The Seven Relics of ill Omen Episode 31 Recap
> The Seven Relics of ill Omen Recap
As soon as they reached the ancient tree, Cao Fangfang flew out and began pecking at the tree incessantly. Mu Dai guessed that the seventh Heart Slip was inside a burl on the tree, so she cut it down and placed it into the water. The Heart Slip did emerge, but the colors of the previous six remained faint. Luo Ren instinctively felt that something was wrong. Zheng Mingshan brought the six previous Heart Slips to Fengzi Ridge.
When all seven Heart Slips were reunited, Luo Ren and the others simultaneously squeezed their blood into the tank and reached in together. This time, the watery vision before them was different—it showed five people in ancient robes performing a death sacrifice to seal the Heart Slip. The Mystic explained that the Heart Slip would grow, and with each growth its energy would strengthen. Correspondingly, the method to subdue it would change.
In Master Dade’s time, the Immortal Wood and Phoenix Luan Buckle were sufficient to seal it. But by the time of Meihua Zhao, only a death sacrifice worked. Upon hearing this, everyone grew heavy-hearted, and Cao Yanhua completely broke down. Back then, there was still the Immortal Wood and the Phoenix Luan Buckle. Now, they had nothing. Thirteen-Thousand said they weren’t even qualified to perform a death sacrifice.
Yan Hongsha went to another room and made herself a cup of instant noodles. She stuck a match in it and wished herself a happy birthday when it failed to light. Thirteen-Thousand, seeing this, prepared a birthday cake and celebrated with everyone. Seeing how discouraged everyone looked, the Mystic bought them a family-sized fried chicken bucket to lift morale.
While watching a maze drawing on the street, Luo Ren had a flash of insight—when trapped in a dead end, sticking to the rules only leads to death. Only by breaking out of the trap can one find a new path. The Mystic told everyone that although they no longer had the Immortal Wood or Phoenix Luan Buckle, they could still succeed by finding something with equivalent properties. Luo Ren shared his idea with everyone.
He wanted to become a living lock, to draw the Heart Slip into his body and act as a living version of the Immortal Wood and Phoenix Luan Buckle. Although the chance of success was fifty-fifty, everyone agreed to his plan. Everyone began making final arrangements with family or friends. Yan Hongsha could only look at a photo of her grandfather. Mu Dai refrained from calling Huo Zihong to avoid making him worry.
Together, they returned to the ancient tree, where it unexpectedly began to snow. Luo Ren told Mu Dai that if they survived this, they should get married. Mu Dai smiled and said yes. Everyone injected the Heart Slip into their bodies. Luo Ren handed the Mystic a dagger, telling him not to hesitate if anything went wrong. Ten minutes passed with no signs or symptoms.
The Mystic started to panic, so the group deliberately entrusted him with various tasks to ease the tension. Finally, they prepared to take a group photo. But as soon as the picture was taken, everyone froze in place. They had fallen into an illusion created by the seventh Heart Slip. Zhang Guanghua appeared—he was the seventh Heart Slip. With the reunion of all seven, the seventh had been activated.
The seventh Heart Slip revealed that everything had been part of his plan. The person who inspired Luo Ren at the maze art stand had been him. He said he existed inside the minds of the five of them. The seven Heart Slips were originally one entity. The five of them were link vessels. When the seven Heart Slips were broken apart and sealed by Master Dade, five of the links were planted into his five disciples.
That’s why those five had fallen unconscious for days before fully recovering. The five members of the Phoenix Squad were their descendants—carefully selected, and their internal link vessels were the most intact, stored deep in the recesses of their consciousness. Everything had been orchestrated by the seventh Heart Slip to achieve the complete reunification. The Heart Slips' ultimate goal was to destroy Earth. The seventh Heart Slip offered Mu Dai the chance to return to where everything began.
Mu Dai saw the moment of her own birth—she was not adopted. The Mystic dragged all five of them into a tent. Cao Fangfang was missing. Suddenly, Yan Hongsha began moving toward Thirteen-Thousand.
