[The Taoism Grandmaster]

[Episode 11]

This morning we had a narrow escape from the City of No Tears.

Now, we're actually in the city.

It's just like dreaming for a thousand years.

A dream of thousands of years in exchange for this city without tears

but only happiness. It's a sweet dream indeed.

Well, tears running dry is without tears, too.

All right. Let it go.

We came here to enjoy our time.

You three!

Why are you walking so fast?

I didn't see you earlier.

Where were you just now?

Well, we're hungry.

This afternoon, Qianqiu treated us to two special eggs.

So, we're late.

But you are later.

We're waiting for the girls.

But finally, we can't wait.

So we decided to have some wine first.

- Where are the others? - They are inside.

So, why are we just standing here? Let's go!

Let's go!

♫ Covering up one's infatuated thoughts ♫

♫ Suddenly recalling our first meeting ♫

♫ Peach blossom rain covers the sky ♫

♫ Affection that cannot be severed, still in a mess ♫

♫ Eternally swirling in the air, cutting off the fate to be together ♫

- Look. It's great. - Yeah. It's good.

How come the City of No Tears tonight is different than it used to be?

Indeed.

The landlady of Wine's World is over there. We can ask her.

- Okay. - Let's go.

Boss Lady.

Handsome guys.

I've heard you have become the 49 competitors.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Boss Lady, why are there are so many people tonight?

Tonight is the autumn worship ceremony of the City of No Tears.

The autumn worship ceremony?

That is the day a thousand years ago when the First Cleansing War happened, right?

Exactly.

A thousand years ago, the Phantom World slew all the people in the City of No Tears

to declare war on the Three Realms.

Well, on the day after a thousand years, the worship ceremony is not only for celebrating the harvest,

but also symbolizing the arrival of a new start.

Quite a coincidence. Today, is our new start, too.

We'll join you to celebrate together.

It's my pleasure.

It's the Rite of Flowers,

which can purify the land and our minds, and bless everything.

♫ Affection that cannot be severed, still in a mess ♫

♫ Eternally swirling in the air, cutting off the fate to be together ♫

♫ Separated by a confusing path, I still will accompany you ♫

♫ To experience the sadness and happiness in this world ♫

♫ Innumerable love, hate, ending, gathering, and separation ♫

The girls are here! They're coming!

♫ So many farewells that it is very hard to stay together ♫

♫ Nonstop tears are like clouds and smoke passing by one's eyes ♫

♫ Only then did I suddenly know what love is ♫

First Senior.

First Senior!

I'd thought you'd missed

the most beautiful moment of this city.

The moment when we're here is the most beautiful moment of this city,

is it not?

Ladies and gentlemen, come and dance!

Dancing? My teacher didn't teach me that.

It's easy to learn.

- Come here. - Let's go.

- Let's dance.- Let's dance.

Let's dance.

- I can't dance.- Let's go.- Let's dance.

- Great!- It's good!

Great tune indeed, but the musicians are disappointing.

Eldest Brother, why not join them?

Good idea. Let's go.

I didn't think the passion of young people could attract your interest, Castellan Qiye.

This city hasn't been this happy for a long time.

Exactly. Young people's passion is always so attractive.

Too bad.

Too bad?

All of this is just like Samsara

because happiness will disappear in the end.

This lonely city will be covered in blood again.

You mean, we will lose the Second Cleansing

and they will die?

Tonight...

is their last night.

[Wine's World]

- Go! Go!- Come on!

- Go! Go!- Come on!

Senior! Go!

Eldest Senior wins!

Great!

I lost.

I'll drink up the jar of wine.

Changfeng, pour me some wine.

Me, too.

Okay. My good buddies.

And me.

Though I won, I'd like to drink with you.

Good. So, where are my other buddies?

- Me.- It's me.

Good!

Let's enjoy our night!

- Cheers!- Cheers!

Older Brother, toasting you in becoming the Righteous Path Seeker.

It's still too early.

No.

We believe in you.

- Cheers.- Cheers.

- Cheers.- Cheers.

Subtitles and Timing brought to youThe Taoism Grandmasters Team @Viki

We're out of wine!

Bring some here!

- Anyone here?- Enough.

I'll go.

Toast to you.

For forgiveness?

Certainly not.

You tried to kill my brother to pass the last trial.

Don't you think you owe us an apology?

If you were me,

I believe you'd do the same, just like me.

Be frank.

Tell me.

Would you have made the same decision?

So, why do you toast me?

For your tune.

It's beautiful.

Of course.

Young Master.

Where are you going?

I'm going to drink with Mei Kongyun.

With her?

She's over there.

Oh...

It's okay, I'm here. I can drink with you.

That's good, too.

Celebrating in us officially becoming competitors.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

You're drunk?

A little.

But I can still manage.

I'm drunk.

So, why do you still hold the wine jar?

What?

Guess what I am thinking about?

Why should I guess?

I want to see if you're really clever or not.

You're drunk.

If you get the wrong answer, you'll drink it.

But if I'm right?

I'll drink it.

Okay.

You're thinking that it would be good if this city could be

full of happiness of joy like this every day.

You can be with the man you love,

have a family here.

How good will that be?

So, who should drink it?

How did you know?

Because...

it's what I'm thinking, too.

They're over there.

My teammate, they want to have a drink with us.

Yes. Without you, we might have lost the battle.

So, we must toast you.

Not at all, Kun Lun.

Without your help in the last trial, I would have died.

We must have this drink.

Cheers!

Cheers.

Cheers.

Greetings, Queen Dowager.

Everyone has gathered in the sealed border,

and the Presbyter of Wind is going to break the seal soon

to send our Vanguard Army into the mortal world.

I'm ready.

Scared?

I just can't sense yet

who the possible righteous path seeker is. I disappointed you.

You have the Demonic Purple Eyes,

which can find the righteous path seeker.

This proves that there's something predestined

between you and the Righteous Path Seeker.

Just follow what has been predestined.

This is seven drops of blood, a product of my long-standing cultivation.

When you need to contact me, drop one.

But remember, it can just be used seven times.

Use it when it's necessary.

I see.

Liuli, you look confused.

I don't know.

Is it because you shed tears for Zhang Ling?

Elemental foxes never shed tears,

unless...

Unless you have fallen in love with him.

Not like that.

I just think he's an interesting person.

Everything he does is always unexpected.

Matters that I need to use the Thousand Destinies first to calculate,

he could figure it out just in a daze.

But I don't know why I shed tears for him.

Is this the mortals' so-called love?

Love...

doesn't differ whether it's a mortal or a wolf.

No. I once tried the Thousand Destines to figure it out but I still can't understand.

What did you find out then?

Thousand Destinies said...

I would understand love when I lost it.

You'll understand when you lose it?

Someone said

that when you realize the essence of love,

it's the moment you lose it.

And when it leaves you,

all creations also leave you at that same moment.

And when you're against the Three Realms to avoid not losing it,

not caring if you end up in hell

or turning into dust;

perhaps, you can realize the essence of love

from such hardship.

Oh, that's too crazy.

Maybe.

But remember, you must not forget your mission when you reach the mortal realm.

Never be that crazy person.

But what should I do if I really become crazy?

If you become crazy, I can't stop you.

Queen Dowager, it's time.

The four presbyters are awaiting.

I see.

Liuli, it's time to go.

Take it easy.

You'll make it.

I believe in you.

Where's Bai Qianji?

She is packing up her luggage and will come soon.

Queen Dowager. My Masters.

Why did you bring the Bloody Pond Cell?

This is my luggage.

I've been confined in this cell for thousands of years.

I'm used to sleeping in it.

So I've made some adjustments and plan to take it to the mortal realm as my den.

Have you asked us for permission?

Can I ask for permission now?

I can't sleep well without this metal object.

Can I...

Okay. Let it go.

Don't make more trouble.

Thank you. Master Laugh.

Master Laugh, this ring is extraordinary, isn't it?

Of course.

This is the Phantom Ring which symbolizes the highest military leadership of the Phantom World.

Really?

So beautiful. I want one, too.

Presbyter of Wind will sacrifice himself

to break the barrier and let you enter the mortal realm.

You're the last hope of the Phantom World.

Your mission is, at all costs,

to stop the appearance of the Righteous Path Seeker.

Bai Qianji, will be your leader.

Her words are our words. Get it?

Yes!

Ready?

Yes!

Seal yourself now.

Prepare to get into the Bloody Pond Cell, too.

Isn't Presbyter of Wind sacrificing himself to break the seal?

I'd like to be a witness.

Do you really believe this evil fox is controlled by you

and not making fools out of you?

Queen Dowager, why are you so serious?

I just want to say farewell to Master Wind.

Presbyter of Wind, it's time.

Queen Dowager, please convey my regret to the king,

for I won't have the chance to see the Phantom World

go back to the mortal realm and cleanse the world with blood.

Whether I agree with your sacrifice or not, I cannot deny

your loyalty to the Phantom World.

Your sacrifice is invaluable to us.

Leave without worries. You're our hero forever.

Thank you, Queen Dowager.

Presbyters, I'm leaving.

When your souls return to the Waste World,

we'll gather at that time.

Subtitles and Timing brought to youThe Taoism Grandmasters Team @Viki

What must come will eventually come.

You lose! Drink it!

Come on!

May I have your attention?

Ladies and gentlemen, I have some words.

The Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array is going to begin at midnight.

Among us 49 competitors, only one can be the Righteous Path Seeker.

That's to say, though in the battle of Five Great Mountains,

we've fought shoulder to shoulder.

Very soon, not only will we be rivals with each other,

but we can also be eliminated or killed.

But at this very moment, we're still friends.

So, I hope everyone can cherish this moment.

Use this remaining time

to take a good look around

and keep everyone in our minds.

- Good idea!- Great!

Come, for this fated meeting,

cheers!

- Cheers.- Cheers.

I have a suggestion.

This All Phenomenon Crystal Stone can help us record this moment

and let it never fade away.

How about we use it to record this gathering scene of us 49 competitors

as a keepsake?

- Right.- Sounds good.

Sounds great.

Kun Lun, join me, please.

Join us!

Okay.

Come. Let us go.

- Come on.- Go.

Sounds boring.

Eldest Brother, let's leave.

Han Shang, hold on.

Come and join us.

Why? You don't like us, do you?

It seems you don't like us, either.

Call it even.

Without you, our memory would be incomplete.

Absolutely! Come on!

Join us!

- Eldest Brother.- It's just leaving an illusion.

Not a big deal.

Let's go.

Go.

Han Yu, be generous. Give a smile.

Ready?

Let's keep the happiest moment forever.

Come and have a look.

- Look at you.- It's funny.

Great!

Oh, I look so weird.

Boss Lady, may we put it here?

Of course. It's my pleasure.

It's an emergency call from the Alliance.

Has the Phantom World taken action and the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array was activated in advance?

Anyway, go back to the Alliance first.

Getting drunk today.

When will you return?

I've gotten news that the Vanguard Army of the Phantom World

will soon break the seal of the Infinite Pagoda and come to the mortal world.

I'll now declare the decision of the Alliance.

In accordance with the last words of the founders,

the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array has been activated

and the Second Cleansing War has officially begun.

Five Mountains Swordsmanship!

Welcome, Great Spiritual Mirror!

If the Three Realms is not clean,

a Dao calamity will befall.

All are one.

Demons end in Taoism.

Five Mountains Swordsmanship,

Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array, activate.

The activation of the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array has been completed.

Seemingly, it's time to go.

Master Laugh, give the ring to me.

How dare you! Go back to your Bloody Pond Cell!

But without the ring, I can't go!

You evil thing.

Aren't you afraid of the Spell of Heart Devouring?

Yeah.

But if I die, who would be the leader of the Vanguard Army?

And all of them are the master fighters of the Phantom World.

If you don't give that Phantom Ring to me,

how can I have the power to command them?

The seal is about to be broken.

Quickly prepare!

Just give it to her!

Thank you, Master.

Now, I can have fun in the mortal world.

It's time.

The Vanguard Army can't be traced

because they used a stealth technique.

Competitors, stand up and listen.

The Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array can change Heaven's design

and create destiny. Letting the competitor walk onto the road to being the righteous path seeker

as he gets through the challenges of the competition.

From the Mirror of Sky,

I'll collect information from all phenomena in the universe

and seek enlightenment.

I'll set different tasks for you to complete.

Your tasks might be to cope with the Phantom World,

seek magical treasures, or seek the Saint Armor.

Anyone who cannot fulfill the task in the appointed time...

will be deemed to have failed the competition.

Understand?

Understood!

Okay.

Now, I'll announce the rules.

First, each of you will get a Bright Moon Mirror.

Regarding the directions of its usage, during the tasks,

the Elf of the Mirror will tell you the details.

If you lose the Bright Moon Mirror,

you'll be eliminated from the competition at once.

Second, unless you die,

you cannot quit from the competition.

And no matter what danger you're facing,

the Five Great Mountains Alliance will never help you.

If you insist on quitting, then half of your cultivation

will be taken away by the mirror.

Third rule: When the array is activated,

the five pieces of the Saint Armor will reappear

by random chance.

And when the five pieces of the Saint Armor are obtained,

the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array will advance into the final part.

The winner can take the last trial of the Saint Armor.

If he or she successfully passes,

he or she will become the Righteous Path Seeker who will take charge of the Second Cleansing War,

and also the next chief of the Alliance of Five Great Mountains.

Competitors,

the fate of the whole world is decided by this Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array.

This differs from the Five Great Mountains Tournament

for you'll face real enemies.

When the Vanguard Army whereabouts are traced,

the first battle of the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array will start immediately.

Make some preparations.

Get ready to set out at any time.

I will obey your command!

Quickly go back

and prepare yourselves.

Yes, Chief!

I, Bai Qianji, have come back!

The air in the mortal world smells better.

Mortal realm, I'm back!

Hey, can you hear me? I'm back!

Why is there no response?

Could it be I've been forgotten by this world?

No way!

No!

I'll remind you of me.

I'll make all of you

in the Three Realms remember me.

I need 49 vanguards.

Who will be the first to battle?

This land of dead ruins has been surrounded by the noxious aura of phantoms,

so we're protected from being traced

by the Alliance of Five Great Mountains.

Hence, we'll make this our camp for now.

And your first mission

is to find those 49 competitors

and greet them well.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Xiaoyu, are you okay?

Senior Feifei,

I'm very afraid.

Don't be afraid.

The Mind Shield gifted to you by my father is a valuable treasure and can keep you safe.

Those common evil things cannot hurt you.

But when we were in the Sacred Land of Dream Fate,

I was controlled by the evil tree and I even hurt you.

If you hadn't helped me,

I might still be in my nightmare and have never woken up.

The Peach Tree Elemental is not a common evil.

He has a thousand years of cultivation.

I was nearly killed by him, too.

But isn't the Phantom World scarier than the Peach Tree Elemental?

And this time, I'm all alone.

I'm really scared!

If you are scared, you can quit now.

Though half of your cultivation will be taken by the Bright Moon Mirror,

your cultivation seems too little to feel sorry about.

Take it easy.

The first challenge hasn't been decided.

Maybe, we still can help each other.

Even if the first one is passed, what about the others?

Seniors who have immortal cultivation higher than ours

have left after the Five Great Mountains Tournament.

But you remain here.

Maybe you have an affinity with the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array.

Just think about the future after you pass the first round.

Right! Or I'll just break the Bright Moon Mirror and flee.

No matter what happens, you should protect yourself first.

Senior Yun Qi,

something is confusing me.

What's that?

Well, since the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array can can select the Righteous Path Seeker

and find the Saint Armor,

why wasn't it activated earlier?

I asked Teacher the same question.

He said that even though the array is a shortcut

of setting challenges and eliminating evils

so that competitors become the candidate of the Righteous Path Seeker

through experiencing hardships and difficulties,

it's very dangerous.

Maybe no one can survive until the last moment.

If the Righteous Path Seeker doesn't appear

while the elites of the Immortal World have died because of it,

who can fight in the Second Cleansing War?

I see.

Looks like, if the Phantom World hadn't broken the seal in advance,

Teacher wouldn't have activated the array.

It's hard to make this decision.

For once it starts, it can't be stopped.

So, it doesn't matter whether we can be the Righteous Path Seeker or not.

The more important thing is

that we should survive until the Second Cleansing

to fight with the Phantom World.

Got it.

I'm excited.

Xia Yu,

what are you excited about?

Excited?

Excited for the next trial.

Do you know what will happen next?

What I'm afraid of most is that you're still indulged in the excitement of killing our enemies

and haven't made preparations.

Not knowing what will happen next.

In the next trial, what we'll face is not the illusions in the Dreamland.

It's a battle of life or death.

We don't know who our enemies are. And a one-on-one battle

means we can't help others until we beat our own enemies.

Once we fail, we'll die.

As co-disciples from the same sect,

I'm not willing to see any of you die.

This is not child's play.

It's a real massacre.

Hence, I want you all to correct your attitude.

Understand?

Understood.

What about them? Have they prepared?

It can be Ju Xiong.

- It should be Han Shang.- Zhang Ling.

- Must be Han Shang.- No way.- Zhang Ling.

All of us are so nervous.

Only you can fall asleep.

As for the immortal technique, cultivation, or morality,

my Senior Ju Xiong is not inferior to Han Shang.

The ranking is listed and agreed to by other competitors.

Well, only you disagree.

Fine. I'll stop arguing.

Tie Lang, you be our judge.

Between Ju Xiong and Han Shang,

who do you think is superior?

You caught me off guard. I don't know how to judge.

Last night, when we drunk in Wine's World,

someone made a ranking list of us 49 competitors.

The top one is Kun Lun.

I agree with it.

The cultivation of Kun Lun has reached the Imperial Divine Realm

so he must be the top one.

But this ranking—

Lian Changfeng is the second.

The third one...

is Han Shang.

And Ju Xiong is the fourth.

No, it's not reasonable.

The Divine Flame Sword of Lian Changfeng

was personally handed down to him by Mythical Fire Patriarch.

He is second to Kun Lun.

I agree.

But the third place,

should be my Senior Ju Xiong!

- No.- Yes.

Tie Lang, what do you think?

They haven't competed with each other, so it's hard to say.

Well, I agree that they can compete for third place,

both Ju Xiong and Han Shang.

You're all wrong.

It should be Wang Wei.

Wang Wei?

Who's he?

Who?

It's him.

Where is he from?

I don't know him.

Did he join the battle?

Of course, or he wouldn't be here.

I have no impression of him.

Wang Wei?

I haven't heard of the name.

From which sect?

I didn't know his name

until the Disciplining Team told me.

They said he's from South Sea Sect.

South Sea Sect?

They seldom come to the Central Plains.

No wonder I haven't heard of it.

Exactly.

He's too inconspicuous to be remembered.

Why do you think he's superior to Ju Xiong and Han Shang?

The reason I've noticed him is exactly his being inconspicuous.

But when

I found him among the 49 competitors,

I was confused and racked my brain.

Finally, I recalled that when we fought against Qiongqi,

or the first Wolf King,

he would disappear without a trace.

While when the trial ended

and everyone was going to leave, he was the first to appear.

The wounds he incurred are usually the fewest and lightest.

Maybe he's a lucky dog?

If it is, well, his luck is really a strong weapon.

Are you all right?

- You're aching, too?- Yes.

It's the Egg.

No way.
