[Fate Chooses You]

[Episode 30]

Go!

I can walk by myself.

Kneel down!

Behave yourself.

Look at where you are!

Where?

What a huge cesspit.

With so many of you here,

are you lining up to use the latrine?

Slap his face.

Let's see if you still dare to behave insolently.

This man is Lin Muhan,

the Young Sect Master of Lingji Mountain.

A few days ago,

he and a group of immortal sect thugs

hunted down another group of human scum

who acted in the name of the false god

and committed evil deeds,

burning the ancient books

stored in the Sihe Library of our sect,

causing a thousand years of heritage to be destroyed in a fire.

By all rights,

he should be executed.

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

Presumably,

some people have experienced

all the injustices in this world.

The goals we strive for

all our lives

are merely the starting point for those immortals.

Just because they have noble bloodlines

and extraordinary backgrounds,

they are born with everything.

Without immortal perception, one cannot cultivate.

That is an insurmountable gap

separating mortals and immortals.

Why are they born with everything,

while we are not?

Unfair!

Unfair!

Unfair!

You said the cultivators

were cruel and ruthless,

not treating you as human beings,

and taking whatever they wanted from your Wang family.

Yes.

These damn cultivators

have made our Wang family suffer so much.

Whenever I think of the tragic deaths of my father and brothers,

I wish I could eat them alive

or tear them apart.

If right now,

there is a chance

right in front of you,

granting you a kind

of immortal perception for cultivation

as well as immense power,

dare you fight the immortal sects?

It's what I seek,

and I will never regret it until death.

Good.

I will grant your wish today.

Lingji Mountain

Young Sect Master's immortal perception

will be yours,

paving a path for you

to change your fate and seek revenge.

Go

and use this knife

to dig out his immortal perception.

Young Sect Master Lin,

may you rest in peace.

I will make good use of your immortal perception.

And by the way,

I will take care of your father.

It's a pity my father is a neat freak.

He never gets along with nasty beasts.

And he didn't

have an affair with your mother.

I'm afraid he won't like

a lowlife like you.

I will take care

of my father myself.

May you not rest in peace.

If there is a next life,

I will kill you again.

Surrender now,

and maybe you can survive.

He actually got it right.

What a jinx.

Who are you talking about?

I'll take my leave.

See you around.

Be careful.

You have very likely been discovered.

You disobeyed him time and again.

He couldn't have missed it.

Do you need help?

No need.

I can handle it myself.

The Master raised you single-handedly,

treating you as his own.

He not only gave you wealth and glory

but also allowed you to hold

the position of Vajra in the sect.

Yet you betrayed the Master

and the Holy Sect!

Never mind.

I have nothing to say to a fool like you.

You wouldn't understand even if I told you.

Come on.

Let's do it directly.

A mere cultivator at Foundation Establishment Stage like you

dares to fight me?

Who told you

that I am just a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

You're

at Nascent Soul Stage?

How is it?

It's fine now.

I'm done, too.

Then let's go.

The carrier of heaven

creates something out of nothing;

movement and stillness without cause;

Yin and Yang without beginning.

Open!

I,

Lin Muhan,

am the 5th-generation direct disciple of Lingji Mountain.

Who dares to challenge me?

Kill him!

Junior Jiang,

why are you here?

Where is Senior Bai being held?

Take this.

Where is Senior Bai locked up?

That man was caught, too?

I didn't see him.

I have sent a message to our sect.

Reinforcements will arrive soon.

If you want to survive,

let us go immediately.

Not to mention that they can't come,

even if they do,

they will end up dying with regrets.

One is at Foundation Establishment.

One is at Golden Core.

Both have top-grade immortal perception,

and both are Heavenly Talents of their immortal sects.

I wonder

which lucky dog will benefit

from their immortal perception we dig out today.

Lu Qianqiao,

if you still don't show yourself,

I'm going to make my move.

You knew I would come.

You are just a righteous, merciful,

and stubborn fool who can't make choices.

That girl

who made a blood pact with you

must be someone extremely important to you.

Since she is here,

there's no way you're not coming.

You really know me well.

Fan,

long time no see.

Senior Bai?

Senior Bai!

Xin Mei.

Hurry.

Kill me.

What's wrong with you?

His immortal perception was dug out.

Senior Sister,

we have to go.

Leave me alone.

Just go.

I can't survive.

It's not only cultivators

who deserve to live.

Come with me.

You recalled it?

Yes,

I recalled everything.

Some things

can be avoided for a while,

but not for a lifetime.

Even if you don't want to face them,

there will always be a day

you have to face them.

Like birth, aging, illness, and death.

Like the impermanence of the world.

Like

you and me.

So pessimistic.

I still miss

our old days.

You miss them?

Of course.

At that time, my family was in poverty.

My father was

a terrible gambler.

When I was 7 or 8,

he sold me.

After being passed around several times,

I ended up

being brought by that woman.

She took me to Liubo Temple.

At first, I was very happy.

I thought

I had finally lucked out

and entered the immortal sect

to be a person of high status

and trample those

who used to look down on me

and bully me.

What a pity.

I was born without immortal perception

and couldn't cultivate.

I could only do some chores

in the Liubo Temple, like carrying water,

washing clothes, and cooking.

How old were you when you first came

to the Liubo Temple?

I remember

you were only this tall.

I was a little taller than you.

You were a warm-hearted person.

You taught me to read, write,

play chess,

and draw.

As for me,

I cooked for you.

You couldn't tell whether it tasted good or not.

But I still felt

we were friends.

But today,

is this how

you treat me as a friend?

What?

Have I ever hurt your heart?

Did you kill the people

of the Bishui Branch or not?

Was the Sihe Library

destroyed because of you or not?

You were injured,

and I went to save you,

but you bit the hand that fed you

and killed my sect members!

I won't hold any of these against you.

I just want to ask you one question.

What are you up to

at the altar today?

It's been years since we last met.

You are more eloquent than before.

It's been so many years,

yet you are still so stupid.

I heard that the Qinghong Sect

was established during the war.

Some scholars

took it as their duty to protect ancient books

and committed themselves to resisting

the immortal sects' erosion and destruction

of human civilization.

Later,

more and more ordinary people

who hated the immortal sects joined,

gradually embarking on a path of faith

to resist the oppression of the immortal sects

and maintain the heritage

of the Human Race.

The affairs of the Qinghong Sect

have nothing to do with you.

But you used the secret technique of the Liubo Temple

to win over the sect members.

This has something to do with me.

Back then, Master failed to break through for a long time

and could only raise her realm

by seizing

others' immortal perception.

At that time,

both you and I felt pity

for those killed cultivators.

But I didn't expect

that after so many years,

you'd have become someone just like her.

This is the only way

for us ordinary people without immortal perception

to gain power.

So,

just like everyone else

in the Qinghong Sect,

you hate the immortal sects extremely,

right?

Cut the crap!

And don't think

just because you're our master's old acquaintance,

you can spout nonsense here!

If you disrespect our master,

we'll still kill you!

Do you have any more Yangyuan Pills?

Yes, of course.

Tell everyone

what this is

and what effects it has.

Listen carefully, you all.

This is our immortal sects'

secret medicine, the Yangyuan Pill.

It can heal wounds, stop pain,

restore vitality,

and make spiritual power surge.

We usually use this medicine

to heal wounds, stop bleeding,

improve spiritual power,

aid cultivation, and break through realms.

In critical moments,

it can even save your life.

Do these effects

sound familiar?

Does this share

the same origin as your Phoenix God's golden liquid

that changes your fate?

You...

Don't talk nonsense!

Am I talking nonsense?

Fan,

do you want to tell everyone

which immortal sect is

behind you?

I really underestimated you.

The Master used the Secret Nine Breaths Technique

to seal your acupoints.

How did you escape?

Stop guessing.

You couldn't figure it out

with your thick skull.

You really want to die.

Kill them!

In the disguise of rebelling against the immortal sects,

you use these commoners to work

and risk their lives for you.

You also utilized the Sihe Library and Wushuang Society

to lure immortal sect disciples to North Xiang,

snatch their immortal perception,

and turn it into Phoenix God's golden liquid

for your own cultivation.

Then you dilute it into Yangyuan Pills

to give to the immortal sect members behind you,

helping them amass wealth,

aiding their cultivation,

and acting as their lapdog.

Don't you plan

to tell your followers

these things?

Master,

he's talking nonsense, right?

This is impossible.

This is impossible!

I don't believe it.

How could the Master do such a thing?

We believe in the Master.

Lu,

do we really have to come

to this point?

Back at Liubo Temple,

there were only the three of us.

Even so,

she still drew

a class distinction.

You could focus on cultivation.

But I,

destined to be lowly without immortal perception,

could only do some menial work.

Please spare me, Temple Master!

Please forgive me, Temple Master!

Get lost.

[Liubo Temple]

Later, that woman died.

I left Liubo Temple

and came to the Qinghong Sect.

Lu,

come with me.

Let's leave here together.

If we stick together,

we will surely have a great life.

No, thanks.

Where are you going then?

I don't know either.

Maybe to atone for Master's death,

or maybe to find my father.

Fan,

no matter what,

I hope you get what you wish for.

Lu,

just wait and see.

I will definitely live a decent life!

What's your name?

Fan.

You want to join the Qinghong Sect?

Yes.

Yes!

Only when I got here did I realize

that this was just a larger Liubo Temple.

What they say or do

doesn't matter.

Just to stay alive.

Living well is what's important.

Since then,

on every sleepless night,

I would think of that day.

If I had followed you,

or you had followed me,

would things turn out differently?

Unfortunately, just as you said,

there is no

magical artifact to turn back time in this world,

nor is there a second chance in life.

Coward,

clean it up.

I secretly swore to myself

that I must not let

others look down on me again.

I would climb my way

step by step to the center of power.

I wanted to live a better life than everyone else,

including you!

So I returned

to that place

and found the evil technique

that she had been practicing.

I used to despise her.

But now,

this is my way

of surviving.

Liars shout slogans,

madmen believe them,

and fools die.

Do you think there is

only one Qinghong Sect in this world?

No!

This world

is actually

a larger battlefield.

For profit,

power,

and fame,

people will do whatever it takes

to fight to the death.

If everyone else does this,

why can't I?

I just want to survive!

To survive is the most basic

and justified thing in this world!

There's nothing wrong with wanting to survive.

But in order to survive,

you kill other people

to extend your own life.

That is wrong.

You're so righteous.

Even if you're right,

there is one thing

I am so curious about.

You're a War Demon.

Why are you fighting for their injustice?

He is a War Demon?

-He is a War Demon? -A War Demon?

You War Demons are

truly useless.

Born with the body of a demigod,

a perfect War Demon has the power

comparable to that of gods.

Yet your race

ended up being wiped out.

Don't you wonder why?

Because of weakness!

You've got a body as tough as iron,

but a heart

that's way too soft and indecisive.

I am not like you.

I will work

with whoever is useful to me.

Relationships between people

are simply about mutual exchange

and exploitation.

You're so lofty.

Ask them

if they want to join you.

It is true that I am a War Demon.

Your business with the immortal sects

has nothing to do with me.

But since you used the Wushuang Society

to capture my friend,

I won't let you go.

Won't let me go?

What can you do about it?

Blood for blood!

It's you.

Are you surprised?

I knew

there was something wrong with you, bitch.

You usually hid yourself quite well.

You even suppressed your cultivation level.

I didn't expect that

you had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

If I didn't hide my true strength,

how could I kill you today?

Why are you standing there?

Waiting to die?

Senior Bai.

I'm fine.

Go ahead.

Gather.

Burn.

I can't hold on much longer.

Sheng!

No guards?

They died inside.

Where is Lu Qianqiao?

We agreed that

I would come to save you,

while he stayed in the hall

to stall the Master.

Just him alone?

Senior Bai,

you are seriously injured.

Find a place to hide first,

and we will go help him.

Okay.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Lu Qianqiao!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

And how are you?

I'm doing well.

Yingying,

I am very disappointed in you.

You've never had hope,

so how can you be disappointed?

I am just more clear-headed than they are.

I saw through

your dirty deeds long ago

and would no longer be deceived by you.

You would rather choose

a War Demon everyone hates

than your own master

who treats you as his own,

right?

Exactly.

You've all heard the truth.

Are you still willing to work for me?

We stand firmly with the Master

to the bitter end!

We stand firmly with the Master

to the bitter end!

You've all already

known his true colors.

Why still follow him?

No matter how we fight

the Immortal Race,

that is, in the end,

an internal conflict of the Human Race.

But he is

a War Demon!

He is everyone's enemy!

All War Demons deserve to die!

You helped a War Demon,

so you deserve to die, too!

Yes!

The War Demons and we

can never coexist!

They just choose

to side with power.

They'd turn to whoever

gives them power.

Be it the hatred towards the immortal sects

or the hatred towards the War Demons,

it's nothing

but your high-sounding excuse!

Your words

are quite insightful.

Lu,

since I knew you'd come today,

wouldn't I be prepared?

Lord Baori!

We should've done this earlier!

I must remind you

that Fu Tian is a Void Stage cultivator.

Besides, he has

2 Void Stage Guardians

and 3 Dharma Kings by his side,

not to mention the numerous

capable men in the sect.

How can you kill him?

Did you bring what I asked for?

This magical artifact

has the power to rewind time for a short while.

By sacrificing your own essence blood,

you can restore your body

to a certain state in the past.

This is Gui's Sunblock Banner?

Exactly.

I modified it a bit.

How come I didn't know

that woman taught you formations?

There's a lot you don't know.

How is that possible?

That's because you

have no idea

what I've sacrificed

to be an ordinary person.

You used her spells

to collude with the immortal sects,

steal others' immortal perception,

and deceive your followers.

Fan,

do you admit your mistake?

Why should I admit it?

Why should I?

What mistake did I make?

People are born with distinctions of noble and humble,

rich and poor,

immortal and mortal!

Some are high above,

while some are as lowly as ants.

Why must I be

the one crawling on the ground?

I am not resigned to this!

I will change my fate against God's will!

I will make you all know

what it feels like to have nothing!

Why did you end up

like this today?

Stop saying those disgusting words.

Survival of the fittest.

Lu.

I suggest you sober up.

In this world where people prey on each other,

the foolish

can't live long.

[Guiyuan Hall]

It hasn't rained on the mountain, right?

Senior Brother,

it hasn't rained this month.

How is it down the mountain?

It rained once on the 5th.

It started at 7:30 a.m.

and stopped at 9 a.m.

Don't worry, Senior Brother.

The disciples have dug

another well down the mountain,

so there's no problem with drinking or using water.

Here we are.

-Senior Brother Bai. -Senior Brother Bai.

-Senior Lin. -Senior Lin.

-Senior Jiang. -Senior Jiang

[Tianyuan Sect]

Senior Bai!

-Senior Brother Bai! -Senior Brother Bai!

Senior Bai.

Senior Bai, wake up!

-Senior... -Senior Bai.

-We're back in the sect. -Senior Brother Bai.

-Senior Jiang. -Senior.

What exactly happened to Senior Brother Bai?

He was harmed by villains.

Hurry and help him inside.

Okay.

Sect Leader.

Sect Leader,

Senior Bai is back.

He fainted at the gate.

What happened to Senior Brother Bai?

Is he sick?

I heard he was seriously injured.

Will Senior Brother Bai

get through this?

-Don't jinx it. -Yeah.

Make way.

Make way, everyone.

Greetings, Sect Leader.

Master Li.

Sir,

I guess we don't

need so many people inside, huh?

Master Li.

How is Bai?

He...

The physician said he's in a very bad condition.

Where did Senior Bai get hurt?

How could he be so badly injured?

I heard from the physician

that his immortal perception was dug out,

and his Qihai was damaged.

His cultivation level

has dropped to the bottom.

No way...

He is now no different from an ordinary mortal.

Nonsense!

It's what the physician said,

not me.

Why are you yelling at me?

What?

Are you afraid that without Senior Bai,

no one will protect you?

You...

Enough.

[Baosu Courtyard]

Master Li,

how is Senior Bai?

His immortal perception was snatched,

his spiritual veins were destroyed,

and his energy base is empty.

The spiritual energy accumulated

over decades of cultivation vanished in an instant.

Surviving this is

already a miracle.

Let Bai have a good rest.

And I have some questions for you.

[Liubo Temple]

Whenever you do some work,

you are either drinking water

or using the toilet.

It didn't delay

my carving anyway.

See?

How many volumes?

Three volumes.

I'm not like you,

who eats as soon as your eyes open

and sleeps as soon as they close.

You don't do any work yourself,

but love to nag others.

You also did a good job.

Congratulations.

You carved quite fast.

You almost caught up to half of Sheng's

half speed.

How is that possible?

Which volume is she on?

I didn't pay attention to that.

It's just that

she seemed to be doing faster than you.
