The radiance from the window pierces through the night
The journey down the immortal path is long
The eight bends and nine turns of the mountain are already desolate
Living beings question the miseries of the secular world over a pot of wine
Write about Nirvana and rebirth
I will break through the azure waves with my flesh
Heaven is vast and mighty, so what if I was born ordinary?
When will the principles of indifference turn violent?
A storm rages at the depths of the precipice
Spend your thoughts on life and death in your dreams
Unsheathe the sword, question the immortal stars
The secular world undergoes many changes
Nature and the universe will bestow us with poignant truths
Seize the world, swallow everything under the sky
Experience all the vicissitudes of life in an instant
I defy the light, soaring into the sky
Continue to write new chapters for all beings of the three worlds
Mortality and immortal cultivation is only separated by a will
Shed this insignificant body to become radiant
The sands from the sea transcend the furthest reaches
The young heart is tempered by trials and hardships
I defiantly became an immortal, why would I hesitate to fight Heaven?
Renegade Immortal
Adapted from the novel Xian Ni (Renegade Immortal) by Er Gen
Recap of previous episode
In the future, if you encounter any dangers
you just have to crush it
I'll immediately rush over
Our Heng Mountain Sect has won this competition
You all cannot defend the Heng Mountain Peak
Shatter!
The sect of a generation
could actually perish overnight
Is this the brutality of cultivation?
Only by becoming strong enough
can I control my own destiny

As long as we deliver it safely
the Dong family has always paid us well
We're now only four days away from Tianshui city
Stay on alert
All right! Understood!
Yang Sen, go take a look
All right
Young brother, you have guts
I'm Yang Sen from Tianshui city's Mighty Armed Escorts
Why do you linger here on the official road?
Do you need some help?
I'm Wang Lin
I have some skill in carving wood
I planned to go to Tianshui city to earn a living
but I got lost
Could you tell me how to get to Tianshui city?
What a coincidence
We're also on the way back to Tianshui city
You can travel with us
Thank you, Escort Leader
Senior
I've inscribed the last Spiritual Talisman into the Jade Talisman
Good, this Jade Talisman has undergone refinement
It's now a Core Treasure
Core Treasure?
That's right, a Core Treasure
An artifact with the power of an attack from a Core Formation cultivator
Sun Da Zhu was really an idiot
He had this artifact in his possession yet didn't know how to refine it
If not for my experience and knowledge
all the treasures in his storage pouch would've been neglected
Senior
I've long perfected my Qi Condensation
If I'm able to smoothly find some
top-quality wood attribute materials in Tianshui city
to upgrade the Heaven Defying Bead
will I achieve Foundation Establishment soon?
It's still too early
How long more do I need to cultivate?
How long more do you need to cultivate?
You blockhead
If you dislike how slow this method is
listen to me then
Use the Foundation Seizing Great Method
Senior
Never mind the question of whether I can capture
a Foundation Establishment stage expert alive
even if I do capture one by luck
the person whose foundation is seized will no doubt die
This Foundation Seizing Great Method
is somewhat too vicious
The weak are prey for the strong in the cultivation world
Personal gain at the expense of others is a universally accepted principle
Sooner or later, you'll suffer
because of your mentality
Brother Wang, you came at the right time
You ran into us exactly on the day when Mr. Li tells everyone's fortunes

You're really fortunate, kid
Mr. Li is a living immortal
Very well
I shall read all your fortunes today
Thank you, Mister
Black clouds cover the middle of your forehead
I see a glimpse of a bloody disaster
Adversity will strike soon
If you can survive it
you will marry within the next three months
We armed escorts have to deal with danger
so bloody disasters
are unavoidable
This is strange
Why do you also have the sign of a bloody disaster?
Old Liu, you also have the sign of a bloody disaster!
This...
The others also have a bloody light cast on their faces
This situation is not encouraging
You...
Senior
Mister
Does this young man also have the sign of a bloody disaster?
This young man has nothing to do with it
My skills in fortune-telling are still incomplete
I cannot read him
This juvenile's fortune-telling technique is quite interesting
I just sent him memories of me killing people in the past
Who goes there?
Aren't you a little too ignorant of the rules?

Zhang Hu?
Old Liu, hand it over
How can we mortals fight off an immortal?
The Dong family will not blame us once they know about this
How dare you!
You...
You are actually an immortal?
Upon seeing an old friend,
will you not come out to meet him?
Greetings, Chief
Who are you?
Be sensible and hand over the ginseng
Otherwise
don't blame me for being rude
Something's not right about this kid
Sorry
I mistook you for someone else
At least you're sensible
Get lost now

Master
Esteemed Immortal, spare my life
He's actually at the perfected 15th level of Qi Condensation stage
The same level as your cultivation
This is perfect
Xiao Lin Zi
Try out the artifacts in Sun Da Zhu's storage pouch on him
Zhang Hu
Since you ran into a friend
why do you not dare to acknowledge him?
Master
I don't know this person
Fine
Eighth level of Qi Condensation stage
Drinking his blood
will definitely increase my cultivation significantly
Let me help you, Master
Master
Did you think that
I would not recognize the Divine Movement Talisman in your hand?
Master
This person was a close friend of mine when I was young
Please...
Please spare him!
So you want to help that person escape
You should first consider your own position
This old guy has
probably planted a controlling poison in Zhang Hu's body
You are not at the eighth level of Qi Condensation
Even if you are at the Foundation Establishment stage
don't think that you can escape from this flying sword today!
What a fast sword
Something's strange about this flying sword
Xiao Lin Zi, you must deal with it carefully
T-This is a Core Treasure
I am Old Man Jimo's disciple...
Tempering yourself with battles for survival
will only benefit you and not harm you
Only in this way
will you clearly see the reality of the cultivation world
He's dead
You didn't acknowledge me just now
because of him, right?
He's really dead
Wang Lin
This is no place for us to talk
Once I dispose of these people
we can catch up on old times
Only dead people won't inform on us
Bai Zhan's master is Old Man Jimo
He'll definitely track us down
When that time comes
it'll be hard for us to escape death
Immortal Elders
we swear that we will not say a word
Will not say a word?
As long as someone draws your soul out and refine it
they'll know of every single detail
I've used the Mind Transforming technique
to erase part of their memories
Let's go
Many years have passed since
we parted ways in the Heng Mountain Sect
After you left the Heng Mountain Sect back then
I haven't had anyone to drink with
Neither have I
I want to find a place as quickly as possible
to refine this flying sword to make it my own artifact
If we really have to fight for our lives
this will give us better odds
It so happens that
I'm planning to go to the nearby Teng Family City to lie low
Let's go together
Otherwise, I don't know when we'll meet again
Teng Family City?
Teng Family City belongs to a cultivation clan
Due to a newly emerged Nascent Soul patriarch
no one in Zhao country will dare provoke them
Personal conflicts are prohibited in the city
Teng Family City
Cultivators from other places just have to offer Spirit Stones
to enter the city and stay there
I guess even Old Man Jimo
wouldn't dare behave willfully in Teng Family City
Foundation Establishment stage
Keep your distance
He's from the Corpse Yin Sect
Corpse Yin Sect?
The Corpse Yin Sect is found throughout the Vermilion Bird Planet
Cultivation countries of all sizes
have a branch of the sect
Go in
There's a Corpse Puppet inside the coffin
A puppet refined from a corpse, that is
This is the Corpse Yin Sect's secret technique
The higher their disciple's cultivation
the stronger their Corpse Puppet
Please enter, Immortal Elder
I wonder what brings you here this time, Immortal Elder
Keep your distance if you run into them again in the future
The Corpse Yin Sect is very evil
Fellow cultivator, please go in and take a look

Trying to escape?
Artifacts with spirituality
are indeed different
Senior
Do you have a way to quickly refine it to make it mine?
I do have a way
I'm just afraid you won't dare to use it
Why?
This method is called the Blood Refining technique
It requires the use of your soul blood to refine an artifact
The advantage is that you can instantly
refine this flying sword to make it yours
The disadvantage is that
if the flying sword is damaged, you will suffer a backlash
This backlash will be a lot more severe than that from artifacts refined
by other methods
I dare to use it
Please teach me, Senior
You're rather ruthless on yourself
If you can be this ruthless to other people as well
you would've reached Foundation Establishment early on
Wang Lin
Are you really not coming with me to the market to sell the ginseng?
I'm still busy
You go on ahead

I pay my respects to you, Grandfather
You did well
This is Old Man Jimo
He came here today with a request for you
This is a Nascent Soul-level artifact
Letting a Foundation Establishment cultivator use it
would be a little...
You mean to say that
I, Teng Li, am not worthy of this Nascent Soul artifact
Then let me broaden your perspective
Look at that, what's happening?
The sky has been split open
Please avenge my disciple, Young Lord
I've resigned myself to the endless years along the way just to see your silhouette
Who came to this conclusion from reversing the compass?
The Heavens have erased your thread of thoughts
It was obsession that guided me
I've seen through the insubstantial fantasies along the way past the confusion over what's real or fake
If you are in murkiness with no aspirations how can you differentiate right from wrong?
Watch all beings go with the flow
Watch all beings drown
I refuse to believe that fate is determined by someone
Let the world temper my soul
So what if I want to become an immortal and defy Heaven? Go fight
Comprehend the highest realm during desperate circumstances
Only today do I realize that I am who I am
My entire body is covered with blood from the slaughter Carrying a lifetime's worth of obsessions
I don't look back at how bleak my surroundings are
Even if suffering smashes my soul
Even if I'm reborn several times in hell I'll continue to fight
When standing at an elevated position
it is difficult to escape loneliness
Why would a moth that has seen the Vermilion Bird be afraid of the light of a firefly?
