Legend says that there are mountains and sky beyond this world.

In the great universe, stars and planets are in abundance and forever evolving.

In China, the daunting Zu mountains

are hidden by sweeping decks of cloud in the province of Sichuan.

It is easy to imagine that the place is infused with mysticism.

There are many unbelievable legends about this area.

One of these tells of people living in the mountains,

consuming its mystical essence so that their souls would be reincarnated.

They flew with their swords, chasing the wind, the moon and the stars.

They lived here to learn magical power, hoping to become part of the mystic realm

so that they could be reincarnated and live forever.

Pupils of Omei, as meditators,

you must remember that greed and jealousy are the roots of all evil.

Recently, when I was consuming the mystical essence,

I felt there was a strong force seeking to detect us.

I heard a cry of sorrow and pain, and the force was full of intent to kill.

It seems that evil souls are attempting to attack us.

The Omei clan is the most powerful of all

and we must guard against attack at all times

so that we can restore harmony in the Zu mountains.

See that?

Omei is still prospering. They still have many pupils.

Here, we only have the two of us.

In Kun Lun, the sun and the moon denote yin and yang.

Kun Lun means one sun and one moon, so there is always only one master and pupil.

King Sky, how long have I been teaching you?

Two centuries.

Two centuries. Another two centuries have passed.

I've never managed to forget my master, even though he left a long time ago.

I still miss him.

I can never surpass my emotions

and therefore I can't surpass my limitations.

King Sky, I don't want you to follow my path.

You must leave me.

This is my sacred weapon, the Moon Orb.

Do what I haven't succeeded in doing.

You must learn to use it skillfully before you come back here.

If you cannot find me on your return, the Moon Orb will lead you to me.

The Sun and the Moon Orbs are the most powerful weapons of Kun Lun.

How will you protect yourself if evil souls come to attack Kun Lun?

My fate depends on your success.

Don't hesitate. Go now.

The future has yet to be written.

Insomnia destroyed Huashan five centuries ago

and three centuries later it destroyed Kun Lun.

Now it can wait no longer to attack our mountain, Omei.

Evil will always be defeated.

The devil is attacking us much earlier than we expected.

We must move the innocent mortals away from here.

Two groups of mortals are fighting at the bottom of Zu.

Insomnia plans a fierce attack and the area of destruction will be vast.

Evacuate the mortals. Tell them to hide as far away as possible.

Yes, Master. I'll go at once.

I will come back as soon as I can to await further instructions.

Red, it's been a long time.

King Sky, I'm surprised you arrived here before me.

With fewer people, there are less procedures to follow.

You will not act without being ordered.

I am amazed you arrived so quickly.

But for the devil destroying Kun Lun two centuries ago,

you'd still be waiting for your orders.

No matter what, we must deal with the attack together.

How would you evaluate lnsomnia's power?

The Omei clan is the strongest in the Zu mountains.

Insomnia must be well prepared to declare this attack.

From what I have observed on my way here,

his power has at least tripled since last time.

If that is so, we must move the mortals away from here.

General, the path ahead disappears off a cliff.

There is a cry of sorrow and pain three miles away.

This is the enemy's tactic. The more we hear the cry, the more we go forward.

Yes.

- Front guard, Heyin and Honro. - Yes, General!

- Middle guard, Yitai and Fuhon. - Yes, General!

Go with my daughter to explore the path ahead.

- Yes. - We must not waste time.

As you saw, this is beyond your comprehension.

Take off all your heavy weaponry and head for shelter - the further the better.

We are soldiers, afraid of nothing.

How dare you speak to me this way! Capture them! Kill them!

Yes.

You don't know what is coming, do you?

Insomnia has accumulated power over a thousand years.

There's no time for debate. The devil is very close.

If you stay, you will all be crushed to death.

It has finally arrived.

You ugly bastard!

I have no interest in fighting you myself.

Is this how you really look?

Look out!

Come on, fight them! I doubt you can defeat your own shadows!

I can't help you with your weakness if you can't defeat them.

White Brows, you coward! You sent two dogs to protect you.

You have duped your many pupils with your fake sincerity!

Enigma, Thunder, Sons of Cloud and all my other 300 pupils,

come with me to destroy the devil.

We will.

Follow the Sky Shield!

King Sky! Red!

Go and help!

Red, it used your sword to escape. Follow it.

The Sky Shield led us here.

Insomnia must be nearby.

Heaven Sword!

Thunder Sword!

It's my elder brother.

Master.

Who is that?

He is a friend from Kun Lun.

- lnsomnia is up there. - He's there!

The vortex is pulling you.

What kind of entrance is this?

The powers of the Heaven and Thunder Swords were suppressed

and they were nearly sucked away.

This must be what our ancestors were looking for - the Blood Cavern.

Atlast, I realizethiswas Insomnia's plan.

He used us to open the entrance to the Blood Cavern.

If lnsomnia is able to harness the power within,

no one in Zu will be able to defeat him.

I have misjudged lnsomnia.

He hasn't come early to attack Omei.

He is only just beginning.

Master, let me go and destroy him.

Master, please allow me to go.

No, the Heaven and Thunder Swords are the sacred weapons of Omei.

You can't be trapped in there. Omei needs you.

Allowus,theSonsofCloud,togoin.

Even if we are trapped, Omei will not be left undefended.

We managed to get in here, but leaving won't be so easy.

Let's search separately. Come back here once you find lnsomnia.

If we can't find him, we'll stay and die here.

If either of us is possessed, promise not to hesitate.

Kill me outright.

Don't worry, I will.

- We have been friends for a century. - But we must follow our destined paths.

Guard the entrance. No matter what, don't let your weapons be consumed.

Wait for me here. Remember, you must not waste your lives.

Sky Shield!

Red, King Sky!

The Sky Shield!

The Sky Shield has been sucked in. What shall we do?

The entrance is closing! Don't hesitate. Leave now, talk later.

Master, the cavern is very large. Where do you think it stretches to?

It must stretch to the bottom of the Zu mountains.

We don't have much time. Let's get to work. Red!

Yes, Master.

You've been in the cavern and seen its power.

You are also my most highly skilled pupil.

Guard the entrance. Watch for any movements.

Kill first and report to Omei later.

I'm the eldest of your pupils. I'll set a good example and guard the entrance.

King Sky, although you are not a disciple of Omei, this is a disaster for all of Zu.

Inform the clans of the Five Peaks and the other Zu mountains

that they must be on guard to prevent their power being consumed.

I'll do everything I can to assist in killing the devil.

I didn't expect to come out alive. I look forward to fighting with you again.

We are both fighting the devil, no matter where we are.

Your guard duty is critical.

You must come back soon to assist me.

Enigma, Thunder, Sons of Cloud and all other pupils,

prepare for the destruction of lnsomnia!

Yes.

Brother, take care.

Take care. I can see King Sky has made an impression on you.

I have known my friend for two centuries.

He loves only one woman

and that is his master.

If he does have feelings for you, then he has changed.

Feelings can be short-lived.

Two centuries is a long time to remain unchanged.

We still have to practice for a few thousand years. I won't let my emotions affect me.

Enigma, let's go.

Although the nine sacred flowers of Omei cannot bloom at the same time,

the holy power here remains strong.

You sent someone to deliver the message.

I asked my eldest pupils to carve the holy scripts onto our mountains immediately,

but we were unable to stop our power being consumed.

The cavern must have expanded to the bottom of our mountain

to consume our power.

I am worried that the Buddha blessings on the Five Peaks

may not be able to protect us for long.

We may face disaster soon.

A holy flower has died. The power of Omei has begun to be consumed.

Like the flowers, our power will also gradually disappear.

The evil is empowered, the righteous power diminished.

To ensure that we defeat lnsomnia, as well as using Heaven and Thunder,

we must fight him with all our other weapons.

Couldn't Heaven and Thunder be combined to defeat lnsomnia?

The power of Heaven and Thunder combined would be infinite.

However, we have never succeeded.

They must be merged before the death of the other eight holy flowers.

The Heaven and Thunder Swords, the power of yin and yang,

can empower and yet destroy each other.

The merging has to be precise.

Even the slightest distraction will make their bodies burst into flames

and destroy their souls.

We must read each other's minds to merge.

After one or even two thousand years,

will we still be able to read each other's minds?

Move away, Thunder!

Go and see what happened!

Who is it?

If you cannot find me on your return, the Moon Orb will lead you to me.

King Sky.

She is your master, Dawn, from two centuries ago.

I used her ashes to transform her into Enigma,

the Guardian of the Heaven Sword.

But the merging of the Heaven and Thunder Swords failed.

I must travel to search for a more powerful weapon to kill lnsomnia.

And you are leaving our world for good.

What will happen to Omei? Who will be in charge of it?

Within the mountain range, there are few as skilful as you.

Please take charge of Omei.

I want you to be the master of Omei.

The canon of Omei is to unite divisions,

enact new laws, unite all able warriors and defeat evil.

I, White Brows, have led Omei for 2,000 years.

I must now withdraw to meditate, to prepare for the defeat of lnsomnia.

Your elder brother Red is guarding the Blood Cavern.

King Sky has now formally become the leader of Omei.

All pupils of Omei must obey and serve King Sky with all their hearts.

This is my decree.

I must succeed in being a pupil.

I must succeed in being a pupil.

I must succeed in being a pupil.

I must succeed in being a pupil.

No one may use the Thunder Sword now.

The only hope is to utilize Thunder's soul, which is left in the sword,

to reincarnate another immortal.

But this immortal won't be Thunder.

Fate will decide how much this immortal will retain the essence of Thunder.

Evil, no matter how beautiful you look...

I can squeeze you to death like an ant.

You are so frail, it is meaningless to kill you.

Guard the entrance.

Kill first and report to Omei later.

If the merging of the swords has failed,

then the only way to save Zu is to unite three distinct elements.

What does that mean?

It means uniting three powers to make a whole:

the powers of the mind, the universe and rebirth.

Upon my departure, I will leave Ming Fire with you, the power of the mind.

The weapon I am seeking is derived from the power of the universe.

As for the third power, the power of rebirth...

- Where can the third power be found? - It is within you.

Only with that can the three powers be united.

My departure must be kept secret so as not to distract the warriors.

How can I contact you if I encounter problems?

You won't be able to. You must act according to what you deem best.

You must rely on the power of my mind, the Ming Fire.

If the Ming Fire dies out, I will perish.

If I find the power of the universe, there will be a sign from the sky.

It will be the moment that we counterattack.

What if the pupils want to see you?

The Ming Fire will produce an image of me.

Remember, to save Omei the three powers must be united.

King Sky, I must go now.

Praise to the righteousness of heaven and earth!

Praise to the righteousness of heaven and earth!

Master, although I am away, I can feel changes in Omei.

Has Omei encountered any problems?

Red, you must have faith in me.

All is under control. The time for the attack of lnsomnia is yet to come.

He can't use his weapon yet.

Don't worry. Keep guard at the entrance and don't allow it to escape.

Any movement, inform me.

Have fortitude, and don't lose your faith.

Wait for good news from me.

Thunder?

He is not Thunder. White Brows has named him Ying.

He has to learn magic from scratch. It would be best if you are his master.

Omei only accepts those who can find their own sword in the mountain.

You may only be a pupil of Omei if you find your own sword.

Thunder, this is Enigma.

We used the Heaven and Thunder Swords together. Do you recognize me?

Thunder?

Thunder!

I want to be your master. Can you understand me?

He has no memory.

To have a memory, he must be enlightened.

It's the only way he can have magical power.

Emotion is an obstacle. Don't let emotion get in the way.

Be my pupil for now. I'll wait for you.

Why are you still here?

Can you not fly with a damaged wing?

Why are you born to be so fragile?

Let me help you fix your wings.

With them you can fly away.

Unlike me. I have wings, but I can't leave here.

I could let you go or I could kill you.

If you dare do that again, I'll kill you with my little finger.

So this is my sword. I found my sword!

I can speak. I can speak properly as well.

Do you hear me?

Can I be your pupil?

You want to be my pupil?

I can teach you everything. I just don't believe in a master-pupil relationship.

- Please teach me. - Let's start.

Yes.

When will I be able to fly like them?

Fly.

Fly.

I am weak.

I'll have a rest.

Please try to remember the past.

I can't with such a sword.

How can you be my master?

I'll be your master. Be enlightened.

I...

When will you learn?

Don't force me. You haven't taught me anything.

What do you want me to do?

Teach me, don't tie me up!

You were once a great fighter and used your sword with great skill.

Omei needs your protection.

You use that one and give yours to me.

I don't want to be your master.

I can be a master too!

I'll get enlightened by your great master,

or your great-great master!

You want to resist me? Don't you want to be with me?

Where do you want to go?

Omei? We have to part then.

Don't you want to be with me?

What is "uniting the three elements"?

It means uniting three powers to make a whole:

the powers of the mind, the universe and of rebirth.

Where is the third power?

It is within you. Only with that can the three powers be united.

Reincarnated immortals always leave their lights here, in the Tri-Element Hall.

Look over there. That is my master.

I have often been distracted by what you sense. Tell me what you want.

My senses are transmitted to you through my master's Moon Orb.

After the failure to merge the swords, you fell far into the water.

The Moon Orb extinguished the burning flame.

My master told me only the Moon Orb knows where she is.

What Moon Orb? I am not her.

The owner's possession knows best. Every weapon has its own soul.

The Moon Orb has always been yours,

regardless of what you have reincarnated into.

I wanted to command the Thunder Sword, but failed.

The swords are destined to their rightful owners.

They will accept no one else,

unless you remove its memory by taking it to the Tri-Element Hall.

That way, you may be accepted as the new owner.

Heaven Sword has called for Thunder Sword.

You must think carefully and decide whether you want to enter the hall.

Only I know you are still here.

Once I enter, no one in this world will realize that you really are Dawn

and no one will know the story of your past.

Dawn will never be reincarnated.

The Master of Omei.

Master?

Master isn't here. That explains why he hasn't been seeing us.

The Moon Orb...

I can absorb the intense heat in your body with the Moon Orb.

How can I summon the Moon Orb?

Teach me. How can I be his master again?

How can I save him?

Give me the Moon Orb.

Give me the Moon Orb.

I want to be your master again. Give me the Moon Orb.

We must reorganize Omei. We must have a master.

I am going to search for Enigma and Red, the eldest pupils.

We will unite our forces, to live and die for Omei.

Even if there is just one person left, we will fight to the end.

For righteousness, for Zu.

Even if we fail, we won't have failed our ancestors and prior masters.

I am going to look for Red now.

Red?

There is evil magic! Stay back!

Those who are not pupils of Omei, leave now!

We can't resist much longer! Everyone must leave!

Hide in the mountains now.

They're all falling! What's happening up there?

The magic has disappeared? Why is that?

Is anybody up there?

They are far too strong to resist. The place will soon fall. Take my sword.

From now on this sword belongs to you.

It will lead you down the mountain.

Go now!

There are a few more injured over there.

Red...

Master, help...

I have taken the Heaven Sword! I have defeated Omei!

Insomnia, Omei is defeated and Zu is mine!

You are still in the Blood Cavern.

Take her away.

Red, destroy the root! Destroy the palace now!

Where are you taking that sword? It's not yours.

Omei is destroyed. This place is ruined. I cannot stay here.

Those who succeed rule, those who fail follow.

I am a soldier and I will not tolerate submission!

I'll go back to the battlefield and defeat them.

Whoever dares to obstruct me is my enemy.

Enemy?

Although I only have a rusty sword, you disgust me!

Ying, we're waiting for you to find enlightenment.

- Why do you say that? - Our power has been dissolved.

Even if you are enlightened now, it's too late.

I only know I am not the rightful owner of the Thunder Sword. Let's go.

- Yes. - Wait.

You said you've all been waiting for me. What have you been doing?

We had to wait for you!

Thunder Sword!

So many of us perished because of this damn sword.

Take it out.

Take it out now.

Let me destroy it.

Take it out. Are you afraid of losing it?

Don't you want to be enlightened?

Take it out now!

Even though it's no longer a rusty sword, it won't be of much use.

If it was able to defend you earlier, it might be of help to us.

It's too late now. Let it rot on its own.

Can I come with you? Fly now!

I'm flying!

That's high enough! Stop!

- The Ming Fire Master left behind. - Master!

Master!

Master.

We failed you. Omei has been utterly defeated and destroyed.

The pupils left behind...

We are...

Ying, you destroyed the only sacred fire that was left to Omei.

Kneel and admit your guilt!

We cannot pardon him. Expel him!

- He has the Thunder Sword. - What use is just one sword?

You useless bastard! Give us back the Ming Fire.

The blue light in the sky is a sign from White Brows.

He has found the weapon we need.

That is the weapon. Take it.

Omei can survive by uniting the three elements,

by uniting three powers to make a whole.

The third power is the power of rebirth.

It is within you.

..uniting three powers to make a whole.

The unity of three distinct elements.

I have received the sign from White Brows.

It is time to counterattack.

But Enigma has been taken to the Blood Cavern. We must save her first.

In this battle, your souls must leave your bodies to enter the Blood Cavern.

Insomnia will do everything he can to find your mortal bodies and destroy them,

so that when your souls come back there is no mortal body to re-enter.

I suggest your bodies be guarded at Five Peaks.

Even if lnsomnia finds them, we can resist for a period of time.

Protect the mountain till we die...

Look at you! You are above everything. You own the world!

You are so elegant. Look at you, you shine!

The moon will be shining upon the Zu mountains.

Insomnia, you must leave now. It is an important day for you.

Your sword helped to defeat the enemy. How does it feel to win?

It takes time to adapt.

I will stand by you and you won't be alone.

- It is lnsomnia! - Really?

It is the cavern trap. We must be quick.

Go that way!

Some of the mountains are covered by a blood cloud.

We must focus on getting into the cavern to save Enigma.

The blood cloud has approached Zu and my own people are up there.

Do you want to go back and help them?

Would you leave them behind when you're giving battle to your enemy?

I understand. Go now.

If you perish in the battle against evil, we will perish too.

Look after yourself.

In this world, there is a force that protects righteousness.

I had the privilege to witness it. I can't hold onto him.

If I have a chance again, I will find righteousness in me.

Finally, my chance comes.

We meet again. But you are no longer Red,

just a dog guarding the cavern.

Why are you so longwinded? Because you are now the master?

What a waste of time.

I feel very differently from you.

You are sad and angry. I am excited.

I now knowwhat power really is.

My power is constantly increasing.

You are just a small fly to me.

I can easily crush you to death.

Enigma is below us.

What are you looking for? I guess you're looking for her.

I'll lift her up higher so you can see her.

That is only the body. Her soul is here.

And where has yours gone?

You really want to know?

Red!

Enigma!

Don't use the sword or it will be consumed by the Blood Cavern!

It consumed the sword!

Ying, your soul entering into Enigma's body will save her.

Good idea.

King Sky, you can't kill me. Enigma's soul is within me.

I haven't forgotten. I won't kill you yet. I will kill the devil woman in you.

I am passing you Enigma's soul.

How dare you!

Master!

King Sky!

My fate depends on your success. Don't hesitate.

Go now!

My fate depends on your success. Don't hesitate. Go now!

Let's go.

Master!

The future has yet to be written.

The future has yet to be written.

We will wait for you at Zu. Come back quickly!

Master, I was finally enlightened.

Are you Ying or Thunder?

Call me Ying. Are you well enough to use the Heaven Sword?

We need to merge the Heaven and Thunder Swords.

Let's get back to Five Peaks, where my mortal body is.

Do you recognize the Sky Shield?

This is Omei's most powerful weapon.

Let's see how you fight it.

It's the cavern trap!

We must be prepared for an immediate merge.

Protect the mountain till we die...

Here is the Buddha Palm!

You are doomed. Look around you. All forces of nature are controlled by me.

Let me have King Sky's body!

There's your mortal body!

How dare you try to consume me!

Save King Sky.

If his body perishes, so will his soul.

King Sky, we just found your mortal body.

How are you feeling?

Your mortal body is now inside lnsomnia.

You will soon be a part of him.

You will have to obey him and be his slave forever.

And your soul will be trapped in here.

I am far too clever for you. We are miles apart.

I lured you into the Blood Cavern

so that every time you use your power, the cavern consumes your strength.

The power of the Ming Sword will soon be totally consumed.

Try using it if you don't believe me.

I will have my revenge.

I will make sure we die together.

Hollow.

We are surrounded.

These are the souls lnsomnia consumed. Take Hollow away from here.

I really appreciate this.

Master, what should we do now?

We can't wait any longer. You can't hesitate like Thunder did.

It won't happen again. Let's start now.

Heaven!

Thunder!

Heaven and Thunder are the source of yin and yang.

The essence of nature is jointly nurtured by yin and yang.

The user of the sword must be committed and believe in its power,

that the user's body is part of the sword.

Stubbornness and anxiety will disturb the mind

and this will cause loss of control.

If this happens, failure is certain.

If you return and cannot find me, the Moon Orb will direct you.

Where are they?

If successful, they go to the tunnel of enlightenment.

We won't be able to see them with our naked eyes.

There!

I am made up of thousands of souls.

Every soul gives me a life.

You have to kill me thousands of times to exterminate me,

while I only have to kill you once.

I don't care how many souls you are made of - we will still kill you!

Red!

Amnesia, don'tyou dareescape!

You must destroy both of us. Otherwise I will be controlled again.

Do you remember our agreement?

Whoever was possessed, don't hesitate. Kill me outright.

Why not join our forces together to fight the devil?

My mortal body is not here anymore, but with lnsomnia.

My soul won't make it back to Zu.

If you don't exterminate me, I will die soon anyway.

You still have time to get back to your mortal body.

Although we have been friends for centuries, it is time to say goodbye.

Kill me now.

Protect the world, preserve righteousness.

Kill me!

- Yes. - No!

Merge our power once more to free the souls in the blood cloud.

Separate them all!

If we destroy the blood cloud, the souls will be no use to him.

Keep on separating them.

Be careful. King Sky is inside.

Too close. We must split.

It's the Ming Sword!

Insomnia, now that I am inside you you are doomed.

I remember that I am Dawn now. King Sky, you found me.

King Sky, when the merging of the power of Heaven and Thunder failed,

White Brows managed to reincarnate Enigma.

Why don't you use the same method to reincarnate Dawn?

If Ying found the Heaven Sword, then it is possible.

Today is a new beginning for Omei.

Omei has all of you here.

I promised my master long ago I'd go back to Kun Lun and rebuild it.

I hope that all of us in Zu will be united.

Omei's future depends on you.

To successfully merge the Heaven and Thunder Swords,

the new owner of the Heaven Sword must be enlightened.

What's with all this flying around? I'm not interested.

Don't worry. I was like that at first.

I will ensure that she will be enlightened soon.

I hope so too.
