[Episode 36]

♪Maybe I'm just your firefly♪

♪That's why I'm so fragile♪

♪In this world, there's too much♪

♪Cause and effect of love and hate surging♪

♪Would you be willing to stay for me?♪

♪If your night is cold, with no warmth of the sun♪

♪Put my burning heart in your chest♪

♪Even in this restless world♪

♪My faint light...♪

It's beautiful here.

So beautiful.

♪If your world was once an endless wasteland♪

♪I'd tear myself apart...♪

I wish time

could stop at this precious moment.

Yet,

it's time to wake up.

♪In this fleeting life, I'll still be your light...♪

Is my dream not beautiful to you?

Why do you want to wake up?

Because I have family and friends,

and all lives of the Six Realms

need us to seal the Sky-Swallowing Array.

Who are you?

I am the ruler of the netherbeast army from Cangwu Hill.

Lin Ziyao.

I've finally found someone

who is truly willing to sacrifice for the Six Realms.

You are the Spiritual Veins Fairy

who caused the Netherbeast Calamity a hundred years ago.

Yes.

I used a spell to hide the last trace of my divine consciousness

inside this Sky-Swallowing Array.

I have long waited for someone from a later time to meet me here.

Fairy Lin,

what exactly happened back then?

The Netherbeast Calamity a century ago

was not my doing.

Let me tell you the truth.

A hundred years ago,

the Emperor of Zhushui bred netherbeasts

to rule over the Six Realms.

But he knew that refining them

would damage his primordial spirit.

Hence, he used love as bait

and tricked me into raising the netherbeasts

at Cangwu Hill.

When I discovered his plot to destroy the world,

I tried to stop him, and failed.

He ended up imprisoning me.

While I was imprisoned, the Emperor of Zhushui

released the netherbeasts to wreak havoc.

Countless lives across the Six Realms perished

and war spread once again.

To the outside world,

he pretended to have destroyed the netherbeasts

and acted like a savior.

To truly end the disaster,

I had to trick him

into performing the Heartbond Array with me

to subdue the netherbeasts.

But he had planned ahead.

He used me as a tribute

and forged the ancient forbidden spell,

the Sky-Swallowing Array.

He set the Sky-Swallowing Array

inside the Zhuojin Tower.

He planned to activate it during the Qingyun Tournament,

to seize the source of spiritual power from the Nine Heavens,

and consume all the Blessed Rain

so he could control the Six Realms.

The Sky-Swallowing Array must be cultivated for a century.

It required someone from the Bo clan

who possessed the special spiritual veins

born from Heavenly Grief and the Golden Millet Dream

to truly unlock it.

You had already passed away,

but with your spiritual power

you sealed the last of your divine consciousness

inside the Sky-Swallowing Array,

all to stop the Emperor of Zhushui.

Correct.

Only those who are willing to sacrifice themselves

and offer their lives as tribute

can see me.

Only then do we have a chance to save the Six Realms of Hexu.

Fairy Lin,

did you know the Emperor of Zhushui

blamed everything on you?

He claimed that you raised netherbeasts and brought chaos.

Every Spiritual Veins Fairy after you

was seen as a bad omen.

I never imagined

that I would become

the excuse to condemn the fairies of the future.

How ridiculous.

To seal the Sky-Swallowing Array,

someone at the Transcendent Stage

must die to destroy it.

You are both at the Transcendent Stage.

Luckily, you entered the array together.

Your divine consciousness is connected,

and, most importantly, your hearts are in sync.

You trust each other.

I have a plan.

With the last of my spiritual power,

I can merge your spiritual veins.

That will grant you the strength of the Perfected Stage.

You may escape safely and destroy

the Sky-Swallowing Array.

You must protect the Six Realms

and change everything.

We will not fail you.

The Six Realms

will finally have the justice they deserve.

The peace of the Six Realms

will be in your hands now, younglings.

Ming Yi, you're alive!

What have you done?

Chao Yuan.

Everything the Zhushui Spiritual State has done

must come to an end today.

Impossible.

None of you will ever defeat me.

No one in this world

will ever surpass me again!

My loyal soul shall live and die with you.

My loyal soul shall live and die with you.

Bear witness! We guard the Primordial Realm.

What is happening?

No idea.

Wake up!

What's going on?

Ming Yi.

I remember now.

My life has never had any real worth.

But back then,

I met you.

Do you think I could ever be like you?

My whole life feels like a joke.

Ming Yi.

Do you still remember our promise?

Immortal Situ.

In the end, I was the one who owed you.

Ming Yi, promise me one thing.

I haven't decided yet.

But whatever it is I ask for,

you'll make it happen for me, won't you?

Right?

I've decided.

In the next life,

let's meet again and start over.

I hope that in your next life, you'll live for yourself.

The Emperor of Zhushui, Chao Heng, and Crown Prince Chao Yuan

attempted to control the Six Realms during the Qingyun Tournament

by manipulating the Sky-Swallowing Array.

Their crimes were unforgivable.

Both have met their end.

This announcement is made to Hexu to set the record straight.

[Chao Heng of Zhushui Spiritual State]

The Sunken Abyss is gone.

We stopped Zhushui Spiritual State's plot.

As for Chao Heng,

he was overthrown by the traitors.

In future Qingyun Tournaments,

the title of the top warrior of the Six Realms

will be decided with only fairness.

From now on, the Six Realms' Blessed Rain will be shared equally

between the Upper and Lower Realms.

Fairy Bo.

The truth is, the debt between us can never really be settled.

But I do know that

when you first came to find me,

you truly wanted to save me.

And I also know

that you taught me with everything you had.

You protected me with your own life,

so I could cure the poison,

and live safely until today,

and see for myself

what this world is really like.

So, you see,

I have no right to hate you.

Whether you did it to atone for your sins,

or out of kindness and loyalty,

either way,

I could never repay you.

From this moment on,

you may rest in peace.

Under the proposal of Empress Tianji of Jixing Abyss,

the rulers of all realms reached a joint decision.

From now on, the Qingyun Tournament

will have only one final round.

The tests of spiritual power will end once a clear result is shown.

No matter the outcome,

all Six Realms will share the Blessed Rain of the Nine Heavens.

- Great! - Wonderful!

That's wonderful.

Come on, tell us about Ming Yi and Ji Bozai.

Is he still a warrior of Jixing Abyss?

The final match was interrupted.

The rematch is next month.

Does that mean Ming Yi

will face Ji Bozai once more?

- Exactly. - That's right.

That Ji Bozai really is something.

He's carefree and reckless, as always.

When the Emperor of Yaoguang asked what his future plans were,

he said he only wanted

to remain a warrior in the warrior ranks.

The Emperor of Yaoguang was furious about it, of course.

But Ji Bozai told him,

"Your Majesty,

you're still in your prime.

You could always raise another crown prince."

That's exactly what Ji Bozai would say.

Only he could come up

with something like that.

You're telling me.

- Exactly. - Totally.

So, he is living on Yaoguang Mountain,

apart from Ming Yi

who is now at Jixing Abyss?

Ji Bozai still has the Spirit Well.

That's right.

He can bend space itself.

So meeting up isn't a problem at all.

Those two really are quite the pair.

They can fall in love one moment,

then fight side by side the next.

They manage to do both without missing a beat.

Exactly.

I really do wonder

which of the two of them

is the strongest in all Six Realms.

We'll find out next month.

I can't wait to see who will actually win.

Speaking of Ming Yi,

her spiritual veins are said to be the purest and strongest of all.

It's simply peerless.

Why did you catch so few fish?

Next time you go fishing, take me along.

By the way,

where did you catch them?

They taste amazing once they're dried.

You never stop eating or talking.

Shut it.

I was trapped inside that bell for so long,

I couldn't even eat a single dried fish.

Now I just want to make it up to myself, what's wrong with that?

I'll catch you a whole bucket tomorrow.

Are you coming with me?

Of course I am.

The dried fish I eat

has to be handpicked by me.

You'll just catch them for me.

So, who do you think will win?

Ji Bozai or Ming Yi?

That's obvious...

Of course it's Ming Yi, right?

I...

I told you so.

Think about it.

Ming Yi has defeated every opponent across the Six Realms.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Grief,

she would have won.

I wouldn't be so sure.

His Lordship's spiritual veins have recovered.

He also has the Spirit Well.

What about the Spirit Well?

Is it really that powerful?

Can it surpass Ming Yi's extraordinary veins?

Besides, she has that unbeatable companion beast, Twenty-Seven.

Then, stop eating your dried fish.

Fine, I won't.

Their strength is evenly matched, though.

Ming Yi will win for sure.

No, His Lordship will.

Ming Yi will win.

His Lordship will win.

Ming Yi will win.

His Lordship will win.

Ming Yi will win!

Ladies, if there's any jewelry you like, just tell me.

I'll knock a few spirit stones off the price today.

Come and have a look!

Oh my!

You're having twins!

Can you please be more careful?

It's fine.

You've gone from running a stall to owning a shop.

You're earning even more Blessed Rain now,

but that doesn't mean you should get too excited.

I'm not that fragile.

Empress Tianji has issued a decree.

Even non-warriors can enter the Outer Realm.

Ming Yi, Ji Bozai,

Zheng Tiao, and I,

can travel freely now.

Of course I'm happy about it.

My love.

I missed you.

I missed you too.

I'll get back to work.

Take your time.

Ming Yi told me

to keep tomorrow free.

She probably has something planned.

I heard that

Immortal Ji proposed to Fairy Ming Yi several times,

but she turned him down.

So what?

Ming Yi doesn't have to say yes

just because he proposed.

If you ask me,

I wouldn't want to marry either.

Marriage only ties people down.

It makes them soft.

How can you focus on your career that way?

Your Majesty, don't worry.

I'll do everything I can to assist you.

I'll protect Jixing Abyss

and never let you waver even for a moment.

You're surprisingly understanding.

Well then…

Will you do so even without a name or a title?

I think

that's fine with me.

If that day truly comes,

when you become just one butterfly among millions,

no different from the rest,

I would still recognize you.

This wine of yours is quite good.

Fairy Ming Yi,

I brewed it for you with Blessing Flowers.

Really?

You dare to steal my food?

Why are you fighting with a child?

Why are you fighting your brother?

Don't you have your own?

So unfair.

How is that unfair?

Wine!

The cat can't drink that.

Ming Yi.

Zhang Tai!

No.

Careful, the baby.

I forgot.

It's fine.

Sorry.

Happy birthday.

You didn't have to bring a gift.

Zhang Tai chose it carefully.

Didn't you?

Come out quickly.

Stop troubling your mother.

Come play with your brother.

I see now.

So that's why you asked me to keep today free.

It's your birthday.

Empress.

You only prepared one gift?

I'm not the only one celebrating today.

Try it.

But don't eat too much.

I'll accept it on his behalf.

Other than Master Ming Yi,

who else has a birthday today?

Chen Xi.

You're not as quick-witted as I am now.

Where is he?

Of course he's...

Immortal Ji, happy birthday.

Don't move.

- Immortal Ji, Fairy Ming Yi. - Immortal Ji, Fairy Ming Yi.

- Happy birthday. - Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Wishing you good health.

Wait.

What a lively crowd.

You lot of rascals,

you're all behaving outrageously.

How could you drink without inviting me?

Father.

My precious daughter,

happy birthday.

And happy birthday to you too.

Originally,

I had arranged with Emperor Cangwu

to go teach the children to cultivate their spiritual power at his place.

But when I received this invitation

saying it was your birthday banquet,

how could I miss it?

I changed my plans at once

and hurried here.

Next month,

you two will return to

the finals' arena.

You little devil, I'm telling you,

last year my daughter drew Heavenly Grief,

that doesn't count.

This year you must really compete properly.

I'll warn you first,

do not, because of personal feelings,

let him win.

Master She is right.

Don't go easy on me.

Father.

Men won't slow my sword-drawing speed.

That's my precious daughter.

She'll have you picking teeth off the ground.

Someone wants to be my son-in-law?

But it's not that easy.

You must pass my test.

Father,

don't organize it, nobody will drink.

Dare you?

If you dare, come with me.

Come on.

Don't.

This one was brewed by Meng Yangqiu.

Just humor him,

don't show off.

Try it.

It's delicious.

Twenty-Seven.

You've eaten so much and you still eat?

You've taken mine twice.

How did you get this drunk?

With my father's capacity for wine,

no one would've been able to crawl out.

This way.

So then,

he must've gone easy on you.

How much did you drink?

About two jars?

I drank...

How many was that?

Slow down.

No, don't lie here.

Just a few more steps.

Come on.

What do you mean?

A wall.

A whole wall of wine?

A wall of wine, you two…

My father-in-law said he wanted to test my character.

How could I possibly lose?

Of course I had to drink.

You could've shown a bit of weakness, it wouldn't kill you.

What is it?

This is outside, no, that's not good.

Scallion pancake.

This taste…

It was the Empress of Yaoguang who asked me to bring it to you.

She also wanted me to tell you,

happy birthday.

How is she?

She…

His Majesty has already...

already lifted her confinement.

But she still doesn't dare to see you.

In a few days,

I'll go see her.

I've never seen you like this before.

Could you be like this more often?

Like what?

Just show me this side of you sometimes.

A little.

That tickles.

Ming Yi.

Actually…

I…

I…

I still owe you an apology.

I said,

I still owe you an apology.

The Sky-Swallowing Array, right?

Indeed, you shouldn't have hidden it from me.

So what do we do?

But I lied to you before as well.

So I owe you an apology too.

That makes us even.

But we must promise never to deceive each other again.

Never to deceive each other.

What are you doing?

What... What are you doing?

I want to do this.

What?

I want.

You want to do this?

I like this.

I like you.

I've never told you before.

I like you.

I really, truly like you.

I want to be with you,

forever and ever.

I want to stay by your side forever and ever.

Will you…

Will you never,

ever leave me?

All right.

Really?

You... You've accepted my proposal?

Wait.

That just now

was a proposal?

That's all it takes?

Then could we

rewrite our names together on the Marriage Stone?

I... I'm asking you.

I want to rewrite our names on the Marriage Stone...

Why won't you answer me?

I already have.

♪I thought no one lived as freely as I do♪

♪All that calm was only a facade♪

♪Unforgettable love turned out to be a spell♪

♪That made me lose myself♪

What are you doing?

Do you think you can eavesdrop on His Lordship?

You know,

after the Qingyun Tournament ends,

you'll be traveling through the Six Realms.

You won't have another chance to eavesdrop.

Right now, it's your master's

final great trial in life.

Final great trial in life?

Makes sense.

No peeking, kids.

What are you two looking at here?

I...

Go back quickly.

Go back.

Still watching? What's there to see?

Go back.

Hurry back.

Let's go, Granny Xun.

Let's go.

Let's go.

You little brats, I'll deal with you later.

What exactly must we carve on the Marriage Stone

to make sure we aren't punished by the heavens?

Carve Ming Yi and Ming Xian?

That sounds too strange.

I don't want you changing your name back to Ming Xian.

I was jealous of that guy long enough.

Then we can't carve Ji Bozai and Ming Yi again, can we?

Let me think.

Maybe this time it'll work without any trouble.

After all, the last time we came here,

we both held something back.

Especially you.

You complete liar.

Then let's try again.

This time, I'll do the carving.

After all,

the Marriage Stone teaches couples this way.

Even divine punishment should be taken in turns.

Go ahead.

I'm joking.

I'll do it.

♪Unforgettable love turned out to be a spell♪

♪That made me lose myself♪

[Ji Bozai]

[Ji Bozai, Ming Yi]

[Ji Bozai, Ming Yi]

- Let's congratulate - Let's congratulate

- this old couple - this old couple

- on their renewed bond of love! - on their renewed bond of love!

So it really is true.

See? I told you it would be like this.

If back then you'd given me even a little more sincerity,

I wouldn't have had to face the lightning tribulation.

Ji Bozai.

I... I was only joking with you.

I didn't mean it seriously.

Are you really angry?

The names were just carved

and you're already...

All right, it's my fault, all right?

I'll apologise to you.

Ji Bozai, I already...

♪May this life be as fleeting as a firefly's glow♪

♪Yet love may once again find its way back through time♪

♪Look, beneath the dark clouds♪

♪The fireflies fill the night sky♪

♪That's me. Do you remember?♪

Who do you think will win?

I think Ming Yi looks promising.

I bet Ming Yi wins.

I bet Ji Bozai wins.

After all, she's won seven years in a row.

The only time she lost

was because of Heavenly Grief.

Right.

I'm not so sure.

I heard Ji Bozai has made a breakthrough lately.

He's reached the Perfected Stage.

Then we can win too.

Ming Yi

has also reached the Perfected Stage.

- Ji Bozai for sure. - He's incredible.

No, Ming Yi will win for sure.

Fairy Ming Yi, please.

Immortal Ji Bozai,

please grant me your guidance.
