5
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,250
Uncle, save me!

6
00:01:28,470 --> 00:01:28,890
Let's go.

7
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:30,650
Out of the way!

8
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:36,980
Uncle.

9
00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:38,220
Miaoqing is hurt!

10
00:02:29,390 --> 00:02:30,300
The child is gone.

11
00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:31,970
Get some rest.

12
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:48,650
Take a sip.

13
00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:02,530
Drink it.

14
00:03:15,590 --> 00:03:16,810
I hate you.

15
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,570
I hate you.

16
00:03:51,150 --> 00:03:52,500
I hate you!

17
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:30,060
Immortal Lord Xuanhua,

18
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,420
why such a grand display?

19
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:34,500
What brings you here?

20
00:04:47,470 --> 00:04:48,300
Mr. Zuo Qiu,

21
00:04:49,390 --> 00:04:51,420
I respect the academy as a pillar of the immortal sects,

22
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:52,940
always staying out of conflict.

23
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,620
But now you're harboring the Demon Lord and the Divine Tree.

24
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:57,100
What are you trying to do?

25
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,570
Are you betraying the immortal sects

26
00:05:00,390 --> 00:05:01,370
to side with those across the sea?

27
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,250
The academy has only masters and disciples.

28
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,740
No Demon Lord or Divine Tree.

29
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,500
A few days ago, an assassin came after me,

30
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,890
but was rescued by the Demon Lord Yecha and the Divine Tree.

31
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:17,250
That assassin was struck by my fire lotus spell.

32
00:05:17,830 --> 00:05:19,210
With a little push...

33
00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:36,770
Look.

34
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,810
The assassin, Baili Gelin, is at the academy.

35
00:05:40,910 --> 00:05:43,620
The Divine Tree and the Demon Lord are here too.

36
00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:46,570
Ji Tongzhou,

37
00:05:48,030 --> 00:05:49,570
you killed Changyue and Ye!

38
00:05:50,270 --> 00:05:51,660
As long as I draw breath,

39
00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:53,540
I will kill you for revenge!

40
00:05:54,270 --> 00:05:54,810
Don't move.

41
00:05:54,830 --> 00:05:56,060
I'll say it once more.

42
00:05:56,590 --> 00:05:58,890
The academy has only masters and disciples.

43
00:05:59,590 --> 00:06:01,130
No Demon Lord, Divine Tree,

44
00:06:01,830 --> 00:06:02,890
or assassin.

45
00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:04,940
Since you insist,

46
00:06:05,710 --> 00:06:07,370
don't blame me for being rude.

47
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:08,500
Search.

48
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,130
Yes.

49
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:09,940
Don't you dare!

50
00:06:19,790 --> 00:06:20,620
Immortal Lord Xuanhua,

51
00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:22,940
Chufeng Academy is a sacred ground of the immortal sects.

52
00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:25,060
They've always stayed out of disputes.

53
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,420
You brazenly disrupt the peace of the academy.

54
00:06:28,910 --> 00:06:30,210
Aren't you afraid of public outrage?

55
00:06:41,790 --> 00:06:42,420
Fine.

56
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,690
Out of respect for the academy's teachings,

57
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,330
I'll give you one day.

58
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,890
Hand over the Demon Lord and the Divine Tree by tomorrow morning.

59
00:06:51,470 --> 00:06:52,100
Otherwise,

60
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,370
I'll burn Chufeng Academy to the ground

61
00:06:59,910 --> 00:07:01,180
and smoke them out.

62
00:07:44,590 --> 00:07:45,890
I knew you two were still alive.

63
00:07:47,030 --> 00:07:48,300
All these years, every divination I made

64
00:07:48,590 --> 00:07:50,130
pointed to a reunion with old friends.

65
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,620
Do you two

66
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:54,690
have any conscience at all?

67
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:55,890
You're fine,

68
00:07:55,910 --> 00:07:57,890
and you didn't even send word?

69
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:58,890
Deng,

70
00:08:00,150 --> 00:08:01,690
you're a Sect Leader now.

71
00:08:01,910 --> 00:08:03,300
Can you at least act like one?

72
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:06,740
You left

73
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,130
for ten whole years.

74
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,450
Do you know how worried your master was?

75
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:13,420
How is

76
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,810
my master?

77
00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:18,690
His cultivation has dropped sharply.

78
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:20,940
He's retired to Hushe Peak now.

79
00:08:23,390 --> 00:08:25,250
But he's quite carefree these days.

80
00:08:25,910 --> 00:08:27,210
He often discusses medicine and the Dao

81
00:08:27,230 --> 00:08:28,980
with Elder Dongyang and Elder Zhu.

82
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,940
I almost forgot the main thing.

83
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,420
Elder Dongyang asked me

84
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,780
to bring you this miraculous pill.

85
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,780
He said your cultivation has declined.

86
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:41,730
Take this,

87
00:08:41,870 --> 00:08:43,060
and it'll secure your future well-being.

88
00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:46,210
They're always so thoughtful.

89
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,490
Xiuyuan and I could really use some medicine right now.

90
00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:52,300
Only one pill?

91
00:08:54,750 --> 00:08:55,450
What do you mean?

92
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,180
Your master traveled far and wide,

93
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:58,970
searching for the finest herbs,

94
00:08:58,990 --> 00:08:59,970
just to refine this single pill.

95
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:06,540
You've just been hurt.

96
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:07,850
Take it.

97
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:24,940
I still have my spirit root.

98
00:09:25,230 --> 00:09:25,780
I can recultivate.

99
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:26,420
You...

100
00:09:35,510 --> 00:09:36,570
My spirit power is back?

101
00:09:39,510 --> 00:09:41,420
The pill only strengthens the body and prolongs life.

102
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,060
Your spirit power must have returned because of the medicine.

103
00:09:45,470 --> 00:09:46,180
It only works once.

104
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:50,490
It doesn't matter. It's still a gain.

105
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:53,090
By the way,

106
00:09:53,630 --> 00:09:55,490
Ji Tongzhou gave the academy a one-day ultimatum.

107
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:57,140
What do you two think?

108
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,180
Fight him to the death!

109
00:10:10,750 --> 00:10:11,300
Gelin,

110
00:10:11,870 --> 00:10:13,090
you were imprisoned and wounded.

111
00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:13,900
Your spirit power is weak.

112
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,140
You should return to the East Sea.

113
00:10:15,830 --> 00:10:16,940
No, I don't want to run away.

114
00:10:18,630 --> 00:10:20,060
If I don't avenge Changyue and Ye,

115
00:10:20,510 --> 00:10:21,850
I'll never have peace.

116
00:10:23,470 --> 00:10:24,380
Even if it costs me my life,

117
00:10:25,470 --> 00:10:26,660
I'll fight him to the end.

118
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,020
Ji Tongzhou has been crushing his opponents for these years.

119
00:10:30,830 --> 00:10:31,940
He's made plenty of enemies.

120
00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:35,090
Lately, Xingzheng Hall has wiped out several immortal sects.

121
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:37,260
Wuyue Court also wants to curb his ambitions.

122
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:38,570
This is our chance.

123
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:41,090
But what exactly is

124
00:10:41,470 --> 00:10:42,490
the karmic fire?

125
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,060
Karmic fire comes from the inner demon.

126
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,730
Mr. Zuo Qiu found the Xuanhua Sacred Fire Record

127
00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:48,780
in Futu Tower.

128
00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:50,060
It says

129
00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:51,380
those who wield karmic fire

130
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,060
are usually people with deep obsessions,

131
00:10:53,470 --> 00:10:54,450
driven to the brink of despair.

132
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,260
The fire

133
00:10:55,350 --> 00:10:57,090
is their only weapon of retaliation.

134
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:59,690
That's why it's also called the fire of the inner demon.

135
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,450
Inner demon?

136
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:05,660
Inner demon?

137
00:11:07,110 --> 00:11:09,260
Is this the aftermath of the mirage dream

138
00:11:09,630 --> 00:11:10,570
on Fanghu Island?

139
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,730
Karmic fire is born from the inner demon.

140
00:11:15,710 --> 00:11:17,330
So if we get rid of the inner demon,

141
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,690
the fire will die out?

142
00:11:20,830 --> 00:11:21,780
Not that easy.

143
00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:23,380
To get rid of the inner demon,

144
00:11:23,830 --> 00:11:25,140
you must first understand the obsession.

145
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:29,610
I know what his obsession is.

146
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,210
But even knowing it,

147
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:34,810
we'd have to push him to the edge before we could act.

148
00:11:35,470 --> 00:11:36,490
And who in this world

149
00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:39,090
can push Immortal Lord Xuanhua to the edge?

150
00:11:46,830 --> 00:11:47,490
Let me try.

151
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:51,330
Mr. Zuo already knew you'd say that.

152
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:52,690
Follow me.

153
00:11:59,630 --> 00:12:00,900
Human strength has its limits.

154
00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:02,380
In just one day,

155
00:12:02,630 --> 00:12:04,810
how can Xiuyuan stand against Immortal Lord Xuanhua?

156
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:09,690
One person's strength is limited.

157
00:12:11,230 --> 00:12:13,850
But when generations share the same will,

158
00:12:14,510 --> 00:12:16,090
spanning centuries without end,

159
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,660
it becomes limitless.

160
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:21,300
Sir.

161
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:41,940
You only have one chance.

162
00:12:42,510 --> 00:12:43,690
Hold Ji Tongzhou back.

163
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,210
Help Lifei turn the tide!

164
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,940
Mr. Zuo, you gave him the academy's spirit energy.

165
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:06,850
Thousands of years ago,

166
00:13:07,510 --> 00:13:08,940
I founded Chufeng Academy.

167
00:13:09,350 --> 00:13:12,780
It was meant to be a place beyond the affairs of this world.

168
00:13:13,510 --> 00:13:15,450
Yet all things in this world are connected.

169
00:13:16,110 --> 00:13:17,660
Nothing is truly detached.

170
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,490
My spirit root was destroyed long ago.

171
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,380
I've only survived on the academy's spirit energy.

172
00:13:24,750 --> 00:13:25,330
Now

173
00:13:25,710 --> 00:13:27,210
it's up to the younger generation.

174
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,810
Mr. Zuo, you sacrificed your cultivation

175
00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:31,330
to build the mountain-sea barrier,

176
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:32,900
protecting the Central Plains

177
00:13:33,630 --> 00:13:34,940
and preserving the flame of the immortal sects.

178
00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:40,020
From now on, it's these flames that will carry on.

179
00:13:48,510 --> 00:13:48,780
Mr...

180
00:13:51,870 --> 00:13:52,420
Mr. Zuo.

181
00:13:57,830 --> 00:13:59,570
With growth comes decay.

182
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,610
Let nature take its course.

183
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:05,780
Don't dwell on it.

184
00:14:44,230 --> 00:14:46,090
We don't know if we'll survive tomorrow's battle.

185
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,780
I'm dragging you into this again.

186
00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:54,020
Silly.

187
00:14:55,230 --> 00:14:56,140
We're husband and wife.

188
00:14:56,990 --> 00:14:58,140
We live and die together.

189
00:15:14,590 --> 00:15:15,570
I want to stay at the academy.

190
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:17,540
Why?

191
00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:23,690
When I was young, I relied on Changyue and Ye.

192
00:15:24,990 --> 00:15:25,850
In the East Sea,

193
00:15:26,750 --> 00:15:28,260
I had Jiao and you.

194
00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:32,090
I always hesitated before doing anything.

195
00:15:32,870 --> 00:15:34,020
My cultivation was average.

196
00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:35,420
I never knew

197
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,900
what I truly wanted.

198
00:15:37,750 --> 00:15:38,540
But today,

199
00:15:40,510 --> 00:15:41,210
watching the masters

200
00:15:41,230 --> 00:15:42,780
stand up to Ji Tongzhou,

201
00:15:43,470 --> 00:15:44,420
I finally understood.

202
00:15:45,590 --> 00:15:46,780
Even dust may fight the storm.

203
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,420
We ordinary people have our own reason for being.

204
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,060
So I want to stay.

205
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,300
I want to show my future juniors

206
00:15:56,470 --> 00:15:57,810
what it means that all beings are equal,

207
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,660
to fear no power,

208
00:16:01,230 --> 00:16:02,380
to hold a sense of justice,

209
00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:04,540
and to walk the Great Dao.

210
00:16:05,830 --> 00:16:06,210
Alright.

211
00:16:09,470 --> 00:16:10,210
Then we'll

212
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:11,970
seek the Great Dao together.

213
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:08,450
You're finally here.

214
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:14,660
Come at me together.

215
00:17:15,710 --> 00:17:17,180
Save me the trouble.

216
00:18:00,790 --> 00:18:01,250
Form the formation!

217
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,730
Demon-Subduing Formation?

218
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,660
You dare use that against me?

219
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:19,580
Ridiculous.

220
00:20:35,230 --> 00:20:37,380
Fire and metal unite. The karmic fire is merciless.

221
00:20:37,990 --> 00:20:38,900
Your own karmic fire.

222
00:20:39,470 --> 00:20:39,970
Take it back!

223
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:57,100
This is the academy's spirit energy?

224
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:58,620
You are the Demon Lord.

225
00:20:58,920 --> 00:20:59,940
Why are they helping you?

226
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:01,140
Spirit power knows no divide.

227
00:21:02,030 --> 00:21:03,010
Good and evil dwell in the heart!

228
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:19,970
Tongzhou,

229
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:21,620
you're at your end.

230
00:21:22,470 --> 00:21:23,290
Time to turn back.

231
00:22:03,070 --> 00:22:03,660
Tongzhou.

232
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,340
Tongzhou, why are you asleep?

233
00:22:13,550 --> 00:22:14,180
Lanya?

234
00:22:16,070 --> 00:22:18,490
What... what are you doing here?

235
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:24,900
What's wrong, Tongzhou?

236
00:22:25,750 --> 00:22:26,690
Do you hate me?

237
00:22:26,990 --> 00:22:28,180
Not happy to see me?

238
00:22:30,470 --> 00:22:32,250
I.. I am happy.

239
00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,010
Tongzhou,

240
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:00,490
what's wrong?

241
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,050
Did you not sleep well last night?

242
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:03,770
Ye Ye?

243
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,620
Ye Ye, you're alive?

244
00:23:09,030 --> 00:23:11,100
What are you talking about?

245
00:23:20,030 --> 00:23:20,620
Your Highness,

246
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,180
you're still half asleep?

247
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:33,450
Tongzhou, Mr. Hu is here.

248
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:34,100
Sit down.

249
00:23:37,030 --> 00:23:38,450
Class is about to start.

250
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:39,900
Do you all

251
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,050
want to be punished?

252
00:23:47,070 --> 00:23:47,900
Ji Tongzhou!

253
00:23:49,230 --> 00:23:49,900
Dazing off?

254
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:52,380
Still sleepy?

255
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:54,820
Were you dreaming?

256
00:23:57,310 --> 00:23:57,900
A dream?

257
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:01,730
Just a dream.

258
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:14,770
It really was just a dream.

259
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:30,970
Lifei.

260
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:34,380
Lifei.

261
00:24:35,070 --> 00:24:35,690
Xiuyuan!

262
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:08,620
Lifei! Xiuyuan!

263
00:25:11,070 --> 00:25:11,490
Lifei.

264
00:25:12,230 --> 00:25:13,770
I just had the longest dream.

265
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,010
What did you dream about?

266
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:15,730
I dreamed...

267
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,860
Forget it. Don't tell dreams in broad daylight.

268
00:25:20,470 --> 00:25:21,940
My brother brought lots of food.

269
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:23,100
Everyone will love it.

270
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,140
Xiuyuan, join us.

271
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:26,860
Let's go.

272
00:25:45,230 --> 00:25:46,100
Need to knead it more.

273
00:25:46,510 --> 00:25:47,730
- Changyue. - Like this.

274
00:25:48,790 --> 00:25:49,900
I got it, Changyue.

275
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:50,900
You're doing so well.

276
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,100
Almost done. See?

277
00:25:53,550 --> 00:25:54,010
Tongzhou,

278
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:55,770
come make mooncakes with us.

279
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,180
Done.

280
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,380
Drink till we drop!

281
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:04,490
Drink till we drop.

282
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,180
Here.

283
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,420
Come on.

284
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,490
Let's release this wish lantern together.

285
00:26:15,030 --> 00:26:15,530
Sure.

286
00:26:15,990 --> 00:26:18,010
But what should we write?

287
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:26,100
"May we be together forever."

288
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,900
"The same every year."

289
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:29,660
"May we be together forever."

290
00:26:30,750 --> 00:26:31,820
"The same every year."

291
00:26:33,230 --> 00:26:33,770
Alright.

292
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,960
[May we be together forever. The same every year.]

293
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,340
If only time could stop right here.

294
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,380
Right, Tongzhou?

295
00:27:27,550 --> 00:27:28,050
Don't go!

296
00:27:43,790 --> 00:27:44,900
Immortal Lord Xuanhua?

297
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:49,530
That...

298
00:27:56,270 --> 00:27:57,140
That's me?

299
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,180
Tongzhou.

300
00:28:13,550 --> 00:28:14,210
Time to wake up.

301
00:28:22,030 --> 00:28:24,210
Tongzhou, we never blamed you.

302
00:28:31,030 --> 00:28:31,730
Sorry.

303
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:36,970
I'm sorry.

304
00:28:51,710 --> 00:28:52,940
Why don't you blame me?

305
00:28:56,030 --> 00:28:57,770
I did so many wrong things.

306
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,820
Why don't you blame me?

307
00:29:43,510 --> 00:29:45,900
A dream. Just a dream.

308
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,100
All of this was a dream!

309
00:30:13,750 --> 00:30:14,490
What's happening?

310
00:30:16,710 --> 00:30:17,530
His mind is broken.

311
00:30:18,550 --> 00:30:19,620
He can't use Xuanhua Fire anymore.

312
00:30:27,550 --> 00:30:29,180
