Your Majesties.

His Highness has made it through.

1:24

He will be fine for the next three years.

1:28

Qin Shi, most people at Yuan's age

1:31

(Zhou Yuan) have had the Eight Meridians

1:32

to begin cultivation.

1:34

But Yuan...

1:37

I have not detected his Eight Meridians.

=Episode 1= (Reappearance of the Eight Meridians)

3:36

Your Grace, you've lost much blood to save His Highness.

3:39

Please avoid getting emotional.

3:41

Take good care of your health.

3:43

The poison within Yuan's body

3:45

attacks once every three years.

3:47

And his body is getting worse.

3:48

To eradicate the poison,

3:50

he must rely on himself.

3:52

Yet his Eight Meridians haven't appeared.

3:54

What should we do?

3:55

In three years, the external suppression will fail to work.

3:59

By then, I fear His Highness's life will be in danger.

4:07

So you mean

4:09

I only have three years left to live?

4:11

- Yuan. - Yuan.

4:12

Father, mother.

4:14

Now, you must tell me

4:17

what exactly has happened to me.

4:20

Why do I have the Grudge Dragon Poison

4:22

in my body?

4:24

Yuan, do you know about the Wu Empire?

4:28

The Wu Empire

4:30

has many Primal Masters,

4:31

and it is a prosperous nation.

4:33

What's wrong?

4:34

Here's one thing.

4:36

For a century,

4:38

the royal family of the Wu

4:39

has been a vassal guarding the borders of Zhou.

4:45

Yet a decade ago, the Wu family suddenly launched a rebellion.

4:50

Within just one year,

4:51

they drove us to our ancestral land

4:54

and besieged the city for several months

4:55

until the day you were born.

4:59

(City Gate of the Zhou) Hurry up. Carry the living into the city.

5:01

(Lu Tieshan) The city gate is about to close.

5:09

The queen has given birth.

5:11

Is it

5:11

the legendary Dragon Destiny?

5:13

My kid was born with Eight Meridians,

5:15

directly reaching the Qi-Building Realm.

5:17

Congratulations.

5:18

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

5:20

Report.

5:32

That is

5:34

the aura of the python and the spiritual bird.

5:36

Why?

5:43

Wu Xuan, you rebel.

5:44

You finally act.

5:49

Zhou Qing.

5:50

(Wu Xuan) My family has served you for a century

5:53

and waited this long until your kid was born.

5:56

What?

6:04

I can tell you the truth.

6:06

My family has an ancient prophecy.

6:08

Python and sparrow swallow the dragon.

6:12

The Wu Flourishes.

6:25

Just as your son was born,

6:27

my wife also gave birth to our son and daughter.

6:30

To wait for this day,

6:31

she was pregnant for three years.

6:34

You want to...

6:36

It seems you're not that stupid.

6:38

Good.

6:39

Those born in the same year, same month,

6:41

and same day can devour each other's destiny.

6:45

A rebel cannot

6:47

ruin my son's Dragon Destiny.

6:50

I've besieged the city for months,

6:52

letting your family live until now.

6:55

Now, everything should come to an end.

7:01

Close the city gate!

7:15

Zhou Qing, hand over your son's Dragon Destiny,

7:18

and I promise your family will not perish.

7:23

No way.

7:40

(Lin Nian)

7:47

(Wang Chaotian)

7:53

Not good, the gate has been breached!

7:55

It's over.

8:07

If you hand over the Dragon Destiny,

8:10

I swear upon the ancestors of my family

8:13

that I won't set foot in Zhou for the next century.

8:16

Otherwise, I will annihilate your family

8:20

and your people.

9:08

From this day forward,

9:10

my nation will be protected by a dragon and a phoenix

9:12

and surely flourish

9:15

and thrive.

9:18

Since the Dragon Destiny is taken,

9:20

this kid is in a fury.

9:23

That's good.

9:24

I'll let this fury

9:26

devour this child's essence and vitality

9:29

to eliminate future troubles.

9:31

From then on, your Eight Meridians have disappeared

9:34

to this day.

9:37

Yuan.

9:39

Your father and I feel guilty about it.

9:42

Mother, are you alright?

9:45

To help you combat the Grudge Dragon Poison,

9:48

she transfuses her blood to you every year.

9:51

And each transfusion shortens her life by three years.

9:55

Now she has less than ten years left

9:57

- to live. - Qin Shi.

10:13

I'll make the Wu family pay the price.

10:22

Father, what can we do to save my mother?

10:24

Her lifespan...

10:26

There are natural treasures that can extend one's life.

10:30

But they are extremely rare.

10:32

I've sent many people to look for them

10:36

but found nothing.

10:38

Father, can I not become a Primal Master?

10:43

You don't want to give up?

10:45

Nowadays, Zhou manages to survive

10:48

solely due to the oath made by King Wu back then.

10:51

But at the end of a century,

10:53

the Wu Empire will kill our people

10:54

to eliminate future troubles.

10:56

I want to change it

10:58

with my own strength.

11:01

Good, since that's what you want,

11:05

I will do my utmost to help you.

11:06

Do you have a way?

11:08

I cannot be certain

11:09

whether this method will work.

11:11

With a ray of hope,

11:12

I am willing to give it a try.

11:14

We'll go to the ancestral land the day after tomorrow.

11:17

Regardless of whether you can activate your meridians,

11:19

you must not give up on learning the Primal Pattern.

11:22

Cultivating at a high level

11:24

might suppress the Grudge Dragon Poison.

11:26

Right.

11:28

(Zhou Mansion)

11:30

The Primal Pattern

11:33

is based on the Spirit,

11:36

tracing the marks to gather the primal energy from the world.

11:40

Alright, class dismissed.

11:45

- Yes. - Yes.

11:49

Your Highness, let me help you.

11:50

(Su Youwei)

11:52

Youwei, how is your grandfather?

11:55

He is fully recovered.

11:56

He'd like to invite you over when you're free.

12:00

I'm afraid you don't want to visit my shabby place.

12:02

I'll go the next holiday.

12:07

I beg you to save my grandfather.

12:12

I can do everything for you.

12:16

I'm begging you.

12:32

Somebody! Help!

12:36

I hear you've activated three meridians.

12:42

I was right to recommend you to Zhou Mansion.

12:44

Within less than a year.

12:46

you've done better than many people.

12:48

Even my father praised me for discovering a talent for Zhou.

12:51

This year's Major Exam is two months away.

12:53

You must work hard.

12:55

I tried so hard to secure your spot

12:56

(Xu Lin) for taking the Major Exam.

12:58

She has lost her spot.

13:01

How did he have the jade pendant for the spot?

13:04

It was my fault.

13:07

The other day, Xu Lin spoke ill of Your Highness.

13:11

Youwei argued with him.

13:12

Xu Lin challenged Youwei to a fight.

13:14

If Youwei won,

13:15

he would apologize to you.

13:17

Otherwise, she would lose the spot to him.

13:20

But Xu Lin is so shameless.

13:22

During the game, he suddenly used a Primal Weapon to defeat Youwei.

13:25

I won fair and square.

13:28

Even if Prince Zhou Yuan wants this spot,

13:30

he also has to win it back.

13:32

He can't activate his meridians,

13:33

- It's okay. - yet you...

13:35

Leave it to me.

13:40

Do you dare to fight me?

13:42

If you win, this jade will be yours.

13:45

If you lose, return the spot to Youwei.

13:48

Since you wish to gift me the jade,

13:50

I will respectfully comply.

13:53

I will wait outside for you.

13:55

Your Highness.

14:00

It's the right thing

14:01

to help a friend out.

14:02

Leave it to me.

14:04

Prince Zhou Yuan hasn't activated meridians.

14:05

He only studies Primal Pattern.

14:07

Can he defeat Xu Lin, who has activated two meridians?

14:09

Who knows?

14:11

Don't worry.

14:12

Since His Highness dares to make a bet,

14:14

he must be secure in his decision.

14:18

I didn't expect Your Highness to do this for a lady.

14:21

Sadly, it's not a rational decision.

14:23

If Your Highness gets hurt,

14:24

- Come on. - please forgive me.

14:25

You attack first.

14:27

Nice try.

14:29

I'll take you down with one punch.

14:37

What are you hiding in your sleeve?

14:43

Iron Skin Pattern.

14:46

Unorthodox techniques.

14:47

Let me

14:48

show you the huge gap between us.

14:51

Activated meridians!

14:57

Right now,

14:58

your speed and strength are not even one-tenth of mine.

15:01

Is that so?

15:12

Light Body Pattern.

15:19

Fight me head-on if you can.

15:21

As you wish.

15:25

You are way out of your league.

15:29

Be careful!

15:44

What?

15:49

He won. His Highness won.

15:51

Xu Lin is so useless.

15:52

Prince Zhou Yuan hasn't even activated meridians.

15:55

He hasn't activated meridians,

15:57

but he used three patterns to defeat Xu Lin.

16:03

You can't even defeat me.

16:05

Don't humiliate yourself in the Major Exam.

16:10

Don't lose your spot again.

16:14

Yes.

16:15

The Major Exam is one month away.

16:17

Everyone is practicing hard.

16:19

If you need resources for cultivation,

16:20

- I can... - You've already helped me a lot.

16:23

You have brought me to this place

16:24

that can change my fate.

16:28

Your Highness, I am grateful to you.

16:32

But I can't depend on you for everything.

16:35

Alright.

16:36

Oh, right, I have to accompany my father to pay respect to my ancestors tomorrow.

16:39

You cultivate on your own.

16:40

Okay.

16:43

Lin, I've done as you said.

16:45

I didn't expect the useless prince...

16:48

Please don't be angry.

16:50

I...

16:58

Lin Feng, stop your bullying.

17:00

My father is the governor of the Zhenxi Prefecture.

17:04

Two meridians activated...

17:20

(Qi Yue)

17:24

Our family has been

17:25

(Ancestral Hall of the Zhou) passing on a story by word-of-mouth.

17:28

There's a great opportunity hidden in the chamber of this ancestral land.

17:31

It can help our family prosper generation after generation.

17:34

And the key to getting this great opportunity

17:36

is the bloodline of our family's heir.

17:40

However, for some reason,

17:41

no emperors through the generations succeeded.

17:44

I believe if you get this opportunity,

17:47

it will not be hard

17:49

to regain Eight Meridians.

18:02

I can't do it either?

18:15

It's opened.

18:18

The Dragon Bloodline is so unique.

18:31

Father, this is...

18:32

It seems you've activated a formation.

18:34

Yuan, careful!

18:39

What's going on?

18:44

This formation seems to be a test.

18:52

It is too harsh.

18:55

Yuan, are you alright?

18:56

The lightning seems to be increasing.

19:05

Give up if you can't bear it.

19:07

We can think of another way.

19:36

I want to avenge my father's missing arm.

19:41

I want to restore the lifespan of my mother.

19:49

I want to take back everything

19:52

that Zhou has lost.

19:59

This is my last chance.

20:01

I cannot fall.

20:04

You won't be able to take it again.

20:06

Yuan, get out quickly.

20:18

I am determined

20:20

to seize this great opportunity.

20:30

Yuan.

20:32

Yuan.

20:40

Could it the formation

20:42

be an illusion?

20:44

Who's there?

20:48

If you want this opportunity,

20:50

come with me.
