This chapter opens with a flashback to the beginning of the previous chapter. The narrator explains that he has reached the "martial ancestor realm" and that his soul has been "burnt halfway through" . He tells us that once his soul is "burned," it will take him at least 30 years to recover. He says he has searched the entire "sacred phantom palace," but he cannot find any treasure. He asks if anyone has already taken the treasure, and the narrator tells him that the strongest martial ancestor has to give "face" to the "holy child" , and that is why the holy child hasn't yet killed anyone. He then tells the audience that if they want to leave, they must leave the interspatial ring that he gave to them. He also tells them that they can't leave without giving him his share of the loot. He explains that even if he manages to kill "nie li," all the treasures will eventually fall into the hands of "the venerable god." He then asks if "xuan ming" is really dead, and if he is with "yan yang," he can kill him instantly. He adds that he hopes that the next time they meet, they will not be enemies, because if he wants to kill him, he can do so instantly. They then discuss the fact that they said they would split the treasure they found, but that they haven't gotten their share yet. They also discuss the possibility of having a talk with "the holy child."
