Episode 20
Shifu
We'd all be here waiting for you
Be careful
I'll take you up there
I want to go into the Lingxu Pavilion with Shifu, too
There won't be any danger with Xu Yourong beside him
Shifu doesn't need her protection
My Shifu is amazing, okay?
Meditating in the Lingxu Pavilion Will only make him even more amazing
Even though Sister Xu is number one on the Qingyun Standings,
But my Shifu is more amazing than her
I'll stop here
Wait for you to come back from apprehension
I will succeed
I see you're a little nervous
I'm afraid that my last chance of changing my destiny will be empty
The good are protected by heaven.
Wish you good luck.
You guys are the Zhou Empire's Heroes
The Zhou Emperor's sidemen
I'm also the Zhou Empire's people
Benefiting from every one of you seniors
Seniors, please accept a bow from Changsheng
To look for the opportunity to change my destiny
I have no choice but to interrupt you
Please forgive me
I know, you are all looking at me
Maybe you'd be curious, where does this nameless boy come from?
Maybe you'd be angry
Because of my impolite actions
But I'm very sorry
To survive, I have to find that man's notes
Please help me
What are you doing?
Why do you have a worried look on your face?
What's the thing?
No dangers in Lingxu Pavilion I'm thinking that Lingxu Pavilion is not that easy to apprehend
No, no, no
Nothing hard for your Shifu to understand
I frown because my injury hurts
Look, the poison is cured, but flesh hasn't grown yet
Are you a fool or am I a fool?
Tell me, what is it?
Nothing, really nothing
Well...
Your highness, look
There are "lying" written all over his face I just saw him whispering to mister just now
Listen, Thirty-Sixth, tell me the truth
What is it, looking down on us? Really not, really I'm not
I'm worrying about Changsheng
What's wrong with Shifu?
If you don't talk, I'll turn into a bear and eat you
Anyway you guys are not outsiders
Lingxu Pavilion is the last chance for Changsheng to change his destiny
He is suffering an incurable illness
He probably can't survive this year
Why don't you say it earlier?
I've known it just now
Changsheng is a doctor himself
His Shifu is a famous doctor as well They don't have a cure, how can I have one?
I have money, you have power
But can't help anything.
Can't save him!
What about me?
You don't have anything
I...
So he's here to look for Zhou Dufu's notes
about changing the destiny.
Then he'll be able to find the key to changing his destiny
Zhou Dufu's notes...
That's right, Zhou Dufu's notes
I think I've heard of it from my father
Oh, no
-Where are you going? -Your highness!
Can't let Shifu take the risk by himself! Go way!
Their sight seems to be looking in different directions
Which side is he looking at?
Why are his eyes closed?
All head portraits have been passed by already
Their eyes are all open.
Only his eyes are closed
Is it possible that the note is right here?
Princess, her majesty has ordered,
No one can enter the Lingxu Pavilion
It's alright, I am the princess of the Beast Clan
The Great Empress won't blame me
Princess, you are really irrational
Even her majesty will ignore this,
I will shall discipline you for Emperor Bai.
My Shifu will discipline me
None of your business! Chen Changsheng is meditating quietly in the Lingxu Pavilion
It's the glory of the champion.
If you break in, is it harmful to him?!
Anyway I gotta see Shifu right now!
Your highness,
Whatever may have happened, please wait until he comes out
I can't wait, don't try me!
Princess, you know I won't let you break the rule
Fine
Let's see whether you can nail Yourong.
Between these threads
There should be some order
The Lingxu Pavilion...
Is it related to birth dates of these heroes?
No no
The copper threads are not important Their positions are important
The stars
The copper threads are lines between the stars
[ Positions are relative ]
Sister Xu, I want to see Shifu
Don't disturb his meditation.
Do you know what he is doing now?
I know
What if he fails? So I must ensure he won't be distracted.
I, I just want to help him
More people, more ideas
Maybe if we think together, we'll find the answer
It requires a transparent heart to realize self-cultivation Strength doesn't necessarily lie in number
With fewer people distracting him
Changsheng has more chance to succeed
But he is already on the verge of death
I
Even he fails this time
I will beg my father and mother to help him
Whatever it is, I won't sit by indifferently
I understand your feelings.
How about we going in together?
Neither you nor I should disturb him
I will be guarding here
Stars reflect thousands of phenomena
and share similarities.
They attract souls and decide destinies One dies, another rises up
Power of stars is like that of people.
To change destiny equals to change your star.
If one want to change his own destiny
He must change the orbit of his star
How can that be possible?
What are you saying, how come I don't understand?
Little black dragon, Zhou Dufu said
That to change one's destiny
He must change the orbit of his star
So as to change his position in this world
and the roles he plays
Positions of the stars are relevant
If he cannot change the orbit of his own star
He can try to change the orbits of other stars around
So as to influence the orbit of his own star
That's amazing
Though Zhou Dufu is a villain, but he's a genius
In the same way
If one wants to change his destiny
He must start from the destinies of people in his life
The more intimate the people are with him
The more they can influence his destiny
See what else Zhou Dufu mentioned?
Looking you as the emperor makes me your chamberlain.
If I do not, then I'm not.
Zhou Dufu is really aggressive!
No wonder The Great Emperor could not bear him!
Why do you seem a little scared?
I saw something I shouldn't have seen
Zhou Dufu once created a Star Formation to defend the Demons
Emperor Taixong was delighted at first
But feared later.
That is the formation that is trapping me
Why did it fall into the hands of Taizong?
Destiny is not up to Taizong
But to ascend the throne as Emperor
Taizong used a secret way to sacrifice all heroes of Lingxu Pavilion
to the Star Formation
And changed his own destiny, fought off Zhou Dufu
And earned the throne
Taizong is really impudent
After the Emperor took control of the Star Formation
He thought that he was invincible enough to defeat the Demons
But Zhou Dufu thought that if Human Clan wants to defeat the Demons
It's up to the national power, wise emperor and the people
It's not something that the Star Formation is able to decide
He is right!
But Taizong sacrificed so many lives for the Astrolabe Formation
Then succeeded in changing his destiny
Are you gonna use this method, too?
There was no road, road is only under your feet
Which path to take, is up to you
If, changing my destiny involves sacrificing others
I'd rather not
Aren't there any other ways?
Unable to change your own star's orbit, so have to sacrifice others'
If I can change my star's orbit
I'll probably change my destiny
Except the Astrolabe Formation
What other powers can help me change the orbit of my star?
It's simply day-dreaming
Who can change their own star?
Even that bitch Tianhai cannot do that
Day-dreaming, day-dreaming
Maybe it will work
What will work?
Day has strong sunlight, weak starlight
I can't control my star's orbit
But I can borrow energy from the sun
I've lived for so long but never heard
that you can gather starlight in daytime
Changing destiny is changing impossible into possible
The sunlight is so strong
Why my spiritual sense is burnt under the sunlight?
I see, sun is also a star
But it's the star for all lives in this world
During daytime, stars, starlight, sunlight all gather into one
Oh no, my spiritual sense is becoming weak
Chen Changsheng
Something happened to Shifu? I gotta see him!
Your highness, please leave now
Lingxu Pavilion is Humans' sanctuary
You can't go in, I can't explain to her majesty
It won't look good for Baidi Emperor, either
Don't worry, I'll go have a look
I won't let anything happen to him
Okay, I won't go in
You help me check on him
Changsheng
You said there are 9 meridians unable to connect in your body
and the force of stars can't circulate
So it will spill when you bleed
But the black dragon has already helped you purify marrow
So you should be able to control it
Why does this happen?
Changsheng
Yourong, luckily there's you
Why does this happen?
Is it because Zhou Dufu's notes?
I've found his notes
It says that stars can be moved
No destiny cannot be changed
If I can change my own destiny
The I wouldn't need to change destiny of others
Pity, even though I know this reality
But I cannot move my own star
You are moving your own star? During daytime?
It's the same, you can draw starlight during daytime
The light of the star is hiding in the sunlight
As long as spiritual sense stays out of virtuality, Then won't be burnt by the sun
Pity, I realized it a little late
You're risking your life.
Maybe
The unlimited starry sky can accommodate countless lives
countless hopes and wishes
Even if it's the most mysterious, destiny
It can be tracked in the starry space
I want to find the star that belongs to me
In the world, reaching out for the stars?
How can you know it won't work before a try?
When a cultivator enters into the real freedom realm
Maybe he can accomplish that
But that's more mysterious than the fabled deity-hidden stage
Only exists in imagination
How can it be taken seriously?
Maybe
There is really a power in the stars
influencing our continent's luck as a whole.
But it's very hard for an individual to use that energy
If destiny is something that really cannot be changed
Then what's the meaning of our cultivation?
Maybe, Shifu is right
I'm doomed to die before twenty.
Why is he still there?
There must be something wrong
How is your body now? Is your spiritual sense damaged?
My spiritual sense is burnt by the sun
Cannot concentrate, cannot control nascent soul
I only have the energy to talk
Then I'll talk with you.
Luoluo said, Baidi Emperor has told her
Zhou Dufu is witty and alert
He never left behind the real complete notes
I'm really worried that you meditated carelessly
ending up confused by his notes
I know how to distinguish truth and fake
Taking a step back
If something really happened to me
As long as you're around, I'll feel relived
I've thought if I can't succeed in changing my destiny
I will fall in love with you vigorously
Even I die, at least I've loved
In this world, there will be someone to remember me
Shifu, you do love her, so truthfully
So you're even not afraid of death
I won't let you die; I won't let you die
I don't want to die
But I must to face the reality
I cannot move my star
Then I cannot stop the force of stars inside my body
Look at my left arm
Without any chances,
I'll probably die soon.
No. Let's find another way.
I don't want you to be so depressed
In the last days
I want to be with you
You won't die
I'll go beg the Great Empress
No, I'll go beg the Pope
There must be a cure. Trust me
What happened, Princess?
I told you, you should be waiting until Chen Changsheng finished meditation.
Sister Xu just went in
Did something happen?
Your highness!
Luo luo
How is Changsheng?
Is mister okay?
Say something!
Look at her I leave with Princess, you stay here
Still, don't know how Changsheng is
So worried
Chen Changsheng is injured?
Qiushan, Did you bring Li-Shan Qisheng Erebus-insight Elixir?
How about this, I'll help him to concentrate
Yourong, you continue to use your holy light to treat his internal injuries
Thank you for your help
It is my duty
Since we both guard the Lingxu Pavilion
Chen Changsheng must be safe.
Do not share this situation to others
It's my practice method gone wrong
I don't want to disturb other people
Qiushan, on the Great Empress' side...
Don't worry
About this, I won't say anything to anyone
Didn't expect meditation in the Lingxu Pavilion
could be so dangerous
I practiced so hastily.
So sorry.
Don't worry. Take care of your injury.
You'll be okay after a rest.
I believe that Yourong will also go all out to help me if I was injured.
Isn't it?
Definitely
Let's start
Be careful
Changsheng, how are you?
Changsheng's spiritual sense got injured
He needs more recuperation later
Do not strain your brain.
I am fine. Don't worry
Saintess
Should you be guarding Chen Changsheng in Lingxu Pavilion?
You come back so soon Your holiness is knowledgeable
You've always taken good care of Chen Changsheng
This time, he has got a problem when meditating in Lingxu Pavilion
He failed to draw starlight in daytime
I think I should let you know
That boy's spirit is not fixed yet.
Champion of the Imperial Examination is already a narrow victory.
I'm also trying to think about another way, but a step late.
How is he now?
Fortunately, we found out in time
Qiushan and I restrained his injury temporarily
But I wanted to ask you
Is there any way to eradicate his illness?
That is not an illness; it's destiny
Even you have no idea, don't know if the Great Empress.....
Her Majesty is the only person who can probably save him
But the holy halidom she holds onto is for the world
She will not let anyone hold it for a private usage
You mean, Astrolabe Formation?
So you already know the biggest secret of Zhou Empire
Hope one day when you can control the formation
You'll find a way to save Chen Changsheng
He can't wait for that long
There is still the Tianshu Tomb
The astrolabe formation was created by Zhou Dufu
after he apprehended the Tianshu Tombstones
Do you mean....
In Tianshu Tomb, there's a person who has not come out for thirty-nine years
Maybe she can help Chen Changsheng
If something happens to me
As long as you're around, I'll be relived
If I fail to change my destiny, I will fall in love with you vigorously
Even I die, at least I've loved
In this world, there will be someone to remember me
He is dying, I can be good to him without scruple
No, I just want to repay a favour
I can't love him, I can't love him
The Tianshu Tomb was going to be opened ten days after the Imperial Examination
for students to have a time to recuperate the body
But this year is different, the Zhou Garden will be open soon Once we find the key, we have to enter immediately
You want to open the Tianshu Tomb in advance?
Over the years there are students apprehending the Erebus-insight If more people in our human clan achieve the Erebus-insight stage
There will be more people able to enter the Zhou Garden
to find the inheritance of the Zhou Garden
Zhou Garden is limited to people at the Erebus-insight stage
For many students, the Zhou Garden is too surreal.
It's a shortcut
Yet the stones of Tianshu Tomb are the real knowledge
You're right
Although the rules cannot be broken
Now it's a special situation
I allow Tianshu Tomb to be opened earlier this year
So these kids can self-cultivate earlier
Yours Majesty is wise
All your arrangements are just for Chen Changsheng, right?
I really want to know why you put so much efforts into him?
It's not just for Cheng Changsheng.
This year, Guojiao Academy and Lishan Academy
both have talents coming forth in large numbers.
I'm really looking forward to their journey in the Zhou Garden.
Especially Tianhai Yaer.
I won't allow him to go to Zhou Garden.
Really?
We can apprehend the tombstones earlier?
That's great!
How is Chen Changsheng's injury? Is he able to go there?
I'll carry him there if necessary.
Lady Mo, about Tang family's collusion with the Demons,
Her majesty has just ordered to investigate it. Does that mean there is nothing certain yet?
Somebody promised with whole confidence that
the Tang family is innocent.
Of course, my family is innocent.
I'm just afraid that someone would frame us.
What if things are worse than you think?
I know you are impartial.
You definitely won't disclose any information to me.
Thank you for your secretive support in the past days.
If what you said is true...
You need to know.
If the Tangs indeed colluded with the Demons,
It would be a big crime that all their properties will be confiscated.
Once I find out the truth, I will report to her majesty immediately,
and will not tolerate it.
I understand your responsibilities as her majesty's maid.
Apprehending the tombstones in the Tianshu Tomb
is a precious opportunity to advance your cultivation stage.
Make sure you take it seriously.
Also, don't go back home for a while, unless it's necessary.
This is all I can say to you.
I shall leave now.
Why did you get off bed?
Go back and lay down.
Who said you can get up and read?
I told you that you can't think too hard or read.
My injury is in my spiritual sense. I'm not ill. I don't need to lay down.
Dare to draw starlight into your body in bright daylight.
You are the first in the entire empire.
Which book taught you to do something like that?
I don't have time. I can only make a bet with God.
Unfortunately, I lost after all.
You told me that apprehending the tombstones is my opportunity.
It's also yours.
Just now, Mo Yu told me that
Tianshu Tomb will be open in advance. We can get in tomorrow.
You should well rest your spiritual sense, and catch the last opportunity.
Thirty-sixth, your family...
I'm putting everything else aside now.
Anyway, I just want the Erebus-insight Stage in Tianshu Tomb.
What about you?
Of course ways to change my destiny. You are still thinking about that?
You almost lost your life last time.
What? Are you feeling bad for me?
Absolutely not. You wish!
Besides, don't hope that I will die with you.
That's not gonna happen.
Your highness.
You haven't eaten anything for a long time.
I just cooked a dish called burnt grass.
I heard that it can make people breath fire after eating it.
Do you want to try?
I have fire burning in my heart right now!
Are you angry about mister?
I am angry about myself!
Luoluo!
Shhh...
What are you guys doing here?
Changsheng is dying. You guys didn't even go to visit him.
Are you still one of Guojiao Academy?
Mister...
What did you say... What did you say about Shifu?
He was almost hit by Qi Deviation in Lingxu Pavilion.
He was lucky to come back alive.
That why Xu Yourong and he were...
I misunderstood them!
I want to see Shifu!
Your highness, you haven't eaten anything for a long time!
You tell me, what's wrong with her?
Stay out of other people's business.
Shifu!
How do you feel?
Why did you get up? Why are you not laying down?
I'm fine.
I have been laying down for a long time.
My bones are soft from laying there.
Shifu, I'm sorry. I was too naive.
Do you want to eat something?
I'll get it for you.
You haven't eaten anything for quite a while.
Let's eat something together.
Shifu.
I'm sorry.
I almost prevented Xu Yourong from saving you.
That's okay. See, I'm alright.
Then, Shifu, you have to promise me.
Don't tell your worries to Thirty-sixth while keeping me in the dark.
I'm your dearest apprentice.
If you don't tell me, I'll be worried.
Okay, okay. I won't hide them from you anymore.
Let's go.
Shifu.
What now?
Shifu...
I...
Changsheng.
Yourong.
Shifu.
I shall leave now. You two have a nice talk.
It's okay. Please don't hurry to leave.
I only have one thing to say.
There is a senior called Xun Mei in Tianshu Tomb.
She might know the secrets about the tombstones.
Xun Mei?
I got it. Thank you, Yourong!
Have a good rest. Bye.
Actually, sister Xu cares about you very much.
Right.
This is a good opportunity for you. Be prepared.
Try to gain insights and advance in stage in Tianshu Tomb.
Yourong, do you know
where do the two chains under the bridge lead to?
I'm slow-witted.
Can't guess the answer.
A Black Frost Dragon
is locked under the Beixin Bridge.
These two chains are what's keeping the greatest power
of the Dragon Clan captivated.
The Star Formation is operating
on the power of the Black Frost Dragon?
No.
The dragon only provides more energy.
The essence of cultivation is to turn the power of heaven and earth
into the power of humans.
Yourong, one day, you have to make your own decisions.
If in this world someone's star is outside of the Astrolabe
Then what will happen?
Everything is within my control
Any star that isn't in control, I'll eliminate it.
Tang Hai buying medicine is to
cover up for sending a message to the Demon Clan
He told the Demon clan about the reopening of the Tianshu Tomb
He really doesn't know impenitence
Tianshu Tomb is a holy place for our human clan and cannot be stained
Send my words
Order Yourong and Qiushan to enter Tianshu Tomb secretly
to defeat all the Demon agents
Yes
As for the Tang family
After the Tianshu Tomb closes, I will deal with them
Your majesty, please allow me to get in with them
If Black Robe comes, I'm willing to share your majesty's worries
Agreed.
But the Black Robe is ferocious and witty
You should defend yourself against his sinister tricks
Don't put yourself in a fret and lose the upper hand.
Since the Demons are coming
Send words to General Jin
Princess Luoluo must stay in Herb Garden Don't let her get into the Tianshu Tomb
Yes
You may leave.
That's to say,
Her majesty believes the demon agents will disturb apprehension in the Tianshu Tomb?
Yes
People who can get into the Tianshu Tomb to apprehend
are either the best elites in our Zhou Empire
Or the glorious generals
No matter who is injured
For the royal court, it'll be a big loss
Since so, Qiushan and I will keep them safe.
Do you have anything else to say?
I want to tell you something
After the Imperial Examination
Tianhai Ya'Er wanted to kill Chen Changsheng
But Tang Thirty-Sixth blocked the poisoned arrow for him
Then Chen Changsheng cured him
Tianhai Ya'Er has taken action?
Don't know whether it's something secretly allowed by the Empress
Yourong, Don't misunderstand
It's Tianhai Ya'Er's own decision
Even his father Tianhai Chengwu did not know that.
Empress also scolded him
Scolding won't change anything, isn't it?
Whether I have cultivate the great cause or not
Chen Changsheng is worth living on well
Whether it's her majesty or you
I don't need any other people to make decisions for me
Don't worry, I will not intervene with your business.
But I must remind you
that her majesty thinks highly of you
Lingxu Pavilion and the Tianshu Tomb are both tests to you
If Chen Changsheng gets in your way,
Her majesty thinks for the big picture... Mo Yu,
Can you tell me why do we cultivate for the great cause?
Of course it's for our Zhou Empire, for the world
Why do you ask that?
Nothing,
It occurs to me,
Empress can think for the entire world,
but cannot tolerate Chen Changsheng
The Empress is doing this for you
For my sake,
I got it.
[Guard for the Baipao Stela] Sacred Stone appears, opening wisdom
Therefore, there is the Tianshu Tomb.
The center of the world is wherever Tianshu Tomb is
Only the top 43 of the Imperial Examination or
Soldiers who have served in battle can apprehend the tombstone
So you should seize this opportunity
Why her highness is still not here?
Yes, is she delayed by some important matter?
She is princess of the Beast clan
Even if she is late, she still can go inside
This is medicine prepared for you
Take it when you're about to reach a higher stage
Let me tell you, those guards
spend all their life to discover the secret of tombstone
They have sworn a blood oath
They'll never leave Tianshu Tomb for a single step
Giving their entire life for the surreal great cause,
I don't like that kind of life
