(Immortal Samsara)

(Episode 4)

Ying Deng.

You got promoted

and everything goes well for you.

You even look better than you do in the past.

Both of us are students of His Majesty.

There's no need to be polite.

Bi Yi.

Since you left the palace,

you've achieved a celestial rank and become a celestial official.

Now, you are already the head of a pavilion.

Among the celestial attendants of Yan Xu Heavenly Palace,

it's obvious that His Majesty

is treating you differently.

Is His Majesty in the palace?

This fabric is made from cloud threads and soft gold.

It's resistant to slashes.

There's Ren Dong interlocking branch pattern at the bottom.

It is decorated with Zi Wei Crystal and Chi Lin Gemstone.

It helps with calming one's spirits.

From decorating to attaching the gemstones,

it is all handmade by Curator Ying Deng.

Although the Hunyuan Jade Belt was broken

by the clueless celestial attendant, Yan Dan,

Pavilion of Magic is still responsible.

Ren Dong pattern

was Your Majesty's old favorite.

With Your Majesty having meetings until the morning

and I can no longer serve Your Majesty,

I hope this item

will help Your Majesty sleep better.

There's no need.

Although the celestial attendant was reckless,

she already repaired the jade belt.

This fabric was too pretty

and extravagant.

I can't use it.

The lotus embroidery is frivolous

and the workmanship is rough.

How can Your Majesty use it?

If Your Majesty is reluctant to throw the old belt,

I've brought gold and silver threads

to repair it myself.

I'm sure Your Majesty will be satisfied.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Yan Dan already finished copying the celestial arts classics you gave her.

Are you going to check it now?

She is just a low-class celestial attendant

who was punished to work in the palace.

How could she

get her hands on Yan Xu Heavenly Palace's celestial arts collection?

Don't move.

Controlling Spell?

Flipping tortoises?

Break my chess formation?

Force me to sew clothes?

Shoot me with an arrow?

See how I take revenge on you.

(I've won)

God is fair.

Yan Dan is so evil.

She doesn't obey the rules at all.

What kind of place does she think Yan Xu Heavenly Palace is?

- I'll punish her at the Heavenly Gallows immediately. - No need.

I was the one who wanted to compete with her.

She won.

Your Majesty.

- This is against the heavenly laws. - Ying Deng.

You are no longer a celestial from Yan Xu Heavenly Palace.

You are not the leader of the palace

yet you are butting in.

You are overstepping your authority.

I'm too busy to punish you at the Heavenly Gallows.

Leave.

Celestial beings nowadays

have a really unpredictable temper.

I need to teach Zhi Xi the Controlling Spell

so she can defend herself in the future.

Lu Jing will send the "Pure Heart Mantra" to your house later.

Make ten copies.

Oh. There are 16 volumes of "Pure Heart Mantra".

You're so despicable!

Come and fight me alone!

How can you call yourself a hero by hiding inside?

(Pi Xiang Hall)

Move everything out.

Hurry up.

That's...

Stop!

Who are you?

Why did you move all our things?

I am the steward of Pi Xiang Hall.

Steward of Pi Xiang Hall?

It's just a misunderstanding.

It's me. Yan Dan.

Don't you remember? I even asked Lu Ming to send you many magical items.

What magical items?

Don't say nonsense.

Anyway, rehearsals are not allowed here from now on.

- Move everything away. - That's...

Otherwise, I'll throw everything away.

Why didn't you say that when you accepted the magical items?

Besides,

Pi Xiang Hall has been empty for many years.

Why can't we rehearse here?

Even if it's empty, you won't be the one to use it.

The heavenly laws state

that only those who have achieved a celestial rank

of vice curator and above

can use a hall.

What's wrong?

You don't have a celestial rank and don't even know how to bow?

You should ask your sister, Zhi Xi, to teach you.

Her bows have the appearance of a servant.

Greetings, Curator Ying Deng.

But you were wrong about something.

My sister is not a servant.

My sister is the vice curator of the Pavilion of Magic.

Although I don't have a celestial rank,

I've studied the heavenly laws.

According to the heavenly laws,

celestial beings have different ranks

but they should all be treated the same.

Did the heavenly laws tell you

that the power of celestial arts differs?

Think of something.

- What should we do? - This is...

The heart formula says

to reverse my vessels and force my wisdom.

Why do I lack strength in my vessels?

Focus your aura on your head

before reversing it.

Next, gather it in your chest.

Gather it in the chest

and cast it externally!

Curator.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Yan Dan is a celestial attendant from my palace.

I will educate her if she makes a mistake.

Why is Pavilion of Magic punishing her instead?

Does it hurt?

I dare not say that it hurts.

It should hurt.

Bullying a celestial attendant and being mean.

That should not be the behavior of the head of a pavilion.

You reported Si Xuan for falling in love.

She was wrong indeed.

I have no choice but to feel sad.

But you shouldn't touch

the celestial beings serving me.

- Send the curator back to the Pavilion of Magic. - Yes.

This is the "Cold of Dawn Sutra".

Ying Deng has been practicing "Cold of Dawn Sutra" for years.

I only learned a little from her.

You, on the other hand,

have grown a lot

after coming to Yan Xu Heavenly Palace.

Don't mention it.

That despicable Ying Yuan always punishes me to make copies.

It's hard for me to learn nothing.

"Cold of Dawn Sutra" is a ten-thousand-year-old book.

The cultivation method back then

must be totally different from now.

If you want to learn it,

you need to change the formula.

It is very troublesome.

You do learn a lot from copying books.

Tell me about it.

The sutra said

to learn heaven's secret before reaching the sky.

But in my opinion,

With the current celestial beings' cultivation habit,

they should reach the sky before learning heaven's secret.

Otherwise, the aura will be stagnant

and the power will be reduced.

Did His Majesty tell you about this?

Of course, not.

He won't be so kindhearted.

I studied it myself.

You have not excelled in your cultivation yet

and you're already studying high-level celestial arts.

It's easy to get confused.

You must not act smart and try to comprehend it forcefully.

If other celestial officials

heard what you said just now,

what will you do if they punish you for being disrespectful

to the ancient book and immortals?

I'll have to beg fairy Zhi Xi

to spare me

and feed me then.

I have to leave.

Where are you going? What's more important than your sister?

The magic items of every palace have to be changed every 200 years.

During the last routine inspection,

a few magic items in the Pavilion of Magic are damaged over time

and have been added to the list of the damaged items.

Qian Yun Palace in charge of the incinerator

suggested Pavilion of Magic transfer the items in advance

due to a large number of damaged magical items.

I'll be the one escorting them tonight.

Is Ziwei Bottle one of the items?

How do you know?

How could they ask you to escort them?

I'm the vice curator.

I'm responsible for that.

- What's wrong? - No. I just think

it's dangerous at night.

Every palace is not safe.

Sister. Don't go

and find someone else.

Why are you worried about me?

You should talk more

and think less.

I really have to go.

- No. - Your Majesty.

I'm willing to copy all chess manuals from the Six Realms

100 times.

You may copy the chess manuals but I won't permit the change.

This is an important matter.

It'll affect the Six Realms if something goes wrong.

The trap has been set for many days and we're nearing the end.

A switch in personnel for the burning of magical items now

might alert them.

I will lead the soldiers in this arrest.

Your sister will be fine.

But I...

But I almost died in the hands of the Demon Clan last time.

Besides the Celestial Realm's spy,

there are also Demon Realm's spy

and a bunch of celestial troops.

Once a fight broke out,

you'll only care about the Six Realms

instead of my sister's life.

Are you doubting me?

Yes.

I am doubting you.

The safety of Six Realms is important

but my sister's life is just as important.

You used her as bait

but didn't tell her the reason

and asked her if she was willing to do it or not.

Don't you think it was unfair?

- Yan Dan. - Don't come here.

But you have a ready-made sacrifice now.

I'm willing to replace Zhi Xi.

We were born from the same roots.

I can use the Face-changing Formula

to change my face temporarily.

As long as the people who see me don't use magic,

they won't find out.

Doing that won't disturb Your Majesty's plan.

Even if an accident happens,

no one would say anything about it.

Say something about it?

You are the one who speaks most in the Six Realms.

I should seal your mouth one day.

Your Majesty.

Zhi Xi is the hope of the Four-Leaf Lotus Clan.

The heavens care for every soul.

Please agree to it, Your Majesty.

You're so noisy.

I'll approve it.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I am willing to put my life on the line to repay your kindness.

Reaching the sky

before learning heaven's secret.

That's impossible.

What are you doing, Zhi Xi?

Curator Ying Deng.

The executive curator has something to discuss with you.

I couldn't find you everywhere in the pavilion.

You're hiding here and damaging the magical items?

How angry are you from having to do the chores for the Pavilion of Magic?

Curator Ying Deng.

I was practicing my celestial arts.

I didn't break the magical items on purpose.

You went to Yan Xu Heavenly Palace

to find your sister in the morning, right?

Don't look at me with this pitiful face of yours every day.

Have you packed all the things you are taking to Qian Yun Palace tonight?

They are ready.

Bring them here immediately.

Yes.

All seven items are here.

Send them to Yan Xu Heavenly Palace.

Yes.

Why? Wasn't I the one responsible for the escort?

His Majesty sent a secret edict just now.

These magical items will be escorted by Yan Xu Heavenly Palace's Yan Dan.

It is unprecedented

to have someone external doing the Pavilion of Magic's task.

What have you both planned?

You made His Majesty think

the Pavilion of Magic can't even handle such a minor task.

I didn't.

You didn't?

You better ask your sister then.

Not only

has she stolen Pavilion of Magic's task,

she even stole your task.

I wasn't the one

who slapped you.

It was granted to you by your sister.

There will always be a weaker one among twins.

I know you are useless.

But I always thought

you were slightly stronger than Yan Dan.

If I did make a mistake,

I'll tell you now

that the Pavilion of Magic will not accept useless celestial beings.

Yan Dan.

Why did you steal the task?

What are you trying to do?

You are familiar with the Palace's secret celestial arts.

A normal being of the Demon Realm is not your opponent.

The patrolling celestial troops outside the palace have my approval

to break in and help you at any time.

The pearl hairpin on your hair stick will transmit what you see to me.

Once the thief acts, I'll arrive immediately.

To be able to add Ziwei Bottle to the damaged item list

means there is a spy among the celestial officials.

It's best to find out who that person is.

The seven old magical items in the Pavilion of Magic

that needs to be destroyed are all here.

Celestial Official Yan Chi, please have a look.

Fairy Zhi Xi is always cautious in doing your task.

I have nothing to worry about.

It's tough working at night.

I got the celestial attendants to prepare drinks for you.

Why don't you take a seat inside?

This is a part of my duty.

It's not tough at all.

According to the laws,

I need to see the incineration process myself.

It's easier for me to explain to the curator as well.

You are right.

Open the incinerator.

- Let me go! - Go in!

We caught her at the back door.

Are you all right?

What's going on?

How dare you show your lowly tricks in front of me.

You are Zhi Xi's sister,

Yan Xu Heavenly Palace's Yan Dan.

You are not from Qian Yun Palace.

Who are you?

Sister!

Careful!

Yan Dan, run away! You can't defeat him.

Sister, run!

I am too powerful.

Yan Dan!

Lord Ying Yuan!

Help! Hit them!

- Your hands. - No!

- Let go. - No!

All of them have been defeated. When are you going to stop hugging me?

What did you eat to get so strong?

Why do you care?

Why do I care?

Aren't you putting your life on the line?

- Can't you be a bit more promising? - No.

Didn't you see what happened just now?

If you had come later, I would be burnt to ashes.

That would be nice. I can finally enjoy my peace then.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Sister, are you all right? Let me see.

I'm fine.

Do you know?

Burning the old magical items was the spy of the demon clan's plan.

They wanted to use Ziwei Bottle

to make poison with the Sacred Tree Sap.

I replaced you because I'm afraid you might be in danger.

Why did you still come here?

Lord Ying Yuan, thank you for educating Yan Dan

and improving her celestial arts.

I am grateful.

Educating her?

She is gifted.

I can't take credit for it.

Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I will definitely do my best.

Oh. Celestial Official Yan Chi used a trick

to hide the real Ziwei Bottle in his sleeve.

Remember to check it.

All right.

We won't be involving ourselves with the investigation of the spy.

I'm sending my sister back.

Farewell, Your Majesty.

Let's go, Sister.

Let's go.

We grew up together.

Zhi Xi is good at academics

and has the strongest cultivation.

Now, Yan Dan's celestial arts improved a lot

thanks to Lord Ying Yuan's education.

I'm afraid she has already surpassed Zhi Xi.

There will always be a weaker one among twins.

I'm afraid

we had mistaken a rooster for a phoenix.

Who are you talking about?

Who has a normal talent?

If you're so talented, why are you not a celestial official?

Why aren't you a vice curator?

If her talent is normal,

you must have no talent at all.

Besides having no talent, you are also evil.

Why are you so evil?

You're running? I'll help you teach them a lesson.

There's no need to get angry at them.

Besides,

they are right.

Didn't His Majesty say it?

I am the weaker one indeed.

How can you believe what the despicable lord says?

You are the most excellent one among the celestial beings.

You also have a celestial rank and are a celestial official.

Who is better than you?

But today,

I couldn't defeat Celestial Official Yan Chi

yet you took him down in a few moves.

I was only lucky.

I just studied a few books coincidentally.

If you were taught in Yan Xu Heavenly Palace,

I'm sure you will be better than me

and take him down with one move. It's true.

I don't have that luck.

You should leave. Just leave me here.

If Ying Deng sees you, she might trouble you again.

But...

All right.

Zhi Xi, remember.

No matter what other people say,

you are the greatest to me.

You are my sister who will always protect me.

Don't overthink.

I'm leaving then.

Ignore them. Let me know if they bully you.

Are you all right?

It's my fault for teaching too fast.

Take it slow. There's no rush.

Master.

Don't you know who she is?

She is very famous.

The Lotus Celestial solving the Jade Pool crisis.

It was a famous story.

The whole Celestial Realm knows

that there will always be a weaker one among twins.

She must be the weak one.

Others would learn it after being taught three times

but she still couldn't learn it after three days.

You don't teach fast.

She's just stupid.

Exactly.

That's enough. Don't talk about others.

It's fine if you are not as talented.

You can just listen for now. There's no need to force yourself to learn.

If you don't learn it correctly, you might hurt yourself.

What will you do then?

I'm not the weak one.

I can learn it!

Zhi Xi, I found many exorcism scripts

at the Pavilion of Books yesterday.

They were so much fun.

Do you want to go together?

Yan Dan, you shouldn't skip classes every day.

If you do that, no master would teach you

celestial arts anymore.

That master was too boring.

It's not as fun as reading scripts.

I will go alone if you won't join me.

Go on.

I've kept everything for you. You're welcome.

(Pavilion of Magic)

For so many years,

I worked hard in my cultivation

and endured the humiliations.

I gritted my teeth and climb

to join the Pavilion of Magic

and achieve the position of vice curator.

Soon, I'll even be promoted.

I thought

hard work will change all of these.

Turns out I still can't escape

the fate that I was born with.

Yan Dan.

You are talented

and can do everything easily.

You will never understand.

Who is it?

Why are you sitting so high?

Your celestial arts is strong.

You won't die even if you jump down from there.

Not only will you not die,

but you will also trouble me, a cute and innocent celestial attendant.

Don't be so desperate.

One step.

What are you doing?

What are you doing to me?

What else can I do for you?

Do you know how to play tile flipping?

How's that?

I win. Drink.

Drink more. Come. Drink.

Drink.

Fill the cup.

Are all high-level celestial beings weird?

Or are you the only one who's weird?

Tortoise flipping and tile flipping.

Do all celestial beings do that?

Don't you have any normal hobbies?

I remember. You do.

Punishing me to make copies,

let me repair your belt

and force me to play chess.

You asked me to do all that.

That's right.

It's fine to be weird

as long as you are happy.

Do I look unhappy normally?

No happy celestial beings

would flip tortoises for no reason.

I don't get it.

You are already a lord.

Why are you still unhappy?

Now that the spy has been found and the issue has been dealt with,

you should feel happy.

I'm afraid

issues will arise again

before they are dealt with.

When you are small,

there are many things

that you can change.

Just like you.

Rehearsing, causing trouble, and making friends.

Once you hold a high position,

there are many things

that you can't change.

That is why you planned to commit suicide?

Look at the shooting stars.

Looking at shooting stars?

Isn't that something that mortals do?

They like to make a wish upon the shooting star

but they don't know

that it is caused by celestial beings waving their sleeves

when they are spreading stars.

But all of them believe

the wishes they make will come true.

What about you? What wish did you make?

Peace of Six Realms.

That was such a fake answer.

No one would make a wish for others.

Tell me then.

What is your wish?

Is it for yourself?

Of course.

I will also make a wish

for my sister and my friends.

As a lord,

you only care about the Six Realms.

Don't you have anything that you can't achieve

or people you care about?

To me,

securing the peace of the Six Realms

is the most important thing.

Apart from that,

there's nothing else in my heart.

The peace of the Six Realms

has continued for more than 10,000 years.

The rise of the Demon Clan

is beginning now.

Once the war begins,

the hard work and peace for more than 10,000 years

will vanish.

What if other people don't realize your sacrifice?

Or you are forgotten like the Nine Fins Clan?

Or being cast aside?

Are you still willing to do it?

I don't fight for fame

so people can remember me.

I do it to stop wars.

When you've seen the suffering of the people,

you won't want to see

the thing of the past happening again.

Thankfully, I was born in a time of peace.

I have nothing to worry about.

There are things

that you will only understand when you experience them.

But it's also good to be like you.

A carefree low-level celestial

who has never experienced anything and has no worries.

I hope

my wish doesn't go to waste then.

All right. Enough talk about that.

You rehearsed a lot

because you want

to gain an advantage during the Jade Pool Banquet performance

so.

His Supreme Majesty will grant you a favor, right?

Tell me.

- What is your true wish? - Finding someone to rely on.

Am I not good enough?

Your Majesty. You are untainted. I'm unworthy of your support.

I want someone like Zhi Xi, my sister.

If she gets promoted in the future,

she needs to go through trials in the mortal realm.

But my sister doesn't like the mortal realm.

So, I want His Supreme Majesty to allow me

to go to the mortal realm in my sister's place.

When she becomes a more powerful celestial,

I can go to her palace

to do nothing

and leech off her.

You can also leech off.

Yan Xu Heavenly Palace.

Why won't you stay?

Actually, I'm used to

being free.

- I... - Urgent edict from His Supreme Majesty.

He summoned Lord Ying Yuan to have a discussion at Yu Qing Palace.

Please respond immediately.

Your Majesty.

Why did you appear from here?

You reek of alcohol.

It seems like you've drunk a lot.

I'm afraid it goes against His Supreme Majesty's wish for you

to give in to your desires.

I arrested a spy today and didn't achieve anything after the interrogation.

I couldn't sleep

and had a few drinks.

I've readjusted the defense at the Heavenly Court

and still think something's wrong.

I wanted to inform His Supreme Majesty tomorrow morning.

Your Majesty is thoughtful.

Celestial Messenger Tao Zi Qi just sent another message.

His Supreme Majesty found out about the act of treason

of Qian Yun Palace's curator.

He summoned you because he is worried and couldn't sleep.

Recently, a few spirit birds came to the palace.

They are building nests in the house.

Looks like there's nothing fun about becoming a lord.

It's happier to be a low-level celestial.

Be careful during your journey.

The Demon Realm is chaotic.

Readjusting the Heavenly Court's defense

is a precaution.

We still don't know what will happen in the future.

We are brothers who have experienced the War of Genesis.

What is there for you to worry about?

In my opinion,

The conspiring celestial officials in the Heavenly Prison

are all stubborn.

If they won't confess, just kill them.

If I take their heads to the Demon Realm,

we can only investigate the truth.

If something bad happens,

we can attack with an appropriate reason.

Do you think it's funny?

Huan Qin.

You were reckless during the War of Genesis.

You always fought with His Supreme Majesty.

I thought you've changed after all these years.

I didn't expect you

to still be so stubborn.

If you are so reckless,

how can I let you go to the Demon Realm?

Lord Ying Yuan worries so much about me.

If the celestial beings of the Heavenly Court heard it,

they will gossip about me again.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Star Deity Ji Du.

It's you?

Your Majesty prepared for the worst

and adjusted the Heavenly Court's defenses.

Even an unimportant palace like Pi Xiang Hall

is blessed

with increased defense.

It's all thanks to Your Majesty's care.

Pi Xiang Hall?

When did you start having an interest in theater?

The celestial attendants said I am depressed and boring.

It's just the right time

for me to look for some normal hobbies.

That's good.

When you are relaxed,

the celestial beings under you will be happier.

I need to return to the palace to pack my luggage.

I'll be leaving.

Huan Qin.

Strategize before you take action.

If you find something unusual,

send a message back

and come up with a plan.

Got it.

You're so annoying. I'm leaving.
