Martial Universe (武动乾坤)

Just follow my methods and use those two talismans.

Child, he's trying to steal your stone talisman!

Greetings, new Guild Master of Emblem Master Guild.

Old man, you can draw too?

If I'm not mistaken...

this tells of the Great World War between the Emblem Ancestor and the Yimo Emperor.

Correct.

That's not right. Wasn't the Yimo killed in Qingyang?

- What is this emperor? - There is more than one Yimo.

And more than one Ancestral Emblem.

Guild Master.

I'm going to send you somewhere.

I manifested this spirit domain for the two of you.

Please close your eyes and leave your worries behind.

The ancient history of the Emblem Master Guild will appear before you.

Wait.

Give me your hand.

Many centuries ago...

the Emblem Ancestor learned of the way to cultivate Spiritual Energy.

In doing so, he unintentionally opened a dimensional gate.

The Yimo used the opportunity to descend from the alternate dimension.

They plundered the world for power, and calamity ensued.

The Emblem Ancestor led eight of his disciples to fight the Yimo.

They created the eight Ancestral Emblems using the laws of Heaven and Earth.

They are as follows...

The Absorption Ancestral Emblem.

The Ice Ancestral Emblem.

The Space Ancestral Emblem.

The Flame Ancestral Emblem.

The Darkness Ancestral Emblem.

The Thunderbolt Ancestral Emblem.

The Chaos Ancestral Emblem.

And the Life and Death Ancestral Emblem.

The Emblem Ancestor and his eight disciples

perished in the effort to seal the Yimo.

The eight Ancestral Emblems were scattered throughout the world.

Their whereabouts are unknown.

Throughout the centuries, the Emblem Masters have kept watch over the Yimo.

They have also been on the hunt for the eight Ancestral Emblems

so that they may guard the world against the return of the Yimo.

Guild Master, do you understand your duty now?

I do.

I must lead Emblem Master Guild to go up against the Yimo.

If there comes one, we kill one. If there comes a pair, we kill a pair.

Just as the Emblem Ancestor and his eight heroic disciples did then.

- That's the gist, right? - Exactly.

I thought it was something bigger.

It's just killing the Yimo.

Even if I have to offer up my life, I won't let the Yimo strut around.

- What did I just say? - You wouldn't let the Yimo strut.

Not that.

If there comes one, we kill one!

If there comes a pair, we kill a pair!

Right?

- Beautiful! - In your dreams.

I quit! You can be Guild Master!

Forget a pair! I can't even deal with half a Yimo!

Whoever wants to do it can go right ahead!

Master Yan!

Master Yan!

I warned you before! You can't rely on him!

He's just got... a bit of a childish temperament.

Master Yan!

- He's just a charlatan! - A charlatan?

That's easy enough to handle.

Master Yan!

Swindler... he really is a swindler.

An old swindler!

Qing Tan! Come on, we're going home.

Lots of people outside!

Who on earth are they?

They're all Emblem Masters from our guild.

They remained hidden in the world prior to the successor's appearance.

You're Guild Master now. They follow your command.

They listen to me?

- I don't even know what orders to give! - Didn't you say it perfectly just now?

Even if you must offer up your life, you won't let the Yimo strut around!

That was me... me...

Old man... who doesn't know how to weave pleasant words?

It's different when it comes from the Guild Master's mouth.

You-- You're really forcing me into a corner!

Master Yan, you certainly resemble the Emblem Ancestor in the illustrations.

You should take on this responsibility.

There is only one Emblem Ancestor, and he's gone.

Only one who possesses an Ancestral Emblem can be Guild Master.

Aren't there eight Ancestral Emblems?

Just find one of the successors of the other seven emblems to be Guild Master.

Well yes, there are seven other successors.

But the owner of the Absorption Ancestral Emblem is the main disciple.

The Emblem Ancestor isn't here.

As the owner of the Absorption Ancestral Emblem, you are the Guild Master.

Finding the seven other successors is your duty!

It's also your glory!

- Bless the Guild Master! - Bless the Guild Master!

- May he guide us! - May he guide us!

Lin Dong, why don't we stay? We won't have to wander anymore.

Lin Dong, Qing Tan is exit!

Exit my ass, it's "right." "Qing Tan is right!"

No. She's wrong!

Centuries ago...

The Emblem Ancestor and his disciples sacrificed everything to fight the Yimo.

Eventually, they finally sealed the Yimo Emperor.

Once peace was restored, the world had no more use for Emblem Masters.

There is a saying that Emblem Masters bring turbulence.

If we show ourselves freely, the people would think us inauspicious.

You don't understand. The Guild Master has to fight the Yimo with them!

One wrong move, and I'm dead!

What will happen to you then? And you?

They may be treating me honorably now...

- But this... - Emblem Master Guild.

Yes, the Emblem Master Guild Master is a job that results in death!

You're all heroes! Whoever wants to be Guild Master...

take this Ancestral Emblem!

Here, you take it. You look like the one.

Take it, you're definitely the next Emblem Ancestor.

It suits you! Don't move. Take it!

Don't be modest!

Surely, you want this.

- The talisman? - Stop messing around!

You see? No one dares to accept the responsibility.

Why should I?

These Emblem Masters have wandered for decades, concealing their identities.

They've all been waiting for the successor.

Now, you're here.

But it turns out that you're just a coward.

Master Yan!

Is there no way to retrieve the Destiny Soul Emblem?

Do you really believe that he can handle this task?

There are plenty of people willing to purge the Yimo.

Why leave it to someone with no interest?

Our hearts are malleable. Interest can be fostered.

Take yourself, for example. Did you always wish to purge the Yimo?

Master Yan!

My desire to kill the Yimo has never changed!

But you have an ulterior motive, don't you?

There's something I forgot to tell you.

I've seen your father.

- Lin Dong, where are you going? - Junior Ying.

Junior Ying!

- Quiet. - Junior--

Junior Ying, I was just thinking...

- You... - Stop calling me so many times.

I can hear you with one call.

Speak!

- Lin Dong is-- - Where is Lin Dong?

He went to Mystical Item House.

Didn't I tell you to wake me up as soon as there was news of him?

But you were sleeping so soundly!

- And you were sleep talking-- - Out of the way!

Junior Ying!

- Junior Ying! - Move it!

- Why are you still here? - Because Lin Dong is still here.

Then let me tell you why I'm still here.

I'm determined to bring Lin Dong back to Dao Sect with me today.

Junior Ying.

I think you got up too late today.

What do you mean?

Emblem Master Guild has a new Guild Master. Guess who it is?

It can't be Lin Dong, can it?

Who else would it be?

Impossible. Just wait!

Move!

Ling Qing Zhu, why have you come again?

Where is Lin Dong?

Look for him yourself.

Um, Master Yan wants my brother to be the Guild Master.

That old man has definitely used some sort of enchantment.

Your brother is an idiot. We can't let him get swindled!

- Let's go. - Hurry and take him away.

Just don't let him get swindled.

Ling Qing Zhu... what is up with you?

Did you swallow a firecracker?

It's nothing.

Master Yan is a prestigious and virtuous man and he genuinely cares for Lin Dong.

And it would be really nice for us to have somewhere to go.

But you do!

Lin Dong has already agreed to come to Dao Sect with me.

Don't try to steal him from me. Especially you!

Your father mentioned me to you?

Yes.

He told me to find you and listen to you.

But how was I supposed to know that you wanted me to do this?

I'm not the one that wants you to.

The Ancestral Emblem does. The heavens do.

I'm just an ordinary person who found the Ancestral Emblem by accident.

I got into Mystical Item House with dumb luck

and received the Destiny Soul Emblem just by holding the fairy maiden's hand.

None of it happened in some heroic way.

The spirit domain you experienced before

is an extremely difficult region to reach within one's mind.

Just based off of that, you're far from ordinary.

You're incredibly perceptive for your age and you've overcome many obstacles.

Among those your age, no one else is a match for you.

I'm getting on in years. It would be difficult for me to fight the Yimo.

If I were as young as you are, what would I need you for?

But you're different.

You're unique.

We have this rare opportunity.

So why stick to traditional requirements?

You're the best candidate for Guild Master.
