[Immortal Samsara]

[Episode 46]

Dizhi is actually here.

We must take Dizhi away first.

If Yingyuan obtains this

and stabilizes his immortal power,

it will be bad for us.

I got careless.

Otherwise,

Yingyuan wouldn't have lived until today.

It's good that you know it now.

As its name indicates,

Dizhi can collapse mountains

and destroy lands.

This artifact has always been untraceable

and difficult to locate.

Even if they do find it and want to get it out,

it will turn this beautiful paradise

into ruins.

How would his friends allow him to do that?

That's right.

Dizhi can't be taken by force.

If Yingyuan tries to get it out by force,

his body will burst instantly and he will die.

It will implicate me.

I still have a few days left

before my Shared-Fate Spell is broken.

Lingjiang,

you shall go to the Mortal Realm now.

Kill him immediately when seven days are up.

All of the hardships we've endured while planning this

have led us to this point.

If things go sideways again...

If I can't kill Yingyuan,

I will kill myself to atone for it.

Who shall get Dizhi out?

Too many people in the Mortal Realm know that Yingyuan is not dead.

Those people are not to be feared of,

but if they really start making a fuss,

I'm afraid it will cause us much trouble too.

Don't worry.

I have his weak point in my hands.

There is someone who cares most about the glory of divinity.

and is bent on bringing honor to the Heavenly Realm.

It's time to give her a chance.

The Four Seas are peaceful,

and the Three Realms are thriving.

It's all thanks to all of you.

You are dismissed.

Your Supreme Majesty,

I have one more thing to report.

When my disciples were inspecting the Mortal Realm,

we found Sovereign Lord Yingyuan's artifact, Dizhi,

had fallen into Yelan Mountain, the colony of Spirit Clan.

I'm afraid that the spirits of Yelan Mountain would take advantage of it.

I implore Your Supreme Majesty to send someone to retrieve it.

That was harsh, Star Deity Taiyou.

I have heard that these years,

the spirits in Yelan Mountain have been managed well.

They do not disturb the mortals.

Yet why do you make them sound like

rebels with evil intentions?

Dizhi was lost in the Divine-Demon War.

It will collapse mountains and destroy lands if it's extracted by force.

It will bring great catastrophe to the Mortal Realm.

Zhixi,

you are the curator of the Magical Pavilion.

You are responsible for the maintenance and repair

of all artifacts.

What do you think about this?

Dizhi is an ancient divine artifact.

It's only right for the Heavenly Realm to retrieve it.

Celestial Deity Yueyao's concern is reasonable.

Fortunately, we have studied before

how to collect large artifacts.

I can lay out a magical array for the collection.

I can retrieve Dizhi

without causing too much damage

to Yelan Mountain.

Very well.

You are pure-hearted as I expected.

You know what I want well.

I shall entrust this to you.

You must retrieve Dizhi intact.

Seeing Dizhi will also relieve

my pain of losing Yingyuan.

I will not fail my mission.

Zhixi,

there is a matter that concerns many people.

It could have implicated you if I had told you.

That's why I have been keeping it from you.

In Yelan Mountain...

Luming.

Why are you chitchatting here?

I just saw Simu looking around for you.

Perhaps His Supreme Majesty is in need of your service.

All right.

I will go now.

You sent Luming away on purpose.

Do you wish to give me some advice?

You run the Magical Pavilion well, Fairy Zhixi.

And you are His Supreme Majesty's favourite.

Who am I to give you any advice?

The retrieval of the artifact

is an honorable and plum task.

This is a great honor bestowed to you by His Supreme Majesty.

I guess after you get Dizhi back,

your divine rank

will be promoted again.

But there is a hidden concern

under this plum task if you think about it.

I don't know if I should say it.

Just speak your mind, Star Deity.

There's a great story about you cutting out your heart to save your master.

But the Heavenly Realm was once abuzz with rumors

that you saved your master

because you were in love with him.

Sovereign Lord Qingli has passed away.

This...

is a slanderous statement.

Sovereign Lord Yingyuan only cared about the world.

I have nothing but respect and admiration for him.

His Supreme Majesty has already used the Severing Cord

to prove our innocence.

But Severing Cord can only cut off mutual love,

not unrequited love.

You...

My words may not be pleasant to the ear,

but I said them with your best interests in mind.

Rumor has it that in Yelan Mountain,

there are many spirits that beguile people.

If you are beguiled by them

and fail to retrieve Dizhi,

when word reaches the Heavenly Realm,

there will be speculation that you were distracted by love.

His Supreme Majesty will be furious.

Immortals mustn't fall in love.

I am well aware of that.

Everything I do

is to relieve His Supreme Majesty's burdens

and takes up the responsibility as the curator of the Magical Pavilion

without considering my self-interest.

I will never give others the opportunity to slander me.

You are the most ambitious fairy indeed.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be holding

a high-ranking position at a such young age.

You even turned your own sister in

for your divine rank.

I hope you will also be able to tell the priority

and make the right choice this time.

Don't let your years of hard work go to waste.

It's not working.

The Other Eye can't enter his body.

If we knew that hosting the wedding

would aggravate Mr. Tang's illness,

we would not have imposed him.

Zilin and I pushed it too hard.

We fail to feed him any medicine

and pass him any spiritual power.

What should we do?

Now,

his immortal power has overflowed from his torso.

Within a day,

his immortal power will burst out of his body and kill him.

Let me give it a try with the Taisu Scriptures.

No.

His body is overloaded with immortal power.

If this goes on,

-I'm afraid you will get hurt. -I'm not afraid of getting hurt.

Tangzhou's meridians are blocked.

Taisu Scriptures won't work on him.

That mysterious man sealed

all his meridians with one blow.

There are 81 moves in Taisu Scriptures.

I don't believe none of these moves can save him.

Yandan...

No need to talk me out of it.

I have made up my mind.

Yandan!

Yandan,

are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'm okay now.

-Yandan... -Yandan...

You can't save him by doing this.

You're only hurting yourself.

Yandan,

don't hurt yourself anymore.

I know you guys want to protect me,

but please let me save him.

Could you please let me try it?

Yandan...

Yumo,

let Yandan try again.

If it still doesn't work,

we'll think of another way.

Stop!

I'd like to try again.

Yandan...

Yandan.

We can't let her keep doing this.

Take Tangzhou to the hot spring now.

The hot spring will repair his spiritual power

and prevent his body from being burned.

All right.

All right.

It really is here.

(Zhixi,)

(there is a matter that concerns many people.)

(It could have implicated you if I had told you.)

(That's why I have been keeping it from you.)

(In Yelan Mountain...)

Is there really something going on

in this mountain?

I must find out the truth.

Sovereign Lord Yingyuan?

He is still alive?

(Why is his celestial vest torn?)

(His mortal body)

(can't withstand such ramming immortal power.)

(If his immortal body is blown up by his immortal spirit,)

(his primordial spirit will vanish.)

(Stone-Withering Palm?)

(What a malicious move.)

(All I can do now is apply some Spirit-Cleansing Ointment on him)

(to help stabilize his immortal power a little.)

(Given what Taiyou said to me earlier,)

(did he already know Sovereign Lord Yingyuan is here?)

(Was he implying that I shouldn't help him?)

(Have I ruined his trial?)

(What is Sovereign Lord Yingyuan doing in the land of spirits?)

(If I take him back to the Heavenly Realm first,)

(will it create more rumors)

(and tarnish his reputation?)

Yandan?!

Why is there stardust from the Heavenly Realm?

(Could it be...)

Zhixi!

Zhixi!

Zhixi!

I know it's you.

Come out!

Why won't you come out to see me?

Zhixi!

You once said

you would always protect me.

You would never leave me.

You broke your promise once.

Are you going to break it again?

You said

you'd never forgive me.

Now,

I don't have the audacity to face you.

If you really didn't want to see me,

then why did you save me

from getting hurt

when I was about to fall just now?

You lost your immortal life

and fell into the Mortal Realm because of me.

Even if I saved you a million times,

it still wouldn't be enough to make up for what I did to you.

I'm not worthy to stand in front of you,

and I'm not worthy

to be your sister.

Stop crying.

You look ugly

like a dirty kitten.

I remember when you were little,

no matter how Master chastised you,

how those immortal officials mocked you,

slandered you,

you never cried.

I knew at that time

that my sister

was the best immortal official of the Four-Leaf Lotus Clan.

Now that all your wishes have come true,

why are you crying?

I indeed got everything I dreamed of.

Divine rank, immortal position,

admiration of the immortals,

Heavenly Emperor's trust.

But I only realized

even though I had got everything,

all this is meaningless

without you by my side.

The day you jumped off the bridge,

half of me died with you.

I no longer live for myself

for the rest of my life.

I put up with hardships

and focus on my cultivation.

only to repay the pain you have suffered

a hundred times to Yingdeng.

What goes around comes around.

She got her retribution.

It's my turn now.

I didn't want to hurt you,

yet you died because of me.

You jumped off the bridge in despair that day.

It was all because of my mistake.

This is Beak-Breaking Dagger.

One stab with it can hurt the immortal soul.

The pain will last for a century.

If it can alleviate even a little of your hatred,

no matter how you punish me,

I will accept it.

Do you really mean it?

Look

what this is.

I've collected all the stars.

Your punishment is,

from now on,

only death

will do us

part.

Will you still

take me as your sister?

Well, of course.

What about you?

Do you ever regret having me as your sister?

Never.

You had cultivated diligently for a thousand years,

while I only learned how to have fun.

You did all of the jobs

that I didn't want to do.

When I made a mistake, you covered for me,

you shared my burden,

and took the blame for me.

You left me all the good food

and nice stuff.

At that time,

you didn't even abandon me.

Now that you've made just one little mistake,

how could I possibly abandon you?

When I was imprisoned,

I was really mad at you.

But all these years,

I've really missed you too.

I met Yingdeng in the Mortal Realm.

I killed her myself.

Am I awesome?

Come to think of it,

you did get revenge

for what happened to me.

I have experienced a lot

in my years in the Mortal Realm.

I understand the inner demons that bothered you back then.

I've forgiven you long ago

for everything you did in the past.

Zhixi,

we, the Four-Leaf Lotus Clan, are linked by

our spiritual roots.

You will always be my dearest family,

Zhixi.

Yandan.

I miss you so much.

Let's never part again.

Yandan.

I can't believe you met

Sovereign Lord Yingyuan again in the Mortal Realm.

Such an affinity

is very rare.

Zhixi,

now that you are the curator of the Magical Pavilion,

you must know a lot of things.

Can you tell me how I can

retrieve the divine artifact Dizhi?

You are looking for the divine artifact Dizhi?

Is it to save His Majesty?

Twenty years ago,

the Heavenly Realm announced that he died in his trial.

How come I just saw him in the hot spring

with his celestial vest torn

and a Stone-Withering Palm injury?

You are smart.

I'm sure you know why.

Someone in the Heavenly Realm doesn't want him back.

(Could it be Star Deity Taiyou?)

He has lost his memory of the Divine Realm.

All his powers are gone,

leaving him a mere mortal.

Now he has been hit by the Stone-Withering Palm.

making his immortal power surge.

It's hard for it to die down.

Without Dizhi to stabilize his immortal spirit,

in a few days,

he will die a suspicious death in the Mortal Realm.

But there is a law in the Heavenly Realm.

No one is allowed to interfere with the immortals' trials.

And my mission in the Mortal Realm this time

is to take Dizhi back.

According to the rules,

I should first take it back

and report His Majesty's injury

before I come again to rescue him.

His life is at stake now.

He doesn't have time to wait for the procedures.

Besides, the perpetrator is in the Heavenly Realm.

If it is brought back to the Heavenly Realm,

he will die for sure.

Zhixi,

I know you don't want to break the rules.

How about this?

You show me how

and I'll do it.

I won't implicate your divine rank.

How is my divine rank more important than you?

Yandan,

even if I tell you, it's useless.

Coming to the Mortal Realm for trials,

he can only return to his place

in the premise of preserving his immortal spirit

and passing all the trials.

His Majesty's celestial vest is torn.

Without the divine artifact to repair it,

he won't be able to last until the completion of the trial.

But to find Dizhi,

I need to set up a magical array in the mountain

and look everywhere for it.

It will take at least 24 hours.

Given His Majesty's current condition,

he won't last until then.

Unless...

Unless what?

Unless His Majesty

dies once.

His Majesty has one last trial left,

the death trial.

And the divine artifact belongs to His Majesty.

Divine artifacts are protective of their masters.

If the divine artifacts

are within ten li of their masters and their lives are in danger,

they will sense it

and get back to their masters.

I understand now.

That means

only when Tangzhou is dying

will the divine artifact Dizhi return

and the Stone-Withering Palm injury be cured.

By then,

he will complete his trial

and restore his divinity.

This is the only way.

But now,

His Majesty's immortal spirit is about to burst.

If his body is damaged,

he will lose his immortal spirit.

By then,

even if we find Dizhi,

his soul will still disperse.

All will be futile.

I won't let his body be damaged.

What are you going to do?

Are you going to use the remaining half of your Four-Leaf Lotus heart to save him?

You mustn't do that.

There are hundreds of immortals

and thousands of heavenly physicians in the Heavenly Realm,

I'm certain they will figure something out

to save him.

Why do you have to sacrifice yourself?

Zhixi,

do you still not understand?

He has been harmed several times

by people from the Heavenly Realm.

Before we get to the bottom of this,

we mustn't get anyone from the Heavenly Realm involved.

and you can't tell anyone of them.

Have you ever thought about yourself?

If you cut out your heart again,

you'll lose your primordial spirit and your life.

He ended up like this

to save me and my friends.

I will repay him

with half of my heart.

When His Majesty is recovered and returns to his place,

your relationship will be back to where it used to be.

Why would a high and mighty Sovereign Lord

turn his back on the Three Realms

for a petty immortal attendant like you?

Didn't you already try it once

900 years ago

and get your answer?

Why do you repeat the same mistake?

I used to think

love is two people

spending the rest of their lives together.

But now,

having started my life afresh,

I've not only learned

how to write a moving play,

but I've also understood what true love is.

True love

is allowing him to achieve his dreams

and protecting everything he cherishes.

Zhixi,

what is the meaning of this?

Yandan,

I'm sorry.

I know you want to save His Majesty.

I can break the rules

and take His Majesty back to the Heavenly Realm now.

He has a prestigious status

and is respected by many.

He will be safe and sound.

But you are different.

I've already lost you once.

I can't afford that again.

Zhixi.

Listen to me, Zhixi.

He has given up his status as an immortal.

He won't return to the Heavenly Realm with you.

If you force him to go with you,

he will confront you with a fierce fight.

But given his current condition,

he won't survive this.

Don't worry.

He'll go back with me willingly.

Zhixi.

Zhixi!

(He is so badly injured.)

(He mustn't die within the seven-day limit.)

(I should find out how much time he has left to live.)

He has the Asura Totem.

Is he...

one of my Asura Clan too?

(That fairy from the Heavenly Realm has returned.)

(She must not see this totem.)

(It will be a serious offense)

(if I kill one of our own.)

(This is a big deal.)

(I'd better go back and report it first.)

Tangzhou?

Tangzhou,

you're finally awake.

I was worried sick.

Are you all right?

My immortal spirit...

Your celestial vest is torn.

You passed out because of weakness.

A celestial deity happened to pass by just now.

He protected your immortal spirit with his immortal power.

But he said

you need to go to the Nine Heavens as soon as possible

to have the heavenly aura

to keep you alive.

A celestial deity from where?

Why did he help me?

Your real form is a Sovereign Lord.

No matter what difficulties you encounter,

the immortal will always come to help you.

They just taught me the way

to ascend to the Nine Heavens.

We should not waste any more time.

Let's go to the Nine Heavens now.

Come on.

What is this?

How come I've never seen it before?

Inside is the immortal power from the Nine Heavens.

It's a gift from the celestial deity just now.

It is because of him

that I'm able to open the path to the Nine Heavens.

You once said all your experiences in the Heavenly Realm

were heartbreaking and you didn't want to go back.

Why are you so eager to go back now?

Because I want to

catch the stars.

The immortals in the sky like to spread their immortal power,

like a rain of stars.

If I can catch it,

my spiritual power will grow.

I always love to find a protector.

How can I miss such a good thing?

Come on.

Tangzhou,

I haven't seen this in a long time.

Come back to the Nine Heavens

and watch the stars with me.

(Zhixi,)

(I knew you wouldn't let me do this.)

(However, you've cultivated for hundreds of years.)

(Your immortal power is stronger than mine.)

(I had to play you at your own game,)

(pretending to have been trapped by you.)

(and finding a way to get out with your artifact.)

It's a good imitation

but you are not her.

What gave me away?

The way you walk and your demeanor are different from hers.

Not to mention

she once crushed a pool of stars that I gave her.

The real her

will never ask me to watch stars with her.

But I indulged myself once

and watched the stars with her.

Now that I'm dying,

that's my most beautiful memory.

Tell me,

who are you exactly?

Like you,

I care about her too.

So, today,

I have to take you back to the Heavenly Realm

even if it might hurt both of us.

Zhixi!

Tangzhou,

don't hurt my sister.

Yandan, what are you doing here?

Zhixi,

if you insist on taking him away,

will you let me stay here

and say a few more words to him?

I have some unfinished business with him.

I'm sorry, Yandan.

I didn't know you have a sister.

I thought she was the making of a Puppet Spell.

That's why I pointed my sword at her.

You could tell that it was someone else,

not me.

Why?

I see my loved one

not only with my eyes,

but also with my heart.

You said that you love me,

but what proof do you have?

Now

I have nothing left.

Only this sword

can serve as the token of my love.

Fine.

How about your life?

Yandan.

Zhixi,

you lied to me once.

I have to get even.

You are now tied by my spiritual root.

If you want to escape,

you will have to cut it off.

But that will turn me back into my original form.

You won't hurt me,

right?

Yandan,

don't do anything rashly.

Once you do this,

there will be no turning back.

You said that you love me.

Fine.

Answer me then.

Will you give up your life

for me?

I will.
