Love of the Divine Tree Episode 22 Recap
> Love of the Divine Tree Recap
Xue Ranran arrived at Yao Lao Xian's door, inquiring about the events that had taken place inside the Hundred Treasures Cave. Yao Lao Xian explained that those who sought rapid advancement were often forced to bear corresponding risks. As a result, many were driven by greed and ended up killing each other.
Xue Ranran realized that Su Yishui had entrusted his soul to the Jin Geng White Tiger to protect himself, so she asked Yao Lao Xian to take her back to Tianmai Mountain. Yao Lao Xian guided Xue Ranran past the Hundred Treasures Cave and brought her to the final trial, the Lingying Cave. This cave preserved the obsessions of those who had attempted the trials in the past.
Xue Ranran wished to see Su Yishui’s obsession, but Yao Lao Xian explained that Su Yishui had entered the Black Pool and therefore left no obsession behind. Xue Ranran successfully entered the Washing Marrow Pool and formed a Golden Core within her body. Meanwhile, Mu Ranwu, who was capturing the Zhuque, immediately sensed the change. The demon cultivator Gui Ba Qian appeared beside Xue Ranran, attempting to steal her spiritual power.
Xue Ranran suspected that Gui Ba Qian was one of Wei Jiu's subordinates, and after some questioning, she discovered that it was actually Wei Jiu himself disguised as Gui Ba Qian. The two confronted each other for a while before leaving the Washing Marrow Pool. After the trial ended, all participants returned to the edge of the deep cliff.
Wei Jiu continued using magic to harm others, and Mu Ranwu, watching from the side, took out the royal artifact, the Fan Tian Xi, attempting to suppress everyone. However, the Fan Tian Xi spun in the air for a while before shattering a nearby cliff and returning to Su Yu’s side. In that instant, the Four Rivers Waterway was completely unblocked. Having lost face in front of everyone, Mu Ranwu released the Devouring Immortal Worms to destroy the scene.
Xue Ranran instructed Gao Cang and Qiu Xier to use the Earth Escape Talisman while she distracted the worms. After they escaped, Xue Ranran felt herself growing weak. The White Tiger appeared once again and carried her as they jumped off the cliff and into the water. Mu Ranwu ran alone to the foot of Tianmai Mountain, biting back first by accusing Wei Jiu of releasing the Devouring Immortal Worms to harm people.
Su Yishui then took Xue Ranran to a cave, and soon after, Wei Jiu arrived. Su Yishui used Soul Control to bind Wei Jiu, who immediately understood that Xue Ranran had only been able to enter the Washing Marrow Pool with Su Yishui's help. Wei Jiu begged Xue Ranran to release him from the Soul Control, and the two walked over to Su Yishui.
Xue Ranran gave Su Yishui a top-grade Continuity Pill to nourish his meridians but only gave Wei Jiu some ineffective herbs for external injuries. Wei Jiu then used Soul Absorption to demand the Continuity Pill from Xue Ranran. Su Yishui immediately broke Wei Jiu’s formation, saying that Wei Jiu was too cunning and preparing to kill him. Xue Ranran intervened, pleading for Wei Jiu's life, so Su Yishui resumed his meditation.
Wei Jiu continued to explain that Su Yishui had expended a great deal of spiritual power by attaching himself to the White Tiger for Xue Ranran’s sake. Not wanting Xue Ranran to worry, Su Yishui placed a sealing spell on Wei Jiu’s mouth, then split the Continuity Pill in half, taking it together with Xue Ranran.
Xue Ranran went outside the cave to gather herbs and accidentally entered another Lingying Cave, the place where the obsessions of those who had entered the Black Pool were preserved. Ling Xiao sensed this and unsealed Su Yishui’s obsession. Xue Ranran finally understood that Su Yishui was the master of Ling Xiao and had traded half of his Golden Core to ensure her rebirth. She hadn’t noticed when Su Yishui had silently stood behind her.
Upon seeing that Xue Ranran now knew everything, Su Yishui sincerely asked her to leave Mount Wester. Xue Ranran, however, decided that she could not give up on Su Yishui and placed him into her Qiankun Bag to heal. Back in front of Wei Jiu, the two decided to escape from Tianmai Mountain together. On their way, Xue Ranran saved the injured Zhuque. Soon after, they encountered a rupture in the earth’s veins and the Devouring Immortal Worms ran rampant.
The Zhuque suddenly transformed into a Phoenix and burned the Devouring Immortal Worms to death, opening the gate of Tianmai Mountain. Once everyone had exited Tianmai Mountain, they collectively accused Mu Ranwu of releasing the Devouring Immortal Worms to harm people. Unable to refute the accusations, Mu Ranwu falsely blamed Xue Ranran for colluding with Wei Jiu to frame her. Yan Liangyu decided to bring the three of them back to the Soul Locking Tower for trial.
As the formation was being activated, Su Yishui used his transmission technique to break the formation from a distance and saved the disciples of Mount Wester. However, the Ice Lotus within him shattered completely.
