This chapter opens with a description of the key to the secret chamber. It's the ancient inheritance that the sixth-rank sect had placed in the path of trial-takers before their destruction. The key is a symbol of the inheritance of the emperor blood devil, and it's a symbol that allows the sixth rank sect to have all of its inheritance in their possession. The narrator explains that this is the key that allows them to destroy the barrier between heaven and hell. He explains that the barrier is too powerful for him to open with his spear. He wants to destroy it with his fist of zenith demon, but he can't because he doesn't have enough innate energy to do so. He asks the narrator to take away the crystal.
