Love of the Divine Tree Episode 1 Recap
> Love of the Divine Tree Recap
In the ancient times, the Mortal Demon Lord’s spiritual power could not be extinguished, so it had to be sealed away. Later, the Spiritual Spring gathered the evil thoughts of heaven and earth, possessing the power to destroy the world. Mu Qingge from the Wester Sect stole the Spiritual Spring, bringing chaos to the mortal realm. The four major sects joined forces to eliminate it, but they were no match for her.
Mu Qingge resisted fiercely, but in the end, she was killed by her disciple, Su Yishui. Before her death, she carved an ugly mark on Su Yishui’s face, cursing him to live a life where he could never face the world. Eighteen years later, Mu Qingge was reincarnated as Xue Ranran, living in Xue Family Village near Jue Mountain. She had a bracelet named "Ling Xiao" since childhood.
Xue Ranran ran a restaurant, and every time the storyteller spoke of Su Yishui’s tale, she couldn’t help but retort. Day after day, Xue Ranran noticed that Ling Xiao’s power was weakening, and she always sought a way to restore its spiritual power. Wei Jiu, the leader of the Scarlet Sect, had a compass made from the bones of the Heavenly Dragon, which could break through all barriers.
Elder Da Wu suggested that they should extract Mu Qingge's remaining spiritual energy from the mortal realm as soon as possible. Wei Jiu found the large tree where Mu Qingge had turned, and discovered that a fruit had fallen, turning into a person. It was unclear whether it was Mu Qingge or her sister. At the Western Sect, in his secluded cave, Su Yishui had been cultivating for eighteen years.
One day, he suddenly sensed something was happening at Jue Mountain, feeling something unusual. He decided to seal off his five senses and give up on his cultivation. In order to find the reincarnated Mu Qingge, Wei Jiu ordered his subordinate Tu Jiuyuan to capture everyone born in the year of Qing Geng in Xue Family Village. Xue Ranran's friend, Xiao Cui, was also taken.
Hearing villagers shout about demons causing harm, Xue Ranran took out a talisman given by Prince Su Yu and followed the path where Xiao Cui was taken. When they arrived at Jue Mountain and the Scarlet Sect, Wei Jiu discovered that Mu Qingge was not among the captured villagers. He threatened them with turning them into ashes if they didn’t speak the truth.
The village head, scared, revealed that a mysterious woman had arrived in the village in the year of Qing Geng. Xue Ranran, hiding nearby, heard the village head mention her name and decided to leave to seek help from Su Yu’s immortal master to save the villagers. However, her clothes brushed against the grass, making a noise that caught Wei Jiu’s attention. Xue Ranran quickly used the talisman and left Jue Mountain.
Wei Jiu ordered Elder Da Wu to track her, but Su Yishui arrived in time to save Xue Ranran. Elder Da Wu saw Su Yishui’s face, and Su Yishui immediately silenced him. As Xue Ranran was about to leave, Su Yishui realized that her body was already filled with demonic energy and helped her expel it. He also discovered that Xue Ranran's spiritual core had been completely shattered. After Xue Ranran fell unconscious, Su Yishui took her to his dwelling.
He guessed that she hadn’t received enough nourishment from the Immortal Tree, which caused her premature aging. To help her restore her spiritual energy, he decided to have Xue Ranran formally become his disciple, using their master-disciple bond to perform a spell. When Xue Ranran woke up, she overheard a conversation between Su Yishui and his subordinates, scaring her into attempting to escape.
However, Su Yishui caught her and forcibly made her drip blood onto a jade plate as a sign of taking him as her master. Xue Ranran resisted strongly, using the jade plate to push him away. Su Yishui immediately moved to the courtyard, and he guessed that the jade plate was a sacred artifact of the Western Sect, most likely retaining Mu Qingge’s spiritual energy.
To save the villagers, Xue Ranran reluctantly agreed to take Su Yishui as her master and pressed her soul seal onto the jade plate. Just as Wei Jiu and his men arrived nearby, they were suddenly blocked by a burst of talismans. It turned out they had accidentally entered Su Yu’s domain. The immortal master Lao Feng immediately informed the four major sects, and Wei Jiu had no choice but to flee in defeat.
While searching for Ling Xiao, Xue Ranran found that Su Yishui had saved her once more and infused Ling Xiao with immortal energy. She decided to temporarily take him as her master. The two went to the Western Sect, where Xue Ranran met three others: Bai Baishan, Gao Cang, and Qiu Xier, all of whom were also planning to take Su Yishui as their master. During the ceremony to become disciples, dark clouds suddenly gathered, and thunder roared.
Su Yishui realized that this strange phenomenon was due to their unconventional actions, but he used his powers to reverse the situation, turning darkness into light.
