5
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,220
Leave now.

6
00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:43,010
What are you doing? Are you crazy?

7
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,220
Your Highness, what brings you here?

8
00:02:19,150 --> 00:02:19,940
No time to explain.

9
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:20,810
Run!

10
00:03:39,550 --> 00:03:40,220
Run!

11
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,020
- There's an exit! - Go.

12
00:04:14,870 --> 00:04:15,410
Mr. Zuo,

13
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,410
no sign of intruders in Wuxing Pavilion.

14
00:04:17,670 --> 00:04:18,650
All warding seals are intact,

15
00:04:18,830 --> 00:04:20,130
no odd spirit aura detected.

16
00:04:21,150 --> 00:04:22,180
That green light

17
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,180
is the Divine Tree's aura.

18
00:04:24,590 --> 00:04:26,540
I definitely got it right.

19
00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:29,810
Mr. Zuo!

20
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:31,890
Mr. Zuo!

21
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:34,300
What's going on?

22
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,420
Who broke in?

23
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,180
Jiaping,

24
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,210
are you carrying the key to the Futu Tower?

25
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:39,740
Yes,

26
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:43,740
I've kept it with me at all times.

27
00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:48,660
The tower is wrapped in heavy restriction spells.

28
00:04:49,270 --> 00:04:50,370
Anyone breaking in without the key

29
00:04:50,830 --> 00:04:51,980
will trigger alarms.

30
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,100
I slept dead to the world last night

31
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,660
and didn't feel anything off.

32
00:05:16,590 --> 00:05:17,980
None of the restriction spells around

33
00:05:18,470 --> 00:05:19,890
are cracked or loose.

34
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,660
Was the intruder strong enough

35
00:05:23,230 --> 00:05:24,620
to come through solid rock?

36
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:27,690
Or

37
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,810
hidden paths we don't know about?

38
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:32,940
I'll search again.

39
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,420
Mr. Zuo,

40
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,940
my master, Elder Xuanshan, said

41
00:05:42,350 --> 00:05:43,570
the Divine Tree disappeared

42
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,660
after the Sea Calamity ages ago.

43
00:05:48,270 --> 00:05:49,420
It hasn't been seen

44
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,690
in the past five centuries.

45
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:55,370
Seems bad things

46
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:58,940
are coming to this academy.

47
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:08,810
Don't you remember

48
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,450
what happened back then?

49
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,890
I was training with The Record of Spirit Release.

50
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,860
I pulled in some spirit energy,

51
00:06:18,910 --> 00:06:20,330
but messed up the technique.

52
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,130
I can't remember clearly.

53
00:06:23,470 --> 00:06:24,060
Xiuyuan,

54
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,250
did you see anything?

55
00:06:27,910 --> 00:06:29,810
Your aura was unstable,

56
00:06:30,270 --> 00:06:30,980
and you lacked spirit power,

57
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,940
so I tried to stabilize your spirit aura.

58
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,770
Then a blast of power knocked me flying.

59
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,860
Any pain anywhere?

60
00:06:45,710 --> 00:06:46,250
Or

61
00:06:46,910 --> 00:06:47,940
feel any different at all?

62
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:51,890
Nothing.

63
00:06:53,910 --> 00:06:55,250
I don't feel any different at all.

64
00:06:56,790 --> 00:06:58,210
Could we have triggered

65
00:06:59,350 --> 00:07:00,330
some ancient restriction spells?

66
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,370
There are countless ancient books.

67
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:04,690
Runes cover shelves

68
00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:05,540
and floors alike.

69
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,500
We never know what we touched.

70
00:07:08,270 --> 00:07:09,450
Leave other matters aside.

71
00:07:09,790 --> 00:07:11,210
The trouble at the Script Tower has blown up.

72
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,980
What if our teachers question us?

73
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,420
If the Disciplinary Pavilion finds out,

74
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,770
we'll face harsh punishment.

75
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,330
We might

76
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,740
get expelled from the academy.

77
00:07:26,350 --> 00:07:27,130
Have you heard?

78
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,130
Someone broke into the Futu Tower last night.

79
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,170
The Futu Tower?

80
00:07:30,270 --> 00:07:31,250
Can't believe that it happened.

81
00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:31,770
Indeed.

82
00:07:42,270 --> 00:07:43,500
Xiuyuan, Lifei,

83
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:45,060
come here.

84
00:07:45,710 --> 00:07:46,130
Come here.

85
00:07:48,270 --> 00:07:49,450
This is Yue Cailing,

86
00:07:49,470 --> 00:07:50,980
favored disciple of Immortal Guangwei

87
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,500
from the Wuyue Court.

88
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,940
This is Qin Yangling,

89
00:07:57,150 --> 00:07:58,620
chief disciple of Elder Cuixuan.

90
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,330
My master, Immortal Guangwei, has heard

91
00:08:04,350 --> 00:08:05,540
of Lei's extraordinary talent.

92
00:08:05,910 --> 00:08:07,740
He sent me here with an offer.

93
00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:13,370
Once you finish your studies,

94
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,250
would you like to cultivate at the Wuyue Court?

95
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:19,860
Thanks for the kind offer.

96
00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:22,210
But I've only been here for less than a month,

97
00:08:22,590 --> 00:08:23,660
so I need more time to cultivate.

98
00:08:25,710 --> 00:08:27,180
I've got things to do. I'm leaving.

99
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:28,370
Wait.

100
00:08:30,030 --> 00:08:30,940
No, he…

101
00:08:32,030 --> 00:08:34,010
He's just quiet and bad with words.

102
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:35,620
Deep down, he'd love to go.

103
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,490
Absolutely.

104
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:41,180
The immortal sects shall select a year later.

105
00:08:41,510 --> 00:08:42,970
Why recruit this early?

106
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,260
The academy's Futu Tower was broken in.

107
00:08:50,750 --> 00:08:52,730
It houses ancient books from all immortal sects across the nine states.

108
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:53,970
This is extremely critical,

109
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,780
so we merely came to help.

110
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:00,690
Xiuyuan.

111
00:09:01,630 --> 00:09:02,780
Zong Quan is here again.

112
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,940
Last night, someone snuck into the forbidden Futu Tower.

113
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,690
If any of you did,

114
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,180
step forward voluntarily.

115
00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:10,490
I'd never dare to do such a thing!

116
00:10:10,510 --> 00:10:11,730
No thief would stick around afterward.

117
00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:12,450
Who was it?

118
00:10:13,470 --> 00:10:14,690
- Don't drag everyone down! - Yes.

119
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:21,490
What?

120
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,780
None of you dares admit?

121
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:28,940
Jiaping.

122
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:42,540
You'll handle this.

123
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:54,970
Since none of you admit it,

124
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:59,020
I'll have the script spirits in the tower to identify the intruder.

125
00:12:14,990 --> 00:12:16,260
The script spirits found

126
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,780
no trace of the tower aura on any disciple.

127
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,210
In this case,

128
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,260
the intruder can't be one of our academy.

129
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,690
Alright, you may all disperse.

130
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:36,540
Wait a moment.

131
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,540
Strange spirit aura lingered above the Futu Tower,

132
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,970
most likely related to the Sea Calamity.

133
00:12:49,830 --> 00:12:51,690
It concerns the safety of the nine states.

134
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,730
How can you brush it off so lightly?

135
00:12:55,510 --> 00:12:58,140
What do you want to do, Mr. Zong?

136
00:13:00,830 --> 00:13:04,450
The Longming Sanctuary's treasure, Spirit-searching Branch,

137
00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:07,810
is capable of tracking rare spirit auras.

138
00:13:08,510 --> 00:13:10,850
I'd like to give it a try.

139
00:13:46,590 --> 00:13:48,020
Oh, no! I'm exposed.

140
00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:14,900
You again!

141
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,730
Meet your end!

142
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:24,690
Xiuyuan!

143
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:35,660
Xiuyuan!

144
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,180
You're seeking death!

145
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,380
Xiuyuan!

146
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,020
Mr. Zong!

147
00:15:44,750 --> 00:15:45,900
- Xiuyuan! - Xiuyuan!

148
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,210
Lifei, are you alright?

149
00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:59,490
What was I thinking?

150
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:01,940
Had Mr. Zuo not intervened,

151
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,330
I would've sacrificed myself to save Lifei.

152
00:16:07,470 --> 00:16:09,970
Mr. Zuo is said to be the top hidden cultivator across the nine states.

153
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:11,730
Your power is truly unfathomable.

154
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:15,780
Zuo Qiu,

155
00:16:16,870 --> 00:16:17,690
you were

156
00:16:17,990 --> 00:16:20,900
close friends with that traitor cultivator years ago.

157
00:16:21,470 --> 00:16:22,610
Since this spirit aura has resurfaced,

158
00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:24,450
your academy cannot escape blame.

159
00:16:24,990 --> 00:16:28,060
That man once led us to fight the Sea Calamity.

160
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,330
The Longming Sanctuary took the hardest hit,

161
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,090
so you shared a deep connection.

162
00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:35,260
Mr. Zong, do not make excuses

163
00:16:35,590 --> 00:16:36,570
to hurt my students.

164
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:39,730
Are they students?

165
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,610
They are murderers, obviously.

166
00:16:42,230 --> 00:16:42,570
You!

167
00:16:42,590 --> 00:16:45,380
He alone slew several of my disciples.

168
00:16:45,750 --> 00:16:47,420
All of them are his accomplices.

169
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,900
I shall take them back

170
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,020
to offer sacrifice for my fallen disciples.

171
00:16:54,750 --> 00:16:55,380
Bah!

172
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,300
The Longming Sanctuary aided the wicked.

173
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,300
Cruel and heartless,

174
00:16:59,470 --> 00:17:01,180
you ravaged Gaolu and slaughtered its people.

175
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,850
Yeah, besides Xiuyuan,

176
00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:06,850
Gelin, Changyue and I

177
00:17:07,230 --> 00:17:08,940
are all survivors of Gaolu.

178
00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:10,140
We've scraped by

179
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,620
all these years just to stay alive,

180
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:13,940
yet you

181
00:17:14,550 --> 00:17:16,100
still hunt us without end.

182
00:17:16,510 --> 00:17:19,210
Countless cultivators walk this world.

183
00:17:20,230 --> 00:17:22,490
Shall your baseless words

184
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,180
brand the Longming Sanctuary as killers?

185
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,970
That day at the Yange Hall in Lugong Town,

186
00:17:30,270 --> 00:17:31,530
your disciples burst in suddenly

187
00:17:31,550 --> 00:17:32,730
and tried to take my life.

188
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,660
As a senior of the immortal sects,

189
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,140
you ordered your disciples to wield immortal arts recklessly

190
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:37,940
and slay the innocent.

191
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,050
Xiuyuan and the others only defended themselves.

192
00:17:40,750 --> 00:17:41,490
What's wrong with that?

193
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,730
As the immortal sect protecting Wugou,

194
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,050
we only followed orders to wipe out rebels.

195
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,250
Rebels all deserve to die.

196
00:17:56,270 --> 00:17:58,450
Are you out of your mind?

197
00:17:59,070 --> 00:18:00,380
They were just kids seven years ago.

198
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,490
How were they rebels?

199
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:02,820
Moreover,

200
00:18:03,230 --> 00:18:05,010
they lived fine on their own land,

201
00:18:05,030 --> 00:18:05,940
but you took their territory

202
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:06,860
and called them rebels.

203
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,180
Using your logic, cops should arrest

204
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,490
homeowners instead of thieves!

205
00:18:11,710 --> 00:18:12,420
Plus,

206
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:15,450
your top disciples,

207
00:18:16,070 --> 00:18:17,210
picked on regular people,

208
00:18:17,230 --> 00:18:18,250
only to get killed by them.

209
00:18:18,710 --> 00:18:19,730
If I were you,

210
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,250
I'd have hidden this embarrassment forever.

211
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,380
How shameless!

212
00:18:25,470 --> 00:18:27,100
Still arguing nonsense.

213
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,290
The Spirit-searching Branch

214
00:18:29,510 --> 00:18:31,050
pointed right at you before it broke.

215
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,490
The strange aura over the Futu Tower

216
00:18:33,710 --> 00:18:34,580
must have something to do with you.

217
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:35,530
I...

218
00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:39,140
Zuo Qiu, can't you see

219
00:18:39,230 --> 00:18:40,100
what's really happening?

220
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,690
Mr. Zong,

221
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,290
they've not been in the academy long

222
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,580
and aren't strong enough

223
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,180
to get past the restriction spells in the Futu Tower.

224
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,620
We need to look into this properly.

225
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,730
Don't convict them right away.

226
00:19:02,750 --> 00:19:03,450
Very well.

227
00:19:03,790 --> 00:19:05,940
I shall stay here

228
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,450
and await your word.

229
00:19:15,230 --> 00:19:15,820
Alright.

230
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,490
This matter ends for today.

231
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:20,530
Everyone, disperse.

232
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:33,530
Elder Zhu,

233
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,050
take Lei Xiuyuan to heal his wounds.

234
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:40,010
Understood.

235
00:20:00,550 --> 00:20:03,690
Zong Quan's Golden Light Formation stabs deep to the core,

236
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,010
yet it should not hurt you this severely.

237
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,690
Why didn't you resist with your spirit power?

238
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,140
Xiuyuan

239
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,820
gave me all his spirit power.

240
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,900
No wonder you were untouched

241
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,250
amid the golden light.

242
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:33,900
He risked his own life for you.

243
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:35,820
Such a youthful bond

244
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:36,940
is truly precious.

245
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,340
I shall prepare the medicine.

246
00:20:46,710 --> 00:20:47,730
What were you thinking

247
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,050
when you saved me?

248
00:20:52,790 --> 00:20:53,770
Nothing at all.

249
00:20:56,550 --> 00:20:57,340
Were you not afraid of dying?

250
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:59,140
I was.

251
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,340
But Zong Quan never intended to spare me.

252
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,820
Better one perishes than both.

253
00:21:15,550 --> 00:21:16,420
I passed my power to you,

254
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:18,820
and you could seek out your master.

255
00:21:19,710 --> 00:21:20,580
Life is harsh;

256
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:24,340
at least you could fulfill your wish.

257
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:38,290
Lifei, where are you going?

258
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,340
To demand justice from our teachers.

259
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,340
Xiuyuan, how do you feel?

260
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:53,770
Mr. Zhu,

261
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,050
how is Xiuyuan's injury?

262
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,210
What can we do to help?

263
00:21:57,750 --> 00:21:58,860
His meridians are damaged.

264
00:21:59,470 --> 00:22:01,250
Someone must channel spirit power into him nonstop.

265
00:22:01,710 --> 00:22:02,250
I volunteer!

266
00:22:03,230 --> 00:22:04,210
We all do.

267
00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:06,730
Xiuyuan,

268
00:22:07,470 --> 00:22:08,940
you've endured countless hardships,

269
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:10,530
yet your friends

270
00:22:10,790 --> 00:22:11,940
treat you with all their hearts.

271
00:22:12,550 --> 00:22:14,340
Hard times will surely give way to good fortune.

272
00:22:18,230 --> 00:22:18,860
Thank you.

273
00:22:19,710 --> 00:22:22,100
We owe you thanks.

274
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,420
We only wish

275
00:22:23,750 --> 00:22:24,970
you'd stop worrying over us from now on.

276
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,860
Whether it's the Longming Sanctuary or Zong Quan,

277
00:22:28,550 --> 00:22:29,450
we'll stand together.

278
00:22:31,470 --> 00:22:32,140
Alright.

279
00:22:33,550 --> 00:22:35,290
Though Zong Quan rules an immortal sect,

280
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:38,770
he's petty and cruel.

281
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:40,380
You slew his disciples

282
00:22:40,550 --> 00:22:41,940
and he'll never let you off easily.

283
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,660
Steer clear of him,

284
00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:45,450
and never face him alone.

285
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,250
That strange aura is the Divine Tree.

286
00:22:48,990 --> 00:22:49,690
Yes.

287
00:22:51,070 --> 00:22:53,580
The Divine Tree absorbing heaven and earth's spirit energy

288
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,900
has been lost for hundreds of years, right?

289
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,180
Zong Quan came to the academy

290
00:22:58,470 --> 00:22:59,820
just to hunt for the Divine Tree.

291
00:23:00,470 --> 00:23:01,450
Do not engage him

292
00:23:02,030 --> 00:23:02,810
[Xuanshanzi, Xingzheng Hall]

293
00:23:02,810 --> 00:23:04,140
in direct conflict unless necessary.

294
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,530
Are you alright?

295
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,770
I'm fine, just an old wound.

296
00:23:15,230 --> 00:23:18,100
The Sea Calamity draws near; time waits for none.

297
00:23:18,750 --> 00:23:20,820
The Divine Tree holds Yue's fate.

298
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,180
Find out where it is at once.

299
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,290
Mr. Zuo,

300
00:23:29,750 --> 00:23:30,770
Zong Quan is hunting

301
00:23:30,790 --> 00:23:32,450
Xiuyuan and me.

302
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,420
You have to protect us.

303
00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:44,250
Sit.

304
00:23:48,230 --> 00:23:50,770
Did many spirits

305
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:53,490
draw near you in Qingqiu?

306
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:57,900
Besides,

307
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,690
when I traveled with my master,

308
00:24:03,310 --> 00:24:05,340
all kinds of spirits

309
00:24:05,710 --> 00:24:07,290
often lingered around me.

310
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:08,900
My master warned me repeatedly

311
00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:10,660
never to tell others.

312
00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:14,420
Mr. Zuo,

313
00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:17,250
will something bad happen to me?

314
00:24:21,230 --> 00:24:23,450
After a tiring day, you must be hungry.

315
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:26,690
Have a green bean cake.

316
00:24:31,230 --> 00:24:32,970
My master loved these too.

317
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:36,730
Yes.

318
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,050
We elders

319
00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:41,050
all fancy sweet treats.

320
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,050
You know my master,

321
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:46,900
don't you?

322
00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:53,770
Since your master sent you here,

323
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,420
stay here in peace.

324
00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:58,820
The academy will shield you

325
00:24:59,270 --> 00:25:02,340
as long as you stay here.

326
00:25:04,750 --> 00:25:06,860
The strange aura from the Futu Tower

327
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:08,050
must be related to you.

328
00:25:09,310 --> 00:25:11,900
Zuo Qiu, are you too blind and foolish

329
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:12,970
to see this?

330
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:14,180
Mr. Zuo.

331
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,290
Lifei, trust your master's arrangements.

332
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,210
Some truths are better left unknown

333
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,250
for your own good.

334
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,010
What did Mr. Zuo say? Will he protect us?

335
00:25:39,310 --> 00:25:40,100
Smart boy.

336
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,970
He wants us

337
00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:43,490
to stay inside the academy

338
00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:44,180
and never step out.

339
00:25:44,550 --> 00:25:45,530
He's right.

340
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:47,420
If we stay here,

341
00:25:47,790 --> 00:25:48,770
Zong Quan

342
00:25:49,070 --> 00:25:50,250
won't dare act recklessly.

343
00:25:54,550 --> 00:25:56,530
The Divine Tree holds Yue's fate.

344
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,100
Find out where it is at once.

345
00:26:01,550 --> 00:26:02,140
Lifei,

346
00:26:03,070 --> 00:26:05,380
when you entered the Futu Tower with Xiuyuan,

347
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,490
did you spot anything resembling the Divine Tree?

348
00:26:09,990 --> 00:26:10,530
The Divine Tree?

349
00:26:11,710 --> 00:26:12,690
Why ask that suddenly?

350
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,250
Xuanshanzi said the strange spirit aura in the academy

351
00:26:17,550 --> 00:26:18,290
is the Divine Tree.

352
00:26:20,550 --> 00:26:22,290
Then it has nothing to do with me.

353
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,530
There's no such tree,

354
00:26:24,550 --> 00:26:25,420
nothing but books inside.

355
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:26,820
If I'd found the Divine Tree,

356
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:27,860
I wouldn't have feared Zong Quan.

357
00:26:28,550 --> 00:26:29,380
Makes sense.

358
00:26:32,470 --> 00:26:33,820
No matter what Zong Quan's plan is,

359
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:34,940
our top priority

360
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,900
is passing the monthly exam to stay here.

361
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:42,180
Set aside the Divine Tree matter for now.

362
00:26:54,230 --> 00:26:55,420
This is the book from the Futu Tower.

363
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,180
Let's start studying The Record of Spirit Release.

364
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,100
Come on, let's go.

365
00:27:15,270 --> 00:27:17,100
This is my room.

366
00:27:17,990 --> 00:27:20,100
Don't worry, heal your wounds.

367
00:27:20,270 --> 00:27:21,340
We won't disturb you.

368
00:27:22,710 --> 00:27:23,620
- Wait. - Right.

369
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,180
This is ambergris.

370
00:27:26,270 --> 00:27:27,580
Drink it with water,

371
00:27:27,790 --> 00:27:29,450
and it'll greatly aid our cultivation.

372
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,660
Really?

373
00:27:31,270 --> 00:27:31,860
Let's go.

374
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:32,900
- Go. - Get some right now.

375
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,100
She's no ordinary orphan girl.

376
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,180
After all these twists,

377
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,450
could there truly be some fate binding us?

378
00:28:21,790 --> 00:28:23,940
I was reckless in the hall today,

379
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,380
yet it lowered her guard at least.

380
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,250
But Zong Quan lurks as a new threat,

381
00:28:32,510 --> 00:28:33,420
how to break this deadlock?

382
00:28:46,790 --> 00:28:47,730
Master.

383
00:28:47,750 --> 00:28:48,970
My heart's racing wildly.

384
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,580
What's wrong with me?

385
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,490
Wait for me.

386
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,450
Master.

387
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,050
Mr. Mo, Lifei seeks an audience.

388
00:29:53,790 --> 00:29:54,340
Come in.

389
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,010
Mr. Mo, what spirit art is this?

390
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:33,490
The Yearning Bond.

391
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,420
So you are missing someone.

392
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,250
What brings you here?

393
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,420
I heard you excel at crafting artifacts,

394
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,660
so I've come to ask

395
00:31:01,310 --> 00:31:03,050
if there is any artifact

396
00:31:03,710 --> 00:31:05,940
that can sense another's safety instantly,

397
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,380
and show exactly where they are.

398
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:14,210
For Lei Xiuyuan?

399
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:22,970
There is such an artifact,

400
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,490
but it only works if two people share

401
00:31:26,790 --> 00:31:27,580
sincere mutual affection.

402
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,820
What matters is the people, not the artifact.

403
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:32,620
Only two?

404
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,420
That's far too few.

405
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:37,010
Make it for three.

406
00:31:38,030 --> 00:31:38,690
Three?

407
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,380
Besides Lei Xiuyuan, who else?

408
00:31:43,510 --> 00:31:44,420
Ji Tongzhou.

409
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,340
We're like brothers, bound by unbreakable loyalty.

410
00:31:50,070 --> 00:31:51,340
The other day in the great hall,

411
00:31:51,790 --> 00:31:53,380
you risked your lives to shield one another.

412
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,290
Such devotion is truly touching.

413
00:31:59,030 --> 00:31:59,490
Very well,

414
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,490
I agree.

415
00:32:02,230 --> 00:32:05,420
Yet crafting this artifact will take time.

416
00:32:07,030 --> 00:32:08,770
But the monthly exam is almost here.

417
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,660
Can you finish it in three days?

418
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,250
Three days?

419
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:23,100
I've read over a thousand storybooks,

420
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,490
knowing all about lovers,

421
00:32:25,510 --> 00:32:26,490
mortal and immortal alike.

422
00:32:27,710 --> 00:32:28,940
I'm very familiar with the Matchmaker.

423
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,620
No matter who your beloved is,

424
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,940
I'll make sure fate ties you two together.

425
00:32:44,070 --> 00:32:45,010
Fine, three days it is.

426
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,340
What part don't you get?

427
00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:13,730
When you first start Qi refining, train lung energy first.

428
00:33:13,990 --> 00:33:19,660
Breathe leisurely, evenly, faintly, long and softly.

429
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:20,730
That's what it means.

430
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,940
Your Ladyship, these are the newly copied cultivation notes.

431
00:33:34,070 --> 00:33:34,690
You're blocking my view.

432
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,860
Move aside. You're blocking my view.

433
00:33:39,510 --> 00:33:40,490
So annoying.

434
00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:46,940
Tongzhou.

435
00:34:53,550 --> 00:34:54,220
What's this?

436
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:56,900
This…

437
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,650
Powerful spirit artifacts bear their own names.

438
00:35:02,070 --> 00:35:04,570
This place is Qianxiang room.

439
00:35:09,150 --> 00:35:09,970
Then

440
00:35:14,150 --> 00:35:16,940
this will be our exclusive artifact,

441
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:18,970
the Eternal Fragrance.

442
00:35:23,670 --> 00:35:24,130

we are bound together.

Sixteen disciples split

479
00:37:50,150 --> 00:37:51,650
into black and white sides.

00:37:52,470 --> 00:37:54,820
Victory hinges on the stone game.

481
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:00,700
Stick close to me later.

482
00:38:09,670 --> 00:38:10,380
Begin.

483
00:38:59,070 --> 00:39:00,570
With such poor adaptability,

484
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,130
their odds don't look good.

485
00:39:02,470 --> 00:39:04,820
Every move births countless shifts and scenes.

486
00:39:05,550 --> 00:39:06,860
No more than seventy percent

487
00:39:06,990 --> 00:39:08,220
