[Love of the Divine Tree]

[Episode 7]

Disciples of Mount Wester

must never become demons.

Master!

You can't be without the Spirit Spring.

Since she doesn't believe you can do it,

prove it to her.

Run.

Run first, talk later.

Qingge,

will you really

help my father ascend to the throne?

Yes.

That's wonderful!

No wonder Ranwu urged me to come to Mount Wester quickly.

It turns out there'ssuch a great opportunity.

With your help,

how can we fail in our grand endeavor?

However,

why have you suddenly changed your mind?

Perhaps it's the will of heaven.

Did you see that?

Your Master and that kid Su Yu

get along very well.

So it's all for Su Yu.

Everything is for Su Yu.

I'll go back and tell my father right away.

Qingge,

Su Yishui is your disciple.

Why have you

never considered supporting him?

It's impossible.

Even if anyone else in the universe can,

he cannot.

So that's how you see him in your heart.

But we must not let Su Yishui know this.

He's been too heavily influenced by Prince Ping.

I'm afraid his desires are too strong.

He might hurt you.

Qingge, be careful!

Wu,

take Yu and go!

Qingge...

Go!

No wonder Master refuses to trust me.

It turns out removing the Spirit Spring was a lie,

and helping your Yu was the truth.

I do want to help him,

but there's another reason

for doing this.

What reason?

Fine.

Since you want to help Su Yu,

I'll definitely keep this drop of Spirit Spring.

The more he wants something,

the more I'll hold onto it.

The throne and the universe

are all mine,

no matter the cost

and whether I become good or evil!

As long as I'm here,

you'll never reach that point.

If I can't even manage my disciple's matter,

then I've been a failure as a master.

I've specially prepared an ice chain

and used a drop of my blood to form a prison.

You stay here obediently and wait.

[Jade Peak, Sky Mountain]

Big white cat, big white cat,

today, I must take away

this whole pool of twelve-petaled Ice Lotuses.

I'm sorry.

Without the pool of Ice Lotuses,

the immortal will punish you if they find out.

So you want to come with me now?

Alright.

I'll take you then.

Come back with me to save people.

To deal with me,

you actually broke into an immortal's mansion,

Jade Peak on Sky Mountain.

The Ice Lotus is the world's

purest and most pristine treasure.

It can repair the heart's spiritual power

and vanquish all evil in the universe.

Even if you use up all the Ice Lotus, it's useless.

It's already deeply hidden in my heart,

impossible to remove.

Shui,

stop being so stubborn.

Mu Qingge,

I've asked you several times before

about why you insisted on taking me as your disciple.

And every time you answered

that you just wanted one more disciple.

It was all lies.

You only did it for Su Yu.

I know Su Yu can be extreme at times

and the conflict between you two runs deep.

But I'm not doing this

to help Su Yu,

I want to help you.

Help me?

At this point,

why do you still need to make excuses?

You trained hard for years

to repay a single meal's kindness.

Who was it for?

You defied the Heavenly Sect's order

and interfered in the royal struggle.

Who was that for?

Yet I can't even

beg for a little time.

Everything you've done,

every single thing,

was all just to

pave the way for him to seize the universe, right?

If Prince Zong gains control of the universe,

he will be a wise ruler of his generation.

Why can't I do it?

Because of that drop of Spirit Spring inside you.

It was left by the source of all evil,

the Mortal-Demon Lord.

As long as you have it for even one day,

you can't rule.

Very well.

We're back to talking about the Spirit Spring.

Then tell me.

Do you have some divine foresight

that can see the future?

I have the rare Five Spirit Roots.

Why don't you believe

that I can suppress the Spirit Spring in the future?

Why won't you give me

even half a chance?

You said before that you had your reasons.

What exactly are those reasons

that make you willing

to be so cruel to me?

Mu Qingge, tell me!

I've said all that needs to be said.

I just want to protect this world

and protect you too.

As expected.

Not even half a word

that you utter can be trusted.

Shui,

the Spirit Spring amplifies

all emotions in your heart.

You have too much hatred in your heart.

Don't let it influence you.

Yes, I have too much hatred.

Are you looking for a weakness or flirting–

♫Who is that alone under the tree?♫

♫Stained with a light and clear glow♫

♫Repeatedly awakened from dreams by the shattered shadow of the moon♫

♫Outside the mountain, longing reflected in the limpid eyes♫

What are you looking at?

Let's go.

♫With a gentle nudge of the night breeze, the lantern is empty♫

I have bad luck.

♫Time passed can never be brought back♫

No matter what I feel in my heart,

it all turns into hatred in the end.

♫On sleepless nights, I toast to the world and drown my sorrows♫

♫My lovesickness comprises only of you♫

So be it.

Since everyone has betrayed me,

♫If the long night is too dark, I'll keep you company all the way♫

why should I care about others?

Destiny has chosen me to be Demon's child,

♫To face all the love and hatred, the rights and wrongs♫

so becoming a demon is my path!

♫Our tortuous fate alternating endlessly between partings and reunions, joy and sorrow♫

Su Yishui.

If you willingly open your heart

and merge with the Spirit Spring,

there will be no turning back.

Spirit Spring,

♫Only after experiencing death and rebirth do you realize its preciousness♫

lend me your power!

♫A destiny full of twists and turns, a love fraught with hardship♫

♫But I remain fearless with no regrets♫

Move aside!

♫Waiting for the fallen flowers to dance and silhouettes to pair up♫

♫Eventually nestling in each other's arms again♫

Unless the Spirit Spring is removed,

I will never let you go.

What if you can't do it?

Would you k*ll me?

Shui,

♫With a gentle nudge of the night breeze, the lantern is empty♫

I don't want our master-disciple relationship

to end up like this.

♫Time passed can never be brought back♫

Mu Qingge,

you said if I k*lled you,

I could leave Mount Wester.

♫On sleepless nights, I toast to the world and drown my sorrows♫

That sword strike just now

could have k*lled you

and ended our master-disciple relationship.

♫My lovesickness comprises only of you♫

As you wish.

Once all this turmoil is over,

♫If the long night is too dark, I'll keep you company all the way♫

I will announce to the universe

that Su Yishui

is no longer part of the Wester Sect.

♫But I'm still fearless and without regrets♫

♫Waiting for the fallen flowers to dance and silhouettes to pair up♫

Good.

Very good!

♫Eventually nestling in each other's arms again♫

Master.

It seems the Ice Lotus can only suppress

and not remove the Spirit Spring.

Master, what do you plan to do?

At this point,

we can't wait any longer.

Su Yishui once wanted to steal

the Demon Heart Primordial Absorption Technique

collected by the Eternal Sect.

It must contain a method

to deal with the Spirit Spring.

I'll go to the Eternal Sect now.

Keep an eye on him for me.

Yes.

[Eternal Sect]

Young Master,

I've come to rescue you.

My father couldn't bear to part with me,

his chess piece?

You've said before

that you are not a mere chess piece.

You are the true chess player.

From today onwards,

you are my true master.

The time has come.

You only need to let your guard down

and I can make that drop of Spirit Spring

become one with your body.

From then on,

these little Ice Lotuses

will no longer be able to trap you.

Only by possessing supreme power

can you truly be able to

let down the people of the universe,

while the people

dare not let you down.

[Falling Water Shore, Netherworld]

The Marrow-Cleansing Pool is about to open.

After entering the Marrow-Cleansing Pool, it'll be effortless

to obtain the Spirit Spring.

Mu Qingge,

you previously invaded the Eternal Sect

and abducted Su Yishui.

Today,

you've come again to steal our demonic magic texts.

You truly don't take

the Eternal Sect seriously.

Old Kaiyuan,

don't work so hard.

The demonic magic text is just sitting there anyway.

Why don't you let me take a look? What's the big deal?

Get into formation!

[Marrow-Cleansing Pool, Heavenly Meridian Mountain]

Nascent Soul.

Not just that.

Young Master.

I'm only a hair's breadth away from the Transcendence Realm.

Young Master, you truly are a prodigy.

There's something I need to inform you about.

Just yesterday,

His Majesty passed away.

Prince Zong

is now in the heat of battle with Prince Ping.

Everything is perfect.

Let's go.

We'll go to the Eternal Sect to take the Demon Heart Primordial Absorption Technique.

Wait.

Mu Qingge has already gone to the Eternal Sect.

I'm afraid The Demon Heart Primordial Absorption Technique

might already be

in her possession.

However, with your cultivation level,

there's no need for such drastic measures.

I only need to offer two parts of my divine essence

to counter the effects of the Demon Heart Primordial Absorption Technique.

Young Master, you just need to

turn this key into a bridge.

This way,

you can summon the Spirit Spring

and become one with it.

Who are you really?

I am, of course, someone who has your best interests at heart.

Summon the Spirit Spring,

merge it into your body,

and you'll be able to reign over the universe.

Then who I am

will no longer be important.

Sovereign Immortal,

there's a problem. The Demon Detector—

The Spirit Spring?

The Spirit Spring has manifested!

Su Yishui,

you've fallen to the dark side after all.

The reappearance of

the Spirit Spring is the Heavenly Sect's top priority.

Mu Qingge,

regarding today's events,

the Eternal Sect

will settle accounts with you another day.

Disciples of the Eternal Sect, heed my command!

Quickly follow me

to eliminate the Demon's child!

Yes!

Old Kaiyuan,

where are you going to eliminate me?

Isn't the Demon's child right in front of you?

What?

You are the Demon's child?

That's right.

I've been working on summoning

the Spirit Spring

and now, I've finally succeeded.

After I take the demonic magic text,

I'll come to rule over the universe.

I thought

you were just unrestrained in your actions.

I never expected

that you would be the Demon's child.

The Immortal Realm has long decreed

that the Spirit Spring Demon's child

is an evil that will destroy the world.

Even if we die,

we must k*ll you.

Master Mu,

I've offended you many times before.

I never thought

that we're on the same side.

As long as you're willing to share the Spirit Spring,

the Scarlet Sect will fully support you.

You want to help, right?

Then stay here and help.

Mu Qingge!

This Mu Qingge

actually colluded with the Scarlet Sect.

She truly is the Demon's child.

Let's capture this demonic cultivator first!

What's that?

The d-demonic army is here!

Run!

The b*ttlefield spans a hundred miles.

It's overrun with rampaging beasts from the netherworld.

They're endless!

Did Mu Qingge summon them?

She herself admitted to be the Demon's child.

She called the Spirit Spring into this world.

If these demonic beasts weren't summoned by her,

then who could it be?

If this continues,

the universe will fall into chaos.

The Heavenly Sect

must eliminate the Demon's child, Mu Qingge, as soon as possible.

Master,

why did you take on the title of Demon's child

in place of Su Yishui?

If people knew he was the Demon's child,

they would surely want to use him.

The Spirit Spring would appear

in this world again and again.

Only by erasing his identity

can we make people

give up on this idea.

Besides,

he's my own disciple.

I'll handle this.

This is so unfair to you, Master.

No,

I must tell the truth to everyone.

I've cast the Silencing Curse on you.

You can never speak of the truth

about the Spirit Spring and the Demon's child again in this lifetime.

Leave what happens next

to me.

Master!

Yishui.

You've come at the perfect time.

I will tell you soon

the location of Prince Zong's remaining forces.

On behalf of your father,

wipe them out completely.

Father.

I told you

that after I obtained the Spirit Spring,

I would let you witness my reign over the universe.

Now, I am the Guardian of this universe.

Your Highness.

Go back and rest.

Congratulations, Guardian.

In just three days,

we've already conquered most of the land.

Seizing control of the universe

is within reach.

Mu Qingge.

You are no match

for me now.

I never thought

you would actually summon the demon army.

What's the matter?

Is Su Yu desperate after his defeat?

Did he send you to k*ll me?

How presumptuous.

I'm here to end all of this.

What is this?

Direct your power to the acupoints Bing Fen,

Xia Bai,

and Yao Yu.

Do it.

Now.

Your power has solidified.

You've passed the final test.

When it's time,

you can form your Golden Core.

Every strand of sword energy you used

to help me form my Golden Core

was actually meant to counter me.

The Demon Heart Primordial Absorption Technique.

I see now.

From the moment you forcibly took me as your disciple at the Eternal Sect,

you had everything planned out.

Not only did you want to help Su Yu seize the universe,

but you've also long been planning to help him take the Spirit Spring.

Say what you will.

I've already taken the Spirit Spring.

Su Yishui,

our master-disciple relationship

ends here.

Take care of yourself from now on.

Mu Qingge,

I will use my whole life to seek revenge.

Su Yu, Prince Ping,

and everyone who plotted against me must die.

All of this was my idea.

Taking your Spirit Spring

and seizing your universe

was all my plan.

It has nothing to do with anyone else.

If hatred serves a purpose...

Su Yishui,

then hate me.

♫Fallen leaves swirling and covering the empty garden♫

♫Clouds and dust rolling in the distant sky♫

You were the one who told me

that there were other paths to choose in this world.

In this world,

♫Generations of dreams fold into one♫

there are interesting places

like this everywhere.

In the future, I will take you

♫Solitary branches hidden in clothing♫

to visit them one by one

and enjoy each location.

Protect this interesting mortal world.

♫Extend fate to call you back; How lucky to meet by chance♫

You said I couldn't see clearly

♫I've shed thousands of tears, but my feelings haven't run dry♫

and wanted to give me a hand.

♫Hatred adds grayness to my hair♫

But in fact, the one who drove me into this desperate situation

was you!

♫Which side does destiny choose?♫

♫Demon or immortal?♫

♫With you by my side, I'm fearless in the face of life's hardships♫

♫If love wants me to die♫

♫I won't give up because of you♫

♫Thousands of steps to cross the sky-high chasm♫

♫Reincarnation and fate can't be denied♫

♫Why does the world have everything but love?♫

You're all the same!

♫Falling forever is like becoming immortal♫

It's just that the person

and excuse changed.

All of you betray me!

♫I insist to be with you day after day♫

Mu Qingge,

I will definitely k*ll you!

♫The world bears witness as obsession finally finds its bond♫

Is it not enough?

Is all this not enough?

I...

♫We'll be together again when the flowers bloom♫

♫The moment between us is worth 10,000 years♫

This is the most I can do to help you.

Mu Qingge!

The Spirit Spring is indeed powerful.

I've only experienced it for a moment,

yet I'm already irritable and losing control.

I need to eliminate those demon beasts quickly

and seal the Spirit Spring.

Otherwise,

I won't be able to hold on for long either.

Tell me,

how long has it been since Madam Battle arrived?

How did she manage to

defeat Prince Ping's army so thoroughly?

Haven't you heard?

When Madam Battle fights,

she commands

an army of demons from the netherworld.

She seems to be a demon herself.

Who knows?

She might end up

turning us all into monsters.

This... this...

Greetings, lord.

Madam Battle has been leading the charge,

winning victory after victory,

allowing us

to rest and recuperate in the rear.

Gentlemen,

what do you think?

Yes,

we all feel indebted to Madam Battle's kindness.

After days of continuous battles,

I've seen how hard

you've all worked.

When my father ascends the throne,

I will surely marry Madam Battle.

At that time, we will

reward everyone according to their merits.

Thank you, lord.

Thank you, Madam Battle.

Yu,

you've had a long day.

Have a cup of tea first.

Yu,

you...

You often come and go in the prince's mansion.

But there's something you might not know.

Around me,

there are always shadow guards.

Poisoning tea

is such a crude method.

The palace has long disdained to use it.

Yet you still try it on me.

It's truly laughable.

I didn't poison it.

Instead, it's...

It's an aphrodisiac.

Even more disgusting than poison.

Mu Ranwu,

the only reason I allow you by my side

is because of

your sister, Mu Qingge.

What you're doing now

is simply disgracing her.

What grace does she have?

Do I have to be overshadowed by her

and consider her reputation

no matter what I do?

Yu!

I...

I've been practicing too.

I've gained some magical powers as well.

I can protect you just the same.

Why can't you

pay more attention to me?

Compared to her,

you lack far more than just magical power.

You will never measure up to her.

This incident

could have been punishable by death.

But for Mu Qingge's sake,

I'll let you off this time.

Leave the military camp immediately

and never come back.

Su Yishui.

Su Yishui, don't go.

Help me save my sister.

My sister was used by Su Yu.

That's why she summoned the Spirit Spring

and the demons.

You're the only one who can save her now.

This is my sister's

formation derived from

the Demon Heart Primordial Absorption Technique.

It can extract the Spirit Spring.

Among the disciples of Mount Wester,

only you have the cultivation level

to activate this formation.

I found my sister's practice notes

at Mount Wester.

Why are you hiding here?

The Heavenly people

all want to steal this formation diagram

and take away the Spirit Spring.

But I know

that in the end,

they will all punish my sister.

But you won't,

right?

I've seen the way

you look at my sister.

You won't really harm her.

Alright.

I'll use this formation

to extract the Spirit Spring from her body.

Then,

I want her to stay by my side forever.

Why can't I seal the Spirit Spring?

Immortal?

How can there be an immortal in the netherworld?

Qingge!

Wu,

why did you deceive me?

Because I want the Spirit Spring.

No wonder.

I knew Wu

wouldn't have the ability

to set up my Immortal-Binding Formation

so flawlessly.

Immortal-Binding Formation?

Now that I've taken the Spirit Spring,

I won't give it to you.

Even calling the four Heavenly Sects for help

is useless.

The two of us alone

can't subdue my sister.

Wu,

how have I wronged you

that you would call the four Heavenly Sects

to take me down?

Qingge,

I'm doing this for your own good.

Demon's child Mu Qingge,

today, we shall

carry out heaven's will.

Look at the heavenly bell!

You're overdrawing your spiritual power with your lifespan.

Where's the Spirit Spring?

Where's the Spirit Spring on you?

Mu Qingge,

where is the Spirit Spring?

Why...

why is the Golden Core gone too?

No matter where the Spirit Spring is,

if we k*ll the Demon's child,

the Spirit Spring will have nowhere to attach.

k*lling the Demon's child

won't go wrong.

Activate the formation!

It's the Empyrean Bone Sacrifice Formation.

Su Yishui is still inside.

The might of heaven is awe-inspiring.

Empyrean Bone Sacrifice!

The Immortal Realm passed down this formation

so that when evil demons are born,

the Heavenly Sects would have the power

to contend with them.

Dear disciple,

I thought you invited me here

to reminisce about the past.

I never expected you to be so heartless

and conspire with outsiders to harm me.

You demon!

You forcibly took him as your disciple,

crippled him, forced him to practice demonic cultivation,

and treated him as your personal plaything.

Between you two,

there was never any true affection to speak of.

Stop!

I am the real demon.

The Silencing Curse...

She cast it on me

when she pushed me out of the formation earlier.

Trying to k*ll me with my blood?

Su Yishui.

Do you hate me this much?

Even in death,

I'll make Mount Wester perish with me.

The Wester Sect never forgives traitors.

Su Yishui,

you'll never be able to hold your head up high again!

Yishui...

Your face!

It's the Face-and-Heart Burning Curse.

Mu Qingge cast

the Face-and-Heart Burning Curse on you!

Mu Qingge,

you brought the Spirit Spring to the mortal world,

causing great calamity.

Your crime deserves death.

Today,

we will gather the power of the Heavenly Sects

to eliminate you, you scourge.

You were once my disciple after all.

So let me

repay your debts for you.

No!

Stop!

Quickly, stop the Empyrean Bone Sacrifice formation!

Qingge,

once this formation is activated,

it cannot be reversed.

Your cultivation

can't be retained anyway.

Why don't you give it to me?

Mu Qingge!

Qingge,

don't blame me!

How could this happen?

I don't want your spiritual power anymore!

Qingge!

Help me!

Save me!

Qingge!

♫Who knows the loneliness of mountains and seas?♫

♫The sharp wind cuts at my heart♫

♫Hold a drop of blood♫

The Demon's child has now been brought to justice.

♫Tattered flowers and tears♫

The Spirit Spring must have been

hidden somewhere by her.

♫Reincarnating but to no avail♫

Everyone,

follow me back to the mountain.

Quickly use the Demon Detector to search for it.

Yishui.

♫Devouting one's life despite knowing it can't be♫

Master.

Mu Qingge!

♫Coming to the abyss despite knowing retreat is possible♫

No!

♫Who says the world is full of wrongs?♫

♫I seize the Way and choose heaven♫

I will save you.

♫It won't be a waste of my life to burn until I wither♫

I will definitely save you!

Forget it.

Everything

went smoothly in my life,

♫There's no need to discuss right or wrong♫

except for taking you as my disciple.

It's too late for regrets now.

♫I can sacrifice my life♫

Practice diligently

and complete the task I entrusted to you.

♫All rules can be dismantled♫

Then you and I,

let's never meet again

♫Die in this world♫

for eternity.

♫The masses spread rumors that are hard to swallow♫

Sacrifice blood

and take the soul!

♫I haven't said anything yet, my heart is clear♫

♫I still don't regret it; I'll pay for it all my life♫

♫You know my heart, won't go against my wishes♫

♫Don't speak of redressing injustices♫

♫Don't let others pity me♫

♫Try your best to forget me♫

♫I'll go through hardships and never break down♫

♫I vow to fight against darkness♫

♫Love punishes me a thousand times, yet a merciful heart pardons me♫

♫No pain, no resentment♫

♫Devoting one's life despite knowing it can't be♫

♫Coming to the abyss despite knowing retreat is possible♫

♫Who says the world is full of wrongs?♫

Why?

♫I seize the Way and choose heaven♫

Why do you always make decisions on your own?

♫It won't be a waste of my life to burn until I wither♫

You don't trust me,

so why did you take the blame for me?

Just because you're my Master,

you think you can say nothing

and die in my place?
