WEBVTT

01:28.520 --> 01:30.960
ADAPTED FROM BAI LU CHENG SHUANG'S
LOVE IN THE CLOUDS

01:38.240 --> 01:41.360
Congratulations on soon obtaining
the Golden Millet Dream

01:41.440 --> 01:43.240
and ruling the Six Realms, Your Majesty.

01:44.160 --> 01:46.199
Save the flattery.

01:46.280 --> 01:48.880
I called you here because I have
an important task for you.

01:50.080 --> 01:52.920
You have been obsessively searching

01:53.000 --> 01:55.360
for your missing brother, Ming Xian.

01:55.440 --> 01:57.600
Do you know where he is now?

01:58.119 --> 02:00.960
Does Your Majesty know where he is?

02:02.880 --> 02:04.679
It's no wonder you couldn't find him.

02:05.440 --> 02:08.079
Who would have imagined that Ming Xian,

02:08.160 --> 02:10.759
Yaoguang Mountain's Warrior God,
the winner seven years running,

02:10.840 --> 02:12.600
would actually be a fairy?

02:14.480 --> 02:16.560
She fled into enemy territory,
Jixing Abyss,

02:17.079 --> 02:20.400
and even degraded herself
by marrying Ji Bozai.

02:22.000 --> 02:23.400
Ming Xian

02:23.920 --> 02:27.400
is the little fairy beside Ji Bozai?

02:28.160 --> 02:29.840
Ming Xian went to Zhangwei Mountain,

02:30.760 --> 02:32.680
broke through the Zhulong Barrier,

02:32.760 --> 02:34.359
and took Bo's Medical Classics.

02:35.000 --> 02:37.320
So, the blood flowing through her

02:37.920 --> 02:39.720
must be from the Bo clan.

02:40.600 --> 02:42.680
How can that be?

02:42.760 --> 02:44.200
I didn't summon you here

02:44.280 --> 02:46.600
to have you foolishly ask
how that is possible.

02:48.000 --> 02:50.519
I have managed to manipulate
the outcome of the drawing

02:51.840 --> 02:55.799
so that the tea gathering
will be held at Yaoguang Mountain.

02:56.760 --> 02:59.519
That is your territory.
You know what to do.

02:59.600 --> 03:02.799
Ming Xian will attend the tea gathering
together with Ji Bozai.

03:04.320 --> 03:06.679
You will investigate her background,

03:06.760 --> 03:08.600
capture her alive,

03:09.120 --> 03:10.440
and bring her to me.

03:11.920 --> 03:13.040
Understood.

03:20.519 --> 03:23.320
You know how to use
the Soul-seizing Technique, right?

03:28.720 --> 03:30.440
I will not fail you, Your Majesty.

03:57.720 --> 04:00.920
So, Father has suspected
Ming Xian's background all along.

04:14.679 --> 04:19.360
Chao Yuan, do you wish to protect her?

04:20.240 --> 04:22.640
Then grow stronger.

04:22.719 --> 04:26.039
Make yourself
the only one by Ming Yi's side.

04:26.120 --> 04:29.520
That way, you can protect her,

04:29.599 --> 04:31.440
possess her,

04:31.520 --> 04:34.000
and make her yours.

04:36.320 --> 04:42.039
Let me teach you how to truly be powerful.

04:47.159 --> 04:48.560
Your Highness.

04:49.120 --> 04:52.039
Or should I call you Chief Situ?

04:54.919 --> 04:57.440
To what do I owe the honor
of your summons?

05:01.960 --> 05:03.640
Just call me Your Highness.

05:05.320 --> 05:06.360
I can bear the title.

05:08.120 --> 05:09.599
Lord Chengyun,

05:09.680 --> 05:12.280
you were the one who forcefully
broke the array at Jixing Abyss

05:12.360 --> 05:15.880
and tried to enter
my Judgment Hall, weren't you?

05:16.960 --> 05:18.840
You've been chasing
after Ming Xian relentlessly,

05:18.919 --> 05:21.840
and even now, you still won't give up.

05:21.919 --> 05:23.120
Your Highness,

05:23.760 --> 05:24.960
what is it you really want from me?

05:27.680 --> 05:29.680
You were present when my father and I

05:30.680 --> 05:31.520
spoke that day.

05:32.599 --> 05:34.320
You must have heard everything.

05:35.800 --> 05:37.479
Now, in all Six Realms,

05:38.000 --> 05:40.440
I am the only one who knows
the recipe for the Golden Millet Dream.

05:41.120 --> 05:42.880
To make it,

05:43.400 --> 05:47.760
I first need more vagrants.

05:48.280 --> 05:51.000
If you can lend me a hand in this,

05:51.520 --> 05:53.000
then once I've refined
the Golden Millet Dream,

05:53.719 --> 05:55.840
I could consider sharing more
of both the Golden Millet Dream

05:55.919 --> 05:58.719
and the Heavenly Grief with you.

06:02.320 --> 06:03.800
Your Highness,

06:05.520 --> 06:06.800
sounds like you have big ambitions.

06:06.880 --> 06:08.440
Let's not beat around the bush.

06:09.080 --> 06:10.599
You want to become
the ruler of Yaoguang Mountain,

06:12.159 --> 06:13.359
and I

06:14.560 --> 06:16.400
want the throne of Zhushui.

06:20.400 --> 06:21.479
When the time comes,

06:22.400 --> 06:24.280
we can form an alliance

06:25.520 --> 06:26.599
and get

06:28.400 --> 06:30.320
all Six Realms under our control.

06:31.680 --> 06:34.320
Your father still lives.
For Your Highness to say so…

06:34.400 --> 06:35.680
My father is old.

06:37.120 --> 06:38.120
Besides,

06:39.520 --> 06:41.200
how do you view your own father?

06:42.000 --> 06:43.840
We're not that different.

06:44.440 --> 06:46.840
With power and titles at stake,

06:47.440 --> 06:48.880
who wouldn't make plans?

06:50.200 --> 06:53.560
Would you rather believe
in an old ruler nearing his end

06:53.640 --> 06:57.640
or choose to side with someone
who promises you a future?

06:59.320 --> 07:01.960
Since you're offering
the Golden Millet Dream,

07:02.039 --> 07:05.359
there must be
something else you want, right?

07:07.440 --> 07:09.640
At the tea gathering,

07:09.719 --> 07:11.039
if you manage to catch Ming Xian

07:11.120 --> 07:12.719
and figure out her true identity,

07:13.320 --> 07:15.640
I'd like you to bring her to me first.

07:16.239 --> 07:19.479
Trying to earn some credit
in front of your father, are you?

07:20.159 --> 07:22.159
This is my gift for you, Lord Chengyun.

08:10.799 --> 08:11.679
Such power…

08:13.239 --> 08:18.120
Your Highness, you've truly changed.

08:19.039 --> 08:22.039
If you are happy
with this gift, Lord Chengyun,

08:22.560 --> 08:24.239
about what I just said…

08:25.400 --> 08:26.919
It's a deal.

08:35.799 --> 08:38.319
-Check out our store!
-Come and take a look!

08:38.400 --> 08:40.640
-We have all kinds of styles available.
-Come on.

08:40.720 --> 08:42.319
-This way, please.
-All right.

08:42.919 --> 08:44.959
After Mu Qibai tricked me

08:45.040 --> 08:47.360
into handing Ji Bozai
the Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop,

08:47.439 --> 08:49.800
Tianji assigned me a task.

08:50.480 --> 08:52.199
We're heading to Yaoguang Mountain soon.

08:52.280 --> 08:53.680
I need to complete it first.

08:53.760 --> 08:56.439
Otherwise, I might
cause trouble for others again.

08:57.360 --> 08:58.560
What task?

09:00.360 --> 09:02.680
To practice discernment.

09:06.480 --> 09:07.520
Learn how to handle situations.

09:11.520 --> 09:14.640
Scenario one. You're late
to the tea gathering,

09:14.720 --> 09:16.280
and a Yaoguang Mountain warrior says,

09:16.800 --> 09:18.560
"How nice of you.

09:19.079 --> 09:20.199
You didn't show up for the meal,

09:20.280 --> 09:23.000
but you came to pay the bill."

09:23.079 --> 09:24.240
What do you say?

09:25.120 --> 09:27.040
"So, you came early

09:27.120 --> 09:29.079
just to avoid paying the bill?"

09:30.800 --> 09:32.280
What a brilliant, sarcastic remark.

09:34.040 --> 09:35.720
Was I being sarcastic?

09:36.600 --> 09:37.800
I didn't mean to.

09:42.160 --> 09:45.120
Scenario two.
Tianji buys tea and snacks for everyone

09:47.439 --> 09:48.680
but leaves you out.

09:49.280 --> 09:51.079
What do you do?

09:52.880 --> 09:55.439
Tianji would never do that.

09:58.040 --> 09:59.360
You're that confident?

10:02.480 --> 10:03.959
Scenario three.

10:04.040 --> 10:06.120
The Emperor of Zhushui sees you

10:06.720 --> 10:08.199
at the tea gathering and says,

10:09.000 --> 10:11.560
"The youth are impressive.

10:11.640 --> 10:15.600
Looks like I'm really getting old."

10:16.839 --> 10:17.760
How do you respond?

10:20.000 --> 10:22.880
The Emperor of Zhushui
is over 100 years old.

10:23.400 --> 10:24.360
He really is old.

10:29.959 --> 10:33.040
JADE RABBIT HALL

10:35.760 --> 10:39.000
Can you two stop laughing now?

10:39.079 --> 10:40.720
Even your poses are the same.

10:41.720 --> 10:43.120
I didn't want to keep bothering you,

10:43.199 --> 10:45.439
so I asked someone else
to help me practice discernment.

10:46.280 --> 10:47.319
Is that really so funny?

10:47.400 --> 10:48.680
-Yes, it is.
-Yes, it is.

10:51.079 --> 10:53.000
All right, come on, sit down.

10:53.079 --> 10:54.360
Sit down.

10:56.520 --> 10:59.240
Listen to me. If you keep practicing,

10:59.319 --> 11:02.000
you'll definitely improve over time.

11:02.079 --> 11:03.120
I believe in you.

11:05.400 --> 11:08.000
But I'm so worried.

11:08.079 --> 11:10.839
I caused so much trouble
for Ji Bozai last time.

11:14.000 --> 11:15.560
At the tea gathering,

11:15.640 --> 11:16.920
if someone from Yaoguang Mountain

11:17.000 --> 11:19.360
asks you to pass something
to Ji Bozai like last time,

11:19.439 --> 11:21.280
will you still do it without hesitation?

11:22.000 --> 11:23.360
Of course not.

11:23.439 --> 11:25.800
I'll check it at least
eight or ten times first.

11:25.880 --> 11:27.040
That's the spirit!

11:27.120 --> 11:28.880
See? You've made great progress.

11:32.360 --> 11:33.680
Right.

11:34.199 --> 11:37.199
It seems my recent efforts have paid off.

11:37.719 --> 11:40.400
I'll go find Chen Xi
to help me practice more.

11:40.480 --> 11:41.439
See you.

11:42.120 --> 11:43.600
By the way, this is for you.

11:48.120 --> 11:50.760
It's just a habit of mine.
I wanted to make you happy.

11:54.240 --> 11:55.560
Of course I'm happy.

11:55.640 --> 11:56.800
Silly.

11:57.920 --> 11:58.760
Thanks.

11:59.959 --> 12:03.560
We three will always
be the best of friends,

12:04.120 --> 12:04.959
right?

12:05.040 --> 12:05.880
Of course.

12:06.640 --> 12:07.600
Of course.

12:07.680 --> 12:08.520
Here.

12:11.240 --> 12:13.280
One candy for each of my good friends.

12:13.360 --> 12:14.520
Here.

12:19.880 --> 12:22.240
PURE AND NOBLE SPIRIT

12:22.319 --> 12:24.800
On the way, quiz me some more.

12:24.880 --> 12:25.880
No problem.

12:26.400 --> 12:28.640
Can the boat carriage
carry all this stuff?

12:28.719 --> 12:30.959
No matter how much, it'll fit.

12:32.600 --> 12:33.920
Be careful, Chen Xi.

12:36.760 --> 12:37.920
I've read about so many places

12:38.000 --> 12:41.120
in Yaoguang Mountain
to eat good food and have fun.

12:41.199 --> 12:42.760
There's even a market

12:42.839 --> 12:45.439
only opens around the Sunlight Festival
at Yaoguang Mountain.

12:45.520 --> 12:47.599
It's said to be a must-visit spot
for the immortal couples there.

12:48.400 --> 12:49.880
Let's share a boat carriage together,

12:49.959 --> 12:51.040
and I'll tell you all about it.

12:51.880 --> 12:54.880
Are you sure I need you
to tell me about it?

12:57.040 --> 12:59.400
Right, I forgot you were
from Yaoguang Mountain.

12:59.480 --> 13:00.480
She's taking my boat carriage.

13:02.520 --> 13:04.400
Immortal Ji, I know

13:04.480 --> 13:06.640
you don't want to be apart
from her for a single moment,

13:06.719 --> 13:08.520
but you should still
ask her what she wants.

13:08.599 --> 13:10.120
Of course. But Fairy Zhang Tai,

13:10.199 --> 13:12.400
I want to ask Ming Yi about…

13:14.040 --> 13:17.760
some matters regarding artifacts.

13:18.319 --> 13:19.480
That's right.

13:19.560 --> 13:21.360
I've always been
very interested in artifacts.

13:22.079 --> 13:24.079
And since, to the outside world,

13:24.160 --> 13:25.640
-she's still my wife,
-Hey, you.

13:25.719 --> 13:27.120
traveling with me

13:27.199 --> 13:29.839
will prevent anyone
from suspecting her identity, right?

13:34.280 --> 13:36.640
That's hard to refute.

13:36.719 --> 13:37.640
But I've seen through you.

13:38.839 --> 13:40.360
I still want to share
a boat carriage with you.

13:40.439 --> 13:41.560
-We'll get there in no time.
-Master,

13:41.640 --> 13:42.760
we've finished moving the luggage.

13:43.280 --> 13:44.360
Well done, Chen Xi.

13:51.160 --> 13:54.360
At this tea gathering,
I count on you to fight for Jixing Abyss.

13:54.959 --> 13:56.640
It will be fraught with danger,

13:57.160 --> 13:59.400
so be careful, everyone.

14:00.280 --> 14:04.319
I will pray for you in Jixing Abyss.

14:05.280 --> 14:08.240
May stars and blessings
forever grace the Abyss.

14:15.520 --> 14:19.319
YAOGUANG PALACE, YAOGUANG MOUNTAIN

14:21.760 --> 14:23.040
The first event of the tea gathering

14:23.120 --> 14:24.920
is tomorrow's spiritual power test.

14:25.680 --> 14:27.719
The spiritual power stone will assess

14:27.800 --> 14:29.280
each warrior's spiritual power level

14:29.800 --> 14:31.839
so the others can adjust
their strategies accordingly.

14:31.920 --> 14:35.040
I heard the test would be followed
by a travelers' competition.

14:35.120 --> 14:35.959
Warriors can't participate.

14:36.839 --> 14:38.240
This year's prize
is a black lingzhi mushroom,

14:38.319 --> 14:39.920
which is especially rare.

14:40.000 --> 14:40.880
I really want to check it out.

14:41.640 --> 14:42.800
You only think about having fun.

14:42.880 --> 14:45.199
-We're here for business.
-I know.

14:47.040 --> 14:49.599
Immortal Ji, what should we do next?

14:51.800 --> 14:52.959
Yan Xiao, Meng Yangqiu,

14:53.040 --> 14:54.560
go to the warriors' base

14:54.640 --> 14:56.599
and report the list
of warriors for the test.

14:59.199 --> 15:00.520
Chen Xi,

15:00.599 --> 15:02.719
come help me check
the artifacts we brought.

15:03.319 --> 15:04.240
Yes, Immortal Ji.

15:06.719 --> 15:08.199
Ming Yi.

15:10.319 --> 15:12.199
No tasks for you for now. Get some rest.

16:02.959 --> 16:04.920
Your Lordship, aren't you worried
you'll end up with nothing?

16:05.839 --> 16:07.040
I gave her the Golden Millet Dream

16:07.560 --> 16:08.800
to keep her alive,

16:08.880 --> 16:10.000
not for anything else.

16:11.160 --> 16:13.520
Hesitation suggests fear.

16:13.599 --> 16:16.280
What I want is for her to choose me,

16:17.040 --> 16:18.120
despite the many difficulties.

16:19.760 --> 16:21.280
But what if she doesn't dare?

16:22.280 --> 16:24.120
She is Ming Xian.

16:24.199 --> 16:25.640
What is there to fear?

16:26.719 --> 16:29.000
She just needs time to understand.

16:29.079 --> 16:30.520
-Then…
-Enough.

16:31.120 --> 16:32.400
The competition begins tomorrow.

16:32.479 --> 16:33.439
Don't you have somewhere to be?

16:35.319 --> 16:36.199
Understood.

16:48.040 --> 16:51.839
BORDER OF ZHUSHUI SPIRITUAL STATE

17:02.040 --> 17:03.560
This man used to be
a warrior of our realm.

17:04.159 --> 17:06.040
He made a mistake
at the Qingyun Two-Realm Tournament.

17:06.119 --> 17:07.960
The Emperor of Zhushui

17:08.040 --> 17:10.399
sentenced him to be bitten
by a fish monster in the stomach

17:11.359 --> 17:13.399
and stripped him of his warrior status.

17:14.040 --> 17:16.560
After that, he went completely mad.

17:17.599 --> 17:20.879
How many more vagrants
like this are there?

17:23.119 --> 17:24.200
A hundred and thirty-two.

17:24.879 --> 17:27.159
That's still not enough
to make me more powerful.

17:29.280 --> 17:30.280
I'll think of another way.

17:40.000 --> 17:40.840
Your Lordship…

18:09.680 --> 18:11.080
Freshly baked pastries and buns!

18:11.159 --> 18:12.520
-Make way!
-It looks so tasty.

18:12.600 --> 18:13.800
PASTRY

18:13.879 --> 18:15.280
-Here.
-Sir, take a look!

18:18.399 --> 18:20.240
Come and have a look!

18:20.320 --> 18:22.960
Wait for me!

18:24.560 --> 18:27.120
I don't know how strong
the other warriors are

18:27.200 --> 18:28.240
at this tea gathering,

18:29.480 --> 18:30.919
but we must not take things lightly.

18:31.440 --> 18:32.480
Smells so nice.

18:32.560 --> 18:33.879
-Make way please.
-One more?

18:37.080 --> 18:37.919
Take a look!

18:38.000 --> 18:39.639
What are you doing sneaking around?

18:39.720 --> 18:40.600
Come again, sir!

18:40.679 --> 18:41.800
I took the wrong path.

18:41.879 --> 18:42.919
Stop right there!

18:44.840 --> 18:47.159
What happened?

18:47.240 --> 18:48.080
It's all a misunderstanding!

18:48.159 --> 18:49.000
-What happened?
-They're fighting.

18:52.000 --> 18:53.159
She's my friend.

18:53.240 --> 18:54.639
I asked her to come find me.

18:57.520 --> 18:58.360
It's fine! Nothing.

19:01.399 --> 19:02.760
Please wrap this for me.

19:02.840 --> 19:04.679
Of course. Coming up.

19:09.600 --> 19:10.600
Why…

19:12.080 --> 19:13.120
Why are you here?

19:13.720 --> 19:14.960
Of course I came.

19:15.560 --> 19:17.120
I wrote you so many letters,

19:17.200 --> 19:19.159
but every time,
you replied so perfunctorily

19:19.240 --> 19:20.760
with phrases like "got it" or "I see".

19:22.000 --> 19:22.879
I…

19:24.320 --> 19:25.280
I…

19:33.200 --> 19:35.800
Don't tell me

19:35.879 --> 19:37.520
you're married!

19:37.600 --> 19:39.520
If you are, I'll definitely expose you.

19:41.360 --> 19:43.760
It's not like that. Really.

19:44.360 --> 19:46.200
I'm just not good with words,

19:46.840 --> 19:48.159
so I've been focusing on training,

19:48.240 --> 19:50.600
hoping to win the Blessed Rain first,

19:51.440 --> 19:53.000
so I can give you a stable life.

19:53.080 --> 19:55.760
That's the only reason?

19:56.760 --> 19:57.919
Yes.

19:58.440 --> 19:59.800
I knew it!

19:59.879 --> 20:01.760
You like me!

20:01.840 --> 20:02.679
Of course.

20:04.120 --> 20:07.639
FRESH TASTES EATERY

20:10.840 --> 20:13.600
Preparing for the test
won't take too much time.

20:13.679 --> 20:16.480
We rarely get a chance
to leave Jixing Abyss.

20:16.560 --> 20:19.480
We should take
this opportunity to look around.

20:20.000 --> 20:21.080
-Come and have a look!
-It's all home-made!

20:21.760 --> 20:23.040
All good stuff.

20:23.120 --> 20:24.320
Come take a look, young immortal.

20:25.000 --> 20:27.560
-These artifacts are finely crafted.
-Take your time, Sir.

20:27.639 --> 20:30.120
Pick one you like. I'll buy it for you.

20:31.760 --> 20:33.639
No merit, no reward.

20:37.600 --> 20:38.800
Just choose one.

20:38.879 --> 20:41.080
You helped Yangqiu
practice discernment earlier,

20:41.159 --> 20:42.399
so you're half his master.

20:42.480 --> 20:45.879
Think of this as his tuition fee.
What do you say?

20:46.960 --> 20:47.800
But…

20:48.720 --> 20:49.800
No buts.

20:49.879 --> 20:51.399
Pick whichever you like.

20:52.760 --> 20:54.879
-All right, then I'll pick one.
-Go ahead.

20:56.960 --> 20:59.360
The night market at Yaoguang Mountain
is always bustling.

20:59.440 --> 21:02.080
I remember there was
a scallion pancake stall there.

21:02.159 --> 21:03.840
I used to go every day.

21:04.360 --> 21:06.919
Even the owner remembered
how I liked my pancake.

21:08.240 --> 21:10.159
It's all thanks
to your seven consecutive victories

21:10.240 --> 21:11.679
that Yaoguang Mountain is so prosperous.

21:12.800 --> 21:14.879
I didn't realize
until I came to Jixing Abyss

21:15.480 --> 21:17.040
that when some are laughing,

21:17.120 --> 21:18.240
others are crying.

21:21.720 --> 21:23.080
This one's really easy to keep alive.

21:30.040 --> 21:31.679
Sir, we'll leave these here.

21:32.480 --> 21:34.440
-No, we won't charge for that.
-Yaoguang Mountain truly is wonderful.

21:35.000 --> 21:37.720
When will Mangfu Swamp and Cangwu Hill
ever be this prosperous?

21:39.040 --> 21:41.800
Even the artifacts
at the market are top-notch.

21:41.879 --> 21:45.960
Yeah. Once we finish
our work and get paid,

21:46.040 --> 21:47.560
we can buy new artifacts.

21:48.320 --> 21:49.879
Let's take a look there.

21:49.960 --> 21:50.800
Sure.

22:03.560 --> 22:06.480
Are you the younger brother
of Immortal Xu Yun from Jixing Abyss,

22:06.560 --> 22:07.480
Chen Xi?

22:08.679 --> 22:09.960
Chen Xi?

22:10.040 --> 22:10.919
Wow,

22:11.000 --> 22:12.439
you've grown so much in just two years!

22:12.520 --> 22:13.639
Exactly!

22:15.520 --> 22:17.840
Uncle Xiao, Uncle Tai!

22:18.600 --> 22:20.520
You came to the tea gathering
this year too?

22:20.600 --> 22:21.679
-Yes.
-Yes.

22:21.760 --> 22:23.040
If you like this dagger,

22:23.560 --> 22:25.720
I'll give it to you.

22:26.639 --> 22:29.200
To be honest, we…

22:29.919 --> 22:31.320
We can't afford it.

22:31.399 --> 22:34.080
Our realms keep losing
at the Qingyun Tournament,

22:34.159 --> 22:35.240
and we've been living in hardship.

22:35.760 --> 22:37.679
If your brother hadn't
gifted us artifacts two years ago,

22:37.760 --> 22:40.720
we probably wouldn't have
even qualified for the warrior selection.

22:41.360 --> 22:42.240
That's true.

22:44.800 --> 22:46.280
Since you're Chen Xi's friends,

22:46.360 --> 22:47.720
you're my friends too.

22:47.800 --> 22:49.560
I'll buy this dagger for you.

22:50.159 --> 22:52.560
Thank you for your kindness,
but that won't be necessary.

22:52.639 --> 22:54.800
Once we finish our work and get paid,

22:54.879 --> 22:56.320
we'll buy one ourselves.

22:56.399 --> 22:57.480
Then let me help you.

22:57.560 --> 22:58.600
-No…
-No need.

22:58.679 --> 22:59.639
That won't do.

23:00.159 --> 23:01.879
You'll dirty your clothes.

23:01.960 --> 23:03.240
Don't worry about that.

23:03.320 --> 23:04.240
With the Blessed Rain
unevenly distributed,

23:04.320 --> 23:06.159
it's hard for the Lower Realms to rise up.

23:06.240 --> 23:08.520
The Six Realms should help each other out.

23:11.520 --> 23:12.439
Come.

23:12.520 --> 23:14.320
We'll get the work done in no time.

23:14.399 --> 23:15.840
Once we're done, food's on me.

23:41.320 --> 23:42.720
Still thinking

23:43.760 --> 23:45.760
about the warriors
from Mangfu Swamp and Cangwu Hill?

23:48.240 --> 23:49.120
Yes.

23:51.080 --> 23:52.520
When I was at Yaoguang Mountain,

23:53.480 --> 23:54.439
I had no idea

23:54.960 --> 23:56.639
that in the Lower Realms,

23:56.720 --> 23:58.800
even the warriors struggled so much.

24:00.040 --> 24:02.200
How hard life must be for ordinary people.

24:05.120 --> 24:07.840
Where there are victors,
there must also be losers.

24:09.520 --> 24:11.520
The Qingyun Tournament may seem fair,

24:11.600 --> 24:14.840
but in reality,
it creates a vicious cycle.

24:15.520 --> 24:17.600
The Lower Three Realms lack Blessed Rain

24:18.280 --> 24:19.639
and suffer from a loss of talent.

24:20.879 --> 24:21.840
As time goes on,

24:22.520 --> 24:24.240
the gap just keeps growing wider,

24:25.360 --> 24:27.200
and the beings in those realms

24:27.760 --> 24:29.200
sink deeper into hardship.

24:30.080 --> 24:31.320
The strong keep getting stronger.

24:32.639 --> 24:36.639
Whether Jixing Abyss or Yaoguang Mountain
takes first place,

24:37.240 --> 24:39.280
it won't change the situation.

24:39.800 --> 24:42.639
If only the rules
of the Qingyun Tournament

24:42.720 --> 24:44.879
could be changed someday

24:45.480 --> 24:48.200
and the Blessed Rain
could be shared equally

24:49.040 --> 24:50.120
among all Six Realms.

24:55.000 --> 24:56.360
Why are you smiling?

24:57.800 --> 25:00.000
I know, human nature is fickle.

25:00.080 --> 25:01.480
Maybe I'll change my mind one day.

25:02.159 --> 25:05.080
I'm being too idealistic.

25:06.840 --> 25:07.919
I'm smiling because we,

25:08.639 --> 25:11.040
who once fought against
each other at the Qingyun Tournament,

25:11.679 --> 25:13.159
are now having this conversation.

25:16.879 --> 25:18.280
But you're right.

25:19.439 --> 25:20.439
If we don't dream,

25:21.679 --> 25:23.600
that day will never come.

25:33.040 --> 25:35.439
In truth, the beings
of the Lower Three Realms

25:37.040 --> 25:39.280
don't care who wins first place at all.

25:40.600 --> 25:42.480
All they want is the Blessed Rain,

25:43.080 --> 25:45.199
enough to eat, and clothes

25:45.800 --> 25:47.000
to keep warm.

25:49.399 --> 25:50.360
When I was in the Sunken Abyss,

25:51.879 --> 25:53.879
I saw countless people who wanted to live

25:54.960 --> 25:57.199
but had to bend their souls for survival.

25:59.280 --> 26:00.679
It wasn't their fault.

26:02.360 --> 26:03.679
They just wanted

26:05.480 --> 26:07.120
to live too badly.

26:15.720 --> 26:17.720
You've gone through so much in the past.

26:26.000 --> 26:26.840
Thank you

26:28.800 --> 26:31.280
for holding on and surviving,

26:31.360 --> 26:33.840
or I wouldn't have met you now.

26:38.040 --> 26:40.280
You once said you had
a mark on your forehead.

26:56.600 --> 26:57.639
I think

26:58.439 --> 27:00.480
my mother planted it there

27:00.560 --> 27:01.560
when I was still an infant.

27:03.040 --> 27:07.280
It holds some vague memories of her.

27:10.120 --> 27:11.960
I can't see her face clearly,

27:13.679 --> 27:15.080
but she told me

27:15.760 --> 27:17.000
this mark

27:17.879 --> 27:19.600
was formed from her blood and mine.

27:21.800 --> 27:23.639
Haven't you ever thought
about looking for her?

27:23.720 --> 27:25.320
Of course I have.

27:27.960 --> 27:29.679
When I was in the Sunken Abyss,

27:30.480 --> 27:32.120
I imagined countless times

27:32.639 --> 27:33.800
that they'd come looking for me.

27:35.000 --> 27:36.120
But perhaps

27:38.159 --> 27:39.520
they are no longer alive.

27:44.000 --> 27:45.800
It doesn't matter anymore.

27:46.600 --> 27:47.919
What matters

27:48.600 --> 27:52.480
is that I had my master
who saved me and guided me.

27:53.120 --> 27:55.040
I have Buxiu who respects me

27:55.560 --> 27:57.439
and Granny Xun who cares for me.

28:02.040 --> 28:02.919
And then there is you.

28:05.360 --> 28:06.679
What about me?

28:13.040 --> 28:13.879
You lied to me.

28:17.320 --> 28:18.360
Ji Bozai, I…

28:18.439 --> 28:20.040
I'll give you one more chance to say it.

28:29.120 --> 28:30.080
You love me.

28:59.679 --> 29:01.600
TEA GATHERING OF QINGYUN TOURNAMENT

29:01.679 --> 29:03.240
We are going all in the fights anyway.

29:03.959 --> 29:04.959
-Yes.
-Right.

29:05.560 --> 29:06.919
All set.

29:07.000 --> 29:08.399
I should be fine.

29:14.600 --> 29:15.959
The first event of the tea gathering

29:16.040 --> 29:17.720
is tomorrow's spiritual power test.

29:18.280 --> 29:21.399
The spiritual power stone will assess

29:21.480 --> 29:22.800
each warrior's spiritual power level

29:22.879 --> 29:24.399
so the others can adjust
their strategies accordingly.

29:25.800 --> 29:28.000
But doesn't that mean
exposing one's own strength?

29:28.520 --> 29:30.120
Yes, and no.

29:31.000 --> 29:32.120
First up,

29:32.720 --> 29:34.199
a warrior from Flowing Wave Gorge.

29:35.959 --> 29:37.840
The Qingyun Tournament is fought in teams.

29:38.480 --> 29:41.280
Within each team, there are naturally
warriors of varying strength.

29:41.360 --> 29:43.399
Those with greater power
can choose to conceal it

29:43.480 --> 29:44.760
and act

29:45.399 --> 29:46.959
as hidden trump cards
during the actual match.

29:50.399 --> 29:51.560
What if

29:52.399 --> 29:54.080
everyone hides their strength?

29:54.840 --> 29:58.240
Those who do are usually evenly matched
and rely on surprise tactics

29:58.320 --> 29:59.560
to win.

29:59.639 --> 30:03.159
But like Yaoguang Mountain
in the past, Zhushui Spiritual State

30:03.240 --> 30:04.399
doesn't bother with that.

30:04.480 --> 30:06.639
They send out their strongest warriors

30:06.720 --> 30:07.639
to display their power

30:08.159 --> 30:10.560
and crush the opponents' will
before the fight even begins.

30:11.879 --> 30:14.879
Next, a fighter
from Zhushui Spiritual State.

30:14.959 --> 30:18.480
CHAO YAN, FOURTH PRINCE OF ZHUSHUI

30:33.120 --> 30:34.199
-Impressive.
-Yes.

30:43.159 --> 30:44.159
Indeed.

30:44.240 --> 30:46.120
When Jixing Abyss
was still one of the Lower Realms,

30:46.199 --> 30:48.959
our warriors, after seeing the strength
of Yaoguang Mountain's warriors

30:49.040 --> 30:51.199
at the tea gathering, would expect defeat

30:51.280 --> 30:52.560
before the fight even began.

30:52.639 --> 30:54.360
Now, a warrior from Jixing Abyss.

31:07.280 --> 31:08.679
He looks like a fool,

31:08.760 --> 31:10.040
but his spiritual power
is surprisingly strong.

31:10.120 --> 31:11.280
-Exactly.
-Right.

31:14.320 --> 31:16.280
That's the warrior
without spiritual veins, right?

31:16.360 --> 31:17.800
What's so special about him…

31:17.879 --> 31:18.600
That he gets to join
the Qingyun Tournament?

31:18.679 --> 31:19.879
-I wonder.
-Indeed.

31:20.399 --> 31:22.720
I heard he had exceptional healing skills.

31:23.240 --> 31:25.800
The Empress of Jixing
really does have an eye for talent.

31:25.879 --> 31:28.520
True, or she never would've
discovered Ji Bozai.

31:41.879 --> 31:43.159
That kid's impressive.

31:43.240 --> 31:44.280
Yes.

31:44.360 --> 31:45.520
-He's got real potential.
-He reminds me of Ming Xian

31:45.600 --> 31:46.560
back in the day.

31:46.639 --> 31:47.520
Indeed.

31:48.959 --> 31:50.320
I'm confident.

31:51.520 --> 31:52.520
We've got Immortal Ji

31:52.600 --> 31:55.480
and Master Ming Yi,
who can forge all kinds of artifacts.

31:56.560 --> 31:57.760
Even so, don't get cocky.

31:58.439 --> 32:00.520
Overconfidence leads to defeat.
Remember that.

32:29.439 --> 32:30.280
Oh my.

32:30.360 --> 32:31.800
-He's incredible.
-Yes.

32:31.879 --> 32:32.879
-Remarkable indeed.
-Impressive!

32:32.959 --> 32:34.360
-Amazing!
-Wonderful!

32:34.959 --> 32:35.800
-Excellent!
-Impressive!

32:36.320 --> 32:37.600
So impressive.

32:37.679 --> 32:38.600
As expected of Immortal Ji!

32:38.679 --> 32:40.199
True.

32:40.280 --> 32:42.360
-Impressive!
-Immortal Ji is indeed remarkable.

32:42.439 --> 32:44.480
Whoever faces him is doomed.

32:45.480 --> 32:47.639
The Crown Prince
of Yaoguang Mountain is here!

33:02.080 --> 33:03.600
Greetings, Your Highness.

33:05.439 --> 33:06.320
Now that Ming Xin is the Crown Prince,

33:06.399 --> 33:07.520
he sure makes quite an entrance.

33:07.600 --> 33:09.120
-Right.
-Yeah, no kidding.

33:09.199 --> 33:10.040
What's he showing off for?

33:10.120 --> 33:11.560
He lost miserably last year.

33:12.760 --> 33:16.159
He's been competing for years,
but his strength is just average.

33:16.240 --> 33:17.439
Exactly.

33:38.679 --> 33:39.520
-Wow.
-Impressive.

33:39.600 --> 33:41.520
-Amazing, Your Highness!
-Truly incredible.

33:41.600 --> 33:42.679
-That was impressive.
-Yes.

33:42.760 --> 33:43.600
Such power!

33:43.679 --> 33:45.159
What kind of elixir
did he take to get that strong?

33:45.240 --> 33:46.840
-Right.
-Oh my.

33:47.360 --> 33:48.199
Unbelievable!

33:48.280 --> 33:50.360
Ming Xin is about to reach
the Transcendent Stage?

33:50.879 --> 33:51.879
How is that possible?

33:52.399 --> 33:54.240
Even his mother, Lady Meng, once said

33:54.320 --> 33:56.560
he didn't have the talent
to reach such a level.

33:56.639 --> 33:57.879
Perhaps

33:58.840 --> 34:00.360
someone's helping him.

34:31.120 --> 34:34.199
Ming Xin acted strangely
at the tea gathering.

34:34.799 --> 34:36.920
It seems he has
already realized who you are.

34:38.520 --> 34:40.920
From the way
he looked at me, I think he has.

34:41.440 --> 34:42.839
But right now, what matters most

34:42.920 --> 34:44.719
is the travelers' competition tonight.

34:44.799 --> 34:47.600
I must win the black lingzhi mushroom
to bring Twenty-Seven back.

34:47.679 --> 34:48.679
Due to the rules,

34:49.199 --> 34:50.799
as a warrior, I can't compete,

34:51.920 --> 34:53.360
and you shouldn't show yourself either,

34:53.440 --> 34:55.159
or Ming Xin might get suspicious.

34:55.679 --> 34:58.520
So, I want to ask Buxiu to help.

35:00.839 --> 35:02.960
So, the great Warrior Goddess
already has a plan?

35:03.839 --> 35:04.960
In that case,

35:06.120 --> 35:08.120
let's restore our heart imprints first.

35:08.640 --> 35:10.920
If Ming Xin makes a move
and you're in danger,

35:11.000 --> 35:11.839
I'll be able to reach you in time.

35:15.000 --> 35:16.759
You drive a hard bargain, don't you?

35:19.680 --> 35:22.080
Ming Yi, what happened to your hand?

35:23.720 --> 35:24.920
Nothing.

35:26.720 --> 35:28.759
Either way, we should restore
our heart imprints.

35:35.759 --> 35:38.200
You're just taking advantage
of the fact that our names are still

35:38.279 --> 35:39.839
on the Marriage Stone.
Did I agree to do this?

35:39.920 --> 35:41.759
So what if you didn't?
I got what I wanted.

35:43.960 --> 35:44.799
Smarty-pants.

36:01.040 --> 36:01.960
Oh my goodness.

36:02.040 --> 36:03.920
-Incredible!
-How many has he beaten now?

36:08.960 --> 36:11.560
This immortal has already defeated

36:11.640 --> 36:13.759
725 opponents

36:14.279 --> 36:15.440
without a single loss.

36:15.520 --> 36:16.360
That many?

36:16.440 --> 36:17.440
Does anyone else want to challenge him?

36:17.520 --> 36:18.720
That's sick!

36:18.799 --> 36:19.720
Anyone?

36:19.799 --> 36:21.799
-Anyone?
-If no one can defeat him,

36:21.880 --> 36:24.680
the prize will go to this immortal.

36:42.240 --> 36:44.560
I'll be taking it, then.

36:44.640 --> 36:45.480
Please.

37:00.600 --> 37:02.240
-Where did they go?
-They vanished!

37:02.319 --> 37:03.720
The black lingzhi mushroom is gone too!

37:03.799 --> 37:05.240
-Really! I saw it.
-It's gone!

37:05.319 --> 37:06.920
-It's really gone!
-The black lingzhi mushroom is gone too!

37:07.000 --> 37:08.080
Yeah, what happened?

37:10.359 --> 37:11.880
Just as Your Lordship
and Fairy Ming Yi predicted,

37:11.960 --> 37:13.240
the lingzhi mushroom disappeared.

37:14.120 --> 37:16.000
Someone attacked, and Ming Yi was taken.

37:16.080 --> 37:17.120
It must have been Ming Xin.

37:18.880 --> 37:20.839
Your Lordship,
aren't you going to do anything?

37:21.600 --> 37:22.720
She can handle it.

37:24.400 --> 37:25.440
I have faith in her.

37:39.040 --> 37:40.359
Ming Xian.

37:41.880 --> 37:43.680
For your cat to come back to life,

37:43.759 --> 37:45.080
you'll need a black lingzhi mushroom.

37:45.880 --> 37:47.640
I knew you'd bite the hook

37:47.720 --> 37:49.520
with this as the bait.

37:50.040 --> 37:51.240
Let's see

37:52.160 --> 37:53.960
if you have what it takes
to snatch it from me.

37:58.520 --> 38:00.880
Back then, you were obsessed
with forbidden arts

38:00.960 --> 38:02.759
and drew countless designs
for magical artifacts.

38:03.960 --> 38:06.359
When the Empress found out,
she confiscated them.

38:07.600 --> 38:09.120
Now that I've gone through them,

38:11.000 --> 38:13.080
I must say, they're quite useful.

38:14.640 --> 38:18.120
Perfect for dealing with you,

38:18.200 --> 38:19.319
Ming Xian.

38:26.200 --> 38:29.160
What's that supposed to mean?

38:29.240 --> 38:33.200
Trying to make me think
my mother is behind all this?

38:33.720 --> 38:36.400
You think such cheap tricks
would work on me?

38:37.000 --> 38:39.640
Of course, the Empress wouldn't harm you.

38:40.839 --> 38:43.680
You're her most useful pawn.

38:47.400 --> 38:50.680
What dark spell did she use back then

38:51.200 --> 38:53.279
to turn you into a man?

38:53.359 --> 38:54.839
Even your face

38:56.400 --> 38:58.279
looked completely different.

39:01.359 --> 39:04.880
The Crown Prince of Yaoguang,
whom I hated for so many years,

39:05.600 --> 39:07.759
turns out to be a woman.

39:08.960 --> 39:10.480
How revolting.

39:22.279 --> 39:23.960
It's a pity you don't know

39:24.720 --> 39:27.319
how I gave you the Heavenly Grief.

39:28.279 --> 39:32.920
I slipped it into the scallion pancake

39:33.440 --> 39:38.120
the Empress herself made for you
before the Qingyun Tournament.

39:44.279 --> 39:45.880
You're insane!

39:47.040 --> 39:49.319
How dare you show up at the tea gathering

39:49.400 --> 39:52.080
with people from Jixing Abyss, our enemy?

39:52.880 --> 39:54.720
Once I bring you to that person…

40:08.520 --> 40:10.120
Spiritual power
from Zhushui Spiritual State?

40:10.640 --> 40:12.200
Did the Emperor of Zhushui give it to you?

40:12.720 --> 40:15.359
No wonder your power surged
at the tea gathering.

40:17.040 --> 40:18.440
Who are you taking me to?

40:18.520 --> 40:19.400
The Emperor of Zhushui?

40:20.000 --> 40:21.440
So you were faking it all along!
e tea gathering.
