The Taoism Grandmaster
-Episode 7-
My queen.
Since the primal demons began to deal with the pagoda,
all the demons of the Wolf's World
are acting like your Majesty.
They look at this beautiful view everyday.
It is just fascinating,
makes you forget the reality,
and ignore the whole situation.
The more you look at it,
the unwiser you'll be.
Do you think it is bad
to burn the barrier which has sealed
the Wolf's World
for thousands of years?
But it is Wolf King II's decision.
My Queen.
Now the trial of the pagoda
is conducted like a raging fire.
Now that it can't be stopped,
why not look ahead
like me,
and don't look back.
Be prepared for the World War quickly.
We are wondering what we can do for you
as you called us?
I want to know why
the document about me recommending
and guaranteeing Zi Liuli to be the Vanguard Army
is returned by the four presbysters.
You don't want us to
dispatch the Vanguard Army.
But why did you ask
your maid to join it?
Liuli is smart.
Her cultivation is great.
She must be the future of the Wolf's World.
Since everything is over,
I want Liuli to learn more,
so I recommended and guaranteed her.
Oh I see.
But the name list
is decided by Wolf King II.
These 120 people are
all named by Wolf King II.
So,
we are not able to
modify the name list.
You are not afraid of the order.
You are just looking down upon me
these days.
Then we can put Zi Liuli
on the waiting list as the first one.
What do you think of it?
With things as such,
I am okay with that.
It seems that our queen
has different idea.
Now we are holding the military power.
No matter what is in her mind,
we can leave it alone.
Queen is an important figure in the Wolf's World.
We have to keep an eye on her.
To make the long story short，
tonight,
we let the evil fox out.
After presbyter of Flame and I enter the Blood Cell,
if we didn't come out in two hours,
then bomb the Blood Cell.
Do that without fail.
You two little boys,
can't you get into sleep?
I will tell you a story.
Evil fox,
do you want to be free?
Free?
You are so sweet.
I've been trapped here for thousands of years.
I've heard all things vicious.
But Demon of Laugh's words are the sweetest.
If I were young,
I would love you with all my heart.
But I won't play house with you.
Get out!
These swords have been with me for over a thousand year.
I have no feelings anymore.
White Evil,
have you heard of the Spell of Heart Devouring?
I'll explain it for you.
Spell of Heart Devouring is attached on the Core.
If I want,
you will feel like being burnt,
and suffer a lot.
Besides,
if I want,
I can burn the Core.
Then you'll no longer exist.
But don't be nervous.
As long as you are obedient,
and listen to us,
I guarantee you a life.
Damn it!
You want to boss around me?
Fine.
Then today,
we'll see
who is stronger,
you or my Spell of Heart Devouring.
No.
I have to explode it.
Wait,
just a minute.
You really want to control me?
Want to be my master?
Okay.
For thousands of years,
I've been dreaming for
having a master,
who can let me submit to.
And I'll serve him
and be his servant.
I am all yours.
Nine-tails evil fox.
Master,
please call me Bai Qianji.
Bai Qianji.
Fine.
Now listen to me,
on the full-moon night few days later,
you'll lead the Vanguard Army to the mortal world
to fight with the Alliance of Five Great Mountains.
I can go to the mortal world.
That's so good!
My master,
why don't you say that earlier?
Then I would be more at ease.
You are so bad, my master.
I present my respects to you, my masters.
The air is so fresh.
The feeling of being free is so good.
It is so good to be here!
I am Liuli, my Queen.
The four presbyters have let the evil fox out.
This White Evil
can only bring darkness and chaos to the Three Realms.
Now she is back after trapped for thousands of years.
We can't imagine what will happen.
So the task of finding the Taoism Seeker
should not be failed.
I will try my best to complete the task
even if I have to die for that.
I don't worry about that.
I just worry that you are going
to face a world you can't imagine.
You are with me for centuries
and never leave me before.
You still have a lot to learn.
I worry that you can't face it.
I am not afraid.
The four presbyters have decided
the name list of the 120 Vanguards.
It is estimated that
they will break the barrier
to attack the mortal world.
And the Vanguard Army also vowed to the protector
that they will do it at risk.
Although I tried my best,
you are just on the waiting list.
So how can you find the Taoism Seeker?
The only way is
to kill one of the guards
in the Vanguard Army.
Let him no longer exist.
Come with me.
I wore this
Cloak of Invisibility when I was young.
It will make you invisible.
No one can see you.
You can have it tonight.
And this is my last training to you.
The last training?
Xiao Yu,
stop crying.
You are awake.
Everything is okay.
No.
I still remember the feeling
when I stabbed my grandma with the sword.
She is my only family.
Go.
At this moment,
Feifei needs you the most.
Are you okay?
I am fine.
Eat. Thanks.
Come here, Yu.
Master told us
only weak people cry.
Although we Sky School is a small school,
we are all strong-minded.
Our Master trained us.
He taught us everything.
But I killed my Master in my dream.
Why the Master of Berserk makes me...
Eat something.
Ying.
Ju Xiong.
Your worry
and unhappiness.
Say it out.
It is not good.
To hide it.
You know
I have no parents since I was young.
I grew up with my brother.
But he died from disease.
I thought that I could meet him in my dream.
But...
It is all gone.
Be tough.
Ju Xiong,
I can't bear it anymore.
I will
be your brother
from now on.
Ju Xiong.
My dear,
Senior Disciple,
Senior Disciple.
You killed me.
Is that real?
So exciting!
Being the one who is most wanted in other's dream.
Isn't it cheerful?
How about you?
Who did you kill?
Sorry.
I killed you.
Is it hurt?
My heart is bleeding.
Senior Disciple,
can I hug you?
I am happy
being killed in other's dream.
This feeling
is weird.
Hey!
Don't touch me!
It's still hurt.
What's wrong?
Who did you kill in your dream?
I...
What about you?
Can you tell me
if I tell you?
You first.
I killed my father.
It‘s hurt, isn't it?
It‘s hurt before I do it.
Sometimes it‘s more
hurting than having no choice.
Then after decision?
Then after you decide it,
nothing.
There is no feeling.
How to say...
Of course it hurts.
But my father hasn't asked me
to do anything.
The only wish
is to let me be the Taoism Seeker.
If I have to kill him
to realize it,
I think,
he won't blame me for that.
You are so unfilial.
You are cheating yourself.
Maybe.
Only with your limited effort?
To be the Taoism Seeker？
Aren't you the pot calling the kettle black?
I,
only with this limited effort,
don't want to be
the Taoism Seeker.
But this is my father's only wish.
Can't I do it for him?
That's right.
It's your turn?
What?
Who did you dream of?
I...
I dreamed of Feifei.
Is that weird?
Yes.
How many times do you see her?
You want to see her so bad.
It's too
fast.
No no no,
I wanted to dream my master.
However,
Feifei is my savior.
I am all hers.
So I wrote her name down.
Don't tell anyone.
Why do you tell me?
I hate
to keep others' secrets the most.
You asked me.
You could keep it.
You are so unreasonable.
You are unreasoable.
Leave me alone.
I am angry.
You can go.
Why?
I came here earlier.
You should go.
We are no longer a team.
What?
I came here first.
Be reasonable.
You pushed me.
You dare to push me.
You!
Watch your behavior.
You pushed me.
Thanks, Senior Disciple.
I am much better.
Kunlun, Feifei.
Sunle,
what's the matter?
Master wants to see you at Namo Buddha Cliff.
I am here, master.
How's it going?
Four trials have been finished.
Do you have confidence?
Each trail is hard to go through.
But I'll do my best.
Good.
I want you to know one thing
about Zhang Ling.
Ling Ting,
tell him.
Chief asked me to
check the participants today.
Now it is verified that
Zhang Ling is the son of Zhang Dashun.
Zhang Dashun?
The younger apprentice
who was expelled
by the Alliance.
Yes.
Ling Ting,
continue.
Twenty years ago,
Zhang Dashun took his wife Leng Cui
and newborn Zhang Ling
rove all over the world after being expelled.
No one knows their whereabouts.
Not long after,
Zhang Dashun took Zhang Ling
back to hometown and settled down.
But Leng Cui was gone.
Since then,
Zhang Ling grew up in his hometown.
According to the investigation,
Zhang Ling is a genius.
He was erudite since a young age.
He read through Tao Te Ching at the age of 7,
and was admitted to college at the age of 18.
But his father went to the desert alone
when Zhang Ling was 8,
and has never been heard of since then.
That's as much as I know.
Do you know why Zhang Dashun
was expelled at that time?
No.
Master never said that.
So did other chiefs.
He was the shame of the Alliance.
He colluded with the evil
leftovers of the Wolf's World.
Feifei's mother was
killed by Zhang Dashun
after she knew it.
Master didn't kill him
because of his merciful heart
and the lack of evidence,
but only expelled him.
So,
Zhang Ling must have some plots
in the battle of Five Great Mountains.
Although he is smart,
his cultivation is limited.
Even if he has plots,
he can't make it.
Don't treat it lightly.
Because of Zhang Dashun,
I almost can't take over the Alliance.
If his son becomes the Seeker,
it will be a disaster of the Immortal World.
But,
as our ancestor said in his last words,
we can't stop him attending the battle.
So,
You have to be careful about him.
You should prevent him
from being the Seeker.
Understood?
Yes.
Birds bring in urgent news.
Something is wrong.
The Wolf's World is doing something bad.
They're going to send the Vanguard Army earlier
to attack the Alliance.
Never thought that their move
is so fast.
But according to Ling Ting's message,
the Wolf's World is afflicted by drought.
It is severe.
They just decided
to trial the Infinite Pagoda.
They are very busy.
Why do they decide to attack in advance?
Maybe because of the severe drought.
It is their last stand.
Cief,
Ling Ting once said
General Shadow of the Wolf's World
is going to steal the information from us.
You have sent people to check this out.
Anything useful?
Not yet.
You mean
General Shadow has sneaked here
to expose our information?
General Shadow's technique of hidden
is the best among the Three Realms.
He is fast.
Thousands of years before,
it was because of him,
the Alliance was beaten all up.
As the saying goes "just in case".
In this case,
the one who is faster
is the winner.
We should choose 49 competitors quickly,
start the Taoism Trial Competition,
and put the whole world in it.
In this competition,
we can have a fight with the Vanguard Army .
But in this way,
the level of difficulty
will be increased.
The 49 competitors
would be dead at any time.
Although nothing is too deceitful in war,
it makes the best of both worlds.
I agree.
Start the the Taoism Trial Competition in advance.
I am up for it.
This is the only way now.
It seems that this war will be crueler
than the Arche War.
I agree too.
Okay.
Assent and consent.
Master,
what is the Taoism Trial Competition?
As far as I know,
the Taoism Trial Competition
is to let people overcome
the trails
for reaching the level of practice.
In which way, the one who success
will become the Taoism Seeker.
But during the process,
Five Saint Armors
which have been lost for thousands of years
will reveal by
opportunity.
Once the armors are in one,
the Taoism Seeker will be of enough power
to start the Second War.
That's so marvelous!
Then we shall not wait for 3 days,
let's start the attack tomorrow.
No.
Our Vanguards are not prepared yet.
Three days later,
the full-moon night
is the best timing.
But my four masters,
Donghuang Taiyi said just now
priority is the key
to success.
Before the start of Taoism Trial Competition,
we should attack them surprisingly.
She is right to some extent.
Master,
do you agree with me?
Then I can go to
the mortal world earlier.
My master,
I will go to pack now.
It was my bad forgetting to ask you
my four masters.
Can I ask for a leave?
My masters.
Can I?
Go.
Thanks.
I am worrying about this evil fox.
It's too late to worry about her.
Let's wait and see.
I received the message yesterday
that the Vanguard Army of the Wolf's World
is very likely
to attack the mortal world in advance.
So,
in order to choose 49 competitors
to start the Taoism Trial Competition,
Five chiefs agreed to
decrease the ten trials
into five.
Five?
That is to say,
the fifth trial
will decide who will be in.
The fifth trial will
be presided by me, Master of Sword,
and Lady Undead.
Are you ready?
Yes, we are.
This will be a competition of your capacity.
We will reset the Arche War
in the Dreamland
according to the records of the Alliance
and Ling Ting's information.
The Arche War.
Thousands of years ago,
Wolf King I of the Wolf's World
declared the war against the Three Realms
by killing people of City of No Tears.
The immortal world call it The Arche War.
What you should do
is to fight for the City of No Tears.
Twelve hours later,
the east door of the City of No Tears will be open.
The man who leave the east door
passes the trial.
But,
in the twelve hours,
the trial will be stopped
when only 49 people left.
These 49 people
can be seen as mission completed,
and are the competitors of the Competition.
We all know
you can get hurt in the Dreamland.
But you can't die,
or you will never be alive.
So,
in order to save your lives,
you will be given a Reset Ring.
When you are in danger,
you can press the charm on it,
and then you will be
out of the Dreamland.
Meanwhile you are obsoleted.
So in the fifth trial,
it's up to your mind
to win or lose.
Nothing tricky
or fluky.
Everything
depends on your effort
and capacity.
Any questions?
Yun Qi, what's your question?
Reset the Arche War means
we are facing the evils of the Wolf's World
and Wolf King I?
Of course.
But Wolf King I
is an illusion
made from the message we have.
But,
it will be much more stronger
than Qiongqi you met in the first trial.
Illusion?
Stronger than Qiongqi.
Stronger than Qiongqi
plus the evils,
isn't it unfair?
Remember,
you are not asked to beat down Wolf King I,
but to be alive in the twelve hours
to wait till the east door open.
Han Shang.
If more than 49 people pass the door
and escape from the Dreamland, what will happen?
Then,
it will depend on the Five Color Stone,
which you love the most.
The loser will not
be the competitor
of the Taoism Trial Competition.
You still have two hours to pack up
and think about the measures.
Gather in front of the Dreamland at around 9 to 11.
Yes.
I rather die in the Arche War,
instead of the Five Color Stone draw.
Bufan was right.
That little stone is scary.
Doing tricks
is your strongest weapon.
I am afraid you can't do that this time.
Bro,
don't you forget he can do
the technique of Invincible Sword?
Right.
He can put out his sword 6 times in total.
He can have a cup of wine
or play chess with Wolf King I.
Tie Lang,
don't forget
from now on, there are two hours
left before the trial.
You can put out your sword
and cut off the tongues
of these three dogs.
That's what I am thinking about.
Want a fight?
Come on.
I am not afraid of you.
Me neither. Do it.
Stop!
Boys,
save your power for the trial.
If you do that again,
don't blame me for being rude.
Only you? Donghuang Feifei?
Plus we three.
and we three.
Gong,
my math is bad.
With 56 competitors,
how much does it minus to 49?
Seven.
Good.
Then we'll beat you seven people off.
The fifth trial does not need to start.
Let's see who don't want to start.
Come on, fight with me.
Wait, wait.
Well,
the pressure of this battle is too big.
We are all prepared for it.
Don't break the peace.
The fifth trial must be hard.
So packing up your weapons
is the most important thing.
Qianqiu.
The Untrammeled School advocates peace for money.
Don't get into our fight, please.
Okay.
If you step off,
I will promise a present
to all of you. Is that okay?
Tian Xin.
Yes.
As known to all,
the Untrammeled School is famous
for thousands of years among the Immortals.
We sell magic weapons and arms of good qualities.
No matter weapons or
panacea,
the prices are fair and good.
Plus premium qualities.
This is
a VIP token.
This is given to you by Qianqiu.
Show it to us after shopping,
you will have a 20% discount.
Of course,
magic weapons and arms on sale are excluded.
20% discount?
The Untrammeled School never have any discount.
So,
it is a good opportunity.
Okay,
we still have some time.
You can go to
the Untrammeled School before the
fifth trial
to get some magic weapons.
Where is the School?
Is it still available now?
The Untrammeled School is named untrammeled.
It is untrammeled.
It is free
and everywhere.
Welcome.
This way, please.
The reason why Untrammeled School is named untrammeled
is that we have the ancient treasure,
the Untrammeled School.
All the other shop in towns are subbranches,
but this is the general chain store.
Every goods is selected by me.
I can grantee the variety.
Our goods are all real.
Ten thousand-time compensation for a fake one.
Everybody,
please.
Let's get inside.
Since Qianqiu invites us so warmly,
I can't say no.
Let's go.
Let's have a look.
Anything you need?
No.
We don't buy anything.
Can we just have a look?
You're welcome.
Please.
Let's go.
Go.
It's so big.
Welcome Zhang Ling and Tie Lang.
Please.
It is so big.
It is just like the Dreamland.
The only different is
the beautiful scene there is not real.
But the beauty here
is real.
We do not cheat anyone.
Please,
make yourself at home.
Xiao San,
take Zhang and Tie to have a look.
I am busy,
so I can't be with you.
Okay.
Zhang, Tie.
I am Xiao San,
the clerk of the School.
What do you need?
Just tell me.
Xiao San,
are you Qianqiu's...
No.
I am just a clerk.
We are all named by numbers.
I was the third.
So everyone calls me Xiao San.
Okay, let me show you around.
Okay.
There are 12 rooms here.
Each room presents
different kinds of weapons, medicines,
esoterica and amours.
What do you need?
Ju Xiong,
Come and have a look.
There are so many
different kinds of Thunder Beads.
This Fire Thunder Bead
is one liang for eight after discount,
plus two beads as giveaways.
That's one liang for ten beads.
That's so cheap!
Yes.
Let's have a look.
Senior,
is this waterproof immortal clothes beautiful?
It is less than ten liang,
not with the discount.
Waterproof immortal clothes is
water-resistant in water.
It seems we won't use it in the trial later.
Then others.
We have clothes with different functions.
Fire-resistant ones,
or invisible cloak.
And many kinds of amours.
Let's go and have a look.
Go, go.
Feifei
must looks good in this.
Maybe.
No cultivator can
refuse the treasures in Room 7.
It's not a general Imperial Artifact.
Isn't it trialed by
cultivators?
Why can it be sold?
These are all Imperial Artifacts
used by cultivators.
Each has its own history.
And they are priceless after the long time
with their owners.
After the ancestors passes away
or dies,
we buy it from their descendants.
Just like this one,
it was made of thousand-year iron.
It was owned by Immortal Tongxuan.
It has 99-year cultivation of magical arts.
It's priceless.
I want one.
How much is it?
It's not so expensive.
33333 liang, a concessional rate.
A concessional rate
for 33333 liang?
How expensive would it be without a discount?
Then it would be priceless.
Too expensive.
Right.
I would rather cultivate one by myself.
It's up to you at the Untrammeled School.
Zhang, Tie.
You can bid a price.
Xiao San will find
an artifact which suits you.
Really?
This is all I have.
Tell me what I can buy?
This is all what I have.
Is it enough for the Artifact?
If you want the Imperial Artifact,
it is not enough.
But the fifth trial is very hard.
according to your cultivation,
you need some magic treasure to protect you.
Yes.
But we don't have enough money.
Can we pay by installments?
The goods are delivered and the bill is cleared.
It is the teachings of the deceased.
I dare not to disobey.
Qianqiu,
maybe a magic treasure suits them.
Armors
will protect you for 12 hours.
Armors are good too.
Right,
it's better than nothing.
I like it.
But the cheapest armor
of the Untrammeled School values 15 liang.
15 liang?
Qianqiu,
the armor in the room 12
has never been used.
How can I forget that?
Xiao San,
take Zhang and Tie
to choose armors in room 12.
Wait.
Is it enough?
Don't worry,
Without you,
Tian Xin and I
might have been killed by Qiongqi.
So you will enjoy an ultra-low price.
That's enough.
Thanks, Qianqiu.
Please follow me.
Leave it. Go.
