countless heartbreaking scenarios, Chu Xuanji found it truly difficult to shed tears.

Chu Linglong came up with the idea of using chili powder to stimulate her eyes to help Chu Xuanji cry. Although the chili powder made Chu Xuanji's eyes uncomfortable, she still didn't cry. Not only that, but she was also discovered by the sect leader. Chu Xuanji was still taken to Mingxia Cave. Mingxia Cave was filled with the sound of ghosts howling and wolves crying, extremely eerie. Yu Sifeng was taken back to receive the Thirteen Precepts torture.

Even though his friend Ruo Yu couldn't bear to lay a hand on him, the Deputy Master had long been jealous of Yu Sifeng and seized the opportunity to suppress him. He even wanted to take Yu Sifeng back to Lize Palace to receive a heavier punishment. However, Yu Sifeng had already signed up for the Hairpin Tournament. Leaving rashly would make Lize Palace disrespectful to the other four sects.

Elder Luo of Lize Palace could only speak up to keep Yu Sifeng and wait until the Master arrives in Shaoyang to make a final decision. Yu Sifeng missing his mask would certainly incur a severe penalty. If he could win first place in the Hairpin Tournament and bring glory to Lize Palace, he might receive a lighter punishment. While being punished in Mingxia Cave, Chu Xuanji fainted on the ground due to the cold and drowsiness.

Although the sect leader felt some guilt towards his wife Danping, the persuasion from Chu Linglong, Xiao Liuzi, and other disciples was ineffective. However, the secret realm stone had another anomaly. When the sect leader (Chu Lei), Yinghong, and his junior brother Ouyang rushed there together, they saw Hao Chen stabilizing the barrier. Hao Chen is Hengyang's disciple. After ten years of seclusion, his cultivation broke through to the tenth layer of Shaoyang's Yangjue skill.

He also made achievements in the Dao of Ruthlessness technique of Xuyang Peak. Hao Chen went to the secret realm to assist his master in stabilizing it, to prevent disaster for Shaoyang. However, the sect leader (Chu Lei) still didn't believe his daughter with mediocre aptitude could open the barrier, so he asked Hao Chen to investigate the matter.

Yu Sifeng wanted to retrieve his mask and would definitely need to enter the barrier again, but the barrier had no loopholes. Perhaps only by finding Chu Xuanji first would there be a chance. But Xiaoyang Peak, where Mingxia Cave is located, is very difficult to enter. Chu Linglong couldn't enter even though she wanted to. Yu Sifeng unexpectedly learned that Chu Xuanji could only come out by shedding tears.

And Chu Xuanji, suffering from the torment in the cave, was still worried about whether Yu Sifeng would be punished. Demon Maleficent two stars were approaching again. The demon realm's actions were speeding up. The Earth Wolf was already interrogating the merman who knew the whereabouts of Juntian Cehai. Xiao Liuzi brought food for Chu Xuanji. Although Chu Xuanji couldn't feel pain, she didn't want to stay in Mingxia Cave forever. Zhong Minyan encouraged Chu Xuanji not to give up.

Chu Xuanji obediently ate the food Chu Linglong made, and for the first time, she felt a sense of taste, becoming excited. But Chu Xuanji still couldn't cry. Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi were troubled by how to make Chu Xuanji cry when they unexpectedly discovered a Manual of Ten Thousand Demons left by Yu Sifeng. The manual described how to refine a peculiar incense that could make people cry.

However, the ingredients needed to refine the incense grow on the monsters in the Hairpin Tournament. The Shaoyang sect leader (Chu Lei) was assigning tasks for the Hairpin Tournament. The Gu Diao monster they would ultimately face in this Hairpin Tournament was what was needed for refining the incense. Chu Linglong was happy to find a way and asked Xiao Liuzi to use the Earth Escaping technique to go to Shouyang Hall.

However, he accidentally exposed himself and was summoned by the elders and sect leaders of various sects. According to the rules, everyone present could draw lots to participate in the Hairpin Tournament. Elder Lingshi even incited them. Xiao Liuzi and Chu Linglong both wanted to deal with the Gu Diao monster, so they actively participated. They wrote down their names and put them into the drawing box. The first person drawn was Dongfang Qingqi, Master of Fuyu Island.

The second was Chu Yinghong, Elder of Xiaoyang Peak of the Shaoyang Sect. The third was Yu Sifeng, disciple of Jingui Palace, the main hall of Lize Palace. The fourth was Xiao Liuzi. The fifth was Chu Lei, sect leader of the Shaoyang Sect. The sixth was Hao Chen. The last person, surprisingly, was Chu Xuanji. It turned out that Xiao Liuzi had replaced Chu Linglong's name with Chu Xuanji's, solely to allow Chu Xuanji to leave Mingxia Cave.

Under Hao Chen's persuasion, Sect Leader Chu Lei could only agree to temporarily release Chu Xuanji. The meaning of the rules of Lize Palace is not only to prevent outsiders from contact but also to warn disciples not to lose their original intentions. Yu Sifeng found Chu Xuanji and demanded they go back to the secret realm.

Chu Xuanji was unwilling to break the Shaoyang Palace rules and disagreed to go back to the secret realm, but Yu Sifeng forcibly took her. Yu Sifeng used helping Chu Xuanji obtain the Gu Diao incense as a condition to make her agree to enter the secret realm again. Chu Xuanji made an agreement with Yu Sifeng. Her various small actions made Yu Sifeng extremely flustered. The Hairpin Tournament began.

Chu Xuanji asked her sixth senior brother (Zhong Minyan) to carry her by sword flight, but he refused decisively. Yu Sifeng also refused Chu Xuanji's request due to the difference between men and women. Fortunately, Hao Chen spoke up and was willing to take Chu Xuanji by sword flight. Meanwhile, Xiao Liuzi also secretly took Chu Linglong down the mountain to rush to the Hairpin Tournament.

Episode 3 Recap

Lutai Town suffered many casualties due to monster trouble. This Hairpin Tournament is going down the mountain to solve this monster problem. According to the officials of Lutai Town, at that time, a group of outsiders passed by Lutai Mountain and were harmed by the monster, leaving only one corpse. Local constables and bold hunters went up the mountain together to search but found nothing. Because the monster problem could not be solved, the local people were very panicked.

Chu Lei and Dongfang Qingqi determined this was done by a Gu Diao. Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng raised objections, inferring from the tooth marks that it might not be a Gu Diao. With Hao Chen's corroboration, Chu Lei and Dongfang Qingqi changed their tune and asked the villagers who had seen the monster. Only then could they discuss how to deal with the monster. Yinghong assigned Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng to go together to procure the necessary supplies.

Hao Chen intentionally kept Chu Xuanji and gave her a Dunglei Taojiang, which could take her anywhere she wanted to go. Yu Sifeng had found a way to deal with the Gu Diao; saltwater could harm the Gu Diao's eyes. Yu Sifeng did not have the patience to explain much to Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji had to try the usage of Dunglei Taojiang by herself. After several attempts, she could actually teleport instantly.

Chu Xuanji's playful spirit arose, and she accidentally fell into a bathing tub. The bad thing was that the person bathing was Yu Sifeng. The scene was already very awkward, and Chu Xuanji was still fumbling for her Dunglei Taojiang in the tub. Yu Sifeng, embarrassed, used magic to send Chu Xuanji outside the door. The demon realm intensified the interrogation of the merman.

It turned out that this merman, Ting Nu, was a medical official banished from the heavenly realm to the mortal realm. Having once been a heavenly realm person, Ting Nu was somewhat proud and refused to give in. The demon realm threatened the merman's clan. It turned out that the Sifang Dinghai Iron Chains were condensed from the earth energy of the Sifang mountain range in the mortal realm, drawn by the heavenly realm, and could not be broken.

They could only be broken by the spirit key guarded by the five immortal cultivation sects in the mortal realm. Zhong Minyan discussed with Chu Linglong that they now had to deal with a monster again. The difficulty of obtaining the Gu Diao incense increased, and the two were very anxious. Chu Xuanji remembered Hao Chen saying that Gu Diao liked human tongues, so she suggested using tongue tip blood to lure out the Gu Diao.

This method was heard by Yu Sifeng; while the method could lure out the Gu Diao, it would also greatly increase its monstrous power. At that time, it would be even harder to deal with, and they might even lose their lives, but with the abilities of the four of them, it was impossible to kill the Gu Diao.

The group went up the mountain to catch the monster; Chu Xuanji pretended to twist her ankle and excused herself from Chu Lei and the others. The remaining four people, Zhong Minyan, Chu Linglong, and Yu Sifeng, carried out the plan to deal with the Gu Diao. While the group went up the mountain, Ting Nu seized the opportunity to escape. Yu Sifeng set up a formation to lure out the Gu Diao.

Because Chu Xuanji was injured and bleeding, the Gu Diao's monstrous power became even greater. Yu Sifeng sent the three away and fought alone. Chu Lei and the others went up the mountain and encountered a Sky Dog. Yu Sifeng got away and entered the cave with the other three. They met the escaped Ting Nu. It's just that the Gu Diao was relentless in its pursuit and even harder to deal with.

Even though Yu Sifeng tried his best, it was difficult to resist for a while. Ting Nu saw that they were in trouble and made a move to freeze the Gu Diao, allowing them a chance to strike. But the Gu Diao reacted promptly, broke through the ice, and suppressed them instead. Seeing her friends in danger, Chu Xuanji was stimulated and controlled by the fragments, and suddenly her magical power greatly increased, directly dealing with the Gu Diao.

In her consciousness, Chu Xuanji kept asking herself who she was, but there was always no answer. When she woke up, she was lying properly on the bed. Only Zhong Minyan saw the scene that happened in the cave. When no one was around, he asked Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji killed the Gu Diao with a few casual swings. But Chu Xuanji could not explain it and could not believe it herself.

Thanks to Zhong Minyan's guidance, and he also reminded Chu Xuanji not to mention it to others, or it would arouse more suspicion. He even covered for Chu Xuanji in front of Yinghong and Hao Chen. Regardless, the Hairpin Tournament was finally completed successfully. Hao Chen and Yinghong returned to the cave to investigate and found that the person who killed the Gu Diao did it with a single blow.

Even the most powerful cultivators could not do it, only those from the heavenly clan and the demon realm. Such a strange event made Yinghong uneasy. It's just that the merman monster mentioned by Chu Xuanji was also nowhere to be seen. Yu Sifeng was clearly worried about Chu Xuanji's injuries and specifically prepared trauma medicine for her, but he didn't show it verbally.

Fortunately, Chu Xuanji was concerned about Yu Sifeng and helped him apply ointment to heal his injuries. Yu Sifeng was momentarily flustered and made an excuse to go look for the Gu Diao incense. Chu Xuanji determined that Yu Sifeng cared about her and promised that she would help him find his mask. Ting Nu's disappearance made the Hall Master of the demon realm nervous.

If the various immortal cultivation sects learned of the demon realm's actions from Ting Nu, it would be disadvantageous. But Dilang also gained something. Among the cultivators on Lutai Mountain, Chu Linglong, who was not participating in the Hairpin Tournament, happened to be born at the hour of Hai on the fourth day of the fourth month sixteen years ago. He mistakenly thought that Chu Linglong was the reincarnation of the God of War and the Star of Mosha.

After the Gu Diao was eliminated, nothing was left behind. Chu Linglong was sad because she couldn't obtain the Crying Incense, and because Chu Xuanji was going to be locked back into Mingxia Cave again. But Chu Xuanji didn't want Chu Linglong to be sad, so she could only offer words of comfort. But Chu Linglong became increasingly angry and left crying.

Chu Xuanji thought that once she was locked into Mingxia Cave, she would no longer be able to eat delicious food. Yu Sifeng couldn't bear it for a moment and took Chu Xuanji to search for delicious food everywhere. Chu Xuanji felt uncomfortable because she couldn't smell scents, hear music, or feel the wind. Yu Sifeng felt a little heartache for such a Chu Xuanji. He told Chu Xuanji that sometimes senses are interconnected.

He introduced the food to Chu Xuanji item by item, allowing Chu Xuanji to experience sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy through taste and relate them to emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Yu Sifeng couldn't help but smile himself, watching Chu Xuanji's excited appearance. Chu Xuanji liked Yu Sifeng's sweet smile. The two joked and played; at that moment, Yu Sifeng's heart was moved.

The villagers of Lutai Town caught Ting Nu and mistook him for the monster causing trouble. Yu Sifeng knew that Ting Nu was a merman and a good demon, and decided to rescue him. Chu Xuanji, Chu Linglong, and Zhong Minyan all strongly supported helping Yu Sifeng.

Episode 4 Recap

The demon realm intervened to snatch Ting Nu from Yu Sifeng and the others. Dilang tried to intercept Linglong, who was hiding in the dark. Attacked from all sides, Yu Sifeng and Xiao Liuzi were unable to break free to save Linglong. Dilang was intent on verifying whether Linglong was the reincarnation of the God of War or the Star of Mosha, holding her tightly and refusing to let go.

The bound Xuanji, worried about Linglong's safety, was about to unleash the potential within her when Hao Chen arrived in time to save Linglong and drive away Dilang. Yu Sifeng had no trouble fighting off the other demon realm soldiers, but Xiao Liuzi was no match for them. Fortunately, not only did Hao Chen arrive, but Yinghong also took action simultaneously to drive away the demons. Yu Sifeng was meticulous and had already used illusion to make Ting Nu invisible.

Hao Chen was displeased that Sifeng had brought Shaoyang disciples to rescue the merman, believing that demons should not be sympathized with. Hao Chen and Yinghong followed the trail to look for demons, leaving the four people behind to take the opportunity to help Ting Nu heal. Ting Nu's eyes stared at Xuanji, and he murmured that in this life, they finally met. Ting Nu was weak but roughly said that the demon realm was searching for the spirit key.

As a merman, Ting Nu could heal when in water. Ting Nu entered the water and fully recovered, and left behind merman tears that turned into pearls. And this pearl, held under the tongue, could make one weep profusely. Xuanji tried it, and it was indeed true. Xuanji and Linglong, the sisters, laughed and cried. Fortunately, they didn't have to be locked back into Mingxia Cave anymore.

Ting Nu seemed to have known Xuanji for a long time and intentionally guided Xuanji to regain her complete six senses, telling Xuanji that she must find the fragments of the Wan Jie Ba Huang Mirror. The Wan Jie Ba Huang Mirror was a celestial artifact of the Queen Mother of the West in the heavenly realm and could see through the origins of everything.

If Xuanji found all the fragments, she would not only regain her six senses but also know who she truly was. After saying this, Ting Nu left with ease. Everyone was very happy that Xuanji's matter was successfully resolved. The two sisters discussed going to Lize Palace to find Yu Sifeng in the future, but Lize Palace never allowed women to enter, and once they entered the palace, they could never marry for life.

The other three were unaware of the rules of Lize Palace and started joking about it. Yu Sifeng had never felt friendship within Lize Palace, so he had always appeared distant. However, when Yu Sifeng smiled, it was very sweet, and he valued loyalty and was a warm-hearted person. Although he didn't say it, he already considered the other three as friends in his heart.

Everyone drank wine and discussed helping Xuanji collect the fragments to become a Chu Xuanji with true feelings. Linglong also remarked that Xuanji and Sifeng had a deep connection and that even she, as her sister, didn't have the fate of being born at the same time as Xuanji.

Only then did Sifeng learn that although Xuanji and Linglong were twins, Linglong was born at the hour of Hai on the fourth day of the fourth month, while Xuanji was born at the hour of Chou on the fifth day of the fourth month. Xuanji had always been an optimistic and kind child. Although she couldn't shed tears, she was a child who valued feelings.

Xuanji had always used the notebook her mother gave her when she was little to record the people who were most important to her. Xuanji's notebook only contained her parents and Linglong, no one else. Linglong taught Xuanji that she could write down the person she liked. As for the person she liked, it was someone she always wanted to see and could share secrets with. After thinking back, Xuanji decided to write down Xiao Liuzi's name.

Xiao Liuzi liked Linglong but was also very good to Xuanji. Xuanji didn't understand romantic love, she just simply liked Xiao Liuzi. When she received a gift from Xiao Liuzi, she showed it to Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng's little jar of jealousy was slowly brewing. When he mentioned his mask, he also didn't want Xuanji to risk getting it again, so he decided to drop the matter.

Everyone returned safely to Shaoyang, and Xuanji also successfully shed tears in front of her father, gaining his favor. However, Hao Chen saw and knew everything about Xuanji's performance. Hao Chen proactively offered to teach Xuanji cultivation properly, and Xuanji, also wanting to change herself, agreed. Xuanji never forgot to help Yu Sifeng find his mask.

Although the Dunglei Taojiang could only be used by one person, Xuanji hugged Sifeng and successfully entered the secret realm by casting spells, avoiding the Candel Dragon and retrieving half of the mask. However, once the Lize Palace mask was damaged, it could not be repaired. Yu Sifeng admitted his mistake calmly when facing his master's blame. The Master of Lize Palace was temporarily unable to forgive Yu Sifeng.

Xuanji, unable to bear seeing her good friend wronged, stepped forward to defend him. Yu Sifeng even directly expressed the rare depth of friendship. The Master of Lize Palace was quite shaken upon hearing the words "deep friendship". If not for the important matters to discuss, it was unknown how Yu Sifeng would have been punished.

Chu Lei and Dongfang Qingqi displayed the demon-controlling collars obtained from the captured Sky Dog and Gu Diao demon in front of the sect leaders of the five major sects. According to an anonymous letter received, they also learned that it was the Tianxu Hall that organized these demon tribes. The various sects did not pay much attention to this matter.

Only Chu Lei proactively brought up the matter of the spirit key, but the spirit key was a great treasure of the major sects, and the other sects had their own intentions, so the discussion on how to deal with the demon tribe ended unhappily. Xuanji was still worried whether Yu Sifeng would be punished. She lingered around Yu Sifeng, comforting him. When others passed by, Yu Sifeng protected Xuanji. Xuanji then handed him sweet dried fruit.

Yu Sifeng's mouth was sweet, and his heart was even sweeter. The Master of Lize Palace finished the meeting and continued to reprimand Yu Sifeng. Disciples of Lize Palace who could not maintain their original intention would receive cruel punishment. Even so, Yu Sifeng absolutely did not back down. The Master, eager to protect his disciple, could only instruct Yu Sifeng that perhaps winning the Hairpin Tournament might lessen his punishment.

Linglong, Xuanji, and Xiao Liuzi were chatting casually about the Hairpin Tournament. Wu Tong came to provoke them again, causing everyone to be unhappy. The Hairpin Tournament began. The various sects appeared one after another: Dianjing Vally, Xuanyuan Sect, Lize Palace. As soon as Yu Sifeng appeared, Xuanji excitedly shouted her support. Next was Fuyu Island, and finally, the host, Shaoyang Sect. Chu Lei announced the rules of the Hairpin Tournament, and the competition began.

Xuanji still didn't give up cheering for Yu Sifeng. The opponent facing Yu Sifeng, Tiran, seemed not simple. Tiran's Benlei sword moves were like fire, pure and skilled. Yu Sifeng cautiously met the challenge, using a decisive move to easily win the match. Xuanji and Linglong were excited again. Next, Wu Tong from Dianjing Vally easily won against his opponent, Lin Feng from Xuanyuan Sect, but Wu Tong's attack was excessively arrogant.

Episode 5 Recap

Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi jointly faced Su Bo and Mo Shaoyan from Dianjing Vally. A two-on-two duel emphasized coordination andtacit understanding. Chu Linglong's skill was no match for her opponents, and she was thrown off the stage. Wu Tong mocked and taunted from the side. Xiao Liuzi, stimulated by the moment, unleashed his potential and defeated his opponents, winning back face for the Shaoyang Sect.

The Xuanyuan Sect was once the head of the five major sects, but now it has fallen to the bottom, feeling resentful. The Demon Realm Hall Master, also the Master of Tianxu Hall, to provoke the relationship between the five major sects, signaled Dilang to give the Kunyin Pill to the Xuanyuan Sect disciples to take, allowing their skills to greatly increase. This way, they could win over the Xuanyuan Sect and obtain information about the spirit key.

Elder Lingshi of the Xuanyuan Sect was angry about his disciples' low skill level and the shame they brought before others. The Xuanyuan Sect had already secretly refined forbidden drugs to increase skill in order to win the competition, but this caused several disciples to die suddenly one after another, and even the sect leader almost suffered from qi deviation. The sect suffered a terrible change.

Dilang put the Kunyin Pill into Elder Lingshi's tea, and his skill indeed greatly increased. Lingshi naturally chose to cooperate with Dilang. Chu Xuanji privately practiced sword moves diligently, but practicing alone, she could never grasp the meaning. Just then, Yu Sifeng appeared and used the method of feeling food to help Chu Xuanji understand the meaning of the sword moves. Chu Xuanji's starting stances indeed improved greatly, and she accidentally tore Yu Sifeng's personal pouch.

Hidden in the pouch was a silver hairpin left by Yu Sifeng's mother. According to Yu Sifeng, he grew up in Lize Palace since childhood and had never met his parents, only having his mother's portrait and this silver hairpin as keepsakes. Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji had similar childhoods, which made them even closer. Sifeng promised to help Chu Xuanji find all the fragments to restore her six senses.

The two also agreed to descend the mountain together for training after four years. The Hairpin Tournament continued on the second day. Shi Feng of the Xuanyuan Sect won several matches in a row. However, Shi Feng seemed unable to control the true qi within his body.

Shi Feng worried that he would also die from true qi explosion like the other disciples, but Lingshi confidently asserted that the pill he personally refined was very safe and persuaded Shi Feng away. Dilang appeared before Lingshi from time to time to propose exchange conditions. The Hairpin Tournament continued. Wu Tong faced Xiao Liuzi. During the match, Wu Tong used a curse to secretly injure his opponent. The curse went straight towards Chu Xuanji outside the arena.

Yu Sifeng and Hao Chen were worried about Chu Xuanji and both wanted to help, but Yu Sifeng acted faster and protected Chu Xuanji. However, the Master of Dianjing Vally spoke up to protect Wu Tong, saying that even though the malicious technique Wu Tong used almost injured someone, it ultimately did not violate the rules of the Hairpin Tournament. Chu Lei had no choice but to announce Wu Tong as the winner.

Xiao Liuzi losing the match made Chu Linglong and Chu Xuanji unhappy. They clamored to settle the score with Wu Tong. Yu Sifeng agreed that Wu Tong should suffer a little and came up with a perfect plan to teach Wu Tong a lesson. Yu Sifeng knew that Wu Tong came from a humble background and always wanted to make a name for himself.

After the competition, he had consumed too much skill and urgently needed money to buy pills to replenish his internal power. So, Yu Sifeng used the excuse of searching for a lost spirit snake and used ten luminous pearls as bait to lure Wu Tong into the forest. As expected, Wu Tong fell into the trap set by Yu Sifeng and was hung from a tree.

Wu Tong still refused to beg for mercy and even used hidden weapons to try to harm Chu Linglong. Fortunately, Yu Sifeng took Chu Linglong and dodged, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable. The four people successfully punished Wu Tong and were having a happy time. Shi Feng of the Xuanyuan Sect still had insufficient internal power and had no chance of winning in the next match.

Lingshi had no choice but to cooperate with Dilang, revealing exactly which major sects were guarding the four spirit keys in exchange for the Kunyin Pill. The spirit keys were not easy to obtain as they were guarded by the sect-guarding divine artifacts of the major sects. Half of the Hairpin Tournament was over. Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi were still bickering noisily, leaving Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji somewhat unhappy.

Yu Sifeng's unhappiness was because after the Hairpin Tournament, he would not be able to see Chu Xuanji every day. However, Yu Sifeng promised that no matter how difficult it was in the future, he would still meet with Chu Xuanji. Yu Sifeng was Chu Xuanji's best friend outside of the Shaoyang Sect, so naturally, she would not easily forget him.

Yu Sifeng originally wanted to give Chu Xuanji a treasure that would allow them to contact each other no matter how far apart they were, but he discovered that the silver hairpin left by his mother was missing. It turned out that Sifeng had accidentally lost it when saving Chu Linglong that day without realizing it. The next day, Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji went to search for it and encountered Wu Tong's sneak attack again.

However, Wu Tong was not willing to reconcile with Yu Sifeng easily. He took out the silver hairpin and demanded that Yu Sifeng kneel down and beg for mercy. Chu Xuanji could not stand seeing Wu Tong bully Yu Sifeng and spoke up several times to defend him. Chu Xuanji's actions deeply moved Yu Sifeng. The silver hairpin was very important to Yu Sifeng, so Wu Tong naturally would not hand it over easily.

Wu Tong took the opportunity to grab Chu Xuanji as a threat to force Yu Sifeng to kneel. Yu Sifeng pretended to agree to use the opportunity to rescue Chu Xuanji, but he was still unable to retrieve the hairpin. At night, Chu Xuanji and Chu Linglong planned together to steal the silver hairpin. However, Wu Tong entered the men's bathhouse. Chu Linglong was temporarily shy, so only Chu Xuanji went in.

Chu Xuanji searched Wu Tong's clothes everywhere, found the silver hairpin, and fled outside. When Wu Tong chased out, he happened to see Chu Linglong and mistakenly thought it was Chu Linglong who entered the bathhouse to steal the hairpin. The two tangled for a while. Chu Linglong saw Wu Tong, who was half-dressed, and shyly left. Yu Sifeng looked at his mother's portrait and muttered to himself.

The silver hairpin could be retrieved later, but being able to always remember his mother's appearance was more important. Chu Xuanji excitedly held the silver hairpin and handed it to Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng was touched and accepted the hairpin. Chu Xuanji had ignored the wound on her foot while getting the hairpin. It was Yu Sifeng who carefully and thoughtfully applied medicine. When he learned how Chu Xuanji retrieved the hairpin, Yu Sifeng became flustered and stammered again.

He said that seeing a boy bathe was a very bad thing for a girl, but Chu Xuanji thought that she had also seen Yu Sifeng bathe and it didn't have much of an effect on her. Yu Sifeng was momentarily shy and could only patiently explain that men and women should not intimately interact, telling Chu Xuanji not to easily let other boys get close to her in the future.

But wasn't Yu Sifeng, who was applying medicine for her, a boy himself? Chu Xuanji's curious question made Yu Sifeng even shyer. Just then, the rest of the people from Lize Palace returned to their rooms. Yu Sifeng, acting resourcefully in a moment of urgency, pulled Chu Xuanji to the same bed for cover and extinguished the light. The others spoke sarcastically about Yu Sifeng, but he paid no mind. However, Ruo Yu seemed to have noticed something.

Episode 6 Recap

Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng slept in the same bed. Chu Xuanji kept moving slightly, tightly holding Yu Sifeng in her dream. But the awake Yu Sifeng couldn't ignore the girl he liked treating him like this. Yu Sifeng carried Chu Xuanji back to her room. With eyes full of affection, he thoughtfully tucked little Chu Xuanji into bed. Dilang guessed that the Shaoyang spirit key was hidden within the secret realm and went to break in alone.

However, the barrier's defense was solid, and there was also a Candel Dragon guarding below the barrier, making it not so easy to break through. In addition, Chu Lei and Hao Chen quickly sensed someone trespassing into the secret realm and arrived in time. They would also continue to reinforce it later, so Dilang could not succeed for the time being. Shi Feng still had powerful skill using the Kunyin Pill and easily defeated the disciples of Fuyu Island.

It was Yu Sifeng's turn to fight Wu Tong. Wu Tong was determined to win first place, otherwise he couldn't stay in Dianjing Vally. So he used ruthless moves against Yu Sifeng everywhere. But Yu Sifeng's skill was powerful, and he knocked him to the ground. Wu Tong was unconvinced and prepared to use a curse again to sneak attack. Chu Lei intervened to stop him. Wu Tong fouled again.

Dongfang Qingqi spoke out and declared Wu Tong had lost the match. Perhaps the Master of Dianjing Vally also felt ashamed and voluntarily conceded defeat. However, because Wu Tong was afraid of being kicked out of Dianjing Vally and was repeatedly provoked by Linglong, he used a ruthless move to force his way towards Linglong. Chu Xuanji blocked in front of Linglong and took a sword strike from Wu Tong. Both fell into the water.

In the water, Chu Xuanji revealed her true form, shouting at Wu Tong and making him retreat. Yu Sifeng also entered the water in time and rescued Chu Xuanji. Fortunately, Chu Xuanji's injury was not too serious, and Ying Hong had already treated her. The most hateful thing was that Wu Tong escaped. The five major sects discussed and decided to eliminate Wu Tong, this scourge.

Led by Dianjing Vally, they would unite with other sects to search for and capture Wu Tong and bring him back to Shaoyang for questioning. Yu Sifeng actually gave up the Hairpin Tournament match to take care of Chu Xuanji. But while in a coma, Chu Xuanji kept dreaming of the heavenly realm battlefield scenes and was in great pain. Yu Sifeng played music nearby to soothe Chu Xuanji's emotions.

Yu Sifeng thought how disappointed he would be if he had to leave without saying a proper farewell to Chu Xuanji. But being able to see Chu Xuanji wake up, even if he faced a mountain of swords and a sea of fire back in Lize Palace, he could endure it. Hao Chen and Ying Hong came to take care of Chu Xuanji, so Yu Sifeng had no choice but to reluctantly leave.

Lize Palace voluntarily withdrew from the competition, allowing the Xuanyuan Sect to benefit. The Deputy Palace Master originally planned to leave early. Yu Sifeng held onto the hope of waiting for Chu Xuanji to wake up to say a proper farewell, but in the end, he didn't have this opportunity. Yu Sifeng entrusted the long-distance voice transmission bell to Linglong to pass on to Chu Xuanji for him.

Yu Sifeng believed that the joint encirclement and suppression of Wu Tong by the five major sects was inappropriate and would instead cause him to turn evil, but the matter had already happened, and there was nothing else to do. As soon as Yu Sifeng was brought back to Lize Palace, he had to accept the punishment of the Thirteen Precepts Purgatory.

The Master of Lize Palace was pained and wholeheartedly protected Yu Sifeng, trying to use Yu Sifeng's past merit of guarding him during his seclusion cultivation to offset this mistake. But the other elders and the Deputy Palace Master were not planning to let him off. Coupled with Yu Sifeng admitting his deep feelings for Chu Xuanji, the Palace Master couldn't find a better reason to protect him.

The Deputy Palace Master kept instigating from the side, and the elders also kept pressuring the Palace Master. The Palace Master could only delay things for a while and temporarily imprisoned Yu Sifeng. There was also a Big Brother Liu Yihuan in the cell, who was also puzzled why Yu Sifeng was locked up. Yu Sifeng explained the reason, and Liu Yihuan became even more curious, actually passing through the prison walls to gossip with Yu Sifeng.

It turned out that Liu Yihuan had been in prison for over ten years and had long since become intimately familiar with the place, even digging a secret passage to escape. Liu Yihuan had a daughter outside named Yuer, and it was precisely for Yuer that he had been trapped in Lize Palace for over ten years. In prison, Liu Yihuan was skilled at using alcohol to get others to reveal their true feelings.

But Liu Yihuan had also said that human relationships were complex and troublesome. The Yu Sifeng of that time didn't believe it, but now he understood. Because Yu Sifeng had confessed his true feelings to everyone, he would definitely not escape the punishment of the Thirteen Precepts Purgatory. And Yu Sifeng had already made up his mind not to be a traitor of Lize Palace but to brave the Thirteen Precepts alone to seek a glimmer of hope.

Chu Xuanji finally woke up but mistakenly thought it was Xiao Liuzi who had saved her. Xiao Liuzi was about to explain, but the others, eager to care for Chu Xuanji, interrupted him. Fortunately, Chu Xuanji hadn't forgotten Yu Sifeng and was still thinking of visiting him later. Everyone came to care for Chu Xuanji and gave her toys. Chu Lei was always worried about Chu Xuanji's safety. From childhood until now, Chu Xuanji had always been in constant trouble.

Chu Lei worried that he, like his wife, wouldn't be able to always protect Chu Xuanji from harm. Hao Chen comforted Chu Lei and informed him that Hengyang was preparing to take Chu Xuanji as his last disciple. Chu Xuanji, being pure and true, was most suitable for cultivating the emotionless techniques of the great Dao. Only then did Chu Lei feel relieved. The five major sects' capture of Wu Tong consistently had no follow-up.

Chu Xuanji's injury had also almost healed. She was just still mentioning Yu Sifeng. Hao Chen told Chu Xuanji that Hengyang would personally teach her. Chu Xuanji couldn't understand for a moment why he would take a disciple like her. Hao Chen's words of comfort to Chu Xuanji were similar to Yu Sifeng's, and only then did Chu Xuanji confidently confirm her acceptance of the apprenticeship request. Yu Sifeng worried about Chu Xuanji and called her using the bell, but Chu Xuanji wasn't there, so Linglong answered.

Episode 7 Recap

Yu Sifeng waited for Chu Xuanji's reply, filled with joy. Liu Yihuan also naturally discovered the person Yu Sifeng cared about. Yu Sifeng was full of confidence that he could pass the Thirteen Precepts, because he had made many promises with Chu Xuanji, including helping her find the Wan Jie Ba Huang Jing. Liu Yihuan also knew about this divine artifact.

This was a divine artifact from the heavenly realm that was broken by the heavenly realm and scattered in the mortal realm many years ago. Not only did Liu Yihuan know about the Wan Jie Ba Huang Jing, he had also seen it above the Kushui River. However, the water of the Kushui River was unusual; touching it would cut flesh and corrode bone. Yu Sifeng was willing to endure any hardship for Chu Xuanji.

Chu Xuanji explained to Chu Linglong that she would be going to study under Master Hengyang. However, Chu Linglong felt extremely reluctant thinking that she wouldn't see Chu Xuanji anymore. But she couldn't dissuade Chu Xuanji, who was determined to gain skills to protect everyone. Chu Xuanji also thought about telling Yu Sifeng about this matter. Chu Linglong then remembered that Yu Sifeng had left the Qian Li Chuan Yin bell to communicate with Chu Xuanji.

When Chu Xuanji called Yu Sifeng, Yu Sifeng was just by the Kushui River looking for fragments for Chu Xuanji and couldn't receive her call. By the time Yu Sifeng found the fragments and looked for Chu Xuanji, Chu Xuanji was already asleep and didn't respond. When Liu Yihuan saw that Yu Sifeng didn't receive a response from the person he cared about, he spoke nonsense, disturbing Yu Sifeng's mood.

Yu Sifeng, feeling down, asked Liu Yihuan what he felt when he was living freely in the mortal world, facing Yuer and Yuer's mother. Liu Yihuan only recounted the past when his feelings were touched. Yuer's mother was the top courtesan in the city, extremely popular for a time, but she only loved Liu Yihuan. She gave birth to Yuer without telling Liu Yihuan, and then went through many hardships to find Lize Palace.

Liu Yihuan had also thought about leaving Lize Palace to live a simple life with his wife and daughter, but Lize Palace would never allow it. Although he went through some trouble to save Yuer's life, Liu Yihuan also had to accept punishment in Lize Palace. Liu Yihuan unexpectedly learned that Yuer's life was in danger and urgently wanted to get out of prison to save her.

Yu Sifeng blocked everyone for him but was then taken to the hall for punishment again. Yu Sifeng simply said rebellious words in front of everyone, saying that the rules of Lize Palace were cold and heartless. The Deputy Palace Master and the elders repeatedly demanded that Yu Sifeng be sent to the Thirteen Precepts. Even though the Palace Master was angry, he hadn't made up his mind to send Yu Sifeng.

The Deputy Palace Master took out the Hei Yu Ling passed down by the previous Palace Master as a threat. Yu Sifeng didn't want to make the Palace Master difficult and voluntarily requested to go. On the other side, Chu Xuanji was also reluctantly saying goodbye to her father and sister as she was leaving to learn skills. It turned out that Hao Chen had repeatedly recommended Chu Xuanji to Hengyang.

After considering it, Hengyang also felt that Chu Xuanji was a pure and kind child, so he agreed. After Chu Xuanji became his disciple, Hengyang was going into secluded cultivation to comprehend the highest principles of Da Dao Wu Qing Jue. He could only entrust all matters and disciples of Xuyang Peak to Hao Chen, and Chu Xuanji was also entrusted to Hao Chen for guidance.

Chu Xuanji learned that the highest level of cultivation for Da Dao Wu Qing Jue required reaching a state of selflessness and emotionlessness, so she thought this technique was unrelated to her. However, Chu Xuanji's thought was immediately seen through by Hao Chen. Hao Chen believed that since Chu Xuanji's six senses were not awakened, she was naturally suited for cultivating Xuyang Peak's Wangqing Jue. The duty of Xuyang Peak disciples was to guard the secret realm.

Chu Xuanji being able to accidentally enter the secret realm and leave safely was also her destiny with the secret realm. Hao Chen instructed Chu Xuanji not to ask too much about the secret realm, just to cultivate peacefully and become immortal. Chu Xuanji asked questions continuously, and Hao Chen patiently explained. However, Hao Chen collected all the toys Chu Xuanji brought, not allowing her to play with them to avoid distracting her mind. This also included the bell.

Chu Xuanji thought about talking to Yu Sifeng one last time, but Hao Chen stopped her, so Chu Xuanji could only give up. Hao Chen gifted the Qian Li San to Chu Xuanji as an everyday magical artifact and repeatedly urged Chu Xuanji to cultivate diligently. For a moment, Chu Xuanji forgot about Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng entered the Thirteen Precepts Purgatory Tower with his promise to Chu Xuanji.

The Purgatory Tower was filled with fierce strange beasts and demon spirits, soul-devouring and heart-corroding demonic formations. Those undergoing the precepts must break through from the lowest level to the highest level to find a way out. Yu Sifeng, with strong conviction, was determined that he could successfully find a way out. Hao Chen began training Chu Xuanji, starting with sword riding. Training Chu Xuanji using food always managed to ignite her fighting spirit.

Chu Xuanji practiced for a whole day but couldn't catch the food and went hungry for a day. There was no flint in the room, so she couldn't light the lamp. Hao Chen also required Chu Xuanji to master the method of lighting a lamp herself. Chu Xuanji's cultivation path was also full of difficulties. Yu Sifeng was full of injuries after just passing the first level of the Thirteen Precepts, but thinking of Chu Xuanji, he persevered.

Picking up the bell and being unable to contact Chu Xuanji, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Chu Xuanji also made some progress; she could ride her sword to get food. Chu Xuanji asked Senior Sister Duanqing for nectar but didn't get it, yet she also understood the principle of sharing things you like with someone you like. Duanqing liked Hao Chen but couldn't have him.

Hao Chen informed Chu Xuanji that she would participate in the examination the next day along with the outer disciples. Chu Xuanji was personally taught by Hao Chen and couldn't lose face. But little Chu Xuanji cleverly wrote the spell on her clothes, attempting to pass the test. Hao Chen could discover anything, so Chu Xuanji's little actions naturally couldn't escape his eyes.

Hao Chen only required Chu Xuanji to learn how to use it, regardless of the form or method Chu Xuanji used to remember it. Although Hao Chen was very good to Chu Xuanji, he could never forget that his duty was to guard the secret realm. Even though he had a close friend in the past, that friend had betrayed him.

Hao Chen looked at Chu Xuanji's innocent appearance and silently vowed in his heart to take Chu Xuanji back to relive the old days. Yu Sifeng went through life-threatening trials in the Thirteen Precepts and reached the final level.

Episode 8 Recap

Yu Sifeng's final test was himself. Facing the person before him, he started to fight. Even if he stabbed the opposite body, he remained unharmed. Yu Sifeng desperately resisted himself, but no matter how he harmed the other party, it only backfired. The final level of the Thirteen Precepts was right before him. Yu Sifeng thought of Chu Xuanji and did his best to overcome everything, including the Yu Sifeng who had been tempting him to give up.

Subsequently, the Master of Lize Palace and the Deputy Palace Master appeared before Yu Sifeng, asking him to wear the Lover's Curse Mask before he could leave. Once this Lover's Curse Mask was worn, one had to be emotionless and loveless. Each time one was hurt by love, the curse would take root in the body, and one would die after three times. Yu Sifeng was unwilling to become a cold, emotionless person, living like a walking dead.

Why couldn't Lize Palace be as affectionate and benevolent as other sects? Yu Sifeng hesitated to put it on, and the Master and Deputy Master's earnest persuasion was useless. Yu Sifeng always believed that since the Thirteen Precepts Purgatory Tower could be entered, it could naturally be exited. He wanted to find his own way out. For many days, Chu Xuanji's cultivation had made no progress because she could not comprehend her power due to her incomplete six senses.

Chu Xuanji originally wanted to find a way to improve her cultivation in the bookshelf, but accidentally discovered a book about the Wan Jie Ba Huang Jing. However, Hao Chen did not want Chu Xuanji to know too much, so he forcibly confiscated the book and punished Chu Xuanji by making her cut down all the bamboo.

When Chu Xuanji went to sleep in the evening, Hao Chen wanted to help her erase the memories about the Wan Jie Ba Huang Jing, but in the mortal realm, he could not use his magic. This lifetime was Chu Xuanji's last tribulation. If she passed it safely, she could return to the place where she belonged with Hao Chen.

The next day, Hao Chen began to brainwash Chu Xuanji, telling her that the Wan Jie Ba Huang Jing would disturb people's minds, and anyone who proposed taking her to find it had ill intentions. He also comforted Chu Xuanji, saying that although she lacked six senses, she could smell demonic aura and capture the presence of demonic creatures, destined to possess the talent for subduing demons and eradicating evil.

Chu Xuanji wholeheartedly believed what Hao Chen said without any doubt. Today was Chu Xuanji's birthday. Hao Chen prepared a lot of delicious food for Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji thought about sending blessings to Yu Sifeng, but Hao Chen still refused to return the bell to Chu Xuanji. Yu Sifeng had been trapped in the Thirteen Precepts for a year. His body was tired and weak.

Remembering that today was Chu Xuanji's birthday, Yu Sifeng remotely wished Chu Xuanji happiness and freedom. Chu Xuanji saw Hao Chen coldly refuse Senior Sister Duanqing's farewell, feeling that Senior Brother Hao Chen was too heartless for the sake of cultivation, but was instead lectured by Hao Chen that cultivation should be this way. While Hao Chen was getting wine to celebrate her birthday, Chu Xuanji found the bell and sent blessings to Yu Sifeng.

However, just as she called out Yu Sifeng's name twice, Hao Chen appeared. Chu Xuanji had no choice but to put it down. Hao Chen spoke to Chu Xuanji about love, but Chu Xuanji did not understand. She also loudly declared that she liked Xiao Liuzi (Little Six), and saved many fruits to share with him. Yu Sifeng heard Chu Xuanji's words through the bell and felt depressed and hurt.

The Master of Lize Palace seized the opportunity to provoke Yu Sifeng, saying that Chu Xuanji was not worth Yu Sifeng's desperate efforts, and also threatening Yu Sifeng with Liu Yihuan's life, suggesting that Yu Sifeng had better give up this illusory love. Yu Sifeng's beautiful memories with Chu Xuanji constantly surfaced, but the uncertain feelings and Liu Yihuan's life were presented before him, forcing Yu Sifeng to make a choice. Yu Sifeng finally chose the Loveless Mask.

Past feelings and memories of Chu Xuanji could only be set aside. Upon wearing the mask, the door to the Thirteen Precepts naturally opened, and Yu Sifeng also rescued Liu Yihuan in time. Yu Sifeng outwardly had let go of his feelings, but Liu Yihuan did not successfully save his daughter. He saw his daughter disappear before his eyes.

He also heard that there was an Eye of Heaven in the heavenly realm that could see everything in the world, so he could only search for the Eye of Heaven despite the difficulties to learn his daughter's whereabouts. Wu Tong went into a frenzy. The five major sects continuously pursued him but could not apprehend him. Instead, he was taken away by the Tianxu Hall.

The Tianxu Hall's purpose was clear; they obviously wanted to use Wu Tong to deal with the five major sects. In the blink of an eye, four years had passed. Chu Xuanji had been up the mountain for a long time, causing Chu Linglong to worry every day. But with Xiao Liuzi by her side, Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi still bickered incessantly like when they were children.

Chu Xuanji had been in Xuyang Peak for four years and had completed her studies, ready to return home. Hengyang repeatedly reminded Chu Xuanji to always remember the mission of Xuyang Peak, to guard the secret realm for life, even at the cost of her life. Chu Xuanji calmly made the promise. As Chu Xuanji descended the mountain, she happened to encounter the Shaoyang Sect selecting new disciples. Among the new female disciples, one was pestering Xiao Liuzi.

Chu Linglong was angry with Xiao Liuzi because of this. As soon as Chu Xuanji arrived, she started fighting with that female disciple. It turned out that Chu Xuanji instantly recognized her as a demon and forced the demon to reveal its true form. Chu Lei, wanting to see his daughter's accomplishments over the past few years, let her face it alone. Chu Xuanji quickly dealt with the demonic creature. Everyone was happy for Chu Xuanji.

Chu Linglong and Chu Xuanji reunited and happily ate together. This time, a demon had infiltrated the Shaoyang Sect, forcing Chu Lei to take the investigation of the Shaoyang disciples' identities seriously. Also, the Tianxu Hall had been investigated for many years without any flaws. After all, the ancestors had wiped out almost all demons back then.

However, there was an ancient divine prophecy left for the ancestors, stating that a calamity would occur within this half-Jiazi period (a cycle of sixty years). Now twenty years had passed, leaving only ten years. Chu Lei could only instruct everyone not to relax and must notify other sects to be vigilant. Chu Xuanji and Chu Linglong were both twenty years old and could go down the mountain for training to broaden their horizons.

At this time, Chu Xuanji had just gotten her bell back and began contacting Yu Sifeng, but Yu Sifeng had already let go of his feelings and thus did not hear Chu Xuanji's call. Meanwhile, Liu Yihuan unexpectedly found the Eye of Heaven and slowly began searching for his daughter's whereabouts.

However, seeing Yu Sifeng again and seeing the Lover's Curse Mask on his face, he felt ashamed towards Yu Sifeng and promised to do his best to find a way to remove the Lover's Curse.

Episode 9 Recap

Although Yu Sifeng believed wearing the Lover's Curse Mask was his own choice, Liu Yihuan still felt guilty. Cultivation itself was arduous and long, and to be emotionless and loveless was something Liu Yihuan truly couldn't bear. He thought about helping Yu Sifeng break the mask's curse and even returned Xiao Yinhua to keep Yu Sifeng company. Chu Linglong complained that ever since Chu Xuanji went to Xuyang Peak, she hadn't kept in touch with everyone, especially Yu Sifeng.

When she left, he had repeatedly urged her to contact him. Chu Xuanji had always been ignorant of social etiquette, believing that keeping close friends in her heart was enough. Plus, she had agreed with Yu Sifeng to meet and train together after four years, so Chu Xuanji was sure Yu Sifeng would forgive her.

Chu Xuanji had always mistakenly thought Xiao Liuzi was the person she liked, but Xiao Liuzi had a soft spot for Chu Linglong and didn't understand Chu Xuanji's feelings. Besides the shadow demon in Shaoyang Sect that Chu Xuanji accidentally discovered and eliminated, other major sects had spies planted by the Tianxu Hall. Di Lang had been investigating for years without results. Since joining the Tianxu Hall, Wu Tong had been thinking about how to rise in position.

He seized this opportunity to offer a plan to the Hall Master and even brought someone from the Xuanyuan Sect to the Hall Master to prove that the Xuanyuan Sect had been concealing the spirit stones from Di Lang because the whereabouts of one of the spirit keys was within the Xuanyuan Sect's Orb of Heavenly Secrets. As for the location of the Orb of Heavenly Secrets, only the Xuanyuan Sect's Zhu Shi sect leader knew.

The Hall Master witnessed Wu Tong's vicious thoughts and naturally trusted him, appointing him as the Branch Master of Buzhou Mountain. With Wu Tong's help, the demon realm was about to take action. Four years had passed, and Yu Sifeng's cultivation had greatly improved. The Master of Lize Palace had great expectations for Yu Sifeng and was certain he would hand over the management of Lize Palace to Yu Sifeng.

The Lover's Curse Mask was sinister; once one fell in love again, they would be doomed forever. Yu Sifeng already knew this. Just then, he received a letter from Shaoyang inviting Lize Palace to train together to subdue small demons in the Central Plains. Yu Sifeng's training was also about to begin. Chu Xuanji, Chu Linglong, and Xiao Liuzi bid farewell to Shaoyang.

Hao Chen couldn't help but repeatedly instruct Chu Xuanji and told her to send messages anytime, wanting to keep track of Chu Xuanji's movements at all times. Chu Linglong was more playful and couldn't wait to go down the mountain to have fun. The three ate, drank, and played all the way, but didn't encounter any demons.

Just as they were hoping to subdue a demon for practice, they happened to meet some people from Wangxian Town on their way to Shaoyang Mountain to seek help. Because there were demons in the town wailing like ghosts in the middle of the night, frightening the townsfolk and making it impossible for them to live normally. Since they encountered demons, Chu Xuanji volunteered to fight and subdue the demons.

However, the three looked young, and the townsfolk were not very trusting at first. Thanks to Xiao Liuzi's eloquence and persuasiveness, the townsfolk were convinced, and so the three were invited to subdue the demons. When the people from the town went up the mountain together to pick Zhuyu grass, they were harmed by demons. After hearing the description, Chu Xuanji concluded that the demon was a Quru bird. After identifying the demon, the three immediately began the demon-catching operation.

Chu Xuanji was greedy and even found Zhuyu grass sweet. However, the cuts on the Zhuyu grass on this mountain were uneven, as if they had been forcibly torn off. While they were analyzing this, the three were attacked by Quru birds. Following the flying Quru birds, they surprisingly felt a strong demonic aura. Chu Linglong used a trick to check the situation of the Quru birds under the cliff.

Unexpectedly, hundreds of Quru birds swarmed out of the cave and attacked the three. The three could still resist a few Quru birds, but the number of demons was too large and the attacks were fierce. Chu Xuanji was outmatched, and blood spurted out. Even using her final move, she could only resist for a moment. Just as Chu Xuanji was being tossed around by the Quru birds, Yu Sifeng suddenly appeared.

In the past four years, Yu Sifeng had focused on cultivation, and his power was naturally so strong that the Quru birds were terrified and scattered in panic. Yu Sifeng carried the weak Chu Xuanji out of the cave mouth, placed her on the ground, and continued to pursue the Quru birds. Yu Sifeng and Ruo Yu descended the mountain together for training. However, Yu Sifeng was much colder towards everyone this time.

Chu Xuanji was incredibly happy to see Yu Sifeng. But in the midst of this, Lu Yanran from Dianjing Vally, who had been separated from her fellow disciples, kept interrupting Chu Xuanji's conversation with Yu Sifeng and constantly mocked the three from Shaoyang.

It turned out that Lu Yanran, Yu Sifeng, and others had planned to capture the Quru birds, but their plan was unexpectedly disrupted by Chu Xuanji and the others, which was why she was displeased with the three from Shaoyang. Chu Xuanji was about to train with Yu Sifeng, but Yu Sifeng coldly pushed her away again.

Chu Xuanji asked him if he was angry because she hadn't contacted him, but Yu Sifeng flatly denied it and was even anxious to leave Chu Xuanji. Yu Sifeng was only exceptionally cold towards Chu Xuanji verbally, but when Chu Xuanji fainted because she was poisoned while pursuing the Quru birds, Yu Sifeng still couldn't bear to abandon her. He took Chu Xuanji in, treated her injuries, and patiently listened to Chu Xuanji's explanation.

Chu Xuanji said she had neglected many good friends because she was cultivating in Xuyang Peak. But Chu Xuanji didn't know how Yu Sifeng could become distant from her because of this. Chu Xuanji could never imagine the restriction the new mask behind Yu Sifeng's face placed on him, preventing him from showing emotion. Yu Sifeng gave Chu Xuanji the shard of the Wan Jie Ba Huang Jing that he had found in the bitter water back then.

Chu Xuanji unintentionally refused it due to Hao Chen's instructions. This refusal severed the last remaining link between Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji. Yu Sifeng was hurt by this and sighed, lamenting that people's hearts were indeed fickle and unreliable, not worth trusting. Chu Xuanji pursued Yu Sifeng, but the Quru birds attacked again in flocks. Directly confronting the Quru birds with the current number of people would cause too much loss.

Yu Sifeng used a secret technique of Lize Palace to find the person behind the manipulation of the Quru birds. He fought with them and injured them, but Yu Sifeng had expended too much true energy and his breathing was disordered, requiring him to rest where he was. The remaining people quickly went to pursue the person controlling the birds. Chu Xuanji was originally led away by Chu Linglong, but she was worried about Yu Sifeng and returned halfway.

Chu Xuanji chased away the Quru birds that were ambushing Yu Sifeng. Feeling that Yu Sifeng's breathing was still disordered, she thought about helping him recover. Yu Sifeng had already forcibly suppressed his feelings for Chu Xuanji, but Chu Xuanji showed him all sorts of concern. She acted towards Yu Sifeng as she had before, without any distinction between male and female, only genuine friendship. She reached out to wipe Yu Sifeng's sweat.

Yu Sifeng's forced suppression of his feelings caused his breathing to become even more rapid. Chu Xuanji thought Yu Sifeng was still angry with her and tried different ways to amuse him. Chu Xuanji had originally softened Yu Sifeng's heart, but she just had to mention Xiao Liuzi. Yu Sifeng had already misunderstood that Chu Xuanji liked Xiao Liuzi, and upon hearing this, he wasn't angry but jealous. He sternly shouted at Chu Xuanji.

Chu Xuanji didn't want Yu Sifeng to become distant from her and sadly asked Yu Sifeng why he was different from before, if he didn't want to be good friends anymore. But in Chu Xuanji's heart, Yu Sifeng had always been the warm and kind young man from four years ago.

Episode 10 Recap

Chu Linglong, Xiao Liuzi, Ruo Yu, and the annoying Lu Yanran went together to the place Yu Sifeng had located to search for the person manipulating things from behind. On the way, Chu Linglong wanted to ask Ruo Yu why Yu Sifeng had become like this, but Lu Yanran again interfered and argued continuously with Chu Linglong. However, the person manipulating things from behind suddenly appeared and used magic to capture the four.

Shaoyang's sound transmission talisman indicated that Chu Linglong was in trouble. Chu Xuanji was anxious to save Chu Linglong and the others, so she went with Yu Sifeng. Within half an hour after using his secret technique, Yu Sifeng's power could only recover by 30%. He forcibly circulated his true energy to fight Ao Yin, the person manipulating things from behind, alongside Chu Xuanji. When Chu Xuanji was saving them, she was ambushed and trapped.

Yu Sifeng, trying to save Chu Xuanji, was again not powerful enough and was tightly bound. Yu Sifeng's life was in danger. Chu Xuanji, anxious, revealed her true form again and repelled Ao Yin with one strike. Chu Xuanji's true form almost took Yu Sifeng's life. Fortunately, after Yu Sifeng called out to Chu Xuanji, her true form disappeared. And as Chu Xuanji fainted, Yu Sifeng was also able to successfully break free from his restraints.

Although the demon was dead, the suspicious words he left behind were worrying. The twin stars were about to merge into one, and Tianxu Hall had been building up strength for four years and was now constantly making small moves. These matters were conveyed back to their respective sects by each person. Yu Sifeng looked at the fainted Chu Xuanji and finally softened his heart.

He invited the three from Shaoyang to stay with him at an inn in Wangxian Town to rest. It turned out that Lu Yanran, who had been chattering beside Yu Sifeng, was the original Xiao Yinhua. She had always been worried that Yu Sifeng would fall in love again and hurt his life. Yu Sifeng was already planning to leave and didn't say much more.

Chu Xuanji woke up startled from a dream where she saw Yu Sifeng spitting blood and being weak, forgetting what happened in the cave. She was even more confused, wondering if she had repelled Ao Yin herself. Xiao Liuzi had witnessed Chu Xuanji suddenly transform into someone else before, so he immediately used the excuse that Chu Xuanji had gone into cultivation deviation to hide the matter and sent Chu Linglong away.

Chu Xuanji was worried that the dream would become reality. She had always only wanted to protect everyone, and she couldn't accept becoming someone who harmed others. The townspeople of Wangxian Town held a banquet to thank the few who had defeated the demon. At the banquet, Chu Linglong was unhappy thinking about Xiao Liuzi meeting with Chu Xuanji alone, leaving her out.

Seeing the cold Yu Sifeng, sadness came upon her, and she argued with Lu Yanran for a few sentences, angering Lu Yanran and making her leave. Chu Xuanji was still tangled up in the dream and her actions. She also told Xiao Liuzi that she hadn't yet given her shard to Hao Chen. Xiao Liuzi directly stated that the shard was bewitching Chu Xuanji, which was why she was like this, so he wanted to destroy the shard.

But the shard couldn't be destroyed no matter what, and they couldn't tell others about this matter. However, all of this was seen by Lu Yanran, who was hiding outside the window. While the shard was being destroyed, Lu Yanran mischievously used a spell to make Xiao Liuzi fall onto Chu Xuanji, making them unable to move. Chu Linglong questioned Yu Sifeng why he had changed so much.

How could someone who liked Chu Xuanji so much and was so good to her change so suddenly? Not only Yu Sifeng, but also Xiao Liuzi, who had grown up with her since childhood, had changed. After Lu Yanran's mischief, she led Chu Linglong, Yu Sifeng, and others to Chu Xuanji's room. When everyone pushed the door open, they happened to see Xiao Liuzi and Chu Xuanji together. Even if the two immediately struggled free, it was hard to explain.

Chu Linglong had feelings for Xiao Liuzi, and seeing Xiao Liuzi with her beloved sister like this naturally broke her heart. She drew her sword to confront Xiao Liuzi but couldn't bear to hurt him. Later, she unintentionally learned that the dagger Xiao Liuzi had given to his betrothed was in Chu Xuanji's hands, which made her even more heartbroken. But thinking that Xiao Liuzi loved her sister, Chu Linglong could only offer tearful blessings.

As for Yu Sifeng, he already knew that Lu Yanran had set a trap and deliberately led him to see this to completely sever his feelings for Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji didn't want Yu Sifeng to misunderstand and chased after him. When she tripped and fell on the ground, Yu Sifeng felt heartbroken again. Chu Xuanji chased up and grabbed Yu Sifeng, unintentionally shaking out the Ao Yin sinews Yu Sifeng had collected.

The Ao Yin sinews bound Yu Sifeng's and Chu Xuanji's hands tightly. Xiao Liuzi went to find Chu Linglong to explain. Seeing Chu Linglong cry, he felt heartbroken again. However, his straightforward words angered Chu Linglong again, and the misunderstanding between Xiao Liuzi and Chu Linglong was difficult to resolve.

On the other side, because Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng were connected by the Ao Yin sinews, Lu Yanran could not untie them no matter what method she used, and she even suggested cutting off Chu Xuanji's hand. However, Yu Sifeng protected her, so Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji had to spend the night connected. The next day, they would go to the elders of the Xuanyuan Sect to untie them.

Chu Xuanji was originally shut out of the room by Yu Sifeng, but when Chu Xuanji was trapped, Yu Sifeng couldn't bear it and let her into the room. As soon as Chu Xuanji entered the room, she kept talking about the matters between herself, Xiao Liuzi, and Chu Linglong. Yu Sifeng was already angry and jealous because he misunderstood that Chu Xuanji liked Xiao Liuzi. Now, hearing Chu Xuanji constantly mention liking Xiao Liuzi, his jealousy completely flared up.

He separated Chu Xuanji with a curtain and ordered her to sleep. Seeing Yu Sifeng's serious demeanor, Chu Xuanji obediently complied. Lying on the bed, she couldn't sleep, so she thought about writing down the events of the past few days to report to Hao Chen. As she was writing, she accidentally shook the burning Ao Yin sinews. The Ao Yin sinews shortened as a reactive response, pulling Chu Xuanji flying directly towards Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng caught Chu Xuanji.

Chu Xuanji thought she had discovered the clever way the Ao Yin sinews shortened and tried again. The Ao Yin sinews shortened again, and Chu Xuanji bumped into Yu Sifeng's wound. Chu Xuanji, worried about Yu Sifeng's wound, pulled back the clothes to check. Yu Sifeng, both shy and nervous, pushed Chu Xuanji away. The bell Yu Sifeng carried fell because of the movement. Only then did Chu Xuanji discover that Yu Sifeng had been carrying the bell all along.

She questioned Yu Sifeng about lying, but Yu Sifeng deflected her with a few words. Yu Sifeng was still angry about Chu Xuanji and Xiao Liuzi, but then Chu Xuanji got hungry. Yu Sifeng had no choice but to order food and personally fed Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji praised Yu Sifeng in various ways. Facing the current Yu Sifeng, Chu Xuanji felt she had missed a lot and was a little sad.

However, Yu Sifeng never took off his mask to face Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji felt Yu Sifeng was both familiar and strange. Chu Xuanji muttered these things to herself, and Yu Sifeng didn't respond. But Chu Xuanji wondered if she could see Yu Sifeng's face again, and if she and Yu Sifeng could go back to how they were before.

Yu Sifeng had already decided to stay away from love, but during his training down the mountain, he met Chu Xuanji again, who stirred his emotions. Yu Sifeng asked Chu Xuanji the reason why she liked Xiao Liuzi. However, Chu Xuanji didn't understand love, and what she said was not true affection at all. Yu Sifeng didn't know this and could only be hurt again.

Episode 11 Recap

Ling Shi was obsessed with the method for making Kunyin Dan because once ingested, if one did not continue taking it, they would die violently. The Master of the Xuanyuan Sect learned of Ling Shi's actions and believed that surrendering to demons or seeking help from the other four sects would bring no honor to Xuanyuan. The Master had no choice but to sound the signal horn, calling for everyone in Xuanyuan to face the enemy together.

Chu Linglong was still angry with Zhong Minyan. When she walked out of the inn, she unexpectedly met a child. This child lured Chu Linglong into the depths of the forest, making it impossible for her to return. Fortunately, Zhong Minyan followed and promptly severed the demon spirit's connection with Chu Linglong. However, once they entered the demonic area, it was difficult to escape. Chu Linglong was already enchanted and had lost the ability to resist.

Relying on Zhong Minyan alone was not enough to fend them off, and the two were trapped in a difficult situation. Chu Xuanji feigned a stomach ache and insisted on not leaving the inn. Yu Sifeng couldn't do anything about her, until Ruo Yu informed them that Chu Linglong and Zhong Minyan had run out early in the morning and had not returned.

As soon as Chu Xuanji heard that Chu Linglong was in trouble, she immediately got up and demanded to go search with Yu Sifeng and the others. Chu Linglong and Zhong Minyan disappeared into the nearby dense forest. Chu Xuanji also found Zhong Minyan's tracks. The forest was very strange, and there was a high possibility that something had happened to the two of them. Ruo Yu, Xiao Yinhua, Yu Sifeng, and Chu Xuanji split up.

Ruo Yu, Xiao Yinhua, and Yu Sifeng were also enchanted and lost their minds. Seeing her companions lose their minds, Chu Xuanji pretended to be enchanted to lure the demon out. However, Chu Xuanji alone was overwhelmed and could only free Yu Sifeng. Ruo Yu and Xiao Yinhua, like Chu Linglong and Zhong Minyan, were dragged away and disappeared by the demon.

In order to wake Yu Sifeng, Chu Xuanji, unsure of the type of medicine, fed him an "Antidote Pill". However, Yu Sifeng was unconscious and could not swallow the pill, so Chu Xuanji had to feed him the spirit pill mouth-to-mouth. Yu Sifeng woke up and pushed Chu Xuanji away, not realizing that the pill Chu Xuanji fed him was the "Tuzhen Wan", which the Lize Palace had developed over hundreds of years.

The Tuzhen Wan began to take effect in Yu Sifeng's body. Its effect was to answer every question with the truth. Yu Sifeng answered whatever Chu Xuanji asked seriously. Yu Sifeng admitted that the harsh words he had said before were all false, and that he had always wanted to be with Chu Xuanji, and that everything from that moment onwards was the truth. Chu Xuanji was incredibly happy to hear Yu Sifeng's true feelings.

However, she kept asking questions, forcing Yu Sifeng to keep telling the truth. But ever since he put on the Lover's Curse mask, Yu Sifeng could no longer fall in love. The Lover's Curse would take root in his body, and three Qingyu imprints would grow on his wrist. From then on, every time he was hurt by love, the Qingyu imprints on his wrist would turn into Chiyu on his chest.

When all three imprints turned into Chiyu, his blood would flow backward and he would die. Yu Sifeng forcefully suppressed his emotions with his qi to return to normal. But Chu Xuanji, knowing Yu Sifeng's true feelings, was no longer troubled. Chu Linglong suddenly appeared before Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng. Chu Linglong wore a bamboo hat to avoid the Miyu so as not to be tempted. However, along the way, she saw many villagers hanging from trees.

Yu Sifeng deduced from Chu Linglong's words that this was the life-taking Jialuo vine. This object could release a type of Miyu, enchanting those in the rain to fall into hallucinations, binding them and sucking their blood, and finally producing Xue Jialuo fruit. This fruit could greatly increase a cultivator's power.

Yu Sifeng saw that this place was specially used by someone to produce Xue Jialuo fruit, which meant that Zhong Minyan and the others who were taken were in extreme danger. Zhong Minyan and Ruo Yu were each enchanted by the demon spirit, which awakened their desire to commit suicide. Both of their lives were hanging by a thread. Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng, and Chu Linglong searched everywhere in the forest.

However, the blood vines were entangled with the Migu trees, making it impossible to tell directions. Chu Xuanji originally suggested using her blood to lure the blood vines out, but doing so was extremely dangerous. Based on his accumulated knowledge, Yu Sifeng used music to make the Migu trees bloom, followed the rain butterflies to find the main trunk of the Migu tree, and thus found Ruo Yu, Zhong Minyan, and Xiao Yinhua.

Although they successfully rescued them, how could the demon spirit be willing to give up when its goal was not achieved? It drove the vines to attack everyone. These blood vines came fiercely and heavily entangled Yu Sifeng. Fortunately, Chu Xuanji reacted promptly and saved Yu Sifeng. As soon as Yu Sifeng was freed from the entangled blood vines, he saw that the person holding him was Chu Xuanji.

The Lover's Curse mask flashed, indicating that Yu Sifeng had been struck by the Lover's Curse, manifested as the Qingyu imprint on his arm. Yu Sifeng still could not let go of his feelings for Chu Xuanji; in the end, he still fell in love with her. Everyone was safely freed from their restraints. Xiao Yinhua, concerned about Yu Sifeng, noticed the imprint on his arm, but Yu Sifeng was unwilling to talk about it.

Everyone shifted their attention to the demon spirit. Who would have thought that this little demon spirit was the demon spirit transformed from Liu Yihuan's deceased daughter, Yu'er? Everyone wanted to bring Yu'er to justice, but Liu Yihuan arrived in time and protected his daughter in every way, explaining the reason to everyone.

He asked Yu'er to reveal the person behind the demon spirit who instructed it to harm people, but before Yu'er could open her mouth, she was summoned away by someone behind the scenes using magic. Chu Xuanji followed the scent of the demon spirit. The person who summoned it from behind was actually Ling Shi from the Xuanyuan Sect. Ling Shi was possessed and had gone mad, using humans to refine elixirs.

Everyone was about to arrest Ling Shi and take him to the Xuanyuan Sect for questioning, but suddenly a burst of purple smoke erupted and intercepted Ling Shi. Just as everyone recovered from the smoke, Yu Sifeng sustained minor injuries while protecting Chu Xuanji, but Zhong Minyan was seriously injured while protecting Chu Linglong and was temporarily unconscious. Chu Linglong was extremely worried about Zhong Minyan.

Zhong Minyan woke up and eagerly expressed his feelings, but Chu Linglong could not believe or accept them for a moment. Zhong Minyan then wanted to take the opportunity to clarify things with Chu Xuanji, but Yu Sifeng, considering Chu Xuanji's feelings, forcefully interrupted him. Chu Xuanji, with her incomplete six senses and ignorance of love, had no idea what everyone was angry about.

Episode 12 Recap

Everyone understood that Yu'er was being controlled by someone and had already died once, making it difficult for her as a demon spirit. Thus, they forgave Yu'er and left her under Liu Yihuan's care. Chu Linglong decided to go to the Xuanyuan Sect to inform Zhu Shi, the sect master, about Ling Shi, leaving Zhong Minyan behind and going alone.

Yu Sifeng told Zhong Minyan to think clearly about how to handle the feelings among the three of them before making any plans, and then followed Chu Linglong and Chu Xuanji there. The Xuanyuan Sect was in disarray, unlike normal times. When Chu Linglong reported to Zhu Shi and Mosh Shi, they were indifferent. As the three were about to leave, Mo Shi insisted on them staying the night.

Fortunately, Yu Sifeng was quick-witted and revealed the fact that he had companions waiting, which allowed them to get away. As the three were leaving, Zhu Shi suddenly asked them to take a gift he was sending for the birthday banquet of the wife of the island master of Fuyu Island. The gift was handed to Chu Xuanji but could only be sent after Mo Shi inspected it.

As expected, Zhu Shi, the sect master of the Xuanyuan Sect, was controlled by the Heavenly Ruins Hall. The Heavenly Ruins Hall had arranged people there to threaten him into handing over the Spiritual Key. Zhu Shi was determined not to yield even unto death, but the other two elders under him had already surrendered and were doing their utmost to persuade Zhu Shi.

The three came down the mountain safely, all feeling that the situation at the Xuanyuan Sect was strange. However, upon returning to the inn, they were once again troubled by matters of love. The misunderstanding between Chu Linglong and Zhong Minyan had not yet been resolved. Meanwhile, Xiao Yinhua kept reminding Yu Sifeng about the dangers of the Lover's Curse, fearing he would die because of it.

But from the moment Yu Sifeng put on the Lover's Mask, he felt there was no longer any happiness in the world. Yet at this moment, letting himself feel love was a decision to bear whatever happened in the future himself. From the moment he made this decision, how joyful and free Yu Sifeng became. Having resolved his daughter's matter, Liu Yihuan returned to his usual frivolous attitude. But this time, he brought news related to lifting the Lover's Curse.

It turned out that Liu Yihuan had unintentionally overheard a conversation between the Master of Lize Palace and the Deputy Master, learning that there was a secret chamber in Lize Palace which contained the method to lift the Lover's Curse. Only when a person's true love, with a heart set on no one else but only one person, personally removes the mask, can the Lover's Curse be broken.

Although there was a method, Yu Sifeng did not want to force Chu Xuanji to fall in love with him. Liu Yihuan, relying on his many years of "roaming" experience, told Yu Sifeng that Chu Xuanji, in her clueless state with her feelings undeveloped, was quite easy to "conquer." It turned out that Liu Yihuan had long ago explained the difference between different kinds of "liking" to Chu Xuanji.

There are many kinds of liking, but there will always be one person for whom you would abandon all other kinds of liking. A simple way to differentiate was whether Chu Xuanji would be willing to abandon Chu Linglong and take Zhong Minyan to live on a deserted island. Chu Xuanji was naturally unwilling. However, matters of love were not so easy for Chu Xuanji to understand.

She still did not understand what it felt like to like someone uniquely and exclusively, something that could not be shared. Liu Yihuan started assisting early in the morning, telling Chu Xuanji to listen to Yu Sifeng and eat more vegetables. But Chu Linglong and Zhong Minyan were still awkward with each other.

Even though Zhong Minyan publicly admitted in front of everyone that he only liked Chu Linglong, Chu Linglong was afraid of hurting Chu Xuanji and couldn't accept it. After a night, Chu Xuanji finally understood the unique exclusiveness of feelings. When Chu Linglong and Zhong Minyan started arguing again, Chu Xuanji promptly stepped forward to explain that back then, she knew "liking" meant wanting to see that person every day.

Zhong Minyan brought her food when her sense of taste just recovered, and she waited for him every day, so she thought he was the person she liked. Afterwards, Chu Xuanji also gave the dagger Zhong Minyan had given her to Chu Linglong. Chu Xuanji's explanation cleared up everyone's misunderstanding, making everyone feel sweet inside. But Chu Linglong then questioned the incident where Zhong Minyan and Chu Xuanji hugged.

Seeing that another misunderstanding was about to arise, Chu Xuanji quickly told everyone the secret between her and Zhong Minyan. Chu Linglong and Zhong Minyan, having confirmed each other's feelings, went off to playfully tease each other. Chu Xuanji was held back by Liu Yihuan, who strongly recommended Yu Sifeng. His speech was originally intended to make Chu Xuanji notice and cherish Yu Sifeng. However, Yu Sifeng took Xiao Yinhua aside to lecture her and then turned to leave.

Yu Sifeng understood that the misunderstanding that night stemmed from Xiao Yinhua's scheming. Xiao Yinhua proactively admitted her mistake. Yu Sifeng admonished Xiao Yinhua to focus her efforts on cultivation, and warned her not to play any more tricks, or he would not hesitate to disregard their master-servant bond. Liu Yihuan continued to persuade Yu Sifeng to woo Chu Xuanji and make her promise herself to him, even wanting to teach Yu Sifeng various unreliable methods.

How could Yu Sifeng, a gentle and refined gentleman, carelessly use such methods on Chu Xuanji? Yu Sifeng accompanied Chu Xuanji on a walk. Chu Xuanji pretended to cry to tease Yu Sifeng. Since Chu Xuanji truly didn't understand love and felt she wasn't normal, she could only imitate others. Yu Sifeng patiently told Chu Xuanji that tears were precious and should not be shed lightly.

Chu Xuanji felt even more disheartened and didn't want to live a clueless life anymore. Chu Xuanji recorded Yu Sifeng in her notebook as an important person and showed it to him. Yu Sifeng was happy to learn that he was also an important person to Chu Xuanji. It turned out that in Chu Xuanji's heart, family affection, friendship, and love were mixed together, and she couldn't distinguish them.

Yu Sifeng told Chu Xuanji that she didn't need to specifically differentiate these feelings, as they would one day arise from her heart naturally. Chu Xuanji was disheartened that she was a person with incomplete six senses and couldn't develop feelings like normal people. Chu Xuanji suddenly had the idea of continuing to search for her six senses but was also afraid that her strange memories and power might harm everyone.

Yu Sifeng enlightened Chu Xuanji, saying that the world is not black and white. If one doesn't know how to distinguish, how can they punish evil and promote good? And when Chu Xuanji's strange power appeared, it was always when everyone was in danger. Therefore, Chu Xuanji's power was not necessarily evil; with proper guidance, it could become her aid, and Yu Sifeng would always stay by Chu Xuanji's side.

Yu Sifeng accompanying Chu Xuanji made her feel particularly at ease. Chu Xuanji prepared everything to accept the fragment of the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations and Eight Desolations. However, as soon as she took the fragment, those painful memories appeared. After the memories subsided, Chu Xuanji regained her sense of smell. Yu Sifeng took Chu Xuanji, who had recovered her sense of smell, to smell the fragrance of peach blossoms. The scent of each flower was different.

Although she temporarily lacked the sense of sight, Chu Xuanji could distinguish different floral scents by smell. However, Chu Xuanji thought Yu Sifeng's scent was better, and playfully leaned closer to him. Chu Xuanji felt this scent was very familiar. Chu Xuanji's unintentional closeness made Yu Sifeng's heart stir, finding it hard to control himself. For Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng even started learning to cook.

Chu Xuanji still reported her experiences to Hao Chen, but she hid the matter of the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations and Eight Desolations. After a night of quick learning, Yu Sifeng surprisingly cooked a whole table of delicious food.

Episode 13 Recap

Yu Sifeng was able to cook a table full of delicious food right after going through a crash course in cooking. It turned out that Chu Xuanji loved food and thus liked the cooks of Shao Yang, so Yu Sifeng decided to capture Chu Xuanji's heart by first capturing her stomach.

Chu Xuanji not only happily ate the delicious food but also generously announced to everyone that she had recovered her sense of smell and would continue searching for her six senses. Chu Linglong and Zhong Minyan were wholeheartedly devoted to Chu Xuanji and were naturally happy for her. Liu Yihuan was originally determined to make amends with his daughter, but the misunderstanding with his daughter Yu'er was too deep, and Yu'er left by herself again.

Before going to chase his daughter, Liu Yihuan told Yu Sifeng that he had discovered a fragment of the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations and Eight Desolations on Gao Shi Mountain in Zhongli City, hoping that Yu Sifeng would seize the opportunity to pursue Chu Xuanji while taking her to find it. So, a group of six people arrived at Zhongli City, journeying noisily all the way to the bustling Zhongli City.

Yu Sifeng inquired and found that in Zhongli City, there was only Immortal Mountain, not Gao Shi Mountain, and an immortal lived on the mountain. The six people arrived at the immortal's residence, but a powerful barrier was set up outside, making it extremely eerie.

Even with everyone's combined effort, they couldn't break through the barrier, but Yu Sifeng heard that this so-called Immortal Gao was about to descend to the mortal realm, and then the barrier would open; they just needed to wait. Afterward, Yu Sifeng took everyone to rest and play in Zhongli City while waiting for the immortal to descend.

Yu Sifeng seized the opportunity to spend time alone with Chu Xuanji, thanks to the quick-witted Chu Linglong who blocked the third wheel, Xiao Yinhua. Subsequently, Chu Linglong and Zhong Minyan wandered around and sought a fortune stick. The stick they drew was the worst possible omen, indicating misfortune for the current year. Zhong Minyan, worried that Chu Linglong would overthink, shook out a stick for a marriage fortune, which was the best possible omen.

However, Chu Linglong deliberately avoided their relationship due to shyness. Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji had great fun watching the excitement in the city. Chu Xuanji's hair accidentally got caught on Yu Sifeng's clothes and became messy. Yu Sifeng's heart was stirred into a tangled mess, and he excused himself to buy a hairpin. Chu Xuanji wandered around alone and was unexpectedly harassed by the local rich idler, Fang Yizhen.

Yu Sifeng gently placed a hairpin on Chu Xuanji and slightly punished the idler, while also warning Chu Xuanji not to talk to strange men in the future. Immortal Gao's descent in Zhongli City drew worship from the populace. The immortal threw down a scroll of decree, which was a list of new people to be married/sacrificed in the new year to ensure favorable weather for Zhongli City.

Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji witnessed this but still couldn't enter the barrier. Chu Xuanji smelled that the so-called immortal had the same aura as the demon creature who had taken Ling Shi, confirming she was definitely not an ordinary cultivator. As the two were discussing the immortal, Fang Yizhen, the rich idler from earlier, found them seeking help. Every year, four men in the city were selected to be sent up the mountain.

It turned out Fang Yizhen was one of the men selected to be sent to the immortal's residence this year. According to Fang Yizhen's description, he had witnessed the immortal's demon-like appearance, and the men sent up the mountain were never heard from again. Fang Yizhen and others pleaded with the two for help. Yu Sifeng decided to help the few people defeat the demon, and also search for what he was looking for, achieving two goals at once.

Including Yu Sifeng, Ruo Yu, and Zhong Minyan, plus Chu Xuanji disguised as a man, there were a total of four people who pretended to be from Zhongli City and went up the mountain. Chu Linglong repeatedly warned Chu Xuanji to be careful and asked Zhong Minyan to protect her well. An extra bead suddenly appeared among the Niansui Beads given to Chu Xuanji by Ying Hong.

Because the beads were old, Chu Linglong and Chu Xuanji couldn't remember clearly and didn't pay too much attention. Chu Xuanji gave the transmission bell to Chu Linglong to make it convenient for them to contact each other the next day. Hao Chen was originally worried about Chu Xuanji, who hadn't contacted him for too long, but something went wrong with Hengyang's seclusion, so Hao Chen could only first protect Hengyang while he was cultivating.

Hengyang had used his true energy incorrectly while guarding the formation eye, leaving Hao Chen to teach him alone. Hengyang thought that cultivating the Heartless Formula required forgetting passion and love, only for the sake of the world, and he was confident he could do it when he was young. However, as his cultivation deepened, he could never break through. Now, looking through the Passionate Formula, he realized he might have chosen incorrectly back then.

Hao Chen disagreed with Hengyang's cultivation insights. He said that the myriad paths in the world were merely methods. Whether it was the Passionate Formula or the Heartless Formula, or even other practices in the world, as long as they could be used for oneself, they were valid paths. With the Heavenly Dao as one's heart, all things were part of the Dao. Hao Chen's explanation moved Hengyang. Hengyang was ashamed that he wasn't as insightful as his disciple.

Hao Chen's understanding of cultivation even seemed like something someone who had lived for thousands of years could comprehend. Yu Sifeng and the others went up the mountain according to the original plan, changing into women's wedding dresses. They looked incredibly handsome in the bright red outfits, in a dazed and somewhat bewildered way. Chu Linglong and Xiao Yinhua squatted in the grass and bickered. Chu Xuanji hadn't changed into the wedding dress yet, fearing exposure.

Fortunately, Yu Sifeng was quick-witted and covered for Chu Xuanji, protecting her while she changed. However, there was medicine on the veils, so they had to hold their breath the whole way up to avoid falling victim to it. Wu Tong personally led the demons from the Heavenly Ruins Hall to massacre the Xuanyuan Sect, forcefully demanding that Zhu Shi hand over the Spiritual Key.

Only then did Zhu Shi realize that the disaster for Xuanyuan Sect was caused by his own single-minded pursuit of victory. He had missed one opportunity back then, and now he absolutely could not align himself with evil demons. Zhu Shi was determined to die together with the evil demons and not disgrace the name of Xuanyuan. However, Wu Tong held Zhu Shi hostage and demanded that the Xuanyuan disciples kneel and beg for mercy.

The Xuanyuan disciples were spineless and surrendered to Wu Tong. Xuanyuan Sect, founded 1,300 years ago, was ultimately destroyed by Zhu Shi's generation. Zhu Shi felt he had failed the sect and his ancestors and chose to sacrifice himself rather than reveal the whereabouts of the Spiritual Key. Xuanyuan Shifeng betrayed the location of the Spiritual Key for a slim chance of survival.

However, Zhu Shi had already attached the Spiritual Key to the Heavenly Mystery Bead and given it to Chu Xuanji and the others. Wu Tong speculated that Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng, and the others had taken the Spiritual Key. Meanwhile, Yu Sifeng and the others successfully entered the Immortal Gao's mansion, prompting the immortal to appear. This immortal was a thousand-year-old Zi Hu who specialized in devouring men's vital energy. Zi Hu charmed Yu Sifeng, Ruo Yu, and Zhong Minyan, but Chu Xuanji remained clear-headed because she was a woman.

Episode 14 Recap

Zi Hu saw through Chu Xuanji's female identity, and also knew about Yu Sifeng's feelings for Chu Xuanji. Zi Hu hated lovers the most in her life, and to retaliate, she wanted to suck dry Yu Sifeng's vital energy, making him her slave. Zi Hu threw Chu Xuanji out of the cave residence, making Chu Xuanji anxious.

Chu Xuanji accidentally discovered murals covering the walls around the cave residence, and the content of the murals was actually scenes of Zi Hu's life with a man. Chu Linglong and Xiao Yinhua searched everywhere but couldn't find Chu Xuanji's whereabouts, so they had to use the bell to send a message and contact Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji told Chu Linglong what had happened.

After Chu Linglong confirmed the location of Chu Xuanji and the others, she rushed over to save them. Yu Sifeng, Ruo Yu, and Little Six were charmed by Zi Hu and couldn't move, only their mouths could still argue with Zi Hu. A few careless words angered Zi Hu, who then transformed into the lovers of each of them to confuse their minds.

As Chu Xuanji searched inside the cave, she unexpectedly reached a secret room and met the merman Ting Nu by chance. Ting Nu was acquainted with Zi Hu. To find out what happened in the heavenly realm a thousand years ago, Zi Hu captured Ting Nu to question him. Ting Nu was originally just a medical official in the heavenly realm and knew little about major events, so he had nothing to say.

Zi Hu didn't believe him and imprisoned him there. Chu Xuanji temporarily forgot about Yu Sifeng's danger and was curious about the appearance of the heavenly realm. Ting Nu told Chu Xuanji that he thought the most beautiful scene in the heavenly realm was when the God of War general confided her thoughts to the Golden Crimson Bird by the lotus pond, but there were still disputes among the immortals in the heavenly realm, and it wasn't that beautiful.

After Ting Nu reminded her, Chu Xuanji remembered that she still had friends waiting for her to rescue them. Ting Nu guided her to find Zi Hu's true body. Only by destroying Zi Hu's true body could she be harmed, but Yu Sifeng and the others were deeply trapped in illusions and couldn't break free. The situation was extremely critical. Zi Hu's true body was not easy to find, but Ting Nu used sound to lure it out.

Because Zi Hu had only gone astray for a while and hadn't committed evil deeds, Ting Nu requested Chu Xuanji to spare Zi Hu's life. Chu Xuanji was originally straightforward and insisted on punishing Zi Hu. Only after Ting Nu's persistent persuasion did Chu Xuanji abandon the idea. Ting Nu then used a telepathic spiritual technique to connect Zi Hu and Chu Xuanji for communication, but the communication was not only ineffective but also angered Zi Hu.

Feeling her true body being acted upon, Zi Hu hastily left. Yu Sifeng and Ruo Yu both woke up from the illusions, but only Little Six was still immersed in his love for Chu Linglong. Yu Sifeng promptly woke up Little Six. The three of them were completely sober, but instead felt embarrassed. They also agreed to hide everything that had just happened from each other's beloveds.

Zi Hu had temporarily left, so the three of them could only search inside Zi Hu's cave. However, no matter how they circled around, they couldn't leave the designated area. Zi Hu had set up a formation using the murals in the center of the cave to create the illusion of being lost, making it impossible for them to walk out. Yu Sifeng easily broke the formation and found a way out.

Chu Xuanji took the initiative but failed to break Zi Hu's true body and instead angered Zi Hu. However, Chu Xuanji's strength was no match. Ting Nu wondered why Chu Xuanji's power in this life was far less than it was back then. Chu Xuanji was worried about Yu Sifeng's safety and did not take this remark to heart.

Ting Nu, worried about Chu Xuanji's safety, urged her to leave quickly, because Zi Hu was a thousand-year-old fox demon, and ordinary fire was useless against her. Chu Xuanji insisted on fighting Zi Hu to the death. At this time, Zi Hu's illusory body also came and merged with her true body.

When facing Chu Xuanji, Zi Hu spoke numerous angry words, causing Chu Xuanji to believe that Yu Sifeng had been sucked dry of his vital energy and turned into a husk. Chu Xuanji had only just managed to reunite with Yu Sifeng, and it was with great difficulty that they could train together down the mountain. But Chu Xuanji mistakenly believed Zi Hu had harmed Yu Sifeng, which once again enraged her and forced out her true self.

Her power was immense, sending Zi Hu scurrying around the cave, and she even used the Samadhi True Fire, terrifying Zi Hu into begging for mercy. Just as Chu Xuanji was about to lose control, Yu Sifeng appeared in time. As soon as Chu Xuanji saw Yu Sifeng, she returned to normal. Chu Linglong and Xiao Yinhua had also found the entrance to Zi Hu's cave residence.

Zi Hu was miserably tied to a pillar, and everyone wondered why Zi Hu had to capture strong men up the mountain every year to absorb their vital energy. Zi Hu finally twisted out the truth. Zi Hu had never harmed humans; she only absorbed a little vital energy from the people she captured. All of this was to save someone and guard the Sea Calming Iron Chains under Gao Shi Mountain.

Zi Hu was doing this to rescue her beloved Wu Zhiqi. However, according to what Ting Nu revealed, Wu Zhiqi had never said he loved Zi Hu. As soon as Wu Zhiqi was mentioned, Zi Hu became exceptionally agitated. Wu Zhiqi mistakenly trusted the demon race and committed a mistake, leading him to be suppressed under the iron chains.

The Sea Calming Iron Chains were formed by the aura of Gao Shi Mountain and several other tall mountains, reaching directly to the bottom of Burning City. They could not be cut by any weapon in the mortal realm.

They could only be opened by the spiritual keys guarded by the four major sects, which were the Seven Star Plate of Dianjing Vally, the Heavenly Mystery Bead of Xuanyuan Sect, the Flood Dragon Moon Blade of Fuyu Island, and the Flying Dragon Seal of Lize Palace. As for the spiritual keys, they were hidden within the sect-protecting spiritual artifacts that the heavenly realm gave to the four major sects a thousand years ago.

Zi Hu kindly reminded them that the demons from the Heavenly Ruins Hall were also looking for the spiritual keys. Yu Sifeng quickly reacted, remembering the unusual events at Xuanyuan Sect back then and the gift entrusted by Zhu Shi. Zi Hu revealed that the ultimate goal of the Heavenly Ruins Hall in searching for the spiritual keys was to awaken the Star of Mosha.

The four of them did not know about the spiritual keys and the Star of Mosha. Ting Nu patiently explained that the Star of Mosha was the strongest inner force user among the Asura clan in the demon realm, possessing power capable of destroying heaven and earth. A thousand years ago, the demon realm, led by the Star of Mosha, waged a great war against the heavenly realm. No one in the heavenly realm could resist the Star of Mosha.

Later, the Star of Mosha was killed by the God of War general. Although the Star of Mosha was temporarily destroyed, there were rumors that the Star of Mosha had fallen into the cycle of reincarnation and could return at any time. The Heavenly Ruins Hall was a re-established organization of the demon race that was defeated back then, attempting to awaken the Star of Mosha and overthrow the three realms again.

Facing such a great crisis, Chu Xuanji was anxious to return to Shao Yang and tell her father, but this was not a minor matter and couldn't be handled hastily. Xiao Yinhua and Chu Linglong entered Zi Hu's cave and were also wandering around near the murals. Xiao Yinhua accidentally touched a mural and nearly fell into a formation. Thanks to Chu Linglong pulling her back in time, she was saved. Xiao Yinhua and Chu Linglong unintentionally activated a mural.

A fragment of the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations and Eight Desolations showed through the mural, but it couldn't be easily taken out. Xiao Yinhua was anxious to save Yu Sifeng, so she pulled Chu Linglong and walked away. To prove that she had not harmed the people on the mountain, Zi Hu took Chu Xuanji and the others to see the paradise she had created. Those people were willing to stay there and recuperate.

Out of consideration for Chu Xuanji and the others, Zi Hu had to dismiss those people for now. As for Zi Hu, she still needed to gather the spiritual keys to rescue Wu Zhiqi. Only by rescuing Wu Zhiqi could she prevent him from being controlled by the demon realm again to awaken the Star of Mosha and cause chaos in the three realms. Chu Xuanji and the others still did not completely believe Zi Hu.

Ling Shi, whose poison had flared up, tried to escape but was discovered and captured back. When Ling Shi appeared, they found that Chu Xuanji had the Heavenly Mystery Bead of Xuanyuan Sect in her hand. He knew that Xuanyuan Sect was in grave danger, but ultimately, he was also a pitiful person. He had merely fallen into the Heavenly Ruins Hall's plot in order to revitalize Xuanyuan Sect. And his killing of innocent people to find Zhuyu Grass and Blood Caltrop Fruits was just to save the members of his sect.

Episode 15 Recap

Chu Xuanji and her group took Ling Shi to Fuyu Island for help, but Zi Hu chased after the spiritual keys relentlessly. Yu Sifeng proposed exchanging the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations and Eight Desolations for the spiritual keys, but Zi Hu vehemently denied any knowledge of the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations and Eight Desolations. Chu Linglong and Xiao Yinhua rejoined the main group and exposed Zi Hu face-to-face.

However, before everyone could discuss the matter of the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations and Eight Desolations and the spiritual keys, they were attacked by demons. The fact that Xuanyuan Sect had been massacred was already evident. The demons wanted to annihilate everyone and even snatched away the fragments of the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations and Eight Desolations. Fortunately, Zi Hu chased after them and knocked the fragments down.

One of them fell into Chu Xuanji's hand, and Chu Xuanji was instantly able to see colors. It turned out that Wu Tong was leading the demons in pursuing everyone. Wu Tong had not forgotten the humiliating past of being chased by righteous sects; he had become cruel and ruthless. As a minion of the Heavenly Ruins Hall, his priority was naturally to complete the Heavenly Ruins Hall's tasks, followed by taking personal revenge and killing everyone.

Stimulated by the massacre of Xuanyuan Sect, Ling Shi pushed Chu Xuanji and the others to a safe area, entrusting them to protect the spiritual keys. Then, he used his power to self-detonate, perishing together with the demons. Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng also fell into the water below the cliff due to the impact of the internal energy.

Chu Xuanji suddenly felt her true body possessing her, and the truth of the war in the heavenly realm from that year appeared before her eyes. However, when Chu Xuanji regained consciousness from the water, she again forgot about the heavenly realm matters. She only noticed that Yu Sifeng in front of her was seriously injured, his forehead bleeding profusely from the impact. Worried about Yu Sifeng's injuries, Chu Xuanji once again took off his mask.

The Lover's Curse mask was thus easily removed by Chu Xuanji. Although Yu Sifeng was seriously injured, he slowly regained consciousness. Chu Xuanji had already checked all of Yu Sifeng's wounds and carefully treated each one. Yu Sifeng was worried Chu Xuanji would discover his Cyan Feather Curse and also shyly wanted to push away Chu Xuanji's help. However, treating wounds was irrelevant to gender; Yu Sifeng had taught Chu Xuanji this understanding four years ago.

Yu Sifeng unintentionally discovered his mask was gone. Chu Xuanji naively explained that she had taken it off. Because Liu Yihuan had said that only someone who truly loved Yu Sifeng and had no other distractions in their heart could take off the mask, Yu Sifeng was uncontrollably excited despite his injuries, believing that Chu Xuanji had already confirmed her feelings. He tightly hugged Chu Xuanji.

Yu Sifeng had never imagined that Chu Xuanji could take off the mask so quickly, or that he could so smoothly gain Chu Xuanji's true feelings. Chu Xuanji wondered if Lize Palace considered removing the mask a good thing or a bad thing. Regardless, for Yu Sifeng, taking off the Lover's Curse mask was naturally a tremendous good thing.

Once they safely left, he planned to take Chu Xuanji to Lize Palace to see the Master of Lize Palace and explain the matter. Once he had given the Master of Lize Palace an explanation, he could be with Chu Xuanji forever. Chu Xuanji didn't understand the true meaning, but being with Yu Sifeng forever was also something she yearned for. Chu Xuanji was genuinely happy at this moment.

Yu Sifeng's heart stirred, and he wanted to kiss Chu Xuanji, but unexpectedly, Chu Xuanji quickly kissed Yu Sifeng's face, teasing him and making his face gradually turn red. Since Chu Xuanji could see colors, she began to be curious about all colors. Yu Sifeng patiently and meticulously explained.

Chu Xuanji was curious about the most beautiful color in the world, and Yu Sifeng told Chu Xuanji with a double meaning that the red of a wedding dress was the most beautiful. Chu Xuanji thought she had done the right thing by taking off Yu Sifeng's mask and playfully wanted to change his bandages and treat his wounds. The two were sweet and happy together. Chu Linglong and Little Six carefully hid from the demon race inside the cave.

Ruo Yu and Xiao Yinhua were together. Ruo Yu's mask also fell off and was damaged due to an accident. Returning to Lize Palace would certainly mean punishment according to the palace rules, but Ruo Yu's feelings for Xiao Yinhua were also clearly revealed. Chu Linglong used the bell to contact Chu Xuanji, confirming their safety, and decided to split up to go to Fuyu Island for help. Chu Linglong and Little Six met Wu Tong around a corner.

Wu Tong's demonic power was strong, and he had a large number of people. He captured Chu Linglong to threaten Shao Yang and Chu Xuanji into handing over the spiritual keys, and used a large force to hold back Little Six. Little Six was in a dangerous situation, fighting the demons in a bloody battle. Chu Xuanji searched for food for Yu Sifeng and accidentally touched a spiritual sword under a tree.

The spiritual sword seemed to communicate with the heavens; touching it would trigger lightning, which was extremely strange. The four great spirit beasts of the heavenly realm learned of the spiritual sword's movements and went up to the heavenly realm to report to King Bailin. However, King Bailin was not in the heavenly realm and was stopped by Siming.

Teng She Divine Lord, whom King Bailin had ordered someone to guard inside the palace, also learned of the spiritual sword's anomaly and requested to descend to the mortal realm to investigate. It turned out that the God of War's sword, Dingkun, had fallen into the mortal realm that year and was sealed there by King Bailin. The sealing token in Teng She Divine Lord's hand showed an anomaly, which naturally meant someone was after Dingkun.

However, King Bailin had long ago ordered that Teng She Divine Lord was not allowed to come and go freely. The guarding heavenly soldiers even displayed the Azure Dragon Divine Lord to scare Teng She, and Teng She could only obediently listen. The lightning triggered by the spiritual sword kept chasing Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji had no choice but to casually pick up a few wild fruits to bring back to Yu Sifeng.

The place where the two were trapped was filled with barriers, preventing anyone from entering or leaving. Yu Sifeng had originally planned to stay in the cave until his injuries healed before returning the way they came. There was no food in the cave. Although the picked fruits were bitter, Yu Sifeng still found the fruits that Chu Xuanji had personally gathered and personally fed him to be sweet.

Yu Sifeng took out the steamed buns he had hidden earlier and gave them to Chu Xuanji to eat. He used the excuse of being picky to only eat the bitter fruits himself. The two happily ate the metaphorical "painted cake" to fill their hunger, cherishing the rare warm atmosphere. Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng leaned against each other. Facing Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng was even more unable to suppress his emotions.

It was only when they were facing each other that Yu Sifeng could pour out his heart. Chu Linglong was captured by Wu Tong, who threatened her to use the bell to communicate with Chu Xuanji. Chu Linglong pretended to compromise and then smashed the bell, vowing she would rather die than yield to Wu Tong. As for Little Six, he was injured by the demons and thrown outside the city.

Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng had been trapped in the cave for several days, trying everything possible but unable to break the barrier. Yu Sifeng wanted to find the Lover's Curse mask because he would eventually have to take it back to Lize Palace and give his master an explanation. Furthermore, the mask was made from the bark of the Kunlun Immortal Tree, full of spiritual energy, which might be helpful in opening the barrier.

Episode 16 Recap

Yu Sifeng originally wanted to find the mask to use its power to break through the barrier, but the mask he found was not smiling as he imagined, and the Cyan Feather mark on his arm had not disappeared. The mask that Chu Xuanji had taken off was crying, also indicating that the Lover's Curse was not broken. Yu Sifeng could not explain the reason and could only comfort himself by focusing on finding a way out.

The spiritual sword that Chu Xuanji had touched earlier was the core of the formation here; breaking it would open the barrier. Yu Sifeng used the mask to forcefully resist the spiritual sword but was injured by it. Chu Xuanji worried about Yu Sifeng's safety and forcefully pulled out the spiritual sword. However, countless powers surged into Chu Xuanji's body.

Just like this, the heavenly realm's Chu Xuanji was held by iron chains by the heavenly realm's people and forced to admit guilt. The Chu Xuanji of that year did not bow her head, and today's Chu Xuanji would not easily let go of the spiritual sword. At this moment, Chu Xuanji's potential was infinitely stimulated, and she threw out the spiritual sword Dingkun, breaking the barrier. However, as the power was drained, Chu Xuanji softly fell.

Teng She sensed that the Dingkun barrier was broken, which meant that the God of War had appeared. After Chu Xuanji woke up, she still did not remember what had just happened. Chu Xuanji tried to call out the name of the spiritual sword, Dingkun, and Dingkun entered Chu Xuanji's body, becoming her life sword. During the process of pulling out Dingkun, Chu Xuanji finally saw the general's face; she looked exactly like Chu Xuanji and was experiencing immense injustice.

Chu Xuanji was flustered by her past and the facts she saw. Fortunately, Yu Sifeng was by her side to comfort her, saying that once all the fragments of the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations and Eight Desolations were gathered, she would know Chu Xuanji's past and present life, and there was no need to worry about unknown things at present. Xiao Yinhua and Ruo Yu entered the cave where the barrier had opened and found Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng.

Ruo Yu had to return to Lize Palace first to receive punishment because his mask was damaged. Yu Sifeng ordered Xiao Yinhua to go to the Heavenly Ruins Hall to inquire about the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations and Eight Desolations. Xiao Yinhua was excited to see that Yu Sifeng's curse was still there and asked about the unusual reason. Yu Sifeng speculated that it might be related to Chu Xuanji's six senses not being open.

Xiao Yinhua was very worried that Yu Sifeng would be hurt by Chu Xuanji and clamored that she would never let Chu Xuanji off. Yu Sifeng disliked Xiao Yinhua saying such things; he could handle his own life. The task he wanted Xiao Yinhua to do now was also to help Chu Xuanji recover her six senses as quickly as possible and break the curse. Hao Chen turned out to be King Bailin of the heavenly realm.

Siming of the heavenly realm descended to the mortal realm to find him. The Emperor had been in the mortal realm for several years in human time, which was but an instant in the heavenly realm. Siming came this time for his book, "Records of the Three Realms' Grievances." Since the Emperor descended to the mortal realm, material was cut off and the writing was stalled. Now that there were changes, he came to ask the Emperor for his feelings.

Because the Emperor could not use magic power after descending to the mortal realm, he did not know what changes had occurred. Siming reported that the reincarnation of the God of War had escaped the Emperor's control and broken the seal. Upon hearing the news, Hao Chen and Yu Sifeng went together to the sealed place of Dingkun to check. Dingkun was already gone. Hao Chen also recalled his past as King Bailin with the God of War, Chu Xuanji.

King Bailin saved and trained the God of War, Chu Xuanji, to fight for the honor and safety of the heavenly realm. The God of War had made great achievements and was highly regarded by everyone in the heavenly realm. While Hao Chen was reminiscing, Teng She appeared at the sealed place. He had guarded Dingkun for a thousand years just to find the God of War, and now Dingkun was gone in an instant.

Teng She just found an excuse to go to the mortal realm to find the God of War for a battle, but Azure Dragon appeared at the same time and forcefully took Teng She away. Before descending to the mortal realm, Hao Chen set up an illusionary divine seal on himself, so the deities of the heavenly realm and Teng She could not see his true body.

Siming was the number one fan of the romance between King Bailin and the God of War, and wrote about their emotional story in "Records of the Heavenly Realm's Grievances." King Bailin adamantly denied his feelings for the God of War. Before this, Azure Dragon had reported to King Bailin that the God of War had failed in her previous nine descents to the mortal realm for trials.

If she failed a tenth time, she would fall into the demon path forever. King Bailin could not bear to see the God of War fall and did not want the three realms to face another great tribulation, so he forcibly transformed into a human body and went to the mortal realm to guide the God of War to shed her hostility and become immortal.

King Bailin's forced descent to the mortal realm would cause the pain of having flesh and bones gouged out and render him unable to cast spells. For the safety of the three realms, King Bailin forcibly descended to the mortal realm, was severely injured, and became Hengyang's disciple. In Shao Yang, he met the reincarnated God of War, who was Chu Xuanji.

King Bailin was determined to go against fate and lead the God of War back to the heavenly realm, no matter what variables he encountered. Chu Linglong had been tormented by Wu Tong to the point of being unrecognizable, but Chu Linglong still refused to yield to Wu Tong. Wu Tong treated Chu Linglong even more perversely.

Azure Dragon forcefully brought Teng She back to the heavenly realm and saw Siming writing a novel beside him, so he snatched it away. The first chapter of the book was about the romantic affairs of Teng She and Azure Dragon. Facing the questioning from Teng She and Azure Dragon, Siming could only force an explanation to cover it up. Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji went together to Fuyu Island to explain the current situation of Xuanyuan Sect.

They saw the island master of Fuyu Island inexplicably driving many disciples off the island. Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji followed the Fuyu Island disciples Pian Pian and Yu Ning onto the island to meet the island master. Chu Xuanji reported her recent situation to Hao Chen, mentioning Yu Sifeng multiple times, which puzzled Hao Chen. Chu Xuanji did not forget to inform him that the Heavenly Ruins Hall was growing stronger and had massacred Xuanyuan Sect.

Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng revealed the Heavenly Secret Orb and further explained that the Heavenly Ruins Hall wanted to resurrect the Star of Mosha to overturn the three realms. Dongfang Qingqi and his elders felt that the Heavenly Ruins Hall was absolutely incapable of overthrowing them. To prevent the Heavenly Ruins Hall from launching a sneak attack, Dongfang Qingqi planned to activate the sword formation to protect the island.

However, with his wife's birthday approaching, Dongfang Qingqi somehow became erratic and irritable, forcefully keeping Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng, only to suddenly return to normal. Yu Sifeng also felt that Dongfang Qingqi was strange and intentionally inquired that Madam was from Zi Tong Mountain. Yu Sifeng initially concluded that Dongfang Qingqi was中了蛊 (under a hex). Dongfang Qingqi properly sealed the Heavenly Secret Orb, then hosted a banquet for Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng used Lize Palace's secret wine to confirm that Dongfang was indeed under a hexhex, and Madam Qingrong also behaved strangely.

Episode 17 Recap

Qingrong blatantly ridiculed the massacre of the Xuanyuan Sect in front of Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng, and Dongfang's deep intention to protect his wife was evident. Qingrong invited Yu Sifeng to meet with her, flaunting her beauty and displaying her fragrance, but Yu Sifeng discerned that it was the Turtle and Snake Incense of the Zi Tong Mountain cult. Qingrong defended herself, saying she didn't know, and repeatedly tempted Yu Sifeng.

Seeing Dongfang about to enter the room, she shouted that Yu Sifeng was trying to assault her, enraging Dongfang again, who injured Yu Sifeng with his sword. Yu Sifeng calmly responded and explained the reason, but Dongfang found it difficult to distinguish the truth. Qingrong feigned anger, and Dongfang had no choice but to chase after his wife and leave.

Chu Xuanji applied medicine for Yu Sifeng, and Yu Sifeng explained that no matter how beautiful other women were, they meant nothing to him. Chu Xuanji didn't understand the meaning behind Yu Sifeng's words and thought it was because disciples of Lize Palace couldn't marry. Yu Sifeng further explained that he no longer needed to wear any mask of Lize Palace, and he could marry even if it violated the rules of Lize Palace.

Chu Xuanji wanted to take the abandoned Yu Sifeng back to Shao Yang, but Yu Sifeng continued to ask in what capacity he would go. Chu Xuanji, being ignorant of matters of the heart, didn't give Yu Sifeng the answer he wanted. Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng had to stay on Fuyu Island for a few more days to resolve the island master's troubles before going to find Chu Linglong and Xiao Liu Zi.

As for Shao Yang and Fuyu being quite close, Chu Xuanji had heard about the island master's wife when she was young. Years ago, the island master went to suppress evil and rescued the only surviving woman in a cave, bringing her back to Fuyu Island, where she became Madam Dongfang. Yu Sifeng speculated that Qingrong was also a demon, because a weak woman couldn't have survived at the hands of demons.

The poison that Dongfang had been hexed with must have been planted on the night of the full moon, and on the next full moon, Dongfang would lose his mind and be controlled by the demon. Dongfang seemed willing to drink the poisoned wine. Madam Qingrong had always been mysterious in the island master's heart.

The island master didn't even know that she could play the zither, but he fell in love with her at first sight and was even willing to give up cultivating immortality to be with her. Dongfang had known for a long time that Qingrong would poison him. Without waiting for Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng to remind him, Dongfang questioned Qingrong about everything she had done. It turned out that Qingrong was the Holy Maiden of the cult leader.

Years ago, Dongfang led the righteous sects to wipe out the Zi Tong Mountain cult, and Qingrong had always held a grudge. However, Dongfang was so infatuated with Qingrong that he not only let her go but also indulged in her tenderness. With this conspiracy exposed, Dongfang originally wanted to let Qingrong leave, but Qingrong changed her tough attitude and tried to gain Dongfang's sympathy by attempting suicide. With a few words, she subdued Dongfang.

Dongfang even personally explained Qingrong's behavior to Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng, looking immersed in happiness because Qingrong was pregnant. Chu Xuanji couldn't understand the matters between Dongfang and Qingrong at all, but Yu Sifeng saw through it. Regardless of whether a person is good or bad, there will be people who like or hate them.

Even if one is hurt by a loved one, it is not pitiable because as long as one is willing, one will find it sweet. Chu Xuanji always felt that the word "love" was too troublesome; she simply didn't understand it. Qingrong had been having an affair with the Fuyu Island butler and even wanted to use the Marrow Extraction Gu to control Dongfang. The child she was carrying was also the butler's.

Yu Sifeng put aside his worries and invited Chu Xuanji to enjoy the moonlight and taste fine wine. He secretly stole Dongfang Island Master's private collection of Hundred Flowers Dew Wine and carved words on the wine bottle to express his feelings. Just as Yu Sifeng was taking Chu Xuanji to the beach to drink, Yu Ning and Pian Pian, oblivious to the situation, took the initiative to join. Yu Sifeng had no choice but to join them.

Yu Sifeng cleverly suggested playing a game, but he won every time, drinking all the wine himself, leaving only one mouthful. He deliberately played the last round of the game with Chu Xuanji, letting Chu Xuanji win and drink the last mouthful of wine, so she could see the words of confession at the bottom of the bottle. Unfortunately, Yu Ning and Pian Pian, being greedy, wanted to beg for the last mouthful of wine and snatched the wine jar.

Although they saw Yu Sifeng's confession and ultimately passed it on to Chu Xuanji, Chu Xuanji still unintentionally missed it. Yu Sifeng had no choice but to take advantage of his drunkenness to grab Chu Xuanji, say his confession directly. But Chu Xuanji couldn't understand and even thought that Yu Sifeng, whose heartbeat was abnormal, was sick, intending to take Yu Sifeng to see a doctor.

Yu Sifeng could no longer suppress his emotions, pulled Chu Xuanji, and they both fell into a sea of flowers. When their eyes met, Yu Sifeng bluntly said that Chu Xuanji had taken off his mask and had to take responsibility for him. Chu Xuanji readily agreed, but Yu Sifeng's kiss was ultimately ruined by the fragrance of the flowers, and the two could only playfully tease each other.

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Yu Sifeng wanted to use the Fuyu Island Marriage Stone to test their fate. According to records, if two people were destined to be together, the divine stone would show its power in front of the Marriage Stone. However, no matter how Yu Sifeng tested it, the stone didn't light up, and the drunken Yu Sifeng almost angrily smashed the stone. In the end, Chu Xuanji forcefully pulled him away.

The next day, Chu Xuanji thoughtfully fed Yu Sifeng hangover soup, but the Deputy Master of Lize Palace arrived on the island and saw Yu Sifeng's mask being taken off again. He sarcastically congratulated Yu Sifeng on having his mask taken off. With the Lover's Curse mask removed, Lize Palace would naturally no longer force Yu Sifeng to stay. The Deputy Master asked Yu Sifeng for the mask to take back as an explanation.

When the Deputy Master saw the sad face mask, he refused to let Yu Sifeng off the hook. The matter of the sad face mask was also something that Yu Sifeng had to bear and face alone. Yu Sifeng was willing to go back with the Deputy Master to explain everything clearly, but Chu Xuanji was worried that Yu Sifeng would be punished by Lize Palace again and feared that it would be difficult to see Yu Sifeng again.

She demanded a guarantee from the Deputy Master, otherwise, she wouldn't allow Yu Sifeng to leave. Even after getting a guarantee, she said that she would go to Lize Palace in a few days to personally bring Yu Sifeng back. Yu Sifeng was extremely touched to see Chu Xuanji protecting him with all her heart, looking at Chu Xuanji with affection. The Deputy Master suggested that the matter could only be resolved if Chu Xuanji married Yu Sifeng.

Chu Xuanji readily agreed, but the mask still didn't turn into a smiling face. The Deputy Master ordered to take Yu Sifeng away with a tough attitude, angering Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji not only destroyed the mask made of Kunlun tree bark but also rose into the air to confront the Deputy Master.

The Deputy Master was originally somewhat at a disadvantage, but fortunately, Hao Chen arrived on the island at this time and used the Tranquility Mantra to stop Chu Xuanji. The Deputy Master was also sarcastic towards Chu Lei. He recognized that Chu Xuanji was holding the Dingkun Divine Sword, but Chu Lei and Hao Chen naturally wouldn't admit it, shifting the topic to the Heavenly Ruins Hall and the matter of protecting the spiritual key. Even if the various sects didn't believe in the Heavenly Ruins Hall's actions, they had to be careful.

Episode 18 Recap

Chu Linglong was moved to another place of detention, but Wu Tong still didn't intend to let her go. He tempted and toyed with Chu Linglong using hometown delicacies, venting all the humiliation he suffered during the pursuit by the Five Major Sects onto her. Chu Linglong was chained to Wu Tong's bedside. She originally intended to strangle Wu Tong with the iron chain, but Wu Tong reacted in time and instead tormented Chu Linglong.

Chu Linglong couldn't kill Wu Tong and was helpless and in pain. Hao Chen forced the Dingkun life sword out of Chu Xuanji's body. This sword was one that Hao Chen, as King Bailin in the heavenly realm back then, had allowed the God of War Chu Xuanji to choose herself. Dingkun had extremely strong malevolence but could be used by the God of War Chu Xuanji.

Now, Hao Chen wanted to sever the connection between Dingkun and Chu Xuanji, but he couldn't. Any unauthorized change would also harm Chu Xuanji's fate. Siming originally wanted to dissuade Hao Chen, but Hao Chen insisted on using a spell to seal Dingkun's divine power and suppress its malevolence. However, sealing it with a mortal body caused a severe backlash.

Hao Chen had no choice but to order Siming to return to the heavenly realm and freeze the God of War's fate pillar to seal her memories. Siming, as the number one fan of the God of War and King Bailin as a couple, sincerely wished them success in their tribulation so they could return to the heavenly realm hand in hand. Teng She found Siming to inquire about the God of War's whereabouts so he could compete with her.

Siming, entrusted by King Bailin, refused to tell him. Teng She had no choice but to search for her himself. When Chu Xuanji woke up, Hao Chen blamed her for casually abandoning Shao Yang and the duty of guarding the realm and promising to marry someone else. But Chu Xuanji worried about Yu Sifeng's safety and refused to give up her promise.

Hao Chen continued to scold Chu Xuanji for seeking the Mirror of Ten Thousand Tribulations and Eight Desolations, but Chu Xuanji only wanted to become like a normal person. What was the point of a person living in this world with five senses if not to experience all feelings? Otherwise, what was the meaning of Chu Xuanji's existence in the mortal realm?

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Chu Xuanji, Hao Chen decided to forcefully take her back to Shao Yang to cultivate peacefully and guard the realm. Considering that Chu Linglong and Xiao Liu Zi hadn't been found yet, he first punished Chu Xuanji to cultivate with a calm mind on Fuyu Island.

After the matter was resolved, he would take Chu Xuanji back to Shao Yang and consider not letting her leave Shao Yang even a step, spending her entire life peacefully as the guardian of the realm for Shao Yang. The Deputy Master of Lize Palace did not immediately take Yu Sifeng back to Lize Palace. For some unknown reason, he had a change of heart and wanted to test Chu Xuanji's feelings for Yu Sifeng.

Hao Chen picked up the Lover's Curse mask. The mask was removed, but the curse was not broken. Hao Chen speculated that Yu Sifeng would relentlessly pursue Chu Xuanji because of the curse. Chu Xuanji originally wanted to avoid Hao Chen and find Yu Sifeng, but she unexpectedly encountered the Deputy Master. The Deputy Master deliberately provoked a fight with Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji drew her sword to fight but was no match for the Deputy Master.

Fortunately, Yu Sifeng arrived in time to stop the fight. It turned out that the Deputy Master merely wanted to test whether Chu Xuanji was the owner of the sword in his hand. But Yu Sifeng fought against the Deputy Master for Chu Xuanji. The Deputy Master revealed the state of the mask; although Chu Xuanji had removed Yu Sifeng's mask, it was still a sad face.

Even if Chu Xuanji were to marry Yu Sifeng, it didn't indicate that Chu Xuanji's feelings were genuine. To give the Master an explanation, the Deputy Master gave the pieces of the Lover's Curse mask to Chu Xuanji and instructed her to plant them in soil and water them with true qi. If she had someone she genuinely cared for, a heart lamp would naturally grow.

If the heart lamp that grew after two days remained bright in Yu Sifeng's hand, then her feelings were genuine. Chu Xuanji accepted candidly and was willing to plant the heart lamp for Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng asked why Chu Xuanji hadn't used Dingkun's divine power during their recent confrontation. Chu Xuanji explained that she was going to use Dingkun's power just now, but for some reason, she couldn't use Dingkun at that moment.

Hao Chen wanted Yu Sifeng to stay away from Chu Xuanji and thus made Yu Sifeng believe that Chu Xuanji had no feelings for him, explaining that Chu Xuanji's casual promise of marriage shouldn't be taken seriously. Yu Sifeng already lacked confidence in Chu Xuanji's genuine feelings, so he became even more worried about whether Chu Xuanji could grow the heart lamp.

Chu Xuanji didn't eat or drink daily, dedicating herself to cultivating the heart lamp, entirely worried about Yu Sifeng's safety. Chu Xuanji exhausted her energy to grow the heart lamp. Hao Chen originally thought Chu Xuanji had no feelings and couldn't grow the heart lamp, but he discovered that Chu Xuanji had developed emotions and successfully grew the heart lamp.

Taking advantage of Chu Xuanji's exhaustion and sleep, he destroyed the heart lamp and casually planted the Kunlun tree bark fragment in his hand to cover it up. Hao Chen believed that this emotional tribulation was the biggest obstacle for Chu Xuanji's return to the heavenly realm, and doing so was solely to make Yu Sifeng give up on Chu Xuanji. Yu Sifeng's life was also difficult; he was mocked everywhere by his fellow disciples.

Fortunately, Ruo Yu was always by Yu Sifeng's side comforting him, but Ruo Yu's mask was also broken and he would have to return to Lize Palace for punishment soon. When the topic of the heart lamp came up, Yu Sifeng became disheartened again. After waking up, Chu Xuanji happily took the grown heart lamp to find Yu Sifeng, but this heart lamp was grown from Hao Chen's Kunlun tree bark fragment.

When Yu Sifeng saw the pure and genuine heart lamp, he was incredibly moved, his eyes immediately turning red. Only if the heart lamp remained as bright as before when placed in Yu Sifeng's hand would it be a true test. Yu Sifeng took the heart lamp with full anticipation, but its light floated away into the distance and dimmed. This indicated that the person in Chu Xuanji's heart was not Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji couldn't understand this sudden change.

Hao Chen appeared at this moment to explain the situation, describing Chu Xuanji's genuine feelings as merely help and sympathy for Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng's expression was heartbreaking; his full anticipation and abundant love were wounded again. He had to bear the remaining matters himself. Facing Chu Xuanji's worry, he only replied with "don't worry." Watching Chu Xuanji's departing figure, Yu Sifeng's heart was broken and he shed tears.

The Deputy Master was unwilling to punish Yu Sifeng because no punishment could compare to the activation of the Lover's Curse and the pain of shattered expectations. Yu Sifeng adjusted his mindset; nothing could shake his heart except Chu Xuanji's own choice. Chu Xuanji cultivated the Tranquility Mantra in the forest, but her mind was full of Yu Sifeng.

She worried about Yu Sifeng being punished and feeling sad and uncomfortable, and this distraction disrupted her true qi, attracting a lightning strike. Yu Sifeng appeared in time to help Chu Xuanji avoid the lightning strike. Chu Xuanji admitted that her mind was full of Yu Sifeng, which caused her distraction and disordered true qi. Yu Sifeng pressed her on what she was thinking about.

Earlier in the wine cellar, Yu Sifeng had already expressed his feelings, but Chu Xuanji still didn't understand. Yu Sifeng kissed Chu Xuanji, and their hearts stirred and became chaotic. Yu Sifeng further confessed, giving Chu Xuanji the hairpin his parents used as a token of love.

Chu Xuanji, being ignorant of matters of the heart, directly rejected Yu Sifeng and ran back to her room, where her mind was still full of Yu Sifeng, and her body felt hot and uncomfortable. Yu Ning told Chu Xuanji that this was falling in love, but falling in love had good and bad aspects, which troubled Chu Xuanji.

Hao Chen heard Chu Xuanji's thoughts and secretly did harm again, making Chu Xuanji believe that this was unstable cultivation and getting too close to Yu Sifeng would cause qi deviation, harming herself and others.

Episode 19 Recap

Chu Xuanji believed Yu Sifeng's words, but before sleeping, Chu Xuanji still involuntarily thought of Yu Sifeng's kiss. And Yu Sifeng was still struggling with Chu Xuanji's true feelings for him. Xiao Yinhua tried to sneak into the Tianxu Hall to deliver a message for Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng told her to be careful.

Chu Xuanji woke up early and learned that her father and several other sect leaders had gone to the Xuanyuan Sect to check things out, in order to investigate matters regarding the Tianxu Hall. As for Linglong and Xiao Liu Zi, there was still no news. Yu Sifeng originally specifically looked for Chu Xuanji to talk, but Chu Xuanji remembered Hao Chen's words about keeping a distance from Yu Sifeng.

When Chu Xuanji saw Yu Sifeng, her face turned red and her heart pounded, so she avoided him. After Hao Chen sent Chu Xuanji away, he warned Yu Sifeng not to pester Chu Xuanji anymore. He said that Chu Xuanji lacked all six senses and could not give Yu Sifeng the answer he wanted. But in Yu Sifeng's eyes, Chu Xuanji was not completely heartless or unfeeling.

Hao Chen further advised Yu Sifeng that mortal love was meaningless, and that Chu Xuanji had more important things to accomplish and would not be trapped by petty emotions. Yu Sifeng still didn't believe him. Hao Chen could only provoke Yu Sifeng by saying that Chu Xuanji growing the heart lamp was not because of him. Chu Lei, Dongfang Qingqi, and the Deputy Palace Master went together to the Xuanyuan Sect.

However, they saw the Xuanyuan Sect in a desolate state. Fortunately, Zhu Shi was still alive. The other sect leaders cast spells to help Zhu Shi recover. It turned out that the people from the Tianxu Hall had locked Zhu Shi in the Treasure Pavilion that day, forcing him to reveal the location of the spirit key. Zhu Shi managed to escape a calamity because the divine weapon Full Moon Skyblade in the Treasure Pavilion protected him.

Although Zhu Shi had survived temporarily, the Xuanyuan Sect's millennium-old foundation was destroyed in an instant. Now restored to his original state, Zhu Shi wanted to reclaim his sect's spirit key. The others, considering that the Tianxu Hall coveted the spirit key, were unwilling to return it now as it would not be safe for Zhu Shi. Zhu Shi knew that the Xuanyuan Sect had no power left and could only be manipulated, so he left indignantly.

Yu Sifeng knew that Chu Xuanji was worried about Xiao Liu Zi and Linglong, so he comforted her, saying they should first resolve the current matters before discussing their feelings for each other. The two wanted to get some information about the Tianxu Hall through Zhu Shi and find some clues to locate Linglong and Xiao Liu Zi, but Zhu Shi claimed he knew very little.

Yu Sifeng heard that Yu Ning was skilled in divination, so he took Chu Xuanji to find Yu Ning for a reading. It turned out that Zhu Shi was just the steward of Fuyu Island who had transformed, specifically to trick the other sects into handing over their spirit keys. And the steward was a member of the Tianxu Hall, colluding with Qing Rong to plot for the spirit keys.

Qing Rong was blinded by love and only thought about being affectionately with the steward. Her bewitching of Dongfang Qingqi was also for the steward's sake. The steward planned to use Chu Xuanji to obtain the spirit key. The two worked together, using two approaches, to conspire for evil. Chu Xuanji took out the head flower that Xiao Liu Zi had given her to ask about.

Yu Sifeng saw the head flower and remembered that Chu Xuanji had previously mentioned her favorite color, and his heart stirred, thinking that Chu Xuanji still liked Xiao Liu Zi. The divination result also showed great danger for Xiao Liu Zi. Chu Xuanji was worried about the safety of Linglong and Xiao Liu Zi, but Yu Sifeng seemed to have misunderstood again.

Hao Chen believed that all the people from the Xuanyuan Sect had taken the Tianxu Hall's secret medicine, and even if Zhu Shi survived, he would definitely be riddled with poisons. But the current Zhu Shi was completely fine, which made Hao Chen suspicious about whether Zhu Shi was real. Xiao Liu Zi was rescued by villagers down the mountain and finally woke up after being in a coma for several days.

Yu'er was caught by Shao Yang disciples, but she was just there to inform Xiao Liu Zi where Linglong was imprisoned. After escaping from Liu Yihuan, Yu'er originally went with a group of minor demons to seek refuge with the Tianxu Hall. At the Tianxu Hall, she saw Linglong being captured, but although she wished to save Linglong, she was powerless against the Tianxu Hall.

Xiao Liu Zi was anxious to find Linglong, so he and Yu'er went ahead to scout out the situation. His fellow disciples went back to inform their master. Xiao Yinhua mixed into the Tianxu Hall and also learned about Linglong. She even found where Linglong was located, but Linglong's shackles could not be unlocked. Xiao Yinhua was anxious to find the Mirror of Ten Thousand Tribulations and Eight Desolations. Not long after, Wu Tong returned to the room.

Although Xiao Yinhua hid, Wu Tong seemed to have discovered Xiao Yinhua's tracks. Fortunately, Linglong was quick-witted and distracted Wu Tong. Xiao Yinhua wanted the Mirror of Ten Thousand Tribulations and Eight Desolations. After giving Linglong a dagger for self-defense, she temporarily left Linglong and followed Wu Tong. Wu Tong handed the Mirror of Ten Thousand Tribulations and Eight Desolations to the Hall Master of the Tianxu Hall.

The Hall Master was not satisfied that Wu Tong had destroyed the Xuanyuan Sect but failed to obtain the spirit key. Learning that Wu Tong had brought Linglong back to the Tianxu Hall, he ordered Wu Tong to cut off Linglong's arm to threaten the Five Major Sects. Linglong finally broke free and was about to escape, but Wu Tong returned and constantly tormented Linglong.

He showed her his scars and told Linglong to remember that he would always get his revenge. Hao Chen suspected that Zhu Shi had deliberately sought him out to test him and gave him a monster transformation pill to counteract the poison from the Tianxu Hall. Zhu Shi didn't reveal his true form immediately after taking Hao Chen's pill.

It turned out that the Solidifying Origin Amber given to him by the Hall Master was what saved the fake Zhu Shi from being exposed, which temporarily alleviated Hao Chen's suspicion. Wu Tong did not cut off Linglong's arm as the Hall Master requested. He used other minor demons instead. Wu Tong seemed to have developed an interest in Linglong and wanted to control and tame her.

Wu Tong became suspicious of the dagger Linglong used to cut her iron chains and was about to search for spies. Xiao Yinhua sent a message to Yu Sifeng. This way, three parties—Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng, Xiao Liu Zi and Yu'er, and Chu Lei—all began to rescue Linglong. To detect spies, Wu Tong forced newly recruited Tianxu Hall disciples to kill disciples of the righteous sects.

Unable to refuse, Xiao Yinhua had no choice but to pretend to severely injure a disciple to gain trust. However, when Xiao Liu Zi arrived, he witnessed everything and misunderstood Xiao Yinhua. Xiao Liu Zi's actions also drew Wu Tong's attention. Wu Tong relentlessly pursued Xiao Liu Zi. Fortunately, Xiao Yinhua blocked Wu Tong's attack for Xiao Liu Zi. Wu Tong was about to seize Xiao Yinhua for revenge, but luckily Yu Sifeng arrived in time, drove away Wu Tong, and rescued Xiao Yinhua.

Episode 20 Recap

Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji broke into Wu Tong's territory. Although they temporarily drove off Wu Tong, Chu Linglong's life and death were uncertain, so everyone continued to stay in the cave. Wu Tong originally intended to use demonic music to control Chu Xuanji and others, but luckily Hao Chen arrived in time to disrupt the formation. Xiao Liu Zi went alone to find Chu Linglong.

Wu Tong, however, took the unconscious Chu Linglong and took the opportunity to injure Xiao Liu Zi. Fortunately, Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji arrived in time. The second senior brother stabbed Wu Tong from behind. Yu Sifeng flashed forward to attack Wu Tong and snatched Chu Linglong back. However, Wu Tong took the opportunity during the chaos to take the second senior brother Min Jue away.

Chu Xuanji originally wanted to chase after and save Min Jue, but Wu Tong sealed the cave entrance. If it weren't for Yu Sifeng intercepting her, Chu Xuanji might have been injured as well. Hao Chen blamed Yu Sifeng for bringing Chu Xuanji into a dangerous situation without authorization, and even suspected the source of Yu Sifeng's information and his motive for saving Yu'er, a demon spirit.

Yu Sifeng was originally open and could explain generously, but Hao Chen still didn't believe him. Wu Tong took Min Jue back to another stronghold of the Tianxu Hall, with unclear intentions. Yu'er was discovered following Wu Tong. She explained that she was a demon spirit and was following Wu Tong to seek refuge with the Tianxu Hall. Unexpectedly, Wu Tong did not trust her and ordered her to be imprisoned. Everyone brought Chu Linglong back to Fuyu Island.

After diagnosis, she was found to be fine, but Xiao Liu Zi was severely injured by the Five Poisons Palm, and his condition was very dangerous. After rescuing Chu Linglong, Chu Xuanji felt relieved and fell into a deep sleep. It was thanks to Yu Sifeng supporting Chu Xuanji's head in time that she didn't hit it. Chu Xuanji's unconscious small movements disturbed Yu Sifeng's heart. Ying Hong had prepared all the medicinal herbs to detoxify Xiao Liu Zi.

However, the Yin Yang grass among them had unstable properties. If it was Yang, it could save Xiao Liu Zi, but if it was Yin, it would instantly kill Xiao Liu Zi. There was no other way except testing it on a living person. Because of the deep bond from growing up together, Chu Xuanji offered to test the medicine herself. Yu Sifeng didn't want Chu Xuanji to be in danger and, disregarding his own safety, directly drank the medicine.

Fortunately, the medicine was Yang in nature. Not only was Yu Sifeng fine, but Xiao Liu Zi's poison could also be detoxified. Chu Xuanji was ultimately more worried about Yu Sifeng and insisted on sending him back to his room to rest. However, Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji's actions were an eyesore in Hao Chen's eyes. Chu Xuanji didn't understand the reason for Yu Sifeng voluntarily testing the medicine. Yu Sifeng had deep feelings but refused to express them.

Even though the antidote wouldn't harm Yu Sifeng at all, the medicine was potent, causing Yu Sifeng much discomfort. To reassure Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng endured the discomfort and regulated his breathing alone. Xiao Liu Zi's poison was detoxified, but the toxins still remained in his body and could not be expelled. Hao Chen suggested using Fuyu Island's Cold Ice Pool to expel the toxins. Chu Xuanji was worried about Xiao Liu Zi's safety and guarded him nearby.

Hao Chen even deliberately used Ruo Yu to spread the news that Chu Xuanji was guarding Xiao Liu Zi without eating or drinking to Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng, naturally worried about Chu Xuanji, went to visit her. During Xiao Liu Zi's detoxification, he frequently recalled his past with Chu Linglong and suddenly felt a strong discomfort. Min Xing, who was guarding him, immediately notified Ying Hong.

Chu Xuanji, left there, had no choice but to jump into the pool to comfort Xiao Liu Zi. The reason Xiao Liu Zi had such a strong reaction was also due to Hao Chen's mischief. The physically weak Yu Sifeng witnessed everything in the Cold Ice Pool and even heard about Chu Xuanji marrying Xiao Liu Zi. Yu Sifeng left despondently. Hao Chen's goal of hurting Yu Sifeng was ultimately achieved.

Yu Sifeng's Lover's Curse flared up, causing him immense pain, unable to live or die. His mind was filled with memories of Chu Xuanji and himself. Yu Sifeng's Lover's Curse did not flare up because he misunderstood Chu Xuanji's affection for Xiao Liu Zi, but because he saw that Chu Xuanji treated him no differently from others. In Chu Xuanji's heart, there was no distinction between familial love, romantic love, or friendship.

What pained Yu Sifeng was that Chu Xuanji still didn't understand his feelings. Xiao Yinhua watched Yu Sifeng suffering so terribly from the Lover's Curse, heartbroken. The Lover's Curse had no cure. Xiao Yinhua blamed all of Yu Sifeng's suffering on Chu Xuanji and angrily went to find Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji sent the recovered Xiao Liu Zi back to his room. Xiao Yinhua originally intended to sneak attack Chu Xuanji from behind.

Yu Sifeng, enduring the torment of the Lover's Curse, called Xiao Yinhua back. No matter when, Yu Sifeng could not bear to harm Chu Xuanji. Even when Chu Xuanji chased after him to care for him, Yu Sifeng didn't want to show his miserable and uncomfortable side in front of her. In Yu Sifeng's emotional world, the one who is loved is not wrong. Chu Xuanji did not ask to be liked.

If Chu Xuanji couldn't give him a response and he were to go and kill her, then such a person would be even less worthy of being loved. But for Xiao Yinhua, Chu Xuanji's existence was Yu Sifeng's tribulation. As long as Chu Xuanji was there, Yu Sifeng could hardly find peace. However, if Xiao Yinhua insisted on harming Chu Xuanji again, Yu Sifeng would sever his spirit pact with Xiao Yinhua, and they would no longer have any ties.

Xiao Yinhua was single-mindedly devoted to Yu Sifeng and loyal to him, so she had no choice but to bow her head, admit her mistake, and promise never to harm Chu Xuanji again. Only then did Yu Sifeng give up the idea. However, Yu Sifeng suffered from the Lover's Curse all night before getting better. One of the three green feather marks on Yu Sifeng's arm had disappeared.

When all three disappear and transform into the scarlet feather pattern on Yu Sifeng's chest, then Yu Sifeng will die. Chu Xuanji came early in the morning with medicinal soup to find Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji, who usually didn't understand how to read expressions, also realized that Yu Sifeng was unhappy. Yu Sifeng had made up his mind to return to Lize Palace and break off contact with Chu Xuanji.

But Chu Xuanji was reluctant to let Yu Sifeng leave and was willing to give him her true heart. She also actively kissed Yu Sifeng's mouth. Chu Xuanji repeatedly teased Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng picked Chu Xuanji up and placed her on the bed, preparing to let her understand the relationship between men and women. However, Chu Xuanji still didn't understand, which made Yu Sifeng even more angry.

Just then, Yu Ning from Fuyu Island came to change the flowers in Yu Sifeng's room. Yu Sifeng sent Chu Xuanji out of the room. Chu Xuanji felt the sour taste of jealousy for the first time and complained about Yu Sifeng to the unconscious Chu Linglong. But Chu Linglong suddenly opened her eyes. Chu Xuanji noticed something was wrong with Chu Linglong.

Only after Hao Chen examined her did he discover that Chu Linglong's primordial spirit had been taken, leaving only her life force. If her primordial spirit could not be found within the limited time, Chu Linglong's life would be in danger. However, Chu Lei wouldn't let Chu Xuanji go find Wu Tong. He also found the exchange condition left by Wu Tong: one hand holding the spirit key, the other holding the primordial spirit. Facing the bond between father and daughter and the righteous path of the world, Chu Lei was deeply conflicted. To comfort Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng no longer mentioned leaving.

Episode 21 Recap

Facing Chu Linglong who had lost her primordial spirit and was unconscious, Chu Lei was filled with guilt and internal conflict. The fake Zhu Shi took the initiative to find Chu Lei and offered to use his sect's spirit key to exchange for Chu Linglong's primordial spirit. Chu Lei was unwilling to disregard the world's common people for his own selfish reasons and insisted on waiting for the consensus of all sect masters before making a decision.

The Vice Master of Lize Palace suggested using the Tianji Pearl to create a fake spirit key for the exchange. The fake Zhu Shi lied, claiming his vital energy had not recovered and he could not activate the Tianji Pearl, designating the Master of Dianjing Vally to decipher it, which Master Rong naturally agreed to.

The Vice Master of Lize Palace mocked Chu Lei for knowing the secrets of the other four sects but not revealing the secret realm of Shaoyang, showing no sincerity of gratitude. After hesitating, Chu Lei had no choice but to reveal everything, telling everyone that the secret realm sealed the heart soul of the Star of Mosha, and it concerned the safety of the three realms, which was why Shaoyang had kept it a secret.

However, as long as the four spirit keys were not lost, the secret realm would not be broken. The most urgent task now was to decipher the Tianji Pearl, which was a divine artifact made from a meteorite from outside the heavens. It could be assisted by the spiritual energy of Fuyu Island's Marriage Stone.

They also needed to find disciples with birthdays corresponding to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, to form a formation with the Master of Dianjing Vally to activate it. Chu Xuanji belonged to fire, Hao Chen belonged to wood, and with three other disciples of the remaining elements, the deciphering formation could be activated.

Chu Xuanji thought that Fuyu Island's Marriage Stone was ineffective, but Fuyu Island also had records of stories where the Marriage Stone emitted red light, though the stories were ancient and not to be taken seriously. After Master Rong activated the formation and obtained what he needed from the Marriage Stone, the Marriage Stone emitted a red light. The red light suddenly shone on Hao Chen and Chu Xuanji.

This result filled Chu Lei and others with joy and continuous blessings, and Chu Lei was also extremely satisfied in his heart. Not only did Hao Chen not want it, but Chu Xuanji was even more anxious to refuse, stating that marriage was not something to be taken lightly. Seeing that Chu Xuanji was unwilling, Hao Chen had no choice but to dispel the red light and explain his refusal in front of everyone before it was settled.

Hao Chen summoned Siming to ask about the Marriage Stone emitting red light. Although the Marriage Stone was something Siming had randomly created and thrown into the mortal realm, the red light shining on Hao Chen and Chu Xuanji was fated. Siming boldly suggested that Hao Chen and Chu Xuanji continue their relationship from a hundred years ago and conveniently guide Chu Xuanji back to the heavenly realm.

Hao Chen was instantly enraged upon hearing this, speaking only of the common people in the world, unaware that he himself was moved by Chu Xuanji. Claiming that there were not enough people on the island, the fake Zhu Shi ordered the Island Master of Fuyu Island to summon all the disciples back to guard the island. Upon the disciples' return, the Sword Web Formation would be activated.

At this moment, the Master of Dianjing Vally was activating the Tianji Pearl and placing the fake spirit key inside. Chu Xuanji took care of Chu Linglong and confided in her. Everything was ready, and Chu Xuanji was anxious to depart to rescue Chu Linglong's primordial spirit. She happened to encounter the Shaoyang senior and junior brothers teasing her and Hao Chen about their fated marriage. These words were overheard by Yu Sifeng, who turned and left.

Chu Xuanji chased after him, explaining about the Marriage Stone. Chu Xuanji would never marry Hao Chen because of the Marriage Stone, but Yu Sifeng, hurt, responded coldly. No matter how Yu Sifeng understood, Chu Xuanji was determined to explain clearly that helping with marriage was not something just anyone could do; only Yu Sifeng could. The Fuyu Island disciples were about to land on the island, but the Tianxu Hall attacked with a horde of demons.

In the critical situation, the Sword Web Formation had to be activated again. The remaining disciples who had not landed could only continue to fight the Tianxu Hall demons. The Sword Web Formation was slowly activating, but the Tianxu Hall had already landed on the island and was fighting the Fuyu disciples. The demonic beasts were also breaking through the Sword Web Formation. The Sword Web Formation was in danger and likely could not be preserved.

The Tianxu Hall continuously destroyed the Sword Web Formation eyes. Dongfang Qingqi was anxious to protect the formation eyes. Qing Rong suddenly appeared, full of deep affection. To protect her safety, Dongfang Qingqi handed her the Island Master's token and ordered Yu Ning to escort Qing Rong to the back mountain. The Tianxu Hall's attack was fierce, and Dongfang Qingqi could not hold the formation eyes either.

Yu Sifeng tried his best to mend the holes but still could not completely stop the power of the lightning and fire bombs. Fortunately, Chu Xuanji arrived in time and activated her latent God of War potential, causing the Tianxu Hall demons to self-detonate outside the formation eyes, reversing the disadvantage. The Tianxu Hall demons retreated. After Chu Xuanji's God of War power subsided, she fell from the sky. Yu Sifeng caught Chu Xuanji as she floated down.

Chu Xuanji was still wondering if Yu Sifeng was angry with her. Yu Sifeng naturally wasn't angry with Chu Xuanji; he was just worried if she was injured. When everyone arrived and praised Chu Xuanji for her功绩 (merit), there were still lingering demons on the island, and the fake Zhu Shi was nowhere to be seen. The Vice Master and Hao Chen led people to the beach to clear out the demons.

Chu Xuanji smelled a strong demonic aura near the Treasure Pavilion. Qing Rong drugged Yu Ning, who was guiding her, and then met up with the butler. She successfully used the Island Master's token to open the Treasure Pavilion and took out two spirit keys. However, Qing Rong was still somewhat clear-headed and did not hand the spirit keys to the butler before leaving Fuyu Island.

The two were preparing to escape from a weak point in the Sword Web, but fortunately, Dongfang Qingqi led people to block Qing Rong and the butler. The butler revealed his demonic form, a Earth Wolf. Qing Rong also admitted the fact that she had long ago betrayed Dongfang Qingqi. Dongfang Qingqi was stimulated and fought the Earth Wolf, but the Earth Wolf's demonic power was strong and knocked Dongfang Qingqi to the ground.

Even Chu Lei, stepping in, suffered the Earth Wolf's poisonous palm. Only with the combined efforts of Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng were they able to subdue the Earth Wolf. However, Dongfang Qingqi, blinded by love, only thought about his夫人 (wife/lady) and disregarded the spirit keys. The Earth Wolf took advantage of everyone's inattention and took both the spirit keys and Qing Rong with him.

Chu Xuanji wanted to chase after the Earth Wolf to retrieve the spirit keys, but Chu Lei forbade her from putting herself in danger. Chu Lei's meaning was to give up Chu Linglong for the sake of the world's common people. Everyone interrogated the surviving small demon, from whom they learned that the Tianxu Hall wanted to collect the four spirit keys to rescue Wu Zhiqi, the Left Emissary of the Demon Domain.

Wu Zhiqi held the Juntian Cehai, and obtaining the Juntian Cehai was the only way to break the Crystal Lamp and release the heart soul of the Star of Mosha, resurrecting the Star of Mosha and overturning the three realms. The Tianxu Hall's actions terrified the several sect masters. Only the Vice Master had an indifferent attitude. The remaining two spirit keys needed to be guarded more closely, and the true problem lay in the Shaoyang secret realm.

Although the Earth Wolf was injured, he had also injured Chu Lei and even collected Chu Lei's essence blood, which could be used to transform into Chu Lei's appearance and act.

Episode 22 Recap

Yu Sifeng, to ease Chu Xuanji's worry, specifically went to the dungeon and used the ring Xiao Yinhua obtained from the Tianxu Hall to trick the captured small demon. However, no useful information was obtained from the small demon, and the small demon was then silenced by someone in the dark. Chu Xuanji was sealed in her room by her father and Hao Chen. Having no choice, she used Ding Kun to break the seal and rushed out.

Hao Chen blamed Chu Xuanji for being selfish, as a guardian, disregarding the lives of the common people. But the common people were too distant for Chu Xuanji; she would not abandon Chu Linglong's life for the sake of the world's common people. Hao Chen became even more angry because Chu Xuanji put the cart before the horse. But Chu Xuanji did not think she was wrong.

Hao Chen worried that Chu Xuanji would turn back into the uncontrollable appearance of the God of War from a thousand years ago and wanted to forcibly take Chu Xuanji back to Shaoyang to guard the secret realm. He immediately restrained Chu Xuanji. No matter how Chu Xuanji struggled and explained, Hao Chen was relentless. Even when Yu Sifeng pleaded for Chu Xuanji, Hao Chen fought fiercely with Yu Sifeng.

Xiao Liuzi gradually recovered from the Five Poisons, but he still kept thinking about Chu Linglong. Hearing the commotion outside, he gradually became conscious. Chu Xuanji did not want to go back, and Yu Sifeng also tried his best to stop Hao Chen. Yu Sifeng, spitting up blood, still did not let go. Xiao Yinhua appeared and attacked Hao Chen with poison, only then resolving the fight between the two.

Then Ying Hong appeared and, in the capacity of an elder, demanded that Hao Chen release Chu Xuanji. Hao Chen had no choice but to comply, but he became suspicious of Xiao Yinhua's identity and kept him there. Xiao Liuzi woke up and rushed straight to Chu Linglong's room. Seeing Chu Linglong's primordial spirit-less state, he felt heartbroken. Remembering the promise he made to Chu Linglong back then made him feel even more miserable.

He clamored to go to the Tianxu Hall sub-branch to search for Chu Linglong's primordial spirit. Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji followed closely to help, but they were stopped by Chu Lei before leaving the door. Hao Chen seized Xiao Yinhua as a Tianxu Hall spy for interrogation. The Master of Dianjing Vally came forward and denied that Xiao Yinhua was his disciple named Lu Yanran.

Furthermore, Xiao Liuzi witnessed Xiao Yinhua killing immortal sect disciples within the Tianxu Hall sub-branch. All sorts of evidence indicated that Xiao Yinhua was a Tianxu Hall spy. Yu Sifeng put Xiao Yinhua away in front of everyone and explained that Xiao Yinhua was his spirit beast.

Faced with questioning, Yu Sifeng frankly stated that Xiao Yinhua did not transform by consuming human essence blood but by mistakenly eating a celestial fruit and transforming into human form, thus not being a demon. And it was he who sent Xiao Yinhua to the Tianxu Hall for secret investigation. No matter what everyone said, Yu Sifeng refused to let Xiao Yinhua become the target of public criticism.

Xiao Liuzi, due to his excessive worry for Chu Linglong, was unable to distinguish right from wrong, only trusting what he saw with his own eyes and refusing to let go of Xiao Yinhua. Even with Ruo Yu explaining beside him, he could not gain everyone's trust. The Vice Master had an indifferent attitude as if it did not concern him. Subsequently, news spread about the captured small demon being silenced.

When everyone checked, they found demonic poison on Yu Sifeng's sleeve cuff. Yu Sifeng's actions and Xiao Yinhua's identity seemed to confirm them as Tianxu Hall spies. Yu Sifeng explained calmly in every way possible. Chu Xuanji was anxious to defend Yu Sifeng, but Hao Chen continued to be aggressive and twist the facts, deepening everyone's suspicion of Yu Sifeng.

Furthermore, Xiao Liuzi, extremely agitated, shoved Chu Xuanji, causing the Tianxu Hall ring on Yu Sifeng's body to fall to the ground. Thus, Yu Sifeng was also seized as a Tianxu Hall demon. The Vice Master, acting as if he were justly sacrificing a relative, handed Yu Sifeng over to others for interrogation. Chu Xuanji wanted to step forward and defend Yu Sifeng. Hao Chen used his vital energy to hold Chu Xuanji down.

Chu Xuanji pleaded for Yu Sifeng everywhere and even found Hao Chen to explain, but Hao Chen, determined to retaliate against Yu Sifeng, did not listen to Chu Xuanji's defense at all. He only spoke of grand principles for Shaoyang and did not unseal Chu Xuanji's restrained internal energy. Chu Xuanji was disappointed that Hao Chen did not trust her and Yu Sifeng and decided to search for the demon on Fuyu Island by herself to prove Yu Sifeng's innocence.

Ruo Yu pleading for Yu Sifeng in front of everyone displeased the Vice Master. The Vice Master was determined to see Yu Sifeng in trouble and ordered Ruo Yu not to help Yu Sifeng explain. The Vice Master indeed went to great lengths to make Yu Sifeng suffer. Ruo Yu was worried about Xiao Yinhua but was intimidated by the Vice Master's coercion and could only comply.

Xiao Liuzi, guarding Chu Linglong's bedside, muttered that things were starting to go wrong. Yu Sifeng was unwilling to help him for the sake of a snake (Xiao Yinhua), so he wouldn't be able to save Chu Linglong. Chu Linglong's primordial spirit was firmly trapped by Wu Tong, and Wu Tong also wanted to find a perfect body to place Chu Linglong's primordial spirit into, so that he could keep Chu Linglong by his side forever.

As luck would have it, a canna lily was undergoing celestial tribulation. Wu Tong pretended to protect the canna lily. The canna lily, in gratitude, transformed into the appearance he desired, which was Chu Linglong's appearance. Wu Tong then seized the opportunity to take the canna lily's soul, leaving her only with her fetal light to preserve half of her primordial spirit. This retained the flower spirit's memory of meeting Wu Tong.

Afterward, he placed Chu Linglong's primordial spirit inside, but the primordial spirit and the body were incompatible, and only half entered. Chu Linglong woke up having forgotten her identity, only remembering that she was a small flower spirit. Although she retained some of Chu Linglong's personality, because of the flower spirit's memory, she also developed a liking for Wu Tong in her heart. Chu Xuanji searched everywhere for traces of the demon. Xiao Liuzi spoke to Chu Xuanji privately.

In Xiao Liuzi's heart, Yu Sifeng was naturally good, but Xiao Yinhua knew Chu Linglong's whereabouts. As long as Yu Sifeng did not release Xiao Yinhua, Chu Linglong would be in danger for one more day. The other sects had already subjected Yu Sifeng to extreme torture, but they completely ignored Yu Sifeng's explanations and the many inexplicable reasons. Especially Dongfang Qingqi, once bitten by a snake, he feared ropes for ten years.

Even with many doubts, he did not want to let Yu Sifeng go. Only Chu Lei had some mercy. Seeing that Yu Sifeng still hadn't revealed any useful information under severe torture, he wanted to defend him. But Master Rong also did not want to let him off easily and even took out the Yan Luo Nails, making Yu Sifeng endure heart-piercing and bone-chilling pain.

But even in extreme pain, Yu Sifeng was innocent, and how could he speak of things concerning the Tianxu Hall? Yu Sifeng refused to release Xiao Yinhua and further exposed the selfishness of the various immortal sects. Back then, the Five Great Sects were arrogant, harbored selfish motives, and didn't take the Tianxu Hall seriously. Now, incidents were happening repeatedly, and to give an explanation to the world, they were just looking for someone to take the blame.

Episode 23 Recap

Master Rong, whose malicious intentions were exposed, increased Yu Sifeng's punishment even further. Linglong, who became a flower demon, became lively and would try to please Wu Tong. But what Wu Tong liked was the willful, arrogant, and fierce Linglong. The submissive Linglong who let herself be manipulated was not at all what Wu Tong wanted. Wu Tong treated Linglong like a madman, and only then did Linglong realize that Wu Tong liked the feeling of abusive love.

She threw a tantrum at Wu Tong, and Wu Tong actually obediently complied. Chu Xuanji wanted to forcibly break open her sealed internal energy for Yu Sifeng's sake, but Hao Chen's power was very strong, and if Chu Xuanji forcibly broke it open, it would endanger her life. Now without internal energy, she was restricted everywhere, making it difficult for Chu Xuanji to rescue Yu Sifeng.

Xiao Liuzi, worried about Chu Xuanji and also trusting Yu Sifeng, had already received Chu Lei's permission to go to the dungeon to persuade Yu Sifeng. Xiao Liuzi asked Chu Xuanji to wait for his news. The Master of Tianxu Hall blamed Wu Tong for recklessly using the demon army to display his power, causing significant losses to the demon army.

Thus, he stripped Wu Tong of the power to mobilize the demon army and assigned the responsibility of obtaining the spirit keys to Dilang. Only by collecting the remaining two spirit keys, rescuing Wu Zhiqi, and finding Juntian Cehai could the change in the pattern of the three realms be imminent. Xiao Liuzi went to the dungeon to visit Yu Sifeng, but Yu Sifeng was already weak and powerless.

Despite this, he still defended Xiao Yinhua in front of Xiao Liuzi. Yu Sifeng asked Xiao Liuzi to find other ways to rescue Linglong. However, Xiao Liuzi mentioned Chu Xuanji in front of Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji was trying her best for Yu Sifeng without regard for her own life. Knowing Chu Xuanji's character, she might rush into the dungeon to save Yu Sifeng and make a big mistake at any time.

To avoid implicating Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng asked Xiao Liuzi to tell Chu Xuanji that he was fine in the dungeon and, as a person from Lize Palace, was only being questioned. If the sect masters didn't get an answer, they would release him. He asked Chu Xuanji to take good care of herself and not worry about him. How could Chu Xuanji give up on Yu Sifeng?

Even though Xiao Liuzi conveyed Yu Sifeng's words, when Chu Xuanji saw Yu Sifeng's bloodstains on Xiao Liuzi's sleeve, she still couldn't bear it and drew her sword, preparing to break into the dungeon. However, Hao Chen stopped her, using many grand principles to lecture Chu Xuanji and even trying to solidify Yu Sifeng's identity through his words. If it were as Hao Chen said, then where in this world would there be true feelings?

But Chu Xuanji would rather not have the rationality that abandoned feelings. The Yu Sifeng that Chu Xuanji knew was not a demon at all. Hao Chen was angry at Chu Xuanji's complete trust in Yu Sifeng, and he tortured Yu Sifeng in the dungeon to vent his anger, also questioning Yu Sifeng's purpose in getting close to Chu Xuanji.

Making friends is fate, based on the heart, whether living and dying together, or as plain as water, or deep affection. How could Yu Sifeng have any purpose? But Hao Chen stubbornly believed that Yu Sifeng was tempting Chu Xuanji to develop infatuation. However, Chu Xuanji, as a person, yearned to experience the same feelings as ordinary people, and she had the right to decide her own life.

Yu Sifeng's words reminded Hao Chen of the God of War from a thousand years ago. The God of War also yearned to know where she came from and what the lives of her family were like, just like Chu Xuanji. Hao Chen couldn't control his emotions and injured Yu Sifeng, even having a murderous intent towards him. Chu Xuanji went to argue with Chu Lei, but Chu Lei also spoke with grand principles.

For something ethereal that might not exist in the future, they were abandoning the innocent Yu Sifeng without distinguishing right from wrong. Furthermore, between the life and death of everyone in the world and Yu Sifeng, which was more important? The four major sects had already reached a consensus. Chu Xuanji frankly stated that the immortal cultivation sects had now lost all benevolence and righteousness, and the immortal path no longer existed.

Chu Lei, enraged, slapped her, but she still refused to admit fault. At this time, Dianjing Vally captured Qingrong. Unexpectedly, Qingrong still identified Yu Sifeng as a demon from Tianxu Hall and fabricated lies to frame Yu Sifeng within her scope. Qingrong just wanted to avenge the harm Dongfang Qingqi had done to her disciples, and the fact that Dilang abandoned her as soon as he got the spirit key deeply stimulated her. Qingrong had now become abnormally deranged.

Even though Yu Sifeng snatched the demonic poison from Qingrong's hand and saved everyone, these so-called righteous sects still did not trust Yu Sifeng and wanted to severely torture him. Xiao Liuzi felt sorry for his brother and wanted to defend Yu Sifeng, but everyone was stubbornly misguided and Hao Chen was instigating. Yu Sifeng didn't want Xiao Liuzi to be implicated by himself and stopped Xiao Liuzi's words.

Flower demon Linglong, relying on Wu Tong's power, was swaggering around the Tianxu Hall sub-branch. The captured immortal sect disciples and Ruo Yu were all puzzled as to why Linglong had become like this. Only flower demon Linglong herself was unaware of the situation. The next target of Tianxu Hall was either Lize Palace or Dianjing Vally.

The sect masters concluded that Yu Sifeng was a demon from Tianxu Hall and decided to use torture to forcibly pry information about Tianxu Hall from Yu Sifeng's mouth. Master Rong revealed the Dianjing Vally artifact, the demon-beating whip. However, only someone who had cultivated the top-tier pure Yang cultivation method, Yangjue Gong, was most suitable to activate the demon-beating whip, and Hao Chen was the most suitable person to cultivate Yangjue Gong.

Chu Xuanji's love for Yu Sifeng had already penetrated deep into her bones, although Chu Xuanji herself didn't know it. But ever since Yu Sifeng was captured, Chu Xuanji's heart had been exceptionally uncomfortable, something she had never experienced before. Chu Xuanji heard from Ruo Yu that the next day, Hao Chen would use the Dianjing Vally artifact, the demon-beating whip, to whip Yu Sifeng in front of everyone. Chu Xuanji could no longer wait quietly.

She, along with Ruo Yu and Xiao Liuzi, forced their way into the dungeon, breaking through the guards to reach Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji believed Yu Sifeng from beginning to end. Yu Sifeng was not a demon from Tianxu Hall, and Xiao Yinhua went to Tianxu Hall to search for the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations and Eight Desolations. Yu Sifeng had promised Chu Xuanji to help her regain her six senses and become a normal person.

Yu Sifeng couldn't mention this promise in front of everyone, firstly because people wouldn't believe it, and secondly because he didn't want Chu Xuanji to become an oddity in everyone's eyes and a topic of gossip. Yu Sifeng always thought for Chu Xuanji. He did things not based on whether they were worth it, but only on whether he was willing. Chu Xuanji was moved by Yu Sifeng and took him to escape the island, but they were still stopped.

Facing her father and Hao Chen, Chu Xuanji threatened with her life to save Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng was already content that Chu Xuanji could do so much for him, but he also didn't want Chu Xuanji to incur public anger for his sake. Yu Sifeng voluntarily accepted the demon-beating whip.

Episode 24 Recap

The whipping ceremony arrived as scheduled. Yu Sifeng endured the extreme punishment but still did not yield, and was displayed before everyone. Hao Chen spoke grandly about doing so for the sake of the world, and also used the excuse that people of the immortal sects always relied on reason to convince others and would not kill the innocent without concrete evidence. To prove that Yu Sifeng was a demon, he used the demon-beating whip to inflict punishment upon him.

Yu Sifeng only had to survive three whips without revealing his true form to prove his innocence, otherwise, he would be executed on the spot. Hao Chen whipped him with a twisted face, his sanctimonious appearance disgusting. Chu Xuanji appeared to intercept Hao Chen's execution but still could not stop it. Yu Sifeng took the first whip, spat blood, and fell to the ground, his miserable state heartbreaking.

Chu Xuanji was tightly restrained and could not move, so she naturally could not save Yu Sifeng. But Yu Sifeng still struggled to get up, refusing to admit his identity as a demon. Hao Chen, losing his mind, continued to strike the second whip. Yu Sifeng had taken two whips and had not revealed his so-called true form. The kind-hearted members of the Shaoyang Sect spoke up to stop him, but the other callous ones wanted to continue the execution.

Even if Yu Sifeng was not a demon, he colluded with demons and still had to be punished. Hao Chen held the demon-beating whip and used all his true energy, preparing to strike Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji thought of how Yu Sifeng had endured all the torture but refused to reveal the secret between them, and how Yu Sifeng was always wholeheartedly thinking of her.

Chu Xuanji could no longer bear it, and the potential of the God of War within her was once again activated. First, Dingkun flew out of her body, restraining the demon-beating whip. Hao Chen still tried to exert force, but Chu Xuanji used all her strength to break the seal, and the power of Dingkun also strengthened, sending Hao Chen flying. The demon-beating whip was naturally shattered. Hao Chen was angry at everyone's doubts about Chu Xuanji's actions.

The Deputy Master silently recited Chu Xuanji's true identity. Each person present had their own thoughts. Chu Xuanji tightly held Yu Sifeng's hand, feeling that life had no meaning without Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji collapsed in front of Yu Sifeng, completely exhausted. Yu Sifeng regretted that he was too severely injured to hold Chu Xuanji. Even like this, Master Rong still wanted to continue torturing Yu Sifeng with the Yanluo Spike.

The Master of Lize Palace arrived, repelled Master Rong, and unlocked Yu Sifeng's shackles, shocking everyone. Dongfang Qingqi still wanted to blame Yu Sifeng, but thankfully, before coming to the island, the Master of Lize Palace had captured the little demon who poisoned and silenced witnesses, and also brought the so-called murdered immortal sect disciple.

This disciple had not been killed by Xiao Yinhua at all; he had merely been afflicted by a secret technique of Lize Palace, where a vital acupuncture point was pricked, causing him to fake death. It was hateful that these so-called immortal sect elders disregarded right and wrong and wanted Yu Sifeng's life without any evidence.

The Master of Lize Palace, eager to protect his disciple, did not want any insincere apologies and insisted on finding the person who falsely accused Yu Sifeng of being a demon. Faced with the Palace Master's powerful aura, no one dared to shield Qingrong, only Dongfang Qingqi still wanted to protect his wife.

Qingrong was in a trance and speaking nonsense, but when the Palace Master used the Yanluo Spike to question her, she still revealed that the location of Tianxu Hall was at Buzhou Mountain. The Palace Master, having gotten his answer, mocked everyone and left. Only Dongfang Qingqi remained, thinking he was deeply in love and protecting Qingrong, but sadly, Qingrong did not love Dongfang at all and only wanted to find Dilang.

Crazy and foolish for love, Dongfang Qingqi and Qingrong were actually the same kind of people. And Qingrong, for the sake of love, ultimately took her own life. After admonishing the other sects, the Palace Master came to settle scores with the Deputy Master. The Deputy Master had been present for days but allowed others to harm and torment Yu Sifeng, and Yu Sifeng's true identity was indeed suspicious.

However, no matter how the demon-beating whip tortured him, it only harmed Yu Sifeng's body and would not make him reveal his demon form. The Palace Master left a warning and temporarily dropped the matter. Xiao Liuzi visited Yu Sifeng and apologized to him. He also specifically told Yu Sifeng that in Chu Xuanji's heart, Yu Sifeng was always different from others.

According to his understanding of Chu Xuanji, she had never defied her father or senior brother for anyone before and was even prepared to become enemies with everyone. After hearing Xiao Liuzi's words, Yu Sifeng remembered everything Chu Xuanji had done for him and felt guilty for dwelling on minor details and ignoring Chu Xuanji's true feelings. Chu Xuanji's body suffered slight injuries. Hao Chen visited her and lectured her not to be impulsive for the sake of sentiment anymore.

He also gave Chu Xuanji a spirit bead to nourish her injuries and protect her body. Siming came down to inform Hao Chen because the Queen Mother was holding a grand banquet at the Jade Pond. Because Chu Xuanji had developed feelings of love, Hao Chen could not stand by and watch Chu Xuanji fall into the demonic path due to the negative energy born from love. He insisted on personally severing Chu Xuanji's ill-fated relationship.

Hao Chen did not want to return to the heavenly realm just like that, but the God of War's temperament was just as stubborn a thousand years ago, obstinate for the sake of loyalty and friendship, even damaging her destiny pillar. It was because her destiny pillar was severely damaged that she would suffer declining luck and commit great mistakes.

Thinking of this, Hao Chen prepared to change his approach and use the excuse of cultivating the Sentient Love Art to suppress the secret realm to dual cultivate with Chu Xuanji through love, even though he had clearly fallen in love with Chu Xuanji in his heart but insisted on finding an excuse.

Hao Chen informed Chu Lei in advance that he would cultivate the Sentient Love Art with Chu Xuanji and that the feelings he had developed for Chu Xuanji were just right for them to become immortal partners. Chu Lei was naturally pleased with such a son-in-law and readily agreed. Hao Chen took the opportunity to suggest inviting his master from Xuyang Peak to propose and finalize the marriage. Chu Xuanji visited the heavily injured Yu Sifeng.

Yu Sifeng teased Chu Xuanji about saying he was a broken vase. This was something Chu Xuanji had said in a moment of desperation in front of Xiao Liuzi; it was just a metaphor, and in Chu Xuanji's heart, Yu Sifeng was naturally much more important than a vase. Seeing that she couldn't explain it clearly, Chu Xuanji asked Yu Sifeng to teach her how to speak.

Yu Sifeng pulled Chu Xuanji closer and wanted to teach her to slowly fall in love with him. Chu Xuanji learned whatever Yu Sifeng taught. The first step was to put Yu Sifeng in her heart, not just on a notebook, because Chu Xuanji had recorded too many important people in her little notebook, and Yu Sifeng was unwilling to share. He only wanted to occupy the most important place in Chu Xuanji's heart.

Chu Lei visited Chu Linglong and displayed paternal love in front of the dazed Linglong. The Constellation Elder of Tianxu Hall issued the Hall Master's command, ordering Wu Tong to find Brother Liu, the person with the Celestial Eye. Flower demon Linglong treated the immortal sect disciples as playthings. The immortal sect disciples pointed out that Linglong was even more pathetic for not remembering her past.

When Wu Tong returned, Linglong happened to inform him that Brother Liu's daughter, Yu'er, was imprisoned here. The secret of the secret realm was discovered by Tianxu Hall, and the closer the alignment of the twin stars, the weaker the Shaoyang Sect's secret realm barrier became.

Hengyang prepared to sacrifice himself to activate the highest level cultivation method, the Barrier Guarding Formation, which conveniently allowed Chu Xuanji and Hao Chen to jointly cultivate the Great Dao Sentient Love Art and inherit the Barrier Guarding Formation. Hao Chen took the opportunity to ask Hengyang to help him propose marriage. Meanwhile, Yu Sifeng's love class began.

In summary, except for Yu Sifeng, no other men should play with Chu Xuanji, accompany her to eat delicious food, or hug her. If such a man appeared, he should be driven away. The next question was for Chu Xuanji to choose between Yu Sifeng and her father. Chu Xuanji subconsciously blurted out "drive him away." But Chu Lei was upright, and Yu Sifeng did not want Chu Xuanji to fall out with her father because of him.

Chu Xuanji could find him privately. Xiao Yinhua had been eavesdropping and was summoned by Yu Sifeng. He forcefully made Xiao Yinhua thank Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji was cheerful and kind and wanted to become friends with Xiao Yinhua. The atmosphere at this moment was so warm.

Episode 25 Recap

Xiao Yinhua was forced to thank him and left in a huff. He unexpectedly ran into Ruo Yu. Xiao Yinhua gave Ruo Yu the rice cakes Chu Xuanji had given him as a token of gratitude. The rice cakes reminded Ruo Yu of his younger sister. After entering Lize Palace, he saw the Deputy Master hurting his sister and used that to make Ruo Yu obey. Ruo Yu had been worried about his sister's safety all these years.

Chu Linglong's body was getting worse and worse. Her Tai Guang (vital energy) was weak and she couldn't control her body. Chu Linglong couldn't eat anything. Chu Xuanji and Xiao Liuzi were very worried. Just then, Yu Sifeng appeared. The three of them remembered Buzhou Mountain, which Qingrong had mentioned, and decided to go find Buzhou Mountain together. Chu Lei disagreed with his daughter going.

Seeing Chu Linglong like this every day, Chu Lei was also heartbroken, but as someone from an immortal sect, he had to prioritize the three realms. Chu Lei felt helpless in his heart. Chu Lei speaking like this made the Master of Lize Palace protective of his disciple. So Chu Lei and the Master of Lize Palace, one after another, used the excuse of lecturing their respective disciples/daughters to mock each other's sects.

The Master of Lize Palace also forcefully took Yu Sifeng away, not letting him act with the Shaoyang Sect's 'straw bags'. Hao Chen arrived with Hengyang to propose marriage. Chu Lei then took Chu Xuanji back to the room. Everyone subtly changed the subject and asked Chu Xuanji if she was willing to accompany Hao Chen to guard the secret realm. Chu Xuanji, being naive and not knowing their true intention, naturally agreed.

When Hao Chen proposed to marry Chu Xuanji, Chu Xuanji was completely unwilling. Guarding the secret realm was fine, but marrying Hao Chen was not. Learning cultivation could be taught by the smart Yu Sifeng. No matter what Chu Lei said, Chu Xuanji refused. Chu Lei had no choice but to lock Chu Xuanji up and arrange for people to guard her. Yu Sifeng was also taken back by the Master of Lize Palace to be lectured.

The Palace Master thought that although Chu Xuanji defended Yu Sifeng for a moment, would she still protect him if she knew his true identity? But Yu Sifeng's feelings for Chu Xuanji were equally firm; he would not give up his emotions just because others analyzed the pros and cons in a few words. The Palace Master was also helpless with Yu Sifeng, so he could only give up on disciplining him and let him 'self-destruct', then left haughtily.

Chu Xuanji begged the senior brother guarding her to let her go out but was ruthlessly refused. She was distressed in her room, unable to go out. Yu Sifeng arranged for Xiao Yinhua to secretly pass a method for escaping and going to Buzhou Mountain to Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji naturally followed Yu Sifeng's idea. Yu'er was deceived by the flower demon Chu Linglong and lured Brother Liu to Tianxu Hall.

The Hall Master also personally arrived and demanded that Brother Liu open his Celestial Eye to see if Chu Xuanji was the reincarnation of the God of War. Opening the Celestial Eye once shortens one's lifespan by ten years. Brother Liu was naturally unwilling at first, but Tianxu Hall used Xuan Yin iron chains to harm Yu'er and threaten Brother Liu. Brother Liu didn't mind suffering himself, but seeing his daughter like that was naturally unacceptable.

He could only compromise and open his Celestial Eye, confirming that Chu Xuanji was the reincarnation of the God of War. The Hall Master wanted to find a way to awaken the God of War and still had use for Brother Liu. Brother Liu couldn't see through the Hall Master's identity, but the Hall Master had a heavenly realm disciplinary mark on him, so he must be a sinner from the heavenly realm.

Brother Liu warned Wu Tong not to follow the wrong group, as he would be betrayed before achieving the goal of destroying the Five Great Sects. Wu Tong carefully considered Brother Liu's words. The Hall Master could still enter Buzhou Mountain with a disciplinary mark, so he must have a Flying Dragon Seal on him covering the mark. Xiao Liuzi acted according to the plan and found Chu Xuanji.

The two of them used the method Yu Sifeng had told them, using Puppet Charms and Sound Mimicry Charms, to successfully escape. The three-person team gathered and prepared to use the sword net loophole to escape Fu Yu Island. Ruo Yu suddenly asked to join, so the team expanded to four people. But Chu Lei and Hao Chen quickly caught up to the four, wanting to take Chu Xuanji back.

During the confrontation, Zi Hu was originally going to Fu Yu Island to find the spiritual key, but coincidentally couldn't enter due to the sword net. She happened to take the four of them away. Zi Hu learned that the spiritual key had been taken by Tianxu Hall, and Yu Sifeng and the others were going to Buzhou Mountain. The passage to rescue Wu Zhiqi happened to be in Buzhou Mountain as well.

After scouting the route and collecting all the spiritual keys, Wu Zhiqi could be rescued directly. So Zi Hu proposed to take everyone with her. But Xiao Liuzi didn't trust Zi Hu at first. Zi Hu boasted that she grew up in Buzhou Mountain and that Buzhou Mountain had disappeared from the mortal realm, having once been occupied by demons. Without her guidance, Chu Xuanji and the others wouldn't be able to find it at all.

Yu Sifeng decided to trust Zi Hu and travel with her. But Zi Hu also said that since the war between immortals and demons, the demons were expelled from Buzhou Mountain. The heavenly realm moved Fen Ru City to Buzhou Mountain and sent heavenly officials to guard it. She couldn't find the way back to Buzhou Mountain herself. Only Ting Nu, who was once a heavenly realm immortal official, would know the way.

Originally, Ting Nu was with Zi Hu, but an unknown great demon snatched Ting Nu away, and his whereabouts were lost. If Chu Xuanji and the others wanted to cooperate with Zi Hu, they would have to help her find Ting Nu. Among the few people, only Xiao Liuzi hesitated, but right now, this was the only way to find the way to Buzhou Mountain. Everyone had to cooperate with Zi Hu.

Chu Lei, Ying Hong, and Hao Chen were all worried about Chu Xuanji and Xiao Liuzi. Hao Chen, being King Bailin originally, naturally knew the entrance to Buzhou Mountain. He found an excuse to explain and prepared to go search. Chu Lei was pleased with Hao Chen and promised that once Chu Xuanji was found, he would let the two of them get married.

The Hall Master ordered Wu Tong to take Brother Liu and Yu'er outside Buzhou Mountain, saying they would be useful there. Wu Tong had other thoughts and began to negotiate terms with the Hall Master. Wu Tong sensed that the Hall Master's intention wasn't just to destroy the Five Great Sects. The Hall Master's goal was to overthrow the three realms and become the ruler of heaven and earth.

Wu Tong was willing to help him continue achieving this goal, but only if he could command the demon army and punish the Five Great Sects as he pleased. The Hall Master didn't expect a small figure like Wu Tong to negotiate terms with him and planned to teach Wu Tong a lesson. Wu Tong, holding the Flying Dragon Seal, repelled the Hall Master and even shattered his mask, revealing his true face.

The Hall Master turned out to be the same person as the Deputy Master of Lize Palace, and the Hall Master not only bore a disciplinary mark but also a Golden Red Bird mark, meaning he was Yuan Lang, the Right Emissary of the demon realm back then. Since the Hall Master was in Lize Palace, Tianxu Hall did not easily attack Lize Palace, and thus the Flying Dragon Seal of Lize Palace was easily obtained by Wu Tong.

To prevent the identity of the Tianxu Hall Master being the Deputy Master of Lize Palace from being exposed, the Hall Master was blackmailed by Wu Tong and had no choice but to cooperate with him. Wu Tong couldn't fully trust the Hall Master, so he naturally requested to temporarily keep the Flying Dragon Seal and the spiritual key. However, he promised to complete the tasks requested by the Hall Master to show his sincerity.

Chu Xuanji and the others were still searching for Ting Nu's whereabouts with Zi Hu. Initially, Chu Xuanji proactively offered Zi Hu the roasted food, but Zi Hu, being proud, refused for a moment. However, she couldn't bear the hunger and discomfort in her stomach and had to join everyone. Zi Hu's kind gestures towards Yu Sifeng made Chu Xuanji jealous. Chu Xuanji was anxious to protect Yu Sifeng and declare her claim.

Yu Sifeng was secretly happy seeing Chu Xuanji act this way. But Zi Hu had deep affection for Wu Zhiqi. Everyone thought Wu Zhiqi was a great demon, but in Zi Hu's eyes, Wu Zhiqi was the most unrestrained and carefree person in the world. The two of them also had sweet past memories.

Episode 26 Recap

Zi Hu had an unexpected encounter with Wu Zhiqi, and the two of them chased and fled each other for hundreds of years. But Wu Zhiqi liked beautiful women, which always made Zi Hu jealous. Zi Hu spent five hundred years transforming into a human form, and a beautiful one at that.

She had planned to be with Wu Zhiqi, but before Wu Zhiqi could fall in love with Zi Hu, Yuan Lang invited Wu Zhiqi to become the Left Emissary of the demon realm, following the Star of Mosha and others to fight against the heavenly realm.

During that time, Wu Zhiqi was very famous and it was said that he was about to succeed, but for some reason, the Star of Mosha was killed by the God of War, the demon and monster races suddenly declined, the demon and monster races were driven out of Buzhou Mountain, the Star of Mosha was destroyed, and Wu Zhiqi was also captured by the heavenly realm and imprisoned at the bottom of Fen Ru City under Buzhou Mountain using the Sea-Calming Iron Chains.

Wu Zhiqi did not give Zi Hu any promises, but Zi Hu loved Wu Zhiqi for a thousand years. For Zi Hu, loving someone was not about whether it was worth it, but only about whether she was willing. Chu Xuanji envied and was moved by Zi Hu's feelings. Everyone present was also touched by the love between Zi Hu and Wu Zhiqi. Chu Xuanji privately asked Yu Sifeng if even demons had such deep affection.

Yu Sifeng explained that demons were also spiritual beings of heaven and earth and could have true feelings. Zi Hu collecting the Juntian Cehai was also for love. Chu Xuanji also wanted to know who the female general in the Juntian Cehai was and what her story was, and what relationship this female general had with her. Yu Sifeng deliberately mentioned the predetermined marriage between Chu Xuanji and Hao Chen in front of her.

Yu Sifeng's jealousy was so obvious that even Chu Xuanji noticed it. Chu Xuanji pointing it out made Yu Sifeng embarrassed. Chu Xuanji said that her father would agree to her being with anyone as long as they weren't a demon, so Yu Sifeng didn't have to worry that her father would blame him, but these words made Yu Sifeng pensive.

The next day, everyone continued searching for Ting Nu, but Zi Hu's scent trail for Ting Nu was interrupted and they couldn't continue searching. Everyone remembered that Liu Yihuan's Celestial Eye might be helpful, but only if they gave Zi Hu something related to Liu Yihuan to smell, could Zi Hu find Liu Yihuan. Yu Sifeng happened to have a love manual given by Liu Yihuan.

As soon as he took it out, Chu Xuanji became curious and chased after him, asking to see it. Yu Sifeng was embarrassed and hid it. Following Zi Hu's sense of smell, they arrived at Qingyang City. As soon as Yu Sifeng entered, he was harassed by street thugs, causing everyone to snicker. Yu Sifeng used a small spell to scare them away. With Zi Hu's help, they indeed found Liu Yihuan in Qingyang City.

When Yu'er was mentioned in front of Liu Yihuan, Liu Yihuan, in an attempt to hide his unease, shifted his attention to Zi Hu. Everyone asked Liu Yihuan to open his Celestial Eye to find Ting Nu, but Liu Yihuan confessed that he had just opened it before and couldn't open it again immediately, asking everyone to stay and wait for two days. Liu Yihuan had a deal with Wu Tong.

Wu Tong threatened Liu Yihuan with Yu'er to make him take the Juntian Cehai and go find Chu Xuanji. Liu Yihuan was conflicted about whether to follow Wu Tong's instructions; he couldn't bear to abandon his daughter, nor could he harm Yu Sifeng. Considering that awakening Chu Xuanji's memories of the God of War might not be a bad thing, what should be known would be known sooner or later.

Liu Yihuan decided to accept Wu Tong's instructions, gathered everyone, and told them that he had already found out where Ting Nu was. On the other side, Hao Chen brought Ying Hong and Chu Lei to the desert next to Ara Yan. Passing through this desert would lead to the entrance of Buzhou Mountain.

Buzhou Mountain's terrain was complex and the entrance was only open at certain times, so Hao Chen and the others decided to rest first before continuing their journey. Chu Xuanji and the others followed Liu Yihuan to a suspicious place, but Yu Sifeng felt something was strange and warned everyone not to rush in. Zi Hu, eager to find Ting Nu, went straight in.

She smelled the scent of Ting Nu's spirit beast, Dangkang, there and indeed saw Dangkang asking for help. Only someone like Yu Sifeng, who had raised spirit beasts, could understand Dangkang's words. Dangkang said that Ting Nu was sealed and locked in a secret room. Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng, and Zi Hu went together to rescue Ting Nu.

On the other side, who had split up, Liu Yihuan deliberately activated a forbidden array to trap Xiao Liuzi, Xiao Yinhua, and Ruo Yu. Yu Sifeng and the others successfully found Ting Nu. At this time, Ting Nu was trapped by an array made with heart's blood. Yu Sifeng initially wanted to try and break the array, but fragments of the Juntian Cehai suddenly shone on the three of them.

Other fragments of the Juntian Cehai in Chu Xuanji's hand flew out and scattered. Finally, the Juntian Cehai was reformed. The memories of Zi Hu and Wu Zhiqi were activated, while Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji entered the Juntian Cehai. Siming in the heavenly realm saw that the God of War's destiny pillar had moved and immediately reported to Hao Chen. Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng saw the God of War again in the Juntian Cehai.

The God of War looked exactly like Chu Xuanji. Hao Chen suspected that someone had set a trap to lure Chu Xuanji into the Juntian Cehai and asked Siming to tell him Chu Xuanji's whereabouts. To prevent Chu Xuanji's memories of the God of War from awakening, he had to stop it. Siming initially wanted to escape on the grounds that heavenly realm people should not interfere with mortal realm affairs, but was helplessly trapped by Hao Chen.

Although the key memories of the God of War had been erased by Hao Chen from the destiny pillar long ago, Chu Xuanji could only see fragmented pieces. But Hao Chen did not want this life's Chu Xuanji to get out of his control again, so Siming, with a flash of inspiration, could only provide a way to find Chu Xuanji.

It turned out that mortals entering the Juntian Cehai would attract heavenly lightning, and Chu Xuanji could be found through the heavenly lightning. In the mirror image, Teng She was expressing dissatisfaction with the God of War's military achievements, but King Bailin had issued another military order for the God of War to face the Asura demon race. However, the God of War was already weary of the years of war.

Yu Sifeng watched all of this and analyzed that Chu Xuanji's past life might have been the heavenly realm's God of War general, and the God of War holding Ding Kun further corroborated that the God of War was Chu Xuanji's previous life. In the mirror image, Ting Nu appeared again, worrying about the God of War's injuries and preventing her from going, but the God of War, following King Bailin's military order, naturally chose to go to battle.

The God of War faced King Asura. The previous Star of Mosha, Demon Maleficent, was killed by the God of War, so what was there to fear in killing King Asura again? But after King Asura finished speaking, everything in front of them disappeared, only the God of War's voice echoed around Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji could feel the God of War's helplessness and pain.

Yu Sifeng guessed that the God of War's past had been sealed away by someone, which was why there were only fragmented pieces before them. Yu Sifeng feared that Chu Xuanji would fall into obsession and go into a rage, and hurriedly pulled Chu Xuanji. At this moment, what appeared in the mirror was the scene after Wu Zhiqi stole Juntian Cehai, and the God of War confronting Wu Zhiqi.

Although Wu Zhiqi was no match for the God of War, he told the God of War about a big secret hidden by King Bailin, which was left behind by King Asura before he was killed. The scene disappeared for a moment, then reappeared with the God of War breaking into the heavenly realm and demanding an explanation from King Bailin. The God of War saved the heavenly realm and also killed the heavenly realm.

King Bailin held the God of War's heart order, making the God of War unable to move, because King Bailin used the God of War as a killing weapon for the heavenly realm and did ruthless and heartless things. The God of War's heart was filled with resentment. The Heavenly Emperor sent the God of War down to the mortal realm to experience ten lives to eliminate the resentment.

Chu Xuanji was trapped in obsession and insisted on understanding all of this, so she delved deeper into the Juntian Cehai. Yu Sifeng wanted to stop her but was blocked by the mirror fragments. At this moment, the scenes of Yu Sifeng's previous life and Chu Xuanji experiencing trials flashed in the mirror.

Episode 27 Recap

Looking at the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations, Yu Sifeng entered the memories of his nine lives. In the first life, Chu Xuanji was Lan Yue, a dancer in a pleasure house, and Yu Sifeng was a musician in the pleasure house. Lan Yue disregarded the musician's deep affection and insisted on marrying into the Qiao family for revenge.

The Qiao family, relying on the power of the Emperor's uncle, harmed loyal officials, and Lan Yue's family was destroyed in this way. The night she was brought back to the Qiao family, Lan Yue killed everyone in the Qiao family and set the house on fire.

The musician deeply loved Lan Yue and was willing to take the blame for her, using his death to make Lan Yue believe in true feelings, wishing only that Lan Yue would always remember him. Lan Yue laughed at the musician's foolishness, saying how could someone who didn't believe in true feelings ever remember anyone forever? Lan Yue used blood to mark a blood mole at the corner of the musician's eye.

The musician was eventually beheaded, while Lan Yue left heartlessly. In the second life, Yu Sifeng was Prince Xin, and Chu Xuanji was Princess Jingyuan, the daughter of the deposed empress. Prince Xin deeply loved Jingyuan and did not hesitate to rebel to help Jingyuan kill her own father and ascend as Empress. Since ascending the throne, Jingyuan had been eliminating dissidents.

How could Prince Xin's position, where he could rally a hundred responses with one call, make Jingyuan feel secure? Jingyuan had long set a trap to take Prince Xin's life. Since he could not gain the trust of the person he loved, Prince Xin was willing to die, wishing only for Jingyuan to feel secure from then on. Jingyuan was truly moved by Prince Xin, but she was naturally cold-hearted and unwilling to face her feelings.

Prince Xin had said that he would give Jingyuan whatever she wanted; this time, even if it was his life, he would not regret it. Prince Xin drank the poisoned wine and died. Jingyuan again marked a blood mole at the corner of Prince Xin's eye. After this life passed, Yu Sifeng looked at the tragic endings of the two lives, unwilling to believe that the outcome of every life with Chu Xuanji was so sad.

In the third life, Chu Xuanji was a descendant of a witch, but she was blind and unable to inherit the witchcraft, and would eventually be sacrificed by fire. Yu Sifeng was a physician and was unwilling to see the witch die tragically. He was willing to exchange his own eyes for the witch's. Despite such deep affection, when the witch regained her sight, she worried about using forbidden arts secretly and being discovered by her clan.

And for the witch's life, the physician made a vow never to meet her again, leaving alone. In the fourth life, both Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng were assassins. The two fought to the death, only one could survive. Yu Sifeng ultimately couldn't bear to strike a fatal blow against Chu Xuanji, allowing Chu Xuanji to stab him to death. In this life, the assassin Chu Xuanji also left a tear mole at the corner of Yu Sifeng's eye.

In the fifth life, Yu Sifeng was a demon slayer, and Chu Xuanji was a demon. The demon slayer used all his lifelong cultivation to remove the demonic energy from the demon Chu Xuanji. In this life, Chu Xuanji was finally not a person without feelings; her eyes seemed to contain tears. The demon slayer kept his word and exhausted his lifelong cultivation in exchange for the complete removal of the demon Chu Xuanji's demonic energy.

The demon slayer entered the tribulation of the demon Chu Xuanji. All he asked was for Chu Xuanji to remember him. If she didn't remember him in this life, the demon slayer would find Chu Xuanji in every life thereafter. In the sixth life, Chu Xuanji was an embroidered uniform guard, and Yu Sifeng was a painter. The embroidered uniform guard, in pursuit of a treasure map, disregarded years of friendship and severely interrogated the painter.

Even though the painter spent his life painting the embroidered uniform guard, he still couldn't get her to look at him. In the seventh life, Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng were fellow disciples, a senior brother and a junior sister. The junior sister only cared about winning and the position of sect leader, but the senior brother never wanted to compete with his junior sister. Unilaterally loving his junior sister, he was naturally willing to give up anything for her.

In this life, Chu Xuanji's expression was even more melancholic, and she still marked a blood mole on Yu Sifeng. In the eighth life, the two were a princess of a fallen kingdom and a general. Again, Yu Sifeng died to save Chu Xuanji. The outcome of every life for the two was that Yu Sifeng died for Chu Xuanji, and Chu Xuanji ended up completely unmoved.

After Ting Nu woke up, he found that Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng were trapped in inner demons and wanted to help them break free. Xiao Liuzi, Ruo Yu, and others tried to break the restriction. Xiao Liuzi accidentally discovered that blood could break the trapped array. The several of them worked together to undo the seal and go find Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng. Meanwhile, Liu Yihuan could no longer delay the reunion of everyone and Yu Sifeng.

Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji continued to the ninth life. In this life, Yu Sifeng initially regarded the assassin Chu Xuanji as a confidante, but the assassin Chu Xuanji assassinated Yu Sifeng for freedom. If she failed, the assassin Chu Xuanji would die from poison. Yu Sifeng personally stabbed himself to death for Chu Xuanji's freedom. Before dying, he still asked Chu Xuanji not to forget him.

The blood mole in every life, the unrequited deep affection in every life, the death for love in every life, the willingness in every life - Yu Sifeng thought it was his own insistence, and there was no good outcome after nine lives of entanglement, how could the tenth life end well? Yu Sifeng was deeply pained. Chu Xuanji was only immersed in the memories of the God of War.

In the memories, the God of War wanted to avenge herself even if she fell and became a demon. Stimulated, the God of War's power began to awaken in Chu Xuanji. In the memories of the God of War, there was a golden winged bird that desperately protected her, and the awakening of the God of War summoned the armor from that time. Chu Xuanji wore the armor and held Ding Kun in front of her chest.

Everyone witnessed Chu Xuanji transforming into the God of War. The God of War's killing intent was absorbing the spiritual energy of Yu Sifeng and Zi Hu. The awakening of the God of War's power made her destiny pillar unstable, and even Siming could not seal the God of War's destiny pillar. The heavenly lightning causing the tribulation let Hao Chen know Chu Xuanji's approximate location. Now it was the confrontation between the heavenly realm and the God of War.

The heavenly realm obstructing the awakening of the God of War's power angered the God of War. The God of War Chu Xuanji absorbed everyone's spiritual energy. Liu Yihuan was conflicted about whether to break the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations to stop Chu Xuanji's awakening. Seeing that everyone's lives were in danger, for the sake of everyone's lives, Liu Yihuan opened his Celestial Eye and broke the mirror.

With Siming controlling from the heavenly realm, the God of War's power was instantly withdrawn, and everyone was out of danger. Hao Chen had not yet locked onto Chu Xuanji's exact location. Teng She was also looking for the God of War, but before he could act, he was bound back by Qinglong. With the God of War's armor returning, Teng She could not move around as he pleased.

The Hall Master (Wu Tong) and Dilang observed from the side and discovered that Liu Yihuan had deliberately disrupted the God of War's awakening, so they had to come up with another wicked plan to continue the awakening. Chu Xuanji woke up after resting and found that her six senses had been restored. She also told everyone what she saw in the mirror. Xiao Liuzi was happy that Chu Xuanji was the reincarnation of the God of War.

However, the memories of the God of War and the heavenly realm made Chu Xuanji disgusted. As the God of War, she was filled with grievances and resentment. Chu Xuanji found it difficult to calm her sad emotions, but she did not see the nine lives of trials she experienced with Yu Sifeng. Liu Yihuan explained that the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations shows the past that one cannot let go of.

Yu Sifeng could not let go of Chu Xuanji, so he saw the nine lives where he died for love. The reason Chu Xuanji did not see it was because she had no Yu Sifeng in her heart. Knowing that Yu Sifeng died for her nine times, Chu Xuanji's heart ached so much she couldn't breathe and she chased after him, wanting to find him. It was thanks to Liu Yihuan's reminder, otherwise how would Chu Xuanji have awakened and felt heartache for Yu Sifeng's constant giving?

Episode 28 Recap

Yu Sifeng was still immersed in the bad outcome of the nine lives, unable to extricate himself. Chu Xuanji anxiously found Yu Sifeng and directly embraced him, crying and not letting him leave. Chu Xuanji admitted that she didn't have her six senses before and didn't realize Yu Sifeng's giving, but now that her six senses are restored, she will be doubly good to Yu Sifeng from now on.

However, Yu Sifeng had been too deeply hurt by the nine lives and temporarily could not believe Chu Xuanji's promise. Chu Xuanji didn't remember the events of the previous nine lives, but Chu Xuanji confirmed that she liked Yu Sifeng and wanted to be with him forever and ever. Chu Xuanji eagerly took the initiative to kiss Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng was indeed easily pacified and loved her deeply.

Yu Sifeng promised not to leave and didn't care about the scenes of the past lives, saying that cherishing the current Chu Xuanji and the beautiful future was the most important. Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng mutually confirmed their feelings. Yu Sifeng carried Chu Xuanji home in a princess carry. The two could be considered to have seen the light after the clouds.

Zhong Minyan was happy for Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng, but also worried about his own lack of fate with Chu Linglong. Fortunately, Ruo Yu comforted and alleviated Zhong Minyan's worries. Ruo Yu chatted with Zhong Minyan and mentioned his sister Ruo Xue. Ruo Xue was always understanding but could not see him all the time. Ruo Yu was full of sadness when he mentioned his sister.

Xiao Yinhua was angry at Yu Sifeng for foolishly forgiving Chu Xuanji and hid in a box planning to hibernate for five hundred years. Ruo Yu, who admired Xiao Yinhua, consoled her with kind words. On the Qixi Festival, Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji met at the Magpie Bridge. Chu Xuanji exchanged a mud figurine representing the other person as a gift for the hairpin left by Yu Sifeng's mother.

The hairpin was Yu Sifeng's promise to Chu Xuanji and the couple's token of love. The two embraced on the Magpie Bridge and made wishes with the mud figurines. In the previous nine lives, Yu Sifeng always held back, only expressing his feelings before death. But in this life, he was not them, and Chu Xuanji was not the God of War. Their mutual understanding gave Yu Sifeng confidence that he could peacefully spend this life with Chu Xuanji.

However, Liu Yihuan was very worried and reminded Yu Sifeng that he was not in love with anyone else, but with the God of War, because even with his Celestial Eye, he could not see the future of the two of them and could only advise Yu Sifeng to take care of himself. Yu Sifeng was determined and deeply in love, constantly rubbing the mud figurine, his heart filled with anticipation for staying together with Chu Xuanji in this life.

Zi Hu's primordial spirit was not withdrawn from the mirror like Yu Sifeng's and Chu Xuanji's. Zi Hu was immersed in the past, and her primordial spirit would eventually dissipate in the mirror. To save Zi Hu, Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng had to enter the mirror again. At this time, the past appeared in the mirror.

Back then, the Hall Master, who was also the Vice Palace Master Yuan Lang, instigated Wu Zhiqi to attack the heavenly realm with him, following the King Asura. Zi Hu did not want Wu Zhiqi to venture into the heavenly realm with Yuan Lang. Wu Zhiqi did not listen to Zi Hu's persuasion and even spoke words that hurt Zi Hu, not only criticizing Zi Hu's appearance as ugly but also driving her away.

Zi Hu was sad and about to leave, while he still looked indifferent. Zi Hu's primordial spirit desperately pleaded with the past Zi Hu not to leave, saying that once she left, she would never see Wu Zhiqi again. But the past Zi Hu did not get a response from Wu Zhiqi and still left.

Zi Hu's primordial spirit then cried in front of Wu Zhiqi, begging him to stay, but without the concern of the little fox, Wu Zhiqi immediately followed the King Asura. Zi Hu forcibly reversed the memory with her primordial spirit. Chu Xuanji advised Zi Hu to let go of the past and return to reality to save Wu Zhiqi. Zi Hu woke up and her primordial spirit returned to her body.

Zi Hu asked Chu Xuanji to help her save Wu Zhiqi. Since Chu Xuanji promised, she would definitely do it. Wu Zhiqi had left Zi Hu for a thousand years, but Zi Hu's obsession remained. The time missed in the past must be compensated when she finds Wu Zhiqi. Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng were both willing to continue going to Buzhou Mountain with Zi Hu.

Zhong Minyan also had to compromise again, letting Ting Nu prepare well for entering Buzhou Mountain. These past few days, Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng had been radiating the sweet scent of love; their relationship was incredibly good. Ting Nu suspected that Liu Yihuan was set up by the Tianxu Hall to lure Chu Xuanji and tried to probe Liu Yihuan but got no answer.

After Liu Yihuan brushed off Ting Nu, he went out in the middle of the night to meet Yuan Lang's subordinate. Yuan Lang ordered his subordinate to punish Liu Yihuan for opening his Celestial Eye and stopping the God of War from recovering her memory, and told Liu Yihuan to kill Yu Sifeng to stimulate Chu Xuanji and awaken the God of War.

Liu Yihuan absolutely could not bring himself to kill Yu Sifeng and was captured and threatened by Yuan Lang's subordinate. Fortunately, Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng arrived in time to save him. Ting Nu also exposed Liu Yihuan's collusion with the Tianxu Hall on the spot. Yuan Lang's subordinate wanted to take Chu Xuanji back using Xuan Yin Iron. Fortunately, Zi Hu arrived in time. Speaking of bad guys, they really court death.

They specifically called Zi Hu old, provoking Zi Hu to kill him, revealing his original form of a dead fish. Liu Yihuan's identity was exposed. Liu Yihuan explained that he betrayed everyone because his daughter Yu'er was threatened. Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng, and the others all chose to forgive him. The Tianxu Hall knew that Chu Xuanji was the reincarnation of the God of War and started having evil thoughts.

However, the God of War was the mortal enemy of the Star of Mosha, so the Tianxu Hall wanting to awaken the God of War indicated that the God of War's power was also related to the resurrection of the Star of Mosha.

However, only Ting Nu among those present had seen the God of War, but Ting Nu knew very little about the God of War and could only guess that some of Chu Xuanji's memory was sealed by someone from the heavenly realm. Zi Hu, however, had a lot of opinions about the God of War. Ting Nu exposed Zi Hu was jealous of the God of War.

It turned out the rumor was that Wu Zhiqi was captured alive by the heavenly realm because he was smitten with the beauty of the God of War general, which prompted Zi Hu to argue and reveal the key person in the incident - Wu Zhiqi was framed by Yuan Lang, which led to his capture by the heavenly realm. But Zi Hu had been searching for Yuan Lang for a thousand years without finding him.

Chu Xuanji guessed whether Yuan Lang was in Buzhou Mountain. Zi Hu explained that Yuan Lang had a heavenly realm punishment mark on him and cannot enter Buzhou Mountain. Upon mentioning Buzhou Mountain, Liu Yihuan got excited and directly said that Yu'er was in Buzhou Mountain. Ting Nu told everyone how to enter Buzhou Mountain. First find the entrance, then light the birthday candle to enter. The birthday candle was made of mermaid tears, dragon scales, and three-life wood.

The materials were scarce, so Ting Nu only made five candles. Only Liu Yihuan, who was seriously injured, could not enter. Yu Sifeng promised that he would bring Yu'er out. Ting Nu also had a heavenly realm mark on him and stayed behind to hide with Liu Yihuan. When everyone returned, they would reunite with them. Ting Nu took out a bracelet that corresponded to the light of the candles.

Everyone must come out of Buzhou Mountain before the light disappears. Hao Chen tracked Chu Xuanji's mark and found fragments of the Mirror of Myriad Tribulations, but everyone was already on their way to Buzhou Mountain. Teng She wanted to read the Records of Grievances in the Three Realms to find some information about the God of War.

He threatened Siming by burning the Records of Grievances, forcing him to tell the past events between the God of War and King Bailin. Nine hundred years ago, King Bailin gave the God of War a 'good match' flower, causing the God of War to think that King Bailin would marry her.

Hao Chen, who was looking for Chu Xuanji, also regretted disregarding the God of War's feelings a thousand years ago, which was why he was suffering this love tribulation. The heavenly realm was recovering after a great war. The heavenly realm needed the power of the Southern Heavenly Immortal clan to restore stability, which was why King Bailin married the daughter of the Southern Heavenly Saint. Although King Bailin was forced, how could the God of War let it go?

Her temperament became even more peculiar from then on, only confiding in the few golden winged birds by the Heavenly Pool. Later, Wu Zhiqi stole the Juntian Cehai, and after the God of War pursued him into the demon realm and returned, killing intent entered her body, giving rise to inner demons. She killed the Southern Heavenly Saint. The Southern Heavenly Princess asked King Bailin to kill the God of War to avenge her father.

But King Bailin was reluctant to execute the God of War and tried hard to persuade the God of War on the Execution Platform. However, the God of War's inner demons were too deep, and she was finally struck down by the Heavenly Emperor into ten lives of reincarnation. Teng She did not believe what Siming said.

In his heart, the God of War was brave and skilled in combat and could not possibly be caught up in matters of romance, much less rebel against the heavenly realm because of such matters.

Episode 29 Recap

Chu Xuanji recovered her six senses and could feel the cold. At night, she and Yu Sifeng embraced tightly, warm and sweet. Everyone chose a day and prepared to enter Buzhou Mountain, while Hao Chen, along with Chu Lei, Yinghong, etc., were also searching for Chu Xuanji's whereabouts in Qingmu Town. Xiao Liuzi was contemplating late at night how to rescue Chu Linglong, when he suddenly detected something unusual outside the inn.

He went out to check and saw Chu Lei outside the inn. Chu Lei did not blame Xiao Liuzi for sneaking away to save Chu Linglong. Instead, he mentioned how he was moved by Xiao Liuzi's strong will when he first saw him as a child and entrusted him with important tasks. This scene was witnessed by Ruo Yu. Everyone set off according to the plan. After traveling a hundred li, they still hadn't found the entrance.

It was originally the day of the full moon, and when the time came, everyone saw the altar appear. Yu Sifeng originally didn't want Xiao Yinhua to follow and risk danger, but Xiao Yinhua insisted on following, so he had to turn her back into her original form and carry her with him. Zi Hu manipulated a spell and recited the incantation, successfully opening the gate to Buzhou Mountain. The birthday candle's time was limited.

Xiao Liuzi (Zhong Minyan) suggested rescuing Chu Linglong first, then finding Yu'er, and finally going to Fenru City to rescue Wu Zhiqi. However, Zi Hu's original intention was to rescue Wu Zhiqi, so she decided to act separately from the others. Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng entered according to the plan. Just at the entrance, Chu Lei and Hao Chen also arrived and tried to persuade Chu Xuanji to stay.

Having overcome difficulties and already reached Buzhou Mountain, how could Chu Xuanji and the others give up? Chu Xuanji and Xiao Liuzi (Zhong Minyan) bid farewell to Chu Lei, Hao Chen, and the others, and resolutely turned and entered Buzhou Mountain. Chu Lei, Hao Chen, and the others were shaken out of Buzhou Mountain.

They had to find ways to re-enter, but they also had to be careful to protect the birthday candle, otherwise, it would put Chu Xuanji and the others in danger. Only after everyone entered Buzhou Mountain did they realize that this place was inverted from the mortal realm and they had to walk upside down. After landing steadily, they listened to Zi Hu's analysis that the demon realm did not disappear but transformed into primal chaos, suspended over Buzhou Mountain.

Therefore, it was not surprising that the main altar of the Tianxu Hall was located here. However, no spells were allowed in Buzhou Mountain, or they would be discovered by the guardian immortals of this place. Zi Hu was about to separate from the group but unintentionally discovered that the guardian immortals had arrived. Because it was the seventh month, Fenru City imprisoned fallen immortals, spirit beasts who violated heavenly laws, and various evil beings.

On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, they would be released to bask in the light of the heavens, and today happened to be the fifteenth day of the seventh month. Zi Hu repeatedly cautioned everyone not to use spells to avoid trouble, and then went off alone to look for Wu Zhiqi. Inside Fenru City, the heat waves were scorching, filled with various dreadful screams.

Zi Hu disregarded the danger and ventured deep into Fenru City, calling out for Wu Zhiqi. Wu Zhiqi was unusually excited upon hearing someone call out. After Zi Hu saw Wu Zhiqi, she could no longer control her emotions and rushed towards Wu Zhiqi. However, Wu Zhiqi seemed not to recognize Zi Hu and directly called her "beautiful woman". To coax Zi Hu not to cry, he conjured wine cups and grapes.

But Zi Hu kept calling out "Wu Zhiqi, you stinky monkey". Wu Zhiqi was confused as to how Zi Hu knew him, but no matter what Zi Hu said, Wu Zhiqi did not recognize her. Zi Hu originally wanted to continue reminiscing about the past with Wu Zhiqi, but Yuan Lang touched Zi Hu's birthday candle at the altar, and Zi Hu was instantly pulled out. Chu Xuanji had no choice but to use a spell to save Zi Hu.

Seeing Chu Xuanji in danger, Yu Sifeng naturally intervened. Their use of spells was sensed by the immortals in this place, who revealed their original forms and tried to capture the two. These two immortals recognized that Chu Xuanji was holding Dingkun, and concluded that Chu Xuanji was the God of War. The God of War's nine lives of tribulation all began in Fenru City, and the two immortals knew the God of War very well.

However, this was the God of War's tenth life, and she should be undergoing tribulation in the mortal realm and should not be here. Even if Chu Xuanji did not admit to being the God of War, the two immortals had to enforce the rules of the heavenly realm and confront the God of War using Zhu Xie and the Exorcism Sword.

Because Chu Xuanji used the birthday candle to enter Buzhou Mountain, her power was less than one-tenth, and the two immortals were quite happy to fight the God of War. Chu Xuanji was stubborn and naturally met the challenge. Thanks to Yu Sifeng being by her side and Dingkun being powerful, Dingkun shattered Zhu Xie and the Exorcism Sword with a single strike. Afterward, Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng concealed their spells and evaded.

Fenru City was about to open its gates, so the two immortals had no choice but to leave angrily. Zi Hu was pulled out of Buzhou Mountain. Everyone thought Zi Hu's life was in danger and were very sad about it. The light on the bracelet had disappeared by half. There was not enough time, so everyone had to act quickly to rescue Chu Linglong and Yu'er.

Zi Hu was only seriously injured when she was pulled out but her life was not in danger. Zi Hu discovered that her birthday candle had been touched, and Yuan Lang appeared to meet with Zi Hu. Zi Hu only had hatred for Yuan Lang. If it weren't for Yuan Lang, how could Wu Zhiqi have been suppressed under Fenru City? And Yuan Lang kept saying he came to rescue Wu Zhiqi, but it was only for the Juntian Cehai.

Zi Hu wanted to fight Yuan Lang but her primordial spirit was taken away by him. Yuan Lang then tampered with the remaining four birthday candles, making it easy for the four people to enter but difficult to exit. Just then, Hao Chen rushed over and spotted Yuan Lang's figure. He fought with him but was knocked to the ground because of his mortal skills. Yuan Lang escaped but unexpectedly left behind a token.

Yu Sifeng wondered why Chu Xuanji wasn't curious about the crimes the God of War committed in the heavenly realm. Chu Xuanji was frank. In this life, she was just Chu Xuanji, not the God of War. The current her only wanted to rescue Chu Linglong and then stay with Yu Sifeng for a lifetime. This was comforting to Yu Sifeng. ———— Everyone discovered the flower demon Chu Linglong through a Xuanyuan sect disciple.

But the flower demon Chu Linglong didn't remember anyone and even held Xiao Liuzi (Zhong Minyan) hostage. Yu Sifeng took action and tied up Chu Linglong. As Chu Linglong struggled, she called out "Brother Wu Tong", which made everyone even more doubtful about the authenticity of the Chu Linglong in front of them.

The Xuanyuan sect disciple indirectly explained the flower demon Chu Linglong's identity, and there was also no mole on the flower demon Chu Linglong's arm like the real Chu Linglong, thus concluding that this was a fake Chu Linglong. But even a fake one was useful, they could use her to go to the Tianxu Hall.

However, Chu Linglong's primordial spirit was on the flower demon Chu Linglong, and Chu Xuanji and Xiao Liuzi (Zhong Minyan) couldn't bear to harm her. They had no choice but to find Yu'er through her. Yu'er was very happy everyone came to rescue her and swore to be obedient after getting out. Everyone learned from Yu'er that Wu Tong's bedroom contained many primordial spirits. The flower demon Chu Linglong had to lead everyone there for her own safety.

But there were too many primordial spirits to distinguish which one was Chu Linglong, so everyone had to take all the primordial spirits out. But Wu Tong brought people to surround the group who were about to leave. He smugly displayed Chu Linglong's primordial spirit and boasted about the flower demon's attachment to him. But the flower demon was not Chu Linglong. When Xiao Liuzi (Zhong Minyan) exposed Wu Tong's self-deceiving actions, he made Wu Tong angry.

Episode 30 Recap

Wu Tong choked Xiao Liuzi as a threat. Fortunately, Xiao Yinhua had been lurking within the flower demon and attacked Wu Tong at the critical moment, causing him to let go. It was a pity that Xiao Liuzi was unable to snatch the Chu Linglong's primordial spirit. Everyone's birthday candles were about to burn out, and with Wu Tong leading his people to stall for time, they were in grave danger.

Hao Chen circulated his energy and adjusted his breathing at the altar. He sensed that the Yuan Lang just now had an aura of earth evil, indicating he was not an ordinary demon, and his failure to attack Chu Xuanji suggested unclear motives. Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng, Xiao Liuzi, and Ruo Yu fought against the demons with the strength of four people, but because their power was greatly weakened, resisting was extremely difficult.

Xiao Liuzi couldn't bear to see his friends sacrifice themselves for him. He paused his resistance and offered to betray the Five Great Sects and stay at the Tianxu Hall, allowing Wu Tong to command him to gather the spirit keys. Wu Tong was ruthless and incited the flower demon to take Xiao Liuzi's heart to ascertain if his feelings were genuine. Wu Tong was repeatedly mentally warped.

At one moment, he let Xiao Liuzi go, demanding him to stay in Tianxu Hall and watch him and the flower demon Chu Linglong be affectionate. Even if Xiao Liuzi stayed, Wu Tong wouldn't easily let him off. To get Chu Linglong's primordial spirit, he must personally kill his second senior brother, Chen Minjue. Wu Tong threw out a Tianxu Hall ring, demanding Xiao Liuzi comply.

Xiao Liuzi took the ring, drew his sword, pointed it at Chen Minjue, and cut off his arm to show sincerity. Seeing Xiao Liuzi so heartless and severely injuring his fellow disciple, making it impossible for him to turn back, Wu Tong returned Chu Linglong's primordial spirit.

While Xiao Liuzi was throwing the primordial spirit towards Chu Xuanji and Wu Tong was distracted, Yu Sifeng sneak attacked Wu Tong, retrieved Xiao Yinhua, snatched back Chen Minjue, and used his full power to knock down the surrounding small demons. However, the birthday candles had burned out, yet everyone couldn't get out.

From outside, Hao Chen saw the birthday candles burn out and the aura of earth evil surrounding them, then he realized Yuan Lang's actions were meant to trap Chu Xuanji and the others in Buzhou Mountain to be annihilated. If Chu Xuanji died in Buzhou Mountain, it would be a failed tribulation. Hao Chen would never allow Chu Xuanji to lose her life in Buzhou Mountain.

Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng's power was insufficient to resist, and they couldn't get out now. Provoked by Wu Tong, Ruo Yu even offered to defect to Tianxu Hall. He accepted the Tianxu Hall ring and stabbed Yu Sifeng with a knife. Yu Sifeng was stabbed in the heart, and blood soaked his entire body and flowed incessantly. Chu Xuanji was stimulated by Yu Sifeng's injury and almost summoned the God of War.

Hao Chen cast a spell from outside, forcefully opening a tiny exit and pulling out Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng. However, Yu Sifeng, bleeding excessively, fainted in Chu Xuanji's arms. Chu Xuanji cried and shouted, but couldn't wake him up. Hao Chen, originally filled with joy to meet Chu Xuanji, saw her weeping bitterly for Yu Sifeng. Seeing Chu Xuanji crying and pleading with him to save Yu Sifeng, Hao Chen's face instantly showed dejection.

Yu Sifeng's heart meridian was pierced by a sword. If his cultivation hadn't been profound, he would have died on the spot. But Yu Sifeng was after all a mortal body; with his heart meridian damaged, how could he continue? Now Yu Sifeng's internal energy was scattered, and no one could stop it.

Upon hearing that Yu Sifeng was about to die, Xiao Yinhua pushed Chu Xuanji away and wanted to take Yu Sifeng back to Lize Palace to save his life. Chu Xuanji wanted to use the Reverse Yangjue Technique to protect Yu Sifeng's heart meridian, but the Reverse Yangjue Technique from the Heartless Technique could work using the Nine Revolutions Pill Method.

However, this method was extremely dangerous; with the slightest mistake, both the person performing the technique and the person being saved could lose their lives. Chu Xuanji disregarded the danger and forcefully tried to save Yu Sifeng. If she failed, she would die with Yu Sifeng. Hao Chen didn't want Chu Xuanji to generate negative energy because of Yu Sifeng's death, which would ruin Chu Xuanji's tenth life's tribulation.

He took the initiative to suggest using the Reverse Yangjue Technique to treat Yu Sifeng in Chu Xuanji's place. He said saving Yu Sifeng today meant he would ask Yu Sifeng to repay him in the future. Hao Chen healing Yu Sifeng despite his aura of earth evil injury truly moved Chu Xuanji. But Lize Palace's mental cultivation method was different from Shaoyang's. Hao Chen's internal energy couldn't flow smoothly throughout Yu Sifeng's body.

If Yu Sifeng couldn't accept it himself, he would still be in extreme danger. Yinghong suggested decocting medicine from a thousand-year-old cypress root and feeding it to Yu Sifeng to protect his heart meridian and allow internal energy to flow throughout his body. Yinghong, Chu Lei, another elder, and Xiao Yinhua went to find it. Chu Xuanji stayed behind to circulate internal energy for Yu Sifeng every two hours.

After everyone left, Hao Chen lectured Chu Xuanji, saying she knew very little about matters of the heart yet easily promised her future to another. Chu Xuanji didn't understand much but firmly believed that Yu Sifeng was the person she would be forever connected and inseparable from in this life. Entangled by love, wanting to live and die together, Chu Xuanji was detested by Hao Chen. But Hao Chen's feelings for Chu Xuanji turned into hatred towards Yu Sifeng.

He became even more convinced that Chu Xuanji's previous failed tribulations were all due to love, and if this life wasn't for him, it would surely end in failure again. The hundred-year-old cypress medicine didn't have an effect on Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji anxiously held Yu Sifeng, tears fell and condensed into a Fated Love Flower. Chu Xuanji used her mouth to place the Fated Love Flower into Yu Sifeng's body, and indeed, it protected Yu Sifeng's heart meridian.

Hao Chen saw this scene and was extremely enraged. The Fated Love Flower he gave Chu Xuanji to eliminate negative energy was actually used for this purpose. Even Siming advised Hao Chen to give up controlling Chu Xuanji's feelings, letting her live out this life peacefully with Yu Sifeng, eliminate her negative energy, and return to the heavenly realm. Hao Chen, overwhelmed by jealousy, insisted on killing Yu Sifeng to make Chu Xuanji stay away from this ill-fated relationship.

Chu Xuanji entrusted Chu Linglong's primordial spirit to Chu Lei. But did Xiao Liuzi obey Chu Lei's orders to harm Chen Minjue? Chu Lei didn't do it. Afterward, he helped Chu Xuanji analyze that it was Ruo Yu of Lize Palace colluding with the demon clan to harm everyone. Chu Lei thought that Chu Xuanji would surely change after receiving such a big lesson. He also took the opportunity to suggest the great marriage between Chu Xuanji and Hao Chen.

But Chu Xuanji, determined on Yu Sifeng, knelt and begged her father to approve of her and Yu Sifeng. Seeing his daughter like this, Chu Lei did not hastily agree but avoided the topic. The spiritual energy gathering too strongly at Yu Sifeng's heart meridian was instead causing harm. Xiao Yinhua wanted to take out the seal under Yu Sifeng's rib to treat him, but once the seal was unsealed, he would reveal his demon form.

Yu Sifeng forcefully suppressed the demon aura and couldn't nail the seal back in for a moment. Chu Xuanji came carrying the medicine to find Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng was about to be exposed, so he had no choice but to escape the room. Chu Xuanji thought Yu Sifeng was captured by a demon and took Chu Lei, Hao Chen, and others to search for him. Yu Sifeng was temporarily out of danger and was brought back to the room.

Hao Chen continued to use the Nine Revolutions Pill Method to treat Yu Sifeng. Hao Chen suspected Yu Sifeng and used a spell to probe Yu Sifeng's spiritual core, but unintentionally drew out demon poison. Others couldn't remove the demon poison. The demon poison affected Hao Chen's spellcasting and would cause him to have a cultivation deviation. In desperation, Xiao Yinhua appeared with Brother Liu and Ting Nu.

Chu Lei was stubborn at first and was unwilling to let Ting Nu administer treatment, but everyone persuaded him, so he had to relent. Ting Nu, with a slight effort, removed the demon poison. Hao Chen, having suffered from the aura of earth evil poison, had to go into seclusion for a few months and was sent back to Shaoyang to recuperate. Ting Nu successfully reconstructed Yu Sifeng's heart meridian, but the Dragon Crystal seal had to wait until Yu Sifeng's injury healed before it could be sealed back.

Episode 31 Recap

Yu Sifeng's Dragon Crystal seal couldn't be nailed back temporarily. Fortunately, Brother Liu arrived in time to use a spell of illusion to confuse Hao Chen, and also placed demon poison in Yu Sifeng's spiritual core. Only then did they deceive the heavens to cross the sea; otherwise, the consequences of revealing Yu Sifeng's Golden Red Bird identity would be unthinkable.

The Golden Red Bird clan was not exterminated after the great battle in the heavenly realm a thousand years ago, but unexpectedly obtained the Dragon Crystal seal, wore masks to disguise themselves as humans, and became a cultivation clan. Ting Nu questioned how Yu Sifeng could stay with Chu Xuanji without revealing his identity. Yu Sifeng was precisely worried about this.

Seeing Chu Lei's attitude, Liu Yihuan felt that revealing his identity might expose everyone in Lize Palace, so he told Yu Sifeng to keep it a secret for now. Liu Yihuan and Ting Nu told Yu Sifeng to rest well. Liu Yihuan went out to explain to Chu Lei, praising Hao Chen's contribution to dispel Chu Lei's concerns. He also instructed Chu Xuanji to visit Yu Sifeng to prevent Xiao Yinhua from causing disturbance.

Then, he spoke up to protect Ting Nu. Chu Lei, priding himself on being from a renowned orthodox sect, naturally thanked Ting Nu for saving Yu Sifeng and promised that he and the disciples of Shaoyang would not make trouble for Ting Nu without reason, but if Ting Nu were to help the demon clan to abet evil, this promise would certainly be invalid.

Observing Chu Lei's attitude, Liu Yihuan could also see that Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji's romantic path in the future was worrying. Chu Xuanji held Yu Sifeng's hand and stayed by the bedside, promising that she would definitely cultivate harder in the future to become stronger and protect Yu Sifeng and everyone she loved. Xiao Liuzi and Ruo Yu stayed in Tianxu Hall and became the lowest level people. Ruo Yu was not at all worried about Yu Sifeng's injuries.

Instead, he frankly admitted that the night before they left, he overheard Chu Lei talking to Xiao Liuzi. Chu Lei ordered Xiao Liuzi to stay in Tianxu Hall and retrieve the spirit key. Because the task was dangerous, he even allowed Xiao Liuzi to sacrifice the orthodox path and fellow disciples. It was precisely after hearing this conversation that Ruo Yu decided to stay and accompany Xiao Liuzi to reclaim the spirit key together.

Ruo Yu's actions instead moved Xiao Liuzi, and the two of them cooperated in Tianxu Hall. Yuan Lang resented Wu Tong for betraying him. Furthermore, Chu Xuanji's power was far from reaching the point of awakening the Star of Mosha. He was just waiting for the Hairpin Tournament, which happens once every four years, to begin.

If Zhan Lang could obtain the last spirit key from Dianjing Vally, he would cause trouble at the tournament to make the God of War completely awaken. Chu Xuanji watched over Yu Sifeng as he slowly woke up. Chu Xuanji's tears all flowed for Yu Sifeng. The former Chu Xuanji thought crying was fun, but now facing her lover on the brink of death, she only realized that feeling everything was not good at all, especially loving someone.

Chu Xuanji cried and asked Yu Sifeng to promise not to leave her again. Yu Sifeng naturally hugged Chu Xuanji and gently comforted her, saying he would not leave again. Chu Xuanji discovered the Dragon Crystal seal. Yu Sifeng hesitated and didn't say it. Chu Xuanji mistakenly thought it was used by Ting Nu to treat Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng was just about to continue explaining when Liu Yihuan, Ting Nu, and Chu Lei suddenly entered the room.

Chu Xuanji, who was originally hugging Yu Sifeng, quickly separated. Yu Sifeng's life was not in danger but he still needed to recuperate on the spot. Chu Lei was anxious to return to Shaoyang to deal with Chu Linglong's primordial spirit. Chu Xuanji proactively stayed to take care of Yu Sifeng. Chu Lei could no longer make decisions for his daughter and could only comply.

He only requested that Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng be mindful of propriety when interacting, and also reminded them about the Hairpin Tournament, as well as bringing Xiao Liuzi back to Shaoyang for interrogation if they couldn't tell if he was a friend or foe upon seeing him. Chu Xuanji released Yu'er, who recognized Liu Yihuan. This time, Yu'er obediently listened to her daddy's words, and the father and daughter reconciled.

Liu Yihuan told Yu'er to thank Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji. Yu'er, like her daddy, was a great assistant. She thanked Uncle Yu Sifeng and Auntie Chu Xuanji, praying every day for the two to enter the bridal chamber soon and have sons early. This made Yu Sifeng slightly embarrassed, but on the contrary, Chu Xuanji generously agreed.

To allow Yu'er to cultivate her demon core again from a demon spirit, Ting Nu suggested taking Yu'er back to the tranquil abode of the East Sea Merman clan to cultivate, where spiritual energy was abundant. Liu Yihuan was naturally willing, so he took his daughter and Ting Nu and left for the East Sea. Xiao Liuzi's situation was still unknown.

This time Chu Xuanji learned a lesson and thought that she should think twice before acting and could no longer recklessly cause Yu Sifeng injury, and that she wanted to kill all the bad demons. Yu Sifeng worriedly asked Chu Xuanji if she thought all demons were bad. Chu Xuanji was still rational about demons; she only believed that demons like Wu Tong should be killed. However, even so, it still worried Yu Sifeng greatly.

Xiao Liuzi and Ruo Yu saw Flower Demon Linglong in Tianxu Hall bouncing and playing shuttlecock, looking exactly like Chu Linglong. But Flower Demon Linglong was full of malice towards Xiao Liuzi. Even recognizing the engagement dagger on Xiao Liuzi, she was unwilling to admit it. Instead, she misunderstood that she was bewitched and ordered someone to beat Xiao Liuzi fiercely. Half of Chu Linglong's primordial spirit had returned to her main body, but she still hadn't woken up.

Chu Xuanji focused on taking care of Yu Sifeng. She carefully learned to make fish slice porridge and fed it to Yu Sifeng, which led Yu Sifeng to praise Chu Xuanji for having quite a talent for cooking. Xiao Liuzi and Ruo Yu discussed matters concerning Chu Linglong.

Because the legwork Flower Demon Linglong used for playing shuttlecock was a move from the Yaohua sword moves that Xiao Liuzi modified and taught to Chu Linglong, Xiao Liuzi was certain that the Flower Demon was related to Chu Linglong. Ruo Yu knew of a forbidden technique that could inject one person's primordial spirit into another person's body. Now the real Chu Linglong's primordial spirit might be inside Flower Demon Linglong.

For this, the two of them had to focus on lurking in Tianxu Hall to investigate thoroughly. Xiao Liuzi had fragments of the Myriad Tribulations and Eight Desolations Mirror on him and wanted to seize the opportunity to test Chu Linglong with it. Hao Chen's injuries recovered under the blessing of Hengyang. He also asked his master for the Liangyi Transformation Array to verify if Yu Sifeng was a demon.

Yu'er was sent by Liu Yihuan to the location of the East Sea Merman clan, where Ting Nu belonged, to cultivate diligently. But Yu'er disliked her daddy's nagging and drove him away. Yu Sifeng took advantage of his injury to coax Chu Xuanji to hold him tightly, then kissed Chu Xuanji's forehead with a smooch. Yu Sifeng's body was almost recovered.

When he fully recovered, he would wander near the altar to catch a few small demons for interrogation and then look for an opportunity to enter Buzhou Mountain again. Chu Xuanji agreed and also felt she wasn't strong enough and wanted to find a spirit beast to help her. Yu Sifeng noted Chu Xuanji's idea.

Chu Xuanji hung wind chimes on a tree in the forest to pray for blessings, praying for Yu Sifeng to be safe in the future, free from injury and pain. Although wind chimes could also record whispered words, Chu Xuanji had no whispered words to speak. She asked Yu Sifeng if he had any whispered words he wanted to record on the wind chimes. Yu Sifeng's secret in his heart could not be revealed to the public.

He used this opportunity to place his secret in the Lugong lock. As long as Chu Xuanji unlocked it, she would know the secret. The Lugong lock was very difficult to unlock. One day Chu Xuanji would know the truth. It was just that now Yu Sifeng was attached to the happiness of the moment and was temporarily cowardly, not daring to face it and say it. Xiao Yinhua was originally worried about the consequences of Yu Sifeng doing this.

Liu Yihuan advised her not to be fixated. Yu Sifeng's only retreat was Chu Xuanji. Xiao Liuzi used the fragments of the Myriad Tribulations and Eight Desolations Mirror in his hand to evoke a moment of memory in Flower Demon Linglong. But the Flower Demon refused to believe and instead left angrily. Di Lang grabbed the Flower Demon, demanding her to tell him how to get to Wu Tong's room.

Xiao Liuzi, to save Flower Demon Linglong, blocked a move from Di Lang for the Flower Demon. At this moment, Wu Tong arrived in time. Wu Tong extracted souls to cultivate, and his power greatly increased. In a short period, his power surpassed Di Lang and he easily beat him away. Seeing that Xiao Liuzi had merit in saving the Flower Demon, Wu Tong ordered Xiao Liuzi to follow him and do things.

Xiao Liuzi and Ruo Yu guessed that the Flower Demon contained half of Chu Linglong's primordial spirit. Currently, the real Chu Linglong had half of her primordial spirit, and her life was currently not in danger. As long as Xiao Liuzi awakened the Flower Demon, he would have a chance to find the spirit key in Wu Tong's room. Flower Demon Linglong thanked Xiao Liuzi for taking her to find Chen Minjue.

Chen Minjue had a high fever because of his severed arm. Xiao Liuzi felt even more sorry for his senior brother and promised to rescue him. He was even willing to ask Elder Hengyang to use the Meridian Regeneration Technique to replace his senior brother's arm with his own after returning to Shaoyang. Chen Minjue understood Xiao Liuzi's helplessness.

Episode 32 Recap

Wu Tong asked about the Flower Demon Linglong's recent whereabouts. Flower Demon Linglong lied to cover it up. Although Wu Tong was perverted, he was still very fond of Flower Demon Linglong. However, Wu Tong suspected whether the Flower Demon had betrayed him.

He put medicine in the food and asked Flower Demon Linglong to deliver it to Chen Minjue, and also ordered Xiao Liuzi and Ruo Yu to take a large box of things to Shaoyang and give them to Chu Lei. Yu Sifeng's injuries recovered. When he went to the altar to check the situation, he found a nearby mountain top was on fire. Villagers passing by said it was sudden heavenly fire. The villagers were busy fleeing for their lives.

Yu Sifeng intervened to extinguish the fire to prevent the people from suffering. Unexpectedly, as soon as the fire was extinguished, Teng She flew out and revealed his identity, and even complained that Yu Sifeng and others had extinguished the fire. This descent of fire was fate and could not be defied. Teng She, arrogantly, wanted to teach Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji a lesson with just a few words.

Chu Xuanji was unhappy that the heavenly fire had displaced the local people. Teng She, impatiently, suddenly struck and sent Yu Sifeng flying. Chu Xuanji thought Yu Sifeng had been killed by Teng She. She revealed Dingkun and wanted to kill Teng She. Teng She saw Chu Xuanji performing Dingkun and recognized her as the God of War. Teng She had been waiting a thousand years for this battle, so he just happened to compete with her.

Teng She and Chu Xuanji fought. Within two moves, he was repelled. Yu Sifeng suddenly appeared and tied up Teng She. It was just the right time to take Teng She as a spirit beast for Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji originally didn't want Teng She because he was difficult to tame and disobedient. But this was just a spirit beast from the heavenly realm. Having him as Chu Xuanji's own would be of great help.

Yu Sifeng used the vital blood of Chu Xuanji and Teng She to refine a Blood Soul Bead. Because Teng She was difficult to tame, using the Blood Soul Bead was better for control. When Teng She was disobedient, squeezing the bead would restrain him. Then, by calling Teng She's name once, Teng She was forced to kneel down and call Chu Xuanji his master, and also signed a blood contract with Chu Xuanji.

From then on, he was Chu Xuanji's obedient spirit beast. Teng She took advantage of the time when Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji went to rest to escape, but Yu Sifeng had previously instructed Xiao Yinhua to follow and guide Teng She. Teng She thought of himself as a god and looked down on Xiao Yinhua. Unexpectedly, he didn't get far from his master before falling from the sky. Chu Xuanji's face was dirty.

Yu Sifeng gently wiped it for her. A part of Chu Xuanji's eyebrow was burned off by the fire. Yu Sifeng also carefully helped her draw her eyebrow. The two were very sweet together. Because Teng She could not escape Chu Xuanji, he caused trouble in the street. He fought and made a scene, wanting to tear down the entire street. Teng She deliberately deceived everyone, saying that Chu Xuanji had instructed him to injure people.

Yu Sifeng had to compensate everyone with money. Teng She continued to cause trouble and even wanted to harm Chu Xuanji. However, as a spirit beast, he cannot harm his master. Insisting on causing harm would only backfire on himself. Teng She refused to believe in evil and attacked Chu Xuanji. The power he used was as weak as cotton on Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji used the Blood Soul Bead to force Teng She to apologize to the people.

Teng She was so angry he refused to eat. Chu Xuanji was also angry. Compared to Xiao Yinhua, her own spirit beast was not obedient at all. Yu Sifeng suggested that Chu Xuanji should tame Teng She like training a puppy. If he was obedient, hug and pet him; if he was disobedient, spank his backside. He also gave Chu Xuanji a Spirit Beast Training Manual. Chu Xuanji immediately applied it to Teng She. She patted Teng She's head.

Teng She proudly said that as a god, he could only be touched by the Heavenly Emperor and King Bailin. He absolutely refused to be treated as a pet and trained. However, now that the contract was formed, the blood contract could absolutely not be undone unless Chu Xuanji cut off her arm. Yu Sifeng accurately guessed Teng She's thoughts. He guessed that he had secretly come down from the heavenly realm.

Setting the mountain on fire earlier was unintentional and difficult to explain to the heavenly realm. Chu Xuanji subduing him was also for his sake. Although Teng She was extremely unwilling, he could only follow Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji introduced the spirit beast Teng She to Ting Nu and Liu Yihuan. Ting Nu, knowing Teng She's identity, was quite courteous.

Liu Yihuan was originally worried that someone from the heavenly realm would discover him because he had stolen the Heavenly Eye. Now that Teng She was Chu Xuanji's spirit beast, it was naturally the best situation. Even though Teng She threatened everyone, he was still at the lowest end of the food chain, bullied and extremely wronged. He was about to leave angrily. But the contract had been signed and he could not escape.

Xiao Yinhua, harboring ill will towards Chu Xuanji, proactively taught Teng She a way to escape from Chu Xuanji. If fighting didn't work, he could use poison. Teng She originally felt that he was a divine lord and Chu Xuanji was the God of War, and poisoning was too despicable. But he could not resist the temptation of freedom and still decided to use poison to stun Chu Xuanji and then chop off Chu Xuanji's arm to break the contract.

Teng She, full of schemes, put poison in the wine and coaxed Chu Xuanji to drink it. But Chu Xuanji drank it all without any harm. On the contrary, Teng She's features became swollen and horrifying. Teng She rushed in a panic to find Liu Yihuan for an antidote. It turned out that Teng She had not only failed to administer the poison successfully, but had been backfired by Qifeng Cuiyan, causing damage to his own appearance.

Teng She was so angry he mumbled that he was the most promising and handsome divine official in the heavenly realm. Now that he had become like this, he was complaining and didn't want to live. Yu Sifeng continued to provoke Teng She. Forming a contract with Chu Xuanji was also fate. Making such a fuss now would only make others look down on him.

However, to remove the poison, only Chu Xuanji could force out the remaining poison with her blood. Teng She was unwilling to bow down to Chu Xuanji. But Chu Xuanji was willing to use her blood to detoxify him and was even willing to set Teng She free. Although the blood contract was difficult to dissolve, Chu Xuanji was willing to let the spirit beast leave indefinitely.

Moreover, mortal life is short, so Teng She would naturally be free after returning to the heavenly realm for a period. Although Teng She had already been influenced by Chu Xuanji, he stubbornly refused to admit it. Yu Sifeng treated Chu Xuanji's wound. He also regretted subduing Teng She, which made Chu Xuanji put too much attention on Teng She. Actually, Yu Sifeng was a little jealous. Chu Xuanji also noticed and patted Yu Sifeng's head to comfort him.

But Yu Sifeng felt it was not enough and insisted on a kiss. Yu Sifeng saw that Chu Xuanji was still a little reluctant to part with Teng She. So he used the rumors about Teng She. Teng She, who was greedy for good food, was easily tempted by the delicious food Yu Sifeng made. Teng She willingly stayed to accompany the human Chu Xuanji for a few decades. Teng She eagerly snatched food and ate non-stop.

Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji's daily displays of affection were disliked by Teng She. His gossiping mouth kept saying that when Chu Xuanji was the God of War, she was infatuated with King Bailin but could not have him, so she retaliated against the heavenly realm and was banished to the mortal realm. This caused Yu Sifeng to feel jealous and uneasy. Fortunately, Chu Xuanji said that no matter who Bailin was, she only loved Yu Sifeng throughout heaven and earth.

Episode 33 Recap

Yu Sifeng used delicious food to tempt Teng She to talk about the relationship between King Bailin and the God of War, saying that it stemmed from love turning into hatred. Yu Sifeng always believed that Chu Xuanji was not that kind of person. Teng She, though not entirely convinced, stated that this was the rumor in the heavenly realm.

Teng She laughed at Yu Sifeng for worrying too much, saying that King Bailin cared about the three realms and would not snatch Chu Xuanji away. Hao Chen used a magical artifact to test Yu Sifeng's hair. The fact that the hair did not change color meant that Yu Sifeng was not a demon, which finally dispelled Hao Chen's concerns.

Hao Chen's injuries had not fully healed, but fortunately, Chu Lei helped him regulate his breathing, allowing Hao Chen to recover his energy. However, he was still worried that the demon he fought at Buzhou Mountain would harm Chu Xuanji. Remembering that there was something left behind when the demon escaped, he intended to investigate again. But Chu Lei, considering that Hao Chen's body had not fully recovered, ordered the spirit beast Hongluan to investigate.

Xiao Liuzi arrived at Shaoyang with the demons from Tianxu Hall. Chu Lei led his disciples to confront him, rebuking Xiao Liuzi for betraying his sect. Xiao Liuzi insisted on following his false master's orders and did not admit his mistake, even stating that Chu Linglong's primordial spirit was only half complete and still could not be restored.

Xiao Liuzi explained that he came to Shaoyang on the altar master's orders to deliver a gift, but he unexpectedly discovered that the box brought by Tianxu Hall contained Chen Minjue's body. Xiao Liuzi claimed to be unaware of this. Seeing is believing, Chu Lei firmly believed that Xiao Liuzi had betrayed his sect and harmed his fellow disciples, so he wanted to cleanse the sect.

Although Xiao Liuzi repeatedly explained that he did not kill his fellow disciple, Chu Lei could not believe him. Seeing that Xiao Liuzi was willing to die at his master's hands, Ruo Yu used a teleportation talisman to take Xiao Liuzi away. However, Xiao Liuzi felt deeply guilty for Chen Minjue's death, realizing that he had unknowingly become Wu Tong's accomplice.

Ruo Yu advised Xiao Liuzi to pull himself together, as there were many things besides Chu Linglong that needed to be resolved. Xiao Liuzi secretly resolved to make Wu Tong pay for his blood debt. Chu Xuanji received a notice from the Shaoyang Sect stating that Chen Minjue had been killed by Xiao Liuzi and his body sent back to Shaoyang. Xiao Liuzi was expelled from the Shaoyang Sect for harming his fellow disciples.

Subsequently, Chu Lei's spirit beast sent a letter also warning Chu Xuanji to be careful of Xiao Liuzi, and also mentioned that Chu Linglong had not awakened because she only had half of her primordial spirit. Upon receiving this news, Chu Xuanji was anxious to re-enter Buzhou Mountain. However, Ting Nu stated that there were insufficient materials to make the birthday candles, and he could not help Chu Xuanji enter Buzhou Mountain in a short time.

Teng She was originally a divine official and could freely enter Buzhou Mountain, but as Chu Xuanji's spirit beast, he was restricted by mortals and could not enter either. To enter Buzhou Mountain, Chu Xuanji was willing to cut off her arm to lift the restriction and let Teng She help. Fortunately, Yu Sifeng thought that fragments of a person's primordial spirit could sense each other.

Teng She could use the half of Chu Linglong's primordial spirit on her body to summon the other half back into her body. Teng She also agreed to help, so the three of them set off to return to Shaoyang. Xiao Liuzi returned to Tianxu Hall, and Wu Tong wantonly humiliated Xiao Liuzi. Xiao Liuzi questioned Wu Tong why he killed Chen Minjue, who had no grievances with him.

Wu Tong denied it, stating that it was Chu Linglong who personally delivered the glutinous rice cake that killed Chen Minjue. Xiao Liuzi could not believe that Chu Linglong would do such a thing. Wu Tong was angry that Xiao Liuzi was trying to awaken Chu Linglong and had the Flower Demon Chu Linglong personally feed Xiao Liuzi the glutinous rice cake. Ruo Yu mistakenly thought that the glutinous rice cake was poisonous and hurriedly pleaded for Xiao Liuzi.

However, Wu Tong only wanted to retaliate against Xiao Liuzi and threatened that if Xiao Liuzi continued to awaken Chu Linglong, he would continue to "send gifts" to Shaoyang. Wu Tong's possessiveness towards Chu Linglong was growing stronger and stronger. Xiao Liuzi could only let Wu Tong insult him as he pleased. Xiao Liuzi was remorseful for his fellow disciple's death and drowned his sorrows in alcohol.

The Flower Demon Chu Linglong originally wanted to make Xiao Liuzi happy, but the Flower Demon Chu Linglong was not the real Chu Linglong at all. Xiao Liuzi could no longer bear it and told the Flower Demon the truth, that the Flower Demon was only a product of Wu Tong's unrequited love. Even if her appearance, form, and movements were the same as Chu Linglong's, the Flower Demon was still just a substitute.

The Flower Demon could not accept such a self, recalling her first meeting with Wu Tong and Xiao Liuzi's words, she ran away sadly. Returning to the place where she grew, the Flower Demon remembered some things, but she only changed back to her original favorite color and went to please Wu Tong again. The Flower Demon changed her clothes to see Wu Tong.

Wu Tong was thinking about the task arranged by Yuan Lang and was not in the mood to pay attention. He did not pay much attention to the Flower Demon's clothes, which made the Flower Demon think that Wu Tong was not treating her as a substitute. Chu Xuanji led Yu Sifeng and Teng She back to Shaoyang via a shortcut. As soon as they entered the mountain, they saw their fellow disciples mourning in front of Chen Minjue's tombstone.

Chu Xuanji sadly mourned and vowed to avenge Chen Minjue. Chu Xuanji and others secretly came to Chu Linglong's room. Teng She, again tempted by delicious food, obediently summoned Chu Linglong's primordial spirit. However, Teng She's operation was useless. There was only one possibility: the other half of Chu Linglong's primordial spirit was trapped in another body. Teng She used magic to talk to Xiao Liuzi through the Flower Demon.

Chu Xuanji was willing to believe that Xiao Liuzi stayed in Tianxu Hall to retrieve Chu Linglong's primordial spirit. However, retrieving the other half of Chu Linglong's primordial spirit required a Soul-Leading Bell. Yu Sifeng seized on Teng She's weakness of being greedy for food and induced Teng She to continue to help. Teng She then used the Sun Spirit Moon Rhino Talisman to establish contact with Xiao Liuzi.

As long as Xiao Liuzi could steal the Soul-Leading Bell, Teng She could summon Chu Linglong's other primordial spirit outside Buzhou Mountain. The Flower Demon asked Xiao Liuzi to show her the Myriad Tribulations Barren Mirror again. In the mirror, the Flower Demon saw Wu Tong extract half of her primordial spirit and inject Chu Linglong's primordial spirit. The Flower Demon guided Xiao Liuzi and Ruo Yu to find her primordial spirit.

Ruo Yu successfully obtained the remaining half of the Flower Demon's primordial spirit and persuaded the Flower Demon to steal the Soul-Leading Bell so that each of their primordial spirits could return to their original owner. The Flower Demon thought that this would verify whether Wu Tong liked her or Chu Linglong, so she readily agreed. Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng, and Teng She had also arrived outside Buzhou Mountain and were ready to respond at any time.

The Flower Demon seized the opportunity to replace the real Soul-Leading Bell with a fake one and handed it to Xiao Liuzi. Teng She performed the spell outside Buzhou Mountain and successfully extracted Chu Linglong's primordial spirit. When it was time to retrieve the Flower Demon's primordial spirit, Ruo Yu quietly took off Xiao Liuzi's Sun Spirit Moon Rhino Talisman. Xiao Liuzi was cut off from outside contact.

Ruo Yu took the opportunity to suggest that he could use the Flower Demon to take out the Spirit Key for himself. Xiao Liuzi originally disagreed, but he had to agree when he remembered the false master's instructions and it was a good time. Ruo Yu used the Flower Demon to successfully take out the Lize Palace Flying Dragon Seal.

Ruo Yu explained a little and deceived Xiao Liuzi, and when he was about to retrieve the Flower Demon's primordial spirit, he was discovered by a little demon from Tianxu Hall. The two fought with the little demons from Tianxu Hall and fled in a panic to hide somewhere, but the little demons chased them out. Ruo Yu took the initiative to lure away the little demons and asked Xiao Liuzi to leave first.

Ruo Yu could not resist the crowd of demons and was pushed off the cliff. Xiao Liuzi had no choice but to step forward and fight, fortunately Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng, and Teng She arrived.

Episode 34 Recap

After Wu Tong finished his solitary cultivation and returned to the altar, he not only saw the Flower Demon completely changed in appearance but also learned that the Flower Demon had let Xiao Liuzi and Ruo Yu go. The Flower Demon originally thought that recovering her original appearance would also win Wu Tong's affection, but she did not expect Wu Tong to be furious and show no more mercy towards the Flower Demon, killing and destroying her.

Wu Tong's love for Chu Linglong was extreme and perverted; his possessiveness of Chu Linglong drove him to snatch her back. Immediately after, Wu Tong learned that Ruo Yu and Xiao Liuzi had stolen the Flying Dragon Seal, and he speculated that it must have been done by someone from Lize Palace. As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Lang came to his door.

Chu Lei's spirit beast retrieved the fragment dropped by the demon that fought with Hao Chen outside Buzhou Mountain. The fragment was a remnant of the Demon-Whipping Whip, and at that time, only the elders of the Four Great Sects were close to where the Demon-Whipping Whip shattered, so that demon must be one of the elders of the four sects.

Xiao Liuzi returned to the Shaoyang Sect with the other half of Chu Linglong's primordial spirit to admit his mistake. Chu Lei was about to punish Xiao Liuzi, but Chu Xuanji pleaded for her senior brother, explaining that Xiao Liuzi stayed in Tianxu Hall for the other half of Chu Linglong's primordial spirit. Xiao Liuzi was willing to accept his master's punishment without complaint, only wishing that his master would save Chu Linglong first.

Yu Sifeng also advised Chu Lei to inject the primordial spirit back into Chu Linglong's body first, lest the primordial spirit leave the body for too long and put Chu Linglong's life in danger. After Chu Linglong's primordial spirit was injected into her body, the memories of being in Tianxu Hall with Wu Tong made Chu Linglong panic. When Chu Linglong woke up, she couldn't even believe she was really back.

Fortunately, Chu Xuanji and her father Chu Lei were by her side comforting her. Chu Linglong felt slightly comforted but still asked about Xiao Liuzi's whereabouts. Chu Lei had to make an excuse to cover it up. Chu Lei, Hao Chen, and others interrogated Xiao Liuzi. Xiao Liuzi knelt down to beg for forgiveness for not completing his master's instructions, but Chu Lei denied having instructed him to steal the Spirit Key.

Xiao Liuzi questioned that it was Chu Lei who taught him not to care about the righteous path, which shocked Chu Lei greatly. Hao Chen ordered Xiao Liuzi to describe in detail the process of meeting Chu Lei. Xiao Liuzi truthfully recounted the conversation that day. Chu Lei truly had not met Xiao Liuzi nor given any orders. Yinghong also testified that Chu Lei had been with them the whole time and had not left.

Hao Chen speculated that the Chu Lei Xiao Liuzi saw was impersonated by a Dilang. Xiao Liuzi couldn't believe he had fallen for a demon's lie. In addition to the matter of Chu Linglong's primordial spirit, there was also the Spirit Key. However, the Spirit Key obtained from Tianxu Hall was taken by Ruo Yu, and since Ruo Yu fell off the cliff, the Spirit Key might have returned to the hands of the demons.

Although Chu Linglong was saved, Xiao Liuzi's act of harming his fellow disciple made it impossible for Chu Lei to forgive him. And Xiao Liuzi, knowing that the Flower Demon Chu Linglong had unintentionally poisoned and killed Senior Brother Chen Minjue, could only take the blame and confess on behalf of Chu Linglong. Therefore, Chu Lei decided to publicly try Xiao Liuzi in front of everyone in Shaoyang.

Ruo Yu returned to Lize Palace unharmed and handed the Flying Dragon Seal to Yuan Lang. It turned out that he was instructed by Yuan Lang to befriend Yu Sifeng, and deliberately stayed with Xiao Liuzi by Wu Tong's side, taking the opportunity to kill Yu Sifeng to stimulate Chu Xuanji's God of War memories, and finally retrieve the Flying Dragon Seal. Ruo Yu did everything step by step just for his sister Ruoxue.

This time, Ruo Yu was allowed to see Ruoxue once, but Ruoxue was always imprisoned by Yuan Lang. Ruo Yu only wanted to complete the task as quickly as possible so that Yuan Lang would release Ruoxue, and he was willing to lose friends and everything for it. Yu Sifeng visited Xiao Liuzi and encountered Hao Chen.

He originally only wanted to inquire about Xiao Liuzi's situation and ask Hao Chen to help plead for him, but Hao Chen was not polite at all to Yu Sifeng and warned him not to use affection to lure Chu Xuanji into doing bad things like Xiao Liuzi did. Yu Sifeng directly questioned Hao Chen why he was full of hostility towards him. Hao Chen was just full of jealousy and found other excuses to target Yu Sifeng.

Teng She forcefully entered Shaoyang and was blocked, so he directly knocked everyone down. However, the Shaoyang Secret Realm was facing the danger of collapse. The elders of Shaoyang and Hao Chen were all called to guard the realm. Hao Chen and Hengyang's magic power injected into the Secret Realm were like stones sinking into the sea. Hengyang activating the grand formation could not fully protect the Secret Realm.

Only by Hao Chen and Chu Xuanji getting married and cultivating the Dao of Sentient Love Technique together could they protect it together. However, Chu Xuanji was completely unwilling to marry Hao Chen and directly refused. Just as the atmosphere was tense, Teng She suddenly broke into the Secret Realm and accused Chu Xuanji of why she would abandon Yu Sifeng, the little cook who made delicious food, and marry her senior brother.

Although Teng She found Hao Chen familiar, he did not recognize the mortal-looking Hao Chen. Not only did he boldly contradict his heavenly realm superior Hao Chen, but he also shouted and revealed his identity as a heavenly god, boasting that even Heavenly Emperors asked him to do things and that the Secret Realm barrier was made by himself and several other divine officials together.

Chu Lei and others did not believe Teng She's identity, which angered Teng She, and he proceeded to repair the Secret Realm, becoming even more smug despite Hao Chen's gaze wanting to kill him. After Teng She repaired the Secret Realm and his true identity was confirmed, Chu Lei and Hengyang's attitude towards Teng She changed, and they asked for his help in guarding the Shaoyang Secret Realm and helping Chu Xuanji resist Tianxu Hall at the Hairpin Tournament.

Teng She was very excited about having a fight. However, Hao Chen insisted on blocking him, using the reason that people from the heavenly realm cannot interfere with mortal affairs. Teng She, playfully and smugly, directly pushed Hao Chen down. Hao Chen looked at his heavenly realm subordinate being so rude to him, angry but dare not speak. Chu Xuanji suggested that Teng She, as her spirit beast, participate in the Dianjing Vally Hairpin Tournament together.

If she encountered danger, Teng She's assistance would not be considered interfering with mortal affairs. Chu Xuanji instructed Teng She to search for Ruo Yu in Buzhou Mountain, but he did not find Ruo Yu's figure. Teng She's disrespectful attitude angered Hao Chen, who privately summoned Siming to question him. Siming stated that Teng She had already become Chu Xuanji's spirit beast and was involved in mortal realm affairs.

If he made a move, the Heavenly Emperor would know, and Hao Chen's involvement in the mortal realm would also be exposed. Furthermore, the God of War's fate pillar was already out of control, and Tianxu Hall was targeting the God of War. Having Teng She by Chu Xuanji's side to protect her was also a good thing. Hearing this, Hao Chen had no choice but to tolerate Teng She in the mortal realm.

Chu Xuanji visited Chu Linglong, but Chu Linglong kept asking about Xiao Liuzi's whereabouts. Chu Xuanji honestly stated that Xiao Liuzi had broken the sect rules. Chu Linglong originally wanted to visit Xiao Liuzi, but the memories of being with Wu Tong kept flashing in her mind. Chu Linglong was in great pain and wanted to be alone to calm down. Teng She followed the scent and found Chu Linglong's room to steal pastries.

Chu Linglong looked at Teng She and started crying. Teng She, afraid of crying girls, became gentle. In his words, he revealed the story of Xiao Liuzi risking his life to save Chu Linglong. Chu Linglong pressed Teng She about Xiao Liuzi, and Teng She, flustered, told her everything. Chu Linglong, recalling the Flower Demon's memories, saw that it was she who gave the poisoned pastry to Chen Minjue, leading to his death.

Chu Linglong could no longer bear it and cried bitterly. Xiao Liuzi was imprisoned in the Shaoyang jail. Seeing Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng visit, he still expected Chu Linglong to come, but Chu Linglong dared not face Xiao Liuzi. Xiao Liuzi thought the reason Chu Linglong was unwilling to see him was because he had committed a great mistake. Xiao Liuzi could understand Chu Linglong, who hated evil like fire, and only felt ashamed of Chen Minjue.

Xiao Liuzi took on the blame for murdering his fellow disciple alone so that Chu Linglong would not bear the burden of Chen Minjue's death. Xiao Liuzi knew his days were numbered, so he asked Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng to tell Chu Linglong that he did not love her and to live happily in the future even without his company. Chu Linglong heard all of this from a corner, blaming herself for causing Xiao Liuzi such suffering. Teng She did not understand humans and wanted to speak up for Chu Linglong but was stopped by Chu Linglong.

Episode 35 Recap

Xiao Liuzi was publicly tried before everyone. He took on all the blame and even publicly admitted to killing Second Senior Brother, stating that he was willing to atone for his crime with death before everyone, then casually drew his sword to commit suicide. Chu Linglong snatched the sword, intending to reveal the truth, but Xiao Liuzi immediately stopped her. He was already deeply in trouble, causing his master grief, and he did not want Chu Linglong to be contaminated.

Xiao Liuzi recalled entering Shaoyang at the age of eight, greeted at the door by Chu Linglong in a red dress. At that time, Chu Linglong was proud like a rose, and from that moment on, Xiao Liuzi decided to practice diligently and protect Chu Linglong his entire life, ensuring she would always remain as proud as she was then. Xiao Liuzi sought death, and everyone pleaded for him before Chu Lei.

However, though death could be pardoned, living punishment was unavoidable. Xiao Liuzi was removed from the immortal sect and expelled from Shaoyang. Chu Lei took back Xiao Liuzi's Shaoyang token. Seeing that the punishment was decided, Chu Linglong volunteered to leave Shaoyang. Everything Xiao Liuzi did was because of her, and being willful, Chu Linglong was willing to leave Shaoyang with Xiao Liuzi.

Chu Xuanji also did not want to be separated from Chu Linglong and insisted on leaving out of pique. They had once said they would live happily together forever. Now that things were like this, it was better to part amicably. Chu Xuanji and Chu Linglong's decision to leave angered and saddened Chu Lei. Chu Linglong had made a choice between her most precious things, and that choice was Xiao Liuzi.

Chu Linglong told Chu Xuanji that she could live away from Shaoyang, but she could not live without Xiao Liuzi. In life, not everything can go as planned, but one must protect the most important person. Chu Linglong persuaded Chu Xuanji to stay and be filial for her. Chu Lei, with pain, took back and destroyed Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi's tokens.

Family bonds were hard to sever, and Chu Lei was ultimately reluctant to part with his daughter and beloved disciple. Only when packing her luggage did Chu Linglong confess her true feelings to Chu Xuanji. Since she woke up, memories of the Flower Demon had constantly been in her mind.

The bad deeds done by the Flower Demon made Chu Linglong feel disgusted, but the Flower Demon was not Chu Linglong after all, and her actions did not represent what Chu Linglong did. Chu Linglong understood deep down that she must let go of the past and live well with Xiao Liuzi. Before leaving, she gave Chu Xuanji the Zhuying Pearl that her mother had used to record stories of Chu Xuanji's childhood. The two sisters parted ways.

Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi left Shaoyang and settled down at the foot of the mountain. Xiao Liuzi always abided by the rules with Chu Linglong, but Chu Linglong knew Xiao Liuzi's feelings for her and proactively kissed him. With their feelings clear, the two lovers finally ended up together. With Chu Linglong gone, Chu Xuanji only had Yu Sifeng by her side. Chu Xuanji asked how to choose between two most important things.

Yu Sifeng told Chu Xuanji that just like Chu Linglong said, all they needed to do was protect the most important person, and no matter what, he would choose Chu Xuanji, and Chu Xuanji would too. Yu Sifeng thought that after the Hairpin Tournament, he would find a peaceful place with Chu Xuanji to spend the rest of their lives together.

Chu Xuanji was slightly embarrassed and came to the ancestral hall to see her father talking to her mother's memorial tablet again. Chu Lei and his wife only had two children in this life, Chu Xuanji and Chu Linglong. Seeing them safe naturally brought satisfaction, especially since Chu Xuanji had become so sensible after her training, which was even more comforting. But Chu Lei often felt uneasy about Chu Xuanji's peculiarity.

To prevent her identity as the God of War from being revealed, Chu Xuanji could only give evasive answers. Chu Lei finally agreed to accept Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji being together. After the incident with Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi, Chu Lei had come to realize that as long as two people were together, inseparable and loving and respecting each other, that was enough. Moreover, Yu Sifeng was a good child and devoted entirely to Chu Xuanji.

Even though Lize Palace had many rules and the Master of Lize Palace was not very happy about Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng being together, Chu Lei was still willing to persuade the Master of Lize Palace and planned to hold weddings for both Chu Linglong and Chu Xuanji after the Hairpin Tournament. Yu Sifeng was deeply moved upon hearing this, expressed his genuine feelings, and promised never to fail Chu Xuanji in this life.

Chu Lei left to give the young couple some space. Chu Xuanji fulfilled her promise to be responsible, and Yu Sifeng could only give himself to her. Chu Xuanji asked Yu Sifeng to take out his mother's portrait. Before both their mothers, they exchanged vows of marriage, and Yu Sifeng placed the hairpin left by Chu Xuanji's mother onto Chu Xuanji's hair.

Just as they were in a sweet moment, Teng She suddenly appeared, ruining the atmosphere, making Chu Xuanji angrily chase him away. Before heading to Dianjing Vally for the Hairpin Tournament, Chu Xuanji wore the hairpin to visit Chu Linglong. Upon returning, she met Yinghong, who noticed Chu Xuanji's hairpin. It turned out the hairpin represented the Golden Crimson Bird tribe, who were the demon realm's right-hand men in the past.

When the demon realm was defeated, they fled to the mortal realm to hide, and a Golden Crimson Bird demon was Chu Xuanji's mother's killer. Chu Xuanji had lost a part of her memory from childhood, and neither Yinghong nor Chu Linglong had ever mentioned it to Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji felt uneasy and hid the origin of the hairpin but was still curious about what happened in her childhood.

Chu Xuanji invited Yu Sifeng to watch the Zhuying Pearl with her. Besides the happy times with Chu Linglong in her childhood, it also revealed the truth of her mother's death. Chu Xuanji remembered that a Golden Crimson Bird demon killed her mother. Chu Xuanji asked where the hairpin came from.

Yu Sifeng was also shocked to learn that his tribesmen had killed Chu Xuanji's mother, but seeing Chu Xuanji determined for revenge, Yu Sifeng could only hide his identity again and secretly ordered Xiao Yinhua to investigate the truth of the matter. Although Yu Sifeng was very worried that Chu Xuanji would hate him because of this, he deeply loved Chu Xuanji and was still unwilling to leave her.

Hao Chen planned to use Merman blood to find the demon outside Buzhou Mountain who used Disha magic. Because this demon had touched the birthday candle, his hand must have Merman's Tears, which, once touched, linger for a long time. If any of the twelve elders' hands changed color upon touching Merman blood, he would be the demon. Yuan Lang imprisoned and tortured Wu Tong, even cutting off one of Wu Tong's arms as punishment for betrayal.

Wu Tong offered to sell Dianjing Vally's mechanisms to save his life. Yuan Lang saw that Wu Tong still had some use and planned to keep him, but ordered Wu Tong to cauterize his wound to stop the bleeding and vent his anger. Wu Tong was ruthless to others and even more so to himself, naturally willing to do it to survive.

The Great Palace Master was also a devoted person, having talked to a corpse named Haofeng for over twenty years. Dianjing Vally had grown stone marrow which could revive the Great Palace Master's beloved Haofeng. Yuan Lang proposed a collaboration with the Great Palace Master: he would seize the Spirit Key, and the Great Palace Master would seize the stone marrow, without interfering with each other.

Episode 36 Recap

The Shaoyang disciples assembled, ready to set off for Dianjing Vally. Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi came up the mountain and pleaded to join them. With a major enemy approaching, there was a shortage of manpower to fight the Tianxu Hall. Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi pleaded bitterly, and with Chu Xuanji's entreaty, Chu Lei finally agreed to let the two accompany them. Teng She grumbled and bickered with Chu Xuanji.

The four major sects had already gathered in Dianjing Vally at this time. Chu Lei and Hao Chen found Valley Master Rong as planned to discuss using Merman's Tears to test the demon identities of the elders. Teng She secretly ate food in the valley and was mocked by the Dianjing Vally disciples. Only out of consideration for Chu Xuanji did Teng She not cause a scene. When Lize Palace arrived, Yu Sifeng went to request an audience.

The Great Palace Master was still angry about Yu Sifeng leaving without saying goodbye. Yu Sifeng knelt before the Palace Master, begging for forgiveness. The Palace Master believed that the people of the major sects Yu Sifeng associated with were hypocritical and worried that Yu Sifeng would eventually be hurt by this. He also believed that the people from the other sects were not sincere, especially Chu Xuanji.

Once Yu Sifeng revealed his true identity to her, could Chu Xuanji still accept it? Although Yu Sifeng was worried about Chu Xuanji knowing the truth, he had also decided to tell Chu Xuanji his identity at an appropriate opportunity. Yu Sifeng pressed the Palace Master to confirm that it was indeed Lize Palace that killed Chu Xuanji's mother.

Yu Sifeng was disappointed by Lize Palace's indiscriminate killing of innocents, but the Palace Master cleverly argued that humans were hypocritical, and if they did not kill humans, their own identity would be exposed. More than twenty years ago, a Lize Palace disciple fell in love with the daughter of the old Valley Master of Dianjing Vally and even had a child.

However, after the Lize Palace disciple's identity was accidentally exposed, the immortal sect disciples forced the old Valley Master's daughter to reveal the Lize Palace disciple's secret. Ultimately, the woman committed suicide to protect Lize Palace's secret. The Palace Master believed that no matter how deeply two lovers were, once their identities were in opposition, they would turn against each other. He advised Yu Sifeng to leave Chu Xuanji early to avoid being hurt.

But Yu Sifeng stubbornly believed that Lize Palace owed Chu Xuanji and should give her an explanation. Yu Sifeng thought he could hide his identity his whole life, but such an idea was merely self-deception.

Valley Master Rong released news that the Spirit Key had been moved from the underground palace to the West Hall within the valley, and Merman blood was placed on the door to lure demons there, and then use the Thousand Jin Gate in the west to trap the demons.

Even if the demons were not ultimately trapped, their identity could be verified by the Merman blood, but Hao Chen was afraid that there was more than one demon coming to Dianjing Vally. After talking with the Palace Master, Yu Sifeng held Chu Xuanji without restraint, seeking comfort. Chu Xuanji was still wondering what secret of Yu Sifeng was hidden inside the Lu Gong Lock.

Yu Sifeng still did not have the courage to reveal his identity, only telling Chu Xuanji to wait for him to resolve the matter and then explain clearly. Chu Xuanji thought Yu Sifeng was upset because the Palace Master disagreed, and she comforted him kindly. She also promised that after the events in Dianjing Vally were over, she would accompany Yu Sifeng to Lize Palace to plead for him.

Hao Chen again verified Yu Sifeng's identity and actually revealed Yu Sifeng's true form. Hao Chen wanted to expose Yu Sifeng's demon identity in front of Chu Xuanji. Yuan Lang brought a Earth Wolf to the West Hall, suppressing its demonic energy to avoid detection by the mechanical figures. He then followed Wu Tong's method to successfully open the door to the Dianjing Vally treasure vault. The Spirit Key was not found inside the treasure vault.

Subsequently, the two accidentally triggered a mechanism. The Earth Wolf pushed Yuan Lang away and was trapped by the Demon Binding Array. Yuan Lang saw that the situation was not good and left first. The Earth Wolf committed suicide while trapped, not giving the various sects a chance to interrogate him. Yuan Lang and the Palace Master arrived late, just in time to see the Earth Wolf commit suicide before them.

Hao Chen proposed that the elders should contribute their power to repair the Dianjing Vally array. Yuan Lang was unaware this was a test and was found to be a demon. Hao Chen then stated that he had also verified Yu Sifeng as a Golden Crimson Bird demon, and further slandered Yu Sifeng's purpose in approaching Chu Xuanji in front of everyone.

The three major sects collectively agreed that the entire Lize Palace was not simple and planned to take down the Lize Palace people at the Hairpin Tournament to avoid unexpected events. The demon-trapping array of Dianjing Vally could only be activated at noon when the Yang energy was strongest.

Everyone discussed how to trap the Lize Palace demons at this time, while the Lize Palace disciples were also prepared and planned to attack other sects under the command of the Palace Master. Yu Sifeng sensed something was wrong and found the Palace Master to get an explanation. For thousands of years, Lize Palace had always maintained faith, practiced benevolence, and lived harmoniously with other sects, so why would they be hostile to the immortal sects at this time?

But the Palace Master's beloved, Haofeng, was forced to her death by the so-called reputable sects. It turned out the Palace Master was the Lize Palace disciple who fell in love with the daughter of the old Valley Master of Dianjing Vally that year. Haofeng died because she was forced to reveal the Palace Master's identity. The Palace Master wanted to kill all the immortal sects to retrieve the stone marrow and revive Haofeng.

The Palace Master was blinded by love and hate and did not listen to Yu Sifeng's persuasion. Yu Sifeng did not want Lize Palace to go on a killing spree and was determined to stop all of this from happening. Yuan Lang was careless and exposed himself significantly, promising to awaken the Star of Mosha someday to avenge the Earth Wolf. Yu Sifeng found a way to have the Deputy Palace Master come to see the Palace Master.

After the Deputy Palace Master arrived, Yu Sifeng used an array to trap the Palace Master and Deputy Palace Master in the room. He also took the Golden Feather Token and ordered the Lize Palace disciples to withdraw from the Hairpin Tournament and return to Lize Palace. Yu Sifeng requested an audience with Valley Master Rong to explain the matter of withdrawing from the competition. As soon as Yu Sifeng entered the West Garden, he was detained by the crowd.

Hao Chen grabbed Yu Sifeng and was about to kill him. Yu Sifeng begged Hao Chen to spare him at this time, otherwise, if Lize Palace changed, the other sects would be in danger. Hao Chen disregarded Yu Sifeng's explanation and forcibly restrained Yu Sifeng, intending to resolve the Lize Palace demons first and then let Chu Xuanji witness Yu Sifeng's identity herself.

The Palace Master had already found a way to break free from the array and went to the Hairpin Tournament arena. Chu Xuanji's first opponent was Haofeng from Lize Palace. Haofeng went all out to kill Chu Xuanji from the start. Chu Xuanji calmly and composedly met the challenge, and with Teng She's timely reminders, she was not completely at a disadvantage. While the two were fighting, the divine beast Taohui emerged and sucked Chu Xuanji away. It turned out the one fighting Chu Xuanji was the Master of Lize Palace.

Episode 37 Recap

The Master of Lize Palace revealed his identity, and disciples from both sides became confrontational. Meanwhile, Chu Xuanji and Teng She were taken away by Taohui, who had already set up a turbid mist in advance. In the turbid mist, Taohui's power was unusual, making even Teng She unable to deal with him. While Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji were each held back, Lize Palace simultaneously fought against the other sects.

Dianjing Vally activated its demon-trapping array, putting Lize Palace at a disadvantage. The Deputy Palace Master offered up Zi Hu's aura to contaminate the magical artifacts, making it impossible for the other immortal sects to resist. Lize Palace intended to kill all of them. Teng She even spat out his natal true fire but was still bitten by Taohui.

As a divine official, Teng She was not in serious danger, but the two of them were trapped inside and had to find a way to escape. Unfortunately, Chu Xuanji was currently a mortal, not the God of War, and could not use the Nine Heavens Profound Fire; otherwise, there would still be a way to resolve it. Teng She originally intended to let Chu Xuanji escape first, but she refused to abandon him to face it alone.

Xiao Yinhua untied Yu Sifeng's demon-binding rope but was instead bound. Yuan Lang took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Dianjing Vally treasure vault to seize the Spirit Key. Then, disregarding the Master of Lize Palace's fate, he left with his disciples. He also did not obtain the millennium stone marrow for the Master. Upon receiving this news, the Master left to retrieve the stone marrow himself.

Chu Xuanji had already broken through Taohui's mist and returned to the ground. Looking at the tragic state of the immortal sect disciples on the ground and learning that it was Lize Palace's doing, she was utterly disappointed. Yu Sifeng pursued the Master of Lize Palace, but the Master was determined to find the stone marrow, disregarding the manipulation by Tianxu Hall and Yuan Lang, only wanting to revive the one he loved.

In his desperation, the Master had no choice but to tell Yu Sifeng that Haofeng, the person he wanted to save, was Yu Sifeng's mother, and the Master was Yu Sifeng's father. The Master told Yu Sifeng the entire truth of the matter. Haofeng had always been in Lize Palace. Yu Sifeng was still immersed in the shock of the truth.

For many years, with the Master's affection and the hairpin and portrait he gave him, he had never guessed the truth. The father and son had no time to continue understanding the truth, as the immortal sect members had already attacked. Lize Palace disciples suffered heavy casualties. Facing his clan father and the righteous Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng's choice was too difficult.

The Master of Lize Palace and his disciples revealed their Golden Crimson Bird demon forms and intended to kill all the immortal sects. At this moment, the various immortal sects also learned that all of Lize Palace were demons, who had been concealing their identities and associating with immortal sect disciples for so many years. A great battle was about to erupt, with countless casualties on both sides.

The Master of Lize Palace attempted to harm Chu Lei, but Yu Sifeng blocked him. The Master was a Golden Crimson Bird with twelve wings, not someone mortals could deal with. The Master went on a killing spree, annihilating the immortal sect disciples single-handedly. Even the remaining immortal sect disciples, using their magic in combination, had no chance of winning. Only Yu Sifeng used his own strength to resist the Master, desperately persuading the Master to spare these innocent mortals.

When Chu Xuanji rushed over, she saw Yu Sifeng confronting the Master of Lize Palace. Worried about Yu Sifeng's safety, she temporarily broke the connection between them. Chu Xuanji was still concerned about Yu Sifeng's injuries, but Chu Lei and Hao Chen told her that Yu Sifeng was a demon. Chu Xuanji refused to believe what others said. Even with the Dragon Crystal Seal as proof, Chu Xuanji still guaranteed with her life that Yu Sifeng was not a demon.

Chu Xuanji only believed Yu Sifeng if he spoke his identity himself. At this point, Yu Sifeng could no longer hide his identity. Even if Yu Sifeng was not a demon from Tianxu Hall, he could not escape his origin as a Golden Crimson Bird. Chu Xuanji's trust was completely shattered. Every moment she spent with Yu Sifeng, their past sweetness, and their adventures together flashed before her eyes.

Chu Xuanji could not believe that Yu Sifeng, whom she deeply loved and fully trusted, was a demon. Yu Sifeng watched with tears in his eyes as Chu Xuanji gradually moved away. With this battle today, Lize Palace and the immortal sects officially broke ties. Lize Palace disciples had been almost entirely killed, leaving only the Master and Yu Sifeng surrounded.

The Master of Lize Palace accused the immortal sect members, saying, "Those who are not of my kind shall be killed," and mocked Chu Xuanji's feelings for Yu Sifeng. Everyone worked together to exterminate the entire Golden Crimson Bird clan. Yu Sifeng was in unbearable pain within the encirclement. At this moment, Chu Xuanji still held a glimmer of hope, persuading Yu Sifeng to sever ties with Lize Palace.

Chu Lei saw Chu Xuanji's stubbornness and told her that back then, her mother took Chu Xuanji to seek medical help outside Dianjing Vally. When they met Haofeng, her mother was killed while being pursued by the Golden Crimson Bird clan. Facing the truth of that year, the Master of Lize Palace did not explain but instead admitted that he himself had killed Chu Xuanji's mother.

Chu Xuanji was greatly provoked, believing that Yu Sifeng had been deceiving her all along. Now that the truth was out, she wanted to avenge her mother. The Master of Lize Palace had gone mad and wanted a fight to the death. He released even greater energy, knocking everyone down, and also absorbing everyone's true energy. Yu Sifeng desperately begged the Master not to do this.

The Master did not listen to persuasion, so Yu Sifeng had no choice but to stand in front of everyone again to protect them. Chu Xuanji prepared to summon the power of the God of War, but Yu Sifeng desperately held her back. However, everyone present was in critical condition, including her father and uncles. Chu Xuanji could no longer bear it and charged forward.

Yu Sifeng, worried that Chu Xuanji would be injured because of this, could only reveal his true form. Once Yu Sifeng's true form appeared, there was no room for turning back. Hao Chen incited everyone to kill Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji raised her sword along with everyone else and pointed it at Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng thought Chu Xuanji was heartless, and the Lover's Curse acted up again.

The Master of Lize Palace left, taking the heavily injured Yu Sifeng with him. Chu Xuanji looked at Yu Sifeng's tragic state, and with the love she still held for him in her heart, she chased after him to clarify things. The Master cast a spell to protect Yu Sifeng's body, but Yu Sifeng still wanted to go back and explain to Chu Xuanji.

The Master was exasperated, wondering how Yu Sifeng could ever let go of his infatuation with Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji's attitude was already very clear: humans and demons are irreconcilable, and Chu Xuanji would not forgive Yu Sifeng. When Chu Xuanji rushed over, she only wanted to kill the Master of Lize Palace and take Yu Sifeng away. She didn't want to give up either her beloved or her father (Yu Sifeng).

Yu Sifeng blocked Chu Xuanji's Dingkun Sword and was injured again. Chu Xuanji was still worried about Yu Sifeng and gave up the chase. However, the Master was preparing to attack Chu Xuanji from behind. To make the Master give up, Yu Sifeng had no choice but to push Chu Xuanji away and say ruthless words. The Master left with the unconscious Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji was heartbroken and misunderstood that Yu Sifeng had been deceiving her.

After the great battle with Lize Palace, the immortal sects had not yet reorganized when they faced Wu Tong, who brought the demons from Tianxu Hall to attack. Wu Tong was perversely infatuated with Chu Linglong. However, Wu Tong's demonic methods were superior. Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi together were unable to deal with him, and Wu Tong captured Chu Linglong again.

Episode 38 Recap

Chu Xuanji still recalled the scene of Yu Sifeng revealing his demon form and fighting alongside the people of Lize Palace against the immortal sects. Hearing about Wu Tong and the demons from Tianxu Hall trapping Chu Linglong further fueled Chu Xuanji's hatred for the demon race, triggering the God of War's memory.

Chu Xuanji summoned the God of War armor, using the God of War's power to break Chu Linglong's restraints and aiming to make Wu Tong suffer eternal damnation. However, Wu Tong had already learned Chu Xuanji's identity and prepared Candel Dragon scales in advance as a shield to resist the God of War's power. Chu Xuanji's hatred for demons was too deep; she was determined to leave none of the demons present with a burial place.

Chu Xuanji unleashed the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, incinerating the demons. Wu Tong, seeing he could not resist the God of War's power, hastily retreated. But the God of War's power was uncontrollable and also harmed the immortal sect disciples present. Hao Chen, disregarding the danger, stepped forward to stop her. Although his hand was burned, luckily Chu Xuanji's God of War power receded, resolving the crisis, and Chu Xuanji fainted.

In her coma, Chu Xuanji dreamt of Yu Sifeng treating her coldly and heartlessly. Hao Chen stayed by her side and, when she woke up, took the opportunity to sow discord, claiming Yu Sifeng had never truly loved her, approaching her only to explore the Shaoyang secret realm. Upon learning Chu Xuanji was the God of War, he further deceived her, just waiting for her power to be used by the demon race.

Hao Chen's words pierced Chu Xuanji's heart one by one. Hao Chen then pretended to be kind, promising to stay with Chu Xuanji through this tribulation and guide her toward the path of immortality. Chu Xuanji didn't fully absorb Hao Chen's words; Yu Sifeng's place in her heart was still important. After Hao Chen left, Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi came to visit Chu Xuanji. Chu Linglong even spoke ill of Yu Sifeng's sincerity in front of Chu Xuanji.

Despite how many times Yu Sifeng was severely injured protecting the immortal sects, his sacrifices, in Chu Linglong's eyes, were merely demonic hypocrisy. Although Xiao Liuzi still believed in Yu Sifeng's sincerity towards Chu Xuanji, Chu Linglong was convinced that Tianxu Hall and Lize Palace were originally working together, and Yu Sifeng must be in cahoots with Tianxu Hall. However, Chu Xuanji could not believe it until she uncovered the truth and heard a straightforward answer from Yu Sifeng.

Chu Linglong adamantly forbade Chu Xuanji from seeking Yu Sifeng to clarify things. Chu Linglong was the ungrateful one, having completely forgotten Yu Sifeng's genuine sincerity. The elders of Dianjing Vally invited Chu Xuanji, as the God of War, and Teng She to move to the main hall for a significant discussion. Chu Xuanji was initially unaccustomed to this address but had no choice but to go after repeated requests.

Meanwhile, Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi were refused entry to the main hall because they had been expelled from Shaoyang. Seeing this, Chu Linglong advised Chu Xuanji to leave. Dianjing Vally disciples then publicly shamed Chu Linglong about her past with Wu Tong. Chu Linglong, already troubled by her flower demon memories, was deeply hurt by this humiliation and left upset. Xiao Liuzi quickly chased after Chu Linglong.

The Master of Dianjing Vally and Dongfang Qingqi completely changed their previous attitude, showing immense respect to Chu Xuanji, even kneeling to ask her to lead the righteous sects to exterminate demons and save the mortal realm. Chu Xuanji found it hard to accept such a heavy responsibility and politely declined. Chu Lei then used his status as her father and his injured body to awaken Chu Xuanji's sense of responsibility.

Chu Lei was severely injured by the Master of Lize Palace, with a bird that specifically fed on human internal organs residing in his body, causing him extreme pain. Fortunately, Teng She was able to remove the bird, leaving Chu Lei unharmed. Chu Lei repeatedly explained the severity of the current situation to Chu Xuanji, stating that the mortal realm was on the brink of collapse and only Chu Xuanji's God of War power could bear the responsibility.

Seeing her father's plea and the earnest hopes of the immortal sect disciples, Chu Xuanji had no choice but to agree. An alliance was formed to kill all of Tianxu Hall and exterminate Lize Palace. The command to exterminate Lize Palace made Chu Xuanji hesitate. Hao Chen, seeing Chu Xuanji's hesitation, proactively stated that Tianxu Hall and Lize Palace were in collusion, and their sole purpose was to resurrect the Star of Mosha and overthrow the three realms.

Now was not the time to focus solely on revenge; they should instead protect the secret realm and gather forces in Shaoyang in preparation for a great battle. Sect Master Rong, however, was fixated on Yu Sifeng, insisting that Chu Xuanji promise to kill him. Seeing Chu Xuanji's reluctance to respond, Hao Chen promised on her behalf that he would grind Yu Sifeng to dust to appease the immortal sects.

The Master of Lize Palace treated Yu Sifeng's injuries, giving him the only antidote for the Lover's Curse. The antidote's effect was to make one forget emotions, but Yu Sifeng refused to take it, unwilling to forget. Regardless of whose side Chu Xuanji was on, Yu Sifeng believed it was his own fault for concealing the truth first.

The millennium of peace in Lize Palace and the death of Chu Xuanji's mother were lodged in his throat, causing him to choke up. The Master, trapped by his emotions, could not untie the knot in his heart and refused to admit his mistakes. The Master took Yu Sifeng to see the frozen Haofeng and recounted his past with his beloved. They fell in love upon their first meeting, and love blossomed during their second encounter when she saved him.

Later, Haofeng became pregnant. When she was giving birth to Yu Sifeng, the old Master of Lize Palace found out and almost killed Yu Sifeng. Fortunately, Yu Sifeng possessed the twelve-winged bloodline, so his life was spared, and he was brought back to Lize Palace. However, Haofeng still loved the Master but could not stay by Yu Sifeng's side. Yet, the so-called immortal sects pressured Haofeng to reveal the Master's identity.

To protect her child and lover, Haofeng was forced to her death. Due to the old Master, the Master of Lize Palace could not acknowledge Yu Sifeng. All this time, the Master's wish had been to hear Yu Sifeng call him "Dad." Yu Sifeng then learned about the deep and moving story of his parents' love. Moreover, the Master had always shown immense love and care for Yu Sifeng.

How could Yu Sifeng not bring himself to call the Master "Dad"? Haofeng ate the millennium stone marrow and heard Yu Sifeng call him "Dad," bringing the Master a sense of fulfillment. Yuan Lang returned to Lize Palace, staged a rebellion, and forced the Master to abdicate. The Master, having no desire for the position of Lize Palace Master, intended to step down and gathered the Lize Palace disciples. The Master, Deputy Master, and elders argued.

The Master stopped everyone and announced that he would pass the position of Master to Yu Sifeng, who, as the heir of the twelve-winged bloodline, was the rightful successor. But Yuan Lang refused to give up, using the Master's feelings for Haofeng to severely injure him. Haofeng had never truly loved the Master, or perhaps her feelings for the Master stopped at the point when she learned he was a demon.

Episode 39 Recap

Haofeng showed a strange phenomenon when giving birth. Luckily, the old Master arrived in time, took Yu Sifeng away, and killed the immortal sect members to keep the secret. Haofeng had not yet recovered from the shock of giving birth to a demonically wicked child, witnessing the tragic deaths of the immortal sect members before her eyes. She was also forced by the Master to take off the Lover's Curse mask.

Haofeng hated the Master and escaped while he was suffering from the mask's backlash. Haofeng happened to meet Chu Xuanji's mother, He Danping, and wanted to leave with her, but the Master rushed to chase Haofeng, merely hitting He Danping a few times before leaving. It was Yuan Lang who killed Chu Xuanji's mother and concealed the secrets of Lize Palace.

As for why the Master still had his memories, it was because the old Master valued the Master's twelve-winged bloodline and found the Pill of Forgetfulness for the Master to swallow to undo the Lover's Curse. He also preserved the Master's beautiful memories to prevent the Lover's Curse from triggering. The Master refused to believe the truth Yuan Lang spoke. The elders who knew the truth were also unwilling to provoke the Master.

Yuan Lang then produced the blood writing left by Haofeng before her death. In the blood writing, Haofeng admitted she was misled and trapped by evil, disgracing the reputation of Dianjing Vally, and committed suicide to prove her innocence. In the end, the Master could not help but believe what Yuan Lang said. The Great Master was too deeply stimulated, triggering the Lover's Curse, causing him to vomit blood.

The Great Master wanted to wait for Haofeng's return even unto death. However, back then, the Old Master of Dianjing Vally had gone to great lengths to retrieve the stone marrow to save his beloved daughter's life. But the Master snatched Haofeng's body, causing the time limit for the stone marrow's effectiveness to pass, leading to the Old Master's painful death. It turned out the stone marrow's effect lasted only three years.

Once the time limit passed, the primordial spirit of the deceased would dissipate, making it impossible to revive them. Yuan Lang brought out Haofeng's body and displayed it before the Great Master. Past events could no longer be recalled. The Great Master watched as Haofeng's body vanished into smoke. The Lover's Curse accelerated the Great Master's death. Yu Sifeng embraced his father's body.

Before his death, the Great Master told Yu Sifeng that he and Haofeng had indeed loved each other sincerely. His only wish was for Yu Sifeng to take the Pill of Forgetfulness, forget the relationship, and not follow his old path. He also wished for Yu Sifeng to protect Lize Palace and the Golden Finch clan well.

In just a few days, Yu Sifeng experienced Chu Xuanji's misunderstanding, the battle of Lize Palace, the truth of his parents' love, and his father's death. The blow to Yu Sifeng was too severe. Yuan Lang brazenly sat on the Master's throne and watched the Great Master ascend. The Lize Palace elders and disciples honored Yuan Lang as the new Master. Yu Sifeng absolutely refused to abandon his father's dying wish.

Holding the Golden Feather Token, he ordered the Lize Palace disciples who had joined Tianxu Hall to withdraw, or face death without mercy. Tianxu Hall was a wicked demonic path and ultimately not righteous. Still, many disciples were willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light. Yu Sifeng had already promised to protect the Golden Finch clansmen unharmed, so he naturally vowed to be an enemy of Yuan Lang.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Lang seized a handle (a means of coercion) and threatened to kill the clansmen if Yu Sifeng didn't hand over the Golden Feather Token. Seeing that Elder Bai had already been brutally murdered by Yuan Lang, to prevent innocent clansmen from suffering a tragic death, Yu Sifeng had no choice but to temporarily hand over the Golden Feather Token. Holding the token, Yuan Lang demanded that all Lize Palace disciples join Tianxu Hall, or face death without mercy.

Chu Xuanji, in her drunken state, seemed to understand Yu Sifeng's feelings. Yu Sifeng had also been nervous and afraid. Even though others wanted Chu Xuanji, the God of War, to kill Yu Sifeng the demon, how could Chu Xuanji bring herself to kill Yu Sifeng? She would rather not be the God of War than harm Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji understood Yu Sifeng's feelings but didn't understand why Yu Sifeng had to deceive her.

Chu Xuanji's drunken words were overheard by Hao Chen. Seeing Chu Xuanji's deep affection for Yu Sifeng, Hao Chen left heartbroken. Even in her sleep, Chu Xuanji held the hairpin Yu Sifeng gave her, thinking of the words they exchanged when pledging their love. Zi Hu came to find Chu Xuanji to comfort her. Chu Xuanji had never minded the identities of Ting Nu and Zi Hu the demon, so why should she mind Yu Sifeng's identity?

Although Yu Sifeng was a Golden Finch, he had never harmed anyone. Why should identities matter in love? Chu Xuanji simply didn't understand why Yu Sifeng hid his identity. Zi Hu asked why they didn't clear things up face to face if there was a misunderstanding. Under Zi Hu's guidance and prompting, Chu Xuanji seemed to have thought things through somewhat.

But Chu Xuanji still didn't understand why Yu Sifeng, being from Lize Palace, protected the wicked demon who killed her mother. Zi Hu told Chu Xuanji that the Master was Yu Sifeng's biological father and had raised him. Yu Sifeng had no choice, and he had only recently learned all the twists and turns. Whatever decision he made, Yu Sifeng was surely conflicted. The torment and pain Chu Xuanji had recently suffered were no less for Yu Sifeng.

Zi Hu and Liu Yihuan planned to help Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng meet and talk things through properly, so they wouldn't be in separate places suffering alone. Chu Linglong was secretly hurting because of her past with Wu Tong and the mockery from other disciples. No matter what, Xiao Liuzi would stay by Chu Linglong's side, fending off the cruel words and helping her through these difficulties.

Chu Linglong was too deeply traumatized by Wu Tong; her dreams were filled with Wu Tong's ferocious figure. Yu Sifeng kept vigil for his father. Scenes of his parents' lives echoed, and his parents' experiences were replayed on Yu Sifeng himself. Would Chu Xuanji also, like his mother, despise his demon identity and sever their relationship?

Xiao Yinhua made a wish before the Great Master's spirit tablet, asking Yu Sifeng to swallow the Pill of Emotionlessness, forget his feelings for Chu Xuanji, and kill all the immortal righteous sects. Yu Sifeng sent Xiao Yinhua away, only to be met by Yuan Lang. Yuan Lang requested to cooperate with Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng was a twelve-winged Golden Finch, and if he unlocked his potential, he could join the ranks of great demons.

Back then, how mighty was the Golden Finch clan when they served as the King Asura's vanguard to attack the heavenly realm? Yuan Lang wanted to resurrect the Star of Mosha and revitalize the demon race, leading the Golden Finch clan back to their former glory. The most crucial place to resurrect the Star of Mosha was the Shaoyang secret realm, where the Crystal Lamp sealing the Star of Mosha's star soul was located. Yuan Lang told Yu Sifeng all this information precisely because he wanted Yu Sifeng to cooperate with him.

Episode 40 Recap

Yu Sifeng wanted to know from Yuan Lang why he was targeting Chu Xuanji everywhere, but Yuan Lang proposed a trade condition. He needed Yu Sifeng's twelve-winged Golden Finch to break into the demon realm and rescue Wu Zhiqi. The demon realm was filled with malevolent energy and fraught with danger. In Yu Sifeng's eyes, Yuan Lang was merely luring him to his death. Yuan Lang spoke more and more beautifully. Revitalizing the demon race would make humans subservient.

At that time, Chu Xuanji would obediently return to Yu Sifeng's side. If not, Chu Xuanji's power of the God of War would kill Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng rebuked Yuan Lang and sent him away. Elder Luo sighed that the Deputy Palace Master had great ambitions. He was also forcing the Lize Palace disciples to join Tianxu Hall and work hard. Yu Sifeng asked everyone to bear with it temporarily.

He now understood Yuan Lang's intentions and could plan countermeasures to protect the Golden Finch clan. Yuan Lang cruelly devoured living souls and had currently devoured eighty. Once he had devoured ninety-nine living souls, he could cultivate the Soul Refining Cauldron, which, combined with an array, could absorb the power of the God of War. Ruo Yu, standing by, revealed his ambition. Yuan Lang still trusted Ruo Yu somewhat and told him his plan.

To awaken Chu Xuanji's power of the God of War and revive the Star of Mosha, Juntian Cehai must be used to open the Crystal Lamp. However, once the Crystal Lamp was opened, the Star of Mosha's thousand years of pressure would instantly turn the opener into dust. Only if he possessed the power of the God of War could he be safe.

Moreover, after the Star of Mosha was resurrected, he needed to use the power of the God of War to fight against him to make him submit. The keyhole trapping Wu Zhiqi would only appear when the gate of Fenru City opened on the fifteenth of next month. Before that, he would find a way to make Yu Sifeng break into the demon realm and rescue Wu Zhiqi. Ruo Yu worked beside Yuan Lang to see his sister.

For his sister's sake, he had to obey orders to monitor Chu Xuanji's movements. Brother Liu returned to Lize Palace to offer condolences, but was actually communicating with Yu Sifeng. He found a way to send everyone away and informed him of the news that Chu Xuanji was meeting in Qingmu Town. How could Yu Sifeng not go when Chu Xuanji invited him? After Chu Xuanji returned to Shaoyang, she kept the hairpin Yu Sifeng gave her by her side.

Zi Hu sent a message that Chu Xuanji needed Teng She to help her go to Qingmu Town. Chu Xuanji had not arrived, but Yu Sifeng was already waiting at the agreed place. Chu Xuanji did not break the appointment and met Yu Sifeng, but they could not meet face to face. Yu Sifeng had always wanted to tell Chu Xuanji the truth but didn't have time, and everything exploded at once.

Yu Sifeng could only apologize and promise not to deceive her again in the future. Chu Xuanji asked Yu Sifeng if he was involved in the Tianxu Hall plan and how much he knew about Yuan Lang's actions. Yu Sifeng knew nothing. The Master was his biological father, Yuan Lang was the head of Tianxu Hall and also the Deputy Master of Lize Palace. Yu Sifeng only learned all these things after the Hairpin Tournament.

It was also impossible for him to participate in the Tianxu Hall plan. Chu Xuanji believed what Yu Sifeng said, but what stood between them was more than just this one thing. The Master killed Chu Xuanji's mother, and how could Chu Xuanji forget what she saw on the spot?

Yu Sifeng anxiously explained that although the Master was trapped by love and became obsessed, doing wrong things, the person who killed Chu Xuanji's mother was not the Master but Yuan Lang. Chu Xuanji was willing to come out and meet Yu Sifeng after learning that the true culprit was not Yu Sifeng's father. Yu Sifeng promised to investigate the truth of Chu Xuanji's mother's death and bring the murderer before Chu Xuanji for her to handle as she wished.

Since the two were not in opposition, as long as Yu Sifeng was willing to abandon Lize Palace and return to Shaoyang with Chu Xuanji, Chu Xuanji could make everyone believe in Yu Sifeng. However, before his death, the Master entrusted Yu Sifeng to protect his clan. Yu Sifeng absolutely could not stand by and watch the clan be annihilated. The Golden Finch clan were not wicked and heinous beings.

Yu Sifeng wanted to save and protect them, but when Yu Sifeng was demonized, he would ask Chu Xuanji to kill him. Chu Xuanji's identity as the God of War was known to the immortal sects, and she had been nominated as the alliance leader to lead the immortal sects in killing demons. The first thing was to slaughter Lize Palace. Chu Xuanji would not stop her campaign just because Yu Sifeng was among them.

The blood of the disciples of the immortal sects could not be shed in vain. When Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng were in opposition, the two could only break off their relationship. Yu Sifeng was heartbroken that he could not sever ties with Chu Xuanji. He only asked Chu Xuanji for time to sort everything out. He would drive away Yuan Lang and reclaim Lize Palace, and he would also bear responsibility for the mistakes of Lize Palace.

Chu Xuanji could not immediately process and make a decision, so she could only leave. Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi went shopping to furnish their new home. Dianjing Vally disciples gathered in Shaoyang and ran into Chu Linglong. These so-called immortal sect members had dirty thoughts and blocked Chu Linglong, constantly humiliating her. These words were like knives stabbing into Chu Linglong's heart.

Even though Xiao Liuzi chased away the idle talk, Chu Linglong could not forget the pain Wu Tong had brought her. Fortunately, Xiao Liuzi deeply loved Chu Linglong and stayed by her side. Chu Linglong did not want to implicate Xiao Liuzi and also sought release for herself, so she left home alone to seek death. Xiao Liuzi could not find Chu Linglong by himself and had to return to Shaoyang for help.

Chu Lei did not yet know what grievances his daughter had suffered to reach this point and could only arrange for disciples to search for her. Since childhood, Chu Linglong would hide in a deserted place when she was angry. Xiao Liuzi then thought of this and rushed there. Chu Linglong had already decided to die. The river water covered Chu Linglong's body. Xiao Liuzi pulled Chu Linglong out of the water. Chu Linglong was so selfish.

Not only did Xiao Liuzi sacrifice his life to save her from Tianxu Hall, but there was also Chen Minjue who exchanged his life for hers. How many people would be sad if Chu Linglong died? Death could bring relief, but it would make those around her even more painful. Xiao Liuzi said that since Chu Linglong wanted to use death to find relief, then he would die before Chu Linglong.

This way, Chu Linglong would understand the pain of losing someone she loved dearly. Chu Linglong frantically pulled Xiao Liuzi, stopping him from seeking death. Xiao Liuzi awakened Chu Linglong with his suicidal intent. Only then did Chu Linglong understand that she was wrong. It was not Chu Linglong who was intimate with Wu Tong, so why should she hurt herself for a bad person's mistake? Chu Linglong was injured and sent to Shaoyang for treatment.

Chu Lei wanted Chu Xuanji to comfort Chu Linglong but found that Chu Xuanji was not there. Hao Chen interrogated Teng She and only then learned that Chu Xuanji had gone to Qingmu Town to find Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng had been infatuated for nine lifetimes and was still bitterly waiting for Chu Xuanji to return in this life. Zi Hu did not understand how a demon could be so unrestrained.

However, the mortal realm was in peril, and Yu Sifeng had responsibilities and could not leave. Brother Liu said that Tianxu Hall had obtained four spirit keys, and the three realms were about to be in chaos. Zi Hu worried that Yuan Lang would use Wu Zhiqi and wanted to find a way to steal the spirit keys. Hao Chen found Chu Xuanji and saw that he could not dissuade her.

He originally intended to deal with Yu Sifeng directly but was stopped by Chu Xuanji. Seeing that Chu Xuanji did not distinguish between good and evil for a demon, Hao Chen had to mention that Chu Linglong had almost committed suicide. Chu Xuanji was worried about Chu Linglong and could only go to see her first, but the hairpin she dropped accidentally was discovered by Hao Chen.

Chu Linglong had come to her senses but still prevented Chu Xuanji from being with Yu Sifeng. Chu Linglong had suffered greatly from demonic evils and refused to believe Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji could only agree not to look for Yu Sifeng.

Episode 41 Recap

Chu Xuanji was late in returning a clear answer to Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng was anxious and took the initiative to look for Chu Xuanji, but Chu Xuanji was worried about Chu Linglong's health and was no longer in her room. Yu Sifeng became more anxious when he couldn't find Chu Xuanji, until Xiao Yinhua produced the hairpin that Hao Chen had broken.

The hairpin was originally on Chu Xuanji, but the fact that it was destroyed and discarded meant that Chu Xuanji intended to abandon Yu Sifeng. Afterward, Zi Hu, Brother Liu, and Ting Nu were sealed by a barrier and surrounded by Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire. Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire was exclusive to the God of War, but that didn't mean Chu Xuanji released it. This misunderstanding was deliberately created by Hao Chen.

Siming descended to the mortal realm and informed Hao Chen that the God of War's life pillars had merged into one. This indicated that Chu Xuanji had developed feelings and was trapped by love, on the verge of becoming consumed by demonic energy and falling into the demon path. Hao Chen was glad he had used the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire on Yu Sifeng.

This fire was not meant to burn Yu Sifeng to death, but to create a rift between Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng, making Chu Xuanji personally sever her feelings. Hao Chen went to great lengths to help Chu Xuanji return to the heavenly realm, not hesitating to sacrifice the lives of others.

Yu Sifeng would not be easily harmed by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire, but breaking the barrier required some effort, and his hand was also burned by the fire. Yu Sifeng couldn't believe Chu Xuanji would do this to him and insisted on going to Shaoyang to get a clear explanation, refusing to listen to persuasion and determined to face his problems himself. When Chu Xuanji returned to Shaoyang, she was reprimanded by Chu Lei.

Chu Lei harbored deep hatred for the Golden Finch demons. When Chu Xuanji said she wanted to protect Yu Sifeng in front of him, Chu Lei slapped Chu Xuanji forcefully. In the eyes of these so-called righteous sects, humans and demons should be irreconcilable enemies, especially Chu Xuanji, the reincarnation of the God of War, who should be the main force in killing demons. Chu Xuanji was human; she could feel pain and distinguish right from wrong.

Even as the God of War, she did not want to become a killing tool. Chu Lei, despite his illness, forced Chu Xuanji to swear an oath to dedicate herself to eliminating demons and defending the righteous path, and to protect the peace of the three realms. Not only that, but he also threatened to kill himself if Chu Xuanji did not sever her emotional ties with Yu Sifeng.

In desperation, Chu Xuanji had no choice but to make a solemn vow. Yu Sifeng rushed to Shaoyang with great difficulty but overheard Chu Xuanji making her vow outside the door. To make matters worse, Hao Chen asked Chu Xuanji what she would do if she met Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji, enduring the pain, said that she and Yu Sifeng were irreconcilable enemies. Yu Sifeng believed it was true; it turned out the broken hairpin was Chu Xuanji's farewell.

Even so, Yu Sifeng did not blame Chu Xuanji for being heartless and respected her decision. Yu Sifeng unexpectedly discovered someone flashing into Shaoyang. He followed and found the person heading towards the Shaoyang secret realm. Yu Sifeng pursued to confirm it was Ruo Yu. Ruo Yu not having died after falling off the cliff indicated that he was one of Yuan Lang's people.

Ruo Yu was acting under Yuan Lang's orders, carrying coins that suppressed spiritual energy to avoid the Candel Dragon's aura and heading to the Shaoyang secret realm to search for the Crystal Lamp, in exchange for the opportunity to see his sister again. Seeing that his whereabouts were discovered, Ruo Yu took the opportunity to lure out the Candel Dragon. Yu Sifeng fought with the Candel Dragon and Ruo Yu.

Ruo Yu, caring only for his own life and death and disregarding the common people, ignored Yu Sifeng's persuasion and seized the chance to escape. The people of Shaoyang rushed to the secret realm just in time to see Yu Sifeng there and that he had killed the Candel Dragon. The misunderstanding between Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng deepened. Hao Chen instigated from the side that Yu Sifeng must have come to the secret realm to seize the Crystal Lamp.

Yu Sifeng did not explain much, only disappointed that Chu Xuanji concluded he came for the Crystal Lamp simply because of his demon identity. Yu Sifeng, unwilling for Chu Xuanji to misunderstand, only said that he was lured there by Ruo Yu. However, Xiao Liuzi had personally witnessed Ruo Yu falling off the cliff, so everyone concluded that Yu Sifeng was lying repeatedly. Seeing that Chu Xuanji refused to believe him, Yu Sifeng was powerless to explain.

The crowd wanted to punish Yu Sifeng, but Chu Xuanji ultimately could not bear it and protected him. Originally, the crowd was relentless, but Hengyang proposed imprisoning Yu Sifeng in Mingxia Cave and discussing how to deal with him after the masters of the other sects gathered. By this time, the spirit of the Candel Dragon had disappeared.

To guard the secret realm safely, only by Hengyang expending all his effort and receiving assistance from other guardians could it be possible. Yu Sifeng was imprisoned in Mingxia Cave. His hand, burned by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire, had not yet healed, and he was confined in an extremely cold place, which was truly agonizing for him. Xiao Yinhua could not communicate telepathically with Yu Sifeng and was worried about his situation.

Zi Hu was only concerned about Wu Zhiqi's safety and wanted to steal the four spirit keys. This method could not only rescue Wu Zhiqi but also make Yuan Lang powerless to do evil. Seeing that Zi Hu was determined, Ting Nu gave her the spirit beast Dang Kang. Brother Liu also drew a map for her showing the way to Lize Palace. The sects discussed how to reclaim the spirit keys.

There was still some time until the demon realm opened. Everyone decided to use Yu Sifeng to threaten Lize Palace into exchanging the spirit keys. Chu Xuanji searched everywhere but couldn't find the hairpin, guessing that Yu Sifeng must have come looking for her. She originally wanted to go find Yu Sifeng and ask for clarification, but Chu Linglong obstructed her and forbade Chu Xuanji from seeing him. Teng She broke the barrier outside Mingxia Cave.

Yu Sifeng thought it was Chu Xuanji going to check, but it turned out to be Teng She delivering a package for Chu Xuanji. Teng She laughed at Yu Sifeng, asking how a twelve-winged Golden Finch could be captured by mortals. He had witnessed the strength of a twelve-winged Golden Finch a thousand years ago. Changing the subject, he remembered his task was to ask Yu Sifeng for an explanation on behalf of Chu Xuanji.

Yu Sifeng, remembering Chu Xuanji's vow, was heartbroken and unwilling to explain. Suddenly, a strange wind swept through Mingxia Cave and attacked Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng used his spells to vigorously resist. Yuan Lang summoned the disciples of Lize Palace and announced that Lize Palace and Tianxu Hall were united as one. Shaoyang's letter proposing to exchange Yu Sifeng for the spirit keys was sent to Yuan Lang.

Yuan Lang would absolutely not exchange the spirit keys for Yu Sifeng and ordered the disciples who delivered the letter to have their heads cut off and sent to Shaoyang. The ones who delivered the letter were Xiao Liuzi and the eldest senior brother. Fortunately, Zi Hu arrived and rescued the two. Zi Hu learned that Shaoyang had indeed captured Yu Sifeng and explained Yu Sifeng's actions for him. Xiao Liuzi was facing a crisis of trust.

Although he didn't want anything bad to happen to Yu Sifeng, he didn't dare to fully trust Yu Sifeng either. Zi Hu mocked Yuan Lang, saying there was no way he would exchange the spirit keys for Yu Sifeng, and also ridiculed the righteous sects as useless. She requested the two of them to cooperate with her to help her enter Lize Palace and steal the spirit keys.

The two had no choice but to cooperate because of the spirit keys. Zi Hu led the two through the bitter water prison. The bitter water was ineffective against humans but harmful to demons. Zi Hu asked Xiao Liuzi to carry her across. Xiao Liuzi had already abandoned his prejudice against Zi Hu.

If he was willing to trust Zi Hu, why wouldn't he trust Yu Sifeng, who had been by his side day and night and gone through life and death with him many times? The three entered Lize Palace and saw Yuan Lang and his subordinate, the Star Master, observing the Stars of Rahu and Ketu. The two stars were constantly flashing, which meant that Demon Maleficent was summoning its heart and primordial spirit. Yuan Lang sensed that someone was eavesdropping.

Xiao Liuzi and the eldest senior brother's presence was exposed, but luckily Zi Hu released Dang Kang and rescued the two. Seeing that their presence was exposed, Xiao Liuzi and the eldest senior brother could not enter Lize Palace again and could only place their hopes on Zi Hu. The two rushed back to Shaoyang and reported what they had seen and heard in Lize Palace.

Xiao Liuzi originally wanted to speak up for Yu Sifeng but was dismissed by Hao Chen. Hengyang, despite summoning the Candel Dragon, could not suppress the Crystal Lamp and was injured. Hao Chen proposed having the God of War personally execute Yu Sifeng in front of everyone to extract his demon core and intimidate the demons. Hao Chen even disregarded his own safety and offered to personally enter the demon-locking formation to suppress Yu Sifeng's demonic power.

Chu Lei decided to actively enter the formation and threaten Chu Xuanji with his own life, certain that this would make her act against Yu Sifeng. Xiao Liuzi informed Chu Xuanji of the news, and the two discussed how to rescue Yu Sifeng.

Episode 42 Recap

Mingxia Cave required Ying Hong's red jade token to open. Xiao Liuzi lured away Ying Hong, and Chu Xuanji took the opportunity to steal the red jade token and entered Mingxia Cave to rescue Yu Sifeng. The two followed the plan and proceeded smoothly. Yu Sifeng had already suffered terribly and fainted in Mingxia Cave. Chu Xuanji rushed over, saw Yu Sifeng's state, felt instant heartache, flew over to support him and transfer true energy to him.

Yu Sifeng was injured by the Candel Dragon and trapped in Mingxia Cave. Seeing Chu Xuanji before him, his heart was cold and desolate. If Chu Xuanji wouldn't side with the cultivation sects against him, why would she come here? Actually, Chu Xuanji had been outside maintaining that Yu Sifeng had no relation to Tianxu Hall, but Yu Sifeng stubbornly thought that if Chu Xuanji didn't trust him, why would she come to save him?

Yu Sifeng was in danger, so naturally Chu Xuanji had to save him. Hao Chen was originally going to stop Chu Xuanji from taking Yu Sifeng away, but Chu Xuanji summoned Teng She to stop Hao Chen. Xiao Yinhua sensed Yu Sifeng's condition and knew he was in danger, rushing to rescue him. Chu Xuanji fled the secret realm with Yu Sifeng.

Yu Sifeng, with a cold heart, sarcastically asked Chu Xuanji if she wasn't afraid he coveted the Crystal Lamp. Chu Xuanji didn't want Yu Sifeng to die and would definitely not harm him; she was just conflicted about whether Yu Sifeng had lied to her. From beginning to end, Yu Sifeng had only concealed his demon identity. He hadn't lied about anything else.

If Chu Xuanji didn't believe him, there was nothing Yu Sifeng could do, but from now on, he would never explain again. Xiao Yinhua appeared and blamed Chu Xuanji for hurting Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng continued to speak coldly and sarcastically. Chu Xuanji had nothing to say and could only first send Yu Sifeng away. Hengyang and his disciples spent three days trying to summon the spirit of the Candel Dragon to guard the Crystal Lamp.

Just as they were about to succeed, Yuan Lang suddenly appeared in the secret realm to seize the Crystal Lamp. Hengyang's strength was no match, and he was severely injured by Yuan Lang. He could only use all his might to summon the spirit of the Candel Dragon. Hengyang fought with his life but was killed by Yuan Lang. Fortunately, the Candel Dragon was summoned and stopped Yuan Lang from taking the Crystal Lamp.

Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng were trapped on their escape route by a trap set by Chu Lei, Hao Chen, and others. The demon-slaying formation was intended to kill Yu Sifeng and extract his demon core. Hao Chen even publicly slandered Chu Xuanji, claiming she had helped lure Yu Sifeng out, resulting in their being trapped.

Seeing Chu Lei and others working together to set up the formation, Chu Xuanji pleaded bitterly, but couldn't make these people give up on killing Yu Sifeng. Chu Lei threatened her with his life again. Chu Xuanji didn't want anything to happen to either Yu Sifeng or her father, so she had no choice but to act. When Teng She arrived, he broke Yu Sifeng's predicament, but Chu Lei seized the opportunity to attack Yu Sifeng.

Chu Xuanji tried to shield Yu Sifeng from the sword but was blocked by Yu Sifeng instead. Yu Sifeng was wounded by the sword again. Chu Xuanji told Yu Sifeng that her vow was just to deceive her father. But Chu Xuanji's vital energy was strangely being absorbed. Demon realm flowers, Mandara, bloomed everywhere. The Star of Mosha's heart and soul were summoning its body.

Hao Chen emphasized that Yu Sifeng was Demon Maleficent, and his blood caused the flowers to bloom and absorb people's cultivation. Only Yu Sifeng noticed that it was Chu Xuanji's blood. Yu Sifeng realized that Chu Xuanji might be Demon Maleficent. Yu Sifeng voluntarily stepped forward and admitted he was the Star of Mosha, emphasizing that he came to eliminate the God of War. Chu Xuanji still couldn't believe it and stopped the fight between the two sides.

Teng She trapped everyone, giving Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng a chance to talk alone. Facing Chu Xuanji's questions, Yu Sifeng endured the pain and spoke hurtful lies. After speaking, Yu Sifeng turned and left. Yuan Lang, facing the Crystal Lamp, still couldn't withstand the power of the Star of Mosha. Meanwhile, everyone discovered that Ying Hong's meridians had been severed. Before fainting, she only left the three words "Lize Palace." Not only Ying Hong but also Hengyang had died.

Corpses were scattered everywhere. Everyone, in their grief, concluded it was Yu Sifeng's doing. Only Teng She was willing to help Chu Xuanji uncover the truth about the Star of Mosha. Everyone gathered in Shaoyang Hall again to discuss. The other sects were aggressive, demanding an explanation from Shaoyang. Chu Lei, taking responsibility for his daughter, severed one of his fingers and passed the position of Shaoyang sect leader to Hao Chen.

The other sects still wouldn't let go and insisted on holding Chu Xuanji fully accountable. Hao Chen seized the opportunity to propose that Chu Xuanji was unrelated to Yu Sifeng and should marry him instead. To dispel others' concerns, Chu Lei readily agreed and forced Chu Xuanji to consent. Chu Xuanji punished herself in Mingxia Cave, thinking of Yu Sifeng and those who had died because of him.

Even though she couldn't link the two, Yu Sifeng's personal admission made her have to believe it. Chu Xuanji sealed herself in a barrier, wanting to be clear-headed alone. Xiao Liuzi and Chu Linglong also couldn't persuade her. Hao Chen took advantage of Chu Xuanji's confused state to shatter her last shred of trust in Yu Sifeng, denying that Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng's past interactions were all fake.

Hao Chen, wanting to possess Chu Xuanji, deliberately twisted her words when Chu Xuanji spoke of heartache, saying that the God of War's heartache was only for the world's people, not for anyone specific, that heartache arose from inner demons, and could only be resolved by killing Yu Sifeng. A thousand years ago, it was Hao Chen who had actively given up on Chu Xuanji.

Possessiveness drove him to want to have Chu Xuanji all to himself, wanting Chu Xuanji to listen only to him. Although Hao Chen shed tears for Chu Xuanji, perhaps even he didn't understand true love. Ruo Yu informed Yuan Lang of what he had seen in the secret realm. Based on the Mandara flowers and the heavenly realm mark on Yu Sifeng, Yuan Lang speculated that Yu Sifeng might be Demon Maleficent.

But the Star of Mosha had been sealed for a thousand years. Now, Yu Sifeng's demonic nature hadn't manifested, nor had his ferocity erupted, possibly related to his heart and soul being sealed. Yuan Lang, however, didn't understand why Yu Sifeng admitted to being the Star of Mosha. Little did he know, Yu Sifeng had long decided to impersonate Demon Maleficent to manipulate Yuan Lang and disrupt his plan.

Yu Sifeng impersonated Demon Maleficent to deceive and obtain the spirit keys, using the excuse of using the spirit keys to rescue Wu Zhiqi, then instructing Wu Zhiqi to use the Juntian Cehai to open the Crystal Lamp. Only then could his heart and soul return, and the great cause of the demon realm would be just around the corner.

Yuan Lang was half-believing and half-doubting Yu Sifeng's identity as Demon Maleficent, but upon hearing that Yu Sifeng intended to venture into the demon realm, he believed it by three parts. Yu Sifeng was anxious to get the spirit keys and act immediately. Yuan Lang, not completely trusting him, postponed the action time. Regardless of whether Yu Sifeng was Demon Maleficent, before he showed his demonic nature and ferocity, he was just Yu Sifeng.

Xiao Yinhua didn't understand why Yu Sifeng admitted to being the Star of Mosha. Chu Xuanji had already ignored him, so why would he still shield her from everything? Yu Sifeng's heart was filled with righteousness. Back then, after the God of War captured Wu Zhiqi, she glared angrily at the heavenly realm. There must have been something strange going on.

Yu Sifeng was using this to investigate, not just for Chu Xuanji but also to protect his Golden Finch clansmen. Yu Sifeng kept Chu Xuanji's blood on his person for later use and began his plan.

Episode 43 Recap

Chu Xuanji woke up from her self-torment, looking haggard. Chu Xuanji still did not agree to the marriage contract with Hao Chen. Hao Chen expressed his intentions, planning to let Chu Xuanji know everything in the heavenly realm. Of course, he concealed the past of hatred, letting Chu Xuanji see the past between the two a thousand years ago from the Mirror of Ten Thousand Tribulations.

Back then, Hao Chen, as King Bailin, created the God of War and tied a red string around the God of War's pillar of fate. The God of War was infatuated with King Bailin and planned to give him the flower of destiny. As expected, Hao Chen, full of schemes, concealed the memories that would ignite Chu Xuanji's hatred and ferocity. He also pretended to be magnanimous, stating he would wait for the day Chu Xuanji awakens.

After that, he subtly used his duty of guarding the secret realm to force Chu Xuanji to cultivate the Dao of Sentimental Love with him. The highest realm of the Dao of Sentimental Love allows two people whose hearts are connected to share spiritual power. If this cultivation is successful, Hao Chen could also use Chu Xuanji's power as the God of War to deal with demons. Yu Sifeng forced his way into the Sacred Garden.

Yuan Lang was still using his Soul Refining Cauldron to absorb the vital energy of more of his clansmen. The day the Soul Refining Cauldron was successful would be the day he seized the power of the God of War. Yuan Lang, hearing that Yu Sifeng had forced his way into the Sacred Garden, rushed there, leaving the Soul Refining Cauldron in place. Zi Hu discovered Yuan Lang secretly sneaking in to check.

She accidentally touched the Soul Refining Cauldron, was injured, and bled, which Ruo Yu noticed. Yu Sifeng entered the Sacred Garden precisely to use Chu Xuanji's blood to verify if the demon realm flowers could bloom again. Firstly, to confirm that Chu Xuanji was indeed the Star of Mosha, and secondly, to make Yuan Lang fully believe that he himself was the Star of Mosha.

When everyone saw that Yu Sifeng's blood could awaken the demon realm flowers, they all submitted. The demon realm had always been the home of the Golden Finch clan. A thousand years ago, they signed a contract with the King Asura of the demon race and had always followed the King Asura to achieve great things. The people of Lize Palace respected Yu Sifeng as the Demon Lord.

Yu Sifeng used his identity to order Yuan Lang to hand over the Golden Feather Token. At first, Yuan Lang refused to hand over the token, treating Yu Sifeng as superior. Yu Sifeng pointed out that Yuan Lang was originally the demon race's right envoy serving the Demon Lord closely, so with this identity, how could he disobey the Demon Lord's command? Yuan Lang had no choice but to obediently hand over the Golden Feather Token and submit.

Yu Sifeng, awakening with the identity of the Star of Mosha, commanded all demon races to obey him. Yuan Lang lost power and became a subordinate under Yu Sifeng. His purpose in resurrecting the Star of Mosha was to lead the demon race to overthrow the three realms and become the supreme ruler. Yuan Lang was full of resentment and anger. The Soul Refining Cauldron was his only hope.

Upon hearing that the Soul Refining Cauldron was almost stolen, he vented his anger on Ruo Yu. Ruo Yu almost lost his life there. Outside the Sacred Garden, Zi Hu personally witnessed Yu Sifeng admitting to being the Demon Lord. Afterwards, Yu Sifeng discovered her whereabouts. Yu Sifeng clarified to Zi Hu that all along he only wanted to be Yu Sifeng.

As for Yuan Lang, since their intentions were different, he would naturally not tell him the whereabouts of the spirit keys. Zi Hu was half-believing and half-doubting, and also informed him about Yuan Lang using his clansmen to refine the cauldron. Yu Sifeng was completely unaware and hated that he couldn't kill Yuan Lang. Zi Hu believed Yu Sifeng but wanted even more to cooperate with him to rescue Wu Zhiqi.

Although Wu Zhiqi had become the demon realm's left envoy out of brotherly loyalty, he had no desire for power or honor at all. Furthermore, Zi Hu had already informed Wu Zhiqi about Yuan Lang framing him. Wu Zhiqi, hating betrayal, would only seek revenge on Yuan Lang. Since Wu Zhiqi wanted revenge, he could become Yu Sifeng's best ally. Yu Sifeng would naturally find a way to obtain the spirit keys.

Although Yuan Lang was angry that someone wanted to steal the Soul Refining Cauldron, he was fortunate that it was still there. Yuan Lang did not want to oppose the demon races and had no choice but to submit to Yu Sifeng. Not only the Golden Feather Token but also the spirit keys would have to be handed over.

After all, unleashing the full power of the resurrected Star of Mosha and causing widespread destruction was also what Yuan Lang wished for. However, he still needed to confirm Yu Sifeng's resolve to oppose the human race and quickly use the Soul Refining Cauldron to absorb the God of War's power. He planned to create a grand spectacle on the day Yu Sifeng took the position of Palace Master.

Chu Xuanji was cultivating the Dao of Sentimental Love with Hao Chen. Hao Chen and Chu Xuanji's hearts were connected, and their spiritual power was interlinked. Once the technique was complete, Hao Chen could use the power of the God of War to attack Lize Palace. Yuan Lang, impersonating Yu Sifeng, sent a challenge letter, forcing the immortal sects to hand over the Crystal Lamp.

Every word in the challenge letter pierced Chu Xuanji's heart, reinforcing her fellow disciples' determination to eliminate demons. Chu Xuanji also had no choice but to resolve to attack Lize Palace on the day Yu Sifeng takes over, to purge the demon race, and even slay the Star of Mosha with her sword. Teng She returned to the heavenly realm and saw that the God of War's pillar of fate was shattered.

He guessed that it was caused by Chu Xuanji developing inner demons because of Yu Sifeng. He then decided to consult the jade slips collected by Siming, which contained records of all gods and demons within the three realms. From there, he would surely be able to uncover Yu Sifeng's true identity. Yu Sifeng, as the Demon Lord, took over the position of Master of Lize Palace.

Yuan Lang spoke before Yu Sifeng to boost the morale of the Lize Palace people. Yu Sifeng had already summoned other demon races. The leaders of each demon race obeyed Yu Sifeng's commands. Since Yu Sifeng intended to control the demons of Tianxu Hall, how could Yuan Lang refuse? With this, Yu Sifeng planned to clean house. Ruo Yu and Wu Tong were the first to face this.

To avoid being implicated by the two, Yuan Lang intended to kill them. However, Yu Sifeng spoke up to spare their lives and instead had them locked up in the water dungeon. Wu Tong tried to escape but was caught by Yu Sifeng and brought back.

With the house cleaning complete, Yu Sifeng had no more worries and proposed to quickly use the spirit keys to rescue Wu Zhiqi, so that the Star of Mosha's physical body and heart and soul could merge into one. Just as Yu Sifeng was about to force Yuan Lang to hand over the spirit keys, the immortal sects gathered outside Lize Palace, preparing to break the barrier.

Yu Sifeng thought that Lize Palace had suffered heavy losses in the last battle and was not suitable for war. He only needed the three elders to bring their inner disciples to meet the immortal sects inside the barrier. Chu Xuanji used the power of the immortal sects to break the barrier. Yu Sifeng appeared in front of the main gate and spoke to Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji threw the challenge letter back.

Yu Sifeng denied sending the challenge letter, but instead used sarcastic words to provoke Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji still did not give up and questioned if Yu Sifeng, as the Star of Mosha, had truly been deceiving her all along. Yu Sifeng hardened his heart and did not explain further. To avoid widespread casualties, Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji fought alone. Yu Sifeng would never have the heart to kill her, but he was wounded by Chu Xuanji.

Yu Sifeng questioned if the marriage contract between Chu Xuanji and Hao Chen was true. Chu Xuanji sarcastically replied that whether it was true or false was no longer important, as they were already enemies. Yu Sifeng saw that Chu Xuanji was resolute in breaking off their feelings, but he also could not lose the battle and cause his clansmen to die.

Episode 44 Recap

Yuan Lang was preparing inside the formation to use the Soul Refining Cauldron to absorb the power of the God of War. Unexpectedly, the barrier was broken by Hao Chen, who drew Yu Sifeng out for a duel before the formation, while sending people to launch a sneak attack from behind and slaughter the people of Lize Palace.

The fact that Hao Chen and Chu Xuanji were cultivating the Dao of Sentimental Love together and their spiritual power was linked caused Yu Sifeng heartache. To save his clansmen, Yu Sifeng revealed his true form as the twelve-feathered Golden Finch. Hao Chen provoked Yu Sifeng, saying he would kill him at his wedding banquet with Chu Xuanji as a celebratory offering to heaven and earth. Yu Sifeng protected his clansmen and retreated into Lize Palace.

He then enclosed the immortal sect disciples and Hao Chen within a Golden Bell Shield. If the immortal sects continued to trespass into Lize Palace, Yu Sifeng would activate the Golden Bell Shield and take the lives of everyone inside. The former Yu Sifeng only thought the immortal sects were stubborn and old-fashioned; now he realized they were also despicable and selfish.

Hao Chen didn't want to let Yu Sifeng go and was willing to sacrifice his own life for Chu Xuanji to attack Lize Palace. But Chu Xuanji was different; the lives of all beings in the world were precious. Chu Xuanji decided to withdraw from Lize Palace in exchange for everyone's lives. ---- Yu Sifeng returned to the palace to retrieve magical treasures to break the Golden Bell Shield, but the palace was in a state of devastation.

The young demons who had not yet cultivated were all slaughtered. This was all Hao Chen's doing; such ruthlessness was not the method of a righteous path. Facing this blood feud, Yu Sifeng would no longer let Hao Chen go. Yu Sifeng retrieved the four divine artifacts and released Hao Chen, intending to kill him personally. The immortal sects outside the palace were still slandering Yu Sifeng.

When Yu Sifeng appeared and rebuked the immortal sects for their hypocrisy, Xiao Liuzi, who knew the secret passage of Lize Palace, led Hao Chen in and killed the innocent young disciples of Lize Palace. Yu Sifeng could not leave this vengeance unfulfilled. The four divine artifacts transformed into the Suppressing Prison Divine Blade for Yu Sifeng to use. The released Hao Chen intended to join forces with Chu Xuanji, using the Dao of Sentimental Love, to fight Yu Sifeng.

Yu Sifeng faced Chu Xuanji and was severely wounded by a sword strike from Hao Chen, who attacked from behind. Chu Xuanji saw Yu Sifeng's severe injury and a crack appeared in the Dao of Sentimental Love. Yu Sifeng broke free from Hao Chen's attack and counterattacked, plunging the divine blade into Hao Chen's body. Hao Chen was struck down. Xiao Yinhua saw Yu Sifeng was in danger and stepped forward to injure Chu Xuanji but was repelled by her.

When Chu Xuanji saw Hao Chen was injured by Yu Sifeng, the two returned to the ground together. Chu Xuanji was completely disappointed and willingly said the words to break ties with Yu Sifeng. Ting Nu treated Yu Sifeng's injuries. Liu Yihuan felt frustrated that Yu Sifeng was not living up to his potential. Why did Yu Sifeng disregard everything to impersonate the Star of Mosha?

To go to such lengths for Chu Xuanji, would he ultimately see the light after the storm or fall into an abyss and be shattered? Liu Yihuan understood that Yu Sifeng's reckless actions could only be for the sake of concealing Chu Xuanji's identity; there was no other reason.

Since the first time he met Chu Xuanji, his heavenly eye could not see her past or future, but he never expected that Chu Xuanji was actually the true Star of Mosha. Yu Sifeng always protected Chu Xuanji. Liu Yihuan also felt heartbroken for Yu Sifeng; his sword wound was incredibly painful, and the Lover's Curse could flare up again at any time. Yu Sifeng still thought about explaining everything clearly to Chu Xuanji after everything was over.

By then, Chu Xuanji would surely forgive him. Xiao Yinhua injured Chu Xuanji during the battle. Yu Sifeng didn't want anyone to hurt her, including spirit beasts. Xiao Yinhua was loyal to her master; as long as someone hurt her master, no matter who they were, she would risk her own life to kill them.

Yu Sifeng saw Xiao Yinhua's fierce hostility and her refusal to obey, and threatened to cut off one of his arms to sever the master-servant contract with Xiao Yinhua. Xiao Yinhua did not want Yu Sifeng to harm himself and willingly took out her essence blood and gave it to Yu Sifeng's hand. Disregarding the unreleased blood contract, she forcibly left. From beginning to end, Xiao Yinhua only cared about Yu Sifeng.

Ting Nu treated the injuries of the people of Lize Palace. Yuan Lang, who stood by during the great battle, now appeared again, sarcastically mocking Liu Yihuan for leaking the secret passage of Lize Palace. Yu Sifeng decided it was time to deal with Yuan Lang. The challenge letter was sent by Yuan Lang in Yu Sifeng's name to Shaoyang, deliberately drawing war when Lize Palace needed time to recuperate.

He did this because he was unhappy with Yu Sifeng's succession. Questioned by Yu Sifeng in this manner, Yuan Lang was afraid of incurring public wrath and knelt down to beg for mercy, explaining that he only wanted to verify if Yu Sifeng had broken off his feelings with the God of War. Yu Sifeng saw that Yuan Lang was suppressed by him and seized the opportunity to propose entering the demon realm with him to rescue Wu Zhiqi.

However, Yuan Lang, not being a demon, would be harmed by the malevolent energy if he entered the demon realm. Therefore, only Yu Sifeng could enter with the spirit keys. To buy time, Yuan Lang insisted they wait until Yu Sifeng's injuries had healed before taking action. Yu Sifeng could wait for a day or two. Hao Chen was injured by the divine blade and needed several days to recuperate.

Chu Xuanji was worried about his injuries and wanted to visit him. To make Chu Xuanji feel guilty, Hao Chen deliberately blocked her at the door and refused to see her. Chu Xuanji then decided to wait outside his door every day. Xiao Liuzi thought about what Yu Sifeng had said during the great battle and felt very troubled. He could only comfort himself by thinking that they were just demons.

Just then, a junior sister came to ask Xiao Liuzi for guidance. The two looked quite well-matched together. Chu Linglong looked at the beautiful scene before her and remembered the grave mistake she had made by associating with demons. She felt that she was no longer suitable for Xiao Liuzi and tried repeatedly to let go of her feelings. However, Xiao Liuzi remained devoted to her, which frustrated Chu Linglong greatly.

Teng She continued to search for information about the Star of Mosha. He accidentally discovered that King Bailin had also reviewed the Star of Mosha's records. He opened the jade slips to check and found that they contained information about the God of War, but the origin of the God of War was completely missing. Just as Teng She was exploring out of curiosity, Qinglong came looking for him again to tease him.

Teng She did not want to get entangled with him and seized the opportunity to escape. Yu Sifeng was not the Star of Mosha, yet he insisted on forcing his way into the demon realm, disregarding his own safety. Zi Hu had only just learned that Yu Sifeng was not the Star of Mosha. However, Yu Sifeng's ability and determination gave Zi Hu more confidence in cooperating with him. Zi Hu would go with Yu Sifeng.

Ting Nu had spirit medicine that could help Yu Sifeng last for a while in the demon realm ruins. Coupled with Zi Hu's thousand years of cultivation, the two of them would surely be able to rescue Wu Zhiqi from the demon realm ruins and return safely. Chu Xuanji finally saw Hao Chen, but Hao Chen pretended to be disappointed and angry. Since the Dao of Sentimental Love was broken, it could no longer be cultivated.

As long as Chu Xuanji could not let go of Yu Sifeng, she would endanger the immortal sects. Hao Chen spoke at length, recounting the blood feud between the righteous path and those important to Chu Xuanji, which made Chu Xuanji feel hatred towards Yu Sifeng.

Episode 45 Recap

Chu Xuanji saw that Hao Chen was still severely injured and not yet recovered. She admitted she had trusted the wrong person and wanted to go to Lize Palace to settle accounts with Yu Sifeng. Hao Chen did not want Chu Xuanji to act impulsively seeking revenge and harm herself. He told her that the fifteenth was approaching, and Yu Sifeng would surely go to Fenru City to rescue Wu Zhiqi.

He said that the malevolent energy of the demon realm could only be resisted by Chu Xuanji's power as the God of War and Yu Sifeng's twelve-feathered Golden Finch form. If she truly wanted to sever her inner demons, Chu Xuanji could go and make a clean break with Yu Sifeng on that day.

To prevent Chu Xuanji from softening, Hao Chen took out the so-called Bottle of Pure Qi and told Chu Xuanji that she must choose at that time whether to kill Yu Sifeng or purify the malevolent energy in him. Chu Xuanji seemed determined to get rid of her inner demons and took the Bottle of Pure Qi.

Chu Linglong had originally planned to bid farewell to her father and roam the world alone, but Xiao Liuzi had already proposed to Chu Lei and now proposed marriage again in front of Chu Linglong. Xiao Liuzi loved Chu Linglong, whether she was her past self or her current self; no matter what she changed into, he would not let go. Chu Linglong crossed the hurdle in her heart and was touched, agreeing to the proposal.

To prevent Chu Linglong from being criticized by others, Xiao Liuzi decided to marry Chu Linglong as soon as possible. Chu Lei also agreed to hold weddings for both Chu Linglong and Chu Xuanji five days later. Yu Sifeng brought Yuan Lang and others to the border of the demon realm. This place was filled with malevolent energy, making it impossible for Yuan Lang and the others to enter.

Yuan Lang could only hand the spirit keys to Yu Sifeng, but he told Yu Sifeng that he would "take care of Liu Yihuan and Ting Nu" for him, using this to threaten Yu Sifeng not to play tricks behind his back. Yu Sifeng took the medicine developed by Ting Nu to resist the malevolent energy and ventured into the demon realm alone with the four spirit keys.

Yu Sifeng opened the gate of Fenru City and was about to enter when Chu Xuanji, wearing the God of War's armor, erected a barrier outside Fenru City to stop Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng did not want to fight Chu Xuanji. After provoking Chu Xuanji with a few words, he entered Fenru City. Chu Xuanji entered the hall and shouted, causing the Asura malevolent spirits to stir everywhere.

Yu Sifeng still did not attack Chu Xuanji; only Chu Xuanji was aggressive. The Asura malevolent spirits in the hall continuously attacked the two of them. Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji had no choice but to work together to deal with the Asura malevolent spirits. After Yu Sifeng dealt with them, he disappeared directly. ---- Yu Sifeng arrived at the mural depicting the heavenly realm battle one step before Chu Xuanji.

The mural showed that the God of War and the Star of Mosha were the same person. Yu Sifeng worried that Chu Xuanji would discover the truth, so he destroyed the mural and erased the traces. However, this action made Chu Xuanji misunderstand that Yu Sifeng was determined to destroy even the God of War in the mural. Yu Sifeng was anxious to rescue Wu Zhiqi but was relentlessly pursued by Chu Xuanji.

Even though Yu Sifeng was injured by the malevolent energy of the Bone Melting Pool, he did not receive Chu Xuanji's sympathy. Chu Xuanji wanted to take Yu Sifeng back to Shaoyang to give an explanation to the immortal sects. Yu Sifeng, however, had always kept his promise and investigated the matter of Chu Xuanji's mother being harmed.

He found that in the past thousand years, only Yuan Lang had been bestowed malevolent energy by the King Asura, and Chu Xuanji's mother was also harmed by malevolent energy. However, with only a shred of evidence and without bringing Yuan Lang before Chu Xuanji, Chu Xuanji still could not believe Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng had difficulty speaking his mind and was not understood by Chu Xuanji. But the full moon appeared, and rescuing Wu Zhiqi was imminent.

However, Chu Xuanji obstructed him, so Yu Sifeng had no choice but to pretend that malevolent energy had entered his body and he was weak, tricking Chu Xuanji into picking green lotus for him. Chu Xuanji felt pity for Yu Sifeng and helped him pick the green lotus. Yu Sifeng was about to enter the demon realm but was discovered by Chu Xuanji again. Chu Xuanji, having been deceived again, no longer trusted Yu Sifeng.

But demons appeared again, and the two had to join forces once more to resolve the danger. Seeing that the demon realm was open and Chu Xuanji was repeatedly obstructing him, Yu Sifeng could only seize the opportunity to throw the spirit keys to Zi Hu. Zi Hu entered the demon realm and successfully opened the Dinghai Iron Chains with the spirit keys.

Covered in malevolent energy and injuries, Zi Hu finally saw Wu Zhiqi, whom she had longed for day and night. After being unbound, Wu Zhiqi regained his senses and recognized Zi Hu. Before she fainted, Zi Hu said that Yu Sifeng had rescued Wu Zhiqi. Wu Zhiqi, knowing he was indebted, flew up into the demon realm. Wu Zhiqi was rescued, and a streak of red light shot up from the demon realm.

Because of this, Hao Chen and Chu Lei also learned that Wu Zhiqi had been saved. Yu Sifeng finally clarified in front of Chu Xuanji that he was not the Star of Mosha, and that everything he did was to protect the person he cared about most. Yu Sifeng still hoped that one day he could be with Chu Xuanji again. Chu Xuanji felt reluctance, love, and trust.

She thought that Yu Sifeng had changed, and she only wanted him to become good again and return to the past. So, she offered up the Bottle of Pure Qi given to her by Hao Chen, hoping to eliminate the malevolent energy in Yu Sifeng. However, the Bottle of Pure Qi only made Yu Sifeng increasingly suffer. By the time the Bottle of Pure Qi severely injured Yu Sifeng, Chu Xuanji tried every method to undo it but was powerless.

Chu Xuanji could only watch as Yu Sifeng became increasingly painful inside the bottle. It was not until Wu Zhiqi appeared and told Chu Xuanji that this was the Vermilion Bird Bottle, which could turn immortals into thick liquid. The Vermilion Bird Bottle was incredibly cruel and vicious. Fortunately, Wu Zhiqi used the Juntian Cehai to shatter the Vermilion Bird Bottle and break the confinement. Yu Sifeng was only severely injured but his life was not in danger.

However, no matter how much Chu Xuanji cried out for Yu Sifeng, Wu Zhiqi insisted on taking his savior, Yu Sifeng, away. Wu Zhiqi took Yu Sifeng out of the demon realm and saw Yuan Lang waiting outside. Yuan Lang's happiness and solicitous greetings seemed so fake to Wu Zhiqi. Wu Zhiqi naturally saw that Yuan Lang's aim was nothing more than the Juntian Cehai.

Then, disregarding Yuan Lang's face, he took Yu Sifeng back to Lize Palace first for healing. After the group left, the mural depicting the heavenly realm battle shattered, revealing the truth about the identities of the Star of Mosha and the God of War within. Yuan Lang hosted a banquet at Lize Palace to celebrate Wu Zhiqi's success. Wu Zhiqi was very late, and when he finally arrived, he was furious at everyone.

His savior, Yu Sifeng, was still critically ill, so Wu Zhiqi destroyed the banquet and forcibly tried to take Ting Nu away to heal Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng had been poisoned by the blood mist from the Vermilion Bird Bottle and the malevolent energy from the demon realm. To save Yu Sifeng, two demons with comparable demonic power were needed to force out the malevolent energy. Currently, only Wu Zhiqi and Yuan Lang met the requirements.

Yuan Lang was reluctant to act, using the excuse of doubting Yu Sifeng's identity. Wu Zhiqi argued reasonably, stating that among the three realms, the only one who could survive being injured by the Vermilion Bird Bottle and still hold on until now was the Star of Mosha. As for Yuan Lang's unwillingness to save him, it raised suspicion about his intentions. Was he perhaps going to betray the demon race again, just like a thousand years ago?

Yuan Lang worried about public opinion and feared Wu Zhiqi knowing the truth of that year, so he had no choice but to agree to go. Teng She confused the guards and entered King Bailin's bedchamber to search for information about the God of War. As soon as he found the information about the God of War, Qinglong discovered him and took him away. Yu Sifeng had walked through the gates of hell once again.

Brother Liu was frustrated by his inability to meet expectations. Even if Chu Xuanji did not know many truths, using something as vicious as the Vermilion Bird Bottle against Yu Sifeng surely meant she harbored killing intent. Yu Sifeng still held onto hope for Chu Xuanji, futilely attempting to solve everything and shield Chu Xuanji from the painful truth in exchange for her trust again.

Episode 46 Recap

Yu Sifeng saw a mural in the demon realm and learned that the God of War and the Star of Mosha were the same person, and there was another truth to the heavenly realm battle back then. Yu Sifeng feared no death and was willing to trade his life in this world for Chu Xuanji's eternal liberation.

The only way was to ask Wu Zhiqi for help to prevent the convergence of the Star of Rahu and the Star of Ketu. Wu Zhiqi was a person of deep emotion and true nature; to gain his help, Yu Sifeng planned to be honest with him. Liu Yihuan saw that he could not persuade Yu Sifeng to give up on Chu Xuanji, so he could only reluctantly try his best to help Yu Sifeng.

The entire Shaoyang sect was preparing for the weddings of Chu Xuanji and Hao Chen, and Chu Linglong and Xiao Liuzi. Chu Xuanji questioned Hao Chen why he had deceived her. Hao Chen defended himself eloquently, saying it was to help Chu Xuanji cut off an unending karmic entanglement. As for the relationship between himself and Chu Xuanji, it was a destiny ordained by heaven, which no one could defy.

Chu Xuanji questioned destiny, asking why destiny would playfully arrange nine lifetimes of love between herself and Yu Sifeng. Hao Chen repeatedly denied the connection between Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng, but Chu Xuanji had indeed loved Yu Sifeng, and the affection given, even if taken back, could not be given to anyone else. No matter what Hao Chen said, Chu Xuanji would not marry Hao Chen.

Seeing that Chu Xuanji was unwilling to marry him, Hao Chen could only instruct Chu Xuanji that if one day she could not protect the Crystal Lamp, she must destroy it with her own hands. This was another grand discourse about the common people of the world. Hao Chen clearly knew that the core spirit within the Crystal Lamp belonged to Chu Xuanji when she was the Star of Mosha.

On the surface, he said it was to prevent Yu Sifeng from falling into the demon path, but in reality, it was to prevent Chu Xuanji from remembering everything King Bailin had done to her. Chu Xuanji, unaware of the truth, firmly agreed. Before Yu Sifeng's injuries were fully healed, he invited Wu Zhiqi for a discussion.

Because Yu Sifeng had saved him, Wu Zhiqi had already regarded him as a brother and would go through fire and water to accomplish three important things for Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng requested Wu Zhiqi not to hand over the Juntian Cehai to Yuan Lang under any circumstances. Yu Sifeng was honest with Wu Zhiqi, and Wu Zhiqi readily agreed.

Wu Zhiqi asked Yu Sifeng three questions and learned that Yu Sifeng did not want to open the Crystal Lamp, and that Yu Sifeng was not the true Star of Mosha; the Star of Mosha was someone else. Yu Sifeng asked Wu Zhiqi if he also did not want to resurrect the Star of Mosha. Wu Zhiqi, being free-spirited by nature, was originally unwilling to be commanded by the Star of Mosha.

Even if the Star of Mosha could make the demon race mighty, Wu Zhiqi still felt happier with the current life. Yu Sifeng then inquired from Wu Zhiqi about the Soul Refining Cauldron. Wu Zhiqi explained the various principles and powers of the Soul Refining Cauldron, concluding that Yuan Lang must intend to use this cauldron to absorb the God of War's power and open the Crystal Lamp.

Wu Zhiqi held both new and old grudges against Yuan Lang and planned to let Yuan Lang continue using the Soul Refining Cauldron, so that he would eventually suffer the consequences and be harmed by it himself. Yu Sifeng agreed to Wu Zhiqi's plan, but for the plan to be successfully implemented, they still needed to gain Yuan Lang's trust. Wu Zhiqi was righteous and greatly admired Yu Sifeng, promising to accomplish whatever Yu Sifeng asked.

The two were about to drink heartily, but Zi Hu suddenly appeared and clung affectionately to Wu Zhiqi, making Yu Sifeng quite envious. Afterwards, Wu Zhiqi found Yuan Lang and drank happily with him, chatting about how the demon race's grand plan was ruined due to the appearance of the God of War back then. Wu Zhiqi vowed to kill the God of War first for revenge and then restore the demon race's grand plan, thereby gaining Yuan Lang's trust.

Hao Chen's mortal body did not have much time left. However, Chu Xuanji had failed her trials through all nine lifetimes, and this was her last one. If she desired love, Hao Chen would not hesitate to guide her through it with love; if she developed inner demons, Hao Chen would try every method to remove them for her. But with Chu Xuanji's repeated defiance, Hao Chen was powerless to change things to this point.

Hao Chen did not want to see Chu Xuanji become a demon and suffer eternal damnation, so he would rather cruelly destroy her. Therefore, even though he was reluctant, he decided to destroy both the God of War and the Star of Mosha before returning to the heavenly realm. Yuan Lang quickly gathered the demons of the demon realm to prepare for a rise.

Yu Sifeng and Wu Zhiqi praised and appeased Yuan Lang greatly at the banquet and entrusted him with the affairs of Lize Palace, thereby gaining Yuan Lang's further trust.

Furthermore, they displayed their resentment towards the God of War in front of Yuan Lang, leading Yuan Lang to promise to personally set up an array to capture the God of War and plan to gather at Shaoyang three days later to kill the God of War and take her core spirit. Yuan Lang entered the dungeon and released Ruo Yu, ordering him to closely watch Yu Sifeng.

He also released Wu Tong and took him to observe the Asura malevolent spirits. Only then did Wu Tong realize that Yuan Lang was going to use him as a stepping stone to control the Asura malevolent spirits. But it was too late; Wu Tong tried to escape but was instead struck by Yuan Lang and fell into the demon realm's black pool.

Immediately after, Yuan Lang released the malevolent energy of the Asura General and injected it into corpses to resurrect the Asura malevolent spirits. On the other side, Yu Sifeng also knew that Yuan Lang did not completely trust him, but this was necessary to eliminate Yuan Lang. Xiao Yinhua quietly visited Yu Sifeng inside Lize Palace and felt relieved after confirming his safety. Because Xiao Yinhua had been away from Yu Sifeng for too long, her spiritual energy was insufficient.

Ruo Yu discovered Xiao Yinhua and was anxious to transfer energy to her. However, Xiao Yinhua hated Ruo Yu for siding with Yuan Lang and originally intended to kill him but fainted due to insufficient spiritual energy. Ruo Yu took the opportunity to send Xiao Yinhua to Yu Sifeng's chambers. Yu Sifeng learned of Xiao Yinhua's return and guarded the bedside, waiting for her to wake up.

Yu Sifeng felt that his tone that day was too harsh and now agreed to let Xiao Yinhua come back. However, Xiao Yinhua was still unwilling to forgive Chu Xuanji. She had even developed feelings for Yu Sifeng that were different from master-servant affection, specifically romantic love. Yu Sifeng only regarded Xiao Yinhua as a spirit beast or a good friend. If Xiao Yinhua could not resolve her feelings, she would have to leave.

Xiao Yinhua, with nowhere for her affection to go, could only leave in tears. Yuan Lang's array was ready. He came before Yu Sifeng again to test his resolve in killing Chu Xuanji. Yu Sifeng declared that he would attack Shaoyang and personally capture Chu Xuanji to avenge his grievances. Yuan Lang confirmed the plan and returned to the palace, instructing Ruo Yu to keep an eye on Chu Xuanji and ensure she entered the array.

Although Wu Tong fell into the demon realm's black pool, he did not die. He had now transformed into a half-demon body. The powerful demonic energy within him caused him great pain as he could not control it. Yuan Lang wanted Wu Tong to help him keep an eye on the malevolent spirit army during the battle. Afterwards, he would teach Wu Tong how to control the demonic energy. Wu Tong would surely agree for his own safety.

The night of Chu Linglong's wedding was supposed to be a joyous occasion. The people of Lize Palace began their operation. Yu Sifeng lured Chu Xuanji into the dense woods, Yuan Lang set up the array, and the malevolent spirit army, led by Wu Tong, was also ready to go. Wu Tong, instructed by Yuan Lang, attacked Shaoyang in advance. Meanwhile, Chu Xuanji truly entered the Soul Refining Cauldron's array.

When Yuan Lang activated the Soul Refining Cauldron, Yu Sifeng and Wu Zhiqi would activate their array to trap Yuan Lang. It turned out that Chu Xuanji was merely an illusion created by Zi Hu, and Yuan Lang was about to die beneath the Soul Refining Cauldron. Chu Xuanji was still searching for Yu Sifeng in the woods. The woods were eerily quiet, and Chu Xuanji seemed unable to find her way out no matter how she walked. Chu Xuanji noticed the abnormality and realized that Liu Yihuan had set up a maze array to trap her.

Episode 47 Recap

Linglong and Xiao Liuzi, having gone through countless hardships, finally completed their wedding witnessed by everyone in Shaoyang. Yu Sifeng and Wu Zhiqi intended to kill Yuan Lang in the Soul Refining Cauldron. No matter how Yuan Lang defended himself and begged for mercy, Yu Sifeng refused to let him go, and even confessed in front of Yuan Lang that he was not the Star of Mosha.

Seeing that he couldn't move Yu Sifeng, Yuan Lang turned to Wu Zhiqi to beg for mercy. However, a thousand years ago, Yuan Lang had betrayed his friends and sided with the heavenly realm when he saw the demon race's momentum was unfavorable, leading to the disastrous defeat of King Asura and the capture of Wu Zhiqi. Wu Zhiqi had always remembered this grudge. Wu Zhiqi and Yu Sifeng worked together to kill Yuan Lang.

Afterward, Wu Zhiqi sensed something was wrong; how could Yuan Lang be killed so easily? It turned out he had long used a clone technique to escape. Yu Sifeng and Wu Zhiqi suspected that Yuan Lang's clone attacked Shaoyang. In reality, he had already rendezvoused with Wu Tong and Ruo Yu, preparing to seize the Crystal Lamp. Hao Chen was desperately suppressing the power of the Crystal Lamp in the secret realm.

Years had passed, and the Star of Mosha's desire to break out of the Crystal Lamp grew stronger. Hao Chen sensed his physical strength gradually weakening and had to find a way to make Chu Xuanji destroy the Crystal Lamp herself before returning to the heavenly realm. Yuan Lang had long guessed Hao Chen's true identity, so he used an Asura body to confront Hao Chen and seize the Crystal Lamp.

Xiao Liuzi originally intended to invite Hao Chen for wedding wine but encountered Wu Tong. Seeing Xiao Liuzi in his wedding attire, Wu Tong became mad with jealousy, injured Xiao Liuzi, and then went to harass Linglong. Xiao Liuzi pursued him but was stopped by Ruo Yu. Feeling he owed Xiao Liuzi, Ruo Yu told him the truth.

Ruo Yu had deceived Xiao Liuzi to obtain the spiritual key, and even the person who harmed Yinghong was him, not Yu Sifeng. Only then did Xiao Liuzi realize he had wrongly blamed Yu Sifeng. Ruo Yu then stopped Xiao Liuzi from chasing after Wu Tong to prevent him from being injured again. Unable to trust Ruo Yu anymore, Xiao Liuzi sealed him and, though injured, went to protect Linglong.

Hao Chen, with his mortal body, was truly unable to defeat Yuan Lang. Fortunately, Yu Sifeng and Wu Zhiqi arrived in time. Yu Sifeng alone dealt with Yuan Lang, but with no one suppressing the Crystal Lamp, the power of the Star of Mosha burst out as a red light, which Chu Xuanji saw. Wu Tong found Linglong's wedding chamber, lifted her veil, and tried to forcibly take Linglong away.

Xiao Liuzi tried to stop him and was heavily injured again. As long as Wu Tong was willing to let Xiao Liuzi go, Linglong agreed to leave with Wu Tong. Fortunately, the Shaoyang people arrived, and Wu Tong quickly retreated, but his desire to marry Linglong was not extinguished. Yu Sifeng was still entangled in a fight with Yuan Lang in the secret realm.

Wu Zhiqi reminded Yu Sifeng that his twelve golden feathers specifically countered the dark energy of the Asura. After Yu Sifeng revealed his true form, he completely eliminated Yuan Lang. Yuan Lang's demise meant that the misunderstanding between Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji was about to be resolved. Yu Sifeng was full of joy and planned to revive Hao Chen so he could testify for him. However, Hao Chen had already calculated his plan.

He continued to provoke Yu Sifeng verbally and deliberately attacked Yu Sifeng in front of Chu Xuanji to make Yu Sifeng strike him. Hao Chen, who did not have much time left before returning to the heavenly realm, arranged for Yu Sifeng to kill him in front of Chu Xuanji, and with righteous-sounding words, he deepened the misunderstanding of Chu Xuanji and everyone else towards Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng was panicked by everything before his eyes.

Hao Chen's slander and Chu Xuanji's misunderstanding left Yu Sifeng unable to defend himself. Chu Xuanji was completely focused on Hao Chen and did not listen to any of Yu Sifeng's explanations. Before he died, Hao Chen spoke a lot, constantly instructing Chu Xuanji not to let Yu Sifeng go. As soon as Hao Chen died, Chu Xuanji's hatred towards Yu Sifeng reached its peak.

Even though Wu Zhiqi blocked the other Shaoyang people outside the barrier, in the end, it was Chu Xuanji who stabbed Yu Sifeng with a fatal sword strike.

Yu Sifeng bitterly explained that he was not the Star of Mosha, that he came to Shaoyang to deal with Yuan Lang and protect the Crystal Lamp; however, Chu Xuanji's eyes were blinded by hatred and she was unwilling to believe what Yu Sifeng said, stabbing the sword even deeper into Yu Sifeng's body. For Yu Sifeng, the most painful thing was not the sword wound, but Chu Xuanji's every word of heartless betrayal.

With a wounded heart, Yu Sifeng finally understood why the previous nine lives ended that way; it turned out that Chu Xuanji was ultimately a heartless person. Ignoring Yu Sifeng's bone-chilling despair, Chu Xuanji swung her sword again. Wu Zhiqi intervened in time to block it and took Yu Sifeng away. Chu Xuanji knelt before Hao Chen's spiritual tablet and recalled Hao Chen's words and the scene of Yu Sifeng fighting against the immortal sects.

Chu Xuanji could only blame everything on the Crystal Lamp. She had indeed fallen into Hao Chen's trap and resolved to destroy the Crystal Lamp. Yu Sifeng's injuries were not life-threatening, but he no longer held any hope for Chu Xuanji. He prepared to return to Lize Palace with Wu Zhiqi to handle the remaining matters. However, Wu Zhiqi sensed that the Juntian Cehai was lamenting, which must mean something was wrong with the Star of Mosha's core spirit.

Recalling Hao Chen's words before he died, Yu Sifeng concluded that Chu Xuanji was going to destroy the Crystal Lamp. However, the Crystal Lamp contained the core spirit of the Star of Mosha. Because of the monstrous wrongdoings committed by the heavenly realm against the Star of Mosha, the Star of Mosha's core spirit had accumulated a thousand years of resentment and could not rest in peace.

Even if Chu Xuanji was the God of War, she could not easily destroy it; she might even be devoured by it. Yu Sifeng still couldn't let go of Chu Xuanji and rushed back to the secret realm to stop her. Chu Lei and others guarded Chu Xuanji and tried their best to stop Yu Sifeng. However, Chu Xuanji's condition was getting worse; she couldn't destroy the Crystal Lamp at all.

Just then, Teng She also rushed from the heavenly realm and told everyone that Chu Xuanji could not destroy the Star of Mosha's core spirit. Due to the heavenly realm's rules, he could not reveal the truth that besides being the God of War, Chu Xuanji was also the Star of Mosha, nor could he show the heavenly realm's jade slip recording the truth. Chu Xuanji was in unbearable pain, being absorbed by the Crystal Lamp's core spirit.

Teng She and Wu Zhiqi blocked Chu Lei and others, allowing Yu Sifeng to step forward and cut off Chu Xuanji's connection with the core spirit. Yu Sifeng's power was also not enough to contend with the power of the Star of Mosha, yet he could not watch Chu Xuanji turn to dust. Under Yu Sifeng's questioning, Teng She revealed the only method: to borrow the power of the Juntian Cehai.

However, since Yu Sifeng was not from the demon race, forcefully utilizing the Juntian Cehai's immense power would lead to his death. Wu Zhiqi did not want to watch Yu Sifeng die, but Yu Sifeng stubbornly persisted, disregarding his own safety, and even used Wu Zhiqi's promise to repay his life-saving grace to plead with Wu Zhiqi. Wu Zhiqi had no choice but to hand the Juntian Cehai to Yu Sifeng.

Yu Sifeng used the power of the Juntian Cehai to rescue Chu Xuanji, but the Crystal Lamp had been disturbed, and its core spirit was about to break out. Once again, Yu Sifeng, fearless of death, used his own feathers to reseal the Crystal Lamp. Yu Sifeng had done so much but still did not want Chu Xuanji to know.

He only wished that from now on, Chu Xuanji would just be Chu Xuanji, and would no longer live bearing the identities of the God of War and the Star of Mosha. The Shaoyang people were foolish to the extreme. If Teng She hadn't explained Yu Sifeng's actions, they would still have believed Yu Sifeng was the Star of Mosha. To find his sister, Ruo Yu planned to make further arrangements using Yuan Lang's remnants.

Yu Sifeng confessed to the Elders of Lize Palace that he was not the Star of Mosha and that his spiritual energy was currently insufficient to lead Lize Palace. He originally intended to transfer the position of Palace Master to Elder Luo.

However, Elder Luo believed that Yu Sifeng was unwilling to sacrifice his tribesmen in the demon race's struggles and had found a secluded place for his tribe, making Yu Sifeng the only suitable person to lead the Golden Feather Bird Tribe. Elder Luo promised to manage all tribal affairs with the other elders and await Yu Sifeng's return.

Episode 48 Recap

Liu Yihuan knew Yu Sifeng's intention to give up the position of Palace Master. Yu Sifeng wanted to distance himself from his relatives and friends and find a place to quietly wait for death, because the power of the Juntian Cehai was surging within his body. Yu Sifeng worried that one day the Juntian Cehai would burst out and be used by someone with ulterior motives to activate the Star of Mosha.

If that happened, Chu Xuanji would once again become the resentment-filled Asura Star of Mosha. Seeing Yu Sifeng like this, Liu Yihuan persuaded him to take the Forgetfulness Pill. From the day Yu Sifeng left, Chu Xuanji had nightmares and suddenly woke up. Chu Linglong told Chu Xuanji that Chu Lei had re-sealed the Crystal Lamp. Teng She did not directly confirm it but refused to say what had happened that day.

Only in Chu Xuanji's memory were there still traces of Yu Sifeng. Teng She advised Chu Xuanji not to think about destroying the Crystal Lamp anymore. Zi Hu and Wu Zhiqi had a rare moment alone. Wu Zhiqi's unintentional closeness made Zi Hu secretly rejoice. However, Wu Zhiqi sighed that being a human or a demon was not easy, but Zi Hu believed that whether one was a human or a demon, they should just follow their heart.

She then took the opportunity to confess her feelings to Wu Zhiqi. Wu Zhiqi avoided Zi Hu's feelings and left under an excuse. Since waking up, Chu Xuanji had always remembered Hao Chen's dying wish for her to destroy the Crystal Lamp. But the more she wanted to destroy the Crystal Lamp, the more her heart ached.

She even clearly felt the pain of the Star of Mosha's core being dissected, and the image of the Star of Mosha's core being dissected was imprinted in her mind. Chu Xuanji insisted on destroying the Crystal Lamp even at the cost of her own life, not only to follow Hao Chen's dying instruction but also to save Yu Sifeng from becoming a demon.

Teng She tried hard to persuade her, saying that no one knew what kind of catastrophe the revival of the Star of Mosha would bring to the three realms, including the Heavenly Emperor, so Chu Xuanji absolutely did not need to sacrifice herself for something so intangible. Chu Xuanji sensed the deeper meaning in Teng She's words and doubted whether the Crystal Lamp was sealed by Chu Lei, so she wanted to see it for herself.

Chu Xuanji saw the Crystal Lamp sealed by golden feather bird plumes. Teng She watched Chu Xuanji struggling, thinking that she would know sooner or later, so he told Chu Xuanji about how Yu Sifeng had exhausted his magic power to re-seal the Crystal Lamp when her life was in danger. However, in Chu Xuanji's impression, Yu Sifeng had done many wrong things. Why would he seal the Crystal Lamp?

Teng She explained to Chu Xuanji, asking which of the things attributed to Yu Sifeng's actions had she seen with her own eyes. Yu Sifeng disguised himself as the Star of Mosha just to get rid of Yuan Lang, and even sacrificed himself to seal the Crystal Lamp. He definitely had his own difficulties. Teng She suggested that Chu Xuanji should go and ask Yu Sifeng herself to clarify everything. Chu Xuanji was anxious to find Yu Sifeng.

Chu Lei told Chu Xuanji that all the people from Lize Palace had retreated and their whereabouts were unknown. As they were talking, a disciple reported that Wu Tong was wandering near Buzhou Mountain. Chu Linglong had learned of this and had already gone to Buzhou Mountain to kill Wu Tong. Chu Xuanji was worried about Chu Linglong's safety and also rushed there. Chu Linglong failed to ambush Wu Tong successfully and was instead grabbed by him.

Wu Tong morbidly reminisced about the happy times with the flower demon and wanted to forcibly marry Chu Linglong. Chu Linglong had come fully prepared; she sacrificed herself to summon a heavenly thunder calamity, intending to perish with Wu Tong. Wu Tong did not struggle much, as dying with Chu Linglong also fulfilled his wish. Teng She stopped the Fengru City divine official and allowed Chu Xuanji to enter.

Chu Xuanji quickly rescued Chu Linglong and hugged her, questioning why she would abandon everyone. But since Xiao Liuzi could no longer wake up, Chu Linglong had also lost the desire to live. Wu Tong had not yet been struck by the heavenly thunder. In front of Chu Xuanji, he revealed that Yuan Lang was the mastermind behind the Heavenly Void Hall, and that Yu Sifeng was actually the one who had been misunderstood.

Seeing that Chu Xuanji didn't know, Wu Tong also speculated whether Yu Sifeng had died because he killed Yuan Lang. However, before Wu Tong finished speaking, Chu Linglong got up and attacked, personally killing Wu Tong. The heavenly thunder repeatedly struck Wu Tong and Chu Linglong. Chu Linglong used all her strength to stab Wu Tong with her sword.

It was only at this moment that Wu Tong realized what he truly wanted was not to bathe the five major sects in blood for revenge, but merely for Chu Linglong to see him. Yet, after transforming from a human to a demon and enduring torment, Wu Tong still didn't receive a sincere glance from Chu Linglong. The gate of Fengru City opened.

Wu Tong wanted to take Chu Linglong with him to be sucked into Fengru City; if sucked in, they would be forever trapped. However, only at the last moment did Wu Tong understand his true feelings. Though reluctant to part with Chu Linglong, he still pushed her towards Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji used all her might to push Chu Linglong out, but she herself was sucked into Fengru City.

Entering Fengru City, Chu Xuanji fell into the River of Forgetfulness and finally saw everything Yu Sifeng had sacrificed for her in the past nine lives—those nine lives filled with Yu Sifeng's blood and love. In the previous nine lives, it was always Chu Xuanji who had wronged Yu Sifeng. She had always thought this life would be different, but she still brought harm to Yu Sifeng.

Chu Xuanji mustered her strength and resolved to find Yu Sifeng to get everything clear. As a result, her memories as the God of War flooded into her mind. The God of War, bound by heavenly soldiers, was full of resentment. The heavenly realm ordered the execution of the God of War.

It was Yu Sifeng, as a divine official, who spread his golden wings to protect the God of War and sent her to the mortal realm, and even voluntarily descended to accompany her for nine lives to transform her. All of this stemmed from the God of War often confiding in the Golden Red Divine Bird. The divine bird had long admired the God of War.

When the God of War did not want to fight, the divine bird gave her a garment of rainbow colors. From the heavenly realm onwards, it was always Yu Sifeng who accompanied Chu Xuanji. Even if everyone turned against her and left her, only Yu Sifeng poured out everything to protect and help Chu Xuanji. Such a person could not possibly betray Chu Xuanji. Only after regaining all her memories did Chu Xuanji fully realize her mistakes.

Learning that Ting Nu was in Shaoyang treating Xiao Liuzi, Chu Xuanji rushed back, anxious to inquire about Yu Sifeng's whereabouts from Ting Nu. Fortunately, by the time Chu Xuanji rushed back, Xiao Liuzi had already been cured, and with Wu Tong dead, Chu Linglong had also resolved her inner turmoil. From now on, they would have good days. As for Ting Nu, he had come at Yu Sifeng's request.

Besides curing Xiao Liuzi, there were two other matters: firstly, to disband the Heavenly Void Hall. How the demon race would fare in the future could not be controlled, but he guaranteed that the Golden Red Birds would not participate in the conflicts between humans and other immortal sects. Secondly, he delivered a spiritual pill to Yinghong to help her nourish her meridians and retrain her internal energy. After saying this, Ting Nu left.

Chu Xuanji asked Yinghong who had injured her back then. Yinghong did not see who it was before she was severely injured. Xiao Liuzi learned from Ruo Yu that the one who broke into the secret realm and severely injured Yinghong was Ruo Yu himself, not Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng was indeed not the Star of Mosha; he had merely intentionally designed and pretended to be him in order to kill Yuan Lang.

It was Chu Xuanji who disbelieved Yu Sifeng's explanation and only believed what she saw. Realizing her mistake, Chu Xuanji chased after Ting Nu, but overheard Liu Yihuan and Ting Nu's conversation. Hao Chen had originally been injured by Yuan Lang but slandered Yu Sifeng before he died. Hearing this, Chu Xuanji rushed out and asked Liu Yihuan for Yu Sifeng's whereabouts. Liu Yihuan was already full of resentment towards these immortal sects. They had wronged and harmed Yu Sifeng.

Yu Sifeng had already suffered the Lover's Curse twice, and one more time would cost him his life. Naturally, he refused to tell her. Chu Xuanji listened as Liu Yihuan explained the origin of the Lover's Curse in detail. Back then, Yu Sifeng willingly entered the Purgatory Tower to accept punishment for Chu Xuanji, but Chu Xuanji's indifference ultimately led Yu Sifeng to decide to wear the Lover's Curse mask for freedom. Later, the two met again.

Chu Xuanji taking off the mask made Yu Sifeng have a glimmer of hope for their relationship, but she didn't know that the Lover's Curse mask made from Kunlun Wood could not resist Chu Xuanji's innate divine power, and Yu Sifeng's Lover's Curse was not lifted at all. Since meeting Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng had suffered too much pain and too many injuries for their relationship.

The more Chu Xuanji understood, the more painful she felt, and she rushed to Lize Palace in anxiety. In her agitated state, she almost fell into the sea. Fortunately, Teng She arrived in time and took her to Lize Palace. Facing the empty Lize Palace, Chu Xuanji felt increasingly ashamed towards Yu Sifeng but could not find any trace of him.

Episode 49 Recap

Teng She accompanied Chu Xuanji into Lize Palace to search, but only Zi Hu and Wu Zhiqi were inside. Although Wu Zhiqi knew Yu Sifeng's whereabouts, he couldn't tell her to keep his promise. Chu Xuanji asked Wu Zhiqi for the Juntian Cehai. Wu Zhiqi countered by asking Chu Xuanji what she saw after going to the demon realm to see the King Asura a thousand years ago that would make her turn against the heavenly realm.

However, the heavenly realm had taken Chu Xuanji's memories, and Chu Xuanji couldn't remember what she saw at all. Wu Zhiqi did not want to interfere with the affairs of the heavenly realm and the demon race anymore. He only wanted to live a carefree life, and the Juntian Cehai had already been given to Yu Sifeng. However, he also told Chu Xuanji that Yu Sifeng had taken the Forgetfulness Pill to break the Lover's Curse.

He also advised Chu Xuanji that all past events were over, and since neither of them was ordinary, they should go find their own paths and not be constrained by love. Chu Xuanji regretted losing Yu Sifeng and had to find him to clarify everything face-to-face. Seeing Chu Xuanji's determination, Wu Zhiqi gave her a soapberry, which could help Chu Xuanji hide among the three realms and avoid some trouble.

He had also given Yu Sifeng the same fruit, so it wouldn't be easy for Chu Xuanji to find Yu Sifeng. Teng She was confident he could find Yu Sifeng by his scent. Chu Xuanji took out the Luban Lock Yu Sifeng had given her. Teng She activated his magic power, causing a reaction in Yu Sifeng's room, which contained memories of Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji.

Teng She felt a bit awkward because his magic power was ineffective due to the soapberry. As he tried to withdraw his magic, he accidentally opened the Luban Lock. Inside was a secret Yu Sifeng had long wanted to tell Chu Xuanji. Yu Sifeng had never intended to hide his identity as the Golden Red Bird from Chu Xuanji, but before Chu Xuanji could open it, a fatal misunderstanding arose between them.

At this moment, Chu Xuanji felt even more remorse and could only weep bitterly. Wu Zhiqi wanted to drink a farewell drink with Zi Hu. He had been trapped for a thousand years and should find a place to relax and look for beautiful women. Although Zi Hu was also beautiful, Wu Zhiqi drunkenly admitted he would get tired of looking at her for too long.

Wu Zhiqi treated Zi Hu as a small pet and did not understand Zi Hu's love. Looking at Wu Zhiqi drunkenly passed out, Zi Hu questioned if Wu Zhiqi liked her, but Wu Zhiqi was drunk and unresponsive. Her thousand years of love received no response. Zi Hu was heartbroken and cried.

After kissing Wu Zhiqi, she originally planned to leave, but when Wu Zhiqi woke up, Zi Hu was still by his side, and even thoughtfully prepared breakfast and brewed hot tea for him. This time, Zi Hu was not easily angered away by Wu Zhiqi. She had decided to pester Wu Zhiqi for another thousand years, determined to make him develop feelings. Ruo Yu took Yuan Lang's remaining feather to the King Asura.

Yuan Lang's last trace of life was still there, but Ruo Yu only wanted to know where his sister was. When he learned that Ruo Xue was imprisoned in the Lize Palace dungeon, he rushed back in a hurry. Outside the main gate, he met Xiao Yinhua, who had come back looking for Yu Sifeng. The two of them went to the dungeon together.

However, Ruo Xue in the dungeon was on the verge of death and passed away the moment she saw Ruo Yu. Ruo Yu and Xiao Yinhua buried his sister Ruo Xue together. Ruo Yu worked for Yuan Lang originally because Ruo Xue was held hostage by him. However, there were many people like Ruo Yu whose loved ones were held hostage. Now that his sister was gone, Ruo Yu only hoped that Xiao Yinhua could live well.

He promised to help Xiao Yinhua break her contract without harming Yu Sifeng, giving Xiao Yinhua a chance to love Yu Sifeng. Ruo Yu knew that the method of raising spirit beasts was created by the Asura race, and they were most familiar with contracts. Furthermore, he had previously seen some ancient texts in the demon realm, which might contain a solution.

Ruo Yu took Xiao Yinhua with him to the demon realm to find a way to break the contract and also to completely destroy Yuan Lang, while Yuan Lang in the demon realm also discovered the secret that the God of War and the Star of Mosha were the same person. --- Chu Xuanji bid farewell to her father and went to find Yu Sifeng.

Although she and Yu Sifeng were on different paths, having gone through so much, Chu Xuanji only wanted to be with Yu Sifeng for all eternity. Although Chu Lei always hoped Chu Xuanji would become a hero who could bring peace to the world, in this life, Chu Xuanji only wanted to be an ordinary person, holding the hand of her beloved for the rest of her life.

This was because she could deeply feel that even as the God of War, adorned in silver robes, her heart had always been empty. If Chu Lei could never accept Yu Sifeng as a demon, then she would never return to Shaoyang in the future. Seeing his daughter's sincere words, Chu Lei, as a father, only wished for his daughter to be safe and happy, and granted Chu Xuanji's request to go find Yu Sifeng.

Chu Xuanji bid farewell to Linglong and left Shaoyang with Teng She to find Yu Sifeng. Along the way, Chu Xuanji initially thought that bringing Teng She along would annoy him and proactively offered to break their contract. However, Teng She was very unwilling to leave Chu Xuanji and got quite angry for a while. Chu Xuanji had to coax him and agree to take him along before he calmed down.

Chu Xuanji and Teng She's first stop was the place where she fought the Gu Diao with Yu Sifeng. Here, Yu Sifeng had taught Chu Xuanji about various tastes, both sweet and bitter. However, Yu Sifeng had endured all the bitterness for Chu Xuanji. Once she found Yu Sifeng, Chu Xuanji would no longer let him suffer. Their second stop was the inn where they had stayed together. The inn waiter surprisingly still had an impression of Chu Xuanji.

The reason was that the waiter had always remembered Yu Sifeng, who had been clamoring for the inn chef to teach him cooking and was very talented. In this place, Chu Xuanji could see Yu Sifeng's figure, but in a flash, Yu Sifeng was gone again. Next, Chu Xuanji went to Qingmu Town, but the house they had stayed in and the wishing tree where they had made wishes were all burned down.

Chu Xuanji did not believe in fate and insisted on finding Yu Sifeng. However, reviewing her past with Yu Sifeng, her mind was filled with all the kindness Yu Sifeng had shown her. Not only had she not loved Yu Sifeng properly, but she had even hurt him. Thinking of this filled Chu Xuanji with heartache. Why was she so bad? Seeing Chu Xuanji distressed, Teng She suggested finding Liu Yihuan, who possessed the Heavenly Eye.

Liu Yihuan had sent his daughter to a private school to study. Yu'er was mischievous and used magic to confuse the teacher and get good grades. Liu Yihuan tried to discipline Yu'er but couldn't do anything about his daughter. Chu Xuanji and Teng She quickly arrived at Qingyang City where Liu Yihuan lived.

Liu Yihuan was not very happy to see Chu Xuanji and Teng She, but he just refused to reveal Yu Sifeng's whereabouts, requesting Chu Xuanji to give Yu Sifeng a period of peaceful final time. However, Chu Xuanji did not give up. She knew her mistakes. After finding Yu Sifeng, she would definitely love him well with all her heart and make up for the tragic endings of the previous nine lives.

Even if Yu Sifeng could not fall in love with Chu Xuanji again, Chu Xuanji would silently accompany and protect him. All of Chu Xuanji's words were sincere and heartfelt.

With Teng She and Yu'er also persuading and helping, Liu Yihuan could only relent and tell Chu Xuanji to go south, to a place with abundant spiritual energy, because Yu Sifeng had revealed before leaving that he would go to a cold pond to suppress the power of the Juntian Cehai. However, Yu Sifeng had also said that his obsession with Chu Xuanji had reached the point where he should let go. Thinking of this, Liu Yihuan couldn't help but sigh for this pair of lovers.

Episode 50 Recap

Ruo Yu and Xiao Yinhua rushed to the demon realm and saw the King Asura's coffin was empty, thinking Yuan Lang had been completely eroded and disappeared. Xiao Yinhua, in order to find a way to break the contract, ignored the erosion of the evil energy. All the way, Chu Xuanji felt a black crow following her as she searched for Yu Sifeng. When she asked Teng She about it, he paid it no mind.

Hao Chen returned to the heavenly realm and resumed his identity as King Bailin. Learning that Chu Xuanji intended to continue entangling with Yu Sifeng, he ordered the search and arrest of Chu Xuanji and her accomplices, stating that even Teng She would be shown no mercy if they resisted. Teng She and Chu Xuanji found it too difficult to find Yu Sifeng.

Fortunately, they had used the soapberry, so they didn't have to worry about being troubled by the heavenly realm. Chu Xuanji had long decided that once she found Yu Sifeng, she would live in seclusion with him and no longer care about the mortal realm or the heavenly realm. However, Chu Xuanji always had questions about the secrets of the Star of Mosha and King Bailin.

Teng She ate his way along the journey and had long spent all their travel expenses. Coincidentally, they encountered an inn asking for someone to catch a demon, so Chu Xuanji planned to earn some travel money. Whether Chu Xuanji could catch the demon was questioned, but luckily it was "work first, then payment," so the innkeeper agreed. However, the inn's errand girl, Alan, insisted on waiting for "Young Master Yi."

"Young Master Yi"'s whereabouts were uncertain, and the innkeeper wasn't willing to wait. Chu Xuanji was confident she could catch the demon, so she went straight upstairs to the room where the demon was. In no time, she successfully killed the demon, which turned out to be a troublesome weasel. Seeing that Chu Xuanji was quite capable, the innkeeper offered her lodging. Chu Xuanji took out Yu Sifeng's portrait, but the innkeeper only found it familiar without a deep impression.

Over the past year, Teng She and Chu Xuanji had searched all over the southern regions but found nothing. If Liu Yihuan wasn't lying, then Yu Sifeng must have changed living places many times. Chu Xuanji resolutely refused to give up and planned to head west to the place where the Golden Red Bird tribe lived. What Chu Xuanji didn't know was that Yu Sifeng was only a few feet away from her at this moment.

It turned out that the "Young Master Yi" mentioned by Alan was Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng saw the message Alan left at his home and originally intended to come to the inn to catch the demon. Now that he sensed the demon had already been removed, he naturally turned and left. The next day, Chu Xuanji and Teng She packed dry food and set off. However, she inadvertently smelled the scent of Sanqing tea, which Yu Sifeng drank every day.

Chu Xuanji anxiously chased after the scent, saw Yu Sifeng's figure, but was blocked by the crowd. Chu Xuanji didn't give up and insisted on staying there to find Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji used her demon-catching skills to get people to inquire about Yu Sifeng's whereabouts. However, Alan at the inn was angry that Chu Xuanji had taken away "Young Master Yi"'s business, because Alan secretly admired "Young Master Yi" and even wanted to become his wife.

Based on the descriptions from everyone and Alan, Chu Xuanji judged that this "Young Master Yi" was very much like Yu Sifeng. When Alan said that "Young Master Yi" was going to marry her, Chu Xuanji's heart revealed a sense of loss.

On the way to catch a demon for the villagers, Chu Xuanji and Teng She saw blue hydrangeas by the roadside, which reminded her that when she first regained her vision, she considered blue her favorite color, and how Yu Sifeng was there laughing with her. Chu Xuanji decided to ask Alan about "Young Master Yi"'s whereabouts, but Alan strongly blocked her and forbade Chu Xuanji from looking for "Young Master Yi."

The "Young Master Yi" that Alan spoke of was Yu Sifeng. Alan persistently pestered Yu Sifeng, implying in every word her desire to marry him. She also mentioned to Yu Sifeng that two cultivators had recently arrived, but Yu Sifeng did not wish to respond. Fortunately, someone came seeking help and interrupted Alan. In the neighboring town, every time there was a joyous event, it was followed by a funeral. Every newlywed couple was abducted by demons.

The townspeople didn't trust the newly arrived cultivators and insisted on Yu Sifeng taking action. The townspeople desperately pleaded with Yu Sifeng, so he had no choice but to agree. He only asked Alan to pretend to be his bride to lure the demons into a trap and gave Alan a luminous pearl in exchange for some wedding clothes. Alan had always dreamed of marrying Yu Sifeng and considered the luminous pearl a token of love.

After getting the wedding clothes, she went to help Yu Sifeng catch the demon. She handed the luminous pearl to the innkeeper for safekeeping. Chu Xuanji returned to the inn exhausted after a day's work. The innkeeper showed Chu Xuanji the luminous pearl. It was a unique pearl from Lize Palace. Chu Xuanji recognized it as Yu Sifeng's item at a glance, but the innkeeper said it was a token of love given by Yu Sifeng to Alan.

Chu Xuanji held the pearl, feeling extremely anxious. Chu Xuanji and Teng She went to the neighboring town to attend the wedding banquet. Sure enough, they saw Yu Sifeng marrying Alan. The person she had searched so hard for over a year was met again at his wedding banquet. Chu Xuanji stared straight at Yu Sifeng. The demon appeared, and Teng She roared loudly. Everyone scattered, clearing an open path.

Yu Sifeng watched Chu Xuanji appear among the dispersed crowd; his heart stirred, but he showed no emotion. Chu Xuanji wanted to touch Yu Sifeng's thin face, but he quickly avoided her, treating her with an even colder attitude, as if she were a stranger. Alan kept interjecting from the side, but both Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji ignored her. However, what Chu Xuanji couldn't ignore was Yu Sifeng's coldness.

Chu Xuanji, crying, took out the bell and the Luban Lock, attempting to awaken Yu Sifeng's memories after he had taken the Forgetfulness Pill. But Yu Sifeng still refused to acknowledge her, even telling Chu Xuanji not to disturb his wedding and that if there were any lingering attachments from the past, he hoped Chu Xuanji would forget them. Teng She was furious upon hearing Yu Sifeng's words and started arguing with Alan.

Alan further declared her claim over Yu Sifeng in front of Chu Xuanji, and Yu Sifeng was very cooperative in order to provoke Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji smiled, offering her blessings, and intended to let go. Yu Sifeng had taken the Forgetfulness Pill and would no longer be in mortal danger in the future, and he had found happiness. However, the moment she saw Yu Sifeng insert the Golden Red Bird hairpin into Alan's hair, Chu Xuanji's heart ached uncontrollably.

The past promises and Yu Sifeng's love were all hers. Chu Xuanji fled the wedding scene and cried bitterly in the suburbs. Teng She was so angry that he prepared to knock out Yu Sifeng and take him away to make him remember the past.

But Chu Xuanji was conflicted; it was a good thing that Yu Sifeng, having taken the Forgetfulness Pill, didn't remember how she had hurt him, but it was incredibly painful that Yu Sifeng had a new life and no longer needed her. Yu Sifeng's marriage was only for catching the demon. The moment he saw Chu Xuanji, his emotions were stirred again. Provoking Chu Xuanji in this way was an act of desperation for Yu Sifeng.

Seeing Yu Sifeng distracted, Alan curiously asked about Chu Xuanji and Teng She. Yu Sifeng did not want to mention it again. Teng She, being greedy, returned to the house where Yu Sifeng was getting married to sneak some food. He unintentionally overheard that Yu Sifeng and Alan were faking the marriage to catch the demon. He immediately turned around and told Chu Xuanji.

Teng She saw that Yu Sifeng's attitude towards Chu Xuanji was unusual and suspected that Yu Sifeng had not taken the Forgetfulness Pill. He suggested testing Yu Sifeng one more time. Teng She lured Yu Sifeng over, and indeed, Yu Sifeng had not forgotten his feelings for Chu Xuanji. However, no matter how Chu Xuanji cried, begged him to stay, and admitted her mistakes, Yu Sifeng still did not give in. At this moment, Alan was suddenly captured by the demon. Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji followed the demon.

Episode 51 Recap

Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng chased the demon to its cave. The demon appeared before them, holding Alan and taunting them. This demon was a Jue Yuan demon, born in Western Shu, and both Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng recognized it. This demon was also wounded by love, having loved a female cultivator who set up an array to kill him. Luckily, he was large and escaped quickly, saving his life, but his whole tribe was killed by that person.

The Jue Yuan demon thus harbored hatred for all women in the world, transferring his hatred onto innocent people. Chu Xuanji did not intend to let the evil Jue Yuan demon go, but Yu Sifeng falsely claimed to understand the pain of being betrayed that the Jue Yuan demon felt and intended to let him go. The Jue Yuan demon's experience was just like Yu Sifeng's back then.

Even though Chu Xuanji argued that she never intended to kill Yu Sifeng, everything she had done in the past still broke his heart. Yu Sifeng's demon identity attracted the Jue Yuan demon's attention. Taking advantage of the Jue Yuan demon's distraction, Yu Sifeng killed him and saved Alan. In Yu Sifeng's heart, no amount of hatred could serve as a reason to kill innocent people.

After dealing with the Jue Yuan demon, Yu Sifeng spoke harshly again, telling Chu Xuanji to leave. Even though they had once loved each other, ultimately humans and demons are on different paths. Yu Sifeng did not want to be with Chu Xuanji.

Chu Xuanji had searched painstakingly for Yu Sifeng for over a year and did not want to easily let go, but Yu Sifeng said that if she didn't leave, it would be life-threatening, which made Chu Xuanji have to loosen her grip. Yu Sifeng hurried away, holding Alan, leaving Chu Xuanji standing alone. Yu Sifeng used too much strength killing the Jue Yuan demon, which caused Juntian Cehai to react strongly.

He had to go to the cold pond again to calm Juntian Cehai. The heavenly officials' inability to find Chu Xuanji's whereabouts greatly angered King Bailin. King Bailin ordered the heavenly officials that since they could not find Chu Xuanji's trace, they should find her accomplices. As Liu Yihuan had stolen the heavenly eye, they could find Liu Yihuan through the heavenly eye's trace and then investigate Chu Xuanji's whereabouts.

The heavenly officials, fearing King Bailin's anger, could only hurry to search. Chu Xuanji was conflicted about whether to enter Yu Sifeng's residence and forcibly keep him by her side. Teng She simply could not stand the indecisive ways of humans. He enlightened Chu Xuanji, saying that since Yu Sifeng had not taken the Forgetfulness Pill, it meant he still loved her.

If she was afraid of Yu Sifeng's Lover's Curse acting up, the best method was to persistently pester him, love him well, and finally successfully help Yu Sifeng break the Lover's Curse. Teng She's enlightenment helped Chu Xuanji regain confidence. Especially when Teng She smelled the delicious food Yu Sifeng had made and rushed directly into the room. With Teng She taking the initiative, Chu Xuanji also followed, using the excuse of sheltering from the rain.

Teng She chattered on and on, insisting on staying with Chu Xuanji, ignoring Yu Sifeng's cold order to leave. Chu Xuanji followed Teng She's advice and carried on with the persistent pestering, cooking Yu Sifeng's favorite dishes for him. After getting Chu Xuanji out of the way, Teng She had the chance to expose the reason Yu Sifeng was pushing Chu Xuanji away.

Yu Sifeng's body was getting worse day by day because of Juntian Cehai, and he was only holding on repeatedly with the help of the cold pond and Snow Ganoderma. But it was too not worthwhile to not reconcile with Chu Xuanji because of this. Yu Sifeng had too many considerations.

Having spent ten lifetimes with Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng understood that she was always the high and mighty God of War, and being with her would only become colder without getting her true heart. But the fact that the God of War and the Star of Mosha were the same person always made Yu Sifeng suspicious.

Teng She revealed that the heavenly realm had activated a True Word to summon the heavenly officials back, which might be related to Chu Xuanji. Teng She decided to return to the heavenly realm first to observe the situation. Chu Xuanji was cooking in the kitchen. Just the word "hot" was enough to make Yu Sifeng worry. Seeing Chu Xuanji's scalded leg, he ultimately couldn't bear it, so he told Chu Xuanji to come inside to apply medicine.

Chu Xuanji was just about to act coquettishly and ask Yu Sifeng to help her apply it, but Alan suddenly appeared, pestering Yu Sifeng and pushing Chu Xuanji to leave. During their struggle, the Golden Red Bird hairpin fell from Alan's body. Chu Xuanji had been looking for the hairpin for a long time, but Yu Sifeng misunderstood, thinking it was the one Chu Xuanji broke and left in Qingmu Town. Alan also cooperated by snatching the hairpin away.

Chu Xuanji could only use the excuse that her leg injury prevented her from walking and required Yu Sifeng's treatment, attempting to forcibly stay this way. Seeing that Yu Sifeng wasn't falling for this trick, Chu Xuanji brought up Yu Sifeng's past promises to her. Yu Sifeng's heart simply couldn't let go of Chu Xuanji.

Even knowing it was Chu Xuanji's scheme, he agreed to let her stay and even boiled herbal medicine for her to apply to the wound, persisting even though he was physically exhausted. Early the next morning, Chu Xuanji made Sanqing tea for Yu Sifeng, but Alan happened to bring milk tea as well. To provoke Chu Xuanji into leaving, Yu Sifeng chose the milk tea and took Alan with him to the mountains to gather herbs.

Yu Sifeng explained to Alan that he had utilized her out of necessity, while also making it clear that he had no feelings for her and firmly rejecting Alan's affection. Alan understood Yu Sifeng's meaning and did not pester him further, only promising to properly learn medical and demon-catching skills from Yu Sifeng in the future. Alan returned Yu Sifeng's Golden Red Bird hairpin she held. It turned out this hairpin was one Yu Sifeng had entrusted Alan to repair.

Chu Xuanji, not giving up, hurried over and fell. Yu Sifeng was originally moved by pity but was pulled away by Alan. Watching the two leave, Chu Xuanji unexpectedly saw a Two-winged Butterfly and chased after it. Yu Sifeng, still worried about Chu Xuanji, chased after her to check.

Seeing that Chu Xuanji was unharmed, he was about to leave, but Chu Xuanji firmly stopped him and even cut herself with a knife, telling Yu Sifeng that from now on, every time his Lover's Curse acted up, she would cut herself once. If Yu Sifeng died, she would die with him. This wasn't treating life as a game, but wanting Yu Sifeng to believe that she had truly changed.

Now Chu Xuanji genuinely wanted to spend day and night with Yu Sifeng and grow old together. If Yu Sifeng didn't believe her and wanted to leave, then Chu Xuanji would continue searching until Yu Sifeng believed her sincerity. Chu Xuanji searched for the Two-winged Butterfly because she had heard that the Two-winged Butterfly was the messenger who controlled the world's romantic fate.

If one saw the Two-winged Butterfly, broken relationships could be reconciled, and lovers who made a wish to the butterfly could be together for lifetimes. Chu Xuanji also wanted to use the butterfly to be able to join hands with Yu Sifeng in this life and obtain a perfect ending. Yu Sifeng did not want to be entangled with Chu Xuanji. Since Chu Xuanji would not leave, he naturally chose to leave Xigu Town.

Seeing Yu Sifeng's attitude, Chu Xuanji told Yu Sifeng that since he didn't want her to pester him, she would just wait for Yu Sifeng in this place, willing to do so even for a lifetime. Seeing Chu Xuanji's resolve, Yu Sifeng could only harden his heart and turn to leave. Yu Sifeng was healing his injuries in the cold pond, while Chu Xuanji waited for Yu Sifeng to return in the rain.

But a night passed, and Chu Xuanji did not wait for Yu Sifeng. She searched everywhere in the town but saw no sign of Yu Sifeng. Did Yu Sifeng really leave after all? Chu Xuanji kept her word; no matter where Yu Sifeng went, Chu Xuanji would persist in finding him back. On that day, heavy snow fell. Chu Xuanji knelt in the snow, crying and shouting out her true feelings.

The decision to sever ties completely back then was merely a lie to appease Chu Lei. Those words of truth were only spoken to heaven, and Yu Sifeng had never heard them. Unbeknownst to Chu Xuanji, Yu Sifeng was watching and listening in the nearby woods. It was just that Yu Sifeng was concerned that his remaining time was short and he couldn't accept Chu Xuanji's true feelings. Only by leaving could he make Chu Xuanji slowly forget him.

Unable to find Yu Sifeng anywhere, Chu Xuanji had no choice but to return to Yu Sifeng's residence and wait bitterly again. This time, she would definitely keep her promise and not let Yu Sifeng think she broke her word. Even though Alan advised her, Chu Xuanji waited stubbornly. Alan told Yu Sifeng about Chu Xuanji's situation. Yu Sifeng asked Alan to provoke Chu Xuanji into leaving. Chu Xuanji had developed an obsession and simply would not listen to advice.

No matter how cold it was, she insisted on waiting for Yu Sifeng to return in the snow. Alan, worried about Chu Xuanji's health, had to report to Yu Sifeng again. Chu Xuanji was now frozen unconscious in the snow. Before she fainted, what she thought of was still the sweet memories with Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng, hearing Alan's words, also rushed back to his residence.

He only saw Chu Xuanji unconscious in the snow and anxiously carried her back inside to warm up. The first person Chu Xuanji saw when she woke up was Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji hugged Yu Sifeng tightly, not letting him leave again. From childhood until now, because she lacked a heart, Chu Xuanji had never been afraid. But this time, Yu Sifeng's departure truly terrified her to the extreme.

Also, in Fenru City, Chu Xuanji saw that in her previous nine lives, she only realized her feelings after Yu Sifeng died. In every life, Chu Xuanji loved Yu Sifeng, but she realized her feelings late. Chu Xuanji also regretted her slow reaction, but this time she did not want regrets to occur. After listening, Yu Sifeng hugged Chu Xuanji. Yu Sifeng loved Chu Xuanji; it was just that he had waited for too long.

Episode 52 Recap

Yu Sifeng was afraid of too many things, afraid that Chu Xuanji wouldn't come, afraid that she would leave after coming, afraid that all of this would dissipate easily like a bubble. Chu Xuanji comforted Yu Sifeng, saying she would protect him and never leave him in this life and this world, and would also work hard to break Yu Sifeng's Lover's Curse.

Chu Xuanji took the initiative to kiss Yu Sifeng and discovered that the feather on his chest had disappeared. Yu Sifeng was very happy that the Lover's Curse was finally broken and confirmed that Chu Xuanji's love for him was true. The two snuggled together and talked about Chu Xuanji's experience searching the world for Yu Sifeng for over a year. Yu Sifeng had been to every place Chu Xuanji had visited that held their shared memories.

Chu Xuanji suddenly wondered why Yu Sifeng had settled in Xigu Valley after visiting so many places. Chu Xuanji also wanted to know if Yu Sifeng had met any other girls besides Alan during that year. Yu Sifeng denied it, saying that during that year he had always missed Chu Xuanji. Yu Sifeng took out the Golden Red Bird hairpin and put it on Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji would cherish it as a treasure from then on.

Chu Xuanji also asked what happened after Yu Sifeng sealed the Crystal Lamp back then. She further questioned why she felt a summoning sensation when approaching the Crystal Lamp, and why she felt uncomfortable when she wanted to destroy it. Yu Sifeng didn't want Chu Xuanji to know the truth, so he gave a perfunctory explanation. However, Chu Xuanji was still very curious why all the heavenly officials knew her origin, yet the God of War had no past.

Seeing that Chu Xuanji was becoming increasingly curious, Yu Sifeng had to say it was the temptation of the Star of Mosha's primordial spirit, and asked Chu Xuanji not to approach or think about it, but simply to spend this life with him peacefully. Chu Xuanji also wanted to do this, but upon seeing Yu Sifeng this time, she found his body was getting increasingly gaunt. Yu Sifeng hid it from Chu Xuanji, only saying it was an old injury.

After Chu Xuanji fell asleep, Yu Sifeng went to check on the growth of the Snow Ganoderma in the cold pond. Teng She then revealed the reason Yu Sifeng was staying in Xigu Valley. The cold pond in Xigu Valley could suppress the power of Juntian Cehai within Yu Sifeng's body.

If the Snow Ganoderma grew into nine rings and was consumed, Yu Sifeng would have a chance to fuse with Juntian Cehai, and he would be fine from then on. Yu Sifeng saw that the Snow Ganoderma had truly grown out and protected it with his magical power. It turned out that the black crow that had been following Chu Xuanji was Yuan Lang in disguise. He attempted to destroy the Ganoderma but was repelled by the spell.

Xiao Yinhua and Ruo Yu were still searching for the ancient text to break the contract in the demon realm. Yuan Lang secretly plotted to make the two find the text. The text recorded that the method to break the contract was to cultivate a Gu moth using spirit herbs. However, the latter half of the text was torn.

Ruo Yu was originally worried there would be danger, but Xiao Yinhua was eager and did not listen to advice, immediately hurrying off to find the Gu moth. Yuan Lang plotted step by step, sending the Gu moth and spirit herbs to Xiao Yinhua. However, everything came suspiciously. Ruo Yu had doubts but said nothing when he saw Xiao Yinhua's expectant look. Chu Xuanji received a letter from Chu Linglong.

It turned out that the sixteenth of this month was Chu Lei's birthday, and Chu Linglong invited Chu Xuanji to return to Shaoyang. Chu Xuanji excitedly searched for Yu Sifeng to share the news, but Yu Sifeng coughed up blood and quickly hid, not wanting Chu Xuanji to know. Seeing the blood stains Yu Sifeng had coughed up, Chu Xuanji was worried and had to use magic to find him.

Xiao Yinhua had cultivated the Gu moth and was anxious to find Yu Sifeng, but considering that Ruo Yu had done too many things to hurt Yu Sifeng, she wanted to go alone. Ruo Yu also knew that with what he had done, it would be difficult to see Yu Sifeng again, but he was worried about Xiao Yinhua's safety on the road and promised to just escort her for a while.

He also gave his silver bracelet to Xiao Yinhua as a blessing. Chu Xuanji found Yu Sifeng, who had fainted, in the cold pond cave. Only then did Yu Sifeng tell Chu Xuanji about his injuries, but he hid the fact that Juntian Cehai would take his life. Yu Sifeng told Chu Xuanji that once the Snow Ganoderma grew, it could save him.

Chu Xuanji was relieved that there was still a divine object that could save her beloved Yu Sifeng. In the past, Yu Sifeng had always protected Chu Xuanji. At this moment, Chu Xuanji promised Yu Sifeng that she would protect him from now on. Teng She secretly returned to the heavenly realm. From the guards, he learned that King Bailin had already sent several heavenly officials down to the mortal realm to deal with Chu Xuanji.

Teng She quickly wanted to send the message to Chu Xuanji. Ying Long and Bai Hu Shen Jun had found Liu Yihuan. Not only did they capture Yu'er, but they also wanted to take Liu Yihuan's heavenly eye. Zi Hu's appearance could only resist for a while, and Liu Yihuan's heavenly eye was still taken. Qing Long used the snatched heavenly eye to check the whereabouts of Wu Zhiqi, Ting Nu, and Chu Xuanji.

Bai Hu was responsible for capturing Ting Nu, leaving Qing Long and Ying Long to confirm Chu Xuanji. Ying Long reminded Qing Long not to act impulsively. Qing Long was suspected of leaking information due to his loyalty to his brother Teng She, especially since Teng She was Chu Xuanji's spirit beast, and Teng She would ultimately oppose them. Meanwhile, Chu Xuanji was transferring spiritual energy to the Snow Ganoderma to urge it to grow.

If it grew and was consumed before Chu Lei's birthday, Yu Sifeng could return to Shaoyang with Chu Xuanji to propose marriage to Chu Lei. The two happily returned home. Teng She used the excuse of being greedy for food to lead Yu Sifeng away from Chu Xuanji. Teng She informed him of the situation in the heavenly realm.

However, even though Teng She had seen the jade slips of the God of War and the Star of Mosha, he still didn't know their origins. But no matter who Chu Xuanji was, Teng She only recognized Chu Xuanji. Yu Sifeng was worried that the heavenly realm revealing the truth of that year would disturb Chu Xuanji and prevent her from having peace.

Teng She, however, was quite confident that the barrier he set up would not be found by anyone. The Snow Ganoderma was growing day by day, with only one ring left. But Ruo Yu and Xiao Yinhua came looking for them at this time. When Chu Xuanji saw Ruo Yu, she remembered his actions and found them very hateful.

Although Yu Sifeng understood that Ruo Yu had done bad things under coercion, the two would no longer be brothers from now on. Xiao Yinhua was unhappy that Yu Sifeng was with Chu Xuanji and insisted on breaking the contract at this moment. Chu Xuanji was worried about his health and wanted Yu Sifeng to consume the Snow Ganoderma before breaking the contract.

But Yu Sifeng, mindful of their master-servant relationship, agreed to Xiao Yinhua's request, stating that once the contract was broken, they would have no further connection. However, the moment the contract was broken was also when heavenly lightning would arrive. Xiao Yinhua happily wanted to break the contract, completely unaware of the power of the heavenly lightning. Teng She was leisurely enjoying life in the mortal realm but was found by Qing Long.

Even with the Wuhuan Fruit and the hidden barrier, he was easily found with the heavenly eye. Teng She saw that the heavenly eye had been taken by Qing Long and thought he had killed Liu Yihuan. He then heard Qing Long say that he not only killed Liu Yihuan but would also cut off Chu Xuanji's arm to break the contract for him. Since Chu Xuanji's life was at stake, Teng She became furious.

Although his nature was restrained by Qing Long, he fought with all his might to stop Qing Long's actions. Seeing Teng She risking his life, Qing Long had to reveal the truth. Liu Yihuan was still alive, but the heavenly realm had issued a kill order for Chu Xuanji. If Teng She remained with Chu Xuanji, he would be treated as an accomplice. Teng She, to protect Chu Xuanji, was not afraid of anything, not even the Four Sacred Beasts.

Teng She also persuaded Qing Long that the heavenly realm was heartless, and that he should visit the mortal realm more often, where he could find many things more important than life. The two did not give way to each other and fought again. Yu Sifeng and Xiao Yinhua broke the contract, but the heavenly lightning followed. Xiao Yinhua was struck by the first bolt of heavenly lightning and fainted. Qing Long also stopped fighting and let Teng She go.

Teng She thought Chu Xuanji was in danger and went to find her. Qing Long and the other Four Sacred Beasts received the order to jointly attack the God of War. To protect Xiao Yinhua, Ruo Yu helped her block the second bolt of heavenly lightning.

Seeing the third bolt of heavenly lightning arriving, Yu Sifeng couldn't bear to see Ruo Yu and Xiao Yinhua die tragically, so he could only take the heavenly lightning for Xiao Yinhua, his body suffering severe damage again.

Episode 53 Recap

Chu Xuanji helped Yu Sifeng heal. Seeing the last ring of the Snow Ganoderma grow, she was very happy. Xiao Yinhua, protected by Ruo Yu, also dodged the heavenly lightning tribulation. But the Snow Ganoderma was suddenly pecked at and eaten by the Gu moth, with only the root remaining. The only hope to save Yu Sifeng was lost.

It turned out this was all designed by Yuan Lang, step by step luring Xiao Yinhua to destroy Yu Sifeng's hope of survival. Yuan Lang designed for Xiao Yinhua to feed the spirit moth with Ganoderma. Nourishing the spirit moth didn't necessarily require Ganoderma, but once it ate Ganoderma, after the spirit moth emerged from its cocoon, it would feed on Ganoderma.

Now, in the cold pond, there was the unparalleled Snow Ganoderma, how could the spirit moth let it go? Yuan Lang angered Chu Xuanji, but Yu Sifeng saw through life and death. He told Chu Xuanji not to get angry for irrelevant people. If something happened to Yu Sifeng, Chu Xuanji did not want to live alone, but Yu Sifeng felt he had no regrets in this life and being able to confirm Chu Xuanji's love for him was enough.

Yuan Lang, full of bad intentions, told Chu Xuanji the last method to revive Yu Sifeng, which was to resurrect the Star of Mosha and let the Star of Mosha extract his Juntian Cehai from Yu Sifeng's body. Chu Xuanji took Yuan Lang's method to heart, and even though Yu Sifeng was persuading her nearby, it seemed to have no effect. Xiao Yinhua didn't know she was tricked and begged Yu Sifeng not to abandon her.

The contract was dissolved, and Yu Sifeng and Xiao Yinhua had no further ties. Since Xiao Yinhua was deceived, Yu Sifeng asked Chu Xuanji not to vent her anger on Xiao Yinhua. And now, he just wanted to find a place with Chu Xuanji to live well for the rest of their days. Chu Xuanji carried Yu Sifeng and left the cold pond. On the way, they met Teng She who had come looking for them.

Teng She told Chu Xuanji that the Four Sacred Beasts had arrived to arrest her. Chu Xuanji hated the heavenly realm for not giving her and Yu Sifeng a moment of peace and was determined to drive away everyone who came to cause trouble. Chu Xuanji used the Dingkun weapon to force out the Four Sacred Beasts.

The Four Sacred Beasts were ordered by King Bailin to simply arrest the God of War and bring her back, regardless of whether Yu Sifeng was the Star of Mosha. Chu Xuanji naturally would not surrender easily. The Four Sacred Beasts threatened to kill Yu Sifeng and attacked first. Chu Xuanji used the Dingkun weapon to fight the four of them, with Teng She assisting.

The Four Sacred Beasts were not very good at fighting but were good at ridiculing Teng She. Teng She's resolve to protect Chu Xuanji was exceptionally firm; even though he had many reservations about King Bailin, he was not afraid at all. Seeing that Teng She was not obeying orders, the Four Sacred Beasts decided to arrest him too.

Chu Xuanji did not want to see Teng She in a dilemma because of her, so she put Teng She away and fought alone. Chu Xuanji transformed into the God of War and fought one against four. Zhuque attacked Chu Xuanji with blood mist. Only then did Chu Xuanji realize that the Vermilion Bird Bottle that had hurt Yu Sifeng was made by him. So Chu Xuanji wanted to settle both the new and old scores.

Ruo Yu and Xiao Yinhua also found the place filled with blood mist. Xiao Yinhua, concerned about Yu Sifeng, insisted on entering the blood mist, and Ruo Yu, for Xiao Yinhua's sake, was also willing to enter. He found a pattern based on the arrangement of the blood mist and led Xiao Yinhua in safely. But Xuanwu attacked Yu Sifeng but was blocked by Xiao Yinhua.

Seeing that Yu Sifeng was not injured and they were powerless against Chu Xuanji, the four created a Four Spirits Array. Although the array was very strong, it was exceptionally easy for the God of War Chu Xuanji to break it. Chu Xuanji's power alone could sweep aside the Four Sacred Beasts. Plus, Wu Zhiqi appeared to seek justice for Zi Hu. The Four Sacred Beasts fled very quickly.

Xiao Yinhua woke up from her severe injuries and looked for Yu Sifeng. Xiao Yinhua knew her time was short and lay in Yu Sifeng's hand to feel his warmth one more time. Xiao Yinhua's eagerness to break the contract was simply to be able to constantly stay by Yu Sifeng's side, but now she could only entrust Chu Xuanji to take good care of Yu Sifeng.

Before dying, Xiao Yinhua lay in Yu Sifeng's hand, constantly murmuring "Master", and her voice gradually faded. Yu Sifeng sighed about Xiao Yinhua's obsession, but she had never seen the person right before her eyes. Ruo Yu's love for Xiao Yinhua was no weaker than Xiao Yinhua's love for Yu Sifeng. Ruo Yu carried Xiao Yinhua to the shore of the West Sea for her to rest in peace.

After all, they were master and spirit beast, and Yu Sifeng cherished Xiao Yinhua as a spirit beast, forcing himself to get up despite his body's condition to see Xiao Yinhua off for the last time. Liu Yihuan, Ting Nu, and Zi Hu all came to Xigu Valley. Liu Yihuan was worried about not knowing Yu'er's whereabouts. Wu Zhiqi was angry that the heavenly realm did not give him peace.

Thanks to Zi Hu persuading him, otherwise, who knows what impulsive actions Wu Zhiqi would have taken. Ting Nu reported Yu Sifeng's injuries. Yu Sifeng's qi and blood were depleted, plus his power was damaged. He probably could no longer suppress the power of Juntian Cehai. The time he had left was only about a month.

Chu Xuanji would not allow Yu Sifeng to end up like this in this life and wanted to resurrect the Star of Mosha to absorb the Juntian Cehai. But once the Star of Mosha was resurrected, it would bring catastrophe to the heavenly realm, mortal realm, and demon realm. This made Chu Xuanji very conflicted. Chu Xuanji personally fed Yu Sifeng soup and tried to persuade him that he would get better soon.

Yu Sifeng knew Chu Xuanji wanted to open the Crystal Lamp to resurrect the Star of Mosha, but this was just Yuan Lang's plot. Chu Xuanji did not care what would happen to the mortal realm when the Star of Mosha woke up. She only knew that if the Star of Mosha was not resurrected, Yu Sifeng would die.

Moreover, Chu Xuanji was once the God of War and could personally seal the Star of Mosha before, and she could still do it now. Yu Sifeng had a million reasons why he did not want Chu Xuanji to open the Crystal Lamp, but these reasons were not enough to convince Chu Xuanji of her wish to stay with Yu Sifeng for a lifetime. Yu Sifeng's emotions became agitated, affecting his injuries.

Chu Xuanji had no choice but to agree to Yu Sifeng not to touch the Crystal Lamp and spend the remaining days with him. Chu Xuanji wanted to take Yu Sifeng back to Shaoyang together to celebrate Chu Lei's birthday and wanted to formally marry Yu Sifeng. No matter how much time Yu Sifeng had left, she only wanted to marry Yu Sifeng to have no regrets.

King Bailin personally descended to the mortal realm to reprimand Teng She and ordered him to return to the heavenly realm for punishment within one day, otherwise, he would increase the punishment of others in the court. Teng She hid everything, not wanting Chu Xuanji to know, and just angrily demanded that Chu Xuanji set him free. Chu Xuanji thought Teng She was a coward betraying her, but despite being reluctant inside, she spoke harsh words.

Before leaving, Teng She was still worried about Chu Xuanji's situation and advised her not to open the Crystal Lamp. And Chu Xuanji was also thinking of Teng She in every way. After all, Teng She was a person of the heavenly realm, and letting him go also avoided putting everyone in a dilemma. Wu Zhiqi asked Chu Xuanji to recall what she saw in front of the King Asura's demon spirit.

Chu Xuanji only remembered that the King Asura wanted to show her a mural, but she did not remember it herself. She did not see it in the demon realm last time either. However, the God of War had always claimed to be deceived by the heavenly realm. This old matter must have a great hidden secret. Chu Xuanji not only wanted to open the Crystal Lamp to save Yu Sifeng but also wanted to investigate the old matter thoroughly.

Chu Xuanji packed her things and took Yu Sifeng home. But Yu Sifeng was still worried about not having much time left. Chu Xuanji's heart was firm, so Yu Sifeng's heart also became firm. Before setting off, Yu Sifeng drew Chu Xuanji's eyebrows again. Every stroke and line was affection and love, but Yu Sifeng's body was not as good as it was that day.

Episode 54 Recap

Alan was reluctant to see Sifeng leave, but she knew in her heart that her relationship with Sifeng could only be limited to master and disciple. She generously blessed Sifeng and Xuanji. Sifeng bid farewell to Alan and returned to Shaoyang Mountain with Xuanji. As soon as Teng She returned to the heavenly realm, he knelt before King Bailin.

King Bailin sternly reprimanded Teng She for protecting the violent God of War, disregarding the three realms, and opposing the heavenly realm. Teng She argued back, but King Bailin already knew that Teng She had stolen the jade slip to prevent Xuanji from destroying the Crystal Lamp. King Bailin used this to accuse Teng She and also revealed the mortal form of Hao Chen to Teng She.

Teng She asked King Bailin in return, since he had been with Xuanji for twenty years and knew her heart was pure, why did he want to kill her completely? King Bailin stubbornly believed that Xuanji's negative energy had not been awakened, and now she was thinking about the Crystal Lamp; since he could not help her transcend, how could he be at ease letting her remain in the three realms?

Teng She was about to continue asking about the God of War and the Star of Mosha, but King Bailin didn't want to say more and ordered Teng She to be imprisoned. And King Bailin, having grasped Xuanji's movements, felt a strong desire to eliminate her completely. Xuanji brought everyone to Shaoyang Mountain, but Wu Zhiqi, thinking that he and the others were great demons inconvenient to go up the mountain, stayed put.

Wu Zhiqi agreed to meet Xuanji according to the plan to open the Crystal Lamp, disregarding Zi Hu's persuasion, and entrusted Ting Nu and Brother Liu to take care of Zi Hu while he left alone. Xuanji brought Sifeng to the entrance of Shaoyang. The Shaoyang disciples blocked Sifeng from entering. Fortunately, Linglong and Xiao Liuzi came out in advance to welcome and lead Xuanji and Sifeng inside.

Linglong was very happy for Xuanji when she learned that Sifeng had come to propose to her father. And Xiao Liuzi saw that Sifeng was unwell and recalled his previous actions to apologize to Sifeng. Sifeng, being inherently pure and generous, naturally forgave him. Linglong also apologized to Sifeng. After enduring hardships, the four of them were still reunited safely. Sifeng was very happy and didn't dwell on it too much.

The four of them went to the main hall to wish Chu Lei a happy birthday. Chu Lei and Yinghong didn't mind Sifeng's identity too much, but the sect leaders present had quite a few comments about Sifeng, even making sarcastic remarks. To balance both sides, Chu Lei called the four of them into a side room to talk. Xuanji proactively brought up her marriage to Sifeng before Chu Lei.

Sifeng also knelt down with her, but Chu Lei ultimately minded Sifeng's identity and did not immediately agree. Even though Xuanji completely disregarded other people's gossip and rumors, Chu Lei was always worried that gossip could be terrible and that Xuanji would not be able to bear it in the future. However, the people Xuanji cared about were only her father, Linglong, and Xiao Liuzi. As long as these few people didn't mind, Xuanji could be unafraid of gossip.

Since Chu Lei was indispensable for the birthday banquet, Sifeng and Xuanji's marriage had to be put on hold. Sifeng knew in his heart that Chu Lei would not agree to the marriage, and coupled with the excessively strong backlash power, Sifeng's body was getting worse day by day. King Bailin summoned the Seven Emperors of the Northern Sky to prepare to activate the Celestial Meteor Formation to deal with Xuanji.

This formation was brutal and would not only kill Xuanji, but also millions of Shaoyang lives would be buried with her. King Bailin disregarded the millions of lives and insisted on activating this great formation to kill the God of War, seal the Crystal Lamp, without even asking for the Heavenly Emperor's opinion. The seven divine officials had no choice but to obey the order.

Qinglong heard King Bailin's plan and secretly released Teng She to the mortal realm to deliver a message to Xuanji, advising her to leave Shaoyang and not pursue the Crystal Lamp anymore. Qinglong, unwilling to see Teng She in trouble, could only act this way. Teng She understood the urgency of the matter and went down to deliver the message, feeling deeply grateful for Qinglong's actions.

Xuanji and Wu Zhiqi worked together according to the plan to activate the Crystal Lamp. Just as they succeeded, Sifeng snatched the Crystal Lamp. Xuanji knew that Sifeng had sacrificed his life for her in the previous nine lifetimes, and they had missed nine lifetimes. In this life, no matter what the cost, she did not want Sifeng to leave like this.

But Sifeng refused to hand over the Crystal Lamp; only, due to lack of strength, it slipped from his grasp, and the Crystal Lamp flew out of the secret realm. Xuanji entrusted Sifeng to Wu Zhiqi's care and went to chase after the Crystal Lamp herself. Teng She rushed to Shaoyang preparing to send everyone from Shaoyang away. He saw Xuanji but before he could say much, he was tied up and taken away by King Bailin.

The Crystal Lamp was also taken by King Bailin. King Bailin questioned Xuanji and also revealed that he was once Hao Chen. Everyone saw the Heavenly Monarch kneel, only Xuanji remembered the intertwined hatred between the God of War and King Bailin. Xuanji questioned King Bailin why he deceived her. King Bailin, however, spoke eloquently and pushed all the blame onto Xuanji.

But all of this was just King Bailin's method to help Xuanji 'transcend'; he had never truly cared for Xuanji, and he even deceived Xuanji into killing Sifeng, causing Xuanji constant guilt. Xuanji refused to admit fault. King Bailin activated the Celestial Meteor Formation to bury Xuanji and the Crystal Lamp underground forever. The disaster of destruction would affect Shaoyang Mountain. The people of Shaoyang pleaded desperately. Xuanji, with her own strength, fought against King Bailin.

Xuanji had originally planned to reseal the Crystal Lamp after saving Sifeng. As the God of War, Xuanji thought she could recapture the Star of Mosha, but Xuanji never expected that she herself was the Star of Mosha. King Bailin would never allow the Crystal Lamp to be opened. He wanted to sacrifice the entire Shaoyang Mountain to completely eliminate the Star of Mosha. Zi Hu, Ting Nu, and Brother Liu also realized that the great formation had been activated.

Apart from worrying and waiting where they were, there was nothing else they could do. King Bailin, as a high and mighty divine lord, regarded human lives as worthless. Xuanji used the power of the God of War to protect Shaoyang's safety and resist King Bailin. The formation's power was extraordinary.

Xuanji recalled the teachings and brotherhood she experienced in this life as Hao Chen; today, the past affection was wiped away, and from now on, they were enemies, ready to fight to the end. King Bailin used the Crystal Lamp as a sacrifice, causing Xuanji's mind and spirit to be damaged. Sifeng ran out of the secret realm to bear it for Xuanji, using the power of Juntian Cehai to break King Bailin's great formation.

The Crystal Lamp also fell into Wu Zhiqi's hands. Sifeng's body could no longer withstand the power of Juntian Cehai. Xuanji was anxious to open the Crystal Lamp, but Sifeng refused. Yuan Lang appeared in his true form and revealed the secret of the Star of Mosha and the God of War. Xuanji realized that she was both the Star of Mosha and the God of War.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, remembering how Sifeng pretended to be the reincarnation of the Star of Mosha to protect someone important, she already admitted in her heart that she was the Star of Mosha. Yuan Lang, with his glib tongue, continued to coax Xuanji into opening the Crystal Lamp.

He said that it was King Bailin who killed the Star of Mosha back then, took out his primordial spirit and sealed it in the Crystal Lamp, and then used the body and a corner of the Crystal Lamp to create the God of War. Upon hearing this, King Bailin admitted it.

Xuanji finally understood that Hao Chen's initial obstruction of her retrieving her six senses and ultimately creating the God of War were all meant to turn her into a puppet. King Bailin, however, always believed that only a heartless Xuanji could maintain stability in the three realms. He blamed Xuanji for not having purified her negative energy even after nine lifetimes and for developing a mortal heart for Sifeng, wanting to fall into the demon path.

King Bailin wanted to kill Sifeng first. To protect Sifeng, Xuanji forcibly opened the Crystal Lamp. She instructed Sifeng not to forget to bring her back even if she turned into Demon Maleficent. Xuanji transformed into Demon Maleficent, remembering King Bailin's betrayal and the past of killing her and taking her primordial spirit. The process was agonizing, but Demon Maleficent still replaced Xuanji and appeared in the three realms, even repelling King Bailin.

Sifeng could not accept Xuanji turning into Demon Maleficent, but Demon Maleficent had only come for revenge. She even returned the hairpin of betrothal between Xuanji and Sifeng to Sifeng. Ignoring everyone's shouts, she turned and left.

Episode 55 Recap

Demon Maleficent left Shaoyang, absorbing the essence of the mortal realm, and past events kept flashing. Wu Zhiqi and Yuan Lang followed. Demon Maleficent remembered that Wu Zhiqi and Yuan Lang were the left and right envoys of King Asura, and even restored Yuan Lang's physical body. Wu Zhiqi, seeing Yuan Lang cleverly deceiving Demon Maleficent, wished he could kill Yuan Lang. However, Demon Maleficent invited Wu Zhiqi to join him in attacking the heavenly realm for revenge.

Wu Zhiqi hated the heavenly realm for harming Zi Hu and treating Xuanji and Demon Maleficent in such a way, so he was naturally willing to attack the heavenly realm. But Demon Maleficent stopped Wu Zhiqi from attacking Yuan Lang, so Wu Zhiqi had no choice but to give up. The two of them followed Demon Maleficent to Fenru City to revive the Asura army.

King Bailin accepted Demon Maleficent's declaration of war in the heavenly realm, preparing the heavenly realm to fight against the Asura clan, and vowing not to spare any demon race. Sifeng woke up from his coma and wanted to find Xuanji. Now that demons were rampant, it was very dangerous. Moreover, Xuanji had turned into Demon Maleficent, who was gathering all demons to plan an attack on the heavenly court to overturn the three realms.

Everyone advised Sifeng to give up, but as long as a trace of Xuanji's memory remained in Demon Maleficent's body, Sifeng would stop Demon Maleficent from destroying the three realms and bring Xuanji back. Linglong and Zi Hu also had confidence in Xuanji. Ting Nu changed his mind and supported Sifeng, asking Sifeng to stop Demon Maleficent from creating killing karma and increasing his demonic nature. If his demonic nature increased, Xuanji might never be found again.

Sifeng went undercover among the demon realm army. Demon Maleficent's resolve to slaughter the heavenly realm was set. He directly eliminated any demon tribe with divided loyalty. Demons and Asuras had both suffered humiliation from the heavenly realm for thousands of years, and this was a good time to vent their grievances. Regardless of what each demon tribe thought, they must follow and attack the heavenly realm on the designated date, otherwise, their entire tribe would be wiped out.

Sifeng appeared before Demon Maleficent, calling out to Xuanji's primordial spirit. Xuanji, sensing Sifeng within Demon Maleficent's body, also kept responding. Demon Maleficent reacted but forcibly suppressed it. He believed that even if Xuanji existed, she was just a drop in the ocean of his ten thousand years of memories.

Demon Maleficent spared Sifeng's life because Sifeng had risked his life to protect Xuanji's primordial spirit, but Sifeng stubbornly insisted on bringing the complete Xuanji back, believing that since Xuanji did not want to become the Star of Mosha, she could definitely be called back. The Star of Mosha imprisoned Xuanji and forcibly transformed into Demon Maleficent's appearance using demonic power.

However, Demon Maleficent was also afraid that one day he would be unable to control Xuanji, because Xuanji fundamentally did not want to become a demon who only knew slaughter. Xuanji struggled continuously within Demon Maleficent's body, causing Demon Maleficent discomfort. He then impersonated Xuanji to persuade Sifeng to forget him and everything in the past. This loophole prevented Sifeng from being tricked.

The memories of Xuanji and Sifeng made Demon Maleficent feel bored and ashamed, but Sifeng believed that Demon Maleficent had suffered betrayal and envied Xuanji for possessing true affection in the world. Demon Maleficent prepared to eliminate Sifeng and Xuanji. Sifeng then requested to become Demon Maleficent's helper, believing that his true form as a twelve-feathered Golden Feather Token would be helpful. If Sifeng could withstand one move from Demon Maleficent, he could join.

Because Xuanji was within Demon Maleficent, she naturally wouldn't allow him to harm Sifeng. Even though Sifeng was lightly injured, he successfully passed the test. Demon Maleficent handed the Luotian Bell to Sifeng. Yuan Lang, displeased by Demon Maleficent's trust in Sifeng, immediately objected. Demon Maleficent, being inherently arrogant, naturally reprimanded Yuan Lang for interfering. The Asura tribesmen brought Sifeng to the mortal prison and intended to use mortals to infuse the Luotian Bell.

Sifeng sent the Asura tribesmen away and privately released the mortals, using his own spiritual power to infuse the Luotian Bell. Zi Hu came to the demon realm to persuade Wu Zhiqi not to participate in the immortal-demon war anymore, urging him not to lose the freedom he had finally gained due to a moment of impulse. However, Wu Zhiqi felt it would not be satisfying without a fight given his millennium-long feud with the heavenly realm.

Besides the old hatred, there was also the new hatred of Zi Hu being disfigured. Wu Zhiqi told Zi Hu to wait for his victorious return, but Zi Hu saw Wu Zhiqi taking risks and was unable to persuade him. Wu Zhiqi had never cared about Zi Hu's feelings before, and this time, Zi Hu was unwilling to wait any longer. War was imminent. Sifeng's Luotian Bell broke through the heavenly realm's first line of defense.

Wu Zhiqi acted as the vanguard and charged towards the heavenly realm. King Bailin, as the divine lord, was also injured. King Bailin was selfish and only protected the heavenly realm. He prepared to release the Sea of Life and Death to separate the heavenly realm and the mortal realm, abandoning the mortal realm. The other divine officials tried their best to dissuade him but could not stop him.

With the Heavenly Emperor absent, King Bailin could act on his own authority. As soon as the Sea of Life and Death was released, the Asura tribe members were shot down one after another. Zi Hu blocked the heavenly lightning for Wu Zhiqi. Wu Zhiqi's heart ached for Zi Hu. All along, Zi Hu had only wanted Wu Zhiqi to stop fighting and live a simple, peaceful life with her, but this promise came at the cost of her life.

Before she died, Zi Hu received Wu Zhiqi's love and kiss with no regrets, but Wu Zhiqi lost his beloved forever. Wu Zhiqi released the imprisoned Sifeng and told him the news of Zi Hu's death and his decision to give up fighting. However, Yuan Lang had already brought Demon Maleficent before the two of them. Demon Maleficent questioned Wu Zhiqi why he had betrayed him.

Wu Zhiqi explained that to keep his promise to Zi Hu, and since the favor from a thousand years ago had already been repaid, it was time for him to leave. Demon Maleficent was willing to let Wu Zhiqi go, but he intended to punish Sifeng with death for delaying military action. It had nothing to do with Xuanji; rather, Demon Maleficent was more interested in Sifeng's identity as a Golden Feather Token.

Demon Maleficent ordered Sifeng, in his capacity as the leader of the Golden Feather Token tribe, to have all the Golden Feather Tokens burn their demon cores to help the Asura tribe cross the Sea of Life and Death. However, burning their demon cores would mean the destruction of their cultivation. But Sifeng was no longer the leader of the Golden Feather Token tribe and could not command the Golden Feather Tokens. He even pushed Yuan Lang out.

Seeing that Sifeng refused to agree, Demon Maleficent intended to kill Sifeng. Wu Zhiqi and Sifeng resisted together. This, however, piqued Demon Maleficent's interest even more. He offered to let them go if they could withstand three of his strikes. Demon Maleficent's three strikes were extraordinary, and the last strike directly attacked the mind. Sifeng and Xuanji, sensing each other, unexpectedly broke Demon Maleficent's last strike. Demon Maleficent let Wu Zhiqi and Sifeng go.

However, for Xuanji's sake, Sifeng refused to leave and made a bet with Demon Maleficent. The bet was to summon Xuanji within three days. If Demon Maleficent lost, he would release Xuanji. If Sifeng lost, he would have to reveal the whereabouts of the Golden Feather Tokens. For these three days, Sifeng would serve as Demon Maleficent's personal demon attendant. Within these three days, Sifeng used various methods to awaken Xuanji.

Episode 56 Recap

Three days had passed, and Demon Maleficent watched as Yu Sifeng lost the bet, but Yu Sifeng produced a wishing tree. This was the place where he had once made wishes with Chu Xuanji. Demon Maleficent clearly sensed it but pretended to be completely unaware. However, Demon Maleficent did not even dare to look at the wishing tree; he was afraid of being unable to control Chu Xuanji again. Yu Sifeng guided him step by step.

Chu Xuanji saw colors for the first time and said her favorite colors. Demon Maleficent was guided by Yu Sifeng's words and involuntarily spoke of blue flowers and the fine wine of Fuyu Island. These words gave Yu Sifeng hope. Chu Xuanji truly bypassed Demon Maleficent's control and expressed her will in front of Yu Sifeng. Chu Xuanji wanted Yu Sifeng to talk more about the things she liked.

Yu Sifeng excitedly held Chu Xuanji's hand and listed them, even mentioning their promise to spend the rest of their lives together in a secluded paradise. Demon Maleficent used Chu Xuanji's mouth to ask Yu Sifeng for the location of the Golden Feather Token tribe. Yu Sifeng thought it was Chu Xuanji in front of him and revealed everything: the Golden Feather Token tribe is in the marsh of Longshan Village.

But after saying it, Yu Sifeng realized he had been tricked, but it was too late. Demon Maleficent mocked Yu Sifeng's ridiculous memories. These boring emotions and affections could not influence Demon Maleficent. But Yu Sifeng did not believe it; he clearly saw Chu Xuanji's feelings in Demon Maleficent's eyes. That kind of look could not be hidden. Demon Maleficent fundamentally did not believe in true affection.

After absorbing Chu Xuanji's primordial spirit, she would naturally abandon ridiculous emotions and affections just like him. Yu Sifeng pressed Demon Maleficent on what he had gone through to not believe in true affection in such a way. Demon Maleficent wanted to punish Yu Sifeng for his impertinence. Just as he was about to strangle Yu Sifeng, Chu Xuanji's primordial spirit woke up in Demon Maleficent's consciousness and struggled continuously, demanding that Yu Sifeng be released.

Demon Maleficent felt abnormally uncomfortable. In an instant, Chu Xuanji replaced Demon Maleficent and appeared before Yu Sifeng. But this was only for an instant. As soon as Yu Sifeng embraced Chu Xuanji, before Chu Xuanji could urge Yu Sifeng to leave, Demon Maleficent appeared again.

Yu Sifeng was confident that Demon Maleficent could not kill him, but Demon Maleficent absolutely refused to admit Chu Xuanji's influence, only emphasizing that he was sparing him because Yu Sifeng had protected the primordial spirit. Demon Maleficent sealed Yu Sifeng's meridians and confined him in the demon realm, forbidding him to leave. Demon Maleficent conversed with Chu Xuanji's primordial spirit. Chu Xuanji did not want to kill people or cause devastation.

But Demon Maleficent had also once trusted friendship and loved ones, only to be betrayed. This time, Demon Maleficent was determined to take revenge. Chu Lei brought Xiao Liu Zi and Chu Linglong before Demon Maleficent, attempting to awaken Chu Xuanji with familial affection. Demon Maleficent was very impatient, but with Chu Xuanji's primordial spirit present, it was impossible to harm his family. However, no one could stop Demon Maleficent's revenge.

Demon Maleficent was willing to protect Shaoyang, handing the Heart Fire to Chu Lei, saying that when the Hongmeng furnace fire falls, the Heart Fire could save the lives of Shaoyang's people. Yu Sifeng was very happy to see Demon Maleficent's reluctance, but Demon Maleficent did not want the hatred to be extinguished by the ten lifetimes of emotions and affections set by the heavenly realm.

Yu Sifeng tried to persuade him to let go of hatred, but Demon Maleficent could not possibly let go. Demon Maleficent revealed his true form as the God of War. The God of War's body was full of stitched-up wounds, all done by King Bailin. He and King Bailin were once close friends. He originally thought the friendship between them could transcend race and the war between celestials and demons. That day, the two drank and chatted as usual.

King Bailin showed his resistance and worry about the Asura army in front of Demon Maleficent. Demon Maleficent advised King Bailin to form a marriage alliance with the demon race, but King Bailin flatly refused, stating that celestials and demons were incompatible. King Bailin only cared about the safety of the heavenly realm; if they were defeated in battle against the Asuras, the heavenly realm would cease to exist.

Demon Maleficent originally had good news to comfort King Bailin, but King Bailin had already drugged Demon Maleficent in the wine, knocked him out, extracted his demon bone to make Juntian Cehai, then personally took out Demon Maleficent's heart and sealed it in the Crystal Lamp, and used a corner of the Crystal Lamp to form Demon Maleficent's glass heart, and changed his appearance to create the God of War for the heavenly realm, and King Bailin did all this disregard of the Heavenly Emperor's decree.

Demon Maleficent was originally loyal and righteous but was manipulated by King Bailin to slaughter his own people. How could he let go of this hatred? Now his body was merely a glass heart, so how could he care about emotions and affections? Yu Sifeng was deeply saddened by Chu Xuanji's plight, but Demon Maleficent returned to his original form, warning Yu Sifeng not to push his luck. But Yu Sifeng wanted to rescue Chu Xuanji from Demon Maleficent's hatred.

Teng She came to the demon realm to help Yu Sifeng deliver a message to the Golden Feather Token tribe. At the same time, he told Yu Sifeng that if he drugged Demon Maleficent with Sky Infant Grass juice and then drew his blood into the Crystal Lamp, the heart soul could be sealed again. Whether to use it or not was up to Yu Sifeng to decide.

But when Yu Sifeng returned to the demon realm, he saw that Yuan Lang had captured all the Golden Feather Token tribe members. Although Demon Maleficent still had intentions to protect Yu Sifeng, using the Golden Feather Token's demon cores to attack the heavenly realm was an unchangeable matter. Yu Sifeng, in order to save his tribe and Chu Xuanji, had no choice but to drug Demon Maleficent.

Just as he was about to act, Yu Sifeng remembered the God of War's hatred and put down the Crystal Lamp. Demon Maleficent had not fallen for the trick at all, and he also revealed King Bailin's conspiracy. King Bailin had placed the Great Sun Golden Flame from the Hongmeng furnace in the Crystal Lamp. If Demon Maleficent's blood was drawn into it, it would erupt with power and blast the lower realms into ashes.

King Bailin was always so vicious; he deliberately designed a conspiracy to lure Teng She to overhear and almost succeeded in getting Yu Sifeng to deceive Demon Maleficent into providing his blood as the fuse for his tribe's sake. But Yu Sifeng still disagreed with Demon Maleficent attacking the heavenly realm, saying he only needed to seek revenge on King Bailin alone.

Demon Maleficent was naturally unwilling to involve the lives of all three realms just to seek out King Bailin to resolve their grievances. But how would King Bailin dare to meet Demon Maleficent alone? He naturally hid behind the celestial realm and plotted his venomous schemes. Yu Sifeng was willing to go to the heavenly realm on behalf of Demon Maleficent to lure King Bailin out for a private meeting. If successful, Demon Maleficent would release Chu Xuanji.

This was also giving the three realms a chance. Demon Maleficent promised Yu Sifeng that if Yu Sifeng did not return alive, he would go to the heavenly realm, kill King Bailin, extract his tendons and bones to weave a soul-calling banner for Yu Sifeng. King Bailin found out about Teng She's private communication with Yu Sifeng. Teng She also knew he had been used by King Bailin and accused King Bailin of being too insidious in his actions.

King Bailin only found plausible excuses; he truly lacked the courage to face Demon Maleficent alone. Yu Sifeng unfolded his twelve golden wings and crossed the Sea of Life and Death to reach the heavenly realm. Teng She was imprisoned again. Qing Long was truly worried and brought food to Teng She, also advising Teng She to quickly let go of his feelings for the mortal realm.

Teng She said it was impossible to let go, as Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji were already his closest friends. Qing Long realized someone was trying to cross the Sea of Life and Death and wanted to stop them, but Teng She got there first, used a trick at the south gate to help Yu Sifeng enter the heavenly realm.

Teng She was suspicious of Demon Maleficent's intentions, but Yu Sifeng believed that Demon Maleficent and Chu Xuanji shared the same root and destiny. He only wanted to seek justice for himself, not cause devastation to all living beings. Qing Long unbound Teng She and came to chase Yu Sifeng. Teng She blocked Qing Long and directed Yu Sifeng to find King Bailin. King Bailin used the Central Heaven Suppression Seal to trap Yu Sifeng.

Ordinary demon races would not survive half a moment under the Central Heaven Suppression Seal. King Bailin dared not face Demon Maleficent and only pushed all the killing karma onto others. Yu Sifeng had celestial essence and was not harmed by the Suppression Seal. King Bailin investigated Yu Sifeng's true form. It turned out Yu Sifeng was the Heavenly Emperor's son, Xi Xuan, a Golden Crimson Divine Bird.

He had sacrificed ten thousand years of celestial bone to exchange for a trace of vitality for the God of War. The Heavenly Emperor already believed the heavenly realm owed the God of War and ordered the God of War and Xi Xuan to descend to the mortal realm to undergo ten lifetimes of trials before returning to the heavenly realm. And King Bailin had always had no remorse for these matters.

Episode 57 Recap

King Bailin did not expect Yu Sifeng to be Xi Xuan, the Heavenly Emperor's son. But Xi Xuan's true form is a Golden Crimson Bird. Xi Xuan's mother was a demon princess sent by the Demon King to show goodwill to the Heavenly Emperor. The demon race has always been treacherous.

When the Asura tribe rose, the demon race immediately defected to King Asura, and even Xi Xuan's mother gave up her status as a celestial consort to aid King Asura. When Xi Xuan was in the heavenly realm, he avoided involvement in the celestial-demon war, but he sacrificed his celestial bone for the Star of Mosha. King Bailin has always looked down on the demon race and scoffed at Yu Sifeng's reason for coming to the heavenly realm.

Although Yu Sifeng doesn't remember what happened a thousand years ago, he only questioned King Bailin why he treated Demon Maleficent like that. King Bailin consistently refused to admit his mistake and even argued that he treated Demon Maleficent well. Yu Sifeng exposed that King Bailin turned Demon Maleficent into the God of War only to maintain his glory in the heavenly realm.

King Bailin is an extremely selfish person, mocking Yu Sifeng for sympathizing with Demon Maleficent out of his love for Chu Xuanji. But Chu Xuanji and Demon Maleficent are co-existing, so how could Yu Sifeng give up? King Bailin repeatedly used protecting the three realms to hide his selfishness. Yu Sifeng knew that Demon Maleficent only wanted to dispel the resentment in her heart and seek justice; she absolutely could not destroy the three realms.

If King Bailin dared to let Demon Maleficent come to the heavenly realm to meet him alone, the catastrophe of the three realms might be averted. King Bailin dared not face Demon Maleficent, so Yu Sifeng made a bet with him. If Demon Maleficent overthrew the heavenly realm, Yu Sifeng would perish with Demon Maleficent in the demon realm.

But if the opposite happened, King Bailin would have to apologize to Demon Maleficent, and regardless of whether it was Chu Xuanji or Demon Maleficent in the future, King Bailin would not be allowed to appear before them. King Bailin was confident in Demon Maleficent's evil intentions and boldly gambled with Yu Sifeng. Shaoyang Sect is rushing to relocate and settle the nearby common people.

Yu Sifeng came to Shaoyang to inform them of his plan, and told Chu Linglong, Xiao Liu Zi, and the others to go to Kunlun Mountain to ask the Heavenly Emperor for help in case King Bailin broke his promise. However, finding the Heavenly Emperor still required Wu Zhiqi's help.

Yu Sifeng was not worried that Wu Zhiqi would refuse, but he was worried that the Heavenly Emperor, following the path of non-action, would not easily interfere in the feud between Demon Maleficent and King Bailin. Yu Sifeng informed Demon Maleficent that King Bailin was willing to meet her. Demon Maleficent promised not to go on a killing spree and only settle old scores with King Bailin.

Chu Linglong, Xiao Liu Zi, and Liu Yihuan went together to persuade Wu Zhiqi. Wu Zhiqi only knew how to cherish after losing, and only wanted to guard Zi Hu's grave without leaving her side. Seeing Wu Zhiqi like this, Liu Yihuan could only persuade him that if Demon Maleficent was angered and overturned the Hongmeng furnace, everything in the three realms would disappear.

Not only would Zi Hu's grave not be preserved, but Wu Zhiqi and Zi Hu's beautiful memories would also turn into nothingness. Wu Zhiqi seemed moved. Yu Sifeng, as agreed, spread his wings and took Demon Maleficent to fly over the Sea of Life and Death. Chu Linglong and the others were still waiting for Wu Zhiqi to change his mind. Wu Zhiqi was worried about Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng and finally agreed to go.

Ruo Yu appeared halfway and also wanted to join and help everyone. Although Ruo Yu had done many wrong things, he had promised Xiao Yinhua to protect Yu Sifeng, so he wanted to join the group to help. Xiao Liu Zi saw Ruo Yu's sincerity and allowed him to follow behind.

Wu Zhiqi led the group to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, telling everyone that they had to pass through Ruo Shui, the burning of Wu Ye Ming Yu fire, and the Fierce Wind and Stone Array to see the Heavenly Emperor. But Liu Yihuan was very familiar with this path from when he stole the Eye of Heaven and knew Wu Zhiqi was scaring everyone; there were other paths that led directly to Tianming Gate on the mountaintop.

There were many paths, but all had to pass through Ruo Shui. Nothing could float on Ruo Shui except for the feathers of a Golden Crimson Bird. Ruo Yu offered to help, using his own feathers to support a small boat to ferry everyone across the water. Halfway across, they encountered the Ten Witches of Kunlun. The Ten Witches were responsible for guarding the safety of Kunlun and, thinking the group were small demons, started fighting.

Wu Zhiqi was not afraid of the Ten Witches, but after knocking them into the water, a strange fragrance suddenly drifted all around. Because of the misleading fragrance, Wu Zhiqi and Ruo Yu both fell into a dreamland and even prepared to harm themselves. It turned out that this was all the doing of Wu Peng, one of the Ten Witches. She could confuse people's minds and make them live in beautiful dreams, unwilling to escape.

Chu Linglong forced Wu Peng to undo the magic to wake up Wu Zhiqi and Ruo Yu. But the Ten Witches appeared together before everyone. Fortunately, Wu Zhiqi's combat power was explosive, and he drove the Ten Witches away, which was also a moment of pride for the demons. The group broke through the obstruction of the Ten Witches and arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

However, the path up the mountain was slippery and difficult to climb, and there were nine Kaiming Beasts guarding it. But for Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng, they had already overcome thousands of difficulties and dangers, and no matter how hard it was, they had to try their best to climb the cliff. Step by step, the group successfully climbed to the top of the cliff. Along the way, Xiao Liu Zi saved Ruo Yu, which deeply moved Ruo Yu.

Ruo Yu had come to save Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng, and his feeling of admitting his mistakes was sincere. So Xiao Liu Zi also temporarily forgave him. The Kaiming Beasts came upon hearing the noise, but they were all very gluttonous. Wu Zhiqi used roasted chicken and fine wine to gain their trust. One of them, due to its gluttony and vanity, opened the Kaiming Gate with its tail to show off to Wu Zhiqi and the others.

Finally, unable to withstand the alcohol, it fell asleep. Wu Zhiqi and the others were then able to enter the Kaiming Gate. Yu Sifeng carried Demon Maleficent flying over the Sea of Life and Death, about to enter the heavenly realm. Along the way, however, there were phoenix calls that suppressed the Golden Crimson Bird. The calls were like knives piercing Yu Sifeng's internal organs. Ten thousand arrows were also shot towards Yu Sifeng and Demon Maleficent.

Yu Sifeng blocked the arrows for Demon Maleficent, and the two fell together into the Sea of Life and Death. Demon Maleficent's memories as the God of War appeared. The Heavenly Emperor had originally forgiven King Asura and ordered him to withdraw the Asura army back to the demon realm. But King Bailin, for his own selfish desires, ordered Demon Maleficent, who had become the God of War, to slaughter her own people.

Before King Asura died, he cursed the God of War to be unrelated to romantic love and familial affection for all lifetimes. The God of War annihilated the Asura tribe and returned to the heavenly realm, but she always felt uncomfortable in her heart. She began to be curious about her name and origin, and curious why King Asura called her a traitor before he died.

It was when the God of War was fighting Wu Zhiqi that Wu Zhiqi led her to see King Asura. Only then did the God of War learn that she was originally Demon Maleficent. She then returned to the heavenly realm and found a jade slip to confirm her identity and origin.

Episode 58 Recap

After learning her identity, the God of War questioned King Bailin, demanding an explanation from him and seeking to retrieve her heart and soul. For years, the God of War had been muddled, without a name or family, merely King Bailin's puppet and killing tool. Every time she killed a member of the Asura tribe, her heart would ache. Now, the entire Asura tribe had been annihilated, and all of this was King Bailin's doing.

The God of War wanted justice for herself. If the Heavenly Emperor and the heavenly realm didn't give her an explanation, she would burn down the heavenly realm. King Bailin, holding the God of War's heart and soul, easily struck down the God of War. The memory ends here. Demon Maleficent awakened in the water and ascended to the heavenly realm with Yu Sifeng. The heavenly realm was as despicable and faithless as it had been in the past.

Demon Maleficent showed no more mercy. He placed Yu Sifeng in a barrier, while he himself would kill everyone in the heavenly realm and then overturn the Hongmeng furnace, allowing the three realms to be reshaped. Demon Maleficent withdrew the Sea of Life and Death. Yuan Lang led the various demon races from the demon realm to attack the heavenly realm, and the celestial-demon war began anew.

Demon Maleficent broke the barrier set up by King Bailin and prepared to overturn the Hongmeng furnace. Teng She blocked the door. But for Demon Maleficent, Teng She was no match. King Bailin invited Demon Maleficent with an illusion to rekindle their past and drink together. A thousand years ago, a cup of wine had already caused Demon Maleficent to be stripped of his tendons and bones. How could Demon Maleficent believe him again?

He broke the illusion and confronted King Bailin directly. King Bailin still insisted that his attempts to convert Demon Maleficent for a thousand years could not quell the Asura's resentment, not admitting any mistake. He even brought out the Thirty-six Tiangang Treasure Mirror to deal with Demon Maleficent. Demon Maleficent had absorbed too much of the Asura tribe's resentment in the Sea of Life and Death, making it effortless to resist the power of the Thirty-six Tiangang.

Inside, King Bailin was helpless against Demon Maleficent, and outside, the demon race led by Yuan Lang showed no weakness either. King Bailin in the Zhongtian Hall used the laws of the heavenly way to suppress Demon Maleficent. But the Hongmeng furnace was the origin of all laws of the heavenly way. Overturn it and reshape the rules, and the laws of the heavenly way would cease to exist.

King Bailin assumed Demon Maleficent did not know the location of the Hongmeng furnace. However, Demon Maleficent had once been the God of War of the heavenly realm. He transformed his true form into the God of War, easily found the location of the Hongmeng furnace, and slowly pushed the furnace with immense power. Outside, Yu Sifeng continuously used his power to break the barrier.

Seeing that the furnace was about to be pushed over, all things in the three realms would be destroyed. The Wu Zhiqi group had already found the Queen Mother's backyard, but were again blocked by heavenly officials. So, the few of them shouted for the Heavenly Emperor outside, and indeed successfully met the Heavenly Emperor. Linglong explained their purpose, requesting the Heavenly Emperor's help to save the three realms and save Chu Xuanji.

The Heavenly Emperor had long foreseen karmic retribution, and today's situation was also created by his inability to persuade King Bailin back then. However, the reshaping of the three realms and the destiny were thus, and the Heavenly Emperor did not want to interfere and change destiny. To persuade the Heavenly Emperor, Linglong listed the destinies of several people and also explained that Yu Sifeng was Xi Xuan of the heavenly realm.

But the Heavenly Emperor was still stubborn, insisting on solving the chess game and waiting for destiny. In her haste, Linglong polluted the chessboard, causing the chess game to be solved. The Heavenly Emperor did not blame Linglong for her rashness. Instead, he became enlightened. Being within the game, he did not know how to solve it, but Linglong jumped out of the situation and unexpectedly solved it.

The destiny had arrived, and the Heavenly Emperor was willing to return to the heavenly realm with Linglong and the others to resolve the crisis. Demon Maleficent intended to use the face of the God of War to destroy the heavenly realm that King Bailin had painstakingly protected. The flames from the Hongmeng furnace poured into the mortal realm, causing widespread death and suffering, just as when the Asura tribe was annihilated back then.

Demon Maleficent wanted to completely overturn the Hongmeng furnace. Only at this moment did King Bailin feel fear. He came in his true form to stop Demon Maleficent, but Demon Maleficent pushed King Bailin to the ground. Yu Sifeng arrived in time to persuade Demon Maleficent. Demon Maleficent was not Chu Xuanji at this moment; his heart only contained hatred, not love. Overthrowing the three realms and making love and hate disappear suited his purpose.

If Yu Sifeng tried to persuade him further, Demon Maleficent would kill him too. Yu Sifeng was determined to die at this moment; he had not left half of his primordial spirit in the demon realm. Rather than becoming a walking corpse without memories, it was better to die here at the hands of Demon Maleficent. Demon Maleficent was only interested in overturning the furnace and had no interest in killing Yu Sifeng personally.

Yu Sifeng desperately resisted the power of Juntian Cehai. Just as Yu Sifeng was about to be unable to resist, the Heavenly Emperor appeared and blocked Juntian Cehai. The Heavenly Emperor first showed concern for Yu Sifeng, and then Demon Maleficent shed the appearance of the God of War and conversed with the Heavenly Emperor. Furthermore, the Heavenly Emperor brought Wu Zhiqi, Linglong, and the others to the heavenly realm as well.

The feud between King Bailin and Demon Maleficent concerned the three realms and required representatives from all three realms to be present. King Bailin still accused Demon Maleficent of being a great demon, but King Bailin created the God of War, activated the All Heavens Meteor Star Array, and released the Sea of Life and Death. Every single one of these acts was horrific and harmed the common people.

The Heavenly Emperor unceremoniously pointed out that it was King Bailin who had become possessed by demonic nature. What King Bailin had been protecting was merely his own delusion, not the three realms at all. In fact, the mistake started from the edge of the White Jade Pavilion by the Ruo Shui. The one who was wrong was King Bailin.

A thousand years ago, Demon Maleficent had already persuaded King Asura to withdraw his troops and preserve peace in the three realms. But King Bailin was obsessed with his delusion, killed the Star of Mosha, and created the God of War, only then causing the three realms to never find peace. Later, the God of War descended to the mortal realm to undergo trials.

In fact, she had already completed ten lifetimes and returned to the heavenly realm with Yu Sifeng. The God of War's heart had been reborn with flesh and blood; she understood worldly love and affection and was willing to join hands with Yu Sifeng to protect the common people of the three realms together. It was King Bailin who repeatedly obstructed, causing the God of War to be filled with hostility, making her trials difficult.

In fact, King Bailin had planted evil in his heart from the beginning and then used that evil to accuse others. King Bailin's inner demon was deeply rooted; he had not comprehended the great truth that everything in the world is empty. There was no distinction of status between the heavenly realm, mortal realm, and the demon-Asura realm. King Bailin realized his great mistake and requested instructions from the Heavenly Emperor on how to remedy it.

But it was too late. King Bailin was willing to dispel his divine status and immortal powers to appease the three realms. The celestial officials in the heavenly realm were reluctant for King Bailin to do this, but King Bailin's decision was final. The Heavenly Emperor could only follow the law of destiny and allow King Bailin to punish himself in this way.

King Bailin, in front of everyone, stripped away his divine status and was reduced to a loose immortal. However, even with this, King Bailin still could not eliminate the resentment in Demon Maleficent's heart. In this lifetime, Demon Maleficent had already found the person he loved most. The Heavenly Emperor persuaded Demon Maleficent to let go of past resentment and not drown in anger. Demon Maleficent did not listen to the persuasion.

In the eyes of the heavenly realm, whether human or demon, they were all so lowly. Gods were forever high above. Only by overturning the Hongmeng furnace and reshaping the rules of the three realms could everything be settled. The Heavenly Emperor would not rashly interfere with the pushing of the Hongmeng furnace. He only warned Demon Maleficent of the consequences after it was overturned: regardless of family or friends, all karma would dissipate.

Yu Sifeng desperately persuaded Demon Maleficent to look back at the loved ones beside him. Regardless of the past, the current Demon Maleficent had family and friends; they all deeply loved Demon Maleficent. Seeing that Demon Maleficent was about to be moved, Yuan Lang quickly pointed out that the people present cared about Chu Xuanji, not Demon Maleficent. Only by overturning the furnace and allowing the remaining demon primordial spirits to survive would the demon race rule the three realms.

Demon Maleficent persisted stubbornly, and the Heavenly Emperor allowed him to do so. At this moment, Chu Xuanji's memories scattered and appeared. Seeing the loved ones and friends disappearing one by one before her, there was a struggle between Chu Xuanji and Demon Maleficent. Demon Maleficent also shed Chu Xuanji's tears.

It turned out that the Heavenly Emperor had just strummed the string of the Yellow Millet Dream, allowing Demon Maleficent to see what would happen after the Hongmeng furnace was overturned, hoping this would make Demon Maleficent reconsider. Yu Sifeng seized the opportunity to persuade Demon Maleficent that since flesh and blood had grown in his heart, he should not be blinded by hatred.

But Yuan Lang was at the side, slandering Yu Sifeng, saying he had betrayed Demon Maleficent and conspired with King Bailin to harm him. Fortunately, Demon Maleficent deeply believed in Yu Sifeng's bond of ten lifetimes and would not betray him. Instead, he wanted to settle the score for Yuan Lang's past betrayal and ordered Yuan Lang to commit suicide in front of everyone. Yuan Lang was enraged and swore to become the master of the three realms and overturn the furnace.

Episode 59 (Ending) Recap

Seeing that Yuan Lang was about to overturn the Hongmeng furnace, Yu Sifeng, in order to protect his memories with Chu Xuanji, forcefully held up the Hongmeng furnace. Yuan Lang, with a vicious mind, stabbed his sword into Yu Sifeng's heart. Yu Sifeng exerted himself to shake off Yuan Lang and continued to support the furnace. Just as Yu Sifeng's strength was depleted, Demon Maleficent transformed back into Chu Xuanji and took over from Yu Sifeng.

Yu Sifeng knew that Chu Xuanji was reluctant to destroy the three realms because her heart had grown flesh and blood, and this heart was warmed little by little by Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng's heart had been pierced, and Chu Xuanji was powerless, but Yu Sifeng was very happy to exchange his heart for Chu Xuanji's.

He only hoped that Chu Xuanji would protect the three realms well, because as long as the three realms existed, many of Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji's beautiful memories would also remain. Finally, Yu Sifeng asked Chu Xuanji to remember that no matter how many difficulties they experienced, meeting Chu Xuanji was the happiest thing in Yu Sifeng's several lifetimes. Yu Sifeng's hand could no longer hold Chu Xuanji, and Yu Sifeng's departure completely dispelled Demon Maleficent's resentment.

Chu Xuanji was also released from Demon Maleficent's body. Yuan Lang broke free from the restraints and still intended to overturn the furnace to become the master of the three realms. Chu Xuanji held Yuan Lang firmly. Ruo Yu rushed forward and stabbed Yuan Lang to death. Yuan Lang had taken away Ruo Yu's closest kin and beloved. At this moment, Ruo Yu finally lived for himself.

However, Yuan Lang had become mad to become the master of the three realms. He threw Ruo Yu into the Hongmeng furnace in a final desperate attempt to overturn the furnace. Chu Xuanji did not want the three realms to be destroyed, because her beautiful memories with Yu Sifeng would also turn to desolation. Chu Xuanji pleaded with the Heavenly Emperor to help her stabilize the furnace.

Seeing that Chu Xuanji's hostility had completely disappeared, the Heavenly Emperor was also willing to help. The furnace was saved, and the three realms were also peaceful. Xi Xuan and King Bailin's bet was lost. King Bailin finally realized his mistake and requested Chu Xuanji to end him, but Chu Xuanji had already been moved by Yu Sifeng. Vengeance only leads to endless cycles.

In this life, Chu Xuanji had something more important in her heart and was unwilling to casually decide others' lives. As soon as Chu Xuanji finished speaking, Demon Maleficent separated from Chu Xuanji's body. Demon Maleficent envied Chu Xuanji for finding her beloved and family in this life, making her more fortunate than himself, and Demon Maleficent was also moved by Yu Sifeng's deep affection. The feud between Demon Maleficent and King Bailin had reached the time for a conclusion.

That day by the Ruo Shui at the White Jade Pavilion, Demon Maleficent drank the wine offered by King Bailin. Now it was time for King Bailin to reciprocate. The drinking session finally ended. King Bailin knew that ten thousand years of cultivation had only brought him illusion. Now, being able to die was his due. When a person is about to die, their words are often kind.

King Bailin repeatedly admonished the celestial officials to take him as a warning and not fall into inner demons and suffer eternal damnation. King Bailin voluntarily requested to fall into the Path of Calamity and Rebirth to cultivate anew. He hoped that when the opportunity arose, he could return to the heavenly realm and listen to the Heavenly Emperor's teachings.

The celestial officials were reluctant to part with King Bailin and shed tears, but King Bailin and Demon Maleficent had already re-entered the cycle of rebirth together. The Heavenly Emperor ordered everyone not to create any more killing karma. From this day forward, there would be no distinction of status in the three realms, and they would live in harmony.

Chu Xuanji begged the Heavenly Emperor to save Yu Sifeng, but life and death are matters of destiny, and the Heavenly Emperor could not interfere. However, just now, Demon Maleficent had brushed past Yu Sifeng's chest and had placed the Crystal Heart into Yu Sifeng's body. Although the Crystal Heart had grown flesh and blood, it could only keep Yu Sifeng alive; whether he could wake up depended on fate.

Chu Xuanji held Yu Sifeng tightly, firmly believing he would wake up. Brother Liu anxiously inquired about his daughter's whereabouts. Fortunately, the father-daughter bond between them was not severed. The Heavenly Emperor ordered Brother Liu to return to Qingyang and enjoy familial bliss. Seeing Brother Liu's fulfillment, Wu Zhiqi quickly pleaded with the Heavenly Emperor to resurrect Zi Hu.

But Zi Hu had already died, enduring a thousand years of lovesickness for Wu Zhiqi, and was now preparing for rebirth in the Path of Calamity and Rebirth. Wu Zhiqi anxiously left in an instant to search for Zi Hu. Chu Xuanji wanted to take Yu Sifeng back to Shaoyang and also knew that Teng She had deep affection for King Bailin, so she allowed Teng She to guard King Bailin's tomb in the heavenly realm.

Teng She could leave Chu Xuanji for a thousand years, ten thousand years, a thousand miles, or ten thousand miles if he wished. Zi Hu, before the waters of Wangchuan, was reluctant to part with her thousand years of memories with Wu Zhiqi. Fortunately, Wu Zhiqi arrived in time to stop Zi Hu from entering the Path of Calamity. Wu Zhiqi had finally understood his feelings and would not betray Zi Hu again. The two finally achieved fulfillment.

Brother Liu returned to Qingyang with large and small bags and saw his precious Yuer. He couldn't help but shed tears for a moment. The father and daughter lived together in peace for the rest of their lives. Chu Xuanji took care of the unconscious Yu Sifeng, waiting for the day he would wake up.

In the small bamboo house, Chu Xuanji stayed with Yu Sifeng through the four seasons of wind and rain, telling Yu Sifeng anecdotes about Linglong and Xiao Liuzi. These two childishly argued and bickered over who their future baby would look like. Chu Xuanji also slowly recounted their past beautiful memories to Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng had slept for a long time, but the calluses left on his hands from practicing sword moves had not disappeared.

Chu Xuanji talked to Yu Sifeng like this year after year, anticipating his awakening. Heaven does not disappoint those with a heart. Chu Xuanji finally waited for a healthy Yu Sifeng who could talk, hug, and had warmth. Chu Xuanji happily shed tears while holding Yu Sifeng. With Chu Xuanji there, Yu Sifeng would definitely return. When Yu Sifeng woke up, Chu Xuanji eagerly dragged him to ask her father for her hand in marriage.

After going through so many things, Yu Sifeng had suffered so much for Chu Xuanji and the righteous path. Chu Lei, originally deeply apologetic for having made things difficult for Yu Sifeng before, felt heartache for Yu Sifeng, who had never complained. Naturally, he agreed to Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji's marriage. On the day of the great wedding, Chu Xuanji, unrestrained by etiquette, ran out of the room to watch the commotion.

Ting Nu's eyes were probably swollen from crying, which caused him to produce many pearls as a wedding gift for Chu Xuanji. The fate between Ting Nu and the God of War had transformed into blessings for Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng, dressed in a grand red robe, stepped forward with firm steps, arriving at Shaoyang with great dignity to marry Chu Xuanji.

Chu Xuanji was the destiny Yu Sifeng had cultivated in the heavens, on earth, and in the mortal realm over ten lifetimes. Yu Sifeng vowed to cherish Chu Xuanji in every life. With Yu Sifeng's promise, Chu Lei, though very reluctant, felt reassured in handing Chu Xuanji's hand to Yu Sifeng. Yu Sifeng's arrival to marry her was something Chu Xuanji had waited for a long time.

The two bid farewell to her father and walked out of Shaoyang hand in hand. Yu Sifeng used his Golden Red Bird as a guide and spread his twelve golden wings to embrace Chu Xuanji and fly her into the palanquin. The two arrived at their own small bamboo house to complete their wedding night.

Yu Sifeng had longed for this day for a long time and wanted the wedding night candles to burn brightly all night, which made Chu Xuanji feel shy. But facing the only person in the world who would give everything for her, Chu Xuanji was also captivated. The wedding night concluded, and the two finally became husband and wife. Three years later, Chu Lei celebrated his birthday again. Linglong, who was pregnant, was busy arranging things everywhere.

Xiao Liuzi was nervous about Linglong, and the two bickered and played again. Chu Xuanji sent the two away and finally got to secretly drink some wine, only to be stopped by Yu Sifeng, who was holding their child. Ting Nu, Liu Yihuan, and Yuer also came to Shaoyang to celebrate the birthday. Everyone was in a joyous mood, except for Yu Sifeng, who was chasing after Chu Xuanji, who was drinking, with their child in his arms.

Fortunately, Teng She came to help Yu Sifeng out of the predicament. A thousand years ago, Chu Xuanji was an existence that was created. Every step she took was outside the scope of fate. Becoming a demon, an immortal, or a mortal were all her own choices.

In the heavens and the mortal realm, over ten lifetimes, although she went through hardships, the moment she could embrace Yu Sifeng now made Chu Xuanji sigh that the feeling of being a grown-up was truly wonderful.
