Yeah, the call for an uprising being edited out would make sense. You'd think they'd also cut out the bartender guy on the streets of Dixing calling to storm the palace in episode 39. Maybe that's allowed because Dixing and the palace are seen as decadent and old? But an uprising in Haixing is too close to modern China? There's probably some rationale behind the other cuts, but it only makes sense to Chinese censors...

ETA: Okay, this might be a stretch, but in the episode 20 and episode 23 cuts, there's dialogue referring to sacrifice (ep 20: Ye Zun says Zhu Jiu would willingly give his life to become part of Ye Zun's light; ep 23: Shen Wei says he'd sacrifice himself to defeat Ye Zun). Not sure about the cut from episode 32, though Dixing being under control and violence is mentioned. The episode 37 cut is the most head-scratching one. All I can come up with is Zhao Yunlan saying everything in the SID was "old and busted" when he took over (implying an office of the government was in disrepair?) but this feels like a really long stretch! :D
