(Episode 15)

So why was it wrong for me to save Meng Chang Qin?

It's not the same.

How is it not the same?

Meng Chang Qin would put you in danger.

When Meng Chi came here,

I felt the same thing.

From the first time you rescued him

to how he became the residence's housekeeper after decades,

you know how many rumors there have been during this period.

Hua Ru Yue, everything in this world has its fate.

If you interfere with fate, it won't end well for you.

Do you know why the divine clan overcomes trials in the Mortal Realm?

Because there are many sufferings in the Mortal Realm.

Urges and desires. Life and death.

Love and separation. Grudge and hatred. Not getting what you want.

Some things cannot be fulfilled

even if you put in every effort.

However, the divine clan can use their power

to control a mortal's life and death.

If the divine clan wants to help the mortals,

how can they not use their powers

to interfere with the will of Heaven?

When calamity comes and the Mortal Realm is in chaos,

can Gods be spared from their mistakes?

Hua Ru Yue, you are on this path now.

I promise you. Just this once.

After I save Meng Chang Qin,

I won't take it upon myself to save anyone else.

What about you?

What about me?

Will you keep going on an arranged marriage

to find the next person who will overcome the love trial with you?

Don't you know what I'm thinking about?

I've always been loyal since the beginning.

I only want you to overcome the trial with me. That's all.

Fine. I promise.

In the future, I will be with you in one place all the time.

I won't leave even if you are annoyed with me.

Let's overcome the love trial without worries, all right?

Let's go.

Boss, give me a portion of roasted chestnuts.

Sure.

Do you feel like eating chestnuts?

I saw you enjoying the performance at the banquet

without even eating.

Have some chestnuts first.

We'll eat when we go back.

- Don't drop it. - Thank you.

Should we go home together then?

Together.

We've been in the Mortal Realm for many years.

Why aren't there any signs of us overcoming the trial?

Do you not like me and actually hate me?

I'll take your silence as a yes, Bai Jiu Si.

Tell me clearly. Say it.

Tell me clearly.

Are you awake? Come and help me.

Using the art to connect with spirits. Every life's essence is absorbed.

Yue,

it seems like you are still worried about him.

You promised me. Just this once.

The Venerable Grandmaster must keep his promise.

You mustn't go back on your words.

Fine.

I can only wish that the bamboo is strong

and stays green forever.

Come. Be careful.

Why do they sell white lanterns?

I remember we saw colorful lanterns

during the Lantern Festival.

These are called Soul-guiding Lanterns.

Soul-guiding?

Some people die in a foreign place

and can't return to their homeland

so they are reluctant to leave the world.

Their family members

will light a Soul-guiding Lantern

to guide them home.

By doing that, their soul can leave with no worries.

I see.

Take care.

You don't have a good appetite today.

You didn't eat a lot at dinner.

It's difficult to walk on the wet and muddy road. Let me carry you.

Get up.

Do you think the Soul-guiding Lanterns

have the power to guide souls back to their hometowns?

Something mortals make have no power at all.

It's just for their peace of mind.

Even if you don't light this lantern,

I can still see at night.

I know. This lantern isn't for you.

Who did you light it for?

For those who can't find their homes.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

I feel like you are different now.

No matter what,

you must remember who you are

and not get lost, understand?

(Songhe County)

Yue!

Master?

Master!

Right.

Master will never come to this place.

A ghost?

Master.

Master.

It's really you.

Why have you become like this after three years?

Let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you instead.

Why do you come and visit me suddenly?

I'm here to pick you up.

Pick me up?

My residence lacks a housekeeper.

You are educated and were an official before.

I'm sure you can handle this task.

Don't worry. Three big bowls of mushroom soup every day.

You won't starve.

Didn't you say

a person should live well?

Work with me and I'll make sure that you live a good life until you die.

Three bowls of mushroom soup aren't enough.

When I travel around,

I have wine and meat.

I'll provide you with wine and meat.

What about the White-feathered Chickens and Jiangbai Fish?

Sure.

I'm still not going.

Why not?

Master,

I still have something important to do.

You're still looking for the Drought Dragon?

Yes.

Forgive me for not returning with you.

Farewell. I'll see you again.

Meng Chang Qin!

Can't you give up on this?

Since you've called me your master,

I will do my best to protect you.

Come back with me and I will find a job for you.

You can make a living

and not go through a tough time out here.

You can live out your whole life in peace.

Master, I'm living a good life.

Is the good life you're talking about

risking your life all the time?

Master,

you don't know.

Since the day I was born,

the drought has gone on for years

and the situation hasn't improved.

I've seen people starved to death and people are suffering

so I chose to become an official.

I've also seen the prosperity before deities' statues.

I believed in God too

but later I realized

that being an official can't solve the problem

and deities don't solve it.

We need a belief when we are alive, right?

So, I only believe in myself now.

Master, save me that housekeeper vacancy.

When I kill the Drought Dragon, I will come and find you.

What if you can't find the Drought Dragon forever?

Then,

I can only accompany you in my next life.

You can believe in me.

What?

Believe in me.

I will help you kill the Drought Dragon.

This is Mount Wuju.

The resting place of the Drought Dragon.

Can I get rid of the drought

if I kill the Drought Dragon?

The Drought Dragon has caused trouble

but it is caused by its physical traits.

Perhaps it isn't its intention to cause a drought.

There's still a chance for us to work things out.

How?

Chishui has the ability to cleanse.

It can neutralize the Drought Dragon's desolation aura.

If it is willing to return to the North of Chishui

and not bring harm to the people, there's no need to kill it.

What if it's not willing to do it?

Don't hold back and kill it on the spot then.

Go.

Master.

Four Spirits Grandmistress?

The land is suffering from a drought and everyone is starving to death

because of you.

If you are willing to show mercy,

return to Chishui immediately

and not cause harm to the Mortal Realm.

I helped put an end to the water demon uprising at Beihai

and contributed.

I was given a reward by the Heavenly Palace

to travel the Three Realms as I wish

without any restrictions.

I can't agree to your request, Grandmistress.

Your freedom cannot be built on the lives of the Three Realms.

The lives of the Three Realms?

We are just talking about mortals.

Their lives come and go quickly

just like ants.

What is so important about that?

I thought you didn't know about your wrongdoings.

I didn't expect you'd be fully aware and still not repent.

In that case, you deserve to die.

Master!

Venerable Grandmaster.

Envoy, do you come here

because there's an edict from Xuan Heaven?

You and Four Spirits Grandmistress came here to overcome a trial.

Do you know what she is trying to do now?

She is trying to kill a God.

There are four cycles of the world,

Formation, Existence, Destruction, and Void.

The cycle of cause and effect continues without end.

That is the will of Heaven.

However, she is going to kill the Drought Dragon.

Not only will she commit the crime of killing a God,

but she will even interfere with a disaster

and disrupt the will of Heaven.

Since both of you came here together,

you cannot let her do as she wishes

and not do anything to stop her.

What do you want me to do, Envoy?

Stop her and bring her back to Xuan Heaven to be punished.

Master!

Master!

Master, it is going to die.

Go and kill it.

All right.

Hua Ru Yue, how dare you kill a God.

It is a God. Even if it is at fault,

it will be punished by the will of Heaven instead of you.

Where is the will of Heaven when there's a drought in the Mortal Realm?

Where is the will of Heaven when there are dead bodies all over the land?

If the will of Heaven is as heartless as you say,

not following it is fine.

Master!

Meng Chang Qin, what are you still waiting for?

Someone from the divine clan like you can't go against the will of Heaven

let alone a mortal.

Master, I can't kill it.

Chang Qin,

a righteous heart leads to a righteous path.

If you believe in yourself, you can do it!

You bring harm to the Mortal Realm as a God.

If that's how Gods behave,

even a mortal can kill a God!

I finally did it!

Bai Jiu Si,

where is Meng Chang Qin?

He is still passed out but he's safe.

That's good to hear.

Do you know? We killed the Drought Dragon today

and got rid of the drought.

From now on, the people will not be starving again.

I know.

Do you think

I made a mistake?

Yes.

Why?

You don't listen

to everything I told you.

You said mortals are as puny as ants.

They are no different from plants and animals.

That's not it.

I saw Meng Chi.

He couldn't recognize colors

but he still made a colorful drawing with his eyes.

I've seen Meng Chang Qin.

He killed the Drought Dragon

with the body of a mortal and a damaged blade.

Not even a deity can do that.

So what?

So what?

Bai Jiu Si,

do you know what you are saying?

I've always known what I'm doing.

The person who is unclear about it

is you.

The two of us came here to overcome a love trial.

I told you not to simply use powers in the Mortal Realm

and cause trouble.

What did you do?

You used your powers to save people time after time.

You even killed the Drought Dragon for Mortals.

It did something wrong!

Who's right or wrong is hard to judge.

I only care about the result.

Hua Ru Yue,

you promised me

to save Meng Chang Qin only once

so I'm willing to continue overcoming the trial with you.

However, you broke your promise.

You broke the law of Heaven now.

I can't forgive you anymore.

What are you going to do?

I'm going back.

What did you say?

I'm returning to the Nine Heavens

to make up for my crime of coming to the Mortal Realm.

Are you going to kill me?

I won't kill you

but I will seal your powers

to show my stand to the Xuan Heaven Envoy.

I have nothing to do

with what you did.

Bai Jiu Si!

Don't you like the mortals?

I will seal your powers for ten years

and let you live a mortal's life here for ten years.

As for me,

I can return to Heaven as an innocent individual.

This is good for both of us.

You can't do this to me.

You can't do this to me.

I thought

you had sincere feelings for me

while we were living our lives together in the Mortal Realm for decades.

I didn't expect

everything to be fake.

You are

cruel, heartless, selfish, and cold.

No wonder...

No wonder you've never wanted a child with me.

No wonder you've never wanted to help me.

Am I no different from an ant

to you?

When you need me, you speak to me sweetly.

Once I do things against your benefit,

you will abandon me.

I gave you a choice.

This is the choice you've made.

It'll be over soon.

- It won't hurt for a long time. - No.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Martial Uncle Qing Yang. Are you sure you don't know anything?

Why did Elder Xuan Wei and other sect leaders

go to Nine Heavens

and come back suddenly?

Who should I ask about this?

It's fine if disciples like us don't know

but you are an elder of the sect, Martial Uncle.

How can you not know?

- That's right. - Keep quiet.

- Zhang Suan. - Zhang Suan, you are back?

When did you come back?

At the hour of Chen.

The hour of Chen?

In that case, did you return with the sect leaders?

Do you know why Elder Xuan Wei and the sect leaders

go to the Nine Heavens?

That's right. Our martial seniors and juniors suddenly changed.

Not only have they become powerful,

but their attitude and temperament are different too.

Zhang Suan, did the sect leader

feed them some kind of elixir?

- I don't know as well. - This...

You are well-loved by the sect. How can you not know?

Everyone here is a top disciple of the sect.

I'm not.

You are the only one.

Those who went up were all unknown external disciples.

Even those who clean and cook went up.

That's right.

That's right.

Yes.

The Heavenbreaker Seal is powerful.

The Void broke and traces of him are difficult to find.

From the Xuan Heaven all the way to the Nine Nethers.

From the Three Realms to the Six Paths,

Eight Barren Lands to the Four Oceans.

Everywhere is possible.

We couldn't find it

but it doesn't mean the people of Canglei Hall can't find it.

Long Yuan is the Venerable Grandmaster's closest disciple.

I'm sure he can find the Venerable Grandmaster.

The Grandmistress and Venerable Grandmaster disappeared together.

I'm sure they are in the same place.

If we can find the Venerable Grandmaster,

we can find the Grandmistress.

Martial Senior, when I fought at Tianmu Peak,

I planted an Eavesdropping Spirit on Long Yuan.

If Canglei Hall makes a move,

I will surely know.

That's good.

The Master's safety is a serious matter.

There can be no mistakes.

Yes. I will order

the sect's disciples to search in 12 different states.

Dan Yang, since you've planted the Eavesdropping spirit,

you should stay in the sect

and observe the Canglei Hall at all times.

Yes.

Zi Yang, bring the disciples and search every inch

across the four states.

I will be cultivating in seclusion in the hills

and find Master with the Spirit-Searching Formation.

Everyone, please remember.

The matter of the Four Spirits Grandmistress

is related to the fate of the Jingyun Sect.

We must find her

at all costs.

I have a question.

Everyone, get to work.

All of you may leave.

Yes.

What do you want to ask?

You know what I want to ask.

You know everything, don't you?

I want to hear you say it.

Li Qing Yue,

the Jingyun Sect disciple, doesn't exist at all.

There's only the Four Spirits Grandmistress who's a deity.

300 years ago,

the Grandmistress and Venerable Grandmaster, Bai Jiu Si,

fought in Canglei Hall

and their bodies were destroyed.

Her primordial spirit wandered in the realms for 300 years.

For 300 years, the Grandmistress has endured everything

and hid in the Mortal Realm

to avoid Canglei Hall's pursuit.

Until she accepted the great disciples of the last generation,

like Martial Uncle Xuan Wei,

she taught them her skills and established a sect.

She even helped them establish the Jingyun Sect.

That was how she was reborn by using Li Qing Yue's body

who died from drowning

and joined our sect.

She used her identity as a disciple as cover.

The objective of Jingyun Sect's establishment was

to help the Grandmistress regain her power

and return to the Nine Heavens.

Then,

what about Qing Yue?

The average Li Qing Yue

was just the Grandmistress' disguise.

Her body was drowned in a flood

when she was young.

Zhang Suan,

you were confused

because you were within the game.

You can see the truth

once you separate yourself from the board.

I was foolish.

Zhang Suan.

You used the Heaven-reaching Staircase and ascended the Nine Heavens.

I never expected you to do that.

The sect is at fault for hindering your progress.

That's not what I care about.

The sun might be bright

but it is not supposed to be reached.

Why do you insist on looking at it at the cost of damaging your eyes?

I was biting off more than I could chew.

Nothing is perfect in this world.

You get to learn from the Grandmistress in the same sect

is a good enough fate.

When she comes back in the future,

she won't treat you badly.

I understand.
