Sword of Coming!

Tell Chen Pingan

to lead the way as quickly as possible.

It's right there.

The ancestral graves have grown pistache trees.

This is a sign that a saint will descend from the Chen clan.

I, from the Chen clan of Yingyin

kneel gratefully to the ancestors for their protection.

This boy managed to turn a disaster into a blessing.

The sword scripture inside him has become one with him.

It turns out to be the extreme path of breaking and rebuilding.

You, Li Er, are a smart man.

Just listen to me.

Go meet him.

I really didn't expect

Small Town would hide such a strong man like you.

I, Song Changjing, have fought all my life and killed countless people.

And now there's a good fight that satisfies me.

I have not lived my life in vain!

The Curtain of Night Falls Heavily

Battling the Gods.

Killing geniuses.

Build tall mound gate.

Build tall mound gate.

Build...

He is only twelve years old!

He died by your hands!

You are cruel and ruthless.

T/N: Idiom that literally says a cruel heart and stinging hands, which means a cruel heart with ruthless methods.

Soldier!

T/N: Wufu (武夫) is generally used to call soldier or warriors but it can also mean a brave and strong man.

Tyrant!

T/N: Dufu (独夫) was used to call a helpless man, but it was later used to call a tyrannical monarch.

It is ruthless on the battlefield.

People of the world misunderstand me.

Common people vilify me.

Soldiers hate me.

But such is the way of the Great Tao.

If I don't kill then I will be killed.

That's how it was a thousand years ago.

Thousands of years before a thousands of years ago was also the same.

But...

I am Great Li's

number one warrior.

This is not the aura of the living.

Kill.

What?

That's a lot of force.

You can't win by brute force alone.

A dead man should just lie down obediently.

Come

Song Changjing!

Let me see what Fist Intent you still have left in your foundation.

T/N: He uses an idiom, life is like a white steed passing through a crack .

Life is like a fleeting moment

A true man

will achieve great things that last for all eternity.

T/N: It means to become a hero that will be remembered for all time.

To this end, why care about a single life?

Why care for all living creatures?

Why fear ten thousand adversities?

I, Song Changjing

am Great Li's number one

warrior!

My steel frame

T/N: He uses the pronoun, wu (吾) which is generally used by royalties or royal dukes.

would rather break than bend.

T/N: Idiom used to mean a person would rather die than give in or compromise. In this situation, he will not give up only to suffer humiliation.

My way of the martial Tao

stands proudly before the world!

It looks like

this is my Opportunity.

T/N: I will be using the capitalized form of Opportunity to distinguish it from the ordinary use of opportunity. A lot of viewers still remained confused. Opportunity that keeps on being mentioned through the series is fate, destiny, luck, fortune, chance and opportunity. The studio gave an explanation during the beginning of the ending OST in episode 1.

Thank you, master, for helping me break through.

T/N: He calls him gaoren (高人) which means a very able person; highly skilled or knowledgeable person.

I accept the intentions of

Old Immortal Yang.

In future...

T/N: The character reads "Qi". Same as Qi Jingchun's surname. As for the rest of them they are also the character Qi in various forms of script calligraphy.

Each person chooses one.

Go back and copy it carefully.

I'll examine them after three days.

I want one.

Give one to me.

You took mine.

Give it to me.

I want this one!

I want this one.

Isn’t it just drawing of a small tree?

Give it to me.

You can't take it.

I want this one!

Give it to me.

Teacher Qi, we're leaving now.

Hurry up.

Senior brother.

do you still remember before we came to Cliff Academy

Teacher's parting words for us?

Of course.

Then

what is a person of noble character created from Heaven and Earth?

A person of noble character looks after Heaven and Earth.

T/N: He uses the world li (理) which can also mean to govern; rule, manage and care.

Heaven and Earth create and cultivate a person of noble character.

A person of noble character

then shall look after Heaven and Earth.

The what of

learning cannot be stopped.

T/N: The following few lines are from Xunzi: Encouragement to Study. "The person of novel character said: Learning cannot be stopped. Green is derived from blue, but it is bluer than blue; ice is made of water, but it is colder than water." Green is often used in place of blue or azure. Which is why he said more blue than blue. Basically it means the first line, a person with moral integrity and knowledge should not never stop learning and learning is endless.

Green comes from blue

and bluer than blue.

There is no end to learning.

Improve and broaden your own learning

based on your predecessors.

A student will surpass the teacher.

If that's the case

why are you still acting recklessly?

You are determined to give up a century of cultivation and a

thousand years of the Great Tao for Small Town with only five or six thousand people.

You are the Qi Jingchun!

Teacher's most valued disciple.

The scholar who is expected to establish a school and and become its founder!

Heaven and earth creates a person of noble character.

Confucianism Hall

A gentleman regulates the world

Gentleman

All living beings are equal.

No one should decide the life and death of others on a whim.

Not to mention we are talking about the reincarnation of six thousand people.

What all living beings are equal?

Have you forgotten what Teacher said about nobility and inferiority?

Teacher was naturally very knowledgeable.

But his principle of Tao

might not necessarily be correct.

Etiquette

is used to correct oneself!

A person of noble character adapts to the changes of the times.

Stretches when necessary and bends when necessary.

Junior brother.

Since it has come to this

I'll entrust the children of

the academy to you.

Cliff Academy will need to move to Great Sui Dynasty.

Although Great Sui and Great Li

are neighboring countries.

They are still far from one another.

A war is imminent.

This journey will bring more danger than fortune.

Take great care of yourself.

Teacher.

Can there be a true natural order of the world?

T/N: Tianjingdiyi (天经地义) means the truth between heaven and earth that is natural and cannot be changed, things that are taken for granted, and natural justice.

How would I go about not being disappointed in this world?

Did you bring Chen Dui into the mountains?

You probably know everything already.

I'll be leaving with her.

Soon after

I'll be leaving East Aquarius Continent.

At least

wait until your injury is almost healed before leaving.

I know you worry about me.

I worry about you too.

It's good that

you can take care of me here.

What will I do when I leave Small Town?

But then I realized

that I've already died before.

What's there to be afraid of?

Forget it, forget it.

Let’s not talk about it anymore.

How is Song Changjing?

He's alright.

It's just

his foundation is worse than mine.

Why did he break through before me?

You, Li Er, broke through

wasn't because of life and death situation.

Master.

Look at me, I'm no worse than senior brother.

Is there any chance

for my Opportunity to change?

Take Fu Nanhua with you

and go to Old Dragon City.

Remember.

Even if you die, never reveal your origins.

Master.

Take care of yourself.

Master.

The way you treat junior brother is too...

Too heartless?

Although junior brother doesn't appear proper all day long.

But he cares for you wholeheartedly.

In any case, he is a rootless duckweed.

T/N: The reference to duckweed comes from the idiom; a floating duckweed has no roots but can still continue to develop its own. It means although people have shortcomings, they can still play to their strengths.

Is dying in some place not the same as still dying?

You should also take that shrew of yours with you.

In East Aquarius Continent, you have

no hope of breaking through in this lifetime.

Son or daughter

you can bring one away.

The other one will be sent to Cliff Academy.

Then, Master, afterwards you will...

What else can I do?

Just waiting to die.

Since I've made you River Grandmother

you will be responsible for the affairs of the river.

Why the hell did you come back here?

Great Immortal.

I want to see more of my grandson.

Don't be unsatisfied!

Is it because of my grandson that

Great Immortal is willing to protect me?

If that is the case

why did Great Immortal allow True Martial Mountain to take my Ma Kuxuan away?

Why not nurture him yourself?

Great Immortal.

My grandson...

Great Immortal, please calm down.

I misspoke.

I misspoke.

Although in my eyes there

is no difference between good and bad.

No difference between right and wrong.

I don't measure your virtue in this way.

But it doesn't mean

I like what you have done.

In the past, I couldn't be bothered bicker with you.

But in future

even if I turn you into ashes

it will only take a single thought.

Don't be given an inch only to take a mile.

Go now.

Keep an eye on any movement on Covered Bridge.

Understood.

The sky is changing again.

Gods and immortals fight.

Mortals encounter troubles and difficulties.

Aren’t people from the Literary Saint lineage very smart?

Why do you do such stupid things?

Who knows?

I never understood their crap Great Tao!

I don't understand!

If you old farts who only know how to hide in your turtle shells could understand.

wouldn’t you all become saints?

Healing the world with medicine

Bringing the dead back to life with miracle hands.

Cliff Academy's Qi Jingchun

greets Old Mister Yang.

A rare visitor.

I figured Chen Pingan will come soon.

I'll wait for him.

I'm mainly here to visit Old Mister Yang.

A storm is coming.

It can be very frustrating.

The first day you came here to take over

I could see that you not an easily satisfied person.

T/N: The words, budezhi (不得志) refers to the inability to realize one's ambition or satisfy one's desire.

But in all these years, I haven’t heard a single word of complaint from you.

It's such a strange thing.

You don't seem like the kind of person who would just let things go.

T/N: Tuo mian zi gan (唾面自干) means to let someone spit on your face and not wipe it off. It describes a person who accepts insults and does not care about them.

I do have complaints.

A stomach full of them.

I just didn't say them out loud.

I don't know what you're capable of.

But your teacher

just from having the guts to say those four words

counts for this in my eyes.

T/N: In the novel Old Man Yang gave a thumbs up.

Old Mister Yang actually has great knowledge.

I'm not a scholar.

Even if your teacher's knowledge is greater than that of the Great Saint

I will not say a good word about him.

Does Old Mister Yang believe that my teacher's assertion

that "human nature is inherently evil" is correct?

I don't believe it is correct.

It's just that these well-dressed people in the

world make me annoyed.

So when someone comes out to play devil’s advocate, I feel relieved.

That's all it is.

There's no need for any polite words.

I don't like to hear them.

We are not passers-by.

Besides, you

Qi Jingchun, are now like a rat crossing the street that everyone is calling out to beat you.

I wouldn't dare become friends with you.

Teacher Qi.

Mmh.

Old Mister Yang.

I would like to know

if the method that treated me can

also be used to treat Liu Xianyang?

He is very weak right now.

That's none of my damn business.

If you need gold essence and copper coins

I still have some.

Stop worrying about it.

We're closed today.

You two can leave.

Come walk with me.

I had nothing else to do

so I used the snake gall stones you gave me to carve two personal seals.

One uses the clerical script and the other uses small seal script.

I'm giving them to you.

Remember to keep them safe.

In future, when you see a painting or calligraphy you like

such as a landscape painting that you think is impressive

you can take out the seal and press on it.

Alright.

Remember well.

A person of noble character can be deceived by his own methods

Those old farts from the Confucian Temple must have something wrong with their brains.

It's obvious that someone is targeting Cliff Academy and Qi Jingchun.

They are still sitting on the sidelines and watching.

T/N: It refers to idols made of clay or carved from wood; it is used to describe people with dull expressions and actions. He is saying those old farts believe they are above everyone else and should be worshipped, but they are like Buddhist statues, they have no life or emotion.

They really believe they are already dead objects made out of clay and wood?

Wind Arises Water Rises

T/N: It is a metaphor for things being done particularly well, developing particularly fast in a certain period of time, and growing rapidly.

Senior is really unwilling to give it a try?

I know what Senior's answer is.

It looks like

we're both disappointed with the world.

Liu Xianyang has left.

Liu Xianyang!

Liu Xianyang!

Liu Xianyang!

My name is Liu Xianyang.

I will take care of you from now on.

In future

I will definitely go out and have a look.

Drink the best wine.

Ride the fastest horse.

I know you worry about me.

I worry about you too.

Liu Xianyang.

Aren't you a money-crazy person who only sees money?

Why are you being so generous?

You are giving away all your belongings.

Teacher Qi.

A rare customer, a rare customer.

You can sit upstairs.

They are coming.

They are coming!

They are coming.

Don't be afraid.

Even if the sky falls, my uncle is still here.

Even if it's him

he won't be able to bear it either.

A person of noble character can be deceived by his own methods Even a gentleman with noble character, integrity and selflessness, can be deceived and exploited by people with ulterior motives because he is too principled and upright

Next episode preview

I've looked at it carefully already.

It is indeed an ordinary hairpin.

I thought it was a small Grotto Heaven.

Legend has it,Taoist ancestors had a Lotus Grotto Heaven.

Just a lotus leaf inside

is bigger than your Great Li.

Teacher Qi!

Qi Jingchun!

You are presumptuous!

Small Town's three thousand years of Heaven Tao's retribution.

I, Qi Jingchun, will carry it on my shoulders!

You go against the Great Tao!

You are overestimating your own abilities!

I'll play with you first.

Teacher Qi!

Is that you?

Chen Pingan.

Quickly stop right there.

You are a mortal.

This is not an opportunity you can bear.

Chen Pingan.

Just keep going.

The Great Tao is right at your feet.

Go.

The world has me, Qi Jingchun!

The world is happy!

I am also

happy!

Sword of Coming!

The moon is setting and the river is wrinkling with autumn waves

The ship is full of pure dreams, pressing down the river of stars

But only night sparrows has no one to sad songs to sing with

Carving a zither out of a tungoil tree and watching the mountain scenery

Suddenly I hear a long song

The raincoat is soaked with dew, and the fisherman and woodcutter are returning at night

Playing music amongst the green mountains and the river

I know the joy of the mountains and the river

No one knows my joy when I play the zither for others

It is magnificent and majestic

Guests visits and laughs at me

Sounds of all my thoughts can be gained by all

I am left with the bright moon to recall the past

Warming wine and meeting a soulmate

Wonder how many people in the world understand me

The three-foot-long jade zither shatters into pieces

It's like a broken string that breaks my heart

I'm all alone in the vast world under the sky
