What are we going to do, Liu Xian?

How would I know?

What's wrong?
I'm busy reprimanding my disciple.

See for yourself.

Who did this?

Wang Wu, it's all my fault.

I saw an anomaly in the sky

and thought someone
was storming our protective barrier,

so I went out to take a look.

When I returned,
the Pagoda of Kings was like this.

Did you see who did it?

No, I was only gone for a second.
I didn't notice anyone.

Forget it. Just fix it.

How?

I inspected it in detail
before you arrive.

The Pagoda of Kings
is 80 percent destroyed.

Even if we spend
all our spirit stones to repair it,

it won't be ready for another seven days.

Seven days?

The conference will be over by then!

This competition was perfectly designed
for Shengjing Sect's failure is wasted!

We can build an arena overnight
and tweak the rules a bit.

It doesn't have to be so complicated.

Do you think this is a show
to find yourself a wife?

This is the Fabulous Five Conference!

-Then what?
-Enough.

Where would we find another magic tool
to redesign on such short notice?

Enough arguing.

Elder Liu Xian.

Why did you call him here?
Do you want to embarrass me?

It's a matter of grave importance.

Sect Leader Feng Yin is still recuperating
and the conference begins tomorrow.

Can you bear the responsibility?

Welcome, Sect Leaders.

Cut to the chase.

Unlike you youngsters,
I cannot stay up through the night.

Here's the problem.

Wang Wu had meticulously designed
the competition for tomorrow,

but a situation has come up.

The magic tool for the competition
has been inexplicably destroyed

and cannot be restored in time.

Therefore, we have called you here
for an emergency meeting

to ensure that tomorrow's conference
can still convene without a hitch.

I see.

This is quite sudden.

Who would have on hand a magic tool
that is on par with the Pagoda of Kings?

Moreover, I'm afraid
one night isn't enough

to redefine the rules of the competition.

I'm afraid you all could use
some enlightenment.

As luck would have it,

this Gateway of Sentient Beings
was designed specifically

-for the next Fabulous Five Conference
-That...

to be held at Chang'an by Shengjing Sect.

Since an accident
has befallen your magic tool,

I'll lend you
the Gateway of Sentient Beings

as an emergency solution, Fifth Elder.

I don't need--

-We need it!
-Wang Wu, calm down.

Calm down.

Master Shuiyue,
I, thank you on behalf of Lingjian Sect.

Rest assured.
I will keep a close watch on it.

It will be returned intact to you
once the conference is over.

Don't worry about treating it with care.

Shengjing Sect is ostentatious
about their wealth.

They have no shortage of such magic tools.

All right.

I need to go back to sleep

to have enough energy for the competition.

Let's wrap it up.

Fifth Elder, there's no need to thank me.

See you at the competition tomorrow.

-I--
-Hold it.

Wang Wu, calm down.

I bet he did it!

He just saved our lives.

Don't get angry. Keep your composure.

Compose yourself.

Don't break another one.

Well done.

Master.

Good job.

We got rid of Wang Lu and his master
and no clues were left behind.

They won't be able to cheat now.

The Gateway of Sentient Beings
is your magic tool.

Victory is sure to be ours tomorrow.

Not necessarily.

Gateway of Sentient Beings
is named as such

because its virtual challenges
are randomly generated

and cannot be predicted.

That is an advantage and a disadvantage.

Even though I am its master,

I am unable to tell you
what tomorrow's challenges will entail.

Then...

Then we'll still have
to rely on ourselves tomorrow?

What's the matter?

Don't you have confidence in yourself?

No, that's not what I meant.

Rest assured, Master.

I will fully assist Du Songzi

in completing the challenges
as quickly as possible

and help him become the champion
of the Fabulous Five Conference.

Very good.

However, I must warn you.

There are two disciples
you must be wary of.

Xu Zefang of Junhuang Sect

and Wang Lu of Lingjian Sect.

You have to keep an eye on Xu Zefang

while you try to hold back Wang Lu.

Yes, Master.

If those two can be eliminated,

Shengjing Sect will rank first
without a doubt.

It's up to the two of you tomorrow.

Do not disappoint me.

-Yes.
-Yes.

XUANYUN HALL

Wang Lu and Wen Bao, over here!

-Liuli Xian!
-It's been a long time, Xiaoliuli.

I heard you were spanked again.

How can you still
make your master mad at your age?

You know my master's temper.

If I have your master,
he won't bear to bully me.

This is great! We're together again!

The most perfect team!

But what about Xiaohai?

Didn't we promise that the four of us
will always be together?

He has been kicked out of Lingjian Sect.

He is now Master Shuiyue's disciple.

Doesn't that make him a traitor?

All right,
enough with unpleasant thoughts.

We have different ambitions.
Just be glad that we're all well.

Our worth will be proven in competition.

Enrich the spirit of Taoism,
promote the growth of immortal methods.

Embrace the dream of youthfulness
and strive for the glory of success.

I am Wang Wu, the main judge
for this Fabulous Five Conference.

Dear disciples, aren't you surprised

to have a beautiful judge like me?

May you all soar
faster, higher, and stronger

during this competition.

All right, now I will explain the rules.

This year's training tool
is Gateway of Sentient Beings.

What?

Gateway of Sentient Beings?

Wasn't it supposed to be some pagoda?

How am I supposed to become king now?

What's this Gateway of Sentient Beings?

All contestants will enter
through a teleportation spell

and face randomly-generated
virtual challenges.

Points are accumulated
at every checkpoint.

The one with the most points at the end
emerges as the winner

and will be the champion
of the Fabulous Five Conference.

There are virtual challenges?

Will we be stuck there?

That won't do!

If I'm locked inside,

I won't be able to eat
all the delicious food out here!

No way! I'm not playing!

Xiaoliuli, listen.

If you rank first, you'll receive a card

that lets you eat at dining halls
at all the sects free of charge for life.

I want to be number one then!

All right, those are all the rules.

I wish you all a safe return.

Are you nervous yet?

That's the right state of mind.

Run, little ones!

Master Shuiyue, I was expecting
to be impressed by your magic tool.

Turns out,
it still requires manual operation.

How primitive.

The Gateway of Sentient Beings
contains countless training scenarios.

The power of spirit stones
is far insufficient to achieve this.

Spiritual energy
from all Sect Leaders is needed

to maintain operation
and ensure the safety of our disciples.

In addition to that,
the challenges are randomly generated.

That effectively puts an end
to bribery and fraudulent activity.

That is the key benefit.

Listen to that, everybody.

He just indirectly called me a cheater.

I didn't say that.

Fifth Elder, are you feeling guilty?

Who's the guilty one?

Be honest.

Did you send someone
to destroy my Pagoda of Kings?

Give a dog a bad name and hang him.

Save the talk.
I'll just kill you with a blow.

Stop!

Fifth Elder, the magic tool
needs a steady supply of power.

Your beloved disciple's life is at stake.

Stay calm.

The mention of my dear, Wang Lu,
brightens my mood.

He's so handsome.

What is this place?

GATEWAY OF SENTIENT BEINGS

Spatial curvature, 2.6.

Relative humidity, 28.

Abundance of spiritual energy, excellent.

Index of refraction, 42.

The entire space
was put together seamlessly.

However, the degree of weakness
near the stone gate

is far lower
than the thresholds of other spaces.

If my guess is correct,
the entrance is through this gate.

As expected from Wanfa Sect.

Wanfa Sect is known to be an expert
in the cultivation realm.

Zhan Ziye, you were able to determine
various numerical values in an instant.

Impressive.

You flatter me.

Don't be so modest.
I've been looking forward to meeting you.

All that chatter is just bullshit.

We're not blind.

What does it say on the gate?

"Gateway of Sentient Beings."

If the entrance isn't at the stone gate,

would it be on you, Zhan Ziye?

What a joke.

Xu Zefang, do you need
to get so worked up?

Are you jealous over Zhou Mumu?

Nonsense!

I just can't stand all that posturing.

Is that so?

You like her but you won't admit it.

I think you're the one who is posturing.

Is it any of your business whom I like?

It is indeed none of my business,

but you have no chance anyway.

She won't like you.

Don't make such assumptions about me.

Du Songzi,

what did you mean by that?

Others may pander
to Shengjing Sect's whims,

but Junhuang Sect isn't afraid of you.

Really?

If your sect is that amazing,

then why did Hai Yunfan
give up his position as your second prince

to come to Shengjing Sect?

That's because he knew

to renounce the dark and seek the light.

-You're going to die!
-Come at me.

Xu Zefang, calm down.

We're branches of the same tree.
Don't ruin the peace by making a fuss.

CHALLENGE COUNTDOWN TIMER BEGINS

It seems that this gateway
has a time limit.

Let's hurry or we'll miss it.

What's the matter, Wang Lu?

Others have gone on ahead.
What are we waiting for?

-Come.
-Hurry.

Let's go!

Six-Rod Light Prison!

-What's going on?
-I can't get out.

Loser.

Bastard, let us out!

-Release us!
-Let us out!

What are you doing?

Where's my sword?

There it is.

Let us out!

Watch out! It's a trap!

Did you do that?

Wang Lu, you have a good eye.

Shengjing Sect's illusion technique,
Mirage in Water, lives up to its name.

That is such high praise.

No need to be modest.

Your disciple, Du Songzi,
executed this flawlessly.

He first distracted them
with a Flash of Light Talisman

concealed the real gateway
with an illusion,

then created a fake gateway nearby.

Then he used a countdown timer
to foster anxiety

prompting the others
to rush into the trap without thinking.

Implementing such a meticulous plan
in such a short amount of time

is worth complimenting.

Is that so?

What if Junhuang Sect
didn't use Six-Rod Light Prison?

Those are all excuses.

He could've tripped over his own feet
or been tossed to the ground.

He just had to make sure
he wasn't the first to walk in.

Du Songzi provoked Junhuang Sect

to set the stage for himself
and make everything seem normal.

I don't care about that.

I just want to know
where my disciples are.

That's right.
They're not in danger, are they?

It's just a dimension bag. They won't die.

But it's a shame

that all your disciples
have been eliminated

before they enter the gateway.

Vile and treacherous.

It's nothing but deception and trickery.

What is there to be smug about?

Lord Dilun, that's where you're wrong.

Competition first, friendship second.

Look at General Hai
who has already lost all his assets.

He still has such grace.

What a real man.

Fifth Elder, you certainly
are understanding.

Let's wait and see
who will have the last laugh.

I don't have a good eye.

You just talk too much.

I found you suspicious from the beginning
when you deliberately provoked Xu Zefang.

However, Xu Zefang attacked you first
and became the best cover-up for you.

It's a good thing I stayed alert
or you would've fooled me too.

Wang Lu,

how did you see through my illusion?

The next time you create an illusion,
please reproduce your shadow too.

Don't try to fool others
with this third-rate technique.

Also,

the next time you put on an act,
you should give your partners a heads up.

Otherwise, a deadweight like Hai Yunfan

will easily give you away.

We already succeeded.
What more do we need to say?

Shengjing Sect retains all its members

while the majority of Lingjian Sect
has been eliminated.

Wanfa Sect and Kunlun Sect
each has one member remaining.

Wang Lu, you're a smart man.

You should understand the probability.

Probability has nothing to do
with our numbers.

A single monkey born from Mount Huaguo

was still able to defeat
a drove of pigs from Heaven.

I'm afraid that monkey
will encounter Buddha's palm today.

We'll see.

Let's go.

Zhu Qin.

What?

Be more careful, will you?

How can your Spell-breaking Eyes
fail to see through the mirage?

What are you good for?

Who says I cannot see through it?

Will I be standing here otherwise?

Wen Bao and Liuli Xian, let's go.

I saw it!

Liuli Xian!

You know I could see it, right?

I really saw it.

That's why I didn't keep walking.

You know I saw it, right?

HALL OF VIRTUE

LOYALTY

INTEGRITY

"Filial piety, fraternity, loyalty,

trustworthiness, propriety,
righteousness, integrity, and humility."

FILIAL PIETY

FRATERNITY

FILIAL PIETY

HUMILITY

These are the Eight Holy Virtues
known all across the Nine Continents.

Could the master of this area

be the sage who brought forth
the Eight Virtues?

Perhaps this challenge he designed

can only be passed by someone
who possesses all eight virtues.

Does that mean Shengjing Sect
which doesn't possess any virtues

will be entirely wiped out?

Have some respect.

I'm just stating the truth.

If someone as treacherous
and shameless as you

could pass this level,

this would be the biggest joke
of the Nine Continents.

You will be put to the challenge
for each of the Eight Virtues.

Those most virtuous will win.

Fighting is prohibited.

Violators will be
immediately disqualified.

What? No fighting?

This isn't fun at all!

I don't want to play! I want to leave!

Xiaoliuli.

Behave. No fighting.

How can we win without fighting?

Don't worry. I know what to do.

Okay, I'll listen to you.

Wang Lu.

I'd like to ask for your help.

To join forces?

Yes.

Shengjing Sect
is overbearing and despotic.

I'm afraid our three sects
must join together to fight them.

Not a problem.

However, the two of you must be like them.

Set aside your intelligence
and don't ask questions.

Just follow my orders.

-All right, you're in charge.
-All right, you're in charge.

I suggest you give up now.

What is the use of teaming up
when you're not united?

FILIAL PIETY

Filial piety is the most important virtue.

I'll begin with the Door of Filial Piety.

Are there any filial children
who will enter the door with me?

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's enter.

DOOR OF FILIAL PIETY

Is this Dicey Business?

CHILD

"Child. Parent."

What does all this mean?

The rules of the Door of Filial Piety
are as follows.

First, a challengers is free
to select a Parent Token

and assign a Child Token
to another person.

Second, one who holds a Parent Token

must nurture the one
designated with a Child Token

and present a gift of spirit stones
of no limit to amount.

Third, holders of a Child Token
who have received a gift

must gift the ones with Parent Token
with double the amount of spirit stones.

This process is deemed
fulfilling one's filial duty.

Fourth, challengers may then
undergo a verification step.

Successful verification
results in points awarded.

Failed verification
results in zero points awarded.

We pass by receiving spirit stones.

It's a competition of wealth then.

Fool!

I haven't revealed the requirements yet.
Don't interrupt!

First, Parent and Child
must be paired one-to-one.

There must be no more than one
of each designation.

Second, once an identity token
has been selected, it is bound.

It is unexchangeable.

Third, one identity token to each person.

Fourth, nurturing and fulfilling
filial duty is limited to one time each.

A rejection of nurturing
or fulfillment of filial duty by any party

will be considered
a forfeit of this level.

Fifth, transactions are nonreversible.

Gifted spirit stones cannot be taken back.

Sixth, violators of the challenge rules

will be disqualified from this level.

Wang Lu, the voice said so many things.

What does it mean?

He wants to tell us that
this level is a terrible deal for parents.

At the end of this level,
half of us won't receive points.

Why?

It means that only those
who fulfill filial duty may pass

and only children
can fulfill the filial duty.

That means that those with Parent Tokens
will be out of the running.

That's not true.

At the very least,
those with Parent Tokens

will receive double the amount
of spirit stones gifted.

Either gain money or gain points.
There are two ways of looking at it.

I get it this time.

It still means that we pass
by getting money, right?

Yes, that's correct.

I am your father.

I give you 100 million spirit stones

and you have to give me
200 million in return.

I can get away from this
with an extra 100 million.

Losing would be worth it.

Yes.

Did you just take advantage of me?

No. Why would I do that?

It's all right
if you don't have 200 million.

Just do your filial duty and admit defeat.

You're the one who doesn't have the money.

Those from Wuxiang Peak
are known to be dirt poor.

Why don't you take a Parent Token
and just admit you lose?

At least, you'll earn some money
to fund your master's drinking habit.

Xiaohai, I really wonder whether you are
part of Shengjing Sect or a comedy sketch.

Why are you so good at talking?

Don't waste your breath on him.

Think of a solution.

This could be troublesome.

Are you afraid that
only half of us will pass the level?

With the eight of us,
we'll have to give up at least one person.

Yes.

I can give up on accumulating points.

You?

Even so, Wang Lu's group of six
won't give up without a fight.

It's hard to say how many Child Tokens
we'll be able to grab.

Violence is strictly prohibited.

However, there may be a solution.

Don't worry.

I will make them
choose Parent Tokens on their own.

Wang Lu, have you come up with a solution?

What is there to ponder?

Just try your best to get a Child Token.

You think? Isn't that obvious?

However, those who hold Parent Tokens
assign the Child Tokens.

How can we ensure that we're picked?

If we can't directly take
a Child Token for ourselves,

then we try to make the opponent
select a Parent Token.

It has to be one-to-one.
They'll have no choice.

In the end,
they'll have to assign you a Child Token.

Wen Bao, what are they saying?

Actually, I don't know either.

This was supposed to be
cultivation training.

How did it turn into a game of chance?

Exactly.

It is an exploitation of parents
in the name of filial duty.

We'll have to rely on
Zhu Qin for this level.

Why are you looking at me?

Is that the Yin Yang Treasure Chest?

What is the meaning of this?

Wang Lu, you're a smart man.

Why are you playing dumb?

This chest is directly linked
to Shengjing Sect's treasure vault.

It contains billions of spirit stones.

As you mentioned earlier,
if we choose Parent Tokens

and we each give you 100 million,

you would each
have to give us 200 million.

Would you be able to afford this game?

Why don't you just hand over
your Child Tokens?

Then you'll even be able to make a profit.

You're bullying others with your wealth!

It is a fair allocation of tokens
based on our strengths.

Zhan Ziye, why must you paint
such an ugly picture?

Very well. How about this?

Give me your Child Token
and I'll give you 100 million.

That's also a fair allocation.

I nearly forgot about you, Zhu Qin.

Without you,
we would've lost on bravado alone.

Give him another 100 million.

I don't have that much.

Wang Lu, do you mean

there is no negotiation?

There is.

You two won't be able
to settle this with money.

-Right.
-Why don't you two fight it out?

The winner calls the shots.

Do you think I'm an idiot?

The rules clearly state

that those who engage in a fight
will be immediately disqualified.

Do you think I'm stupid?

You remember that?

Since you're thinking clearly,
let's make things fairer.

It's simple.

Pick out seven each
of Parent and Child Tokens

for a total of 14 tokens.

That's the perfect number
for the 14 of us here.

We have six in a team
while you have eight in a team.

One party shuffles,
the other party selects tokens.

Seven tokens will be selected
and the rest goes to the other party.

How's that?

All right, we agree.

Who will shuffle
and who will pick the tokens?

Since you came up with the proposal,
you can decide.

However, I have one request.

Everyone must make an Inner Demon Oath

and accept the outcome.

Those with a Parent Token
must cooperate in finishing the mission.

No problem.

You can shuffle. We'll pick the tokens.

All right.

Here are 14 tokens. Please verify.

No issues here. Begin.

I have Spell-breaking Eyes

which allows me to see
the face of each token.

Du Songzi, you can't win against me.

FILIAL PIETY

"Child."

"Parent."

"Child."

"Parent."

"Parent."

"Child."

How is this possible?

"Child. Parent."

"Parent."

"Parent. Child."

"Father. Mother."

An impressive trick from that cheater!

I need to copy that.

All of you saw Hai Yunfan
destroy the spare tokens on the spot.

There is no possibility of cheating.

Besides, the disciples
took an Inner Demon Oath.

Since Du Songzi is still standing,
that shows that he has a clear conscience.

Fifth Elder, don't be a sore loser.

Right.

What kind of technique is this?

Normal tricks won't escape punishment
from an Inner Demon Oath.

Are those all real?

If my guess is correct, this is
the long-lost Xiyi Cloning Technique.

The cloned tokens
are as real as the original.

How long is he going to keep dealing?

There may be a lot of tokens,
but they were cloned from the original 14.

In theory, when the original Parent Token
is selected,

its clones will disappear.

That may be so,

but to select seven original tokens
from that mass

will require
an inconceivable amount of luck.

"Father. Mother."

"Mother"!

Zhu Qin!

-"Uncle"!
-Zhu Qin!

I thought Zhu Qin's Spell-breaking Eyes
would come in handy.

I can't believe Du Songzi
had this trick up his sleeve.

A terrible miscalculation.

I remember now!

These round tokens look just like
the pancakes my master brought me once!

Liuli Xian, why are you thinking
about pancakes at a time like this?

Xiaoliuli.

Were those pancakes
the Xiyi Holy Pancakes?

When Master brought them,

he said they were holy items
created by a Xiyi sage.

Five of these pancakes
could feed 5,000 people.

They're miraculous pancakes.
There's no end to them.

You still ate it all
in the end, didn't you?

Why?

I know what to do.

That's enough.

Choose your tokens.

Xiaoliuli?

Your Transparent Sword and Heart
can see what is real.

If you can pick out
seven original Child Tokens,

this will be yours.

Corn!

Choose.

I'll choose.

Child Token.

What's going on?

How can she find
the Child Token so easily?

I forgot her Transparent Sword and Heart
can distinguish what is real or fake.

You should have said it earlier.

CHILD

CHILD

CHILD

That's five.

PARENT

PARENT

Corn!

Here's your prize.

This is great.

The six of us have five Child Tokens.

They're losing for sure.

You...

How...

How is this possible?

You...

How...
