Love of the Divine Tree Episode 20 Recap
> Love of the Divine Tree Recap
Meng Zhang left behind a piece of dragon scale that could help others glimpse the future. Su Yu saw himself lying alone on a sickbed. Gao Cang and Qiu Xier saw the two of them becoming a married couple. Su Yishui saw himself extracting Mu Qingge's Golden Core. But only Xue Ranran did not wish to foresee the future.
Su Yu wanted to take Xue Ranran back to the capital, but Xue Ranran expressed that her spiritual state was unstable, and she couldn’t leave Mount Wester. Su Yu, worried that Xue Ranran might develop feelings for Su Yishui over time, then proposed opening a restaurant in the capital. Su Yishui overheard their conversation and remembered how he would personally extract Mu Qingge’s Golden Core in the future. He couldn’t bring himself to intervene.
In the courtyard, Gao Cang discovered Qiu Xier lying weakly on the ground and shouted for help. Su Yishui rushed over and found that the courtyard was set with the Nine-Layer Bone Sacrifice Formation. It turned out that Wei Jiu and Mu Ranwu were not far away, working together to cast a spell. Xue Ranran and Gao Cang couldn’t hold on, and even Su Yu was sucked away by the Black Dragon Jade Crystal.
Su Yishui’s hatred grew stronger, and the spiritual spring within him was awakened. It broke through and dispelled the Nine-Layer Bone Sacrifice Formation, but the demon power was exposed, causing the surrounding area to be enveloped by chilling winds and dark clouds. Xue Ranran and the others were too scared to make a sound. As Su Yishui’s resentment accumulated and his eyes began to show signs of cruelty, Xue Ranran stepped forward to wake him up.
Su Yu scolded Su Yishui for scaring everyone with his appearance after the formation was dispelled. Su Yishui decided to settle accounts with the formation's creator and suddenly appeared in front of Wei Jiu and Mu Ranwu. Wei Jiu, having just regained his strength, was afraid to fight Su Yishui and left Mu Ranwu behind, fleeing alone. Su Yishui manipulated the resentment water, causing Mu Ranwu to suffer excruciating pain.
He then threatened her with the revelation of their true identities. Su Yishui didn’t care if the world knew his demonic identity, but he didn’t want Xue Ranran to become the target of everyone’s hostility. He then informed Mu Ranwu that the resentment water could be dispelled if she swore a soul oath never to reveal her or Xue Ranran’s true identity, or else she would face divine retribution and her soul would be destroyed.
As Su Yu was about to leave Puxin Village, he once again asked Xue Ranran to return to the capital with him, but she refused. Her subordinates reported that the medicinal pills in the Foreigners’ Pavilion were nearly used up, and they were concerned that Su Yu’s internal toxins couldn’t be suppressed. Su Yu said they should first return to the capital and figure out what to do next.
Su Yishui appeared with Mu Ranwu and told Xue Ranran and Gao Cang to return to Mount Wester as soon as possible. Mu Ranwu expressed her intention to also go to Mount Wester. Xue Ranran, thinking Mu Ranwu was Mu Qingge, believed that Su Yishui had rekindled old feelings. After they left, Xue Ranran decided to investigate the person who had set the formation.
She recalled that Jiu Lao Xian was an expert in talisman techniques and sent a long-distance sound transmission to ask for help. Once back at Mount Wester, Su Yishui had Yu Chen arrange a place for Mu Ranwu to stay, deliberately ignoring Xue Ranran. Mu Ranwu stated that controlling herself was easy, but Su Yishui would likely find it difficult to control the spiritual spring.
Since it would take several more years to open the Gate of the Ghost Realm, she feared Su Yishui might lose control again and kill Xue Ranran. Mu Ranwu discovered that Xue Ranran was on the verge of foundation building, and at that point, her own spiritual power would begin to fade. Unable to act directly on Mount Wester, she attempted to provoke Xue Ranran into harboring delusions. As expected, Xue Ranran used her true energy.
When her mind became confused, Su Yishui arrived just in time to scold Mu Ranwu for her malicious intentions. Mu Ranwu argued that she was only helping Su Yishui eliminate his delusions. Su Yishui instructed Xue Ranran to close her five senses and let go of her distractions. The thunder tribulation had arrived, and Su Yishui ultimately lifted the thunderous sounds for her, deciding they would never meet again.
Once Xue Ranran completed her foundation building, her spiritual power increased, and she entered the Ghost Realm, hoping to find and return the owner of Ling Xiao. After some failed attempts, Xue Ranran decided to strengthen her spiritual power, and the quickest way to do so was to participate in the Washing Marrow Pool trial. Zeng Yi prepared to craft a weapon for Xue Ranran to celebrate her foundation building.
Xue Ranran mentioned that she had already prepared one using the spiritual tree, naming it "You Shu" (The Tree). Zeng Yi guessed that Su Yishui was avoiding Xue Ranran, but he was concerned about the time it would take for the spiritual spring’s seal to hold. Su Yishui began searching through ancient books to find a way to open the Ghost Realm. Once Xue Ranran completed her foundation building, she quickly created a pill and gave it to Qiu Xier.
After taking it, Qiu Xier felt its effects immediately. Bai Baishan brought a letter from Jiu Lao Xian, and it was revealed that the formation they encountered in Puxin Village was the Nine-Layer Bone Sacrifice Formation.
