[Burning Flames]

[Episode 30]

I will remember all of you.

I'll be somewhere distant,

watching you suffer from constant struggle,

despair,

and death.

Shi Xing!

Why did you stop me?

They have returned to the Immortal Realm.

Maybe you alone are able

to kill Xinyue Kui,

but there's no way you can

leave the Immortal Realm safely.

I thought

we would certainly win,

but I didn't expect

that in the Immortal Realm,

some grand immortals could be hundreds of times

stronger than the leading immortals of the six tribes.

Shi Xing,

our anti-immortal journey

has just begun.

A great cause can easily be ruined by a touch of impatience.

That's right.

We've made plans

to conquer the Immortal Realm.

We must avoid reckless actions.

Fine.

Since I've decided

to be your ally,

I'll take your advice.

Heroes, I'm late.

Sorry to keep you waiting!

The battle in Bai State

went pretty well.

This combat was indeed

unprecedented and phenomenal.

His Majesty especially asked us

to hold a banquet tonight

to celebrate victory with you heroes.

It isn't necessary.

It's true that we've defeated

the six tribes of the Immortal Realm,

but their leaders, in where they're from,

aren't the most prominent figures.

Our little accomplishment

isn't exactly remarkable.

Wu Geng,

though the great sages

are real menaces,

you're not fighting alone.

You're supported

by us, the entire Demon Clan.

And us, Shenyin Clan.

That's right. The whole Shenyin Clan

would stand alongside you on the battlefield.

Your Highness,

we are weak,

but for the sake of the people,

we're ready to make sacrifices,

and give up our lives.

Having you as my allies

is such an honor.

I, Wu Geng,

promise not to let you down.

Geng,

The previous battle was proceeded

with deliberation and brilliant strategies.

In particular, the fight against the six tribes

of the Immortal Realm and Xinyue Kui

inflicted severe damage on the Immortal Clan.

Geng,

have you been injured?

I'm fine, Uncle Ziyu.

Good.

As I recall,

in the King's City,

you once told me

that the way your father and I

fought Hei Long

let you see hope,

and convinced you

that immortals

were not invincible.

And now,

you've also let me see hope.

I can tell

that today the sudden appearance of

Xuanfeng Great Sage and the White Lotus Great Sage

has brought you

new pressure, right?

Uncle Ziyu,

between the six tribes of the Immortal Realm

and the great sages,

there's a huge gap,

while the latter and Hei Long

are even

worlds apart.

The battle in Bai capital

has made me realize

that our fight

against the Immortal Clan

is much more challenging

than I imagined.

It's true.

But the previous battle

was a knockout blow to the six tribes of the Immortal Realm,

and it greatly weakened the Immortal Clan.

Actually, in my opinion,

you're way out of everyone else's league

in terms of strategies and strength,

because under your leadership,

we have achieved

an unprecedented success.

Plus, you've made people

feel

convinced, empowered,

and hope.

I'm wondering about one thing.

Xinyue Kui is a conniving woman.

How did you manage to

trap her?

I used the Colorless-Realm divine power

to interrupt Xinyue Kui's spying on me.

In fact, both Wu Geng

and Gou are me.

My mother used to be a priest in the Immortal Clan.

When I was born,

she foresaw the misfortunes in my life,

so she extracted a portion

of the benevolent part in my nature,

and left it in the mortal world,

which then grew up to be Gou.

After the downfall of Xin State,

to cover up what she had done,

she recombined

me and Gou.

That is to say, I'm Gou,

and Gou is me.

Bai Cai,

actually, in the very beginning,

I meant to be upfront with you.

But as we spent more time together,

I gradually lost the courage to tell you the truth.

Why?

I was afraid that if I told you the truth,

you would chase me away.

I trust you,

and I won't chase you away.

Gou...

No. I should

call you Wu Geng now, right?

Bai Cai,

didn't you say

no matter what I came out to be,

I'd always be your beloved Gou?

So,

you can continue to call me Gou.

However,

we need to keep things from people for a while.

Good.

Very good.

Geng,

I believe at this moment,

your father and mother

must be filled with pride,

as they watch you in heaven.

I must defeat Hei Long,

as a way to pay respects

to my late father and mother.

Pause!

To better fight the Immortal Clan,

we must be vigilant and fully prepared.

Shields

are used to protect our bodies.

Use the power in your legs,

waist and arms at the same time.

You must see the shield as an integral part of your body.

Got it?

Yes!

Gather!

Assemble!

Your Highness,

I've let the soldiers pitch tents here,

and practice every day.

After training, they've become

more skillful.

But I'm not sure

if they're strong enough to fight the Immortal Clan.

Your Highness,

we want your opinion.

Yeah, Your Highness!

Will we be able to defeat the Immortal Clan?

Yeah, Your Highness!

Soldiers,

it's true that in one-on-one confrontations,

you're no match for the Immortal Clan.

But as long as you play as a team properly,

and practice more often,

I believe one day,

the Immortal Clan won't dare to look down on you.

Yeah! Even if we can't make it,

we can always count on His Highness!

So,

we need to work harder.

An enormous number of ants

can even kill an elephant!

Am I right?

Yes!

Just now, you said

you wanted to defeat Hei Long, didn't you?

You're admirably brave.

But let me tell you something.

In terms of strength,

the six immortal tribe leaders are like infants,

while our great sage is like a brawny man.

But compared with Hei Long,

our great sage is like an ant,

while the former is like a giant.

I'm not bluffing.

Even if we manage to fight our way through,

there will be a lot of deaths and injuries in our troops.

Grand Marshal,

do you have something

to discuss with me?

The look on your face

tells me you'd also like a discussion.

Our military action has a high profile.

It's only a matter of time

before the Immortal Clan takes measures.

Do you really think

we should

build a warship

to openly launch

massive attacks at the Immortal Realm?

That's exactly what I'm worried about.

Even if we can enter the Immortal Realm,

we'll definitely suffer great losses.

So,

it will be the best

if we can enter the Immortal Realm quietly.

Actually, a long time ago,

I had an idea.

At that time,

I was still working in the Northern Mountain Mine

as a slave.

It wasn't until I became

a centurion did I realize

that in the mine,

there would be several large shipments

of bloodstones every year

bound for the Immortal Realm by sea.

That's when I started thinking

if I wanted to go to the Immortal Realm,

then hiding in a ship

that carried bloodstones

could be a good way to do so

without being noticed, right?

Given what we're capable of,

it's easy for one person

to quietly sneak onto

one of those ships.

But it's impossible for so many soldiers

to do the same thing.

Wu Geng,

for each shipment of bloodstones,

what's the number and the carrying capacity of the ships?

Frankly speaking,

there would be quite a lot of ships,

but they can't

carry the whole anti-immortal army.

That said,

if the ships are ours...

Are you saying...

Grand Marshal,

don't say it out yet.

Let's write down

our ideas,

and see if we're on the same page.

[Freight]

[Freight]

That's right.

We're gonna build some transport ships

that are exactly the same

as the bloodstone ships

bound for the Immortal Realm.

Ms. Bai Cai, are you tired?

Not at all!

Let me take it off you.

Thank you.

You need a few days' rest.

Ms. Bai Cai!

Thanks.

Come on. Slowly.

Kong Que,

in these days, the number of patients

is much less than usual.

Yes.

Everything's getting better.

Where is Lan?

Wasn't she here just now?

Maybe she hasn't figured out

how to behave around you.

The high priest demanded that she kill you.

She has told me about it.

Shenyin Village owes you.

Sorry, Bai Cai.

It's okay.

I'm fine now, aren't I?

She failed to take my life anyway.

No one knows how many lives will be endangered

when we start attacking the Immortal Realm.

I hope there won't be too many casualties and injuries.

Kong Que, don't worry.

Every day, Gou

spares no effort to train the army.

The troops of the human race

will definitely grow stronger and stronger.

In fact, I know

that you're not only worried about the anti-immortal army,

but also

the innocent civilians in the Immortal Realm,

just like how you're concerned

about Zhui Ri Grand Immortal, right?

Honestly, I'd hate to see

casualties and injuries

happen on either side.

I hope after this battle,

there won't be warfare in the world anymore.

I believe

Gou will

make it come true.

Besides, there's one more thing

you need to be extra careful about.

It's true that the great sages are formidably strong.

But I've thought it through.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

We'll leap over every obstacle as it comes.

Now the only thing we can do is to focus on

the imminent problems.

It's not what I meant to say.

I know.

You're worried that the Immortal Clan

wouldn't easily give up.

You're thinking that the army of the human race

should find a new hideout.

Don't worry.

I've already had a plan.

What I meant to say is

that the White Lotus Great Sage's Earth-Realm divine power

is the worst poison in the three realms.

When its effects kick in,

even immortals can't help with anything.

You've never talked about it,

but I know

that you've been hit by him once.

It's a life-threatening issue.

You must treat it with caution.

I'm fine.

All I got was just a minor scratch.

It wouldn't hurt or itch.

Just stop worrying.

Don't push yourself so hard.

We're different.

You still have a whole life ahead of you.

I'm heading back to the Demon Realm.

If anything comes up,

just send me a message

via the contact stone I gave you.

Shi Xing,

Gou said

you and Uncle Ziyu

would be leaving today.

He asked me to bring you

some food before your departure.

It occurred to me

that back in the King's City,

you seemed to enjoy

the buns I made,

so I brought you some.

Wu Geng is indeed different from before.

When he awoke me in the Demon Realm,

I already felt

that there's boundless energy

hidden in him.

In the battle in Bai capital,

he showed both intelligence and bravery.

In such a short time,

he has miraculously organized an anti-immortal army

consisting of Shenyin Clan, Demon Clan and the human race.

He has even used Xinyue Kui's scheme against her.

In the past 100 thousand years,

the Immortal Clan has never suffered such a huge setback.

My beloved Gou is no doubt amazing.

Perhaps in the future,

he can really overthrow the Immortal King.

But before that,

there is another thing I'm concerned about.

It's relevant to you.

Me?

Uncle Ziyu,

when will you return

from the Illusion Island?

Don't worry.

The agreement between us

will remain valid forever.

If I need you...

Wherever I am,

I'll show up in time.

Shi Xing, you're leaving too?

The day the anti-immortal battle begins

will be the day we reunite.

Gou.

What's wrong, Gou?

You're upset about parting with

Shi Xing and Uncle Ziyu, right?

No.

Gou, something must be bothering you.

I'm all fine.

Don't keep secrets from me.

The departure of Shi Xing

and Uncle Ziyu is indeed bugging me, alright?

When we start striking at the Immortal Realm,

they'll come back to be with us, won't they?

If we win,

we'll see them more often.

[Gongchen Gate]

Yes.

After all, when we get married,

I'll invite them over for our wedding.

Have I agreed to marry you?

Gou?

Gou, what's going on with you?

Gou?

Gou! Gou!

Gou!

Gou!

Gou, what happened to you?

The White Lotus Great Sage's Earth-Realm divine power

is the most overwhelming in the three realms.

His Nine Voids Blood Lotus Pool

is highly toxic.

Even I can't do anything about it.

Wu Geng must've been poisoned

as a result of a sneak attack launched

by the White Lotus Great Sage

during their wrestle.

He should've received treatment days ago.

Now the poison has infected his divine spirit.

I'll tell the Great Swordsman to come back,

and get in contact with the Demon Clan.

We'll work out a solution together.

It won't work.

The Nine Voids Blood Lotus

grows in the ancient Crystal Mountain.

The ancient divine power

is the only cure for Gou.

The ancient divine power?

Gou.

Gou, would you please wake up?

Gou!

Gou, wake up.

♫Wild geese pass by in the autumn wind♫

Gou...

♫Leaves know the sky is cold♫

♫In a drunken stupor; I'm desolate♫

♫Dreams of good times are in vain♫

♫The moon in the sky is not me♫

♫How many times do you need to look back if you spend a lifetime together?♫

♫If you're destined to be alone♫

♫There's no way out♫

♫Don’t ask why or about honor and disgrace♫

♫And grieved over the suffering in the world♫

♫Wherever we meet♫

Bai Cai,

take a break if you're too tired.

No.

I must help Gou get better.

How is he?

♫And grieved over the suffering in the world♫

I can't believe he has really gotten better.

If this goes on for a few more days,

it might really help Gou.

Great!

Bai Cai,

it's gonna be a long haul.

Don't put too much strain on yourself.

Lan,

let's have a word outside.

Bai Cai,

what do you want to tell me?

I need your confirmation

on one thing.

Without it, I'll feel rather unsettled.

I'm all ears.

Did the old man

once make

a prophecy?

There are tons of prophecies made by the old man.

Which one are you talking about?

Cut it out, Lan.

You're as simple

as an open book.

You clearly know what I'm talking about,

but you're pretending that you don't.

When we were in Shenyin Clan,

the old man asked you to kill me.

Was it because he predicted something?

What compelled him

to make that decision?

Also,

when you tried to kill me,

you said the word "prophecy."

Don't tell me that you've forgotten it.

I dare not to let my thoughts run wild

because I'm scared.

You and the old man

are kind people who care about all the living souls.

If you are to kill me,

the reason must be that my existence

will jeopardize

your whole plan.

Am I right?

You have to avoid even the slightest risk.

For instance,

I might hurt Wu Geng.

How could it possible for you to hurt him?

To save Wu Geng's life,

you wouldn't sleep or rest.

No one in the world

cares more about him than you do.

But the old man told you to kill me.

It means I'm a threat, doesn't it?

Lan,

now that our talk has gone this far,

can you just tell me

the entire truth?

The high priest

foresaw that a girl

attacked Wu Geng,

and

threw him into an abyss.

The high priest only said

that when Wu Geng was being beaten,

he didn't fight back.

It made him believe

that the girl must be close to Wu Geng.

Maybe it's not you.

Bai Cai,

why would you suddenly ask me about these things?

Has anything happened recently?

Lan,

can I ask you for a favor?

Go ahead.

If...

If one day

I hurt Wu Geng,

can you please take my life?

Lan,

the old man already asked you to kill me.

I'm not asking for too big a favor, right?

I'm sorry

that I'm making the request in such a way.

But...

Apart from you,

I don't know who to turn to for help.

Bai Cai,

I should be the one

to apologize.

I shouldn't have kept the truth from you.

I shouldn't have intended to kill you.

Bai Cai,

I can't bring myself to hurt you anymore.

I just can't do it.

But I can make a promise.

I'll do everything within my power,

or even sacrifice my own life,

to protect Wu Geng.

The two of you

should stick together.

Don't easily give up.

Don't you remember what Wu Geng always says?

People can triumph over their fate.

Bai Cai,

are you hiding something

from me?

No.

I need to go on

to help Gou get rid of the poison.

As Kong Que said,

my power is really helpful.

♫Formless beast♫

♫Enshrouded by dark clouds♫

♫Prowling in the wind♫

♫Before I could take a breath♫

♫The walls of fate♫

♫Collapsed one after another♫

♫Who fought back, who never gave in, who held out hope?♫

♫Praying and calling in the abyss♫

♫Supporting some kind of faith♫

♫Holding up the unyielding heart♫

♫Abandoning the chaos of inner demons♫

♫Together we experienced joy and sorrow♫

♫Faced with continuous hardships♫

♫We went upstream against the current♫

♫Through the darkness, I cried loudly♫

♫You and I, our pride stands tall♫

♫Piercing through the endless despair♫

♫Letting the light shine through♫

♫Escorting the warmth across the river♫

♫Lighting up the spring in the future♫

♫In despair, there is hope♫

♫I fought back, and I lost hope♫

♫Nervous, helpless♫

♫Years of melancholy♫

♫Time is torture♫

♫That face, full of resentment♫

♫Suppressed, growling♫

But before that,

there is another thing I'm concerned about.

♫In illusions, the world is ever changing♫

♫Shackles of the soul♫

It's relevant to you.

♫Chaining expressions♫

Me?

♫Life is a prison; my dreams are my horses♫

Back in the King's City,

I attempted to

use your power

♫Fighting with each other for survival♫

to lift up the seal on my divine spirit.

♫Come and smell the blossoming flowers of chaos♫

I wasn't up to much good.

But what happened was beyond my expectations.

You actually

started repeatedly

using your divine power.

Don't you know

that before Wu Geng was able to use his divine power,

he had to go through the Divine Activation?

In contrast, you are

just a lousy combatant who has never

learned the techniques of the Immortal Clan.

How did you get all that

divine power?

♫Abandoning the chaos of inner demons♫

You should know that in this world,

♫Together we experienced joy and sorrow♫

every good thing comes with a cost.

♫Faced with continuous hardships♫

The fact that you're able to use

the ancient divine power,

♫We went upstream against the current♫

proves

♫Through the darkness, I cried loudly♫

that it has been in you all the time.

Have you ever wondered

who you really are?

♫You and I, our pride stands tall♫

♫Piercing through the endless despair♫

♫Letting the light shine through♫

Take my advice.

♫Escorting the warmth across the river♫

If you still want

to be with Wu Geng,

♫Lighting up the spring in the future♫

from now on,

try not to use

your divine power again.

It's been a day and a night.

I wonder if he's getting better.

Bai Cai has been outputting her ancient divine power for three days.

Can she cope with it?

There's nothing we can do now.

Our only hope lies in Bai Cai.

Gou,

you have to wake up.

You've promised to

restore peace

for the people.

You've sworn to free the old of suffering,

to feed the children,

to abolish slavery in the mine,

and to relieve people

from the oppression of the Immortal Clan.

They're all waiting for you,

hoping you to return freedom to the world,

and to improve social well-being.

Gou,

not a day we've spent together

has passed without bringing me joy.

No matter how time flies,

and how years go by,

you'll always be my beloved Gou.

Gou,

if...

If one day I hurt you,

it must not be the real me.

Because the real Bai Cai

would never hurt Gou.

It's all good now. He has recovered.

Great!

Let's go.

Kong Que, I'm doing okay.

This is odd.

You kept outputting

your ancient divine power for three days and three nights.

Instead of fatigue,

you've gained stronger divine power. How so?

Maybe I'm endowed with a special gift.

Kong Que,

you just don't have it.

Gou, you finally woke up.

Are you feeling unwell?

As I recall,

I was poisoned.

How did I manage to reach a full recovery?

You're amazing.

You were poisoned by the White Lotus Great Sage,

but you quickly recovered.

Bai Cai, how are you holding up?

I'm doing great.

You're awake now?

Has anything happened to Bai Cai?

Since you sank into a coma,

Bai Cai has been taking care of you.

I'm just thinking maybe she's exhausted.

Come on.

All the toxins have left Gou's system.

He is safe now.

However...

What's the matter?

Wu Geng,

now try concentrating your divine spirit.

My divine power is gone.

What should we do?

The toxins once spread to Gou's meridians,

causing suppression on his divine power.

Perhaps in a few days,

Gou will resume his power.

What if it won't happen?

Don't worry.

At least I've survived the crisis.

If the power won't come back,

I'll start cultivation again.

Under such circumstances,

cultivation can't get you anywhere.

You'll have to play it by ear.

By the way,

it's already been some time

since we left Shenyin Village.

It is high time

we went back to inform the villagers

of our victory in Bai capital.

Lan will stay here with you.

Contact me if anything happens.

I'll walk you out.

Gou!

You

should take your medicine now.

Don't you want to regain your divine power?

I'll see the people of Shenyin Village off.

You stay put.

Kong Que, let me walk you out.

Kong Que, what is this?
