You're actually...
Imperial Priestess Feng Tian who guards Sacred Snow Mountain?
Fine!
I will have you admit defeat willingly!
Fine!
You... you cheated!
Granny, could you let us through?
If you wish to move forward
you have to defeat me!
[Episode 44]
Be careful.
New sword fairies are created
when The Deicide tastes the blood of immortals.
Ying Kong Shi?
Shi?
What is going on?
Why would the sword fairy be Ying Kong Shi?
When Li Luo received the power of the Will of The Fallen
didn't she eliminate all the sword fairies?
Could it be that after The Deicide take the lives of immortals
it continues to create sword fairies?
There isn't any other sword fairy.
There are no other hosts living in The Deicide.
A part of Ying Kong Shi's soul has taken refuge on The Deicide.
That's why a new sword fairy was created.
Hey. Are you done with all this long-winded chatting?
Who woke me up?
Did you get me anything tasty?
Shi...
I didn't expect to see you in such a manner...
You?
Yes.
I'm your brother.
Shi?
What is Shi?
Shi...
Ying Kong Shi.
That's your name.
Listen. I'm a sword fairy.
I don't have a name.
Listen up. Do you know what price you have to pay for waking me up?
What are you laughing at, old woman?
You are but a tiny sword fairy now.
There's nothing you can do now.
A tiny sword fairy?
Don't you know that The Deicide's sword fairies are the most powerful ones?
We kill all men and gobble up souls of immortals.
We can also kill apparitions!
The previous sword fairies who dwelt in The Deicide
were created by the resentment of immortals killed by it.
That was why they made the sword so powerful.
However, you're the only fairy left in The Deicide now.
You're but a new and weak sword fairy.
When you become powerful, you can take my life whenever.
All right, then.
I've kept that in mind, arrogant fellow.
If there's nothing else to be done, I'm heading back to get some sleep.
Ying Kong Shi, I knew that we'd meet again.
Granny, you were defeated.
Please keep your promise and let us through.
Blood-red lotus shall bloom soon.
The twin stars will eventually meet.
The wheel of destiny has started spinning.
And my destiny was to wait here for you.
Step aside!
Be careful! Protect His Majesty!
- I'll attack if she hurts the king! - No!
She is transferring her immortal powers to His Majesty.
Granny! Granny!
Granny...
- Granny! - Granny!
Granny...
Granny, why would you do that?
As the Imperial Priestess of Sacred Snow Mountain
I have been waiting here for years.
However, the day I dreaded most has finally arrived.
Ka Suo...
I could either block your path with whatever method I could manage...
or do everything I could to ensure your safe return.
Granny...
Why are you the Imperial Priestess of Sacred Snow Mountain?
How many more secrets have you kept from me?
When you were just born
you were down with a very severe illness.
Even the best magical healer in the Ice Tribe couldn't cure you.
The Seven Saints also said that you didn't have long to live.
Your parents were very upset.
They could only prolong your life by transferring immortal powers to you.
There were already other siblings before you.
Your grandfather told us to give up on you.
However, my Spiritual Eye saw what others could not.
Perhaps it was the aura on you, or my kindred feelings for you
that enabled me to see that your future
was tied to the survival of our tribe.
I knew that only the Will of The Fallen could save you.
I violated the rules and entered the imperial library
to summon Will of The Fallen.
The first land of the immortals?
It was then that I learned of the immortals' first land
Sacred Snow Mountain.
The Will of The Fallen is a magical power left behind by the ancient gods.
However, such magical powers cannot be regulated.
Its demolishing powers are too overwhelming.
It causes damage to life forms.
After the King of Ice, She Mi, fled to the new world with our people
he didn't wish to see the tragedy of Sacred Snow Mountain repeat itself.
Hence, he made pacts with all the other tribes
to make the Will of The Fallen's magical power a prohibited force.
Anyone who used it would have to be exiled to the northern border.
The Will of The Fallen guided me toward Prisoner's Rock Island.
It made me wait for what destiny had planned for me.
I'm the god of all gods.
Did the Will of The Fallen lead you here to see me?
God of all gods.
Please tell me the way to Sacred Snow Mountain.
The entrance to Sacred Snow Mountain is deep under Infinity Ocean.
You can't get there without a Teardrop Charm.
What should I do?
How should I search for a Teardrop Charm?
My little Prince Ka Suo won't survive without water
from the lake in Sacred Snow Mountain.
I can guide you to Sacred Snow Mountain without the Teardrop Charm
and give you water from its lake.
However, you have to agree to my terms.
What are your terms?
You're the most powerful goddess of the Ice Tribe.
I want you to be the Imperial Priestess of Sacred Snow Mountain.
Whoever invades Sacred Snow Mountain, you must risk your life to stop them.
All right! I can promise you that!
At that moment, all I thought about was saving your life.
I knew nothing of the god who made the pact with me.
Little did I know that I'd have to fend you off in the future.
My Ka Suo...
This is the evidence of the pact made between me and Yuan Ji.
As long as anyone tried to invade Sacred Snow Mountain
both my physical form and soul would be restricted by my scepter
to be brought back here and fend off the invaders.
Granny had no other choice...
Granny, why didn't you tell us the truth earlier?
We have all misunderstood you.
Granny, we didn't have to fight against each other.
There might've been another way.
The pact stated that I was not to reveal my true identity.
Unless I was defeated.
Only then would the pact break.
Ka Suo.
My Fallen Star Scepter carries immortal power
that I accumulated over thousands of years.
This is all I could do to help you.
Granny... you sacrificed so much for me.
You changed my destiny.
Ka Suo...
My little prince...
The best gift from destiny was to see you grow up healthy and well.
What will happen to Granny now that the pact is broken?
Imperial Priestess Feng Tian shall no longer be an immortal!
Granny?
Granny!
Granny?
- Granny! - Granny!
Granny transferred all of her immortal powers to the king.
Not only has she lost her immortal powers
but also her identity as an immortal.
Granny isn't an immortal anymore?
She is a mortal now?
No! In my mind you are always the first...
No, you're always the second best goddess in my mind.
Granny...
How could I feel at ease?
Let me take you home.
You mustn't dilly-dally any longer.
I will be fine after getting some rest.
Don't worry about me.
Now that you have come so far, you must get to Sacred Snow Mountain.
Blood-red lotus shall bloom soon.
The twin stars will eventually meet.
The wheel of destiny has started spinning.
Ka Suo...
Face your destiny with courage.
I promise you that I will return to Snowmist Forest.
I will be just fine.
Hurry along and do what you should.
Granny...
Luna, why aren't you in bed yet?
How is Xing Jiu's injury?
His condition is stable now.
I'll see how he fares tomorrow.
Luna, I...
- Can I ask you a question? - No.
I killed my sister.
Yue Zhao is dead?
That can't be true. Isn't she alive and well?
But I'm curious about a matter.
Why... why would she hate you so deeply?
That wasn't Yue Zhao.
That was Yue Zhao's younger twin sister, Yue Leng.
Both Yue Zhao and Yue Leng have always been outstanding.
They inherited our parents' gift of healing powers.
But I turned out to be the freak.
You're not a freak!
You... you were just born with a bit of a malicious aura.
Indeed. Someone like me could never practice medicine.
Therefore, my parents sent me to the toxin healer to study poisons
and learn the skills of assassination.
But I never wanted to study poisons.
I wanted to study medicine with my sisters.
I often sneaked back home.
Yue Leng had always been very close to me.
She always tried to talk my parents out of forcing me to go.
She hoped that I could stay by her side.
Even if I couldn't make a living, she would always look after me.
She loved me more than my parents did.
No one else in this world loves me as much as she did.
How did Yue Leng die?
A man was obsessed with her.
He proposed to her.
However, Yue Leng turned him down.
Little did we know that he was actually a skilled assassin.
His love for her turned into hatred.
He sneaked up on my sister and killed her.
I didn't even know how she was poisoned, and with what.
I could only watch helplessly as she collapsed before my eyes
and died for nothing.
I had deep regrets at that moment.
If only I had mastered the skills of assassination
I could have perhaps prevented the murder of my sister.
So you ended up learning the skills of assassination, right?
I didn't want to look on helplessly again
when the person I loved was in danger.
I don't want to see him die before my eyes.
I thought that I was already immune to all poisons.
However...
it seems that I'm still not strong enough.
I'm still in need of help from others.
Everyone has his or her own obstacle.
You assassinate villains.
That means you save the good people.
You're already a great healer.
Your sister wouldn't blame you.
You have fulfilled her wish.
She would be proud of you.
Stop blaming yourself for what happened to your father.
Not only do you save lives
but you also saved the entire tribe of The Healers and other immortal tribes.
What you contributed to everyone is enough to atone for your father's sins.
Sword fairy, come out here.
Shi, come out here.
Have you sneaked out again to play?
You're still the child you once were.
You're always so playful.
Ying Kong Shi!
I already told you that we would surely meet again.
Who are you?
What? You don't remember Yan Da?
Yan Da?
What exactly is Yan Da?
Is that edible?
Hey! How dare you try to mess around with me?
Don't you know that I'm a sword fairy?
Open up your mouth.
What are you going to do?
Shut up.
Open it up if I tell you to do so.
I just shared a bit of my soul with you.
How is it? Do you feel quite awesome?
It's quite fun!
Hey! Thank you!
My name isn't "Hey."
I do have a name.
What is it then?
My name is Yan Da.
So your name is Hey Yan Da?
Thank you so much.
Why don't you give me a bit more of your soul if it is that good?
I'd like to share a bit more with you as well
but I've already given you some today.
I can't give you more.
Why are you so petty?
How about this?
I will gobble you up!
Give me all of your soul so I can become stronger!
Give me all of your soul now!
Look at you. What a heartless little chap.
You still treat me so even after becoming a tiny sword fairy?
You used me and bullied me when you were a god.
Now, you're even being ungrateful?
Did I hurt you a lot just now?
I don't want to talk to you.
You can't ignore me.
I'm your best friend in the world now.
Moreover, I'm the only one who likes to play with you.
All right then, you can play with me.
Come up here.
This is so much fun!
Ying Kong Shi, you treat me so much better now than you did before.
If it's possible, I'd like to keep playing with you just like this.
We'll smile together.
Xing Jiu is very badly wounded.
We have to send him back to our realm.
Your Majesty, I can still bear it.
You find the pain bearable because I gave you the strongest painkiller.
Once it loses its effect you'll surely be in agony.
I could only use a very special medication on you
because of your physical form.
However, the medication is only kept in The Healers' drug cabinet.
I can keep taking the painkillers.
This painkiller is poisonous and can take your life when used heavily.
Moreover, I don't have a lot with me.
Your Majesty, I really can bear it.
Xing Jiu, Granny will be heading home soon.
You should leave with her.
But... the journey ahead is perilous.
I can foresee dangers and obstacles for you.
We are still a great distance to Sacred Snow Mountain.
You will only get yourself killed if you insist on joining us.
That's right, Your Lordship.
Find another Dreamweaver to take your place.
He's right.
I'm the most skilled in dream weaving in the entire tribe.
What about me?
Xing Gui?
What are you doing here?
Go home now!
I finally got to The Mermaids and borrowed a Teardrop Charm
from Mermaid Saint to come here.
I'm sorry, Xing Jiu.
I shouldn't have said that I hated you.
Should any misfortune have come upon you
those would have been the last words I said to you.
Fortunately, I am still in time to make things right.
It's time for you to head home.
I don't care if you hate me or not.
I just want you to live safe and sound.
So do I!
Since you left, I've been working hard on practicing my magical powers.
I'm now even more qualified to be the king's dream weaver.
Xing Jiu, I'm sending you home along with Xing Gui.
No!
That depends if you can do so.
I can only resort to extreme measures in times of crisis.
Your Majesty, you must choose between me and Xing Jiu.
Please make your choice now.
Your Majesty!
Xing Gui is my dearest family.
Send her home.
I will stay behind.
I don't know how the future will be.
All I know is that if I choose not to save you now
you will have no future.
Your Majesty...
Xing Jiu...
I will risk my life to protect Xing Gui.
Sleep now... Xing Jiu.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Granny, here.
Granny.
My tribesmen will be at the coast to receive you and my brother.
Granny, return home with ease.
Don't worry about me.
Ka Suo, Sacred Snow Mountain might seem identical to Snowblade City
but it is totally different from how things are in our realm.
The sky and land are reversed.
Reality and illusion are inverted.
There is neither fairness nor justice.
It's impermanent and unfeeling.
Trust no one.
Don't trust what you see and hear.
Guard your heart against any bewitching.
Bear this in mind.
There's nothing to gain or lose.
There's neither death nor life.
I understand.
Granny, how should we proceed?
Keep going toward the east.
You need to defeat the Four Guardians to break the enchantment shield.
Only then will you be able to meet Yuan Ji.
Only he will know where the Veiled Lotus is.
Thank you, Granny.
We shall meet again.
Goodbye, Granny.
Ka Suo has already arrived at Sacred Snow Mountain!
Did you know?
I do.
They defeated my entrance guard Imperial Priestess Feng Tian.
Why would you have Feng Tian as your Imperial Priestess?
She is Ka Suo's grandmother.
She surely would let them off!
Isn't it interesting to watch the Ice Tribe fight among themselves?
Ka Suo nearly killed his own grandmother. Is that not fun?
I don't know what goes on in your mind.
Ka Suo killed our son.
Why didn't you kill him immediately to avenge our son?
Don't be anxious.
Feng Tian is just the first gift they'll receive.
Look.
They are heading toward Demolisher White Tiger’s Holy Hall.
Xing Gui, can you make it?
I'm all right.
Xing Gui, I'll carry you.
Your Majesty, that won't do.
I made a promise to your brother to look after you.
Exactly.
I'm worried that your brother would give us nightmares out of revenge.
Your Majesty, let me carry her instead.
The Demolisher has already been awakened.
What She Mi and the tribes did to me 10,000 years ago
and the murder of my son
will be avenged by unleashing revenge upon their descendants.
Once the Veiled Lotus blooms
all shall be destroyed in the world.
In this world, only the god of all gods will remain.
Let's get some rest here for the night and carry on with the journey tomorrow.
Sure.
Xing Gui, Chao Ya, and Luna, you will stay in this tent.
We will take the other one.
Huang Tuo, why didn't you prepare a bigger tent?
Four grown men in one tent...
Isn't that a bit too...
I had to pack my medical kit with me
so the rest of my gear had to be simple.
It's fine.
The three of you stay in the tent. I can sleep outdoors.
Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to sleep outdoors alone?
Don't worry. I'm a wild bear.
I feel at ease sleeping out in the wild.
All right, then.
I'll make sure you have a nice bed of leaves so you can sleep better.
It's you. You gave me a fright.
I'm here to ask you a question.
Why is your inner demon me?
That's all in the past now. What's there to say about my demons?
- Don't bring it up. - I like Chao Ya.
You knew it all along, didn't you?
Yes.
I know that you and Chao Ya are childhood sweethearts.
However, Queen Chi Lian told me that she didn't want Chao Ya to marry you.
She encouraged me to court Chao Ya.
But I couldn't snatch away the beloved of another shamelessly.
That was why I only courted her openly after you left the tribe.
Why would you fear me if you courted her openly?
I do not fear you!
I just don't have confidence in myself.
I don't know if Chao Ya would still pick me
if we chose to compete for her hand.
Will I still be in her favor?
There is no "if" in this world.
There is only one conclusion.
Bring it on!
Stop fighting!
Why are you both acting like children?
Liao Jian, are you all right?
I'm fine.
It's Huang Tuo!
Huang Tuo! Are you all right?
Who are you?
Don't come any closer!
Don't come closer!
Who are you?
Don't go near him!
It's dangerous.
He's hurt.
Wake up.
Wake up!
Let me go!
Who are you?
Are you going to tell us or not?
Don't do that! He's hurt.
I know that you're curious about your wound being bandaged.
Our young Princess Xing Gui told me to do so.
Moreover, it's my duty to save lives.
Who are you?
Who wounded you?
My name is Qing Long.
I'm the East Guardian.
You're the East Guardian?
Judging by how shabby you are, you can't even fend for yourself.
How can you protect Sacred Snow Mountain?
If you truly are a guardian god
you should be held in a prestigious position.
Apart from Yuan Ji, who could possibly hurt you?
It seems that you're all outsiders.
You don't know anything about Sacred Snow Mountain at all.
It's no wonder that you've asked such an ignorant question.
Would you like a few more wounds?
Do you think that the Four Guardians are friends who look out for one another?
That's so naive of you.
The one rule in Sacred Snow Mountain is the survival of the fittest.
Winner takes all.
The fittest gets to become a guardian god.
All Four Guardians would fight and scheme against each other.
West Guardian, Qin Ren has always coveted my eastern region.
So, Qin Ren is now the East Guardian of Sacred Snow Mountain?
That's exactly right.
He has already taken over Demolisher White Tiger's Holy Hall.
Please take us to Qin Ren.
You must be out of your minds.
He will surely have you killed!
Moreover, why would you seek him out?
We're looking for Yuan Ji so we need to get through his hall.
However, we failed to find the entrance after a day in the woods.
Apart from His Holiness Yuan Ji, Qin Ren is the most powerful god.
He can move mountains and clouds with a wave of his hands.
He can have your souls vanquished in just one stance.
I barely escaped from his clutches.
I won't go back to him!
You can go there, but I won't go with you!
You have to come with us, however unwillingly!
Otherwise, I'll take your life now!
The entrance to Demolisher White Tiger's Holy Hall is right here.
There aren't any palace halls here! Do you think that we're blind?
All halls of the guardian gods are protected by an enchantment shield.
Apart from guardian gods, no one can see the palace halls.
Have we just come here for nothing?
You may enter if you're invited.
Should we get some gifts before we visit him?
We can ask him where the entrance is.
Are we to keep waiting out here until Qin Ren leaves his hall?
Qing Long, you surely have a way to let us in there, right?
Reach out your hands.
