Episode 18 recap: Praying for the departure from the Clear Sky Sea and the encounter this morning, everyone is preparing to destroy the main altar of the Qiyuan Sect.
It turns out that Su Xuan's mother was the former queen, Ling Ye, and Zhu Yu is currently using Ling Ye's body. Hundreds of years ago, the Yu Clan lived in the depths of the North Sea. At that time, Queen Ling Ye found a warm and pleasant dwelling in the North Sea and led all the clan members to settle here. Later, the Clear Sky Sea prospered and became a gem of the North Sea.
However, the Clear Sky Sea was built on the back of a Kun. The Kun was born from the sea and absorbed power to break through the sea and ascend. On the day when the Kun broke through the sea and ascended, the Clear Sky Sea, built on the Kun's back, immediately faced collapse. Queen Ling Ye used her last bit of power to stop the Kun's ascension using meditation techniques. Later, the Kun took on the form of Ling Ye's body and helped the struggling Yu Clan heal, while Ling Ye herself relied on the Qiyuan Pearl for support.
Su Xuan persuades Praying that since Praying is the young prince of the Yu Clan, she should stay and help Zhu Yu. Praying goes to find Zhu Yu and understands the hardships her mother went through. However, when Zhu Yu tries to persuade her to stay, Praying says that Su Xuan is more suitable to be the young prince because she doesn't understand the responsibilities she mentioned, and she can only help her mother better by going out.
Zhu Yu understands that her daughter has grown up. She tells Praying that she can choose to stay or leave, and Praying accepts the token her mother gives her, bidding farewell to her mother. Ming Xiu has been staying indoors on her birthday, worrying Ju Shi Fang and Luo Zhao Yan. When Gu Han Jiang arrives, he gives Ju Shi Fang a silver ingot and then breaks into the house directly.
Seeing her master personally coming to accompany her on her birthday, Ming Xiu is filled with joy, so everyone goes out together to stroll around the streets. Yue Jin Zhao catches a glimpse of Praying's figure and hurries over. Xian Qing and Gu Han Jiang drink together, Luo Zhao Yan and Ming Xiu come together, and Xian Qing and Luo Zhao Yan meet, both feeling uncontrollable joy in their hearts.
Yue Jin Zhao searches and finally sees Praying's figure among the bustling crowd. The two lock eyes and run towards each other, tightly embracing. Praying immediately tells Today that their feelings are not fake and that there is no illusion involved.
After everyone gathers, they all bring out the gifts prepared for Ming Xiu. Ming Xiu blames Xian Qing for telling everyone and says that it's not an important day. However, Gu Han Jiang earnestly says that he thinks today is important. When it comes to making wishes to the moon, everyone expresses their wishes, and Xian Qing and Gu Han Jiang tease each other, subtly indicating their own feelings.
Today takes Praying to release river lanterns and asks Praying to promise that from now on, they will never be apart.
Praying cheerfully declares that whoever breaks the agreement will be a small dog. Ju Shi Fang, who has had too much to drink, repeatedly calls for Su Xuan. Ming Xiu and Gu Han Jiang sit and talk, and Gu Han Jiang reminisces about Ming Xiu's childhood. After drinking a lot, Ming Xiu grabs Gu Han Jiang's hand and falls asleep while hugging him.
On the other side of the street, Luo Zhao Yan and Xian Qing also drink and gaze at the moon. Xian Qing advises Luo Zhao Yan that she won't accompany her when they attack the main altar, and she reminds Luo Zhao Yan to be careful. Luo Zhao Yan asks where Xian Qing will go next, and they make a promise to meet again and enjoy the scenery on the Bai Ri River.
Gu Han Jiang and Zuo Guan Ren reminisce together. Zuo Guan Ren performs a divination and predicts that the Zhengwu Alliance will face a calamity soon. He advises Gu Han Jiang to be cautious when attacking the Qiyuan Sect's main altar. The leader of the Zhengwu Alliance tells Gu Han Jiang not to worry, but Gu Han Jiang insists on participating in the operation to exterminate the Qiyuan Sect. Yue Jin Zhao takes out Meng Chenghua's map, and everyone discusses the attack plan.
Ming Xiu is puzzled by Gu Han Jiang's involvement in this operation, but Gu Han Jiang only warns her to be careful and doesn't say anything else. Ming Xiu leaves disappointed. In fact, Gu Han Jiang's divination is unfavorable, indicating that something unpredictable may happen, but he doesn't want to worry Ming Xiu by revealing it.
As the operation approaches, the leader of the Zhengwu Alliance leads everyone in taking the oath and sets off. He presents the Silver Phantom Sword to Yue Jin Zhao, a treasured sword once owned by the Sword Saint of Shu Mountain and later passed down to the son of the Demon Lord. Today, he presents this sword to Yue Jin Zhao. Yue Jin Zhao solemnly accepts the sword and vows to gather righteous qi, making a name for himself in the martial world.
At the main altar of the Qiyuan Sect, Gao Xiao, in the name of the Qiyuan Sect's leader, swears allegiance to Ming Zhu. After everyone kneels and worships, each person receives a Qiyuan Pearl and absorbs it into their bodies. Yue Jin Zhao leads Praying and Ju Shi Fang into the underground passage to join forces with the Zhengwu Alliance. Yue Jin Zhao instructs everyone to go left but falls into an ambush set by the Qiyuan Sect.
