00:19:13,470 --> 00:19:13,730
Senior.

382
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:14,210
I'm fine.

383
00:19:14,230 --> 00:19:14,860
Let me see.

384
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:15,370
- I'm fine.
- Senior.

385
00:19:15,390 --> 00:19:16,410
- Your arm?
- Senior.

386
00:19:16,410 --> 00:19:17,560
You look far from fine.

387
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:18,020
I'm truly fine.

388
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,020
- Are you sure?
- I am.

389
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,130
Something's wrong with your arm.

390
00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:20,820
My arm is fine.

391
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,020
- Another illusion!
- You're hurt!

392
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,160
- Break!
- Senior, you're hurt!

393
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:23,660
Senior.

394
00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:24,980
Are you all right?

395
00:19:25,230 --> 00:19:25,890
Senior.

396
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,690
Break! Break!

397
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,340
If I can't break it, then...

398
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,370
Run!

399
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,220
What is he trying to break?

400
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,860
His words are so deep.

401
00:19:44,270 --> 00:19:45,570
Yes, a bit mystical.

402
00:19:46,070 --> 00:19:46,860
So mystical.

403
00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:51,010
Sorry, sorry.

404
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:54,570
After all,

405
00:19:54,590 --> 00:19:57,010
we were too hasty,

406
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,530
causing that mortal to lose his arm.

407
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:01,420
No, this won't do.

408
00:20:02,270 --> 00:20:04,570
We must take

409
00:20:05,030 --> 00:20:06,810
our responsibility.

410
00:20:07,030 --> 00:20:08,660
We must apologize to him.

411
00:20:09,550 --> 00:20:10,330
Moon Elder.

412
00:20:14,790 --> 00:20:15,570
Understood.

413
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,810
Stellar Dreamweaver.

414
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,090
Our dream-sending treasure.

415
00:20:26,110 --> 00:20:27,380
He's a mortal,

416
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,010
so he will sleep and rest.

417
00:20:29,030 --> 00:20:30,810
Once this mortal falls asleep,

418
00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:32,860
we'll use the power of the Dreamweaver

419
00:20:33,030 --> 00:20:35,010
to lead him here in his dream.

420
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,380
Then, you can properly apologize to him.

421
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:42,460
I apologize?

422
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:43,940
What's wrong?

423
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,140
Then... you?

424
00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:46,380
He?

425
00:20:48,030 --> 00:20:48,860
I apologize?

426
00:20:49,030 --> 00:20:50,140
Of course.

427
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,290
It must be you.

428
00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:53,860
Be sincere.

429
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,250
Got it.

430
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,810
That power is terrifying.

431
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,530
Once in a dream, I'll be defenseless.

432
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,250
I wonder which great deity it is,

433
00:21:14,270 --> 00:21:15,620
trying to ruin my cultivation.

434
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,460
But I've planned for years.

435
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,460
I can't let it all fall apart here.

436
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,620
At worst,

437
00:21:26,310 --> 00:21:27,530
I just won't sleep.

438
00:21:27,980 --> 00:21:30,920
[Half a month later]

439
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:31,730
Eastwood Duke,

440
00:21:32,310 --> 00:21:34,250
it's been half a month already.

441
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,460
This thing's been dead silent.

442
00:21:36,830 --> 00:21:38,530
Is it broken or something?

443
00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:41,460
What do you know?

444
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,940
You'd fall apart before it does.

445
00:21:47,110 --> 00:21:49,620
As long as this mortal is tired, weak,

446
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:50,860
dazed, and distracted,

447
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,380
with his mind wavering,

448
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,180
this Stellar Dreamweaver

449
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,940
can drag him into a dream instantly.

450
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,250
But then again,

451
00:21:59,270 --> 00:22:01,010
this mortal is really annoying.

452
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,180
It's already been half a month.

453
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,770
How come he hasn't slackened at all?

454
00:22:05,790 --> 00:22:08,380
Doesn't he get tired living like this?

455
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,530
It's been half a month already.

456
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,010
If we keep putting off this apology,

457
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,050
his arm will be fully healed.

458
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,530
It seems he's not destined
to get an apology.

459
00:22:17,590 --> 00:22:18,860
Not destined? We'll make it destined.

460
00:22:24,110 --> 00:22:26,330
It's the Grand Mage's blunder.

461
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,050
We must handle the aftermath properly.

462
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,220
Otherwise, it'll be our failure.

463
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,050
Whether his arm heals or not,

464
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,530
we must take responsibility.

465
00:22:38,270 --> 00:22:40,010
Alright, I'm tired too.

466
00:22:41,070 --> 00:22:42,010
I need to go back and sleep.

467
00:22:42,110 --> 00:22:43,980
No, I need to go
sort out official duties.

468
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:45,330
Keep a close watch.

469
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,860
Watch until he loosens up.

470
00:22:49,030 --> 00:22:50,180
Goodbye, Eastwood Duke.

471
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:50,980
I'll keep watch.

This place is called Tiger's Mouth.

If you're too sleepy to bear it,

474
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,620
just pinch yourself a couple of times.

475
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,490
Pinch hard.

476
00:22:58,510 --> 00:22:59,700
Ow! Ow!

477
00:23:00,270 --> 00:23:02,460
Don't worry. I'll keep a good watch.

478
00:23:03,070 --> 00:23:03,980
Rest assured.

With my Qi going on,

Have you no decency?

he won't mind

Not even a stick of incense's rest.

569
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,900
The quota for the Book
of Marriages is so high.

570
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,530
How can a little old man like me
finish it all?

571
00:27:36,790 --> 00:27:38,460
And if you can't finish,
you'll be punished.

572
00:27:38,510 --> 00:27:39,730
He never stops to think

573
00:27:39,750 --> 00:27:41,220
how absurd those quotas are, right?

574
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,010
Also,

575
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,810
nowadays,

576
00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:45,700
why do you mortals stop falling in love?

577
00:27:45,750 --> 00:27:48,010
Well, work and life pressure is huge.

578
00:27:48,030 --> 00:27:49,330
There's just no time.

579
00:27:49,350 --> 00:27:51,090
No time?

580
00:27:51,110 --> 00:27:52,220
If you don't fall in love,

581
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,490
I just can't meet my matchmaking quota.

582
00:27:54,510 --> 00:27:55,860
If I can't meet my quota,

583
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,220
Eastwood Duke will really scold me.

584
00:27:58,830 --> 00:27:59,620
Why don't you

585
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,250
just fall in love, huh?

586
00:28:02,590 --> 00:28:05,220
Alright, I understand.

587
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,220
I get you.

588
00:28:06,340 --> 00:28:06,730
Here.

589
00:28:12,030 --> 00:28:12,700
However,

590
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,220
speaking of which, Changshou,

591
00:28:16,830 --> 00:28:18,810
I've been in the Celestial Court
for ages.

592
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,180
This is the first time
someone's had a drink

593
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,490
and chatted with me.

594
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:26,420
Moon Elder,

595
00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:29,090
as long as you want,

596
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,140
I'll come to your dreams after I sleep

597
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,180
to drink with you.

598
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,860
Don't just come in your dreams.

599
00:28:37,310 --> 00:28:39,940
Take a post at the Celestial Court.

600
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,460
Come work with me.

601
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,570
How fine to drink with me face-to-face.

602
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,220
Moon Elder,

603
00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:53,290
there you go joking again.

604
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,140
The Celestial Court is so lofty.

605
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,380
I'm just a junior.

606
00:28:58,750 --> 00:29:00,050
I dare not dream of it.

607
00:29:00,070 --> 00:29:01,900
Lofty, my foot.

608
00:29:02,590 --> 00:29:04,730
Be it heaven or earth, work is work.

609
00:29:04,750 --> 00:29:05,570
Right?

610
00:29:05,790 --> 00:29:06,460
Let me tell you.

611
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,050
Some affairs

612
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,860
are beyond the control

613
00:29:11,030 --> 00:29:13,220
of the Celestial Court.

614
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,050
Why?

615
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,010
It lacks hands.

616
00:29:15,030 --> 00:29:16,900
There's too much to oversee.

617
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,420
So, it simply can't manage.

618
00:29:19,030 --> 00:29:19,570
Well,

619
00:29:20,310 --> 00:29:22,420
may I ask

620
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,620
one thing?

621
00:29:24,030 --> 00:29:27,860
What does the Celestial Court
want to control?

622
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,090
It wants to control a lot of things.

623
00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:32,730
For example, Eastwood Duke

624
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,770
has recently been worried
about one person.

625
00:29:34,790 --> 00:29:35,490
Tell me about it.

626
00:29:36,030 --> 00:29:36,810
Go on.

627
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:37,940
She's called

628
00:29:38,590 --> 00:29:39,770
Fairy Yunxiao.

629
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:42,490
Fairy Yunxiao?

630
00:29:43,590 --> 00:29:44,460
You know her?

631
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:46,860
No.

632
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,900
How could I possibly know an immortal?

633
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,140
Exactly.

634
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,220
Fairy Yunxiao is so high above.

635
00:29:53,310 --> 00:29:57,860
How could a Human Clan disciple
know her?

636
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:58,570
Yes.

637
00:29:59,310 --> 00:30:02,250
Then, tell me.

638
00:30:03,110 --> 00:30:06,220
What is Fairy Yunxiao's background?

639
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,530
Let me tell you

640
00:30:09,110 --> 00:30:11,660
about Fairy Yunxiao's

641
00:30:13,070 --> 00:30:14,980
background.

642
00:30:15,070 --> 00:30:17,050
Fairy Yunxiao

643
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,810
is the first cloud given form.

644
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,140
She was born a Quasi-Saint.

645
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,140
Then she joined the Seizing Sect

646
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,940
under Heavenreach Master,

647
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,900
known as the mightiest war goddess.

648
00:30:36,510 --> 00:30:37,620
At first,

649
00:30:37,830 --> 00:30:41,620
Fairy Yunxiao never fought for anything.

650
00:30:41,830 --> 00:30:44,180
But for some reason,

651
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,570
she's become a different person.

652
00:30:47,590 --> 00:30:50,860
She roams around plundering

653
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,620
magic instruments.

654
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,980
A lovely young girl,

655
00:30:56,270 --> 00:30:58,940
now a wicked fiend.

656
00:31:00,830 --> 00:31:01,660
Yunxiao!

657
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,220
Yunxiao!

658
00:31:05,510 --> 00:31:06,290
Yunxiao!

659
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:08,660
Senior,

660
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,090
is Yunxiao back?

661
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,810
She was just here.

662
00:31:12,310 --> 00:31:14,290
All these years, not a word.

663
00:31:14,290 --> 00:31:16,480
[Zhao Gongming, Seizing Sect]

664
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,570
Where did she go?

665
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,490
She could at least have told us.

666
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,940
I see.

667
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,980
No wonder she's so formidable.

668
00:31:29,070 --> 00:31:31,570
At first, the Celestial Court wanted

669
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,140
to curb her actions.

670
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,420
But Fairy Yunxiao

671
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,620
is elusive.

672
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:39,420
We can't find her.

673
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,420
Besides, she's too powerful.

674
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,330
She can't be tamed.

675
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,980
So, the Celestial Court let it be.

676
00:31:46,270 --> 00:31:49,180
But something's happened recently.

677
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,940
The Celestial Court had to act.

678
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:57,460
Recently,

679
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,660
Fairy Yunxiao

680
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,090
has been searching

681
00:32:04,110 --> 00:32:06,180
for the Sea-Calming Pillar.

682
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,900
The Sea-Calming Pillar?

683
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,620
Isn't that the Golden Cudgel?

684
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:11,770
What cudgel?

685
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:12,940
Who's great?

686
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:13,730
You're great.

687
00:32:14,030 --> 00:32:14,980
You misheard.

688
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,770
You might not know

689
00:32:17,790 --> 00:32:19,380
about the Sea-Calming Pillar.

690
00:32:20,110 --> 00:32:24,010
It was here before Pangu

691
00:32:24,030 --> 00:32:25,010
created the world.

692
00:32:25,310 --> 00:32:26,770
Even now, no one knows

693
00:32:26,790 --> 00:32:29,220
where the Sea-Calming Pillar
actually is.

694
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,050
In all the Three Realms,

695
00:32:32,070 --> 00:32:34,330
fewer than ten know.

696
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,620
Shouldn't it be in the East Sea?

697
00:32:39,030 --> 00:32:39,810
You know?

698
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:43,460
I guessed.

699
00:32:44,590 --> 00:32:45,620
Don't you know?

700
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:46,220
You...

701
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,420
How would I know?

702
00:32:47,790 --> 00:32:49,380
Do I look like someone

703
00:32:49,590 --> 00:32:51,090
ranked in the top ten

704
00:32:51,510 --> 00:32:52,980
of the Three Realms?

705
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,220
Why wouldn't you?

706
00:32:54,790 --> 00:32:55,940
To me, you seem

707
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,530
more like the top three.

708
00:32:59,790 --> 00:33:01,140
You sweet-talker.

709
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:07,180
Moon Elder.

710
00:33:08,030 --> 00:33:08,570
Well.

711
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:10,860
Let me boldly ask

712
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,050
another question.

713
00:33:14,790 --> 00:33:17,140
If I

714
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,700
help the Celestial Court

715
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,620
settle this Fairy Yunxiao matter,

716
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,420
would the Celestial Court then

717
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:27,940
notice me?

718
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:31,090
You're drunk.

719
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:32,460
Just kidding.

720
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,290
Starting to brag, huh?

721
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,380
If you can handle Fairy Yunxiao,

722
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,330
forget about working for me.

723
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,770
You'll just become a high immortal.

724
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,050
You'll be my boss.

725
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,010
My boss...

726
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:54,770
My boss.

727
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,610
Thirty years of effort finally paid off.

728
00:34:12,630 --> 00:34:14,380
The road ahead is bright.

729
00:34:14,630 --> 00:34:16,340
Now, I just need to head
to the East Sea,

730
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,980
find the Sea-Calming Pillar,
and guard it.

731
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,650
Then, I'll rise to the top.

732
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:24,130
What's this?

733
00:34:25,590 --> 00:34:26,460
The Tribulation Cloud?

734
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:28,530
Could it be

735
00:34:29,070 --> 00:34:30,690
Mentor's Tribulation Cloud?

736
00:34:37,150 --> 00:34:39,050
Why are there such dark clouds

737
00:34:39,070 --> 00:34:41,050
gathering above our sect?

738
00:34:41,070 --> 00:34:42,170
Who's facing the Tribulation?

739
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:44,820
Could it be

740
00:34:45,150 --> 00:34:47,300
someone's facing the Tribulation?

741
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:49,570
Here, Mentor.

742
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,050
You need all this.

743
00:34:51,710 --> 00:34:52,490
Here.

744
00:34:53,110 --> 00:34:54,130
Put them all here.

745
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:55,690
Senior,

746
00:34:55,710 --> 00:34:57,860
why not let Mentor face it
in Jade Division?

747
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,490
The Griefbane Division is
the sect's main division.

748
00:34:59,510 --> 00:35:01,490
Outside, the Protective Array
will activate.

749
00:35:01,510 --> 00:35:02,980
Maybe it can reduce
the lightning's impact.

750
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:03,420
Alright, alright.

751
00:35:04,190 --> 00:35:04,820
Here, Mentor.

752
00:35:05,590 --> 00:35:05,860
Here.

753
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:06,900
Here, Mentor, take this.

754
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,860
Take this Settlebreath Pill.

755
00:35:09,590 --> 00:35:11,420
And the Jadevoid Powder,
Dragon-Tiger Potion.

756
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:12,170
Primordial Pill.

757
00:35:12,190 --> 00:35:12,820
Open up.

758
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,210
This is a Lightning Rod.

759
00:35:14,230 --> 00:35:15,210
According to research,

760
00:35:15,230 --> 00:35:16,650
Thunderfall Wood can weaken

761
00:35:16,670 --> 00:35:17,610
the Tribulation by 36%.

762
00:35:17,630 --> 00:35:18,820
Take the Settlebreath Pill now.

763
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:19,460
Right.

764
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,780
Hurry, open wide, Mentor.

765
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,010
Chew, chew. Yes, yes.

766
00:35:24,630 --> 00:35:26,610
What are you doing to me?

767
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,300
Helping you survive the Tribulation!

768
00:35:36,630 --> 00:35:37,460
Despite all our planning,

769
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,530
your Tribulation Clouds came so soon.

770
00:35:39,550 --> 00:35:41,610
Good thing we were well-prepared.

771
00:35:44,150 --> 00:35:45,300
Mentor, don't worry.

772
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,490
These items on you

773
00:35:46,510 --> 00:35:47,740
will shield you
from five lightning strikes.

774
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,380
- Yes, and this.
- I got a birdcage too.

775
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:49,820
At worst...

776
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,460
Are you the mentor, or am I?

777
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:54,980
Mentor...

778
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:55,860
Mentor...

779
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:01,860
I know you're worried about me.

780
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,570
I understand your intentions.

781
00:36:05,230 --> 00:36:07,170
But the Tribulation is a pivotal trial.

782
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,090
I must endure it with my body

783
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,090
to bear each bolt of thunder.

784
00:36:15,110 --> 00:36:16,820
Only then can I gain Fate's recognition.

785
00:36:17,710 --> 00:36:20,780
Only then can I say

786
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,490
that I am a true cultivator.

787
00:36:25,030 --> 00:36:25,940
But Mentor...

788
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:26,570
I know.

789
00:36:28,670 --> 00:36:29,940
I know you are afraid.

790
00:36:31,550 --> 00:36:32,690
I'm afraid too.

791
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,490
When thunder strikes,

792
00:36:38,710 --> 00:36:39,940
my end will be decided.

793
00:36:43,110 --> 00:36:45,090
I'm not afraid of failing the trial.

794
00:36:46,590 --> 00:36:47,570
I'm afraid of...

795
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,210
I'm afraid that if I never return,

796
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,820
how you two rascals

797
00:37:03,630 --> 00:37:05,420
will carry on alone.

798
00:37:10,230 --> 00:37:11,010
Mentor.

799
00:37:15,070 --> 00:37:17,090
Whether I live or die,

800
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,260
it is all the heavenly mandate.

801
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,780
We must face the heavenly mandate,

802
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,260
instead of resorting to heterodox ways.

803
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,860
This is a cultivator's righteous heart.

804
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,380
This is also

805
00:37:35,590 --> 00:37:37,210
my final lesson for you.

806
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:39,570
Changshou.

807
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:40,650
I'm here.

808
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,300
Take good care of your junior.

809
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,340
Don't let her suffer again.

810
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,780
I'll be back soon.

811
00:37:50,510 --> 00:37:51,650
If I don't return,

812
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,050
on festive days,

813
00:37:56,030 --> 00:37:57,900
light a stick of incense for me.

814
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,170
When the incense burns out
and smoke curls,

815
00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:09,530
it's me coming to see you.

816
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:11,300
Mentor,

817
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:15,340
I obey.

818
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,690
Kids, look.

819
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:27,740
I never thought

820
00:38:28,710 --> 00:38:31,050
my Tribulation Cloud

821
00:38:31,230 --> 00:38:33,860

You don't understand.

851

It's been so long since we last met.

852
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,460
The Human Clan is so polite.

853
00:41:32,590 --> 00:41:35,210
It warms my heart.

854
00:41:45,070 --> 00:41:46,980
