In this chapter, we learn that the masters of the swords are dead, and that they have nowhere else to go. Howl is severely wounded and cannot explain matters clearly. He tells us that he is blazing fire armor, forged 30,000 years ago. He asks why he rejected the Buddha's proposal. In his heart, he says, there is only one person who is more important to him than the survival of the world. If he cannot save the ones he loves, what is the world worth saving? He says that even though he can leave the world at any point, he cannot bear to let the weapon spirits suffer. He wants to find a way to merge the world with his own world. In one year, the purple-robed man will take the world away from him. The highest realm for him is the Saint realm. However, there are three realms of Heaven, Heaven's blessing, enlightenment, and the Void beyond Heaven. The greatest cultivator in the world, lu xian, surpassed the Void realm and went on in search of more magnificent worlds. He has an idea, but he needs help to bring his master here.
