[Episode 53]

4

I never thought the high and mighty Great Northern-Guarding General could have disappointing times.

5

It's not your place to laugh at me. The Tang Academy let me return.

6

His Majesty won't necessarily agree.

7

Don't forget,

8

the Majesty of your Tang Nation is also Fu Zi's student.

9

But General,

10

I trust that returning definitely isn't returning home.

11

Shrine Leader said that Xiling will always have a place for you.

12

I will never ascend the Peach Mountains again.

13

On top of the Peach Mountains are everything you want. Authority,

14

position, and strength.

15

Presumably, if you were an expert entering the apex of the martial arts world right now,

16

I trust that there would be no one in the world

17

that would dare to casually challenge you,

18

and there would be no one that dare to hurt that sister of yours.

19

That's enough.

20

Take back your things.

21

I am never lacking in this type of things.

22

Even if no one helps me,

23

I, relying on my own abilities,

24

can also look down on the world.

25

But this gift from the Shrine Leader that I brought

26

can speed up everything.

27

What?

28

Heaven Channeling Pill.

29

The item that countless cultivators under the sky dream of.

30

One pill is enough for you to breakthrough to the apex of the martial arts world in a moment.

31

But. You must be willing to use a mysterious tool

32

to end your own life.

33

At that time, the Heaven Channeling Pill will not only allow you to arise from the dead,

34

but will also allow you to gain new understandings.

35

We will wait for you in the Peach Mountains.

36

This is?

37

Take it.

38

If you feel that I took you under my wing

39

for money, then just leave.

40

This is for my wife to buy groceries.

41

If you need it, then take it.

42

The unknowable area in Xiling,

43

the Monastery of Knowledge and Obeisance. Where is it?

44

You are Long Qing?

45

You are Junior Uncle?

46

Student Long Qing greets Junior Uncle.

47

I'm sure.

48

Do you know what this means?

49

I understand.

50

As long as I can see the Book of Heaven, as long as I can keep cultivating,

51

it doesn't matter how much pain and torture I must endure.

52

Since this is the intention of Monastery Leader, of course no one dares to stop you.

53

It's just that I want to alert you that, with your current cultivation level,

54

reading the Book of Heaven can cause you to die at any moment.

55

The me today is just a walking corpse.

56

Go.

57

Is there anything else you will miss?

58

Then go with me.

59

Long Qing.

60

This is where the Monastery of Knowledge and Obeisance keeps seven scrolls of the Book of Heaven.

61

Junior Uncle, can I go in and take a look?

62

Long Qing.

63

Are you perhaps a little overly in a rush?

64

I just ask to see it once.

65

When you see the Book of Heaven, if you feel like something's off,

66

immediately put it down.

67

Thank you, Junior Uncle. I will remember your words.

68

This is for storing

69

the yet unfound Ming volumes of the Heavenly Books.

70

[Ming]

71

[Luo]

72

Luo volumes of the Heavenly Books?

73

At your current level,

74

the only volume you'll be able to open

75

is the one documenting the cultivators within the five sects of time

76

and their skills, the Ri volumes of the Heavenly Books

77

I will definitely climb to the top of the cultivators.

78

These names

79

will eventually be rocks under my feet.

80

Ye Hongyu, Ning Que, Xu Zhangxiao, Lin Yanglong

81

Ning Que.

82

Starting today, I will live again.

83

Starting today, you will walk towards death.

84

[Zeng Manor]

85

Come in, my daughter, come come.

86

Why are you carrying so much stuff?

87

Xiao Lian, come help.

88

- Yes, Madam.

- Yes, Madam.

89

Come, my daughter, let's catch up inside your room.

90

Young Master...

91

Come!

92

Great Scholar Zeng.

93

Do you still know where the Zeng family's front door is?

94

I know.

95

For most people, the three Grand Priests from Xiling

96

are similar to kings, especially the Divine Seat of Light.

97

He can be considered below the Head Priest but above all others.

98

However, what father could bear letting his daughter

99

travel alone so far away.

100

If she goes to Xiling, she won't be alone.

101

I will resign from my post

102

and go with her and her mother.

103

That Priest of Light is so great?

104

That's still better than living her life with you.

105

That day, in front of so many people

106

what did you say to Sang Sang in front of the Grand Priest of Heaven Decree?

107

Today I'm here with Sang Sang

108

because we want to discuss this.

109

What is this?

110

It's that thing.

111

I don't understand what thing you're talking about.

112

Marriage.

113

Proper Wife?

114

Of course proper. Is there an improper one?

115

Then in the future, are you going to take concubines?

116

Truth be told, I do want to

117

but do you think that's possible?

118

It's been a long time since the Scholar Manor had a wedding.

119

I've already picked an auspicious date. It's the day after tomorrow.

120

What do you think?

121

I don't agree.

122

Sang Sang. I am very serious.

123

I am also very serious.

124

What's wrong?

125

Young Master, we still haven't done something important.

126

What is more important than marriage?

127

That's right.

129

General, a letter from the Army Ministry.

130

- You can leave.

- Yes sir.

131

Approval for General Xia Hou's request

132

to leave his post.

133

It seems that I am really leaving.

134

Even His Majesty isn't protecting me anymore.

135

Xia Hou, do you recognize this broadsword?

136

Sect Leader's broadsword.

137

You remember this broadsword.

138

This broadsword is used to eliminate traitors from the Demon Sect.

139

Just you? Come at me.

140

You aren't worthy of being in the Demon Sect!

141

You led the barbarians south.

142

I didn't ask the Northern Guard to stop you.

143

You should know well why that is.

144

Do you consider that a gift to the barbarians?

145

Did you think we would be grateful and believe you?

146

No way! You will always be a traitor to the barbarians!

147

It's not your turn to point fingers at me!

148

You dared to kill your woman with your own hands.

149

Don't forget

150

that she's from the same sect!

151

That Junior Sister Xia Tian has a traitorous Senior Brother like you

152

Even I am ashamed for her!

153

There are some things I did not have a choice.

154

That I can live to today

155

it's not, it's not something I can decide alone.

156

Stupid lies.

157

A zombie cannot be considered living!

158

Although you possess

159

the sacred item sect leader behind,

160

it still can not penetrate my Light Armor.

161

You can not kill me.

162

I know I can't atone to our Demon Sect,

163

especially to my mentor,

164

today I will fulfill your wishes.

165

Shut up.

166

No!

167

I have already reached the apex of martial arts.

168

From today onwards, this world will never have anyone capable of defeating me.

169

You actually...

170

used Sect Leader's blade to ascend levels.

171

Tang, go back.

172

Take your clan. The farther you go, the better.

173

Living on is more important than your revenge.

174

Sword Sage Liu Bai.

175

Great River Sword.

176

Do you know what the most important accomplishment of my Tang soldiers are?

177

- Please do tell.

- In their hearts they have tolerance and insight for the world.

178

General is indeed wise.

179

My Tang Nation doesn't fear foreign enemies,

180

yet fears inner chaos. The most important fortress

181

inevitably collapses from the inside.

182

That Thirteenth Teacher has already walked out of Repenting Cliff

183

as well as a marriage engagement with the successor of Light.

184

However, whether this person is friend or enemy

185

we still don't know.

186

It is because of my inability. I have already dispatched people to investigate,

187

but I have not gained anything.

188

Then stoop down from your position as general

189

and personally investigate.

190

Yes.

191

That throne in the palace

192

can't be gained by just anyone.

193

Especially us two.

194

Why?

195

The Empress has Xia Hou's loyalty in the military.

196

In the cultivators, she has the Astronomy Bureau.

197

Even in the palace, there is an official like Zeng Jing leaning towards her side.

198

But Emperor Father has already ordered Xia Hou to go back.

199

But he has broken through.

200

might make it easier for him to do more.

201

Then what do we do?

202

Wait.

203

Wait for what?

204

Wait for the attitude of the Thirteenth Teacher of Tang Academy.

205

Him again? I just don't believe it. As the eldest son of the legal wife,

206

I have to have that Ning Que's support in order to ascend to the throne?

207

Hun Yuan.

208

Royal Older Sister. I really dislike him.

209

Royal Older Sister, you wait for him to treat you well, but he always fail to see your favor.

210

Stop waiting for his attitude, or we will be ruined by him sooner or later.

211

Don't say nonsense.

212

Ning Que, you just enjoy it while it lasts.

213

Just wait and see.

214

I also don't know why General Xu is so angry.

215

Perhaps it's because of the Thirteenth Teacher and his maid.

216

This maid is eccentric.

217

Wei Guangming interacted with her so long in the Old Brush Writing Shop.

218

I keep feeling that this matter is strange.

219

Who are you speaking for this time?

220

I don't dare.

221

I was only making considerations on behalf of my Tang Nation,

222

so I dared to present myself to you.

223

Then say it directly.

224

Don't hide behind General Xu.

225

Yes. Royal Brother, I believe that Sang Sang is after all a Tang citizen,

226

and she is also Thirteenth Teacher's maid.

227

If later she can really inherit the position of Grand Priest of Light,

228

it will benefit the Tang Nation.

229

This matter must depend on whether Ning Que is willing.

230

I don't interfere in his matters.

231

Also, regarding Xiling, the South Faction will naturally negotiate with them.

232

Associate less with them.

233

Yes.

234

Please leave.

235

I take my leave.

236

Your Majesty, according to the reports of the secret bodyguard,

237

Xia Hou has already broken through, reaching the apex of the martial arts world.

238

Invite Thirteenth Teacher here.

239

Yes.

240

Can this Thirteenth Teacher really be used by the princess?

241

I have met Thirteenth Teacher before.

242

I believe his relationship with Li Yu is indeed one beneficial to both sides.

243

If this is true, then according to what Princess said in the letter,

244

the probability of the Tang throne ending up in the hands of Hun Yuan is very large.

245

Your private relationship with Li Yu is good.

246

To you, and to the Yan State you will lead,

247

this is good.

248

But in the letter, she mentioned Long Qing's fall.

249

You can't even see through that?

250

The most toxic is the heart of a woman.

251

If Long Qing really dies,

252

then the throne of Yan State only has one successor.

253

Then the mutually beneficial relationship between you and her will become even more unchallenged.

254

Right now, everyone thinks that

255

the fight between me and Long Qing for the throne is irreconcilable,

256

but they don't know that my younger brother and I are working together.

257

Impudence.

258

If it's like this, never mention it again.

259

In front of others, this relationship

260

can't be revealed at all.

261

I know my wrong. These fifteen years, if not for Royal Father being here,

262

I have not dared to reveal myself outside.

263

It's just, now that Long Qing's survival is uncertain,

264

I am really very worried.

265

266

Watch your head.

267

Teacher-

268

This is a talisman my teacher left behind.

269

You can feel it.

270

You are worthy of being Yan Se's successor.

271

Anyone else that intrudes unauthorized would be wounded by the talisman.

272

Anyone else? Then Your Majesty and I...

273

I am the Emperor of the Tang Empire.

274

My body carries the royal spirit.

275

As for you,

276

You are the master of these talismans.

277

Furthermore, you are the master of this formation.

278

Formation?

279

Don't move.

280

This is the capital of my Tang Empire.

281

Look.

282

The Vermilion Bird Skyway.

283

Even the Old Writing Brush Shop?

284

Of course.

285

Every place in my capital

286

is on here.

287

This

288

is the God-frightening Formation.

289

The God-frightening Formation?

290

Who made it?

291

Your Teacher.

292

Great Expert Yan Se?

293

You are the Thirteenth Teacher of the Tang Academy and his disciple.

294

You didn't think of him first?

295

Fu Zi.

296

It was Fu Zi. Only he

297

would be able to build the great

298

This

299

is the God-frightening Formation's key pestle.

300

Many years ago,

301

He wanted me to give this to you.

302

I believe he's told you before.

303

The Vermilion has chosen you

304

Why me?

305

This...I don't know either.

306

Even if your Teacher couldn't tell you the reason why,

307

the Vermilion did indeed choose you.

308

The God-frightening Formation has a thousand-year history.

309

Every Emperor of the Tang Empire

310

spared no effort

311

to keep the formation intact.

312

Do you know why?

313

Teacher said

314

that the God-frightening Formation is the Tang Empire's last protection.

315

Protection.

316

He said it well.

317

With this formation,

318

the Tang Empire is safe.

319

Teacher said that when the God-frightening Formation activates,

320

it is the time when the Tang Empire is in real danger.

321

I hope that this formation will never be activated.

322

That means the day that I die, you will take my place

323

to protect it with your life.

324

How could I bear such a large responsibility?

325

Since you were able to become

326

the disciple of the Great Experts Fu Zi and Yan Se,

327

it is not without reason.

328

You will become the only master of the Tang Empire's God-Frightening Formation.

329

Even me and my descendants

330

are not qualified. The safety of the people of the Tang Empire

331

is now in your hands.

332

I fear that I can't handle it.

333

You are the Great Expert Yan Se's only disciple.

334

If you don't take it, who else should take

335

the key pestle?

336

Aren't you afraid that the rumors might be true?

337

What rumors? The ones about you being the Child of Hades?

338

The Child of Hades

339

probably wouldn't look like you.

340

Then what would he look like?

341

Besides, I don't believe them.

342

However, no one can deter

343

the arrival of the Eternal Night.

344

I trust Fu Zi's decision.
