[The Legends of Changing Destiny]

Episode 7

Fengling! Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Rocky, look.

I got the wolf-fang grass.

Yang Lan, look.

It is the wolf-fang grass.

There are more up there.

Take this.

Yang Lan!

Move!

Rocky!

Rocky!

Fengling!

Fengling!

Yang Lan,

why did you

and Tenth Martial Brother

go to Kuilei Canyon?

It's none of your business.

You don't need to know.

You almost died!

And you still won't tell me why?

I've been to everywhere in Wankong Mountain

besides Kuilei Canyon,

so I dragged Rocky there with me.

I was just curious.

Really?

Believe it or not.

Either way, I'm not going there again.

You're still recovering.

You should stay in your room.

Why did you go out?

Am I still your master?

Rocky...

Rocky...

Rocky, don't go! It's dangerous!

Rocky!

Fengling.

Rocky.

Rocky.

There, there. It's all right now.

We've left Kuilei Canyon.

Thank you for everything you've done for me.

[Liquor]

Here you go.

All right.

Here.

This tastes terrible.

Make do with it.

Right this way, sirs.

What would you like?

Order anything you want.

I'm in a good mood.

This meal is on me.

Thank you, Miss.

But we'll pay

for our own orders.

I don't think that will do.

You've been following me all this way.

If I, Third Princess of White Sea,

couldn't even treat you to some food and liquor,

that would be too inconsiderate of me.

Others might think.

that I can't even afford to feed

my crustacean soldiers.

I would lose face

if word got out about this.

Third Princess,

since you know who we are,

please return to the White Sea with us.

I haven't had enough fun yet.

And you lot.

If you want to pretend to be mortals next time,

get rid of that ocean stench

of yours

first.

Apologies, Your Highness.

I didn't know I was this good.

If I had known,

I wouldn't have snuck out.

I could've walked right out there,

and no one would be able to stop me.

Well, I'm off.

I've improved so much. in only a few years

of learning from my husband.

It's true that one takes on the behavior of one's company indeed.

This is an extra merit

of marrying a god of war.

Come and take a look.

How beautiful.

It's beautiful.

(So this is the Qixi Festival of the mortals?)

(This is fun.)

(I wonder)

(if there are young ladies)

(weaving in their courtyards.)

[Temple of Yue Lao]

[Temple of Yue Lao]

(Yue Lao's temple is so popular.)

(Let's check it out.)

Hold on to me, dear.

Be careful, dear.

All right.

"Dear"?

Thank you for granting us this union, Yue Lao.

This is all wrong.

You don't belong with each other!

Stop praying to him!

What's wrong?

Ignore him, my dear.

Look at her.

She should be your wife!

You! You two should be a couple!

Stop praying!

Yue Lao is a liar!

Yue. Lao is a liar!

He only breaks up couples in love!

Stop praying to him!

You horrible Yue Lao!

You're a liar who breaks up couples!

I'll destroy your temple!

Dear!

Third Princess,

there are no grudges between you and me.

Why are you causing trouble in my temple?

You despicable old man! Liar!

I'll tear this place down if I want.

If you continue,

I will not hold back

out of regard for the King of White Sea anymore.

Who cares?

Just you wait, Yao Cunxin!

Come at me whenever!

Cunxin...

Where's Yang Yan?

Keep searching.

It's beautiful.

Indeed.

Look at how beautiful it is.

Yes.

(No matter how many are against it, )

(no matter how many try to break them up, )

(two lovers will find their way together)

(if their love is strong enough.)

(Besides, my lover and I)

(are a match made in heaven.)

(We've been separated for now, )

(but I believe)

(we'll be reunited soon.)

(We'll be together for thousands and thousands of years.)

(We'll have lots)

(of little Yang Yans together.)

(We'll show that Heavenly Emperor and my father.)

Please return to White Sea, Third Princess.

It's you.

You're the one who attacked my husband

at the Nine Heavenly Gate.

The Heavenly Court is heartless.

You're aiding and abetting the evil!

Prohibiting romance between immortals?

What nonsense is that? Such a law should've been done away with ages ago!

You're a blockhead.

How dare you stop my husband

and separate us!

I will never forgive you!

Third Princess.

Return to the White Sea.

You want to take me back to the White Sea?

We'll see if you're capable of doing that.

Your Highness...

The King of White Sea

has reported you missing

to the Nine Heavenly Palace.

The king is worried

that you're still entangled with Yang Yan.

His Majesty is worried that Yang Yan is involved.

That is why he sent me to investigate.

I left the White Sea of my own volition.

What does my husband have anything to do with it?

Why vilify him?

If the matter of you assaulting Yue Lao escalates,

you will be punished, Third Princess.

I'm sure Yang Yan wouldn't want that.

So what if I hit

that awful Yue Lao?

I'm not afraid of him.

Listen.

I'm not afraid of facing punishment.

As of now,

Yang Yan has been conferred a title in the Heavenly Court.

He is a deity.

He must obey the laws of the Heavenly Realm.

You could do whatever you wanted

in the White Sea,

and His Majesty couldn't care less.

But the minute you step outside,

everything you do

will fall on Yang Yan.

Be it attacking Yue Lao

or escaping the White Sea,

Yang Yan will take the blame for everything.

Fine.

I've had enough of the Mortal Realm, anyway.

I want to go home now.

I'll go home right now.

By myself.

Listen here.

I'm going to go back and train.

How else will I help my husband

when I return to Guanjiangkou?

God Erhai,

you rank the highest among the Path of Alteration in the Heavenly Court.

You are peerless.

But the people around you are not.

If this matter escalates,

it will spell trouble for you too.

You and I are not friends,

but we do not have to be foes.

I'll pretend I didn't know anything

about you helping Yao Cunxin this time.

Wait for me!

Take a look.

Feel free to have a look.

Great!

- Great! - Great!

Hanwei, I've come to attend the Qixi Festival in your place.

My wish is to be like the mortals,

to be able to go to the Qixi Festival

together

with my lover

and make a wish

at the Temple of Yue Lao

for us to be together

until we grow old.

Nichang,

what about you? What is your wish?

(One may be a deity)

(but cannot even have the most mundane wish)

(fulfilled.)

(In the end, even the soul is shattered.)

(Is it truly)

(a blessing)

(to become a deity?)

Marshal.

Marshal.

Marshal.

His Majesty ordered the two of us

to keep watch on Lord Erhai at the Temple of Yue Lao.

But we lost him.

Have you seen Lord Erhai, sir?

I have.

He has returned to his residence.

You need not worry.

- Thank you, Marshal. - Thank you, Marshal.

(May Beichen)

(be peaceful and free of worry.)

(May Beichen and I)

(one day be together)

(forever.)

Rocky.

Morning.

Take this.

This is for you.

It'll heal your scars.

No need.

It's not a bad thing to remember a lesson.

Do as you wish.

I'm not the one carrying the scars.

The herbs are ready. We can begin at any time.

Let's get started.

What's this?

This is a fire spirit pill.

Formed from the essence of volcanic lava.

This is the only one in existence.

If you can't take it,

there will not be another chance.

Are you sure this is to help me break through my cultivation

and not simmer a demon stew?

Believe it or not.

This is recorded in the scripture.

I went to Kuilei Canyon

to get the ingredients for this recipe.

Fengling almost lost her life too.

All just to turn you into a stew?

I trust you.

Start putting in the herbs.

Celestial fungi and jade worm for the base.

And...

half of the wolf-fang grass.

Half?

Half.

I'll put them in.

Wolf-fang grass?

They added wolf-fang grass?

And given how strong the scent is,

they probably added a substantial amount.

Qingyun,

what is wolf-fang grass?

A mutated species that grow in the land of spiritual energy.

It is as its name suggests.

When cultivating, it will be as if one is being devoured by a wolf.

The person will suffer tremendous pain.

It will disturb one's mind as well,

turning one into a ravenous wolf.

That's not right.

The wolf-fang grass grows in Kuilei Canyon.

Yang Lan and Tenth Martial Brother

must've risked going into Kuilei Canyon

for the wolf-fang grass.

To think the wolf-fang grass could pose such dangers.

I must destroy that liquid of poison!

You mustn't, Senior.

Master has his own way

of teaching Tenth Martial Brother.

It is not something you and I can understand.

Besides, Master has yet to put a stop to it.

We should wait and see for now.

Using such dissident methods to achieve a breakthrough.

If something goes wrong,

we'll be the ones who have to clean up the mess.

I get the sense

that Master appears to expose Tenth Martial Brother

to dangerous means when he teaches him,

and not always

for his sake.

I have no idea what Master has in store

for him.

Get in.

Start absorbing spiritual energy the moment you get in there.

Do not hesitate for even a second.

You'll really turn into soup otherwise.

Let's begin.

Master,

are you really not going to do anything about this?

Your martial brother chose to take on the Path of Alteration,

the shortcut.

Therefore, he must endure

all the suffering that it entails.

If he survives it, then it is his destiny.

If he does not, it is only a matter of course.

After all, how many in the past ten million years

have managed to attain

Yang Yan's level of cultivation?

If

the Northern Yaoguang Cave is a furnace,

then he is a sword.

The more he is refined,

the sharper he will be when he is unsheathed,

and only then can he achieve what he wishes to do.

What worries me most now

is another matter.

Hurry.

Rocky, are you all right?

You're sweating a lot.

I'm fine. I can take it.

Of course.

This is just the beginning.

Good.

You passed the first obstacle.

By repeating this process over and over again,

the outflow of spiritual energy will create the channel.

Once the channel is formed,

you'll overcome this phase.

But that will require more time,

so you must hold on.

Almost there.

You need to put in a little more effort.

Open your mouth.

I said, open your mouth.

This is a pill to keep your strength up.

It'll keep you from collapsing.

Rocky, how are you feeling?

How much longer will it take, Yang Lan?

I think we'll be done tonight.

Things are going faster than I expected.

This is the first time

I've seen someone absorb spiritual energy at such a rapid speed.

First time?

So he's faster than your brother Yang Yan?

In a moment,

something might happen.

So stay further away

and don't do anything.

Something might happen? What will happen?

Can you tell me what it is first?

What?

Are you planning to take the Spirit Dilation Pill again?

So you knew.

You took the Spirit Dilation Pill to increase your cultivation

to save Rocky

at the Sutra Depository.

Lingyun gave you that pill, right?

I can't believe he gave you that.

He deserves a whacking.

Don't you know that's a forbidden substance?

Consuming one of those will cost three years of your cultivation.

You're so young.

How many years of cultivation can you afford to lose?

That's enough.

You've done enough for him.

I don't think he would've made it this far here

without you.

But right now,

not doing anything is the best for him.

Here, take this.

It's a special elixir I made.

It'll reduce the damaged one by the Spirit Dilation Pill.

You should consider yourself more.

If your cultivation doesn't increase,

your life won't be long.

How will you continue to cultivate, then?

Thank you, Yang Lan.

Have you thought about what you want to become?

Me? No.

I've been in this monastery

ever since I could remember.

It all seems so natural to me.

Cultivating comes as naturally

as eating and breathing to me.

Sometimes, I think,

maybe I exist simply to cultivate.

As for why and what can I do

after I master cultivation?

I've never given that any thought.

So

you don't know who your parents are.

My parents?

Master never told me,

and I never asked.

That word is a little far

from me.

But in my world,

I have my master, Grandmaster,

my martial brothers, martial sisters,

and now one more,

Rocky.

Maybe I was raised by heaven and earth,

just like Rocky.

Yang Lan,

what exactly did you mean when you said something might happen?

Something may or may not happen.

I'm not sure, either.

Let's keep observing.

What are you saying, Rocky?

Wolf-fang grass...

Wolf-fang grass...

You want more wolf-fang grass?

No, this is more than enough.

More...

More wolf-fang grass...

Are you sure you want to increase the amount?

You know

the greater the amount,

the greater the risk.

You said

the more I use,

the more power I will get when I break through.

Just breaking through the Condensation Phase isn't enough for me.

I want to become even stronger.

That's the only way I can bring Que'er back.

So I need

more wolf-fang grass.

Give me five times the amount of wolf-fang grass first.

I'll let you know

if that isn't enough.

All right.

We'll talk after you manage

to handle five times the amount.

Stop, Yang Lan!

That's already too much!

Rocky!

Don't go.

The spiritual energy is going to escape.

At this rate, all our efforts will go to waste.

What's wrong, Rocky?

I told you not to go.

He has made a breakthrough.

He has officially reached the Condensation Phase.

The Condensation Phase?

He has gone into spiritual psychosis after forcibly breaking through.

What do we do, Yang Lan?

Save him!

Rocky!

Don't go. Listen to me.

Believe in him.

Run! The rock's powers have been amplified!

How did Rocky turn into this?

Is he still the Rocky I know?

- Run! - Quickly!

Tenth Martial Uncle,

you've trespassed on the forbidden grounds of the Sutra Depository.

You've broken the rules of the monastery.

Please leave at once if you do not wish to be punished.

Rocky!

This is what it means to walk on the Path of Alteration.

Rocky's demonic nature has erupted.

He must hone that power to pave his way

to the peak.

Let me go! I'm going to Rocky!

Get back here.

Do not do anything.

Just watch.

If you don't want his efforts to go to waste,

then don't do anything.

Just watch from afar.

All extreme practitioners of the Path of Alteration

are heroes who walk alone.

They need no friends.

I have nothing to do with this!

I didn't do anything!

- Great! - Thank goodness!

Such malice.

This brings back memories.

Seeing as we're from the same sect,

I will help my martial brother.

I am two phases above you.

I'll only use one arm against you.

We'll settle our grudges

with this.

Back for more?

Martial Uncle!

Senior.

Yang Lan, I beg you! Please save him!

I know you can do it.

You can save him!

Don't worry.

He'll be fine.

Martial Uncle Dantong,

you said you would only use one arm.

Yet,

you used both arms and legs.

We juniors have certainly witnessed

how you keep your promises.

Nonsense!

If it weren't for Lingyun,

I would've expelled you!

Is that so?

You know better than me if that was nonsense.

Moreover, my master is Lingyun.

Above him is Grandmaster.

You don't get to decide if I stay or leave.

You...

Have you really taken

the Northern Yaoguang Cave as yours

after overseeing it for a few days?

You bastard! I'll kill you!

You mustn't, Senior!

How will you explain it to Master

if you kill him?

I'll kill anyone

who tries to stop me!

Does that mean

you'll kill me too?

I dare not!

Yuli.

Take care of the two disciples.

Yes.

You two

will kneel inside Qianxin Hall.

The rest of you are dismissed.

Any words?

I was at fault.

What was your fault?

Master...

I did not ask you.

Master,

that rock was trespassing on the Sutra Depository, so...

So you tried to kill him.

I dare not.

You dare not?

What did I teach you?

Master,

Senior Dantong

was only infuriated by that Yang Lan.

He wouldn't have

pointed his sword against Tenth Martial Brother

otherwise.

You were strung along

by the words of a little girl.

You've lost your senses in your pursuit of the Path of Alteration.

If someone else says something next time,

will you point your swords against your master too?

I dare not!

You dare not?

It's one thing

for those lads to make a fuss.

You two are my direct disciples.

I taught you everything you know.

But now you two are foolishly doing this

and depreciating yourselves ignorantly.

Master!

I am not your master.

I do not have a disciple like you.

I set up the array.

You did not know why.

I told you to guard Wankong Mountain.

You do not know why.

When something happened to your martial brother,

you rushed to discipline him,

even drawing swords at one another.

Now,

what would happen

if someone took advantage of this and attacked Wankong Mountain?

What have you learned

in your practice of cultivation?

And this is your temperament?

Should cultivators of the Path of Alteration

not cultivate their minds?

Master,

I am the cause of all of this.

If it weren't because of me,

Senior would not behave as such toward Tenth Martial Brother...

If you must punish someone,

please punish me.

You've already reached the Ascendance Phase.

Your temperament hasn’t changed much over the years.

You're no different

from the fallen official you were when you first came.

Calling it stubbornness

is too high praise.

To put it bluntly, you just don't learn!

Even your junior is better than you.

All right. I have nothing else to say.

Think about what you did.

If you can't figure it out,

then don't bother continuing this path.

Today,

the two of you

will kneel here for the entire day

and reflect on yourselves.

Dantong, starting tomorrow,

you will copy Chapter 24 of the Arcane Scripture

1,000 times.

Don't bother seeing me

until you've finished!

Yes...

I can't believe I got lectured by that old man.

Only Eighth Martial Brother ever gets told off by him.

Is that necessary?

I only got minor injuries.

I don't need all that medicine.

Who said this was for you?

This is for Tenth Martial Brother.

For him?

Are you serious?

Now, you're the good guy,

and I'm the bad guy.

Who was the one

that stood up for you, huh?

Who gave me these injuries?

Don't get me involved.

I'm long past it.

You're just framing me now.

Me?

Framing you?

Your brain turned around fast

this time.

Actually,

Yang Lan was right.

I did lose yesterday.

He forced my hand.

I even used my legs.

That's one crazy rock.

He's reckless.

If I did the same,

do you think

I could surpass Yang Yan too?

You just realized you lost?

You were even going to use your sword

yesterday.

That's unfair.

I already admitted my defeat.

You're pouring salt on my wound.

Xujin.

Master.

Give this to your tenth martial uncle.

Apply internally and externally three times a day.

The instructions are written in detail.

Tell him

it's from Dantong.

If you dare to tell him that,

I'll kill you!

Master, I...

Never mind.

Tell him the medicine is from me.

Yes, Master.

Didn't you say you wanted to move on?

Even if we're reconciling,

I'll deliver the medicine to him myself if I want.

I don't need you to do it.

If I bring the medicine to him now,

it'll appear as if I were the one apologizing.

I'm not that thick-skinned.

Grandmaster, Rock...

How is Tenth Martial Uncle?

I've stabilized his injuries.

Apply the medicine from Qingyun three times a day.

He'll recover

in no time.

However,

his delusion remains.

It will not be easy to rid him of his delusion.

I'll think of something else for him.

Thank you, Grandmaster.
