In the village of Luotianxing, the only cultivator, we learn that the chief of the village is a "certified divine cultivator" . This means that he is a true god, a person who has attained the highest level of knowledge in the realm of heaven and earth. The other cultivators in the village are also true gods, but they do not attain the highest levels of knowledge as the chief does. The chief is also a "flying eagle" cultivator, meaning that he has mastered the art of sword fighting from the mirror-city. The two of them discuss the technique of the flying eagle, and the chief says that the sword is straight, but the measured steps in the technique are wrong. He says that his brother's technique is crude, and that the divine people do not have the same level of skill as the secondary ones. He tells the boy that he will teach him the first step of the footwork. The boy wants to be his disciple, but he says that he cannot take him as his disciple right now, because he is afraid that the people in his village are attacking him.
