[The Taoism Grandmaster]

[Episode 21]

It says nothing about Wang Wei.

Is it broken?

No way.

- What's the result?- Imperial Divine Realm, Level Three.

Level Three?!

This disciple of the South Sea Sect is concealing well.

Imperial Divine Realm, Level One.

Good! Good hit!

Good for you, Senior Ju Xiong!

Zhang Ling and Tie Lang are the only ones left.

Who wants to go first?

I'll go first.

Take it easy. You can do it! Go for it.

It's weird.

Why is it fluctuating?

It's only one strike anyway.

Why does it matter if it is fluctuating?

Energy Control Realm, Level Two.

You will be a good teacher, Yun Qi.

You're not a bad teacher.

I didn't teach him, but he is indeed good.

The test stone is destroyed!

Tie Lang, you can strike for the second time now!

Congratulations! You've made it!

Thanks to Yun Qi for his help.

It's your effort that matters.

Tie Lang.

The last competitor, Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling, it's not the immortal technique that's your strong point.

But it's your mind.

Good luck, teammate.

Fighting!

Spiritual Control Realm, Level Two?

Spiritual Control Realm?

He's one of a kind in some way.

I can't believe it. He's so weak.

How is it possible for him to destroy the test stone?

Exactly.

Nice!

Tearing the Sky!

Tearing the Sky!

- Zhang Ling! - I made it!

That's great!

- I didn't expect that I could destroy it!- That's surprising!

Yun Qi, have you taught Zhang Ling our immortal technique without permission?

Why could he use Tearing the Sky?

I have no idea, Teacher.

What's going on, Father?

It took me five years to create Tearing the Sky and it was just completed a month ago.

I taught it to Yun Qi three days ago,

because the swordsmanship suited him well.

But Zhang Ling used it today.

Who else could teach him other than me?

I did mention the principle to him,

but I didn't teach him any mental cultivation methods.

Besides, I haven't understood the technique yet.

Teacher, Yun Qi would never lie to you.

Right, Father. Zhang Ling is very smart.

Maybe he figured it out from what Yun Qi said.

Then, why would you mention it to him?

Have you taught Zhang Ling our immortal technique without permission?

Such a crime could cost all your cultivation!

Do you acquiesce, Yun Qi?

Teacher, I'm sorry for what I've done. Please punish me.

- How dare you!- Teacher!

It was my intention to teach Zhang Ling. It's not Yun Qi's fault.

No! It has nothing to do with Kun Lun! It's all my fault!

Father! It's me who begged them to teach Zhang Ling. It's not their fault. Blame me!

No, it's my fault!

It's me who taught him, Teacher. Don't blame them!

Silence!

Tell me, Feifei. Is it your idea?

- Teacher! - Tell me, Feifei!

Zhang Ling saved my life.

I begged my senior brothers to teach him as my repayment.

Besides, Zhang Ling knows the Ancient Spell for Subduing Demons of our sect.

All that Yun Qi did was giving him a hint.

Do you know why he knows the Ancient Spell for Subduing Demons?

He wouldn't say.

No wonder he didn't.

Kun Lun, tell Feifei about Zhang Ling's father.

His father is Zhang Dashun.

Zhang Dashun, that evicted disciple of the Alliance.

He was the murderer who killed your mother!

No! No way!

It's not possible! How can it be like this?

It was witnessed by all five chiefs!

- There they are!- Oh, yes!

That was a great show back there.

One of us is in Level 2 of the Energy Control Realm, another is Level 2 of the Spiritual Control Realm.

Our immortal technique ranks first and second to the last.

There isn't anything to show.

But Tie Lang was able to pull out his sword for the second time.

Though Zhang Ling is only Level 2 of the Spiritual Control Realm, he still destroyed the test stone.

You must be concealing your skill.

It's far beyond our expectations.

It's all due to the guidance of Yun Qi.

That technique you used was awesome, too. Who taught you that?

It's also Yun Qi who taught me.

He told me some principles of swordsmanship.

I then practiced it at random. Turns out it's not bad.

What not bad? It's excellent!

Exactly! Teach me when you have time.

No problem.

Don't forget about us!

I don't know how to teach actually.

- Let's discuss it together.- No problem! That's a deal.

By the way, Wanshi is looking for you.

Pay her a visit after you have your shower.

It might be related to your armor.

Really?

Zhang Ling.

Tie Lang.

We are going to go shopping at the Untrammeled School. Let's go together.

Sure!

Let's go.

See you later.

[Void Control Realm; Way Governed Realm]

[Mei Kongyun, Jiu Yue, Kun Lun]

What is this?

A gift from the Disciplinary Team.

They are indicators of our cultivations.

That's good.

Look, Kun Lun and Wang Wei are our goals.

Our goal is to be the Righteous Path Seeker, not them.

Righteous Path Seeker?

But our skills are far beyond theirs. Can we succeed?

Actually, you're not far from them.

With your Sky Splitting Invincible Sword Technique plus the newly hatched Imperial Artifact, you should reach Level 4.

- It's just that you split your attack into two. That's why you were only at Level Two. - One, two, three, four...

There's a lot of room for improvement.

You, too.

Of course.

Feifei?

What are you doing, Feifei?

Not your concern. Get lost!

Feifei!

Feifei! Fei!

Liar! You're a liar!

Calm down, Fei.

What's going on, Feifei?

Ask him. Ask him about his father.

Say it. Speak!

My father is Zhang Dashun.

Isn't he the expelled disciple of the Alliance of Five Great Mountains?

Teacher said he is involved in 1 of the 7 mysteries of the Immortal World; the shameful expelled disciple of the Alliance.

What did your father do, Zhang Ling?

All I know is that my father was expelled by the Alliance,

but he didn't tell me anything else.

Teacher said that Zhang Danshun once cultivated in evil witchcraft by the Phantom World.

Witchcraft?

No wonder he became a disgrace of the Immortal World.

Is it true or not, Zhang Ling?

I don't know.

Don't you know that it was your father who killed my mother?

That's impossible! It's not true!

The five chiefs witnessed it.

How could it be false?

No way! My father would never do such things!

I won't trust you anymore.

You won't trust me anymore.

What do you want then?

Kill me for revenge?

Wait, Feifei!

Put down your sword, Fei!

It's Zhang Ling you're facing now, not his father.

He went through life-endangering situations with us.

- Feifei! - Give her a second.

I don't care what Zhang Ling's father did.

All I know is that he's my teammate.

Let's go.

Wait for me at the Untrammeled School. I'll explain things to Feifei.

- Will it work? - It's on me. Don't worry.

Move.

Young Lord Zhang, have some tea.

Excuse me? Is there any Imperial Artifact?

This way, please.

- I want to see if there's any magical treasure. - Sure, this way, please.

Zhang Ling...

Leave me alone.

I know that you're upset, but there are some words I still want to say to you.

Do not blame Zhang Ling for what his father had done.

Stop it!

No, I have to.

I don't want to see you becoming enemies.

Would you please forgive him, no matter what his father had done?

He told me that the Alliance didn't like him,

because he already knew that his father killed my mother.

Why would he lie to me? Why is he hiding away from me?

He does not know if he says so.

We're his teammates and friends. He won't lie to us.

Wouldn't he?

Whom do you think is the one who told me you love me?

What?

It's Zhang Ling who told you that I love you?

So, what I heard while being haunted is true.

- You asked me to express my feelings about you, didn't you?- Yes, I did.

No, it's impossible.

I asked you, yet you said no.

I've asked Zhang Ling, he said no either.

And I've asked more than once.

It was so urgent, you were in danger.

We did everything to save you.

Does that make lying reasonable?

Tie Lang!

Zhang Ling, what did you say to Feifei?

- What are you talking about?- Don't you know?

You told her everything we talked about while bathing in the hot springs.

You also know Feifei asked me to express my feelings. You lied to me. You sold me out!

Right, I know everything.

I lied to you. I sold you out!

Now what?

Do you want to beat me?

- You think I wouldn't dare?! - Come and hit me!

Quit it, please.

Young Mistress Wanshi is waiting for you.

Please follow me.

I've searched every ancient book here for the armor.

All I've got are some clues.

Look here. This is an extraordinary mark.

Have you heard about the Abandoned Squad of the Phantom World?

That's one of the best troops of the first Wolf King.

General Shadow was one of them.

That best one among them was called General Rampage.

This mark here belongs to him.

There's also a legend about him.

It's said that his witchcraft was the best in the Wolf Clan.

But during the First Cleansing War, he encountered a fate to meet an immortal.

Thanks to this immortal's guidance, he started practicing the Way (Daoism).

Finally, he found true enlightenment while on the battlefield and gave up fighting.

The armor here might be what General Rampage wore a thousand years ago.

If it's true, this armor could contain great spiritual power.

You've found a great treasure!

Are you listening at all?

- Are you done?- No!

These two pieces of armor are actually a set.

The power will be decreased if you divide it into two. Do you hear me?

- I'll escort you back⁠— - Xiaosan!

What's wrong with them? Weren't they fine before?

How are things? Where's Fei?

She's inside.

What's wrong?

It's rare that you're sad.

Still feeling guilty about Tearing the Sky?

Then it's Fei who made you like this.

It's about Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling has the worst strength among us,

but he's best when it comes to comprehension.

He's proven this.

It's a good thing to be accompanied by such a teammate.

But it would be troublesome if he were our enemy.

Besides, he's the son of Zhang Dashun.

I can hardly tell if he's an ally or not.

Why are you here at Spiritual Heaven Hall at this late hour?

I'm still your teacher at this time.

I won't let you in if you're planning something bad.

I want to meet Taiyi. I've got something to say.

May I go in now?

You may, but Taiyi doesn't like you.

He's still mad. I'm afraid you won't end up well if you go in.

I'm here to seek justice for my father!

I'm afraid I have to stop you.

I don't want the disciple I've taught to be kicked out of the Alliance and lose the chance to be the Righteous Path Seeker.

At the start of the tournament, when we saw the Cloud Umbrella on your back,

Taiyi already knew you were Zhang Dashun's son.

There has never been a case of the child of an expelled disciple returning to the Alliance.

Taiyi was very furious and wanted to cancel your qualification.

But I know that there must be another reason behind what happened.

So, I didn't agree with him.

Seems I owe you some appreciation.

No need for that.

I just want you to understand this.

Your father sent you here on purpose.

I could see his influence on you since the first day.

All that he had taught you was to make you the Righteous Path Seeker.

Yet, you're acting harshly just to find out

a truth that you yourself cannot prove because of your grievances.

Zhang Dashun has placed all his hopes on you.

Not for you to gamble your future out on a whim, just to argue and vent your anger.

Work for it if you want the truth, Zhang Ling.

Because you're the only hope of Zhang Dashun.

You're the only one qualified to know the truth,

the only one who could redress his injustice,

the only one who can bear the duty of saving the Three Realms.

Think about it.

Father.

Feifei.

What do you want?

I want to know the details of the murder that Zhang Dashun did.

I don't want to mention it anymore.

Just remember, Zhang Dashun is the shame of the Alliance; the murderer of your mother.

That's enough.

- Father. - It's late.

Go and get some sleep.

No, I can't.

This matter has been bothering me since.

I must figure it out.

Zhang Dashun had no grudges with my mother. Why would he kill her?

What happened between them? What made him like that?

Did Zhang Ling tell you something?

He didn't tell me anything that's why I can't figure it out.

Father,

Zhang Ling saved me before.

I would have been killed by the Peach Tree Elemental if it was not for Zhang Ling.

We've fought together and suffered together.

After all that, only today did you tell me that his father was Zhang Dashun,

the murderer who killed my mother.

How am I supposed to accept that?

I'll tell you everything when Kun Lun becomes the Righteous Path Seeker.

Father.

Boss Lady, still open?

Wine's World is never closed.

But don't you need any rest?

I am resting now.

Do you want to drink?

I want to get drunk.

To what extent?

Until I get to forget what I want.

I can't help you with that.

Sometimes, the drunker you get, the more you recall.

How am I supposed to forget?

It's an incurable disease.

I can't help you.

Do you still want to drink?

Yes. I do.

It seems he's always drunk.

He's never awake.

That's not my concern.

All that matters is that he pays.

Why does he want to get drunk?

He can't forgive himself.

One who seeks to suffer is a person who can't forgive himself.

Sometimes, being drunk is more miserable than being sober.

Are you saying that those who want to get drunk are looking for suffering?

When one can't prove his existence through happiness,

using suffering to prove it isn't a bad idea, too.

Do you still want to drink?

Useless! Useless retard!

The Thousand Destinies couldn't predict it. That old fox can't be killed either.

I can't find any way to deal with her.

Zhang Ling! What's the matter?

Why did you drink so much?

So stinky. Get up.

Who are you?

I'm Liuli.

Liuli?

Aren't you that annoying fox?

Fine, I'll leave you alone.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me here alone.

What are you talking about?

Who left you?

My father left me when I was eight.

I've lived alone since that day.

No one knew if I was happy or not.

At the brink of death, it's you who stayed beside me.

I won't leave you.

I've handed you my life.

Feifei.

Feifei.

You're mine.

You've known about Zhang Ling's father.

Why didn't you tell me?

By the time I knew, you'd already become friends.

Have I made the wrong decision?

Being friends is fate.

Breaking up is fate.

Even the immortals can't control fate.

Not to mention us.

Are you leaving like this?

How could you be so irresponsible?

I was drunk last night.

I apologize for any unconscious offense.

Just because you didn't mean it, we'll just treat it as it didn't happen?

So if you have the intention, anything can happen?

No, that's not what I mean.

I mean, what happened last night? Is there any responsibility that I should take?

You got hammered.

That's so disappointing. Don't you need to take responsibility for it?

That's to say, nothing happened between us last night?

You scared the hell out of me!

I thought I did something with you.

What if we did something?

I am a fox witch.

It doesn't matter if I did something with men.

It doesn't matter for you. Not for me.

All right, never mind.

- Have you figured out how to deal with the Nine-Tailed Fox?- No.

But I thought about an array.

If you cooperate with Tie Lang, we might have the slightest chance of beating her.

I'm afraid the slightest chance is gone by now.

Tie Lang found out what we were hiding from him.

He's angry with me now.

How did you explain it to him?

He won't listen to any explanation at all.

His name suits him perfectly. This area is as hard as metal.

It's late. I've got to get back.

The third trial could start at any minute.

Lian Pixie might use all kinds of sinister ways to deal with me if I go back late.

I'm leaving.

What? You've found the location of the Nine-Tailed Fox?

Five Great Mountains Technique.

Great Spiritual Mirror, I'm here to report.

We've found the location of the Nine-Tailed Fox together with news of the Saint Armor.

- Be more careful! - You hit me!

I didn't mean it.

Stop finding excuses!

- You're the one who did it deliberately. - So what? I wanted to do that since a long time ago.

Stupid cow with a tiny brain. I hit you, so what?

I'm not a stupid cow!

Retards! What are you doing?

One is all brawn with no brain.

The other is seeking too much just because he's smart.

It's because you make up for each other's deficits that's why you're still alive until now, being able to find a survival chance during perilous moments.

But now you're barking like a dog to each other. None of you are good enough to fight alone!

Retards can never make progress!

The third trial is about to begin.

You can hardly survive by cooperation. But now, you won't make it at all!

The third trial is about to start.

According to Ling Ting, the Nine-Tailed Fox was seen in the Extreme Hatred Tomb near the Vast Old City.

The tomb was built by descendants from the Shang dynasty.

It's said there's a treasure buried in it, apart from King Zhou's body.

None have entered it for many years for it is being guarded by a seal.

The Nine-Tailed Fox has occupied the Vast Old City.

She also broke the seal using witchcraft.

As far as I'm concerned, the Extreme Hatred Tomb is the tomb of King Zhou.

And the treasure in it is the first piece of the Saint Armor.

No one will be eliminated for the third trial.

Twenty competitors will be divided into seven teams.

The team that obtains the Saint Armor will be awarded the Elixir of Golden Wood.

Elixir of Golden Wood?

Elixir of Golden Wood is a precious medicine left by the five founding members of the Alliance.

There are only three of them.

It will greatly benefit your cultivation.

This could be a great chance for you.

Get ready for it.

- Understood?- Yes!

Good.

The first team: Kun Lun, Yun Qi, and Donghuang Feifei.

The second team: Ju Xiong, You Bufan, and Long Ying.

The third team: Han Shang, Han Gong, and Han Yu.

The fourth team: Xiao Qianqiu, Tian Xin, and Mei Kongyun.

The fifth team: Wang Wei, Jiu Yue, and Jiu Ri.

The sixth team: Han Budong, Xia Yu, and Feng Xiaoyu.

The seventh team: Zhang Ling and Tie Lang.

The Immortal Medical Team made up of Qiu Long, Jin Zi, and Luo Cha, will travel with you.

Pack up now and set off.

The third trial of the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array officially starts now.

The Elixir of Golden Wood is key to this Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array.

- Get it back at all stake, understood?- Yes, Teacher!

Other teams will stop at nothing to get the Elixir of Golden Wood.

You must fight at all costs to get it.

- Understood? - Sure!

That's not enough. I'll cheer you up.

- One, Two, Three. - Victory!

We can't lose the third trial.

You have to get the Saint Armor and win the Elixir of Golden Wood.

Yes, Teacher.

With the Elixir of Golden Wood, you can achieve the Void Control Realm.

Then the position of the Righteous Path Seeker will be yours.

I won't let you down.

Good.

You are really annoying now.

I'm feeling the same thing as you are.

If you stay like this, we can be apart soon.

I'm telling you the same thing again. I will live longer than you.

I'm also telling you the same thing again.

You can hardly survive by cooperation. But now, you won't make it at all!

The third trial will be the most vital one for you.

I hope you can give it your best.

Competitors, set off!

Yes, Chief!

[Alliance of Five Great Mountains]

We'll definitely get the Elixir of Golden Wood.

Why are you here?

I'm here for you.

Any news on dealing with the Nine-Tailed Fox?

Not yet.

But I think you can definitely beat her.

You seem confident, but I'm not.

Why are they ignoring you?

Even that annoying Donghuang Feifei is ignoring you.

Weren't you only at odds with Tie Lang?

- I don't want to say anything. - Tell me!

- I don't want to. - Come on. Tell me.

I'll ask Donghuang Feifei if you won't say it.

Don't you dare!

Fine. I'll tell you on our journey.
