[Immortal Samsara]

[Episode 19]

They are just under the influence of Qiuxi.

Don't kill them.

Careful!

Your Majesty.

I shall get going.

Your Supreme Majesty.

You have served the punishment

to make up for your own wrongdoings.

You could have just returned to your palace,

so why are you here?

Your Supreme Majesty,

I have a favor to ask.

Why is your immortal spirit damaged?

It's nothing major.

For a fairy,

you would go against the Heavenly Rules

and get yourself this badly injured.

Is she worth it?

Your Supreme Majesty,

I am wounded

because I was ambushed

in the Night Forgetting River.

Knowing your power,

you will not be this badly wounded.

Who was the assailant?

I got some clues

about the Divine-Demon War from Hades.

It differs from the version written in the Heavenly Annals.

As I investigated further,

a mysterious figure ambushed me.

Hades was then killed.

I wish to enter the Mortal Realm to get to the bottom of this.

I seek your approval.

The Divine-Demon War

is a serious subject in the Three Realms.

Many died or were badly injured.

If there is something more to it, then it should be investigated thoroughly.

What is your plan?

After the war,

some Demons snuck into the Mortal Realm.

I wish to descend to the Mortal Realm to conduct investigations.

However,

the war is history now.

If you conduct an investigation now, you'll attract rumors.

The harmony of the Three Realms will be in peril.

Have you

thought about this?

Fret not, Your Supreme Majesty.

Going through the hardships of the Mortal Realm

will be my excuse to conduct the investigation.

All right.

I shall make an announcement

that Sovereign Lord Qingli of East Land, Yingyuan, violated the Heavenly Rules,

and thus, will be subject to the hardships of the Mortal Realm post-ascension ceremony.

I will preserve your memory and your immortal power

so that you can carry out your task with ease.

Thank you, Your Supreme Majesty.

But remember,

even though you'll be in the Mortal Realm,

you are to abide by the Heavenly Rules.

You will be assigned a fate of love aversion

for the sake of your training.

That shall prevent you from being distracted

and will expedite your progress.

Noted.

What is that?

How can it bring life to what is dead?

It's called the Other Eye.

The Other Eye?

Either way,

you saved me again.

I know not how to repay both instances of your kindness.

Since it is by fate

that we chance upon each other,

if you don't mind,

let's form a brotherhood here.

What do you think?

You saved me just now too.

It is only right if I did that.

However, I have another matter to attend to now.

I shall get going.

Greetings, Mountain Chief.

On behalf of all avian spirits, I extend my sincerest greetings to you, Mountain Chief.

Greetings, Mountain Chief,

from the flower spirits.

-Greetings, Mountain Chief. -Salutations, from the wolf tribe.

Greetings, Mountain Chief.

What are you doing?

In Yelan Mountain,

the strongest individual will become the mountain chief.

Thanks to this cure-all and power-boosting spring,

Qiuxi reigned

the mountain

and fancied itself the king.

But it's different now.

You have killed it.

That means you are stronger than it.

Naturally, you are our mountain chief.

I was not born on this mountain,

so I have no right to be its ruler.

It doesn't matter.

After Qiuxi became the Mountain Chief,

many spirits

were displaced

and lost their home.

Your origin does not alter the fact that you're our hero.

It was you

who eliminated the tyrant of this mountain.

We

are willing to follow your lead.

Please do not decline.

I saw you were hounded by your enemies.

Yelan Mountain makes a great hiding spot.

Many spirits gather here.

If you hide here,

your enemies dare not to pursue further.

Isn't this a win-win solution?

I came to the Mortal Realm

in search of a person.

It is an urgent matter

and it shall not be delayed.

All the more reason to stay here.

The vast network here knows no bound.

Once you become the mountain chief,

all spirits will work for you.

They can locate

grass or even sand for you,

let alone a person.

I can stay,

but on one condition.

Do tell.

I will do anything that's within my capability.

What is your name?

Zilin.

Everyone.

I can stand here

because Zilin risked his life to save me.

All of you can stand here

because Zilin defended the collective's rights

fearlessly.

Therefore,

while everyone says

whoever kills Qiuxi

can become the new mountain chief,

I believe this position

should be shared between us.

I...

From now on,

you'll be in charge

of the external affairs.

What do you think?

You mean

I'll deal with external affairs while you deal with internal affairs?

Brilliant idea.

May I know your name?

My name?

Yumo.

You have heard it now.

Kneel before Mountain Chief Yumo now!

Greetings, Mountain Chiefs.

Greetings, Mountain Chiefs.

Stand up now, please.

From now on,

we are a family.

No need to perform such formality here.

Bailing,

from now on,

you'll be the head of Internal Affairs.

Wounded patients are allowed to heal themselves in this spring.

You'll flesh out the details.

I thank you for your faith in me, Mountain Chief.

I will do my best.

Now that the peace has been restored,

please dispatch messengers

to recall the displaced spirits.

If you run into mortals on your way down the mountain,

do not hurt them.

I am the Mountain Chief.

Do good

and I'll make sure you live well.

Do harm

and I'll make sure you pay the price.

Duly noted!

Your Majesty.

When Yandan was still here,

what she wanted the most

was to see you rise in ranks.

I'm here

to make her wish come true.

I heard you are going to the Mortal Realm

as another act of self-punishment.

Has Yandan traversed the Forgetting River?

Is she well?

Back then, she gave her all to you,

but you failed her.

And then, she suffered more torture

due to the fake roll.

Your concern

is meaningless at the moment.

(Judging from his look,)

(was he too late?)

(Yandan has faded into nothingness?)

Everyone now believes that it was

Fairy Zhixi

who gouged her heart out to save the Sovereign Lord.

She was then promoted.

As to her biological sister,

Yandan was evil

and tried to poison another fairy.

She was then undone by her wrongdoing.

Your wish has come true now.

From now on,

you'll lead a comfortable life.

Fairy Zhixi.

I wish you

a prosperous

and successful future.

Thank you,

Your Majesty.

I suppose I can share this starry view

with no one anymore.

Why am I flying?

Help!

Darling.

From now on,

no one can separate us.

Yes.

Help!

Monster!

Monster?

Me?

What is going on?

(Who am I?)

(Why am I here?)

(Why can't I recall anything?)

She's inside.

Get her!

♪The chirping ospreys♪

♪Above the river♪

I wasn't expecting you, Prince Pei. Sorry for the ill-prepared reception.

You usually turn down invitations

and I am very honored

to have you attend my son's wedding feast.

I see.

You're here to support Miss Jiangchen.

Fine taste.

Her performance is the best in the southern capital.

♪A fine damsel♪

♪I play zither to attract her attention♪

Where is she?

Where did she go?

♪When will you return, my beau?♪

Dear! I have returned!

After our prompt departure,

you become the subject of my yearning.

I need help.

Just play along.

Away from home for a decade,

when I dreamed,

it was all old memories.

I remember the misty weather

and blue, shimmering waves.

When we met,

we were young.

Leaves were falling.

The light liquor was cold.

Oh, the woes

of being sentimental.

But who knows my feelings

as I ascend to this hall tonight?

-It's her. -Go.

And so I came to the realization tonight.

Round and round, I have returned

to reunite with you.

I will forgo the material gains.

We will

spend an eternity together.

Though people will try to separate us,

I will not leave you.

If I can be with you, I fear no death.

Let's be lovebirds and cast away the wish to become deities.

Prince of Andu is watching a spectacle here.

Who dares to disrupt his enjoyment?

Move aside!

Marvelous.

The prose you sang just now

was elegant and touching.

Where did you get the story from?

I composed it myself.

You're quite talented as a composer.

Would you like to stay in Liyuan (*royal performing arts and musical academy in China)

with me to work on the scripts

and perform soul-moving plays?

Can do.

Let's stay here

and look after each other.

What is your name?

I'm...

Bai Piaoliang.

Yes, Bai Piaoliang.

Hurry up.

You were on shift last night.

Something went missing in the pavilion yesterday.

The tributary artifact from Hades,

Sonic Bat, went missing.

Where did it go?

Speak!

I do not know.

You were on duty here the whole night yesterday.

How can you pledge ignorance?

Unless

you're the thief?

You received a promotion

and you became very bold.

You would even ignore me when I ask you questions.

As the Vice Curator of Magical Pavilion,

you failed to safeguard the artifacts.

Do you plead guilty?

I made a huge mistake

that cost my sister's life.

I do not have the presence of mind to perform my duty anymore.

Administer whatever punishment

you see fit.

Punishment?

You will be disappointed then.

Because I'll keep you here,

so you'll forever be reminded

that you have what you have now

at the cost of her life.

Attention, Magical Pavilion.

Sovereign Lord Qingli, Yingyuan, will descend to the Mortal Realm soon.

Please ready any protective artifacts

for His Majesty's usage.

Why is His Majesty heading to the Mortal Realm out of a sudden?

His Majesty defied His Supreme Majesty

and went against the Heavenly Rules.

His Supreme Majesty then demanded

His Majesty to go through the mortal trials via Pool of Eight Hardships.

We'll put this on hold.

All of you,

prepare the artifacts now.

Noted.

Imbecile.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

you have been looking after us

in Yanxu Heavenly Palace.

Now that you're demoted to the Mortal Realm,

we will not sit by and do nothing.

These artifacts

can help you in the Mortal Realm.

Please take them.

Your Majesty.

The Mortal Realm is full of unknown dangers.

We at the Magical Pavilion have selected several artifacts for you.

Please carry them with you for protection's sake, Your Majesty.

I will carry nothing with me.

Please return.

Your Majesty.

I wonder if you'll take this with you.

His Supreme Majesty asked me

to see you off.

This is a lotus seed from the Jade Pool.

If you

plant it in the Mortal Realm,

it will definitely grow into something beautiful.

I hope the sight of it

can bring solace to you

in the Mortal Realm, Your Majesty.

Okay.

I'll keep it.

Your Majesty.

You refuse to take our offerings here,

but you treasure that seed so.

Unless

the seed has another significance?

If you do not explain,

we will be all crestfallen.

I care not what you feel.

We shall get going then, Your Majesty.

Thank you for intervening, Your Majesty.

I wonder if Yandan

is doing well.

She is in the Mortal Realm now.

Since her memory was forcefully removed,

she can only be a spirit now.

A spirit?

It's not bad.

They live a long life.

I'm sure

she'll be able to live more freely.

Who would have thought

that I would be going to the Mortal Realm too?

If I find her,

I'll bring you news of her

once I come back here.

Thanks, Your Majesty.

The mortals are made of flesh.

Their body cannot contain the power of the Greater Gods.

When a deity enters the Mortal Realm to go through mortal hardships,

they will create a celestial vest

to protect their immortal spirit

in case their mortal body bursts open.

Therefore,

Your Majesty must take good care

of the celestial vest

and Yandan too.

I know.

You have to go through the Eight Hardships

in the trials of the Mortal Realm.

All the best, Your Majesty.

Compared to what she has gone through in the Forgetting River,

this is nothing.

Farewell, Your Majesty.

It sure feels different being a mountain chief.

Everything looks better than usual.

Stop!

Stop it!

What are you doing?

What?

It's just being a mountain chief. It's not the end of the world.

I...

If you die,

what's the point of my ruling the mountain alone?

It's okay.

Let's renounce our title

and forget it.

Let me go.

No.

I won't kill myself.

I'll be the Mountain Chief, all right?

The mark on my wrist

was left by the person I'm looking for.

I'm using a spell

to combine my blood

and

her spiritual power.

Fish will gather here

and they will pick up her scent,

swim along the current,

and track her down.

The world is vast.

How much blood do you have to drain to find her?

I do not like your self-harming way

of tracking someone down.

Let's find another solution.

I would do anything

to find her.

How romantic of you.

It must

be a female spirit.

What is this?

What is going on?

No way.

Did I work too much these two days?

Oh, no.

It is already bad enough that I'm an amnesiac

at this young age.

And now, I'm becoming ugly?

A fish with a pink mark?

Maybe Heaven has heard my plea

and sent me the solution.

As they say, eat the part to cure the part.

So after I ate this fish,

my beauty returned.

No.

I have to get more of them.

Why would that old man want to attack me with a wooden sword?

Was the fish his pet?

Mister...

I should run.

The southern capital is populated.

This spirit is using her power recklessly.

She might frighten a few mortals.

Seriously?

It was just one fish. No need to pursue me like that.

Does he have to make a big deal out of this?

This spirit

is weak

but smart.

[Yanxu Heavenly Palace]

Fairy Zhixi.

You're in charge of this year's artifact replacement

for all palaces?

Fairy Yingdeng is about to be promoted

to be His Supreme Majesty's assistant.

She has a lot on her plate,

so she entrusts the trivial matter to me.

In that case,

you'll be the Curator

once she leaves then.

There has been no new blood in the Magical Pavilion for a century.

It's time for a change of things.

Indeed.

It is time.

Your Supreme Majesty,

fellow deities,

I am Yingdeng, the Curator

of Magical Pavilion.

The bicentennial replacement of artifacts,

disposal of waste, and the allocation of items

have always been under my care.

Since I am about to leave the pavilion,

I fear that my successor will mess things up

due to her lack of experience.

Therefore, before I step down,

I have prepared new artifacts

for all of you.

I appreciate your efforts, Fairy Yingdeng.

What a delicate object.

What is that artifact?

Your Supreme Majesty,

that is the artifact I prepared

for Sovereign Lord Yingyuan.

He is going through the hardships of the Mortal Realm.

He'll be able to use it

once he returns.

Good.

I'm glad you served him in the Yanxu Heavenly Palace.

Bring it here.

This belt

sure smells pleasant.

I concocted this Poluo Perfume myself.

It is refreshing and can help you focus,

perfect for one's health recovery.

Oh, the thoughtfulness of you.

Wait.

One jade hook is missing from this belt.

Perhaps,

I overlooked something.

Please forgive me.

Your Supreme Majesty.

Curator Yingdeng has always been attentive to His Majesty's well-being.

She is very careful too,

so she would never make such a simple mistake.

I think someone might have stolen the jade hook.

Elaborate, please.

Your Supreme Majesty,

Magical Pavilion once fell victim to thievery a while ago.

Curator Yingdeng did not want to raise mass concerns,

so she didn't report it.

And now, a similar event has happened.

Someone must be after the Magical Pavilion now.

Please help us, Your Supreme Majesty.

His Supreme Majesty has to handle many affairs every day.

Such a trivial matter

can be dealt with internally.

Worry not, Your Supreme Majesty.

Fairy Yingdeng, you have worked tirelessly for the Magical Pavilion.

It would be unjust if you were to shoulder

the blame for submitting mediocre artifacts

when you were about to step down.

Your Supreme Majesty,

if there truly is a criminal in the Nine Heavens,

it should be identified.

Please

remain here.

Curator Yingdeng, weren't you trying

to identify who stole the Sonic Bat?

Now that we solicited help from the heavenly soldiers,

you must be over the moon.

Why the long face?

Unless you have something

you don't want to be discovered?

So it was you who mishandled the belt.

You collected

so many of His Majesty's belongings.

I'm merely

learning from you.

What do you want to do?

I should ask you that question.

Poluo Perfume is made from dingzi

and yumi.

It does boost a restorative effect,

but once you increase the dosage of each ingredient

and mix it with several other medicinal herbs,

you'll get yourself the seductive yet forbidden perfume,

Lovesick.

So what if you know that exists?

I didn't add those extra ingredients.

You cannot prove I'm guilty of it.

Just because you didn't

doesn't mean I can't.
