"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 49"
Liu Ying and Xu Feng were sworn siblings.
She is considered to be my sister too.
I don't have the nerve to be your sister.
Fire Immortal and Your Majesty...
seem to define brotherhood differently.
I, Liu Ying only sworn eternal friendship with Fire Immortal.
Your Majesty is honourable,
that idea frightens me.
My proposal is for the future of both Heaven and Demon Realms.
I hope Princess of Biancheng could leave your prejudice behind...
work on it with all your efforts.
I'm not sure if all your big pictures and plans...
are conspiracies or overt acts.
I only know that...
when my father was framed and imprisoned by King of Gucheng,
every immortal of Heaven Realm remained indifferent,
except for Xu Feng.
He was grounded by late Heavenly Emperor,
yet he managed to find a way to help us.
I will remember it as long as I live.
I have sworn by the River of Unmindfulness that...
I will never betray him for the rest of my life.
But Your Majesty wants us to go to River of Unmindfulness...
look for Xu Feng's spirit and hand it to you.
That's making us the heartless men.
I admire you for being righteous.
However, I wonder if we could trade your righteousness...
for King of Gucheng's righteousness.
It seems that...
it's full of shameless rogues in Heaven Realm now.
Killing father and brother to seize the throne seems to be pretty common.
How dare you!
Liu Ying.
You have no right to speak here. Get out.
Po Jun Star Guardian.
If I'm not mistaken,
you are the trusted general...
who was discovered and promoted by Xu Feng.
Now that Xu Feng has passed away, now you're serving another master.
Congratulations for being promoted all the way up.
Princesses in Demon tribe has been upright.
I feel ashamed to associate with these hypocrites.
Shut up!
So,
does this mean that you will decline my proposal?
Please cease from anger, Your Majesty.
Liu Ying has no right to make decisions for Kingdom of Biancheng.
I don't mind to form an alliance. I only ask for justice.
Your Majesty wants us to go to River of Unmindfulness...
to search Xu Feng's spirit and hand it to you.
Should you promise us something too?
What do you want? Just speak your mind.
Xu Feng was brutally killed. I have yet to avenge his death.
Every injustice has its perpetrator.
I hope Your Majesty would hand over the culprit who murdered Xu Feng.
You are indeed the confidante of Xu Feng.
Living or dead, you still defend him.
Xu Feng lived a worthwhile life.
However,
Heavenly Empress-to-be from Heaven Realm...
eliminated the rebellious offender.
She has made a great contribution to Heaven Realm.
Thus, she is not guilty.
As a princess of Demon Realm, you shouldn't be bothered.
King of Biancheng.
It seems that...
Princess Liu Ying is confident enough to confront King of Gucheng.
I look forward to seeing it.
Let's go.
Rebellious offender? Who's actually the rebellious one?
We're very clear about it!
Demon Lord.
I am willing to be the vanguard to cross the River of Unmindfulness...
and help Demon Lord to conquer Heaven Realm.
Great.
When the flowers bloom, I draw flowers.
When the flowers wither, I draw my own portrait.
When you are here, I draw your portrait.
When you're gone, I draw from my memory.
So, what can we do?
As the moonlight has linked our feelings.
Write a love letter...
Phoenix Flower only blooms for 2 seasons.
It blooms when the destiny comes,
it withers when the destiny ends.
The destiny is doomed to end,
while the flowers are doomed to return to soil.
In the love letter, I found the place where we meet in every life.
There I'll wait for us to watch the setting sun.
In the love letter, I found the place where we love in every life.
There I'll sing...
Old man.
Miss, you are here again.
You walk so quickly and seem to be fine now.
Miss, why don't you let it go...
and treasure the one who's with you right now?
It might sound ridiculous,
but sometimes, the person right in front of us...
might not be the one we love.
After I killed him with my own hands, I only realised that...
he is the person that I have always loved.
Since you're so persistent,
I will be frank.
Phoenix is an immortal bird.
He is born with 7 spiritual and 8 physical souls.
The extra physical soul is used for Nirvana.
If you can find his remaining physical soul...
and use Supreme Lord Lao's Nine Spins Reviving Elixir,
he might have a chance to revive.
Is that true?
However, the elixir can only be produced every 10,000 years.
I'm afraid this matter will not go smoothly.
It doesn't matter.
As long as there is a hope, I will never give up.
I shall leave now.
Please take care of yourself, old man.
"Dou Shuai Palace"
Water Immortal, you've come all the way here,
is there anything that I can help?
I heard that the elixirs refined by Supreme Lord Lao...
are treasures in Heaven Realm.
It turns rotten skin into fresh skin,
it can also gather up the physical souls.
Also, I heard that Supreme Lord Lao...
has refined 3 Nine Spins Reviving Elixirs.
They can be used to revive an immortal's soul and extend one's life.
This elixir is not as miraculous as you said.
It's just a rumour and overstatement of the people.
You should know that an immortal has 7 spiritual and physical souls.
It makes 49 Heavenly Circuits in total.
If he has one spiritual soul and one physical soul left...
or his physical body is still here,
then it will only bring certain effects after taking my elixir.
Are you asking for this elixir to revive the late Water Immortal?
To be honest,
late Water Immortal's spirits and physical body have perished.
It is beyond resurrection even if you use my elixir pill.
My father passed away a long time ago.
I never expect him to come back to life.
Actually, I'm using it for another purpose.
I hope you can give the elixir pill to me.
I will not hesitate to go through the fire...
if you need my help in the future.
Water Immortal, I'm afraid you will not be able to fulfill your wish.
I've been refining the Nine Spins Reviving Elixir for over 20,000 years.
But I'm still short of a guiding medicine now.
I'm afraid I will never get it.
Lord Lao, which medicine is it?
It is Light of Xuan Qiong of the Supreme Immortal, Lian Chao.
Then, I will look for it.
Lian Chao has already perished.
The Light of Xuan Qiong no longer exists in this world.
Your Majesty.
It survives as expected.
That's right.
When Your Majesty went to Demon Realm to capture Qiong Qi,
the late Heavenly Emperor did not sentence this beast to perishment,
but he ordered me to go to Supreme Clarity Heaven in secret...
to put 12 seals on it.
I hope Your Majesty could guide me...
on what to do to this beast.
Put it in Sheng Jing Court first.
Yes.
Mi Er.
You are back.
It's late now,
shouldn't you be resting now?
How could I sleep well when you have not returned yet?
I've told you,
you can just call me Fish Fairy as usual.
That name was only a joke when I was young and naive.
You are the Heavenly Emperor now.
It seems inappropriate to call you that name.
I heard that you've gone to Dou Shuai Palace today...
to ask for an elixir from the Supreme Lord Lao.
That's right. I was just loitering around.
Why did you ask for Nine Spins Reviving Elixir?
My life is full of calamities.
Hence, I wanted to get an elixir to protect myself,
in case of an emergency.
It is not a big deal.
You can tell me if you need anything.
All right. I know.
It's late now. You should rest earlier.
I thought I could save Xu Feng.
I never thought that even the God refused to give me the opportunity.
- Are you crying? - No, I'm not.
You are crying. She cries.
Look, look at her. She's crying.
What's going on with you?
- What happened to her? - Why are you so surprised?
You grow old but you never grow wiser.
Well,
it's just a few teardrops of the most ungrateful person in the world.
What's so special about it?
Fox Fairy.
Phoenix is still alive.
Do you know the Supreme Immortal Lian Chao?
Is he no longer alive?
If we have his Light of Xuan Qiong...
maybe there's still hope to save Phoenix.
Lian Chao?
Isn't that Hong Hong and former Heavenly Emperor's older brother?
Is what you said true?
I heard it myself.
It's really such a shame.
My poor elder brother, all his life...
he had been troubled by Tu Yao and her son.
How am I going to make the decision?
Hong Hong, what do you mean?
Actually,
my eldest brother is still alive.
Nonsense!
Liu Ying, when will you grow up?
Are you really going to throw away your life for King of Gucheng?
Father, Heaven Realm has gone too far.
I really can't take it anymore.
You are always so reckless.
Do you think that six realms are like our home...
where everyone tolerates and protects you?
Do you know what is involved in Heaven against Demon battle?
I know! You die or I die!
You die or I die?
That means plunging the people into destruction.
Do you really want to see all your brothers in Demon tribe...
die in this meaningless battle?
Even if we die, we can't break Demon tribe's pride.
Only you have pride?
All these years, I've swallowed humiliation and borne the burden,
maintained both realm's relationship...
and all will be destroyed.
Also, this battle will ruin...
the peace that has been built for so many years in Demon Realm.
Liu Ying, you have greatly disappointed me.
Swallowing humiliation and bearing the burden? You were just too weak!
Lian Chao is still alive?
Didn't he die in the Heaven against Demon battle?
No matter what, Lian Chao is still our eldest brother.
Back then, he fell into the River of Unmindfulness,
everyone thought that he was dead.
Actually,
he was just badly injured.
It was me that secretly kept him hidden.
Passing him prowess for thousand years...
to help him wake up.
I didn't know there's such a huge secret.
Supreme Lord Lao told me that,
if we can find Lian Chao and get the Light of Xuan Qiong from him,
it can be made into the Nine Spins Reviving Elixir.
We can save Phoenix then.
I know, I understand that right now is too sudden to...
ask Fox Fairy's older brother to give us this precious thing.
It's not right indeed but as long as it can save Phoenix,
I'm willing to do anything.
Even if he wants my spirit, I'm willing to give it to him.
Would you really do anything for Xu Feng?
If I can't save Phoenix,
find back my love,
what's the point in having a body that's just a shell?
Little one, what nonsense are you talking about?
What love? Love what? How would you know what love is?
It's not possible for you to fall in love with anyone.
You had the Yun Elixir when you were born,
it's fated that in your whole life, you won't know the feeling of love.
- Yun Elixir? - Right... What...
What's Yun Elixir?
Hong Hong, you are really getting old, your hearing has gone bad.
Even if my ears have gone deaf,
but with your loud voice, I heard everything clearly.
- What loud voice? - Spit it out!
What is Yun Elixir?
- Will not know the feeling of love? - No, no...
The Yun Elixir had already disappeared when Phoenix died.
Little one!
What?
Disappeared?
Who told you? Which chief told you about it?
This is a huge sin!
The late Flora Immortal's effort has been wasted.
Tell me quickly, what is Yun Elixir?
If you don't then I'll release the rabbits to bite you.
One rabbit... One rabbit can hold out against ten thousand,
ten thousands of rabbits surging forward!
Don't say it anymore! Don't say it anymore!
I'll... I'll tell you.
Speak!
I...
only...
I only heard it from the corner,
it wasn't clear, it wasn't clear.
Back then,
the late Flora Immortal was in love with the late Heavenly Emperor.
The current Heavenly Emperor is bullying us.
Why can't we have a battle against the Heaven Realm?
My father always shrinks back, when will he stand up?
Did you argue with your father?
You shouldn't have an argument with your father.
In this world,
who cares about you more than him?
It's obvious that King of Gucheng is using you...
that's why he wants you to go.
Your father doesn't want you to go,
do you think that he's just forbearing against the Heaven Realm?
He said that I've disappointed him.
When someone is angry,
they can't help but say something mean.
Think about it.
Have you never said something mean that's against your heart?
I've said it to you the most.
Have a peach,
calm down and go visit your father later.
Who knew?
Who knew that this Yun Elixir couldn't stop this romance from happening.
You still fell in love with him.
You love him so much that even the Yun Elixir broke apart and disappeared.
Mortals have Numerology but even immortals have it too,
it's all fated.
I, Moon Immortal controls marriages and romances...
for tens of thousands of years.
I've never heard of such denying item.
Indeed have never heard of.
No wonder,
she used to look like a person who doesn't know romance.
Just that,
pity Xu Feng,
died with no reasons.
It's fine, it's fine.
I'll accompany you this time.
Regarding my brother Lian Chao,
whether he's willing to give you his Light of Xuan Qiong or not,
it'll be up to fate.
Thank you, Fox Fairy.
Then... do you know...
where is Lian Chao Immortal now?
He's at the summit of Snake Mountain of Yi Miao Continent.
- Mi Er! - Pu Chi?
You...
- Move away. - You...
Why are you blocking me?
Mi Er, so you are back to Flora Realm.
No wonder, I went to Heaven Realm to look for you but couldn't find you.
Have you decided to leave the Heavenly Emperor and come to me instead?
Yan You,
right now Mi Er is in love with Xu Feng,
stop messing around with her.
Phoenix is already dead, isn't he?
Xu Feng right now might still have a slight chance to survive.
Whether he can come back to life or not,
it'll depend on our trip to Snake Mountain.
I feel like I've missed out many stories here.
I'll tell you about it in details next time, okay?
Right now I'll have to go to Snake Mountain with Fox Fairy.
That dangerous place that even...
immortals and demons don't dare to enter?
What if you got hurt when you go by yourself?
No way! I'm going with you all.
I want to go too.
With so little prowess you have, you better not come with us.
You are going to leave me alone again.
This... this is not fair.
"Snake Mountain"
This is Snake Mountain.
This place doesn't just suppress your prowess...
but even normal magic can't be summoned here.
Don't even think about summoning to fly.
This small road,
is the only road that heads to Snake Mountain.
Cannot summon magic? We are climbing up like that?
I worry that both my legs would be crippled.
Not to mention, this road...
has different kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts.
Beauty, are you really going?
If you are afraid then wait for us here.
You must be joking Moon Immortal.
The purpose for me to be here is to protect Jin Mi.
Escaping is not an option.
What are you saying?
Water Immortal has entered Snake Mountain?
Did you see it clearly?
I've seen it clearly.
Why is Water Immortal going to Snake Mountain?
Heavenly Emperor treasures Water Immortal very much.
We have to report this to Heavenly Emperor immediately.
You, follow me to Heaven Realm.
Yes.
Be careful.
Based on what I know,
this Snake Mountain has many poisonous insects,
it's very dangerous.
You all don't have to worry,
I'm the prince of snakes, I just need to wiggle my finger,
I guarantee they will not dare to act rashly.
My elder brother Lian Chao doesn't like to be close to people.
After he was resurrected, he's been hiding here.
All these years,
anyone who wants to go to Snake Mountain,
doesn't matter if it's an immortal or demon...
they will be killed by a snake bite.
That's why no one knew about my elder brother being alive.
The past between...
the dethroned Heavenly Empress, late Heavenly Emperor and his brother...
has been told by others for many years.
In the six realms, there are different versions of it that have been spread.
Each of it is as interesting and bizarre.
I wonder if you knew about the truth?
I was really young back then,
I didn't have any understanding of love.
I really don't know what happened between the 3 of them.
What a shame.
If not with this story,
I'll make it a big hit story in all six realms for sure.
Be careful!
Didn't you say that by wiggling your finger,
they will stop acting rashly?
I didn't think that my prowess would be so restricted here.
No worries, I still have another way.
All these snakes are intelligent.
I'm afraid that they won't be easy to deal with.
Do you have any better ideas?
I tied red strings on them,
so that they'll be busy with other stuff.
Amazing! Clever move! Admirable!
Don't delay, let's go!
Moon Immortal, put out your red strings!
Red... red strings are finished!
The only way left is to fight them!
Today I will show them how great prince of snakes is.
Want to bite me?
No matter what,
I have to reach the summit.
Do you feel that Jin Mi has changed?
She has grown up!
Yan You, what's wrong with your butt?
Are you hurt?
It's fine, I was only bitten by the small snakes.
It must be a female snake that envies my handsome snake body.
But all these snakes are poisonous.
It's fine, my true form is a snake.
The poison won't hurt me.
Mi Er, are you hurt?
Sit down!
Mi Er, what's wrong?
I'm fine.
I'm afraid that I've been bitten by a snake just now.
Let me have a look.
This...
This is bad.
The poison of the snake will react rapidly to an immortal's prowess.
What... what should we do?
Before reaching the summit,
I will not let anything happen to me.
Mi Er.
- It's fine, I'm fine. - Mi Er.
- Let's go. - Mi Er.
But there's still a long walk ahead.
I'll carry you.
I can walk on my own.
Ever since Phoenix died,
no matter how I tease her,
she never smiles anymore.
Looks like she's really heartbroken.
She brought it on herself.
His Majesty,
Leader Yin Que is here to see you.
Greetings, Heavenly Emperor.
Kuang Lu,
you can go first.
Leader Yin Que, you look like you are in a hurry,
I wonder why you came.
My man saw Water Immortal went to the Snake Mountain today.
Snake Mountain?
Snake Mountain is a dangerous place...
that's filled with poisonous spiritual snakes.
Also, after entering it, one's prowess will be restricted.
Both immortals and demons stay away from it.
I don't know why Water Immortal would enter Snake Mountain.
I worry that she'll be in trouble,
that's why I came here to let you know.
Did the Water Immortal go to the Snake Mountain alone?
Replying to your Majesty,
there were two men that went to the Snake Mountain with her.
One was wearing green and the other has red strings all over him.
I didn't see their faces clearly.
I understand, you all can head back.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Jin Mi,
are you really going to throw away your life for him?
Jin Mi, why not let me carry you?
There's no need to.
I can do it on my own.
Phoenix, doesn't matter where you are, I will save you.
We have finally reached the summit.
The summit Snake Mountain has a great view.
Looks like Immortal Lian Chao has great taste.
Mi Er, it's over there.
Okay.
Who is it?
Brother!
Dan Zhu,
why are you here?
This is what happened,
Tai Wei has perished,
Tu Yao is imprisoned.
I'm here because of Tai Wei's son, Xu Feng.
Immortal,
if you are willing to give us the Light of Xuan Qiong to save Xu Feng,
I'm...
I'm willing to give you everything I have.
Tu Yao,
after all these years,
I never thought that we would still have this kind of entanglement.
Lian Chao!
Where are you?
You keep ditching Master's class,
I'll have to tell the Heavenly Emperor sooner or later.
Go ahead then.
Go ahead and complain to my father and...
I'll complain to your father.
Lian Chao! Come out!
What do you have on me to use to complain about me?
You don't want to be married.
Is that enough proof?
Lately, all the weirdos that came to ask for your hand in marriage...
could almost flatten your doorway.
You are still so picky...
and go out every day,
if your father knows about it...
I don't believe that it's the parent's decision on whom to marry.
If I'm getting married, I have to marry someone I like.
- I, Tu Yao... - I, Tu Yao...
am the only decedent of phoenix tribe in all six realms.
If I'm getting married, I'll have to marry the best.
Okay, be picky then.
Be so picky until all your phoenix feather falls off...
and yet unable to pick your other half.
I'll force myself to marry you then.
You wish.
Not to mention that my magical prowess is stronger than you now...
but even Tai Wei is almost catching up to you.
If you keep being like this,
how are you going to take over the Heavenly Emperor position?
Silly phoenix, what's the use of having high magical prowess?
My father has high magical prowess...
but he'll never win over my mother in a fight.
You still lack drive.
Give it to me! Give it to me!
Why not give it to me?
Huan Di Phoenix Feather is the phoenix's tribe most important item.
If you can get the most gorgeous thing in the world,
then I'll give this to you.
You deliberately make things difficult for me.
You knew that I'm born colour blind.
However, since you want it,
I will give it to you.
Okay, it's a deal.
I heard that the King of Yancheng in Demon Realm has really strong prowess,
you'll have to be careful going into battle.
Are you that worried for me?
Even in normal days,
you would lose to me in a sword fight,
of course I'll be worried.
Be at ease,
I'll win this battle for you.
So that you won't look down on me anymore.
Boast about it when you are finally back from winning the battle.
In the battle of Heaven against Demons,
I nearly lost my life at the River of Unmindfulness.
I would have never thought that...
for the Heavenly Emperor's position, Tai Wei...
colluded with King of Gucheng to kill me.
After Dan Zhu saved me,
I've been in a coma for many years.
When I woke up, Tu Yao was already the Heavenly Empress.
I'm back.
You are still alive.
You married Tai Wei.
Do you know that he colluded with King of Gucheng to kill me?
To get the throne,
he dared to kill his own brother.
He's not loyal, not righteous and heartless.
You've been clouded by him.
Leave with me.
We can find a peaceful place near mountain and river.
Just the both of us,
living our lives free and unfettered.
I thought that you were dead.
Just when I was at my most despair,
Tai Wei gave me warmth,
he even crowned me as Heavenly Empress.
Right now, I already have his child.
Child?
Are you happy?
I'm the Heavenly Empress,
I have everything I wanted,
of course I'm happy.
Lian Chao,
I've betrayed you.
It's the Heaven's will,
as long as you are happy.
You hide away at the Snake Mountain to fulfill Tu Yao's happiness?
Ill-fated relationship.
What an ill-fated relationship.
You said that my Light of Xuan Qiong...
could save Xu Feng's life?
Immortal,
after knowing the past you had,
I know to have you...
giving us your Light of Xuan Qiong to save Xu Feng...
is indeed unfair for you.
But if you can,
I'm willing to give everything in exchange for it.
