(00:00):
The top of the mountain was 3 hours away from where Sophie and
Jacob were standing. Jacob looked at the gorgeous
view around. Him even.
If he and Sophie didn't get along, at least the beautiful
vistas would make up for it. On the other hand, Sophie was
ecstatic. She was practically running up
the mountain. It was unclear whether it was
(00:21):
because she could not wait to visit the Dragon Temple or that
she was eager to outrace Jacob. Hurry, hurry, see how slow you
are. While climbing upwards.
Sophie turned around to press Jacob to go faster.
Jacob stuck to the speed he was most comfortable with, but kept
a close eye on the path Sophie was taking.
(00:41):
He was walking at a good speed though.
After all, he was an athlete anda pro at long distance running
and knew how to properly distribute his physical
capacity, unlike Sophie who was sprinting without saving some
energy for the latter part of their journey.
About 1/2 an hour later, Sophie,who had been climbing upwards in
(01:01):
haste, was exhausted. Gradually, she began to slow
down, going at a steady pace. Jacob had caught up with Sophie
within minutes after she had slowed down.
In no time, he ran past her. Hey.
Seeing that Jacob was going to outrace her, Sophie felt that he
was going to leave her behind. Jacob was only being playful.
(01:25):
He turned around after taking a few steps ahead of her.
What? Can you not run anymore?
He said with a straight face. I.
Sophie's face was bright red. I just want some water.
She reached her arm towards Jacob and said.
Give me some water. Jacob opened her backpack, took
(01:45):
out a bottle of water and handedit to her.
After gurgling down half a bottle of water, Sophie threw
the bottle back to Jacob and he caught it.
Placing the bottled water back in the backpack, he proceeded to
climb slowly and waited patiently for Sophie to catch
up. Jacob opened up the map and
studied it for a few seconds. Well, we're halfway there.
(02:07):
At our current pace, we should be able to get there in an hour.
Oh my God, another hour. Sophie's face was filled with
despair as she imagined having to repeat the ordeal she had
just gone through. Her body couldn't help but feel
weak and powerless. Jacob rolled up the map and got
(02:27):
up on his feet again. Now that Sophie had finally
caught her breath, she saw that Jacob was ready to move ahead
without much of a break. Her admiration for Jacob
immediately vanished, and she called out to him.
I'm still with you, you know. You could have at least given me
a heads up. Before walking again, Jacob
(02:49):
turned around and looked at her from afar.
What's wrong? He asked.
You, you, you, you. Sophie was so tired that she
couldn't form a complete sentence.
Do you need a break? Jacob asked.
Sophie's face had turned red from suppressing her feelings
(03:09):
and her desire for a break. Even though she did need a
break, she couldn't bring herself to say the words.
She was afraid of giving Jacob areason to mock or to look down
on her. Oh my, it does seem a little
tiring. Let's take a break here then.
Jacob put down the backpack and placed it on the grass.
(03:30):
He then sat down right next to Sophie.
Well, as long as we both know that you are the one who wants
to take a break. I haven't said a word about
being tired. Sophie said with pride in her
voice. Her face looked pale and she was
worn out, but she was fierce anddetermined.
They were sitting quite close and could hear each other's
(03:52):
breath. Jacob suddenly remembered that
there was a camera in the backpack.
He took it out quickly and pointed it at Sophie.
He clicked a picture of her, making her raise her eyebrows.
What did you do that for? She asked.
Well, it's not every day you turn multiple hues of red and
(04:12):
pale from climbing a mountain. It is a moment to be remembered.
Jacob said as he chuckled. Give me that camera, Said Sophie
and lunged at him. Jacob was squatting while
clicking the picture and didn't have his feet firmly on the
ground. He tumbled down even with the
low impact of Sophie's lunge. Sophie was on top of Jacob,
(04:33):
still reaching out for the camera, and Jacob continued to
move his arms around to keep it away from her.
They became children for a few minutes as they fought over the
camera, and their clothes were soon enough soiled with mud.
It was after several minutes that they realized how close
they were to each other. The warmth of their bodies was
suddenly evident to both of them.
(04:54):
They looked at each other and stopped fighting.
Jacob was pinned to the ground with Sophie's hands, clutching
his arms tightly. She slowly released her hands
and began to get up but fell on Jacob's chest.
Jacob slowly held her arms and helped her up.
She looked down on the ground and hid her blush.
Jacob got up too and said. I can delete the picture if you
(05:18):
want. No, that's OK, said Sophie with
her gaze stuck to the grass nearher.
Shoes let's. Take a picture together then, he
suggested. Sophie looked up in surprise.
I, I just thought your mom and dad might like it if we do.
(05:38):
I mean they want us to get alongdon't they?
Said Jacob, trying to break the sexual tension.
Sophie quietly nodded and stood next to him to pose.
They both smiled for the camera and immediately stepped aside
after getting clicked. Promptly, Jacob put the camera
back into the backpack and stoodup.
(05:59):
That's enough of a break, let's get going.
Jacob turned around and saw thatSophie's face was bright red
from trying to catch up. He thought for a second and
decided to slow down. If I had my dragon core, I could
outrun you 100 times. Sophie said quietly.
(06:19):
If you can't climb anymore, it'snot too late for us to turn
back. Jacob proposed sincerely.
There wasn't a trace of mockery in his tone, but Sophie was
determined. Who said I couldn't climb
anymore? I will get to the top of the
mountain for sure. Jacob's mouth curved into a
smile as he actually found Sophie's determination to be
(06:41):
quite commendable. Sophie's face was bright red as
they climbed, and she was sweating profusely, clutching
her fist tightly, she abruptly took a deep breath and outran
Jacob again. After that, she continued to run
even faster. Jacob could only speed up and
run alongside her. Just when they began to doubt
(07:03):
whether they could make it in time, things took a different
turn as they followed the trail and walked around a big, thick
tree, the Golden. Eaves of the.
Dragon Temple suddenly came intotheir view.
Ha, we made it. Sophie shouted out of joy.
She didn't hold back her happiness of overcoming the
mountain. Jacob also felt delighted.
(07:26):
He was surprised, yet satisfied to see that their efforts had
come to fruition. At the same time, he was a
little concerned. It had taken a long time and a
lot of physical strength for them to reach the mountaintop.
Would they be able to get back to the hotel by 7 as they had
planned? Bubble head, hurry up and don't
(07:46):
get lost. Seeing that Jacob was hesitant
and hadn't moved an inch, Sophiecouldn't control her excitement
and yelled at Jacob like he was the one delaying them all along.
Jacob grinned as he felt the notorious Sophie coming back
into her avatar and followed hertowards the temple.
Sophie leaped towards the DragonTemple and Jacob followed her
(08:08):
enthusiastically. Since it was afternoon and the
temple was situated on top of the mountain, there weren't any
visitors. Besides, the temple was kept a
secret from the mortals, and no one except the Dragon clan
visited this serene place. Due to such odd hours, Sophie
and Jacob didn't run into any visitors.
(08:30):
In the yard of the Dragon Temple, volunteers were sweeping
up fallen leaves. Sophie, who was yelling and
shouting with excitement on her way in, had become quiet as soon
as she stepped into the temple. The paving bricks in the yard
were of different colors and hadbeen put.
Together to. Create a massive meditative
pose. In the southwest corner of the
(08:51):
yard, there was a tall ancient pine tree.
Jacob knew that this must be the1000 year old tree Dracon had
mentioned. With a heart filled with
respect, he walked over to it calmly.
As the temple did not have many visitors, the ancient tree had
not been kept inside a fence. It had quietly taken its place
(09:13):
in the corner of the yard. Jacob walked up and reached out
his hand, gently caressing its trunk, which was full of
senescence and fortitude. Its bark was rock solid and
smooth. From its outer appearance, it
did not even look like wood anymore.
Jacob began running the Concentration Cultivation scroll
(09:36):
and was becoming aware of nature's essence nearby.
He was actually able to receive a burst of condensed wood
essence from the rigid bark of the ancient pine tree.
Moreover, the dragon core insidehis body seems to have resonated
with the ancient tree as Jacob could feel it vibrating inside
of him. The warm and humid energy flow
(09:59):
had travelled through Jacob's arms and towards the interior of
the tree. At the same time, the ancient
tree was also emitting a burst of wood essence towards Jacob,
nourishing his body. Sophie watched Jacob quietly.
She understood that he must be having an enlightening moment
and did not want to interrupt him.
(10:22):
After a full minute, Jacob withdrew his hand and breathed
out heavily. The fatigue that he felt from
climbing up the mountain had completely vanished.
Instead, all that was left in him was pure strength and
liveliness. With his heart.
Full of reverence, Jacob slightly bowed to the ancient
(10:42):
tree. Jacob noticed that Sophie had
become dazed watching him. He called to her with a smile.
Let's go. For a few seconds, Sophie could
not react properly. She couldn't help but let out a
sigh and start following Jacob'sfootsteps.
As she passed through the yard and entered the main palace, she
(11:05):
was finally herself again. The smile that Jacob just gave
her lingered in her mind and shesuddenly felt her heart flutter.
Jacob didn't even realize how gently he had just smiled at
Sophie. Upon entering the main palace,
he raised his head to observe a larger than life statue of a
former Dragon king. The main palace was giving off a
(11:29):
grand and magnificent, solemn and awe inspiring atmosphere.
It had instantly made Jacob feelthat this visit was well worth
their effort and time. Sophie was following Jacob
closely. Being surrounded by solemn
looking statues had frightened her a little.
(11:50):
Through the main palace they walked into another yard.
There was a stone Hut to the east of the yard, and inside of
the Hut stood a stone monument that seemed to have been there
forever somehow, after the Enlightenment at the ancient
tree, Jacob suddenly felt that Dracon had told them about the
ancient tree and the stone monument on purpose.
(12:13):
Jacob stood in front of the stone monument and began reading
carefully the text inscribed on it.
It is everlasting and cannot be named.
It is the original void of non being.
This oneness is the essence of adragon which is invisible and
formless. It may be regarded as vague and
(12:36):
intangible. When the oneness comes forward,
its front cannot be seen. When one tries to follow it, 1
cannot see its rear. Abiding with the original
Scriptures, one can master the presence.
No matter how hard Jacob tried, he was only able to make sense
(12:57):
of a couple sentences. Standing next to Jacob, Sophie
was also reading the words on the monument in silence.
If desire shall conceal true self, true self will manifest
itself even more. If desire shall weaken the true
self, the true self will strengthen itself even more.
(13:21):
If desire shall abandoned the true self, the true self will
prosper even more. If desire shall deprive the true
self, the true self will give even more.
This is known as the enlightenednature that is subtle yet
profound. Gentleness overcomes strength,
(13:43):
and the meek overcomes the strong.
The more Jacob read, the more difficult it was for him to
understand. Likewise, with her brows deeply
furrowed, Sophie seems to be having a hard time deciphering
it herself. This was the way to command
(14:04):
water, thought Jacob. Suddenly, a sense of
enlightenment crossed his mind. It was as though an awareness
had risen from the bottom of his.
Heart it was. About to breakthrough his chest
and reach for his head, Jacob then thought of the
prosperousness and liveliness ofthe ancient tree again.
(14:24):
It reminded him of the times when he was working on math
problems. He felt as though his thinking
was now finally on the right track and was about to be able
to solve a challenging problem. Water gives life and nourishes
all things on earth. Water breaks through and
overcomes all impediments, he said out loud.
(14:47):
An unexpected bell had abruptly interrupted Jacob's reflection.
Sophie, who was lost in her own thoughts, had also jumped at the
loud noise. Jacob turned around and looked
at his phone. He realized that they had spent
precisely half an hour standing in front of this stone monument.
(15:09):
The continually falling leaves had found homes on the tops of
their heads and their shoulders,and the young volunteers who
were performing cleaning chores had also returned to rest.
Jacob and Sophie were now alone in this empty yard.
It is quite late now, let's start heading back.
Jacob said. OK.
(15:32):
Sophie responded obediently. It seemed that her thoughts were
still with the writings on the monument.
Jacob reached out and shook off the leaves that had fallen in
Sophie's hair and on her shoulders.
Sophie was caught off guard by this gesture and only looked at
Jacob as he continued picking the leaves stuck to her hair.
This guy is actually quite nice to me.
(15:54):
Sophie secretly thought to herself.
On the other hand, Jacob did notput much thought into his
gesture. He looks down and patted off the
leaves on himself before leadingSophie out of the front gate.
Dusk made the mountain look evenmore beautiful and the last
beams of sunlight were lighting up the sky like a painting.
(16:16):
Let's head down quickly. Jacob urged Sophie as he
realized that it would soon be dark and it would become
difficult to descend. Sophie nodded and followed him.
The way down was less challenging than the way up.
However, since the sun had gone down considerably, it affected
their visibility. As they could not see the steps
(16:36):
beneath their feet clearly. They had to move more cautiously
and slowly. The trail was covered with moist
grass, and stepping on them seemed like nature was playing
its own kind of music. The gentle stream flowing nearby
chimed into the song, and the gentle breeze kept billowing to
create a beautiful rhythm of themountain.
(16:59):
Sophie and Jacob held hands as it grew dark.
The atmosphere made them feel closer than ever and they
casually intertwined their fingers.
They were returning not just with an improved relationship,
but also with a lot more awareness.
They seemed to have developed a more profound understanding of
the knowledge that the ancient Dragons had left behind.
(17:22):
The Dragon Temple and pavilion stood far away in the seclusion
of the endless green forest, conveniently borrowing the views
of nature. These structures had completely
become one with the mountain andforest.
Such a splendid sight was a great experience for Jacob and
made him respect the elders who had meditated on this mountain.
(17:44):
Jacob was immersed in the view around him as he walked and
didn't realize when Sophie had let go of his hand.
When he suddenly remembered and turned around to check on her,
she wasn't there. Jacob rushed back the path he
had just come from and began looking for Sophie.
Where did Sophie disappear all of a sudden?
Will Jacob be able to find her? How would Draken and Helen react
(18:08):
when Jacob tells them about the disappearance of Sophie?
We'll find out over the next fewepisodes.

An unexpected bell had abruptly interrupted Jacob's reflection.
Sophie, who was lost in her own thoughts, had also jumped at the
loud noise. Jacob turned around and looked
at his phone. He realized that they had spent
precisely half an hour standing in front of this stone monument.
(15:09):
The continually falling leaves had found homes on the tops of
their heads and their shoulders,and the young volunteers who
were performing cleaning chores had also returned to rest.
Jacob and Sophie were now alone in this empty yard.
It is quite late now, let's start heading back.
Jacob said. OK.
(15:32):
Sophie responded obediently. It seemed that her thoughts were
still with the writings on the monument.
Jacob reached out and shook off the leaves that had fallen in
Sophie's hair and on her shoulders.
Sophie was caught off guard by this gesture and only looked at
Jacob as he continued picking the leaves stuck to her hair.
This guy is actually quite nice to me.
(15:54):
Sophie secretly thought to herself.
On the other hand, Jacob did notput much thought into his
gesture. He looks down and patted off the
leaves on himself before leadingSophie out of the front gate.
Dusk made the mountain look evenmore beautiful and the last
beams of sunlight were lighting up the sky like a painting.
(16:16):
Let's head down quickly. Jacob urged Sophie as he
realized that it would soon be dark and it would become
difficult to descend. Sophie nodded and followed him.
The way down was less challenging than the way up.
However, since the sun had gone down considerably, it affected
their visibility. As they could not see the steps
(16:36):
beneath their feet clearly. They had to move more cautiously
and slowly. The trail was covered with moist
grass, and stepping on them seemed like nature was playing
its own kind of music. The gentle stream flowing nearby
chimed into the song, and the gentle breeze kept billowing to
create a beautiful rhythm of themountain.
(16:59):
Sophie and Jacob held hands as it grew dark.
The atmosphere made them feel closer than ever and they
casually intertwined their fingers.
They were returning not just with an improved relationship,
but also with a lot more awareness.
They seemed to have developed a more profound understanding of
the knowledge that the ancient Dragons had left behind.
(17:22):
The Dragon Temple and pavilion stood far away in the seclusion
of the endless green forest, conveniently borrowing the views
of nature. These structures had completely
become one with the mountain andforest.
Such a splendid sight was a great experience for Jacob and
made him respect the elders who had meditated on this mountain.
(17:44):
Jacob was immersed in the view around him as he walked and
didn't realize when Sophie had let go of his hand.
When he suddenly remembered and turned around to check on her,
she wasn't there. Jacob rushed back the path he
had just come from and began looking for Sophie.
Where did Sophie disappear all of a sudden?
Will Jacob be able to find her? How would Draken and Helen react
(18:08):
when Jacob tells them about the disappearance of Sophie?
We'll find out over the next fewepisodes.
