[The Taoism Grandmaster]

[Episode 19]

What is past is past.

We should think about the future.

The future.

We'll think about it...

when it's time.

Kun Lun, you're the hope of the Immortal World.

You have to pass the test and become the Righteous Path Seeker.

I promise I'll work hard for it to make you proud.

Don't just work hard. You must become the Righteous Path Seeker.

Let's build a house in the City of No Tears, shall we?

Let's work hard for our future home.

- Cheers!- Cheers!

♫ 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 ♫

♫ 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 ♫

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

Can't sleep?

Has your leg wound healed?

It's fine now.

Here.

Is it pretty?

Yes.

This is the conch shell I picked up on the East Coast.

It's almost worthless, but I'd like to give it to you.

Me?

Why?

A gift to a new friend.

Friend?

Are we... enemies?

I have too many enemies

and I don't want one more.

Nine-Tailed Fox, what are you thinking?

Chief.

Great Spiritual Mirror urgently summoned us to come here in the middle of the night.

What is going on?

I don't know yet.

Where is Mythical Fire Patriarch?

I visited him at the Immortal Viewing Cliff today.

He was in poor condition. He might not come.

Mythical Fire Patriarch is so emotional that losing his disciple has completely shattered him.

Nonsense.

You're the one who's completely shattered.

I would rather be dead than defeated.

Green Robe, is it courteous for a cultivator to gossip behind someone's back?

No, my mistake.

Please accept my apology.

Come on!

Was there a shortage of people offended by this Mythical Fire of Rudeness?

What are you saying? What Mythical Fire of Rudeness?

Did I say that? Did I say Mythical Fire of Rudeness?

Have you heard it?

- Stop quibbling. You old...- What?

Enough, enough!

You're finally back.

Thank you for your concern.

Great Spiritual Mirror!

I just found out that the commander of the Vanguard Army is the Nine-Tailed Evil Fox.

The Nine-Tailed Evil Fox that seduced King Zhou of Shang and incited the Chaos of Deification?

Yes.

She had the cultivation of over a thousand years back then.

Now, her witchcraft is even more unfathomable.

But she has been despised by the Three Realms and sealed by the Phantom World for thousands of years.

How is it possible for her to yield to Phantom World and agree to be a measly commander of the Vanguard Army?

That is the point that I haven't figured out.

The most confusing thing is that

she doesn't cover her tracks at all.

It seems she wants me to find her.

This troop is composed of the Nine-Tailed Evil Fox and the Vanguard Army from the Phantom World.

But she has long discovered that I've been watching her,

yet she's not making any unusual moves.

Come! Come here! Come here!

Come to play with me! Come!

Hurry up!

Come here! Come quickly!

Let's play!

That girl is the Nine-Tailed Evil Fox?

I didn't expect that.

It's dark now, yet you five chiefs are still here to relieve me of my boredom.

Thank you in advance.

But I will give you something in return.

I think you must want to know where I'm heading.

I'm going to...

I won't tell you.

Don't be mad at me. I'm just joking with you.

Don't blame me.

But I can't tell you right now,

or else, it wouldn't be fun.

Let's play hide-and-seek.

If you can catch me, I will give you the first Saint Armor that you desire.

How about it? Is it an attractive offer?

Come and get me!

By the way, I gave myself a name,

Bai Qianji.

Remember my name!

The sky is lighting up.

Faceless Man, have a walk with me.

Yes, Commander.

What is she thinking?

No idea.

But I'm sure that the enemy in the third trial of the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array

is the Nine-Tailed Evil Fox.

If five of us fight together against her, we can't win.

How can the 20 competitors defeat her?

The first Saint Armor resurfaced because of the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array.

The clue is the Nine-Tailed Fox.

So it's their unavoidable destiny to face her.

No one can prevent that.

When will the third trial start?

When we find her again, the third round will start.

They have disappeared from the sight of the Mirror of Sky.

This time, she deliberately hid herself.

It could take some time to locate her.

Great Spiritual Mirror, although we can't meddle in the trial,

we can offer them some help before the trial. Right?

Fine.

Yun Qi, what is going on?

I don't know.

Is it the third trial?

I don't want it to start so soon.

My wounds haven't healed.

- Let's go see.- Okay.

So many butterflies!

What a beautiful place!

- I don't understand. - So fun!

Go ahead.

You didn't have to expose yourself in front of the alliance.

They must be on their guard now and ready to strike against us.

But it seems that you don't care at all.

And you're in a good mood.

They're afraid of my existence.

Seeing their faces with fear and panic,

I just want to laugh.

Besides, they're afraid of me because they care about me and put me in their hearts.

Don't you think it's a pleasant thing to be put in an important position in someone's heart?

It feels good.

I would like them to remember me forever.

Therefore, I don't want to kill them.

I'm serious. Can you understand?

Yes.

You're smart.

The first Saint Armor finally showed up.

It showed up!

The third trial will start at any time.

Maybe two hours later or a month later.

Whenever it starts, the Great Spiritual Mirror has set the goal for us.

That is, to get the Saint Armor.

But your enemy will be the ancient evil elemental, Nine-Tailed Fox.

The Nine-Tailed Fox?

Teacher, is it that nine-tailed fox?

In all the ages, there is only one nine-tailed fox.

Now, Great Spiritual Mirror is deducing the details of the third trial.

She asked us to give you special training

to increase your chances of survival.

From now on, you will be divided into five groups,

each led by one of us five chiefs.

All competitors from the alliance

belong to the first group under my charge.

Yes.

The second group is made up of Ju Xiong, Ying, and Bufan from Green Robe Sect.

- I'll teach you.- Yes.

I'm in charge of the third one.

- Han Brothers.- Yes.

My left eye is quivering.

Something bad might happen.

Relax. She won't take us.

She doesn't like us.

Zhang Ling, Tie Lang. I'll take you.

The rest of you, Qianqiu, Tian Xin, Wang Wei, and Mei Kongyun will be in my group.

Yes.

An appeal.

What is it?

I think Lian Pi...

I think Deputy Chief Lian chose us because she doesn't like us.

You're wrong.

It's because the other vice chiefs don't want to accept you.

I was forced to take you in.

Overruled.

Seven days later, if the third trial hasn't started then,

the five groups will have a competition

to check your progress.

Okay.

From now on, everybody should use every moment to practice and learn.

Yes!

Why don't you practice with us?

That was clearly a vicious smile.

Be careful. She's dangerous.

Yes, you're right.

Vice Chief, we're here.

Let's begin.

Begin what?

The training of immortal technique.

Just teach us whatever you want.

Don't waste time.

In such a beautiful place,

a cup of good tea can clear all the sadness within.

I don't want to teach two fools anything.

Besides, you're not worthy of my teaching.

You said we're fools?

Tie Lang, let's go.

Stay, or you will be kicked out of the competition.

You don't want to teach us. How can you kick us out?

I have this privilege.

The Great Spiritual Mirror arranged this training.

If you don't finish the task, I can kick you out.

You are the one who refused to teach us.

It is you who didn't finish the task.

I'm going to complain to the Great Spiritual Mirror now.

Zhang Ling, let's go.

Stop!

You just ruined my leisurely and carefree mood.

All right. I'll play with you.

Take out your weapons.

Don't you want to accept training?

This is the Colorful Two Forces Ball.

My master gave it to me when I was six.

I got bored with it after three days.

Split.

If you can dodge its attack and bring down these balls,

we can talk about the training.

Now begin.

Just a toy for kids. It's weak.

Two Forces Balls, be serious.

So many colors on your face.

You, too. Red, blue, and yellow.

That's why it's Colorful Two Forces Balls.

So the color pertains to the wound color?

Yes.

Don't worry. Although it hurts a lot,

the wounds will disappear six hours later.

Not the face!

Don't hit my face!

If it weren't for Teacher, I wouldn't know that

I was using the Universal Traceless Technique wrongly all this time.

Right.

Let's try again.

This is the first time I saw Teacher fighting so seriously.

The immortal technique of our school is awesome!

Teacher didn't use all her strength;

otherwise, we would have suffered a crushing defeat.

Right. That's why we need to make a breakthrough.

How can we beat the Nine-Tailed Fox if we can't surpass our teacher?

Gong, did you see the technique Teacher used to defeat me this morning?

Yes.

You used the technique Boundless Aftersound.

But Teacher was better than you in taking advantage of the right timing.

You need more practice.

Concentrate on Lingtai acupoint and draw energy from the Yongquan acupoint.

I don't understand.

Me, either.

Lingtai acupoint is on the head while

Yongquan acupoints are under the foot.

In refining one's energy, you need to involve the primordial and keep them as one.

To keep as one is to concentrate your mind.

So, how can you keep your mind on the head

while your energy is under the foot?

I hate refining energy the most.

It depends on your feeling.

I'd rather learn some fighting skills, which are practical.

You're wrong.

He must have some reasons for asking us to practice like this.

We can't give up, right?

Yes.

Never give up.

Let's practice again.

Mythical Fire Patriarch is not a good teacher at all.

You're right.

He wasn't teaching us anything.

He just let us fight with him.

We're no match for him.

Maybe he wants us to learn from failure.

How can we learn if we can't even see his moves?

Fooled and scolded by a mad man for several hours,

you still want to go on?

I truly feel sad for you.

What the hell?

After ten hours of training, you guys are not tired at all.

This is called, "A fighting spirit."

One might not win with a fighting spirit,

but one is destined to lose without it.

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

This special training means a lot to us.

Eldest Senior,

I'm still confused about several points my dad mentioned today.

Let's review them.

Okay.

Teacher said from the start that Xia Yu's vitality, breath, and spirit aren't unified,

so his power is undermined.

This is similar to my usual comment of you people being too keen on the stance,

but unable to fully understand the meaning of the stance.

Keep your mind in your heart; one's stance should come from the heart.

Vitality, breath, and spirit will naturally be unified.

Zhang Ling, how about your training?

We learned a lot.

It was quite good.

What have you learned from Lian Pixie?

We all want to know.

She has taught a lot. We are tired now.

We're going to sleep.

But you haven't eaten anything.

We don't want to eat. Not hungry.

Both of you are strange.

Why don't you look at us?

What happened to you?

Senior Sister, look!

What happened?

Didn't you go for training?

Why are you back with colorful faces?

How can you laugh at us when we're already so miserable?

Are you our friends or not?

Even if we're not friends, we have fought together.

How can you laugh at us? Are you from those decent schools?

Right. Since you want to know what she has taught us,

I'm telling you right now. She didn't teach us anything.

- She was toying with us!- She came up with that stupid Colorful Two Forces Ball.

She tortured us and made us look like idiots.

The marks can't be washed off.

You're happy because you have learned a lot.

What about us?

There is nothing but pain and humiliation in our hearts.

Excuse me, I... I can't help laughing.

Zhang Ling!

Move aside!

Senior Yun Qi, are you tired?

Not at all. What's wrong?

If you're not tired, let's help them. Poor fellows.

All right. It's time to offer them some help.

Don't be upset.

- Maybe Lian Pixie's special training...- It's not training, but playing with us.

Whatever you say.

After the murder case in the House of Berserk,

she hasn't accepted any disciples.

But she is a universally recognized good teacher in the Immortal World.

Maybe everything...

she did to you has some deeper meaning.

Not at all.

Training has just started. Don't blame her from the start.

Isn't it because of your complaints about her that your relationship went bad, leading to this situation?

Feifei's words make sense.

In the beginning, there was a smile on her face.

He said it was a dangerous smile and then we ended like this.

Who complained about her in front of the chief?

Stop fighting.

Why don't you switch your attitude and see if things change?

I agree.

That's the only thing we can do at present.

We'll try to give her a good impression tomorrow.

But we are really at our wit's ends with those damned Two Forces Balls.

Yun Qi, do you have any ideas?

We didn't learn anything today.

So we need Yun Qi to help us.

My immortal technique is not mature, but I'd like to share something with you.

I've said that Zhang Ling is always smart enough to find a way out.

But your immortal technique is lame.

If you encounter a true master in the future, you'll be defeated.

Therefore, I suggest you practice your internal energy and rebuild your base.

But a clever man must have a complex mind and too many distractions,

which is the enemy of inner energy cultivation.

Therefore, I suggest you to learn how to meditate first.

Right. Yun Qi, what you said is great.

You immediately found out my weak point.

Let's start by practicing how to meditate then.

Tie Lang's foundation is good and has strong internal energy.

But you only know one technique, that is the Sky Splitting Invincible Sword Technique.

The way to solve it is to divide one technique into several techniques.

Although the power is undermined,

you can deal with long-standing fights.

You're right. I'll follow your advice.

Feifei, you will teach Zhang Ling to meditate.

Yes.

Tie Lang, I'll tell you how to control your internal energy.

Thank you very much.

Sit down.

Shouldn't we practice how to meditate?

Okay, I'll stop laughing.

To meditate, you need to understand what calmness is.

People always have thoughts.

But to cultivate inner energy, we can't keep distracting thoughts.

Therefore, we need to let the thoughts appear and disappear without controlling them.

Let your thoughts be like an untied boat that can freely float on the sea surface,

despite the strong waves.

When the distracting thoughts fade and everything quiets down,

the boat will naturally stop as if it's floating on top of a mirror.

This is the way to meditate.

Understood?

Do you understand yourself?

I...

Of course, I understand.

I'm just not good at it now.

But I'm better than you.

I know.

Okay, let's begin.

Put your hands on mine.

Why?

To make you feel my breath and the rhythm of my internal energy.

Just follow it. This way, you can reach a state of calmness quickly.

Kun Lun also taught me in this way. Hurry up.

What are you thinking?

Well, I'm thinking...

Since a man always has thoughts, what will it feel like to

truly have no thoughts?

Yun Qi was right.

You have too many distracting thoughts in your heart.

You're right.

But my dad once told me that if a man can have no thoughts at all,

he will be united with Heaven and Earth.

By then, I am the way, the way is me, and I am the universe.

You will be free and unfettered.

That might be true freedom.

"I am the way, the way is me,

and I am the universe."

What is this kind of feeling?

Maybe you'll understand one day.

But you still have a long way to go.

Let's begin.

Why are you having more distracting thoughts?

I... also don't know.

Fine, fine. I quit.

One more time.

One more time.

Deal? Put it properly.

Who's that? Come out here!

Why so fierce? I'm just passing by.

Sorry. I didn't know it was you.

Are you practicing here, too?

You... have water?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Are you pushing yourself too hard?

You won't understand.

All right, if you don't want to tell me, I'll leave.

It's hard to be the senior disciple of our school.

How hard it could be to be the senior disciple of your school?

The Heavenly Music Palace has gained its fame for so long,

yet we are always under the command of the Five Great Mountains Alliance.

People will think that I am weaker than

the senior disciple of the Alliance, Kun Lun.

Our teacher feels bad about this, too.

So do my younger brothers.

In their hearts, I must become the Righteous Path Seeker and bring honor to our school.

Do you want to be the Righteous Path Seeker yourself?

I just don't want to disappoint them.

So I have to become the Righteous Path Seeker.

Seems like you're under great pressure.

And you?

Why do you want to become the Righteous Path Seeker?

It's okay if you don't want to say.

Have you heard of the Nine Heavens Sect of the Northern Desert?

A bit.

It's no surprise if you don't know.

Our school has existed for less than 100 years in a distant place,

so we're always ignored.

The task Teacher entrusted me with is to make Nine Heaven Sect become well known in the Immortal World.

Make a name for us in a grand manner.

That is why I must become the Righteous Path Seeker.

Well, you're under as much pressure as me.

But there's a difference between us.

It is my wish to win as well.

I'm tired of being overlooked and despised.

Besides, I don't think you're weaker than Kun Lun.

I'm going back.

Kongyun.

Let me go with you.

Zi Shou.

Commander, the Vast Old City is now yours.

Okay.

I just learned that this Extreme Hatred Tomb was built hundreds of years ago

by a descendant of the Shang dynasty.

It is said that King Zhou's body is in it with a rare treasure,

which is used for the restoration of the Shang dynasty.

Nobody has entered it since.

Thus, the story can't be verified.

It's true.

Zi Shou is inside this tomb.

I know he's in there.

Extreme Hatred Tomb.

Without extreme love,

how can there be extreme hate?

Did he still hate me during that time?

Gui Huo, break it.

Yes.

Looks like the Shang descendant is a cultivator, too.

This Extreme Hatred Tomb is protected by an immortal technique seal.

Zi Shou, I finally see you.

Commander, you're crying.

Fox elementals do not have tears,

except for love.

Zi Shou is the only man I loved

in the past thousands of years.

You were sent by Nuwa back then to seduce King Zhou and overthrow the Shang dynasty.

Yes.

No matter how great my power of seduction is,

it's impossible for me to make a man end his dynasty

and be despised for ages.

Unless...

this man is crazy, or...

he became insane from loving me too much.

I had cultivated for a thousand years before meeting him,

but I had never felt love.

How can I not be moved upon facing a love

that's strong enough to burn Heaven and Earth?

Zi Shou,

for over a thousand years,

you must have been lonely.

Commander, we have work to do.

There's no immortal aura around here.

Seems like there's no treasure here.

General Shadow's information wouldn't be wrong.

Little Furball, help me get the Saint Armor.

There's another room behind the wall.

The tomb builder is not just a common cultivator.

His power is strong.

Looks like the seal on the wall

can't be dispelled that quickly.

I have some confidence in breaking seals.

Please let me do it.

Okay.

I can have more time with

Zi Shou.

Vice Chief Lian!

I thought you were not coming today.

We were rude yesterday.

We didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive us.

We bought some fruits and deserts in the City of No Tears.

- Please enjoy. - It's fresh.

Knowing your mistakes and correcting them is a good thing.

Shall we continue today?

Of course. I've decided to insist on training no matter what happens.

Right. Me, too.

Please teach us.

Good. You are worth teaching.

Let's begin.

- Remember our strategy?- Yes.

Our enemy is not the pain, but the Two Forces Balls.

We're ready! Come on!

Split.

It worked!

Thank you for teaching us.

Who said you were done?

Two forces give rise to four.

Don't you understand the natural law?
