- Master. - How is it?

That force has almost finished absorbing.

Open the Eye of Heaven.

Yes.

Mu Chen!

Take Qian'er away. I'll hold her back.

Go away? You are in my domain, yet you want to leave?

It's all useless.

- Mu Chen! Mu Chen.- Mu Chen!

Fight with me? You really should just obey me.

You lowly humans...

[ The Great Ruler ]

[ Episode 6 ]

Luo Li, where do you think you can run to?

Consider yourself lucky today. We'll withdraw.

Yes, yes.

What is that strange thing?

I'd better get rid of you all first.

Mu Chen!

- Luo Li. - The eye in the sky has appeared again.

The bird's egg is absorbing spirit energy. What should we do?

While the eye in the sky absorbs spirit energy, we can hold off for a while,

but the bird's egg is controlling Qingshan.

Also, we cannot ignore the classmates who have been captured.

Luo Li, let's get rid of the bird egg first.

I understand.

Luo Li!

Strange. This person has Luo Shen Tribe's bloodline.

That works out well, too. It'll help me break out of the shell.

Luo Li!

Mu Chen, Jiu You is about to crack out of the shell.

Hurry and leave.

Luo Li, hold on. I will not run away this time.

I will definitely save you all.

Jiu You, I haven't lost yet.

Does everyone see this?

The giant eye has appeared in the sky over the Bei Ling Prairie.

Everyone, we have to rush to the Bei Ling Prairie now. Otherwise, the kids...

Let's go!

Didn't you say you want me as your snack?

Your cultivation level appears to be the lowest among the few of you.

That's probably why you've lasted until now.

Lowest cultivation level?

- I think you're afraid of me. - Afraid of you?

Fine, you are asking for death. Don't blame me for being ruthless.

Rascal, you ambushed me!

Likewise.

[Jiu You Sparrow]

Jiu You Sparrow...

Mu Chen!

Mu Chen...

Before I could absorb the Eye of Heaven's spirit energy, it was destroyed.

My senses aren't wrong. I can't believe Fu Tu Mantra actually has an heir.

- Interesting. - Fu Tu Mantra? Could it be...

The Nine Eyes have been providing me ever-flowing spirit energy for my resurrection.

We are now at the most crucial moment.

It seems that Fu Tu Mantra's power can hurt the Nine Eyes, and affect the progress of my resurrection.

I absolutely cannot allow that to happen.

Back then, when I was distracted fighting the Heavenly Lord, Qing Yanjing took the opportunity

and sealed me with the Fu Tu Mantra.

Today, the Fu Tu Mantra even destroyed one of my eyes.

I don't care who this person is.

Even if you must search the entire Bei Ling area, you must find him!

Otherwise...

Godfather, don't worry. I will not disappoint you.

However, Bei Ling is overseen by the Supreme Black Dragon.

If necessary, I'll let Black Dragon cooperate with you.

You can just do whatever you see fit.

Yes!

After I resurrect, the first tribe to disappear will be the old Fu Tu Tribe.

I don't care who will call up the Fu Tu Tower in this war;

you must, in the fastest time, make him disappear.

Qian'er! Qian'er!

Qian'er...

Are you okay?

Where is Mu Chen?

Mu Chen.

Mu Chen!

Mu Chen, wake up.

Mu Chen...

Mu Chen, wake up.

Who are you?

You are...

Mother.

Chen, you've grown up.

Mother, I saw you in a painting before.

Silly child, do you want to tell me anything?

Yes, I do. I have so much to talk to you about.

Mother, those bad guys... where are they imprisoning you?

Mother, wait for me.

I will definitely become strong; strong enough to defeat all the enemies.

I sealed your spirit veins to protect you and your father from their harm.

But Fu Tu Tribe's Grand Fu Tu Tower has appeared twice.

I'm afraid your unique bloodline will not stay hidden much longer.

Sooner or later, it'll be discovered.

Mother, what are these?

Chen'er, this is the Grand Fu Tu Mantra.

I'm giving it to you now. You must cultivate well.

Mother, I will!

Mother... Mother!

Don't leave, Mother!

Mother... Mother!

Chen'er, you must cultivate the Grand Fu Tu Mantra well.

I'll be waiting for you.

Mother, don't leave!

Mu Chen, you're finally awake.

Luo Li.

I...

- Where am I? - We've been right here, at the Jade Spirit Tree.

Is everyone fine?

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

We are all fine. This is great.

Where is the Jiu You Sparrow? Did you get its blood essence?

The Jiu You Sparrow... is inside your body.

How could that be?

Because of the fluctuation of the spirit energy, it broke through its shell earlier.

But because its power isn't completely mature, it can't live in this world by itself.

She could only cling to the one closest to her.

That person was you.

Luo Li, don't worry.

I will force out the Jiu You Sparrow, and get its blood.

Mu Chen!

Go and die!

Wait!

Mu Chen, what happened?

Jiu You Sparrow is inside my consciousness.

It suddenly rushed toward me and said it would take my life.

It probably wants to devour your consciousness and take over your body.

Mu Chen, promise me.

During this period of time, don't enter your consciousness again.

The Sparrow is still quite weak and won't do much to you,

- but you still must be cautious. - But...

I will think of a way to get Jiu You Sparrow's blood myself.

You just need to promise me not to do this again.

I promise.

Father.

What you saw was a tower emitting a golden light?

That's right.

It helped you suppress Jiu You Sparrow?

That's right.

Father, what's the matter with you?

Inside you is the Grand Fu Tu Tower of the ancient Fu Tu Tribe.

Fu Tu Tribe?

- That's mother's tribe. - That's right.

Inside the body of every person of the Fu Tu Tribe, there is a Grand Fu Tu Tower.

The purpose of the Fu Tu Tower is defense and suppression.

However, only your mother can use the Grand Fu Tu Mantra to make this Grand Fu Tu Tower appear.

I heard your mother say that, through increasing spirit energy and cultivation,

this Fu Tu Tower will also keep increasing its tiers.

The more tiers there are, the more Fu Tu Tower's suppression power will strengthen.

Your mother successfully cultivated to the ninth tier.

That's why she could suppress the Evil Lord.

You've inherited your mother's divine tribe bloodline.

Naturally, you have a Grand Fu Tu Tower inside you.

Back then, in order to hide your body's spirit veins and power,

your mother set a spirit lock that sealed your spirit energy.

Who would have expected that the appearance of the evil eye would absorb the spirit lock from inside your body?

Consequently, the Grand Fu Tu Tower also reappeared.

I should have told you about these things earlier, when your spirit energy first appeared.

But at that time, I hesitated and ended up delaying all this.

Chen'er, in the Bei Ling Prairie, you destroyed the evil eye in the sky.

The Evil Lord has surely noticed you.

The only way to face this danger, is by cultivating the Fu Tu Mantra.

However, when your mother left, she didn't say where the Grand Fu Tu Mantra is.

The Grand Fu Tu Mantra?

- Father, did Mother leave a spirit stone with you? - Yes.

I want to see it.

Okay.

- Father, Mother never left us. - What do you mean?

The Grand Fu Tu Mantra is hidden in this.

Chen'er, I hope you can fulfill my dearest wish.

Father, she is your wife and also my mother.

Don't worry, I will definitely rescue Mother.

Chen'er, since you've already comprehended the Grand Fu Tu Mantra,

I think you can use it to refine the Jiu You Sparrow inside you.

What does that mean?

It means to devour the spirit beast inside you, and completely absorb its spirit energy.

If I do that, will the spirit beast's consciousness disappear?

Of course.

Mu Chen, promise me.

During this time, don't enter your consciousness again.

Why is the tower missing?

You are... Jiu You?

- So you have a human form? - A spirit beast's normal form is originally human.

You don't even know this?

Then... how did you enter my body?

When my shell was destroyed, I couldn't withstand the spirit energy around me.

I could only hide inside your body.

Who knew I'd end up choosing a descendant of the Fu Tu Tribe?

I can only blame myself for being unlucky.

What are you afraid of? Back then, I attacked you because my spirit energy suffered a blow and I lost my reasoning.

Now that our blood veins are connected, I won't do anything to you.

Our blood veins are connected? I've never heard of such a thing.

This means that one of us will be devoured by the other.

Can't we co-exist?

We would have to share our spirit energy.

Who wants to share that with someone else?

I'm willing to share.

You won't refine me, and you'll even share your spirit energy with me?

I haven't learned that yet.

Dumb.

So what you mean

is that our connected blood veins will force us to share both victory and defeat.

- But just now, you... - I just didn't like the sight of you.

- Then are you going out?- Go out? How am I supposed to go out?

I have lost most of my spirit energy.

It's already difficult to maintain my human shape, not to mention getting out of here.

How about this?

I will give you a portion of my cultivated spirit energy, until you can get out.

What a joke! It's not really easy to cultivate spirit energy.

Such action would slow your spirit cultivation immensely,

and may even prevent you from reaching a higher realm.

How are you going to help me?

I originally thought you were just a bird.

I didn't expect you could turn into a human being.

With someone inside my consciousness, it seems really weird.

Don't think that I don't know what you're up to.

You just want me to go out, so you can take my blood.

I was indeed originally going to do that,

but after you turned into a human, I got rid of that thought.

Hypocrite!

I never lie.

- Why don't we make a deal then?- Say it.

Do you know why I stayed atop the Jade Spirit Fruit Tree?

I was traveling, and noticed the abundant spirit foundation of the Jade Spirit Fruit Tree.

So I decided to stay there and cultivate.

I transformed into an egg to increase the absorption rate,

so that I could become Jiu You Nether Sparrow more quickly.

Of course, that was just my perfect dream.

So, that day, you didn't actually want to take our lives?

Of course not!

I just wanted to absorb more spirit energy.

If I hadn't evolved quickly, and you took my blood, that would have killed me.

Therefore, if you help me evolve into the Jiu You Nether Sparrow,

I will carefully consider whether I should give you some blood or not.

This deal... sounds pretty good.

Then I promise. What do you want me to do?

Share your spirit energy with me.

Come get it. Feel free.

I might absorb all of your spirit energy.

I lived for more than ten years without spirit energy anyways.

I got used to it long ago. Do whatever you want.

- Do you mean it?- Of course.

Then it's a deal. I'm going back to cultivate.

What?

Nothing. Leave.

He really is stupid.

Luo Li, I always see you alone here.

This yard really resembles ours at home.

When I was in the Luo Shen Tribe, I often dazed off in the courtyard, alone.

I like this yard too.

In the past, when I was naughty, my father would beat me in this yard.

Is Jiu You still entering your consciousness?

Not anymore. After last time, she hasn't tried to devour my consciousness.

You still shouldn't let your guard down.

No one has encountered this before.

What if she devours your consciousness again?

- It's all my fault. - How is it your fault?

If I didn't need Jiu You's blood, you wouldn't have ended up like this.

If I was given another chance to choose, I would still do it.

Luo Li, do you know that Jiu You can leave my consciousness?

Leave? What do you mean?

In other words, not only can she stay inside my consciousness,

she can also fly out of my body.

Then... will you be in danger?

- I won't, because... - Stop!

Why did you enter your consciousness again?

Mu Chen, didn't you promise me? It's dangerous.

What if someday she devours your consciousness? What will you do?

It's because I want to help you fulfill your wishes.

Luo Li, I've already made a deal with Jiu You.

As long as I can help her evolve into the Jiu You Nether Sparrow, she will give me some blood.

Then, you can rise up as a goddess.

I originally thought of leaving tomorrow.

Leaving tomorrow? Why?

Is it because you couldn't get Jiu You blood?

Then you won't leave anymore, right?

Thank you.

Don't be so courteous. Plus, you still have to be my teacher.

Being nice to my teacher is what I should be doing.

It's been a while. How is the plan to find the heir to the Grand Fu Tu Mantra going?

Aren't you slacking too much?

Godfather, I wouldn't dare.

This involves the ancient Fu Tu Tribe.

I am just concerned that your plan may leak.

So I took extra time to consider it.

My plan requires cooperation from the Supreme Black Dragon.

I will get Black Dragon to fully support you.

I do not like being disappointed.

Yes.

You've thought it through?

I must participate.

Father, I've started cultivating spirit energy.

If you insist on participating, I will not disagree.

However, if you are defeated,

I won't be able to guarantee your entrance to Bei Chang Spirit School.

Father, I was weak and could only hide behind others to save myself.

I was only able to persist through my will power.

Even though you said having a strong mind is the real strength,

without skill, it all comes to nothing.

I can't hide behind others all my life.

I can't fight difficulties just with beliefs, all my life.

If I continue like this, when a really strong enemy arrives,

whatever will power I have, will be useless.

I wouldn't even be able to speak of it.

Father, do you remember what I promised you that day, at the cultivating chamber?

Okay.

A real man dares to act and take responsibility.

I hope you won't regret your decision today.

Don't worry, I will not regret it.

Chen'er, you must remember one thing.

Do not rush into danger recklessly.

Your Supreme Being, it's been a long time.

How are your injuries?

No need for you to worry. What is Master Wen here for?

Godfather has ordered me to investigate the destruction of the Eye of Heaven.

He must have already notified you.

I know that you are still wounded.

So I especially sent a helper to assist you.

I am Faceless Daoist. Greetings to Your Supreme Being.

Things are extremely complicated in the Bei Ling area.

You know nothing about it.

It's still better for me to lead.

Godfather has already ordered me to be in charge of this.

Do you want to disobey my godfather's orders?

Master, it seems that His Supreme Being doesn't want to admit that he is subordinate to you.

What did you say?

Please don't be angry, Your Supreme Being. I was rude.

As it is, I ask that you two to fully cooperate,

and help alleviate Godfather's worries.

If Master Wen doesn't have any other instructions,

you can leave.

Anyway, I think Master Wen

doesn't really feel like chatting about the old days.

Spit it out.

I have a plan. Are you interested?

What plan do you have?

The Eye of Gathering Source is still absorbing spirit energy from the Bei Ling area.

But His Evil Lordship hasn't been pleased with the absorption speed.

If you can start an opportune war while searching for the Grand Fu Tu Mantra,

then the Eye of Gathering Source can gather even more spirit energy.

Through this, Your Supreme Being can also recover your previous power.

What do you plan on doing, then?

I've decided to observe the Bei Ling Academy first,

and see who has the Grand Fu Tu Mantra.

Good.

I will wait for you at the Dragon Palace.

I hope you'll forgive me for being impudent.

Don't worry about it.

Students, ten days later,

we will restart the selection competition, using the same procedures.

The appearance of the giant eye in the sky, as well as the attack by the Xue Shen Tribe,

have made us realize many dangers surround us.

Therefore, we decided to let all students enter the Five Colleges.

The rule that only five can enter Bei Cang Spirit School, remains the same.

The student ranked first among those five, will become the disciple of Ling Xi, the Dean of Bei Cang Spirit School.

Additionally, since we have 11 students in the competition,

after a discussion with all the teachers,

we've decided that Liu Mubai, the top student at this year's exam, will get a pass in the first round.

From the remaining ten students, we will select six people through elimination,

and determine their ranking through a qualifying competition.

- Liu Mubai, let's practice cultivation together. - Alright.

Luo Li, you don't want to accept me as a disciple, but can't we at least practice cultivation together?

It'd be very difficult to practice cultivation with me. Can you handle it?

You must be kidding. I am nicknamed the Number One Iron Man in Bei Ling.

No matter how hard it is, come at me.

Two steps southeast. You lose.

You lose again.

Number One Iron Man in Bei Ling?

You've improved a lot.

Of course. I still have new moves I haven't used yet.

I just don't want you to see them today.

Again.

The Five Colleges exam, round one, officially begins.

Congratulations to these six students. We will now determine the top five rankings.

Next is the first team of the qualifying competition.

Qian'er, this is my last strike. Are you ready?

Go ahead, come at me.

Both of them lost their fighting capacity at the same time.

It will be considered even. There is no winner.

The second team: Liu Mubai and Xu Tong.

I have only one request. You must fight with full force.

Your request is unnecessary.

[Liu Mubai]

How are you doing? Have you recovered?

I'm fine. Teacher injected us with spirit energy.

How were you so fast? Where's Xu Tong?

Xu Tong almost burned into a bald head with his Five Elements Joint Formation.

He can't even talk now. He dropped out.

Dropped out? You were too vicious!

I didn't mean to.

When you compete, doing your best means paying your opponent the highest respect.

Besides, as the Young Lord of Willow Land, I got a pass in the first round,

so of course I had to prove myself in front of everyone.

That again. When will you stop with your justifications?

Now that Xu Tong has dropped out, what's happening to the rankings?

Teacher Mo said that the remaining five will automatically advance.

You and Qian'er were tied, so you don't need to fight again.

I will be fighting for the place of the designated disciple with whoever wins between Mu Chen and Luo Li.

- Still, you can't... - This is good. At least we don't have to fight anymore.

Don't blame him.

Let me ask you. In this situation, if it were you and me, what would you do?

Of course I'd do my best.

What did you say?

Are you able to hurt this?

Actually, I wouldn't be able to.

But doing one's best shows true respect.

Also, our school is encouraging fair competition. Therefore...

You are such a blockhead.

Luo Li, I will prove myself in this fight.

Let's see what you've got.

Mu Chen, if this is all you have, you'd better admit defeat fast.

You... what do you see?

- I can't see anything. - What's going on?

I know that spirit formations are useless against you. I only wanted to lure you into the smoke fog.

Luo Li, watch it!

How did you discover me?

My senses.

I lose.
