In this chapter, the protagonist explains how to earn a "sword token" , which is a pass to the sword village, by winning a match. Each time he wins a match, he gets a new star added to his token, which he can use to enter the "divine extremity realm" . The protagonist explains that he has only three days left until the month is up, so he needs to earn the sword token now. He notices that the cultivator on his left has won a match with a single move, and he wants to replace his token to an eight-star token. The auction for the nine-star sword tokens is about to begin, so the protagonist decides to take a look at the price. The base price for the token is one hundred innate energy, which means that the protagonist will have to pay a hundred and ten innate energy to buy the token. This is a "kind of righteous act" to open the village for the swordmen from all around the world, and it also "inspires the spirit" of cultivators. He wonders why the protagonist can't just use the name "the sword village" for his own personal gain, instead of using it as a token for the sake of the community? The protagonist points out that if the protagonist cannot afford the token, he should get out of the village.
