Episode 26 recap: Qing Lin was killed by Gu Jin.
Gu Jin, in the underworld, received information from A Yin and wanted to ask Ao Ge for help in finding A Yin. However, Ao Ge told him that A Yin could not possibly survive under the sword of his primordial spirit. Upon seeing Hong Ruo's true intentions, Lin Mo and Hong Yi were both very surprised, and Qing Lin revealed her true nature.
Gu Jin questioned Qing Lin if she framed A Yin, and Qing Lin answered with resentment that A Yin, as a low-level spirit beast, repeatedly ruined her plans and deserved to die. Seeing A Yin disappear without a trace, Gu Jin was filled with immense pain. His original intention was to protect A Yin because he knew that A Yin had absolutely no demonic energy. If she were to undergo the punishment of the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, she would have no chance of survival. That's why he decided on this compromise. He first revealed A Yin's identity as a Water Spirit Beast, then destroyed Mount Ningyun and sealed A Yin's immortal bones, rendering her incapable of harming anyone. However, he never expected this outcome.
As Gu Jin's sword was about to fall, A Yin also pondered deeply. She recalled the happy times she had spent with Gu Jin, but everything became impossible after Gu Jin ascended to godhood. In order to ensure the safe birth of her sister, Ah Yun, she knelt and begged Gu Jin. She willingly endured the punishment of the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder and pleaded with him not to destroy Mount Ningyun.
However, Gu Jin did not listen to her. When Gu Jin raised his hand and destroyed Mount Ningyun, her heart died along with the mountain. Gu Jin tried to use his soul imprint to preserve a trace of A Yin's immortal energy, but it was all in vain. When he could no longer sense A Yin's presence in the Three Realms, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and fell into a coma.
Inside the Nine Abyssal Purgatory, Ming Qi, the demon god who was observing Gu Jin, smiled and said to the cultivator beside him that he had predicted Gu Jin could not escape this life-or-death calamity. The cultivator, Xiu Yuan, insisted on making a bet with him, but the result proved otherwise. Hong Chou looked at Gu Jin with heartache, unable to understand why a divine lord like him would fall unconscious. Qing Shan, standing beside him, sighed and replied that Gu Jin had just lost his fellow disciple and now lost his beloved. Anyone would find it unbearable.
While Gu Jin was unconscious, he suddenly felt a trace of A Yin's presence and sat up abruptly. Gu Jin went to the underworld and asked Ao Ge for help in finding A Yin because he sensed that A Yin's information was in the underworld. However, Ao Ge told him that A Yin could not possibly survive under the sword of his primordial spirit. Seeing that Ao Ge refused to help, Gu Jin became determined to find A Yin in the underworld on his own.
Ao Ge made him suffer a bit and then sent him to challenge the Zhongling Palace. The Zhongling Palace was extremely dangerous, and Gu Jin's old wounds had not healed yet. He only passed two trials before falling into the Sea of Life and Death. In the end, it was Xiu Yuan and the Three Lives Stone that saved him.
修元和Ao Ge's words were exactly the same—A Yin had already perished. Gu Jin left the Underworld, and Qing Shan delivered some news to him: Qing Lin had intentionally framed A Yin. Upon hearing this, Gu Jin decided to settle the score with Qing Lin. Yan Shuang and Hong Yi, while searching for A Yin's celestial energy, accidentally stumbled upon their aunt's headdress, realizing that something had happened to her. Lin Mo soon confirmed their suspicions, revealing that their aunt had used her spiritual power to create a bracelet to protect Gu Jin but was ultimately killed by Qing Lin.
Upon learning the truth, the two of them led troops to exact revenge on Qing Lin. However, Qing Lin had already prepared for their arrival. Qing Lin revealed her true form and presented Hong Ruo's inner core, intending to destroy it in front of them. Hong Yi engaged in a fierce battle with Qing Lin, but under the influence of the demonic energy from the Nine Abyss, Qing Lin fought even more fiercely. As the two were on the verge of defeat, Gu Jin suddenly appeared before them.
Gu Jin interrogated Qing Lin, asking if she had framed A Yin. Qing Lin answered resentfully that A Yin, as a low-level spirit beast, had repeatedly ruined her plans and deserved to die. Upon hearing this, Gu Jin helped Hong Yi eliminate Qing Lin.
A thousand years later, Hua Shu had become the representative emperor in the Immortal Realm. The Peacock King advised her to get closer to Gu Jin because only with his support could she become a true emperor. Throughout these thousand years, Hua Shu had been tirelessly searching for A Yin's celestial energy and had successfully hatched Ah Yun.
In order to find A Yin's celestial energy, Hua Shu even refined a Purple Cloud Bead. One day, he sensed A Yin's information again, but when he went to investigate, Xiu Yuan had hidden the information. After Gu Jin left, Xiu Yuan discovered that Gu Jin's soul silver was within the information, finally understanding why A Yin's celestial energy information could be preserved. He placed it inside a Blood Lotus to nourish it, leaving it up to luck whether she could survive.
