[Fighter of the Destiny]
[Episode 20]
Teacher!
We'll all be waiting for you outside.
Be careful!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Subbers of the Destiny @ Viki
I'll take you up.
I want to go in with Teacher, too.
With Xu Yourong by his side, nothing will harm him.
Teacher doesn't need her to protect him.
My teacher is very powerful you know.
Going into Lingxu Pavilion will only make him more powerful.
Although Sister Xu is number one on the Qingyun list,
but my teacher is so much more powerful than her!
I'll escort you this far.
I'll be waiting here for you until you come out.
I will succeed.
You look a little nervous.
I'm just afraid my last chance of changing my fate will come up empty.
The Gods will protect those who deserve it.
You are Zhou Empire's Heros, and the Emperor's left and right hands.
Changsheng is a descendant of Zhou, too. I benefit from each of you.
Seniors, please accept this bow from Changsheng.
In order to find a miracle to change my fate,
Changsheng must disturb you. Please forgive me.
I know you are all watching me.
Perhaps you are curious who this nameless boy is.
Or perhaps you may be angry at my reckless actions.
However, I am very sorry. In order to live,
I have no choice but to find that person's notes. I ask you to help me.
What are you doing?
Why are you always looking so bitter?
What's your problem? No danger in Lingxu Pavilion?
I'm thinking that Lingxu Pavilion isn't that easy to apprehend.
No, no, no. Nothing hard is for your teacher to understand.
I frown because my injury hurts.
Look, the poison is cured but the flesh hasn't grown.
Are you a fool or am I a fool?
Tell me. What is it?
Nothing, really nothing.
Well... Your Highness look.
There is "lying" written all over his face. I just saw him whispering to Mister just now.
Listen, Thirty-Six tell me the truth.
What is it? Looking down on us?
I'm really not! Really I'm not.
I'm worrying about Changsheng.
What's wrong with teacher?
If you don't talk, I'll turn into a bear and eat you.
Anyway you guys aren't any outsiders. Lingxu Pavilion is Changsheng's last chance of changing his destiny.
He's suffering an incurable illness. He probably won't survive this year.
Why didn't you say it sooner?
I just found out, too! Changsheng is a doctor.
His master was a renowned doctor, too. Even he said there was no cure. What am I supposed to do?
I have money, you have power!
But even with the two of us, there's no point!
What about me?
You don't have anything!
That's why his job today is to find Zhou Dufu's notes.
That way he will be able to find the key to changing his fate.
Zhou Dufu's notes...
That's right. Zhou Dufu's notes.
I think I've heard my father talk about it.
- Oh no!- Where are you going?- Your Highness!
I can't let my teacher risk this alone!
It looks like their lines of sight all point in different directions.
Where is he looking at?
Why does he have his eyes closed?
I've walked passed all of their heads already.
They all have their eyes open.
Only his eyes are closed.
Could it be... the notes are right here?
Your highness, Saintess has ordered no one else can enter the pavilion.
It's okay. I'm the Beast Princess. The Saintess will not be angry at me.
Your Highness, you are being too irrational.
Even if the Saintess will not scold you, I must dicipline you on behalf of Emperor Bai.
I have my own teacher to discipline me, it's none of your business.
Chen Changsheng is receiving information in Lingxu Pavilion by the honor of being the Grand Examination Champion.
You going inside irrationally will only do him harm.
I don't care! I am going in to see Teacher!
Your Highness! Even if it is important, please wait until he comes out to discuss it!
It can't wait! Don't force me!
Your Highness! You know, too.
The rules cannot be broken.
Fine!
I wonder if you will be able to overcome Junior Sister.
These strings must have an order.
Lingxu Pavilion... does it have to do with the Heros' birthdays?
No, no, the copper strings are not important.
What's important are the copper nails' positions.
The stars! The strings are what connects the stars!
[The positions are all relative]
Sister Xu, I need to see Teacher!
Do not bother Chen Changsheng.
Do you know what he is doing right now?
I know.
Then what if he doesn't succeed?
That's why I must ensure he can be safe once he comes out.
I just want to help him! There is power in numbers!
Maybe if we all help, he will succeed!
The key to understanding is in the clearness of one's heart and spirit. Having many people may not be the best.
With fewer people distracting him, Changsheng has more of a chance to succeed.
But he is already on the verge of death. I...
Even if 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.
Sister Xu, how about we go 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 destines. One dies, another rises up.
When the stars appear, changing their appearance is changing your fate.
If I want to change my fate,
then I must change the alignment of my fate's stars.
How is that possible?
What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?
Little Black Dragon, Zhou Dufu says if I want to change my fate
then I must change the alignment of my fate's stars.
From then we can change a human's position and role in the world.
It is parallel to the fate star's orbit. If it is impossible to change your own star's orbit,
then it may be worth a try to change someone else's star orbit,
by association to change your own star's orbit.
That's amazing!
Although Zhou Dufu was evil, but he was a genius.
It is the same principle. If I want to change my fate,
then I must begin with changing the fates of the people closest to me.
The closer those people are to you, the more they will influence your fate.
Keep reading what else is there?
Looking at you as the emperor, makes me your chamberlain.
In my eyes I see no others, I am not a person.
This Zhou Dufu, no wonder he was fearless.
It's no surprise even Taizong could not endure him.
Why do you look a little scared?
I've read some things I should not have.
Zhou Dufu once created a star formation to fight against the Demon Clan.
Taizong was delighted at first, but then became scared.
Then that must be the formation trapping me!
Hurry and tell me. Why did it fall into the hands of Taizong?
Fate does not belong to Taizong. But in order to become Emperor,
Taizong used a secret strategy to change the fate of the twenty-four Ministers
of Lingxu Pavilion and successfully changed his own fate.
He defeated Zhou Dufu and secured his position on the throne.
Taizong really is shameless.
After Taizong was able to control the star formation,
he believed he was more powerful than anyone and could easily defeat the Demon Clan.
But Zhou Dufu believed that in order to defeat the Demon Clan,
it is up to the nation's power, a wise emperor, and its people.
It's not up to a star formation to determine loss or win.
At least he's right about something.
But, Taizong used the star formation and sacrificed so many people to change his fate.
Could it be... you have to use this strategy, too?
There are no roads in the human realm, the road is only beneath your feet.
How you walk will determine your path.
If I must sacrifice others to change my fate, then I would rather not.
Is there no other way?
I cannot change my own star's orbit. That's why I must sacrifice others.
What if I can change the orbit of my own star?
Maybe I can change fate.
Other than the star formation, what other forces
will allow me to change my star's orbit?
You must be daydreaming.
Who can change the position of a fate's star? Even that old witch Tianhai cannot.
Daydreaming... Daydreaming...
Maybe I can!
Can what?
During the day the Sun is bright and the stars are weak.
I cannot change the orbit of my own star, but I can use the Sun's energy.
I've lived so long and I've never heard of inducing a stars power during the day.
Changing fate is already changing the impossible
into possible.
The Sun's power is so strong.
Why is my spirit sense being burned under the Sun's power?
So it's like this. The Sun is a fate star, too.
Only it is the fate star of all that lives in this world.
During the day, the fate star, sunlight, and starlight becomes one.
No! My spirt sense is becoming weak!
Chen Changsheng!
Something has happened to Teacher! I have to see Teacher!
Your Highness, please hurry and leave!
Lingxu Pavilion is a sacred Human sanctuary. You cannot go in or else we will not be able to face Saintess.
Emperor Baidi will not overlook this either.
Don't worry, I will go in to see him. Nothing will hurt him.
All right, I won't go it. You go in for me to see.
Changsheng!
Changsheng! Changsheng!
Changsheng!
You said there were nine meridians unable to be connected in your body.
The stars' forces are unable to circulate in your body.
That's why it spills every time you bleed.
But... the Black Dragon has already mended your bone marrow.
You should have enough power to control this.
So why are you like this now?
Changsheng!
Yourong! Thank goodness I have you.
What happened to you? Was it Zhou Dufu's notes?
I found the notes. It said fate can be changed.
There is not a single fate that cannot be changed.
If I can change my own fate,
then I don't need to change other people's.
But although I know this principle, I cannot change my own fate.
Were you trying to re-orbit your fate star in daylight?
It is the same. I can move stars in daylight, too.
The star's light is hidden under the Sun's.
As long as the spirit sense does not enter the virtual world, then it will not be burned by the Sun.
However, I found out too late.
You're being reckless.
Perhaps.
An unlimited universe can accommodate unlimited fates.
Unlimited hope and wishes. Even the most impossible
fate in the universe must be able to track.
I hope to find the star that belongs to me.
Reaching for the star in the Human realm?
How will we know it cannot be done if we do not try?
When a cultivator enters the True-Freedom realm,
perhaps they will be able to do this.
However, this stage is even more unheard of than the Hidden-Deity stage.
It has always existed in one's imagination. How can we believe it to be true?
Perhaps, there really is a power in the stars
that is influencing the entire universe's luck.
But as a Human, it is extremely difficult to be able to use this power.
If fate is an unchangeable existence,
then what is the point of our cultivation?
Perhaps Master was right.
I am destined to die at twenty.
Why aren't they out yet?
There must be trouble!
How is your body now? Is your spiritual senses damaged?
My spiritual sense was burned by the Sun.
I cannot concentrate, cannot control a nascent soul.
I only have the energy to talk.
Then I'll talk with you.
Luo Luo said, Baidi Emperor 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 can tell the difference between truth and lies.
If something really were to happen to me, as long as you are beside me,
then I will feel at peace.
I've thought that if I can't succeed in changing my destiny,
I would fall in love with you vigorously.
Even if I die, at least I've loved.
In this world, there will be someone remembering me.
Teacher, so you love her so deeply.
You're not even afraid of death.
I will not let you die.
I don't want to die.
But I have to face my fate. I can't do anything to change it.
So I have no way to control the force of stars inside my body.
Look at my left arm.
Without any chances,
I'll probably die soon.
No. Let's think of another plan.
No, I won't let you continue to be so depressed.
In my last days,
I want to be with you.
You won't die!
I'll go beg the Great Empress, or the High Priest. They will have a way.
There must be a cure. Trust me.
What happened, Princess?
I told you before,
you should have waited until Chen Changsheng came out of meditation to tell him.
Sister Xu just went in.
Did something happen to them?
Princess!
Luo Luo!
How is Changsheng?
Is Mister okay?
Say something!
- Look at her... - I'll follow Princess back. You wait here.
I still don't know how Changsheng is doing. This is so worrying!
Chen Changsheng is injured?
Senior, did you bring the Li-Shan Qisheng Erebus-insight Elixir?
How about this? I'll help him to concentrate his energy,
Junior Disciple, you continue to use your Holy Light to treat his internal injuries.
Thank you, Senior, for helping him.
It is my duty, since the two of us guard the Lingxu Pavilion.
Chen Changsheng has to be safe.
Do not share this situation to others. My practice methods went awry.
I don't want to disturb other people.
Senior, the Great Empress...
Don't worry. I will not breathe a word to anyone.
I didn't expect that meditation in the Lingxu Pavilion could be so dangerous.
I practiced so hastily. You must find me so silly.
Rest assured. Just take care of your injury and you will be fine.
I believe that Yourong will also go all out to help me if I were injured, too.
Definitely.
Let's start.
Be careful.
Changsheng! How are you?
Changsheng's spiritual sense got injured just now.
He needs ample rest when he gets back. He should not think too much.
I am fine. Don't worry.
Saintess.
Aren't you supposed to be at Lingxu Pavilion watching over Chen Changsheng? Why are you back so soon?
Your Holiness is knowledgeable. You have always doted on Chen Changsheng.
This time, he made an error when meditating in Lingxu Pavilion.
He failed to draw starlight in daytime. I thought you should know of this.
This child spirit is not fixed yet. Becoming champion of the Grand Examination is already a narrow victory.
I'm also trying to think about another way, but alas I am a step late.
How is he now?
Fortunately, we found out in time. Qiushan and I worked together
to restrain the injury temporarily.
But I want to ask,
is there any way to eradicate his illness?
That is not an illness; it's destiny.
Even you have no idea. I wonder if the Great Empress...
Her Majesty is probably the only person who can save him.
But the Holy Astrolabe she holds onto,
is for the good of the world. She will not let anyone use it privately.
You mean, the Astrolabe Formation?
So you already know the biggest secret of Zhou Empire.
I hope that one day, when you can control the formation,
you'll find a way to save Chen Changsheng.
He cannot wait that long!
There is still the Tianshu Tomb.
The Astrolabe Formation was created by Zhou Dufu after he read from the Tianshu tombs.
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 really were to happen to me, as long as you are around,
I will be at peace. If I cannot change my fate,
then I will love you all the more vigorously.
So that even if I die, at least I have experienced love.
In this world, at least someone will still remember me.
He's going to die. I can be good to him without guilt.
No. I just want to repay a favor.
I cannot love him. I cannot.
Originally, the Bible Mausoleum was set to open ten days after the Grand Examination,
so that all students may recuperate
and have time to nurse their bodies back to health.
But this year is different.
The Zhou Garden will open soon. Once the key is found, we must enter.
You want to open the Bible Mausoleum in advance?
Over the years, there have been many Erebus-Insight students.
If the Human Clan could have more people reach the Erebus-Insight stage soon,
then more people will have the chance to enter the Zhou Garden
to find Zhou Dufu's legacy.
Only the Erebus-Insighted may enter the Zhou Garden.
For many students,
the Zhou Garden is too ethereal and is thus a shortcut.
But the Bible Mausoleum's steles teach the true martial arts.
What you say is not without reason.
Although rules should not be broken,
the current situation is special.
I will allow for the Bible Mausoleum to be opened earlier this year,
so that the children may practice as soon as possible.
Your Majesty is wise.
All these plans of yours
are merely for Chen Changsheng, are they not? I really want to know
why do you show such dedication to him?
Not only Chen Changsheng, but Guojiao Academy and Lishan Sword Sect.
This year all have up-and-coming talent,
so I highly anticipate these children's Zhou Garden journey,
especially Tianhai Ya'er.
I won't allow him in the 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 it's necessary.
Lady Mo, since the Empress only ordered an investigation on the Tang family and Demon Clan collusion,
there's no conclusion yet. Right?
Someone beat their chest and promised me that
there was nothing wrong with the Tang family.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with the Tang family!
I'm only worried that someone is playing tricks.
What if the situation is worse than what you thought?
I know you, Princess. I'm sure you won't disclose my information.
I also thank you for your secret protection these few days. If there was to be such a day...
You must know. If anyone in the Tang family secretly contacted the Demon Clan,
they would've committed the most serious crime.
Once it's been proven to be true, then I will immediately report to the Empress without hesitation.
I understand your responsibilities as Her Majesty's maid.
This Bible Mausoleum comprehension
is a rare chance to enhance yourself. Make the most of it.
Also, don't go back to the Tang family if you don't need to for now. I can only help you this much.
I'll go first.
Why are you out of bed? Go lie down.
Who let you get up and study?
I told you that you can't think too hard or read.
It's only my spirit that is harmed. I'm not sick. No need to lie down.
You dare to draw starlight in broad daylight. You are the first in the entire empire.
Which book in the Daoist Scripture taught you to do it this way?
I don't have time. I can only gamble with God.
Unfortunately, I still lost.
Didn't you tell me that the Bible Mausoleum comprehension is my chance?
It's is also your chance! Moyu told me just then that
the Bible Mausoleum comprehension has been brought forward. We can go in tomorrow.
You just nurse your spirit back to health. Seize your last chance!
Thirty-Six, the Tang family...
Right now, I don't want to care about anything.
I just want to reach Erebus-Insight in the Bible Mausoleum.
What about you?
Well, of course, I want to find a way to change my destiny.
You still want to change it?! Last time, you almost changed your life away!
What? Feel sorry?
Only ghosts would feel sorry for you. Go die if you want.
Also, don't depend on me dying with you. No chance!
Your Highness, you haven't eaten anything for a long time.
I just made a dish called Fire Grass. It is said that you can blow fire after eating it.
Do you want to try it?
I have a fire burning in my heart right now!
Are you angry about Mister?
I am angry about myself!
Luo Luo!
What are you two doing here? Changsheng is dying and you guys didn't even visit him.
Are you still a member of Guojiao Academy?
What did you say? What did you say about Teacher?
He almost got hit by the Qi Deviation in Lingxu Pavilion. He was lucky he came back alive.
That's why he and Sister Xu were...
I've misunderstood them!
I have to find Teacher!
Your Highness, you haven't eaten anything in a long time!
You tell me. What's wrong with her?
Stay out of other people's business.
Teacher!
How do you feel? Why did you get up? Why aren't you laying down?
I'm fine. I've been laying down for a long time.
My bones are soft from laying there.
Teacher, I'm sorry. I was too naive. I didn't know everything.
Do you want to eat anything? I'll get it for you.
You haven't eaten anything for quite a while. Let's eat something together.
Teacher!
I'm sorry. I almost prevented Sister Xu from saving you.
That's okay. See, I'm all right.
Then Teacher, you have to promise me.
Don't tell your worries to Thirty-Six while keeping me in the dark.
I'm your dearest apprentice. If you don't tell me, then I'll worry.
Okay, okay. I won't hide them from you anymore. Let's go.
- Teacher.- What now?
Teacher... I...
- I...- Changsheng.
Yourong?
Teacher,
I shall leave now. You two have a nice talk.
It's okay. Your Highness, please don't hurry to leave. I only have one thing to say.
There is a senior called, Xun Mei, at 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 an opportunity for you. Be prepared.
Try to get insights and advance in stage at Tianshu Tombs.
Yourong, do you know?
Where do the two chains
under the bridge lead to?
I'm slow-witted. I can't guess the answer.
The Beixin Bridge,
there is a locked up Black Frosted Dragon.
These two chains,
inherited the most powerful force from the original dragon.
The Astrolabe
is operating on the power of the Black Frost Dragon?
No, the Dragon only provides extra power.
This so-called cultivation
uses the Heaven and Earth's power and converts it into a human's power.
Yourong,
there will be a day when you will have to decide for yourself.
If, in this world, someone's star is not in the Astrolabe,
what shall I do?
Everything is in my control.
For anyone that is not under my control,
will be killed without mercy.
Tang Hai buying medicine is in fact a cover-up for sending a message to the Demon Clan.
He told the Demon Clan about the re-opening of the Tianshu Tomb.
He really does not know how to repent.
The Tianshu Tomb is a holy place for our Human Clan, and cannot be stained.
Issue my decree. Order Yourong and Qiushan to enter the Tianshu Tomb secretly
- to defeat all of the Demon agents.- Yes!
As for the Tang family,
after the Tianshu Tomb has closed, I will deal with them.
Your Majesty, please allow me to go in with them.
If Black Robe comes in, I'm willing to share Your Majesty's worries.
Agreed! But the Black Robe is ferocious and cunning,
you must defend yourself against his sinister tricks.
Don't become impatient and lose the upper hand.
Since the Demons are coming,
send words to General Jin
that Princess Luo Luo must stay in the Herb Garden. Don't let her go into the Tianshu Tomb.
Yes.
You may leave!
That's to say, Her Majesty believes the Demon agents will disturb gathering of information in the Tianshu Tomb!
Right!
People who can get into the Tianshu Tomb to want to achieve enlightenment are either the best elites of the Zhou Empire
or the illustrious generals.
No matter who gets injured,
for the Royal court, it's a big loss.
In that case, Qiushan and I
will protect them thoroughly.
Is there anything else you want to talk about?
I want to tell you something.
After the Grand Examination, Tianhai Ya'er wanted to kill Chen Changsheng.
But Tang Thirty-Six blocked the poisoned arrow for him.
Then Chen Changsheng saved Tang Thirty-Six.
Tianhai Ya'er has taken action?
I don't know if it's something secretly allowed by the Empress.
Yourong, don't misunderstand! It's Tianhai Ya'er's own decision!
Even his father Tian Chengwu does not know about it!
The Empress also scolded him.
Scolding will not change him a bit.
Whether I have to cultivate for the Great Cause or not,
Chen Changsheng deserves to keep on living well.
Whether it's Her Majesty, or you.
I don't need any other person to make decisions for me.
Don't worry! I won't interfere in your business.
But I must remind you.
Her Majesty thinks highly of you.
The Lingxu Pavilion and the Tianshu Tomb are both tests for you.
If Chen Changsheng
gets in the way, Her Majesty looks at the bigger thing..
Moyu,
can you tell me why we cultivate for the Great Cause?
Of course, it's for the Zhou Empire; for the world.
Why do you suddenly ask that?
It's nothing!
It occured to me that the Empress can think of the entire world,
but cannot tolerate Chen Changsheng.
The Empress is doing this for you!
For my sake, I know!
Sacred Stone appears, opening the minds of the people.
Only then, there is the Tianshu Tomb.
The center of the world is wherever the Tianshu Tomb is.
Only the top 43 of the Grand Examination or
soldiers who have served in battle can seek enlightenment in the tombstone.
Therefore, you must seize this opportunity.
Why hasn't Her Highness arrived yet?
That right! Is there some important matter that's keeping her?
She is the Princess of the Beast Clan. Even if she is late, she can still go in.
This is the medicine I prepared for you.Take it when you are about to reach a higher stage.
Let me tell you! Those guards
spend all their lives to discover the secret of the tombstone. They have sworn a blood oath.
They will never leave the Tianshu Tomb by a single step.
Giving their entire life for the surreal Great Cause,
I don't like this kind of life.
