[Slay the demons. Duels among geniuses] [Directed by Zhang Yili] [Previously] I swear I will… [The Tomb of Mother Bai Nianyun] slay all the demons! At the age of six, I witnessed the massacre
of my village by demons. My mother perished as a result. Thus, I followed my father
to Dongning Prefecture, and returned to the Meng family. Only in this way can you receive the best training, and you will have the possibility
to enter Yuanchu Mountain. Demon Slaying Contest
is held every three years, which is decided by Yuanchu Mountain. The winner is Meng Chuan. The Montemar Monster
has descended upon the world. After the fight in Dongning Prefecture, I can’t use the vital qi
and Power of Thunder. Because my body is on the brink of collapse. While I was unconscious, Yuanchu Mountain sent someone over. Yuanchu Mountain already knew [Road of becoming A Saint]
your damaged foundation. If you have really become a failure, [Road of Body Refinement]
your qualification for the test will be invalid. Refining my body with fierce qi, can I do that too? Refinement Saint. [Sorrow, anger, joy, desire, fear]
It’s indeed a way to improve your body. Having the future King of Saint
be my pawn is such an honor. I’ll become a Saint. [Adapted from Wo Chi Xi Hong Shi’s
novel, the Demon Hunter] Maintaining purity and authenticity so as to resonate with divine voices. The Three-corpses feast on life and the Nine-worms breed filth. The Ceremony of Heavens brings the ascension
of one’s blood and flesh, while impure souls are unworthy of divine presence. [Yuanchu] This body refinement is way too eerie! I’ve been having nightmares since the Fourth Stage. You break through to the Fourth Stage
in just three months, [Third Stage. Fourth Stage]
It corresponds to the Bodiless Realm. [Fifth Stage] Well done. [Sixth Stage] Is that so? But Yan Jin’s letter says, [Anasrava Realm]
everyone on Yuanchu Mountain is in the Anasrava Realm. According to you, I must reach
the Sixth Stage of body refinement to stand a chance against them, right? What? Are you scared? Scared? I’m just worried
they won’t put up a good fight. Sir, how about I take over? You should take a break. No need. I’ve grown accustomed to it. If you doze off and the carriage flip over, We’ll end up in the Underworld before even reaching Yuanchu Mountain. I’ve traveled this road
for half my life, and the carriage never flipped. Didn’t expect you to be such an expert. Looks like I don’t have to
worry about dying on halfway. Don’t jinx it. See? It’s coming true. Your opponents are here. My opponents? The trial has already begun? It seems you don’t know much about the rules of Yuanchu City. Rules? What rules? As soon as you enter
the boundaries of Yuanchu City, contestants can duel anytime, anywhere, to determine the stronger. Interesting. Why don’t you keep going? It’s nothing. I’ve escorted seven or eight Saints already. Invisible Arrows from Xiyu Tower. Sir. How’s your injury? Meng, stay alert. These are assassins from Xiyu Tower. Don’t worry, sir. I might flip the carriage at the most. Sir, take a rest for now. They’re all in the Bodiless Realm. The real mastermind isn’t among them. Then I’ll use this as a warm-up. This guy can move with his sword. I bet even if I asked, you wouldn’t get your master exposed. Transform the power
of primordial spirit into flowing water with the Figure Mobilizing Technique. Then, use the Twining Strings technique to stabilize the water’s shape. Finally, draw in the fierce qi. First Move of Primordial Will Slash. Billow. [Billow] I’m fine. Just go. Qingke cakes. They might be a specialty
of Yuanchu City. Why don’t you say
it’s a clue to the mastermind? I thought you might want to try one. Quit the nonsense. Stop, you naughty horse. That’s their Qingke wheat. You can’t eat it. Need any help? No. You little horse. It’s not my fault. It came to me. Come back. What are you eating now? Spit it out. Spit it out. Let it go. Let it go. Let it go. – What’s that noise?
– Yeah. I told you not to be greedy. Now look what happened. Is this enough to compensate? This is all I have right now. If it’s not enough, come home with me to get more. Forget it. It’s just half a cake. Are you here
for the Yuanchu Mountain trial? I can show you the way. What’s your name? I’m Ye. Ye as in fields.
[*Ye means fields] I’m Meng Chuan. You’re Meng Chuan? Why? Do you know me? They’re out to kill you. Who? Those geniuses. They’ve opened a betting pool, [Meng Chuan. Life. Death.]
betting you won’t make it through the gates of Yuanchu City alive. Still breathing. Still alive. Mr. Yuan, where are you aiming? The head. The neck. The head. Yes, the head. The head, right? – Splendid.
– Good! Chuan, it’s time to come back to life. Everyone’s waiting for you. Friends, rumors can be deceiving. Turns out he isn’t immortal. Strike up the band. Let’s give a send-off to him. Farewell, [Yuanchu City]
Chuan. Farewell, Chuan. Well, Chuan, how do you like this welcoming party? So, you’re one
of the geniuses of Yuanchu City? A bottom-ranked, body-refining waste seems to have a big mouth. [Zhou Yuan, 137th of the Rank of Genius] What else do you know? I heard you’re a hothead, quick to anger. Am I mad now? You’re about to explode. This nail clipper of yours isn’t very effective. Even a bottom-ranked genius has some… Are you really a genius, or just pretending
in the Anasrava Realm? [Anasrava Realm] Peak Anasrava Realm. Circle Axe Slash! Second Move of Primordial Will Slash. Blaze! [Blaze] Gale Wind Formation! [Die. Five hundred liang silver] Sky’s Beyond? Why are you targeting me? Meng Chuan, you betrayed
the ways becoming a Saint, and still dare
to participate in the trial. As long as you step into Yuanchu City, everyone will try to kill you. Because you are unworthy of being a Saint. Nonsense. Just because I practice body refining, I’m labeled a traitor? Chuan, do you dare to take the challenge? Welcoming the top genius
of Dongning Prefecture into the city. You are Meng Chuan, right? I’m the one responsible
for bringing examinees into the city. Qiyue! Who do you think you are addressing? Rude boy. Show some respect. Call me Ma’am. Alright, let’s get moving. Ma’am, why is the Yuanchu City so deserted? This place exists solely for the trials. This is… Anyone who disobeys the rules will be executed. Furthermore, the orthodox ways to become a Saint forbids those who practice body refining. This is also a rule of Yuanchu City. When they offered me
the Road of Body Refinement, they certainly had ill intentions. Turns out they wanted me
to break this rule. This time, out of the 500 geniuses
participating in the Yuanchu City trial, you’re the only one
practicing body refining. [Sky’s Beyond] So. You… I… – have to fight 499 others.
– have to fight 499 others. [Place your bets.] [Dongning Prefecture’s Meng Chuan.
Life or Death.] I bet Meng Chuan will die. Me too. Count me in. Who is he? That’s Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan? So, he is Meng Chuan? Did you throw it? Are you looking for trouble? [Meng Chuan. Life. Death.] The Zhou Dynasty has 23 prefectures, and each sent at least 20 people. Five hundred geniuses have gathered
in Yuanchu City for what? [Saint]
what’s the point betting on whether I’ll survive? Why not bet on who can become a Saint? Got any money? You just wasted 200,000. Of course I do. Money? I’ve got plenty. But friends? Only one. Chuan, betting money is dull. Why not bet our lives? White-haired Yan, who is this guy? Young master
of the second most powerful family in the Zhou Dynasty, Chu Yong, the King Yama, ranked second on the Rank of Genius. Indeed, quite aptly second-rate. [Episode 31]
[Quite Aptly Second-rate!] [Yuanchu City] City Lord. General. We can’t find any trace of him. Let’s return. In the battle of Dongning Prefecture, Meng Chuan not only killed
the Demon Clan’s leader with one strike, but could even spar with a Demon King. [Saint] He is Wuzhou’s
most promising future Saint. If you really are Meng Chuan, then you certainly have
the right to sit here. But, how can you prove that you are him? That’s ridiculous. Take it easy, Mr. Yan. Everyone here is quite influential. We can’t let just the useless join us. They say Meng Chuan
can come back to life. Let’s just kill him once and see. Mr. Zong, not everyone is lucky enough
to consume an Immortal Herb. It’s probably just a rumor. Isn’t Meng Chuan’s secret technique Autumn Leaves? The visual phenomena
of such a move can’t be faked. Your Highness, the visual phenomena of moves is quite easy to imitate. Does it really matter if he’s real or not? Mr. Zhang, Meng Chuan is a role model
for our younger generation. I really can’t stand seeing his reputation tarnished. What are you proposing? I heard Mr. Chu’s Foundation of Saints is called Power of Judgment. It can distinguish
between truth and falsehood. Is it appropriate
to disclose my information like this, Wang Buyu? We have no choice but to ask for your help. It seems this is our last resort. You can prove yourself if you dare to answer my question. Answer me. – Are you Meng Chuan?
– Are you Meng Chuan? – Are you Meng Chuan?
– Are you Meng Chuan? Don’t respond. It’s a trap. The drum teams outside the city, did you hire them? Answer me. Did you hire those assassins too? – Answer us.
– Answer us. Answer me. Did you do that? The Traveling Saint Guardians
are conducting a routine inspection. Men to the left, women to the right. Everyone, cooperate. Anyone causing trouble, I will make you… Mr. Chuan? Zhang? Mr. Chu, why does he have connections
with the Traveling Saint Guardians? Finally you came. What took you so long? It’s all because of the grand gift
your lieutenant left us. Are you hanging out? Yeah. If I had known you were here, I wouldn’t have shouted so loudly. We know each other so well. How’s everything going with you guys? If you’ve had enough fun, do you want to grab a drink? Sure. Let me introduce you to my good friend, Yan Jin. It’s an honor
to finally meet you, Mr. Yan. Mr. Zhang, let’s save the drink for another day as the Yuanchu Mountain trial
is coming tomorrow. Meng Chuan, let’s go to the guildhall first. Guildhall? What guildhall? You… Haven’t you reported
to the Wuzhou Guildhall? If you don’t report by the hour of Zi, you’ll be considered absent
from the trial. So, this is what you were planning. Chuan, hurry! Forget about them. Let’s just go. Prepare the carriage. We’re going to the City Lord’s Mansion. [Saint] Didn’t I tell you in the letter that the first thing to do
upon entering the city was to report to the guildhall? But you didn’t mention that failing to report
would count as forfeiting. You… There’s still fifteen minutes
until the hour of Zi. You should be able
to make it using Autumn Leaves. I can’t use it now. Are you… truly Meng Chuan? Meng Chuan, I’ll take you there. I know a shortcut. We’ll talk about it later. Giddyup! With this mule, you can forget about the trial. It’s a horse, not a mule. Foundation Technique. Fluttering Flotsam. I’ve never seen the city
from such a height before. Meng Chuan from Dongning Prefecture is here to report in. It’s past the hour of Zi. You’re disqualified. Mr. Chu, how’s the plan going? Just a bit of trickery, and Meng Chuan can’t even get started. Look back. It’s not the hour of Zi yet. If I say it’s past, it’s past. You’ve lost your qualification. So, you’re one of his lapdogs too. Young Lord Meng, take another look. Now, is the hour of Zi already past? Are you playing with me? Saint. [Saint’s Dharma Lakshana:
Fallen Treasure Deity] Your childhood friend Liu Qiyue, with her rare phoenix bloodline, gets a free pass to Yuanchu Mountain. And you [Yuanchu Guildhall]
practice body refinement. How do you expect
to become a Saint by it? You might as well give up now, and go back home to paint. Now, can we discuss our cooperation, My Lord? Mr. Chu, there’s no need to rush. Let’s wait and see. Do we have any other options? Of course. You know why, out of the 500 candidates, you’re ranked 499th? What, there’s someone more disliked than me? The last candidate hasn’t been chosen yet. Unlike the other 499 candidates selected from various prefectures, this last spot has a special trail site
prepared by Yuanchu Mountain, called the Abyss. Two hours before the official trial, the Abyss will open, allowing anyone to participate. If you manage to pass through the Abyss, you’ll qualify
for the Yuanchu Mountain trial. The last person to clear the Abyss was decades ago. Few have returned from it, and those who did, rarely spoke of their experience. Is it really that serious? But I trust you. It seems I failed to report in because of Chu Yong, and you too. You all just want me to enter the Abyss. Exactly. If you can’t get through the Abyss, you can’t complete the General’s plan. So, what do you want me to do? It’s not time yet. All I can tell you is, this trial isn’t that simple and you need to get stronger. To be frank, the Fierce Qi Star
and the body refinement have indeed helped me. But, I’m not interested
in cooperating with you. Whatever plans your General has, I don’t care. But it’s best you don’t scheme against me. Sorry. [Two hours before the trail starts.] Yan Jin, where’s your good friend? Are you sure we’re in the right place? Is this the Abyss? Yes, I’m sure. Go on in. I’ll be waiting for you
passing through the Abyss, Meng Chuan. Looks like someone thinks we’re too weak to play the game. Zhuang Sheng. What kind of event
are you talking about? A dinner party? A drinking session? You’re still joking around. The Abyss sounds pretty intimidating. I’ve got confidence in us. There’s just one person
we need to watch out for. You mean that one over there? There are still two hours
before the trial. Are we just going to wait around here? Do you really think he’ll make it? Did Meng Chuan go
to challenge the Abyss? And he’s not the only one. Competitions between the 499th
and unknown 500th? Let’s see how this unfolds. Foundation Technique. Float! Secret technique. Behind this door, is the testing ground, I suppose. What…? [Mantis Demon King. First Stage] A Demon King? Why? Why? Why? Open the door! I don’t want to do this anymore! Let me out! Is this the Abyss? No wonder no one has made it
through in decades. Because inside the Abyss is a Demon King. It has a King’s Armor. This Demon King is really weak. But it has a King’s Armor. To break its defense,
I can only try Moon Shake. Why don’t you use fierce qi? That’s the power of a Saint. I see. So, fierce qi is the secret for a Saint
to kill a Demon King. Only fierce qi can break the armor. I’ll break the defense, and you finish it off. Third Move of Primordial Will Slash. Penetrate! They managed to defeat the Demon King. Is that… a demon core? It’s also the key to the door. Hurry up! There’s only one key. Darn it. Mirror of Clarity! [Foundation Technique.
Mirror of Clarity] You can’t use your vital qi yet, Meng Chuan. Don’t you understand your own condition? I can’t just stand by and watch him die. Hammer Technique. [Colossal Deity] He knows fierce qi. Look what you’ve done. We had secured the spot, but you just gave it away. Idiot. Look! The door is opening. No way! Meng Chuan really made it through. Impossible. Ji Yuantong. [Ji Yuantong,
500th on the Rank of Genius] Who? The former number one genius
of Yuanchu City. Alright. The bet is officially over. I’m still on a winning streak. Boring. Let’s go. Everyone’s here. The trial is about to start. Hey buddy, sorry about that. If it weren’t for saving us, you would have been the one to go in. Idiot. Assassination. Provocation. Gambling. Scheming. Human nature. Right and wrong. What are you going to do? Without the demon core, the door won’t budge. I’ve seen the dangers of this trial. But now, we’re left outside the door. Then let’s show them who I am. Are you crazy? Stop! How can this door possibly open? Exactly. Without the demon core, the door won’t budge. Exactly. Come back. Stop it. – Your life’s at risk.
– You could get yourself killed. It’s not going to open. [Fourth Stage. Gathering] [Fifth Stage. Qi Alignment] Hold on. Everyone’s not here yet. [Episode 32]
[We Don’t Talk!] Do you have to provoke others? Of course. Mr. Chu. He’s already like that. How dare he still be so arrogant? I know what to do. What? Planning to attack the examiner? What are you staring at? You… Shut up. Injured like this
and still want to join the trial? You must have a death wish. I only have one bottle
of Ethereal Dewdrop. Show off if you want, but be careful. Next time, I won’t save you. Is she Qi…? I feel inside me… That potion is helping you. It’s time to draw a paint for them. Thunder… Painting! [Thunder Painting] How is this possible? He should be severely injured. Didn’t you say
his Foundation of Saints was damaged and he couldn’t use
the Power of Thunder? Wasn’t his Foundation of Saints ruined? If it wasn’t, why did he switch
to body refinement? How do you explain this now? This… Rumor has it
in the battle at Dongning Prefecture, even with just his speed,
he could contend with the Demon Kings. Seems like the rumors are true. Meng Chuan really has
the right to be arrogant. Weren’t you unable to use it? How come you can now? It’s temporary. The potion is incredibly effective. Don’t be afraid. I always hit the master first, then his lackeys. Am I upsetting you? What’s your relationship
with that examiner? Idiot. Even if it’s Ethereal Dewdrop,
how long will its effect last? Meng Chuan. Long enough to kill you. A bunch of unruly brats. Who told you to fight? This is… – a Saintess.
– a Saintess. [Eternal Phase] [Qing Yu, Chief Examiner]
It seems you will be the most reckless batch
of candidates. Before coming to Yuanchu City, did you say farewell to your parents? Did you settle your affairs? The Demon Slaying Contest you joined was arena battles, right? They had you duel monsters one-on-one, and if you couldn’t win,
you just surrendered or jumped out of the arena. At most, you’d be crippled, or seriously injured. But sorry, in Yuanchu Mountain trials, you could die. In the worst trial, everyone died by the second round. So, [Last Will] leave a last will. If you die in the trials, your bodies might not even be found. Leaving a last will will at least give some peace
to your loved ones. Anyone else? Good. Those who have left a last will, get out. For those who remain, I don’t know if you’re lucky or not. But the door to becoming Saints has opened for you. Becoming Saints means wealth, fame, power, and even the ability to destroy worlds. You’ll have it all. After three rounds of trials,
we’ll know the results. In the end, only ten
can ascend Yuanchu Mountain to become Saints. Let’s get moving. Are you all ready to face death? Then, the Yuanchu Mountain trials begin now. Is it starting now? [Trial Site: Tianquan] They didn’t say what the test is. [Trial Site: Yuheng]
No rules mentioned either. [Trial Site: Tianxuan] How are we supposed to be tested? [Trial Site: Kaiyang] [Speed] Speed. What does it mean? [Yuanchu Mountain trials,
first round: speed] Everyone, look! What’s that? That’s… [White Demon King, First Stage]
A Demon King. – Run!
– Let’s run! What a mess. Fluttering Flotsam. Darn it. The potion’s effect has worn off. Chuan, can you hold on? Don’t worry, I can fight all day. This Demon King is so pathetic. Foundation Technique. [Black Demon King, First Stage] A first-stage Demon King. You just embarrassed me, Wang Buyu. Don’t worry, Mr. Chu, Meng Chuan won’t survive this round. Qi Chou, lead the way. This trial, are we supposed to compete
on who can kill the Demon Kings first? Does Yuanchu Mountain want us dead? Speed… Maybe it’s a race. Run! You guys go first. We’ll hold it off. Are you crazy? That’s a Demon King! A first-stage Demon King. I think we can kill it. You’re mad. Both of you are mad. Looks like you know
how to kill the Demon King. I’ll give you a surprise. This is called fierce qi. It can break its King’s Armor. Take the chance to strike it. Fierce qi. Seems like you haven’t been idle
these past three months. Extreme Power. Is that all? Are you too strong, or is this Demon King fake? It’s a doppelganger. The real self is elsewhere. [Speed] What are we really supposed to do
in this round of trials? It’s definitely not
just about killing Demon Kings. Let’s go check it out again. – First place.
– Your Highness, according to the intel, the piece is right here. First trial, secured. Fifth place. Sixth place. Ninth place. I just saw the princess and her guard disappeared right on the spot. Looks like someone already knew the answer to this trial. Fourteenth place. Thirty-eighth place. It’s an old friend. We need to work in sync this time. White-haired Yan. Yan Jin. You’re done for! Meng Chuan, so you really can’t use
the Power of Thunder. You little trickster almost fooled me. Are you really that afraid of me, Bangs? Bangs? So annoying. Fan Technique. Tempestuous Dust. You look all flashy, but you do have some skills. You blind fool, I’m oozing with charm. [Wang Buyu,
eighth of the Rank of Genius] You and your master make a perfect pair. One’s an idiot, and the other’s a clown. [Episode 33]
[Come on, Clown] Well then, shall we begin? [Meng Chuan. Wang Buyu] The Cangyuan game, using Yuanchu Mountain’s trials
as the board, held every three years, has existed for centuries. The winner of the game, not only gains all of Yuanchu City, but also the right
to claim Cangyuan’s legacy. To maintain your power and create a new era of body refinement, then, win this game. You wish to usher in a golden era
for body refinement. Relying on Meng Chuan alone will not suffice. Meng Chuan alone may not be enough, but he’s more than enough for me
to crush your pawns and win this game. My intel was correct. Your Foundation of Saints has been ruined. Where’s that attitude of yours? Kill me with your Power of Thunder, Meng Chuan. What’s this one’s ranking again? He’s not weak. [Rank of Genius] [Qi Chou, 11th of the Rank of Genius] Can’t believe
someone’s foundation posture is a dog. His strength and speed are so much better now. Foundation Technique, Dead Sea! On your knees, now! Able to withstand
times the pressure of the Dead Sea, you’re one tough dog. Still moving? He’s gone. The 78th. Once the time is up, those who fail to come out will never have a chance to come out. You are nobody as I expected. Other than your brute strength, what else have you got? Then, I’ll show you something different. Fourth Move of Primordial Will Slash. Fan Technique, Tempestuous Dust! [Tempestuous Dust] Vast Sea! [Vast Sea] What kind of power is this? It’s not foundational power or a kind of technique. What, is your information wrong after all? How are you ranked the eighth with what you’ve got? What, feeling salty? Now, your ranking is mine. Meng Chuan, do you know why I’m ranked eighth
on the Rank of Genius? The heavens bear witness! I, Wang Buyu, hereby accuse Meng Chuan of intentional harm, disregarding human life. [Crime]
Meng Chuan, do you know what my foundational power is? Petty tricks. Someone come. Arrest the culprit. Bring him to the court. All of them are at the Pill Condensation Phase. Defying the penal orders is an additional crime. Run. Run if you want, Meng Chuan. Dare defy the penal orders? Your sins will only grow heavier. What awaits you is the death penalty. So, Chuan, does my strength meet your expectations? Why do you care so much
about my opinion? Feeling insecure, huh? If you don’t take the easy way, take the harshest punishment. Meng Chuan, Guilty of countless offenses, you shall be scorched. Carry out the execution. Let me see if you’re still defiant. Told you to shut your filthy mouth. What, no words now? Go on. Are you targeting me only
because of my body refinement? Someone as lowly as you does not deserve my attention. If not for Mr. Chu saying killing you would earn me
a place at Yuanchu Mountain, I wouldn’t even glance at you. I’m more curious than you why Chu Yong, the young master
of the second top family, the emperor’s son-in-law, would plan three months in advance just to target you. What exactly do you have in you? I see. Turns out you don’t know either. You’ve made me
put on this show for nothing. You… How can you use illusions? I learned some basics from my friend. Where did he go? The 212th and the 213th. Looks like Meng Chuan won’t make it out. Of course. Today is the day he dies. Meng Chuan, you shouldn’t have killed me. You shouldn’t have! Meng Chuan has committed murder and deserves death. [Formal-sin Judge] Bring him… to… the… guillotine. This guy won’t even stay quiet in death. Behead him. Meng Chuan, bite this apart. [Episode 34]
[Here, Twist It] Meng Chuan is truly overwhelming. In this first round, I lost fair and square. As the loser, shouldn’t you reward me with something, City Lord? Ears or fingers? Please pick one. People specializing Body Refinement
like you are truly savage. Then I’ll reward you with one. Three rounds of trials with three pawns. I’m looking forward to knowing who you’ll send for the second trial. How thrilling. I can hardly wait. The 387th. Thanks for bringing back my sword. Treat me to a meal. Of course. Useless trash. I didn’t expect so many to survive. As expected of the top geniuses of the Zhou Dynasty. The trials for Yuanchu Mountain are too difficult. Do you want us dead? Yeah. There’s no way
we can handle the Demon King. Isn’t this murder? Letting the Demon King kill people, is this what Yuanchu Mountain
calls a trial? – On what grounds?
– On what grounds? – Yeah.
– Yeah. Ma’am, it’s ready. Please don’t be mad. Our goal is to make you stronger. You will be compensated
for the first trial. Do you want to master
the power of Saints in advance? The opportunity lies in the boxes. The power of Saints? Why can the Saints break through
the Demon Kings’ armor? Because of fierce qi. This Fierce Qi Star will allow you to master fierce qi
ahead of time. As long as you pass the second trial, you’ll be taught
how to cultivate fierce qi. A Fierce Qi Star? Yuanchu Mountain has quite the generosity. Are we deliberately targeted? All right. Geniuses, go back and rest well. The next trial will be more exciting. – Let’s go.
– Let’s go. Well, let them. It’s not like we need it. It was truly perilous this time. Wang Buyu is only ranked eighth, but his foundational power is bizarre. I almost fell. Can’t underestimate these people. Let’s go. Chuan. Yeah? Come in and check this. Why are you coming out from there? Take this. Is this what you’ve been working on? Twist it. What… What is this? Your Foundation of Saints may be restored as long as we decode this inheritance from the stars. From the stars? Fell from the sky? I stole it. Don’t worry about it. It’s a good thing anyway. Being secretive, huh? What’s its use? The inheritance can cleanse your body and restore your Foundation of Saints. Really? Without the Foundation of Saints, body refinement isn’t enough to deal with the geniuses. I’ll try to apprehend it before the next trial. Don’t disturb me. Wait, Mr. Yan. Do you even play this? Yes, I do. It’s just… Can we take a break? Get lost if you don’t play. I do. I can. Again? One more shot and he’ll be dead or crippled. He’s risking his life just to gain favor with the Yan family. Fine. If you can catch this one, we’ll be good friends. [Yan Chitong,
first of the Rank of Genius] I can’t. I’ll die. Whoa. Who kicked it back? Who was it? That was something. Crap. Barely dodged it. Meng Chuan? Interesting. The brat plays well. Too bad I don’t play anymore. If I were still in Linjiang Village, I’d have played properly with him. Do you know who he is? Don’t mess with him. He’s Yan Chitong, the 13-year-old top genius
of Yuanchu City. We must get acquainted then. You just beat up his older brother, and you want to get acquainted? The one you beat in the Sky’s Beyond. Go die! [Yan family, Saint family] [Yan Chiwu, the Young Master] Oh, him. The Yan family has a king and two lords. Fire King of Yan. [Fire King of Yan] Lord Xihai. [Lord Xihai] Lord Nanyun. [Lord Nanyun] It’s the top Saint family of Zhou. You beat up Lord Nanyun’s son. They will not let this go. That guy… set me up with quite a trap. Yuanchu City can be too dangerous for us to handle. What do you mean? We need allies. Qiyue is the examiner. No, we can’t go to Qiyue. Now that she avoided recognizing us, she must have her own reasons. Let’s find other help. Do you know anyone else in Yuanchu City? We’ll talk about it later. Let’s find a place to rest. [Wuzhou Guildhall, Candidates’ Dorm]
Mr. Chu! Come out and show us something! All candidates live here? Show us your power! People here are eccentric. You’ll get used to it. We just can’t find a peaceful place. Pony, stop it. Go. Ye? [Yulan Street] This is Yulan Street. It’s underground without sunlight, so it’s also called Sleepless City. Fresh vegetables! Sir, buy some vegetables. I didn’t know there’d be such a place under Yuanchu City. Freshly steamed buns! People living here are refugees who escaped from other places. The generous former city lord didn’t expel them but gave them some land, which has developed into this street. It’s a bit noisy and shabby. So… are you sure you want to stay here? Of course, Ye. It looks way more comfortable
here than above. Am I right, White-haired Yan? The tanghulu here looks nice. Disappeared again, huh? You could get lost. Don’t eat it then. Eat crap. Look. It’s where Pony lives. My house is right behind. We’re here. It’s where the grooms live. But other grooms have moved out. I’m the only one living here. It’s been ages since someone came. It’s not that neat. Oh, I forgot to buy bedding. Don’t worry. Don’t put so many things on your mind. This is nice. It really is. I’ve broken through
to Stage Five of Body Refinement, but how can I reach Stage Six? There’s only one line in the book. “There’s no building without breaking. Break first, then build.” What does it mean? Pony! You were too being too rough. How could you hit Pony’s head? Exactly. And yet you’re eating
their sweet potato. Shut up. Give it to me. It’s quite nice. Sweet. The persimmons are sweeter. Pony loves them. When they ripen in winter, we can try them together. What’s he doing? Drawing. He can draw? He looks like he only fights, but his true talent lies in drawing. This work [Wretches Barking]
should go down in history. Who farted? Not me. Don’t stop me. I’m going to kill this donkey today. All right. Don’t be mad. It’s just a mule. It’s a pony! Not a mule, not a donkey! Revenge! I’m taking revenge! Curse you, Meng Chuan. I’m going to break his leg, both of his legs! Slow down. You’re injured. Mother, avenge me. You really embarrassed the family. Not only were you used, but you were beaten by a rustic fool. Here. Open your mouth. No. I won’t drink it. Just let me die. You… The young master of the Yan family? No one cares I’m beaten! Why should I have the family talisman? I’m a failure. Put it down. Here. Open your mouth. Now that’s my good son. Someone come. My Lady. You call Yan Kuan for me. Yes, My Lady. Where are we going? To find allies. If anything happens in Yuanchu City, go to the rouge shop
and look for Aunt Dishisan. She’ll help you. He is… Mr. Meng, the Yan family requests your presence. [Yan family] [Yan Kuan, Body Refinement Saint] The Yan family? He also practices body refinement. I didn’t expect there would be someone
practicing body refinement in such a prestigious Saint family
like Yan family. I’m probably your senior. Meng Chuan, we’re walking this path all because of Xiao Jinyu. White-haired Yan, you’ll have to look for
Aunt Dishisan yourself. [Demon Slaying] Are you really going? Yes. Then be careful. Lead the way, Mr. Yan. Mr. Chu, in the first match, we lost terribly. I underestimated him. I didn’t expect even Wang Buyu
couldn’t take him down. Seems body refinement has something special about it. At least, he took quite a beating. Then what are you planning to do? To smash a hard rock, we need a harder one. Let’s see if Xiao Jinyu’s disciples can kill his adorable junior. [Yan’s Residence] We will return you your sword when you leave. If you can. My Lady, Meng Chuan is here. So, this is the lady of the Yan family? A handsome man. Not bad. Come on. Hit me. What does this woman mean? I told you to hit me. Why did I do it? Get up. Hit me hard. What kind of strange
foundational power is that? Did Xiao tell you? I spent half a year and endured so many beatings to break through Stage Six and form the Death Kasaya. Death Kasaya? Now, I’m going to kill you. She does have different fierce qi. More ferocious and more solid. Stabilizing the chaotic fierce qi and wrapping it around her body, flowing yet solid, like an unbreakable garment, can significantly improve
her attack and defense. This is the Death Kasaya, which can only be mastered
by one at Stage Six of body refinement. With this, those at Stage Six
can easily crush those at Stage Five. Only by reaching Stage Six, will one truly be
on the path of body refinement. Weakling, is that all you’ve got? I’m not satisfied yet. Be patient. The Death Kasaya, right? There’s no building without breaking. Break first, then build. So it means… to get beat up. Death Kasaya! Death Kasaya? You’ve apprehended the Death Kasaya? Good. Now that’s what will satisfy me. You’d better kill me. [Episode 35]
[You’d Better Kill Me] Rouge shop. Rouge shop. Rouge shop. Rouge shop. Rouge shop. Why is there no Rouge shop? This kid managed to grasp Death Kasaya in just a short exchange,
surpassing his current level. Such talent is unheard of. Death Kasaya. Great. Now it’s getting exciting. You better kill me. You bet I will. I can feel the fierce qi protecting me and forging me. With every collision and exchange, my body grows stronger. If I keep fighting like this, I can break through to the sixth stage
in one go. The descendant of Saintess Meng
from Dongning Prefecture is you? – Madam.
– Madam. What are you doing here? To prevent you
from further disgracing the Yan family. The way this old lady looks at me is oddly familiar. You do have some of your great-uncle’s charm. Madam, you knew my great-uncle? If you want to know, wait until you become a Saint. For now, you don’t need to know. You may leave and prepare for the next trial. Tong has quite an admiration for you. That brat. I’ll visit another day. Are we just going to let him go? This kid has a history with Madam. No one has ever left
the Yan’s Residence unscathed. He’s a descendant
of an old acquaintance of mine. We’ll leave it at that. You old hag! You wretched crone! You think you can just brush it off? I’m furious! I’m livid! My Lady, leave him to me. Very well. Cripple him and then kill him. Certainly. [Episode 36]
[That’s Not Enough] What a pity. If the fight had continued, I might have broken through
to the sixth stage in one go. Yan family business. Everyone, clear the way. Excuse me, please. One bowl of Qingke noodles. She really wanted me dead. Hey, how long have you been
refining your body? Three months. Three months
and already at the fifth stage? I know I’m talented. I started body refining
with Xiao Jinyu at age 20. I reached the third stage in a year, the fifth in two, and the sixth in three. Now, twenty years later, I’m stuck at the seventh stage and can’t advance. How is that my problem? Xiao Jinyu is a fraud. Meng Chuan, the path of body refinement leads nowhere. Oh? He tricked me, saying getting beaten
would make me stronger. I suffered immensely, and for what? I’m still just a servant. That isn’t something you can blame anyone for. I’m going to knock some sense into you. Then go ahead, please. His fierce qi is indeed more intense than the Scorpion Spirit’s. You’re right. To break through to the sixth stage, one needs to be tempered by fierce qi, constantly getting beaten. But can you really endure till the end? General, here’s your order. Looks like I’ll either break through or get beaten to death. This kid can break my Death Kasaya. Well, well. What a thrill! How do you like that, huh? Does it hurt? Does it? Not enough. Still lacking a bit. Today, I will give you a proper lesson. I’ll make you feel all the pain I’ve endured! Yes. So, still not enough. Step aside. General, that’s enough. No rush. He’s only got one bone broken. So, have you broken through yet? Again. Come again. Don’t worry. I will help you get beaten to death. The Traveling Saint Guardians
are on a case. Clear the way! Just a moment, sir. We’ll finish soon. Is the Yan family trying
to break Yuanchu City’s rules? We want you to know, Ma’am, that the Yan family sets the rules in Yuanchu City. Is that so? Then where does that leave me? Meng Chuan, still clinging to life by a thread, huh? [Body Refinement, Sixth Stage] Xiao… Jin… Yu. You came to save him yourself? Yan Kuan, why take out your grudge on your junior? Are you that jealous of him? If you hadn’t tricked me back then, I wouldn’t have followed you
into body refinement. You fraud! Come on, I’ll give you a chance for revenge. Have you been practicing the Seven Combat Skills I taught you? Today, I’m going to return all the humiliation you gave me! [Punch] [Grapple] [Throw] [Twist] [Subdue] [Shift] Body refinement is a dead end. [Kick] These years, you haven’t made any progress at all. Stop. Stop hitting me. It hurts. It’s not that you lack talent. You’re just afraid of pain. Body refinement only comes through relentless training. But you’re a coward. I’ll spare your life, so you can see how we refine our body. Chuan, I’ve found… Chuan. Why such a mess? How am I going to explain this to Liu, General? Your strategy is too risky. Don’t worry about him. This kid is tough. He’s a natural for body refinement. He should be breaking through
the sixth stage. This kid is aiming to break through
two stages in a row. I’ll leave it to you. I didn’t expect you to have such high hopes for him. You’ve really put it all on the line, General Xiao. Openly opposing the Yan family,
the strongest in Yuanchu City. Aren’t you afraid of losing your position? Meng Chuan would rather
kill you himself. So, I won’t touch you. Do you think he still has a chance? The next piece in this game is me. Go back, eat your fill, keep warm, and await your end. Today, I broke the Yan family’s rules. I will visit another day to apologize. What should we do? What do we do now, Aunt Dishisan? Don’t worry. He’s fine. Carry him on your back, and follow me. [Next day] Meng Chuan probably won’t make it today, right, Mr. Chu? We had so many people
ready to deal with him. It’s a shame he won’t show up. Have you heard of that? Meng Chuan from Dongning Prefecture got crippled. Who did it? The Yan family, of course. Who else in Yuanchu City would dare act so recklessly? [Yulan Street] [Smoke Shop]
Will this really heal him? This is Jade Healing Paste
from Yuanchu Mountain. I’m using an entire bucket on him. I’ve drained our reserves for him. His bones are completely shattered. Even with Jade Healing Paste, he needs to rest for quite some time. But the next trial is tomorrow. If he doesn’t wake up by then, he won’t make it to the next round. It’ll count as a forfeit. Chuan, you can’t forfeit. If he can’t make it, someone will take his place. You mean… To get a stand-in? Indeed. Once he gets through this round, he’ll have a much-needed break to fully recover. Are they really going to risk getting caught by the Yuanchu Mountain Saint? What a gamble. Desperate times
call for desperate measures. Senior Qingyu, Qiyue took off his examiner’s uniform and left. Let her be, as her lover was crippled. Regardless of the risk of being exposed, where can we find someone in Yuanchu City willing to impersonate him? Me. Mr. Chu, it’s only been a day, but I’ve really missed you. Mr. Chu, don’t put up a long face. I’m here. Bai Xiaosheng, what’s going on here? Mr. Chu, I saw Meng Chuan getting carried inside. He was crippled and severely injured. Then how are you going to explain this? Well… maybe they found someone to pretend to be him as we guessed. [Episode 37]
[He Is the Fake One?] Listen, I’m in a good mood today. Since someone hasn’t arrived here, let’s play a game. A game? Why? What kind of game? Alright. The game is musical chairs. Just so you know, no vital qi or Foundation Technique
in the game. I’m not playing! You forced us to attend the first trial without telling us the rules. What tricks do you want to play
this time? You can’t do whatever you want. Join in, or no? What? You, talents of the Zhou, don’t even dare to play a game? Count the number of people in this round. Yes, Mr. Chu. The last round. You’ve recovered? How did you manage to do that? Do you think I’m an impostor? Are you? What do you think? I don’t care. I’ll kill you anyway. Let’s see. It seems that’s all for the musical chairs. But we can continue to have fun in the trial. I guess you’re recovering well, my lord. You are doing great as well, General. I guess Meng Chuan
made another breakthrough. He can be a good move. He is indeed
better than your second piece. [Second round of the game] Senior Qingyu, they’re pieces for the second round. [Meng Chuan. Chu Yong] [Yuanchu Mountain Trial, second round.
Fight For It] Bai Xiaosheng, have you finished counting? How many people? There are 388. How many passed in the last round? It’s 387. There’s one extra. Meng Chuan indeed found someone
to pretend to be him before he joined in secret. The examiner should know there’s an extra person. Why didn’t they stop it? It means that that person is special. Don’t forget that Meng Chuan’s childhood sweetheart was recruited to Yuanchu Mountain. Don’t worry, Mr. Chu. Sweetheart or bitter heart, I will beat them all. You? A lump
who’s substituting Wang Buyu? Don’t brag. Enough. Yan Jin and Liu Qiyue are the only helpers Meng Chuan has. He needs an impostor, which means he is injured badly. The six of us can defeat them for sure. After I find Meng Chuan, I will give you a notice with this. As long as he is still here in the city, he won’t be able to get away. [Bai Xiaosheng, Paper Man,
18th of the Rank of Genius] What’s the rule of this trial? No more Demon Kings? A chair? It wasn’t here in the last trial. Is it the key to the trial? [50] [49]
To get the chair? Now I know why the examiner
chose that game. It was not for nothing. What the… [50]
So this is the trial about. Fifty chairs are the fifty tickets to the next round. From over 300 people down to 50. It’s going to be harsh. [48]
It’s not simply sitting on the chair. [49]
We have to sit at the same time. And in this ancient city, there are still two Demon Kings lurking. Sitting on the chair makes you a clear target for them. If you sit,
the Demon Kings will come for you, but if you don’t,
you cannot pass the trial. It’s a dead end. Some of them are guarding the chair now. Taking the chair with them will buy them a little bit of time, but that is it. Once the Demon Kings find them, [47]
they will be dead. [48] I guess the examiner wants us
to work with each other. However, we are competitors. Competition doesn’t work. Only interests can attract these stupid examinees. Even if you are eliminated, you will be well rewarded by the Zhou Dynasty as long as you keep Her Highness safe. Yuanchu Mountain is as sick as always. Forget about the irrelevant. Did you find Meng Chuan? Yes. He’s at Yuheng. But there’s no sight of Yan Jin. There are only two masked men. One of them is Meng Chuan. The person who kills him will follow me to Yuanchu Mountain. [Yuheng] Since you like pretending
to be Meng Chuan, you can die for him. Mr. Yan, don’t hide anymore. You will get yourself killed if you help the crippled Meng Chuan. [Yu Chang, Venomous Spider,
13th of the Rank of Genius] The masked men left Yan Jin here
and ran away. Based on the route, they will show up in Kaiyang. Kaiyang? Then we will get him. Don’t be reckless. Stop them first. Wait for us at Kaiyang to get him killed. He doesn’t seem to be an injured man. This bearded man is very strong. [Shangguan Feng, Thousand-Faces,
11th of the Rank] [Dong Fang, Power of Ground,
19th of the Rank of Genius] It’s strange. The fake one ran away
and left the real Meng Chuan here. Something’s wrong. How dare he
fight against two guys by himself? Bai Xiaosheng, at Yuheng or Kaiyang, did the fake Meng Chuan make any move? No. The masked men have been protecting the fake one. He is badly injured, but he still attends the trial, but because of the injury, he has to do some tricks
to buy himself time. Darn it. He is fooling us. The one who didn’t make any move is the real Meng Chuan. Bai Xiaosheng, where is he now? At Yaoguang. Excellent. Meng Chuan, you can’t get away this time. Yaoguang will be your last stop. You are finally tired and need a chair, Mr. Chuan? Mr. Chu, you’ve been
chasing after me all the way. Do you like me? You still have the mood to make jokes. I guess you are not that injured then. You can check by yourself, Mr. Chu. There’s no rush. Let me introduce my fiancee. Do you like flowers, Meng Chuan? [Li Shaoying, Frosty-night Hunter,
4th of the Rank of Genius] It’s you, Twin Tail. Don’t call her Twin Tail. [Zong Sha, Holy-crane Feather,
6th of the Rank of Genius] It’s Her Highness. Phoenix? Pardon me. My fiancee is also an excellent shooter. A third masked man? Wait. If this is Liu Qiyue, that one is… Mr. Chu, there’s more. There are four masked men. How’s that possible? Who are helping him? Reveal yourselves. The power of Sunburst. You are… Zhang Lie! [Zhang Lie, Golden Sunburst,
7th of the Rank of Genius] Who are you? Immortal General, Yan Feng. [Yan Feng, Immortal General,
3rd of the Rank of Genius] Yan Feng, third of the Rank of Genius. Zhang Lie,
seventh of the Rank of Genius. And the only living person
with the phoenix bloodline today, Liu Qiyue. [Liu Qiyue, Divine Body of Phoenix] You know my sweetheart? You know a lot then. Good on you, Meng Chuan. You have all these people helping you, and they all rank in the top ten. You reckon I’m the real one now? [Episode 37]
[He Is the Real One] I’m actually confused now. Mr. Chu, it’s time to run. Don’t stop chasing me. Meng Chuan, to kill you, eight of the top ten
are in this battle now. Who else will you drag into this? Chu, you need to run faster. I’ll answer you properly
if you catch me! [A day ago] In the Yuanchu City, where can I find someone who can [Smoke Shop]
and who willing to pretend to be him? I’ll take the test for him. Qiyue. You can’t. It’s too risky. What should we do then? Chuan won’t be able to recover
within ten days. He won’t catch up tomorrow’s trial. It’s not enough. A little more. Can you still hold on, Chuan? Yes. I have to. You need pain. A lot of… Pain. He wanted to break through
two stages in a row. “There’s no building without breaking. Break first, then build.” This is… the Stage Seven of Body Refinement! [Build after break.
Stage Seven of Body Refinement] You’re worthy
of being Liu Yebai’s disciple. Bravo. Body refinement is really dangerous. What were you thinking? Do you have to take this risk? Nothing ventured, nothing gained. At least, we will pass
the second round test for sure. From the first day I entered the city, this guy was setting me up. You thought that was the end? That was only the beginning. What he set were entangled tricks. You survived one but fell into another. Everywhere you turn, there’s a trap. Each would get you killed. In the second round, he surely won’t let me go. Even if I manage to escape, after the second round they will control the Fierce qi. By then,
they will be even harder to deal with. So this time, we have to take the initiative. Not to mention Chu Yong who ranks second on the list with unfathomable strength, the group of geniuses
gathered around him are not easy to deal with. Although you’ve broken
through Stage Seven, without the Foundation of Saints… I can restore the Power of Thunder. Really? Yes. It’s true! But just as you said, White-haired Yan, they’re outnumbered. That’s why we need some helpers as well. Helpers? Who would like to help us? Do you know other geniuses? Nope. But Qiyue knows, right, Madam? It will be too late
after you find any helpers. Luckily, I was prepared. [Episode 38]
[You’re So Reliable] [Second round of trial] Stabbed. I thought the Immortal General
ranked third should be stronger. Should a genius ranking third follow the guy at the 499th place? He’s not far-sighted to choose his master. Master? Do you think you’re a servant? Go to the hell! Die! When it comes to spear techniques, I won’t lose. Secret technique, Falling Rain. Secret technique, Falling Rain. I heard that he would never die. But now he’s dead as a doornail. How can someone never die? Let’s go. You should show me some respect. How could it be possible? You…! You… really… I’m also very frustrated that no one can kill me. [A day ago] [Yulan Street] Leave here. Thank you, sir. Who the hell are you? How dare you meddle in
Mr. Chu’s plan? You have a death wish! Are you Chu Yong’s new lackeys? You don’t recognize me? You… ruined Mr. Chu’s plan. He will never let it go. I, Yan Feng, love to break his plan. If he’s unhappy, I will enjoy his pain. You’re worthy of your name as the Immortal General,
one of the Two Masters of Zhou. Yan Feng. You know me? Of course, I do. You’re not from a Saint Family but from a humble family. But since you were a child, you showed great talent with a spear, thus, you were admitted
to the Taoist monastery. With Chu Yong, you are known as the Two Masters
of the capital with immense fame for a while. But at the age of 13, you went into seclusion on the mountain, yet were hunted down
by bandits arranged by Chu Yong and fell into a cliff. Everyone in the capital
thought you were dead, but a month later, you returned unscathed, with only your eyebrows turned scarlet. The first thing you did
when you returned was to fight a death battle with Chu Yong. You fought for a day and a night. In the end, Chu Yong pierced your heart. Everyone thought you were dead, but you came back to life in front of everyone. It turns out
that after you fell off the cliff, you were lucky to get the Immortal Herb,
a rare treasure. With your deathless body, you fought with Chu Yong
for several days. You were killed repeatedly but resurrected again and again. In the end, His Majesty forced you two to stop. Then you quit the fight unwillingly. But your feud started. For the rest of your life, you won’t stop killing him
until you’re dead. Am I right? You have a crush on me? There’s an opportunity
to ruin Chu Yong’s plan now. Are you in? [Second round of trial] Foundation Technique Slaughtering. What the hell is this? No. I will not die. I will become a Saint. Foundation Technique! Foundation Technique, Blood Rain. Besides Yan Feng, who else can help me? Zhang Lie. He hates the evils. His rise to fame came from
slaying corrupt officials in his town. The locals call him “Swordsman Zhang”. Moreover. He was recommended
by the Traveling Saint Guardians. You will have a bright future. Why do you make an enemy of Mr. Chu,
the future emperor’s son-in-law? You have gone too far and sabotaged the trial. I’ll set things right. Then… you’ll have to die. You’re so strong. That was just a joke. Poison. What? Anyone who stands
in my way of becoming a Saint must die. Foundation Technique, Rising Sun. I am the Golden Sunburst, like the brilliant sun burning away the evils of the world. One is ranked third. The other is the seventh. With their help, it would be easier. There are only four including us. Is that enough? Invite a few more? There are only two genius left in the top ten now. The first place and the tenth. Who should we bring in? Meng Chuan, you can’t kill me. And I will kill you for sure. Can’t be killed? Is the deathless body so common now? Even examiners like us have no idea about his Foundation of Saints. The Chu family keeps everything about him like a secret. Is it so tough? Are you going to keep running? It’s you again. Ji Yuantong, kill him! So this guy’s name is Ji Yuantong. Show your true skills, former top genius of Yuanchu City. You’re in no position to boss me around. Okay. As long as you can kill Meng Chuan. What are you up to? Count me in. Yan Chitong, what do you mean? Are you betraying the noble families? You don’t deserve
to represent the noble families. You idiot. I have a game to play. Do you want to join me? Great. The Yan family doesn’t want to be
the top family anymore. It’s the turn of the Chu family. Mr. Chu, take it easy. Let’s go. Meng Chuan! What are you yelling for? Come on. Let me kick your ass. We need to look for the best. As long as he is willing to help, we will make it. Then what? You’re going to fight Chu Yong alone? Then you have to restore
the Power of Thunder before that. Don’t keep me in suspense. What exactly is your solution? The solution is… Demon King’s core. [25] [24] Looks like your new friends are pretty reliable. What about you? Are you reliable? Sure. I’ve cracked
this inheritance completely. It can help you restore
the Power of Thunder in no time. But there’s something more reliable I must tell you. It’s about the truth of this trial. So, this is what hides behind the trial. What are you going to do? There’s no rush. Let’s kill the Demon King first. Kill the Demon and get its core. Restore the power of Thunder. This Demon King is at least at the Second Stage. It’s way stronger than the one in the Abyss. An ordinary slash of fierce qi won’t break its King’s Armor. I’ll need to go all out. Try to minimize
the consumption of fierce qi. We may only have one chance
to break the King’s Armor. At the same time, someone needs to deliver
the finishing blow. – Demon King’s core?
– Demon King’s core? That’s right. The Demon Kings are the only chance
to recover my Power of Thunder. How can you face the Demon King alone? Even if you’re skilled in fierce qi, it’s hard to face him alone. So, you guys need to finish off
the opponents quickly and come help me. Qiyue, Yan Jin, hurry up. I can’t hold on much longer by myself. Seven Stars. Foundation Technique. Phoenix Flame! You truly are of the phoenix bloodline. Handling two at once, impressive. I’m attacking the candidates. Aren’t you going to stop me? Not at all. I just need you to stay here. Feel free to kill them. Darn it. He’s obviously trying to stop me. What is Meng Chuan up to? He thought he could leave by blocking us? Let me give you a kick, and I’ll tell you. You… Meng Chuan, what are you preparing for? This won’t do. I have to catch up with him. Ji Yuantong, I’m leaving this guy to you. I’ll follow if you flee. What? Whose side are you on? None of your business. You little brat! Ji Yuantong, not bad. You haven’t embarrassed the top geniuses. Playing ball with me is an honor for you. Hey, scumbag, I didn’t say you could leave. Want to pass? You’ll have to take me down first. Bai Xiaosheng, help me out. Meng Chuan, can you really handle this? I’ve delayed long enough. Paper? Bai Xiaosheng, tell me where Meng Chuan is. Mr. Chu, Meng Chuan is challenging the Demon King. What? He is fighting the Demon King alone. Fighting the Demon King alone? Meng Chuan, what exactly are you up to? I will not let you succeed. You wretch. I don’t have time to waste on you. Chuan, I’m coming. Darn it. There’s no time left. [Bellicose Hound] Foundation Technique. Dead Sea. What if we’re late? If we delay even a moment, your plan will be ruined. No. You won’t be late. How can you be so sure? I have faith in you. In short, I will do my utmost to break his King’s Armor. Then, there will be a very clear signal. In short, My life is in your hands. White-haired Yan, don’t keep me waiting too long. I promised Chuan. I will absolutely not be late. We need to end this now. Any further delay will exhaust your fierce qi. Darn it. White-haired Yan, Qiyue, have you arrived yet? Qian Yu, move aside! Finally. That is White-haired Yan’s aura. [Yan Jin, White-haired Immortal,
5th tenth of the Rank of Genius] Foundation Technique. Immortal’s Blessing! No matter where I am, I will make it here. Now it’s your turn to shine, Chuan. This slash has all of my fierce qi. Fifth Move of Primordial Will Slash. Butterflies! I’ll leave the rest to you. White-haired Yan. Foundation Technique. Star Plucking. That’s… Primordial Spirit Technique Mobilize. Mr. Chu, you’re late. Let’s begin. Zhuang Sheng. This legacy is the source
of all Foundation Techniques. It has the power to purify the body and reshape the sinews and bones. It is called… the Method of Seated Meditation. Abandon the physical form. It means to discard cleverness, to leave behind form and knowledge, and to merge with the great unity. This is called Seated Meditation. Seated Meditation. They’re all back. [Saints’ Foundation Technique] [Secret technique] [Mirror of Clarity] [Moon Shake] [Extreme Speed] [Autumn Leaves] They’re all back. Meng Chuan, your restored power means nothing. I’ll still kill you. You’re nothing but a violent, arrogant schemer who’s been plotting against me. I’ve had enough. You’re asking for it, worm. Prepare to die. [Episode 39]
[I Am Back] Secret technique. Sanzu River! How is it? The Demon Kings are dead. They all came to watch the show. They… Forget it. Seems our princess isn’t exactly fond
of her future husband. Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yan, I, on behalf of Meng Chuan, thank you both for your help. Even if I hadn’t helped you, I would have found a way
to kill him sooner or later. It was nothing. But as far as I know, this Chu Yong isn’t easy to deal with, is he, Mr. Yan? He is extremely difficult. Thunder Goodness. [Secret technique. Thunder Goodness] Meng Chuan, you took two lives from me today. How is he unscathed? Chu Yong’s true Saint’s Foundation, called the Power of Reincarnation, allows him to bind the souls
of six guilty individuals. Each soul acts as a shield,
absorbing a fatal blow. That’s like having six extra lives. But it’s more than that. Each soul’s destruction strengthens his foundation. I destroyed five of his lives, yet his power still overwhelmed me. The second of the Rank of Genius
against the second-to-last, interesting. Meng Chuan, come on! Let’s see how many more lives
you can take from me. [Chu Yong, King Yama,
2nd of the Rank of Genius] I can wear you down
until you’re dead. [Meng Chuan, Power of Thunder,
499th of the Rank of Genius] [Celestial. Asura. Specter. Naraka] Aren’t we going to help him? No, he can handle this. [Thunder Destroying Sword] Thunder Destroying Sword! [Asura. Specter] Five strikes, each costing a life. Only one life remains now. Your Highness, it seems Chu Yong is going all out. How surprising that Meng Chuan pushed him this far. Such terrifying speed, Meng Chuan. Why not serve me as a servant? I might spare your life. Or perhaps I should have
another go at you, forcing you to open
your Foundation Posture. It seems that red-haired guy has revealed
quite a bit of my information. Did he mention no one has ever seen
my Six-Life Foundation Posture? Because anyone who has is dead. These are the lost souls
who fell by your hand. Exactly. My foundational power absorbs six of them each time, making each one a proxy for my death. Foundation Technique. Mirror of Sin! We cultivating to become Saints was meant to protect you. But now, you’ve died by the hands
of your own people. This strike is for you. Fourth Move. Silver Candlelight, Autumn’s Glow. [Asura] Is it finally coming? Meng Chuan, you’ve pushed me to this point. You should be proud of yourself. After you die and enter the Underworld, make sure the souls there know it was King Yama who ended your life. King Yama, huh? Seems intimidating. I’ve never even seen his posture myself. Can Meng Chuan really stand up to this? Meng Chuan, stop holding back. Show me your Foundation Posture. Let me see what you’ve got. What, still trying to pressure yourself? After mustering all my strength, you’d better let me savor the fight. As you wish. Here it comes. Foundation Posture. Thunder Daoization! [Thunder Daoization] Chuan is finally going all out. They’re playing their final hands. Let’s see… Let’s see who survives. This show is finally reaching its peak. This is a sign of impending doom. Who are you reading the fortune for? He’s been using fierce qi to refine
his body for the past few months and also cleansing his muscles and bones
with the Method of Seated Meditation. Even his Foundation Posture has evolved. It feels great. Finally, I can really let loose. These past few months have nearly suffocated me. Meng Chuan, I thought your Foundation Posture
was something special, but it turns out
you’re just relying on speed. Under my Six-Life Foundation Posture, none of your attacks would work. It’s over now, Meng Chuan. I’ll make sure there’s no way out for you. Foundation Technique. Skybound Prison! Seems there’s no escape. Let me show you a new moon. Moon Shake, Sky Mirror. [Secret technique, Moon Shake] Soulstrike Secret Technique? How did you learn that? Now we can finally have
a proper conversation, Mr. Chu. Before I even arrived in Yuanchu City, you started targeting me. Under the pretense of body refinement,
you’ve turned me against other geniuses, obstructed my registration, and manipulated the top ten
to surround and kill me. This trial has now turned into a complete mess. Our paths should have never crossed, so why are you doing this? Don’t you know? Xiao Jinyu has never told
you about that, has he? Meng Chuan, you’re just a pawn. So your triumph last time was nothing but sheer luck. A pawn, huh? Meng Chuan, hand over… your life! How could this be? Is it the power of this illusion? Under the Sky Mirror, you’re just a reflection of me. I can’t move. If I don’t move, you won’t either. Now, lay it all out. Wasn’t the trial supposed to select a Saint? Meng Chuan, how naive you are. Only the lowly ones like you believe the trial
is about becoming a Saint. I, Chu Yong, the heir of the Chu family, was born to be a Saint. Yuanchu Mountain
doesn’t care about the trial. What they care about
is the game behind it, the Cangyuan inheritance hidden within. So that’s how it is. Call me “father,” and I might leave you
a piece of the inheritance. What do you even know, a mere commoner? Once I’m done with you, I’ll take my share. You’ll just be left
picking up the scraps. Stop pretending. [Seal] Meng Chuan, why choose Soulstrike Secret Technique as your trump card? As the heir of the Chu family, on the day I was born, I had the Soul-Guarding Sword Seal
carved by the King of Saint. Meng Chuan, you’re just some nobody
from the backwoods. So what if you get the inheritance? I, on the other hand,
was born with a royal flush. How can you ever win? Die! If that’s your trump card, then what does that make mine? A primordial spirit? How… How do you have one? That’s right. I was born with a primordial spirit. You can’t kill, right? I’m just a primordial spirit. You do the killing. What if someone deliberately tries
to crack an egg against a stone? The egg will break. Meng Chuan, you can’t kill me. If you do, you’ll be making enemies
of all prestigious families. That sounds pretty thrilling. My Lord, I won again in the second round. So, which inheritance will it be this time? Meng Chuan truly is impressive. Meng Chuan is no simple character. The heir of the second greatest family
of the Zhou Dynasty was both defeated and killed by him. I would call him the strongest of this group of geniuses. Can we go now, Qiyue? Looks like I need to pick a new prince consort. Let’s go down. Is that it? So boring. Zhuang Sheng, it really is as you said. [Episode 40]
[What Does It Matter?] What about you? Can I rely on you? Absolutely. But there’s something even more crucial I need to share with you. The truth behind this trial. Behind it all is a game of strategy. Win the game, and the Cangyuan inheritance will be yours. The game uses Yuanchu City as the board, with the contestants as the pieces. The game unfolds in three stages: the opening, the middle game, and the endgame. Whoever wins this match will claim the hidden inheritance. So Xiao Jinyu is using me as a pawn to fight for the Cangyuan inheritance. Indeed. Didn’t you say only the winner
can claim the inheritance? And now… I’ve told you I stole it. How did you do that? The entire Yuanchu City
is the game board, and the inheritance is hidden within it. Just because others
can’t see or touch it doesn’t mean I can’t. It’s all for the Cangyuan inheritance. So what does this trial really mean? What significance do these geniuses, who traveled from afar
to take part in the trial, really hold? This game is getting interesting. When you’re out, let’s grab a drink. You have my word. [13] [12] [12] [9] See you next time. Stop showing off, Mr. Chuan. Let’s head out. You are alive. Don’t get worked up. Chu Yong is dead. We’re no longer opponents. Nice hiding. Take a good look at my face. I’m the master of acting. [1] [0] What’s your next move? I need to get to the bottom of this. Master, Chu Yong and his gang
have been completely defeated. It doesn’t matter. At least Mr. Chu’s death was not in vain. Meng Chuan’s true identity can’t be hidden any longer. Taiyin Secret Technique? Chu Yong was killed by Shadowed Abyss’s
Taiyin Secret Technique. Qian Yu. Yes, Senior. Though we came down the mountain for the Yuanchu Mountain trial, what do you think of Shadowed Abyss? Shadowed Abyss? Like the Yuanchu Mountain, they are one
of the three cultivation sanctuaries. But back then, in the fight
for the Cangyuan inheritance, we became mortal enemies. If not for the demon race, we would have fought
to the death long ago. What if there’s a spy from Shadowed Abyss among the candidates? [Episode 41]
[The One Behind the Scenes] Let’s see
what the second inheritance is. “Man on earth. Good at birth.” The Three-Character Classic? Cangyuan’s ancestor left this
as part of his inheritance? Since it’s part
of the Cangyuan inheritance, there must be
some hidden mystery within. Just wait and see. Alright, take your time. The first two rounds
of the trial are over. Based on the candidates’ performances, the latest rankings are now announced. Let’s take a look! Who made the list? Only fifty remain. The top ten is important. Only the top ten
can enter Yuanchu Mountain. [Shangguan Feng,
tenth of the Rank of Genius] [Zuo Xiao, ninth of the Rank of Genius] [Li Shaoying,
eighth of the Rank of Genius] [Zong Sha,
seventh of the Rank of Genius] [Zhang Lie, sixth of the Rank of Genius] [Yan Feng, fifth of the Rank of Genius] [Yan Jin, fourth of the Rank of Genius] [Yan Chitong,
third of the Rank of Genius] Let’s go! [Meng Chuan,
second of the Rank of Genius] [Ji Yuantong,
top of the Rank of Genius] So these are the top ten candidates from the first stage? This ranking is really unexpected. What exactly happened during the trial? Sir, [Exclusive news! Chu Yong’s Death]
I have inside information on the trial. Just ten wen! Give me one. OK. [Chu Yong, the most talented man in the capital,] [died under Meng Chuan’s sword.] What? How could it be? Impossible! What does it say? Let me see! What does it say? Kid, give me one too. Ten liang of silver. Thank you, guys! – Here!
– Here! – I’ll take one!
– Give me one. Me too! Unbelievable.
Our imperial consort, Chu Yong, was killed by Meng Chuan. The Zhou Dynasty’s
second-ranking noble family’s heir just died like this? And Liu Qiyue, who has passed the trail and bears the Phoenix bloodline is his fiancee? Who exactly is Meng Chuan? The two words he carved
at the Sky’s Beyond might really come true. [Yibu Flower Store] Pony, Meng Chuan is probably heading
to Yuanchu Mountain to become a Saint. Do you think my gift
is too lame for him? Ye, thanks to all those gossiping nobles, I made a fortune today! Come on! Let’s go to Yunxiang Pavilion. I still need to groom Pony later. That useless mule? Can’t it wait? Come on. It’s a horse, not a useless mule! Always putting on airs. Pony, do you think they’ll look down on me? Ye, you and them are from different worlds. They are destined to become Saints, and you… You’re just… Maybe they’ve already moved away. Hi there, little one. You’re back? I’m just here to deliver flowers. Ye, I’ve been waiting for you. Meng Chuan? Keep Pony away from me. Don’t bother me painting. You’re Ye, right? I’m Liu Qiyue, Meng Chuan’s fiancee. I… I’m Ye. I… I… I… He’s a friend I made
in Yuanchu City. I’m a friend of Meng Chuan. Well then, can we eat now? I’m starving. Mr. Ning, thank you so much. Join us for a meal. No need. Take good care of these flowers. Don’t forget to water them. Oh, the owner of the flower store really loves flowers. Wow, Yunxiang Pavilion’s
finest cuisine. They’re prepared just for you. For me? Yes, for you. Come on, try it. Why are you blushing? I… I’ve never had such a good meal with so many people before. There are even better days ahead. Just enjoy it. Meng Chuan, here, it’s for you. It’s… a gift for me? It’s so cute! Let me see! Just a little something to congratulate you
on making the top ten. You’re amazing! This is the best gift
I’ve ever received. I have one for Mr. Yan, too. Me? I get one too? I didn’t know Qiyue and Aunt Shisan would be here too. I’ll carve something for you soon. Really? Thank you, Ye! Alright, let’s eat before the food gets cold. This meat… What an unexpected flavor. White-haired Yan, slow down. Don’t eat it all! They are… Kid, don’t look. Qiyue, I miss you so much. Me too. Hi, sir. As usual? No. Today, I’d like to buy
a Night-blooming Cereus. Oh? You’ll need to take good care of it. If you want it to bloom longer, it’ll take quite some effort. That’s fine. What I love is the moment it withers. [Traveling Saint’s Manor] Everyone, for the next ten days, I will guide you in Fierce Qi Star refinement and Fierce Qi cultivation. To refine the Fierce Qi Star, your mind must be as clear as a mirror with no reckless thoughts
and no agitation. Otherwise, it will only backfire
and harm you. Fierce Qi is the turbid poison
of heaven and earth, and the most domineering
and sinister power. Humans, as beings who consume
the essence of heaven and earth, are driven
by seven emotions and six desires, making them the most impure existence. Thus, humans and Fierce Qi
are naturally aligned. Through emotions,
one can attract Fierce Qi, refine it, and cultivate it. Each emotion corresponds to a Fierce Qi. The more emotions one can harness, the stronger their Fierce Qi becomes. For a thousand years, the highest recorded Fierce Qi talent has been Five-Colored Fierce Qi. Ma’am, if Fierce Qi corresponds
to seven emotions and six desires, shouldn’t the highest be 13 colors instead of five? Fierce Qi is a power meant
for Saint Phase cultivators. Perhaps you can find the answer at Yuanchu Mountain. Foul! Sorry. Haven’t played in a while. 1: 0. Not bad. 1: 1. Again! [2:2] [3:4] [5:5] [Yan Chitong: 5] [Meng Chuan: 6] Meng Chuan, this is fun. Playing with you is fun. [7:5] This time, you win. But just wait. Oh, since you beat me once, here’s a friendly reminder. Chu Yong’s death doesn’t mean this game is over. The Saints of the Chu family have already entered the city. You’d better find
the Traveling Saint Guardians and get some answers. I will. You’re quite calm, Meng Chuan. Thought you’d come earlier. I told you don’t try to scheme against me. Thanks to you, the city lord has lost two
of his three pieces. Victory is within reach now, Meng Chuan. City lord? That’s right. The one playing this game with the general is none other than
Yuanchu City’s city lord, Ge Xuan. What exactly are you planning? Meng Chuan, don’t you think having
only ten Saint spots per generation is too few? If one fails to enter the phase, is there really no other path out? Other paths? You mean the Road of Body Refinement? Exactly. But right now, it has a major flaw. It can only reach the Great Sun Phase, far inferior to the regular method. But if we win the Cangyuan chess match and obtain a Saint’s remains, the general can perfect the flaws
as a Body Refinement Saint. Then, a brand-new cultivation path will be born. And you, Meng Chuan, will be the first to master both methods. [Traveling Saint’s Manor] Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan? What are you thinking about? Nothing. Thanks for coming to pick me up, Ye. No biggie. Let’s go home together. Be careful from now on, Meng Chuan. The Lord has been cornered. Who knows what desperate tricks he’ll pull next? Meng Chuan, you and Qiyue grew up together, right? Yeah, we’ve been childhood friends. Childhood friends? I have one too! Pony is my childhood friend. Why are you laughing? Don’t Pony and I count
as childhood friends? Yes, of course. Where did the moon go? What’s that? Lord Qingyu, the extra round is ready. The test is, to capture the spy of Shadowed Abyss. City Lord Ge Xuan, huh? So it was you
who orchestrated the assassination outside the city. Chuan. Ye. Looks like they’re
really trapped inside. The city’s protective barrier
was originally meant to buy time for the Yuanchu Mountain Saint’s descent
during a crisis in Yuanchu City. Now, it’s being used to kill Meng Chuan. The city lord is really
pulling out all the stops to get rid of Meng Chuan. General, there are at least dozens of civilians trapped inside the barrier,
besides Meng Chuan. Has he lost his mind? He’s dragging innocent people into this. Looks like our city lord has no intention of playing fair anymore. Foundation Technique. Shadow Binding Formation. Ye. None of us can move. Mr. Chuan, be careful. Don’t hurt the innocent. Did you see that black wooden sculpture? It was carved from a piece
of thunder-struck wood. It had scorched the earth around it when I found it. Darn it. Luckily, I didn’t use my full strength. They’re trying to use the crowd to slow me down. Not just that, your Power of Thunder
will hurt the innocents once it’s unleashed. He’s planned it carefully. What if he disregarded
the civilians’ lives? Or he’s willing to sacrifice a few people to get the chance of killing us. That’s not what Meng Chuan would do. Mr. Chuan is a good guy. The city lord was right. Meng Chuan, you are really a good guy. This won’t work. I need to break that dwarf’s
Foundation Technique. Let them go! Oops. You think my Power of Shadow is just for restriction? You’ve underestimated me, Mr. Chuan. It looks like they’ve made thorough preparations to kill us. Simply limiting my Power of Thunder
won’t be enough. I still have Death Kasaya. They couldn’t have missed that. Clearly, they have more tricks up their sleeves. What will it be? It’s that guy who froze Meng Chuan. Pony? You… How did the brat break free? You asked for it! I can move. – Run!
– Run! Meng Chuan, run! Meng Chuan. Chuan, what’s wrong? Why didn’t I dodge? I couldn’t muster the strength
to fight back even while getting beaten. Where’s that Death Kasaya? We’re powerless against it. Yan Kuan also relied
on a more advanced Death Kasaya to beat him half to death. The Road of Body Refinement
may be simple in ability, but its offense and defense are extreme. Even if we let him stand still, it would take us a whole day to break through. The essence of Fierce Qi
relies on emotions. If a person’s emotions are calm, the Fierce Qi will stagnate. The Worry-Free Poison
isn’t a deadly poison, but it does calm the mind
and relieve worry. Once his mind is at peace, he’ll undo the Death Kasaya himself. – It’s gone.
– It’s gone. Then, with Soul Snatching Hook, I can snatch his soul and sever his body. Even a Saint would die without a doubt with no chance of survival. Why? Why can his body still move
when his soul has left it? Butterflies. Monster. This guy’s a monster. Meng Baibai. I’m not Meng Baibai. I’m Zhuang Sheng. As a primordial spirit, can you control my body? If your consciousness falls asleep or leaves your body, I can take over. As your primordial spirit, this technique is within my reach. Moon Shake. Dream of Butterflies Flying. Butterflies flying? That’s hilarious. Didn’t they say the barrier
only lasts for a short while? Why hasn’t the time passed yet? It’s time. Time’s up. Are you alright? I’m good. It’s over. No, not yet. General Xiao, the city lord asked me to inform you that the game will continue. At this time? Besides, there’s also something else. I hope you all witness this. Where’s Ye? I’m here. How’s your shoulder, Ye? It’s really nothing. Just a small injury. Nothing to worry about. Got it. Thanks. You really scared me earlier. Taking hits without fighting back, like you were possessed. They’ve made quite a few preparations to kill me. Taiyin Secret Technique? You actually can use that? Meng Chuan, you’re a spy for the Shadowed Abyss! Shadowed Abyss? What are you talking about? Qiyue, this isn’t slander. Everyone here can confirm that these people were killed
by Meng Chuan. Good for you, Ge Xuan. So this is your true scheme. Sorry, Meng Chuan. By order of the city lord, we’re here to capture the spy
from the Shadowed Abyss. He’s not. Whether he is or not, he must die. [Saint’s Dharma Lakshana: Asura King] – Get back!
– Get back! Cannon. Minister. This brat has someone to back him up. But you won’t escape, Meng Chuan. Chuan? Meng Chuan. He is gone. All Traveling Saint Guardians,
listen up! From this moment on, the entire city is under martial law. Seal the city gates. Launch a full-scale hunt
for the spy of Shadowed Abyss, Meng Chuan! [Wanted] Zhang, lead the team. Gather all the candidates
who’ve had contact with Meng Chuan. I want to interrogate each of them. Anyone who resists will be treated as a spy. [Episode 42]
[Farewell] What’s this about? General, please don’t be upset. We need to play another extra round. Extra round? Take it easy. I was probably unlucky
in the last two rounds. In this round, I’ll use the white pieces. General, you don’t mind, right? Seriously? Xiao Jinyu, you cannot say no. General, if you win this extra round, I’ll tell you a secret about Meng Chuan. Okay. Just don’t regret it. [Extra round of Yuanchu Mountain Trial] I’m just here to deliver flowers. No need. Take good care of these flowers. Don’t forget to water them. Oh, the owner of the flower store really loves flowers. Mr. Ning? What are you doing? I’m Ning Yibu, a gardener. Greetings, Your Highness. What? Are you calling me? Your Highness, relax. You’ll understand soon. [Shadowed Abyss] Shadowed Abyss, farewell. Mother. Meng Chuan’s Secret? What secrets does Meng Chuan have that I don’t know? General, if you win, you’ll know. My Lord, you’ve won so many times
in the past sessions. What inheritances have you gained? Why not show me them? General, why bother asking? I’ve been the City Lord for decades and won each of the nine rounds. I even obtained nine inheritances
from the Grandmaster. Do you know why? Because I handed over all of them. You think you’re playing games with me? No, you’re playing against Yuanchu Mountain. Do you still think you can win? [Episode 42]
[Be Smart] Found anything? Ning Yibu, [Ning Yibu]
born in Yanyun Prefecture, came to Yuanchu City two years ago. Now he owns a flower store
on Yulan Street. What about the geniuses? Who can participate in the arrest? Shangguan Feng came from Longyun County. With his Foundation,
the Power of Thousand-Faces, he ranked tenth on the list. He once followed Chu Yong, holding a hostile relationship
with Meng Chuan. In the first round of trials, he died at the hands of Yan Feng, but later he appeared unscathed. I guess he hid his strength before. [Shangguan Feng] Zuo Xiao [Zuo Xiao]
is from Jiangzhou, and ranks ninth among the geniuses. He’s known as “Reckless Tiger”. Save your breath. I’m not fighting Meng Chuan. He is dissolute with an irascible temper. He never bow down to anyone, but thinks highly of Meng Chuan. Li Jingling and Jin Huan came here with him. They’re from the same hometown. Where is Meng Chuan? Where is Meng Chuan? A stick of incense for the immortal. Two sticks of incense for blessing. Three sticks of sticks for harmony. Don’t burn the incense indiscriminately. Don’t invoke the immortal unthinkingly. Which immortal you’re inviting? What are you invoking for? Come on. Can’t you stop it? Honorable Jiangzhou’s Master Wang, Master Zhang, Master Yao, Master’s disciples Fugui, Fuwang, and Fumanduo, please expel
the disasters and misfortune. You evil, let me go! A lecher. Two charlatans. Can we get someone reliable? [Li’s Mansion] [Zong Sha. Li Shaoying] Good. Meng Chuan can’t escape from me. Any news of the Yan family? The Yan family… Get… lost! They firmly rejected us. But Yan Feng and Zhang Lie are willing to participate in the arrest of Meng Chuan. [Yan Feng]
Plus Liu Qiyue and Yan Jin, [Zhang Lie] [Liu Qiyue Yan Jin]
the top ten are almost on board. Great. Most of them will accept our offer. But we still have a big problem. What’s that? Chu family’s saint has now arrived in the city. He must be here to revenge on Meng Chuan for Chu Yong’s death. [Saint’s Dharma Lakshana: Asura King] Qian Yu? What brings you, an examiner, here? The arrest has been trusted
to the Traveling Saint Guardians, right? Plans have changed. Lord Qingyu has new orders. You are all in the top ten
of this trial, so I hope you understand. Shadowed Abyss
is Yuanchu Mountain’s sworn enemy. Therefore, we intend to add
an extra round for you all. [Wanted: Meng Chuan and Ning Yibu]
If you can kill these two spies, you’ll be able to be directly admitted
by Yuanchu Mountain. Kill? Spies? Two? Qingyu. My Lord, your mother was the Saintess of Taiyin Holy Hall
of Shadowed Abyss. You, of course, are the Holy Child. Stop playing these tricks with me. You think I’ll believe that? The Saintess hadn’t been found since she left 18 years ago. The top fighters
of the Holy Hall all came out [Shadowed Abyss]
to search for her. [Dongning Prefecture]
However, She had left the Shadowed Abyss and gone to the territory of Zhou. Till then we realized that she… had run away from home. This was quite like
what my mother would do. And then? We don’t know what happened later either. [Linjiang Village] We sent people into the Zhou
to search for her, but we found nothing. Until 11 years ago when her Soul Light went out, we knew she had been hiding in a small fishing village in Zhou, and she even had been a wife with a son. Darling. Mother, be gentle. So, you’re here for my mother? No. Before I came to the Zhou, I had already received news
of her death. I came here for the Cangyuan inheritance. You should know this. A thousand years ago, there was only one sacred place
for cultivation in this world. That was the Cangyuan Sect founded by Cangyuan’s Grandmaster. It was he who opened
the Road of Becoming a Saint and led people to cultivate. But after his strange disappearance, the Cangyuan Sect was torn apart
by internal strife. The cause was the fight
for the inheritance left by him. The disciples of Cangyuan Sect respectively created their own sect with the inheritance they got. And the ever-most powerful sect fell apart. From then on, the Cangyuan Realm was filled
with sects and endless fights to take over the other’s inheritance. In the end, only the three major sacred places
remain: Yuanchu Mountain, Shadowed Abyss, and Liangjie Island. Yuanchu Mountain claims
to be the true successor of Cangyuan, ranking first among the three lands. This is because they possess
the largest inheritance of all: the Cangyuan Game. So that’s how the game came to be. It’s said that the Grandmaster placed most of his inheritance in the Cangyuan Game. Anyone who becomes the player and wins can get the inheritance inside it. Why did he do that? Maybe he did it to incite conflict. Did he anticipate that in the end, his sect was ruined because of it? But… if Cangyuan Sect had survived, would so many legendary figures have emerged in human history? So, your goal is the inheritance
of the Cangyuan Game? No. I’m here for
a lost Cangyuan inheritance. A player once won the game but didn’t get the inheritance. People found it later that he had hidden it in a secret way. When Shadowed Abyss got the information, they sent the Flower Seed
to infiltrate the Zhou. The reason we exist [Shadowed Abyss]
is leaving our hometown, growing strong in a foreign country, and ultimately bringing flowers to Shadowed Abyss. At the age of nine, I left my homeland and set foot on this land. And now, ten years have passed. [Yuanchu City] During these years, I’ve been discreet and lived in seclusion. [Shop for Rent] I’ve read many books about Zhou and learned its dialects. I never stayed in one place
for too long for fear of exposing myself. Finally, I managed to enter Yuanchu City to search for the inheritance. I spent countless days and nights, scouring every inch of the city. Finally, I confirmed the hiding spot. I will surely bring the inheritance back to Shadowed Abyss. Yuanchu City is right
under Yuanchu Mountain. How could the hidden inheritance
not be found? Be smart. No. Only the holy master knows about the hidden inheritance. Yuanchu Mountain doesn’t know it. Since you were here
to find the inheritance, why did you save me? I never intended to tell you the truth, but Yuanchu Mountain already knew your identity. Given the hatred
between Yuanchu Mountain and us, you’re not safe here. So I found… You are the Shadowed Abyss’ Holy Child. Why get yourself persecuted
by Yuanchu Mountain? Once we find the inheritance, we’ll go back
to Shadowed Abyss together, My Lord. Does he really want to save me or… harm me? Going to the Shadowed Abyss doesn’t sound too bad. If it was really that good, my mother wouldn’t have left. Heard what he said? Are you sure the inheritance is still here in Yanchu City? Holly Master is resourceful. I believe that his information is absolutely reliable. I have confirmed
the location of the inheritance. It’s beneath the earth, right at the end of Yulan Street. [Traveling Saint’s Manor] So one spy, one spot? Watch your mouth, or shut up. I haven’t settled the score
for the trial yet. Come on, beauties. – Get lost.
– Get lost. Alright. In this round, the most important thing is
to catch them as soon as possible. We have undeniable evidence of Ning Yibu being a spy from the Shadowed Abyss. We’ve got evidence of Meng Chuan too. You exposed it yourself. We indeed got Meng Chuan proved. But Yuanchu Mountain
always values genius. If Meng Chuan can turn back
from the wrong path, Yuanchu Mountain will forgive him. How exactly? Kill that spy by himself. What if he refuses? Two spies. Two plots. I still can’t believe it, Zhuang Sheng. You mean the inheritance he said? No, I mean everything. I can’t believe that my mother was from the Shadowed Abyss. [Shadowed Abyss] Do you think my father knows that? Did he know that my mother was a Saintess from the Shadowed Abyss? Since my mother was a saintess, she must be of high rank. Then why did she leave here? How many secrets did my mother have? Tell me about the Shadowed Abyss. Do you know
why we’re called the Flower Seed, My Lord? [Shadowed Abyss]
Because Shadowed Abyss has no flowers, but endless deserts. On the desert is a forest of poplars. The meaning of us is to bring flowers to the Shadowed Abyss. No wonder my mother ran away. Your mother… Her lordship… What kind of person was she? My mother? She was childish. She loved to tease me and always ate her words. She even couldn’t cook. I’ve never seen
such an incompetent mother. No. She was the best person in the world. You… This way, My Lord. The secret passage to Yulan Street is two streets away. We have to go above ground from here. Be careful, My Lord! White-haired Yan. Red eyebrows. What’s going on now? Chuan, Yuanchu Mountain
won’t let you off easily this time. I can see that. Even you are sent here to kill me. Tell me something useful. They want to force you to pick a side. Chuan. You’ve put on a good show. White-haired Yan, say it clearly. If I don’t, the others will chop you up. The examiner said if get back on the right track… Get back? Right track? They want me to kill Ning Yibu to clear my own suspicion? You’re right. Only by killing him can you prove that you’ll never stand
with Shadowed Abyss. What if I don’t? You don’t? Then we’ll thank you for it, Meng Chuan. You’ll become the most sought-after delicacy. Only you guys came? Where are Ji Yuantong and Yan Chitong? The two strongest didn’t come. Why? Do you look down on me? Don’t rush into action. The examiner said Chuan still has a chance. Alright. But I can take him down first, right? Pawn. Chess? Funny foundational power. I guess if I don’t kill him, they will kill me. And I will be greatly awarded. You’re right. Yuanchu Mountain promised that anyone who could kill the spy would be directly admitted
by Yuanchu Mountain. Yuanchu Mountain
has quite the generosity. Meng, it’s just killing a spy. Spy? Did he do something evil? Did he kill anyone? He… The Traveling Saint Guardians
interrogated his neighbors. They said Mr. Ning is just aloof but hasn’t hurt anyone. Meng Chuan, although that, he’s from the Shadowed Abyss. His position is different from ours. Position? Meng, hesitation isn’t your style. If you can’t do it, I’ll do it for you. My Lord. You all are so considerate, aren’t you? Have you made up your mind, Meng Chuan? Meng, make your decision. Yan. Moon Shake… Taiyin Secret Technique. Don’t look at him! As early as the beginning of this trial, I’ve been wondering… Bishop. what Yuanchu Mountain’s position is. Things have changed. Your Highness? He never sizes up the situation. This trial is getting more and more interesting. Aren’t we going after them? The Traveling Saint Guardians told us
to secretly protect Meng Chuan. Madam, what do you say? Let’s forget it, shall we? If we go after them… It won’t end well. [Worst] Yuanchu Mountain is trying to force you
to sever ties with Shadowed Abyss, and force you to pick a side. What are you going to do? Wait and see. Now I’m more curious about what other tricks
Yuanchu Mountain has up its sleeve. Be careful, My Lord. I’ll deal with Meng Chuan. Your Highness. Bishop. This man can easily handle with Yan Feng who ranks third. Do not underestimate him. Meng Chuan, if you pledge allegiance to my family, I can save your life. As long as you become my new fiance, the loyal family will do everything
to protect you. I killed your fiance, and now you want me to replace him? Doesn’t that prove
you’re better than him? What do you think you are? If I’m not to your liking, I can introduce my sisters to you. Looks like not only
Yuanchu Mountain is off, but even the Zhou Dynasty
is going astray. What do you mean by that? Foundation Technique, Inferno of Icy Thorns. Li Shaoying, who do you think you are? Your Highness! Meng Chuan, get your hands off her! Liu Qiyue. Have you held enough? I didn’t hold her. I was just supporting her a bit. What are you planning to do? I want to wait and see. Are you sure? You mean Yuanchu Mountain? I’d like to learn more about it first. You know it, Chuan. I’ll always support you. Wherever you are, I’ll be there. I know. My Lord. She’s on our side. Let’s go. Chuan. I was right. Meng Chuan is not that easy to control. Lord Qingyu didn’t believe me. But he must realize
that being too upright might get him into trouble. Otherwise… Otherwise, he’ll end up the same as you to be a dog of Yuanchu Mountain. Come on. You always pretend to know nothing. I’m a dog. Aren’t you a dog too? I’m a loyal dog crawling
at my master’s feet. You, on the other hand, are a wild dog on a chain. A dog can survive and live well. The stronger and better you are, the greater chance you’ll have
to be Yuanchu Mountain’s dog. You want to be a man? Then you can’t even be a piece. Zhang Lie. I want you to follow Meng Chuan. No matter what, keep him alive. If he can’t do that, then find a chance to kill Ning Yibu for him. General has once helped me. I will fulfill my promise. [Yulan Street] My Lord, go through the fortress and we’ll be there soon. Ning Yibu. Yes, My Lord. Weren’t you afraid I’d kill you just now? No. Why? You didn’t know me before, but you invited me to dinner. So I thought you were a gentle person. Me? Gentle? It’s the first time
someone has said that to me. Others all thought I was sharp-tongued. Were you afraid
of failing in your mission? If it wasn’t for saving me, you wouldn’t have exposed yourself. You may not know this. I’ve actually seen you several times. [Yibu Flower Store]
I couldn’t stop thinking that Holy Master would be happy to see you. But considering my mission of bringing back
the Cangyuan inheritance, I pushed that thought away. But I didn’t expect your identity to be exposed in public. I was worried about your safety, so… It seems I caused you trouble. Of course not, My Lord. Sorry, I didn’t look at the road. Don’t get so worked up. The Cangyuan inheritance is important, but not as important as you are. You’re the Holy Child. So you mean as long as I’m here, it’s fine even if you fail
to find the inheritance? I… [Back shortly, please wait]
That’s not what I meant. Take it easy. The inheritance is definitely there. The entrance to the ruins
should be here. The intel was right. My Lord. The inheritance is definitely in there. Meng Chuan! Run! Zhang Lie? A Saint at the Great Sun Phase. Meng Chuan, do you like the excellent warm-up? Ning Yibu, you go first. But… Are you okay…? Zhang Lie’s life or death
remains uncertain. I can’t leave him alone. Don’t worry. I can handle it. So this is the Great Sun Phase. Now you can’t beat him yet. Then I’ll take this advantage to see the gap. The big bully the small. The Chu family is really shameless. Looks like there’s been a misunderstanding
between us, Meng Chuan. You think I’m here to kill you? Didn’t you? Whether it is his strength, talent, or willpower, he’s absolutely extraordinary
among the geniuses in this session. He’s truly an excellent substitute
for Yong. Fourth Move. Even the Death Kasaya can’t stop him. Meng Chuan, I am here to make you my son. From now on, you’ll be surnamed Chu, and you’ll be the young master
of the 2nd largest Saint family of Zhou. What a strange habit! You enjoy recognizing others as your son. Is that because you can’t have your own? You have a death wish. Moon Shake, Sky Mirror. I like you being indomitable. In this, you’re much better than Yong. But today, I’m going to teach you what self-awareness means. No matter what the secret techniques are, under the absolute suppression
of the power they’ll be broken. Anyone with a brain should know how to choose, right? Come on. Call me father. Who do you think you’re talking to? Seventh Stage of Body Refinement can’t enable you to resist his attacks. Not to mention that he hasn’t even changed
into the Saint Form. If the Seventh Stage is not enough, then the Eighth Stage, the Ninth Stage. [Abandon the physical form.]
Use a Saint to activate Body Refinement. [To leave behind form and knowledge.]
You’re really bold! [To merge with the great unity] Come again. Again! Use more force. Are all Saints so lame as you? You’re just scratching me. No wonder you can’t have a son. You haven’t eaten? Very well. Very well, Meng Chuan! You remain calm in danger and even try to provoke me
to help you with Body Refinement. I’ll definitely adopt you as my son. I’ll definitely beat you until you admit defeat. [Saint Form, Asura Combat Body] Abandon the physical form. It means to discard cleverness, to leave behind form and knowledge, and to merge with the great unity. Seated Meditation. Seated Meditation! Saint Technique, Sumeru Dharma Body. Oops, I should haven’t got you killed. I lost a son again. This aura… Saint is truly more impressive. Seems like having you as my father isn’t a loss. You’re still alive? You even make a breakthrough. Are the freaking body refiners
really this tough? [Body Refinement, Eighth Stage] Soon, I’ll send you off. [Episode 44]
[I’ll Send You Off] The inheritance… The inheritance… Why isn’t the inheritance here? Inheritance? What nonsense are you talking about? Who are you? Why did you lie to him, Ning Yibu? Inheritance. Where is the inheritance? Why is it not here? Why is there someone inside? Why did you lie to him? Who are you? In the three holy halls
of the Shadowed Abyss, only Taiyin Holy Hall
requires its saintess to remain chaste so as to inherit the position
of Hall Master. Your saintess has lost her chastity moreover, she secretly had a child. If Meng Chuan goes back with you, he will only end up dying. But I didn’t see any of your intention to harm him, why? Could it be possible
that the Taiyin Holy Hall has changed its ways? You… have always been monitoring us? You really believe Yuanchu Mountain wouldn’t notice
such an obvious spy like you? So, you knew who I was all along, then why did you let me in? Because if it wasn’t for you, Meng Chuan wouldn’t have been
in such a dilemma. You want to deal
with His Lordship through me? Pawns! If you hadn’t intervened to save him, Meng Chuan would have been interrogated instead of being hunted down. Your presence confirmed his identity as a spy. If Meng Chuan dies here today, you’ll only have yourself to blame. If Meng Chuan wants to live, he must kill you. How about I beat you to a pulp, then let your lord finish you off, so we can all happily end this trial? It’s my fault. [Slash] Still hiding? Are you afraid to die? I thought you were willing to die for your lord. Knight! A paper tiger, huh? Darn Chess player. Ghosts on the road
to the Yellow Springs, stop for a moment
and heed my command. Paper Talisman Order! [Chu Yong] [Wang Buyu] [Duanlong] [Siqi] [Zhou Chuyou] [Dong Fang] Pawns! [Chu Yong] [Bishop] You dare use the same move again? Attendants. My Lord. I will find the inheritance and go back to Shadowed Abyss with My Lord. The inheritance? Idiot. You really think Yuanchu Mountain would overlook the inheritance under their noses? What a daydream! That spy managed to find
the abandoned Cangyuan inheritance. Was it your trick too, My Lord? Since he was so convinced
that Cangyuan’s inheritance still lay within Yuanchu City, why not do him a favor? You’re so kind and charitable, aren’t you? As the lord of Yuanchu City, I should care for my people
as if they were my own family. This relic is designed to lure you in. No. The inheritance must be here. The Holy Master’s intel can’t be wrong. [General] I can’t move. Oh no. [Dong Fang] Foundation Technique. Invincible Rooks! I didn’t harm My Lord. I didn’t. How is that possible? Why is there a divine weapon here? Why is it different
from what the city lord said? My Lord. when I returned to the capital
last year to report, His Majesty gifted me something. Finally, I can bring flowers back and go home with My Lord. Body refiners are so bizarre. The more one gets hit,
the stronger they become. Meng Chuan, do you really think I won’t kill you? Get your hands off him! The aura of a Saint. A divine weapon? There really is an inheritance. The divine weapons
of the Cangyuan Grandmaster should all be in Yuanchu Mountain. Why is it here? Great. I didn’t think I’d get anything
on this trip. My Lord. I will make those who hurt you pay. Joining with others to beat your father, you ungrateful son! Do you really think that you can stand up to a Saint
by relying on divine weapons? Let it go. It’s hungry. What the heck? It’s eating me. What kind of evil blade is this? Thunder Technique! Ning Yibu. The blade is manipulating me. Don’t panic. I’ll help you get it off. Knock out the blade. Let’s see if he can get out
of its control. Thunder… Goodness! Are you okay, Ning Yibu? My Lord. My Lord. Chuan, that blade just kept eating him up. He doesn’t have long to live. Let go of it, or it’ll eat you too. No. I won’t! I’m going to save him. Then let it in. Let’s bring it under control. This three-character classic
is called the Sacred Heart Technique. It’s the most effective way
to control evil spirits. It should be able
to suppress this evil blade. My Lord, kill me! No. Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal. I can handle it. Get out of the way. It’s my fault. If I hadn’t taken the liberty
of saving you, you wouldn’t have been hunted. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have seen my mother
when she was young. That’s why I’m saving you. My Lord, you are truly deserving
of being her son. Both of you possess such gentle spirits. I’m sorry, My Lord. I’ll forget about the inheritance
and Holy Child. Are you ready, Zhuang Sheng? No. A spirit is within. It’s a mystic-grade weapon. Ning Yibu. What… What are you going to do? I’m a bad guy. I deserve to get killed by your sword. My Lord. The flowers are blooming. ♪What scenes of beauty,

of Meng Chuan is complete, you’ll be rewarded. Yuanchu Mountain has always been fair. Meng Chuan, since you killed the spy, you may enter Yuanchu Mountain without attending the third trial. Did Yuanchu Mountain know about this trial you arranged? What are you trying to say? I used to think that a Saint like Li Huainan,
who schemes and wields absolute power, was just an exception. Now looking at you and this trial, I see that Yuanchu Mountain is full of this sort of trash. Are you questioning us? Listen, Meng Chuan. If we call it a demon, then a demon it is. If we call it evil, then evil it shall be. When we command you to kill, you obey without question. Bottle up your anger. Rein in your pride. To become a Saint, you must obey us. You thought you could resist this? Meng Chuan, I know you have objections
to this trial. You think we disregard lives. But this is all to fight the demon race. I’ll send you to enter the mountain now. Then you’ll understand the reason. Huh? Entering the mountain my foot! Meng Chuan! Do you realize what you’re doing? Once you step out of this door, you can forget about ever setting foot
on Yuanchu Mountain again. I will walk my own path. The spy is dead. Meng Chuan’s suspicions are cleared. General Xiao, you’ve won this round. I can’t believe this. It’s actually a divine weapon. General, you truly are
a master strategist. Even the Zhou royalty stands behind you. His Majesty even gave you
an ancestral divine weapon just to ensure your victory. Cut it out. What is the secret you’re talking about? General Xiao, have you heard of the Fiend? Is this all the money? You parentless brats. You only get to scrape by
in Yuanchu City because of my mercy. And you don’t show some gratitude after making money. You rascal! You’ve got more, don’t you? That’s not it. Give it back! I said, give it back now! A stupid wood? Where’s the money? Where is it? Little brat! Where did you hide the money? You beast! Pony! Let go! I said, let go! Beat him up! You brats, how dare you! [Foundation Building Phase,
Initial Stage] You rascals! Who the heck did this? How dare you actually try to kill these kids! Sir. Sir, please spare me. Have mercy, please! Fierce Body cultivation involves
harnessing emotions and desires. But between them lies a gap, which is actually a path to the Fiend Lord hidden by Cangyuan Grandmaster. Meng Chuan! Don’t cause yourself trouble. Listen, you can take that money. But that’ll be our ransom. Do not come after us again. Or, as you’ve seen, my friend can kill you
without breaking a sweat. Ye, from now on, I’ll listen to you. I’ll do whatever you say. Get lost. That is my money! Shitou, this is medicine for injuries. There, there, Pony. The medicine’s applied. The pain will soon drift away. Calling it a pony? It sounds more like a donkey. You really scared me that day. Hey, alright. Look, I’m perfectly fine now. Are you really fine? They said you were a spy. They made a mistake. Those officials are just useless. They arrest people
without even figuring things out. Tell me what happened after that. Do you remember the flower shop owner? Mr. Ning? What happened to him? He… died. When emotions and desires overflow, it’s easy to stumble into that gap. But it is narrow, often concealed by a fleeting warmth. So this is the view
Mr. Ning saw every day. It’s like a painting. Really? Did you promise him to water his flowers? But if you enter Yuanchu Mountain… Ye, what if I don’t enter the mountain? What? I said I don’t want to be a Saint anymore. But you… You came all this way just to… You worked so hard to cultivate. Yeah. All these years,
I’ve relentlessly cultivated, and endured countless hardships
to get here just to enter Yuanchu Mountain and become a Saint. But the Saints up there are nothing but trash. Even if I don’t become a Saint, I can still slay all the demons. No. You’re a Saint. You’re my Saint. That’s so cheesy, Ye. Hey, stop. Ji Yuantong? So, to make that gap clearer and deeper, we need some handy tools. Why is he here? Didn’t you know? He’s also from Yulan Street. He is a legend there. This guy mastered techniques at thirteen, and reached
the Pill Condensation Phase at fourteen, and by fifteen, he was unbeatable among his peers. They say his Foundation of Saints [Hammer Technique]
is the legendary power born of the Candle Dragon, a force that lights the day, darkens the night,
and illuminates the Nine Yin. He’s crushed the younger generation
of Yuanchu City. Without a doubt, he’s the top genius of Yuanchu City and the pride of Yulan Street. If he hadn’t disappeared for two years, the title of top genius wouldn’t have gone to that guy
from the Yan family. He disappeared for two years? Two years ago, his younger sister,
also his only companion… Since then, he has vanished. Ye, you go back. I’ll follow him and check it out. I’ll go get some food
for Shitou and the others. That’s nice of you. They’re out of money too. Push hard and stretch that gap wider. Want some extra food? I’m back, and I brought you all some food. What are you having? Meat. What are you doing? Why? Why? What is wrong with you? That’s a mule! A mule. A mule. A mule! Ye, it’s just a mule. Why are you overreacting? Yeah. Just get another one. It’s a horse! It’s Pony! Beat him up! What are you even talking about? General, your pursuit
of a new path for humanity is admirable. But you are not the only one. Why do you think Yuanchu Mountain allowed me to run wild and turn the trial into this mess? Because they favor my path
to becoming a Fiend Lord. You must have chosen Meng Chuan after reviewing the records
from Dongning Prefecture. But you don’t know there is a part that has been omitted. Meng Chuan once was a fiend. So all I need is a few tools to push and pull, and he’ll fall back into that gap. Where did Ji Yuantong go? You… Sir? Meng Chuan, is Yuanchu City fun? Who are you really? Run, Meng Chuan! It’s too late! Ye! Ye. Meng Chuan. I’m sorry. Why? Why? I added something to their food. Including the first piece. Meng Chuan, to see you become a Fiend Lord, I’ve gone through a lot of trouble. I’ll be waiting for you
at City Lord’s Mansion. [Yulan Street] You’re my Saint. Ji Yuan Tong! [Episode 46]
[Endless Words] [Headphones recommended.] [Blade potential] [Thunder Sword] [Hammer Technique] [Colossal Deity] [Foundation Technique. Eight Gates] [Shock Gate] [Death Gate] [Blade potential] [Fiend Seed] [Foundation Posture] [Corpse-Erosion Dragon] [Body Refinement, Eighth Stage] [Iron Breaker] You old geezer! Even with such a commotion, how has Meng Chuan remained uncorrupted? Patience, please. If it’s not enough, I’ll spice it up. Just wait and see. on behalf of Yuanchu Mountain. General, shall we continue? [The third round of game
is yet to come.] [City Lord’s Mansion] Meng Chuan,
where is Dongning Prefecture? It’s near the sea. Sea? What’s that? Come on, I’ll show you. Why! Why did you do that to Ye? How heartbroken he must be! He needs me. You should return to the mountain. I refuse! Qingyu, please! Thank you. [In Memory of Ye and Pony,
from Meng Chuan] [In Memory of Pony] [Yuanchu Mountain Trial,
round three: Fiend.] This is your fourth trial. Before dawn, the first twenty people
to make their Fiend Seeds bloom will advance to the final trial. So, how do we make the Seeds bloom? I suppose eating someone else’s will do. Let’s wipe them out. [Episode 47]
[Let’s Wipe Them Out] First the Fierce Qi Star,
now the Fiend Seed. Was this your plan from the start? My plan is none of your concern. Xiao Jinyu, two entirely new cultivation systems. Aren’t you curious which is stronger? My bet is still on you, General. But Meng Chuan’s choice remains to be seen. When Heaven denies, plunder its essence. When Earth withholds, seize its energy. When men refuse, take their lives. You can do that? You wretch! Xiao Jinyu, there is only one player in this game. And that’s Yuanchu Mountain. Go back and finish the game, or your road of body refinement will remain forever incomplete. Eat. Feast now. Fiend Seed. Give me your Fiend Seed. I’m the one who will become the Saint. You want it too? Are… Are you alright? Die! You leave me no choice. [Shi Hui, Zhou Yu]
Forty-eight minus two. You’d better hurry, Chuan. Someone’s about to hatch it. No matter. They’ll all be dead anyway. Mine. All of it is mine. Senior, Junior. Once I devour your Fiend Seeds, I will hatch them. The first Fiend Seed has been hatched. It’s here. I did it! The Saint’s seat is mine. Mine. Meng Chuan? My dear. I’ll kill you! Sonic Technique! Killing Net! Fiend Seed thrives on malice. Malice lives, and Fiend Seed endures! No. Don’t kill me! I must enter Yuanchu Mountain. I must become a Saint. [Lu Zhengping]
Forty-eight minus three. Did I do all this? Senior, Junior, I didn’t mean to kill you. I didn’t. Forty-eight minus four. [Episode 48]
[Shatter Them All] What’s gotten into Meng Chuan? They say he found a way to erase Fiend Seeds outright. He wields a wicked blade that devours even Fiend Seeds. The remaining ones are already
tough to handle. Now he’s meddling. [Fu Quan’an]
What is he up to? [Huang Huaqiu]
He wants to prevent everyone from entering Yuanchu Mountain. Meng Chuan, have you given up on becoming a Saint? Mr. Yan, we were friends. I don’t want a fight. Give me the Fiend Seed. Why? Just because you won’t claim it, no one else can? Is the title of the Saint even worth claiming anymore? Meng Chuan, no matter how much you despise
Yuanchu Mountain’s ways, in this world, becoming a Saint is our only way out. Who cares what the trial is? Entering the mountain
is all that matters. Spear Technique. Blood Rain. Yan Feng, is that truly what you believe? Would you really abandon everything just to become a Saint? Do commoners like us even have a choice? Foundation Posture. Equinox Bloom. Foundation Technique. Thunder Painting! Empty Lament! We do have a choice. What choice? Body refinement? Will you trust me one more time? You were nearly crushed into defection, and now you ask for my trust? You didn’t consume it. I’d never swallow that filth. I trust my instincts. When I was cornered
at the edge of a cliff, a voice told me that jumping would save my life. Now, that same voice tells me you can overturn this game. Rest easy. I’ll shatter them all. Slaughtered half my Fiend Seeds. What a blade. Even a close friend’s death couldn’t drive Meng Chuan
into becoming a fiend. Will fratricide be enough? Fiend thoughts can grow unnoticed, even by oneself. City Lord, what’s our next move? Just let him kill if he wants to. The more he kills, the deeper his rage festers, and the hungrier he grows. All we need is to get him another formidable Fiend Seed. Go. Hurry home. Your little sister is waiting. Yuanbao. I’m back. Yuantong. The stall did great today. Everyone loves the dolls you make. We’re having a feast tonight. It smells so good. I’ve prepared a feast for you too. For my sake, please finish every bite. Yuantong, don’t listen to it! Yuantong, why aren’t you eating? I’ll eat now. Chuan, you haven’t slept
for three days straight. Go rest. No. I will slay them, one by one. Fiend thoughts still cling to you. Who’s there? Show yourself. What’s wrong? Who’s there? Nothing. I’ll go that way and see if I can find Shangguan Feng. Zhuang Sheng. Come out! You… Are you Meng Chuan? Who are you? Zhuang Sheng, this kid… A primordial spirit. An innate primordial spirit. A primordial spirit? Just who are you? I’m Ji Yuanbao. Like the big gold ingot. My brother is Ji Yuantong. Like the little copper coin. You are Ji Yuantong’s dead sister. A primordial spirit. An innate primordial spirit. You are Ji Yuantong’s dead sister. That’s right. I am his dead sister. After my death, my brother was devastated. City Lord Ge Xuan took advantage of this to manipulate him. He had that young man
skilled in paper talismans create a fake me, trapping my brother in the illusion that I was still alive, deceiving him, provoking him, and controlling him, all to lure him onto the path of becoming the Fiend Lord. None of my brother’s actions were his own will. He did everything for me. And now, he wants my brother to further hatch
the Fiend Seed within him. If this continues, there will be no turning back
for my brother. So? Do you want me to spare him? No. I want… I want you to save him. I don’t want him to be deceived again. I don’t want him to become a fiend. Watch out! Show yourself. How did you detect me? Mr. Chuan, it seems you still
harbor many secrets. You took my blade on purpose? I wanted to let you vent. After all, I hate this boring trial too. [Shangguan Feng] Relax. I will save your brother for last. As expected, once a fiend, even if the Fiend Seed is erased, the fiend thoughts will regrow. This kid’s song can actually purify
the Fiend Seed’s corruption. You… All these years, this is how I’ve soothed my brother. Sir, another bowl, please. This is delicious. Take it away now. What are you standing there for? Don’t get in the way of my fun
with the girls. Mr. Chuan, don’t rush off. [Jin Huan, Zuo Xiao]
Let us help you relax. Can’t I satisfy you? Get over here. You’re just giving it to me? Aren’t you afraid of not being able to
enter Yuanchu Mountain? You’re not the only one
who despises the ways of them. But I can’t help you. My great-grandmother won’t allow me to get involved. I have faith in you, Meng Chuan. [Yan Chitong] Turn their world upside down. Your Highness. Who ordered this? I… If we just wait for the trial to end,
we’ll naturally enter Yuanchu Mountain. Why meddle in Fiend Seeds? Zong Sha. Are you alright? If you can hatch the Fiend Seed, I’ll help your princess escape her fate. [Crane Corpse Fiend] After serving you all these years, I’ve seen your consorts come and go. Your Highness, I refuse to let you
be the royal family’s pawn. That’s my business. That is my fate. Stay out of it! Your Highness, I’m doing this for you. Pigtails, your servant is really full of himself. My servant is not yours to discipline. But since he’s absorbed the Fiend Seed, I’ll have to deal with him myself. If you’re not going to act, then stand back. Arrow Technique. Yellow crane’s farewell! Meng Chuan, watch out! Zong Sha. That’s enough. Your Highness, all of this is for you. I have a reason I cannot lose. Meng Chuan. Zong Sha. This fiend’s aura is as powerful as my brother’s. For Her Highness, I must kill you! Thunder Goodness! Meng Chuan, are you alright? Never better. Think you’re special
just because you can fly? Burning Spirit, Mobilizing Figure, Twining Strings.
Primordial Spirit Techniques. Butterfly Transformation. Fiend Body to Arrow! Watch out! My arrows never miss. Eighth Stage. Release! It’s not over yet. For Her Highness! His aura has grown even stronger. Ji Yuantong also demonstrated regenerative abilities. It resembles the Demon King’s power. Is the Fiend Lord connected
to the demon race? My slashes have no effect on him. Perhaps he has adapted to your slashes. This path to becoming the Fiend Lord is truly sinister. It’s as if he evolves in battle. Destroy the Fiend Seed within him. Let’s see if he can still grow. Foundation Technique, Inferno of Icy Thorns! Zong Sha. Stop this. He’s fully fused with the Fiend Seed. The Demon Slaying Blade
will only take his life. Your Highness. Why did you let yourself get like this? Your Highness. I’m… sorry. You! I owe you a debt. Meng Chuan. [Zong Sha, Li Shaoying] [Ji Yuantong] Alright. Now it’s just your brother left. Meng Chuan, while you were busy slaying demons, Ge Xuan hasn’t been idle. Ji Yuantong has recovered from his injuries. He’s even become stronger. With your current strength
of Eighth Stage, you stand no chance against him. You need to break through
to the Ninth Stage. I don’t even need Body Refinement now. But you need to win. [Episode 49]
[You Need to Win] [Traveling Saint’s Manor] General, Meng Chuan is here. Is it interesting, Meng Chuan? After all that’s happened, this is our first meeting. Technically, the second. So you knew it was me back then. Save the chat before my victory. What do you say? Enough talk then. Ordinary people need years
of accumulated effort to break through to Body Refinement
Ninth Stage and to toughen their sinews and temper their flesh. Integrating fierce qi
into the corresponding organs takes at least four or five years of painstaking work. But we’re different. We possess Five-Color Fierce Qi. Breaking through to the Ninth Stage
with Five-Color Fierce Qi only takes a single day. Five fierce qi
correspond to five emotions. Five emotions
correspond to the five organs. Refine the fierce qi into the body. [Heart governs joy] Only then can one
shatter the nine heavens. Well? Are you happy? I see. Yes. Extremely happy. [Liver governs wrath] [Spleen governs desire] [Lungs govern sorrow] [Lungs govern sorrow] [Kidneys govern fear] Succeed. And then? Why? Your Five-Color Fierce Qi has already fused with your five organs. Why haven’t you broken through yet? Don’t tell me you… Seven colors? It’s Seven-Color Fierce Qi. Let me think about the other two colors. Five fierce qi
correspond to five organs. The method is correct. The only problem is that you have Seven-Color Fierce Qi. Find where love and hatred,
these last two fierce qi belong, and you should be able to
fully refine Fierce Qi Star [Love]
and break through to the ninth stage. [Hatred] Five fierce qi
correspond to five organs. [Liver governs wrath] [Heart governs joy] [Spleen governs desire] [Lungs govern sorrow] [Kidneys govern fear] Then what do love and hatred
correspond to? Maybe we don’t need
to overcomplicate it. The fierce qi just needs a vessel. Then why don’t you try? Fine, I’ll try. It seems to be working. Zhuang Sheng. [Primordial spirit governs love] How is it? It does work. But there’s still one left. How… How did you get in here? I let her in. Hi. I’m Zhuang Sheng. Hi. I’m Ji Yuanbao. Alright. This is your place anyway. The hatred fierce qi
also needs a vessel. I can sense its aura resembles that of a Fiend Seed. Maybe… Fiend Seed. That’s not what I want. Seven-Color Fierce Qi is unheard of. There are no records of it. How can we help him
break through to the ninth stage? He truly is the future of Body Refinement. But time is running out. The city lord isn’t idle. If Ji Yuantong breaks through first, our chances of winning this game will be slim. Xiao Jinyu, Meng Chuan. Lord Qingyu, any orders? You delay the game, and he wantonly disrupts the trial. Do you even respect me as the chief examiner? So what? Tonight at midnight, you and Ji Yuantong
will settle this in a duel. Whoever wins will be the victor in this game. You’re only showing yourself now. You’re buying time for him, aren’t you? Meng Chuan! I’m giving you one last chance. Accept the Fiend Seed, embark on the path of the Fiend Lord, and I’ll declare
your victory here and now. No need. Tonight – marks the end of this game.
– Marks the end of this trial. So he’s your friend? His soul has been corroded
by Fiend Seed. It’ll be difficult for him to wake up. There’s always a way. He’s luckier than me. Stop her from singing. What’s wrong? Almost. I almost managed to wake him up. Yuanbao, what’s wrong? I’m so sleepy. Yuanbao! Though she’s a innate primordial spirit, she doesn’t know how to cultivate. She’s been consuming her spirit essence. It’s a miracle she’s lasted this long. Then she… If she leaves our spirit realm, she’ll probably dissipate soon. Meng Chuan. Brother. Leave your brother to me. Stay here and don’t come out. Ye, you’ll be fine. All of you will be fine. [Episode 50]
[All of You Will Be Fine] General, I tried every possible way
to lure Meng Chuan into becoming a fiend. Yet even at the brink of the game’s end, I’ve failed. It seems we’ll have to finish this game and let Yuanchu Mountain see who the winner is. Is this your helper? This battle doesn’t concern you. Why interfere? I don’t like owing favors. Where’s the other one? The other one? Meng Chuan. Turns out I still trust myself more. If you lose, I’ll take over the battle. I won’t give you that chance. Then let’s fight. Fight! You kid, you want to join the fray too? The final battle should be lively, you know. Mr. Chuan. It seems they’re stalling for time. Meng Chuan! This path is closed. Your Highness, wouldn’t it be better
to just be some eye candy? Foundation Technique. Thousand Pear Blossoms! Be careful. Something’s wrong. So it’s you, you stupid wolf. Even death couldn’t free you
from becoming a puppet. Foundation Technique. Dead Sea! I’ll handle this stupid wolf. You go on ahead. We’re counting on you, White-haired Yan. Relax. I will kill it again! It’s raining. No. It is Invisible Force. This is the money for your lives. Take it and go. This one is yours. Is this the amount you want to buy both of our lives with? I even wagered
my marriage savings on you, Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan, don’t you dare lose. Rest assured. It seems the timing is just right. Ji Yuantong. You’re the last one. [Ji Yuantong]
As expected, you’re not just a fool, but a moron. Keeping a grudge ledger? What are you, eight? Can’t help it. I just hold grudges. Then bring it on! Tonight, I’ll end this trial. [Slaying the Twin Corpses]
[Corpse-Decaying Dragon Lord] The trial? What I want to end is this world! [Episode 51]
[Idiot] Like Zong Sha, he has already adapted
to your fierce qi and Thunder Techniques. Chuan, to defeat him, you must fuse the hatred fierce qi
with the Fiend Seed and break through
to Body Refinement, Ninth Stage. Fuse the hatred fierce qi
with the Fiend Seed? Humans are the filthiest beings
in the world. Three-corpses arise from the heart. [Upper Corpse: Qing Gu]
[Middle Corpse: Bai Gu] [Lower Corpse: Xue Gu] Nine-worms grow in the body. The path of Fiend Lord [Greed, Anger, Delusion]
likely involves hatching these Three Corpses or Nine Worms, ultimately becoming a fiend. Now, two of his Three-corpses
have already taken form. He is just one step away
from becoming the Fiend Lord. This is our only path to victory. Fiend Seed. Hatred fierce qi. No. Even without breaking through
to Body Refinement, Ninth Stage, I can still win! Fine. Even if you can defeat Ji Yuantong, what about Ge Xuan? And Yuanchu Mountain? How will you defeat them? Power is neither good nor evil, Chuan. It’s the wielder
who defines its nature, isn’t it? Good remains good, and evil remains evil. I will never compromise for power. Meng Chuan! No more hesitation, Chuan. If this continues, you’ll lose. General, do you know why the Fiend Lord is so powerful? Eight Gates. [Life Gate] As the ancient saying goes, “The Tao begets the One. The One begets the Two. The Two begets the Three. The Three begets the myriad creatures.” Yet the Fiend Lord defies the heavens
with the Path of Reverse Creation. All things return to me. I am the fiend. The fiend is the Tao. The Fiend Lord devours everything and makes it mine. Your Road of Body Refinement will only serve as nourishment
for the Fiend Lord. Chuan, with the Sacred Heart Technique, even if you fuse with the Fiend Seed,
it can help you retain your true self. No. I refuse! Idiot. If Meng Chuan wants to win, there’s only one path
in front of him now. Accept the Fiend Seed, embark on the path of the Fiend Lord. If Meng Chuan loses, I win. If Meng Chuan wins, I still win. The ultimate loser in this game will only be you, General. Zhuang Sheng, [Harm]
they arranged all this to lure me into becoming a fiend. If I accept the Fiend Seed just to win, then I am no different from these people. Then die. Hammer Technique! [Harm] Colossal Deity! Chuan. I’m sorry. We cannot stop here. Zhuang Sheng, what are you doing? Is… Is this Body Refinement, Ninth Stage? No. It’s not. Chuan is resisting. Is this Body Refinement, Ninth Stage? More like a half-baked attempt. Zhuang Sheng, I don’t like this decision. I know. But this is the only path. Death Gate. Even if you blame me, I have to do it. The only path? No. I’ll take my own path. Meng Chuan, how do you expect to win with a half-baked Body Refinement,
Ninth Stage? What hope do you have? Why? Isn’t becoming a fiend good? You can’t win like this! You need to become like me. I refuse to become some hideous freak! I will never allow myself
to become what I despise. I will only slay them all. Zhuang Sheng, this is my path. This hatred fierce qi
is not the evil in the heart. This is the wrath I wield
to slay all demons in the world. What is my wrath? A blade! The blade is my wrath. [Body Refinement, Ninth Stage] Idiot. Foundation Technique. Nether Illumination! Wrathful Blade Potential. Severance! Meng Chuan won. My brother can be saved. This battle really exceeded my expectations. You’ve won. Meng Chuan. It’s too early to call victory
or defeat, General. Meng Chuan defeated Ji Yuantong
with Body Refinement. Body refinement won. He was defeated, not killed. Now, if we just destroy the Fiend Seed
inside my brother, he’ll be saved. Yuantong! Yuanbao. Yuanbao. It’s dangerous here. You need to leave now. Yuantong, you promised me you’d win. It’s that impostor! Before destroying his Fiend Seed, I’ll kill this fake. Don’t touch my sister. Open your eyes
and take a look, Ji Yuantong. She’s fake! This is my sister! Yuantong. Let go. Ji Yuantong, you’re the idiot here. Yuanbao. Yuantong. You have to win. Yuanbao. Are you awake now? Why? Why do your friends get to live, while I can’t even keep a fake sister? So, you knew all along. Of course I knew. As long as Yuanbao stays with me, what does it matter if she’s fake? Why did you have to destroy her? [Episode 51]
[You Are the Idiot Here] Yuanbao wanted me to win. So I must win! This is bad! He wants to take Chuan down with him. ♪Daylight sorrows fade♪ ♪Night’s dark tide begins to rise♪ ♪She veils my face♪ This is… Yuantong! This is Yuanbao’s spirit realm. Yuan… Yuanbao? It’s me. Meng Chuan, what kind of trick are you playing? Yuantong, I am really Yuanbao. No. You’re not. Yuanbao is already… Now you can tell what’s real
and what’s not. You think by creating an illusion
of my home and a… and a… and a… I’m Ji Yuanbao, like the big gold ingot. And my brother, he’s like the little copper coin. He is Ji Yuantong. Yuanbao, did you finish your lunch? Yeah, I ate it all. What are you doing? [Baobao Siblings’ Stall]
Done! What mischief are you scheming now? Why aren’t you resting? Haven’t you been having headaches? What do you mean by “mischief”? I’ve come up with a brilliant opening for our business. I’m Ji Yuanbao, like the big gold ingot. And my brother, he’s like the little copper coin. He is Ji Yuantong. This is Baobao Siblings’ Stall! Baobao Siblings… We’re home. Come in. Chuan. Come on in. Don’t cotton up to him. My tambourine. What’s the deal with Yuanbao? Zhuang Sheng, you tell him. I don’t want to talk to this guy. And you’re… I am his primordial spirit. My name is Zhuang Sheng and your sister Yuanbao is now like me, just a primordial spirit. You three are not allowed to come in. Primordial spirit? That’s a power only a select few among even the Saints
can master. Yet some human prodigies can attain innate primordial spirits through unconventional methods. Chuan is a prodigy in the painting arts. He condensed his primordial spirit
through paintings. And Yuanbao was also a prodigy in a certain path. But it has not been a blessing for her to condense
her primordial spirit at such a young age. Has Yuanbao been in poor health since she was young? What is this? Don’t laugh. Alright, I won’t. You’re still laughing. Okay. I really won’t laugh now. Yuanbao! Yuantong. It hurts. My head hurts so much. I’ll take you to a physician. Yuanbao has had frequent headaches
since she was ten, and they’ve been getting worse. No one could find the cause. It’s even hard to alleviate the pain. It’s the primordial spirit’s pressure
on her physical body. Primordial spirit? Then is Yuanbao’s soul still lingering because of it? That’s right. But she doesn’t have much time left. Why? Because of you. Do you think you’ve stayed sane
after devouring so many Fiend Seeds by sheer will? It’s because Yuanbao has been using
her primordial spirit power to help you. She’s been with you all along. Cherish the time you have left with her. [Baobao Siblings’ Stall] Yuantong, let’s set up our stall. Yuantong, let me help with the stall. No way. But I’ve made so many preparations. I’ve been thinking about this for ages. Our dolls aren’t selling because our business is too monotonous. We should mix in some performance. With singing and dancing, we’ll attract customers for sure. We’ll make a fortune! No. What if your headaches flare up? It hurts anyway, no matter where I am. No means no. I just want to help. Come on. Everyone, come and take a look! Zhuang Sheng, let’s see what’s fun out there. Where’s the fun? There. Over there. You two are… I’m Ji Yuanbao, like the big gold ingot. Yuantong. I… I’m Ji Yuantong, like the little copper coin. This is Baobao Siblings’ Stall! ♪Hurry now, don this robe so new♪ ♪Bloom as the fairest flower in view♪ ♪Slowly tend your hair and grace♪ ♪Turn into art that outlasts time♪ ♪Take your time, don this robe so new♪ ♪Still the fairest flower in view♪ ♪Gently watch your beauty grow♪ Good! ♪Turn into art that outlasts time♪ ♪No more miles left to roam♪ ♪Wild blooms shall sing you home♪ ♪One last clasp of your hand so cold♪ ♪Now no sorrow shall you hold♪ Yuanbao, how much longer? Don’t worry. A little while yet. Is there anything else you want to do? No, this is good enough. Yuanbao. ♪Take your time, don this robe so new♪ ♪Still the fairest flower in view♪ Yuanbao. I’m sorry. What are you talking about? Hey, we’re family. ♪Turn into art that outlasts time♪ ♪No more miles left to roam♪ ♪Wild blooms shall sing you home♪ ♪One last clasp of your hand so cold♪ ♪Now no sorrow shall you hold♪ Yuanbao. Don’t leave me. I won’t. We’ll always be together. We are… Baobao Siblings. Yuanbao. Yuanbao. [Episode 52]
[Baobao Siblings] Ji Yuantong. Ji Yuantong. Wake up. Zhuang Sheng, what’s going on? Just now, Yuanbao exhausted her primordial spirit power to pull you two into her spirit realm. But Ji Yuantong remains trapped there, refusing to wake up. Ji Yuantong, get some rest. Leave the rest to me. Ji Yuantong! That idiot must have been fooled into living in a dream. He really is living in a dream. My Lord, you toyed with human hearts and ultimately lost to them. General, victory isn’t yours to declare. That’s for Yuanchu Mountain to decide. You old fool. Xiao Jinyu, this round doesn’t count. Let’s go again! What a lousy game! It’s over! You’re a hulking brute, yet you couldn’t even subdue an old guy. Quite a disgrace. That’ true and we owe this victory to you. But it seems our City Lord isn’t ready to concede defeat. Meng Chuan, Cangyuan Realm hangs by a thread. Neither the Saints nor the Body Refiners can save us now. What we need is a peerless powerhouse. Only the path of the Fiend Lord offers salvation. For the sake of Cangyuan, I implore you to become a fiend. Snatching someone right under my nose. Shameless. Stay out of this, Xiao. I’ll deal with this guy. You all, stop this! The game is over. No one is allowed to
cause any more trouble. This ends here. The victor is Xiao Jinyu. After all this chaos, you want to end it now? Meng Chuan, that’s not my call. By the Mountain Lord’s Decree. Mountain Lord’s Decree? Ge Xuan, you swore the path of the Fiend Lord
would succeed. That’s why the Mountain Lord ordered me to fully cooperate with you. Yet clearly, you’ve failed. Hand over everything
related to the Fiend Lord, along with your position
as the City Lord of Yuanchu City. Do you have any complaints? The failure is mine. I’ve disgraced Master’s trust. I harbor no grievance. Xiao Jinyu, from now on, you are the new City Lord
of Yuanchu City. The inheritance you’ve won will soon be delivered
to Traveling Saint’s Manor. Do you accept this outcome? I am grateful for Master’s benevolence. Well, then this matter… I do not accept! I don’t know what you’re thinking, nor do I know the desperate plight
of Cangyuan Realm. You Saints stand tall, seeing far and wide. You want the Fiend Lord and Body Refiners? Fine. You want us to fight, and to be your pawns? Also fine. From the moment embarked
on the path of cultivation, we were prepared to die. But why… Why must you slaughter the innocent? Then what do you want, Meng Chuan? They deserve justice. Alright. Then he dies. At noon tomorrow, his head will roll before the crowd. Are you satisfied? As for your friend Ye, I’ll heal him. Satisfied? Yan Jin, Li Shaoying, Yan Feng, and Zhang Lie. All those who have helped you may enter Yuanchu Mountain. Now, are you satisfied? Meng Chuan, I told you, once you enter the mountain, you’ll get all the answers. [Episode 53]
[Are You Satisfied?] Is it settled? [Yuanchu Mountain-Entering Rankings]
[First Place: Meng Chuan] [Second Place: Yan Jin;
Third Place: Yan Chitong] [Fourth Place: Li Shaoying;
Fifth Place: Yan Feng] [Sixth Place: Zong Sha;
Seventh Place: Zuo Xiao] [Eighth Place: Li Jingling;
Ninth Place: Jin Huan] [Tenth Place: Zhang Lie] [Notice]
[Tomorrow, within Yuanchu City,] [the former City Lord Ge Xuan
shall be executed] [to honor those fallen
in this year’s Yuanchu Mountain trials.] [To prevent unrest
on the day of the execution,] [all residents are hereby ordered
to evacuate the city for the day.] [Those who disobey shall bear] [full responsibility
for the consequences.] [Yuanchu Mountain] [Yuanchu City] [In Memory of Pony] Ye should be nearing Wuzhou by now. Yes. The sunsets in Dongning Prefecture are far more beautiful
than the ones here. Why the rush to send Ye away? I don’t know. Everything seems to have turned out for the best. Ge Xuan faces death, Ye awakens, and everyone may enter Yuanchu Mountain. Yet I feel no joy. Too much has happened during these trials. I’m leaving. You two carry on. City Lord, it’s all over now. Any orders? Feeling frustrated, discontented? Frustrated? So, it is frustration. Feeling discontented? That’s how it should be. You’re weaker than me and then you have to endure. Yuanchu Mountain stands above all. So all must endure! Remember this discontent, Meng Chuan. This is why we grow stronger! Xiao Jinyu, now you look no different from Ge Xuan. Do I? Zhuang Sheng, where do you think our path lies? Are you really not
entering Yuanchu Mountain? Is there a point? If not, then let’s go down instead. The path lies beneath our feet. The Abyss? Why are we here? Hold it. This is the Blood Sea from my dreams? So it truly exists. Remember the gate in the corridor? I think we can enter it now. City Lord, what brings you here? After decades of being Yuanchu Mountain’s lapdog, are you truly willing to die? Even my life was given by them. Why shouldn’t I die for them? You truly are a loyal lapdog. Xiao Jinyu, if you’re not obedient, I can replace you at any time. Get changed, have a good meal, and get some sleep. Tomorrow, you’ll meet your end with dignity. Yes, Lord Qingyu. Xiao… Xiao Jinyu. Dignified enough? I’m leaving. Mr. Zuo, even if you become a Saint, don’t forget about me. Some poor fool’s house is burning. Let me put it out. Chuan, where have you been? Am I… Meng Chuan! Sun’s up, butt up. Mother? [Meng’s Mansion] Why hasn’t that lazy boy Chuan come out yet? Kid, you’re back from the mountain? Yeah, I’ve come back to visit my old friends. Alright. Go ahead. Qiyue must be growing impatient. I’m off then. I’m leaving, Mother. [Meng’s Mansion] That lazybones Chuan. He’s still not ready? Qiyue! What took you so long? Let’s go. Mr. Chuan, you overslept again? Making Miss Qiyue wait
every morning, aren’t you? When will we get to toast your wedding? Hurry up. You’ll make me late again. And don’t you dare
send that fellow an invitation. You hear me? I absolutely won’t. Meng Chuan, are we still playing the match today? Ye, of course. It’s settled. You up for it? Don’t lose to that Bai fellow. Relax, victory’s assured. Lord Qianmu, you’re forcing me to my death. Yuanchu Mountain already
sentenced you to die. How is this my doing? Had you listened to me and allied with Liangjie Island, you wouldn’t have ended up like this. Liangjie Island? You can’t even save yourselves. If you must die, Ge Xuan, die with honor. Indeed. After decades as their lapdog, I deserve a glorious end. Have you figured it out? According to the archives, Saint Remains and Saint Chalcedony Liquid
share the same origin. After the Saint’s fall, Yuanchu Mountain… Get to the point. Bone Forging. The candidate must enter the coffin unclothed. Once sealed, the coffin must remain undisturbed for 14 hours. No interference. No premature opening. No use of vital qi or internal energy is permitted inside. Breaking free ahead of time is forbidden. If one ignores this, crippling injury at best, flesh dissolution at worst. Each Saint leaves behind one set of remains. Thus, each bone forging trial differs. However, Yuanchu Mountain provides no historical records
of the remains [Saint] nor any guarantees. What are the odds of success? Less than thirty percent. Not bad. Open the coffin. [Cangyuan Inheritance]
[Saint Remains] Don’t worry. General, I’ll await your return here. Weren’t all civilians ordered
to evacuate the city? Why are these people still here? They’re here to collect the blood. City Lord, please let me get some blood this time. The City Lord’s blood… Disgusting. Where has Chuan been? Why isn’t Master Qingyu here yet? Time for execution. Who… Who… Who is this guy? Why’s he hauling a coffin? – Yeah.
– Yeah. He… He’s that… That… That City Lord, Ge Xuan. The one about to be executed? – Yeah.
– Yeah. Isn’t that the City Lord? Why’s he hauling a coffin? Wasn’t he supposed to be executed? Did he prepare this coffin for himself? No way. That’s just pathetic. Nice coffin. You’ve got taste, My Lord. A lifetime carving wood teaches a man how to pick his coffin. My Lord, it’s about time. Please. Won’t you look inside? Once your head rolls, I’ll see to your burial myself. Take a look. No! No way! Impossible! This can’t be! You want my blood? What’s so special about my blood? That’s… The Saint of Yuanchu Mountain. She’s dead? If you want blood, take the Saint’s! Saint’s Blood! I want the Saint’s Blood! Give me the Saint’s Blood! My Lord, hurry! Let me get some. My Lord! Ge Xuan! Do you realize
you have committed a heinous crime? After decades as their lapdog, can’t I rebel just once before I die? The Grandmaster’s game
has lasted for a thousand years. None have glimpsed its truth. By Yuanchu Mountain’s decree, I’ve unraveled its mysteries. Forty-two years of study! Today, I’ll show the masters on the mountain what Grandmaster has truly hidden! What is he trying to do? No matter what he is going to do, stop him. Should we intervene? Are you asking for death? This is dangerous. Don’t engage head-on.

Meng Chuan, I’ll prove to you the might of the path of Fiend Lord! Saints? Body Refiners? They’re nothing compared to the Fiend Lord. [Fiend Lord] Such excellent nourishment! Your Saint’s foundations belong to me now. Xiao Jinyu, you’re finally here! Face me! [Body Refinement Saint] [Episode 54]
[Face Me] [Jinghu] – Morning.
– Morning. Meng Chuan, you handed in
the wrong assignment again. So that’s where my sketchbook went. You didn’t peek, did you? I won’t tell anyone
you drew the dean as a turtle. Don’t forget about the ball game
after class. Wouldn’t miss it. Move. Step aside. Make way. White-haired Yan, have you gotten lost again? Shut up. I’m here now. Meng Chuan, are we playing or not? Just admit defeat. Try not to cry later. The final of the 5th Cuju Match
at Jinghu Academy begin now. Meng Chuan, you’re too much! Told you I wouldn’t disappoint you. White-haired Yan. Yuanzhi. Zhuang Sheng. Zhuang Sheng? Who’s Zhuang Sheng? Time to go, Chuan. Wait. We didn’t have enough fun. Let’s have another round. Are you really not leaving? Go, Meng Chuan. The gate leads where you belong. You are Meng Chuan? How dare you steal from Cangyuan. Cangyuan? The duel has finally come. Even with Xiao Jinyu perfecting
the Road of Body Refinement, he only rivals a Saint
at Great Sun Phase. Still insufficient against the Fiend Lord. Where’s Meng Chuan? Xiao Jinyu. What? Want him to watch you die? This perfected Road of Body Refinement grants power akin to Saint’s Dharma Lakshana
and Saint Form. As you said, only akin. It still can’t compare
to the real Saint. Limited to fierce qi. Too one-dimensional. They say Xiao Jinyu refused to become a Saint to pursue Body Refinement. Why? Is he mad? He wants to forge a path for the common people. The fool is truly deranged. Xiao Jinyu, you’ve had your fun. But I’ve already devoured your Five-Color Fierce Qi. From now on, your fierce qi can’t harm me anymore. Relax, General Xiao. You’ll be safe until Meng Chuan arrives. I will kill you right in front of him to prove the power of Fiend Lord! The Fiend Lord really can devour anything. No kidding. That’s why Liangjie Island
stake everything on Ge Xuan. Let’s see just how far the Fiend Lord’s power goes. Just Five-Color Fierce Qi. What hope do you have left? Did I ever say I was limited to Five-Color Fierce Qi? Seven-Color Fierce Qi? Seven-Color Fierce Qi? That’s unheard of. This trip just got interesting. Seven-Color Fierce Qi! Seven-Color Fierce Qi! [Grapple!] [Throw!] [Twist!] [Subdue!] [Shift!] [Punch!] [Kick!] Xiao Jinyu, in Body Refinement,
you truly stand unmatched. No. I’m not! The way you’re talking… You mean you weren’t the first
to master Seven-Color Fierce Qi? Who, then? Meng Chuan? It figures it’s him. Funny, Fiend Lord and Body Refiner
share something in common. Both require those who feel deeply. But Body Refinement demands restraint, whereas the path of Fiend Lord thrives on indulgence! Seven-Color Fierce Qi
is still not enough. At first, Ge Xuan
was clearly overpowered. True. In terms of attack power,
Seven-Color Fierce Qi rivals a fourth-phase Marquis Saint. But what good is that? The Fiend Lord continually adapts and evolves during combat. No weakening. No death. It only grow stronger. Fiend Lord? Shouldn’t a Body Refiner grow stronger
the more they’re beaten? Why am I the one getting stronger? Meng Chuan shares this trait too. He truly is born to be a Fiend Lord! Even Seven-Color Fierce Qi isn’t enough? Why haven’t you died yet? You’re drenched in death energy, yet you cling to life. I see now. The battlefield’s fierce qi was actually drawn by your emotions, shielding your heart meridian. These fallen soldiers saved you. It’s over. The Road of Body Refinement is a dead end from the start. No wonder Yuanchu Mountain
doesn’t want it. Dead end? What do you mean? Can’t you see? The fierce qi has been
corroding Xiao Jinyu’s… You’ve been blabbering nonstop. So annoying. Why are there two Xiao Jinyus? So Body Refinement still holds secrets. Seven-Color Fierce Qi is my limit. But not ours. Nine-Color Fierce Qi… [Slaughter of Fate] [I question heaven and earth] [Who can ferry me beyond mortal word?] [Who can deliver me from suffering?] [Who can grant my heart true peace?] [Who can transform me
into the lotus pure?] You actually refined life and death
into fierce qi. Xiao Jinyu, you truly are
a natural-born body refiner! Xiao Jinyu. Xiao Jinyu. Xiao Jinyu! The general is the winner. Cangyuan? Get in here. Hey, kid, want some coconut water? Catch it. How do I get down? Why are you still standing there? Cangyuan? Get in here. Hey, kid, want some coconut water? Catch it. How do I get down? Step here. I’m brilliant! Is this Cangyuan Grandmaster? Are you really Cangyuan Grandmaster? What? Don’t I look like it? Who’d believe Cangyuan Grandmaster
is a pink-haired handsome man? Kid, just for that, I will help you. What? You stole treasures from the game, crossed the Blood Pool
of Saints and Fiends, and barged into the Meditation Chamber
where I once fasted. Weren’t you trying to get my attention? Blood Pool of Saints and Fiends? Meditation Chamber? That door. Once we pass through it, we’ll find a whole new path. Zhuang Sheng. Where’s Zhuang Sheng? I can’t sense him. Where’s my primordial spirit? It’s been in your hands. Zhuang Sheng. Thieves are not welcome here. Get out. Come and choose. What? A new path of cultivation. Isn’t that what you came for? Body Refinement. Fiend Lord. Taiyin. Asura. Blades and Spears. Each is a path beyond the Saint. So many cultivation paths besides the Saint. That’s not all. Over the years, I’ve learned
of countless cultivation paths. Too many to count. Though most of them were just hearsay. Only around 60 were verifiable. And these five are the only complete ones. Now choose. So Body Refinement truly rivals the path of the Saint? Kid, though Body Refinement is powerful, I advise against it. Kid, you’ve already dabbled in it. Seven-Color Fierce Qi? You’re talented. If Body Refinement is so powerful and I’m quite talented, why dissuade me? Because the better a Body Refiner’s talent, the shorter their life. Fierce qi is the world’s foulest venom. No mortal flesh can endure its toxicity. Your body will rot and warp endlessly. You think you’re blooming, but you’re withering. What about the Fiend Lord? The Fiend Lord? It is indeed powerful. Among all the cultivation paths
I’ve ever known, it stands at the pinnacle. That’s why I hesitated to destroy it. And in the end, I sealed it in the game. This path stems from the demon race, being tied to their very origins. The demon race reveres it as sacred. Yet strangely, none of them practice it. My curiosity burned. After study, I understood why even the demon race fears this path. It embodies chaos and disorder. And most terrifyingly, once born, it cannot be destroyed. It only grows uncontrollably, wildly, and infinitely. So compared to the Fiend Lord,
Body Refiner… Body Refiners can’t defeat the Fiend Lords. Feeling powerless? This war was never meant for ordinary people. You and your soldiers saved nothing. All died. Protect the people! – Protect the people!
– Protect the people! Xiao Jinyu, is this the limit of a Body Refiner? A dead end after all. If even you couldn’t go further, what hope for others? Had we all chosen Body Refinement, we might’ve held out longer and saved a few more. At least it wouldn’t just be the two of us left. Right, Zhihua? General Xiao. It’s time. We’ll have a drink when I get back. General Xiao. Time to act. No rush. Only one bone broken so far. Sir, another bowl of noodles, please. You haven’t eaten today. Don’t worry. General, I’ll await your return here. We will walk this path to the end. General Xiao! General Xiao! [Episode 56]
[This Path I Shall Take] Xiao Jinyu, your Nine-Color Fierce Qi is beyond you. But I can withstand it! The path of the Fiend Lord reigns supreme! Genius Yan Chitong? You should’ve stayed hidden at home. Immortal of Fire. [Foundation Posture, Immortal of Fire] You dare fight me? Foundation Posture. [Foundation Posture,
Frosty-night Hunter] Even Xiao Jinyu was devoured by me. You brats, come on. Here’s your chance. Why not walk the path of the Fiend Lord? Forget the Saint. Not even Yuanchu Mountain
can save Cangyuan Realm. But I can. Cangyuan Realm needs no saving from you. Sword Seed? Lord of Anhai actually forged you
into a Sword Seed. Your father truly is ruthless. Best not provoke him. Go home. You think I won’t kill you? Auspicious Omen. Turn Misfortune to Blessing. Kid, bring on the big kick. Foundation Technique. Starswirl! Didn’t expect such surprises among you. Altering fate itself? What an incredible ability! Escape! Mediocre tricks. Escape? Forgive me, Anhai. [Body Refinement Saint] You’re late. I’ll take it from here. Is Body Refinement truly a dead end? Is there no solution? There is. Ultimately, it is because of the fragility
of mortal flesh. So, just strengthen it. With what? The hardest stone in the starry sky, Starry Sky Crystal. Starry Sky Crystal? [First Saint] Come at me, Meng Chuan. You’ve been itching for this trial,
haven’t you? Hit me with everything you’ve got. Vent your rage. If I die, that’s my own misfortune. He’s completely outmatched by Meng Chuan. This battle is far beyond our intervention now. Chuan. Meng Chuan, as the Body Refinement Saint, why are you different from Xiao Jinyu? You wield only Seven-Color Fierce Qi. Yet it surpass his Nine-Color Fierce Qi. There are still secrets
to Body Refinement? Funny. I happen to have the Starry Sky Crystal. Since you’re still alive, why don’t you take action? Why don’t you exterminate the demon race and destroy Montemar Monster? I cannot intervene. Why? If you acted, even the Fiend Lord and Body Refinement would be unnecessary! As long as you come back, those guys on Yuanchu Mountain wouldn’t dare to play any tricks or carry out persecutions. The entire world will bear your name. Why don’t you…? Because of you. What? Your existence is the reason why I cannot intervene. Because you are the aberration. Am I the aberration? What do you mean? Have you forgotten what you’ve done? I… You reversed time. The repercussions of that act are beyond your imagination, Meng Chuan. Do you know why the future has vanished? It’s because too many people caught a glimpse of it, which led them to alter it. Whether it’s the changes in the trials or the rise of the Fiend Lord, everything stems from you. All of it traces back to you. This is all my fault? My fault. Chuan, though these changes originated from you, it’s not your fault. Then whose fault is it? Whose fault is it? You’re furious, Meng Chuan. But fury alone is useless. In the end, power is what matters. Look at you, you’ve been pounding on me, and I’m perfectly fine. Body Refinement sucks. Observe. This is how fierce qi should be wielded! Nine-Color Fierce Qi? How did you…? Meng Chuan, this is the Fiend Lord. We can adapt to all and devour all. Everything returns to the fiend. Fiend Lord? [Second Saint] I understand now. Understand what? So you’re here to kill me? True. Killing you would eliminate any further aberrations. But it wouldn’t undo the changes already occurred. Then what do you…? I gave you a choice. You said you wanted it all. Not just Body Refinement Saint, but also the Saint of Cangyuan. This pressure… Is it…? Saint? Someone from Yuanchu Mountain is here? Saint? Saint. Meng Chuan, don’t tell me this is your doing. Saint? Meng Chuan? Majestic and divine might, heed my decree. Lord of Universal Thunder! [Saint’s Dharma Lakshana:
Lord of Universal Thunder] Saint’s Dharma Lakshana? [Saint] Meng Chuan! You entered Yuanchu Mountain after all, didn’t you? Everything stems from me. All consequences, I shall bear. Thunder Saint’s Fury. Blade of Egoless Oneness. Is it over? Meng Chuan is the winner. This guy. He was gone for a day, and look what he pulled off. Six-Character Saint’s Dharma Lakshana. Impressive, Meng Chuan. Chuan, you actually achieved Dual Saint. Meng Chuan, Dual Saint, huh? That’s impressive. But you still can’t kill me. [Third Saint] Only a Fiend Lord can slay a Fiend Lord. Fiend Lord? – Meng Chuan,
– Meng Chuan, – thousands of paths of cultivation.
– thousands of paths of cultivation. – Dual cultivation is already rare.
– Dual cultivation is already rare. – But can you, the aberration,
– But can you, the aberration, walk a third path? To a realm even I never reached, – the Tri-Saint Realm!
– the Tri-Saint Realm! Tri-Saint? So this is what you wanted to see? Yes. [But you will die] Can’t you transform? Then show me something even more formidable. Chuan! Why has the Monster still appeared? That guy hasn’t given up. He’s trying to force Meng Chuan
into becoming a fiend. Meng Chuan, I get it now! Yuanchu Mountain actually wants you to cultivate
all three Saint paths! All three paths. Let him go! Do you see now? Just how far
Yuanchu Mountain’s ambition stretches! I thought the Fiend Lord was mad enough, but now I feel ashamed of my own limits. I can’t fall behind! Devour. I’ll devour everything! Phoenix Secret Technique. Falling Starfire. Fiend Lord Ge Xuan, by the decree of the Master, this trial ends now. The Master’s Divine Maiden Puppets? Impossible! He summoned the Monster! And now he wants me to stop? Are those fools toying with me? I said stop. Perfect timing, Liu Qiyue. Killing you should push Meng Chuan
into becoming a fiend. Mountain Lord’s Decree. Suppress! He will become a fiend. He must become a fiend! Master, you underestimate me. You think some puppets at Enduring Phase can stop me? Why must you force him like this? What is he doing? White-haired Yan, what are you going to do? He’s burning his Foundation of Saints and trying to destroy the Monster. The aberration lives up to his name. You refuse to become the Fiend Lord. Even when I summoned a Monster, someone shielded you. Meng Chuan, he’s a great friend to have. He can even die for you. Star Shatter! Yan Jin. Curse Yuanchu Mountain. Curse the aberration. And just like that, Ge Xuan wins. You’re all dead. Want to see it? Then I’ll show you! Chuan. This aura… Fiend Lord? But not like me. Interesting, Meng Chuan. You truly are different. You’re really doing this? Bold move, kid. What did you do? Stay out of this. This was his choice. Chuan. Meng Chuan! Your Body Refinement is different, so is your Demon Lord path. Is this the essence of cultivating all three paths? Chuan. I’ll go kill him. Wait for me. Chuan, I’ll be waiting. Grandmaster, I admit I’ll bring unforeseeable changes. But one thing will never change. And what is that? [Demon Lord] I am Meng Chuan. I’ll only die slaying demons. Meng Chuan, thousands of paths of cultivation. Dual cultivation is already rare. But can you, the aberration, walk a third path? To a realm even I never reached, the Tri-Saint Realm. Tri-Saint? So this is what you wanted to see? Yes. [But you will die] I once attempted to fuse
the Saint and Fiend Lord paths to control the power of the Fiend Lord. Yet the moment they fused, my body nearly broke down. Fuseing three cultivation paths may take time. Chuan. Don’t worry. With Body Refinement as my foundation and the fusion of Starry Sky Crystal, my flesh will handle it. Meng Chuan, in this world, only you and I remain as allies. With our combined strength, Meng Chuan, Cangyuan will be ours! You claim to act for Cangyuan, yet in truth, you serve only yourself! Fiend Lord. I see. Well then, Meng Chuan? It’s great to be a Fiend Lord, isn’t it? But do you dare devour me? Shut your filthy mouth! Chuan, this fusion is not simple. Funny! Something’s wrong with your Fiend Lord path. What’s happening? Why am I turning into a Saint? The Saint Path is resisting. It demands dominance. No wonder the body breaks down
during the fusion. Never can saints and fiends
coexist in peace! They will always vie for supremacy. That’s why Grandmaster sought to reinforce the body with Body Refinement. But what if Body Refinement joins this war too? What? I understand now, Meng Chuan. You’re really wasting a treasure. Grandmaster was wrong. Introducing Body Refinement
increase the difficulty of fusion. Body Refinement refuses to yield. Zhuang Sheng, we must succeed. That’s right. We have to. Or else… You dare use the Fiend Lord
as mere support, Meng Chuan! No wonder your power wanes! Zhuang Sheng. Well? Can it be done? Yes. It must be! No. Not only do you
seek to master three paths, you also aim to fuse them. You think the Fiend Lord
could ever yield to others? Fool. Now I don’t need to lift a finger. You’ll destroy yourself, Meng Chuan. I thought with Body Refinement, you would have handled it. So even you, the aberration, can’t do that. I can’t do that? But it’s not too late. Step back now. Let the Fiend Lord
devour the other paths. At least you’ll survive. Step back? Step back, and I live. But what of Yuanbao? Would she live? If I step back, would Pony still be here? If I step back… You are my Saint. Would Ye forget his suffering? If I step back… My Lord, the flowers are blooming. Would Ning Yibu ever return home? If I step back… Meng Chuan, a hunch tells me you’ll end this era of devouring. Would Mei Yuanzhi still believe in me? Step back? Had I stepped back, would I still be me? Where is there to step back to? Did Great-aunt ever thought
about stepping back? Did the Third Elder, Yun Wanhai, or Li Huainan ever thought about stepping back? Had Xiao Jinyu known
Body Refinement would kill him, would he have stepped back? Thousands of years of corpses paved
this demon-slaying path. If I step back now, I tread upon their bones. We have nowhere to step back to. Yet ahead lies only ruin. That’s why you fear. Fear everything. And then you cause all these troubles. Because you don’t believe. You don’t believe we can win. Watch this, Grandmaster. Watch how I slay demons. What are you doing? My power, my will, and my everything. I’ll give it my all to take your life! Meng Chuan! [Saint, Body Refinement, Fiend Lord] Meng Chuan, you let that blade devour you? You’d fuse all paths with it just to drag me down with you? Fool! You fool! You, and Ji Yuantong, you’re all fools! Zhuang Sheng. I’m here. Let’s strike. Meng Chuan, you think this can kill me? The Fiend Lord does not die. Only you will. Only you. You! You dreg. Meng Chuan! You deserve to be torn to pieces. Chuan! Qiyue! Just as I thought. We did it, Chuan. That blade held a new power. But we… Chuan, was it worth it? Grandmaster, you’ve seen the previous future,
haven’t you? What choice did he make? Him? He hasn’t come as far as you have. After Ning Yibu’s death, he accepted Qingyu’s offer and entered Yuanchu Mountain
as the top performer in the trial, becoming a Saint. He single-handedly
slaughtered countless demons and was bestowed the title
of Dongning King. He is the strongest human being. But when you summoned him, he could have refused. Then he would have survived. But he chose to change fate with you. So you can also be that resolute. Can I entrust this new future to you? He must have realized Cangyuan Realm was doomed. I see. He’s right. We are indeed resolute. Qiyue. What is this? What is happening? I have to go first. ♪All things are fleeting♪ Are you a bit surprised? ♪I’m at…♪ What are you talking about? I’m surprised too. I thought I’d walk this path with you, with Yan Jin, with everyone… ♪I’m in…♪ to the very end of demon-slaying. Yet here I fall. I don’t want to die here. ♪I’ve had a voice♪ Qiyue, take me back to Dongning Prefecture. ♪Trembling endlessly, weeping endlessly♪ No. No! ♪Lost in the endlessness♪ ♪The great wind

the eternal grief within the mountains♪ ♪I’ll no longer doubt♪ [Episode 58]
[Rising Sun Towards You] Shouldn’t I be dead? Yes. You should be. The aberration lives up to its name. You reversed time to save
the phoenix bloodline, then gave your life for that choice, only to be saved by that very bloodline. Interesting. Quite interesting. Qiyue. So Qiyue saved me? The Path of Bloodline
is another cultivation system. But bloodlines aren’t granted by choice. Most will never awaken one. Even the supreme
Phoenix bloodline’s rebirth comes at the cost of consuming vitality. Qiyue! Thanks to her. Or the new path you’ve forged will be in vain. Fusing three cultivation paths through the Demon Slaying Blade’s
devouring nature. I wonder what you will name this new road. Meng Chuan, that blade bears your mark now. So, despite being an aberration, you indeed have your inevitability. Zhuang Sheng. Grandmaster, I didn’t understand what you said. Just as you said, though you are an aberration, perhaps there are some things that will never change. Meng Chuan, lead Cangyuan Realm to victory once more. That is your inevitability. I definitely will. Alright. I’m leaving. Ah, one more thing. Do you remember what you saw when you entered the Meditation Chamber? I can’t recall. It doen’t matter. Oh, and another thing. are you still entering Yuanchu Mountain? No. Just as I expected from you. He’s awake. Qiyue? White-haired Yan? You’ve been asleep so long. Are you feeling dizzy? Wait. What… What is going on? Ah, a minor side effect. But don’t worry. Look, you’ve only been out a month, and you’ve already grown from a baby
to a six-year-old. Two more months,
and you’ll be back to normal. Zhuang Sheng. I’m here. Let me carry you up. Here. My turn to hold you. Mr. Yan, give a piggyback ride! You little ingrate. I changed your diapers! And I even bought you sweets. Oh, those were for me? You just used the kid
as an excuse to snack! Alright, you two. Can we have a little peace? Where are we now? Where is everyone? We’re at Yuanchu Mountain. Technically, outside Yuanchu Mountain. So that’s Yuanchu Mountain? Ugly as sin. I thought this trial would be a mere formality. Never expected so many things to happen. In the end, only a few of us were left. Yuanchu Mountain is still working to heal the two companions of Jingling. What’s the situation with Yuanchu City? Why did they leave us here? After you killed Ge Xuan, Yuanchu Mountain once again sent someone to issue an order. Yuanchu City
will no longer have a city lord. Zhihua will command
the Traveling Saint Guardians and lead the reconstruction
of Yuanchu City. – All hail the General!
– All hail the General! As for us, we were waiting for you to wake up. Yuanchu Mountain sent someone once. It’s a pity you weren’t awake at that time. And you pissed right on his face. What? It went pretty high up. Better than I could manage as a child. You have a mole on your butt. You… You… You all saw it? Just you wait! Sorry, Meng Chuan. We’re still entering Yuanchu Mountain. No need for apologies. It’s the right thing to do. They’re finally here. Everyone, time to enter Yuanchu Mountain. Let’s go. White-haired Yan, your Foundation of Saints… Don’t worry. Yuanchu Mountain claims
they can restore it. You are not lying to me, right? Chuan. Why would I lie to you? Go away! I’ll wait for you. Wait for me. I’ll come down once I’ve crossed
the Pool of Saint’s Blood, Chuan. I’ll come fetch you then. You said it. Come fetch me. I promise, Qiyue. You really won’t tell him? No need to burden him with worry. [Episode 59]
[A New Path] What? They’ve all left. And you still hesitate? Perfect. I’ll test my newfound power on you. That’s the stuff. Saint. Body Refinement. And fiend. [Chuan] All seem to be present. Yet also seemingly fused into one. Saint Power Blast! [Saint at Enduring Phase,
the Second Phase] You’re all at the Enduring Phase. This power is newly forged, yet already rivals
Seven-Color Fierce Qi. In terms of aggressivity, it matches even a Saint
at the fourth phase, Dark Star Phase. No. I feel it goes beyond that. A portion of power remains sealed. This new path of cultivation is truly incredible. Three paths fused into one. Like three eternal stars in unending orbits. [Saint at Great Sun Phase,
the Third Phase] Chuan. Grasp it. This is its true form. The greed of the Fiend Lord. The mystery of the Saint. The corrosion of fierce qi. And the intangibility
of the primordial spirit. This power embodies them all! What kind of power is that? This power resembles Saint’s Fury, yet it’s far more than that. The potential here is staggering. Is it already comparable to the King of Saint
just in its infancy? Name it, Chuan. This is your brand new path. Saint-Fiend. The Path of Saint-Fiend. Saint-Fiend? [Seven Kings of the World, Zhenwu] Interesting. I thought he’d merely mastered
the Path of Fiend Lord. Yet he fused three paths into something entirely new. But how did this kid achieve
Body Refinement Saint? Master, was this also your arrangement? Obviously. Besides Master, who else could pull that off? [Seven Kings of the World, Fengxue] This development far exceeds our expectations. The Path of Saint-Fiend may be beyond our control. Control? Why seek control? If we can’t control it, the first ones Meng Chuan
might slaughter once he grows powerful won’t be the demon race. Granny, now you fret? Where was this caution
when you schemed against him? Zhenwu, you… You two, [Seven Kings of the World, Anhai]
brawl elsewhere after the council. Fengxue Passage isn’t far
from Zhenwu Passage. Master, though newly forged,
the Path of Saint-Fiend already rivals a King of Saint’s might. Anhai, “King of Saint” overstates it. At best, it matches Infinite Phase. Fengxue is right this time. Infinite Phase and King of Saint are two different things. The news about the Path of Saint-Fiend must remain sealed off. He needs time to grow. Yet now, [Seven Kings of the World, Yanhuo]
time is the one luxury we lack. Liangjie Island is about to fall. And Demon Clan grows bolder by the day. And the crux. [Seven Kings of the World, Jianjiu] The Path of Saint-Fiend? Quite a good name. But does he even know
how to cultivate it? Is Liangjie Island truly lost, Master? [Paragon of Creation, Qin Wu] Only desperation would drive them to risk our wrath by coveting the Fiend Lord. Both we and Shadowed Abyss must reinforce Liangjie Island
these two years to ensure the implementation
of the Great Migration Plan. As for his cultivation… Slaughter is the best form of cultivation. What’s happening? Why can’t I stop it? Devour. This is the Devouring Power
of the Fiend Lord. What do you mean? Weren’t the three paths fused into one? Your Saint Power is still too weak. It cannot rival the Fiend Lord’s might. Only by becoming a King of Saint can you wield this new power freely. [Seal] Who are you? I am Qin Wu. Those on the mountain call me Master. You may do the same. Master? You’re the lord of Yuanchu Mountain? Lord? I once was. But now, I’m merely an elder there. Though out of respect, they still heed my words. I don’t care who you are. I just want to know why. So, you arranged this trial and everything else? That’s right. Why? Why would you do that? Meng Chuan, do you know how many resources it takes to nurture a Saint? Do you know how long it takes to become a Saint? Do you know how many Saints
perish every day? Do you know how many Demon Kings
there are among the demon race? Cangyuan Realm now has just over nine thousand Saints. Yet there are millions of Demon Kings. The gap between mankind
and the demon race is beyond measure. Cangyuan Realm is a cornered beast. We have no new resources left. The Pool of Saint’s Blood is nearly dry. In a few years, there won’t be any new Saints. We are about to lose our defense, Meng Chuan. How… How could this be? This game was set for you alone. The Fiend Lord was our last hope. I just bet you’d stay true to yourself and restrain yourself, even as a fiend. Yet you surpassed all expectations. Meng Chuan, I didn’t expect you to forge the Path of Saint-Fiend. This power could save our world or hasten its ruin. For no one understands it. It may be more terrifying
than the Fiend Lord itself. Meng Chuan, enter Yuanchu Mountain. I will spare no effort to help you
become a King of Saint and a true Saint-Fiend. You will become the next leader
of Yuanchu Mountain. You will stand above all others. Well? Will you enter Yuanchu Mountain? Have you considered that once I grow powerful enough, I might even overturn Yuanchu Mountain? When you’ve saved Cangyuan Realm, my head is yours to claim. No. I won’t enter. I knew you’d refuse. Then what if I offer you the title
of Realm Inspector? Realm Inspector of Yuanshu Mountain. The incumbent can mobilize three major institutions
of Yuanchu Mountain, namely, Traveling Saint Guardians, Demon Slaying Alliance, and Earth Net. To patrol the realm, bearing the weight of all mortal lives. This generous? If you accept, you must undertake one task. I knew it. What is it? Reinforce Liangjie Island. Liangjie Island is on the verge of being lost. [Realm Inspector] No common path, no shared plan. I’ll go to Liangjie Island. But I won’t take your token. A friend once told me demons devour men, men devour men, and Saints slay demons
then devour men in turn. This is a world that feasts on itself. You called Cangyuan Realm
a cornered beast. No. What’s trapped isn’t Cangyuan. It’s you. You Saints atop your mountain. Chanting about saving the world, yet clutching at straws in desperation. If you don’t know how to save it, then stay on your mountain and watch. Watch how I’ll save this world. [Yuanchu City] Not only were you rejected, you were thoroughly chastised, Qin Wu. It’s alright. He cannot escape Yuanchu Mountain. Weren’t you afraid he’d actually kill you? He wouldn’t. That type of man reeks of arrogance. So you’ve learned to read faces now? I’ve seen enough of the world. Let’s go, Scamp! Our destination is Liangjie Island! Charge, Scamp! Grandmaster, everything unfolded as you foresaw. But will Liangjie Island follow your predictions as well?
