Legend of the Book

Mei'er?

What is it?

It's nothing.

Master, we've been laying here for ages.

My hands are cramping.

What's poking me?

Master, do you hear something strange?

Growling... of my hungry stomach!

That's not it.

Come on.

Master, you tricked me again.

Hurry up!

Fine.

Golden Radiance Array! Demon, begone! Swift as imperial law!

I'll hack you to death!

Don't be afraid! Slay it!

Master, I did a decent job, right?

Just so-so. You still need more practice.

Senior brother! Senior brother!

Step forward.

I see, you have unsettled grievances.

Who are you?

Under the Nine Heavens,

above the Nine Earths,

the gods favor the dark feathers.

Resentment gathers and comes to life.

I'm called Jiuyou. The King of Demons.

The King of Demons?

You're a demon! What do you want?

It's not what I want.

It's what do you want?

I am your innermost being.

Dan Sheng is your target.

Dan Sheng?

You know everything?

I'm omniscient, there's nothing I don't know.

Go on your way. Go on your way.

Kill Dan Sheng.

Eat his heart.

Only then, you can restore your human form forever.

Go on your way.

Go! You will even gain supreme divine power.

That's what you've dreamed of.

I ended up here because I tried to obtain the Book of Heaven.

I'll strip you of your cultivation! You will never commit evil again!

It starts with a birth.

The Book of Heaven is in this heavenly fetus.

Dan Sheng has the Book of Heaven.

How am I supposed to defeat him?

The Book of Heaven?

The Book of Heaven has been sealed in Baiyun Cave.

If you want to gain divine powers and kill Dan Sheng who ruined you,

you should abide by my guidance.

You're a demon! Why should I abide by you?

Eat Dan Sheng's heart.

You'll be killing two birds with one stone. It'll be great.

I don't believe you.

No.

A demon.

I am the demon in your heart.

You'll come back.

I'll be waiting for you.

Come on.

Submit to me.

So, you've been driven here by humans.

Be my followers.

I'll help all of you!

Mei'er!

Be quiet.

Master, what are you doing this time?

Master!

You're doing experiments on me again.

What is it today?

Be quiet.

The water breathing technique.

No wonder I couldn't breathe.

I keep having nightmares recently. It's all your fault!

It's not my fault.

Who's fault is it then?

Move aside.

I'm going to take a bath.

You...

Nightmares?

What are you doing?

I'll help you grind them down.

No, I don't bite.

You don't bite, but others will assume that you do.

Big Sister, there aren't any strangers here.

Everyday, you refuse to let me leave the mountain.

If I'm going to bite... I'll bite you.

Naughty child.

How dare you bite me.

Tell me.

Why did you get so serious? I better not tell you.

I understand even without you telling me.

You miss Mei'er, right?

No way! I don't!

What's the point of missing her?

Mei'er is dead.

I'm wondering why I always have the same nightmare.

Mei'er wouldn't die so easily.

I already resurrected her using the resurrection spell.

What? Mei'er isn't dead?

- Mei'er! - Can't you lower your voice? Don't scare the fish away.

What's your issue? Why are you only telling me this now?

Let's make this clear.

I told you ages ago, but you refused to listen. Why are you blaming me?

Master, I want to...

Stop murmuring. You've been cultivating with me for years.

You still can't let go of many mortal longings.

You should leave.

Master, are you abandoning me?

I want you to gain experience on your own!

- Okay! - Keep this in mind.

You have to go to Qingxin Temple and uncover the reason for your nightmares.

That's what really matters!

Why Qingxin Temple?

A few decades ago...

No, centuries ago...

I can't remember anymore!

Anyway, look for Master Fangzhang Xuzhen.

I'll go find Mei'er first then.

Mei'er!

Big Sister!

Big Sister, did you hear someone calling my name?

That was me.

But...

All right.

Are you upset again?

Do you want to leave the mountain and have fun?

No.

Then are you craving sugar figures?

No—

A little.

Goodness.

We've been cultivating here for a long time.

I understand your pain, but we still have to follow the path of cultivation.

Big Sister, we've finished reading all our scriptures.

I'll go to the temple and ask for more.

Are you being serious?

You're not lying to me?

Big Sister, I'm not lying!

Since you're going to ask for scriptures,

make it a swift trip.

Yes, Big Sister.

"Karma comes and goes, karma gathers and disperses,

karma arises, and karma falls and perishes.

Laws originate from fate, all is fate."

I wonder if Dan Sheng and I are still fated to meet.

It's another hallucination.

Dan Sheng, it's really you.

Mei'er, you're really alive.

What took you so long? I thought you'd forgotten me long ago.

How is that possible?

I miss you all day and night! You're always on my mind!

What brings you two benefactors here?

Oh, there's someone here.

Master, I'm looking for Master Xuzhen.

You must be making a joke.

Master Xuzhen is my ancestor. He has passed away long ago.

Miss, are you here for scriptures?

Yes, I've been here before.

Please wait for a moment.

The Book of Heaven.

Oh no, someone has laid their hands on the Book of Heaven.

Chu'er?

So, you still remember me after so long.

Are you trying to steal the Book of Heaven again?

You won't succeed this time.

That depends on if you can stop me.

Muster! Summon!

Attack!

- Big Sister, are you okay? - Mei'er.

Dan Sheng?

Don't be afraid. Leave this to me.

Enigmatic Four Fingers! Lightning troops! Swift as imperial law!

Not you again, Dan Sheng!

That's strange. I already stripped you of your divine powers.

You shouldn't be able to take on human form.

Cut the nonsense. Kill me if you want.

You refuse to repent after your numerous sins. I can't let you off the hook again.

He escaped.

Dan Sheng, you're so impressive.

I'm just so-so.

Ever since I started cultivating with my master, I've been making progress every day.

That's rare. Thank goodness you came in time.

Chu'er almost got a hold of the Book of Heaven again.

Gods, hear me! May the Book of Heaven return to its rightful place! Swift as imperial law!

I've used the Big Dipper technique to reinforce the Book of Heaven's seal.

Even ten Chu'er's can't break it now.

Chu'er.

I ruined him.

We're borrowing the Book of Heaven for our cultivation.

Harming others will only foil your cultivation.

You've resorted to wicked and harmful means just to obtain the Book of Heaven.

Our ties end here.

If I hadn't coveted the Book of Heaven,

he wouldn't be so misguided now.

Big Sister.

Let's not talk about this.
