=The Legend of ShenLi=

=Episode 32=

Lord Bicang! I can't believe it's her.

She's alive? I'll inform Heavenly Lord.

Go ahead.

Are you heading to the Extranatural Heaven?

Please wait.

You acted rather impulsively at the East Sea

and shook the Extranatural Heaven.

It may not be a good time to return.

Please hold.

How can it be? ShenLi?

- Your Excellency... - She's still alive?

- He found her! - You shouldn't have.

Lord Bicang is a real calamity.

Has His Excellency

fallen for her tricks?

Maybe it's plotted by the Immortal Realm.

Indeed.

I bet you haven't imagined that

you'd be accused

of being a seductress.

Your Excellency.

You're in the mood for a joke?

It's not funny at all.

Lord Bicang's nirvana in the East Sea

is a great fortune for the Three Realms.

We know that love is hard to find.

But it's impossible to have everything we desire.

Please remember your heavy responsibilities

and sympathize with the suffering

of the common people.

Please get rid of your affection

to keep the world safe.

May Your Excellency sympathize with the suffering

of the common people.

Please get rid of your affection

to keep the world safe.

(See, no one is blessing us.)

I know of all the suffering

and hardships of the common people.

It's just that

I've never done any harm to the common people.

I don't think you should judge me

for something that

has never happened.

Your Excellency froze the East Sea

with Water Halting Spell for ten days and nights,

violating the Natural Law and damaging yourself.

The Extranatural Heaven was shaken.

Stones fell, plummeting to the lower realm.

No one was hurt, but thousands of hectares of forest were ruined.

The relentless fire burned in the Mortal Realm for half a month.

Hundreds of mountain diviners worked for days

to extinguish the fire.

Your Excellency,

is that subject to punishment?

That was

my fault.

I deserve punishment.

You're the last honored diviner.

The Extranatural Heaven

is linked to your divine body.

The stones fell from the Extranatural Heaven

after you found Lord Bicang.

If something happens to her again,

wouldn't you endanger

the Three Realms altogether?

Your Excellency.

How can the people be at peace?

Please do not mind him.

Lord Wuyuan may sound harsh,

but he has a point.

Please think twice.

Please think twice.

Lord Bicang,

can you bear to watch His Excellency

face irreversible doom,

and let the Three Realms fall into chaos because of you?

This is

solely my fault.

It has nothing to do with her.

Please refrain from reckless accusations.

Besides,

even if I've done wrong,

it's about

abusing my divine power against the Natural Law,

and not about

falling in love with her.

Are you saying that

you're going to remain like this?

That won't do.

You can't do that, Your Excellency.

I will resolve the issue

with the Extranatural Heaven.

I'll take responsibility

for the burnt forests.

But when it comes to ShenLi...

I won't back down.

Not to mention you,

even she can't

change my mind.

You're our benefactor.

I will never lay a hand on you.

But I will not let you remain

obsessed with ShenLi.

If you do not

part with ShenLi,

I won't let you leave.

I believe I've made myself very clear.

There is

no room for negotiation.

Those who disagree,

as I quote Lord Bicang,

can bring it on.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

Falling rocks.

What should we do?

Yeah.

What should we do?

Get up.

Get up. Let me help you.

Heavenly Lord.

I am fully aware of

your concerns.

His Excellency has his beliefs.

And I have my principles.

Our top priority

is to stop the rocks from falling.

You sound reasonable.

We must stop the falling rocks

right away.

May Your Excellency sympathize with the suffering of the common people.

May Your Excellency sympathize with the suffering of the common people.

I'm on my way back

to the Extranatural Heaven

to solve this problem.

What about the next time?

And what about the time after that?

None of us

from the Divine Realm

will bless you two.

What's wrong?

You can't wait

to follow your principles?

I didn't speak up.

But that doesn't mean I agree with you.

We've settled this

on the snowy mountain...

That

was my fault.

I admitted it then.

Since you admitted your mistake,

wouldn't you take responsibility?

Sorry, I wouldn't.

What a heartless

and faithless lover.

I've made myself clear to you.

You know me.

Let's wait and see what happens.

There's no room for maneuver,

be it in the past or the future.

Let's go first.

As you said,

stopping the falling rocks is our top priority.

You must

help me with that.

Let's go.

(South Celestial Gate)

Guard the South Celestial Gate.

Understood.

Who are you?

Are you from the Immortal Realm?

I'm a maid of Lord Bicang.

I'm looking for Lord Xingzhi

to retrieve my lord's spear.

Maid of Lord Bicang.

Your master is quite something.

She's bewitched Lord Xingzhi.

She followed him to the Extranatural Heaven.

I don't know if she wants the spear.

But it seems that

she has won over His Excellency's heart.

Her Lordship? What did you say?

Her Lordship is still alive?

She's more than alive.

She's doing great.

Let me see Her Lordship.

You can't just enter the Divine Realm.

Get an imperial order

from Her Holiness first.

You enter the Extranatural Heaven from here?

Their memorial tablets

are naturally placed close to the Extranatural Heaven.

No one is allowed except for the gods.

Will it incur condemnation

if you take me in there?

I have no idea.

You...

How do you know

that no one else has entered?

I'm not

the first ancient god

in love with someone.

As far as I know,

none of the ancient gods

is so well-behaved.

The stars here are stunning.

Indeed.

Has it always been like this here?

Yeah.

If these rocks

fall into the lower realm...

Does it have to do with your wounds?

We can't let it collapse anymore.

Xingzhi.

The universe has its limits.

A thousand paths lead to one.

You're bleeding.

I stopped the rocks.

Those Diviners

keep threatening me

with the safety of the Three Realms.

Look around.

Who else is

as bound as I am?

You stand at a high place

with great power.

The people adore you.

Who else is worshipped

like you in the Three Realms?

You can't have it all.

I'm just whining a bit.

Why are you scolding me?

My food and clothing

are provided through their offerings in the Immortal Realm.

I have no other abilities.

I can only

protect the citizens

and keep those who worship me safe.

This is what I can do.

Lord Xingzhi,

perhaps we are born with things we must do.

It is both a duty and a mission.

Do you think

I'm unaware of

these principles?

I like you.

I want to be with you more than anything.

I want to go back to that courtyard

and sit under the grapevines

with you for sunbathing.

I have loved only one person.

And that is you.

Sometimes, I feel

I'm losing myself because I like you too much.

But I know that

love is not the only thing I live for.

I have things I must do.

And you have your duties to shoulder.

So...

You may be right.

♪Filling the empty spot in the heart♪

But at least,

love is something you live for.

And that is all

I need.

I will take on my responsibilities.

And I will help you

do your job.

What should I do if you

finish my job?

Just stay here,

and be safe.

That would be great.

This is absurd.

Since you have control over the falling rocks,

I shall return.

I will not let go.

Unbelievable.

Why do I need your permission?

I'd feel sorry.

I'd feel sorry for you.

Let me handle the dangerous tasks.

Xingzhi.

I am not a pet bird

to be caged.

In that case...

♪Defend the sun and the moon♪

♪Devote everything to the long-lasting wishes♪

♪Love is hardly complete♪

♪We can only protect all beings from perishing♪

♪Toast to the love and hate engraved into our bones♪

Xingzhi, you...

Why would you do that?

You'll be mad, anyway.

At least, it gives me some peace of mind.

Have a good rest here.

I will pay for my mistakes.

I will keep you here.

I'll also guard

the Three Realms.

I can't reason with him!

You're so unreliable.

His Excellency returned

and you knew nothing about it.

How would I know that they'd turn themselves in?

And I told you to go to the South Celestial Gate.

Grandfather and Lord Xingzhi

almost started a fight there, you know?

Grandfather made me kneel.

What could I do?

You...

I don't sense his presence.

Did they really come?

It seems that you do not agree

with the way I act.

But I have no other option.

Your Excellency.

Are you alright?

Where is Lord Bicang?

Yeah, I thought you

brought her back.

She's at the Extranatural Heaven.

Did Her Lordship want to go there

or did you simply...

It doesn't matter.

What matters is that

she has to stay there.

Your Excellency, did you

imprison her there?

Imprison her?

If you put it that way,

then so be it.

This may be inappropriate.

I've made up my mind.

No one can stop me.

The falling rocks

contain spiritual power.

I can't let them fall into the lower realm.

I must retrieve them all.

If there's nothing else, you...

I will go with Your Excellency.

But someone

from the lower realm

may bear evil intentions...

It's fin. I've improved

my power of purification.

Perhaps I can be of help.

Even if I can only help locate the rocks,

it would be faster, right?

It sounds like a plan.

You've enhanced my power of purification?

Consider it my way of thanking you.

You've finally returned!

Did anyone from the Immoral

and Divine realms come to investigate?

My lord, they've been overwhelmed

by the falling rocks.

No one has come here.

Do you think

you can control me like this?

It was Xingzhi's spell.

That ancient god is quite something.

You used

your last bit of power to trap me here.

Why?

I've told you.

Do not hurt ShenLi.

She actually made you

turn against someone who brought you up?

You nurtured me with your heart's blood

so that I could avenge my father.

You taught me to face the world with hatred.

But you have no physical presence.

You don't know anything beyond loyalty and hatred.

If I had known earlier,

I wouldn't have

risked my life to save you a thousand years ago.

It's been 1,000 years.

I've awakened far too late.

I've been looking for you everywhere.

The stones are crashing down.

And you're still after me?

Never mind the falling rocks.

Even if the sky collapses,

I won't let you off.

What about those rocks?

Once they fall,

the whole city will suffer.

Someone else is going to handle the rocks.

And I am going to deal with you.

You were born from my desire.

Don't you know me?

Trying to escape now?

No way.

How dare a cultivator meddle with my affairs?

Who are you, mortal cultivator?

You saved my life.

I acted rashly in a moment of panic.

It seems that

you don't need my help.

Mother.

How dare you leave before I'm done?

Get up.

Mother.

You can save them but you can't keep them safe.

I bet something

is seriously wrong above there.

It's no use trying to save them.

At least, I have a clear conscience.

Go!

- Go. - How many people can you save?

How long can you last?

How long can you

keep a clear conscience?

Forget it.

You did help me today.

I guess it's not that bad above there.

Someone is in charge.

Fate brought you to me.

Your Holiness.

The falling rocks have struck our abandoned city.

No casualties yet.

Your Holiness.

What about the Xutian Abyss?

Ever since Lord Xingzhi

restored the Five Elements Seals,

the Xutian Abyss has been very stable

with no miasma leakage.

The falling rocks haven't

affected the Xutian Abyss yet.

Good.

Your Holiness.

Your Holiness.

Your Holiness.

ShenLi's maid.

Still so impertinent.

Barging into any place.

It's fine.

Did you get the spear back?

Your Holiness, it is Her Lordship.

Her Lordship is back!

What did you say?

It's true. A Diviner told me in person.

His Excellency took Her Lordship

to the South Celestial Gate...

Your Holiness.

Your Holiness.

Greetings, Your Excellency.

Lan, what's wrong?

Grandfather.

Just tell me.

Promise me you won't be agitated.

I promise.

You're ready?

His Excellency

imprisoned Lord Bicang

in the Extranatural Heaven.

What?

You...

Didn't ShenLi say she has principles?

What about her principles?

It's about His Excellency,

not Lord Bicang.

He took the initiative?

His Excellency is so confused.

He is so obstinately misguided.

What should we do now?

See, you're always so agitated.

Then how should I be?

Should I smile then?

Let's go there

and bring back Lord Bicang.

Your Excellency.

I'm fine.

I can feel the rocks ahead.

Go look around

this area.

I'll find you once I clear

the falling rocks here.

Alright.

Your Holiness, what brings you here?

Lord Xingzhi

took Lord Bicang to the Extranatural Heaven

and imprisoned her.

It is so absurd.

We will not tolerate it.

I am determined to take ShenLi home.

But no one can enter the Extranatural Heaven

except for the ancient gods.

It is said that Deity Youlan

was frail as a child.

You sought

His Excellency's help.

His Excellency took her to the Extranatural Heaven.

With such great honor,

you were given the honorary title.

I wonder if you know

how he ascends to the Extranatural Heaven.

I-I was young back then.

I don't remember.

I don't know how to get there from

the ancient god's room.

His Excellency has gone to look for the falling rocks.

I'm afraid we won't be able to ascend.

He descended to collect the falling rocks.

We can only try

when he is not here.

Anyway,

could you please

take me to the Western Garden?

I really want to bring Lord Bicang

back to the Immortal Realm.

(Western Garden)

We are really sorry

to bother you.

But we have

no other choice at this point.

Lord Xingzhi

is the last god from ancient times.

He shouldn't have made such a mistake

and endangered

the Three Realms.

We are willing

to persuade Lord Xingzhi

to change his mind

and remain true to his initial aspiration.

Yulan.

Do you remember

if His Excellency has cast any spells

or activated any formations

to take you to the Extranatural Heaven?

He just glanced at me.

That very glance

was the key to the ascension.

Grandfather.

It was quite an ordinary glance.

Nothing about him is ordinary.

There must be something.

- Should I try? - Try it.

Okay, I'll give it a try.

Lan.

That was how he looked at me.

Try from another side.

Yeah.

I'll try the other side.

Come down.

You lack spiritual cultivation.

Yeah.

Try it.

Is there a certain move?

Well...

Why don't you try it, Your Holiness?

Just a glance? Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Well...

The Diviners don't seem very reliable.

And you just realized that?

They've been at ease.

Your Holiness...

His Excellency may have made a mistake.

But we can't be disrespectful

to the ancient gods' memorial tablets.

No.

I'm just trying to find a way to ascend.

But I doubt

there are any mechanisms

on these tablets.

Grandfather, Your Holiness.

I don't think we can find a way to ascend.

Why don't we go back?

If His Excellency returns and finds us here,

we'll be in deeper trouble.

Alright, try to remember if there was

something else

apart from that glance.

I think it was just a glance.

Grandfather.

I can't think of anything.

(I must have retrieved)
