The Wu and Yao Clans fell,

00:00:18,550 --> 00:00:20,330
while humans and dragons rose.

4
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,850
Such was the Primordial Era.

5
00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:26,210
The six ancient races fought endlessly.

6
00:00:26,350 --> 00:00:29,420
Humans won and ruled the world.

12

You put her to sleep,

13
00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:47,770

22
00:00:58,430 --> 00:00:59,260

26
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,620
Yes, yes, yes.

27
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,260
Why write all that down?

28
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,490
That's what I was thinking.

29
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,770

of the Pureheaven Sect,

30
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,210

which are the Refining Stage,

34
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,290
the Ascension Stage, the Reversion Stage,
and the Reunion Stage.

35
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,210
Each stage has nine phases.

36
00:01:26,430 --> 00:01:29,770
Each phase is fraught with perils.

37
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,410
Perils.

38
00:01:31,430 --> 00:01:34,130
Talent, will, and fortune
are all essential.

41
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:42,820
After that, one may face
the Tribulation.

42
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,540
If they survive,
they'll become immortals.

43
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,850
This is further divided

44
00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:50,130
into Primal Immortal, Verity Immortal,
Celestial Immortal, and Aureate Immortal.

45
00:01:50,150 --> 00:01:52,740
In all of Ascendance Sect,

46
00:01:53,070 --> 00:01:54,130
few have reached

47
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,490
such a realm.

48
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,850
Patience, patience.

49
00:02:00,430 --> 00:02:02,020

50
00:02:02,350 --> 00:02:02,850
Alright.

00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,180

52
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,660

was calling for me.

So, I'm a formal disciple now?

72

The reason
my cultivation stayed the same

686

00:32:16,590 --> 00:32:17,330
Come here quickly.

758
00:32:20,830 --> 00:32:21,730
I'm Yuwen Ling.

759
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,090
Greetings, Young Master Yuan Qing.

760
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:24,490
Greetings, Your Highness.

761
00:32:27,830 --> 00:32:28,570
Rise.

762
00:32:34,510 --> 00:32:36,330
Anshui City is part of Donglin Kingdom.

763
00:32:36,510 --> 00:32:38,090
And Xuanya's mortal identity

764
00:32:38,110 --> 00:32:40,660
is the Sixth Princess
of Donglin Kingdom.

765
00:32:41,030 --> 00:32:42,660
How do you know so clearly?

766
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,290
I'm the fourth son
of the Senior Grandee.

767
00:32:45,350 --> 00:32:47,010
I've known her since childhood.

768
00:32:47,510 --> 00:32:50,090
No wonder you're always after her.

769
00:32:50,270 --> 00:32:51,900
So, you're childhood sweethearts.

770
00:32:52,110 --> 00:32:53,090
I have affection,

771
00:32:53,750 --> 00:32:55,140
but she has none.

772
00:32:58,510 --> 00:32:59,530
I didn't call them here.

773
00:33:00,070 --> 00:33:01,490
We're seeking immortality.

774
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,250
You idlers shouldn't meddle.

775
00:33:03,270 --> 00:33:04,460
Even if Her Highness forbids it,

776
00:33:05,270 --> 00:33:06,940
I won't stand idly by.

777
00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:09,490
These ten are our elite.

778
00:33:09,510 --> 00:33:10,860
Each is a match for ten thousand.

779
00:33:16,110 --> 00:33:16,900
What did you just say?

780
00:33:17,110 --> 00:33:17,860
I didn't catch that.

781
00:33:34,350 --> 00:33:35,220
Truly impressive.

782
00:33:38,030 --> 00:33:40,490
I alone match ten thousand.

783
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,810
You can't beat me.

784
00:33:42,550 --> 00:33:43,530
Look at me.

785
00:33:43,550 --> 00:33:47,180
I alone match ten thousand.

786
00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:48,660
Alright, alright.

787
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:50,620
Go put on clothes.

788
00:33:51,790 --> 00:33:52,460
Truly impressive.

789
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,180
Bring the clothes.

790
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:57,460
Aunt,

791
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:58,570
he cultivates too.

792
00:33:58,720 --> 00:33:59,730
And he's very strong.

793
00:34:00,550 --> 00:34:01,570
Stronger than all of you.

794
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,810
With a mortal post,

795
00:34:04,830 --> 00:34:06,940
he's even a Primordial Immortal.

796
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:08,860
Interesting.

797
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:10,820
If you can keep up,

798
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,170
then follow us.

799
00:34:23,180 --> 00:34:27,580
[Miasma Grove]

800
00:34:28,070 --> 00:34:30,690
Miasma fills the grove;
beasts lurk around.

801
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,530
No sword flight allowed here.

802
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,860
The miasma will suppress your powers.

803
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,010
This trial lasts seven days.

804
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,860
No early departure.

805
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,490
Give it your all.

806
00:34:40,510 --> 00:34:42,940
I'll patrol the perimeter.

807
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,490
If you face insurmountable danger,

808
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,050
crush the Message Jade.

809
00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:49,690
I'll descend from the sky

810
00:34:49,710 --> 00:34:50,900
to rescue you.

811
00:34:52,110 --> 00:34:55,610
As for this brave warrior...

812
00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,530
Me?

813
00:34:59,550 --> 00:35:00,260
Who else?

814
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,050
Understood.

815
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:03,650
I will stand guard here.

816
00:35:03,670 --> 00:35:04,860
Awaiting your triumph, Your Highness.

817
00:35:05,190 --> 00:35:05,860
Alright.

818
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,420
I won't have to tie you up.

819
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,530
You'd have to be able to tie me up.

820
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,050
General Yuwen, rest assured.

821
00:35:10,070 --> 00:35:11,570
I'll risk my life

822
00:35:12,150 --> 00:35:14,010
to keep Xuanya safe.

823
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,530
You must be careful.

824
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,690
Miasma Grove is full
of demons and beasts.

825
00:35:19,710 --> 00:35:20,690
It's extremely dangerous.

826
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:22,530
You must be cautious.

827
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:43,940
No, no, no. Don't be afraid.

828
00:35:44,630 --> 00:35:45,420
It's all right.

829
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,010
Ahead lies the Grove's depths.

830
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:52,740
Everyone, be extremely careful.

831
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,980
Get your magic instruments ready.

832
00:35:57,510 --> 00:35:58,130
Be careful.

833
00:35:58,550 --> 00:35:58,940
Let's go.

834
00:35:58,960 --> 00:35:59,460
Careful.

835
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,570
Isn't Miasma Grove
supposed to be dangerous?

836
00:36:19,150 --> 00:36:20,170
Along the way,

837
00:36:20,670 --> 00:36:21,820
let alone demons,

838
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,090
we haven't even seen a mosquito.

839
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,780
Aside from the oppressive foul aura,

840
00:36:28,150 --> 00:36:30,460
it's not as perilous as Aunt said.

841
00:36:33,230 --> 00:36:34,010
Everyone,

842
00:36:34,710 --> 00:36:36,170
this place is safe for now.

843
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,650
Let's part ways for now.

844
00:36:38,070 --> 00:36:38,980
Let's each seek secret treasures.

845
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:39,780
Alright.

846
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:42,610
Xuanya, be careful.

847
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:56,940
Senior, are you alright?

848
00:36:58,110 --> 00:36:58,940
Are you alright?

849
00:37:01,510 --> 00:37:02,780
Though no demons or beasts are here,

850
00:37:03,590 --> 00:37:05,130
there's still miasma poison.

851
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:06,570
We must not let our guard down.

852
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:08,090
Xuanya,

853
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,210
we should go together.

854
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,690
That way, we can look out
for each other.

855
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,130
Wang Qi and I

856
00:37:19,150 --> 00:37:20,740
will head north for plants.

857
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,050
We won't disturb you then.

858
00:37:22,630 --> 00:37:23,610
Senior Changshou?

859
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,460
This path is far too dangerous.

860
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:28,900
It's beyond my level.

861
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,050
I'll take this path.

862
00:37:32,070 --> 00:37:32,780
- Farewell.
- Senior.

863
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,420
See you outside.

864
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:39,860
In such a perilous place,

865
00:37:40,110 --> 00:37:41,690
Senior Changshou goes alone,

866
00:37:41,710 --> 00:37:42,860
unwilling to burden others.

867
00:37:43,230 --> 00:37:45,570
His courage is truly rare.

868
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,010
This trial will last seven days.

869
00:37:52,030 --> 00:37:53,570
No one may leave early.

870
00:37:53,670 --> 00:37:54,300
When they run

871
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,460
into trouble they cannot handle,

872
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,300
they will crush the Message Jade.

873
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:58,900
Then, Jiu Jiu will descend

874
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,050
to rescue them.

875
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,740
Is that clear to all of you?

876
00:38:05,150 --> 00:38:05,940
Remember.

877
00:38:06,150 --> 00:38:08,420
This time, your targets are

878
00:38:09,630 --> 00:38:11,300
everyone here for the trial.
