Love of the Divine Tree Episode 8 Recap
> Love of the Divine Tree Recap
After Mu Qingge disappeared, Su Yishui finally understood everything and was heartbroken. He blamed Mu Qingge for making the decision on her own and sacrificing her life for him. But more than that, he felt a deep sense of pity and reluctance. He vowed to do whatever it took to bring Mu Qingge back to the mortal world.
While Ping Qinwang was fleeing in a desperate situation, he encountered Su Yishui and hurriedly asked him if Mu Qingge had left any instructions about the location of the spirit spring before her death. He believed that if they could obtain the spirit spring, they could reclaim the world. Su Yishui no longer wished to engage with Ping Qinwang and simply turned away, leaving without saying a word.
Su Yishui went to the Immortal Realm to seek an Immortal’s help in obtaining a Rebirth Tree. He endured the excruciating pain of the thousand lights and shifting shadows. After obtaining the Rebirth Tree, he planted it on the Immortal Terrace and used all his magical powers to nurture the tree until it bore fruit.
Zeng Yi reproached Su Yishui for owing Mu Qingge too much but still advised him to retreat and focus on cultivation, or his life would be short-lived. Su Yishui extracted his own soul to protect Mu Qingge’s rebirth fruit. Suddenly, the four great sects appeared together and demanded an explanation from Su Yishui.
They asked why he had used barriers to trap Mu Qingge’s remaining soul, why he was giving up the chance to attain the Transformation Stage, and why he was using half a Golden Pill to exchange for Mu Qingge’s rebirth. Su Yishui was unwilling to explain further and stated that if they did not approve of his decision, they could fight him to the death. Immortal Kaichen did not want to escalate the situation and led his group away.
Su Yishui remembered that Mu Qingge had instructed him to go to Wangxiang Pass to return the spirit spring to the Ghost Realm before she died. He brought Zeng Yi to Wangxiang Pass, but the spirit spring was well-hidden, and they couldn’t find it, which meant it was temporarily safe. Following the Immortal’s guidance, Su Yishui implanted the Ice Lotus into his body.
From then on, he could no longer experience the six emotions and seven desires, or else the Ice Lotus would turn against him. As Su Yishui reflected on his memories with Mu Qingge, Zeng Yi explained that the Heart Burning Curse Mu Qingge had set on him all those years ago was merely to cover up the Silencing Curse. While they were talking, they noticed something unusual happening around Xue Ranran.
They guessed that Mu Ranwu was about to be reborn. The Soul Devouring Lock had linked their souls together, causing Xue Ranran’s spiritual platform to become unstable. In order to sever the connection caused by the Soul Devouring Lock, Su Yishui rushed to Wangxiang Pass to use the Ice Lotus to perform a spell.
Zeng Yi mocked Su Yishui’s mood swings, but Yu Tong told him that Su Yishui had been using his powers to suppress his emotions for the past eighteen years. After Xue Ranran regained consciousness, she asked why she had aged so quickly after leaving Mount Wester. Su Yishui explained that the Rebirth Tree had been providing nourishment to Xue Ranran.
As for Zeng Yi, he introduced himself as Su Yishui's senior brother, which made things awkward, as he was also Xue Ranran’s fourteenth master uncle. He couldn’t bring himself to look Xue Ranran in the eye. Xue Ranran decided to stay on Mount Wester because Su Yishui had saved her multiple times, and she was certain he would not harm her. She also expressed her desire to save Ling Xiao.
Hearing that Liang Wumeng’s Blood Jade Essence could save Ling Xiao, Su Yishui agreed to take Xue Ranran to him. Upon arriving at Liang Wumeng’s residence, a young immortal servant informed them that Liang Wumeng was in seclusion, which would last for at least a year or even longer. Xue Ranran expressed her urgency to save Ling Xiao’s soul, and the servant told her there was another way — to nourish with the Formless Spiritual Root.
Xue Ranran was overjoyed to learn that she had the Formless Spiritual Root within her. Su Yishui and Zeng Yi advised that even so, she needed to continue practicing her cultivation. Xue Ranran, however, expressed her desire to cook a meal first, just like Mu Qingge, who also enjoyed the joys of mortal life.
Wei Jiu began a large-scale search for Xue Ranran, and Ping Qinwang believed that the more chaos there was between the two sides, the more it would benefit him. Xue Ranran cooked a meal on Mount Wester, but several of her senior brothers were afraid that indulging in food would affect their cultivation, so they didn’t dare to try it. Zeng Yi, however, walked to the table and told them that as long as they didn’t break any sect rules, they were free to enjoy the meal.
