In this chapter, the narrator explains that he must defeat the "demon heart" in order to enter heaven. He feels that he has to kill all of his hallucinations so that he can break through the heart of the demon. He tells everyone that he will never cultivate the "ruthless path" of heaven, even if he does have to die. He says that if he had to die, he would not be able to throw away his feelings for him, and that he would never give up cultivating the "void realm." This is the second of the three ways of heaven. The narrator wonders what happened to his father. He thinks that he should have either died or chosen the ruthless path, but how does he know that there is a third option. He wonders how he could have killed his father, and how he can know that he is not dead. He asks the narrator what kind of "terrifying energy" is that, and the narrator answers that it is the ten million years old emperor beast.
