Fighter of the Destiny
Episode 28
Just like the swords in the sword pool.
Even though they were defeated
Locked in the pool, covered by dust.
Slowly forgotten.
But they still exist.
Although humble,
Although meaningless,
Although pitiful,
But everything that exist in this world has their own story.
All have their own pride.
As long as that pride is in their heart,
We are not defeated.
We also
Not defeated!
What sword is this?
Shan Hai Sword.
How could you have a connection with it?
Sword Intent.
Chen Changsheng, you apprehended Sword Intent!
I've told you, as long as I'm alive.
I will not yield to destiny.
They are the same as me.
Unwilling to yield to destiny.
My Sword Intent, they genuinely felt it.
Let me see how you handle this master sword.
Isn't this Zhai sword of our Nanxi Academy?
Shifu.
Your excellency.
Chen Changsheng
Even if you know much swordsmanship,
But in my eye, you're just an insignificant ant.
Kill them!
Yes.
The undying fighting spirit of these elites,
Only you are able to inherit it.
Hope I won't let them down.
Could it be Yue Nv Sword?
How is this possible?
Demon General's Qi Sword.
Also Long Yin Sword.
Bi Hu Sword?
Where did it come from?
All these master swords, finally radiate again.
All these crap swords are only defeated generals.
How dare they brave themselves!
Go!
Adviser. Sorry about this.
This time, I still have to depend on others to win.
They were only losers to Split Blade back then.
Dare to have a comeback?
A bunch of defeated swords, how can they be called brave?
If Zhou Dufu can defeat you, so can I.
Chen Changsheng Do you think you can live on
with some senile and defeated swords as your baker? All Sword Intents locked in the Zhou Garden,
will all be freed today.
You won't stay in this un-peaceful land.
I will take you to leave this abandoned Garden.
Hero spirituals undead, all Swords return to their ascent!
Are you okay?
I'm fine
All Swords Returning to Their Ascent isn't fun at all
Black Robe and Nanke might think in the same way
These spiritual sense are existence to maintain Zhou Garden
Once they dissipate, The Zhou Garden will collapse
We gotta leave immediately
The exit of the Zhou Garden is opening
You go first. I will try to keep this world longer
So that other people have more time to go
Do you think I will leave alone?
Rong'er, I don't want you to be in danger Though at present I don't know how to love someone
I know clearly
that right now, no matter what happens I know clearly
that right now, no matter what happens
I will live or die with you
-We'll be together -Never leave each other
How could that brat destroy the Zhou Garden?!
Adviser, there's still time
The Zhou Garden will soon be destroyed
We should leave first.
Chen Changsheng, I'm not done with you until I die
Let's go
This is bad.
Something big is happening in the Zhou Garden
And the garden shows sign to collapse
Don't know how long could it last
This flower is withering
Hope it won't be too late for us to make it
Mo Yu, open the Zhou Garden
I will help you with the Star Formation
Yes
What's wrong with the Zhou Garden?
Seems that the little world becomes unstable
What to do then?
Look there
The Imperial Palace
The Great Empress seems to be opening the exit of Zhou Garden Really?
Do you find the way to maintain the Zhou Garden?
No
I can only depend on Zhou Dufu's sword intent in the Copper Umbrella
To maintain the Zhou Garden
Once the sword intent is exhausted
This little world will completely collapse
If you had not saved me with your blood
I would have died already
But I don't know why I was not afraid at that time
Yet now, I begin to fear
Maybe
You've found the reason to live longer
Being together with you, I really don't want to die
Such things like how to live, I have more experience I will find a solution somehow
Changsheng
What are these?
Altogether 18 obsidians
The thousands of swords
were originally used to repress the obsidians
What are these patterns?
That's it, Zhou Dufu's obsidians are Tianshu tombstones.
These are Star Maps
Only with enough killing intent, the Star Maps can be hidden
Zhou Dufu took obsidians of Tianshu Tombstones away with him,
Therefore since then
Nobody could understand the Tianshu Tombstones
Maybe the Zhou Empire let him down
Although Taizong Emperor did failed him
Common people in Zhou's Empire were innocent
We have to take the Star Maps back
Plus the first Star Map I saw in the Tianshu Tomb
There are altogether 108 maps
The split Swordsmanship also has 108 movements
It seems that Zhou Dufu's swordsmanship
was apprehended from the Tianshu Tombstones
The Tianshu Tombstones appeared in this world
And stars decide destinies
These are true Star Maps
So many Star Maps
Can you remember them at once?
You bet
I grew up memorising books
Help protect me
Changsheng
We've to be faster
Changsheng
Done
This is the last combination already
We'll have to give it a try
Shifu still hasn't come out yet
This...
Has the Zhou Garden collapsed completed?
What happened to Changsheng? Has he come out yet?
Something bad happened to mister? No. I must find Shifu
Your highness, wait for me
Luoluo
Are you okay? I'm fine. How about you?
I'm okay
Maybe I've been reading too many Star Maps My brain is full of stars
Everything seems to be shining
How did we end up here?
It must be Luoluo
Do you remember back in the Zhou Garden She suddenly appeared?
She must have found some way
to open the passage of Zhou Garden
and transported us over
She is always thinking of ways to help you
Her heart is always with you
The fellows in Guojiao Academy
All have their hearts connected.
When the Zhou Garden collapsed, Didn't know what happened to the others
Don't worry, those who entered the Zhou Garden
have already reached Erebus-insight Stage
It shouldn't be a problem protecting themselves
Hope they all escaped.
Let's go
Where is this place?
Looking at the geomorphology
We're in the demon's territory
If I'm not mistaken
We should be near the Frost City
Frost City?
We will be walking a long way back home
In the demon territory Don't use our Nascent Soul to quicken our travel
Otherwise we will be detected by the demon soldiers
That would be troublesome
That's to say,
We can only walk all the way back to the Sacred Capital?
See that direction?
The Sacred Capital is over there
What are you laughing at?
Nothing
Just
This road seems to be a long journey
So what?
The demon territory
has no view worth watching
If the heart is at peace and joyful
The most beautiful scenery in the world
will be by our side
See anyone from Guojiao Academy?
Have you seen Chen Changsheng
No
You really didn't see him?
No
What should we do?
Is Shifu still trapped in the Zhou Garden?
Your highness, relax
Mister is so smart, there won't be any problem
Such a big city
Is it really a dead city?
So desolated
Do you know
A long time ago
This place was so prosperous
The book of antiques did mention
The prosperity of the Demon Clan
Never would I have thought that it is now so desolated A long time ago
This land was fertile and prosperous
Unfortunately, the demon clan
wasted such a good resource
Resulting in the drying of rivers
Death of plants, strong wind and sand
So now, they are nomadic
Migrating into the tunnels
No wonder the Demon Clan
When they see how vibrant the Human Clan is They always want to invade southwards
Why don't we take shelter from the cold and wind over here? Okay
Let's go
Look, these dry trees
The Demon Clan destroyed their own country As wind and sand cover the city, there's nowhere to live
So they're forced to live in caves
Self-inflicted sin backfires
Unfortunately, they don't know how to reflect
After destroying their beautiful country
They start to covet the Human territory
The pathetic must have some hateable traits
Living must be tough for them
So they turn to killing and pillaging
But never did they think that
to change their own environment
Just being here for a day and I already can't stand it
I've calculated
If we rush from the Frost City to Sacred Capital
With our current injuries not recovered
We can't cast any Cultivation Method We can only choose to walk
I'm afraid, it will take around a month
So long?
This road is a difficult one
We must hide from the demon
scouts, cities, towns and villages
We can only walk along the wilderness
So it will naturally be long
Don't know how are Qijian and the rest doing
whether they have returned to the Sacred Capital
Currently, there are no news about them
We can only pray for them
If they are lucky, heaven will help them
Oh right
When the Zhou Garden was collapsing
How did the Star Map appear?
This is because, In Lingxu Pavilion
I obtained that black stone
At Tianshu Tomb
I found out every Tianshu Tombstone has a gap
I tried each one of them
But was unable to fit them
Until the last broken Tianshu Tombstone
I only found out
That black stone is actually a Tianshu Tombstone
Therefore, I received the first Star Map
Never did I realize
When the Zhou Garden was collapsing
That black stone reacted again
It recruited another 17 black stones And assembled to form 108 Star Maps
Zhou Dufu really had the Star Map hidden in the tomb
Those 108 Star Maps, have you really memorized them?
This is Star Map mentioned by the Pope?
Where's my star?
Yes
This is my star
Where is Rong'er 's star?
This is Rong'er's star
So this is how the stars orbit
But, what does it mean
What did you find?
The Star Map is in my mind
And I saw our stars
Our stars?
In the Star Map in your mind?
I saw the way the stars orbited
It turns out Each star has their own orbit for them to move
As if there is some unseen power controlling them
You can see the orbit of the stars?
Yes
I think that is the star's fate
You mean,
The so-called Star's fate
The human's fate is decided by the so-called stars?
When they are born, when they die
When they are ill, when they are prosperous
It's all predetermined
I cultivate for the great cause
I'd also like to see my own destiny
If I can make use of the Star Map
to change my star's orbit
Then I can change my destiny
Rong'er
This is Zhou Dufu's way of changing destiny
He made use of the Star Map
to change the orbit of his star
Then
What connection do the Star Formation and Star Map have?
Our stars have their own fixed orbit
It can influence one's destiny
What I want to do is to change it's orbit
So that I can continue living
What?
I feel that the power of the Star Map is so great
It must be hard to harness
I gotta find a way, though
I don't have any other choices
Never did I know that Qijian is actually a girl
No wonder she always behaves like a sissy
Qijian
How is Qijian?
Come, bring QIjian back
Qijian is from Lishan Academy
Lishan Academy will have our own people looking after her
Be careful
Why does Uncle Jin still have no news?
Don't worry The spies will find out mister's whereabouts
Your highness
Uncle Jin
How does it go?
I have make careful inquires
to those at the Zhou Garden
But they said...
What did they say?
They said Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong
are already dead in the Zhou Garden
Who is spreading this rumor? I'll kill them! Calm down
I've verified the statement Although everyone said so
But no one actually saw their corpses
So nothing can be confirmed
I'll ask Mo Yu about that
Who is there?
Black Robe
You again
Don't be nervous. We are now a family
Shut up
You are really shameless
Why will I, Qiushan Jun, become one of your demons?
Shameless?
When you killed Guan Feibai
Did you think about who is more shameless? You...
Don't forget
Your both hands are stained with the blood of your fellow
Do you think you can wash it away?
No
I didn't kill Feibai
You confused me. You used me! Who do you think will believe what you've just said?
Listen,
The whole world will believe me
other than a loser like you!
Fine
Guan Feibai's body will be discovered soon
On it contains which academy's Sword Intent
has caused the sword wound
By then, it'll be easy to know
Even so
They can't be sure that it was me who killed him
You can try to deny But what if
the darkness in your body started to arise in front of everyone?
How did you know that?
How did I know that is not for you to be concerned.
You just need to know that I'm here
Don't mean to do harm to you
As despicable as you are,
would you ever show mercy to others?
That's not what I mean.
But I have some suggestions that will benefit both of us.
Don't you want to know?
What exactly do you want?
Very simple.
Chen Changsheng has taken away Zhou Dufu's star map.
The only thing you need to do is to get it from him,
and give it to me.
In return, your secret will be safe with me.
What do you mean?
After you give me the star map,
I can help you to conceal the truth about Guan Feibai.
Otherwise, your reputation as the Human hero
will be fully destroyed.
You are so despicable!
Don't you want Chen Changsheng dead?
After you get the star map, I can help you to get rid of him.
What kind of joke are you saying?
Don't you know that
I was trying to kill Cheng Changsheng in Zhou Garden?
Do you think he would trust me by now?
Would he possibly give the star map to me?
That's easy.
You can say that you were compelled by us.
I created all kinds of delusions in Zhou Garden.
Countless people have been trapped by them before.
You were also a victim of them.
Yes! That's it!
This miserable face.
The guiltier and sincerer you appear to be,
the more easily other people will believe
that you truly regret what you did.
After all, the fault is all ours. Even Chen Changsheng, as the murderer of Guan Feibai,
was compelled by us.
If Xu Yourong wants to argue for Chen Changsheng,
she also has to forgive you.
Your majesty.
Qiushan Jun came under your order.
Your majesty.
Qiushan.
How did the Demons enter Zhou Garden?
How did all the tumult happen?
Your majesty.
This time, the Demons came prepared.
We fell into their trap.
Luckily, most people came back alive.
So, the Demons' plans did not succeed.
This seems odd.
How could the Demons enter Zhou Garden ahead of us?
I'm afraid
Chen Changsheng colluded with the Demons.
Chen Changsheng?
Do you have any proof? I saw it myself.
He even killed one of the disciples of our Lishan Academy, Guan Feibai.
I have proofs, and can confront him in person.
Is that so?
Then, keep your evidence well.
Confront him once we find his whereabouts.
Yes.
You may leave.
Yes.
Your majesty.
Any news about Yourong?
She was seen together with Chen Changsheng.
What do you think about this matter?
In my opinion, we can't make a conclusion
based on one person's words.
The truth will be revealed, once the saintess comes back.
I order you to fully investigate this matter.
Bring back Yourong and Chen Changsheng.
Yes.
What?
You detest me that much?
You are a devil.
The devil you mentioned is not me,
It's Chen Changsheng
Ever since he came to the Sacred Capital,
he has disturbed the situation of the entire empire, didn't he?
But...
Alive or dead,
Chen Changsheng is the spy of the Demons Clan.
I believe we have reached an agreement on this
when we were in Zhou Garden,right?
You are threatening me?
Zhuang Huanyu, listen,
You have a bright future.
You need to think about
whether it's him or I, who can help you more in the future.
We are both the most talented disciples in the human clan
I believe,
you don't want to go down the wrong path like Chen Changsheng,
who is a nobody from nowhere.
Leave now.
I know what to do.
Changsheng.
Where did the blood on your clothes come from?
There were a few monsters coming. I have fought them off.
It's their blood.
I must have been in a deep sleep.
Even the monsters didn't wake me up.
You're cute when you're asleep.
We'll have to travel tomorrow
You have a rest. I'll be on watch.
Okay, listen to you.
The blood has Force of Stars.
How can it be left by monsters?
Changsheng, after experiencing so much
Can't we find a way to change your destiny?
Qiushan came back.
Qiushan, Qiushan.
You're finally back safely.
You guys go ahead, I have to talk to Qiushan.
Yes. Yes.
Let's go.
Qiushan.
I have many questions
I hope that you have the answers.
Hanshi
I also have much to tell you.
We bumped into the students from Guojiao Academy.
Qijian has come back already
How is she now?
She was hurt badly, and still unconscious.
Students of Guojiao Academy are too petty.
Also, how many did we lose?
All the students made a cenotaph for Feibai and others who past away
In the Zhou Garden
Four students from Li-Shan Academy were murdered
It's all my fault, didn't protect them well.
But Hanshi, have you thought about
Entering the Zhou Garden is a secret of our Human clan.
The only key is in hands of the Empress.
In other words, the only way can enter into Zhou Garden.
But why did Demons arrive before us?
Arranged traps and killed so many of our disciples?
Where and how did they come in?
Have you thought about that?
Does seem a little odd.
Also, after we entered the Zhou Garden.
The entrance was closed immediately
We couldn't communicate with others.
And Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong's
whereabouts are still uncertain.
If there is nobody who colluded with Demons.
We can't explain the things that happened
Guojiao Academy is too suspicious.
I really hope I didn't see Chen Changsheng wrongly.
There were illusions inside the Garden.
Maybe he was bewitched by Demons. One collaborating with demons should be sentenced to death
This time, Guojiao Academy will be in trouble.
I hope Chen Changsheng can return to Sacred Capital soon.
And tell the truth.
If you want to invade Guojiao Academy
You have to go past me!
Where is Chen Changsheng?
Did he come back already?
And dare not come here?
Come out
Who is creating riot at the gate of Guojiao Academy?
Look
It's Tang Thirty-Sixth
It was Tang family that colluded with Demons All their property were confiscated
That's right.
There is no one good in Guojiao Academy.
They are all Spies. Hand out Chen Changsheng!
Who is that? What are you doing?
I'm warning you
Don't mess around.
This is the Sacred Captial, the law exists here.
Listen, you guys, if you dare to take one more step
Try me.
Qiushan, don't kill me.
I'm Qijian
Qiushan, Qiushan.
Qijian, you're finally awake.
Qijian, you should rest in bed.
This is the yard of Lishan Academy
You don't need worry
No. Don't kill me.
Don't kill me.
Qijian
Don't kill me.
Qijian.
Qiushan
Students of Li-Shan Academy shouldn't have gone
to Guojiao Academy to create chaos.
If Chen Changsheng is really a spy for demons.
He should be sentenced by the Empress
The emotions of our fellows are fully understandable.
After all, many peers were killed in the Zhou Garden.
Someone should give an explanation.
How about this, Hanshi.
How about you and I looking after them?
Qiushan, Hanshi.
What's happening?
Qijian, woke up.
Woke up?
How about now, can she speak?
She woke up, but then fainted again.
What should I do?
Here, Hanshi. You lead some disciples to stop those peers
who's causing a riot at Guojiao Academy.
I'll go have a look at Qijian.
Okay
She is the only student of Lishan Academy who knows
What I did in the Zhou Garden.
Cannot let her wake up.
No
What's wrong with me?
She is Qijian.
My little Shimei.
