[Adapted from Tencent Animation's comic of the same name]
How long must a dream be for hope to sprout?
The most bitter lovesickness
The farthest is forgetting
[Fox Spirit Matchmaker]
Fiddling with love
My ignorance
You occupy my mind
When I gaze at you
Ignoring the rain and storms
I can take that with me
The fragile hope
Drowning in the illusion of love
You will leap into the deep ocean
I'm like a moth
Fluttering to the flame
Never regretting this love even in death
You burn like a fire and shine like a light
I'll hurtle toward the flame regardless of your will
My selfishness
It's just to protect you
[Episode 142]
You're a physical being born in the perimeter.
Have you ever tried considering the thoughts of others?
The Black Fox used you as a medium.
That is her biggest failure.
That's because you
don't know anything.
There are so many people here today.
The juniors of all the great clans are here.
The seniors are there, too.
- Folks, fret not and relax. - Is this fatso, no, this grandpa
- This is the Blue Sky Meet held every 36 years. - the famous Stewart Fei?
We aim to find talented juniors
from the various clans.
All right, I declare
the official start of the Blue Sky Meet.
With your family backgrounds,
I'm sure you've heard of this before.
The secret legacy of the Taoist Alliance.
Young Master, what are you doing?
It sure is tough.
Legend has it that the secret legacy of the Third Young Master is impervious to blades and spears,
as well as water and fire.
A sword can't leave a scratch on it.
What about fire?
Cool.
This fire is great.
You...
They asked for fire.
This secret legacy can withstand any attack.
But letting everyone have a try takes up too much time.
Let's get down to business first.
Step forward to take a look at the secret legacy according to your clans.
Just tell me
what you see.
I can't believe they're starting with attacking the secret legacy.
These kids are really interesting.
The Blue Sky Meet is hosted every 36 years.
I wonder how many kids
will surprise us this time.
Surprise?
I witnessed two Blue Sky Meets.
I didn't find a single promising child.
In the records,
the information perceived by most are either the same
or utterly incomprehensible.
I reckon this procedure is just another formality.
The secret legacy of the Taoist Alliance
looks like an ordinary stone,
but people found out
that some people can perceive magical things from it.
Some have also been enlightened by the stone,
leading to great boosts in their skills.
But such folks are few and far between.
In thousands of years,
the Taoist Alliance barely managed to figure out a handful of messages.
For example, this thing
comes from the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom.
Here's another example.
The gulf that exists at the border
was created to protect us.
Eyes.
Those eyes are flaming.
Y-You can see it?
The flame of those eyes are blazing.
And those eyes seem capable of perceiving everything.
You...
I saw the same thing.
But it's different.
I saw a ray of golden light shooting by.
It was so fast.
I saw a bubble of air barricading everything else from entering.
I saw a man.
The man is in a ball of golden light.
He was waving the pole in his hand.
He drew a circle on the ground.
Yes.
Once that golden figure was done with the circle, he started laughing at the sky.
But he looks injured.
That was the most astonishing Blue Sky Meet of the Taoist Alliance.
I saw a golden figure.
- The pole in his hand can turn thick or thin and long or short at his will. - A dozen children had visions.
As for me...
I saw it, too.
I...
I saw a golden figure.
That pole can be turned thick or thin and long or short.
Just like what Second Brother saw.
The Li clan is indeed an ancient clan of the Taoist Alliance.
I can't believe all three children
saw something.
They're amazing.
Don't be in awe at others.
An old antique like the Li clan
will meet their end soon.
Exactly.
Stupid little brother.
But I'm still envious.
The girl is also so cute.
I wonder what's her name.
The talented third young miss of the Li clan, Li Muchen?
I'm impressed that you figured out our whereabouts,
but you can't come with us.
Li Zizai, Li Quzhuo, don't pull that crap with me!
Li Zizai and Li Quzhuo are also genuises of the Li clan.
Unfortunately,
we aren't acquainted.
Don't think I can't recognize you just because of those masks.
These outfits of yours are just improved versions of what you wore at the Blue Sky Meet.
- Fine, Third Sister. - Second Brother, stop.
Don't admit it so quickly.
I know you're going to the beyond.
But, Big Brother and Second Brother,
why can't I go with you?
First of all,
no family members are allowed for tasks of the Masks.
Little Sister,
you're too smart.
Since you were little, you always have strange ideas.
You're even good at scheming.
According to the information we have on the beyond,
you really aren't suitable to go there right now.
So, you can head there to break through your cultivation
but I only deserve to be trapped here?
Don't be so fierce!
If we gain insights out there,
isn't it the same if we teach you once we're back?
We had the same vision from the secret legacy.
That means we have similar talents.
In that case,
why are you in such a hurry to take the risk?
All right, Little Sister,
don't be upset.
Wait for us to come back.
We'll tell you everything we see and hear.
[Tomb of Elder Brother, Li Zizai]
Big Brother,
don't be sad.
At least...
At least you're back.
Big Brother.
All of you who had visions from the stone
are nothing much.
In the end, you're dead or crippled.
But everything you're incapable of,
I can do all of it.
A plan?
That's right.
Big Brother Tian, you have to help me.
You're my hero.
What do you want to do?
A while ago,
I happened to meet
the leader of the North Mountain Rebellion, the North Mountain Venerable.
Under his guidance, I found
the remains of a creature from the beyond.
After that, I've been thinking.
Maybe we can accomplish an earth-shaking feat together.
But what can I do?
You can do it.
You only need to
kill one person with me.
Kill someone?
I...
What's with that expression?
Didn't you say
I'm the one you like the most?
I...
Tell me.
Are you willing to do it?
Y-You know that I'm from Tushan, don't you?
Why do you have the nerve to do this?
Little Sister Chen, let's stop.
We can't afford to offend Tushan.
You'll help me
even if we can't offend them, right?
That's because you're my hero.
What's wrong, Big Brother Tian?
Why are you hesitating?
Didn't you say you like me the most?
Fox Thought Skill?
No.
She's trying to contact Tushan.
Big Brother Tian, you're amazing.
Big Brother Tian,
do it.
For me.
Big Brother Tian,
keep an eye outside.
Don't disturb me for three minutes.
Thank you, Big Brother Tian.
You're the best.
Little Sister Chen,
this time we...
You already killed a Taoist Alliance envoy with me.
You're so brave.
I...
Big Brother Tian,
you...
You're a great hero in my heart.
I don't know anything about love?
I do. Why wouldn't I?
It's so simple.
Fondness and affection are just superficial feelings of dependence.
Only a girl like you who just gained a body
would treat that like treasures.
Such things are worthless.
Jin Chenxi's link snapped.
We won.
No.
Li Muchen has other hidden magical powers.
Reconnect.
The power of love?
Connecting with Jin Chenxi using love?
Someone liek you isn't capable of that.
Where did you get the powers of Tushan?
Oh, that's right.
You're also a matchmaking fairy.
Tushan's power of love
is delicious.
Holy crap.
Y-You're too audacious.
With your skills,
you've got some nerve provoking Tushan.
You must be crazy.
What do you want?
My wish is the same as my brothers.
They have their methods.
But they failed.
I have my own way.
And now,
I've become the strongest Demon Emperor in the world.
I want to know the truth about this world.
Thank goodness.
Little Mu's white light is still solid.
Once he succeeds,
that twisted girl will lose control of Jin Chenxi.
Do you think that you can overthrow my powers
with a little persistence?
Let me tell you an answer.
At this stage, all the great Demon Emperors
can control 30 percent of the powers of their lands.
As for me,
I have control over 40 percent of the entire North Mountain.
According to the secret legacy,
attaining true might will give one the chance to meet the Third Young Master
and find out the truth of the world.
I did everything I could.
Finally, I made it the strongest Demon Emperor in the world.
I became a real powerhouse.
So,
Third Young Master,
meet me on behalf of Aolai Kingdom.
Third Young Master!
Haven't you done enough?
Refusing to appear?
In that case,
I'll kill this annoying fox demon.
Big Brother Taoist,
if it kills Lord Honghong,
will I die too?
You want to defeat Tushan?
It won't be that easy.
Big Sister,
it seems to be targeting us.
It doesn't matter.
What's next?
That's 40 percent of the North Mountain's power.
We have to avoid direct confrontation.
Victory lies elsewhere.
All done.
Luckily, your life force was sealed by the mother body.
It can still be cured if with some time.
The Heart of the North Mountain has been lost.
I'm useless in this battle.
Why are you doing this?
Don't fret.
Just go along with our plans.
If it was possible to meet the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom with just demonic powers,
Tushan would've already achieved that.
This is Li Muchen's desperate struggle.
So, the key to this fight
lies in the Heart of the North Mountain.
So, you guys have to work hard.
It wasn't enough?
Darn it.
This is the limit of the demonic powers
I can channel to the little fool.
You're alone.
Where did you get such strong powers of love?
Matchmaking fairies of Tushan,
cultivators of the powers of love.
Yet, you're powerless against my powers of love.
Isn't it fascinating?
Isn't it fascinating?!
Why are you capable of this?
Do you think a heartless person like me
is incapable of moblizing the powers of love?
Your grasp of love
is too superficial.
You...
That's...
That's the power of the love vemon.
Why do you have that?
In the Southern Kingdom,
when a girl falls in love with someone out of her reach,
they will find a good spot to harvest a love venom.
They feed it with their own blood and demonic energy daily.
This is the love venom.
Did Xiao Tianhao cast the love venom on you?
But only women can cast the love venom
in the Southern Kingdom.
How did Xiao Tianhao do it?
Transforming from a man into a woman.
Replacing demonic energy with magic powers.
I figured out this method after dissecting that fox demon.
After that, I was even more certain
that love is a special magic power with high susceptability to one's will.
That's why it is best used
as a link between souls.
It works fabulously as a magic weapon for linkage.
That helped me accomplish this feat
of controlling creatures from the beyond
and forming the Demon Emperor.
- An unprecedented feat. - Big Brother Taoist, what should we do now?
You're using love as glue, aren't you?
All right,
we can leave now.
What do you mean?
There's a difference
between love and glue.
What?
Are you upset because I insulted the sacred power of love in your heart?
Tushan matchmaking fairy, this is the truth.
Emotion is just a special substance secreted here.
It can became a special boost for magic powers.
Magic powers will have an unusually high degree of adhesion.
As long as you master this special refinement method,
you will be able to continuously generate the power of love.
The skills of Tushan and the Southern Kingdom can be achieved with ease.
So, you've been
experimenting with Xiao Tianhao.
Poor thing.
So what?
Got any advice for me?
I can't teach you anything.
I don't have much experience in unrequited love.
I just want to say this.
If cultivation with love is so simple,
there would be tons like Big Sister Yaya in Tushan.
Unrequited love?
M-Make yourself clear.
There's no need.
She will tell you.
She?
The white light.
What's that?
That's right.
He has no experience,
but I do.
I have thoughts pointing in all directions
It's hard to talk about my troubles
I have worries on my mind
It's hard to make a choice
I saw
You are in tears
There are many choices to be made in life
I haven't figured it out yet
I give up on my swirling thoughts
All that's left is you in my heart
Strengthen my true heart forever
My eyes see untainted pure colors
I'm mulling over countless diverging thoughts
People should follow their heart
