The hallmaster tells the three of them to start training immediately. He tells them that the reason he kept them in the room was not simply to cultivate, but to find their own path. The choice of which path they should take is in their hands. He warns them that if they do not find their path, they will be defeated eventually. The room creaks, and the sound of a spiritual attack is heard. The spiritual power of this attack must be coming from these things. The key to training one's mind is to push it back, he tells them. He asks if they are happy for them, and they tell him that they will bring the sect back. The reason for their downfall lies in themselves, the hallmaster says. He says that he will visit them every holiday, and he will take back whatever belongs to the sect until the day he can exterminate all of them.
