[The Legends of Changing Destiny]

Episode 9

The Tianhe Army will beheading to Kunlun Mountain

to conscript troops soon.

I give you this edict

that commands Kunlun Mountain to give the Tianhe Army full cooperation.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Present the edict.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

The Tianhe Army has protected the Three Realms for thousands of years.

You have worked hard and achieved great merits.

I will also give you the Golden Silk Demon-Encapturing Net

to assist you in capturing demons and training your troops.

The Golden Silk Demon-Encapturing Net

is made from thousand-year-old silk.

It is capable of tracking down demonic energy on its own.

If a demon is caught in it,

even a higher demon that has become a Taiyi

Golden Deity of the Ascendance Phase

would struggle to break free.

It's a spirit instrument

that takes thousands of years to produce.

The Smelting Division only completed it yesterday.

The Tianhe Army must be held in such high regard for them to be conferred

such an incredible divine weapon!

I thank Your Majesty for your grace.

[Kunlun Mountain]

Where are we, Senior?

Here.

Where's Kunlun Mountain?

Here.

What about Qilai Mountain?

Missing home?

Here.

Elder! Elder...

Que'er!

No!

Senior, I would like your guidance on something.

Oh, why so formal?

Ask away.

If a demon died,

how would one revive her?

If her body is in one piece and well-preserved,

and you can find her soul,

then a Soul Revival Pill will do the trick.

It is an extremely rare elixir pill,

but if you ask Master, I'm sure he'll give it to you.

What if the body wasn't well-kept

and a long period of time had passed?

That would be tricky.

First, you would need to go to the Palace of Yama

in the Netherworld.

I'm not sure what you would need to do after that.

The Way of Yin and Yang isn't my specialty.

But if you get to meet

Second Martial Brother Youquan and Master,

they'll be able to answer that.

Stop. State your names.

I am Lingyun of Lingyun Pavilion

on Lingyun Peak,

one of the Nine Beacons of Light

of Wankong Mountain.

We came from the Northern Yaoguang Cave

of Wankong Mountain.

We were instructed by our master, Grandmaster Jiekong,

to pay Saint Baimei and Saint Wuding a visit.

So you are Martial Uncle Lingyun.

Grandmaster Baimei has instructed us

to receive you well.

Both of you may follow me into the mountain at once.

However, this demon...

You may have taken on the form of a human,

but we have trained eyes.

We can see through your disguise.

He is actually

an acquaintance of mine.

Make an exception.

I...

Please.

All right. Come with me.

All right.

Come on.

Why didn't you just tell him

I was Master's disciple?

Wouldn't that make more sense?

Tenth Martial Brother,

why bother about them?

Let them say whatever they want.

What's important is that you are my martial brother.

That's the truth.

Besides,

we are cultivators.

We should not pay any mind to such hypocrisy and falsity.

Isn't that right?

All right, all right.

As long as the fact that you are my martial brother

does not change,

everything else doesn't matter.

Let's go.

I can walk by myself.

Come on.

Come on.

I'll walk on my own.

All right, all right.

This way.

Please wait here.

I will inform them of your arrival.

Let's get out of here.

Hurry.

You don't seem to have the best reputation here.

You'll find out later.

Please come inside, Martial Uncle Lingyun.

Why is he here?

Right.

That's a strange rock demon.

That's right.

This way.

Grandmaster, Martial Uncle Lingyun is here.

That's Nuojia's master?

Brother Lingyun.

I believe we haven't seen each other in 500 years.

You must stay

for a few more days this time.

You jest, Brother Baimei.

I, Lingyun,

am a wandering soul.

In reality, I am merely an idle character.

I'm surprised you remember my title.

However, I am unworthy of being regarded as a brother to you.

You're too modest, Lingyun.

Out of all the disciples in your sect,

I am the most familiar with you.

Lingyun of Lingyun Pavilion

on Lingyun Peak.

I doubt there is anyone

in the Heavenly Court

that does not know your name.

Please don't be mistaken, Brother Baimei.

I accepted Yang Lan as my disciple

because we hit it off at once,

and I cherish talents.

I mean no offense to Kunlun Mountain.

Please understand.

So be it.

Grandmaster Jiekong sent me a letter

prior to your arrival.

If you are both willing,

then there is nothing more for me to say.

You will need to inform Wuding

of this personally, however.

Of course.

Brother Baimei,

this is the complete collection of the Golden Vessel Taoist Sutra

that my master compiled himself.

He instructed me to deliver this to you

before I left.

He requests you to peruse it and give your remarks.

Grandmaster Jiekong

had you deliver this bamboo scroll to me.

Please extend your stay

in Kunlun Mountain

so that I may have more time to peruse this sutra.

When it is done,

I'll trouble you to bring my reply letter back to Grandmaster Jiekong.

That's exactly what I had in mind. Thank you.

Just tell him what you want.

"Reply letter"? "Requesting remarks"?

You're the same rank as him.

Why so courteous?

You're embarrassing.

Embarrassing?

You're ungrateful.

Who do you think I'm doing all of this for?

It's all for you.

What does my being your disciple have anything to do with him?

Do I need his permission?

This is etiquette! Etiquette!

We can't all be like your brother

barging in here with spears,

threatening and coercing them. into doing what we want.

Martial Uncle Lingyun, as per Grandmaster's orders,

we've prepared accommodation for you.

The three of you have had a tiring journey.

Please retire and rest.

Grandmaster has given orders.

A reception banquet will be held

at the monastery tonight for you.

All right. Please lead the way.

Please.

You guys go ahead. I'm not staying here.

Where will you go, then?

Jinxia Cave.

Tell Saint Baimei that we're making a trip.

to Jinxia Cave.

Yes.

Do you even know

how to get there?

So... So the Jinxia Cave is actually

a cave.

Looks like your master isn't doing that well.

When has he ever been well?

Over a thousand years of cultivation

and only my brother to show for it.

He wouldn't even be named one of the 12 Golden Deities otherwise.

Old man!

I'm back, old man!

Come out!

That's how she talks to her former master?

Senior,

do you feel better now?

We have guests!

Hurry up!

Don't you know how to treat guests?

Lan!

I'm your master!

Show me some respect, will you?

What's this?

Don't touch it!

What the heck was that?

Listen here.

Saint Wuding is the ultimate expert

in mechanisms and trickery

in the Three Realms.

Look

at all this nonsense.

Stop dawdling.

I'm up in my years. Slow down.

Hurry up!

Easy there...

What are you looking at?

This is my new master.

Sorry,

Brother Wuding.

I accepted your former disciple, Yang Lan,

as my new disciple.

Thank you. You took in quite the trouble.

Trouble?

Trouble?

Couldn't you have used a different phrasing?

What would you have me say?

I couldn't teach you,

but now that there's someone who's willing,

you should hurry and seize the opportunity.

Even Saint Baimei knows

to take advantage of this and get something in return.

I'm your disciple!

You're going to give me away just like that?

Yang Lan's a little different today.

Very.

Um, Brother Lingyun,

my former disciple says I can ask you for something in return...

Is he your disciple?

No...

Perfect.

You took my disciple in.

I can accept yours

as my disciple too.

What? Can't I?

If you can take my disciple as yours,

why can't I take your disciple

as mine?

What are you blabbering about?

Be quiet, you!

Don't you know

you're trying to take Grandmaster Jiekong's disciple?

This... This is my junior.

You...

Oh, you're Grandmaster Jiekong's disciple.

Well, I've still got a bit to go

before I can take GrandmasterJiekong's disciple.

That's a given.

Just a little...

Lan, can you unhand me now?

Oh, you...

I'm going out for a walk.

It's too much for me to stay here.

That... That girl...

Isn't she adorable?

Come in, come in.

This way, please.

Brother Wuding,

I accepted your former disciple as mine.

I am her master now.

About that...

So be it.

That matters not.

She was under me for a thousand years,

yet, I didn't manage to help her reach the Ascendance Phase.

If Yang Yan

hadn't managed to find her the celestial peaches,

she would've grown old now.

I am a failure of a master.

How can I stop her

from seeking another master?

Yang Lan is clever and sharp.

Why hasn't she managed

to reach the Ascendance Phase after all this time?

She is more determined than her brother.

All she wants to do is seek revenge.

Yang Yan wants revenge, too,

but he took on the Path of Alteration.

This supports him instead.

But Yang Lan...

She is a master of alchemy, medicine, smelting, and arrays.

There are some that I dare say

she is even better than me.

But she took on the Path of Enlightenment.

She cannot attain a higher level of cultivation

with such a knot in her heart.

I shall entrust her to you, Brother Lingyun.

I wasn't able to help her go further.

Now, I shall leave her in your care.

Rest assured, Brother Wuding.

I will do my best

not to disappoint you.

Then again,

being a master

is no easy task indeed.

I, for one, can relate.

But don't worry.

Even if Yang Lan considers me

her master now,

you will always be a master

to her and her brother.

After all,

it was you who took them in

when they were at their lowest.

She will not forget what you've done for them.

Not at all...

(Back then, they were pursued by the Heavenly Court.)

(The Yang siblings sought refuge from every sect.)

- Please accept us as your disciples! - Please accept us as your disciples!

Stop kneeling here.

Go back.

I will not accept you as my disciples.

Please...

- Please accept us as your disciples... - Please accept us as your disciples...

What do we do, Yan?

I don't know...

[Jinxia Cave] (They came to me,)

(refusing to leave.)

(They just kept looking at me with those pitiful eyes...)

- Please accept us as your disciples! - Please accept us as your disciples!

- Please... - Please...

- Please accept us as your disciples... - Please accept us as your disciples...

(After that,)

(my seniors kept trying to change my mind.)

(They kept coming, so I hid.)

(I took Yang Yan and Yang Lan with me and wandered the world.)

Yan, I'm hungry.

Hang in there. Master will be back soon.

I'm back.

- Master! - Master!

Master.

Is it good?

Yes.

Eat more, then.

Have some too, Master.

You eat it.

(Yang Yan was a stellar student.)

(He mastered his path. He attained great cultivation!)

(Among the battle and competition with the other deities, )

(he ranked first.)

(My proud disciple!)

Your Majesty,

I have fought for the Heavenly Court for thousands of years.

I have accomplished countless merits.

I implore Your Majesty to allow me to exchange my merits.

for my mother's freedom.

I beg Your Majesty

to set my mother free from Yao Mountain.

I will be forever grateful.

Ling Ji married a mortal man

and defied the Heavenly Court.

That's not something that can be overlooked

with mere merits.

Do not bring this matter up again.

(In the end, he rebelled.)

(The heavenly generals dared not challenge him.)

(The Heavenly Emperor had to seek my help)

(to convince Yang Yan to stop.)

(Such an honor...)

From this day forth, I, Yang Yan, and Saint Wuding,

shall no longer be disciple and master.

Seize the Heavenly Emperor! Take down the Heavenly Court!

Such a pity.

In the end, I never got to see that boy

reunite with his family.

There, there.

Brother Wuding,

let the past stay in the past.

I don't mind telling you this,

but if it weren't for Yang Yan,

I might not have even been able to have such a residence

in Kunlun Mountain.

I am blessed

to have a disciple like him.

My master instructed me

to give you this Scripture of Boundless Nimbus.

Please accept it.

I shan't.

My disciple is no ware.

She's not for sale.

Just look after Lan

for me.

Lan has had a hard life.

She has a short temper and isn't always considerate of others.

But she has a good nature.

Perhaps

she'll even give you some trouble in the future.

We wouldn't want that.

But fret not,

Brother Wuding,

since Yang Lan has joined our sect,

she is one of Wankong Mountain now.

No one will dare to bully her.

I promise

she will not be wronged in the slightest while she is there.

Good, good.

This is my hundred-year-old brew.

It takes one hundred years to brew a jar.

Thank you.

Great liquor!

Drink more, then.

(Yang Lan isn't that bad...)

What are you looking at me for?

Eat.

Well? Isn't Lan beautiful?

Yes.

Come. Let's drink.

Come.

About 300 jin.

That's my limit.

All right, Tenth Martial Brother,

stop playing with that staff.

You've been fiddling with it

all the way.

I've never seen this weapon of yours before.

Let me take a look at it.

Here.

Not bad.

This is a fine weapon.

As expected of Master.

Then again,

Master really does treat you well.

Really?

Is there something special about this?

You don't even know this?

Listen.

There's a lot to be said about this weapon.

This staff

is created from a special stone in the West Sea.

It can sense

your level of cultivation

and adapt its power accordingly.

So

if you were to channel 300 jin worth of power into it now,

it would be able to resist it.

Is that so?

That old man didn't tell me this.

No wonder I felt that the staff

had become heavier lately.

But Tenth Martial Brother,

there is a problem.

As your cultivation level increases,

so will

your power.

This staff can withstand

to 2,000 jin at most.

So

it will affect your performance later on.

You need to find another heavy weapon.

Heavy weapon?

Senior,

do you know

the Nine-Dragon Staff?

As if there's anything I don't know.

The Divine Nine-Dragon Staff

is formed from the seals of the marks

of the nine dragons of the four seas.

It can allow one to traverse the skies and reach the moon.

What about it?

Nothing.

Seriously. I was talking to you

about weapons.

Why did you bring up the Nine-Dragon Staff?

Are you thinking about. making that your weapon?

Don't be silly, Senior.

I heard that thing was heavy,

so it came to mind.

That's why I asked.

It would be best if that didn't cross your mind.

Listen to me, Tenth Martial Brother,

I've been to the Yao Palace.

I've met

the old sea king a few times.

His Yao Palace is filled

with a myriad of rare and wondrous treasures,

but he is an old scrooge.

The precious Nine-Dragon Staff

is his prized possession,

but he won't even give you

a tiny pearl for free.

All dragons are like that.

Yang Lan's sister-in-law included.

They're misers.

Come on.

Forget about those things.

A

With this Cloud-Walker Staff,

I am another step closer

to becoming the most powerful in the world.

And I will soon master

the Great Spell of Nine Alterations.

When that time comes,

I'll be able to travel anywhere in the world.

and do whatever I want.

I can revive Que'er

and avenge all of you.

Was this Yang Lan or Wuding?

No matter. I wasn't full from dinner, anyway.

It was all meat dishes.

I wonder if Yang Lan did that on purpose.

Greetings, Immortal Taibai.

The last time I was here,

it was for Fairy Hanwei's romance case.

You were there too, weren't you?

es.

Fairy Hanwei's tragedy was inevitable.

A deity must not develop mundane feelings.

Marshal Beichen's bud still exists.

He might be next.

But I wonder

who Marshal Beichen's bud is tied to?

I'm sure her rank

isn't as high as his, though.

If Marshal Beichen does indeed develop feelings for her,

the Heavenly Court will lose another valuable general.

He can still be saved

while the bud has yet to bloom.

If it should bloom someday,

then it would truly be a pity.

What's even more pitiful

is the fact that I do not know who the other is.

I cannot save them,

even if I wish to do so.

Nichang!

Help me!

Are you all right?

I'm fine, Nichang. Nichang!

It's all right.

I'm sorry, Nichang!

It's all my fault!

You got hurt because of me.

Silly girl. I'm fine.

I'll just put some medicine on it when I go back.

It must hurt a lot.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

Marshal,

this details the matter of the conscription on Kunlun Mountain.

Marshal, our scouts have reported

that the Roc-Demon King and Rabbit Demon King

are wary of our pursuit

and are attempting to form an alliance with the other demon kings

to increase their combative power.

The demon kings are joining forces.

We must infiltrate their camp

and prevent this from happening.

Marshal,

the Roc-Demon King and Rabbit Demon King

are demon kings on the Heavenly Court's wanted list.

Their cultivation levels

of the Taiyi Golden Deity of the Ascendance Phase.

We must send a strong soldier to infiltrate

to collect information.

A strong soldier...

Marshal.

Tianren,

why did you bring him here?

Marshal,

I have explained everything

to Tiannei.

Please give him a chance

to redeem himself.

Please allow me to infiltrate and investigate

the Roc-Demon King and Rabbit Demon King

to redeem myself.

You're still recovering.

You're not fit for this mission.

Marshal,

I committed the crime of falling in love

and damaged the Tianhe Army's reputation.

I deeply regret my actions.

But my wounds are fine now.

Please allow me to infiltrate the enemy camp.

Please give Tiannei a chance

to redeem himself.

All right.

I will give you a chance.

You will be responsible

for this task.

Thank you, Marshal.

Rise.

Thank you, Marshal.

However, you must remember

not to endanger yourself.

Withdraw at the first sign of danger.

Prioritize your safety.

Yes.

Tiannei,

do not let your comrades down.

Go.

Marshal Beichen.

Greetings, Marshal Beichen.

This is the list of the last batch of supplies

for the Tianhe Army's conscription trip

to Kunlun Mountain.

Please check and verify it.

What

is this?

I remember now.

This is the petal from when Fairy Nichang

fell from the Moon Tree.

It happened to get into my sleeve.

Fairy Nichang

took quite the fall

to save Fairy Dixin.

Oh, silly me.

I'm supposed to be here on official business.

Back to business. Where was I?

Oh, right.

This is the final batch of supplies

for the Tianhe Army’s trip to Kunlun Mountain.

Please check and verify it.

Tianheng,

go with Immortal Taibai to the warship to check.

Make sure everything is in order.

Yes.

This way, Immortal Taibai.

Coming.

How infatuated he is, that Marshal Beichen.

I only mentioned it briefly.

Look at him.

Rushing over to check on her himself.

Trying to be discreet, too.

Trying to keep this a secret?

But how can you possibly hide

that blooming love in your heart?

The Moon Tree makes no mistakes.

Oh, Beichen.

You are so drunk in love.

You won't escape

your fate.

Nichang.

You're hurt.

It's just a minor injury. I'm fine.

Immortal Taibai, you...

What are you looking for?

Where is he?

Who?

Marshal Beichen.

Why would Marshal Beichen be here?

I saw him come here with my own eyes...

Immortal Taibai.

It's you again.

It's still light outside.

Don't tell me you barged in here

because you got drunk again?

I...

Oh, my.

You even brought others with you.

What would happen

if Immortal Taiyin found out

that you barged into her residence with guards

without permission?

Fairies,

come and look!

Taibai Jixing

is here at the Palace of Immortal Attendant again!

I'm not here.

I wasn't here.

- You came. - Don't try to play dumb.

All of us saw you.

Nichang,

are you all right?

I'm fine. Don't worry.

When I heard he was here again,

I rushed over.

I'm glad you're all right.

I'll be leaving now.

Go on.

So

you came to see me

because you were worried.

I only realized

your feelings today.

From a soldier to Marshal Beichen.

The higher your rank,

the further you are from me.

Gradually, you became out of reach.

I even...

Don't be mistaken.

I only came here today

to teach Taibai Jixing a lesson

and to make you realize

that someone is trying to plot against me.

The laws of the Heavenly Court

are not something a mere lesser deity like you

can defy.

Your rank is lower than mine.

So you don't have to worry.

But if I break the Heavenly Laws,

troubles of love will leave me with nothing.

Fairy Nichang,

both of us are deities now.

Do not cling

to the romance

from our mortal days.

So

you weren't staying away

and avoiding me

because you were worried

about implicating me?

Fairy Nichang,

you must have been overthinking.

I've come

to tell you specifically

that I no longer

harbor any feelings for you.

After the Battle at the Nine Heavenly Gate,

His Majesty has placed great trust in me.

I have a bright future ahead of me.

I will not let anyone

or anything

get in my way.

I understand.

From now on,

I will not put you in danger again.

Neither will I get in the way of your great ambitions.

I will regard you

as the esteemed Marshal Beichen.

I will not disturb you

or approach you anymore.

Good.

The past is in the past.

Do not linger on it.

(The other cracks have mostly been restored.)

(But why has this one crack)

(expanded instead?)

(What could be the reason for this?)

(Is it because)

(the wandering spirits of that rock demon that caused these cracks)

(have yet all been found?)

(Did I miss one?)

Tudi.

This is bad.

This is...
