Synopsis

This chapter focuses on the protagonist's internal struggle with his 'Illuminating Sword Technique,' which is revealed to be inherently greedy and causes an 'energy deviation' akin to an inner demon. He expresses shame at relying on the technique despite its power. He is confronted with two paths: succumbing to the inner demon or seeking help from others. Ultimately, he's invited to meet a young physician, implying the possibility of a cure or at least guidance.
