[The Taoism Grandmaster]

[Episode 25]

Teacher.

What's going on? Why are you so upset?

Lost the drive to fight?

Ju Xiong, you're the eldest senior. How can you be like this?

Teacher!

I couldn't hit.

Teacher, we didn't touch even a hair of Nine-Tailed Fox

and instead was hurt like this.

Teacher...

It's even me who hit Senior Bufan.

So, this is the excuse for your decadence?

Stand up! Hurry!

You really brought me shame!

You're still alive but your heart has died.

This is the greatest sorrow!

Draw your swords now!

Let me teach you today what drive, life, and dignity mean.

I've let you down. I didn't seize the Saint Armor

and failed to protect my co-disciples.

I caused Budong to become disabled and Jiu Ri to die.

Teacher...

please punish me.

For the first time in many years,

you disappointed me.

The most inadmissible thing for me is that

you were defeated by Zhang Dashun's son.

You totally brought shame to the Alliance.

Teacher,

sorry!

Stand up.

Kun Lun, have you reflected and understood the reason for your failure?

My cultivation of magical arts is insufficient

and the evil fox's scheming and witchcraft are grislier than I imagined.

And one more thing,

which will be your Achilles' heel.

Please point it out.

Do you love Feifei?

Tell me.

You're the one whom I respect the most.

Fei...

is the love of my life.

If Nine-Tailed Fox threatened you to give up being the Righteous Path Seeker with Feifei's life,

how would you choose?

I knew you would be drinking here.

You know wherever I am.

How is your injury?

Vice Chief Lian has cleared my meridians.

I'll be fine when my vitality has recovered.

I brought you a meal.

I'm not hungry.

Okay.

You can eat it when you're hungry.

Teacher just called me and we talked for a long time.

For failing to get the Saint Armor?

I've never seen him that disappointed.

I'm really useless.

It's useless to blame yourself.

Don't you always teach others that success or failure is both a form of practice?

But I can't fail

in the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array!

I know.

And he asked me a question

which I don't know how to answer.

He said this question decides whether I can be the seeker.

What question?

He said that

if the evil fox used Fei's life to threaten me

to give up being the Righteous Path Seeker,

what would I do?

He means that...

you're too sentimental.

Then, how did you answer it?

I didn't answer.

But the question reminded me of the time we were battling Nine-Tailed Fox.

I'm thinking that if I hadn't forcibly changed my attack toward Fei,

maybe I could have avoided Fei's attack

and then I wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Maybe, I still could have had a fight with that evil fox.

- Maybe... - Maybe you could have defeated her,

obtained the Saint Armor, and then got the Elixir of Golden Wood.

But have you ever thought that maybe you could have killed Feifei?

Yun Qi,

Teacher asked you to be my vanguard in order to let me become the seeker.

And you need to sacrifice for me if it's necessary.

You've accepted, right?

If you were me, you would do so. Right?

Of course.

But you've promised Feifei to bring her happiness, right?

Yes...

So...

I have to make some decisions.

Why is this Elixir of Golden Wood not golden?

It doesn't even have any smell.

Feifei, is it a fake one?

Impossible!

- Great Spiritual Mirror wouldn't give us a fake one. - Right.

You'll know if you try it.

- She's right. - Come on.

- Let's take it with this good wine. - Okay.

Let me join you.

At the same time, let's celebrate obtaining the first Saint Armor.

And to our first misunderstanding and its resolution.

Cheers!

How do you feel?

Nothing.

How come it feels like I didn't take in anything?

So do I.

- Is it really a fake one? - It can't be...

We'll know after we try it.

What's this?

This is Qianqiu's Deity Sealing Not-an-Imitation Chart, which is not for sale.

We can use it to test our cultivation level.

Interesting! Let me see!

Tie Lang, use your power.

Okay.

It's been more than the Energy Control Realm, Level Two!

It's still going up!

- Tie Lang, don't draw your sword! - Don't draw!

Wait a minute!

Liuli, how much?

It's Energy Control Realm, Level Five!

Level Five? I increased by four levels!

Great! I'm not the second to the last one now!

Get ready for it.

Which level were you at before?

Spiritual Control Realm, Level Two.

Awesome! You're now at Energy Control Realm, Level Three! You upgraded seven levels!

Seven levels!

Great! I finally caught up with everyone!

Feifei, it's your turn.

Maybe you can reach the Imperial Divine Realm.

It's impossible.

Senior used five years to reach that state.

But I can have a try.

Awesome!

What's the result?

You're now at Imperial Divine Realm, Level Three!

- Imperial Divine Realm, Level Three!- Imperial Divine Realm!

I'm now at Imperial Divine Realm!

- I'm so happy! - Level Three.

You're the best among the competitors now!

Congratulations, Feifei!

Wait. It seems that we would be freely forming our groups.

Feifei, Kun Lun and Yun Qi will surely be one group.

The Han brothers are in one group, too.

Ju Xiong and his mates will be in one group.

Only Qianqiu, Mei Kongyun, Xiaoyu, and Wang Wei are left.

We need to find a powerful teammate as soon as possible.

Who is more suitable?

What about Qianqiu?

Aren't you close friends?

- I'll tell him. - Then you're not the weakest team now.

Let's go.

Qianqiu!

How are you feeling?

Have you made rapid progress in your cultivation after eating the Elixir of Golden Wood?

Yes. A little bit.

Tie Lang is already at the Energy Control Realm, Level Five!

Level Five?

- You've upgraded four levels! - Yes.

Zhang Ling was also not bad. He's already at Energy Control Realm, Level Three!

- He almost caught up with the others! - Awesome!

This Elixir of Golden Wood is really magical.

Qianqiu,

have you formed a group with others?

Yes. Just now.

With whom?

Wang Wei and Mei Kongyun.

It seems that only Xiaoyu is left.

Xiaoyu.

Her cultivation is fine but she's too timid.

Never mind. We're bold enough. Let's go.

We're leaving now. Come on.

Follow me.

Sun Yue said that you wanted to see me, right?

We haven't strolled together for a long time.

- Shall we have a walk? - Sure!

Your cultivation greatly increased after taking in the Elixir of Golden Wood, right?

It's really magical!

Zhang Ling borrowed the Deity Sealing Not-an-Imitation Chart from Qianqiu

to test our level after taking the elixir in.

Guess what happened?

I think you're now at the Imperial Divine Realm.

Of course.

I'm now at the Imperial Divine Level, Level Three!

Same with me then.

From now on, when we fight together,

I won't be a burden and you don't need to pay more attention to me either.

We'll be the strongest team!

Even if we meet Nine-Tailed Fox again, we can defeat her!

Kun Lun,

were you going to tell me something?

Fei,

I've made a great decision.

What?

We can't fight together in the Demonic Fate Reaching Illumination Array

from now on.

What do you mean?

I don't understand.

Well...

Yun Qi.

He means that you're the most important one for him.

If we fight together in the same group,

he will use all his power to protect you,

even sacrificing himself.

So...

So we hope that you can join another group.

You...

You...

You want to abandon me!

- Fei, we don't mean that. - Then what do you mean?

We have been together since childhood.

And we swore to be together forever!

But now you ask me to leave our group.

Isn't that equivalent to abandoning me?

Why? My cultivation has already increased.

I won't be your burden anymore!

No!

You're not my burden! You're my beloved!

But no matter how high our cultivation is,

our enemies will just get stronger and more horrible.

I don't know how I can defeat them unless I defy death.

I can only bring you happiness when I defeat them.

Fei, I sincerely love you.

Love me, but you ask me to leave you.

Who'll replace me when I'm out?

Senior Kun Lun and Senior Yun Qi, when shall we start our practice?

Senior Feifei.

It's Xiaoyu.

Feifei, it's all his decision.

- I'd refused but... - Enough! Stop talking!

Xiaoyu, here you are. We've been looking for you.

Indeed. Xiaoyu, you still don't have a group, right?

Right. Don't worry. If no one wants you, join our team.

Even though you're timid, we can now protect you.

Xiaoyu, he's right. We're now among the strongest in the Energy Control Realm.

It's easy for us to fight those demons.

But I've joined Senior Kun Lun and Senior Yun Qi's group.

What? You three are in a group?

Who was abandoned?

Feifei.

Feifei!

What's going on?

Feifei!

Feifei!

Feifei!

Feifei!

Feifei! Open the door!

Can you tell me what happened?

You can join our group

if they don't want you!

It's his loss! Come out!

We three even defeated Bai Qianji.

What else can't we do?

Open the door, Feifei!

Stop. Don't force her.

Feifei was left out by her group and our team needs one.

Shouldn't she be our teammate?

What else needs to be considered?

Feifei! Open the door!

- Maybe it's still due to my background. - About your father?

Haven't we already discussed that?

Yes, we did.

But it didn't change the fact that my dad is the suspect to her mother's murder.

What will others think once they know it?

What will Donghuang Taiyi think once he knows?

Forget it. Don't disturb her anymore. Let's go.

You can leave but I won't. I'll stay here to wait for her.

Are you going to wait here all day?

Yes, I can. What about you?

Let's wait outside.

Feifei!

Shut up! I don't want to hear anything.

Don't follow me.

She's really annoyed.

Me, too.

Senior Sister.

Dad.

Budong, do you feel better?

I never thought that my dad was a seer for naming me Budong.

I really can't move now.(T/N: In Chinese, "Dong" equals move.)

Nonsense!

He always says nonsensical jokes when he wakes up.

Doesn't he know that we're all worried about him?

Do you want me to keep crying so you won't worry?

Okay, I'll start then.

Okay, okay. Do it slowly.

Enough, Budong.

Pixie said that your external injuries have healed.

Once you've recovered your primordial energy, I'll teach you a breathing technique.

As you diligently practice, you might not move as natural as before,

but walking by yourself is a possibility.

Thank you, Teacher.

Budong, I believe that you can walk again.

Senior,

I'm slightly worried about Xiaoyu.

She hasn't come to see me since we came back from the Vast Old City.

I'm afraid she'll be remorseful.

Please help me comfort her.

I will. Focus on your recuperation. Don't worry.

I know.

Dad, Kun Lun decided not to team up with me.

I know.

It was your idea?

You've always thought that I was his burden

so you refused to let me join the tournament.

Feifei,

between Kun Lun and you, who has more of a chance to be a Righteous Path Seeker?

Of course, it's Senior.

Feifei,

I'm old now.

The day when the Phantom World attacks the mortal world

is getting closer and closer.

What I can do is to pour all my hope and energy

into one.

My only choice is Kun Lun.

Like you,

I also have dreams.

Dream?

My dream...

is that one day,

I can see Kun Lun wear the Saint Armor

and defeat the Phantom World as the Righteous Path Seeker,

complete the Second Cleansing War.

In this peaceful paradise,

he'll marry my daughter.

I hope he can let my only kin be happy forever.

But to complete this dream,

I must accomplish two things.

One is to use all my power

to let him become the Righteous Path Seeker.

The other one is...

to ensure that you safely wait for that day.

I do have selfish motives

but I hope that you can forgive me.

I understand.

But my dream is also to become the Righteous Path Seeker.

Then you can keep going.

Dad, one more thing.

They've all formed their groups so I can only join Zhang Ling and Tie Lang's group.

Will you be angry?

You only need to make a promise,

and then I won't bother you from now on.

Please say it.

Help Kun Lun become the Righteous Path Seeker.

Eradicate all his obstacles when it's necessary.

I don't understand what you mean.

You'll understand it when the time comes.

Will you promise me?

I promise.

Even if you don't say it, I'll help Kun Lun become the Righteous Path Seeker.

That's good then.

Fine.

You need to depend on yourself in passing the future trials.

Xiaoyu, focus.

- Also, the timing of your attack is wrong. Be mindful of it. - Yes, Senior.

- Watch out! Don't hurt yourself! - I know!

Senior Feifei!

Xiaoyu, you've made great progress.

No, it's because Yun Qi hasn't completely recovered yet

and Kun Lun teaches me a lot.

I came to apologize.

Why?

Because I didn't believe in Kun Lun,

so I came to apologize.

Kun Lun must have made the decision after careful and extensive thought.

I should accept it.

Fei...

Thank you.

Okay, I won't disturb your practice anymore.

Xiaoyu, continue working hard.

I will, Feifei.

After the fight in the Vast Old City,

I'm not the same as before.

Just be at ease in entrusting Kun Lun to me.

Xiaoyu,

Budong really misses you a lot.

Visit him when you have time.

I know. I'll see him.

Feifei.

Who are your teammates?

Do I still have any choice?

Let's work hard together!

Kun Lun, let's continue.

Yun Qi, have a break first. You practice with me.

Okay.

What are you doing?

It's not the first time you've worked as a group so what's to worry about?

Also, this has long been a group of three.

Three?

Where's the third one? Only us two are here.

I've decided to go with you invisibly in the later trials.

No way! That's cheating!

If Great Spiritual Mirror knows an elemental saved us, she'll disqualify us.

I'm not helping you.

I just want to protect my Zhang Ling.

- But... - No more buts!

I've already decided on our team's name. It will be called "Uncommon Path"!

What about it? Is it good?

What a strange name. It has no force at all.

He's right.

I think it's a good name. I like it very much.

Feifei!

You're not part of our team so what's the use of you liking it?

Am I not allowed to join? Okay, I'll just go.

- Wait! - Wait a moment!

What did you say? You're going to join us?

Nobody wants to be with me except you two idiots.

Are you not afraid that your dad will be against it?

My dad said nothing about it so I made the decision myself.

Then it means that the four members of Uncommon Path are complete.

You don't find it lacking in force now?

I think it's not bad after hearing it several times.

Our Uncommon Path group is officially formed.

Come.

Little Fox, didn't you want to join us? Come over here.

You've already gotten three people now. Is there any room for me?

Our group is the Uncommon Path, so you can be our mysterious member.

But your identity can't be exposed!

You can be with us but you can't make an action without our permission.

Why do you have so many rules?

After shaking hands, we'll be team companions who will live or die together.

Come here!

Okay. I'll obey you.

Starting today, our Uncommon Path group is formally established!

Live or die, we'll be together!

You're really kind to me!

Can you stop doing that in front of me?

I didn't know that she was so direct...

It's not a big deal! We're always like this!

- I also don't think you should... - Shut up!

Don't you know we'll feel awkward after seeing it?

Can you be more considerate?

Is your feeling my business?

Anyway, I don't like seeing you two ambiguously flirting in front of me.

What do you mean?

This is called an open and aboveboard kiss. Right?

What? I don't think so...

The fifteen competitors have been grouped.

All of you will be trained by the five chiefs before the fourth trial starts.

The first team composed of Kun Lun, Yun Qi, and Feng Xiaoyu,

will be led by Chief Donghuang.

Yes.

The second team composed of Han Shang, Han Gong, and Han Yu,

will be Lady Undead's students.

Yes.

The third team by Ju Xiong, You Bufan, and Long Ying'er,

will be Green Robed Swordsman's students.

Yes!

The fourth team composed of Xiao Qianqiu, Mei Kongyun, and Wang Wei,

will be Mythical Fire Patriarch's students.

Yes!

The last team of Zhang Ling, Tie Lang, and Donghuang Feifei,

will be Lian Pixie's students.

Yes!

Tie Lang, what's the matter?

Our team is called Uncommon Path.

Yes, we're group Uncommon Path.

Yes! We're group Uncommon Path! So what?

Got it.

You can name your group as you like.

I hope you can keep on increasing your cultivation before the fourth trial.

Do not relax.

Yes!

Zhang Ling. Tie Lang.

Meet me at the top of Clear Wood-Oil Tree Stream tomorrow morning.

Meet...

Got it.

Isn't your relationship not good? You claimed that she's horrible?

She's horrible so you need to be careful.

Zhang Ling. Tie Lang.

Wanshi wants to see you.

I know she wants to see us.

[The Untrammeled School]

His Cloud Umbrella's turned into a sword!

Finally, it was born. The second Imperial Artifact made by me was born!

Zhang Ling, what should it be called?

What about Non-Action Sword?

- Non-action is being one with the right dao/way. If you are one with Dao, then you are able to do anything. - Non-Action Sword...

Good name!

Non-Action, guard your master well!

Well, for hatching two excellent Imperial Artifacts for me,

just hand me those two weird armors. I'll personally create all-new sets of armor for you two.

Really?

Of course!

Wanshi, why are you so cute now?

As long as you help test my new inventions.

Oh right! I invented new Thunder Beads. I'll get them now so you can help test them for me.

Leave! Right now!

This Vomiting Thunder Bead is really good! Don't you want to try?

Do you remember what I said?

No matter what Lian Pixie says and what kind of attitude she shows,

- don't answer back . - He's right.

And don't speak carelessly or suffer the unimaginable consequences.

Don't worry. I know her very clearly.

She's just a lonely grudgeful woman, lacking family love, friendship, and romance, right?

That's why she did such horrible things to you.

The more bitter you are, the happier she is.

She's a sadist.

But I don't fear her. Who am I?

I'm a disciple of the Alliance of Five Great Mountains.

And I've taken in the Elixir of Golden Wood. I'm better than before.

Two Forces Balls? Totally nothing to me.

Look at you two. Already losing your mind from being tortured by that sadist.

Let me tell you that in dealing with a person like that, you mustn't be too courteous and respectful.

Otherwise, she'll become more wanton!

Hence, you must show your dignity more.

Good morning, Miss Donghuang.

Good morning, Vice Chief Lian.

Good morning, Vice Chief Lian.

As you took the Elixir of Golden Wood and became stronger,

how about widening the vision of this lonely grudgeful woman?

Are you ready to start your special training?

Do not agree. She smiled.

Every time she smiles, we get into trouble.

It's you, not me.

Come on!

What kind of special training have you prepared for us today?

They can have a rest today but you need to be trained.

Only her?

Don't worry. It's just Two Forces Balls.

Get ready for it.

Wait.

As you're very confident with your cultivation,

how about having a bet with me?

If you can bring down two balls in one hour,

then I'll carry water from City of No Tears to the Alliance and heat it for your hot bath.

What if I fail?

Then it's you who will do it for me.

Don't agree.

- Don't agree. - Okay, deal.

You must keep your words!

Come on, Zhang Ling.

Part!

Slow down.

- Be careful. - It seems that she can't hold on.

- Be careful! - Feifei, don't worry!

Just go ahead! We're your safeguards!

Quickly. We'll soon arrive.

No...

- Hold on. The finish line is just up ahead. - He's right.

- Tie Lang, let's pump her up. - Okay.

Fighting!

Feifei, are you okay?

I'm okay but you two are too noisy!

Well, what about having a rest? Let's do it for you.

Stop! Don't try to do that!

The consequences will be graver if Lian Pixie learns about this.

Sorry, Miss Feifei. I can't put you in harm's way.

Didn't you treat her as your enemy?

Why were you like mice seeing a cat today?

Because she saved us.

What?

Maybe we'd have already been killed by Bai Qianji without her.

Yes. We used to think that she was just embarrassing us.

But when we fought Bai Qianji, what we used was the method of avoiding the Two Forces Balls.

Without Lian Pixie, we both would now be dead.

So no matter how she treats you, you must endure.

Maybe she's really the best teacher in the Immortal World.

Enough. Stop thinking too much. Continue with carrying the water.

Move aside!

Fighting!

Fighting!

Follow me, Wang Wei.

Your armors are complete.

- How about it? - Not bad!
