(In the silver saddle, he rides like a shooting star.)

(He kills a man within ten steps. Invincible he is all the way ahead.)

(He would leave once it's done. No trace of him is to be found.)

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

How did you do it last time?

Show me again.

Just do it.

This is drawing circles.

Essentially,

everything returns to primordial nothingness.

You saw it twice and you understand it?

As for the skills,

it's more like borrowing power and defusing power.

It's true.

Let me think about it.

You didn't pass out today?

Is the cucumber ripe?

Don't touch it!

Not ripe?

It's my garden.

You don't allow people to eat your vegetables.

Why do you grow them?

I'm happy to.

I don't believe

you can guard here 24 hours a day.

Just kidding.

As the son of the Lord of North Liang, how could I steal your vegetables?

What's there you can't do?

It's still early.

I'm going to practice a little more.

Sweet potatoes?

Somehow

I found them in the garden.

I don't want them.

Take them away.

Go away.

Don't bother me.

What are you doing?

It's a good way to practice my hands.

Interesting.

Your Highness.

Miss Jiang Ni

guards the garden every day like it's forbidden.

You didn't steal

the sweet potatoes, did you?

I'm worried

she would kill you later.

On Mount Wudang,

who dares to take anything from that girl's garden?

Why does she

like the garden so much?

Probably

she never owned anything

since she was little.

Where is Xu Fengnian?

I'm asking you.

Where are Xu Fengnian and his brother?

This maid doesn't understand mandarin?

Don't step on my vegetables!

How dare you!

Hold on.

Why did you push me?

You ruined my vegetables.

You pushed me for these vegetables?

It's mine!

How unappreciative.

I'll teach her a lesson!

There's nothing to be proud of to hit a maid.

I'll give you a chance.

Apologize to me now.

You stepped on my vegetables first.

Destroy the garden.

Yes!

Hurry!

- Yes! - Yes!

I will clean it up for you.

I don't want it anymore.

Burn it later.

Yes.

The roasted sweet potatoes you made

are much worse than what old Huang made.

Your Highness.

Do you practice martial arts to go to Wudi City?

Do you also think it's impossible?

Why impossible?

Because I'm just getting started,

but Wang Xianzhi has long been peerless.

What should I do then?

I've never started practicing martial arts.

What does it have to do with you?

Because I'm the best in the world.

You?

The best?

Yes.

I must be the best in the world.

When are you going to start practicing martial arts?

Never.

And you want to be the best in the world?

I promised my senior fellow apprentice

that I won't go down the mountain

until I become the best in the world.

However, I have to go down the mountain one day.

It never occurred to you

that it's impossible?

I believe in myself.

Therefore, you should also believe in yourself.

You will be able to enter Wudi City

and get back the sword box.

It sounds like two crazy people talking.

If you don't even believe in yourself,

what else can you believe?

Xu Fengnian!

You will be able to enter Wudi City!

Okay.

Hong Xixiang!

I'll wait for you to be the best in the world!

It's done.

Apologize.

You are going to cry?

Tears don't work.

How dare you!

Don't come over.

I knew it long ago

that tears don't work.

Kneel down.

You want to hit back?

You are a noble person.

You don't need to do it yourself.

It's beneath your dignity.

Slap her.

Until she apologizes.

Yes!

Go ahead!

It's Xu Fengnian.

You must be the son of the Lord of North Liang.

A brute indeed.

How rude!

Does it hurt?

No.

Did she bully you?

She stepped on my vegetables.

So, I pushed her.

She destroyed my garden.

So, I threw mud on her!

I got back at her expect this slap.

I didn't lose to her.

As the son of the Lord of North Liang,

you can't even discipline a maid well.

What a disappointment.

What do you mean by that?

Apologize.

What do you say?

That girl behind me,

I can bully her,

but

you can't.

Well,

do you want to fight with us

without asking who we are?

Do I need to know a dog's name before I beat it?

You have a quick tongue indeed,

but I'm afraid you are not as strong as you think!

Go on!

Just don't kill him!

You put your blade back so fast?

Didn't they say he can't fight?

I think he just starts to learn martial arts.

His strength and skills are good,

but it's a pity

that he lacks the genuine spirit.

I guess it's the only move you know.

Is this old pale man your lover?

Kill him!

You are courting death.

Hold the blade tight.

Who are you?

Let's just fight.

Why do you care who I am?

You...!

Xu Fengnian!

Do you know who I am?

Sui dug up two luminous pearls

in Mount Tai.

I've heard about it.

Isn't that how you got your name,

Princess Suizhu?

Since you know who I am,

get down on your knees now!

I think you should get down on your knees.

We got engaged three years ago.

Although I had been away for three years,

and the marriage didn't work out,

you're still my wife on some level.

Xu Fengnian!

I'm an easy-going person.

You don't need to kneel down at my feet.

Just apologize to her.

You want me, a princess,

to apologize to a maid?

Why is that?

Senior.

Can you win?

Of course.

Because we can fight!

You!

You want to fight against the Princess of Liyang.

Sun Diaosi.

Yes!

Take them down!

Master.

(Sanqing Hall) They are halfway up the mountain.

Are we not going to do anything?

Yeah.

One is the Princess of Liyang.

The other is the son of the Lord of North Liang.

It will cause us trouble to help either of them.

After Mount Longhu sent the letter of challenge,

many disciples have left one after another.

Master.

If we turn to the royal family,

the Mount Longhu

won't be so aggressive.

Isn't it just a competition?

Master's Dahuangting

may not lose to the Longhu Arch-Taoist.

Yeah.

It doesn't matter whether we win or lose.

What do you mean?

Mount Longhu is just an excuse.

The one who wants to reorganize the sects

is the one on the throne.

If the capital can support Mount Longhu,

it can also tolerate Wudang Sect.

In recent years, Mount Longhu has annexed many sects.

They tore down their gates

and moved to the capital.

If we do that,

Wudang Sect will be destroyed.

Yeah.

At least there is a way to live.

Exactly.

Eh.

What do you think?

I can't go to the capital.

Why?

I took an oath

that I won't go down the mountain

until I become the best in the world.

It's not the time for jokes!

Yeah.

You have a point.

- Master. - Master.

Master!

Master!

You can apologize now?

What do you want?

You don't understand my words?

I want you to apologize.

No need to apologize.

I only want my garden.

What?

Give my garden back to me.

How dare you!

Then don't apologize.

Compensate for the garden.

How much is this shabby garden worth?

I think it's worth one thousand taels of gold.

Fine.

One thousand taels of gold.

I'll send you the money later.

Later?

Want to welch on your debt?

I have no money now.

What's in your hand?

Is everyone in Wudang Sect dead?

Are you from Wudang Sect?

I am the Master of Wudang Sect, Wang Chonglou.

Greetings, Your Highness.

I order you to take these three people down

right now.

I'm ashamed to say

that our sect only cultivates spirit. We are not good at martial arts.

You even dare to defy the royal order?

We are unskillful in martial arts indeed.

Sorry to let you down, Your Highness.

You're getting your sect destroyed!

I just heard

that Your Highness mentioned gold with Young Master Xu.

How about I pay for you first?

But the Princess must write an IOU

with her fingerprint on it.

Very good.

Wudang Sect is going to be Xu Fengnian's dog?

How can you borrow money with that attitude?

Take it!

500 taels of gold for one pearl.

Take them all!

Senior.

Please put back your blade.

I'm incompetent.

I embarrassed you, Your Highness.

It has nothing to do with you.

Is it all right?

You need to ask her.

I only want my garden.

You...!

Turn it into the way it was.

Well,

this girl doesn't know what's good.

Why not give the two pearls to me

if she doesn't want them?

I won't give you

what you want.

It's such a waste.

What a spendthrift.

Xu Fengnian.

Wang Chonglou.

Remember today.

Restore this place.

Hurry!

Stop!

What's wrong again?

I thought about it.

Your people are too dirty.

Don't let them touch my garden.

You're humiliating me.

You slapped me on the face.

I humiliated you.

We are barely even now.

You...!

What else do you have to say?

Suit yourself, Your Highness.

Where is Xu Longxiang?

You are here to see my younger brother?

You didn't marry me,

so, you want to become my sister-in-law?

Don't go too far!

My brother has been taken to Mount Longhu.

Ask Master Wang if you don't believe me.

I can prove it.

Let's go down the mountain.

Yes, Your Highness.

Let's go!

Master.

That was embarrassing for the Princess.

Do you have time

to have a few words with me?

Give me a minute.

I'll wait for you at the waterfall where you practice martial arts.

I'll be there right away.

Let's go back to North Liang right now

in case the Princess's people will come after you.

Do you think I'm afraid of her?

Have you cooled down?

I didn't provoke her.

She stepped on my vegetables first.

I know.

She was looking for you.

It's my fault to get you into this.

How about I restore it for you?

Forget it.

This is my fate.

I don't deserve to own anything.

Even when I own something,

I will lose it in the end.

There is no such fate in the world.

My father is dead.

My mother is dead.

My home is lost.

My country fell.

There's no need to restore it!

I was born to owe this world.

I wish it was all ruined.

Your Highness.

I'm incompetent.

Sorry to get you insulted.

Send people to find out

if Xu Longxiang really went to Mount Longhu.

Yes, Your Highness.

What do you think of Xu Fengnian?

Your Highness.

The man is bold and audacious.

It doesn't matter how bold he is.

The point is whether he is smart enough.

He has a sharp tongue.

I don't think

he is stupid.

I think it's the other way around.

The man is reckless and ignorant.

He is a real idiot.

Your Highness,

why do you have

such a low opinion of him?

The relationship between the capital and North Liang

is very subtle.

It looks like that the emperor and the officials are of one mind,

but in fact...

If Xu Fengnian is clever,

he shouldn't reveal my identity.

If things get ugly,

neither North Liang nor the capital can end it properly.

Oh.

So, you provoked Xu Fengnian on purpose?

We came here for two reasons.

One is Xu Longxiang.

The other is

that I want to see

what kind of person he is.

You really thought I got here in a hurry

just to quarrel with him?

There should be records in the palace

about what Xu Fengnian did every year.

That kind of stuff is useless.

Xu Xiao will die one day.

I must see him in person to know

what the nature of Xu Fengnian is,

and how dangerous he is to the royal family.

I prepared a lot of means,

but I didn't expect him to be rattled

just because of a maid.

If North Liang is left to such a person,

the Xu family will come to an end.

Your Highness, you are right.

I think your fate is not that bad.

Despite all the suffering,

you ended up being my maid.

It's kind of a silver lining.

That's an attempted assassination.

Shouldn't you give me compensation?

I stabbed the ground!

What's wrong with you?

Stab the ground with a dagger.

Yeah.

You're the smartest one.

You provoked the Princess on purpose

to make her think

that you are an impulsive and irritable idiot.

I kind of

did it on purpose.

But it's mainly because...

I have a bad temper.

Then you're a real idiot.

What about you?

You knew they outnumber you,

but you still confronted them.

Didn't you ask for trouble?

The world is hard like a stone and sharp like a weapon,

but I will never give in.

Look at your attitude.

Princess Suizhu must really hate you.

She should hate you more

than she hates me.

Um.

Why should we care about her? Eat the cucumber.

Don't throw it!

It is good.

There are a few more left.

I hate both of them!

Didn't you do it on purpose, Your Highness?

I'm still angry.

Xu Fengnian and that maid humiliated me.

How can I swallow my anger?

But he is still the son of the Lord of North Liang.

I'm afraid it's not easy to get back at him.

Not only Xu Fengnian,

but also Wang Chonglou.

Based on what just happened,

Wudang Sect is determined to turn to North Liang.

With the backing of North Liang,

it's also hard to make a move against Wudang Sect.

Xu Xiao never has a good attitude towards those sects.

I'm afraid it's just

Wang Chonglou's wishful thinking.

Who's in the way?

Hong Xixiang.

Hong Xixiang?

Wang Chonglou's junior fellow apprentice?

Yes.

Why are you standing in the way?

My senior fellow apprentice is determined

to go against the court,

but all other disciples

are willing to set things right.

So, you are going to go against Master Wang?

Not to go against him,

but to find a way to survive.

I can't let him drag Wudang Sect down

to the abyss.

Wang Chonglou cultivated Dahuangting.

You are a little Taoist. How do you set things right?

Usually, I can't stop him.

But there is an opportunity today.

Please

follow me back.

Thank you for speaking up for me.

It wasn't for justice, but for my own benefit.

In that situation,

I spoke up for you,

telling the Princess

that Wudang Sect is following North Liang's lead.

In fact, you don't need to help either of us.

How do you think of the world of martial arts?

It's free without restraint

and desirable.

The world of martial arts

is insignificant.

The fights over power on the court are the undercurrents

which can stir up huge waves.

The so-called sects

are just a few boats on the water.

Without foundation,

it could topple at any moment.

The two biggest undercurrents at the moment

are the capital and North Liang.

Wudang Sect is facing a rough sea now.

If we keep being indecisive

and standing aside,

we will be swallowed by the waves.

I think I know it.

Wudang Sect wants to turn to North Liang?

We just want to protect ourselves.

What does Master Wang

want to do?

You should know

the martial artists are divided into nine ranks.

I know.

There isn't much to say about the second rank to the eighth rank.

Let's just talk about the first rank.

Wang Xianzhi must be in the first rank.

That's right.

But there are four levels

in the first rank.

The first level is the Diamond Realm.

Diamond Realm

is the entry for the martial artists.

The body is hard to destroy and the bones won't decay.

The one who comes here with you

is about at this realm.

After the Diamond Realm,

it's the Void Realm.

It's more amazing.

Jian Jiuhuang once reached that realm.

Old Huang?

You mean he reached the Void Realm before?

In the battle of Wudi City,

Jian Jiuhuang used

the Ninth Move.

It reached the Celestial Realm.

It was something.

Indeed.

There are very few people

who can enter the Celestial Realm.

Wang Xianzhi in Wudi City

has been in this realm

for half a lifetime.

It's too high to reach.

There are four realms in the first rank.

Diamond, Void, and Celestial.

It's only three realms.

The top one is called the Immortal Realm.

This realm

is just a legend.

Is there no other realm on top of that?

Above the first rank is the Unity.

What is the Unity?

The four realms are shadowy.

I don't think I can see it.

Why do you tell me

about this?

I heard that you want to go to Wudi City.

You need to reach the Void Realm at least.

You are talented,

but you started too late.

That can't be helped.

I'll take my time to practice.

Wudang Sect's Dahuangting is not the strongest martial art,

but it's definitely special.

How is it special?

Dahuangting can change a person's bones.

I think you know it.

Besides,

the most amazing thing about Dahuangting

is to serve others.

To serve others?

The one who cultivated Dahuangting

can give his genuine spirit

to someone else.

Give away the genuine spirit?

If you all practice Dahuangting

and pass it to one person,

isn't that person going to be invincible?

Your Highness.

Dahuangting is extremely hard to cultivate.

In recent years,

except for Master Wang,

no one else acquires it.

That's good.

And there is a catch

that Dahuangting can only be passed

to someone who never cultivates his genuine spirit.

How much he can absorb

after the transmission

depends on the destiny.

It's only

five or six out of ten most of the time.

You want to pass Dahuangting to me?

Hold on.

What will happen to you after you pass your genuine spirit to me?

Without my genuine spirit,

I'll die soon.

Are you crazy?

I'm wide sober.

You are going to give up your life

to help me?

We're not even close.

It's not for you,

but for Wudang Sect.

I've made myself clear.

Wudang Sect can only survive

with the backing of North Liang.

Xu Xiao won't agree.

It's not important.

As long as they see me passing my force to you,

everyone will believe

that Wudang Sect joins North Liang's side.

Who can see it?

Wang Chonglou wants to pass his force to Xu Fengnian?

There are clouds of various colors at dusk.

Close the eyes and look into oneself.

Then I realize I'm in a cave of heaven.

Huangting turns out to be a blessed land.

(Funeral)

(Childhood Xu Fengnian)

Mother.

(Childhood Jiang Ni) Mother.

Your mother is dead.

She won't come back alive.

But you still have a father,

elder sisters,

and a younger brother.

I...

I'm the only one left in my family.

She will always live in your heart

and look at you.

Wipe your tears.

Don't let her see you cry.

Fengnian.

Fengnian.

Fengnian.
