Episode 21 recap: Wu Geng passed the test of the Phoenix.
Extremely Vicious and Evil came for help, and Wu Geng said he had a way to alleviate the petrification disease. Inside the Burning Heaven Cave, there is an ancient Protoss item called the Fire Bodhi, which can relieve the pain of the petrification disease. Against the Heavens also promised that if Wu Geng obtained the Fire Bodhi, their tribe would share it with the Extremely Vicious and Evil tribe.
Then, Against the Heavens accompanied Wu Geng to the Burning Heaven Cave. Wu Geng asked A Lan about the Protoss Eye, and A Lan told him that the Protoss Eye was the Grand Elder of the Holy Sage Hall, with a prestigious status and the power to judge the sins of the Protoss. The Protoss Eye's knowledge of the Protoss was unparalleled.
Wu Geng recalled a scene he had seen through his remaining soul consciousness in the Vast Sky and Boundless Sea. He knew that the Protoss Eye had caused harm to the entire Yao clan through the Dawn Flower, and he believed that the Protoss Eye was even more difficult to deal with than Xin Yue Kui. Extremely Vicious and Evil came to the Against the Heavens tribe with his daughter to seek Bai Cai's help in treating her. Wu Geng saw that Xia Qingting suddenly suffered from a severe petrification disease and said that he had a way to cure her.
It turned out that Eternal Night had previously told Wu Geng the six words: "Burning Heaven Cave, Fire Bodhi." The Fire Bodhi is an ancient Protoss item that can alleviate the pain of the petrification disease. Wu Geng asked Extremely Vicious and Evil to send his daughter to Bai Cai first, so that Bai Cai could help relieve Xia Qingting's pain, while he went to the Burning Heaven Cave to obtain the Fire Bodhi.
Seeing his daughter in critical condition, Extremely Vicious and Evil had no choice but to agree to entrust her to the Against the Heavens tribe. Wu Geng also warned Extremely Vicious and Evil that when he retrieved the Fire Bodhi, he would share it with the entire tribe and not enjoy it alone.
The Burning Heaven Cave is a forbidden place for the Yao clan, and Against the Heavens was worried about Wu Geng's safety, so he voluntarily came to help. He summoned his mount, Jialuoluo, and together with Wu Geng, they went to the Burning Heaven Cave. Wu Geng and Against the Heavens arrived at the Burning Heaven Cave, where Wu Geng saw the remains of the ancient Protoss beast, the Undying Phoenix. When Wu Geng touched the remains of the Phoenix, it awakened its Protoss consciousness. The Undying Phoenix learned that the two had entered the forbidden land for the sake of the Fire Bodhi and attacked them. Wu Geng and Against the Heavens fought side by side and broke the test of the Undying Phoenix.
The Undying Phoenix also believed that the person who could lead the army against the Protoss and challenge the Protoss King must be extraordinarily brave. Seeing that Wu Geng and Against the Heavens entrusted their lives to each other and never abandoned each other, just like it and the Xin nation back then. Because Wu Geng was the son of an old friend, the Protoss consciousness of the Undying Phoenix was awakened, and its essence and soul were able to undergo a rebirth through the baptism of fire. The Fire Bodhi, born from the phoenix's rebirth, was bestowed upon Wu Geng.
Against the Heavens asked the most powerful doctor of the Yao clan, Mu Wu Biao, to use the Fire Bodhi to treat Xiao Qingting. However, Mu Wu Biao was unable to summon the energy of the Fire Bodhi. Wu Geng tried to use his Protoss power to summon the Fire Bodhi and ultimately gained its recognition, successfully curing Xiao Qingting's petrification disease.
Extremely Vicious and Evil, seeing his daughter safe and sound, was very grateful for the help of Wu Geng and Bai Cai. He also promised not to compete for the Fire Bodhi. Against the Heavens planned to throw the Fire Bodhi into the volcano of the Ziluo Mountain and channel its power into the volcano, hoping to transmit the entire Protoss power of the Fire Bodhi through the mineral veins. In this way, all the petrified members of the Yao clan would be cured.
Against the Heavens wanted to accomplish this with his own power, but given his physical condition, when the full power of the Fire Bodhi was released, it would also be the moment of his death. Wu Geng learned of Against the Heavens' plan from Dancing with the Wind and rushed to assist him. Against the Heavens stated that Wu Geng had already done a great deed for the Yao clan by obtaining the Fire Bodhi, but Wu Geng expressed that it was also his decision to do things for the sake of the Yao clan's people. The two joined forces to channel the Protoss power into Ziluo Mountain, ultimately saving all the Yao clan's people.
Wu Geng conveyed Dancing with the Wind's intentions to Against the Heavens, who acknowledged that he understood Dancing with the Wind's intentions but felt he was not qualified to respond.
Bai Cai asked Mu Wu Biao if the petrification disease would continue to afflict the Yao clan's people in the future. Mu Wu Biao believed that since the cause of the disease was unknown, it would be best for the Yao clan's people to return to the surface and live there. Bai Cai believed that Wu Geng would definitely lead everyone back to the surface to strive for a new order of freedom and equality.
Wu Geng collapsed from exhaustion, and Against the Heavens brought him back. Bai Cai was worried about Wu Geng's health, but Wu Geng reassured her that he just needed some rest. Bai Cai warned Wu Geng not to leave her again in the future, and Wu Geng promised not to leave Bai Cai. Both cherished the days of peace and freedom.
