[Immortal Samsara]

[Episode 4]

Miss Yingdeng.

Congrats on your promotion.

Wishing you the best.

You are looking better than ever.

We both serve His Majesty.

Skip the formalities.

Biyi.

Since leaving the palace,

you studied for divinity
to become a Divine Official.

Now,

you've become one of the leaders.

Among the many immortal attendants
in Yanxu Heavenly Palace,

His Majesty clearly

has a fondness for you.

Is His Majesty in?

This fabric is made from
cirrus silk with pliable gold.

It is indestructible.

It has a honeysuckle pattern as the base,

inlaid with beads of myrtle and Qilin stone.

They help to calm the mind.

From its pattern to inlays,

Yingdeng constructed everything herself.

The Hunyuan Jade Belt is broken.

Although it was due to
Immortal Attendant Yandan's negligence,

the Magical Pavilion
bears responsibility for oversight.

The honeysuckle pattern

used to be Your Majesty's favorite.

Now that I'm unable to serve by your side,

I hope this calming item

could help you sleep better

after a long day's work.

There's no need.

That immortal attendant was reckless.

But she's restored the Jade Belt.

This fabric is overly ornate,

too extravagant.

I can't carry it.

The Lotus embroidery is too plain

and the needlework is crude.

It's not befitting of Your Majesty's stature.

If Your Majesty wish to keep the old belt,

I've brought along gold threads

to fix it myself.

I promise to do a good job.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Yandan has finished copying
the books of immortality

as you wanted.

Would you like to check it?

How could a lowly immortal attendant
who was sentenced to palatial duties

come into contact

with classic tomes of Yanxu Heavenly Palace?

Don't move.

Manipulation?

[Luoyan Hall]

This is for flipping the tortoise head.

This is for beating me.

This is for making me sew.

You shot me with an arrow?

I'll show you!

[I won]

God is fair.

That Yandan is full of malice.

She has no respect for rules.

What does she think Yanxu Heavenly Palace is?

I'll take her to
the Heavenly Gallows to be punished.

No need.

I was the one who challenged her.

She won.

Your Majesty.

This is against the Heavenly Rules.

Yingdeng.

You are no longer
with the Yanxu Heavenly Palace.

You're not the master

and yet you're sounding off.

You're overstepping your jurisdiction.

I have no time to submit you
to the Heavenly Gallows.

Begone.

Fairies these days

sure are temperamental.

I'll have to teach Zhixi manipulation.

She can use it as a defensive measure.

Lu Jing will send the "Pure Heart Mantra"

to your room.

Write ten copies.

By the way,

"Pure Heart Mantra" contains 16 volumes.

You are so vile!

Come fight me head-on if you dare.

A real man won't hide his face.

[East Land Hall]

[Pixiang Hall]

Move everything out.

All of it.

Move it.

This...

Stop!

Who are you?

Why are you dismantling our stage
and moving our things?

Because I'm Pixiang Hall's supervisor.

Pixiang Hall's supervisor?

Then this must be a misunderstanding.

It's me.

Yandan.

Have you forgotten?

I got Luming to send you a lot of artifacts.

What artifacts?

Don't run your mouth.

Anyway, no more plays are allowed here.

Move your things away now.

Otherwise,

I'll throw them all away.

How come you didn't say that

when you accepted the artifacts?

Besides,

Pixiang Hall has been vacant for years.

Why can't we stage our plays here?

Even if it's vacant, you can't use it.

The Heavenly Rules state

that only those who attained divinity

and hold high-rank positions
above Vice Curators

have the right to use these halls.

Well, well.

Have you forgotten your etiquette
because you aren't an immortal?

You should really learn
from your sister, Zhixi.

At least her greetings
are appropriate for a servant.

Greetings, Curator Yingdeng.

I have to point out an error in your words.

Zhixi is not a servant.

She is the Magical Pavilion's Vice Curator.

Although I do not have divinity,

I know the Heavenly Rules.

The rules said,

immortals are differentiated by ranks.

But everyone

is not defined by status.

Then did the rules also state

that there are different levels
of immortal powers?

Do something!

What should we do?

(The manual said,)

(reverse the microcosmic orbit)

(to unlock the body and mind.)

(But why do I feel so weak?)

First, condense your qi in the outer layer

before reversing it.

Then, have confidence in the heart.

Confidence in the heart.

Humility unleashed!

Curator Yingdeng.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Yandan is my immortal attendant.

I will reprimand her
if she committed any wrongdoings.

Since when was it the Magical Pavilion's duty?

Does it hurt?

I dare not complain.

It should hurt.

Bullying the immortal attendants.

Arrogant and mean.

This isn't how a leader should behave.

You exposed Sixuan's violation of abstinence.

She was at fault.

But let me remind you.

Keep your hands off

my people.

Escort Curator Yingdeng
back to the Magical Pavilion.

Yes, Your Majesty.

[Yanxu Heavenly Palace]

Was that the "Xiaohan Scriptures"?

Yingdeng spent a lot of time studying
"Xiaohan Scriptures".

So I picked up some scraps.

But you.

After coming to Yanxu Heavenly Palace,

you seem to have gotten smarter.

Don't even remind me.

That vile guy, Yingyuan
keeps ordering me to copy books.

It'd be harder not to get smarter.

"Xiaohan Scriptures" is an ancient tome.

I'm sure the cultivation method

is different from now.

If you wish to learn it,

the mantra would have to be changed too.

Too bothersome.

Copying books really did make you smarter.

Tell me more.

In the scriptures, it said,

first seek the heaven's secret, Tanji,

then heaven's will.

But in my opinion,

the current cultivation practices
in the Heavenly Court

should first seek the heaven's will,
then heaven's secret.

Otherwise, the breath will stagnate

and your powers will diminish too.

Did His Majesty teach you that?

Of course not.

There's no way that vile guy is so kind.

I figured it out myself.

You.

You lack the cultivation base

but are exposed
to these high-level powers here.

You'll be easily confused.

Remember, never be overconfident

and force a narrative.

If other Divine Officials

heard what you said just now,

they might just sentence you for disrespecting

the codex and ancient immortals.

Then what?

Then I'd have to ask Fairy Zhixi

to spare me

for that.

Enough chat.

I have to go.

Where are you going?

What can be more important than your sister?

The artifacts in every palace
are replaced every 200 years.

During the last inspection,

a few artifacts at the Magical Pavilion
are broken due to age

and were added to the damaged list.

The supervisor of the Soul Incinerator
at Qianyun Palace suggested

that Magical Pavilion send over

the broken artifacts earlier
due to the large amount.

I'm in charge of delivery.

Is Ziwei Bottle one of them?

How did you know?

How could they make you deliver it?

I'm the Vice Curator.

It's part of my duty.

What's the matter?

No.

I just think

it's unsafe at night.

Things have been chaotic too.

Zhixi.

You shouldn't go.

Ask somebody else.

Now you're going to worry about me too?

You should work your mouth more

instead of your brain.

I really have to go now.

No.

Your Majesty.

I'm willing to write 100 copies
of all the chess manuals

in the Six Realms.

You can copy the manuals.

But switching the person is a no.

This is a big matter.

Any slight mishap will bring
problems to the Six Realms.

This plan has been a long time coming.

We're almost at the end.

If the person-in-charge of the incinerating
is changed suddenly,

it might alert the enemy.

I'm leading the arrest this time.

No harm will befall your sister.

But I...

But I almost died in the hands
of the Demon Clan.

Moreover, not only are there agents
from the Divine Realm,

spies from the Demon Realm will be there too.

Don't forget the heavenly army.

If tension arises

and a fight breaks out,

your concern will be the Six Realms.

You won't be able to protect my sister.

Are you doubting me?

That's right.

I'm doubting you.

Safety of the Six Realms is important.

But so is my sister's life.

You set her up as the bait

but did not tell her what is going on,

nor did you ask if she was okay to do it.

Don't you think it's unfair?

Yandan.

Don't come any closer.

Right now,

there's someone who is willing to be a martyr.

I will take Zhixi's place.

We are twins of the same origin.

I can disguise myself

to look like her for a short time.

As long as the people we meet
don't check with spells,

none would be the wiser.

This way, your plan will not be disrupted.

If anything were to happen,

no one would gossip about it either.

Gossip?

Seems like you're the biggest gossip
in the Six Realms.

One of these days,
I'd have to sew your mouth shut.

Your Majesty.

Zhixi is the hope
of the Four-Leaf Lotus Clan.

The heavens have love for everyone.

Please ensure it is fulfilled.

You just won't give up.

Fine.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'm willing to bow down and give up my life

to repay your kindness.

First, seek the heaven's will,

then heaven's secret.

How could this be?

What are you doing, Zhixi?

Curator Yingdeng.

Chief Curator wanted to speak to you.

But I couldn't find you anywhere.

Here you are, secretly breaking artifacts.

Are you that upset about the task
given by the Magical Pavilion?

Curator Yingdeng.

I was practicing just now.

I didn't mean to break the artifact.

This morning, you went
to Yanxu Heavenly Palace

to look for your sister,

right?

Enough

with that innocent expression of yours.

Are the items to be incinerated

ready to be delivered?

They're ready.

Then bring them here.

Yes.

The seven items are all here.

Send it to Yanxu Heavenly Palace.

Yes.

Why?

Shouldn't I be delivering it?

His Majesty just sent a secret order.

The artifacts will be delivered
by Yanxu Heavenly Palace's Yandan.

Matters pertaining to the Magical Pavilion

has always been carried out internally.

What are you and your sister

plotting this time?

You made His Majesty

think that Magical Pavilion couldn't even
handle such a small matter.

I did no such thing.

You didn't?

Then you better ask your sister.

What she stole

isn't just Magical Pavilion's job.

It's your job.

The slap just now?

It wasn't from me.

I did it for your sister.

Twins are always made up
of one strong and one weak.

I know you're useless.

But I thought

you should at least be stronger than Yandan.

But if my judgment is wrong,

I'll tell you right now.

Magical Pavilion doesn't accept rejects.

(Yandan.)

(Why do you want to deliver the artifacts?)

(What exactly are you doing?)

(You are well-versed with the palace tomes.)

(Common demons shouldn't
be a problem for you.)

(The patrol outside the palace
are under my command.)

(They are ready to interfere at any time.)

(The pearl hairpin you're wearing
has a surveillance function.)

(If the crook tries anything,)

(I will react immediately.)

(In order to include the Ziwei Bottle
in the damaged list,)

(there must be a spy within the Divine Realm.)

(The goal is to find out who it is.)

[Qianyun Palace]

I've brought the artifacts
from the Magical Pavilion to be burned.

Seven items in total.

Please check, Divine Official Yanchi.

Fairy Zhixi,
you have always been meticulous.

There's no need for me to worry.

You are on duty so late at night.

I asked the immortal attendants
to prepare tea.

Why don't you take a rest inside?

I'm only doing my duty.

It's no trouble at all.

As per the rules,

I have to monitor the incineration in person.

It's to ensure a smooth wrap-up
to the chief curator.

Sure.

Fire up the incinerator.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Get inside.

We caught her at the back door.

Are you all right?

What is going on?

Save your pathetic act.

You are Zhixi's sister.

Yandan of Yanxu Heavenly Palace.

You are not with Qianyun Palace.

Who are you?

Zhixi!

Watch out!

Run, Yandan!

You're no match for them.

You go, Zhixi!

Gosh, I'm amazing.

Yandan!

Lord Yingyuan!

Help!

Beat them up!

Hands off.

No, no, no!

Let go.

I'm not letting go.

No, no.

They're down.

How much longer are you going to hold on?

Where did you get that strength from?

None of your business.

Not my business?

You wish to become a martyr, right?

Better step up to the plate then.

No way.

You didn't see how strong they were.

If you had come any later,

I would've been turned to ashes.

That would be good.

At least I'd have quiet back.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Zhixi.

Are you okay?

Let me see.

I'm okay.

Don't you know?

Burning old artifacts was a ploy
from the demon spies.

They wanted to create poison

using the Ziwei Bottle and sacred tree sap.

I came here in your place

to keep you away from danger.

But you showed up anyway.

Thank you, Your Majesty,
for personally guiding Yandan,

helping her powers grow.

I'm truly grateful.

Personally guiding?

Well, she's naturally gifted.

I take no credit.

Thanks for the compliment, Your Majesty.

I will work hard.

Oh, right.

That Divine Official Yanchi played a trick.

The real Ziwei Bottle is in his sleeve.

Remember to check it.

Alright.

We will not get involved
with the investigation

of the spy.

I'm going to escort Zhixi back.

I'll take my leave, Your Majesty.

Let's go.

Come.

We grew up together.

Zhixi is the best at learning.

She has the strongest cultivation base.

Now,

Yandan has Lord Yingyuan's guidance.

Her power is swiftly improving.

I reckon she's upstaged Zhixi.

A pair of twins,

one strong, one weak.

I'm afraid

we mistook a chicken for a phoenix.

Who did you call a chicken?

Who is ungifted?

If you're so gifted,
how come you're not a Divine Official?

Why aren't you a Vice Curator?

If she's ungifted,

then you're born dumb.

Not only are you dumb,

but you're also evil.

How could you be so evil?

Trying to run?

I'm going to teach them a lesson.

Don't waste your breath.

Besides,

they're not wrong.

His Majesty said so.

I am the weak one.

Ignore what

that vile guy said.

You are the most talented

among the fairies.

You've attained divinity

and you're a Divine Official.

Who could be better than you?

But today,

I couldn't beat Divine Official Yanchi.

Whereas you subdued him easily.

I just got lucky.

I happened to read a few books.

If you were taught at Yanxu Heavenly Palace,

you'd be stronger than me.

You'd take him down in one blow.

I'm sure.

I'm not that lucky.

You should go.

No need to do more.

I don't want Yingdeng to call you out again.

But...

Alright.

Remember, Zhixi.

No matter what others say,

you're always the best in my heart.

You're my sister who will always protect me.

Don't think too much.

I'm off then.

Just ignore them.

Tell me if they're bullying you.

Are you okay?

I must have been unclear.

No need to rush.

Take it easy.

Master,

don't you know who she is?

She's very famous.

The Lotus descendant
who solved the Celestial Pool crisis.

It's a well-known story.

The whole Divine Realm knows it.

A pair of twins, one strong, one weak.

She must be the weak one.

Any other person
would get it after three tries.

Yet she's still struggling.

You weren't unclear.

She's just stupid.

That's right.

Enough.

No gossiping about others.

It's okay not to be gifted.

You could focus on listening.

No need to force application.

You could end up hurting yourself

if you don't fully understand.

That would be worse.

I'm not the weak one.

I can do it.

Zhixi.

Yesterday, I came across

numerous excerpts about fighting spirits

and demons at the Pavilion of Books.

It was really fun.

Do you want to go with me?

Yandan.

You mustn't skip class all the time.

No tutor would be willing to teach you

if you keep doing this.

Well, the tutors are so boring.

The excerpts are much more fun.

If you won't go,

I'm going to go myself.

Go on then.

There you go.

You're welcome.

[Magical Pavilion]

(All this time,)

(I trained day and night)

(and endured ridicule.)

(I gritted my teeth
and struggled to climb higher.)

(Finally, I made it to the Magical Pavilion.)

(I became the Vice Curator.)

(Divinity)

(is right within arm's reach.)

(I thought)

(hard work could change everything.)

(But I still couldn't escape)

(from the destiny I was born with.)

(Yandan.)

(You are naturally gifted.)

(Nothing is hard for you.)

(You'll never understand.)

Who's there?

Why are you sitting up there?

With your great power,

you won't injure yourself
jumping from that height.

Not only will you not be hurt,

but you will implicate me, the adorable

and innocent immortal attendant.

Don't do anything dumb.

One step.

What do you want?

What are you trying to do?

What can I do to you?

How about throwing tiles?

Well?

I won. Drink up.

More.

Go on, drink.

Drink.

Here, bottoms up.

I'm curious. Are high-ranking immortals
all weird,

or is it only you?

Flipping tortoises.

Throwing tiles.

Do other immortals do that too?

Don't you have any normal hobbies?

I remember.

You do.

Making me copy books,

ordering me to patch the belt,

forcing me to play chess.

Those are your impressive actions.

Nothing wrong with that.

Never mind being weird,

so long as you're happy.

Do I look like I'm unhappy?

I doubt there are happy immortals

who would simply flip tortoises.

I don't get it.

You're already the Sovereign Lord.

Why are you still not happy?

You've found out who the spy is.

The matter has been resolved.

You should be happy.

I worry

that trouble is brewing again

before it is resolved.

When you're insignificant,

you are able

to change things as you like.

For example, you.

Staging plays, playing pranks, making friends.

When you're in a position of power,

there are many things

that are beyond your control.

So you want to jump off the building?

Look at shooting stars.

Shooting stars?

Isn't that what mortals like to do?

They like to make wishes on shooting stars.

But they don't realize

that it's merely heavenly Star Setters

waving their duster around.

But they believe

that their wishes would come true.

So what about you?

What did you wish for?

Peace in the Six Realms.

Such a fake answer.

Who makes a wish

that's not for themselves?

Then you tell me.

What did you wish for?

Is it only for yourself?

Of course.

And for my sister and friends.

I will make a wish for them too.

As the Sovereign Lord,

are the Six Realms all you care about?

Don't you have anything
that you wish you could have?

Or someone whom you care about?

To me,

ensuring the well-being of the Six Realms

is the most important.

Apart from that,

there is no space for anything else.

Six Realms have stopped wars

and had peace for a long time.

Presently, the Demons are having an uprising.

They're plotting in the dark.

The moment war breaks out,

the hard-fought peace
that we've enjoyed for so long

will be gone.

What if other people
don't see your sacrifices?

Or perhaps forgotten like the Nine Fins Clan?

Or cast aside.

Will you still do it?

I'm not fighting for reputation.

Or to be remembered.

I fight to stop the war.

Now that I've witnessed life's end,

I do not wish to see

past events repeat themselves again.

Thankfully I was born in peaceful times.

I don't have to think about those things.

Sometimes,

you'll only understand
after you've experienced it.

But it's not bad being you.

A little immortal without worry.

You didn't have to go through all that.

You need not worry.

Let's just hope

the wish I made wasn't for naught.

Alright.

Enough of that.

You're putting so much effort into the play

all because

you wish to get the first prize
at the Celestial Pool Feast,

so that

His Supreme Majesty would bequeath
you a blessing, right?

Tell me then.

What is your honest wish?

To get a backer.

Am I not a good enough backer?

Your Majesty.

You are in a league of your own.

I am undeserving.

What I need is a backer

like my sister, Zhixi.

Once she attains divinity,

she will have to descend to earth
and endure suffering.

But Zhixi doesn't like the Mortal Realm.

So my wish is to ask His Supreme Majesty

to let me go down in place of Zhixi.

So when Zhixi becomes even more powerful,

I'd be able to go to her palace

and serve her.

To eat and drink for free.

You can eat and drink for free

at Yanxu Heavenly Palace too.

Why don't you want to stay?

To be honest,

I'm used to freedom.

I...

An order from His Supreme Majesty.

Sovereign Lord Yingyuan
is wanted at Yuqing Palace.

Please pass on the message.

Your Majesty.

How come you came from there?

You smell of alcohol.

I don't suppose you're drunk.

This might mar His Supreme Majesty's

good impression of you.

We caught the spy tonight

but the interrogation hasn't been going well.

I couldn't sleep

so I had some drinks.

I've restructured
the Heavenly Court's defense.

It still didn't seem adequate.

I was planning to report
to His Supreme Majesty tomorrow morning.

Your Majesty is thorough.

Immortal Envoy Tao Ziqi sent word.

His Supreme Majesty has learned about
Qianyun Palace's Chief Curator's

attempt at treason.

He is restless.

That's why he summoned you.

Some immortal canaries
have been visiting the palace.

They've made a nest on the roof.

Looks like being the Sovereign Lord
is not that fun.

Better to be a little immortal.

Make sure to stay vigilant at all times.

The Demon Realm is in turmoil.

The Heavenly Court's defense was restructured

in order to be prepared.

We don't know

what's going to happen.

We are brothers

who went through the War of Genesis together.

What else are you worried about?

If you ask me,

those officials and crooks locked up
in the Heavenly Prison

are unyielding.

If they won't split it,

just kill them.

I'll deliver their heads to the Demon Realm.

That's how we'll get to
the bottom of the ruse.

If something did happen,

the Heavenly Court
would have a valid reason to act.

Do you think it's funny?

Huanqin.

You were hot-headed and reckless
during the War of Genesis.

You kept offending His Supreme Majesty.

I thought after so long, you would've changed.

But who knew?

You're still as stubborn as ever.

If you're going to continue being reckless,

how can I be reassured of your descent?

Thanks for your concern, Your Majesty.

If the other fairies and immortals
of the Heavenly Court learn about this,

they will surely ostracize me.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Jidu Star Deity.

You.

Your Majesty is always planning,

managing the operations of the Heavenly Court.

A leisurely palace like Pixiang Hall

is honored to receive your attention

and added security.

We are grateful for your thoughtfulness.

Pixiang Hall?

Since when were you interested
in plays and opera?

An immortal attendant said I'm too uptight.

A bore.

Great.

I should find more common hobbies.

Not a bad idea.

With you more relaxed,

your subordinates can breathe better.

I need to pack my luggage for the descent.

Excuse me.

Huanqin.

Always think before you act.

If anything goes wrong,

send word back first.

Then plan countermeasures.

Got it.

So long-winded.

I'm off.
