(The Legend of ShenLi)

(Episode 30)

It's only the first day,

there are still eight days to go.

Can you continue?

Never mind.

I'm just kind-hearted anyway.

I'll risk my life to help you.

Miss, are you feeling any discomfort?

No.

My body just

feels a little strange.

How so?

I can't quite describe it,

but I just feel much more comfortable.

That's good then.

Jin Niang Zi,

I have a question.

The Blue Sea Pearl originally belongs to me.

I was born bearing it.

Why does its scorching power

clash with the spiritual energy in my body?

Born bearing the pearl?

So, you're the famous Lord Bi Cang.

Since you were born with this power, Your Highness,

in my humble opinion,

it must be that the spiritual techniques you learned later in life

are in conflict with this power,

and that's why the two forces can't merge.

The spiritual techniques I learned later...

(Everything I know was taught by Her Majesty.)

(She's also the one who gave me the pearl.)

(Since she knew about the pearl, )

(she must know that the spiritual energy in my body)

(clashes with its power.)

(If that's the case, )

(why has she been teaching me that way all these years?)

Coming to find me late at night,

aren't you afraid of making the lady jealous?

Why isn't your sword-forging platform

working as well as before?

You're getting bolder by the day.

Do you really lack weapons now?

It's hers.

This should be a spear, right?

It must have been a treasure before,

but how did it end up broken like this?

Divine Lord,

you can't blame

my sword-forging platform for your failure to reforge it.

It's clearly because of your injury.

So, you couldn't do it.

After all this time,

I never realized you were such a romantic.

Love found me.

I can't help it.

It's just that this lady's background

is a little more mysterious than usual.

But rest assured, Divine Lord,

I know what to do.

As for this spear,

I think it can only be reforged

in Sky's Beyond, where the spiritual energy is abundant.

Miss,

I saw so many wounds on you earlier.

How admirable.

Those scars

symbolize honor.

It's so cool.

You know what,

I don't want those stars from Sky's Beyond anymore.

I'd rather find you a husband.

Miss,

look how protective Divine Lord is of you.

Start the treatment.

I was just joking around.

You two really are a perfect match,

equally dull.

Girl,

there's something I've been pondering for days,

and I think I should tell you.

Go on.

I'm not sure if you've sensed it,

but that scorching power in your body

doesn't seem to be pure spiritual or immortal energy,

especially considering your mention

of the source being the Blue Sea Pearl.

If I may make a bold guess,

I think your pearl

is more akin to a monster elixir.

Monster?

Look, this is my elixir.

You just leave your elixir lying around like that?

From what I know,

a monster would die if they lose their elixir, right?

I am no ordinary monster anymore.

Don't measure me by common sense.

You should still keep it safe.

All right, as you wish.

Girl, don't you find your background a little mysterious?

All I know is

that I was born on the battlefield.

Both my parents were soldiers of the Spiritual Realm's army.

I was raised by Spiritual Sovereign.

Over the past thousand years,

no one has ever questioned my identity.

Nor have I ever thought that my birth was mysterious.

Perhaps your Spiritual Sovereign has kept many things from you.

When you recover, you should go back and ask her.

You might uncover something.

This is your last treatment.

The snowstorm is so strong.

My friends, I should get going.

Goodbye, my friend.

We should also get moving.

We've waited another day for nothing.

Let's come again tomorrow.

Let's go.

The snowstorm is too strong. We can't go up the mountain.

You should turn back.

This aura is familiar.

I didn't expect them

to be here too.

(What a pleasant surprise.)

Today is truly an unusual day.

Some reckless folks dared to come here causing trouble.

Are they difficult to deal with?

Your treatment cannot be interrupted.

No matter what happens out there, Divine Lord will take care of it.

Focus your mind, stay calm,

and don't be disturbed by it.

Looks like they are a little difficult to deal with,

but don't worry, I'll go out and deal with them,

then come back to get you.

- I'll go with you. - You have no weapon,

and your spiritual power hasn't fully recovered. You can't go.

Rest assured and focus on healing here

until you're completely healed.

I'll handle this.

Go, find the Golden Snake Monster for me.

I've lived for so many years,

and I've never seen anyone daring enough

to come here and make trouble.

You're a snake monster who has lived thousands of years.

You've lived up to your reputation.

So, you're the one with a death wish.

So, the Golden Elixir is here.

Who are you?

(This man is still alive.)

(His combat strength is completely different from a few days ago.)

(I can't confront him head-on.)

Shen Li.

Watch out!

Go, retrieve the Golden Elixir for me.

Xing Zhi.

You're awake.

Jin Niang Zi said

this place is where she discarded her evil desires.

She sealed it with magic,

so it shouldn't be easy to get out.

She certainly picked the right location.

This place is a naturally formed sealing land,

and with her magic,

it's easy to get in but hard to get out.

It's indeed an ideal place to seal monsters.

Jin Niang Zi told me

that the opposing force to the spiritual energy

inside me might be

monstrous energy.

If she could see it,

don't tell me you didn't see it

after spending so much time with me?

Why didn't you ever tell me about it?

Forget it, everyone has their own plans.

I won't hold it against you.

Are you all right?

Are you both still alive?

There are some reckless fools outside who have come from who knows where.

They're not too difficult to deal with, just a bit persistent.

They managed to hold me back

and caused you fall into this place.

Since you're here, let us out then.

You're putting me in a tough spot, Divine Lord.

I've been sealing this place for thousands of years.

It's not something that can be easily undone.

This entrance only allows entry, not exit.

If you want to get out, you'll have to reach a formation eye.

The only way out is there.

It's up on the back mountain. All right, I'll go wait for you there.

Her body still needs ongoing treatment.

Let's go.

- It's all right. I can hold on. - I'll carry you on my back.

Come.

Are you injured?

No.

Is this the wound you sustained in the Eastern Sea?

It's nothing.

Stop, let me down.

Stay still.

I can walk on my own.

Don't force yourself.

It's fine. Let's find the formation eye as soon as possible.

I can walk by myself.

Now,

we're only missing the Blue Sea Pearl.

Xing Zhi is suffering injury from freezing the Eastern Sea before.

Shen Li is basically powerless, barely holding on.

Today is the perfect opportunity to find Shen Li

and seize the Blue Sea Pearl in one fell swoop.

Where are we?

Land of Spiritual Snake.

Xing Zhi,

how much longer until we find the formation eye?

My body

feels unusually hot.

You must merge the Blue Sea Pearl immediately.

We can't delay any longer.

Sit over there and meditate.

Let's go.

Tell me how she carried out your treatment.

She circulated the cold energy through my veins

to help me merge with the Blue Sea Pearl.

All right.

- Xing Zhi... - Close your eyes and focus your mind.

So that my energy can flow through your veins easier.

Why go through all this trouble?

- Who is there? - Focus.

Someone was talking.

The aura here is already impure,

and it's further clouded by the puppet's miasma.

That's why you must keep a clear and calm mind.

Don't be affected by it.

To treat your injury, he is channeling his energy to you.

The wound on his back has opened up again.

The natural method is the easiest way to help you merge with your pearl.

(Nonsense.)

- (It will never happen.) - Why not?

(He is a god, burdened with the world.)

(He cannot act on personal feelings.)

Whether he can act on personal feelings is his concern.

What does it have to do with you?

You are Shen Li.

No one dictates that you cannot act on personal feelings.

Since he needs restraint, why don't you take the initiative?

Get lost!

It will prevent him from defying Heaven

while satisfying your own desires.

Right here in this cave.

No one will know.

You've always suppressed yourself,

restrained yourself,

only ever thinking of protecting the people of the Spiritual Realm

and defending the world.

Have you ever lived for yourself?

Just indulge this once,

right here.

No one will know.

Heaven won't blame Xing Zhi.

It's just your momentary lapse of self-control.

You love him deeply,

and he loves you just as much.

You love him deeply,

and he loves you just as much.

You don't know yet.

Shen Li, look.

Shen Li,

look here.

Shen Li.

You can't stop me!

Even if I will suffer the backlash of my power today,

even if I will be tortured to the bone,

you can't stop me!

(In the past, )

(I never thought the Three Realms were so vast.)

(But now, )

(I can't even)

(finish searching the Eastern Sea.)

Xing Zhi...

That's the Eastern Sea freezing incident you heard of.

That's also how he got the scars

on his back and chest.

It's also his unbearable and unforgettable memory.

That's what happened when you were gone for good.

Isn't thousands of years

of loneliness enough?

Heaven gave birth to gods.

If it didn't want you to fall in love,

then why did it endow you with feelings and desires?

In Sky's Beyond,

the Ancient Gods left you one by one,

leaving you eternally lonely.

So what if you break the rules?

What if you defy Heaven?

(What are you trying to do)

(by tempting me to see that scene in this formation?)

What I can see,

what I can make you see,

are nothing but human desires and thoughts.

Those are Xing Zhi's desires,

the nightmares he can't shake off.

And

I am the desire in your heart.

Keep Shen Li with you.

Keep Shen Li with you.

I am the version of yourself that you want to be

but fear to be.

Keep Shen Li with you.

You have to focus,

do you understand?

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing to me?

If we had never met,

if I had never loved you,

if we had never...

It would have been better.

Li,

I've lived for so long,

tens of thousands of years,

but what I'm most grateful for

is that I met you.

But you've been punished by Heaven

after meeting me.

I was punished

not because I met you,

but because

I lost you.

I've wanted to do this for a long time.

Li,

I think

we need to restrain ourselves.

I'm level-headed.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

Don't stop me.

If I'm making the wrong choice,

then let it be my fault.
