What does that mean?

For the trial, the magical beasts in the secret realm must be of the snake kind.

Qian'er, why don't you just skip this trial?

If you dare to go, why should I be afraid?

You are afraid of snakes, my little sis! When you see snakes, you can't even walk.

Besides, I am prepared this time.

- What is that? - Things for snake prevention.

Things for snake prevention?

Let me see.

Relax, I will protect you.

Just watch over yourself first.

Enough.

Everyone, please enter the Transfer Formation.

Your Cold Moon Whip really helped just in time.

If it weren't for you, I don't think we would have survived the poisonous snake trap.

Forget that. Didn't you see I was just protecting myself?

Don't worry. I'll walk ahead of you.

If there are any dangers, I'll encounter them first.

You can't keep saying that. It's like we are pushing you to encounter the dangers.

I don't want you to get hurt.

I mean, if you are hurt, it'll be one less person to protect us.

Don't worry, I won't be hurt.

Also, there is Miss Luo Li here.

Miss Luo Li, listen to me, you don't need to keep staring at me.

This is the secret realm. I can't run away even if I want to.

- Beast blood? - Give you for precaution.

You know that spirit snakes love the smell of the beast blood.

Use it for precaution? You are scheming against me, right?

It's about where you spread it.

Liu Mubai, where are you taking us?

There is an area that's full of vegetative life ahead of us. I'll go check to see if there is any anti-snake grass. Be patient, alright?

Can't you go find it and bring it back here?

Why drag us with you?

We're not far from the Mountain Swallowing Snake's nest.

Precisely because it's a dangerous here, so I don't want you to wait for me here.

Right, right, we must follow Liu Mubai.

Follow Mubai so we will...

be safe.

I really can't walk anymore.

Let's rest here for a little.

Mu Chen.

Give it to Qian'er.

Mu Bai is so thoughtful. How did you know I'm thirsty?

I'll go ahead to see if there are any fruits.

I think he is pretty nice.

Whether he is nice or not... what's it to do with you?

I know what you are thinking.

Even though he looks cold on the outside,

but he is totally different from his father. Liu Mubai is an upstanding person.

I happen to detest him that way.

He is always full of righteous reasoning.

He seems to treat me well. It's because we are betrothed, so he has to act this way.

[Great Ruler]

[Episode 2]

I've been waiting for more than four hours.

Where is Teacher Mo?

You've already waited so long, just wait a little longer.

Are you Xue Shi of Xue Sheng Tribe?

What would you like?

Head of Academy, I will come straight to the point.

The chief of my tribe's fiancee, Luo Li,

seems to be hiding in your Bei Ling Academy.

I hope you will return her to me.

If you think it's bothersome, I can do it myself.

This is so strange.

Bei Ling Academy has always been a place of spirit cultivation for human tribes.

Junior Brother, how is it that I didn't know

that we've expanded into the people-hiding business?

Xue Sheng Tribe and the human tribes have never interfered with each other.

This is an internal affair for Xue Sheng Trible. You'd better not get involved.

You are right.

Of course we won't interfere with Xue Sheng Tribe's internal affairs.

However,

if it affects Bei Ling Academy's teachers and students,

it will be my business. Isn't that right?

So you mean that you won't give her up?

It's not that I won't, but I really can't.

Head of Academy, just as you said,

your duty is to protect your academy's entire teachers and students.

But, because of only her,

you will sacrifice the lives of the entire academy.

Is it worth it?

Are you threatening us?

Not at all. I'm just giving you an advise

to think thrice before action.

I bid my farewell.

- Look at this. - What is it?

- Beast tooth. - It's so big.

It can't be a snake tooth, right?

Qian'er, take them back first. I'll look around here some more.

See? He's that way again.

He is being thoughtful about you.

Would you rather that he scolds and beats you every day?

Qian'er, watch out!

Heavens! So many snakes!

These spirit snakes aren't easy to deal with. Be careful.

Let's watch out for each other.

Did all the snakes run away?

- Yes, they ran. - It looks like we're safe.

Generally, the spirit snakes should keep chasing without stopping.

So why have they withdrawn on their own today?

Was I just sitting on its back?

I knew it. Those small snacks have run away.

It's because their ancestor is right here!

[Mountain Swallowing Python]

Mountain Swallowing Python!

The spirit beast that's ranked 86th on the Journal of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Oh no, we're doomed.

Mubai, wait! My turn this time!

Big Snake!

- Mu Chen! - Mountain Swallowing Python, come on over!

Mu Chen, you won't be able to kill Mountain Swallowing Python by yourself.

Are you alright?

Mountain Swallowing Python, come on over!

Mountain Swallowing Python, come on over!

Come on over! Come catch me!

Mountain Swallowing Python, why are you only chasing me?

I've already given you half the jar of beast blood and my clothes.

You... why don't you change your target?

Forget it. If I have to die, I'll just die.

Mu Chen.

L...Luo Li!

Mustard Seed Coin.

Still Mustard Seed Coin? Is that all you know to say?

You saved me just now. By ethos, even my life belongs to you.

But I really do not have your Mustard Seed Coin.

I never lie. Heaven and Earth are my witnesses.

If you don't believe me, just take my life.

Without Mustard Seed Coin, cannot find Jiu You Sparrow.

Jiu You Sparrow?

Is it a spirit beast?

Luo Li, even thought I don't know where the Jiu You Sparrow is,

but since I'm the one that lost your Mustard Seed Coin,

I will definitely find it for you.

Can't find it.

If we can't find it here, we'll go to Bei Ling Academy.

If we still can't find it there, we'll go to the Five Colleges.

If we still can't find it in the Five Colleges, I will take you across the cosmic world.

I'll definitely find it.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Just my clothes got torn a bit.

- Where are Qian'er and Mubai? Are they alright? - They're back there.

It's good that they're alright.

Miss Luo Li, you were so cool just now.

It was like a Heavenly God descending upon earth.

I've never seen anyone with such moves.

How about.. you take me in as a disciple?

I don't have a good teacher anyway. I'm very diligent in studying.

No. No teaching.

Senior Brother, why is the Xue Sheng Tribe so insistent on taking Luo Li?

You probably don't know that the Divine Tribes are different from Human Tribes.

They will combine the two parties' spirit veins.

Luo Li carries the purest bloodline in Luo Sheng Tribe,

so she naturally becomes the target for Xue Sheng Tribe.

Of course, there is another possibility.

Xue Lingzi may have fallen in love for Luo Li.

Luo Li's identity is still unknown to others in the academy.

It's not a problem.

But I'm afraid that the Xue Sheng Tribe

will secretly harm the other students.

Luo Li probably can't stay

in Bei Ling Academy.

But, if Luo Li doesn't stay in Bei Ling Academy,

we won't be able to protect her.

What if she is sent to Jiu Land?

Jiu Land?

I only trust Mu Feng within Jiu Land.

It's alright to send Luo Li to another place,

- but... - What are you concerned about?

It's that rascal, Mu Chen, of course.

He is the biggest troublemaker in Bei Ling Academy.

If she is sent to Herds Land,

isn't it giving trouble to Mu Feng?

Other than that, we don't have another solution.

Alright, I will notify Mu Feng.

Then find a chance to send Luo Li to Herds Land.

Alright.

Just tear my clothes.

Enough, don't talk so much.

Move your hand.

With the clothes you are wearing,

you look very pretty.

It's already dirtied. Not pretty at all.

Enough then.

How do you feel now?

We still need to hurry and find Mu Chen.

What's wrong?

I'm fine.

Forget it.

Let me help you.

Heavenly Spirit Lotus. It is known as Anti-Snake Grass.

Empty.

There's a cave ahead of us. Let's go take a look inside.

There is no bloody odor in the cave. It should be safe here.

- Are you alright? - I'm fine.

Who killed the Mountain Swallowing Python?

Who else could it be? It wouldn't be me.

Junior Sister Luo Li, you killed that Mountain Swallowing Python all by yourself? Could it be that

- you've already reached Sheng Puo Realm? - Mubai, forget about that big snake.

Mubai, look at this.

Why is it like this?

Complete exterior. Empty shell.

No spirit energy at all.

Touch and it breaks.

This place used to be full of spirit energy.

That's why it has so many spirit vegetation. It shouldn't be like this.

This can't be what the trial is about.

Of course not. These spirit vegetation are more valuable than I am.

Why would they sacrifice so many of them?

No empty.

By looking at all this,

only the spirit vegetation are affected.

This is Mountain Swallowing Python's cave.

But I've never heard that it has this power.

When who could it be?

Don't you want to know where these vegetation's spirit energy went?

Their spirit energy is very low.

We can't find it. How will we search?

I can think of a method.

But I cannot accomplish it by myself.

You mean, you want my help?

Among the four of us, other than me, only you know how to use spirit formations.

- What is this formation? - Spirit Finder Formation.

I've only heard of it from ancient books. It can detect the spirit energy's location.

But it's a rare formation, so not many people know it.

And the formation is very complex. How did you learn it?

I don't have any spirit energy, so I have to learn other things.

Otherwise, how can I deal with gangsters like your cousin?

Stop that. Clearly it's because you've been skipping scchool

and got punished by copying spirit formation so many times.

I just discovered that you are becoming biased.

Enough then. I'll give it a try.

Can you really do it?

This formation is complex.

I'll try again.

That direction.

Longyuan Lagoon.

Isn't Longyuan Lagoon where the auspicious sign is?

It's also the home of Supreme Black Dragon.

He's always been respected by our tribe.

Respected?

It doesn't mean he is good.

Dad, didn't I tell you? [Young Mu Chen]

I saw the Black Dragon and White Dragon fight.

White Dragon also said Black Dragon killed many innocent people.

Thanks.

You should have discovered too, that

Longyuan Lagoon's spirit energy did not come from Heaven and Earth.

There is an abundance of spirit energy between Heaven and Earth.

To gather spirit energy, there is not need to slaughter living beings.

This is a serious matter. We must go back immediately to notify our fathers.

- This is not skipping school, is it? - Of course now. We will leave immediately.

We? Why are you going?

I will go with you to Herds Land to notify your father.

- My dad believes you anyway. - What about us?

You and Luo Li will go to notify Teacher Mo.

What are you doing?

I want to take a spirit plant to show my dad.

Mu Chen used the Spirit Finder Formation to see that these plants' spirit energy

has been drawn toward the direction of Longyuan Lagoon.

That's why we guess that the reason for the abundant spirit energy around Longyuan Lagoon

is because it is drawing the energy from other places.

If it continues, the entire Bei Ling area will be affected.

I'm afraid what happened ten years ago will recur.

Are you sure that you saw the spirit energy being drawn toward Longyuan Lagoon's direction?

I'm sure. We all saw it.

Wait. What is the incident from 10 years ago?

Ten years ago, I witnessed it myself inside the Dragon Palace.

Black Dragon was full of evil fury when it injured White Dragon.

Black Dragon is not a benevolent being.

I can imagine what he is guarding is probably something evil.

This involves an ancient legend.

It's normal if you haven't thought of it.

Have you heard a song's lyrics?

"When Nine Eyes appear,

the Evil Lord rises."

Uncle Mu, you mean...

The eye in that lagoon is the eye of the Evil Lord?

At first, I was just guessing.

[Longyuan Lagoon] You all have seen the great power

of the eye inside the lagoon.

Even though I've set up a boundary at the center,

more guarding is still needed.

Supreme Black Dragon, I don't know if I should say something.

Lord Mu, please speak.

The spirit energy in the Cosmic World all sourced from Heaven and Earth.

We sense the energy between Heaven and Earth

and inhale it into our bodies to condense it into spirit power.

Be it Human Tribe, Divine Tribe, or Dragon Tribe, it's the same.

Even though the eye in the lagoon has great spirit power,

but where is the source? Will it really bless us?

It is still a great unknown.

In that case,

why don't you try it, Lord Mu?

Alright.

Lord Mu,

do you still have any doubts?

Everyone, please follow me to the Dragon Palace for a chat.

But, looking at how it is now,

I got it right.

I plead that Uncle Mu will ally with Willow Land to overcome this calamity.

I would like to.

However, your father and I have an old grievance.

I think he will refuse.

Personal grievance pales against such great calamity.

I will do my best to resolve the conflicts between our two families.

Mubai, I believe you,

- but will your dad believe... - No more.

An alliance between Herds Land and Willow Land is the best way.

Even though the chance is dim, but I would do my best to try.

Mubai, let's go together to Willow Land.

Good.

Dad, Lord Liu is especially suspicious about you.

It's best that I go. I have better oratory skill.

Chen, you return to Bei Ling Academy first. Dragon Palace has many spies.

This matter must be kept under secrecy. We must be very careful in carrying it out.

Furthermore, you and Mubai have not returned yet.

It will definitely arouse suspicion.

Mubai, I will disguise myself for this trip to avoid detection.

Mubai, I'm entrusting my dad's safety to you then.

Safety first. Don't worry.

[Liu Qingtian, Lord of Willow Land]

- Father. - Mubai? Why are you back?

I have brought a visitor to you.

Brother Liu, we haven't seen each other since bidding farewell at Longyuan Lagoon.

[Ten years ago] Just as I said earlier,

This auspicious sign must be safeguarded.

I wonder what your thoughts are.

All of you just saw with your own eyes

that the spirit power was pulsating in the lagoon.

The Spirit Gathering Formation around the lagoon is set up for the guardian.

Anyone who practices cultivation there

will be benefited greatly.

Supreme Black Dragon, our Willow Land will be glad to shoulder the responsibility.

Good!

Lord Liu is smart.

But, what about the others?

Do you have any dissent?

Herds Land is willing to join the guarding of

Longyuan Lagoon.

Longyuan Lagoon devours spirit energy?

Brother Mu, are you getting senile?

Do you forget that we fought for the guardianship of Longyuan Lagoon ten years ago?

Father, I witnessed how a spirit plant dispersed into ashes upon touch.

Mubai, you are too innocent.

You are easily fooled. It's normal for flowers and plants to wilt.

Even if the spirit energy is drawn out,

it's because they have died first

so that Longyuan Lagoon can draw out the remaining energy.

Isn't this more reasonable?

Brother Liu, have you ever thought of how

Supreme Black Dragon used to despise Human Tribes, but would share this beneficial thing with us?

Even if i is truly an auspicious blessing that is meant to benefit the world,

why did he set up a boundary to hide it?

I know that our two lands have had skirmishes.

But, this is about the safety of the entire Bei Ling area.

If the skin is gone, where will the hair stay?

By that time, the conflicts between the two of us will be meaningless.

What do you want to do then?

We should avoid open battles and letting people find out.

Let's secretly investigate whether that thing inside Longyuan Lagoon

will devour spirit energy

- to attack us in reverse. - If you are right,

Bei Ling area's spirit power is gradually being reduced.

- What do we do then? - We should all unite and destroy it.

Brother Mu, do you think Supreme Black Dragon is fake?

Do you really think with our two families, we can actually defeat him?

Brother Liu, don't worry. I have a way to quash Supreme Black Dragon.

Do you really have a way?

I didn't mean to hide it from you, but it's not fully built it.

Herds Land has been moving mountains filling seas for ten years to prepare for this calamity.

I definitely will not play games with the lives of the people.

Brother Mu, you are outstanding in the use of formations.

Alright, as it is,

I agree.

We will meet at the Longyuan Lagoon at that time.

Farewell.

Safe trip.

Father, you are letting go of old grievances for the sake of all.

I am deeply grateful.

Mubai, I hope that you will focus more on studies going forward.

Don't get so involved in these matters. You are Willow Land's Young Lord.

You will be the Lord of Willow Land in the future. To you, the most important

is safeguarding safety and benefits for Willow Land, not the entire Bei Ling area.

- Understand? - Father.

Enough now. Go back to Bei Ling Academy.

We'll talk about this matter later.

Go ahead.

Ten years. You've prepared for so many years.

Is it really just for one Longyuan Lagoon,

and not about my Willow Land?

Spirit formation.

I don't have spirit energy, so I have to try harder in other subjects.

Spirit Plant. Any result?

Not yet. But if the other side wants to draw out all the spirit energy,

- then it's right to safeguard the spirit energy. - Will it work?

There are as many spirit formations as the stars in the sky.

But if there is a way to draw away the spirit energy,

I believe there is a way to safeguard the spirit energy.

No spirit energy.

Good.

Are you being too hurtful?

The person is good.

What did you say? Say it again.

Are you complimenting me?

I'm actually quite surprised.

Longyuan Lagoon shouldn't be like this.

The situation at Longyuan Lagoon isn't clear yet.

Have you ever been to Longyuan Lagoon?

A long time ago, I went.

What happens at Longyuan Lagoon is't just connected to the Dragon Palace.

Its spirit-gathering result is also many times of that Bei Ling Academy's Spirit Gathering Formation.

People consider it a beneficial place to cultivate.

So it's only speculation about Longyuan Lagoon drawing out spirit energy.

Do not talk about it with others.

- Spirit Gathering Formation? - You don't even know about that?

Spirit Gathering Formation is a most common formation.

Any cultivator who meets the basic criteria will choose to cultivate at the Spirit Gathering Formation.

It's because you can double the effect of your work.

You still don't understand?

How about this? I'll take you to the Spirit Gathering Formation early tomorrow morning.

It's agreed then.

Qian'er, why are you here?

Why can't I come to read?

How is your wound?

It's fine now.

Oh right.

- This is for you. - What is it?

It's for you to have precaution, so you won't be afraid of snakes from now on.

I don't want it. Can you quit thinking about gifts?

You don't have that talent.

Actually, I have something else to give you too.

Move your hand.

- You made this yourself? - I don't know how to do anything like this.

I asked our manor's worker to do it.

I'll accept this. You should keep the anti-snake medicine for yourself.

With you around, why would I need any anti-snake medicine?

Have you decided which college to go to?

I am currently at Spirit Wheel Realm.

So I probably should go to Blue Sky Spirit School or Divine Spirit School.

By the way, I heard that you haven't decided.

You are the top student at Bei Ling Academy. Why are you hesitating?

- You must be going to Bei Cang Spirit School. - I don't want to go there.

You are not going to Bei Cang Spirit School?

Where do you want to go?

I haven't decided.

Wherever you go, that's where I'll go.

I...

Where I go has nothing to do with you.

Then I will go to Ten Thousand Phoenixes School.

- How will you follow me? - No problem.

The Five Colleges are close to one another. I will visit you every day.

Where are you going?

To cultivate at the Spirit Gathering Formation.

A waste is a waste.

Liu Yang, restrain yourself.

Mu Chen, I don't care whether you sleep or cultivate.

But you are taking up two people's space. Isn't it a waste of resources? Please move.

Liu Mubai, someone is using this spot today.

Why don't you change to another place to cultivate?

Luo Li, come over quickly.

This is the cultivating place we talked about yesterday.

It's where they cultivate. I don't have any spirit energy.

So, I can only watch.
