LOVE AND REDEMPTION

Episode 1 Subbed by Productive Procrastination

Since the ordering of the nebulous void,

the Heavenly Realm ruled over the Mortal and Demon Realms

becoming the leader of the Three Realms.

However 1000 years ago,

the ambitions of the King of the Asuras grew,

unwilling to be ruled over by the Heavenly Realm.

Finally he formed an army of demons and devils

starting war across all borders.

The immortals thought they were of no threat to them

they never expected that the King of Asuras had a powerful general.

The Mosha Star

Luohou Jidu

defeated the army of the Heavenly Realm,

pushing the Heavenly Army back to the Heavenly Gates.

The Heavenly Emperor was shocked and sent many soldiers with Bailin Dijun to confront the enemy

but again they were defeated.

The threat was now imminent,

the Asuras were about to turn the way of the world around.

But at that moment,

many strange things occurred.

Before the final battle,

the Mosha Star suddenly disappeared.

At the same time,

a savior appeared in the Heavenly Realm.

The General God of War.

She never lost any battle she fought and annihilated the Asuras.

The devils had lost their chance with the disappearance of the Mosha Star.

Their army in chaos.

The remaining demons and devils dispersed around the world.

It was rumored the Mosha Star died

because he fell for the tricks of the God of War.

His stellar soul was sealed in the magical artifact, the Crystal Lamp

and hidden in an ancient secret realm.

His primordial spirit however was lost in the chaos.

[1000 Years Later]

But with the changing of the times

the displacement of the stars,

in every millennium the universe would be transformed.

After 1000 years of rest, the primordial spirit that had been separated

finally regained its vitality

and ready to be rejoined again.

And the realm of the demons and devils

were also to preparing for another return too.

It seemed as if the outcome of the war was not determined yet.

If the Mosha Star returned with 1000 years of resentment

then the entire world would be destroyed.

Greetings Sect Leader.

Elder Xingxiu,

were you talking about those two constellations?

Sect Leader,

exactly.

Ever since the Mosha Star Luohou Jidu passed away

these two constellations suddenly appeared.

We call it the Luohou star and the Jidu star.

1000 years ago,

one was in the south and the other in the north

seemingly unrelated.

But today

the two stars suddenly approached closer to each other.

It seems as if...

As if what?

As if there is a chance they may merge.

Could it be...

that he is about to wake up?

Sect Leader.

The primordial spirit of the Mosha Star that disappeared

has appeared at City of Flames.

I sent someone to investigate.

Today half of that primordial spirit will enter

the channel of karma to the Mortal Realm to undergo a tribulation.

You deities who have committed crimes,

you’ve been stripped of your celestial form.

Now that you’re at the City of Flames,

it’s a chance the Heavenly Realm is giving you to regain your celestial post.

Behave in the Mortal Realm.

If you succeed in the tribulation

then there is a chance you can return here.

You are so fortunate.

Hurry up!

Drink from the River of Forgetting.

Don’t delay.

I refuse!

I don’t want to leave the Heavenly Realm!

I only stole a celestial peach. I don’t want to become a mortal!

What is there to yearn about?

Just a boring life.

Forget about it.

It’s best to forget.

There is another matter Sect Leader.

From what I learned,

the General God of War and the Mosha Star

will be undergoing the tribulation together.

The God of War and the Mosha Star will be born on the same year, month and day?

Very interesting.

Sect Leader,

the God of War and the Mosha Star are natural enemies.

Will they affect our scheme to return the realm of devils to glory?

No.

Back then the God of War used the weapon of the Mosha Star,

Juntian Cehai

to seal the soul of the Mosha Star.

We need the power of the God of War and Juntian Cehai

to revive the Mosha Star.

I want both of those children.

Hurry and investigate

where the God of War and the Mosha Star will be born to.

Yes.

Madam, push!

Right.

Push a bit more Madam!

You’re almost there!

Take a deep breath!

Madam!

Madam take a deeper breath!

Push!

Push Madam!

It’s been over 2 hours

why hasn’t she given birth to our 2nd child yet?

Almost there Madam!

Push a bit more!

Surely it’s not a difficult birth?

Who the devil are you? How dare you break into the City of Flames!

Don’t delay!

Open the channel of karma!

Hurry and go in!

Madam! The baby is coming out!

It’s about to come out Madam!

You’ve given birth Madam!

The baby is born!

[16 Years Later]

No one expected

that the wife of the sect leader

would give birth to a stillborn baby

The Sect Leader

was worried his wife would be sad

so he buried the child that night.

Who knew that

something happened in the middle of the night.

Ghost!

What happened?

Why was there the cry of a baby?

When the housekeeper ordered 2nd Miss’ grave to be opened.

What do you think happened?

Senior Brother!

That child was alive!

Our youngest junior sister

held her breath for too long.

You are the disciples of the other instructors

so you don’t know

but our youngest junior has always lacked the 6 senses.

Senior Brother.

What do you mean by lacking the 6 senses?

Let me tell you,

it’s the understanding through sight, hearing, smell, taste,

touch and awareness.

If I put it nicely it means she’s unaffected by everything.

If it put it unkindly,

she’s completely useless.

But she is already 16 years of age.

She does not even know how to cast the basic level of spells of the Shaoyang mantra.

Is that true?

That’s an exaggeration right?

Fine, don’t believe me right?

Then I’ll show you today.

Let’s go.

Ok.

Let’s go and take a look!

Look! Her hand!

She can’t feel pain.

You didn’t believe me now you do right?

We do, we do.

2nd Senior Brother.

is this yours?

Are you ok?

I’m fine.

2nd Senior Brother.

You always play these pranks on me,

can’t you do something different?

But...

Turns out you’re all afraid of this?

Yes.

You can’t feel it

so of course you’re unafraid.

Xuanji!

-Xuanji! -Linglong!

Linglong!

-Xuanji! -Linglong!

Come, show me your hand.

It’s all red.

I’m fine.

Chen Mingjue!

You...

If I see you bully my younger sister again

I will tell my father

to get him to punish you!

And you!

Want a beating?

Junior Linglong, my good junior please don’t be angry.

We were just joking.

Alright.

Linglong!

Don’t take it to heart.

I don’t know that it hurts.

Besides I don’t know how to be angry.

Look.

I told you she won’t mind.

Let me tell you

if you dare to bully my sister again

I will tell Master to flay your backside!

Alright.

Stop arguing.

Xiao Liuzi

whose side are you taking?

I...

Linglong.

Did you forget why Aunt Yinghong told us to come here?

I almost forgot.

Xuanji.

Hurry and go.

I have some good news.

Aunt Hong plans to let us welcome the guests for the Hairpin Tournament.

Let’s leave the mountain now!

Linglong!

How is that good news?

Can I not go?

I want to sleep here.

I don’t want to join them.

-No! -I don’t want to!

No, no.

I don’t want to go!

-Let me go! -No!

The tournament is one of the biggest events of the 5 major sects.

The other 4 sects will be sending skilled fighter.

We can go see if there are any handsome young men.

Let’s go.

Say...

a girl should behave properly. How dare you try to make Xuanji fellow your path?

How am I causing her to misbehave?

I’m 16 now.

Aunt Hong said I can meet the one I like.

Xuanji is 16 this year too.

We can see whoever we want!

Let’s go Xuanji, let’s go!

I...

Using such a ferocious wolf demon as a test

isn’t it a bit risky?

Sifeng.

As expected of my personal disciple.

The only one who

passed is test is Yu Sifeng.

Then the rest of the disciples....

Please spare us Chief! Please spare us!

The Lize Palace never keeps useless people.

Then just like the past.

Strip them of their abilities

and kick them out.

Chief! Spare us! Spare us!

Enough!

You say Sifeng is still young.

He cannot be the head disciple of the Lize Palace

but with his talent

who else can take that role?

When Sifeng

returns after winning Shaoyang’s Hairpin Tournament

I will

give him the seal of the golden feather.

And he will start to manage the affairs of the Lize Palace.

As you’ve decided

then I will obey.

In a few days

we will attend the Hairpin Tournament at Mount Shaoyang.

This is the first time many of our

young disciples have left Lize Palace.

I wish to remind you

What the first rule of the Lize Palace?

We must never remove our mask in front of an outsider.

I’m glad you remember.

You know very clearly what the consequences are

when you remove your masks.

We will always keep that in mind.

Sifeng...

Let’s see who gets to Shaoyang first.

Greetings Sect Leader.

Is there still no news?

Ever since we lost news of the God of War and the Mosha Star at the City of Flames,

why have you not been able to find anything?

Please calm down.

I just discovered the whereabouts of the Juntian circle and the Cehai hook.

Only,

it’s not easy to get our hands on it.

Sect Leader.

It’s related to Wu Zhiqi.

As they are in the hands of an old friend

then I must go and visit him.

I will do everything

to infiltrate our men among the 5 main cultivating sects.

This Hairpin Tournament that happens every 4 years

will be held at Shaoyang.

If those 2 children are among them,

then they must be powerful and surpass the rest.

They cannot hide it.

The Mosha Star and the God of War

entered the channel of karma in the 4th day of the 4th month at 9pm

so they would be born around that time.

Remember,

do not miss a single child

that was born at 9pm.

Yes.

Senior brothers from Xuanyuan Sect, you will stay at the Heavenly Tower.

This way.

Take them over.

Yes.

Xuanji.

Look more awake.

We represent Shaoyang right now.

Don’t embarrass Father.

Ok.

Do you truly not want to stay here?

Never mind go.

Otherwise you won’t even know you caught a cold from the wind.

These two are dog blood used in the ceremony.

Take them back.

You know your way right?

I do.

Open your eyes properly and take a look!

Even if you don’t recognize me but you

should recognize the special sword that Dianjing Valley carries, right?

Those without a name card...

Stop arguing!

Tell me what you wish to say.

Who are you?

The daughter of the Shaoyang Sect, Chu Linglong.

Do I have the right to speak to you?

Linglong?

He doesn’t have a name card and insists on coming in.

You can come in when the elder of Dianjing Valley confirms your identity.

Next.

What if I insist on coming in?

I’m sorry.

You can’t enter without a name card!

Stinky brat!

You’re determined to oppose me?

Fine!

Watch this!

Linglong!

I’m fine.

I have a name card now.

You can let me in now right?

With your measly martial arts,

you think that will work?

Any of us here can beat you until you lose all your teeth.

Even if you go in, it’ll be futile!!

Do you think

you...can stop me?

How can you be so rude?

Don’t be so close to my sister!

Xuanji!

The anyone you were talking about

includes this girl too?

Fine!

I want to see

how powerful the Shaoyang Sect is.

Xuanji!

Xuanji!

Let go of my sister! Xuanji!

Let go of me! Xuanji!

Pull out your sword!

P-Pull my sword to do what?

I don’t want to fight you!

If you don’t pull our your sword I’ll let go.

Don’t! Don’t let go!

I don’t know how to summon my life energy sword!

If you let go I’ll fall!

Are you joking?

Didn’t you just boast you were powerful?

How could Shaoyang let an idiot like you pretend to be a skilled fighter?

I will show you what a skilled fighter is today!

Scared right?

If you’re scared cry.

Cry and say I’m an idiot.

Then I’ll let you go.

I haven’t been able to cry since birth.

Have you had enough fun?

If you have then take me back.

I’m tired.

Fine.

You’re still so stubborn?

Then let’s play something more stimulating.

What to do?

I’ll become a pancake if I fall like this.

Father will say I embarrassed myself.

What are you d-doing, w-woman!

Your clothes are dirty.

I’m trying to wipe the dirt off.

D-Don’t touch me!

Senior Brother,

do you plan to attend that

Hairpin Tournament?

I am the disciple of the Shaoyang Sect.

But I don’t know

why I ended up here.

Can you take me back?

If you take me back,

after I return

I will help you clean this dog blood off you.

N-Not necessary.

What are you doing?

Y-You...why do you s-speak like t-that?

Can’t understand you.

Wait!

Senior Brother!

I-I really don’t know

why I ended up here.

And I don’t know how to fly.

I can’t go back.

Then y-you walk.

No!

It’s too tiring!

I’ve never seen a c-cultivator...as lazy as you are.

Where did you throw my younger sister? Tell me!

Who knows where she is?

She’s so stupid can’t even stand on a sword!

You’re the stupid one!

You lost my sister and say something like that?

Have you found Xuanji yet?

Not yet.

We haven’t searched the dense forest at the valley of clouds.

The landscape is complicated there with demons roaming around.

We don’t have enough people. We need more.

I’ll tell Father.

-She has to be fine. -Linglong!

Xuanji!

Are you ok?

It was this senior brother,

he is so kind and powerful.

He saved me!

That’s good.

You must be from Lize Palace? You have the bearing of the talented.

Unlike certain people

who will only bully others.

Thank you Brother.

I want to go in.

C-Can I register my name?

Lize Palace, Yu Sifeng?

I’m quite curious as to why the people from Lize Palace

has to wear a mask all day and don’t dare to remove it.

What can’t you show to others?

What?

You want to pick a fight?

Come.

Not interested.

Everyone...is...w-waiting...to...enter the Shaoyang Sect.

Turns out you’re a little stutterer.

Who saved a little fool.

Quite interesting!

I heard

you people from Lize Palace have never seen women before.

Just now you had to carry that little fool back.

How did it feel?

Wu Tong!

I think you’re trying to cause trouble again?

I’ll rip open your mouth!

-Don’t! -What are you doing?

Let go of me!

You!

What’s going on?

Why are you arguing out here?

-Aunt. -Aunt.

Master.

I accidentally lost my name card

and while waiting to enter Shaoyang

I played a joke on my juniors.

I fear I upset them.

How was that a joke?

Do people joke like that? You...

Wu Tong!

How can you make jokes like that?

Hurry and apologize to Sect Leader Chu’s daughters.

Yes.

You are right.

I apologize to you two then.

Who wants your apology?

You’re all disciples from the 5 major cultivating sects,

you should all be on the same side.

In the future I hope you can all assist each other.

Elder Chu you are right.

Hurry and same back with me.

Yes.

Aunt.

Are we going to give up like this?

You didn’t see how they bullied my younger sister.

Thankfully Yu Sifeng from Lize Palace

he...

He’s gone?

Xuanji, Xuanji.

Do you know that Yu Sifeng

is the disciple of Lize Palace with most promising future?

But...according to their rules

they must wear a mask every day.

I wonder what they look like.

But I bet that he must be handsome.

Handsome?

I bet that he must be very ugly.

Otherwise why would he wear a mask all day?

I think you’re jealous.

Such a coincidence.

What?

Look.

Yu Sifeng and I

were born on the same year of the same month of the same day.

Really?

Then y-you walk.

No!

It’s too tiring.

Chu Xuanji!

Only thing you do all day is slack off and sleep!

You don’t do anything proper!

You’re already 16 do you know?

You can’t summon up a sword using your life’s energy.

If word gets out

the Shaoyang will lose its face entirely!

Mother!

Why are you crying?

Mother!

If you can see this in the underworld,

see how Father scolds Xuanji

you must be very sad.

You...

Mother said back then

she only wishes for Xuanji to lead a comfortable life,

not to follow the path of a cultivator.

Father did you forget?

Xuanji is only like this because

she was deprived of the 6 senses when she was born.

She is not willing either!

She...

Who can understand her pain?

Alright. Linglong. Linglong.

Mother! Mother!

If you have to punish

Xuanji like this

I will cry to Mother!

Alright, forget it. Don’t cry.

I can understand that

you are slower than the rest.

But....

but that is not the reason for you to not work hard.

How about this?

I’ll give you 10 days.

You must learn the basic level of the Yaohua sword technique properly.

If you slack off again

and can’t do that

then I’ll punish you.

Fine. I knew that would be useful.

Every time I cry to Mother, Father will not do anything to us.

But Linglong,

this...really is useful.

This...is our most powerful weapon.

Not only towards Father.

If you cry to the one you like

as long as he cares about you,

then he can’t do anything to you when you cry.

Really?

But I don’t have tears.

I think

tears are the most precious thing

in the world right.

When you were angry today

did you not feel that your eyes were a little damp

and want to cry?

I was quite angry.

But I felt that I don’t need to care too much about them.

It’s fine as long as you’re happy.

Rather than caring about them,

I would rather go get some sleep.

Then you...

Xiao Liuzi.

You’re here to deliver birthday cake?

I’m the one who delivered it

but the one who told me to prepare it

was Master.

That is the 8 treasures cake.

It’s made from 8 different ingredients.

Father may look strict

but he cares about us.

Hurry and eat.

Xuanji.

It’s delicious.

It’s a shame Xuanji that you can’t taste anything.

Why do you have to mention that can of worms?

Although I can’t taste anything

but it’s fine.

As long as Linglong is happy

then I’m happy.

My Xuanji is such a good girl.

How can Father not be content with this?

Jeez...

Today is that Little Stutterer’s birthday too.

Sifeng.

Sifeng!

Is Sifeng around?

Sifeng!

Sifeng!

-S-someone is looking for you. -Sifeng!

Why...are you looking for me?

Little Stutterer

you forgot to take your name card.

I’m here to return it to you.

Is there anything else?

Oh yes, Little Stutterer.

I’m not Little Stutterer.

Then...why do you

only speak 3 character

3 characters

at a time?

None of your business.

Turns out you

can say two words at the same time.

Leave if there’s nothing.

It’s like this Miss,

because Sifeng spends a lot of time at Lize Palace

and he just arrived at the mainland so he’s not fluent in the language.

Please forgive him.

You talk.

I see.

I forgot to introduce myself.

I’m Chu Xuanji.

Thank you for saving me.

You even brought me back to Shaoyang.

You are the first friend I have

outside of Shaoyang.

Today is your birthday

and mine too.

So I brought you some birthday cake.

We were born on the same day.

Linglong said we have destiny.

What destiny?

Don’t say nonsense.

We’re not friends.

I never eat birthday cake.

Finally found the peach blossom tree.

There’s even morning dew.

Where’s Xuanji?

Master told me to teach her Yaohua sword technique.

Why can’t I find her?

She must be hiding somewhere sleeping.

It’s wrong to steal those bird eggs,

do you know?

You again?

It’s you Little Stutterer?

Why...is it always you?

I’m sorry.

I didn’t mean to pour water on your robe.

There is a stream over there,

I’ll fetch you some water.

-Wait. -No need!

Dew from the peach blossom chayote,

plum pine fruit are called the 3 cleansers drinking a solution from these 3 will help cultivation.

I won’t drink if it’s not peach blossom dew.

Why are you so fussy?

It’s just tea.

Is there a difference?

Never seen it.

Y-You’re so lazy

d-don’t know how to do anything.

Y-You’re poor at enchantments,

no wonder....everyone...bullies you.

Useless.

You!

Although I’m useless

but just now

I didn’t mean to overturn your tea cup!

I just saw a bad snake tried to steal the birds’ eggs.

I wanted to capture it

so I accidentally...

It’s that bad snake again!

Let go! Let go of it!

That’s...my...spiritual beast!

I’m sorry.

I didn’t mean to squeeze it.

It...it’s not dead right?

Tell me,

why...

did you squeeze it?

B-Because...

i-it...

ran over here...

I thought...

it will...

bite me!

Don’t mimic...

how I talk!

Then what do we do now?

Want me to take it to my father to give it a look?

Perhaps

he can revive it?

L-Little Yinhua!

Little Yinhua!

Little Yinhua where are you?

Little Yinhua?

Why is your spiritual beast so disobedient?

My father’s spiritual beast will come out as soon as we call it.

It’s still young.

Still immature.

Don’t talk badly about it.

I feel...something is attracting it over.

This peach blossom grove is a little strange.

We’ve been searching for a long time

but we haven’t found Little Yinhua.

Well...

This peach blossom grove...is a little strange.

Little Stutterer.

Are you hot?

I...

No.

Are you not?

Little Stutterer,

you’re the same age as me,

how can you know how to do so much?

Don’t speak.

This magic formation is complex.

Why are we on the surface of a lake now?

Little Stutterer.

Are you ok?

This isn’t the surface of a lake.

There’s a barrier here.

Barrier?

There really is a barrier.

I know why there is a peach blossom formation outside.

It’s the secret realm of the Shaoyang Sect.

How did we get here?

How...can we get in?

I don’t know.

The Shaoyang disciples are forbidden to come here.

I need to go in.

No, no, no.

T-This is the forbidden area of the Shaoyang Sect.

Without Father’s permission you can’t step foot in it.

Little Stutterer are you ok?

How can I open it?

I...

I don’t know.

It’s not a place we should come.

-Let’s go! -Too late!

I have a connection with my spiritual beast.

Little Yinhua.

It...was sucked in...by something.

If I don’t save it,

it will be in danger.

Open it!

How about this,

let’s go back.

I’ll get someone to help us, what do you think?

Too late.

I...

Then I don’t know what to do.

Look my enchantment skills are so bad

and this is an ancient powerful enchantment

our sect’s most powerful elder cast.

I can’t open it.

If you don’t believe it look,

I-It’s open?

How did I open it?

Open it!

No, no, no.

If my father finds out

then he’ll skin me alive!

Chu Xuanji!

Little Yinhua is about to die.

I...

I-I’ll come out when I save it!

Your f-father will n-not know.

Will he not?

Then I...

Alright.

You helped me once,

I’ll help you once too.

There’s a powerful being in there.

No matter what happens don’t go in.

Ok hurry! Hurry!

Little Yinhua!

Little Yinhua!

Little Yinhua!

Little Yinhua!

Little Yinhua!

Little Yinhua!

Little Stutterer?

Little Stutterer?

Little Stutterer?

Little Stutterer! Little Stutterer!

Don’t bully Little Stutterer!

Don’t bully Little Stutterer!

Don’t beat Little Stutterer!

Let go of him!

Shut up!

Why did you come in?

I’m here to save you Little Stutterer!

Hurry and go!

Little Stutterer!

How are you?

This is the torch dragon. It’s powerful.

You can’t save me.

Hurry and go.

It’s powerful?

Let’s run together!

Let’s go.

Little Stutterer!

Little Stutterer!

Little Stutterer!

Little Stutterer!

Little Stutterer are you ok?

Little Stutterer!

You’re bleeding.

Little Stutterer!

Are you ok?

Little Stutterer!

I’m glad you’re fine.

Little Stutterer!

I’m glad you woke up.

I...

My mask

is missing!

Just now you...

Your face was bleeding,

so I removed your mask.

W-Where’s my mask?

I removed it and...

i-it’s over there!
