In the meantime, Lingyan has lost all of his memories, and the only way to get them back is to go back to the mansion. Lingyan says that he's not going back to that mansion, because he doesn't want his memories back. The ruthless path is the only true path, he says, and it's the same path that Emperor Qiang cultivated. He compares the ruthless path to the killing path of the old patriarch, and says that it'll turn Lingyan into a "heartless demon." Lingyan wants to kill Lingyan, but he can't because his body remembers him. He says that if he keeps going on like that, he'll become a demon, and that's why Lingyan asks him to come back. He's already awakened his heavenly power, and now he should focus on cultivating his demon.
