Episode 36 recap: Bai Li Dong Jun Enters the Boundless Realm
In Episode 36, Bai Li Dong Jun and Yue Yao went to the city and happened to hear a lot of news about Si Kong Chang Feng. Bai Li Dong Jun even planned to write a letter to him personally, since they now knew that Si Kong Chang Feng was with the Wind Lady. Bai Li Dong Jun felt that Yue Yao had suffered unfairly during this time, so he decided to take her out to sea with him, and thus bid farewell to his senior disciple. The senior disciple said that he hoped to see the spirited Bai Li Dong Jun again upon his return.
At night, Yue Yao could not hold back her tears as she stood on the deck. After all, her family had witnessed her father's passing and her sister's injury. She had thought she could change their minds and make them abandon the plan to destroy the Northern Li, but in the end, Ye Ding Zhi became the leader of the Heavenly Beyond. From childhood, Yue Yao had spent too little time with her father and had no cherished memories with him. Bai Li Dong Jun was by her side, constantly comforting her. At least Yue Yao now had Bai Li Dong Jun's company, or else she might have felt even more distressed.
As Bai Li Dong Jun and Yue Yao journeyed together, they finally saw Senior Mo Yi in the canyon. Bai Li Dong Jun complained that even though Senior Mo Yi was nearly forty, he still acted like he did in the past. Mo Yi had a private conversation with Bai Li Dong Jun, inquiring about Li Chang Sheng's situation. Bai Li Dong Jun said that his master had gone on a journey, and Mo Yi told him that one day he would go to guard the four corners of the world.
Mo Yi told Bai Li Dong Jun that by crossing the stone tablet, he would see the realm he wanted to see. Sometimes, the so-called ending is only what people ascribe to it, and the true sky has no end. Mo Yi then opened a large door and informed Bai Li Dong Jun that this was another realm.
After Bai Li Dong Jun entered, he saw a completely different scene - something he had never witnessed before. The ancient texts described the so-called ending as a bottomless cliff, and the surging flames would set the entire sky ablaze. Whenever a divine presence approached, deities from various places would come to pay their respects. The realm before him might be the ending, or it might be something he had imagined.
This experience greatly broadened Bai Li Dong Jun's horizons. There were so many grand and magnificent colors in the world, and merely seeing the rivers and seas flow into the ocean was not enough. Mo Yi told him that as long as the path was not completed, he could turn back. Now that he had seen such beautiful scenery, perhaps he should create even higher internal cultivation. Mo Yi said he wanted Bai Li Dong Jun to understand the principles himself, so that he could enhance his magical arts.
Mo Yi and Yue Yao waited at the door for Bai Li Dong Jun. Yue Yao observed the rising and falling of the tides, just like the cycle of a lifetime. She spoke of her father's past, and how her carefree sister had been changed by the passage of time, altering their thoughts and lives.
Bai Li Dong Jun has been diligently cultivating and has suddenly reached another realm. At this moment, there are thunderstorms, but he is trapped in the clouds and cannot even see Ye Ding Zhi. Yue Yao has been locked up by Ye Ding Zhi, and he has now completely turned evil. Yue Yao wants him to let her out, but Ye Ding Zhi refuses and says he needs a puppet, and since Yue Yao likes this kind of game, he will oblige her.
Yue Yao cries and begs Ye Ding Zhi to come back. Mo Qi Xuan has also found Ye Ding Zhi, and since he cannot defeat him now, he can only comply for the time being, and Ye Ding Zhi agrees. Bai Li Dong Jun feels like he has seen Ye Ding Zhi again, and he still has a fixation on him. Ye Ding Zhi tells Bai Li Dong Jun that his path has been completed, and he has willingly reached this point, but Bai Li Dong Jun still does not want to give up on Ye Ding Zhi, and can only watch him fall into the abyss. But at the last moment, Bai Li Dong Jun transforms into a dragon to try to save Ye Ding Zhi, but is ultimately constrained by long iron chains.
All of this is because of the effects of the laws forged by Bai Li Dong Jun. Soon, a year has passed, and Bai Li Dong Jun's spellcasting has greatly improved, but he is now unkempt. His only goal now is to quickly go back and take a bath, but before leaving, he must undergo a trial by Senior Mo Yi.
He successfully passes the trial and sees the longed-for Yue Yao, who personally helps him shave his beard. Although he has been in the stone tablet for a year, it felt like just a few days. With Yue Yao's help, Bai Li Dong Jun has returned to his handsome original appearance.
He cannot resist kissing Yue Yao, and now that his studies are complete, Bai Li Dong Jun is ready to leave, as they have more important things to do. He briefly bids farewell to Mo Yi. On the bed, Yue Yao sees her sister Yin Luo Xia, and from their conversation, learns that half a year ago, Ye Ding Zhi has already begun to make moves on the northern border. His subordinates are going with a determination to die, as Ye Ding Zhi has truly become a demonic patriarch. Bai Li Dong Jun swears that he will bring Ye Ding Zhi back.
