[The Taoism Grandmaster]

[Episode 18]

Can you really take me to the City of No Tears like this?

I don't know. I'll try my best.

Other people really can't see you?

Yeah, they can't. This is the Cloak of Invisibility given by the Wolf Queen Dowager.

It can hide not only my body, but also my evil vibe.

Even Chief of the Alliance may not be able to see me.

I'm just worried about...

About what?

The Shrewd Toad.

But its master should already be dead.

Never mind. Relax.

No one will see me.

That's the best.

I'm back.

We've contacted Eldest Senior.

Our dead companions have been cremated.

Let's go to Ghost Valley to meet them now.

You... Are you alright?

Of course, I'm fine.

You're the one who is not all right.

- He confessed his love to Feifei.- He confessed his love to Feifei?

Frankly speaking, you shouldn't have lied to Tie Lang.

Once a goal is set, just run towards it.

That's typical of him, isn't it?

Let us go.

Do you feel better?

Yes.

Are you okay?

Listen, we have cremated thirteen competitors.

May their souls rest in the mountains of Taoism.

Oh, yes. I just got a message from Feifei that Tie Lang has recovered.

Really?

What about General Shadow?

He has been completed eradicated by Tie Lang.

Now, Zhang Ling and Fei are coming here to join us.

Good job! Finally, we avenged the dead.

Tie Lang is really something.

He could even kill General Shadow.

We, trials, tasks, grown-up, incomparable.

He said, through a series of trials and tasks, we've grown up so much,

so we're now incomparable with our past.

What... Well...

It's about time to leave.

Yu!

Okay, let's go.

Come on.

Thank you.

For what?

I misunderstood that you were haunted by General Shadow.

Me, too.

And... you didn't tell the others about Yu, right?

I'm just not in the mood right now.

It will be hard to tell later on.

Hopefully, we're no longer enemies.

Ying, hold on a little while more.

Young Master, are you okay?

- Yu, are you all right?- I'm fine.

Wang Wei seems to not be here.

Did you see him?

Where has he gone?

I didn't see him, either.

It seems Zhang Ling was right.

Wang Wei is a total mystery.

If Han Shang didn't get in his way,

he would have defeated General Shadow.

I reckon that his cultivation

has already reached the state of Imperial Divine Realm.

I doubt if I could attack General Shadow without being noticed.

Unless you can completely conceal

your sound, breath, soul, and aura,

it's impossible to hide from General Shadow.

If he hasn't reached the state of Imperial Divine Realm,

he couldn't have managed it.

I hate people gossiping about me behind my back.

Now that you've noticed me, I hope you don't regret it in the future.

If he stabbed us in our back just now,

even we wouldn't have known how we were killed.

Our real rival finally makes his debut.

The Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array is getting more and more interesting.

Senior Feifei!

Eldest Senior!

Eldest Senior!

- Senior Yun Qi!- Feifei.

Fei.

You didn't get hurt, right?

Actually...

Not at all!

That's good.

Tie Lang. You good?

Tie Lang, you rock!

- I'm good. - You killed General Shadow!

Exactly.

But as you were possessed,

how could you have fought against General Shadow?

Yep, tell us about it!

Come on!

Did you use the technique of Invincible Sword to split him into two?

Into two? That's too good for him!

He should be hacked into 128 pieces and tortured to death slowly.

Tie Lang, just tell us!

There's nothing to say.

Where are you going?

Zhang Ling, what's wrong with him?

He might be traumatized.

Let's quickly set out or we won't arrive at the Alliance on time.

Let's go.

Let's move.

Everyone is exhausted.

But we still need over 20 hours to arrive at the Alliance.

- Well, this part is the biggest challenge. - It is.

I need to talk with Zhang Ling. You go first.

Hurry up.

You are not allowed to go there!

Donghuang Feifei is the bane of your life.

You never say a good word. Shut up.

I'm telling the truth!

Think about it. How many times have you run into danger after staying with her?

Don't go there!

Zhang Ling, I've got something to tell you.

What, Feifei?

He confessed his love.

What did he say?

I have to relieve myself again.

Wait a sec. Excuse me.

Zhang Ling!

- I...- I...

- You first.- Fine.

Then I'll go first.

- Actually, I...- Stop.

I'd better speak first.

You... All right.

When I was cultivating in the Waste Mountain,

there was only my teacher and me.

At that time,

I was either cultivating or taking a walk at the Waste Mountain.

I was not interested in the outside world.

That's nice.

That's the life of a cultivator.

But that life will make people an idiot.

You're not an idiot.

You're just...

innocent.

It's the same.

There are still some things I don't know how to say

and some things I don't know how to do.

Where's Zhang Ling? Why hasn't he come back?

Is he in danger? I'll go find him.

Feifei!

Maybe it was an illusion.

But when I was haunted by General Shadow,

I really heard you say to me,

"Tie Lang, if you are a real man,

stand up and personally confess to me!"

That was just your illusion.

But... that's exactly what I desire to do.

Feifei,

I love you!

That's so straightforward!

But that's typical of Tie Lang.

Then, how did you reply?

I don't love you.

That's way too straightforward!

Your words will make him sad.

What else can I do? Lie to him?

Indeed, it's not proper to cheat him by accepting it.

So, we can't tell him the truth.

Now that he has confessed to you,

is there any difference between whether we lie to him or not?

The difference is that it's me who told him to confess,

and it's also me who rejected him.

But you meant to save him back then.

Be that as it may,

I still feel sorry for him.

Zhang Ling, don't tell him the truth.

Okay.

So, Tie Lang doesn't have any chance?

None!

These words are for you.

Zhang Ling, could you help Tie Lang

straighten out these things for me?

Don't worry.

But Tie Lang might want to be alone now.

Thank you.

Actually, if Feifei and Kun Lun become lovers,

it's good news for you, too.

What on earth did you see through your Demonic Purple Eyes at Ghost Valley?

You won't want to hear.

In the future, you will meet enemies more horrible than your imagination.

And Donghuang Feifei is the bane of your life.

If that day comes, I'll never let her off.

I won't let you hurt Feifei.

Will you abandon me?

I don't care. If you don't keep away from her,

I'll follow you around forever.

You know what?

When I was trapped in the Bloody Pond Cell for thousands of years,

the only thing that accompanied me

was my memories of those years.

But... those memories are like an intractable old flame

who can bring me up to Heaven or down to hell.

After you tried every means, did everything possible,

and assumed that you can have him, have him forever,

you suddenly realize that you are more and more distant from each other.

At that moment, you realize it's just not working.

How is General Shadow?

He has been killed by the competitors.

How many competitors did he kill?

Thirteen.

This abandoned squad really lives up to its name.

Much better than the Vanguard.

General Shadow, you have nothing to regret.

I will help him fulfill his last wishes.

In passing, I can meet my old flame.

- Who?- King Zhou.

My Zi Shou.

Didn't the intel say that they had passed the City of No Tears?

Why haven't they arrived yet?

Since the start of the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array,

competitors have experienced continuous battles, injuries, and deaths of their companions,

and still have to come back here without rest.

They must be worn out by now.

Every step is not easy.

Time is running out.

If they still don't show up,

it'll be too late.

Subtitles and Timing brought to youThe Taoism Grandmasters Team @Viki

They're coming!

Dear competitors, please report at Spiritual Heaven Hall as soon as possible.

Is everything okay?

Teacher!

Quickly go inside.

- Okay. - We'll go first, Teacher.

- You all good?- Teacher!

We're back.

Come, go inside the palace.

- Teacher.- Teacher.

- Dad.- We're back.

Good.

Dad, I'm back.

Good.

Go inside.

I didn't expect you two to come back alive.

I swore I will outlive you.

Let's go.

[Spiritual Heaven Hall]

The second trial has come to an end.

Out of 34 competitors,

13 are dead and 21 passed.

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

In the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array,

28 out of 49 competitors have died.

Is there anyone who wants to quit now?

Great Spiritual Mirror, they are already exhausted.

Why must you strike them down at this time?

This is the best time to quit the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array.

Great Spiritual Mirror is right.

Although you'll lose half of your cultivation if you quit right now,

you will survive.

After the launch of the third trial,

it might be too late to quit.

True.

During each trial, every moment is about life and death.

If you quit within the trial, with only half of your cultivation,

it's equivalent to committing suicide.

I'm sure that at this moment, all already clearly understand what the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array is.

Enemies will definitely be stronger and more horrible.

If you want to quit, it's the right time.

I quit.

Teacher, I'm sorry. I let you down.

But I really can't stand it anymore.

But after my withdrawal, I'll still work hard

and fight for the Second Cleansing War.

Everyone, sorry.

It's good enough for you to come so far.

Apart from Shi Quan,

who else wants to quit?

According to the rules of the competition,

if the competitor insists on quitting, half of his cultivation

will be absorbed by the Bright Moon Mirror.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Now, show me your Bright Moon Mirror.

Okay, take him back to rest.

Yes.

Competitors, listen up.

There are 20 of you left and we will start the third trial at any time.

Snatch some sleep and prepare.

Always be ready to be summoned.

Yes.

Competitors, please listen. For the convenience of your daily routine,

the five chiefs decided to cancel any entrance restrictions.

So, from this day onward,

you can get in and out of the Alliance freely.

But you can go no further than the hillfoot of Mount Tai and the City of No Tears.

As the third trial is going to start at any time,

everyone, please always take your Bright Moon Mirror with you,

for Great Spiritual Mirror might summon you at any time.

Bu Dong, Xia Yu, take Jiu Yue and Jiu Ri to pack up the stuff left behind by the deceased.

Ask the Disciplinary Team to send it back to their schools.

Okay.

Senior Kun Lun, I want to say something to you.

Okay.

Xiao Yu wants to quit the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array.

It is indeed a shame,

but it may not be bad for her.

No, our immortal techniques were all taught by you.

You know that Xiao Yu is more talented than me,

but she is too timid.

She can go further.

But she has made her decision; we can't force her.

At least, she should toughen herself and overcome her fear;

otherwise, she will never be stronger.

You are the person that Yu trusts the most.

Please encourage her and give her one more chance.

Okay. I'll talk to her later.

Thank you.

Zhang Ling.

Tie Lang.

Qianqiu, what's up?

The thing is...

Well... Wanshi knows that we were back.

She's clamoring to meet you both.

I was about to look for her.

Good.

What's wrong with your teammate?

He's fine. Maybe he's too tired and needs some rest.

Do come, please. Don't make it hard for me.

Okay.

What's that smell?

How strange.

It's from you.

You smell like dead rats.

Let's take a shower to refresh ourselves.

I'm sure it wasn't an illusion.

I really heard Feifei telling me to confess my love.

Whether it's an illusion or not, you did confess. Right?

Right.

Now that you did it, there's nothing to regret. Sounds good.

But Feifei rejected me.

She rejected you, but what's wrong with that?

The problem...

The problem is that I'm so frustrated now.

You feel bad.

Do you think Feifei feels good for rejecting you?

You mean...

I'm too reckless and made her unhappy?

No, don't think too much.

I mean, you haven't done anything wrong.

[Immortal Gathering Pavilion]

Sorry. I forced you to reject me.

It's my fault. I clearly know you are into Kun Lun,

so you'd definitely reject me.

But I still forced you to tell it to me face to face.

I was in the wrong. I apologize.

Can you forgive me?

I will.

Will we still be friends?

We're friends as good as before.

Fantastic! We are still friends!

Did you hear that? Feifei and I are still friends.

Miss Feifei forgives me!

We are still friends!

Feifei and I are still friends!

We are still friends!

How smelly! What's that smell?

The smell of dead rats?

- Seems so.- It's from me.

I'll take a bath right away.

So, you are here.

Senior Yun Qi, what's up?

Teacher wants us to dine in White Cloud Cave.

But Kun Lun wanted me to return Changfeng's stuff to Mythical Fire Patriarch.

Let's go together.

Greetings, Mythical Fire Patriarch.

What's the matter?

We came to return Changfeng's Imperial Artifact.

Changfeng and I met by chance,

but he had always taken care of us.

I will avenge his death.

You don't need to avenge my disciple.

You can leave now.

Excuse us.

Please accept our condolences.

Senior.

Take a seat.

Bu Dong told me that you want to quit, is that so?

If not because Senior Bu Dong stopped me,

I might have quit.

Am I scary?

Why do you always speak so softly when talking to me?

No. You're so nice.

You're not scary.

Exactly. I'm not a demon.

Xiao Yu,

why did you choose to join the Alliance?

My family were killed by demons.

That's why I want to learn the immortal technique,

kill all demons in the world, and bring justice to all.

You know that, Senior.

Of course, I know, but I hope that you'll never forget why you started.

On the path of cultivation,

the biggest challenge is the monsters in your mind.

Fear is one of them.

As you are a mage from the Five Great Mountains,

you must conquer your fear.

I tried,

but failed.

You know what?

When Bu Dong asked me to dissuade you from quitting,

I didn't think I should come.

But he was right.

You're much more talented and thus should go much further than many.

Your only obstacle is fear.

So, I decided not to give up on you.

Thank you, Senior.

But I'm worried that I'll let you down.

I was born in a hunter family.

My mom used hair and fur of beasts such as

black bears, tigers, and gray wolves

to weave this Bracelet of Courage.

Take it.

No, I can't. This is stuff your mom left for you.

I can't take it.

It's not a free gift. I'm just lending it to you for a while.

One day, when you can overcome your fear, return it to me.

This bracelet is not a magical weapon,

but it reminds you that with courage,

however ferocious the beast is,

you'll kill it in the end.

That is why I have this bracelet now.

If you want to keep going,

extend your hand and I'll put it on you.

Thank you, Senior.

I believe... you won't let me down.

Teacher, sorry, we're late.

Take a seat.

All are here. Let's get started.

Yes, Teacher.

Does anyone want some alcohol?

Teacher, you drink?

Sure.

It's just been a long time since the last time I drank.

But a few days ago,

I was dragged by Lian Pixie to Wine's World

and drank a little.

Dad, you also go to Wine's World? Are you serious?

I had been there even before you were born.

Come on.

Wine of the Land.

But when we were fighting with General Shadow,

weren't you watching us through the Shinto Spiritual Birds?

I wasn't.

I couldn't bear to watch.

Because General Shadow was so formidable,

I didn't have the heart

to watch my disciples be killed by him.

Although you returned,

there are some who can't eat with us today.

Come on!

I propose a toast to our friends who didn't come back.

May their souls rest in the mountains of Taoism.

May their souls rest in the mountains of Taoism!

All right. Tell me.

How did you pass the second trial?

Now that you want to know, we'll tell you.

But who is the best storyteller?

Senior Kun Lun, of course.

Fine.

Kun Lun, go ahead.

Okay, Teacher.

I remember after we got the second task from the Great Spiritual Mirror,

we decided to split into two teams.

On the way back from Guilai Town to our Alliance,

our Mirror Elves broke down.

Qianqiu had to use his treasure, the Thousand Eyes Clairvoyance, to navigate.

When the Thousand Eyes Clairvoyance rose in mid-air,

I saw Qianqiu put his hands on his chest.

Tian Xin then asked him what's wrong.

Later, we found out that he did it

not because of injuries,

but that the Thousand Eyes Clairvoyance was so expensive that he felt heart-broken using it.

- Ying, are the vegetables washed?- Yes, Teacher.

Here you go.

Give me more seasoning.

Teacher, the vegetables you want.

- Put them there.- Okay.

It smells so good!

Isn't it?

Ying, take some more.

Here, Ju Xiong. You, too.

Tell me how you passed the task.

Teacher, listen to me. It was like this.

Ying was...

Let me do the talking! I was like this.

Look at her!

All of you...

Come on, eat more meat.

Now, you need to refuel your energy.

Eat more meat.

Thank you, Teacher.

What's wrong?

You guys always chattered away during meals.

What's wrong today?

Did something happen?

No, we are just tired.

I think the third trial won't start too soon.

So, you can have a good rest.

Oh right.

What happened in Ghost Valley in your last task?

How did you kill General Shadow?

Tell me about it.

Anything wrong?

Han Gong, what happened?

- In Ghost Valley⁠—- Second Brother.

Don't say it.

No, what really happened?

Tell me, Yu.

Yu!

What kind of attitude was that?

Tell me! What happened exactly?

To be honest, I passed out upon stepping into Ghost Valley.

I don't know what happened next.

But when I woke up, I found out that Yu was possessed by General Shadow.

Yu, how can you be so rude to Teacher?

I don't want to mention what happened in Ghost Valley.

You were not the only one who was possessed by General Shadow.

No need to put it to heart.

No, not because of that.

Is it about what happened in that room?

You know it, don't you?

It's all over now.

There's still Mei Kongyun.

What if she sells me out one day? I'll go kill her.

Yu, calm down!

Only you, Mei Kongyun, and I know about it.

Even Gong has no idea.

As long as we keep silent, no one else will know.

Who can guarantee Mei Kongyun won't give it away?

I can. Leave her to me.

Just forget it.

But...

- Eldest Brother⁠—- Yu.

Listen, you have a promising future.

[Untrammeled Sect]

It's so nice seeing you again!

I never thought you would be back alive.

Us, either.

Come in.

Incredible!

Eldest Brother, I'm finally successful!

Wanshi, it's your first success. I'm proud of you.

Thank you, Eldest Brother.

That's your Imperial Artifact. It can multiply the increase in your magical power.

Really? It's my Imperial Artifact?

Change its name.

Change its name? This sword was given by my teacher.

Its original name was Shining Bright Moon.

It's not powerful enough for this sword.

Then, let's call it Shining Moon Destroyer.

Shining Moon Destroyer...

I like it.

Okay, I'll call it Shining Moon Destroyer then.

What about yours?

My Imperial Divine Egg hasn't hatched.

But my hand aches from time to time.

Don't worry. I believe it'll hatch one day. Trust me.

Let's wait and see.

Right.

Where did these two armors come from?

Where did these scrap metals come from?

We went bankrupt buying it from your brother.

Didn't you say that this armor was magical?

If it's really a rare treasure, then that's a big loss for me.

What magic does it have?

You don't know, but

when we ran into danger during the competition, these saved us.

Unbelievable!

Okay, I'll study it now. You can leave.

Wait-Wait a sec!

There's another thing.

We are not good at immortal techniques.

After we got injured, despite the help from the Immortal Medical Team,

our wounds still can't heal.

I wonder if you have some kind of miracle wound care medicine.

What?

You dare to take her medicine?

You take it, I won't.

Is there anything wrong with my medicine?

You really know your stuff.

Here.

This is my newest wound care medicine.

Without Afterlife.

- W-Without Afterlife?- If you take it,

however severe the injury is, it will heal. You can apply it externally or take it in. You'll never die,

so how can you get an afterlife?

Is there any side effect?

I don't know. That's why I need you to try it.

I won't charge you.

Where is she? Didn't we agree to meet here?

Subtitles and Timing brought to youThe Taoism Grandmasters Team @Viki

How can I lose nine rounds in a row?

I refuse to accept this!

You lost, so drink.

As you wish.

You're mad! Why are you drinking alcohol?

You mean I should drink vinegar?

You...

Madam, we are friends.

Then you pay for her.

Okay.

She's such a cutie pie.

I'll just charge her 3 taels.

3 taels?

How much did you drink?

I didn't drink much.

And I can drink more.

S-S-Stop!

Why are you shouting at me?

I want alcohol! I want alcohol!

No money, no alcohol.

Keep the change.

You're the son of Zhang Dashun.

You know my dad?

No wonder you befriended her.

You know my dad?

Stop drinking.

Here, medicine for your wounds.

You are so nice to me.

I'll follow you forever.

Be quiet!

I haven't tried this medicine.

I don't know whether it has side effects.

Any strange feeling?

You sure?

Good.

Oh right!

I earned this money through the trials.

Take all of it.

You can absolutely find a good place to stay in the City of No Tears with this.

Keep it.

The hostess told me that there's a cave behind the City of No Tears

and I can set a fox den there.

We two can live together there.

Fox den sounds good.

You'd better drink less from now on.
