[The Blossoming Love]

[Episode 19]

My father used to tell me he loved my mother very much.

But my mother had dystocia

and passed away after I was born.

Now it seems...

they might have been lies.

Even my mother's body is missing.

Also, my Master...

I know she has many secrets.

But after all, she raised and nurtured me.

I wonder whether it's right or wrong to tell her secrets to Xie Xuechen.

And Mu Xuanling...

if she really shares my bloodline and she's really my mother's biological child,

should I like her

or should I hate her?

I don't know either.

Did I tell you too much?

Not at all.

You'll feel better if you talk about certain things.

You can solve them one by one by talking about them.

When you look back after solving them,

you'll realize they are not such a big deal after all.

In fact, sometimes, the truth is not that important.

You are who you are.

This will never change.

Those who love you, they won't leave because of this.

Those who leave, you don't need to care about them.

Anyway, just be the happiest Cultivator Gao in whatever you do.

I didn't expect you to be good at comforting people.

We're friends.

If you ever feel troubled, just let me know anytime.

Friends?

You're the third person to call me a friend after I grew up.

Who are the other two?

The first was my junior sister, Cui Wanwan.

She stayed with me in Mirage Palace for ten years

but it turned out she was a spy from Decaying Immortal Pavilion.

She was exposed later...

and killed by Master.

The second person was Mu Xuanling.

She told me yesterday that she regarded me as a friend

but it turned out to be fake too.

You're the third person.

I swear I'm a true friend.

A true friend!

I believe you, true friend!

[Rejuvenation Pavilion]

Your Grace.

What is it?

The Saintess, Xie Xuechen and the rest

left Bright Moon Villa and have arrived at Mirage Palace.

It seems they've found something.

I've mastered the Jade Archway Technique. My spiritual apertures are now open.

This is the perfect time to reunite with old friends.

All old and new grudges for the past years

should be settled properly.

[Valley of Fallen Stars]

Master.

Palace Master Su, have you made your decision?

This flower beside me is called "A Joyful Rendezvous".

It feeds on blood.

But if it consumes blood from close relatives, its petals will turn black.

Regardless of the result today, it must only be known to us.

This must not be leaked out.

If you agree, make a vow.

Otherwise, pretend that I've never mentioned it.

I agree.

I don't agree.

City Lord Xie, what's the meaning of this?

Palace Master Su, what's the meaning of this too?

This is not "A Joyful Rendezvous".

This is "Evil Autumn Wind".

You'll form a blood pact with it if you drip fresh blood on it,

fall under its control and become its slave.

Although they look similar, one's a plant and the other's a strange beast.

Their aura is different.

Palace Master Su, you should know about this.

Master.

City Lord Xie, you colluded with a demoness from the Dark Domain

to raid my Mirage Palace.

Don't blame my ruthlessness for punishing evil to seek justice.

She even dares to attack you directly.

What is she trying to hide?

Palace Master Su, your array can't trap me.

If you insist on doing this, it'll harm Mirage Palace.

Are you sure you want Mirage Palace to suffer losses

because of your selfish motives?

Is this how a Palace Master shoulders responsibility?

I act righteously to wipe out demons. How is this selfish?

Form the array!

Master!

Palace Master Su is crazy. She even dares to attack City Lord Xie!

What do we do now?

A'Bao, stay here and don't go out. I'm going to help.

- Nan Xuyue, why are you here? - Sail the Floating Cloud Sky Boat now

over Valley of Fallen Stars and block out the sunlight.

Block out the sunlight?

Su Ningzhen doesn't have enough power.

She must draw on the force of nature to defeat Xie Xuechen.

This golden cage uses sunlight as its source.

As long as the sun shines, the golden cage will never be destroyed.

The stronger the sunlight, the golden cage becomes stronger.

No wonder she scheduled the meeting at this hour.

She planned the ambush in advance.

Master, if something happens to Xie Xuechen in Mirage Palace,

how will you explain it to the Immortal Alliance?

Why should I explain?

It's enough as long as I get what I want.

Master, is your target Mu Xuanling? Why, Master?

Who exactly is she? Tell me, Master!

- Stop her! - Yes, Master!

Master!

Let me go! Master!

Jade Archway Technique. Break it!

Xie Xuechen!

Master!

Palace Master.

Sang Qi...

City Lord Xie, how does the Jade Archway Technique feel?

How is it possible for you to master it?

Of course, it's with the help of Ling'er.

I told you we're not on the same side.

I'm on my Master's side.

Ling'er.

Where is Su Ningxi's body?

She's dead. What more do you want?

Who gave her the rights to die like this?

Even if she's dead, I want to dig her up, crush her bones to ashes and scatter them!

Don't even think about it.

Back then, you were also among those who ambushed me

at Wind-Resting Pavilion. Isn't that so?

Twenty years have passed. The people from Mirage Palace

are still as hateful!

Sang Qi!

Qiumin!

Fool.

Master!

Su Ningzhen, you can ignore Mirage Palace.

You can disregard your life but this person

was raised by you. You pinned your hopes on her

and even passed your cultivation to her.

If you want her to live, tell me where Su Ningxi is.

She is Ningxi's daughter. She carries Ningxi's bloodline.

Do you really want to kill her?

Stupid woman.

Su Ningxi betrayed me and gave birth to this bastard with Gao Fengxu

and you still asked me for mercy?

But... you've reminded me.

Today, I'll cut off one of her arms first

to avenge that slash from the sword back then.

No! Ningxi didn't betray you!

I harmed you. It wasn't Ningxi!

[Twenty years ago]

Ningzhen, I'm leaving.

Where are you going?

I promised Sang Qi to go into seclusion with him.

But you also promised me you would never leave me.

For a Spirit Clan member whom you've just met,

are you abandoning the younger sister who's been with you since childhood?

A'Zhen, you've grown up. You no longer need my protection.

I don't know when it started. You're protecting me instead.

I trained so hard so I wouldn't hold you back.

I didn't want you to get hurt while protecting me when I was young.

If becoming stronger means you'll leave, I'd rather keep being useless!

Older Sister, if you betray Mirage Palace, Master won't let you and Sang Qi off.

Gao Fengxu will also send people to pursue and kill you both.

Older Sister, is this really worth it?

A'Zhen, one day, you'll meet someone who truly enters your life.

I don't want that!

Su Ningxi dared to ally with the Spirit Clan. She's deprecating and belittling herself.

It's disgraceful to Mirage Palace!

Master, that Spirit Clan member have used witchcraft to bewitch Older Sister

and caused her to lose her senses.

Please don't blame her.

You've done well.

When and where are they meeting to run away?

4.30 p.m. tomorrow at Wind-resting Pavilion.

[Wind-resting Pavilion]

Apply this bottle of Spirit Capturing Flower Extract on your neck and cheeks.

Disguise as Ningxi to lure and kill Sang Qi.

The scent of Spirit Capturing Flower Extract can confuse one's mind.

- It'll let the person sees who he most wanted to see. - Ningxi!

Even cultivators at the Spiritual Form stage...

- You're here. That's enough. - ...cannot resist its effects.

It was me who disguised as Ning Xi,

stole her Sword of Vitality, and cut off your arm.

Form the Beast-Trap Array!

The Beast-Trap Array is complete.

Stop entangling yourself with this Spirit clansman.

Ning Xi!

Why?

Because you disgust me.

So... everything before... was all a lie?

From start to finish, it was a trap!

As the Young Madam of the Mirage Palace,

how could I ever fall for a vile spirit like you?

Every word I said was just to survive.

Who knew you'd take it seriously?

So I went along with it.

Kill this remnant of the Canglang Clan!

It wasn't Ning Xi...

Madam...

But in the end, she still married Gao Feng Xu

- and bore this bastard! - No!

She didn't marry Gao Feng Xu.

Ning Xi is dead.

She died before the wedding.

Ning Xi, Sang Qi is already dead.

You should stop resisting,

and obediently marry into the Moonlight Heights.

No...

He's not dead.

You cut off his arm,

but you let him escape, didn't you?

At the Wind Pavilion,

Sang Qi was ambushed by the five great elders and me.

Do you think he could have survived?

I know you can bring the dead back to life.

To prevent future trouble, I've already reduced Sang Qi's body to ashes.

I only brought back this arm as proof to you.

Ning Xi, as long as you behave,

all your past mistakes can be forgiven.

Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy.

Madam, Ning Xi just couldn't think clearly for a moment.

I'll persuade her.

Ning Zhen...

It was you...

You pretended to be me, and deceived him, didn't you?

Ning Xi, I truly did it for your sake.

Enough!

Su Ning Xi, in seven days,

people from the Moonlight Heights will come here to pick up the bride.

If you refuse to comply, I will find a way to make you submit!

Ning Xi, you're about to get married, yet you're still helping me with my hair.

After this, I won't be able to stay with you anymore,

nor will there be a chance to have a good chat with you.

Try to keep your temper in check,

and don't act too impulsively, or you'll suffer for it.

When cultivating, never be greedy for quick results.

Excess leads to harm.

If you lose control and fall into madness, I won't be there to help you anymore.

I wanted to leave before, but I just couldn't let you go.

I've discussed with Sang Qi.

Once we find a place to settle, if you're willing, we'll bring you there.

If not, the Mirage Palace will still be your safe home.

You're diligent, driven, and very obedient.

Among the disciples, you're the most outstanding one.

One day, Madam will surely pass her position on to you.

I promised to always stay with you, but now I have to break that promise.

In the future,

you'll have many disciples who respect you, and love you.

You'll also meet someone who truly understands and cherishes you.

But Sang Qi... he has only me.

I can't bear to deceive him, nor do I wish to abandon him.

Ning Xi!

What's wrong?

Someone, come quickly!

Don't call for anyone...

Ning Xi...

Three days ago, I took Fading Poison.

In this body of mine, even seeking death is difficult.

Promise me one last thing: bury me together with Sang Qi.

If there's a next life, I'll repay him for an entire lifetime.

Ning Xi... Ning Xi!

I was wrong.

Sang Qi isn't dead.

He escaped, Ning Xi.

Ning Xi, don't leave me!

Her body is filled with endless vitality.

Trying to end her life is nearly impossible.

Only Fading Poison, the most poisonous thing in the world,

could bring her death,

but only after three days of unbearable pain in her heart.

Ning Xi... Ning Xi...

Ning Xi, no!

You're awake.

Madam...

Where is this, Madam?

Where's Ning Xi?

Su Ning Xi...

is already dead.

So it wasn't a dream.

Ning Xi really is gone.

Tomorrow is the wedding ceremony.

All sects of the Immortal Alliance will attend.

You'll disguise yourself as Ning Xi, and marry Gao Feng Xu.

- But Ning Xi is dead! - So what?

If people find out Su Ning Xi colluded with the Spirit Clan,

and the immortal Primal Celestial Maiden even died for love,

how could the Mirage Palace maintain its standing in the Alliance?

Ning Zhen, be obedient.

This concerns the reputation of the Mirage Palace and the Moonlight Heights.

We can't let anyone detect the truth.

Ning Xi is dead,

but we must go on living.

I can't do it.

I...

Madam, I need to see my sister!

After the wedding ceremony, I'll let you see her.

Otherwise, you'll never see her again in this life!

I never knew...

never knew everything she suffered.

All this time, I thought she betrayed me,

that she hurt me.

I hated her my whole life.

So...

Gao Qiu Min is Su Ning Zhen's daughter.

The one who married Gao Feng Xu back then was Su Ning Zhen.

Madam, what is my true identity?

I'd rather Qiu Min be my child.

Gao Feng Xu insisted on marrying Ning Xi

only because he desired her Primal Celestial Maiden body.

Her spiritual channels are the source of spiritual power.

Her womb is the root of vitality.

She has a lifespan of a thousand years.

- Madam... Madam! - Even after death, her vitality lingers.

Gao Feng Xu and Miao Hua wouldn't even spare her corpse!

Gao Feng Xu infused his blood, and the Chaos Pearl together into Ning Xi's body,

using her vitality to nourish it.

He wanted the Chaos Pearl to accept him as its master.

But to his utter shock, the Chaos Pearl didn't recognize him.

Instead, it formed a child within Ning Xi's body.

Just like a pregnancy, Ning Xi's belly grew day by day.

Until ten months later,

they cut her open...

When Qiu Min was born, the Chaos Pearl vanished.

Gao Feng Xu and Qiu Min had their bloodline tested,

confirming they were related by blood.

So we believed that the Chaos Pearl fused with his blood

and took human form.

He was overjoyed, and publicly claimed that Ning Xi died in childbirth.

He created the fake pearl that Miao Hua eventually hid in the Pearl Tower.

Madam, then does that mean I am the Chaos Pearl?

Before, I always thought so, too.

But it wasn't until yesterday that I realized we were all wrong.

The Chaos Pearl didn't fuse with Gao Feng Xu's blood, nor did it disappear.

It escaped!

That dazzling light didn't mark Qiu Min's birth.

It was the Chaos Pearl descending.

It escaped, hidden by that burst of light.

And all of us assumed it had transformed into Qiu Min.

Mu Xuan Ling is the true Chaos Pearl!

She and Qiu Min were both born from Ning Xi's body,

thus they share a bloodline connection.

Qiu Min also mentioned

that when Mu Xuan Ling was a child, her face bore demonic patterns.

Those patterns are identical to the sacred markings of the Chaos Pearl!

So...

they weren't demonic patterns.

I am the Chaos Pearl.

If that's the case, then everything makes sense.

Mu Xuan Ling has no spiritual channels or essence.

The so-called demonic patterns are markings from the Chaos Pearl.

Her demonic aura is merely the Chaos Pearl's energy.

No one in this world truly knows what the Chaos Pearl's energy is like.

Assumptions were made, mistaking her for a Spirit Clan member.

All these years, I've searched for Ning Xi's vitality in Qiu Min,

but I never found it.

It turns out I was looking at the wrong person.

Mu Xuan Ling is the true Chaos Pearl.

She absorbed Ning Xi's vitality.

Perhaps by capturing her, we could revive Ning Xi!

Sang Qi, I know you want Ning Xi to live, too.

Capture her.

This is the only hope!

Madam!

Madam! Are you okay, Madam?

Master... are you really going to hurt me?

Ling...

ten years ago at the Moonlight Heights,

the reason I noticed you was

because I sensed Ning Xi's aura faintly in you.

But you're not like her.

What I saw in you

was myself.

If Ning Xi and I had a child,

it would probably be like you.

So even though I knew you carried ill will towards me,

I never truly considered hurting you.

Come here.

Sang Qi, you are not a heartless man.

Otherwise, Su Ning Xi wouldn't have fallen for you.

Sacrificing Mu Xuan Ling won't truly bring Su Ning Xi back.

Do you really want to do this?

But what if there's even a sliver of hope?

I don't want to, and cannot give up on reviving Su Ning Xi.

This hope lies with Ling,

with the Chaos Pearl.

Ling,

come here.

I won't harm your life.

Miracle requires equivalent exchange.

To revive someone dead for twenty years, how is that easy?

Defying the natural order will face consequences.

Today, I won't let you harm her, not even slightly.

No one can stop me!

- You've gone mad. - So what if I have?

Madness is nothing compared to the horrors of the human heart!

Xie Xue Chen, now my spiritual channels have opened,

filled with the spiritual power of Jade Vault, and the demonic energy of the Dark Abyss.

With your mortal body, how can you stop me?

Enough talk.

Let's find out.

Ling, kill Xie Xue Chen.

Kill him!

Ling, kill him!

Mu Xuan Ling, in the Snow City,

you can live like an ordinary person.

Tonight, I feel like I've finally seen the real human world.

Mu Xuan Ling, wait for me.

Ling!

Nan Xu Yue, hurry... take her somewhere safe.

Ling!

♫ Grandly descending into the mortal world ♫

Now, I grasp the true essence of Jun Tian Swordsmanship.

♫ Forging a sword with blood to pierce the dark night ♫

Sang Qi,

do you know where Jun Tian originates?

Jun Tian is a destructive force left behind at the dawn of creation.

It is a destructive force that tore apart the cosmos.

Without nearing the brink of death,

I couldn't have comprehended Jun Tian's ultimate swordsmanship.

You only see the destruction it brings,

but you can't see the vitality that follows its strike.

♫ Forging a sword with blood to pierce the dark night ♫

♫ Defying fate, rewriting destiny ♫

The strongest sword energy comes not from indifference...

but from emotion.
