Martial Universe (武动乾坤)

This spear is called the Ancient Earthly Scales Spear.

It's a high grade spirit treasure.

Its Dragon Spear form is extremely formidable.

Only the Nirvana Stage cultivator knew how to draw it out.

He sealed all three forms within the ancient spear.

Don't fret. I'll help you.

But remember, don't show such clemency next time.

Again!

Master Yan is training him even when he hasn't fully healed yet.

He really is dedicated to Lin Dong's training.

Again.

The Tower Battle is nearly upon us. We don't have much time left.

Where did Ling Qing Zhu go off to?

She left just like that?

Does she want to be the Emblem Protector or not?

If she doesn't want it...

Why is her Yuan Power so unstable?

She's supposed to be at the Yuan Dan Stage.

That's stronger than I am.

This shouldn't be happening.

Unless...

she was injured in the tomb?

Qing Zhu, is everything going smoothly?

I've done as Master Yan asked

and given the Destiny Soul Emblem to the successor.

It's just that the successor may not be able to handle this duty.

The successor's role is so important.

Master Yan is an advanced cultivator and has always been able to read people.

How could he be wrong this time?

It's hard for me to explain. Master Yan may have his own ideas.

Qing Zhu, take care of yourself too. Don't act strong all the time.

You look weak. Did something happen?

While I was protecting the successor...

my Yuan pill shattered and my cultivation regressed.

What? How could you let that happen?

It's bad enough that you pushed yourself to advance.

It's important to be cautious when your Yuan pill hasn't stabilized.

Do you realize that once your cultivation deteriorates...

it may never fully recover?

Her cultivation regressed?

I'm worried about what will happen to my mother

if my influence in the palace dwindles.

Senior Su, I need you to keep this a secret for now.

I'll figure something out.

Don't worry too much.

It is possible to condense your Yuan pill again.

You can slowly recover your cultivated powers.

I'll take care of your mother.

Thank you.

M-- Mistress.

You and Qing Zhu really are close.

You've begun to disregard the rules too.

What? Her Yuan pill shattered?

It's the successor's fault for being useless.

Qing Zhu was injured protecting him. I know how important this is...

so I wanted to go help her.

Girls don't have to act so strong.

The successor is useless?

Even if he is, it's her duty to protect him!

But Mistress! What's done is done.

We need to figure something out.

The duty of the Emblem Protector

is to protect the successor at all costs.

Even if she gets hurt, it is to be done without regret.

Since Ling Qing Zhu has been defeated...

she must give up her position.

We're all born the same way.

Why is she so pretty?

How are her eyelashes so long?

And her lips are like a cherry.

- Huan Huan. - I-- I wasn't peeking at your training!

It's just that I noticed your footing was weak.

I was curious. If I hadn't followed you...

you'd have been eaten by the creatures of the forest!

Did you nurse my wound?

What, you think that bum Lin Dong would have?

Ying Huan Huan!

Never mind.

But you should go back to the palace since your Yuan pill shattered.

Nothing good will come out of going on like this.

Why aren't you going back home?

If I do, who's going to protect Lin Dong?

- I'm the Emblem Protector. - Idiot!

What's more important, your dignity or your life?

You don't even know if you can get through this in one piece!

I have more important things to do. I can't leave.

Getting the Yimo, right?

And Lin Dong is so obsessed with you!

- If he knew-- - Don't tell him.

I don't care about you two!

Just so you know...

I've already fixed your obstructed meridians.

Go ask Master Yan for some elixirs and you should be fine.

As for your Yuan pill... it can be condensed again.

The forward path is expansive, there's no need to fret.

Junior Ying, thank you.

I'm not helping you. I'm helping Lin Dong!

He says that in trying times, we're friends.

I have to live up to that.

As for you...

I don't want to see you crippled just like that.

I'm waiting for the chance to duel with you again.

Fight!

Nice!

Nice, Lin Dong!

Amazing!

Great!

Watch out!

Lin Dong!

Yes, get him!

That was brilliant!

Watch out!

Lin Dong, you lost again.

Boring.

That's why I told you, the world is dangerous!

How can you fight enemies without a brain?

The fairy maiden doesn't have as many tricks up her sleeve as you do.

That's why she has to suffer your antics all the time.

It's about to rain, go on. You have to memorize talismans now.

What?

- Lin Dong! - I win this time!

Nice!

What's the matter? Are you being a sore loser?

You got my clothes dirty!

Lin Dong, the tigress is here.

What do you mean?

Another female tiger has come.

I... I... Palace Mistress Shen Qing, this was my fault.

- I-- I-- - Quiet.

This is Nine Heavens Purity Palace's business.

It isn't your concern.

I know I made a mistake. Please give me another chance.

- Yes, another chance! - Shut your mouth!

You're certainly quick to admit your errors this time.

But being Emblem Protector isn't child's play.

Your cultivation has suffered a huge loss.

There's no reason for you to remain here.

You are to return to the palace immediately.

Palace Mistress Shen.

Isn't that too cruel of you?

You're more concerned with sending your disciple away

than helping with her injuries?

Lady Ying.

The only reason we at Nine Heavens Purity Palace cultivate

is for the sake of protecting the Emblem Ancestor's successor.

If I don't find someone to replace Ling Qing Zhu

do you plan on being... responsible for Lin Dong's safety?

What do you mean?

Fine! Who's afraid of whom?

Junior Ying, just stay out of this!

All right.

Your Yuan pill shattering isn't a trivial matter.

- Just go back with Mistress-- - I can't go back!

Ling Qing Zhu!

Mistress, I know I'm not capable of being a worthy Emblem Protector.

But I'm just as incapable of accepting defeat like this.

Please give me three days.

If I can't fix my Yuan pill... I'll accept my fate.

Ling Qing Zhu!

Fairy Maiden! What's the matter?

Pretty doll, stuff your ears and turn around.

Shen Qing!

It's been so many years. Your temper hasn't changed one bit!

It's not like yours has changed either.

Master Yan.

It appears... to be raining outside.

Fairy Maiden.

Maiden!

I'm sorry.

I doubt I'll be able to guard you in the future.

Our paths... diverge here.

This is between the two of them.

Did Lin Dong do something to her?

Are her tears bitter?

They're salty!

Let's leave him be.

You two are such martyrs!

Why didn't you tell me earlier, when you knew?

If I had, wouldn't you have given the Nirvana Heart to her?

Don't tell me you're actually planning on doing it!

Savage girl, is that Heart of Desire mirror with you?

Yes.

But... what do you want it for?

She says that our paths diverge now.

I have to prove her wrong!

Are you an idiot?

Ling Qing Zhu came here to kill the Yimo!

You think she did all that for your sake?

- I'm not letting you borrow it. - Fine then.

I won't borrow anything from you ever again.

Take it! But I'm telling you...

the mirror won't help you!

It's only capable of showing me and you!

Am I a fool? Am I a total fool?
