In this chapter, we learn that Ming's father, Fang, has been reading a book about the divine demon, and that he has been trying to practice his martial arts since dawn. He has also been practicing from dusk until dawn, during which time he spars with the strongest martial artists in the area. Fang says that Ming is improving at such a fast rate that he hasn't been able to do so for years. He says that cultivating is like pushing a big stone down a steep mountain, but the more powerful you are, the more unstoppable it becomes. He concludes that cultivating has made him a divine demon.
