(Episode 29)

You three should depart as well.

Yes, Grandmistress.

Yes, Grandmistress.

Wait!

Please allow me to follow you guys to Yinlian Sect.

Su Guan, you don't need to...

Sect Leader knows that I'm an expert in pills and elixirs.

Yinlian Sect is filled with miasma and poison.

If I join you guys, I can help prevent injuries.

I have no time for this.

When are we departing?

All of you can come with us.

This is Bai Jiu Si's sword.

Now, I'll entrust it to you.

The Infinite Stele can only be destroyed

when Sunseeker and Qiyue Sword are placed together.

You and I will take one each

so that Xiao Jing Shan won't be able to get them in one go.

Bai Jiu Si's safety concerns the barrier of the Infinite Stele.

I'll take him with me.

Be careful back in the sect.

Yes, Master.

Master, you may relay a message to me anytime if you need anything.

Wait.

I've heard about what happened from Master.

I will follow you.

If you refuse, I'll tail you in secret.

You!

Me too, Grandmistress.

You know that I excel at weapon forging.

Even if I don't have any powers, it'll be easier for us to locate

the artifacts that had trapped their souls.

All right. Let's go.

Scram!

You still can't escape from your fate, huh?

You're a spirit beast. You're highly perceptive.

I'm sure you know that there's no escaping this calamity.

Greetings, Grandmistress.

Greetings, Grandmistress.

Greetings, Grandmistress.

Grandmistress.

Grandmistress.

Greetings, Grandmistress.

You're here.

Where's my martial senior?

Zi Yang has other things to attend to.

What's the situation over here?

All of them fell into a coma at the same time.

I’ve tried every soul-calling techniques

and all kinds of elixirs, but to no avail.

It didn't help at all.

If this continues for one more day, I'm afraid they'll...

Ling Er, have you made any discoveries?

Even if Xiao Jing Shan was a weapon-forging prodigy,

it's extremely difficult to forge an artifact

that can abduct this many souls at once.

I think he forged the artifact beforehand.

Zhang Suan, scan the surroundings with your spiritual power.

If there's an artifact nearby, it'll surely react to your power.

All right.

Dear, I'm here.

I'll protect you.

Everyone, long time no see.

My dear disciple, you're trying to kill your master here.

I don't think that's appropriate.

Who do you think you are? How dare you address yourself as my master?

Forget it. I won't hold it against you

since you're still young.

Zhang Suan.

That's his shadow clone. It's pointless to attack it.

The mighty Venerable Grandmaster has ended up as such, huh?

Isn't it better for him to die?

Xiao Jing Shan,

you forsook your path, practiced demonic arts, and wielded cursed weapons.

It'll devour you eventually.

Even if you have a celestial body, it cannot last for long.

I don't seek immortality.

I just need to achieve my goal before I die.

What exactly are you up to?

I just don't want you to waste your time here.

I'm here to give you a friendly reminder.

I did abduct all of their souls.

Stele of Joy, the stele that houses their souls,

is at the foot of the mountain just ten li away.

- Stele of Joy? - That's right.

You guessed it.

It's almost the same as the Infinite Stele.

As for why I named it as such, you'll know when you arrive there.

Grandmistress, it's obvious that he has an ulterior motive.

You mustn't fall for his trap.

Indeed. This is a trap that I've laid.

As to whether or not you guys want to come,

that'll depend on you.

Xiao Jing Shan,

I saw the illusory realm you created with the Infinite Stele.

I've learned what happened to your family as well.

The Lei Bird brought calamity upon the world.

Your family was implicated by accident

when Yuan Cheng Hua was dealing with it.

I can understand why you're angry at Master Qing Xu.

Now, he has already met his end as an immortal.

It's pointless even if you destroy the Infinite Stele now.

It's easy for you to say.

The sword energy from Yuan Cheng Hua's sword

caused our house to catch on fire.

What gives him the right to have his name carved on the Infinite Stele?

The local authorities and Xuan Heaven do nothing about him, an evil-doer.

If so, I'll take things into my own hands.

It's not that the Xuan Heaven does nothing about him.

After Yuan Cheng Hua tamed the Lei Bird,

he voluntarily accepted fifty years of divine punishment.

After that, he died in the Immortal-Demon War to protect the three realms.

That's why his name was carved...

So what?

My family and my friends, a total of five lives were lost.

I merely wanted to remove one of their names.

But I was imprisoned for 500 years!

I attained enlightenment while I was imprisoned.

That's why I started practicing the demonic arts.

Heaven is cruel. I cannot change that.

If so, I can only destroy it.

So, you're bent on destroying the Infinite Stele no matter what.

Four Spirits Grandmistress, you should think about the people around you.

After all, I've observed you and Bai Jiu Si for centuries.

I know your weaknesses

all too well.

Dear.

Our so-called "weaknesses" might end up protecting us instead.

Let's wait and see, then.

Are you afraid?

Someone's coming.

We'll know who's the timid one

when the time comes.

Be careful.

Man, what's wrong?

Usually, our sect members will keep watch over this forest.

But I saw no one on our way here.

If so, we have to be more careful.

Watch out!

What is this?

These are the Snake Vines that were grown by us

to deter any potential invaders.

Logically speaking, it wouldn't attack us if we didn't attack it.

Seems like someone has been expecting us.

We have to be extra careful.

Yes, Master.

My mother will be fine, right?

Man, don't worry.

We'll definitely rescue your mother.

Everything that's happening right now might just be our assumption.

The situation might not be as bad as we think.

Don't panic for now.

Let's go.

Lass, which path should we take?

I don't know.

You don't even know the path to Yinlian Sect?

It wasn't like this before.

These two paths automatically shift every now and then.

The path filled with fog can be passed safely

as long as we don't use any spiritual power.

The path with no fog usually leads to a poison swamp.

That path is filled with danger.

For some reason, all of the paths are filled with fog.

Seems like we have to test them out ourselves.

I'll lead the way.

How could you lead the way when your master is here?

- But Master... - Cover the rear.

Look after them.

Yes, Master.

What's going on?

Where's Martial Senior Long Yuan?

I'm not sure either.

Someone had broken the seal on the Prison Burial.

Now, all of the demonic beasts had escaped.

Long Yuan is protecting Canglei Hall.

He told me to keep an eye on the Infinite Stele on Tianmu Peak.

The Infinite Stele is protected by a barrier cast by Venerable Grandmaster.

No one can touch the Infinite Stele as long as he's safe.

Although that's the case, judging from Master's previous condition,

who knows what might happen?

Better to be safe than sorry.

You guys can keep guard over here.

I'll find Martial Brother Long Yuan.

All right.

Grandmistress,

are you sure you want to leave?

Xiao Jing Shan has abducted hundreds of souls just to lure me out.

Naturally, I won't let those innocent souls be implicated.

But you're taking him with you.

The Infinite Stele's barrier will be intact as long as he's safe.

I have to take him with me to prevent Xiao Jing Shan

from targeting him when I'm not around.

I'm an expert at weapon forging.

You have to depend on me to destroy Xiao Jing Shan's Stele of Joy.

Martial Uncle, Xiao Jing Shan imparted his skills to me.

I can wield the artifacts and weapons he makes.

Seems like I'm the only useless one here.

Useless.

Stay here and keep an eye on the unconscious. Keep them safe.

Wait for me to bring their souls back.

Yes, Grandmistress.

Let's go.

Time to go.

So pretty.

Xiao Jing Shan is doing this to achieve his goal. I don't think he'll lie.

Have you guys managed to locate the Stele of Joy?

The spiritual power inside me is reacting to something.

Something's off about this place.

This must surely be the entrance.

Bai Jiu Si!

Dear.

Let's go and take a look.

Take a look. It's very solid.

- This is nice. - You can have it.

All right.

Where are we?

I like this very much.

Where are my flowers?

You're early today.

This is pretty nice.

- Of course. - Let's go.

I'm way faster than you.

You're such a slow walker.

You can make the call on trivial things like this from now on.

Sister, what do you think about this color?

It's so nice. I want it too.

- I'll take them. - All right.

You should take all of them.

The Divine Lord is here!

The Divine Lord is here!

- The Divine Lord is here! - Let's hurry!

Quickly!

- The Divine Lord is here! - Hurry!

He's here!

- Hurry! - The Divine Lord is here.

Over here!

Greetings, Divine Lord!

Greetings, Divine Lord!

Grandmistress.

The Divine Lord is here! Why aren't you guys kneeling?

You guys will be punished for this!

That's right! Why aren't you guys kneeling?

Hurry and kneel!

Kneel!

- Divine Lord! - Greetings, Divine Lord!

Greetings, Divine Lord!

Greetings, Divine Lord!

- Divine Lord! - Divine Lord!

It's fine.

How is it?

What do you think about the name "Stele of Joy"?

Sect Leader, Chu,

this is the antidote.

We should consume this in advance just in case anything happens.

You should have some too.

No way am I taking the medicine you made.

Who knows what's inside?

I grew up here. I won't die from the poison.

All right. Let's go.

Watch out!

Do not use your spiritual power no matter what.

The fog here counters one's spiritual power.

If you use it, you'll sustain serious injuries.

Hurry and think of something, then!

I!

Man!

Chu!

Man, what are you doing?

I don't know if this'll work. Let me give it a try.

Watch out!

My mother once fed these plants with her blood.

They do still recognize our blood.

Let's go.

You got away easy this time.

Focus your mind. Keep your ears closed.

There's something off about the bell.

Martial Senior, where's my mother?

Don't go there. Look at their eyes.

Martial Senior, look at me. I'm Man.

Don't hurt him! He's my eldest martial senior!

Chu!

Qu Xing Man!

You don't allow us to kill them!

Do you expect them to kill us, then?

Master, stop using your spiritual power!

Clear the heart, release the spirit,

break!

Sect Leader!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Chu, don't worry.

I'll definitely help you to locate your master.

How dare small fries like you all cause trouble in Canglei Hall?

Martial Senior!

Martial Senior.

You should save your spiritual power.

I don't need this yet.

All of these are ferocious beasts that have been trapped for centuries.

With our powers, I'm afraid we cannot deal with them.

I've already instructed Pu Yuan to notify everyone.

Let's just hold on for as long as we can.

We mustn't let these beasts escape.

We mustn't let them ruin the main hall as well.

How is it?

Is it good or bad?

I want to try it too.

Didn't you guys say that we're performing divination

to see if those who had left could capture Xiao Jing Shan successfully?

How's the result?

This is a 'No' from the gods. All three throws indicate misfortune.

That means those who are in pursuit of Xiao Jing Shan will be in danger.

That won't do.

Nothing must happen to Grandmaster and Grandmistress.

Should we go and help them out?

Do they know that you've abducted their souls here?

Abduct?

Don't make it sound so evil.

They're leading the lives they desire.

They couldn't be more thankful to me.

Constructing a fake world

and becoming a fake god,

is that what you desire?

I don't care about that at all.

I've gone through all this trouble because of you.

- Because of me? - I want you to know

what it means to truly have the will of the people

and what a flawless ideal nation look like

rather than a so-called "redemption" born out of arrogance.

You and your nonsense.

Who are you guys? How dare you speak with His Lordship in that manner?

That's right! His Lordship is the best!

That's right! Without him,

I would still be a cripple!

Stop framing him!

His Lordship provided me with wealth!

I didn't need to seek shelter constantly

and beg for food on the streets!

How dare you guys slander His Lordship?

- What gives? - That's right!

His Lordship is the best!

Why are you guys slandering him?

Yeah!

You have no spiritual power. Do not act recklessly.

You guys are the ones spouting nonsense here!

Xiao Jing Shan,

what exactly are you up to?

Heaven is cruel and heartless.

No matter if it's mortals or immortals,

most of them act out of self-interest.

This is just a small test.

We should make the current world as perfect as this fantasy realm.

Isn't that great?

Four Spirits, you know that this world is filled with imperfection.

Why aren't you daring enough to overturn the current order

and establish a new one that everyone is satisfied with?

You know this well.

The ideal world we seek is the same.

It's easy for you to say.

How can you reestablish the order?

You think you can do it just by yourself?

Of course not.

Once all living beings develop to a certain phase,

they'll face an extinction event.

That's the Annihilation of All-Laws.

We can only conform to it and allow it to happen.

Only with destruction can one be reborn anew.

Is that why you're trying to destroy the Infinite Stele?

Stop trying to fish information out of me.

I'll give you one last chance.

Do you wish to join me?

If you do, I'll spare the people around you

and all of your sect members.

Xiao Jing Shan, you're starting to deceive yourself now.

If it was that easy to convince me,

you wouldn't need to spend hundreds of years

setting me and Bai Jiu Si up so that we could turn on each other.

I don't need you to spare my sect members.

They can protect themselves.

Everyone,

someone is going against your divine lord.

They don't want you to enjoy your current life.

What should we do with them?

They're trying to harm us! We have to resist them!

- That's right! - Yeah!

Since they're slandering our divine lord, they must be evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Four Spirits, you were always proud and aloof.

I want to see

if you're willing to rescue these selfish people.

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Da Bao, Xiao Bao, what are you guys doing?

Chu, do your best to avoid their blood and fangs.

They contain lethal toxin.

Even cultivators won't be able to defend themselves against it.

No wonder people say that your sect was a demonic sect.

What's with all the toxin and ferocious beasts here?

Are you okay?

Man.

You scoundrel. Who said you could take my mother's throne?

So, you were the one controlling the sect members and snakes.

Have you held the sect leader of Yinlian Sect and my master captive?

- Master! - Sect Leader!

Mother!

Mother?

What have you done?

Nothing. I just made them obedient.

You see, I'm giving you guys a chance.

I'm giving you guys a chance to leave this place alive.

Silly girl.

Why would I appear here with my real body?

Xiao Jing Shan, what exactly are you up to?

I'm giving you guys a choice here.

Between the sect leaders of Jingyun Sect and Yinlian Sect,

whom do you wish to keep alive?

Whom do you wish to kill?

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Hand over the grain!

Hand over the grain!

Beat her to death!

Burn her to death!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Qing Yue, hurry and leave!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Get rid of the evil entities!

Dear, are you okay?

Get rid of the evil entities!

Let's go.

Get rid of the evil entities!

- Where are they? - Where did they go?

Man!

- Master! - Mother!

Sect Leader.

It's simple.

The sect leader of Jingyun Sect is like your second father.

But the sect leader of Yinlian Sect is the mother of your beloved.

I wish to know your choice.

So long as you three speak with one voice,

the person you chose may live.

If not, they shall die.

Why should we play your game?

Stop! Hurry and stop!

Don't worry.

I'm a man of my word.

If I say I'll let one of them live, that's what I'll do.

You guys won't be able to kill me.

However, I can kill them.

Give it a try if you don't believe me.

No need for that.

- Mother! - Stop crying.

You better stop crying.

Stop embarrassing me in front of outsiders.

At most, it's just death.

There's nothing to fear.

Mother, I don't want you to die.

Meng Chu.

I was careless.

That's why he was able to capture me.

Promise me

that you'll look after them.

- Don't do this. - Sect Leader.

You old stick-in-the-mud,

why do you get to be the hero all the time?

I don't fear death either.

How is it?

What's your choice?

If you don't choose, both will die.

If none of you is willing to choose, I will.

I choose to keep our sect leader alive.

Su Guan!

Sect Leader, I'll accept any punishment you give me.

I just don't want anything to happen to you.

What about you two?

Meng Chu,

unsheathe your sword!

I don't want to die at the hands of this scum!

You despicable scum.

You could only resort to such lowly tricks since you couldn't defeat us.

The members of Jingyun Sect are not yours to command!

Master!

Meng Chu.

Remember what I said.

Master, don't do it!

- Sect Leader! - Master!

It's fun to fight!

Why didn't anyone tell me that there was a fight here?

Yeah!

We could only rush here upon hearing the commotion ourselves.

It's my first time fighting demonic beasts.

This is interesting!

Where are they?

Martial Senior, the venerables of the four realms said they were busy.

What a waste of our time.

I knew that they were unreliable.

Even a piece of rock is better than them.

Who are you insulting?

- Martial Senior! - Martial Senior!

Martial Senior.

It's just an arm.

It's not that big of a deal.

I'll cover you. You should leave.

You can't do anything when you're here anyway.

I can.

Save your breath!

Just leave already!

Go and find Master.

Someone has to stay alive and serve him.

Martial Senior, don't do it.

Martial Senior!

Martial Senior!

Let me in!

Martial Senior!

Do you guys fear death?

- No! - No!

- No! - No!

To me,

this is just like an ant bite.

That's right. To me, it's just like a mosquito bite.

We just arrived here not long ago.

We haven't had enough of fighting yet!

Great.

Let's fight them until the end.

We mustn't let them disrespect Canglei Hall!

Hong Lian.

Look. Such a huge event has occurred

right after I acquired my celestial form.

Martial Brother and I come from the same sect and source.

I cannot dispel the barrier he cast.

Can you do it?

Isn't it obvious?

I've lived for almost a millennium, you know?

This barrier is nothing to me.

If so, can you send me inside?

Martial Brother is seriously wounded. He won't last for long.

You want to go inside? Sure.

Give me a kiss,

and I'll take you inside.

That was just a joke.

The water in the Jade Pool was super pure.

Now, all of the impurities in my mind have been purged.

Let's go.

Let's go and help your senior, who once wanted to take my life.

Let's just say I'm returning the favor.

Thank you.
