Episode 35 recap: Ye Ding Zhi's Descent into Demonic Cultivation

In Episode 35, Ye Ding Zhi easily opened the door, as it was effortless for someone with his innate martial arts talent. Once he entered, Ye Ding Zhi was stunned by the scene inside - while it was bitterly cold outside, the cave was warm and lush.Yue Qing also entered for the first time. In the distance, she saw her father, who was in a comatose state, and as she approached him, his eyes suddenly opened. He then grabbed Yue Qing's neck, seemingly possessed. Ye Ding Zhi could not control him, but once Yue Qing's father regained his senses, he recognized her as his daughter.

The father then said that if they hadn't come, he would have emerged in six months, truly reaching the Ninth Heaven. Yue Qing apologized for delaying him, and mentioned that she had brought him a gift, surprised to find someone with such innate martial arts talent nearby. Yue Qing told Ye Ding Zhi not to worry, as Yi Wen Jun would be fine. Ye Ding Zhi realized that this had all been orchestrated, and Yue Qing said that even if they hadn't done this, someone would have found Ye Ding Zhi eventually. Ye Ding Zhi did not want to be controlled, and they soon started fighting.

Ye Ding Zhi felt he couldn't defeat the father, so he hoped to use the three cultivation methods within him to win. As Ye Ding Zhi and the father were fighting, Yue Yao arrived, and Bai Li Dong Jun also came to help, not wanting Ye Ding Zhi to bear the demonic energy alone, as they had all cultivated the Void Thought Technique.

Ye Ding Zhi was willing to become possessed by demonic energy just to defeat Yue Qing's father, feeling it was fate, and he wanted to pass all his cultivation to Ye Ding Zhi. In the end, Yue Qing's father fell, Bai Li Dong Jun coughed up blood, and Ye Ding Zhi had fully taken control. Ye Ding Zhi even told Yue Qing's father he had to die, and Bai Li Dong Jun, severely weakened, could not stop Ye Ding Zhi. The Wuxiang Shih was also coughing up blood, realizing he couldn't defeat Ye Ding Zhi, and they had an hour left before he died.

Ye Ding Zhi had been completely consumed by the demonic energy. He said he thought everything would turn out better, but he had fallen into someone else's trap. He just wanted to live a peaceful life, but now he didn't want to be a mere pawn - he wanted to be the one moving the chess pieces.

Ye Ding Zhi told Bai Li Dong Jun not to be so foolish like before, and Bai Li Dong Jun was knocked down by Ye Ding Zhi, who was now unstoppable. The only thing Ye Ding Zhi hated now was the Bai Li family, and he just wanted to crush them.

The Wuxiang Shih was shocked to see that Ye Ding Zhi had brought the unconscious Bai Li Dong Jun and Yue Yao with him - Ye Ding Zhi had completely fallen to demonic cultivation. The Wuxiang Shih didn't expect the leader of the Tian Wai Xian to have died, and Ye Ding Zhi had no intention of sparing him. Ye Ding Zhi let out a loud laugh as he drained the Wuxiang Shih of his cultivation.

Bai Li Dong Jun had been drained of all his true qi. He had wanted Ye Ding Zhi to leave with them, but Ye Ding Zhi refused, as they were no longer on the same path. Bai Li Dong Jun was left with just a sliver of true qi - it seemed the world had more disappointment than joy.

Ye Ding Zhi's next goal was to take revenge on anyone who had made Yi Wen Jun leave. He had become the new master of the Tian Wai Xian, and his cultivation was now unmatched. Xiao Ruo Feng learned that Yi Wen Jun was in Tian Qi City, and Ye Ding Zhi's residence had been destroyed, so it seemed Ye Ding Zhi was heading there, but Xiao Ruo Feng said she had backup plans.

Bai Li Dong Jun could not accept that Ye Ding Zhi had fallen to demonic cultivation - it must have been a huge blow to him. Yue Yao was worried about Bai Li Dong Jun, but felt powerless. She thought of Mister Mo Yi, but Bai Li Dong Jun's shixiong was no longer able to accompany them.

Bai Li Dong Jun remembered that whenever Ye Ding Zhi used his cultivation, he would cough up blood. Just as Si Kong Chang Feng had left the city, the young woman had chased after him, which pleased him, as he was happy to have his beloved with him.
