Bai Cha kept absorbing resentment, and Kunlun and the others were no match for him—they were wounded. Lu Yao said there was no other way, just like what happened back in Wuzhang Kingdom—someone had to absorb the resentment, then be killed to resolve it. When they were children, Lu Jiu once asked Lu Yao if making a wish to a nine-tailed fox would really make it come true. Lu Yao said of course it would.

Lu Jiu said he couldn’t grow nine tails, and Lu Yao replied that he could just make a wish to her. Lu Yao used her own nine tails to make a wish, willing to burn her soul with true fire to absorb the resentment. Lu Jiu begged her to stop, calling her “sister. ” Lu Yao said she had always heard him call her sister.

Kunlun pleaded with her not to do it, saying he would hate her, would scold her. Lu Yao replied that having Kunlun be the one to send her off was too cruel, so she would let the Samadhi True Fire that had accompanied her since childhood end her life. Lu Yao absorbed the resentment and her soul was scattered. Bai Cha was injured, but now Kunlun and Lu Jiu were both full of resentment.

Bai Cha gained power from it, and a fight broke out. Though Lu Jiu now had nine tails, he still wasn’t a match for Bai Cha for the moment. The Celestial Monarch used his true form to set up the Realm of Suffering, trapping Hongning and Jinxiu inside. Jinxiu saw his parents—this time they didn’t leave him but stayed by his side as he grew up.

Hongning was actually the red camellia planted in the backyard by Jinxiu’s mother, left behind as a gift for him. Jinxiu said he was the red tea, and he was the peony—they shared the same origin. From now on, they would grow together and cultivate immortality side by side. This wasn’t something that actually happened, nor was it an illusion—it was Jinxiu’s innermost thoughts and desires.

Hongning, having cultivated into human form, was approached by a version of Jinxiu who tried to take her hand. She saw another Jinxiu standing nearby and didn’t take the hand of the one in front of her. Jinxiu walked over and merged with the other version of himself, then held Hongning’s hand. Hongning saw the two of them living in the Realm of Suffering and wanted Jinxiu to wake up.

The Celestial Monarch said this was what Jinxiu truly desired—a life like this. Hongning said that everything they had experienced, both the good and the bad, had made Jinxiu who he was. To strip all that away just to live an ideal life was to deny the meaning of his existence in this world. She said she was just an insignificant red camellia, but even so, she had things she wanted to do.

She returned the finger bone to Jinxiu, hoping he would wake up. The finger bone returned to his side, and Jinxiu saw the camellia petals nearby. Jinxiu broke through the Realm of Suffering, and the Celestial Monarch was gravely injured. Jinxiu was heartbroken, feeling that he had used the finger bone to save Hongning’s life, and since the favor had not yet been repaid, he should be the one to decide when to take it back.

The Celestial Monarch said that ten thousand years ago, he had made a wish to the Venerable of the Celestial Tome—he had exchanged his emotions to rebuild order in the Three Realms. Was that truly wrong? Jinxiu said that it was merely his order, not the order of the Three Realms. Since the beginning of creation, there had been immortals, demons, and humans—they were meant to coexist.

The Celestial Monarch said he was willing to remove his divine bones, hoping Jinxiu would scatter his qilin blood across the mountains and rivers, to dissolve the resentment and bring peace to the Three Realms. Jinxiu said that if it was for the sake of all living beings, he was willing to do it. Bai Cha attacked, and Kunlun and Lu Jiu arrived to fight him.

Bai Cha said that even immortals were not so lofty—they, too, were dirty and full of desires. Otherwise, how could his Jiao Rong Sword have power?
