Original subtitles

- Dean Ling!- Come in.

Dean Ling, Mu Chen is in trouble.

What?

Greetings, Dean Ling Xi.

Greetings, Dean.

His spirit is in disarray. I can't help him.

Mu Chen. How do you feel?

Why are you all surrounding me?

- You are...? - This is Dean Ling Xi.

I sensed really dark red power flowing through your veins.

This power is full of violence. I'm afraid it will affect your temperament.

What happened?

Your eyes... are cured?

Teacher He Yao cured my eyes.

But Luo Li seems mad.

It's fine, Mu Chen. She will understand this situation.

Something seems weird with Jiu You, too.

Has she been affected too?

She's okay for now. I have suppressed her.

Come with me.

[The Great Ruler]

[Episode 18]

Dean.

I'm sorry about what happened before. I...

You could have become my last disciple.

I didn't know you were the Dean back then.

Since you know it now, would you change your mind and become my disciple?

I already considered you as my teacher when you taught me the combination formations.

Did He Yao really cure your eyes?

The dark red power

must have something to do with He Yao's healing method. Even Jiu You was affected by it.

It seems that it has caused a really bad side effect.

Teacher He Yao did warn me.

He said I was hit by Xue Shen Tribe's Black Nether Blood Curse.

Although I can see now, the poison has not been fully cleared.

He hopes that I can return to him, to receive treatment for a while longer.

He Yao has always been unrestrained when doing experiments, and takes a lot of risks.

I suggest that you don't continue receiving treatment from He Yao.

Dean, how is Jiu You?

Jiu You was suddenly attacked by you, and suffered quite a shock.

Is she in danger?

But I fear it will be hard to regain her mental ability.

I was thinking, since both of you are connected through your veins,

you can awaken her.

This is the Psychic Spell Mantra.

After cultivating this, it will not only increase the Jiu You power that you have in you,

but it also means that Jiu You does not have to be confined within your body,

and risk having this happen again.

Thank you, Dean.

Jiu You...

I'm sorry.

Jiu You... It's me.

I am Mu Chen.

I won't hurt you again.

You don't need to eat in Fu Tu Tower, but you still get hungry?

Jiu You.

Don't be scared. Give me your hand.

Jiu You.

Believe me. Close your eyes.

Jiu You!

It seems that I can't succeed in one go.

In the past, I always complained that you were noisy.

I never would've thought that you'd become quiet now

because I hurt you.

Jiu You. Because I was trying to cure my eyes, you got in this state.

I will help you get better as soon as possible.

May I ask if you have seen Luo Li?

I haven't seen her since yesterday.

Good!

Luo Li! Luo Li!

Luo Li! Where are you?

Mu Chen?

Don't be afraid. You will get better once I learn the Psychic Spell Mantra.

When that time comes, you can go anywhere you want.

You won't be trapped within me anymore.

I can finally come out!

I was going to die from boredom in the Fu Tu Tower soon.

Jiu You, that's great!

What's wrong with you? You never appear.

I don't even have anyone to talk to.

This place is just that big... I can't even fly freely.

Aren't you happy for me?

Of course I'm happy.

It's just that Luo Li hasn't appeared the whole day.

Jiu You, with your speed, you should be able to find someone very easily, right?

Luo Li has only been missing for a day, yet you're already panicking so much.

Of course I'm worried. She hasn't appeared for the whole day.

For me, it's not hard.

But give me a reason why I should help you.

I owe her an apology.

Okay, okay. You owe me one too, then.

Did I see wrongly?

I wonder where Luo Li went.

Why did I agree to help Mu Chen find her?

Never mind. Anyway, I've finally come out!

How many people did the Black Dragon send?

What's his purpose?

I will say! I will say!

Lord Mo Xingtian personally brought people here.

We were going to make our move, when the Bei Cang Spirit School's Protection Formation was broken.

Who would have thought that it would be restored so quickly?

Mo Xingtian?

You blended in with the common people.

What's the purpose of this?

I don't know.

To transform the common people into puppets for our Dragon Tribe,

and use them as a threat. I am just a nobody.

I only know this much. Let me go.

Senior.

If I'm not mistaken, they blended in with the common people

because they want to use the common people to force us to open the enchantment.

What you're saying makes sense.

Seems like we have to go back

and report this to Dean Ling Xi.

- Greetings, Supreme. - What's the progress?

The spy that I planted has been caught by Shen Cangsheng without any hitches.

I believe they already know by now that we are using civilians as hostage.

Very good.

I don't believe that they can continue to peacefully seclude themselves.

It's so strange. The Dragon Board turned red. That means someone went into Thunder Land.

Is there still someone in Bei Cang Spirit School that can go in to train?

It costs a lot of spirit leaves to get into Thunder Land.

The movements of their spirit leaves are changing so fast. I wonder how far they have reached.

- Luo Li?- In Thunder Land, your spirit leaves will still rapidly increase, even if you are just standing and doing nothing.

Is this the Walkway of Trees Pearl?

This Walkway of Trees Pearl is an indispensable treasure when it comes to the technique of space formations.

Why would it be here?

The attributes of this Walkway of Trees Pearl seems to be incompatible with this place.

It would not just appear here without a reason.

Are you saying that someone, deliberately...

Let's go.

Teacher, did someone enter Thunder Land yesterday?

Yes. Someone named Luo Li.

It takes a lot of spirit leaves to enter Thunder Land.

- How did she do it? - She pawned her sword.

- Are you referring to the Luo Shen Sword? - Yes.

How did this happen?

How many spirit leaves can I get in exchange for this?

The quality is gentle and soft. You can trade it for 200.

How many spirit leaves do I need to buy back the Luo Shen Sword?

Not much. 16,000.

I knew you would come here as soon as I saw the Dragon Board.

- Luo Li really... - She did it in order to find the Jade Knot.

How many spirit leaves are needed in order to enter?

It probably isn't enough even if we combine both of ours.

Mu Chen, come with me.

Actually, I heard that the entrance of Thunder Land is at the cloister.

But we always pass through the cloister on our way to class, and never saw anything.

How will we know if we don't try?

Anyway, we can only ride the dead horse like it's alive now.[T/N: Chinese idiom meaning "It's our last chance."]

Then... are you a living horse, or a dead horse?

Jiu You!

It's your fault for ignoring me just now. I'm not going to help you find the entrance.

How can that bird know how to talk?

Has it turned into a spirit?

Mu Chen, where did you find this guy?

You're the one who's become a spirit.

Don't you dare belittle me, by comparing me to such low-life creatures.

That's the Jiu You Sparrow. You have seen her before.

Jiu You Sparrow?

It's that thing which locked me up during the test...

Be quiet.

Don't be scared. We are connected by blood.

Connected by blood? When did this happen?

You're hiding things from me again.

Qingshan! Qingshan, there is something else you need to help me with.

Only you can help me.

What?

Tan Qingshan!

Senior!

- What did you come to find me for? - Senior, drink this.

Why are you acting so nice today?

I just wanted to talk to you for a bit.

I still need to patrol the halls. I don't have time.

Senior, please wait!

I would like to ask you about the history of Bei Cang Spirit School.

The history? What do you want to know about?

For example, when was our school founded,

who the founders were... I want to know all of this.

Why are you interested in all this?

Senior, I'm not very educated. Just tell me.

Okay.

Bei Cang Spirit School's founding date is unknown,

but it has thousands of years of history.

Because it's been such a long time,

the founder's name is unknown.

Then, why was it built on Bei Cang Mountain?

Bei Cang Mountain is a valuable land, with good feng shui.

There is rich spirit energy here, so it's helpful for cultivation,

especially at the main peak.

This is why this place was chosen.

How was the Dragon Board formed?

The Protector Magical Beast of Bei Cang Spirit School is the Northern Sea Dragon.

It's at least 5000 years old.

It has been protecting our school for thousands of years.

They built the Dragon Board in honor of the Northern Sea Dragon.

And the Dragon Board guards the forbidden area of Bei Cang Spirit School, Thunder Land.

Thunder Land?

Nothing else? I'm leaving.

Senior, just one more thing.

Why are so many spirit leaves required to enter Thunder Land?

Come to think of it, hundreds of years ago, entering Thunder Land didn't require that many spirit leaves.

I remember reading

that only 8,000 spirit leaves were needed back then.

- 8000? - Until one day, when dozens of our school's top students went in,

and ended up dying there. For the safety of our students,

the amount of spirit leaves required increased to 18,000.

So that's how it is.

Well, since this Thunder Land is so amazing, does that mean there are multiple ways to get in?

Of course! Besides exchanging for the access key, we, sisters...

Why are you asking me this?

Just because. I'm just curious.

Senior, don't worry.

I am still young. I don't want to die yet.

Do you have some ulterior motive? Don't you dare trick me!

Why would I dare trick you?

This is a secret. Make sure you don't tell anyone.

Are you done asking?

I'm done.

I'm leaving.

- Teacher Ye. - How come you've come back so quickly this time?

We received information that Mo Xingtian has left the Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Slaves might have already blended in with the common people.

This is not a small matter. Let's leave now.

How are things going with Mu Chen?

We'll be successful very soon.

Don't disappoint me.

Also, build a Transfer Formation within the Bei Cang Spirit School as soon as possible.

Transfer Formation?

I will send someone to sneak in and coordinate with you,

and take down Bei Cang Spirit School together.

I will present the Spirit Energy of everyone in Bei Cang Spirit School to Godfather, as a gift.

But the enhancement surrounding Bei Cang Spirit School has been fully sealed now.

- How would the Space Stone... - Is there a problem?

Please rest assured. I will get the job done.

I certainly hope so.

- Teacher. - Come in!

- Teacher. - Yes?

Luo Li has already entered Thunder Land.

How did Mu Chen react?

He wants to get into Thunder Land, but he doesn't have enough spirit leaves.

This is good.

Having one less troublesome person involved is good for us.

I also discovered something else.

There's a student who is able to enter and leave Bei Cang Spirit Academy with Shen Cangsheng.

- Who? - If I'm not mistaken, it should be Liu Mubai.

Liu Mubai?

Dean, I don't understand. Why don't we just seal Thunder Land?

Thunder Land is indeed dangerous.

But opportunities come with dangers.

It's their luck to be able to get the Thunder Land pass under such strict requirements.

Not to mention that cultivation is about fighting against fate.

But it will be so dangerous

if everyone starts to follow Luo Li and exchange spirit leaves to get into Thunder Land.

Perhaps she has some compelling reason,

which is why she pawned the Luo Shen Sword.

But not everyone has a rare precious weapon like that.

It's very hard for other people to get into Thunder Land using this method.

- Dean. - Come in.

You came back.

- Dean.- Dean!

Looks like the second token I gave you has now come into use.

This is Liu Mubai. His natural ability is not any less than mine.

What is even more rare, is that he is an expert in formations.

Greetings, Dean.

Not bad.

Did you come back this time because you have some news?

Black Dragon sent Mo Xingtian to lead the Dragon Slaves to create trouble near the Bei Cang Spirit School.

Now, the Dragon Slaves have blended in with the civilians.

The people of Dragon Tribe are naturally strong.

Even the Dragon Slaves have cultivation levels that are much higher than the Human Tribe.

It will be difficult for us to stop them if they start hurting the civilians in nearby towns.

I have studied Bei Cang Spirit Formations for many years.

We're almost reaching the end now.

By then, we can change to an initiative position.

Please protect the people while we are building the formations.

- We will!- We will.

Dean, Bei Cang Spirit School is protected by the Grand Formation.

It will be hard for Black Dragon to break in, no matter how many people he sends.

In fact, the people of Dragon Palace must be in despair.

It's a great time to pry for information.

Brother Shen and I can go together.

I am not against your suggestion.

But... you must be careful. Don't take any risk.

Rest assured, Dean.

It seems I've underestimated Thunder Land.

- We need to find a way to get out. - No. We have to find the Jade Knot first.

Every maze should have some kind of pattern.

Could it be the exit?

Xuantong!

Silly boy, I am done fooling around with you.

Bastard! Let go of the Goddess!

Goddess!

This isn't it.

I heard Thunder Land's entrance is nearby.

Wait!

This place seems like it has an entrance.

No! Mu Chen, listen to me.

Why don't you give it a hit? It will be easy to spot if there really is one.

- Listen to me first! - That seems logical. You hit it.

Me? I won't.

I will get locked up if I destroy public property.

What is Jiu You doing?

It's right here. Can you look over here?

The spirit energy here is very weak. It would be hard to notice.

Jiu You, how did you find out?

I thought I told you before. There's a magical place in Bai Cang Spirit School.

It's here? Why didn't you say so earlier?

I have been trying to tell you.

Be good, Jiu You. Don't cause any chaos.

This door inhibits spirit energy. Special power is required to open it.

Normally, it would be difficult for this restraint to be noticed.

It's here! It's here!

So besides the pass to Thunder Land,

there really are other methods to enter.

This is an unusual restraint. There's no way you could just fly through it.

I wonder how Luo Li is doing inside.

Both of you, move away. Let me try to break this.

Let's take a rest for half a day. Prepare everything we need, as soon as you can.

- It's from the cloister. - Let's go.

Who is it?

- Mu Chen? - Senior Shen.

Mubai! You came.

Your eyes.

Long time no see, Mubai.

Are your eyes cured?

- That's great. - Thanks for your concern, Senior Shen.

What is going on?

Luo Li went into Thunder Land. I want to go and save her.

Nonsense!

Thunder Land is a land of despair and danger.

The Dean especially set a very high spirit leaves price, in order to stop students from going in.

Luo Li has only been enrolled for half a year. How could she have accumulated so many spirit leaves?

She traded her Luo Shen Sword for the Thunder Land Pass.

I won't let her be in danger.

Then what do you want to do?

I want to go in and save her.

Are you sure? Even I don't have confidence that I could leave Thunder Land unharmed.

Live and die without regrets!

In order to help heal my eyes,

Luo Li neglected her own safety, and went into Thunder Land to search for the Jade Knot.

I can't let anything happen to her.

You are right.

Although this is another entrance to Thunder Land,

the restraint is not something you can break.

As far as I know,

other than the access pass, the gate to Thunder Land can be opened with a jade pendant.

This jade pendant is being kept by the Ye Sisters.

Senior.

Thank you, Senior Shen.

Mubai, don't try to stop me.

If Qian'er was in a similar situation,

I believe that you'd make the same decision as me.

Mu Chen, Thunder Land is very dangerous.

I haven't been in before, so I can't give you much advice. Please be careful.

Thank you very much, Senior Shen. I can't thank you enough.

Take care.

- Be careful. - I will.

Thank you.

Mubai. You came back?

How long have you waited here?

You are finally willing to talk to me.

Qian'er, thank you.

Me?! Why is it me again?

My eyes haven't fully recovered yet.

If I were to go, I wouldn't be able to find anything for sure.

Fine, but you must keep watch for me.

Don't worry, I will.

Senior Sun'er.

Okay, I know.

Young Master, what the hell were you doing?

Well, you didn't actually get caught.

I can't just block her and not let her in, right?

Also, I prayed for you.

I almost got discovered by her.

Who knew she would come back and change at this time?

- Right. I discovered something very troublesome. - What?

She has that jade pendant on her all the time.

That is quite troublesome.

- Why are you looking at me? - We don't have much time left. We must steal it fast.

That's right... but how do we steal it?

- That's why you are here. - You want me to go again?

Mu Chen, be honest with me. If I had gotten caught just now...

Qingshan.

I'm actually creating an opportunity for you.

Look, there are so many new students, but Senior Ye especially admires you.

With your relationship with her, it would be so easy for you to get that jade pendant.

Hey, we are childhood friends who grew up together, after all.

Are you really going to just push me into the water like that?

Qingshan, listen to me. How about this?

Student, do you want to buy anything?

How much is this Fantasy Sea Spirit Flower?

300 spirit leaves. You can also trade for it using the Barrier Breaking Elixir.

Classmate, you must be joking. It's too expensive.

It's really not expensive. It only blooms once every sixty years.

It is worth at least ten thousand gold coins out there.

Thirty. Will you sell it, or not?

Are you buying it, or not? If you aren't, then leave.

80. 80 must be enough.

The lowest I'll go is 270.

250. If you don't agree, I'm leaving.

Fine, fine, fine. It's a deal.

Senior Ye Sun'er!

Senior.

This is for you.

The flowers are very pretty.

Senior, I especially picked out this Fantasy Sea Spirit Flower for you.

Don't you think that its essence is so much like yours? Please accept it.

Sister, considering how sincere I am; please take it.

Senior, please accept it! It really suits you.

Are you really so cold hearted, that you'll abandon these flowers?

Senior, please accept it.

Senior, it hurts!

Tan Qingshan, you will be punished according to school 's rules if you keep interrupting my patrol duty.

What's going on?

- Senior, please accept it. - Let go!

Senior, I spent so much money on it. If you don't accept it, it will go to waste.

- Senior, come on. - Let go of me.

Tan Qingshan, what are you up to?

I won't bother you anymore.

Stand still!

Tan Qingshan, you've disrupted my work.

I'm punishing you to transcribe for seven days.

Senior, I didn't do it on purpose.

Senior! Senior. Senior!

Jiu You, can you fly up and observe the situation for me?

Okay. Leave it to me.

Mu Chen, Mu Chen! The walls in this maze won't stop moving,

and it's all thunder up there.

But it's okay, come with me.

Okay.

The maze is continuously changing.

It will be more dangerous once we go in.

I wonder how Luo Li is right now.

Never mind. Since I'm already in, I have to find her.

Mu Chen! This way.

Mu Chen, why are you standing there? Are you in a daze?

Jiu You, guide the way for me.

What did you say?

I can't see anything again.

What happened?

- I knew that He Yao— - Never mind about that now.

I am used to not being able to see anyway. Let's go.

Okay. Walk forward.

Go right!

Forward again.

Go left!

Forward.

Go forward.

Yes, walk forward.

Mu Chen! Hurry and run!

Mu Chen, be careful!

Jiu You, what is going on?

Nothing. Let's walk forward.

Let's go. Hurry.

Forward. Go forward.

Right a little. Walk forward.

Senior, I heard that there's a senior brother who wrote a book and wrote about you in it.

Right, I had a dessert yesterday. It was made with pomelo flowers.

It was sweet and fresh. So delicious!

Also, I heard one of our juniors developed a spirit cream.

Once you put it on your face, wow... that change to your complexion! Do you want to try it?

Why do you only care about these type of things?

If you say one more word, your punishment will be extended to ten days.

Ten days?

Senior! Senior, I—

Why are Mu Chen's spirit leaves increasing so fast?

Did he go training...?

Senior, I spent so much money on it. If you don't accept it, it will go to waste.

Senior, come on.

Tan Qingshan, was it you who stole it?

No, it wasn't me!

If you don't believe me, look! I don't have anything here.

Then where is Mu Chen?

He... he...

You two are ridiculous! You're putting lives at risk.

You're punished to ten days of confinement. Think about what you did.

Senior Shen.

Senior.

Senior, please help me. Senior is punishing me to ten days of confinement.

I can't believe he really went into Thunder Land.

Senior Shen, you knew about this too?

He went to go find Luo Li.

It is a pity that I have the important task of eliminating the Dragon Slaves.

Otherwise, I definitely would've gone with him to see the elegance of Thunder Land.
