This chapter's epigraph comes from a conversation between Ren and Ren's father, who has just returned from the battlefield. Ren tells Ren that his family has invested in him for a long time in hopes that he will be able to repay them in the future. This is a dead end, he says, because what he fears the most is always stronger than his own. Ren wonders if it is possible to summon a "avatar" of anything. He wonders who is the most powerful. Ren thinks that his father is even stronger than the one summoned by his sister. Ren also wonders if luozheng is even able to comprehend the meaning of "dao" in the immortal realm. Ren says that he doesn't believe that he can pass the stage even with his sister, who is stronger than her father. Ren warns everyone to be on their guard, because the hundred "reliever snake" is a fifth-class beast from the buzhou mountain.
