Till The End of The Moon (2023) s01e31 Episode Script
Episode 31
1
Jiumin, this is Hengyang Sect.
Let's go.
The Immortal Sect Competition
will be held here a few days later.
I'll show you around
to widen your horizons first.
It's really magnificent, right?
Let's go and meet Chief Qu.
Allow me to introduce him.
This is my new disciple, Cang Jiumin.
It's him.
He was just like Master.
They were both
killed by me as the Devil God.
I'm Jiumin. Nice to meet you, Chief Qu.
Have a seat.
Not bad.
Zhaoyou, you finally took in
a normal-looking disciple.
This is your biggest progress
in the last century or so.
Look at what you're talking about.
You really suck at complimenting.
Jiumin,
you came at a bad time.
My daughter, Li Susu, just left.
I'll call her back now
and let you two meet.
Thank you, Chief Qu.
However, since I joined Xiaoyao Sect,
I've decided to focus on cultivation.
Nothing else interests me.
If there's a chance,
I'll meet Ms. Susu next time.
Today,
I'm here to consult you
about something.
Sure. Go ahead and ask.
I'll see what I can do.
Five hundred years ago,
I used to live in the Sheng Kingdom.
I had a friend
who resembled your disciple, Gongye Jiwu.
I wonder
if there's any secret behind it.
Jiwu has no parents.
He's not even
an ordinary person in the usual sense.
He used to be in the same sect
as Immortal Buxu from Xiaoyao Sect.
A sudden incident took his life.
Back then, Immortal Buxu
came to Hengyang Sect
and borrowed an immortal artifact
called Crystal Lamp.
It's said to be made
by the ancient God of War.
Although it was slightly broken,
it still helped to nurture spirits.
He put Xiao Lin's spirit in it
and sank it into the core spot
of Heaven Lake.
Since then,
the Crystal Lamp gradually thawed
several centuries later.
With the nourishment of divine power,
a baby was born.
I named the kid Gongye Jiwu.
I think you've guessed
who he really is.
He's such a special person.
Don't you want to talk me out
of keeping him in my sect?
Immortal Buxu won't be wrong.
I also think Jiumin is a good kid.
If there's a good chance to enlighten him,
he might achieve something great.
I trust your judgment.
Fantastic.
Now you know how to compliment me.
I was complimenting your disciple.
I did it.
Pang Yizhi.
Now I know how
you rebuilt Xiao Lin's body.
The Heaven Lake of Hengyang Sect
is beautiful.
The chief of the Hengyang Sect
has told me everything.
You once asked me
for a bottle of my heart's blood.
It must be one of the requirements
to rebuild Xiao Lin.
As for the rest,
even if you don't tell me,
I'll find out by myself one by one.
To rebuild the body of a deceased person,
you need the blood of his enemy,
the tears of his lover,
and the hair and flesh of the deceased.
Lastly,
you need to activate Soul-Gathering Array
where divine energy is most abundant.
The tear of Ye Xiwu's lover.
The blood of her enemy.
I have them both.
These are not difficult to acquire.
As for her hair and flesh…
This eye
was hers in the first place.
At most,
I'll gouge it out and return it to her.
However, I'll still need the array.
Where can I learn Soul-Gathering Array?
You can't bring back the dead.
Practicing this spell
is against nature's way.
You're doing it
to satisfy your own obsession.
Are you trying to stop me?
Is this why
you've been keeping Gongye Jiwu safe?
You felt guilty toward him.
However,
you did it despite knowing this.
You simply miss her.
However, it's really unnecessary
to cast this spell to rebuild her.
What do you mean by unnecessary?
I've lived 500 years just to find her.
Pang Yizhi.
You can't stop me.
Gongye Jiwu,
you look unsettled and troubled.
Did something happen?
This was supposed to be a good thing.
My junior disciple, Li Susu,
got out of her retreat a few days ago.
So…
she was the cause of your concerns?
After she came back,
it was as if she went through something
and completely changed.
She has a pure spiritual body.
My master looked after her meticulously.
I've grown up with her since childhood
and she had never been in love.
Now, she seems like a different person
after going through her tribulation.
I don't know how to approach her.
Gongye Jiwu.
Don't be so pessimistic.
She didn't understand love in the past,
so she couldn't
really respond to your feelings.
Now, she's all grown up.
Even if it means you have to start anew,
isn't it a chance
for you to win her heart?
To be honest with you,
I actually…
I was born 500 years ago.
Five hundred years ago?
Yes.
I had no emotions or love back then.
I couldn't even feel happy or sad normally
until someone showed up.
This person taught me what love,
happiness, and sadness were.
What happened after that?
After that,
I could finally feel her feelings for me,
but I couldn't make her stay.
I've been searching for her for 500 years.
If she can make you think of her
and miss her until now,
she must be your true love.
You mentioned it so lightly,
but I assume it must be a sad story
that agonizes you.
Love is the source of sorrow.
I guess I should take my time.
I've waited ten years after all.
To be frank with you,
I feel particularly close to you.
I don't need
to hide anything in front of you.
I can say whatever I want.
Although we've only met not long ago,
you feel like an old friend.
I keep feeling
that we've been close friends
for many years.
To me,
you're already my old friend.
I used to have a friend
whom I was indebted to.
He looked just like you.
I've admired and imitated him
since young.
I wanted to live like him.
Now,
I've joined the immortal sect
to learn immortal arts
and make friends with someone like you.
Maybe I have the chance
to live like him now.
I cherish this a lot.
I think it's also my pleasure
to befriend you.
You have a strong heart
and an intelligent mind.
I cherish the days
of cultivating with you in Xiaoyao Sect.
Although I don't know
what you've been through,
it doesn't matter.
No matter what happened in the past,
you will always be my friend.
Friend?
By the way, Jiumin,
I think you haven't told me
why you came
to look for me today.
I heard that your sect
has a spell called Soul-Gathering Array.
Have you heard of it before?
SCRIPTURE HALL
BOOK OF DEMONOLOGY
Book of Demonology?
Speaking of which,
I hadn't heard
of the Devil God's tale yet.
SKY-SLASHING SWORD
The Sky-Slashing Sword
is the Devil God's hand.
The Bone-Refining Seal is his heart.
GOD-SLAUGHTERING CROSSBOW
It's that crossbow.
So that's the God-Slaughtering Crossbow.
It's one of the three devil weapons.
They interact with the devil fetus,
provide Devil God's power to it,
and also guide those
who are looking for it.
The devil fetus?
Devil God's power?
SOUL-GATHERING SPELL
Soul-Gathering Spell.
No wonder Pang Yizhi wouldn't tell me.
It's actually a forbidden demonic spell.
Nonetheless, I found it anyway.
Now my progress on Heartless Way
is slower than the rate
of my power's disappearance.
Besides, Heartless Way
isn't something
that can be achieved shortly.
Seems like sealing the evil bone
won't be effective for too long.
Maybe I can find other methods
in the Book of Demonology.
Now,
I've memorized the ways
to launch the array.
Wait.
There's a method of replacement
that requires no spirit.
SCRIPTURE HALL
I've found the residence
of that immortal girl you told me to find.
It's by Heaven Lake of Hengyang Sect.
DEVIL FETUS
The origin of the Devil God
is called the devil fetus.
If the evil bone dwells in a body,
it turns into a new devil
after accumulating sins.
When it interacts with the devil weapons,
it'll obtain the Devil God's power.
When it's born,
its time, location,
and host can't be told.
It's difficult to locate.
The bone will not perish
if its origin is not eradicated.
According to these books,
Tantai Jin is the devil fetus.
However, it only says
what the devil fetus is.
It didn't state
how to destroy the evil bone.
Although my pure spiritual body
can suppress the evil bone
and be free from its seduction for now,
my power is receding day by day.
I don't know
how much longer it can be sealed.
Seems like
I can only use the divine energy
of Mount Changze
plus the assistance
of Chongyu Harp's power for now.
I can't let the evil bone
get out of control.
That immortal girl
returned to this house.
I'm sorry
for intruding.
BOOK OF DEMONOLOGY
Soul-Gathering Array.
This array is stimulated
by the spirit of the deceased.
If no spirit is available,
a drop of blood from a pure spiritual body
can gather the required soul as well.
Gather the soul.
The blood from a pure spiritual body.
She has a pure spiritual body.
My master looked after her meticulously.
If I can obtain
Lady of Spirituality's blood,
I can retrieve Ye Xiwu's spirit.
Maybe…
she can be like Gongye Jiwu.
This Heaven Lake…
The sight of the moon
reminds me of home.
There was a lake as well.
In the summer,
it was clear and cool.
I used to lay beside it
and watch the stars
while fireflies fly around the bushes.
What is the name of that lake?
Where is it?
Somewhere far away.
I'll take you there if I get the chance.
Now, I'm here,
but you're gone.
This harp.
What was that just now?
Was it the evil bone?
I'd better go meditate
in the spiritual well.
I knew it.
How could it be her?
The Bone-Refining Seal
is the Devil God's heart.
It'll definitely guide us
to find our lord's devil fetus.
I didn't expect
that we'd come to beg
this old geezer one day.
Even after 10,000 years,
our lord's seal is still intact.
I'd feel so delighted
every time I heard Dimian's cry of agony.
Rest assured.
Our lord's seal
can only be undone by Bone-Refining Seal.
Dimian won't be able to get away.
You had never come
in 10,000 years.
What's your business here today?
Let's cut to the chase.
Dimian,
you and Chuhuang
have been married for many years.
Do you know how to remove a seal
that's enhanced by the immortals?
If you need my help,
don't you think
you should tell me the whole story first?
During the last 500 years,
although we didn't find the devil fetus,
we accidentally discovered
that Bone-Refining Seal
was sealed in Shangqing Realm.
It's a shame that the Bone-Refining Seal
was guarded by immortals' seals.
We can't retrieve it so easily.
So now,
you've found a way in
and you want me to tell you
how to undo the seal
so that you can retrieve the weapon.
Take it.
As long as
you shoot the mantra into the seal,
you should be able to remove the seal
with your demonic power.
You're surprisingly cooperative.
We'll thank you
after we retrieve the devil weapon.
Finally, someone is looking
for the Bone-Refining Seal for me.
As long as
they shoot the mantra into the seal,
I'll no longer
need to stay in this hellhole.
One celestial soldier.
Skip.
I'll take it if you don't.
-One Demon of Drought, Siying.
-Come on.
What game are you playing?
This is called Devil Versus God.
It's super fun.
It's said to be invented by Immortal Buxu.
It's popular everywhere.
Everyone in our sect is so proud of it.
-Shuffle them.
-Your card is the evil bone.
-Come on.
-Try it. You'll love it.
However, it may backfire
if paired with other identity cards.
It'll be stronger
if paired with the devil fetus
because it'll summon
the ultimate Devil God.
At this moment, if there are
no identity cards of gods on the table,
the Devil God wins.
The ultimate Devil God?
Yes.
With the devil fetus and the evil bone,
the ultimate Devil God will resurrect.
By then, the Devil God
will possess devil weapons
like the God-Slaughtering Crossbow.
If there's still no god showing up,
the Devil God
can activate the ultimate weapon,
All-Grieving Way.
However, Chronicles
of Four Continents stated
that the Devil God
was killed 10,000 years ago.
The Devil God is born out of sins.
As long as there's pain
in the mortal world,
the Devil God
will be born one after another.
When the devil fetus
and devil weapons reappear,
the Devil God will resurrect.
The Three Realms
will face destruction by then.
Yes.
I heard that Yunchang Sect was wiped out
by Siying and Jingmie,
the remnants of the Devil God.
I heard it was Yiyue Tribe
who made a pact with the Devil God
that had lost the devil fetus.
That's why they wreaked havoc.
They're trying to find the fetus
through the devil weapons.
Then what do the weapons
have to do with Yunchang Sect?
I have no idea.
Anyway, the devil fetus
is the origin of all evil.
It's safe to say that.
So they've been searching for it
for 500 years
and they found nothing even until now?
If the devil fetus refuses to show up,
the Devil God won't be resurrected, right?
It's not as easy as that.
Even though the fetus's will
may not be controlled by the Devil God,
what the evil bone and devil weapons carry
is the Devil God's will.
It's predestined.
How can it be altered so easily?
If…
the devil fetus does show up,
what will happen?
If the devil fetus shows up now,
the demons will surely go all out
and do anything to awaken it
in order to revive the Devil God.
Now, there's no god in this world.
If they manage to revive the Devil God,
even if the immortal sects try their best,
I'm afraid
we won't be able to stop his resurrection.
The Three Realms' doom will be inevitable.
This is horrible.
Then we should find the devil fetus
and kill it before the demons find it.
-That's right.
-What are you doing?
-Master is here.
-Master.
Are you slacking off again?
-Come on.
-Put them away.
-Hurry up.
-Come on.
Master.
Not bad.
Despite training hard for the competition,
you still remember to treat your master.
Not bad at all.
Chief Cen is about
to return from his traveling.
Please go welcome him at the hall.
-Welcome back, Chief Cen.
-Welcome back, Chief Cen.
Welcome back, Father.
Mi'er.
This Wind-Harnessing Fan
is forged with rare spiritual gems
from Four Continents.
It's perfect for you.
-Take it.
-Thank you, Father.
The Immortal Sect Competition is coming.
I hope that you will train harder,
kill more demons,
and preserve
Chixiao Sect's good reputation.
Yes.
I shall not fail your expectations.
Chief Cen.
A letter from Hengyang Sect.
TIME IS THE ESSENCE.
PLEASE COME SOON FOR A DISCUSSION.
The destruction of Yunchang Sect
is a warning for all immortal sects.
We must unite even more firmly
and give the Demon Realm no chance.
Nothing is more dangerous
than underestimating our enemies.
As per the current intel,
the two demons are eager
to enter Shangqing Realm.
They must be after something.
I think this intel is reliable.
Last month,
when I assigned guards
to the entrance of Shangqing Realm,
we suffered from a sneak attack.
An elder even got injured.
Thankfully, there was a barrier,
so it didn't escalate.
Really?
Back then, I thought
Penglai Islet offended somebody.
I didn't expect that
it was related to Barren Abyss.
The Immortal Sect Competition is imminent.
For this event,
we must select young blood
to fight against the Devil God.
Why don't we let them come to this event
and capture them in one fell swoop?
The intention of Immortal Zhaoyou is that
since those two
want to go to Shangqing Realm,
let's host the competition right there.
If they want to get something,
we must deny
all access to Shangqing Realm.
How could we host the competition there?
Aren't we just inviting
the wolf into the house
and let them have their way for nothing?
Everyone,
if we set a trap for them,
this is not inviting a wolf into the house
but luring a snake out of its hole.
Well done.
He's really something.
Do those bunch of cunning folks think
it's so easy to plot against us?
In that case,
why don't we just do as they wish
to live up to such a grand design?
All we want is the Bone-Refining Seal.
There's no need to engage in a conflict.
I heard of a minor immortal sect
at the North Sea
called Purple-Of-Ursa Isles.
Perhaps we can pretend
to be their sect members.
Jiumin, this is an old tradition.
In Hengyang Sect, we must have
the roast chicken of Mount Changze
which has accumulated divine energy
as a great source of nourishment.
Up Mount Changze
stretches the way
to the gods' former residence,
Shangqing Realm.
Shangqing Realm?
From this day onward,
Yuqing Palace will be closed.
Shangqing Realm
will house no god anymore.
All of you
may go on your separate ways.
Since War God Mingye's departure,
Shangqing Realm has been closed.
Jiumin, do you know about this too?
Our immortal sects were established
according to the will of the gods
and regarded eliminating demons
and upholding justice as our duty.
However, it's a hard job.
Hey, stop complaining about that.
Once the competition is held,
we can check it out.
Will the competition
be held in Shangqing Realm?
Yes, Heaven Gate of Triones
is the entrance.
Heaven Gate of Triones
could be found because of the war
between the gods and the demons
when the ancient Devil God
broke the Heavenly Pillar.
However, it's usually invisible.
Only by the joint effort of all the chiefs
can it be opened.
By convention,
all the immortal sects
take turns to host the contest.
This year, it's Chixiao Sect's turn.
Chief Cen is simply a miser.
He asked us to do
the cleaning of Shangqing Realm.
Clean what?
Over the past 10,000 years,
the departure of gods
has left Shangqing Realm deserted,
which became the habitat
for some spirits and demons.
This year,
we hold the competition
in order to work together
to clear the realm of evil spirits.
By the way, I heard
that Lady of Spirituality will attend it.
She has got a reputation
among the immortals.
I bet a whole bunch of guys
are dying to meet her.
Li Susu will show up too?
It's a good chance
to ask her for a drop of her blood.
Li Susu,
no matter where I am,
people always talk about you.
Some guys even have asserted
that it doesn't matter
if they win the competition or not.
What matters most
is to win the gorgeous lady's heart.
Just ignore them.
That won't do.
Those libertines
should avoid me at all costs.
If not, I'll definitely beat them up.
You're so fierce.
They'll definitely hide from you
when they see you tomorrow.
You won't be able to beat them up.
Li Susu.
I have an idea.
Don't move.
What are you doing?
It's done.
You little sprite.
You can be at ease tomorrow.
Just leave the rest to me.
What are you up to this time?
I have a piece of a divine silk veil.
It can obscure
the face of the person who wears it.
Then I'll disguise myself as you
and teach those libertines
a lesson.
I think you're just trying
to play a trick on them
to have fun.
Fine. You need to have a bottom line.
Don't go overboard.
All right. I promise I won't.
Rest assured.
All the immortal sects are here.
We should depart too.

HEAVEN AND EARTH
All the immortal sects are here.
Who are they?
Hi.
We are from Land-And-Ocean Alliance.
May I know where you are from?
We are disciples of Immortal Beichen
from Purple-Of-Ursa Isles.
Purple-Of-Ursa Isles?
A minor immortal sect in the North Sea.
Nice to meet you.
-Let's go.
-Let's go.
What a huge crowd.
Look. It's the Hengyang Sect.
I guess it's almost time to begin.
Lady of Spirituality.
-She's gorgeous.
-She's beautiful.
That's right.
Is she Lady of Spirituality?
She's not as attractive
as the legends say.
She wears a magic veil.
Of course you see nothing here.
-I presume only her Mr. Right
-Is that Li Susu?
can know what she really looks like.
Just ask her for a drop of her blood
and Ye Xiwu will…
Lady of Spirituality.
Look. That's Cen Mi.
By the authority of his father,
chief of one of the three sects,
he's arrogant, avaricious, and lascivious.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the Immortal Sect Competition.
The criterion is the same
as that of the previous.
That is, how many demons you catch
and how long it takes.
Each competitor will receive
an empty Demon-Locking Sachet.
During the competition,
whenever you feel you've got enough,
you may leave the venue.
Finally,
depending on how long you spend
and how much your sachets weigh,
your rank will be determined.
You can find partners,
but each group may consist
of no more than three members.
It's almost time to begin.
Everyone,
get ready to depart.
HEAVEN AND EARTH
Shangqing Realm
has changed so much.
My top priority now
is to find a pure spiritual body.
My buddies,
it's a rare chance
to get access to the realm.
I have no intention of winning.
I just want to stroll around
and discover new things.
I'd rather go alone.
Please excuse me.
Jiumin.
-Lady of Spirituality.
-Ms. Susu.
I'm Liu Jianghai
of Land-And-Ocean Alliance.
Have you heard of my sword,
Rivers-In-Reverse?
I heard you finished your cultivation,
so I brought our sect's treasures
especially for you to appreciate.
Lady of Spirituality,
would you mind being my partner?
Gosh. What's that?
-Lady of Spirituality?
-Ms. Susu?
Little Moon told me about your plan.
This trick
will cause you two to be blacklisted.
It's fine. I don't like being bothered.
She likes playing pranks,
so we're killing two birds with one stone.
If you're uncomfortable,
I can get rid of the disguise.
Susu.
I can't be your partner this year.
Don't pressure yourself too much.
Don't worry. I'll just take a stroll.
My allies,
the barriers of all regions
are to be opened.
Let's make it a fair competition
and rid Shangqing Realm of demons.
Now,
the competition officially begins.
We've put so much effort into this.
Let's hope the two demons
will bite the hook.
Wonderful.
It's a wonderful plan to lure them out.
I wonder what Chief Qu has in mind.
Since the first competition,
all immortal sect members know
that as long as you chant
the mantra during the event,
you'll be teleported back
to Hengyang Sect.
As long as the two demons show up,
we'll be able
to lock onto the two demons
based on our disciples' position.
By then, we'll set up the barrier
and eliminate them personally.
Siying.
Demonic energy is abundant here.
The Bone-Refining Seal must be here.
Nian Baiyu.
Search over there.
Report to us if you find anything.
Yes.
What?
He has followed us for 500 years.
Do you still not trust him?
What do you know?
You can't read their minds.
Let's go.
You…
Harder.
Greetings.
As long as you do a good job,
Chixiao Sect will reward you generously.
Thank you.
Cen Mi.
We've found Lady of Spirituality.
Shangqing Realm is a vast place.
Even if I had entered Mingye's
Fleeting-Life Prajna before,
looking for Li Susu
is still like
dredging for a needle in the sea.
Those are
disciples of Chixiao Sect.
It's you.
Cen Mi.
I've never offended you before.
Why did you snatch my things?
What are you looking at?
If you may be so kind, Ms. Susu,
why don't you let me see your face?
Not only will I return
the Demon-Locking Sachet to you,
but I'm also willing
to watch the ruins
of Shangqing Realm with you.
How can Chief Cen
have such a shameless son like you?
You scoundrel.
Go!
Let go of me.
Let go of me.
If you prefer not to take your veil off,
allow me to do it for you.
You're as pretty as expected.
Ms. Susu,
I've been admiring you for so long.
Please accept my affection today.
Don't touch me.
I'll shout for help.
We're just on a date.
There's no need to shout.
You rogue.
We're on a date?
In your dreams.
Who's there?
Who dares to assault me?
Come out!
Who are you?
Cang Jiumin of Xiaoyao Sect.
It's our personal affair.
This is none of your business.
Stop interfering.
However, I've already interfered.
If you disagree, why don't you
show me who's the boss here?
Cang Jiumin, I'm the son of Chief Cen.
Are you going to kill me?
-I dare not.
-Then why don't you pull back your swords?
However,
this is a vast realm
with many dangerous demonic spirits.
It's common for one disciple or two
to die in this place.
Cang Jiumin, let's talk this through.
There's no need to fight each other.
All right then.
-Apologize.
-Sorry.
I shouldn't have assaulted you just now.
I mean,
you should apologize to Ms. Susu.
Ms. Susu, I'm sorry for being rude.
Please be magnanimous
and tell him to spare me.
Forget it.
He's the son of Chief Cen.
-We can't do anything.
-Please.
Just let me go.
Ms. Susu,
I'll return your Demon-Locking Sachet.
Get lost.
Ms. Susu, look after your sachet.
Thank you.
You're Cang Jiumin?
Thank you for helping me out.
Was it Xiaoyao Sword Intent
that you're using?
It was my first time seeing it.
May I know who your master is?
Ms. Susu,
you don't need to be so courteous.
It was nothing.
I'm the disciple
of Immortal Zhaoyou.
I heard from my master
that Immortal Zhaoyou
just took in a young disciple
who has immense potential.
It turns out you're the one.
The demonic energy is getting denser.
The thing we're looking for
should be in that direction.
We can't blow our covers.
We can only walk slowly
in this vast Shangqing Realm.
What a bummer.
Shangqing Realm isn't our home ground.
Let's avoid direct conflicts.
They dress like the disciples
of Purple-Of-Ursa Isles.
Greetings. I'm Gongye Jiwu
of Hengyang Sect.
I'm Xisheng from Penglai Islet.
My master is Lord Liuzhi.
Nice to meet you.
I've been looking forward to meeting you.
Jiwu.
The Immortal Sect Competition
is totally different this time.
I have more important tasks
to entrust to you.
After the competition begins,
work with the disciples of
Penglai Islet and Xionggui Sect
and search for those two demons
in Shangqing Realm.
Once you find those two demons,
report to me as soon as possible.
Shangqing Realm
has the most positive energy in the world.
It's unfavorable toward demons,
but disciples of immortal sects
can improve their skills.
Once Siying and Jingmie come,
we can use this opportunity
to take them down.
The competition has been on for a while.
The two of us have been doing our rounds,
but we found nothing out of the ordinary.
Could it be
that there are no demons at all?
If they change their appearance
and dress up
as disciples of immortal sects,
they will be difficult to spot.
By the way, Cang Jiumin,
have you ever seen me
after you have settled down here?
No, I haven't.
I've only heard of you.
I caught myself in a mess.
If I tell him the truth,
will he get angry?
Cang Jiumin.
I…
What is that place?
That's Yuqing Palace.
It used to be
where the gods' nuptials,
funerals, and rituals
took place 10,000 years ago.
In the end,
I still came back here.
Tantai Jin.
it's so hard
to erase you from my mind.
Why can't I get rid of your image
no matter where I go?
Mingye,
I want to ask you one thing.
Have you ever,
even a little bit,
even for one second,
had any feelings for me?
Mingye.
In order to fight against the Devil God
and safeguard the world,
you did give up on Sangjiu.
How did you do that?
Why am I always so indecisive?
I'm always immersed
in my memories of 500 years ago.
I can't help it.
Mingye.
You and Sangjiu were separated.
It's the same for Ye Xiwu and me.
Ms. Li.
Can you do me
a favor?
It turns out
that you want to take a drop
of my pure spiritual body's blood
to retrieve your wife's spirit?
I thought…
May I have a drop of it?
I only need a drop of it.
In exchange,
I'll agree to whatever condition
you bring up.
Well…
Cang Jiumin, I…
I'm not a petty person
and I'd love to help you
get your wife back.
But I really can't spare you
a pure spiritual body's blood.
Why?
Actually…
Actually, I lied to you.
I'm not Li Susu.
She's my senior.
My name is Yue Ya.
So where is Li Susu?
Why don't you try one?
The wilted Ralls Janet tree
will sprout after 10,000 years.
Even a tree like you gets a second chance.
I must get more than you.
Aren't we waiting for Jiumin?
Don't worry. He's stronger than you.
Let's head back first.
Who's there?
Ye Xiwu.
Is that you?
Jiumin, this is Hengyang Sect.
Let's go.
The Immortal Sect Competition
will be held here a few days later.
I'll show you around
to widen your horizons first.
It's really magnificent, right?
Let's go and meet Chief Qu.
Allow me to introduce him.
This is my new disciple, Cang Jiumin.
It's him.
He was just like Master.
They were both
killed by me as the Devil God.
I'm Jiumin. Nice to meet you, Chief Qu.
Have a seat.
Not bad.
Zhaoyou, you finally took in
a normal-looking disciple.
This is your biggest progress
in the last century or so.
Look at what you're talking about.
You really suck at complimenting.
Jiumin,
you came at a bad time.
My daughter, Li Susu, just left.
I'll call her back now
and let you two meet.
Thank you, Chief Qu.
However, since I joined Xiaoyao Sect,
I've decided to focus on cultivation.
Nothing else interests me.
If there's a chance,
I'll meet Ms. Susu next time.
Today,
I'm here to consult you
about something.
Sure. Go ahead and ask.
I'll see what I can do.
Five hundred years ago,
I used to live in the Sheng Kingdom.
I had a friend
who resembled your disciple, Gongye Jiwu.
I wonder
if there's any secret behind it.
Jiwu has no parents.
He's not even
an ordinary person in the usual sense.
He used to be in the same sect
as Immortal Buxu from Xiaoyao Sect.
A sudden incident took his life.
Back then, Immortal Buxu
came to Hengyang Sect
and borrowed an immortal artifact
called Crystal Lamp.
It's said to be made
by the ancient God of War.
Although it was slightly broken,
it still helped to nurture spirits.
He put Xiao Lin's spirit in it
and sank it into the core spot
of Heaven Lake.
Since then,
the Crystal Lamp gradually thawed
several centuries later.
With the nourishment of divine power,
a baby was born.
I named the kid Gongye Jiwu.
I think you've guessed
who he really is.
He's such a special person.
Don't you want to talk me out
of keeping him in my sect?
Immortal Buxu won't be wrong.
I also think Jiumin is a good kid.
If there's a good chance to enlighten him,
he might achieve something great.
I trust your judgment.
Fantastic.
Now you know how to compliment me.
I was complimenting your disciple.
I did it.
Pang Yizhi.
Now I know how
you rebuilt Xiao Lin's body.
The Heaven Lake of Hengyang Sect
is beautiful.
The chief of the Hengyang Sect
has told me everything.
You once asked me
for a bottle of my heart's blood.
It must be one of the requirements
to rebuild Xiao Lin.
As for the rest,
even if you don't tell me,
I'll find out by myself one by one.
To rebuild the body of a deceased person,
you need the blood of his enemy,
the tears of his lover,
and the hair and flesh of the deceased.
Lastly,
you need to activate Soul-Gathering Array
where divine energy is most abundant.
The tear of Ye Xiwu's lover.
The blood of her enemy.
I have them both.
These are not difficult to acquire.
As for her hair and flesh…
This eye
was hers in the first place.
At most,
I'll gouge it out and return it to her.
However, I'll still need the array.
Where can I learn Soul-Gathering Array?
You can't bring back the dead.
Practicing this spell
is against nature's way.
You're doing it
to satisfy your own obsession.
Are you trying to stop me?
Is this why
you've been keeping Gongye Jiwu safe?
You felt guilty toward him.
However,
you did it despite knowing this.
You simply miss her.
However, it's really unnecessary
to cast this spell to rebuild her.
What do you mean by unnecessary?
I've lived 500 years just to find her.
Pang Yizhi.
You can't stop me.
Gongye Jiwu,
you look unsettled and troubled.
Did something happen?
This was supposed to be a good thing.
My junior disciple, Li Susu,
got out of her retreat a few days ago.
So…
she was the cause of your concerns?
After she came back,
it was as if she went through something
and completely changed.
She has a pure spiritual body.
My master looked after her meticulously.
I've grown up with her since childhood
and she had never been in love.
Now, she seems like a different person
after going through her tribulation.
I don't know how to approach her.
Gongye Jiwu.
Don't be so pessimistic.
She didn't understand love in the past,
so she couldn't
really respond to your feelings.
Now, she's all grown up.
Even if it means you have to start anew,
isn't it a chance
for you to win her heart?
To be honest with you,
I actually…
I was born 500 years ago.
Five hundred years ago?
Yes.
I had no emotions or love back then.
I couldn't even feel happy or sad normally
until someone showed up.
This person taught me what love,
happiness, and sadness were.
What happened after that?
After that,
I could finally feel her feelings for me,
but I couldn't make her stay.
I've been searching for her for 500 years.
If she can make you think of her
and miss her until now,
she must be your true love.
You mentioned it so lightly,
but I assume it must be a sad story
that agonizes you.
Love is the source of sorrow.
I guess I should take my time.
I've waited ten years after all.
To be frank with you,
I feel particularly close to you.
I don't need
to hide anything in front of you.
I can say whatever I want.
Although we've only met not long ago,
you feel like an old friend.
I keep feeling
that we've been close friends
for many years.
To me,
you're already my old friend.
I used to have a friend
whom I was indebted to.
He looked just like you.
I've admired and imitated him
since young.
I wanted to live like him.
Now,
I've joined the immortal sect
to learn immortal arts
and make friends with someone like you.
Maybe I have the chance
to live like him now.
I cherish this a lot.
I think it's also my pleasure
to befriend you.
You have a strong heart
and an intelligent mind.
I cherish the days
of cultivating with you in Xiaoyao Sect.
Although I don't know
what you've been through,
it doesn't matter.
No matter what happened in the past,
you will always be my friend.
Friend?
By the way, Jiumin,
I think you haven't told me
why you came
to look for me today.
I heard that your sect
has a spell called Soul-Gathering Array.
Have you heard of it before?
SCRIPTURE HALL
BOOK OF DEMONOLOGY
Book of Demonology?
Speaking of which,
I hadn't heard
of the Devil God's tale yet.
SKY-SLASHING SWORD
The Sky-Slashing Sword
is the Devil God's hand.
The Bone-Refining Seal is his heart.
GOD-SLAUGHTERING CROSSBOW
It's that crossbow.
So that's the God-Slaughtering Crossbow.
It's one of the three devil weapons.
They interact with the devil fetus,
provide Devil God's power to it,
and also guide those
who are looking for it.
The devil fetus?
Devil God's power?
SOUL-GATHERING SPELL
Soul-Gathering Spell.
No wonder Pang Yizhi wouldn't tell me.
It's actually a forbidden demonic spell.
Nonetheless, I found it anyway.
Now my progress on Heartless Way
is slower than the rate
of my power's disappearance.
Besides, Heartless Way
isn't something
that can be achieved shortly.
Seems like sealing the evil bone
won't be effective for too long.
Maybe I can find other methods
in the Book of Demonology.
Now,
I've memorized the ways
to launch the array.
Wait.
There's a method of replacement
that requires no spirit.
SCRIPTURE HALL
I've found the residence
of that immortal girl you told me to find.
It's by Heaven Lake of Hengyang Sect.
DEVIL FETUS
The origin of the Devil God
is called the devil fetus.
If the evil bone dwells in a body,
it turns into a new devil
after accumulating sins.
When it interacts with the devil weapons,
it'll obtain the Devil God's power.
When it's born,
its time, location,
and host can't be told.
It's difficult to locate.
The bone will not perish
if its origin is not eradicated.
According to these books,
Tantai Jin is the devil fetus.
However, it only says
what the devil fetus is.
It didn't state
how to destroy the evil bone.
Although my pure spiritual body
can suppress the evil bone
and be free from its seduction for now,
my power is receding day by day.
I don't know
how much longer it can be sealed.
Seems like
I can only use the divine energy
of Mount Changze
plus the assistance
of Chongyu Harp's power for now.
I can't let the evil bone
get out of control.
That immortal girl
returned to this house.
I'm sorry
for intruding.
BOOK OF DEMONOLOGY
Soul-Gathering Array.
This array is stimulated
by the spirit of the deceased.
If no spirit is available,
a drop of blood from a pure spiritual body
can gather the required soul as well.
Gather the soul.
The blood from a pure spiritual body.
She has a pure spiritual body.
My master looked after her meticulously.
If I can obtain
Lady of Spirituality's blood,
I can retrieve Ye Xiwu's spirit.
Maybe…
she can be like Gongye Jiwu.
This Heaven Lake…
The sight of the moon
reminds me of home.
There was a lake as well.
In the summer,
it was clear and cool.
I used to lay beside it
and watch the stars
while fireflies fly around the bushes.
What is the name of that lake?
Where is it?
Somewhere far away.
I'll take you there if I get the chance.
Now, I'm here,
but you're gone.
This harp.
What was that just now?
Was it the evil bone?
I'd better go meditate
in the spiritual well.
I knew it.
How could it be her?
The Bone-Refining Seal
is the Devil God's heart.
It'll definitely guide us
to find our lord's devil fetus.
I didn't expect
that we'd come to beg
this old geezer one day.
Even after 10,000 years,
our lord's seal is still intact.
I'd feel so delighted
every time I heard Dimian's cry of agony.
Rest assured.
Our lord's seal
can only be undone by Bone-Refining Seal.
Dimian won't be able to get away.
You had never come
in 10,000 years.
What's your business here today?
Let's cut to the chase.
Dimian,
you and Chuhuang
have been married for many years.
Do you know how to remove a seal
that's enhanced by the immortals?
If you need my help,
don't you think
you should tell me the whole story first?
During the last 500 years,
although we didn't find the devil fetus,
we accidentally discovered
that Bone-Refining Seal
was sealed in Shangqing Realm.
It's a shame that the Bone-Refining Seal
was guarded by immortals' seals.
We can't retrieve it so easily.
So now,
you've found a way in
and you want me to tell you
how to undo the seal
so that you can retrieve the weapon.
Take it.
As long as
you shoot the mantra into the seal,
you should be able to remove the seal
with your demonic power.
You're surprisingly cooperative.
We'll thank you
after we retrieve the devil weapon.
Finally, someone is looking
for the Bone-Refining Seal for me.
As long as
they shoot the mantra into the seal,
I'll no longer
need to stay in this hellhole.
One celestial soldier.
Skip.
I'll take it if you don't.
-One Demon of Drought, Siying.
-Come on.
What game are you playing?
This is called Devil Versus God.
It's super fun.
It's said to be invented by Immortal Buxu.
It's popular everywhere.
Everyone in our sect is so proud of it.
-Shuffle them.
-Your card is the evil bone.
-Come on.
-Try it. You'll love it.
However, it may backfire
if paired with other identity cards.
It'll be stronger
if paired with the devil fetus
because it'll summon
the ultimate Devil God.
At this moment, if there are
no identity cards of gods on the table,
the Devil God wins.
The ultimate Devil God?
Yes.
With the devil fetus and the evil bone,
the ultimate Devil God will resurrect.
By then, the Devil God
will possess devil weapons
like the God-Slaughtering Crossbow.
If there's still no god showing up,
the Devil God
can activate the ultimate weapon,
All-Grieving Way.
However, Chronicles
of Four Continents stated
that the Devil God
was killed 10,000 years ago.
The Devil God is born out of sins.
As long as there's pain
in the mortal world,
the Devil God
will be born one after another.
When the devil fetus
and devil weapons reappear,
the Devil God will resurrect.
The Three Realms
will face destruction by then.
Yes.
I heard that Yunchang Sect was wiped out
by Siying and Jingmie,
the remnants of the Devil God.
I heard it was Yiyue Tribe
who made a pact with the Devil God
that had lost the devil fetus.
That's why they wreaked havoc.
They're trying to find the fetus
through the devil weapons.
Then what do the weapons
have to do with Yunchang Sect?
I have no idea.
Anyway, the devil fetus
is the origin of all evil.
It's safe to say that.
So they've been searching for it
for 500 years
and they found nothing even until now?
If the devil fetus refuses to show up,
the Devil God won't be resurrected, right?
It's not as easy as that.
Even though the fetus's will
may not be controlled by the Devil God,
what the evil bone and devil weapons carry
is the Devil God's will.
It's predestined.
How can it be altered so easily?
If…
the devil fetus does show up,
what will happen?
If the devil fetus shows up now,
the demons will surely go all out
and do anything to awaken it
in order to revive the Devil God.
Now, there's no god in this world.
If they manage to revive the Devil God,
even if the immortal sects try their best,
I'm afraid
we won't be able to stop his resurrection.
The Three Realms' doom will be inevitable.
This is horrible.
Then we should find the devil fetus
and kill it before the demons find it.
-That's right.
-What are you doing?
-Master is here.
-Master.
Are you slacking off again?
-Come on.
-Put them away.
-Hurry up.
-Come on.
Master.
Not bad.
Despite training hard for the competition,
you still remember to treat your master.
Not bad at all.
Chief Cen is about
to return from his traveling.
Please go welcome him at the hall.
-Welcome back, Chief Cen.
-Welcome back, Chief Cen.
Welcome back, Father.
Mi'er.
This Wind-Harnessing Fan
is forged with rare spiritual gems
from Four Continents.
It's perfect for you.
-Take it.
-Thank you, Father.
The Immortal Sect Competition is coming.
I hope that you will train harder,
kill more demons,
and preserve
Chixiao Sect's good reputation.
Yes.
I shall not fail your expectations.
Chief Cen.
A letter from Hengyang Sect.
TIME IS THE ESSENCE.
PLEASE COME SOON FOR A DISCUSSION.
The destruction of Yunchang Sect
is a warning for all immortal sects.
We must unite even more firmly
and give the Demon Realm no chance.
Nothing is more dangerous
than underestimating our enemies.
As per the current intel,
the two demons are eager
to enter Shangqing Realm.
They must be after something.
I think this intel is reliable.
Last month,
when I assigned guards
to the entrance of Shangqing Realm,
we suffered from a sneak attack.
An elder even got injured.
Thankfully, there was a barrier,
so it didn't escalate.
Really?
Back then, I thought
Penglai Islet offended somebody.
I didn't expect that
it was related to Barren Abyss.
The Immortal Sect Competition is imminent.
For this event,
we must select young blood
to fight against the Devil God.
Why don't we let them come to this event
and capture them in one fell swoop?
The intention of Immortal Zhaoyou is that
since those two
want to go to Shangqing Realm,
let's host the competition right there.
If they want to get something,
we must deny
all access to Shangqing Realm.
How could we host the competition there?
Aren't we just inviting
the wolf into the house
and let them have their way for nothing?
Everyone,
if we set a trap for them,
this is not inviting a wolf into the house
but luring a snake out of its hole.
Well done.
He's really something.
Do those bunch of cunning folks think
it's so easy to plot against us?
In that case,
why don't we just do as they wish
to live up to such a grand design?
All we want is the Bone-Refining Seal.
There's no need to engage in a conflict.
I heard of a minor immortal sect
at the North Sea
called Purple-Of-Ursa Isles.
Perhaps we can pretend
to be their sect members.
Jiumin, this is an old tradition.
In Hengyang Sect, we must have
the roast chicken of Mount Changze
which has accumulated divine energy
as a great source of nourishment.
Up Mount Changze
stretches the way
to the gods' former residence,
Shangqing Realm.
Shangqing Realm?
From this day onward,
Yuqing Palace will be closed.
Shangqing Realm
will house no god anymore.
All of you
may go on your separate ways.
Since War God Mingye's departure,
Shangqing Realm has been closed.
Jiumin, do you know about this too?
Our immortal sects were established
according to the will of the gods
and regarded eliminating demons
and upholding justice as our duty.
However, it's a hard job.
Hey, stop complaining about that.
Once the competition is held,
we can check it out.
Will the competition
be held in Shangqing Realm?
Yes, Heaven Gate of Triones
is the entrance.
Heaven Gate of Triones
could be found because of the war
between the gods and the demons
when the ancient Devil God
broke the Heavenly Pillar.
However, it's usually invisible.
Only by the joint effort of all the chiefs
can it be opened.
By convention,
all the immortal sects
take turns to host the contest.
This year, it's Chixiao Sect's turn.
Chief Cen is simply a miser.
He asked us to do
the cleaning of Shangqing Realm.
Clean what?
Over the past 10,000 years,
the departure of gods
has left Shangqing Realm deserted,
which became the habitat
for some spirits and demons.
This year,
we hold the competition
in order to work together
to clear the realm of evil spirits.
By the way, I heard
that Lady of Spirituality will attend it.
She has got a reputation
among the immortals.
I bet a whole bunch of guys
are dying to meet her.
Li Susu will show up too?
It's a good chance
to ask her for a drop of her blood.
Li Susu,
no matter where I am,
people always talk about you.
Some guys even have asserted
that it doesn't matter
if they win the competition or not.
What matters most
is to win the gorgeous lady's heart.
Just ignore them.
That won't do.
Those libertines
should avoid me at all costs.
If not, I'll definitely beat them up.
You're so fierce.
They'll definitely hide from you
when they see you tomorrow.
You won't be able to beat them up.
Li Susu.
I have an idea.
Don't move.
What are you doing?
It's done.
You little sprite.
You can be at ease tomorrow.
Just leave the rest to me.
What are you up to this time?
I have a piece of a divine silk veil.
It can obscure
the face of the person who wears it.
Then I'll disguise myself as you
and teach those libertines
a lesson.
I think you're just trying
to play a trick on them
to have fun.
Fine. You need to have a bottom line.
Don't go overboard.
All right. I promise I won't.
Rest assured.
All the immortal sects are here.
We should depart too.

All the immortal sects are here.
Who are they?
Hi.
We are from Land-And-Ocean Alliance.
May I know where you are from?
We are disciples of Immortal Beichen
from Purple-Of-Ursa Isles.
Purple-Of-Ursa Isles?
A minor immortal sect in the North Sea.
Nice to meet you.
-Let's go.
-Let's go.
What a huge crowd.
Look. It's the Hengyang Sect.
I guess it's almost time to begin.
Lady of Spirituality.
-She's gorgeous.
-She's beautiful.
That's right.
Is she Lady of Spirituality?
She's not as attractive
as the legends say.
She wears a magic veil.
Of course you see nothing here.
-I presume only her Mr. Right
-Is that Li Susu?
can know what she really looks like.
Just ask her for a drop of her blood
and Ye Xiwu will…
Lady of Spirituality.
Look. That's Cen Mi.
By the authority of his father,
chief of one of the three sects,
he's arrogant, avaricious, and lascivious.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the Immortal Sect Competition.
The criterion is the same
as that of the previous.
That is, how many demons you catch
and how long it takes.
Each competitor will receive
an empty Demon-Locking Sachet.
During the competition,
whenever you feel you've got enough,
you may leave the venue.
Finally,
depending on how long you spend
and how much your sachets weigh,
your rank will be determined.
You can find partners,
but each group may consist
of no more than three members.
It's almost time to begin.
Everyone,
get ready to depart.
HEAVEN AND EARTH
Shangqing Realm
has changed so much.
My top priority now
is to find a pure spiritual body.
My buddies,
it's a rare chance
to get access to the realm.
I have no intention of winning.
I just want to stroll around
and discover new things.
I'd rather go alone.
Please excuse me.
Jiumin.
-Lady of Spirituality.
-Ms. Susu.
I'm Liu Jianghai
of Land-And-Ocean Alliance.
Have you heard of my sword,
Rivers-In-Reverse?
I heard you finished your cultivation,
so I brought our sect's treasures
especially for you to appreciate.
Lady of Spirituality,
would you mind being my partner?
Gosh. What's that?
-Lady of Spirituality?
-Ms. Susu?
Little Moon told me about your plan.
This trick
will cause you two to be blacklisted.
It's fine. I don't like being bothered.
She likes playing pranks,
so we're killing two birds with one stone.
If you're uncomfortable,
I can get rid of the disguise.
Susu.
I can't be your partner this year.
Don't pressure yourself too much.
Don't worry. I'll just take a stroll.
My allies,
the barriers of all regions
are to be opened.
Let's make it a fair competition
and rid Shangqing Realm of demons.
Now,
the competition officially begins.
We've put so much effort into this.
Let's hope the two demons
will bite the hook.
Wonderful.
It's a wonderful plan to lure them out.
I wonder what Chief Qu has in mind.
Since the first competition,
all immortal sect members know
that as long as you chant
the mantra during the event,
you'll be teleported back
to Hengyang Sect.
As long as the two demons show up,
we'll be able
to lock onto the two demons
based on our disciples' position.
By then, we'll set up the barrier
and eliminate them personally.
Siying.
Demonic energy is abundant here.
The Bone-Refining Seal must be here.
Nian Baiyu.
Search over there.
Report to us if you find anything.
Yes.
What?
He has followed us for 500 years.
Do you still not trust him?
What do you know?
You can't read their minds.
Let's go.
You…
Harder.
Greetings.
As long as you do a good job,
Chixiao Sect will reward you generously.
Thank you.
Cen Mi.
We've found Lady of Spirituality.
Shangqing Realm is a vast place.
Even if I had entered Mingye's
Fleeting-Life Prajna before,
looking for Li Susu
is still like
dredging for a needle in the sea.
Those are
disciples of Chixiao Sect.
It's you.
Cen Mi.
I've never offended you before.
Why did you snatch my things?
What are you looking at?
If you may be so kind, Ms. Susu,
why don't you let me see your face?
Not only will I return
the Demon-Locking Sachet to you,
but I'm also willing
to watch the ruins
of Shangqing Realm with you.
How can Chief Cen
have such a shameless son like you?
You scoundrel.
Go!
Let go of me.
Let go of me.
If you prefer not to take your veil off,
allow me to do it for you.
You're as pretty as expected.
Ms. Susu,
I've been admiring you for so long.
Please accept my affection today.
Don't touch me.
I'll shout for help.
We're just on a date.
There's no need to shout.
You rogue.
We're on a date?
In your dreams.
Who's there?
Who dares to assault me?
Come out!
Who are you?
Cang Jiumin of Xiaoyao Sect.
It's our personal affair.
This is none of your business.
Stop interfering.
However, I've already interfered.
If you disagree, why don't you
show me who's the boss here?
Cang Jiumin, I'm the son of Chief Cen.
Are you going to kill me?
-I dare not.
-Then why don't you pull back your swords?
However,
this is a vast realm
with many dangerous demonic spirits.
It's common for one disciple or two
to die in this place.
Cang Jiumin, let's talk this through.
There's no need to fight each other.
All right then.
-Apologize.
-Sorry.
I shouldn't have assaulted you just now.
I mean,
you should apologize to Ms. Susu.
Ms. Susu, I'm sorry for being rude.
Please be magnanimous
and tell him to spare me.
Forget it.
He's the son of Chief Cen.
-We can't do anything.
-Please.
Just let me go.
Ms. Susu,
I'll return your Demon-Locking Sachet.
Get lost.
Ms. Susu, look after your sachet.
Thank you.
You're Cang Jiumin?
Thank you for helping me out.
Was it Xiaoyao Sword Intent
that you're using?
It was my first time seeing it.
May I know who your master is?
Ms. Susu,
you don't need to be so courteous.
It was nothing.
I'm the disciple
of Immortal Zhaoyou.
I heard from my master
that Immortal Zhaoyou
just took in a young disciple
who has immense potential.
It turns out you're the one.
The demonic energy is getting denser.
The thing we're looking for
should be in that direction.
We can't blow our covers.
We can only walk slowly
in this vast Shangqing Realm.
What a bummer.
Shangqing Realm isn't our home ground.
Let's avoid direct conflicts.
They dress like the disciples
of Purple-Of-Ursa Isles.
Greetings. I'm Gongye Jiwu
of Hengyang Sect.
I'm Xisheng from Penglai Islet.
My master is Lord Liuzhi.
Nice to meet you.
I've been looking forward to meeting you.
Jiwu.
The Immortal Sect Competition
is totally different this time.
I have more important tasks
to entrust to you.
After the competition begins,
work with the disciples of
Penglai Islet and Xionggui Sect
and search for those two demons
in Shangqing Realm.
Once you find those two demons,
report to me as soon as possible.
Shangqing Realm
has the most positive energy in the world.
It's unfavorable toward demons,
but disciples of immortal sects
can improve their skills.
Once Siying and Jingmie come,
we can use this opportunity
to take them down.
The competition has been on for a while.
The two of us have been doing our rounds,
but we found nothing out of the ordinary.
Could it be
that there are no demons at all?
If they change their appearance
and dress up
as disciples of immortal sects,
they will be difficult to spot.
By the way, Cang Jiumin,
have you ever seen me
after you have settled down here?
No, I haven't.
I've only heard of you.
I caught myself in a mess.
If I tell him the truth,
will he get angry?
Cang Jiumin.
I…
What is that place?
That's Yuqing Palace.
It used to be
where the gods' nuptials,
funerals, and rituals
took place 10,000 years ago.
In the end,
I still came back here.
Tantai Jin.
it's so hard
to erase you from my mind.
Why can't I get rid of your image
no matter where I go?
Mingye,
I want to ask you one thing.
Have you ever,
even a little bit,
even for one second,
had any feelings for me?
Mingye.
In order to fight against the Devil God
and safeguard the world,
you did give up on Sangjiu.
How did you do that?
Why am I always so indecisive?
I'm always immersed
in my memories of 500 years ago.
I can't help it.
Mingye.
You and Sangjiu were separated.
It's the same for Ye Xiwu and me.
Ms. Li.
Can you do me
a favor?
It turns out
that you want to take a drop
of my pure spiritual body's blood
to retrieve your wife's spirit?
I thought…
May I have a drop of it?
I only need a drop of it.
In exchange,
I'll agree to whatever condition
you bring up.
Well…
Cang Jiumin, I…
I'm not a petty person
and I'd love to help you
get your wife back.
But I really can't spare you
a pure spiritual body's blood.
Why?
Actually…
Actually, I lied to you.
I'm not Li Susu.
She's my senior.
My name is Yue Ya.
So where is Li Susu?
Why don't you try one?
The wilted Ralls Janet tree
will sprout after 10,000 years.
Even a tree like you gets a second chance.
I must get more than you.
Aren't we waiting for Jiumin?
Don't worry. He's stronger than you.
Let's head back first.
Who's there?
Ye Xiwu.
Is that you?
