In this chapter, the reader is introduced to the "primal elements" of the universe, which are the "soul, senses, strength and innate energy" of all living things. After a saint creates a world, their soul, senses and strength will fuse into everything in the universe. The saint who created this world dropped his primal energy in this place. The spring of strength is infinite, but if you drink too much of it, you might not be able to get it. Leichan only drank ten mouthfuls of the spring water, and he has become the new Patriarch of the mountain-cracker clan. The smell of spring water makes the reader think he can jump over the ravine, but he can't because the wind is blowing in the opposite direction. He can feel the gravitational pull from all directions, which is why he is able to float mid air. He feels like he's back to where he was before, but there's still a gravitational pull that's not stopping. He gulps the water and feels a "firey force going down his throat" . The water feels like it's "eating the meat of the beasts" , but its effect is faster. He looks around and sees a bunch of water on the ceiling of the cave. The gravitational pull is distorted, so he'd have to jump off the ceiling. He tries to climb up the cave walls, but they're too tight. He wonders if he can get to the ceiling by using the lower tiers of the saint's chain, but the chains are too tight to get up. He's worried that the spring in the ravine might turn upside down.
