♪Chasing wind, I set out afar♪ ♪The road ahead lost, my voice unheard♪ ♪I’ve tasted joy and sorrow♪ ♪Laying low, I plan every move♪ ♪With a mortal heart and lingering ties♪ ♪I’m roaming far and wide♪ ♪A twist of fate in desperate times♪ ♪A bond that outlives the dust of life♪ ♪Still chasing what immortality means♪ ♪Even eternity flashes by in a blink♪ ♪Don’t mock my ordinary life♪ ♪I fight alone as chaos shakes the world♪ ♪Don’t scorn my humble roots♪ ♪Kind at heart, ruthless when I must be♪ ♪Fate stirs with joy and grief beneath♪ ♪I hold the tide between life and death♪ ♪Faith carries me through endless dark♪ ♪And I return with a heart refined♪ ♪Forged by trial, I rise through three realms♪ ♪Reborn in the wheel of fate♪ [The Immortal Ascension] [Adapted from the webnovel, The Immortal Ascension by Wangyu] [serialized in www.qidian.com under China Literature Limited] [Episode 5] The cold poison is acting up more frequently now. I must get my hands on the Sunwarm Jade today. Who’s there? Li. Who are you? It’s me, Mo Caihuan. Open the door. Just you alone? You don’t look well. Are you very sick? How did you find me? Anyone can see that tall guard of yours. What do you want? Here. Sunwarm Jade. Use it to cure yourself. Sunwarm Jade? Impossible. Don’t worry. This is the real Sunwarm Jade. I won’t cause you harm. Li! His poison runs deep. [Episode 6] I paid the right price for the right thing. That’s what a fair deal should be. Fine. Then let me show you what fairness really means! Senior Lu, that fragment of a magic item is dispensable anyway. The spirit root test is coming up. Better not stir up trouble. All right. Since you spoke up, I’ll back off. Kid, you won’t be so lucky next time. Let’s go! These clan disciples really are arrogant. Thanks for stepping in just now. I’m Han Yunzhi. What’s your name? Han Li. Li, are you also here for the spirit root test? It’s about to begin. Let’s go together. Sure. [Ye Fei from Yellow Maple Valley] Fellow cultivators, this round of the trials is hosted by our Moonshadow Sect, on behalf of the Seven Sects. As long as you pass the spirit root test… Han! – Over here! – …you’ll have a chance to be accepted into any sect. If your talent is exceptional… I thought you almost missed it. …you might even receive invitations from several sects at once. Then, the candidates get to choose where they want to go. Han, you all right? Listen. In the cultivation world, there’s a clear hierarchy. Low-level cultivators must not look directly at those above them. That one up there is a grandmaster at Core Formation Stage. Never stare at her like that. Got it? So that’s a Core Formation cultivator. Yeah. The slots are limited, so make the most of this chance. Yan Ruyan. Wood element. Heavenly spirit root. Passed. Heavenly spirit root! – She has a heavenly spirit root! – That’s amazing! She’s worthy of the heiress of the Yan Clan. Looks like it won’t be long before Yue Kingdom gains another Core Formation expert! [Seven Sects’ invitations]
All seven sects want her! She’s incredible! I choose the Moonshadow Sect. [Moonshadow Sect] They say the Moonshadow Sect is the strongest of the Seven Sects currently. [Treasure Girl] You blind fool! How dare you steal from me? It’s just a trial. Don’t let it turn deadly! Leave it at that. Fire-wood-element dual spirit root. Passed. I choose the Moonshadow Sect! Later, I’m going with Moonshadow too. Which one will you choose, Han? I’m good with any sect. I choose Yellow Maple Valley! I pick Clear Void Sect! I’m choosing Yellow Maple Valley! I’m going with Spirit Beast Mountain! I’m picking Giant Sword Sect! Brother! I’m dying… You okay, brother? Brother! Water-fire-earth-element triple spirit root. Passed. Put him here. Be careful. It’s okay. He’s still alive. You weren’t accepted by the Seven Sects. Rejected. What? Why is he rejected? Why didn’t they take me? What do I lack compared to them? So this is your so-called fairness, Seven Sects? You truly forgot what you did? I grabbed it! Metal-water-fire-earth-element quad spirit root. Rejected. Han, it’s all up to you now! Kid, it’s not your turn yet. He’s way too cocky. Looks like your spirit root must be trash. That guy holds a grudge. How can trash like him exist in the cultivation world? Wind-element variant spirit root. Passed. I choose Yellow Maple Valley! How boring. That was too easy! Qiaoqian. Water-earth-element dual spirit root. Passed. Another one made it. I pick Yellow Maple Valley. Now give him the orb. [Episode 7] Master. What unruly creature dares to cause trouble here? We’d better move. If we don’t leave now, a Core Formation cultivator might show up. Yes, sir. You’re spared for now. How could such a fiend appear among rogue cultivators? Could this be the work of those demonic sects again? That young man should count his blessings. I’ve been saved. A high-level cultivator must have stepped in. I escaped by the skin of my teeth. It seems being a rogue cultivator means hardship at every turn. If I want to survive, I’ll have to join a worthy sect. What’s going on? Where is Wu Jiuzhi’s body? It’s gone. [Tomb of Wan Xiaoshan] ♪Shards of dreams inside a dream…♪ Let me tell you something, Han. When it comes to cultivation in the Yue Kingdom, I know everything there is to know. Ask me anything you want. I learned a lot from you yesterday. We rogue cultivators are like one big family. Living free and easy as a rogue cultivator for life doesn’t sound so bad. ♪Too hard to forget, easier just to miss♪ ♪They say the past fades like smoke…♪ [Qingniu Town, Wuligou Village]
Once I reach Yellow Maple Valley, [Han Li’s Home]
I will leave behind the world of mortals. Worldly ties will no longer concern me. Before I go, I should head home one last time. The third uncle came. He’s here to take you to the Seven Mysteries Sect entrance exam. Father borrowed three big bowls of noodles from the sixth uncle, Madam Zheng, and Gousheng’s families, just to send you off. He even had me pull up some scallions. Before I knew it, Xiaomei was already of marrying age. Father. Mother. Li, do you think you can pass the Seven Mysteries Sect exam? Yes. I’ll definitely pass. My brother said he’ll pass the exam! My eldest grandson will surely make it. Without a doubt. ♪Time will fade♪ ♪All the words ever spoken♪ ♪Only this longing remains♪ ♪Crossing centuries and days…♪ Grandfather. Brother. Xiaomei. I’m glad I got to see you all before I set off on this long journey. [Moonshadow Sect, Celestial Moon Ark] I pluck a piece of cloud to send home, to let them know I am safe. Show-off. Yan Ruyan! What’s wrong? Yan Ruyan! The entrance to Yellow Maple Valley should be around here. Where exactly is it? Come back! Come back! Get back here! [Yellow Maple Valley] A sky full of yellow maple leaves. Is this Yellow Maple Valley? [Episode 8] While we’re already bound by the betrothal arrangement, I still wish to know you better. I see you’re still averse to me. You think you’re above a man of my lowly background, don’t you? Not at all. Then what? Why are you afraid of me? Senior Lu, there are people here. Behave. You’re adorable when you’re shy. There is no one here. Him again. Senior Lu. Why do you like to pick on him? He picked on me first. His Foundation Pill should have been mine. Han Li! Stand right there! Senior Lu, ever since I entered the valley, I have done nothing but concede. Why must you back me into a corner? You know very well why. Give me back the Foundation Pill or be the fertilizer to the forest. You’ve done nothing wrong but you stick out like a sore thumb because you possess something you shouldn’t have. What are you doing? This is between him and me. Please stay out of this, Mentor Wu.
