"Burning Fire" by BABY-J

♫ In the silent world in the universe ♫

♫ When light and darkness overlap ♫

♫ From the chaos, I write my story ♫

♫ The sky is full of snow and wind ♫

♫ Raging from being banished from the mortal world ♫

♫ A sword pierces the sun and moon ♫

♫ Snow falls thousands of times and comforts me, with God as my witness ♫

♫ I pierce the night with a blood-forged sword ♫

♫ Writing in defiance of fate ♫

♫ The burning fire splits the sun and moon, unafraid of the wind and snow ♫

♫ I bear the scorching heat of the world ♫

♫ Disregarding everything for humanity ♫

♫ In this moment of reincarnation ♫

♫ Burning through this lifetime's blossoms ♫

[The Blossoming Love]

[Episode 16]

Ningxi, this is the Sword of Vitality.

It's yours now.

Sword of Vitality.
[20 Years Ago]

That's a beautiful name.
[Wind-resting Pavilion]

I don't understand why you have to go back,

and you won't let me come with you.

If your master hears that you are leaving with me,

she will make it hard for you.

She wants you to marry Gao Fengxu, the leader of the Immortal Alliance.

[Su Ningxi]

I'm worried that you might be in danger.

This is the only thing I won't let my master decide.

After I say goodbye to Master and A'Zhen,

we can go to a place where no one can find us.

What do you think?

Great.

When I'm not with you, this will keep you safe.

Ningxi!

Why?

Because you disgust me.

So, everything that happened between us was just you tricking me.

Eliminate all survivors of the Blue Wolf Clan!

Yes.

This was a trap from the beginning.

I am the young master of Mirage Palace.

How could I fall for a despicable Spirit Clan member like you?

Greetings, Saintess.

I am surprised to see

that there are things that can make my master brood by himself.

Why did you ask me to come here, Master?

Your Demonic Vine of Judgement was confiscated by the Immortal Alliance.

This is a new artifact that I made you.

The name is Severed Thoughts.

Its power is much stronger than the Demonic Vine of Judgement.

Severed Thoughts.

I like the name.

Thank you, Master.

Master,

the Decaying Immortal Pavilion has acquired the Chaos Pearl.

When are they going to deactivate the Ten Thousand Immortal Barrier?

I want to take revenge on the Immortal Alliance.

The Chaos Pearl in Snow City is a fake.

The Chaos Pearl has always been sealed in Snow City.

How could it be a fake?

Is the master of the Decaying Immortal Pavilion

trying to go back on his promise using an excuse?

He's not that stupid.

Master.

I can go to the human realm again to find the real Chaos Pearl for you.

That's not an urgent matter.

Your Jade Archway Technique is not mature yet.

It's better for you to stay in the Dark Domain and train for a while.

City Lord Xie pitied you for losing your demonic power,

and taught you the Jade Archway Technique.

You shouldn't waste his kindness.

Yes.

The beacon of righteousness?

Detached sword cultivator?

With a little love scheme, he is still utterly lost.

Why didn't I just kill him in one strike and be done with it?

How nice would that be?

Yes.

Why didn't you just kill him?

It's easy.

When my Jade Archway Technique is ready,

I will take Xie Xuechen's head,

and hang it in the Temple of Divine Execution as a keepsake for you.

To guard the Chaos Pearl, the Immortal Alliance paid a great price.

All that just for a fake!

But when was the Chaos Pearl switched?

I think it was a fake that was put in the Pearl Tower in the first place.

I believe that with Alliance Leader Xie's integrity,

he would never do something like that.

Besides, he guarded the Chaos Pearl with his life.

So, we can remove him from the list of suspects.

Then it must have been switched before it was put in the Pearl Tower.

Could it have been Bright Moon Villa?

What we can be sure of is that the real Chaos Pearl

is not in the hands of the Decaying Immortal Pavilion.

That's one thing to be glad about.

The Chaos Pearl was lost in Snow City.

I will be responsible for finding the real one,

and will give everyone an explanation.

But you guys should understand

that the Immortal Alliance was never about guarding one specific artifact.

It is guarding the tranquil life of humanity and peace of the world.

Whether the Chaos Pearl is real or not,

our goal will never change.

I'm just glad that City Lord Xie is all right.

We are waiting here today

because we want to ask City Lord Xie about something.

The Jade Sky Palace hopes City Lord Xie can succeed as the alliance leader.

City Lord Xie put aside his personal safety and saved humanity multiple times.

You are the one with the most contributions to the Immortal Alliance

and the one that we trust the most.

The Jade Sky Palace would like to follow City Lord Xie to keep guarding humanity.

The Spirit Osprey Island would love to follow Alliance Leader Xie.

The Suspended Sky Sect would like to follow Alliance Leader Xie.

The Mirage Palace would like to follow Alliance Leader Xie.

I'm not interested in being the leader.

I have to ask you to find another candidate.

City Lord Xie,

when Sang Qi and the Decaying Immortal Pavilion attacked,

we didn't have enough power to fight them

and brought danger to the people and the Chaos Pearl.

That's our failure and fault.

Thanks to you, it was not all ruined that night.

We know what we saw.

We can't live up to the code of the Immortal Alliance.

City Lord Xie may not be interested in the position,

but the Immortal Alliance is in urgent need of a new leader to keep going,

and humanity can have hopes and a future.

Therefore,

we plead with City Lord Xie to accept the position.

- Please accept the position.
- Please accept the position.

I can be the acting alliance leader for the time being.

After all of this is over,

we'll have to select another leader for the Immortal Alliance.

- For the time being? But—
- The news that the Chaos Pearl has been missing will get out.

Masters, please return to your cities and ease the people's minds.

I will take the disciples of Snow City to guard the Two Realms Mountain

and watch out for any actions from the Dark Domain.

Mirage Palace is the closest to the Two Realms Mountain.

Palace Master Su, please send help.

Yes.

- Yes, Alliance Leader Xie.
- Yes, Alliance Leader Xie.

The Immortal Alliance does respect you,

but they are also pushing you to the front line.

The imposed position brings no benefit.

Your experience boils down to five words.

No good deed goes unpunished.

The Two Realms Mountain is very close to the Dark Domain.

That means she's close.

Do you want to save her?

How about you?

Are you acting on your own or coming with me?

You need to find the Chaos Pearl, guard the Ten Thousand Immortal Barrier,

stay vigilant about the Spirit Clan and the Dark Clan, and save her.

If I don't go with you,

you will be the first leader of the Immortal Alliance who dies from overworking.

Before we set off, there's an arrangement that I need to make.

Cultivator Gao, do you know how the Chaos Pearl was delivered to Snow City?

Back then, when Sang Qi and his demon troops attacked Bright Moon Villa,

I was young. My memory is a blur.

All I know is that the then-master of Mirage Palace, Venerable Miao Hua was there.

I was saved, and the Chaos Pearl was brought away.

Venerable Miao Hua was Palace Master Su's master. Right?

Yes. My mother, Su Ningxi, and my master were sisters.

She was also Venerable Miao Hua's disciple.

It's just that my mother died while giving birth to me.

Venerable Miao Hua was the one who brought the Chaos Pearl to Snow City.

My father was also there when the pearl was sealed in the tower.

I asked Elder Cang.

The Pearl Tower was never opened over the years.

There were no abnormalities either.

What are you trying to say?

My father guarded the Chaos Pearl until his last breath.

Snow City has nothing to do with this, no doubt.

There's only one possibility left.

The Chaos Pearl that was delivered to Snow City was a fake.

Are you saying that our Mirage Palace is the thief

and that Venerable Miao Hua and my master faked the pearl

to take the real one for themselves?

The Mirage Palace is not my enemy or the Snow City's enemy.

I just want to find the Chaos Pearl

to stop Decaying Immortal Pavilion and the Dark Clan.

I'm having this talk with you not to blame anyone,

but rather to ask for a favor.

Do you want me investigate my master for you?

Yes.

Shortly after what happened at Bright Moon Villa,

Venerable Miao Hua gave the leadership to Palace Master Su and was never seen again.

Palace Master Su is the one most likely to know what happened.

Then Sang Qi and my master must have been good friends.

One brought massacre upon Bright Moon Villa

while the other stole the important artifact.

In that case, why did Sang Qi come to Snow City?

If you had no doubts, you wouldn't have come to see me.

You also want the truth, don't you?

City Lord Xie,

I've collected all the things that Junior Sister Xuanling left behind.

Should we seal them off or...

Classes, chores, and shifts.

Life in Snow City is so boring.

The process of becoming a common human is so long.

[I drank water from his tea cup.]

[He brought a lot of swords to me, and I didn't like any of them.]

It's strange.

I found the boring people and events in Snow City

are somewhat interesting.

Did they become more interesting or have I become boring?

It turns out that I have never escaped Sang Qi's control.

Will I never be able to get what I want?

Whether in the past or in the present.

Never mind.

Let death come.

I will help Xie Xuechen to guard the things he wants to guard this once.

Put everything back as they were.

Keep everything.

City Lord Xie, are you saying that she might come back?

Yes.

Understood.

[Evening Spirit Pavilion]

I heard that the Saintess managed to activate spiritual apertures as a Spirit Clan member!

She's training with spiritual power today, right?

I wonder between spiritual power and our demonic power, which one is stronger?

Since you are so curious about the spiritual power, you can taste it yourselves.

Cultivating with spiritual power and demonic power are similar.

They are both about accumulating power and mastering it.

The key is to keep practicing.

Saintess! Spare us!

I just need to keep fine control over spiritual power,

to not kill a Dark Clan member in an instant.

Just like fire won't burn a candle down in an instant.

Saintess!

It's been a while.

Ignorance Shadow and War Shadow have been avoiding me.

Are the three of you still holding a grudge for what happened in the human realm?

Or do you think less of me since I've lost my demonic power?

How ruthless are my comrades?

Don't be ridiculous.

His Grace trusts you as always.

We heard that you've been busy cultivating spiritual power,

and we didn't dare to disturb you.

Do you think you have the right

to stick your noses in my business?

You said that you didn't dare to disturb me.

What's so important that changed your mind?

His Grace summoned you.

Now?

Master.

Are you finally letting me go to the human realm?

I heard that you captured quite a few Dark Clan members.

I was just focusing on improving the Jade Archway Technique as you requested.

It seems that you've been practicing well.

Go, then.

Do you know where to get started?

Mirage Palace.

Their young master, Gao Qiumin, has been a good friend of mine since Bright Moon Villa.

I believe that she will help me find the Chaos Pearl.

Good.

Master.

Do you trust me?

Why are you asking that?

No reason.

I'm just worried that since I failed to get the Chaos Pearl from Xie Xuechen,

you doubt my loyalty because of that.

You shouldn't worry about that.

Go.

Mu Xuanling is a Spirit Clan member, yet she acts like she's a Dark Clan member.

She's a little different after she returned.

No.

Maybe she has gotten better at pretending.

His Grace is also a member of the Spirit Clan.

If you ask me, no one is more like a Dark Clan member than His Grace.

She betrayed us for a human, and she will do it again.

I will never believe that she'd be loyal to His Grace.

- Your Grace, what is Saintess's...
- You don't need to know.

What about you?

I have acquired the Jade Archway Technique and activated my spiritual apertures.

I just need to train for a few days longer to completely control

both spiritual power and demonic power.

I will defeat our enemies with their weapon.

Isn't that interesting?

Yes.

I didn't get such a warm welcome the last time I came to the human realm.

Mu Xuanling! Palace Master asked us to inspect the Two Realms Mountain every day

to prevent the Dark Domain and the Spirit Clan from invading the human realm again.

I didn't expect the Saintess of the Dark Domain to arrive.

Su Ningzhen. It seems that she has been thinking about Master and I.

I didn't expect to be spotted right after arriving in the human realm.

Well, to avoid my whereabouts getting out, I should kill you all.

How are you using spiritual power?

Isn't that interesting?

I wonder if your souls burn faster than that of Dark Clan members.

Villa Master Nan, I knew it was you.

Miss Mu! Here we meet again.

How did you manage to escape?

Escape?

After Sang Qi took you, I was worried that he might have hurt you.

Villa Master Nan, I think you've misunderstood something.

I was trapped in Snow City, and Master was the one to bring me home.

He has treated me really well.

How could he hurt me?

Go home?

Villa Master Nan, we have spent time together.

But if you are going to help those cultivators from the Immortal Alliance,

I will not go easy on you.

Miss Mu, why don't you tell me

what happened after you got back to the Dark Domain.

To think back, Nan Xuyue seems to have some feelings for me.

Villa Master Nan, I've let my master down.

I need to find a way to make it up.

Villa Master Nan, since you care about me, maybe you can help me out.

You are...

What do you want me to do?

To start with, deactivate all the arrays in this forest

and let me kill all of those cultivators.

Then what? Keep trying to obtain the Chaos Pearl?

You are always so smart.

I always knew that you were different from Xie Xuechen.

You don't care about the Immortal Alliance or the Human Clan.

You are helping Xie Xuechen because you want to see

what interesting things you can find in this boring world.

What you really care about is me.

Am I right?

I can see through you, and you can see through me as well.

Villa Master Nan, join me.

I can give you what you want.

That includes that "little affection."

Spirits live for thousands of years.

The world is vast, and there are countless men.

Why would I throw my life away for a mere Xie Xuechen?

This act of liking you has gone on for too long.

I'm tired of it.

Enemies always meet.

I don't think Xie Xuechen will be merciful anymore.

Mu Xuanling!

Mu Xuanling! Since you have gotten out, why are you running?

You want to kill me.

It's a shame that I failed.

Why not pursue her?

Xie Xuechen is there. She won't get away.

She's a little weird.

The mole under her eye is called Mundane Tear.

It's the sign of drinking Enlightened-heart Water.

Enlightened-heart Water?

It is documented in the Profound Excellence Archive.

It's a type of medicine that makes people forget about love.

Forget about love.

Why would she take it?

Should we let Xie Xuechen know?

No matter what the reason might be,

she has forgotten all kinds of personal feelings.

If you were me, would you tell Xie Xuechen?

But she doesn't love Xie Xuechen...

or you.

I know.

You saw it in your divination, didn't you?

The ending of Xie Xuechen and her.

How will they end?

Destined to meet, but fated not to be together.

The coldness and the intention to kill in her eyes was real.

Is it because I left her behind and that hurt her?

What a bad beginning.

Why did I have to encounter the most difficult target in the Immortal Alliance?

Xie Xuechen is a shrewd man.

Fighting him head-to-head will not do.

I need to be smart about this.

Xie Xuechen.

Say something.

Stop reading.

Do you want to know why I attacked you earlier?

You know this.

Sang Qi put Heartstring on me.

It wasn't me who tried to kill you.

He controlled me.

Xie Xuechen,

what I said that day was not my intention.

How could I not love you?

I went through all kinds of dangers to escape the Dark Domain

just so that I can get back to you, and be with you forever.

What happened to you?

We haven't seen each other for so long.

Don't you miss me?

They say that time apart makes the heart grow fonder.

You've set a barrier outside.

No one can get in.

How about...

I have other matters.

You should rest.

Just as expected.

This is the way to make him leave.

Master.

Luck did not favor me.

I met our nemesis, Xie Xuechen.

What?

Already got caught as soon as you arrived in the human realm

and you want me to save you?

That's not necessary.

But I do have another plan.

Xie Xuechen will not give up on searching for the Chaos Pearl.

With him there, I don't need to go to Mirage Palace and find Gao Qiumin.

So, I want to follow him.

Even if I can't get the Chaos Pearl directly, I will get clues.

Are you sure

that he will allow you?

That's why I'd like to ask you to do something for me.

If Xie Xuechen can witness that I suffer from Heartstring,

how could he leave me here by myself?

All right.

Tonight, I will help you put on another show.

I always knew that you were different from Xie Xuechen.

You don't care about the Immortal Alliance or the Human Clan.

What you really care about is me.

Am I right?

I can see through you, and you can see through me as well.

Villa Master Nan, join me.

I can give you what you want.

That includes that "little affection."

I knew you would come here to look for me.

Do you also feel that there's something strange about her?

Her tone, behaviors, expressions, vibe, and the grey mole under her eye...

Everything is strange.

But her mind is clear.

There's no sign of her being controlled like when we were in Snow City.

Just ask what you want to know.

What were you talking about in the forest?

She said that she was here for the Chaos Pearl, and she wanted me to help her.

In return, she would give me what I want.

What you want?

Her affection.

Nan Xuyue.

You do know how to annoy people.

You asked.

I was just telling the truth.

She has betrayed the Dark Domain and joined me.

She never liked human beings.

Yet for me, for the people I want to protect,

she risked everything including her life.

I abandoned her that day, and allowed her to be taken by Sang Qi.

That was my fault.

I abandoned her once.

That will never happen again.

If the Immortal Alliance won't tolerate her, I will protect her.

City Lord Xie, you are finally living like a real person.

Just like when I first met you.

You have desires, persistence, and do not accept restraint.

Always trying to win.

It's not about winning or losing when it comes to her.

I will never let her go again.

Even if you have feelings for her,

I will not make any concessions.

I know.

I knew that when you decided to come to the Two Realms Mountain.

Oh, right. I need to talk to you about something.

There's an emergency that requires me to go back to Profound Excellence Villa.

I'm leaving early in the morning.

What is it?

It's a secret.

Fine.

Don't tell me.

It's just that I haven't thought this through myself.

If I want to share this secret one day,

you will hear it.

Okay.

What about the Chaos Pearl?

Any news?

I asked Gao Qiumin to help me with the investigation.

She might be the young master of Mirage Palace,

she was also once the young master of Bright Moon Villa.

I believe that she doesn't want the truth buried as well.

Master.

Be careful, it's hot.

You've been trying to say something lately.

Just say it.

Master,

what's the connection between Sang Qi and my mother?

Why did the Sword of Vitality recognize him as the master?

How can you connect him to your mother?

He was obsessed with my sister and gave her the Sword of Vitality.

How could my sister ever fall for a Spirit Clan member?

She was just too kind.

She felt sorry after driving him off, and kept the sword.

Is that really the whole truth?

Qiumin.

Master.

You were born with nine apertures.

Though not as talented as Xie Xuechen,

you are still one of the best among your peers.

But you've been too easy on yourself.

Until now, you are still in the Golden Essence stage.

I asked you to come here to channel my power to you.

Master, you are not fully recovered.

- If you give me your power...
- You don't have time to waste.

I will train harder.

Sang Qi and Mirage Palace have a life-and-death vendetta.

Since he won't stay quietly in that small Dark Domain,

he will be looking for a chance to get revenge.

Besides, now that the Chaos Pearl is missing,

he's not the only one watching Mirage Palace right now.

The world has changed.

It's getting more and more dangerous.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Master!

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Master, your hair...

Leave me.

- Master.
- Go.

[Green Mountain Pavilion]

Elder Zai Xi,

have you been waiting for long?

I'm here to talk to Palace Master.

It seems that I'm too late.

Go back.

Yes.

Now that the Chaos Pearl is missing,

he's not the only one watching Mirage Palace right now.

The world has changed.

It's getting more and more dangerous.

Do you understand?

Palace Master Su is the one most likely to know what happened.

You also want the truth, don't you?

By danger, is Master referring to Sang Qi or Xie Xuechen?

Why were you in a rush to give Qiumin your power?

The Chaos Pearl is missing.

A lot of eyes are on Mirage Palace.

The Ten Thousand Immortal Barrier can no longer constrain the Dark Clan.

Those filthy creatures lurking in the darkness will come to Mirage Palace sooner or later.

I can die, but not Qiumin.

Bright Moon Villa is no more, and Ningxi is dead.

Sang Qi may not come to Mirage Palace.

He can't wait to burn Mirage Palace to the ground

and completely remove those who cost him his arm from this world.

Why wouldn't he come?

If your sister didn't fall for that Spirit Clan member...

My sister did nothing wrong.

It was Sang Qi who seduced her...

And Miao Hua who forced her to marry Gao Fengxu.

Miao Hua did it for Mirage Palace.

Otherwise, how would Gao Fengxu agree to leave the Chaos Pearl

with Mirage Palace for a hundred years?

Yes.

Gao Fengxu wanted to restore the power of the Chaos Pearl

and Mirage Palace coveted that piece of unparalleled treasure.

Why not sacrifice just one person?

Miao Hua never saw her as a disciple.

She only cared for my sister

because she had the body of a Primordial Yin Maiden.

The body of a Primordial Yin Maiden?

That kind of body contains endless vitality.

Ordinary people believe they can revive dead people and regrow flesh and bones.

Who would have thought

that she could also be a container that nourishes objects!

Are you still holding on to all that?

You've already made Miao Hua pay a great price.

That's far from enough.

It's all in the past.

You are the master of Mirage Palace now.

Qiumin knows that Sang Qi shares a connection with her mother.

She will not let this go so easily.

She will ask questions she shouldn't.

Once someone gets curious, the buried secret will be revealed.

Can you risk letting her know?

If anyone learns that the real Chaos Pearl...

All the people who know that secret cannot talk anymore.

I will not tell Qiumin.

Even when I die.

That place is still there.

Traces from back then can be found in Bright Moon Villa.

I know that you don't want to be anywhere close to the place your sister stayed before.

But considering the situation,

we'd better make plans in advance.

Someone is there.

Is this true?

My mother loved Sang Qi.

She was forced to marry my father to nourish the Chaos Pearl.

Qiumin.
