TWO YEARS LATER

-What a handsome guy. -He's so handsome.

TENGYUN HALL

When this Xuantie Soul Chasing Sword

free falls vertically

to a lightweight spring,

its elasticity compresses after it comes into contact with the spring.

What would happen during the compression process?

The maximum elasticity level of the Xuantie Soul Chasing Sword

must be over twice its weight.

Touching the spring

would increase its speed for some time.

Very good.

The physics of flying swords

is the foundation of the Imperial Sword Technique.

That was like a giveaway question.

I hope you'll study hard.

Don't try to reach what's beyond your grasp.

Understand?

-Yes. -Yes.

I hope everyone thinks about this carefully.

I have absolutely no idea what Elder Fang He is saying.

That guy is incredible.

You've never heard of him?

He's the Successor Disciple in our batch.

People call him Lingjian Genius.

He got the highest grade in all our subjects

for the past two years, including Mathematical Logic,

Foreign Language,

Nine Continents History,

Immortal Cultivation Etiquette,

and even Knitting.

In his own words, it's called,

"the perseverance of achievers."

He's already a genius at the Kinesthetic Stage.

How will we survive this?

He's the Successor Disciple after all.

CANGJING LIBRARY

Wang Lu, you're studying so hard.

Going to the Cangjing Library to read again?

You're indeed the Successor Disciple.

You even walk differently.

I really can't stand you.

You know I have to carry you in here every time.

You even ate so much.

HOT SPRINGS

This is an Invisible Talisman.

Just stick it to yourself

and nobody would see you.

Since it's so useful,

it's not easy to buy.

I normally use this

to see where Lu Li hides his valuables.

Also,

I will use this to peek at Ling'er when she bathes.

All right.

You only have one and a half hours.

These are all the books that only Inner Court disciples can read.

Go ahead.

This is too hard. I don't quite get it.

It's fine, I've made notes.

I'll lend them to you later.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Wang Lu.

What do you think?

This third-tier spell has lots of butterflies.

You've learned it after reading it once.

I really think you have Sharingan.

What's that?

Actually, I'm only familiar with spells

and techniques related to talismans.

Regarding attack and recovery techniques,

they're hard for me to learn.

You learn magical spells instantly.

Controlling talismans seems natural to you.

What else do you want? Fly to the sky?

It's all thanks to you.

In the past two years,

you used your identity as the Successor Disciple

to sneak me into the Cangjing Library.

However,

haven't you been able to learn any techniques at all?

Yes.

Aside from physical training,

I don't know any techniques.

I originally thought

I'd only learn very slowly by having Void Spiritual Root.

I never imagined

that I couldn't cultivate immortality at all!

Wang Lu, don't get agitated.

Didn't your master come up with any ideas to help?

Don't mention her.

It infuriates me when she's being mentioned.

If she's not drunk, she tells me to run and soak in baths.

My skin is so pale from soaking.

She even used all my salary and allowance to buy wine.

And I even fantasized

about her a bit

when she became my master two years ago.

I was too naive.

The things that Fifth Elder do are unexpected indeed.

What do you plan to do next?

What else can I do?

Just go with the flow.

Go down the mountain with me.

Go down the mountain?

I can't do that.

I still need to train.

And you have Elder Hua Yun's history class this afternoon.

Her class is so hard to get into.

Elder Hua Yun is very approachable.

She's nice to new disciples.

Are you kidding me? You always use training as an excuse.

Are you that lame?

Furthermore,

I really don't get how the likes

of Zhu Qin and Wang Zhong can become Inner Court disciples.

Yet someone as outstanding as you is an Outer Court disciple.

I really suspect that Lingjian Sect is a scam.

Speaking of Zhu Qin,

I heard those Inner Court disciples

are going to end their isolation training soon.

They must have learned many techniques.

Based on Zhu Qin's personality,

he'll surely give you a hard time again.

You must be extra careful.

Bring it on. He's just in time.

I can dump all my frustrations on him for the past two years.

You plan to use...

I plan to use

my brain, silly.

Let's go.

Your brain.

Nine Turns Life Continuation Glue is different from the others

due to the size of its particles.

As long as you remember that,

use reverse calculation

and you can easily know the original formulation.

You're incredible, Wang Lu. Thank you.

May I ask how the Facial Change Technique is executed?

Use colorful meteor balls.

The way to use meteor balls

lies in the color combination.

Violet counters darkening.

Green eliminates blotchiness.

-Gold increases vitality. -You sure do read a lot.

Use these principles properly

and you can execute the Facial Change Technique easily.

-Okay. -All right, that's all for today.

Wang Lu.

-I still have a question. -That's right.

What can I do for you?

It's unique to have Void Spiritual Root indeed.

Incredible.

It's like playing with fireworks in front of a grave.

-What do you mean? -It scares the dead.

We haven't seen you for two years.

We're completely different from you now.

I heard that you haven't learned

any techniques in two years.

Having Void Spiritual Root is like...

Not using the proper materials to make coffins.

What does that mean?

Fooling dead people.

What a shame.

In a sect like ours,

what's the use of just talking without any action?

I think

people should become mature soon.

Learn how to see yourself clearly.

Immortality cultivation is based on fate.

This Heaven-settling Hammer is a magical treasure that Zhu Qin and I made

during our isolation training.

We were friends before.

Today, I'll give this Heaven-settling Hammer to you, Young...

To my fellow disciple.

Use it for self-defense.

For self-defense?

Wang Lu.

Only the Inner Court disciples can cultivate this treasure.

Disciples just by name like you might not be able to see it your entire life.

Entertain yourself with it.

Have you lost your minds while training at the Inner Court?

You made this crap after training for two years?

Are the Inner Court standards this bad?

For crap like that,

I can have as many as I want.

That was the extent

of that thing both of you made?

Hammers must be hard, of course.

You can have this hard hammer.

Wang Lu, since you're so great in Treasure Maintenance,

you must have gotten a perfect score.

Of course Wang Lu got a perfect score in the Treasure Maintenance subject.

Not only that,

but he also got perfect scores in other subjects.

So what if he's good at theories?

He'll fail when an action is required, understand?

Everyone, get to class.

Let's go.

Today, I magically showed you

some glimpses of the bloody battle that lasted for 1,000 years.

In reality though,

what really happened was much more gruesome.

Regardless,

we finally got peace which is very precious.

This memorial records all the heroes who sacrificed their lives

in that bloody 1,000-year battle.

The battle lasted for 900 years.

Then, 100 years ago,

Lingjian Sect's Golden Disciples fought

under the leadership of our Head Disciple, Ouyang Shang.

Almost everyone who joined the battle died

and defeated the last of the demon allies.

It also completed and ended the 1,000-year battle between humans and demons.

OUYANG SHANG

XUANYUN HALL

Wang Wu.

Promise me.

Live happily.

Wait for me to come back.

Wait for me.

Ouyang Shang!

Head Disciple.

Hundred years have passed.

You'll surely come back to me,

right?

Zhu Qin, why haven't I heard from you in the past two years?

I was also curious why you haven't contacted me

in two years.

What were you doing in the past two years?

The night I joined the sect,

Elder Liu Xian took us to Xingchen Valley for isolation training.

I just got out of isolation today.

Xingchen Valley?

It's the restricted ground in Lingjian Sect.

The Great Xingchen Spell within it shuts off all immortal frequencies.

No wonder I couldn't contact you.

I'm the careless one.

Never mind.

It's not your fault.

But that thing has been delayed for two years already.

The leaders can't wait anymore.

We might need to use extreme methods

and we need your cooperation.

Just tell me what to do.

I'll surely do my best.

I'll think of a way to do it.

If you succeed,

you'll be regarded as our hero.

If you fail,

don't blame us for being ruthless.

Wang Lu.

Since you've provoked me,

don't blame me for not considering you as a fellow disciple.

CANGJING HALL

I heard you really shined during History class yesterday.

When have I not shined?

You're so full of yourself.

However, yesterday's History class was spectacular indeed.

Even Outer Court disciples like us are talking about it.

That means your assignments are too few.

The point is no one ever thought

that Lingjian Sect's Golden Disciples

were the key to end the battle

between humans and demons.

There were 100 of them.

How glorious was that!

It was once glorious.

Now, just a few old men are left

and also my master.

The ways Fifth Elder do things might be quite eccentric,

but she's indeed one of the Golden Disciples

who survived.

She must have really amazing skills.

As if.

She might have survived by relying on her shamelessness.

Think about it.

They've battled together.

They should have a really close relationship.

It has been two years.

I haven't seen anyone in Wuxiang Peak.

That shows how unpopular my master is.

Wang Lu just beat you by pure luck.

I'm sorry.

Wang Lu.

What are you doing here?

You're here to study too?

Why? Were you humiliated in class before

and wanted to avenge yourself?

You should worry about the predicament

of this little fellow beside you.

This is a special library.

To Outer Court disciples,

this is a restricted ground.

Wang Zhong.

If the elders

find out about this,

what would happen?

If Outer Court disciples enter a restricted ground,

they'll get 100 beatings.

The one who brought them in

will get 80 beatings.

I, Hai Yunfan, did this alone.

It has nothing to do with Wang Lu.

We're fellow disciples, pretend it didn't happen.

Pretend it didn't happen?

Should we believe that you did this alone?

My Spell-breaking Eyes is a top-notch immortal technique.

It can store everything I see.

Then, the Executing Elder can use the Projection Technique

to replay everything that happened earlier.

Spell-breaking Eyes?

Don't you just have pink eyes?

See if I'll let you get away with this.

What the heck.

Never mind.

We're all fellow disciples.

I won't give you a hard time.

Just do me a favor.

Then we'll forget about this.

What favor?

I'd rather be punished than do anything unethical.

Do I seem that bad and despicable to you?

Wang Lu.

If you're a man,

let's have a fair fight.

Today at 3 p.m.,

at the training grounds out at the back.

I'll forget about this regardless of who wins.

You know Wang Lu has Void Spiritual Root. He can't learn the techniques.

How is that fair?

I knew you'd say that.

To be fair,

let's do three-on-two.

-No. -No.

Two-on-two.

Wang Zhong and I against you and Hai Yunfan.

Wang Zhong.

Are you sure you want to fight me?

Wang Zhong, say yes.

If you win, you win against yourself.

Wang Lu.

I want to fight you.

We're all fellow disciples.

Just forget about it.

And we'll be punished if we fight.

There are Monitoring Spells all around Lingjian Mountain.

If the elders find out,

we're doomed.

I'll use a talisman to break the Monitoring Spell.

I'll take responsibility for it.

What do you say, Wang Lu?

If you're a man,

let's have a fair fight.

Sure.

Don't cry if you lose.

Xiaohai, let's go.

Wang Zhong.

Let's read some books.

-Wang Lu will win. -Wang Lu will win.

-Xiaohai will win. -Zhu Qin will win.

Wang Lu will win.

-Wang Zhong will win. -Xiaohai will win.

-Zhu Qin will win. -Wang Lu will win.

-Xiaohai will win. -Wang Zhong will win.

-Wang Lu will win. -Zhu Qin will win.

Xiaohai will win.

-Wang Zhong will win. -Wang Lu will win.

-Xiaohai will win. -Xiaohai will win.

-Wang Lu will win. -Wang Lu will win.

-Xiaohai will win. -Zhu Qin will win.

-Wang Lu will win. -Wang Lu will win.

-Wang Zhong will win. -Xiaohai will win.

-Wang Lu will win. -Zhu Qin will win.

Xiaohai will win.

He said we'll fight in private.

This is too much.

I knew this would happen,

but I didn't expect

that I'll have so many fans.

Don't look.

They're looking at me.

Xiaohai will win.

Wang Lu will win.

You know that

I'm mainly skilled in controlling and assisting techniques.

I can't perform attacks.

As for Wang Zhong,

how will you deal with him?

If we lose in front of so many people,

it would be humiliating.

Don't worry.

In my dictionary,

the word "lose" doesn't exist.

-Xiaohai will win. -Xiaohai will win.

It's time to prove yourself.

Wang Lu.

I admit that since we were kids,

I've always looked up to you.

However, I've also worked hard for the past two years.

You don't have any future in cultivation.

Let me wake you up

and send you down the mountain to live an ordinary life.

Let's do it.

How lame. You're even afraid of this kind of mouse.

Wang Zhong.

When you were nine years old,

you went to steal sweet potatoes in Wang Xiaohu's house

and was forced up a tree by three hamsters.

You were there for four hours.

-You even peed your pants in the end. -No.

I think you've forgotten about that.

Here.

Let me remind you.

Wang Lu. You...

You're too shameless.

Xiaohai, it's your turn.

Well.

Who is that?

-Who is that? -Who is that?

-I don't know. -He's too despicable.

Zhu Qin.

Even if you can't win against us,

don't ask someone to ambush us, okay?

Don't talk nonsense.

I'm not that lame.

Why isn't that person moving anymore?

Should we tell the elders?

But fighting in private is against the sect's rules.

We're doomed too if the elders find out.

Don't tell the elders.

But if the elders find out...

This is what we'll do.

I know a Successor Disciple.

I'll ask her to take a look and see if she can heal him.

What if you don't come back

and blame it on us?

Are you stupid?

So many people are watching us.

Forget it.

Wang Zhong.

Stand up.

Go.

Bring my token.

Go to Lingxi Pond of Tongming Peak.

Go.

Hi, are you Liuli Xian?

Who are you?

I'm Wang Zhong, a disciple from Piaomiao Peak.

I have a favor to ask.

I brought you a token.

A token?

Show it to me.

Corn?

You're Wang Lu?

Who are you?

I'm Liuli Xian from Qingyun Peak.

Wang Lu.

Do you know what you've done?

Face him.

Face him.

Face him and tell him.

Face him.

Face him.

You don't look like a good person.

Why don't you surrender now?

Go and see the Executing Elder with me.

Face him.

Why are you acting so aggressively?

What does that mean?

You don't ask what happened and order people around.

Isn't that acting aggressively?

What does "ordering people around" mean?

Why are you here?

He...

He told me to come.

If I tell you what he wants me to say,

he'll give me sweet corn.

I get it now.

I've said it already.

Can you give me the sweet corn already?

That one.

Is she kidding?

Just for sweet corn?

-I guess so. -I can't beat you. Here.

Thank you.

Corn!

-I've never seen that side of her. -This is so good.

Liuli Xian.

You're a Successor Disciple.

That's just an ordinary piece of corn.

But it's really good.

Xiaohai, give me an Exploding Talisman.

Liuli Xian.

I'll give you something better.

Really?

EXPLODE

It's really delicious.

This is really good.

-She... -Wang Lu.

Can you be my good friend from now on?

Give me delicious food to eat daily.

Well, Liuli Xian.

Can we save him first?

Someone's lying down here.

That's right.

That's the priority.

Go and help him up.

Let me check on him.

He vomited blood.

What's going on?

-Why did he faint again? -Goodness...

What if the elders find out?

What should we do?

He's not dead, is he?

He's

dead?

Wang Lu.

He was fine earlier.

How could you kill him?

Damn you! Don't spurt nonsense.

Food is very important,

but Master said

that if someone dies,

I have to capture the killer and turn him over to him.

Otherwise, I won't get any good food anymore.

Wang Lu.

Even if I told you that you're my good friend,

you've killed someone now.

I still need to turn you over to Master.

I hope you won't blame me.

Hey.

Did you see me kill him?

Both my left and right eyes

saw that he died

when you touched him.

You're a boaster.

Surrender. You can't beat me.

-Isn't that Seventh Elder? -Seventh Elder?

He's Seventh Elder.

-Master. -The legendary Seventh Elder.

Seventh Elder.

Master.

I'm Seventh Elder of Lingjian Sect, Ao Guanhai.

-It's really Seventh Elder. -What?

-Really? -Really?

Master, why are you here?

As a Successor Disciple,

why are you fighting with a fellow disciple?

Because he...

Me?

Because he...

-Because he... I... -Me?

I forgot.

Wang Lu, tell my master

how you infuriated me.

Tell him. I forgot.

Liuli Xian, how can you say that?

I've always respected and admired you.

How would I know why you're suddenly fighting me?

No.

You've infuriated me.

Tell him.

-How did you infuriate me? -I didn't.

-You did. -I didn't.

-You did! -That's enough.

Stop it.

You both broke the rule by fighting in private.

Go to the memorial to reflect on yourselves

and await your punishment.

Yes.

The three of you, follow me.

Are we going?

What should we do?

XUANYUN HALL

Guanhai, what happened?

How did someone die?

Ever since we recruited new disciples two years ago,

all kinds of sect rules have been broken.

I must strictly impose the punishment this time.

And use them as examples to others

to enforce our sect's rules.

Fang He, don't be concerned with finding faults first.

Not only does this involve new disciples,

but my Successor Disciple, Xiaoliuli, was involved too.

I've already told her to reflect on herself.

These are the witnesses.

Let's find out what happened first before imposing punishments.

THE MEMORIAL

Steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tail,

roast duck, roast goose,

pork stew, duck stew, soy duck, sausage,

-preserved egg-- -You forget things in three seconds.

-Why can you remember dishes so well? -"Dishes"?

What's that?

What are you doing then?

This is the Calming Mantra that Fifth Elder gave me.

It's really effective.

Listen.

Steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tail,

-roast duck-- -Liuli Xian, stop.

Let me ask you something.

Seventh Elder,

your master...

Who is he exactly?

I won't tell you about my master's secret.

Steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tail,

roast duck,

-roast-- -Who's asking you? I already know.

My master told me already.

Seventh Elder was possessed while training for a powerful technique

and he went wild.

Then the Sect Leader locked him inside the cauldron for 49 days.

In the end, a monkey came out.

It flew thousands of miles away.

Then, your master laid there like burnt coal.

Of course not.

-You're lying. -It's true.

It's true.

It's not true.

My master migrated from the Xiyi Continent with his parents when he was little.

He even got separated from his family

and was almost sold by human traffickers.

Then, he met Fifth Elder while training down the mountain.

He noticed my master's immortal power when he was in danger.

That's why he got accepted into Lingjian Sect.

-You-- -It's fine.

Our masters are good friends. I won't tell anyone about this.

They're not.

Seventh Elder.

Wang Zhong.

Zhu Qin.

Were you two involved?

No, Master.

We were just watching. We weren't involved in the fight.

You weren't involved?

Liuli Xian never concerns herself with what's happening outside.

You mean she has nothing better to do

then go to Piaomiao Peak to cause trouble for herself?

Someone fainted earlier.

We had no choice.

I asked Liuli Xian to help.

What's wrong with that?

Help?

I think you've planned it all along.

What did you say?

Don't accuse me.

There are so many elders here.

That's enough.

You. Tell us!

What exactly happened?

Lower your voice.

That's my disciple.

Lu Li, I can't control myself.

Wang Zhong.

I'm your master.

Tell me slowly.

Tell us everything you know.

Tell us! Don't be afraid!

Earlier this morning,

Zhu Qin and I went to Piaomiao Peak

to discuss academic matters with Wang Lu,

but I don't know why

I infuriated Wang Lu.

He charged towards me

and wanted to beat me and Zhu Qin.

It was so chaotic back then.

Suddenly, someone screamed.

That outsider

suddenly laid by Wang Lu's feet.

He was even holding--

Wang Lu!

It's him again?

What was he holding?

A knife.

So Wang Lu killed him?

He's lying!

Wang Lu didn't kill anyone.

That guy just fainted back then.

Don't interrupt.

I can tell who's telling the truth.

Go on!

Back then, I was so confused.

I didn't know what to do.

Okay. Get to the point.

Third Elder.

Let me speak on his behalf.

Back then, it was so chaotic.

I said we should save the person first,

but you also know

that Wang Lu has a bad temper.

I was afraid of having a misunderstanding with him.

He's a Successor Disciple after all.

Inner Court disciples like us

can't afford to offend him.

-Zhu Qin. -But saving the person is the priority.

I thought of asking Liuli Xian to come.

First, she has great powers, so she might be able to save him.

Second, she has status.

She might be able to handle Wang Lu.

Should he act so wildly just because he's a Successor Disciple?

He shows elders no respect

and he's so arrogant.

He even

held a knife to harm others?

That asshole.

There's one thing I don't understand.

Xiaoliuli usually lives in seclusion.

Without my command,

how did you get her to go there?

I...

I...

I brought a piece of corn.

Corn?

What corn?

This is what happened.

I heard Liuli Xian likes sweet stuff.

So I gave Wang Zhong a piece of corn I had with me

in case I need a snack.

Saving the person is the priority.

No wonder.

Liuli Xian caused so much trouble in Lingjian Mountain

just for a piece of corn.

Then why did they fight?

Because when Wang Lu helped that outsider up,

he suddenly bled all over

and died on the spot.

Liuli Xian thinks

that Wang Lu is the culprit.

That's why they fought.

All right.

Should we still go on?

It's obvious now.

I'm telling you,

Wang Lu killed that man

and is always pugnacious.

Fang He.

Since when have you called the shots with matters concerning Wuxiang Peak?

That's not manly at all.

If you have something against me, deal with me.

Why dump your frustrations on my disciple?

What are you talking about?

Don't spurt nonsense here.

That's not it?

Then...

Could it be that you like me

and want to marry into Wuxiang Peak?

Wang Wu.

You're saying such foul things

in front of so many disciples.

Is that appropriate?

Never mind.

Every one of you is so great.

While I'm not around,

you question my disciple,

frame your fellow disciple,

and criticize a senior disciple.

What's next? Deceive our master and destroy our ancestors?

Wang Wu, I wouldn't dare to do so.

I was out and I just came back a few days ago.

I didn't know that Wang Lu is your Successor Disciple.

It's fine now. We'll release him.

Guanhai.

You don't have any principles at all.

You won't even admit that you're stupid.

Isn't there a body?

Just examine it.
