Original subtitles

These are the top finishers from the Grand Examination!

They're going to the Mausoleum of Books!

The future of the Capital lies in their hands.

Ranking is relative

So if you're unable to change yourself

The position or brightness of your life star

That must mean by changing the life stars of those around me

Will also produce the same result

That being said, if there is no way to change my own fate

The next best thing would be to change

The fates of those that are dearest to you

Ah

Nothing

By changing the fates of others,

Mll be able to change my fate as well

Is that even possible?

Who cares if everything turns into mold?

Who cares if the the blood of millions of people forms a flowing river?

There is no fate. Only choices.

All of my hard work

Was so I could have the opportunity to make this choice

This is what I need to go against fate!

Hey, I don't really know what's going on, but

I want to remind you

All your hard work and training was for today

And as a Daoist

How far we'll be able to walk

Is going to be dependent on what we can find in those books

I understand that, thank you

Cheer up then!

Right. At Ling Yan Palace yesterday night

Did you hear that we found Zhou garden?

I already heard about that a couple days ago

Huh?

Why didn't you tell me?!

Y-y-you!

What is there in Zhou garden, anyway?

Who would've thought that you even had things that you didn't know about?

All they're missing is you

Ha

Zhou garden is Zhou's little world

I'll appear once every ten years

The weapons of all his defeated challengers

Are said to be hidden there

The most important thing is that his own weapons

Might be there as well

That's why the beasts and demons are all fighting to own it

They're treating it as one of their most important objectives

That means

If you find those weapons, they're yours to keepAA

You don't have to give them to the officials

That's about the gist of it

And let me tell you, what's more important about Zhou garden is that

For people like us

It's the best place for us to train

Those treasures act as a great motivation tool

But for some reason, only those who know how to tong you

Are able to live in Zhou garden

Therefore

Our trip to the Mausoleum of Books is that much more important

Deciding that after one month,

Just how many people will be able to break the barrier and enter

Woah!

We're at the Mausoleum of Books

Should we be able to see the sign?

It's probably being blocked by the trees

This person over here, is the guardian of the Mausoleum of Books

Guardian?

They've spent their whole lives here trying to decode the mysteries of the books

They've also swore to never set foot outside the Mausoleum of Books

Ah

Being able to see all of this is great and all

But isn't happiness in life up to the individual?

Why did they all choose to be here?

Tch, they don't need your sympathy

A lot of people don't even take the time to admire them

This is so slow! Too bad we can't just fly up there

Please stop complaining and listen to us

We will be headed to the top of the mountain. Please be careful

Hurry up! Look at the time! Go go go!

Why is everyone so rushed?

You're the weird one here. How come you're not worried?

I've already tong you'd

Don't you seem happy! -

No, not really

I've already said, for Daoists like us

The most important thing

If we're late by even one step, it could set us back by ten years!

Only those who constantly push forward

Will allow tong you to act as the driving force to break the barrier

How many times do I have to repeat this?

Aren't you still standing here yourself?

That's because I think you're having some difficulties today

Apparently, there's only one way up

You have to finish observing one floor before moving onto the next one

What are you going to say now?

How many floors are there?

I dunno. To be fair,

No one really knows how many floors there are

Why?

First of all, I'm not one of the guardians

Second, I'm not a tour guide

All you have to know is that

You have to view them one by one!

At the end of the day, how many floors you'll be able to reach is up to yourself

One last question

Shoot

I've heard that during a sacrifice, the Empress and Priest

They would use some special pathway to get to the top

Where might that be?

It's at Nan Lu

If we take that path, we should be able to reach the top

And not require us to go floor by floor, right?

You want to take that path instead?

Is it not possible?

Of course you can. It's just a matter of if you have the skill

Who's guarding it?

Han Qing

The most fearsome general of the land?

Han Qing has been guarding it for hundreds of years now

No one has been able to get past him

Don't get mad, I'm done with my questionsstions com

You're still not going to come? Are you crazy?

I just want to take a stroll. You don't have to keep following me

Hmph! Don't think I won't leave you!

Y- aren't you.

Ah!!!!

How come I can't go to the Mausoleum of Books?AA

I want to go find Master

Your highness, if you want to enter the Mausoleum of Books,

You can go anytime, but right now is not the best time to do so

You still haven't received a grade for the Grand Examination. These are the rules that we must abide by

Then how come Zhe Xiu can go?

Zhe Xiu used his fighting prowess

He's also instrumental to them breaking the barrier to Zhou garden

Hopefully Master can help out a poor kid like me

Anyway, enough about Zhe Xiu

Your problem is that you're too impatient

Now it's all up to Chen Chang Sheng to create another miracle

This is Nan Lu!

Black stone?

So this is the hidden pathway?

That person is..

Ah!

The most powerful generalco

Zhe Xiu!

No wonder why no one, after all these years

Could get past him alive

I was waiting for you at Orthodox Academy. How come you didn't show up?

I said that I would come find you, just not when

You

Oh!

Something bad is about to happen

What's going on?

Han Qing almost found them

Shouldn't Chen Chang Sheng be with the others?

Why did they go to the secret pathway?!

After entering the Mausoleum of Books, he just kept wandering around

Making it look like he was enjoying the scenery

Enjoying the scenery?

Yes. Ever since dawn, he's already

Walked around the Mausoleum of Books once already

Enjoying the view instead of reading the books

What is he planning on doing?

Hahaha! Interesting, very interesting. Keep observing

Of course

It's almost been a day

I've just remembered that I haven't ate yet

I don't know where we're going to sleep either

I'd imagine that you wouldn't agree on

Living with the others right?

The friends that I have are all so strange. One of them can't stop talking

And the other doesn't even talk

I'm not your friend

There's actually someone living here?

It must be some Daoist!

Mister,

Are you the owner of this house?

The two of us are here to read the heavenly books

Would you be willing to let us stay here for a night?

You're cook then

I'm full.

You're acting very strange today.

I thought you and Tang Thirty-Six were inseparable

That means you also

Didn't do anything today

I just feel that it's really stupid to waste time like this

You're not that kind of person either

There are a few things that I also don't understand, but I'm not going to ponder about them for now

Well, at least not for today

Being able to live is the most important thing

No!

What do you think is the most important matter then?

Living wide awake or clearly dead

How about returning the things that you owe me?

What do you even want?

My meridians are experiencing some problems

I know. Those from the beast clans all experience this problem

But mine is ten times worse!

Are you sure that I can help you?

If you were able to help Luo Luo, then you definitely should be able to

When you're sick, it's very painful

In the most serious cases, it'll cause me to lose all reason and logic

I don't know what will happen if I become crazy

So for you, the most important thing is to stay clear minded and live!

I don't want to be like a dog

Not knowing the purpose of my life

Very well, but I can't promise you anything

Let me feel your pulse

You...endured this kind of pain all these years?

There's definitely something wrong with you. I'm surprised that you were able to survive up to now

I'm not going to die

Where are you Chen Chang Sheng? Chen Chang Sheng!

Tang Thirty-Six? I'm over here!

24I was really worried that your mind went crazy again

Possibly leaving the Mausoleum of Books

This is a holy land and is also someone else's house. Could you

Be a bit more civil?

Huh? Oh, it's you!

Chasing him all the way here so he could repay his debt

If you could resolve this quickly, I'd appreciate it

T'll try my best!

And this is...

This is bad! He noticed!

Who else has this kind of ability besides Han Qing?!

Might it be that person...?

How did Chen Chang Sheng find him?

Return

You got some nerve, trying to spy

This person really is powerful

Y-Y-You are...Xun Mei?

That's correct. I'm Xun Mei. I'm surprised there are people who still remember my name

Snow-Treading Xun Mei? How could anyone not know you?

Thirty seven years ago, you were that

Participant who placed first in the Grand Examination!

Thirty seven years ago? That means

This is my friend Chen Chang Sheng. He's also like you

He placed first in the most recent Grand Examination

Ah, so this year's Grand Examination has already finished

No wonder there's so much more people here

Your zhen yuan is very weak, but somehow you managed to place first

Each generation really is better than the last

Sir, there's no need to say that

According to the officials,

The participants in this year's Grand Examination were actually stronger than the Grand Examination that you participated in

Well that's because, that year, there were two people who didn't participate

Right! How could I forget about them?

If those two, Wang Po and Xiao Zhang also participated...

Sir!

A lot of people thought that he died already

After being stuck in here for thirty seven years

This is truly unbelievable

Is he afraid of leaving this place?

Crap. I shouldn't have said those names in front of him

Aren't you going to explain?

You're real troublesome, aren't you?

Xun Mei, back in the day, was Mao Qiu Yu's

Most favourite apprentice

He was once Heavenly Academy's pride, and his ability shocked the world

Sadly, one of his peers, who was also the same age as him

Was better than him in everything

Xun Mei battled this person hundreds of times

But lost all every single time

Twenty years ago, I asked you to come to the Captial to convince him to come out

But you never came

He was the one who didn't budge

If he himself didn't want to come out, no one else can convince him

How come you came today?

For some reason, I believe he will come out tonight

That's why I'm going to wait here for him

So the person who's haunted Xun Mei all this time

Who's forced him to be trapped inside the Mausoleum of Books

Was the genius himself...

Wang Po of Tian Liang!
