This chapter's epigraph comes from a famous poem by the famous poet William Faulkner, "The Elements of Reason." In this poem, a "sarrier" is depicted as a disembodied snake, and a "flame spirit" is described as a "spatial cage" . The flame spirit is a kind of intelligence that is comparable to the intelligence of a "high-ranking magical beasts" that can transform into humans. In this chapter, the flame spirit of the fallen heart is in front of the protagonist, and the protagonist is trying to figure out how to use it to his advantage. The protagonist explains that he has a plan to steal it, but the protagonist cannot tell him what it is. He tells the protagonist that he must not let the protagonist know about the plan, because the protagonist's school is crazy about it. He explains that the protagonist must use the high-level cultivation rooms first, since the competition for this is not as fierce as it is for the medium-level rooms. He also explains that if the protagonist dares to steal his item, the protagonist will not be able to call it his own, because his name is not written on the item. He says that he will beat the protagonist up each time he sees the protagonist. He adds that he would never fall in love with a jerk like the protagonist either, and that both of them should die together. This chapter ends with a private duel between the protagonist and the elder lih, a member of the inner branch. If the protagonist defeats the elder, he will be subordinate to the white clan, and he will have to hand over all of his fire energy. But if he wins, the elder will not have to worry about anyone from his sect.
