Martial Universe (武动乾坤)

If you really care for her...

you should accept that she has the responsibility to bear this destiny.

Is destiny even more difficult to overcome than the Yimo?

The Great Desolate Scripture is the most extraordinary technique.

No one has ever deciphered it in all these years.

Except Zhou Tong?

How can I learn it?

The martial arts hall at the end of Desolate Hall.

Who is this elder? How is he so powerful?

I'm not sure either. He's been here for a long time.

His martial arts is even more advanced than Sect Master Ying's.

Maybe you aren't fated for this.

Why are this sect's rules so bizarre?

Desolate Hall disciples can't learn Desolate Hall techniques

and there's even such a powerful elder guarding the entrance.

All this is really just to defend against Zhou Tong?

Maybe the elder is right.

You can't learn the Great Desolate Scripture with your current abilities.

How dare you try to get the Great Desolate Scripture?

Who do you think you are? Do you have the right? Do you?

Lin Dong, must you do this?

The scripture is the only way I can beat Zhou Tong.

You're all my most trusted comrades and friends in the sect.

You all know why I'm doing this.

You're not going to quit, are you, Lin Dong?

All right. I'll help you just because you're so determined.

Lin Dong!

Even if all four of us go, we might not be able to handle that elder!

- What does Senior Jiang Hao think? - I'd like to ask you that!

You can't beat Zhou Tong yourself and want us to take the risk with you?

Don't tell me none of you are interested in the Great Desolate Scripture.

We're all martial artists.

We're in the Dao Sect now.

Don't you want to learn some upper level martial arts?

If not, I won't force anyone.

Senior Tong! Senior Tong!

Your heart isn't made of iron.

If you want more Yang Yuan pills

I'll get someone to ask my father to deliver more. Just help Lin Dong!

Senior Lin!

Senior Lin?

Senior Lin!

What are you doing here?

Do you really have a handle on this?

I asked around. This elder disappears for one day every month.

This is the best day to enter the martial arts hall.

Are you sure it's today?

Never mind that. Come with me.

Lin Dong! Senior Lin!

He really isn't here.

But could he be waiting for us inside?

We'll find out when we go in.

- Worst case, we get kicked out. - All right.

The Dao Sect really is a 1,000 year old Great Sect.

Yes.

The power emanating from these stone tablets

far exceeds the Great Desolation Tablet in Great Puppet City.

I heard them say

that the elder that created the Great Desolate Scripture

turned the martial arts section into four stone tablets.

He called it them the Desolate Stones.

"Great Desolate Body."

"Formidable Celestial Fist."

"Great Yin Eclipse Sword."

"Yin Eclipse Sword."

Why has this stone been covered?

Lin Dong, the Great Desolate Scripture's moves are carved here!

If so, why is there a huge beast sealed inside?

You're tenacious.

You will suffer for not listening to me.

Now you should believe me, right?

Elder, what is going on?

Do you know why Desolate Hall is called "desolate"?

Definitely must be because of the Great Desolate Scripture.

You're being too literal and not understanding.

In ancient times

there was a strange beast that used wind power to torment the mortal realm.

Its name was "Desolation."

I understand now.

- It's the beast on the stone. - Shut your mouth!

If you want to know what's going on, don't interrupt.

An ancient expert wanted prestige

so he sought to be on par with the wind.

He managed to capture Desolation

and turned it into the four martial arts of the Great Desolate Scripture.

If you want to study the scripture

first you have to withstand the Desolation Stone's wind.

We were blown out by the wind even though we were joining our power.

Zhou Tong fought the wind all by himself?

He also deciphered three of the martial arts on his own.

Three of them?

He truly was a rare genius.

- Then the fourth one... - You haven't even learned one.

What does the fourth one have to do with you?

I can learn all four of them.

That's quite pompous.

- How do you intend to manage that? - You'll teach me.

Why should I?

You'd be willing to let someone as tenacious as me go?

Even if I could teach you...

you'll just be ripped to shreds by the wind if you try to enter the stone again.

Elder, please give me another chance. If Zhou Tong can do it, then so can I.

Not necessarily.

Elder, the only person who knows the scripture is a traitor!

If Lin Dong can't learn it, isn't that a crime against the world?

All right then. But I have some conditions.

I don't care if you call me "Elder" or "old man."

But you are not to call me "Master."

I don't want to be mentioned in the same sentence as Ying Xuan Zi.

Blindfold yourself. Do not look.

Shut your mouth, don't speak.

All you're permitted to do is listen.

- They seem to be blades! - The first move...

Formidable Celestial Fist.

Listen to the wind!

The key to this move isn't physical speed

but to move with the wind.

Catch your enemy by surprise by attacking before they notice anything.

Uncle Master.

I didn't expect a tiny disturbance in the martial arts hall

to bring the sect master.

I heard one of my disciples came to bother you

so I came to take a look.

The only thing you know how to do is choose the right disciples.

Lin Dong must have a lot of potential to be able to train with you.

Not necessarily.

Disciples with potential must be cherished.

Otherwise, the child from back then

wouldn't have fallen to where he is today.

Uncle Master, please give Lin Dong your guidance.

He has a huge responsibility and nothing can go wrong.

That depends on himself and his own luck.

The second move: Great Desolate Body.

Use it to fight the wind.

You are not to use the Ancestral Emblem's power

but you can't face it straight on either.

Try to feel the wind using your body.

Become one with the wind!

What is it?

- Can you still bear it? - Just about!

I happen to be extremely ambitious!

The third move: Great Yin Eclipse Sword!

If you master this move, you will reach the wind's speed.

Come. Use the sword to catch up to the speed of the wind.

Elder... you want me to use this sword to catch up to the speed of the wind?

Zhou Tong beat you to a pulp using a sword such as this.

The first thing you must do isn't to catch up to the speed of the wind.

Neither is it to catch up to the speed of the sword.

First you must catch up to your own speed.

Your legs still aren't fast enough.

Such intense power!

Elder, teach me the fourth move!

Lin Dong, you nearly caused a huge problem just now.

Elder! I just... I just wanted to know what the fourth move was.

I know what you wanted.

Never mind.

Elder, Elder!

When that light shone through earlier, I...

I...

I think... I felt the presence of an Yimo.

Your instincts are very attuned. Perhaps this is your talent.

Then I'll have you know that the Yimo's Third Seat King is sealed in here.

Third Seat King?

It wields the power of wind and is so fast that it doesn't have a shadow.

The only thing that controls the wind--

is the Great Desolate Scripture.
