The Blossoming Love Episode 22 Recap
> The Blossoming Love Recap
Mu Xuanling didn’t sleep and just lay there. Xie Xuechen asked her why she wasn’t sleeping and if she was worried about him. Mu Xuanling denied it, saying, “How could that be possible? ” Xie Xuechen told her that he would go and check on the Longevity Lotus again tomorrow and suggested she stay behind, fearing it might be dangerous. He added that if he were to die, the connection they shared through the “Thread of Fate” would automatically dissolve.
Mu Xuanling responded, “You should have just said that from the start. ”The next day, the two returned to where the Longevity Lotus grew and encountered Feng Xiang Zunzhe again. However, Feng Xiang did not seem to remember them and repeated the same words from the previous day. Xie Xuechen speculated that Feng Xiang might have no memory of past events. The two briefly spoke with Feng Xiang and told her they only wanted the lotus seeds.
Feng Xiang ordered them to leave immediately. Hiding behind a tree, they observed her in secret. When Mu Xuanling accidentally made a noise, Xie Xuechen quickly pulled her closer, afraid that Feng Xiang would hear them. But when they turned back to look, Feng Xiang had disappeared. Xie Xuechen reasoned that if she were still nearby, traces of spiritual energy would remain, but none could be found. They guessed that Feng Xiang had left and decided to search for her.
Eventually, they saw Feng Xiang lying on a large rock. The two speculated that if she had eaten the lotus seeds, the lotus heart must still be nearby. As they prepared to approach, a blue light began emanating from around Feng Xiang. From the light emerged Qian Guangjun. Startled, Mu Xuanling asked, “Is this a person or a ghost? ” Xie Xuechen immediately recognized Qian Guangjun. Qian Guangjun asked how Xie Xuechen had identified him.
Xie Xuechen explained that historical records described Qian Guangjun and Feng Xiang Zunzhe as cultivating their dharma forms together, referring to them as “Dao Companions. ” Xie Xuechen admitted that seeing Feng Xiang had raised his suspicions, but he hadn’t expected to truly meet Qian Guangjun. Qian Guangjun remarked that six thousand years had passed. “If not for your reminder,” he said, “I wouldn’t even know what year it is now.
” Xie Xuechen asked if Feng Xiang Zunzhe had eaten the Longevity Lotus and become trapped in a cycle. Qian Guangjun confirmed his guess. He explained that Feng Xiang would awaken here every sunrise and forget everything by sunset. Mu Xuanling commented, “So, she has lived for six thousand years, but to her, it has only been one day. ” Qian Guangjun replied, “This is the immortality that everyone desires, but achieving it comes at a great cost.
” He told them about someone who once pursued immortality through dark arts. Feng Xiang, however, didn’t gain immortality immediately after consuming the Longevity Lotus. Instead, she first entered a forbidden domain of magic. Qian Guangjun explained that a cultivator whose dharma form is sealed must endure 38,000 opposing gales and climb a treacherous path to its end. Only after countless hardships can they meet Lun Jing Shangshen (the High God of the Wheel Mirror).
Being from the Divine Clan, Qian Guangjun said the High God claimed to be waiting for someone, perhaps not even a person. Mu Xuanling questioned the existence of the Divine Clan, saying she had heard that they were suppressed beneath the molten abyss, from which the Dark Clan was born. She added that the Divine Clan, disgusted with humanity, abandoned their role as protectors, making their presence a mystery.
Qian Guangjun replied that he had met Lun Jing Shangshen, whose immense power could only belong to a member of the Divine Clan. Qian Guangjun and Feng Xiang were once fond of each other but never confessed their feelings, leading to regretful separation. After losing track of Feng Xiang, Qian Guangjun searched for her for a long time and finally found her here. But by then, she had already become what she is now.
To stay by her side, Qian Guangjun also consumed the Longevity Lotus, reaching Lun Jing Shangshen. There, he expressed his wish to accompany Feng Xiang every day. As a result, Qian Guangjun became Feng Xiang’s shadow, able to appear only at night. Xie Xuechen asked Qian Guangjun for a lotus seed, explaining that he wanted to save someone who suffered constant pain from consuming Wu Xin water. Qian Guangjun gave him a lotus seed, and Mu Xuanling consumed it.
Upon doing so, she recovered all her memories of being with Xie Xuechen. The two embraced, crying with joy. At that moment, Nan Xuyue arrived, but Mu Xuanling clearly began avoiding him.
