The Taoism Grandmaster
Episode 40
Queen, you looks nervous. What did you get from the Change of Destiny?
I bet it's about Zi Liuli, your maid.
Tell me, what happened to her?
I don't know who's behind it, but how dare she betray us!
She killed the Vanguard Army!
She's suffering from Desire Flower Seed from General Flower.
Desire Flower Seed?
Exactly.
She won't make it much longer.
She won't end up well if she's turned into monster.
That's the most merciful punishment to a traitor.
Liuli...
We'll leave now.
Zhang Ling.
Where are you?
Zhang Ling!
I've brought you some food.
You stayed up all night, didn't you?
I can't think of any way to save Liuli.
I can't think of anything.
You need some rest and clear your mind.
No, how could I?
I have to find a way to save Liuli before she was poisoned to death.
Calm down.
Otherwise, you won't find any solution.
How would I calm down?
She's sacrificed so much for me!
I'm her whole world.
She betrayed her family, even the Wolf's World. She'd even die for me!
Do you know how I feel?
Don't you know it?
You know how to save her, don't you?
You know how to save her, right?
Tell me!
Tell me how to save her!
Why aren't you talking?
Do you want her dead?
Tell me now!
Why are you like this now?
You used to face obstacles calmly.
You were the one who teach us how to deal with them.
Though I might not have said it, I do believe in you!
I believe that there will be a miracle as long as you're here!
Look at you now.
You're totally fretted!
How could you think of anything like this?
How could you save Liuli in this way?
Please, do as I said. Have some rest at the Untrammeled School.
You might think of a way to save her after you're ready.
Am I capable of doing that?
I believe in you.
Thank you, Feifei.
He is fretted now.
You must be very important to him.
We've found the fifth armor!
This is Original Heart Armor, the most important piece.
Where is it?
What is this place?
It's called Regretless Woods.
Could it be held by Empress Ling Yu?
Exactly.
The last trial for the Taoism Trial Competition is to arrive Regretless Woods two days later.
You need to get the fifth armor from Empress Ling Yu.
Empress Ling Yu?
No wonder she said that we would meet again in Loulan.
Xiao Wanshi will build a path towards there for you.
The one who give the last piece of armor to God of Mirror will receive the last test from the armor.
The one who passed it will be the Taoism Seeker.
The Taoism Seeker must lead us in the Second War.
The Taoism Seeker shall also be titled new chief of the Alliance.
That's to say, you're fighting for yourself in the last test.
There won't be any team.
Nor would there be any teammate.
Competitors are your rivals now.
Ling Ting will share with you what she knows about Regreatless Woods.
The Woods is the holy place of the Evil World.
It's a boundless forest yet hardly anyone set foot on.
18 years ago, Empress Ling Yu, the Empress of the Evil, suffered from heart breaking.
After that, she sealed herself in Eternal Palace.
She also sent the most horrifying demon, Demon of Sky, to guard the woods.
It's there to keep anyone from the woods.
Man and demon will be lured by it.
Anyone who got lured by will be trapped in the Woods forever.
That's to say, you have to conquer Demon of Sky before reaching the final armor.
Do you have any question?
I have one.
I have a question for you all.
You've overcome so much obstacles since the start of competition.
This one is the last test. It's the most dangerous one as well.
Please ask yourself, do you still want to be the Taoism Seeker?
I'm begging you to quit, if you don't want it anymore.
She's right.
Those who aren't determined should quit now.
Save your lives and get ready for the fight in the Second War.
That's the most meaningful words he had said.
We're not falling back because of fear.
We're saving our strength for a greater purpose!
I'll not deny their words.
According to the rules, you've got the right to quit.
God of Mirror is no longer capable of taking your cultivation of magical arts.
The next journey is yours to decide.
Please think twice.
Come with me!
Guys, I have a declaration.
Tian Xin and I will get married soon.
Congrats, Qianqiu.
You used to be his bodyguard.
You will be the one to be protected from now on.
Congratulations!
Thank you. I just know it now.
Right, because I just made up my mind.
I'll quit the Taoism Trial Competition.
The Taoism Seeker should have the whole world in view. I'm far beyond you comparing to you.
I was in the competition to have my sister witness the armor.
But Tian Xin got hurt later on.
That's what makes me concerned.
It's my privilege to make it to the last test.
But if I have to choose between the Taoism Seeker and Tian Xin, my choice is you.
I will join you again in the Second War.
Will you marry me, Tian Xin?
Yes, I do.
I'll quit, too.
Though I want to be the Taoism Seeker so much, I'd rather make my disciples the Taoism Seeker.
As for now, the only wish of mine is to have Ju Xiong awake, and cure Bufan's eyes.
So that the members of Sword School could live like a family again.
I won't regret to die with my disciples in the Second War if my wish could come true.
Ju Xiong will wake up, don't worry.
My eyes have been hurt badly. I've got no choice but to quit.
We've come through so much since the battle of Five Great Mountains.
We might have doubted or envied each other.
But we also drank and played together.
We've witnessed happiness and sorrow.
We've fought together and conquered difficulties.
We competitors are not only rivals, but friends and alleys.
I don't want to fight against my alleys in the last test.
I'd make the same decision even I'm not blind.
We want to quit too.
We've done many things wrong to become the Taoism Seeker.
Now Yu is gone.
All we want now is to be simple and focused cultivators.
If we could survive in the Second War, we will serve our Master.
That's our only wish now.
We want to apologize to you on Yu's behalf.
Let bygones be bygones.
There's no need to stuck in the past.
Thank you.
I want to quit as well.
I'm not skillful in immortal technique as you are, nor am I any smarter than you.
I didn't deserve the chance anyway.
Besides, I want to spend some time with the one I loved deeply.
Kongyun, am I the one you love?
Whom else could it be?
I knew it!
Thank you, Kongyun.
Anyone else?
I won't quit.
Me neither.
I won't leave Kunlun.
I promised my father to be the Taoism Seeker, so I won't quit.
I can't let down my Master's expectation, so I'll stay.
Being the Taoism Seeker is my dream since a young age.
We've made it till today. I won't quit now.
Alright, now we've made up our mind.
Let's report to Chiefs.
What's your decision, Wang Wei?
Me? With the Taoism Seeker comes the title of Chief.
You won't obey my order if I succeed for sure.
That's not what I'm after.
All I want is to wipe out the Wolf.
Alright, it's late.
I'm tired. Let's get to rest.
Time to leave.
Let's report to Master.
It's late, we'd better go to her tomorrow.
I want to drink in Wine's World.
I need to ask the boss for a favor.
What favor?
It's about Liuli.
Let's go.
Master, we've decided to quit.
Master, we want to quit.
You're going to quit too?
That's not so hard to accept.
I'm tired of it, so I quit.
Old man, your right hand is disabled. I bet you can't use sword any longer.
But I do appreciate your technique.
How about teaching me?
I only teach it to my disciple.
I'll be your disciple then.
Acknowledgement?
Your disciple Wang Wei, at your service.
Brat.
(Wine's World)
- Boss. - Have a seat if you want to drink.
We want to ask you a favor.
What's that?
Do you remember the girl named Liuli?
That fox?
You knew that she's fox!
So what? My customers only need to pay the drink.
What about her?
She's poisoned by General Flower.
We've frozen her to keep her alive.
But we're about to set off to Regretless Woods for another test.
So you want me to take care of her?
Exactly.
I can't think of anyone else better than you.
Please, I'm begging you.
We will be grateful for you if we could make it.
Save the words till you get back.
- Madame. - Fine.
I'll check her if I got time.
Thank you so much!
Get a drink.
Sure.
Enjoy your wine.
I have a question for you.
By the time we get to Regretless Woods, we will be rivals.
What if there are only two of us left to get the armor?
What should we do?
There are two options.
The first one is, one of us give up.
So the other one would be the Taoism Seeker.
I've thought about that.
But all the effort we made is to prove ourselves.
We're here for the Taoism Seeker.
One will be humiliated no matter who gives up for the other.
We will regret this, won't we?
Then there's only one way left.
We shall fight at all strength.
Fight for the last armor.
We won't owe anyone.
Agreed.
What about you?
I agree with him.
Teammate for once,
good friends forever.
Cheers!
Your friendship is so touching.
I'm deeply moved by your relationship. You're about to be rivals.
Don't you think so, Kunlun?
Exactly.
They've made it so far due to their relationship.
That's their best weapon.
Our relationship is good as well.
Yun Qi, what if you're the one left to compete with Kunlun?
What would you do?
I don't know.
We'll see.
Really?
But I've made up my mind.
I will give the armor to Kunlun.
Because it's my dream to make him the Taoism Seeker.
Do you believe in me, Senior Disciple?
I do, Xiaoyu.
Thank you.
You're here for drink as well?
Let's have a toast.
Let's sit right there, Kunlun.
Here. Let's drink.
Enjoy the drink before the final test!
This one is for you.
Wish you be the Taoism Seeker.
(Wine's World)
Let's get in.
Fine.
Let's work together for our future home.
Cheers!
- Drink! - Cheers.
It's so good to be with you.
No matter what I choose in the end, we shall never be apart.
We shall never be apart!
Never be apart!
There isn't love or hate.
I can't hide away from you even in dream.
Don't you remember our privity?
(The unspoken love, a broken heart.)
Are you here for your disciples?
They all get drunk.
I'm here for you.
Me? What do you want from me?
Nothing.
I just want to drink with you.
Sure.
You look pale.
Am I?
I just get ugly.
You're still annoyingly gorgeous.
I'm sorry, Ouyang Qing.
I've forgot that name for so long.
It's all gone.
We don't owe each other at all.
Thank you.
Good wine.
Time to get back.
Are you alright, Master of Berserk?
Farewell.
Come on, Kunlun.
Show me your effort these days.
Yes, Master.
Why did you slip back?
Are you injured from the inner part?
Maybe I was too rush when practicing Secret of Pure Vitality.
Too rush?
How could you make such stupid mistake after years of practice?
Kunlun, you're the Senior Disciple in the Alliance.
How could you make such mistake at this time!
I'm sorry.
Maybe I'm pushing you too hard.
No, it's not like that.
It's me. It's all my fault.
I will try my best in the last fight in Regretless Woods.
I know you will.
Get yourself ready.
Have some rest.
I won't let you down, Master!
You've been going well.
The last fight. Just leave it to God.
I won't let you down even if I sacrifice myself.
I won't let you down!
I know that you won't quit.
Are you ready to fight against each other?
Yes. We will fight with all our strength.
Good.
It's my turn to finish my duty.
I will teach you the last technique I've got.
But you're not fully recovered.
It's alright. I've been waiting for it.
I will send you to Mind Center now.
I will teach you the most powerful technique of my school, Myriads Swordsmanship.
Mind Center, what is that place?
You shall find out when you get there.
Master, your smile looks terrifying.
You should be.
That's no safe place.
Close your eyes.
Open your eyes now.
You must let go of your desire in Mind Center.
Only then could you travel freely here.
How should we do that?
Forget what you've learned and clear your mind.
Open up your heart.
Let your mind combine with Myriads.
Only then could you travel freely in here.
Where are you, Master?
To your right front.
I'll wait for you here.
Let's go.
There's no path.
How could we get there?
Now that we could travel freely, we could fly to there.
Fly?
Come on, fly with me.
Come on!
Come with me.
Master.
Mind Center looks interesting.
Why is it dangerous?
Interesting does not equal safe.
You almost fall into Whirlpool of Doom.
This is Whirlpool of Doom.
It's the entrance to path of the Demon.
No one could be saved once you fall into it.
One may let go of your mind here.
But that's also what makes it horrifying.
Because our desire could be boundless.
Demon will get in the place once you lose control.
You will be taken to the Whirlpool of Doom.
It also makes Mind Center the perfect place to practice Myriads Swordsmanship.
Remember, Myriads Swordsmanship is a mental cultivation method that cannot be spoken.
Get rid of your desire first.
Then you could find your own path towards Taoism.
Only by that time, could you get to know Taoism freely.
Really?
Could we reach the state of Tao？
That's the highest state of immortal technique.
I've practiced Myriads Swordsmanship for years.
But I can only get the start level of that state.
Your level will be yours to realize.
Alright, I'll guide you to the core of Mind Center.
You'll get training for your desire.
Remember, you have to control your desire under my guidance.
So that you could finish the basic training for Myriads Swordsmanship.
Do bear in mind.
You will be trapped in the path of the Demon once you failed and be taken to Whirlpool of Doom.
Do you understand?
- Yes! - Yes, Master.
Be seated.
Lower your head and close your eyes.
Get rid of your desire.
We shall start now.
Where am I?
Taoism Heavenly Palace.
Why am I back to the Alliance?
The training starts now.
Remember, the enemy could come out any time.
Demon of Water!
General Shadow!
Could it be that?
Master, that's the beast Qiongqi. It's unbeatable!
It's so hard!
Don't forget that you're in Mind Center.
You may act as you like in here.
But do not be controlled by your desire.
How could we be free from desires?
You will suffer when you can't pursuit it, or when you disobey the law.
You're slave to your desire as long as you're after something.
Then you're be trapped by your desire. You're no longer in Taoism any more.
But when you get rid of your desire,
Then, you'll be like water in the river, wind near ground, and a tree in the forest.
You could only live with Myriads and travel freely when you follow Taoism.
By that time, constant dripping wears away a stone.
Blowing wind wears away the mountain.
Single tree could form a forest.
How could we get rid of desire?
Only be getting rid of your desire.
Let go of your obsession.
Make everything possible.
Do you want to be stronger?
Come and conquer me.
Sure.
I almost got killed by your if it's not Zhang Ling.
I will kill your personally this time!
Do you want to find Taoism, conquer me first.
Do you want to be stronger?
I will get stronger to protect my friends.
Conquer me first.
I will!
Taoism can be known, but it may not be the well-known Taoism.
Name that can be named is not universal and eternal Name.
They are your enemy because you think so.
But have you ever thought, does water have enemy? What about wind and tree?
Does the real powerful man have any enemy?
But he wants me dead.
How come he's not an enemy?
You want him dead as well, don't you?
You're his enemy as well.
Tearing the Sky.
You won't be my enemy any longer once I kill you.
