[The Legends of Changing Destiny]

Episode 24

Are you all right?

I'm good. Don't worry.

I just want to silently admire the view of the sea.

I'm already so worn out after a few days of walking.

No. It shouldn't be. I can do this.

Before Rocky started the cultivation,

he could travel from Qilai Mountain to Wankong Mountain on foot.

I can walk

from Wankong Mountain to Qilai Mountain too,

even if it takes me a decade.

It's getting dark.

Oh, right. With his skills,

he should sleep on the tree back then.

It's far away from the wild beasts.

Do you need help?

Sir?

What are you doing here alone?

I'm just passing by here.

Young lady.

Where are you going alone?

I'm going to Qilai Mountain.

Why?

I'm looking for someone.

No, it's a rock.

I'm on my way there

to meet an old acquaintance of mine too.

You said you were looking for a stone.

Why don't we

move together?

Together?

Why?

Do you think I will slow you down?

No, I didn't mean that.

You've mistaken me, sir.

I'm worried that I might slow you down.

I suppose you're a deity, aren't you?

My cultivation is very lacking.

I'm afraid your journey will be slowed down

if you travel with me.

So be it. It's fine.

Anyway, walking too fast

with eternal life

is hard to pass the time.

I see. Let's go, sir.

You said you're heading to Qilai Mountain

for a friend.

What kind of friend is that?

What makes you travel all the way to meet him?

He's the most unique rock on this earth.

I want to check on him whether or not he's fairing well.

What's so special about him?

Young lady.

Do you need my help?

No, thanks.

I can handle this

well.

Respecting the elderly and caring for the young

is a fine tradition of Northern Yaoguang Cave.

You're free to go.

Can you even hunt anything?

It's fine.

We can pick some wild grass.

Sir, do you mind eating vegetarian food?

I brought a drawing scroll of wild vegetables.

There are some wild vegetables over here.

But it's not found in the scroll though.

Sir, you can't simply eat any grass,

or we'll get an upset stomach.

Really? Come here.

Let me have a look.

Let me see.

You see.

Isn't it there?

Oh, it is.

How come I didn't see it just now?

Sir.

It doesn't look like the drawing

on the scroll.

Let me see.

Here you go.

It's almost the same.

The drawing doesn't always look the same

as the real plant.

Am I right? You see.

Isn't it good?

Yes.

Sir, please have it.

(Is she having a bad dream?)

(Is it about the rock?)

(I shall see what it is in your dream)

(about the rock demon)

(that can be of my help.)

No worries.

I will look after Master.

Once everything is done,

I will escort Master back to Kunlun Mountain.

Army of the Nine Heavenly Gate is looming over.

If you linger in Qilai Mountain,

you will be killed by him.

There are spies sent by the Heavenly Court.

I can't leave Guanjiangkou for too long.

If the army of Nine Heavenly Gate arrives,

return to Guanjiangkou immediately, understood?

Lan.

You should listen to him this time.

If anything happens to La and my master,

I will trample Qilai Mountain.

Golden-Eyed Eagle, Silver-Eared Dog.

Escort Cunxin back to the White Sea.

- Yes. - Yes.

- My lord. - My lord.

A scout was found

patrolling outside Qilai Mountain,

followed by General Xuansheng and 10,000 heavenly soldiers.

They came really fast.

Lippy.

Gather all the elite troops from the underground lair.

The day to leave the underground lair

is coming soon.

Send all the troops out.

I will deal with General Xuansheng.

The rest

are your tasks.

Attack with full force.

- Yes. - Yes.

You don't need to come along.

Just stay in the chamber.

Why? Are you worried that I'll be in danger?

You'll steal their credit if you come.

Be careful.

Qilai Mountain has been cultivating strength for five years,

and finally, we got the chance to test it.

Today,

we'll use General Xuansheng's life. to offer sacrifice to the flag.

Let's move.

What has happened?

Are you all right, Your Highness?

By the way,

she said that she was about to break through the Ascendance Phase.

Two of you will be in charge of the attack

and defend Qilai Mountain.

Where are you going, my lord?

How could we be able to defend the mountain, my lord?

Don't go.

Did she try to break through

the Ascendance Phase before?

Martial Brother, let me tell you.

When I took Yang Lan as my disciple,

her brother told me

that she has sore points.

So no matter what,

she couldn't break through the Ascendance Phase.

Do you know

what her sore points are?

It's apparent. She wants to save her mother

and oppose the Heavenly Court.

Now that her mother is dead,

there's only this second sore point left.

No.

Her sore point is solved.

What? It's solved?

To be precise, she has let go of it,

not as obsessed as before.

In other words,

either she has seen the hope of rebelling against the Heavenly Court,

or she has other thoughts

that occupied her mind.

making her let go of her obsession.

Or it could be both.

Martial Brother.

Does it mean

that she can make a breakthrough?

That's great news.

Path of Enlightenment and Path of Alteration are different.

Practitioners of the former

can have sore points or not.

If not, they can break through smoothly.

If otherwise, they will never touch.

the threshold of the breakthrough.

Given her situation,

which makes it more likely to harm her life.

Martial Brother, I'll concoct some medicine

to ease her injuries.

But it can only relieve the symptoms, not cure her.

It's better to advise her to stop the cultivation.

Yang Lan doesn't have much time left.

She was once punished by Seven-Sword Severance,

taking a toll on her cultivation and life.

As of now, only the celestial peach can sustain her life.

Failing that...

I see. I got it.

The celestial peach can only last a year at most

after picking from the Celestial Peach Garden,

or it will go bad.

Now, besides the Celestial Peach Garden,

celestial peaches are nowhere to be seen.

Besides, it's only allowed to pick it

before the Gathering of Elites.

The garden is currently on heavy guard.

Not even Yang Yan can sneak into it.

It seems that the Heavenly Court already knows

that Yang Lan's nearing her death.

In my view,

the Heavenly Emperor is afraid of the Yangs

and plans to put Yang Lan to death.

Do you feel better now?

Come with me.

Look at you now.

You must rest well.

Are you worried about me?

There's a deal between us.

And of course, I have to protect you.

It's part of the deal.

I'm fulfilling my duty.

Are you? If I provoke the Heavenly Court,

will you help me?

I did consider it before.

I was thinking

that if you got me involved,

probably Yang Yan couldn't stay out of this.

With his assistance,

we still stand a chance too.

If we're at the end of the tether,

I'll tie you up

and hide you.

The Heavenly Court couldn't find you easily.

And once my cultivation is completed,

you won't be my match either.

I don't think I violate the agreement.

What about now?

Will you tie me up?

You aren't going to rebel against heaven.

You won't take any action until everything is on set.

We share the same goal.

What if I do,

will you hide me somewhere?

I will.

For safety reasons,

I will.

You're now in the Serenity Valley.

What about the affairs with the Heavenly Nine Gate?

You seem to have the energy to deal with that.

Qilai Mountain is our hard work.

How can I not care?

Besides, neither Lippy nor Kidnapper Lv

is capable enough

to have the situation under control.

Why do we need them

if they're not useful at an urgent time?

Well, rest up.

It's fine. Lie down.

The mighty King Rocky

is actually doing this right now

as if I'm not ambitious enough.

How is she?

As her master, I'm really worried.

She's my only human disciple.

What if something bad happens to her?

Youwu, a word.

Youwu.

I have something to tell you. Don't freak out.

Actually, Fengling left

Northern Yaoguang Cave

and went to Qilai Mountain to find you.

What? When did this happen?

It's been some time.

A few months ago.

She eavesdropped on our conversation.

So, we failed to keep it from her.

Why are telling me now?

She can't just go there alone.

Calm down.

There's no way I would let her go alone.

I wanted to catch up with her.

But Master didn't agree.

She said Fengling would be fine

and we didn't have to worry.

Don't worry.

You can trust Master.

He knows what he's talking about.

Youwu, is your heart in pain for her?

You're worried

about both of them.

Aren't you afraid they'll misunderstand something?

What are you talking about?

I always see Fengling as my sister.

Of course, I'm worried about her.

Sister?

You'd better make yourself clear.

Youwu, if you peg Fengling as a sister,

what do you think of Yang Lan as?

What's the matter?

Please come back now

Xuansheng is here.

The news of you not being here

is still kept from the rest.

Once everyone knows,

it will hurt the morale.

He's right, my lord.

Please stop frolicking around.

Please come back, my lord.

Otherwise, you'll be seeing our bodies.

Frolicking around?

I'm doing something serious.

Please come back, my lord.

Once Yang Lan gets better,

I'll be back right away.

I'm counting on you for now.

There's another thing.

Keep an eye out for me.

A friend of mine is coming to Qilai Mountain soon.

It's a human girl,

in her twenties named Fengling.

She's in the Crystallization Phase of the Path of Enlightenment.

Rocky.

There's out of a question to find her now.

And our men

are all occupied.

That's right.

The best solution now is that you come back.

My lord.

Got it.

(Yang Lan's still in critical condition.)

(I can't leave her alone.)

Have you heard anything from Master yet?

No.

It's been so long though.

What has happened?

First, it was Yao Cunxin, Saint Wuding,

Yang Yan,

and now it's the heavenly army of Nine Heavenly Gate.

We have reported all of these,

yet it hasn't been a single reply.

What do we do now?

(Her cultivation is too low.)

(In this case,)

(when can we reach the place?)

Sir, why didn't you wake me up?

It's already late.

If I keep this pace,

I won't be able to cover much ground today.

It's fine to rest for a day.

You walked too much yesterday.

No, I can't.

It will take forever

to reach Dongsheng Continent then.

Sir.

Do you find anything strange here?

What's wrong?

I remember

that this wasn't the place

we slept at last night.

Did someone switch the place

while we were sleeping?

Probably you're mistaken.

Look.

Isn't this the bonfire you lit yesterday?

Also,

you picked those branches too.

And everything around us.

looks the same.

You're right.

It's my problem.

Sir, I'm grateful to have you here.

Or I'll get confused.

Let's go, we need to hurry.

Venerable Master Wuji came to my dream

and told me that distinguished guests are coming from the West

and must be properly received.

We've been waiting for you.

Sorry to interrupt.

This way, please.

This way.

Sir.

The Taoist priest said Venerable Master Wuji sent him a dream

asking him to receive us properly.

Is that really?

How would I know?

You should ask the Taoist priest.

Sir, you're an immortal.

Should we give him something

in return for his kindness?

Yes, I think so.

I'll give him

a chance to be enlightened.

That's a great gift indeed.

Demonic hordes,

you'll have nowhere to hide

in the woods.

Keep on and burn them all.

- Yes. - Yes.

Xuansheng is setting fire to the mountain.

What?

Scoundrel.

How dare Xuansheng set fire to Qilai Mountain!

What do we do now?

My lord, please come back now.

The entire Qilai Mountain is going to burn down.

We need you now.

Now.

Now?

Charge onto the warship to hunt Xuansheng down.

Us?

Can we?

What are you doing now? You asked us to hunt Xuansheng down ourselves.

Do you want us to get ourselves killed?

Use the secret weapon.

What are you doing?

Lippy.

Lippy.

Kidnapper Lv.

Xuansheng is setting fire to the mountain?

Why sit up?

Take me back to Qilai Mountain.

No, you can't. Martial Brother Youquan said

your condition is unstable.

Anything might happen to you.

If you stay here, Martial Brother Youquan can at least help you.

I'm fine.

I know my body well.

And I know about the medicine.

No, this is no joke.

No, I must go back,

or it will be too late.

Qilai Mountain is our hard work.

I can't bear to watch it be destroyed.

Let's go back now.

Youwu.

Lingyun said

you're on the mend.

But you still need to rest for recuperation.

Martial Uncle Youquan,

thank you for saving my life.

Hold on, Martial Uncle?

I've guided you for a long time,

and you never call me "Master".

But you're calling him "Martial Uncle" now.

My goodness.

Martial Uncle Youquan.

I plan to return to Qilai Mountain now.

It shouldn't be a problem.

Going back now?

A long journey will make your condition act up.

But if you insist,

I will concoct some pills for you,

it can help a little.

Youwu.

Come with me.

Youwu.

The pills can only temporarily relieve her illness,

it won't cure her.

To cure her illness,

remember what I told you,

set the formation as fast as possible.

Thank you, Martial Brother. I know.

Sir.

You said you wanted to give the Taoist priest

a chance for enlightenment.

Do you forget about that?

I did.

It depends on him whether or not to be enlightened.

You did?

Really?

Put out the fire!

Hurry up.

Faster.

Venerable Master Wuji.

I properly welcomed the distinguished guests as much as I could.

Why do you do that to me?

I don't understand.

The Taoist priest claimed that Venerable Master Wuji tasked him.

to receive us and he wanted to take credit for it,

which is an impure claim.

If one can simply obtain

the chance for cultivating

by begging the Venerable Master Wuji,

that's sacrilegious.

Now that he hosted us

and I have to reward him in return,

he'll beg for even more

and get himself off the right track.

So, the present I gave him.

is to let him reflect on himself

and regain his pure heart.

Sir.

Look, what's that?

Even you can't see that clearly,

how can I see it

with my bad eyesight?

Perhaps someone rides on a cloud and passes by us.

Rides on a cloud?

He's so fast.

When can I attain his caliber?

Young lady.

We're about to reach Qilai Mountain.

What's your next plan?

Sir.

Where are you going afterward?

Do you want to stop by Qilai Mountain for some days?

Well, no.

I'm going to meet my acquaintance.

After I send you across the sea,

we shall split our ways then.

Thank you so much, sir.

What are you doing?

I know you've been assisting me along the road.

We traveled together.

Why did you say so?

Sir, no need to deny it.

I know my limitations.

I couldn't have traveled across thousands of li

within a few days.

If it weren't for your help,

it would've taken forever to reach Qilai Mountain.

And I wouldn't even know

if I'd still be alive.

But I'm so greedy

thinking of seeking your help

if something happens.

when I reach Qilai Mountain.

I shouldn't be having that thought.

I'd like to beg for your forgiveness.

Please forgive me. Your kindness is beyond me,

but I can only thank you with a bow.

Sir.

I should continue the journey by myself.

Rocky managed to walk through the journey even before he cultivated.

I think I'm capable of that too.

Let's bid goodbye here.

Sir, this is...

Just take it

as a farewell present.

You're a lady,

and you should behave like one.

You make me feel

as if I were sending off my own daughter for marriage.

Oh my.

You make me worried.

Isn't there someone named Yang Lan by his side?

She's an unparalleled beauty.

Since you're going there,

you can't let her outperform you.

Take this with you.

If you want to seek my help,

it can help you.

Thank you, sir.

If

I were weak to leave Youquan,

would you abandon those demons

and stay with me?

You've been so kind to me.

I don't think this is part of the agreement.

I have a feeling

that I won't be able

to repay you in this lifetime.

If one day

I betrayed my promise

and turned down your request,

would you blame me?

Yes, I will.

If you renege on your promise,

I will make you regret it for good.

Will you?

That's good, though.

King Rocky is back.

Fellow demons, let's charge.

Let's charge

How dare you set fire to kill us?

You're seeking your death wish.

My lord.

My lord, you're finally back.

I thought I wouldn't be able to see your

before I die.

Enough.

I'm back now.

You're the grand chancellor here.

Don't be a cry baby.

You're embarrassing me.

It's a tear of joy.

Rocky, the army of the Heavenly Nine Gate was overtaken.

And I've looked around.

All the heavenly generals and soldiers.

are defeated.

No one escaped.

What's that? A demon?

It doesn't look like one.

It should be a spirit instrument

refined by a soul.

A spirit instrument?

No one can use it if the instrument has a master.

I don't eat meat, anyway.

Cook it into a snake broth if you want.

How dare you!

What you're going to do to my spirit instrument?

What about a hot pot?

We can share it.

Remember to save some for Yang Lan.

You darned rock demon.

You are a filthy and despicable scoundrel.

How dare you eat my scarlet dragon?

I'll make you pay.

I'll make the souls of your ancestor

never rest.

You'll regret it, demon.

I, King Rocky, have always admired heroes.

Having such a backbone as General Xuansheng does,

I admire you the most.

Lippy.

Give him back and lock him up by his shoulder blades.

Please take good care of him.

Don't waste his iron backbone.

By the way,

you can ask General Xuansheng

about the list of the generals of the Nine Heavenly Gate

and the weapons used.

If he doesn't confess,

make him talk

by any means.

Like salt or pinching his fingers.

If you faint,

wake you up to repeat the same punishment.

Dig the answer out of his mouth.

My lord.

Treating the captive well is the way a gentleman does.

But did they treat us well?

I want all those heavenly generals to think that I'm crazy

and be intimidated by me.

So that no one dares provoke Qilai Mountain again.

Understood.

Rocky.

There are four more left.

How do we deal with them?

Release them

and have them report to Gu Jing.

that General Xuansheng is in my hand.

Let's see how he reacts.

Yes.

Bring this up.

Be careful.

Come.

Put it here.

Good.

Very good.

She prefers a simple and elegant style.

All right.

Remember.

The room shouldn't be too colorful.

All right.

My lord, Xuansheng can't endure the punishment,

and he confessed everything. Here's the record.

You'll handle this by yourself.

Give me a hand.

Coming.

Yes, my lord.

Hey.

Why is the cabinet here?

It's blocking the window.

Yes, my lord.

Put a big bed here.

Yes, my lord.

I want the softest bedding here

and open the window wide.

Yes, my lord.

For good ventilation.

I've taken note of it.

1

For this side, let me think.

1

Put a big medicine cabinet.

Medicine cabinet.

So she can refine pills easily.

Right?

Yes, my lord.

Put more flowers and plants in the room.

5

Yes, my lord.

Make sure they're fresh every day.

Yes, my lord.

Be careful.

Here.

Put it gently.

Put it here.

It's done.

My lord, Gu Jing's envoy is here.

You deal with it first. I'll come soon.

Yes, my lord.

I traveled a long way

to this remote place of yours

is already giving you face.

Yet your leader

hasn't come out to meet yet

or allowed me to see General Xuansheng.

What are you up to?

Let's make it simple.

What's your request?

Fire away.

Release General Xuansheng.

Sure.

Give me the celestial peach in exchange.

The celestial peach?

Sure.

You're indeed straightforward, King Rocky.

But speaking of which,

General Xuansheng

is one of the four divine generals of the Nine Heavenly Gate.

He is worth more than just a celestial peach.

But...

Cut your crap.

Trading General Xuansheng for the celestial peach.

is a big loss for me.

If you want to haggle,

I'd rather let him rot in the Heavenly Prison.

If you can't get me the celestial peach,

Lord Gu

will be seeing General Xuansheng's body.

King Rocky, how many celestial peaches do you want?

One hundred.

One hundred?

King Rocky.

You're asking for too much.

No, I'm not.

It's a fair price,

and I'm not going to give a discount.

If Lord Gu doesn't agree to this deal,

there's no point in continuing the negotiation.

King Rocky.

Here's the thing.

Before I left,

Lord Gu instructed me

to visit General Xuansheng

when I arrived at Qilai Mountain.

Please allow me, King Rocky.

If I can't see him,

the deal won't be able to continue,

let alone the celestial peach.

Am I right?

Sure.

Since you're here,

let me show you around.

Put your swords away.

Ignore them.

Let's go.

Where are we?

Wait...

Why?

Didn't you insist on visiting him?

I...

Did you torture him?

This is ridiculous.

Zeng Yun.

General Xuansheng.

Zeng Yun, help me.

General Xuansheng.

I will do anything in my power for you.

Please wait patiently, General.

Please wait.

Zeng Yun.

Ask Lord Gu to save me.

He's a pure demon.

He will kill me.

Zeng Yun.

You must ask Lord Gu

to save me.

Once I get out,

I will thank him handsomely.

I will.

Zeng Yun.

You're Zeng Yun?

Yes.

You said I tortured him.

No.

Yes.

I admit that.

I know this is a bad habit.

But I'm just a rock

who dwells deep inside the mountain

without much knowledge.

Why do you have so much expectation

for a mere rock?

Besides,

I haven't got the celestial peach yet.

No, I...

I'm more aggressive.

And I should vent my anger somewhere else, right?

No.

King Rocky...

Before Lord Gu

turns down my request,

I will try my best

to control my anger

and keep General Xuansheng alive.

If he turns down the request,

I assure you,

General Xuansheng's soul

will never return to you.

No, please don't. King Rocky.

So, you'd better report everything here without missing a single thing about Gu Jing.

Besides, your fellow

General Xuansheng

has earnestly asked for your help,

you should leave now.

Don't delay the time to save him.

Do you

agree?

Did he really say that?

Yes, he did.

Who gave that mere rock demon the guts

to challenge me?

How cocky.

This is ridiculous!

Your Highness.

Let's be ready for both plans.

Inform Nuojia to return as fast as possible.

That one hundred celestial peaches,

he'd better keep his fingers crossed to eat them.
