Till the End of the Moon Episode 35 Recap
> Till the End of the Moon Recap
Cang Jiumin endured severe torture from lightning on the Demon Subduing Peak, but he steadfastly refused to reveal that the evil bone was now sealed within Li Susu. Faced with accusations from cultivators, including his master Zhao You, he chose to bear the suffering alone. He confessed to using the God-slaughtering Crossbow, admitting he had overestimated his ability to control his inherent nature, and tragically offered himself for execution, stating that he couldn't manage his true self.
Chief Cen of Chixiao Sect, devastated by his son's death, demanded Jiumin's life. Just as the situation escalated, Di Mian intervened, warning everyone that simply killing the devil fetus would only cause the evil bone to reach its peak power, leading to the Devil God's resurrection. He proposed that all immortal sects unite their powers to forcibly extract the demonic weapon and evil bone from Cang Jiumin.
Consequently, Chief Cen, Qu Xuanzi, and Zhao You prepared to use their combined strength for the extraction. Meanwhile, Chongyu awakened an unconscious Li Susu, who, sensing the grave misunderstanding surrounding Cang Jiumin, rushed to the Demon Subduing Peak. She declared that Cang Jiumin could not become the Devil God. She revealed that he was Tantai Jin, the King of Jing Kingdom from five centuries ago, and indeed the chosen owner of the evil bone.
However, she explained that she had personally removed his evil bone during that time. When the other cultivators expressed disbelief, Li Susu offered to use the Truth Jade Slip from Chixiao Sect, a powerful artifact that could reveal her true memories, to prove her words. Despite Cang Jiumin's desperate attempts to stop her from revealing such a dangerous truth, Li Susu insisted it was the only way to persuade them.
Through the Truth Jade Slip, the immortal sect disciples witnessed Li Susu's memories, confirming the truth of her words. They saw her journey back in time, extracting the evil bone from Tantai Jin, and then destroying it under a lightning tribulation, thereby altering the prophecy of the Devil God's inevitable resurgence.
Cang Jiumin, witnessing these memories, finally understood that Li Susu's past actions, which seemed contradictory, were all born from her desire to prevent him from becoming the Devil God while also fearing his demise. He realized she had sacrificed immensely for him, expressing his gratitude and newfound desire to protect her in return. Gongye Jiwu, upon seeing a past version of himself, Xiao Lin, in Susu's memories, was left deeply confused about his own identity.
Li Susu affirmed that while one cannot choose their birth, they can choose between good and evil, and Cang Jiumin would never again become the Devil God. Chief Cen, still consumed by grief, refused to release Cang Jiumin. Li Susu further clarified that it was Si Ying and Jing Mie who murdered Chief Cen's son, and Cang Jiumin had only activated the God-slaughtering Crossbow to save innocent civilians, sustaining serious injuries in the process.
Qu Xuanzi agreed, arguing that being born a devil fetus was not Cang Jiumin's choice, and immortals should distinguish between good and evil. He proposed confining Cang Jiumin in Hengyang Sect's Mount Changze spiritual vein temporarily to observe his future conduct, a suggestion that most cultivators accepted. Chief Cen, however, remained bitter, hinting at future retribution. Qu Xuanzi and Zhao You later confronted Di Mian, questioning his decision to expose Cang Jiumin's identity without prior discussion.
Di Mian explained his millennia-long hatred for the Devil God, emphasizing his primary goal was to prevent the Devil God's rebirth, not just to find his daughter. He apologized for his recklessness and promised not to trouble Cang Jiumin further. From Di Mian, they learned the method to seal the God-slaughtering Crossbow. They collaborated with Chief Cen to seal the formidable weapon, entrusting its safekeeping to Chixiao Sect.
Unbeknownst to them, Chief Cen, still mourning his son, secretly harbored thoughts of utilizing the crossbow's power to avenge himself and assert Chixiao Sect's dominance. With the immediate crisis averted, Cang Jiumin held a recovering Li Susu, confirming the evil bone was indeed sealed within her. Worried for her safety, he was reassured by Li Susu, who explained her pure-bodied nature naturally resisted devil energy.
She added that the abundant spiritual power of Mount Changze would keep the evil bone dormant. They vowed to face future dangers together, and Li Susu encouraged Cang Jiumin that he could now live openly without fear. Gongye Jiwu, troubled by the memories of Xiao Lin, sought answers about his lineage from his master, Qu Xuanzi. Seeing his persistence, Qu Xuanzi finally revealed his past, prompting Gongye Jiwu to embark on a journey of self-discovery.
During his travels, he visited Mo Nv at her embroidery shop. Mo Nv, overjoyed to see him, expressed her longing and asked him to stay. Reaffirming his identity as Gongye Jiwu, he found comfort in her presence and agreed to remain. Di Mian, still vigilant against the Devil God's return despite the sealing of the Bone-refining Seal and the God-slaughtering Crossbow, expressed his desire for a stronger sealing power.
Qu Xuanzi suggested using Xiaoyao Sect's ancient artifact, the Heart-guarding Scale, to create a grand barrier. Zhao You revealed the Heart-guarding Scale was damaged and needed repair. Li Susu proposed Cang Jiumin, having experienced Bo're Life alongside her and witnessed Ming Ye's divine life, was the ideal candidate to refine it. Qu Xuanzi and Zhao You agreed. Under their guidance, Cang Jiumin successfully refined the Heart-guarding Scale and established the Mountain Protecting Formation.
This experience deepened his understanding that good and evil originate from one's heart, not from one's birth as immortal or demon. Knowing the evil bone resided in Li Susu, Qu Xuanzi and Zhao You confirmed Cang Jiumin's commitment to stay at Hengyang Sect, living with Li Susu to guard the evil bone. Cang Jiumin accompanied Li Susu to Heaven Lake for a peaceful stroll.
There, Li Susu realized that the true purpose of her father's arrangements for her was to purify Cang Jiumin's devil energy, not her own. Cang Jiumin affirmed his decision to remain at Mount Changze with her, proclaiming that no earthly scenery compared to being with her for all eternity. He shared his 500-year long search for her, and his daily longing to make her happy upon their reunion.
Moved by his words and his profound change, they passionately embraced and kissed. Li Susu then noticed the permanent soul-slaying spike marks on Cang Jiumin's heart. Unable to remove them, she kissed the marks, signifying her love and acceptance, and hoped for a fresh start for them both.
