ADAPTED FROM THE WEBCOMIC YI REN ZHI XIA

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

ALL ACTIONS AND ABILITIES PERFORMED SHOULD NOT BE IMITATED

Everything is related to karma and destiny.

Follow me

if you two wish to know the truth.

It has been almost 80 years.

Where are we?

Back then,

we invented the Eight Supremes here.

I tried all kinds of methods

to return to this place

after escaping from the Lyu family.

However, I couldn't achieve my goal.

Is this the legendary Valley of 24 Terms?

Thank you for helping me

to return to this place.

You invented Double Quan Palm here,

yet you couldn't enter this place by yourself.

The Valley of 24 Terms

isn't as simple as you think.

This is another dimension.

This place

is the true Outsiders' world.

It's the origin of all superpowers.

A power is flowing subtly in this world.

It guides the blood circulation

of all living beings here,

allowing humans to harness superpowers.

The Valley of 24 Terms

transcends time.

It influences your present,

past,

and future.

What a shame.

I've tried all kinds of methods all these years,

yet I could only wander around the edge of the Outsiders' world.

It seems like the energy flow has become stagnant.

That's why this body could not grow.

I cannot enter the Valley of 24 Terms

with my powers alone.

I never expected you guys

to bring me back here one day.

Why did you have to come back?

Back then,

me,

Gensheng,

Dummy, and the rest,

the nine of us

stayed in the Valley of 24 Terms together.

We were isolated from the world

as we sought enlightenment together.

We were focused on finding our own paths.

The kind of camaraderie,

happiness,

and wholeness we experienced here,

it's something you would never understand

if you didn't experience it yourself.

Double Quan Palm wouldn't have existed

if it weren't for this place.

Do you know what it feels like

when you achieve enlightenment?

It feels like

you can decide your own fate.

It felt as if you were one with the world.

You could feel the rhythm of the world.

It felt as if the world was dancing for you.

So, my grandfather invented

Qi Apotheosis here.

Fate has brought us together.

It has been so long since I was this happy.

But what is Qi Apotheosis?

I don't know.

Everyone has a different way of achieving enlightenment.

The Eight Supremes

are more than just powerful superpowers.

More importantly,

it's a sign of mastery of the world.

It's a sign of mastery toward your fate.

Maybe you'll understand this one day

and will be enlightened.

Maybe you won't be able to achieve enlightenment.

Dummy didn't impart his supreme to you?

What a shame.

What about you?

What do you plan to do next?

I ended up becoming the person Lyu Huan hated the most.

I wish to return to the time

when Lyu Huan and I were still together.

I want to be my true self.

I want to be the good brother in Lyu Huan's heart.

I've hurt so many people

and committed so many evil deeds.

I've decided to turn myself in to NDT.

Zhang Chulan,

you mustn't follow in my footsteps.

You must protect the person who means the most to you.

Protect Feng Baobao.

Go now.

LYU LIANG WAS SEVERELY PUNISHED BY NDT FOR VIOLATING THE OUTSIDER REGULATIONS

BUT DUE TO HIS GOOD BEHAVIOR AND HIS ATTEMPT TO ATONE

HE WAS GRANTED A SENTENCE REDUCTION.

IN CONSIDERATION OF THE NATURE OF THE CRIME AND HIS BEHAVIOR,

INDIVIDUALS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LYU FAMILY

HAVE BEEN CHARGED UNLAWFUL DETENTION

AND INTENTIONAL HARM AGAINST DUANMU YING,

WARRANTING SEVERE PUNISHMENT.

NDT IMPOSED STRICT PENALTIES ON THE INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED.

Is this me?

It's you.

I...

I look very happy.

Gensheng carved this.

Your father was known for his peerless elegance back then.

He loved you very much.

However, you were caught in an accident.

Back then, he gathered the eight of us and returned to the Valley of 24 Terms

to save you.

Each of the Eight Supremes has its own strengths.

We could only rescue you

with the power of all eight individuals.

That was the only way

we could revive the original you.

However, you didn't show up.

I did want to show up.

Yet the Lyu family detained me.

I was responsible

for awakening Feng Baobao's memories with my Double Quan Palm.

It's a shame that...

I will return

what I owed you last time.

Where are Ms. Bao's memories?

Back then,

they only managed to awaken your body.

Your memories

were kept in this cave all these years.

Baobao, extend your hand.

Father.

Baobao, come.

I brought you something nice.

You'll definitely like it.

Father, you're the best.

The scattering qi

isn't coming into contact with the qi formation.

I can only maintain it for a while.

Baobao,

I will return everything to you.

Your family,

your past,

everything you desire,

they're all here.

Follow me.

Ms. Bao, don't trust her yet.

She was the one who killed Xu Huan.

Zhang Chulan,

we've been through so much together

and we got to know so many people.

Everyone has their own past

and their families.

You have your grandfather too.

Although he has passed away,

at least he's still in your memories.

I saw that man

on the train just now.

I saw him

shedding tears for me.

However, I don't know who he is.

I want to know him.

I want to know

how my father used to dote on me.

I will cast the qi formation now.

Step back.

Don't disturb me when I'm restoring her memories.

Back then,

the eight of them

stood here

and revived you

while I was imprisoned in the Lyu family's cellar.

They tortured me through and through.

I was like a living corpse.

Even so, I believed

that my best buddies would come and save me.

However,

they didn't.

I was so naive.

I was too naive!

Feng Baobao, when I saw you,

I understood that they didn't care about me at all!

This world is filled with malicious intent!

This body of yours

houses the power of the Eight Supremes.

Only I deserve to possess it!

You have no idea

about the true power of the Eight Supremes.

Once I get my hands on it,

I will be invincible!

Duanmu Ying, what are you doing?

Duanmu Ying,

what are you doing?

How can I implant my memories into her mind

without extracting hers in the first place?

Dummy's grandson,

I'll show you!

Ms. Bao.

Duanmu Ying,

stop!

The qi barrier reflects my attack.

You better stop right now!

This qi formation is formed with the power of the Eight Supremes.

Even Zhang Zhiwei couldn't dispel it!

Zhang Chulan,

from now on,

you're my slave.

Zhang Chulan,

you should follow me back.

Follow me. I'll make you happy.

Doesn't it hurt when you hit yourself like that?

Tell me then.

What should I do?

You shouldn't hit yourself.

You should find those who hurt you

and hit them instead.

Zhang Chulan, you don't need to fear him.

You no longer need to hide or escape once you become my slave.

If you don't want to live like a loser, you should stand up.

From now on, live like a decent human being.

Crush all those who trouble you.

I've got your back.

Zhang Chulan, from now on,

you're my slave.

Yes, Ms. Bao.

I am now your slave. Feel free to use me.

Boss me around.

Come on. Light up the path ahead for your master.

Roger that,

Master.

Ms. Bao! I'm sorry!

Ms. Bao! No, Ms. Bao!

Ms. Bao! Please don't kill me!

Ms. Bao!

Come back.

I know that I might die here

if I keep this up.

However, if I don't keep this up,

I'll lose all of my dignity here.

Feng Baobao,

this master-servant game is over.

I said, come back!

I messed up.

I'm sorry. I apologize, Zhang Chulan.

Ms. Bao.

Why didn't you dodge it?

You told me to stand here.

Ms. Bao, wake up!

I won't run away again.

I'll be your obedient servant from now on.

Baobao!

Baobao, what's wrong with you?

I don't know either.

Zhang Chulan,

I wish to go home too.

You have it.

All of you have it.

It's in here.

Ms. Bao.

I will help you find the truth.

I will find your home.

Feng Baobao,

I would like

to ask you for a favor.

When I'm gone,

please protect Chulan on my behalf.

Is that all right?

I can do you this favor.

He's only ten.

Don't tell me

you're going to look after him

and wait until the end of time?

His grandfather is right.

I have plenty of time.

I can afford to wait.

Feng Baobao,

If possible,

don't let him know about your presence.

Don't move or I'll hit you.

So...

So you were by my side all along.

You were always there with me.

No!

Ms. Bao...

I'm sorry.

What do you think about Zhang Chulan?

All humans are the same.

Zhang Chulan.

The innocent carries the guilt of the guilty.

Zhang Chulan, you shouldn't stand up again.

Zhang Chulan is a rising star.

How do you plan to pursue luck and avoid danger?

The Tao follows nature.

Which course should you follow?

Chulan.

No matter what difficulties you face, you must hang in there.

Don't despair.

For those of us who practice Taoism, we emphasize thinking.

But above all, we emphasize on doing.

The purpose of life

is not necessarily to please others.

Only those with pure hearts

who wish to protect all Outsiders

will be truly acknowledged by everyone.

Zhang Chulan, you're shameless!

When you absorb the power of the world

into your own body

and return it to the world generously

using your own way,

that's the definition of superpower.

People can do all sorts of things under the banner of self-interest.

Then I will stop them.

There are so many of them. How can you stop them all?

I will give my life for it.

Am I truly going to die

and become a part of this starry universe?

But I think I can still hear everyone's voices.

Zhang Chulan.

Just like the universe and the stars,

I was already one with everyone long ago.

I had no way of letting you guys go long ago.

Qi Apotheosis?

I'm just a nobody.

I can't protect the entire world.

I just wish to protect

the person I wish to protect.

Karma,

fate,

all of you think

that you can enjoy all the best things in life.

I don't believe it!

I've already lost Lyu Huan.

You can't afford to lose Feng Baobao now.

I just want the person in front of me.

That's my only desire!

In the beginning, too profound;

without form or shape.

No one knows what's heavy or light;

who can distinguish clear from dim?

I, in the chaos,

distinguish between darkness and light.

Heaven thrives,

and Earth finds peace.

The people are nurtured,

and creatures begin to flourish.

Within the Three Forces,

all kinds thrive.

Throughout the Four Seas,

the Way is known to all.

Man follows the Earth,

the Earth follows the Heavens,

the Heavens follow the Tao,

and the Tao follows nature.

The endpoint of all qi techniques

is Qi Apotheosis.

Ms. Bao!

That's all there is to life.

Stop pretending that you've suffered and are trying to be enlightened!

The only enlightenment is the path ahead of you!

You look left and right

on the path ahead

all because you're afraid of death.

Can you see the people waiting for you on the path ahead?

Ms. Bao, you've protected me for so many years.

Now, it's my turn to protect you!

The endpoint of all qi techniques

is the companions you make along the way.

Thank you guys so much.

LONG LIVE TAOISM

LONG LIVE TAOISM

LONG LIVE TAOISM

Xu San, let me tell you.

Eat up. If not, you'll starve at night.

This is so spicy.

I already told them to make it less spicy.

Xu San, Xu Si,

why did you guys have a hotpot without me?

Xu San, let's have a toast.

Xu Si,

how long have I been asleep?

Three days?

Three months? Or three years?

Xu San, I'm not dead, am I?

It's so spicy.

Xu San,

once we're done eating,

let's go and pay respect

to Zhang Chulan.

-Should we prepare some offerings then? -I don't think it's a big deal.

Xu Si, that's unnecessary!

I'm here! Look at me!

Xu San, Xu Si.

All of them have arrived.

We'll depart now to accomplish our mission.

You're awake.

THREE MONTHS LATER

Ms. Bao, are you happy to see me awake?

Yes. I can finally do some useful stuff instead of taking care of you.

What do you mean?

Baobao took care of you for the past three months.

If so, why is she being so cold to me?

Didn't you see it for yourself

when Duanmu Ying extracted her memories and destroyed them?

Ms. Bao, I'm Zhang Chulan.

I'm Lian! I'm your slave!

Ms. Bao, that's fine.

It's fine, even if you've forgotten about me.

We have plenty of time to know each other again.

I'm Zhang Chulan.

I'm a final-year student at Xinpukai University.

I was once your little brother.

I was once your slave too.

Be my follower, then.

I need a slave anyway.

Let's go. Time to work.

Why are you still standing here? Let's go.

You can do it while walking.

What are you guys doing here?

Lian,

you did sleep for a long time, huh?

I've finally met someone lazier than me.

What are you doing?

Do you guys know each other?

We know each other too well.

If so, I'll skip the introduction.

This is the slave I just took in.

You guys better treat him nicely in the future.

It's getting late.

Let's go!

Let's go?

In the end, Ms. Bao was the luckiest one

because she forgot everything.

That was the best ending.

Everyone came to this world

as a seed.

They will grow up

and take their own paths eventually.

However, if you're in trouble,

I'll help you out.

The paths that everyone is taking might be difficult

or tough.

Lyu Huan.

It might be a happy one

or a sad one.

Grandpa Zizhong,

I'm so sorry.

The winner is

Feng Shayan.

I decide what I'm worth.

We've experienced all kinds of things.

However, we didn't give up.

We still move forward with determination.

Everyone is unique in their own way.

Everyone may be different,

but we possess the same courage and strength.

We grow and love.

Cultivation isn't about the past.

It's about the present.

That's why it doesn't matter

if Ms. Bao remembers the past or not.

It's enough as long as

we can watch over each other.

NDT EXPRESS

Get in.

Ms. Bao, what kind of urgent mission is this?

We don't even have time to eat.

We have no time. They're in trouble.

They? Ms. Bao, who are they?

Make yourself clear.

Everyone.

Who do you mean?

You, me,

Xu San, Xu Si,

Wang Ye, Zhuge Qing, Zhang Lingyu.

Everyone.

What happened?

Your Qi Apotheosis

has disrupted the entire Outsiders' world.

We are

running out of time.

That's all for our story at the moment.

One part of the secret

behind the Jiashen Calamity has been revealed.

However, it's far from over.

Our young Outsiders

will embark on a new journey soon.

I'm coming.

Here's your parcel. Please sign here.

Wait.

You look so similar.

The resemblance is uncanny.

You look exactly the same as the female lead I drew.

SALUTE TO ALL THE STAFF

WHO HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY FOR THIS PRODUCTION
