[Episode 7]

Mother.

I don't think you remember

you have a mother.

I'm afraid

you probably think all the voidwalkers are fools,

pawns to be manipulated and used

as you will.

You've found out, Mother.

You pretended to be promiscuous and free-spirited,

gathering information in secret,

coveting the throne,

and even plo tting

to have Wudai and Dingyun turn against each other.

You caused such a terrible mess,

and you dared to hide it from me all this while!

I had them keep it from you

so as not to agitate you out of concern for your health.

How thoughtful

of you.

Please punish me, Mother.

How… How can I

use this whip?

Right.

I knew Mother wouldn't bear to punish me.

Not a single barb on that thing.

Mother,

I'm your biological son.

I'll teach you for being unrepentant!

Sir!

I'll teach you for being unrepentant!

It doesn't hurt.

Come here!

It doesn't hurt.

Don't pull my hair,

sir

!

is acting up.

Please calm down.

Rest.

Mother.

Feng,

I've told you this many times.

You and I are descendants of a clan that committed a grave crime.

There is no place for us

in the succession war.

The Void Empress is ruthless.

Do you really think

she can't see through

your facade?

It's dangerous to get involved in the succession war.

I

only wish for you to find someone you love

and live a peaceful life with her.

Why can't you

understand me?

Why do you refuse to give up on this obsession?

Mother.

I yearn for peace too.

But even after all these years,

I can't forget

how the Empress

afflicted you with that migraine

and how she drove us out of the Void

by claiming that we were sinful slaves.

I'm doing all of this scheme

so that we will never

go hungry or cold

ever again.

Feng!

The Fuzhu clan was annihilated

for going against the Void Tyrant's orders.

All of them died.

But you, a wretched woman, are still alive.

You're just a coward.

You seduced the Void Tyrant

with your looks

and even became his consort!

Do you think

I would allow

a shameless pair of mother and son such as you two to live?

No

!

Let my mother go!

I understand how you feel.

You were only a thousand years old back then

.

with me.

If you hadn't become the Void Patrol

by your own capabilities,

I wouldn't even be able

to stay in this Luowei Grotto in pea ce.

But, Feng,

you're fortunate

to have made it this far.

If you go any further,

I fear it will cost you your life.

If I don't fight,

I'll be at their mercy.

Either way,

they will kill us eventually.

I will become the Void Tyrant

and clear the name of you and the Fuzhu clan.

If the Empress, Wudai, and Dingyun

wish to wage war,

then we'll see who will be the last one standing.

You …

Mother

!

.Take

my mother to rest.

Yes.

-Slowly. -Careful.

I've taken the Zhulong Army

under my wing.

It's all that insignificant

and bastardly Chaofeng's fault!

He ruined my great plans!

Chaofeng has always been inconscious.

That is why we dropped our guard

around him.

How are you so calm, Mother?

Could it be

that you already have a plan in mind?

At times like this,

it is all the more important to remain calm and assess the situation.

Think about it.

The second we moved to take down Wudai,

Chaofeng killed Zhu Jiuyin.

(When Chaofeng was about to die at your hands,)

(Wudai came)

(and saved him.)

(That can't be a coincidence.)

You mean

Chaofeng

was behind all of this?

Him?

The son of a slave?

His cultivation is mediocre.

Would he be able to devise such a meticulous scheme

?

olutely not!

Chaofeng was able to escape from your hand

with ease

(that day.)

(His cultivation)

is most likely on par with yours.

We've underestimated him all this while.

However,

he poses no threat

on his own

. mean

he will work with Wudai?

We can't let them join forces,

of course.

Mother,

what is your plan?

My people have found out

that Princess Yetan

has frequently

been visiting Chaofeng since the trial.

growing closer by the day.

The Shangshu Academy examinations

have always been rigorous.

You're a mortal,

and you don't know any spells.

You'll need

to study hard

for the next three days.

Are you ready for this? can I learn

all of this in three days?

Three days is a short amount of time.

But once you learn one of them,

you'll learn the rest accordingly.

As long as you can master one spell,

the rest will come easy.

So you're saying

once I master one spell,

I can learn the rest easily?

Revitalization Spell.

Regenerate decaying wood.

May the wood be s Strong and thrive.

May it thrive and grow sturdy.

Rise from the ground.

May the earthen deity grant it health.

Transform!

Grant it health.

Why can't I turn it into a flower?

The chant is "May it grow healthy in the earth."

You were too fast.

I didn't even see your hands clearly.

Do it again.

I'm sure I can learn it.

The Revitalization Spell is advanced magical arts.

I presume the exam

will consist

of a few questions

based on the Transformation Spell.

You need to practice it well.

The Transfiguration Spell

is an art of transformation.

There are several levels to this spell.

The first level is to materialize an object from an existing object.

Advanced users may even materialize the five elements.

Knowledge Star Deity will most likely

test you on the basic spell

of transforming one item into another.

Watch closely.

You try it.

Manifest what's on your mind.

Like this?

Transform.

Transform!

Don't… Don't be impatient .It

must be a problem

with the inkstone.

I'll try again.

Transform

. t!

What was it originally?

A brush.

I turned it into candy.

It tastes so sweet!

It's lychee-flavored.

Try it.

Isn't it sweet?

Hey, how would you know

if it worked or not if you don't try it?

Even if it is candy,

the exam is tomorrow

. the exam

with these two shoddy works?

Turn them back

and get some rest.

How do I make this fluffy again?

Transform.

Why isn't it fluffy at all?

Liguang Qingkui!

Sorry…

Sorry…

The wind finally picked up,

but it turned out to be a huge gale!

But at least I finally made it to the Heavenly Realm.

That hurts…

Tan, Man,

where are you guys?

Come and greet…

me…

Little one.

Listen up.

I'm Princess Ziwu.

I'm going to pick you up now.

(Ziwu?)

Don't bite me.

(Xuanshang's little sister.)

(The Heavenly Emperor's youngest daughter.)

(My leg! My leg!)

(She is beautiful.)

(But she doesn't look)

(very intelligent.)

(If I can hold her hostage,)

(maybe I'll be able to rescue Tan.)

(The… The celestial patterns on her clothes)

(and the shards on her necklace)

(are all incredibly powerful)

(protective artifacts.)

(I…)

(I can't use my spells!)

(I'm not that easy!)

(All right.)

You're wounded.

Who could be so cruel

to hurt

a little puppy?

(Puppy?)

So cute!

(Don't touch me!)

So cute!

(Hands off!)

(I never knew being surrounded by pretty ladies)

(could be so terrifying.)

Over here!

Oh my gosh, Your Highness!

Are all dogs this cute?

Not necessarily.

The Howling Celestial Dog is a dog too.

But it isn't

as

cute as mine.

Of course.

All of you, stop it!

I am a wolf! Wolf!

Wolf!

How adorable!

Don't be afraid

. in my Nongqing Pavilion.

There, back to normal.

Don't give up. Let's keep trying.

Transform.

Transform.

Heed my word...

Transform.

Transform.

Transform.

Transform.

Transform.

Transform...

Why won't you transform

?

Transform.

Transform…

I set

the deadline

for three days.

Maybe I should have her withdraw from the exam.

You're the Empyrean.

You can tell this

to Knowledge Star Deity.

"Knowledge Star Deity,

Princess Qingkui

is my consort.

You only gave her three days

to master a ll these spells.

This is an unreasonable demand

for you to make.

I order you…"

I set the deadline

myself.

I mustn't abuse my authority.

How about this, then?

"Knowledge Star Deity,

my beloved consort

has limited talent Please

give her a little more time."

No.

That gives a strong sense of favoritism.

Isn't there any other way

to get him to change his mind?

We're done for, then.

This is too hard.

We' ve always been asked for favors.

We've never been the ones to ask for favors.

Stop talking.

Don't blame me for saying this.

Her Highness has been working so hard

.

she will feel

so discouraged.

Youqin.

Youqin.

Why are you here?

You're not here to invigilate the exam, are you?

The

exam is a trivial matter.

There's no reason

for the Empyrean to oversee it himself.

for my sister-in-law.

How sweet.

If only I had a relationship

like this too.

Listen.

I memorized everything.

I won't embarrass myself today.

I came today to...

Knowledge Star Deity is here to announce the exam question

! !

Farewell, Youqin.

Let's go check it out!

Hurry

up!

Wait for me!

Knowledge Star Deity.

Your Highness?

Why are you here?

I'm here…

to observe

.

great progress.

So he has come to see

if there are any talents

that

may

be capable of undertaking important roles in the future.

Today is the assessment of the Shangshu Academy.

His Highness has personally come to observe the examination.

and give your best performance.

I will reveal the exam question now.

Transfiguration Spell…

Your assessment is…

Transfiguration Spell…

Revitalize a dead plant.

Revitalize a dead plant?

Revitalization Spell.

The assessment ends when the incense stick is burned out

. the wrong question.

thod to cast the Revitalization Spell and Transformation Spell

is the same.

Only the hand gestures are different.

Do you still remember it?

I only saw it once.

How could I possibly remember it?

Hurry up and tell me now.

Isn't this cheating?

The rules are fixed,

but people aren't.

No.

I will never show bias.

If you can't remember,

you can withdraw from the examination.

I 'll make a plea for leniency on your behalf.

talking about?

It took me a lot to get this opportunity.

There's no way I'm giving it up.

Besides,

Knowledge Star Deity already thinks

that I'm relying on you.

If you ask him for leniency on my behalf,

he' ll look down on me even more.

There's no way

I'm going to give up.

I won't back out at the last minute.

I won't let them look down on me.

I'm sure I can remember it.

Before we start the exam,

the false shall be removed, and the truth shall be revealed.

What does he mean by that?

Watch.

What… What is going on?

To prevent the students from cheating

and ensure a fa ir examination

for all students,

Knowledge Star Deity cast a spell

so that anyone who has cast spells on themselves

will revert to their original forms

once they step into the barrier.

Even those who used spells

to alter their appearances

will not be spared

. 't know

that little guy cared so much about his height.

Everyone has the desire to look attractive,

but it is due

for the Heavenly Realm to get rid

of the bad habit of retouching appearances and altering heights.

The path of cultivation follows the ways Of nature.

Naturally, it is better to look natural.

Fairy Biqiong is really beautiful.

Yes, she looks so pretty.

(Those of the Xia clan are born beautiful.)

(We rarely alter our looks.)

(With such a group)

(of ugly female deities as a comparison,)

(Youqin will surely fall for me.)

(Youqin only has eyes for her!)

(I would like to see her true appearance.)

Come on, Princess Qingkui.

Sure.

The Empyrean Consort is a human.

I wonder if she disguised herself.

No idea.

We'll find out .

She is so beautiful!

She looks gorgeous!

Let's get a closer look.

You're a real natural beauty, Qingkui.

Indeed.

You...

You didn't alter your appearance?

(How unnecessary.)

(I don't even know how to perform the Revitalization Spell.)

(How could I know anything else?)

If you fail,

you'll disgrace His Highness.

It won't matter how good you look.

You…

Come on, Ziwu.

The examination

begins now.

(Impossible!)

(That can' t be!)

Qingkui, at this rate,

you'll get first grade!

♪Light paints the dark night red♪

♪Illuminating the world♪

♪Stars shine and flicker♪

♪Life whispers♪

♪Waking me up from my stupor♪ ♪

Your eyes glint like the bright moon♪

♪You hold the world by its fate♪

♪I have to decide now♪

♪Nature resonates with the mountains and the rivers♪

♪The world is untamed and unbridled♪

♪Come what may♪

♪I am willing to risk my life for you♪

♪Let's go stargazing tomorrow♪

Not only is Qingkui able to revive the dead plant,

but she can also transform it into birds!

She has improved so much in such a short time!

The examination is over.

Fairy Biqiong.

Fail.

Qingheng.

Second grade.

Princess Ziwu.

Second grade.

What about me?

First grade!

First grade…

In such a short time, you managed to reach a high level of mastery

of the Revita lization Spell.

How long would it take for you guys to reach this level?

For an average student,

from as little as one year to as much as three years.

It would take at least five years

to reach such an advanced level.

You

only gave me three days!

You were obviously

making things difficult for me on purpose.

Thank goodness I am clever and talented.

Wait

.

Why are there traces

of other spells here?

Other spells?

mastery.

But this is just poor execution of the Revitalization Spell

combined with the Transfiguration Spell.

You said to revitalize the dead plant.

You didn't say we could only use the Revitalization Spell,

did you

?

in-law's Transformation Spell

is really good.

That's right.

I admit

that for being able to learn and integrate these two spells

in such a short time,

you are exceptionally gifted

and intelligent.

You can

be awarded first grade. Assess

your Revitali zation Spell.

By that logic, what you did

was merely use falsehood to disguise the truth

and pass off an inferior item as a superior one.

And that's a stretch too.

Your actions and words are part of the assessment as well.

You…

You are arrogant and have no respect for your teacher.

Your grade will be lowered by one. Second grade.

You old man!

You're so petty!

How dare you act so impertinently!

If it were not for my appreciation of talent,

you wouldn't 't even get second grade.

Who cares what grade I got?

Either way,

I got into the Shangshu Academy.

Qingkui,

your spell mastery was incredible.

Indeed.

You're a mortal,

but you are outstanding.

I am ashamed of myself

A piece of cake.

Your Highness, shouldn't we congratulate Her Highness too? Forget

it.

I'm not good with words.

Let's go.

Your Highness.

Not bad.

Continue training.

Yes.

Did you hear?

been visiting

the Third Prince a lot lately.

That's not a big deal.

Everyone knows the Third Prince

is promiscuous.

This is dif ferent.

Princess Yetan

is the future crown princess.

If His Highness gets close to Princess Yetan,

doesn't that mean

he considers himself the future crown prince?

Insolent!

Your Highness.

Just now,

you said Chaofeng was vying for the title of the crown prince.

Is that true?

I dare not slider the Third Prince!

I am

the greatest warrior of the Void.

I've made great achievements in battle

. I haven't claimed that title,

what gives Chaofeng the right to do that?

Yes, Your Highness is right…

Come on, let's go meet him.

Her Highness's medicine is really effective.

The wounds from Consort Xue

and the injuries I got from you

are all healed.

I didn't expect her to possess such skills.

(Your Highness is wounded.)

(You must apply medicine promptly.)

Wait.

If I'm healed,

wouldn't that ruin her chances

of approaching me and

proving

her loyalty? Sir,

what else do you want Her Highness

to examine? Aren't you worried that Princess Qingkui

might find some other illness?

Cut the nonsense. The usual.

Help

me .

you want to break your arm or leg this time?

Arm.

On second thought, leg.

Wait.

Let's stick to the arm.

Never mind. Leg it is Your

Highness.

Your Highness.

You're finally here, Your Highness.

Your Highness,

to tell you the truth,

His Highness's condition has worsened.

How can that be?

It's...

-a cold. -Chest

pain. .

This is odd.

Nothing appears abnormal with His Highness's pulse.

Dingyun is cruel.

He must've used

the dark arts of the Void

to curse me with an illness

that could not be detected by my pulse reading.

Which side of your chest hurts , Your Highness?

The right side.

Strange. I thought it was the left side. Why is

the right side hurting now?

The left side hurts too.

This is the first time

I've seen such a strange disease.

medical books.

Oh, right.

Your Highness suffered a serious injury.

You need to be careful with your diet.

Vegetable pancakes?

I made you some seasonal vegetable pancakes.

Your Highness,

how could you prepare this

for His Highness?

Does Your Highness not like vegetable pancakes?

Your Majesty,

the First Prince is fierce and courageous.

He will su rely amount to greatness in the future.

The Second Prince is intelligent.

He will make great achievements in the future.

A toast to you, Second Prince.

He made you his consort,

but he deliberately mistreats you

.

to have a lighter diet.

It cleans your body and keeps your internal organs healthy.

Mother, aren't you upset

about your poor treatment at all?

The Fuzhu clan has been annihilated.

Its people have been slaughtered

. alive

and to be able to raise my child

now.

How could I be upset?

Eat up.

As long as I have you with me,

I don't think life is hard at all.

I, Xue Qingxin, raise a roast to Your Majesty.

Here. Drink.

Here.

I don't dislike vegetables.

I just don't like the days

when they were all I could have.

You should've been enjoying a life of comfort in the Heavenly Realm.

Yet you were dragged into the Void by me.

I don't want to let them trample over me,

but I'm imposing the same selfishness on another.

I'm sorry.

Don't say that, Your H ighness.

I'm in this mess

because

of the Void Empress and Second Prince's evil deeds.

Moreover,

I'm safe right now

because of your protection.

I can't thank you enough.

Chaofeng!

What brings Your Highness here?

Out of my way.

Chaofeng,

I heard you've been pestering

Princess Yetan.

Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, the rumors are true.

Do you actually take yourself

as the Crown Prince?

I…

Seize this rascal!

Yes.

It's because…

-Because what? -Your Highness!

You

misunderstood.

I

only came

to

treat Third Prince's wounds.

Treat his wounds?

Wudai!

All right, Chaofeng

. re actually a coward,

disregarding the rules of the Void and seeking medical aid.

Arrest him!

Seize him!

This is all because of me!

I insisted

on treating His Highness's wounds.

If Your Highness

wants to punish someone,

punish me. 't blame Third Prince.

You! Do you really think

I dare not do anything to you?

Do you think

I won't apprehend you too?

The rules of the Void cannot be disobeyed.

Since you are strict and impartial,

I'll have to

follow the rules.

I am willing to challenge Your Highness

in a match of martial arts.

I am willing to challenge Your Highnes s.

What did you say?

The rules of the Void

are determined by the strong.

If I can resist your moves

with my medical skills,

that proves

that the Void should not consider medical treatment a taboo.

And Third Prince should not be wronged for seeking medical attention.

Wudai,

she is jesting.

Do not take it seriously.

Your Highness, you...

I'm serious.

Your Highness,

are you afraid of accepting my challenge?

Impudent!

I've had my way in the Void for thousands of years!

There's nothing I fear!

Since you're willing to die,

I'll be happy to bury you.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I won't let you

suffer

because of me again.

I've been undefeated

for thousands of years.

Since you are the Crown Princess,

you can set the rules.

Weapons

or martial arts?

Name it.

Your Highness may use

any weapon or martial arts.

But before we begin,

will Your Highness allow me

to prick you with a few silver needles?

I have over thousands of years of cultivation.

There's not a hidden weapon I've yet to encounter.

A few n eedles

won't do anything to me. Do as you like.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Here. Help yourself.

Come on.

Her Highness is

frail .

said.

Are you just going to stand idly by?

Do you want me to fry some wolf's heart and dog's lungs

for you to have with some liquor?

Why so anxious?

She challenged Wudai

for my sake.

Of course I won't let anything happen to her.

Be quiet.

I hope Your Highness is a man of your word.

If I win…

Hold on.

Forget about winning.

If you can even beat one of my moves,

I 'll let Chaofeng go at once.
