"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 6]

Zai Xi?

Why is she bringing the wine?

[Brilliant Like Brocade]

Soul-stealing Gu*?
(Mythical poisonous insects)

How did this infamous evil Gu poison from the Dark Domain end up here?

Master.

Master!

Xuechen, leave!

Let's go.

How did Palace Master Su get infected all of a sudden?

Maybe she's been infected for a while.

The symptoms were just delayed because of her high cultivation level.

[Seal]

How much of your spiritual power have you regained?

Less than 40 percent.

Nan Xuyue, how long will the Soul-stealing Gu remain active?

Six hours. Then it'll lose its effect.

- Everyone, leave.
- They can all go. I'll stay with you.

This is Mirage Palace. I'm not leaving no matter what.

No one can leave now.

Don't kill them. They're still alive.

How are we supposed to fight them, otherwise?

They feel no pain and never tire.

They'll wear us out!

Those demonic vines...

Young Master!

What are you doing?

You won't let me kill them, so this is the only option.

Only demonic power can subdue the evil Gu.

I'm using evil to defeat evil.

Enough! Stop!

So you do care about me.

Stop!

Master!

Master.

Master.

Wake up, Master!

This is when I should stop.

- Mu Xuanling.
- Master.

Mu Xuanling!

[Warble Hall]

How is she?

Had Miss Mu been injured before?

What do you mean?

Her pulse indicates she has old injuries that haven't healed.

On top of that, she used her blood to form the array,

causing her demonic energy to leak out, and worsening her condition.

What is it?

Are her spiritual apertures damaged?

Yes.

She told me before.

In that case,

she can't cultivate spiritual power like other members of the Spirit Clan.

Nor can she form spiritual essence.

Her only choice is to absorb demonic energy to strengthen her demonic power.

But for someone of the Spirit Clan, both leaking and absorbing demonic energy...

are agonizing to the point one is better off dead.

You're skilled in medicine.

Is there any way to help her recover?

Xuyue?

I'm not familiar with demonic power either.

I'll check the Mirage Palace's herb storage...

and see if there's anything she can use.

Had Miss Mu been injured before?

She has old injuries that haven't healed.

On top of that, she used her blood to form the array,

causing her demonic energy to leak out...

Be careful!

...and worsening her condition.

Feng Yao, do you know what fear feels like?

Fear?

Why do you ask, Young Master?

I think I felt it.

I think I was scared she might die.

I'm not sure if that was fear.

All I know is...

that I didn't want her to die.

You haven't spent much time with her.

Why are you so concerned about this old acquaintance?

I can't explain it.

I just have this feeling that everything is meant to be.

Do you think she could be the one I've been dreaming of?

She often appears in my dreams,

but I can never clearly see her face or the place we're in.

It all feels so familiar.

Could Mu Xuanling be her?

If you're unsure, spend more time with her to find out if she is.

Xuanling.

Master.

Come here. It's time to train.

It hurts!

Master, it hurts!

Do you want power?

Do you want revenge?

Feel the demonic energy.

Draw it into your body.

Don't reject it.

Remember, demonic energy is the source of your strength.

People will betray you.

Feelings will betray you.

The only thing you can rely on is power.

Master, why is our cultivation so painful?

Because...

we were born sinners.

- Mu Xuanling.
- It hurts.

It hurts.

Mu Xuanling.

Is there that much to record?

You may be used to it...

but you're still quite a novelty to me.

What's wrong? Are you curious about what I wrote about you?

- Want to take a look?
- I'm not curious at all.

He stole the horse and left me behind when I was being so gentle.

He's difficult to deal with.

[He's difficult to deal with.]

He just killed a few hundred members of the Dark Clan, yet he kept boasting about it.

- This half.
- It was quite over the top.

A prominently large area. People usually don't forget something like that.

Bad memory.
[Bad memory]

I can't believe he trapped me in this array. This is infuriating.

Xie Xuechen, you scoundrel!

[He's quite conceited and arrogant.]

[Skilled in swordsmanship, arrays, and making me mad]

Today, he watched the moon with me.

Well, to be precise, I insisted on watching the moon with him.

The moon wasn't round or bright.

There wasn't much to see.

But standing there alone, he looked so lonely,

so I was kind enough to keep him company.

I talked to him about the Dark Domain.

He didn't comment on my past, or share anything about his own.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the blood moon in the Dark Domain,

while he is the bright moon of the human realm, distant at times, yet close at others.

We each have our own place, never crossing paths.

But if it's possible, I want him to know

that he doesn't have to live such a lonely life.

Young Sect Master Xie, I took an arrow for you earlier.

Though it happened in the illusion, it still hurts.

You are not even asking about my injury.

How about you let me consume the demonic essence of Desire Shadow?

I can gain some power.

Mu Xuanling?

Mu Xuanling?

You're awake.

Xie Xuechen!

- Where do you feel uncomfortable?
- My body hurts.

It hurts so much.

My head hurts.

My chest hurts.

My hands and feet hurt, too.

Everything hurts.

Even the clothes I'm wearing feel like knives cutting into me.

Circulate your power to absorb the demonic energy, and it won't hurt as much.

Xie Xuechen, am I affected by the Gu poison, too?

Why... Why does it hurt so much?

You're not affected by the Gu poison.

You just consumed the Desire Shadow's demonic essence,

so demonic energy is flowing back into your body.

You need to circulate your power to take it in.

The Desire Shadow's demonic essence?

All right, I'll try.

♫ Please follow me to watch the fireworks in the world ♫

♫ My heart blooms like a thousand peach blossoms because of you ♫

♫ After experiencing a difficult journey, I can still talk and laugh with ease ♫

♫ Because we hold each other tightly, ♫

♫ Because you're still ♫

♫ bright and beautiful as yesterday ♫

♫ Please follow me to watch the fireworks in the world ♫

♫ My heart blooms like a thousand peach blossoms because of you ♫

♫ After experiencing a difficult journey, I can still talk and laugh with ease ♫

Be unmoved, undisturbed, and without ego.

Be without thoughts.

Stay calm.

And forget.

Xie Xuechen, what are you doing?

♫ My support as before ♫

Cultivator Gao, is there anything you need?

Mu Xuanling's demonic power neutralized the Soul-stealing Gu.

I've cleansed everyone of the lingering demonic energy with Multi-colored Glazed Clear Mind Pills.

They'll wake up tomorrow.

I'm here because I want you to tell me the truth behind Mu Xuanling.

It's true that she's a member of the Spirit Clan.

But with her spiritual apertures damaged, she has no choice but to cultivate demonic power.

It was she and I who fought you at the inn the other day.

We just used magical artifacts to hide our faces.

I thought her demonic vines looked familiar!

You two have been lying to me all this time. She tried to kill me that day!

That was all a misunderstanding.

Besides, it started with you mistakenly capturing the Treasure-sniffing Mouse

and attacking first.

You should see by now that Mu Xuanling has no ill intentions.

So now you're defending the Spirit Clan?

Aren't you doing the same, Cultivator Gao?

You're showing mercy to the Spirit Clan, too.

I didn't, and I won't.

You knew Mu Xuanling was cultivating demonic power, and was in a weak state.

If you'd truly been against her,

you could've had her arrested by the Spirit Management Bureau.

But instead, you let her stay in Mirage Palace to recuperate,

and you came to me to ask about the truth.

I just didn't want people to think I couldn't tell right from wrong.

And besides, aren't you worried she'll betray your trust?

Are you talking about Mu Xuanling or Cui Wanwan?

I can trust you to keep Mu Xuanling's situation secret from Palace Master Su, right?

I'm not one to gossip. She's your responsibility.

Keep an eye on her.

Villa Master Nan, you arrived just in time.

Could you tell me more about the Soul-stealing Gu?

Why did everyone get affected?

It's recorded in an ancient text.

To make the poison, you need to capture Dark Domain Gu insects,

feed them with your own blood, and grind them into powder once they mature.

Then, coat an object with the powder,

and anyone who touches the object will become your puppet when you die.

They'll forget everything except your dying wish.

The poison can also spread, affecting many people.

Where could this object be hidden?

Even my master didn't notice it.

It doesn't necessarily need to be hidden.

It could be something so obvious

that no one thought to question it.

What do you mean?

Cui Wanwan did it.

She knew the Rewinding Array could be a trap,

so she risked her life to sabotage it.

She also had a backup plan.

She put the Soul-stealing Gu powder on the token.

If she survived, she would destroy the array and the spiritual essence herself,

keeping her secret safe.

But if she failed and died, the Soul-stealing Gu would be activated,

and naturally, someone would kill Xie Xuechen for her.

But her goal was to eliminate humans and protect the Spirit Clan.

Why would she want to kill Xie Xuechen?

"Possessing something valuable is to invite trouble."

Xuechen knows the Jade Archway Technique.

He's the most powerful human and the future pillar of the Immortal Alliance.

If she wanted to destroy humanity, she must first destroy the hope of the human race.

To complete her mission,

she was willing to even risk her own life.

She must have had a deep hatred.

Sirs, I'm tired, so I'll take my leave now.

- Why did you come back?
- What are you doing here?

I've found a method that might ease Miss Mu's pain.

Come on. Let's try it on her.

Don't bother. She's fine now.

Already?

Perhaps her strength sped up her recovery.

Anyway, she's already asleep.

It's better if you leave her alone.

You should know this.

You're not good at lying.

Why would I lie to you? She really is asleep.

I'm not talking about Miss Mu.

You used to remain sober after drinking 1,000 cups of wine,

and earlier, you claimed to not drink wine?

It was so obvious you were lying.

Oh, Xie Xuechen, did it never occur to you why she is called "Desire Shadow"?

How could you just feed me her demonic essence like that?

Don't hold my actions from last night against me.

How dare she poison us with Gu!

What a shame. Cui Wanwan died just like that.

It was too easy for her.

If I'd known she was this vicious, I would've torn her to pieces long ago!

Master, Cui Wanwan is already dead, and the turmoil in Mirage Palace has settled.

Please don't work yourself up over her.

I'm angry with her, not with you. Don't be scared.

But, Qiumin, after all this chaos,

you should realize that there are very few people and things you can trust in this world.

In the end, the only one you can rely on is yourself,

so you must make yourself stronger and more invulnerable.

Do you understand?

I understand.

Although I don't remember everything from last night, I do have some vague recollections.

Xie Xuechen's spiritual power hasn't fully recovered.

How did the five of you quell such an intense wave of puppets?

Although Xie Xuechen's spiritual power hasn't fully recovered,

he observed closely and found a flaw in the puppets.

Combined with Nan Xuyue's unparalleled arrays,

the two of them neutralized the Gu poison without much effort.

This time, we owe Snow City and Profound Excellence Villa a huge favor.

Knowing we'll have to repay the favor sooner or later really makes me uneasy.

In the Immortal Alliance, we look out for each other like family.

They won't expect anything in return.

Look out for each other...

like family?

Do you really believe that?

I've heard that the Immortal Alliance cultivators rise with the sun,

but Young Sect Master Xie, you got up quite late today.

Could it be that you were lying awake all night, thinking about someone or something?

Is that why you got up late?

Stop talking nonsense.

Is it nonsense?

Or did someone take advantage of me while I wasn't fully sane?

- Last night, you were the one who...
- What did I do?

You were the one who fed me the essence.

Who knows if you did it accidentally or if you had other motives?

Maybe you said one thing but meant another.

You rejected me with words, but deep down...

I only did it to save you.

So you admit it.

You do care about me.

You care so much that you secretly went through my notebook.

I offered to let you read it, but you had to do it behind my back.

Is it because you thought peeking was more exciting?

I didn't peek.

I left your notebook by your pillow last night

so that when you woke up, you'd see it, and know I'd read it.

I didn't try to hide anything, so it doesn't count as peeking.

Xie Xuechen, don't you think that sounds like sophistry?

You're just stubborn.
(Lit. hard lipped)

Wait, I know best whether your lips are hard or not.

They are actually quite soft.

So you know how to dodge?

Then why didn't you dodge last night?

Will you stop backing away?

Give me a kiss.

Miss Mu, why are you up so early after exhausting yourself last night?

Are you feeling better?

Thanks to Young Sect Master Xie's help last night, I'm almost fully recovered.

I came here to thank him personally.

The Immortal Alliance is facing an emergency.

I've wasted quite a bit of time in Mirage Palace.

I should hurry back to Profound Excellence Villa

and use the Teleporting Array to return to Snow City.

Before I came here, I already arranged for the array materials to be prepared.

- Let's go.
- We—

Say our goodbyes to Palace Master Su.

Why is he in such a hurry?

It's not like I'm going to eat him.

Wait for me!

Palace Master Su, now that the chaos at your palace has been resolved,

I must leave to attend to matters in Snow City.

I'm here to bid you farewell.

In that case, I won't keep you.

But, Young City Lord, your spiritual power hasn't fully recovered.

Why don't I send some of my disciples to escort you?

Profound Excellence Villa will take care of that.

Don't worry, Palace Master Su.

Besides, Mirage Palace has just been through a battle.

You and your disciples should take time to recover.

Thank you for your kindness, Palace Master.

Qiumin, see them off for me.

Yes.

Farewell.

This way, please.

[Mirage Palace]

Cultivator Gao, this is far enough.

Mu Xuanling, let me tell you this.

I only kept your secret from my master out of respect for Xie Xuechen.

You'd better turn over a new leaf

- and start acting like a decent...
- Person?

For me to act like a human is quite a challenge.

Enough with the wordplay.

If I ever catch you causing trouble again,

I'll hand you over to the Spirit Management Bureau myself.

Thank you, Young Palace Master, for your forgiveness.

In return,

I won't tell anyone about how you mistakenly captured a Treasure-sniffing Mouse,

took treasures from a little child, and lost to me.

Everyone can hear you. Couldn't you keep it down?

- Why are you like this?
- Like what?

- Since you both want to make peace...
- We don't!

Right.

No matter what, you shouldn't be arguing here right now.

We're in a hurry.

Stop bickering.

Fine. See yourself out.

Why are you so hostile toward Gao Qiumin?

Do you have some past grudge against her?

You're so forgetful.

Even if I told you, you wouldn't remember.

Am I forgetful?

A'Bao, what do you think of this one?

The aura of this crystal feels off. It's not 300 years old.

It's at most 70 years old.

- Only 70 years?
- See for yourself.

But it looks so ancient.

A'Bao, why don't you sniff it again, just to be sure?

Enough.

A'Bao is a Treasure-sniffing Mouse.

She knows what she's doing.

There's no way she could be wrong about the age.

A'Bao, take a break.

If there's anything else you'd like to eat, just let us know.

- A'Bao, why don't you have some snacks first?
- All right.

Sister?

Sister!

A'Bao!

It's only been three days.

Did you really miss me that much?

Perhaps I should've brought you along to meet Gao Qiumin.

I'd rather not.

Brother Xie, Villa Master Nan, and Sister Feng Yao.

Greetings, Villa Master.

Are the array materials ready?

Yes. They're being refined now. It'll be done in the afternoon.

In the afternoon?

It seems you'll have to wait half a day longer.

Why don't you rest in your room?

By the time you've regained your strength, the refinement should be complete.

Xuyue, thank you.

Go and get some rest.

You'll have plenty to deal with when you return to Snow City.

Xie Xuechen!

What is it?

You really are forgetful.

You still owe me an answer.

Fine. I'll ask you again.

Can I go back to Snow City with you?

Mu Xuanling, I have a question for you.

Answer me honestly.

Sure.

Do you really want to start anew outside the Dark Domain?

Don't move.

You want my honest answer, don't you?

You think I always tell half-truths, and you can't tell when I'm being honest, right?

Xie Xuechen, I wasn't always like this.

There was a time when I treated others very sincerely.

Do you believe me?

However, in the Dark Domain, sincerity and kindness won't keep you alive.

The Dark Domain shows no mercy.

It only respects strength.

I had to fight my way through and hide behind a facade just to survive.

Only by surviving could I meet the people I wanted to see and repay the debts I owed.

I'm being completely honest with you now.

I don't want to return to the Dark Domain.

I want to live under the sunlight.

Will you take me with you?

Your temperament doesn't align with Snow City.

So when we get there,

you'll have to start as an entry-level external disciple, refine your character,

and turn over a new leaf.

Sure!

- You mustn't use demonic power anymore.
- I won't.

And no pestering me.

I–

That might be a bit difficult.

All right, I'll try my best to restrain myself.

Sister, did you really agree to Brother's conditions?

Why did you eavesdrop?

Sister, I'm a mouse, remember?

Are you really going to stop pestering Brother?

Of course not.

So you lied again!

I didn't!

I just said I'd try my best to restrain myself.

Whether I succeed or not is another matter.

Brother will be led astray by you sooner or later.

I'll take responsibility for that.

Young Master, aren't you going to ask her to stay?

She's already made her choice.

I can't change her mind.

Both before and now, I have not been able to keep her.

A big plate of candies in exchange for just some affection.

She's such a stingy girl.

Father.

Who were you talking to just now?

A young spirit slave.
[Nan Wujiu]

Did Alliance Leader Gao refuse to lend us the Chaos Pearl?

It doesn't matter if my extra spiritual aperture can't be restored.

There's still a lot I can do.

For example, I could help improve Profound Excellence Villa's

- defenses...
- It doesn't matter?

How could you say that?

Do you have any idea what strength and glory your extra aperture could've brought you?

Profound Excellence Villa is in decline.

I'd always hoped you could restore its glory.

But look at you.

You've become nothing but a cripple.

And now you dare to tell me it doesn't matter?

Gao Fengxu wouldn't lend us the Chaos Pearl.

Let's go.

Father,

can I take that spirit slave with us?

Are you joking?

With three apertures destroyed, you're basically useless.

What right do you have to ask the Immortal Alliance Leader for a spirit slave?

You...

We had a fleeting encounter one afternoon long ago.

To her, I was just the most ordinary passerby.

I couldn't take her with me then.

Nor can I keep her now.

When the timing isn't right, everything becomes a mistake.

So, are you going to give up?

Give up?

I still haven't figured out if she's the person I've been dreaming of.

If she's not staying,

I'll go with her.

What's the harm in that?
