[Love of the Divine Tree]

[Episode 3]

[An unmanned graveyard]
[22 years ago]

I have no patience.

If you don't want to

settle down in this grave,

give me the Heart-luring Poison.

Array!

Who are you?

How could you manipulate the Evil Fire?

Where is the Heart-luring Poison I want?

Us Heavenly Puppet Sect

are a famous sect.

We are not to be messed with.

You won't tell me?

I shall k*ll some demonic cultivators.

Consider it as getting rid of the evil for the people.

I'll say it.

I'll say it!

Guardian.

Prince Zong's persuasion to surrender

greatly pleased

the General of Wuyi.

Prince Zong's son Su Yu

[Su Xiaoxiao, the illegitimate daughter of Prince Ping]

will take the surrendered generals to the capital.

Father asked me to deliver a message.

Brother, you must bring honor

for Prince Ping.

Don't worry.

This Heart-luring Poison

can control one's heart

in half an hour.

It's a big show.

I’m ready.

I, Su Yu,

greet Your Majesty.

Good.

This time,

you managed to

enlist the enemy general

[Prince Ping]

with your father.

It's a great merit.

Your Majesty is benevolent

and the people are loyal to you.

I dare not take credit.

Your Majesty.

General Li and his deputy general

are waiting outside the camp.

Send him in!

General Li is here!

I, Li Hu, who have sinned,

greet your majesty.

I'm willing to present the frontier defense map

to Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Leave him alive.

Your Majesty, are you alright?

I'm fine.

I was negligent.

I didn't know that this surrender was a fraud.

Please punish me, Your Majesty.

Prince Ping.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Thanks to your son,

can I be

safe right now.

Your Majesty is blessed

by the Dragon and Heaven,

Reward him!

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I was waiting for the legitimate son to be rewarded.

Who knew this would happen?

Exactly.

He's just an illegitimate son.

How dare he

ask for rewards right in front

of His Majesty?

You don't know yet, do you?

This guy from Prince Ping's residence

comes from quite the background.

His mother

was the most popular escort

in the capital.

But,

since Prince Ping already has a son,

why did he bring this filthy son

back?

I don't know.

No idea.

Because...

Prince Ping has read his fortune.

He said that this filthy son

is good for him.

After all,

his mother had slept with many people.

Many people are thankful towards her.

It's also a powerful force.

Right?

Qingge.

Wait.

Get up.

You're quite beautiful.

But one move of yours could take his life.

That's cruel.

You can't do that.

Brother.

Are you okay?

Marquis, you owe me your life.

Pay me back with money.



of gold.

The girl in red

is Mu Qingge.

It’s said

she's only 25 years old,

but she's already an amazing

immortal master.

However,

she disobeyed

the rules of the Four Mystery Sect

and betrayed them,

living recklessly.

All of the Heavenly Sects have regarded her as evil.

Somehow,

she got involved with Su Yu.

I’m afraid it’s a trouble.

Go and get punished.

So what?

No one can stop me

from accomplishing a great cause.

[Imperial City, Prince Zong's residence]

Will the royal family

be implicated given what happened today??

His Majesty is wise.

His Majesty won't believe that

those enemies have something to do with my father and I.

By the way,

the people from Marquis Yong'an's residence

in the military camp right now

have always been dissatisfied with Prince Ping.

They were rude.

Don't take it to heart.

I don't care what your minions do.

I'm still worried about

my trip down the mountain this time

to take in apprentices.

Sister!

Sister!

Wu.

The legitimate son told me as soon as he came back

that you would come today too.

I asked my servants

to prepare many tea snacks for you.

Wu.

During this time,

you've been by Yu's side.

Did you cause him any trouble?

I've always treated Wu as my sister.

How could there be any trouble?

Let's go.

[Imperial City, Prince Ping's residence]

The Crown Prince has been dead for many years.

His Majesty

has yet to selected the Crown Prince

between me and Prince Zong.

Although what happened today

didn't help him gain power

on defending the southwest,

Prince Zong's

power in the court

is still formidable.

So,

we need to hurry up with our plan.

[Magician]

I've already figured out that

Young Master Su Yishui

has a rare

Yin body.

That can help His Majesty complete his great cause.

So, His Majesty took him back to his mansion.

Eight years have passed.

What was put

in his body earlier

has now

taken its initial form.

Soon,

you can combine

these two bodies into one.

Good.

I've been waiting for this day

for a long time.

[Young Su Yishui]

Father.

Your Highness.

Please take me in.

First,

you need to know

I don't need a son.

I need someone valuable.

If you can do it,

I can keep you here

and

give you a status.

I...

I will become

a valuable person.

This contains the ultimate power

in this world

called Spirit Spring.

As long as you have it,

it's easy to

control the world.

Unfortunately,

this is the only drop

I have by chance.

The Spirit Spring is now sealed in the netherworld.

Only the Demon's child

can summon it.

The yin body

is a natural Spirit Spring container.

And you

are the one in a million

candidate to be Demon's child.

After refining,

you can integrate into one

with this Spirit Spring.

I have put this Spirit Spring

into your heart

and sacrifice your body to the Spirit Spring.

And you

will eventually find the Spirit Spring

for His Majesty.

That talisman just now

can keep you alive in this barrier.

Only by k*lling

the demon beast inside

can get out.

Otherwise,

that demon beast

will keep attacking you.

All right.

Refine yourself in there.

Xiaoxiao.

Remember,

send him food every three days.

Keep an eye on this place.

[Young Su Xiaoxiao]

If anything happens,

tell Father.

Yes, Father.

Good girl.

[One year later]

Brother!

Brother, wake up!

Brother, wake up!

You're from a lowly family.

You don't deserve to study in the Imperial Academy with us.

Get lost!

Shoo!

Are you okay?

-Are you okay?
-Brother.

Why are they always doing this to us?

Has anyone ever

cared about us?

One day,

when we are useless to

to Prince Ping's residence,

we won't even be

in this situation anymore.

So...

we can only climb up the ladder

on our own.

When others are cruel to you,

only by becoming stronger

can you

become the final winner.

Today,

I can endure everything.

In the future,

I'll have everyone who's done us wrong

and looked down on us

pay the price.

I feel the Spirit Spring.

Young Master has

finally connected with the Spirit Spring.

However,

to retrieve the Spirit Spring

in the netherworld,

you must learn

the Demon Heart Primordial Absorption Technique quickly.

The Demon Heart Primordial Absorption Technique?

That's right.

This technique

can absorb the power of others

and the spiritual power of everything.

You need to learn this skill

to finally summon the Spirit Spring.

Unfortunately,

this technique

has been sealed off by the Eternal Sect.

That's no problem.

They're just a cultivation sect.

I'll send troops to annihilate them.

Father, you can't.

If we rob them,

we might alert them

and draw Prince Zong's attention.

Why don't you leave this to me?

I have a way to get it.

[Eternal Sect’s gate]

The Heavenly Sects don't involve themselves in worldly matters.

Especially when it involves the royal power.

I'm going to join the sect as a disciple

and take the chance to get the Demon Heart Primordial Absorption Technique.

I need to hide my real identity.

Why do you have to have to get this Demon Heart

Primordial Absorption Technique yourself?

It doesn't matter if I

do it myself.

What matters is

I want to join the Eternal Sect.

[Eternal Sect]

If I obey them and cultivate

the Demon Heart Primordial Absorption Technique

to integrate the Spirit Spring,

I will eventually be swallowed by the Spirit Spring.

If I master

the supreme technique of a Heavenly Sect,

my body will have the spiritual power

to fight the Spirit Spring.

Even if I practice demonic magic,

there's room for me to fight.

What I've always wanted is to

control the Spirit Spring myself.

Not to be a tool

to be manipulated by others.

All these years,

I finally have two trusted subordinates,

Yu Tong and Yu Chen.

They are no longer people

sent by Father to spy on me.

If you need anything,

just go to them.

Father.

You did well today.

I'm very satisfied.

Thank you, Father.

I've sent you to the Eternal Sect for days.

Have you found the Demon Heart Primordial Absorption Technique?

The Demon Heart Primordial Absorption Technique

is sealed in their library.

One can only get in with the soverign's

spiritual power.

I've just been promoted from an external disciple

to an internal one.

I haven't gotten the chance yet.

Hurry up.

Time is running out.

Yes.

Also,

I have another thing

you need to do.

What's going on?

Mu.

[Alcohol Immortal]

This is a sign of ascension.

Our divination told us that,

so we're here to celebrate with you.

Ascension?

Rumour has it that

the Demon's child that can control the netherworld's Spirit Spring

[Liang Wumeng]

is about to appear.

You have attained great cultivation.

You're only one step away

from becoming an immortal.

If we can k*ll the Demon's child to prove your loyalty,

I think

it must be a good opportunity for you

to ascend successfully.

Congratulations.

For what?

That you have such a situation at such a young age.

What's the use of being an immortal?

Everyone says cultivating to become an immortal

is to save the world.

But after becoming an immortal,

the immortals would pray that the four realms are but nothing

and that don't care about the world.

As a human,

I'm obsessed with the secular world.

I've gained so much in the mortal world.

If I get it from the heaven and the earth,

I return it to heaven and earth.

That's the way in my heart.

With your temper,

you just want to go against what ordinary people do.

No wonder those righteous sects

think of you as a demoness.

Whatever.

But

it seems that

I have to restrain myself.

I haven’t found a disciple for

my Five Spirit Roots.

If I ascend carelessly,

it’ll be troublesome.

Five Spirit Roots?

Over these thousands of years,

how many Five Spirit Roots are there

like you?

You want to take in a disciple??

Why don't you go and see

if the Jingwei bird has finished filling the sea.

One needs to have a dream.

Otherwise,

with only one Five Spirit Roots, which is me, in the world

it'd be so boring.

Fine.

In that case,

I'll give you this Yin Eye Stone

from netherworld.

If it meets the Spirit Spring or the Demon's child,

it will sense it.

Good stuff.

Thanks.

Just in case you ascend

before you can get a disciple.

But

if the Demon's child appears,

the world

will be in chaos.

By then,

will you

care or not?

I live by the day.

Let's talk about it

when it happens.

Mu.

We gave you something good.

You're not going to treat us

to few jars of Mistaken Divine before you leave?

I've someone to meet.

I'll buy you a drink next time.

Hey!

You've changed!

Second Young Master is missing?

Yes.

A few days ago, on his way to the Imperial Academy,

he was ambushed.

All the guards were k*lled

and he was abducted.

Did you find out who did it?

It must be Prince Ping's men.

Prince Ping has always been afraid of

Second Brother's uncle's

military power in the Northern General's hands.

A few years ago,

my second brother's mother passed away.

If it weren't for

my brother's bloodline,

the Northern General wouldn't

support my father

like he is right now.

Even the children can't escape

the royal power struggle.

Qingge.

I’ve sent people to search everywhere.

But there hasn't been

any news for days.

I'm worried

for his safety.

You want me to help you?

Qingge.

I know those of the Heavenly Sects

can't interfere with royal affairs.

But...

But I really can't

ignore my brother's life.

You once said you would repay me.

I shouldn't threaten you.

But this time,

can I use this favor

in exchange?

Please save my second brother.

When my sister

and I were escaping from the famine when we were young,

you once helped us by giving us food.

Are you really going to use this favor

to save your brother?

He is my brother.

Nothing is more important

than his safety.

Okay.

I promise you.

I will return your brother

to you safely.

He was kidnapped here.

A hidden talisman?

That's a Eternal Sect technique.

They didn’t k*ll him on the spot

but abducted him.

That means he should be fine now.

Young Master,

it's fate that

we meet here by fate.

Have a drink on me.

I am Mu Qingge

from Wester Sect.

Don’t turn me down.

You're pretty handsome.

Quite up my alley.

Would you like to come back to Mount Wester with me?

You have a good foundation.

Unfortunately, you didn't cultivate well

and practiced martial arts

just to rob and kidnap people.

The Second Young Master of the Prince Zong's residence

is with you, right?

Give him to me.

What Second Young Master?

I don't understand what you're talking about.

Su Yishui.

Although your disguise technique

is done well,

since the last time

I saw you,

I have engrave

your beautiful eyes

deeply on my mind.

You got the wrong person.

My name is Su Cheng.

I'm not the person you’re looking for.

Su Cheng?

Very well.

Let me

unveil your true face.

You demoness.

Let go of me!

Why panic?

Am I that scary?

If you don't

hand him over today,

you can never escape me.

Impressive.

Even I can't break

your disguise technique.

Demoness...

To escape, he'd rather injure himself.

He was born with the Five Spirit Roots?

Just like me.

What a coincidence.

He learns pretty fast.

You came here yourself.

This is not my fault.

Where is the sedan chair?

Go find it.

What a handsome bride.

You want to run away after getting on the bridal sedan?

Tell me.

Where is he?

Guess.

You still want to make a bet with me?

Over there!

The sedan chair is over there!

Hurry!

That's right.

Let's bet

if you can get this right.

The number of people coming,

is it an odd or even number?

I'll tell you if you're right.

I've never lost a bet.

I'm guessing it's

even.

You lost.

Wrong.

It's a single number.

Run! Run!

Demonic energy?

The Yin Eye Stone is lit.

He's the Demon's child?

[Mount Cuiwei]

Go!

Why did you stop?

How about

I help you?

Qingge asked us

to check someone’s information for her.

I quit

this game.

Trying to play dirty again?

Save this game for now.

We'll play again next time.

I finally beat you once.

How could you do this?

In that case,

Su Yishui doing things for

Prince Ping can be quite hostile,

it's not that he's

a villain.

After all, Demon's child

is just a form of nature.

He has yet to bring disaster to the world.

How can I

judge him based on

what could happen in the future?

I have an idea.

If I take him as my disciple

and destroy his Demon's child nature,

there's nothing to worry about.

But if he really

become a demon,

I don't have to show mercy.

I can only k*ll the demon.

Everything

will be determined by his heart.

You just won't leave me alone.

Kid.

You were so harsh just now.

Looks like Master Kaiyuan

didn't teach you well.

Let me teach you then.

I'm now in the Transcendence Realm.

You have a good foundation,

but you've just reached the Foundation Building.

You can't escape.

I've k*lled him.

It's useless for you to follow me.

If you really wanted to k*ll him,

why kidnap him first before k*lling?

That's unnecessary.

Looks like I was right.

It doesn't matter.

I will find him.

I have a new idea.

I haven't received

a disciple as talented as you are.

Recently,

I've received a few

good martial arts books.

I need

a talented disciple to practice together.

I think

you are suitable.

I don't think so.

We'll know if it's suitable

after we try it.

How about this?

What do you like?

No matter it's gold, silver, jade,

or rare beasts,

I'll get them for you.

From now on, just follow me

and be my disciple.

I like you being away from me.

This is a bit difficult.

I think

you look better

with your original face.

One more bet.

If I can find out

the flaw of your disguise technique,

call me Master.

-In your dreams.
-That's settled then.

Su Cheng!

Su Cheng!

We were just going to the Eternal Sect for a lesson.

But we saw you as we came down the mountain.

Why are you

near our Hollow Sect?

I've been chased by

a demoness all the way here.

Mu Qingge?

You know me?

You look for pretty boys all over the world

and is frivolous.

You're infamous!

Now you're clinging to the powerful

and interfering with the worldly matters,

you're despised by all Heavenly Sects.

You pestering Su Cheng...

Stay away from him!

Since you already said

I like pretty boys,

how could I let go

one that is as beautiful as he is?

I'll take you as my disciple.

This demoness is trying to bring me to Mount Wester against my will.

I would rather die than obey,

but I can't get rid of her.

Shameless!

Set up the formation!

Calm down.

We are all girls.

It's ugly for us to fight.

Cut the crap.

[Eternal Sect]

I finally got rid of that demoness.

Su Cheng.

You just got promoted to an internal disciple,

yet you only return after a month.

If you're so relaxed,

how can you cultivate?

Senior, you should worry about

your own cultivation.

-You…
-Su Cheng!

Why did you leave

without telling me?

That demoness

has been driven away by us.

Thank you.

I owe you a favor.

I'll pay you back another day.

You said that.

Senior,

haven't you been preparing a gift

for Su Cheng for a

long time?

Give it to him.

Su Cheng,

I made this sword tassel myself.

I hope you don't mind it.

So Yan Liangyu

is interested in Wen Hongshan.

He is the direct disciple

of Master Kaiyuan.

He can be used by me.

Thank you, Wen.

He took it.

He took it.

What's wrong?

That demoness hurt you?

If it's just a small injury,

you're being too delicate.

You're not worthy of being a member of the Heavenly Sects.

You're right.

But whether I'm

worthy or not

is none of your business.

Even if I'm not a disciple of the Heavenly Sects,

Wen's heart is with me.

It’s useless for you to even think about it.

Su Cheng!

Yan Liangyu!

Su Cheng is injured.

Yan Liangyu.

As the direct disciple of the soverign,

that's all you're capable of?

That can't hurt me at all.

What a loser.

Su Cheng!

Su Cheng!

Su Cheng.

Yan Liangyu, are you crazy?

Slowly.

Be careful.

He's just stronger than me.

It’s not his fault.

Su Cheng.

Su Cheng!

Yan Liangyu.

Why do you always have a

bone to pick with Su Cheng?

I...

He's shrouded in evil aura.

Wen,

you'd better stay away from him

before he corrects himself.

I know what to do.

It's none of your business.

Senior.

They flirt with each other,

and are basically a couple.

You stand no chance.

That's right.

You two want to get beaten up

too?

I finally forced Yan Liangyu

to use Master Kaiyuan's technique.

Now I can extract Master Kaiyuan's

direct spiritual power

to open the library.

Obtain the Demon Heart Primordial Absorption Technique quickly.

I have no patience left.

You failed to k*ll

Prince Zong's second son last time.

I won't give you

another chance.

If you fail this time,

you should know the consequences.

[Eternal Sect]

Eternal Sect's library]

You're stealing something?

Why are you here?

The Eternal Sect's barrier

is pretty difficult to break.

But it's worth it if I can

take you as my disciple.

I said no way.

That's why we're making a bet.

You have a lot of secrets.

You must be afraid of being found out.

If you don't agree,

I'll call someone over.

Do you want to bet?

Fine.

That's right.

I'll start looking for the breakthrough.

Nose, chin, and neck.

How pretty.

Broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

How beautiful.

Are you looking for a weakness

or flirt–

I found it.

How did you find it?

You're determined.

So you can breathe slowly

and your heartbeat is stable.

But this is where the weakness is at.

No one with

earlobes closer to each other

can have more stable

breath and heartbeat.

It's obvious you're suppressing it.

Naturally, it's the weakness.

You have such a good face,

why hide it?

Let's go.

Go to Mount Wester with me.

Trying to cheat?

I'll have to knock you out

and drag you back.

Do you still want to find

Prince Zong's son?

This is where he is.

If you're late, he will be dead.

At such a young age,

you're pretty good at

having people under your control.

But after I save him,

I will still come back to you.

You can't escape.

Where did you learn that?

You're so cruel,

wanting to k*ll so easily.

You ruined my plan.

A tree can't become a material if not trimmed.

If I don't teach you a lesson,

you'll only become worse.

Hey!

Oh no.

Something's going on in the library!

Take him down!
