Immortal Samsara 沉香如屑 Episode 1

Yan Dan , the Nymphaea (water lily) Fairy, was standing on the bridge of the Heavenly Penalty Terrace, with a white dress floating in the wind. She threw herself over the bridge....saying if she knew this is what will happen she wish that the water lily never bloomed. The story goes back five hundred years.

The story goes back 500 years. The ancient legacy left behind two four-leafed Nymphaea plants that opened side by side. When the Fairy of the Myriad Dharma Pavilion looked around in the crowd and did not see Ying Yuan, she inquired with the Star King of Guido, who knew that Ying Yuan was a loner and would not come here to join the fun. At this moment, Ying Yuan is leisurely drinking tea and playing chess in his own Diffractive Void Heavenly Palace.

When the demon elder Shuo Hua wanted to use the two four-leaved Nymphaea plants to celebrate the birthday of the evil god Xuan Xiang, the Immortal Commander Fire Deity stopped him and sneered at Xuan Xiang, who was less than 10,000 years old, angering Shuo Hua, who threatened to steal the Nymphaea flowers. They started to fight. Shuo Hua pushed him harder and harder, and his moves were so deadly that Huo De was gradually overwhelmed.

Ying Yuan arrived just in time and subdued Shuo Hua without much effort. He saved the two Nymphaea plants and transformed them into two flower-like maidens. Shuo Hua got mad and threw a sword at the girls and Ying Yuan smashed the sword but it did manage to cut the oldest sister's arm a bit. Then the emperor of the spirit world arrived at the news, he affirmed what Ying Yuan had done and asked him to name the two girls, who were named Zhixie (older sister)and Yan Dan(younger sister).

After three hundred years, Zhixie was promoted to be the deputy head of the Myriad Law Pavilion. She hoped that Yan Dan would pass the examination on immortal law and become a leader, but Yan Dan was not interested in this and preferred to be a small immortal attendant in obscurity.

The Myriad Law Pavilion holds a star-receiving ceremony every five hundred years, where all those with immortal rank gather at the Horn of Heaven to receive the blessings of the four emperors. Yan Dan is eager to try it, but low ranking people like her are forbidden to enter, and the Corner of Heaven is heavily guarded, so Luo Ming wants to find another way to open her eyes. Zhixie led the fairy attendants to get ready for the ceremony, but then the head attendant, the Fairy of Firefly Lantern, arrived and pulled the Nymphaea flower from Zhixie's head and tore it to pieces, sending her to the most remote corner to guard the ceremony.

The ceremony has already started, but because of the lack of spiritual power, they only see Ying Yuan's back in the mirror and break off. Ying Yuan's spiritual power turned into the sky full of stars have fallen, the immortals bowed to him. The immortal attendants of the Hidden Stone Pavilion had long heard that Ying Yuan was handsome and dashing, and also had strong spiritual power, knowing that Ying Yuan lived in seclusion, they had never seen Ying Yuan's real face, and Yan Dan felt that Ying Yuan was just like that.

After the ceremony, Zhixie collected the stars that had fallen down into a porcelain vase. The Fairy of the Firefly Lamp bad-mouthed her and made fun of Yan Dan for being lazy.  The Firefly Lamp fairy tried to use her magic to force the stars to be dumped out of the vase, but Ying Yuan flew in just in time to stop this from happening. He scolded the Lamp fairy and left.

Zhixie gave the porcelain vase filled with stars to Yan Dan , she wanted to become an immortal soon, so she could have super magic power to protect Yan Dan, like Ying Yuan. Yan Dan likes to write plays and wants to become a storyteller, the two sisters encouraged each other.

Yan Dan is naughty by nature and was sent to be a fairy attendant beside the fairy ruler of Celestial Deity. The fairy ruler of Celestial Deity let her feed the fish at the hanging heart cliff, and there was a fairy turtle on the boulder at the entrance, which was turned over every day. This day, Yan Dan went out and saw the turtle being turned over again, she hurriedly caught up with that person, that person was Ying Yuan, Yan Dan felt familiar, just could not remember where she had seen him, she just wanted to reach out and grab Ying Yuan to see Celestial Deity Immortal, Ying Yuan flicked his sleeve and floated away.

Yan Dan came to the Celestial Deity to complain, her let her go to catch the person who did the bad thing, promised to lend her the "Linjiang Four Dreams" playbook after the success, Yan Dan naturally begged for it. The Immortal Lord of Celestial Deity is trying to decipher the chess game laid by Ying Yuan, the Six Crown Game, and he cannot figure it out. Yan Dan was able to figure it out for him.

Yan Dan seized all the time to write the play, she wanted to finish the play as soon as possible, to help  Zhixie o become an immortal sooner. if one wants to become an immortal ruler, one must go to Earth to experience some hardship. Yan Dan states that she wants to go to the emperor of the spirit realm to ask to go  through this hardship for Zhixie.

Yan Dan tied a thread to the turtle's leg, and then crouched not far away with her friend to try and catch the person who flipped the turtle. Ying Yuan overturned the turtle without pulling the thread, and took the opportunity to tease Yan Dan, laughing at her stupidity, Yan Dan was so angry that he gnashed her teeth.

Yan Dan came to the fairy ruler of Celestial Deity to complain, and overheard the fairy attendant Shi Yun taking care of the princess Chao Rang and the dragon son Ao Xuan, so Yan Dan reached out to tease the two little dragons, and was bitten by Ao Xuan. Yan Dan was in pain and flung her hand, Ao Xuan was thrown into the lotus pond and fell on a small black fish. Yan Dan rushed to find him. Shi Yun found Ao Xuan. The little black fish glared at Yan Dan, and Yan Dan apologized to it, but the little black fish left in anger. Yan Dan stated that when that fish turns into human form she wanted to teach it how to be a decent human.

Yan Dan wanted to learn some spells to deal with the turtle turners, she came to Zhi Xi for help. Zhi Xi was at the Diffractive Void Heavenly Palace holding a trade with a jade belt of mixed gems on it. She promised to teach Yan Dan some magic spell, Yan Dan was overjoyed so she hugged Zhi Xi excitedly, which accidentally knocked the jade belt out of  Zhi Xi's hand and it hit the ground. The gems broke into pieces and Zhi Xi was shocked, this is Ying Yuan's favorite jade belt.
