[Episode 17]

This spear is called the Ancient Earthly Scales Spear.

It's a high grade spirit treasure.

Its Dragon Spear form is extremely formidable.

Only the Nirvana Stage cultivator knew how to draw it out.

He sealed all three forms within the ancient spear.

Don't fret. I'll help you.

But remember, don't show such clemency next time.

Again!

Master Yan is training him even when he hasn't fully healed yet.

He really is dedicated to Lin Dong's training.

Again.

The Tower Battle is nearly upon us. We don't have much time left.

Where did Ling Qing Zhu go off to?

She left just like that?

Does she want to be the Emblem Protector or not?

If she doesn't want it...

Why is her Yuan Power so unstable?

She's supposed to be at the Yuan Dan Stage.

That's stronger than I am.

This shouldn't be happening.

Unless...

she was injured in the tomb?

Qing Zhu, is everything going smoothly?

I've done as Master Yan asked

and given the Destiny Soul Emblem to the successor.

It's just that the successor may not be able to handle this duty.

The successor's role is so important.

Master Yan is an advanced cultivator and has always been able to read people.

How could he be wrong this time?

It's hard for me to explain. Master Yan may have his own ideas.

Qing Zhu, take care of yourself too. Don't act strong all the time.

You look weak. Did something happen?

While I was protecting the successor...

my Yuan pill shattered and my cultivation regressed.

What? How could you let that happen?

It's bad enough that you pushed yourself to advance.

It's important to be cautious when your Yuan pill hasn't stabilized.

Do you realize that once your cultivation deteriorates...

it may never fully recover?

Her cultivation regressed?

I'm worried about what will happen to my mother

if my influence in the palace dwindles.

Senior Su, I need you to keep this a secret for now.

I'll figure something out.

Don't worry too much.

It is possible to condense your Yuan pill again.

You can slowly recover your cultivated powers.

I'll take care of your mother.

Thank you.

M-- Mistress.

You and Qing Zhu really are close.

You've begun to disregard the rules too.

What? Her Yuan pill shattered?

It's the successor's fault for being useless.

Qing Zhu was injured protecting him. I know how important this is...

so I wanted to go help her.

Girls don't have to act so strong.

The successor is useless?

Even if he is, it's her duty to protect him!

But Mistress! What's done is done.

We need to figure something out.

The duty of the Emblem Protector

is to protect the successor at all costs.

Even if she gets hurt, it is to be done without regret.

Since Ling Qing Zhu has been defeated...

she must give up her position.

We're all born the same way.

Why is she so pretty?

How are her eyelashes so long?

And her lips are like a cherry.

- Huan Huan. - I-- I wasn't peeking at your training!

It's just that I noticed your footing was weak.

I was curious. If I hadn't followed you...

you'd have been eaten by the creatures of the forest!

Did you nurse my wound?

What, you think that bum Lin Dong would have?

Ying Huan Huan!

Never mind.

But you should go back to the palace since your Yuan pill shattered.

Nothing good will come out of going on like this.

Why aren't you going back home?

If I do, who's going to protect Lin Dong?

- I'm the Emblem Protector. - Idiot!

What's more important, your dignity or your life?

You don't even know if you can get through this in one piece!

I have more important things to do. I can't leave.

Getting the Yimo, right?

And Lin Dong is so obsessed with you!

- If he knew-- - Don't tell him.

I don't care about you two!

Just so you know...

I've already fixed your obstructed meridians.

Go ask Master Yan for some elixirs and you should be fine.

As for your Yuan pill... it can be condensed again.

The forward path is expansive, there's no need to fret.

Junior Ying, thank you.

I'm not helping you. I'm helping Lin Dong!

He says that in trying times, we're friends.

I have to live up to that.

As for you...

I don't want to see you crippled just like that.

I'm waiting for the chance to duel with you again.

Fight!

Nice!

Nice, Lin Dong!

Amazing!

Great!

Watch out!

Lin Dong!

Yes, get him!

That was brilliant!

Watch out!

Lin Dong, you lost again.

Boring.

That's why I told you, the world is dangerous!

How can you fight enemies without a brain?

The fairy maiden doesn't have as many tricks up her sleeve as you do.

That's why she has to suffer your antics all the time.

It's about to rain, go on. You have to memorize talismans now.

What?

- Lin Dong! - I win this time!

Nice!

What's the matter? Are you being a sore loser?

You got my clothes dirty!

Lin Dong, the tigress is here.

What do you mean?

Another female tiger has come.

I... I... Palace Mistress Shen Qing, this was my fault.

- I-- I-- - Quiet.

This is Nine Heavens Purity Palace's business.

It isn't your concern.

I know I made a mistake. Please give me another chance.

- Yes, another chance! - Shut your mouth!

You're certainly quick to admit your errors this time.

But being Emblem Protector isn't child's play.

Your cultivation has suffered a huge loss.

There's no reason for you to remain here.

You are to return to the palace immediately.

Palace Mistress Shen.

Isn't that too cruel of you?

You're more concerned with sending your disciple away

than helping with her injuries?

Lady Ying.

The only reason we at Nine Heavens Purity Palace cultivate

is for the sake of protecting the Emblem Ancestor's successor.

If I don't find someone to replace Ling Qing Zhu

do you plan on being... responsible for Lin Dong's safety?

What do you mean?

Fine! Who's afraid of whom?

Junior Ying, just stay out of this!

All right.

Your Yuan pill shattering isn't a trivial matter.

- Just go back with Mistress-- - I can't go back!

Ling Qing Zhu!

Mistress, I know I'm not capable of being a worthy Emblem Protector.

But I'm just as incapable of accepting defeat like this.

Please give me three days.

If I can't fix my Yuan pill... I'll accept my fate.

Ling Qing Zhu!

Fairy Maiden! What's the matter?

Pretty doll, stuff your ears and turn around.

Shen Qing!

It's been so many years. Your temper hasn't changed one bit!

It's not like yours has changed either.

Master Yan.

It appears... to be raining outside.

Fairy Maiden.

Maiden!

I'm sorry.

I doubt I'll be able to guard you in the future.

Our paths... diverge here.

This is between the two of them.

Did Lin Dong do something to her?

Are her tears bitter?

They're salty!

Let's leave him be.

You two are such martyrs!

Why didn't you tell me earlier, when you knew?

If I had, wouldn't you have given the Nirvana Heart to her?

Don't tell me you're actually planning on doing it!

Savage girl, is that Heart of Desire mirror with you?

Yes.

But... what do you want it for?

She says that our paths diverge now.

I have to prove her wrong!

Are you an idiot?

Ling Qing Zhu came here to kill the Yimo!

You think she did all that for your sake?

- I'm not letting you borrow it. - Fine then.

I won't borrow anything from you ever again.

Take it! But I'm telling you...

the mirror won't help you!

It's only capable of showing me and you!

Am I a fool? Am I a total fool?

What are you doing, coming in here all the time?

My wounds are nearly healed. You should go and rest.

You're injured?

It's not unusual to run into giant crabs when you often stroll by the sea.

One word from you, and the palace would send help.

You...

You... should focus your energy on helping your disciple recover.

But right now...

she's incapable of protecting your disciple.

Sometimes, the Emblem Protector isn't meant to guard his body.

She's meant to protect his heart.

His heart?

There's still time, isn't there?

Us elders have to learn to let go.

I agree.

Xuan Su.

Excuse me.

Take care of him.

What was all that about?

She has her Purity Palace, I have my Emblem Master Guild.

You do, huh?

We do. We do.

I'm exhausted.

You tire easily when you get older.

How come none of you went looking for the Ancestral Emblem?

It took so much effort to come back on my own!

Hurry and give me some Yang Yuan pills.

What?

I came back, so why are you upset?

Who could stop you from escaping?

That's true.

You should've seen how I played that brat.

He seriously thought I was the Emblem Ancestor!

Was there anyone else with him?

No, he was alone.

Although it's a pity no one saw him like that.

I had wanted you to keep an eye on Teng Lei.

Why did you come back?

Useless.

I missed you.

Your sulking face tells me the fairy maiden is mad at you again.

I doubt I'll be able to guard you in the future.

Our paths... diverge here.

The duty of the Emblem Protector

is to protect the successor at all costs.

Even if she gets hurt, it is without regret.

You kissed him!

- What were you thinking? - Impossible! I--

Mistress.

How can we help her?

There's no need.

This is a catastrophic moment in her life.

If she really is the Emblem Protector, she can bring herself back from it.

Otherwise, no one can help her.

But... if she keeps going on like this, she'll injure herself!

It's only three days.

So what if her cultivation deteriorated?

I went from being Celestial Demon Marten to a demon spirit.

That was your own fault!

You deserved it for lusting after the Ancestral Emblem.

She lost her cultivation protecting me.

She's such a proud person... and she got utterly ruined by me.

If it bothers you so much, just help her recover her powers!

Bullshit! You think it's that simple?

My father barely recovered over a decade after he was crippled.

I didn't have the ability to help him then

and now, I don't have the ability to help her either.

How so? Things have changed.

You're Guild Master now.

Are you just going to waste your position?

Where are you going? Where are you going? Wait!

Lin Dong!

Are you still hoping to be helped by your stone talisman?

I guess not.

- What? Get away from me. - Fairy Maiden.

The moon is beautiful tonight. Let's go sit on the roof.

Go ahead if you want.

- Come on! - You--

Why did you bring me here?

What else would a boy and girl do?

Don't you dare.

I'm the successor, you're the Emblem Protector.

- You have to obey me. - You're really a charlatan.

Everyone in the world knows I am!

I don't need you to tell me too.

But not everything a charlatan does is inappropriate.

What on earth do you plan to do?

Take this.

I can't.

You need it to win the Tower Battle.

- You sure? - I don't want it.

I don't need your pity.

If you refuse to accept it, I'll just have to give it to you by mouth.

After all, the Nirvana Stage cultivator practiced dual cultivation.

Watch it!

All right, fine.

Lin Dong!

You're making me go against my duty!

It's your fault for not obeying. So I have to change my tactics.

I don't want you to suffer or get hurt because of me.

My greatest motivation for training is to protect my family and friends.

You... are one of them.

If you keep resisting...

I'll really give it to you.

Let's see which one of us is more stubborn: you or me.

You see? The Nirvana Heart is working.

I used the Heart of Desire mirror to see. Our destinies are perpetually entwined.

- We have to keep walking this path. - I'm afraid you'll die.

If you're afraid I'll die...

then protect me for the rest of my life.

This brat is so much easier to swindle than Lin Dong.

What an arrogant fool.

Let's just get the Ancestral Emblem back first.

What's going on?

Brilliant! The Nirvana Heart didn't go to waste!

Lin Dong!

You've really ruined me this time!

Well, what's happened has happened.

It's not like you can gouge the Yuan pill out.

Yes, I'd rather do that than accept your grace!

How do you think your actions will affect the guild and the palace?

All I know is that... I want you to live.

I'd rather die than live like this.

Lin Dong!

Crap.

Good news! Just brilliant!

Your powers are much stronger than they were before!

The Nirvana Heart is truly a special object!

Lin Dong! Are you stupid?

How could you give the Nirvana Heart away so easily?

- And you gave it to-- - If not her...

- Was I supposed to give it to you? - I'm being serious with you!

Do you realize that ascending stages takes five to ten years?

The Tower Battle is in a few days!

How do you plan on getting through it without the Nirvana Heart?

So what if I don't get stronger? I use my brain to accomplish things.

Worst comes to worst, I'll fight them hand-to-hand.

I won't necessarily lose to Ghost Puppet Sect!

Master Yan isn't even worried, so why are you?

- You-- - Master Yan is full of tricks and plans.

Isn't that right, old man?

What gives you the right to make that assumption?

How dare you think I'm just full of ideas?

- Master Yan, are you really angry? - I'm not really angry!

Master Yan, it's my fault. He just wasn't thinking.

Ling Qing Zhu!

How dare you take the successor's treasure as his protector?

You're too self-obsessed. I can't show you mercy this time.

- Mistress! I-- - Palace Mistress Shen.

I didn't want her to leave, so I forced her to take the Nirvana Heart.

I only want her to be my protector.

If someone else replaces her, I won't be the successor anymore either.

Master Yan, what kind of disciple have you trained?

The Emblem Protector has recovered and the successor has made a mistake.

Just leave it to Emblem Master Guild to resolve this.

I'm disciplining my own disciple.

All right, all right. But I'm here too!

I'm begging you. I'm begging you!

Shen Qing, go on.

Do as you see fit. You're to follow Master Yan's orders.

If he loses the Tower Battle...

there's no need for you to return to Purity Palace.

Master Yan, is there really no other way?

No!

If you think being successor is a joke, then you don't need to be Guild Master!

Lin Dong, go apologize. Go!

Master Yan, have you really changed your mind about me being Guild Master?

Yes, I didn't think about the bigger picture.

You don't even know what the bigger picture is!

Lin Dong, you do share a destiny with the Absorption Ancestral Emblem

but you're too selfish.

Everyone in the guild respects you and calls you "Guild Master."

But you put their livelihood and honor in the back of your mind.

You are much too selfish.

You're completely pigheaded!

- But I-- - That's enough!

You've already made your decision!

We don't need you to be Guild Master.

Any disciple of Emblem Master Guild would do better than you.

We don't need you anymore. You're free to leave Yan City.

Go!

Master Yan... don't go, Master Yan!

Emblem Master Guild obtaining the Nirvana Heart...

likens it to a fierce tiger.

Lin Dong's powers will increase dramatically. Most importantly...

How will you earn the Absorption Ancestral Emblem's acknowledgement?

You lose to people, not to formations.

This battle can't be avoided.

It seems... we can only wait for the Tower Battle.
