The group is shocked to find that the cave has been split into two. Senior faxiang asks if the reincarnation is the same as the reincarnation orb, and everyone exclaims that the fiends have dared to claim themselves gods. Before they enter the cave, they heard from their master that the cult had a stone in the cave that was slashed into two, but the stone is still intact because it has a crack in it. Senior says that the crack means that the stone must have been repaired by the evil fiends. Senior also says that monk puhong had told him about the split, but that his master had only learned about it from the master. The group decides to investigate the left side of the cave first, and then investigate the right side. Senior and fashan decide that if anyone runs in the direction of the right cave, then they should shout and signal for the others to join them. Senior warns everyone to be careful, as they are entering the cave. He says that if they or anyone runs into fiends they will not be able to communicate with each other, and that he will fight with all his might. He tells everyone to stay calm.
