In this chapter, we learn that the essence of a person's life comes from his or her birth. The essence of one's soul is nourished and nurtured by others, and this is the basis of the cultivation of the soul. In other words, a person who is in harmony with heaven and earth will be able to cultivate himself or herself. In this passage, we are introduced to the "brother" of the "Stone Village," who has returned from the "blue afterglow" sect. He tells the village that the "colored aura" he saw in the sky was a result of his bloodlines, and that he needs to protect people in the village. The village is shocked to learn that he is from the same sect as the "old man," and that the old man has rejected the "easy way out" offered by the sect. The old man says that the sect has invited him to help them find their "source," but the village has refused. He says that he thinks they have hit him too hard, and they will kill him if they have to. He asks the village to leave, and the village screams, "Kill them all!" The village says that they will not allow anyone to escape, and if the sect retaliates, the village will be unable to resist them. They apologize for their behavior, and say that if they admit that they were wrong, they should accept their punishment in the future. This way, they say, they will never be able again to harm others. They say that they are sorry for their actions, and ask the village's old man to forgive them if he admits that he was wrong
