In a remote village, there live nine mysterious old people along with a young man they raised, Qin Mu. One day, the cow that Qin Mu was herding suddenly spoke, revealing that Da Xu, a land abandoned by the gods, was full of danger and mysterious beauty. Demons descend with darkness, bones of gods dance in ancient ruins, bone dragons guard their cubs, and giant ships pull the sun across the sky. No matter how big the danger was, Qin Mu faced it without fear, mastering the knowledge taught by the nine elders. With unmatched abilities, he is determined to make his own way in this world.

Suatu hari, sapi yang digembalakan Qin Mu tiba-tiba berbicara, mengungkapkan bahwa Da Xu, tanah yang ditinggalkan para dewa, penuh dengan bahaya dan keindahan yang misterius. Iblis-iblis turun bersama kegelapan, tulang-tulang dewa menari di reruntuhan kuno, tulang naga menjaga anaknya, dan kapal raksasa menarik matahari melintasi langit.

Dengan kemampuan yang tiada tanding, dia bertekad untuk menciptakan jalannya sendiri di dunia ini.

I love how it’s like he is spending his last moments with Qin Mu in this episode, fam. They are indeed making it grand for him here, sheesh!!! And we get to see Granny Si again in this episode, but of course, she gets restricted in using her real appearance cause people can’t control themselves lol. 😅😅😅
I don’t even think her beautiful appearance would work on Qin Mu, but I guess the majority of the people there still need to be taken into consideration. 🤔🤔🤔 And the Grand Mentor didn’t want things to be messy for Qin Mu’s coronation ceremony. I love how they take these things seriously, and our boi finally becoming the next in line to be Sect Master. 💪💪💪
I feel like once everybody in the academy finds out Qin Mu is the next Sect Master/Patriarch of the Heavenly Saint Cult, they will be surprised and baffled by it. 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t blame them since our boi kind of kept it so well hidden from all of them. And looks like the technique of their sect is finally getting passed on to him in this episode as well, sheesh!!! Qin Mu is finally taking in the big boi stuff. 😤😤😤
My boy’s ascending
Officially fam officially 🫡🫡🫡
Fam, imagine when the princess will find out that Qin Mu is the new young master of the Heavenly Saint Cult. 🤣🤣🤣
By the way the new eyecatcher ” short animation ” that plays after the end of the first part of the episode is sick asf. 🔥🔥🔥
IKR she won’t be calling him cowherd anymore fam hahaha.
to answer your one of your lines straight from the novel. when qin mu saw her for the first time. he said “if a woman this pretty wanted my life, i would happily give it” soon after he was like “ew no thats my grandma” basically, yes, he wanted to simp.
🤣🤣🤣
I don’t think Granny Si is “just” beautiful. My guess is that she possesses a special physique that results in supernatural charm on top of beauty itself.
It’s the kind of thing you see often enough that it’s not a stretch to assume, especially given how big a problem it is for her.
That said, this episode pretty heavily implied that she’s been wrestling with possession for 40 years not because she was incapable of beating it, but because she couldn’t even TRY; the old master was needed to pass down the teachings, so she couldn’t get rid of him until the sect agreed on a new master.
Somehow, that makes it so much worse. Like living with a violent ex because you need to protect something more important than yourself.
Yeah, and she has to get rid of that said inner demons of hers. Granny Si has her own problems to tackle fam. 😔😔😔
Boop
Hey! It’s Gma Si—*ahem* I mean.. Fairy You-You! 😍
Aaand she’s Gma Si again 😐
So the Purple-gal really isn’t Fairy You-You, huh? So I CAN ship them without it being weird! Nice!! 🥴
Oh no, what does tha text at the end of the ep says!? 😫
Grandmaster’s quality though.. his calmness, his philosophy, will power, stance, love for the sect.. really admire that guy since the first time I saw the character.
He embodies a true/ perfect cultivator.
Becoming a Sage. Becoming an Immortal.
It is not much different than now.
To be enlightened: Logic, Knowledge, and Teaching.
Where does immortality come from?
The moment your teachings take root in others, you begin to live forever.
The clearer your logic (the truer your Dao), the deeper your knowledge, the more hearts you inspire while teaching, the stronger your immortality becomes.
Your Dao can be art, music, craftsmanship, trade, martial arts, woodcutting, mining.. it doesn’t matter.
As long as your way of thought lives through generations, you are immortal.
Just like our beloved ones who have passed away, as long as their words still echo in our hearts, they live on. And if we pass their wisdom to our sons and daughters, then they, (and therefore we) will live forever.
Such a meaningful episode.
Loved it.
Yeah I’m quite surprised that part is actually reflective of real world practices/belief and not just a fantasy fiction lore
There was a lot of untranslated writing about 2/3’s of the way through
Image 1 — “Doctrine” (教义)
Image 2 — “Heavenly Sage Sect” (天圣教)
Thanks
Thanks for the translation, I’m guessing “Way” here means “Dao” yeah?
Which tends to also be translated to “Path”?
Nice!
Ending Text Pg 1
TianSheng Sect
[Doctrine]
“The Way of the Sage is no different from what the common people use daily. Anything different is heresy. Acting according to one’s nature, purely following the natural order, is called the Way.”
This is the fundamental doctrine of the Heavenly Sage Sect, and also the opening and main chapter of the *Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture*.
Any doctrine that cannot be used by the common people, whether it be the Way of Gods, the Way of Demons, or the Way of Zen, is heresy.
Anything that can be used by the common people in their daily lives is the true Way.
Arigato.
Pg 2
TianSheng Sect
[Origin]
While traveling, Wei Suifeng encountered a woodcutter in the mountains.
The woodcutter wielded his axe, chopping down pine and cypress trees with orderly, methodical movements, seemingly containing profound principles. Each time the pine or cypress tree received a blow, a new piece would grow back, restoring it to its original state.
Wei Suifeng knew he had met a sage descended from heaven. He approached the woodcutter to seek his guidance.
The woodcutter sat on a rock beside the pine and cypress tree and began to preach,
for decades. Wei Suifeng was filled with boundless enlightenment, yet still not satisfied, he asked the woodcutter how to become a sage.
The woodcutter said, to become a sage, one must establish virtue, establish merit(action),
establish speech—the three establishments, the three eternal.
Wei Suifeng then asked how to achieve the three eternal.
The woodcutter explained, understand principles, understand knowledge, and understand teachings—the three understands, teacher of ten thousand people (masses).
Wei Suifeng was greatly enlightened; to become a sage, one must first achieve the three understands. He compiled the teachings of the sages into a book, which later became known as the *Great Healing Heavenly Demon Scripture*. This is understanding the principles. He traveled the world for hundreds of years, passing on the principles transmitted by the sage to others. Those who heard it internalized it as their own principles. “from mouth to ear, one speak one listen; this is understand knowledge.”
The word “teaching” in the Mingjiao (明教) means to impart and educate. Therefore, he established a sect to spread the teachings of the sages to the world. To commemorate the guidance of the woodcutter sage, he named the sect “Tianshengjiao” (天圣教).
The 360 paths of cultivation in the woodcutter’s scripture are the origin of the 360 halls of Tianshengjiao. Wei Suifeng achieved understanding the principles, understanding the knowledge, and understanding the teachings; he established virtue and words, but he failed to achieve merit(action) and ultimately did not become a sage. In his later years, he pondered deeply, unsure where his merit lay. To explore the three establishments leading to sagehood, he embarked on an even longer journey.
Nice!
Ngl, so things went over my head, but overall I enjoyed this. Also, that was a long reading of the info before the ending credits.
ohh Qin Mu realizing that their sect is lacking in education wanting them to infiltrate into Imperial College Academy! And yea, ancestor’s mocking the damn previous sect master that was addicted to women, especially their previous mistress/holy lady Si Youyou! 😆✨
ohh Qin Mu realizing that their sect is lacking in education wanting them to infiltrate into Imperial College Academy! And yea, ancestor’s mocking the damn previous sect master that was addicted to women, especially their previous mistress/holy lady Si Youyou! heihei 😅🌸
and yea as expected Imperial Preceptor knows that the headmaster of Taixue Academy is Heavenly Demon Sect Patriarch/Ancestor! right? I loved how they mutually respect each other despite difference in generations.. turns out behind the great achievement of Imperial Preceptor, Ancestor plays a big supporting role~ obviously.. 🤝🔥
fuxx.. does anyone not understand the usual meaning of Dao companion? It’s basically your wife/husband but for pursuing Dao.. the translation is totally shocking and embarrassing to read.. I know Xin worked hard but “Dao You” means Dao friend or fellow Daoist.. but true though if u think deeper, “Dao You” this word might be thrown too easily.. but Dao companion honestly sounds awkward and a bit disgusting even though I know the meaning is not that.. 😳💭
moreover, Imperial Preceptor can guess that the gathering in Yongzhou is probably related to the next Sect Master of Heavenly Demon Sect! and yea he wanted the sect master to submit haha~ let’s see about that.. the guy is too wild.. 😏⚡
so.. Ceremony of Heavenly Saint Cult is beginning! Qin Mu is finally ascending formally to sect master~ ehm he’s too young and still at Five Element Realm.. no worries guys.. 😌🔥
hoo. those elders of Dao Sect are discussing how to eliminate the new sect leader, which is MC.. but well, they’ll kick an iron plate soon. but they’re right, why? this world is much more complicated than you think.. it’s not that they want to suppress them.. they suppress them so people won’t need to encounter greater monsters from beyond.. 😈🌌
yes Kaishan Sect Master saw a Woodcutter. This is a spoiler but Kaishan is the first student of Woodcutter and later Woodcutter takes Qin Mu as — I forgot — second or third disciple.. doesn’t matter.. but what’s important is Woodcutter is actually a general working under Qin Mu’s ancestor.. if u guys check wiki, u know that Qin Mu’s birth name is Qin Fengqing, he’s a descendant of a once almighty empire that ruled Great Ruins before.. also, Kaishan Sect Master is actually alive, he’s trapped in a boat travelling through the vicissitudes fragment of time… ⏳🛶
funny part is that Kaishan Sect Master wished to become a true saint according to his teacher’s teaching. but when Qin Mu meets Woodcutter directly, he said that he never taught him to do that.. even he is not qualified to be a saint/sage.. 🤔🌿
and that short scene of the elder monk talk to rulai of great leiyin (thunderclap) temple.. it’s kinda similar to elders of dao sect but he’s hmmm.. yea i guess cutting karma? haha.. and grandpa ma is mentioned.. remember, the one handed bald old man! anw.. ⚡⚡
okay man had to admit the inheritance memory scene is so dope.. Great Heavenly Saint Cult unification technique..! okay btw, Heavenly Demon Sect never call themselves demon — they call themselves Saints..! do the studio fail to comprehend this or what..? anw.. what an absolute banger! Li Tianxing was awakened by Ancestor to transmit the teachings of Woodcutter! and I can see that Si Youyou (Grandma Si) will be fighting inner demon for years to come~ she even told Ancestor to tell Mu’er to come home at New Year.. she has truly embodied her grandma personality haha~ 💫❤
Ok I had to skip the latter part of your comments because I don’t want to be spoiled much lol
But I am confused why matter of the Heavenly Saint/Sage Cult matters so much to the other big 3 sects that they consider ridding of the new sect master, and also why the sect is considered “demonic” by others too
Will this be explored later or I just didn’t get it?
well.. probably u just don’t get it.. they’re quite apparent in several prev episodes.. also the doctrine and stuff are also different. apparently trying to bring down education to common people is considered demonic path by dao sect people.. since probably the quality will be degraded.. also there are a lot of sect members misusing the art given by the sect to practice heretical stuff. thus, it can be demonic. while the great teaching of saint cult is actually to teach common people from many aspects, it can also be twisted by those with filthy desires. moreover, qin mu himself commented at some point that the sect is demonic bcs of some people misusing this and so on.. so yea under qin mu, heavenly saint cult will be reformed.. don’t worry abt it if u don’t get it.. i mean u can grasp the clue if u follow thoroughly from the beginning but i think following eps will also explain a lot..
🔥 🔥
-Right!!? I was like: “Daaam! Did they go that far or is it just the subs?” 😝
anyone explain what the outro in the end 5 mins is all about? Commercial for noodles?
No it’s more like they are doing charity work fam. 🤔🤔🤔 The old people is like a representation of Qin Mu’s family the cripple elders.
After this will be a bloodbath war. . .
Can’t wait to see that. . .
Thanks again Xin. . .
I really hate the story behind granny Si.
I can fix her…
or die trying haha
good episode👍🔥🙂😆🔥
