[The Legends of Changing Destiny]

Episode 8

Eldest Martial Brother!

- Eldest Martial Brother. - Eldest Martial Brother.

Eldest Martial Brother?

Eldest Martial Brother, Master is in seclusion.

He's not available at the moment.

If you want to see him,

why not first take a break over at Qingfeng Pavilion?

When Master comes out,

I'll have my disciples inform you.

Master? You're back.

Greetings, Master.

Eldest Martial Brother, you are back.

Eldest Martial Brother,

The thing with the Spirit Dilation Pill

was indeed my fault.

You have my deepest apologies.

Master, the Spirit Dilation Pill...

Yes!

The whole matter was my fault.

Who do you think I am?

I'm not your master.

Who am I to be bossy?

Right?

I shouldn't have given you the pill.

But Eldest Martial Brother,

please forgive me this time.

Seeing it was an act of immaturity,

please forgive me.

Master.

Martial Uncle Lingyun...

I know!

You are terribly angered by my mistake.

You don't say it because you don't want to embarrass me.

Besides, I know what you will say.

It's...

Immaturity, the same excuse again.

I've forgiven you time and time again.

You were young when you came here,

so I forgave you.

But, you are now 500 years old.

Are you still as immature?

You give the same excuse every time.

You show no remorse at all!"

Did I get that right, Eldest Martial Brother?

Leave.

I get it now.

You forgave me.

All right.

She'll be cultivating with me.

Master.

Are you not mad at me

because of the pill?

You were already forgiven.

But I'm not done talking to Master.

Let's go.

Martial Uncle!

I thought Master would be upset

at the fact that I took the Spirit Dilation Pill.

Thankfully, I got away in one piece.

I was going to snitch to Master.

Whatever.

Rocky probably

won't fight with Martial Uncles again.

They will get along over time.

Rocky. Rocky!

Rocky, how is your injury?

Do the shackles

make you feel very uncomfortable?

I'm all right.

It's nothing. I'll live.

I'm glad you're all right.

Look, I prepared some food for you. Come on.

Hold on.

I almost forgot.

You always call slicing fruits cooking.

There, enjoy the cooking.

What's the matter? You're in a good mood.

Yang Lan, welcome back.

Have some fruit slices.

Get rid of the shackles.

They really bother me.

I wish I could undo them too.

But Martial Uncle Lingyun

won't give me the keys.

He says Rocky still has

residue delusion within him.

He can't be released.

It's difficult to clear delusions for the Path of Alteration.

Will you shackle him for the rest of his life?

But Grandmaster says Rocky...

Is Grandmaster always right?

If Grandmaster Jiekong wants him dead,

will you allow it?

Putting shackles on him

is never a good way to clear him of delusions.

So, why bother at all?

Did you get the keys

from Martial Uncle Lingyun?

I doubt she asked for it.

She probably stole it.

Yang Lan.

Thank you.

Thanks to you,

I reached the Condensation Phase so quickly.

So, what's the next step for my cultivation?

You asked the right person.

My brother is the greatest ascetic

of the Path of Alteration.

I guarantee

no one else understands the path

better than I do.

If you want to

reach the next phase by force,

you must suffer pain greater

than anyone else.

The greater the talent, the greater the pain.

Judging by the way you absorb spiritual energy,

the pain will become even more common.

I have nothing to repay you with,

so you can have the food.

Just some fruit slices?

Should I get you a fruit platter next time?

It will have everything.

It has all the fruits.

You barely sound sincere.

You're only giving me fruits.

Fruits are great.

What's so great about them?

(Rocky will keep training and cultivating.)

(But my attainment is so low,)

(I couldn't help him even after taking the Spirit Dilation Pill.)

(Fengling, you are so useless.)

I'm glad you to have your company.

Master.

Why is the name on Eldest Martial Brother's

Destiny Token flickering?

Lingyun.

I have an important mission for you.

Keep an eye on your younger martial brother.

[Wuji Hall]

Fengling!

Fengling! Fengling!

Fengling!

Fengling!

Don't go in there.

Rocky!

Rocky is gone.

Don't go in there! It's too dangerous!

Yang Lan!

Foolish girl!

Now,

show me

the real identity of this variable.

Rocky, don't go in there.

Yang Lan?

Fengling!

Fengling!

Fengling, what are you doing?

Rocky, come with me.

Come on!

Rocky! Come back!

Rocky! Rocky!

Don't go!

Rocky!

Come back to me, Rocky! Don't go!

Rocky, get back here.

Rocky!

Come back, Rocky!

Come back to us!

Rocky! Rocky!

Yang Lan...

Fengling, wake up!

Wake up! Fengling!

Snap out of it!

Rocky...

Let's go.

Rocky!

Fengling!

Rocky!

Don't let go!

Don't let go!

Rocky, I can't hold on much longer.

Rocky, forget about me. Let go!

I'm not letting go!

Grandmaster Jiekong.

How dare you ruin my plan to vanquish the variable?

Curse you!

Fengling?

Fengling?

- Fengling? - Fengling?

Fengling!

Fengling!

It's you!

Fengling.

How are you feeling?

Do you feel any discomfort?

I'm glad you're all right.

Don't go in there!

(Why did Fengling's eyes)

(look like Que'er's?)

Rocky.

Why are you staring at me?

It's nothing.

Senior Lingyun.

What happened?

How did Fengling get possessed?

Is Wankong Mountain under attack?

Master set up spell arrays in Swallow Recess.

Is this the reason?

How should I know?

I only know

what you already know.

You suddenly showed up in Kuilei Canyon.

You must know

something we don't.

I showed up in Kuilei Canyon

because Master asked me to.

He ordered me

to take good care of Rocky.

He didn't tell me anything else.

Master says your heart and mind are still unstable.

He sent me there so you didn't cause any trouble.

Tenth Martial Brother.

You know Master.

No one can read his mind.

As his disciples,

we don't know what he's planning.

Besides,

we wouldn't ask unless he told us.

The enemy is skilled and powerful.

We don't know their motive.

They might act again.

Are you saying Rocky is their target?

Rocky...

Don't worry. Master is here for us.

We will be safe. Come on.

Take it easy.

This is a close-fitting light armor I made

with the celestial silk I’ve collected over time.

Marshal Beichen might need it for his mission to Kunlun Mountain.

Fairy.

Don't worry.

I will stop asking to see him

from now on.

I shall go now.

That was unnecessary.

Take back what you brought here.

I will not accept your gift.

The Sky Harbor is a secured facility of the Tianhe Army.

Please do not come here again.

I merely...

Whatever reason you have,

I don't want to see you again.

Fairy Nichang, please go.

I understand.

I shall not visit this place again.

(If I hadn't come to Sky Harbor)

(to cooperate with the conscription process,)

(I would've missed this moment.)

(This is the so-called upright marshal)

(who always abides by the law?)

(Oh, Beichen.)

(You just dropped a priceless leverage at my doorstep.)

It's been a thousand years.

I've always kept this hairpin with me.

Master, about the incident at Kuilei Canyon...

Master, about the incident at Kuilei Canyon...

My disciple, you took Yang Lan in.

When you arrive in Kunlun Mountain,

make sure you explain everything

to Saint Wuding.

Saint Baimei is the current leader of Kunlun Mountain.

I wrote him a letter.

I promise to send over

the full collection of Golden Vessel Taoist Sutra.

Please pass this on to him.

This is a scroll of

Scripture of Boundless Nimbus for Saint Wuding.

Judging by his personality, I'm sure he will like it.

Master.

These relics are precious.

Are you really giving them away?

You took his disciple as yours.

It's only right to show some good manners.

When I took you in,

I gave out more than two scrolls.

I think

I must have owe you and your disciple a lot in my past life.

Anyway, these are only two scripture scrolls.

Don't worry, Master.

I'll ask Yang Yan to compensate you.

Compensate me?

Is that even possible now?

All I ask is you don't cause me more trouble.

Tomorrow morning,

take Yang Lan and Rocky to Kunlun Mountain.

Tomorrow morning?

What's the rush?

Why am I taking Rocky with me?

That puny rock is eccentric.

After only a year,

I almost couldn't recognize him.

He managed to memorize all the books he stole,

including the full collection of the Path of Enlightenment.

I've never seen anyone as enthused in learning as he is.

I was genuinely surprised.

Indeed, it's too soon to go to Kunlun Mountain now.

However, you have to go.

When you arrive,

pass this letter to Saint Baimei.

You've reached the Condensation Phase.

A normal wooden stick can't withstand your surging spiritual energy.

So, it broke.

What now?

You need a suitable spirit instrument.

The Condensation Phase is different from the Channeling Phase.

You can use a spirit instrument now.

You can use a spirit instrument now.

With a spirit instrument,

you get extra protection in a fight.

But a spirit instrument

is usually forged with precious materials.

That's a skill for the Path of Enlightenment.

So, you can forget about that.

Tenth Martial Uncle!

Grandmaster asked for you.

Disciple, come closer.

Come here.

What is this for?

My disciple, you've studied the books for days.

Do you recognize the scripture?

Ouch!

Look at you.

You could take a serious beating,

but you can't handle getting your hair plucked.

Look.

What is this?

There, look at this.

What's the memorial tablet for?

Silly rock.

That is nonsense.

This is called a Destiny Token.

I carved it for you myself

using a piece of Worldly Yin Wood.

It needs a sample of you as a medium.

From now on,

I can find you,

no matter where you are.

If you died due to unexpected circumstances,

the token could beckon your soul back here.

My disciple.

All of your martial brothers have this.

It's my gift to you.

It's the same as a memorial tablet.

It's a container for my soul.

Silly rock,

can't you say anything nice?

I don't know anything nice to say.

All right, that's enough for now.

Master, what is this about?

By the way,

I summoned you

because tomorrow morning,

you and your martial brother Lingyun

will travel to Kunlun Mountain.

Make sure you prepare for the trip tonight.

Is there a problem?

I want to stay here and train to master spells.

My disciple.

Kunlun Mountain is a renowned Taoist sect.

I want you to go there

and see how the people there go through cultivation.

As for your training,

I will personally teach you the spells you want to learn

when you return.

I want to master the Great Spell of Nine Alterations and Meteor Nimbus.

Very well.

I will teach you these two spells.

Thank you so much, Master!

Hold on.

My disciple, catch the staff.

This is the Cloud-Walker Staff.

It's your weapon now.

Thank you, Master.

All right. You may go now.

Master promised to teach me

the Great Spell of Nine Alterations

when I come back.

Did you say you were going to Kunlun Mountain?

Yes.

I'm packing up my stuff.

I can learn the spell when I come back!

Rocky!

How can you not see me standing here?

Martial Uncle...

Fengling.

He and I are going to Kunlun Mountain.

We could be away for two weeks

or two months at most.

Fengling, trust me on this.

From now on,

keep your distance from him.

Martial Uncle, why do you say that?

He has the personality to master the Path of Alteration.

Master has treated him well.

It's only been a little over a year since he came.

Now, he's reached the Condensation Phase.

He will suffer

the same fate as Yang Yan.

There are only three possible outcomes.

He either becomes a legendary hero,

becomes a great calamity for the world, or simply dies.

All these outcomes

have paved the way of his cultivation journey

with deaths.

That is why

Senior Qingyun and Senior Dantong

are so wary of him.

They can see the whole picture.

Fengling.

I am telling you this for your own good.

Please try to understand.

Shocked to learn Fengling didn't come to see you off?

All right, it's time to go.

Come on.

Come on, don't be afraid.

Safe trip, Martial Uncles.

Rocky! Rocky!

Dantong.

Deploy the Veiling Array now.

Cover the tracks for Lingyun's party.

Qingyun.

Wipe out all traces

of your Tenth Martial Brother's presence here.

Master...

Do it now.

Yes.

I, Zixin, Venerable Master Wuji's disciple,

have come to meet Grandmaster Jiekong.

You've traveled far.

We didn't prepare a proper welcome.

My apologies.

Is Grandmaster Jiekong available?

He is in seclusion.

He ordered us

to show you around the monastery.

Wonderful.

This way, please.

This way, please.

This...

(It's glowing blue again.)

(This is weird.)

(Master told me)

(the mystic pearl glows with golden light when it detects the variable.)

(Not only is it not detecting it,)

(but the pearl)

(is also glowing blue. Why is that?)

Master.

One thing still confuses me.

Speak.

Why would you go as far as wiping

traces

of Rocky's presence here?

Rocky was born out of nothing,

which caused the crack in the Heavenly Path.

The Venerable One sent his disciple hereto inspect the place.

The Venerable One

is only 100 li east of here.

Then...

We can already catch a glimpse of this game's outcome.

Master.

If the Venerable One is inspecting,

why don't you meet the disciple yourself?

Why did you order the sage to show him around the monastery?

By doing so...

I am familiar with the Venerable One's personality.

Meeting his disciple will expose my unease.

If he wants to inspect us,

so be it.

If we can hide it from the Venerable One,

it might benefit us in the future.

Hiding from him?

This is but a smokescreen.

The Venerable One won't be so easily tricked.

But Master, sending my martial younger brothers to Kunlun Mountain

is going to...

The truth is obscured in plain sight. At this point,

we both know each other's intentions,

but we can't expose it just yet.

Even if they find no traces

of Rocky's presence here,

the Venerable One will still think this is my doing.

So be it.

I'm not afraid of the Venerable One.

But if he ever finds Rocky,

things could get sticky.

Therefore,

I came up with this idea to stall him.

SO,

finding a piece of rock in this world

isn't exactly a difficult task.

However, it's not exactly easy either.

I tested my wits against the Venerable One once.

I was defeated due to my lack of strength.

Abbot Liaowu sacrificed himself

to bring salvation to the living.

I took Rocky in as my disciple

for the sake of Abbot Liaowu's sacrifice.

But there's no turning back now.

When the Heavenly Path cracks,

the Venerable One and I shall battle once more.

I'll stake it all on the future of the living.

To be perished and reborn.

Impressive, Abbot Liaowu.

Master.

I didn't meet Grandmaster Jiekong during my visit.

His disciple showed me around the monastery.

As you ordered, I used the mystic pearl

to secretly detect the variable's presence.

There was no reaction.

However,

the mystic pearl glowed a faint blue.

in front of

Grandmaster Jiekong's disciples.

I did a thorough inspection.

I found no traces of the rock demon.

A blue glow.

What does it mean?

Perhaps Grandmaster Jiekong

interfered with his secret spell and caused this?

If he cast a secret spell to do so,

it means

the rock demon is in the monastery.

However,

the mystic pearl...

has never been seen by Grandmaster Jiekong.

Even if he was interfering,

he wouldn't be able to cover the golden glow entirely.

If the rock demon weren't at the monastery,

why would he use the secret spell?

More uncertainties.

There is no way to tell

if the rock demon is in the monastery.

But, is there another place

that's safe for him

except for his Northern Yaoguang Cave?

I'm going back to Wuji Hall now.

Stay here and monitor the Northern Yaoguang Cave

at all times.

Stay extra alert.

Do not let your guard down.

Watch it closely.

If you spot anything, do not alert the enemy.

Report back to me instead.

As you command, Master.

Immortal Taibai, listen.

Beichen and Nichang

have been secretly in love.

Yue Lao.

I thank you for telling the truth

about Beichen and Nichang's relationship.

Don't mention it, Immortal Taibai.

I'm surprised to learn that Beichen and Fairy Nichang

had a complicated yet lingering relationship.

in the Mortal Realm.

Flowers don't speak,

The wind is quiet,

The moon shines,
