This chapter's epigraph is from the opening lines of the first chapter, "The strongest cultivation system" . It's a reference to the fact that the phantom sky's strongest weapon is the "sinister furnace-based spirit operation" , which means that it can burn alien energy . This is the first time we've heard of this kind of thing, and we're not sure if it's true or not. We're also not sure whether or not the seal on the boy's chest is a spirit seal or a seal of some sort. The elder says that's fine, but he can't prove it by looking at the seal. He says that if the seal is a seal, it means that the boy is an elder, which is a status reserved for those who have achieved great merit. So the elder says he'll treat the boy. He also says that the seal means that phantom sky is using the boy to open up a rift in time, space, and time and space again, so that evil god Abul can come back to earth. He adds that Pan Gu fought to seal the rift in ancient times, and the two men are working together to open it up again so that Abul will return to the earth. So they're going to have to tread very carefully.
