[Episode 16]

The talisman isn't on her.

Then it's someone else?

It's too late to go find them.

The Guild Master has already lost his awareness.

If we can't wake him up, he'll turn into an Emblem Puppet.

If you just help Ghost Puppet Sect

- I promise I'll do anything you ask. - All right.

You're awake!

Are you feeling better?

Being able to sleep in, being lazy...

- I feel much better. - You don't say.

You nearly died.

Why are you crying? I didn't die.

I'll cry if I want, it's none of your business.

I'm afraid I'll make you gag if I exaggerate

but I can't bear to understate it either.

You still plan on sending Lin Dong to the Tower Battle?

Who knows? Maybe this experience has filled him with guilt

so he'll work harder and train harder.

- That's good news. - You aren't afraid of being wrong?

That you've chosen the wrong person?

Master Yan.

The disciples have been cured.

I'm returning the Nirvana Heart to you.

Thank goodness we have you.

How are your injuries?

They're a part of my duty.

However... the successor has lost the Ancestral Emblem.

Do you still plan on designating him as successor?

Don't blame Lin Dong.

- I'm at fault. - How is it your fault?

For an Earthly Yuan Stage cultivator to survive so many obstacles...

He's very fortunate.

As for the other disciples, it's my fault for not caring for them properly.

How is that your fault?

Ghost Puppet Sect is full of tricks. There was only so much we could do.

We have to get our revenge eventually.

As you can see, I'm gravely injured.

You wouldn't leave me to get the Ancestral Emblem back on my own, right?

Why are you spacing out?

Are you afraid?

Says who?

Am I that kind of person?

No ivory comes from the mouth of a dog.

I came to console you. You're so ungrateful!

- I am afraid. - What for? You have me.

Father is gone.

I couldn't cure Qing Tan...

or be the man my father anticipated.

I also lost the Ancestral Emblem and caused everyone to get hurt.

I really wish... that everything in that illusion was real.

I wish reality... was the illusion.

You wish for this to be a dream?

Then you should dream of Ling Qing Zhu.

What's the use of watching the sunset with me in the cold?

I suppose this is punishment.

The gods gave you such a wonderful gift and you're calling it a punishment?

You can just keep being punished then.

I guess the fairy maiden looks down on people as weak as me.

Maybe it's not just your powers that seem weak to her.

Maybe it's that you're ugly too.

You're blushing.

What do you mean?

If I'm such a ugly freak, why would you blush?

Ugly freak!

Your antics have made me feel much better.

I was lucky enough to survive. I can't be looked down upon now.

Thanks for your support!

Stay right there!

I have something for you.

This is...

a treasure from the ancient tomb?

It's from the dead cultivator in the tomb.

You kowtowed to him, so naturally I had to help you bring it out.

I'm sure this will help with your cultivation. Catch!

It's a deal then. When Master Yan is better, I'm going to apologize to him.

I'll have him teach me more moves.

After I become powerful, the fairy maiden...

My fairy maiden will definitely see me in a new light.

When the time comes, I'll be able to support you!

Train well.

Old man, you didn't think I stole it from you, did you?

Fairy Maiden... I go where you go.

Let me make it clear, I took it for Lin Dong!

Don't forget, he paid his respects to you.

It seems that I have natural talent.

It's bitter.

Xiao Yan.

You should turn in if you're tired.

No. Lin Dong told me to stay with you.

Let's go.

I don't want to go back to Mystical Item House.

The guild's disciples treat me so kindly...

but after everything that happened, I'm sure they think of me as a freak.

I don't.

Neither does Lin Dong.

He has a lot on his mind right now.

He doesn't have the time to deal with me.

Xiao Yan.

Am I an incredibly burdensome person?

Yes.

Lang Tian...

where are you?

Are you doing well?

Senior.

- Why are you... - Ghost Puppet Sect is sly.

You had a talisman inside you, turning you into an Emblem Puppet.

Senior Mu... you saved me.

Unfortunately, there are limits to my abilities.

Teng Lei took Lin Dong's stone talisman.

How could that be?

Why was I the only one rescued?

What happened to Lin Dong?

He...

Naturally, Emblem Master Guild saved him.

You, on the other hand...

I warned you hundreds of times to not act rashly.

Yet you're determined to act on your own.

And Lin Dong has such a high place in your heart.

The talisman of love, how compassionate of you.

You'd be mocked if people found out.

- Senior Mu, I-- - Never mind.

Your plan hasn't failed completely.

Is there a way to remedy the situation?

The fact that this talisman was on you

gives you a chance to earn Lin Dong's trust.

You want to take advantage of his trust?

Emblem Master Guild should have clues

on the whereabouts of the other Ancestral Emblems.

I want you to go back to Mystical Item House and find out.

- What about the Absorption Emblem? - I can handle Ghost Puppet Sect.

Rest assured, I will help you.

But you must bear in mind...

don't show such clemency in the future.

Lin Lang Tian!

Are you all right? How did you survive?

Xiao Yan and I couldn't find you!

I was rescued by a fellow Sect member and didn't want to worry you all

so I rushed back.

Is this a place where you can come and go as you please?

Master Yan!

Old man, you seem much better. Are you all right?

I'm fine.

My comrade managed to survive. Won't you show him some leniency?

Master Yan nearly died saving your life this time.

Don't assume that you're off the hook.

It's all my fault.

I dragged everyone into it.

- And I lost the-- - Our lives are worth nothing.

- We don't need your apology. - Xuan Su!

You're at fault too!

If you hadn't harbored your doubts, you wouldn't have been susceptible.

Master Yan, internal skirmishes aren't important in front of the enemy.

Since when have outsiders been allowed to voice their opinions here?

Pardon me.

Lin Lang Tian, you don't need to speak up for me.

Master Yan.

You don't need to criticize Senior Xuan either.

It's my fault for being so weak.

I understand the difficulty of being successor now.

I won't beg for your forgiveness, but I beg for another chance.

Please let me avenge you and everyone else.

I can't allow others to look down on Emblem Master Guild.

You're really determined to avenge us?

Master Yan, he catches on quickly.

There may be hope for us at the Tower Battle in half a month, after all.

The Tower Battle? What is that?

The Emblem Master Tower is forged by the Spirit Energy of former Guild Masters.

Every year, it's reproduced.

At the apex of the tower lies the symbol of the most elite Emblem Master.

The Ancestral Stone.

The battle begins at the first level and gets more strenuous the higher you go.

It's extremely dangerous, and no one has ever reached the top.

In all these years, no one has succeeded in obtaining the stone.

So I struck a deal with Ghost Puppet Sect.

If we win this time, they'll join us to fight the Yimo.

If we lose, our guild will merge with their sect and I will quit.

This guild will cease to exist.

If that happens, you're free to do as you wish and return to Qingyang.

Hold on.

What do you mean... us... and them?

Is Senior Xuan saying that you're sending me to retrieve the stone?

- That's right. - That's right.

That is so dangerous! Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Oh, I get it.

You're both playing me. You want to swindle me again?

- I don't have time for that. - Are you all right?

I'm fine.

It's not dangerous. Just a battle between disciples.

How is it not?

I don't have any of Emblem Master Guild's abilities!

And the stone talisman was taken.

How am I supposed to go to battle?

Who was the one that just said...

"I won't ask for forgiveness, just a chance to prove myself!"

Who said that?

Hold on! Fairy Maiden...

- Will you still be my protector? - I'm just afraid that next time...

I'm the one who will lose my life.

Fairy Maiden, I know you look down on me because I'm weak.

But I promise to train hard!

One day, I'll surprise you.

Master Yan! I'll learn. I'll learn it all.

I'll repent for my mistakes.

People used to see me as an ant.

I want them all to know that I'm not a coward!

I wasted so much breath persuading you, but all it took was a word from her.

I see now.

- You're just a little lover boy. - What do you mean?

I'm clearly thinking of everyone.

If you have to call me a lover boy... you should say that I'm a big lover boy.

Master Yan, you haven't recovered yet.

I can train Lin Dong for now.

You?

I'm willing to represent Yuan Gate Sect

and support Lin Dong in the Tower Battle.

I'm so dead!

Sounds like a good plan.

Prepare yourselves. We don't have much time, so training begins tomorrow.

Why come here instead of returning to Yuan Gate after your rescue?

I was worried about you.

Say what? Don't tell me you plan on using me again.

But bear in mind

don't show such clemency next time.

You're right.

My mission was to get close to you

to get clues on the whereabouts of the other Ancestral Emblems.

But... something hilarious happened during this attempt.

The talisman of love ended up inside me.

The talisman of love will be found on the one who cares about Lin Dong most.

Why was the talisman of love in Lin Lang Tian?

Master Yan, why did you let Lin Lang Tian stay?

Then... what do you think of him?

He's a disciple of a reputed sect, yet he has so many secrets.

You could say he has ulterior motives, but he also genuinely cares for Lin Dong.

He's a difficult man to read.

- Lin Dong has a lot of dumb luck. - What makes you say that?

Think about it.

Emblem Master Guild and Nine Heavens Purity Palace have an agreement.

But he has connections to both Dao and Yuan Gate Sect disciples.

He has three huge sects standing behind him, isn't that dumb luck?

What if Lin Lang Tian does have ulterior motives?

It doesn't matter.

Disaster and happiness are interdependent.

Keeping him by Lin Dong's side will encourage the boy.

I've aged. I envy their youth.

You're so boring.

Is it that hard to say that you care about me?

I don't care about you.

I'm just making sure that Uncle Xiao's genes are passed on.

I apologize for causing harm to you and your guild.

You harmed me, I harmed you.

You misunderstood him, he misunderstood me.

I hurt him, he hurt you.

After our close brush with death, none of it seems to matter anymore.

After I injured your father back then, I was filled with regret.

After he died...

I was determined to protect you and not let you get into this mess.

What did I say? It's all in the past.

You've eaten at my home, haven't you?

My father had this saying.

Some bitterness can be swallowed with a cup of wine.

Some wine is bitter even after you swallow it.

Sometimes, you have to be more easygoing.

Chase after some girls, help some friends.

Enjoy yourself.

I've carried so many burdens for so long that I can't manage it anymore.

It's just getting the Ancestral Emblems and killing the Yimo.

Beginning tomorrow, I'll be studying the guild's secret manuals.

Then, I'll win the Tower Battle and find the other Emblems.

You and I can be heroes together.

We may belong to different sects

but I believe... that we're walking the same path!

We don't have to walk the same path. The road ahead is dangerous.

I can walk it alone.

Nine Echoes Exploding Fist! Every punch shall hit its target!

A punch to the left! A punch to the right!

Come on.

A punch to the left! A punch to the right!

- Come here! - A punch to the left!

Kill the Yimo!

Kill the Yimo...

Kill the Yimo.

This talisman of love is a chance to gain Lin Dong's trust.

Emblem Master Guild must have clues on where the other Emblem are.

I want you to return to Mystical Item House to find out.

You be the hero, I'll be your brother.

That will make me a hero too!

Lang Tian!

You came?

Qing Tan? Where did you go?

Why didn't I see you around earlier?

I didn't dare to come back.

I only came because Xiao Yan told me you were here.

Lang Tian, how are your injuries?

- I've been pretty worried. - I'm fine. You on the other hand...

why do you look like you've suffered some great wrong?

- It's nothing. - Did someone bully you?

- Why didn't Lin Dong help you? - Don't blame him, he almost died!

He barely has time to care for himself.

I just bring disaster.

When Lin Dong was trapped in his spirit domain...

I used the spell you taught me to help Master Yan with his enchantment.

But I lost control.

The heavens are cold. If Yin energy is strong, Yang energy is needed.

The spirit is split into Yin and Yang.

If Yang cannot be found, Yin is permissible.

As a result, the disciples were gravely injured and may not recover fully.

I didn't do it on purpose!

So many people would give anything for the poison you possess.

It could harm people, but it can also save people!

Take Lin Dong for example. He only came back with the help of your power.

Was it really because of me?

A quick sword can injure people

but the person who wields it can use it to protect everyone.

Qing Tan, you are the wielder of that sword.

But how can I wield it properly?

Don't worry.

I'll help you find a way.

I give you my word.

- Will you help Lin Dong too? - He's my friend.

- And he's... - What?

And your brother.

Open up.

Open up!

This bastard! As if stealing the Ancestral Emblem wasn't enough...

he has to keep messing with it! He's worse than Lin Dong!

I'm suffocating!

I need to figure out a way to teach him a lesson.

You've learned a lot of emblem magic lately, huh?

I have.

But I've yet to understand the concepts behind it.

Everything in the world consists of vital energy.

Objects are the physical forms of vital energy.

Vital energy is the soul of all objects.

For example, Yang Yuan stones are precious

and can be cultivated into Yang Yuan pills because of their Yang energy.

Interesting, isn't it?

Mountains are mountains, water is water, and clouds are clouds

because they consist of different kinds of vital energy.

Emblem Masters collect these different vital energies

and turn them into talismans.

All talismans consist of different things, so they have different effects.

These inconspicuous talismans have been given the powers of many objects.

For example, this steel sword before you.

It's engraved with a talisman that increases its sharpness and toughness.

If you reach a certain cultivation stage, it can overturn rivers and seas.

When battling, it can draw the vital energy of Heavens and Earth.

Then people are people because of vital energy as well?

The first rule of the Emblem Master Guild

is that you may not retrieve vital energy from the living.

Emblem Masters must be virtuous in their cultivation.

Respect for life is the epitome of morality.

All right, I got it. I don't need any more lectures.

Teach me to fight!

Understanding isn't enough. You have to remember it!

And remembering isn't enough. You have to live up to it!

If you don't, I'll spank you!

You would dare to spank the Guild Master?

Yes, if he does something wrong.

- You... - The most important thing we teach--

is memorizing the chants for the casting of talismans.

That's easy. What's so difficult about that?

"Easy? What's so difficult?"

This is the entirety of the Spiritual Movement Manual.

It's the essence of our cultivation.

- All this? - It isn't much.

It's only hundreds of talismans that can be paired off at random

for a total of 9,981 combinations.

You must memorize them all.

In half a month?

Forget using them.

- It's impossible to even memorize. - And yet you must.

Aside from that, you must also cultivate your vital energy.

- Take it out. - Take what out?

The treasure Lady Ying gave you.

This useless thing must be fake.

I wasted so much time with it.

Who's there?

Who is the individual that's fated to possess this Ancestral Emblem?

I'm Teng Lei, Young Sect Master of Ghost Puppet Sect.

I obtained this emblem by coincidence.

I suppose it's fate. Who is the great individual that resides within?

Can you reveal yourself to me?

I am a thread of the Emblem Ancestor's shattered soul.

I have waited many years for the destined one.

You have obtained the Absorption Ancestral Emblem

so you must be the chosen one.

I shall pass my techniques onto you.

Please enlighten me!

If you seek to cultivate with the Ancestral Emblem

you must first kowtow to the Emblem Ancestor.

Bow.

You must make noise with your head.

Now that you've bowed, you may call me Grandmaster Emblem Ancestor.

Grandmaster!

- Grandmaster Emblem Ancestor!- Heed my commands.

First...

Look directly at the sun!

Lift your head. Stare directly into the sunlight.

Absorb the sun's Yang energy.

Rid your body of impurities.

Lift your head!

Stare directly into the sunlight!

This spear is called the Ancient Earthly Scales Spear.

It is a high-grade spirit treasure.

This... is a high-grade spirit treasure?

I took it to be a useless staff. It won't snap in half, will it?

Can you open your eyes a little? This is a treasure!

Look over there!

There are three Ancient Earthly Scales Spear techniques.

The Fish Scales Spear, the Furious Python Spear

and the Dragon Spear.

The Dragon Spear is extremely formidable.

Only the Nirvana Heart cultivator knew it.

He sealed all three techniques into this ancient spear.

You... step back.

That's berserk! I must try it.

Focus your Spirit Power at the point of the spear

and your Yuan Power will be beckoned into formation.

The Fish Scales Spear is the lowest grade.

From now on, you will memorize talismans in the morning

and practice wielding the spear at noon.

Half a month will fly by.

Half a month, old man...

Do you think I can do it?

With your current abilities...

we will lose the Tower Battle without a doubt.

Take advantage of the Nirvana Heart you obtained from the ancient tomb.

It will help you reach the Heavenly Yuan Stage.

Aside from that, your skills and luck are all up to you.

Do you see that? It's bigger!

I told you, martial arts doesn't turn its back on the determined.

Again!

- You move too flamboyantly. - There are requirements for that?

Again!

Grandmaster... is this good enough?

I really can't open my eyes. The light burns!

Now, place your left leg at the center of your waist.

Let your Yuan Power surge!

Grandmaster, I'll try again.

- Let me try again.- Do the same with your right leg.

Grandmaster, I'm a dunce.

I can get my left leg up, but about my right leg... how...

If you wish to cultivate with the Ancestral Emblem

you must put in effort and use your brain!

If you don't lift both your feet off the ground

how will you rid yourself of ground impurities?

Don't whine, cultivation is most important.

- Right.- Pour Yuan Power into the Emblem!

Grandmaster, I'll just keep staring at the sun.

I see now.

Lin Dong treats me so much better.

No, I have to go back and check things out.

What is that brat doing?

Grandmaster. Grandmaster.

How much longer do I have to do this?

Don't you know that elevating stages requires five to ten years?

The Tower Battle is in a few days!

How will you do it without the Nirvana Heart?

If you're afraid that I'll die...

then protect me for life.

Emblem Master Guild has plenty of potential Guild Masters!

We don't need you anymore. You can leave Yan City!
